So I am very, very new to commander. I wanted to make my first deck Samwise Gamgee because he is one of my favorite characters. It was going to be a food combo deck. When looking up cards for the deck I looks like black has a lot of great cards to go with food. So I thought I could do a sam frodo deck, but then Merry and Pippin look just better, so maybe Merry and Pippin instead. Pippin also lets me go wide as a back up win con.

Again looking at cards I feel like I can streamline the deck by changing the commander to either chatterfang or ygra eater of all. But then I lose white and Samwise Gamgee the original card I wanted.

So what do you guys do in this kind of situation? Do you guys go for power and speed or flavor and flare? Also what is better, white removal and utility or putting a combo piece in the command zone?

Nah players are perfectly competent, they just need to be put into a situation where they can succeed. Like people know frame data in fighting games, if edh players were expected to be knowledgable they would rise to the occassion. However a certain type of person loves to infantilize strangers and I have very little tolerance for that.

I'd say lean on flavor and flare.
All else being equal, in a 4-player game you should only win about 25% of the time, so you need the deck to play in a way that's pleasing to you.
Pursuing power and speed can be the thing you learn that you enjoy, but i find that's something you grow into once you have some basics down.

>>94238662
"Edh players" encompasses demographics that are beyond hope. You can't reason with the "games must go on for hours and only end when I want to win" grognards that plague casual tables.

You dont negotiate with retards and you dont negotiate with terrorists. You tell them "hey, this is banned as commander" and then you show them where it's banned. Problem solved. Same way you teach them to get better. It just takes patience and consistency; anyone can improve with enough reps.

>>94238771
Fighting games are extremely popular and frame data is incredibly straight forward in modern games; training mode outright tells you. People dont like fighting games for the same reason people dont like edh, namely they have a bad mentality and are unable to adapt their strategies as competition improves. They find certain things "cheap" because they are unable to adapt, and make excuses to justify why they're actually good even though they lost. I'm a zoner and set play kind of guy, I understand how it can be frustrating when I hit you on oki with a change up or a mix up, but if you're going to play the game learning to deal with fireballs is step one, just like learning to deal with counters in magic. I dont expect someone to understand full 2 frame parry chains off supers in sf3 because it requires a lot of practice and execution, but it's pretty easy to explain how brainstorm interacts with fetches and surveil lands to be much more powerful than the sum of their parts. People are more than capable of adapting, whether they want to is a different question.

>>94238582
You need to find out what you like to do first. For me, the most important part is that my deck can somewhat reliably accomplish the "idea" of the deck. In some cases this is blowing up all permanents while my board is phased out, in other cases it's throwing a 49/49 thromok at an opponent. But you might find that flavor is more important to you, and that you're "compromising" when you go for power instead. I'd say buy a precon or construct a simple budget deck, and play with it a few times. Most people are also pretty willing to let others borrow a deck (although you will definitely play worse when it's not your own deck ofc). Get a feel for what you want to do.
>>
>>94239001
Yes anon, the most popular game of all time with a giant esports scene and multi billion dollar skin industry has many more players than two newish fighting games. I'd wager more people play either sf or tekken each month than all the users on mtgo.

Depends on the big creatures deck. He's only better than a hedron archive (or a card like pic related since you're in green) if you play multiple 6+ CMC creatures per turn, and also play one every turn. Niche cost reducers like this can often be noob traps.

Anon the genre is notorious for people picking up a game and dropping it after getting demolished.
>>
>>94239220
Reducers are better cause you can play more spells. Hedron gives 2 mana but you would still need say 12 mana to cast two 6 drops. With a reducer you can do the same with only 8 mana

>>
>>94239255
The question is are you actually doing that on every turn after the reducer comes down?
>>
>>94239257
I kind of like it. It has this old school 90's patina and is all function over form. It's kind of byzantine and arcane, from installing the program to getting the cards with bots. Way better than arena in basically every possible way, even the UI. God arena is so fucking ugly.

>>94239247
Eh, depends. Tons of people play fighting games for single player content or with their friends, but playing any competitive game online is a recipie for a bad time if you're weak in constitution. Fighting games with your bros is peerless; my brother and his militarty friends have great fun drinking and doing dragon punches even if they arent up to snuff to play online.
>>
I had a thought about it after someone mentioned it last thread, but the law of unintended consequences is staring me in the face, so I figured I'd run it by the thread:

What would the consequences be of allowing:
1. Creature cards that can become legendary to be commanders (flip cards, Tenth-District Hero)?
2. Non-creature cards that can create legendary creatures (Dark Depths)?

If there are any other edge cases I'd like to think them over. A few of these are a fairly easy rule 0 at casual tables, but would official support of any of these break the game?

More likely to have the chance to do so with the reducer. I'm trying to show you how reducers are not the same as hedron and "only better if casting more than one" because they open up the avenue to casting more than one each turn. Hedron doesn't!

>just like learning to deal with counters in magic

>>
>>94239685
Yes, that is obvious and was already made clear from my first post. The point I'm making is that niche cost reducers (not like the medallions and such) can often be a waste because you don't make enough use of them. Sure, it's nice to be able to cast 2 6CMC creatures in a turn when you have 8 mana open, but how many turns are you not doing that? On how many turns are you casting a big sorcery instead, or multiple smaller creatures, or some big artifact or enchantment? Cost reducers aren't "better" than hedron, it completely depends on the deck and situation. For example, if you have 8 mana available with the cost reducer on the field, but the optimal play right now would be to cast a 6 mana enchantment and a 4 mana sorcery, you'd have been better served with the hedron.
>>
>>94239241
It's in a format when it's the most efficient way to win and where you can't prepare for everything and have no sideboard.
>>
>>94239339
It does mean that you have a spell which counts as a creature in pretty much every zone other than the stack.
Makes for some interesting builds since it's way easier to recur creatures. Shame we only got four of them in Blex, Extus, and Jadzi.
>>
>>94239339
How does this work? Do you have to track commander tax for both sides, independently?
>>
>>94240159
No their the same card which means they share commander tax, it's better than it sounds honestly since two of them are black and Jadzi has self-recovery on her backside.

blood avatar is pretty great too since it's a repeatable sac outlet in the command zone that effectively can't be removed

Usually you want to do Buried Alive + a reanimate on the same turn, but yeah. Sol Ring, Dark Rit, Mana Vault, etc. for ramp and Vamp, Imperial, or Demonic to tutor. Get Necro Ooze into your grave and you can do something like Asmodeus/Skirge to dig and play for another combo or kill Ballista/Phyrexian Devourer if your deck is set up for it.

Run this in my Urza deck, I fuckin' love it. 2 mana to turn every land drop into Scry 1 is a super high floor for this card, and the sudden Marit Lage option makes people pretty nervous. I've seen it eat removal before my Commander at times.

You're absolutely right. Once i put it down, I had a couple people ask me what it even was and why they had never heard of it since it seems to be just objectively good. On top of that, the art is already one of my favorites in MTG history. Maybe I should get a playmat of it or something if possible.

Depends on the combo. Anything that needs you to untap to win is fair. If it can only by stopped by a counterspell it should be reserved for competitive games.

I have a isset tokens that kinda sucks and i’m thinking about upgrading it either into jeskai tokens or jeskai energy. What do you guys think? I’d probably do Liberty Prime for energy and Kykar for tokens.
>>
>>94241047
I'll throw Zinnia out as an option for Jeskai Tokens, it's surprisingly fun to make more of creatures that were never intended to be copied or come in multiple times in a row.
>>
>>94241063
It's not even remotely Jeskai, but I'm cooking a deck with Xavier Sal that revolves around mutating over legendary creatures, then making token copies of them to populate. It's fun to make the legendary rule into more 'legendary guidelines'
>>
>>94241047
Kykar might draw hate from strangers since that deck is occasionally built as combo. Should be fine if you have a consistent playgroup though. Only reason I could see someone harassing you about Liberty Prime is because it's UB.
I haven't built either decks myself. I tend to avoid token decks since they clog up the board. Energy doesn't seem that interesting to me.

ahh interesting thanks. ya zinni seems neat too. my secret objective is just like if i ever get any good white stuff it’d be a home for it. white token related cards are actually kind of pricey. but energy cards are cheap right now and just got two precons and mh3. i haven’t played with or against it. so im not sure if its that fun but definitely cheaper than a token strategy… in jeskai anyway.

Been arguing with myself for a few days about whether i should try and make a deck with land destruction as a theme. Maybe not MLD, but enough to keep people on the struggle bus.
I'm fairly confident that my group is mature enough to handle it, but who's the commander? what's the wincon? how do i avoid screwing myself.

I'm open to any and all suggestions
>>
>>94238380
Ob and Tibalt should form a group. Then revive Chromium's wife Piru and Xenagos. Ask them to join their cause and get Baron Sengir as their last member to form their own 'Antagonist Avengers Assemble' team.
>>
>>94241856
The problem with land destruction as a theme is "what exactly is your wincon"? You're just playing hard stax at that point, in which case you're building your deck backwards. Who are you going to play that land destruction benefits?

If you can't come up with a wincon which isn't just getting everyone at the table bored enough to scoop, then I wouldn't make the deck.
>>
>>94241856
MLD and Land Hate together if you wanna produce the most salt. Blood Moon, Citadel of Pain, Price Of Glory, Dwarven Miner, Dwarven Blastminer, Wake of Destruction stuff like that. The wincon for these decks are very similar: all their lands are destroyed so you gotta now outpace them and summon more shit, faster. Or they ragequit.

instead of destruction I have gone with punishing non-basics. cards like price of progress and the new lynx are examples of wincons if you copy them enough. it depends on your pod tho. won't do much if they run mostly basics

There's a few ways to do land destruction as a theme. You can either use things like shivan harvest or weird combos like using Kamahl to animate your opponent's lands and then wipe the board. This is assymetrical by definition so at that point the land destruction is your wincon, as you've denied only your opponents their critical resource, while you can keep playing as normal. In decks like these artifact destruction is critical, to fully cripple the opponent.

You can also go for more of an MLD theme. At that point the best way to do it is either:
-hard stax + combo
-running cards like jokulhaups and obliterate while also running cheap combat tricks that give your permanents indestructible, phase them out, exile them until end of turn etc. Boros is actually pretty good at this.

Running both of those in the monored deck I built recently and they put in work. Winter Moon is also great for a two mana artifact. It affects you too, but in one color decks that are running a handful of utility lands it isn’t too bad and it brings 3-5 color decks to an ass grinding halt
>>
>>94242111
This is great. That's probably going in the list, thank you.

>>94242146
I wouldn't combine all of it together, you'd lose focus then. I threw shivan harvest into my gruul token deck because it seemed like a good idea, and it's performed quite well. I have a boros deck that uses the evasive combat tricks + boardwipes that also wipe lands and that also works decently. Combining both ideas is probably not great.

There's also lots of creatures that can be tapped to destroy a land, and I think there's a goblin that has an XXR ability to sacrifice it and destroy x amount of lands.
>>
>>94242138
oh yeah instead of destruction anything that renders them useless is a good way to double punish

Aurelia the warleader. The idea started as an angel tribal deck (which it mostly still is) with a sunforger package. While picking out the sunforger package I realized that cards like teferi's protection, cosmic intervention and ghostway can also be used proactively before casting a jokulhaups or obliterate.

Anyways, I discounted your extra combat card since you don't get to use it until the following turn- my initial question was along the lines of 'how does this guy win the game right when he comes down?' An extra combat trigger is good sure, but not if you have to wait a whole table rotation for it on turn 4/5

Ok... going by my original statement what combo does with this guy do as soon as you activate him one time?

>They really are just printing infinites in precons now though.
Avoiding infinites is silly.
>>
>>94243239
It homogenizes play. We don't get new infinites, we just get the same infinites with different pieces, or sometimes just the same pieces slapped into random decks.

I don't like combos because the players who like that shit genuinely look like they're going to cry if you stop them from winning.
>>
>>94243225
>>94243239
There's nothing wrong with a deck being capable of hitting an infinite combo.
People will get salty if your decks purpose is to win with it though. Like tutoring or having it in the cz, ie Stella, but drawing into it is part of the randomness and interaction of games.

That's motherfucking Zhou Yu.

Last time I played against someone running this he apparently kept hand with 1 swamp and sol ring.

It was a swamp.

Play her with Yawgmoth, Thran Physician.

You pay 1 life and sac a creature to draw a card and put a -1/-1 counter on a creature. Every time you place a -1/-1 counter, you get a snake. Which you can then sacrifice to put a -1/-1 counter on a creature, and make a new snake.

This ability lets you draw cards as long as you have sac fodder. It can also act as a one-sided board wipe. If you have Blowfly Infeststion, Chatterfang or any token doubler then you can make a fuck load of creatures.
>>
>>94243221
To be fair it's more like he's attacking you with his entire fleet.
>>
>>94243645
>how much is the magic number for redundancy cards per deck?
depends largely on how many cards you expect to draw on average each game.
Let's say you are not playing blue.
Your opening hand is 7
you get one free mulligan but lets ignore that for now just know that it makes finding cards easier
you also get one free card draw at the beginning of your first turn so 8.
Let's say you want to get to 2 or 3 creatures before an effect like Earthcraft.
add 2 more free card draws for turn as you develop
you get to see about 10 cards so if you had 10 copies of an effect like that your chances to draw one by turn 3 is 67.4%.
This is why cantrips are so fucking good, imagine adding an extra 3 cards seen for 1 mana and increasing your odds to 77.3%.

how many one drops give you card advantage?
preordain gives you the draw odds equal to having a 79 card deck by itself.
Once you start playing with cantrips you wont go back its just incredibly obvious they are good even by the caveman methods you use to judge card value.
>>
>>94243937
>once you START
Anon... playing with cantrips is where everyone starts and where everyone moves away from because they are useless in this format. And yes, when the overwhelming majority of deck builders move away from something because their collective lived experience has deemed it bad that is one method by which humans come to an objectively superior solution (real card draw), can't believe I'm saying this but read Rand

>>94243933

That way if you are digging for something that isn't card draw you can find that too! Man this is some ground breaking shit!
THANK YOU ANON!

>>94244014
Well first I said comparable cost never 1. But you got esper, remora, benthic, betrayal, burning, combat/curiosity, keen sense. Just off the top of my head all engines or better than a single card forc1 mana which is dogshit.

oh so you are just retarded, got it.
>>
>>94244044
Why would I put suboptimal cards in when I can just include..... more, and better card advantage options that cost the same or maybe 1 mana more but will net me more cards to select from. Think I'll go with that because it is very clearly superior

>>94243298
Tutors in the command zone are shunned for most players to play them themselves, because people actually do enjoy their Singleton fromat and dont want to rely on the same 5 cards in the deck everytime, not necessarily because they dont want to play against it.

also tutoring on top is pretty mild, compared to shit like Light-Paws, i think Varragoth can be a fun mid tier Voltron

Benthic Biomancer? Keen sense? You are jumping through hoops to be less efficient than ponder assuming you don't get 2 for 1'd in the process.

I do not agree. spending more mana to draw more cards, time walks yourself when you could spend less mana, and have a higher compression of efficient cards and utilize your curve better.

Before Commander Legends I had a pirate deck that was almost all whatever shit from Ixalan and a few really old piece of shit pirate themed cards like Skeleton Ship and Sky Pirates. I said it wasn't a very good deck because it wasn't.
I cast Revel in Riches because the board was full of creatures. The next player wiped the board of creatures, and then no one had any enchantment removal so I won on my next upkeep.
Then they complained my deck was too strong. I didn't even do the actual board wipe.

IMO the strongest of the bunch is Crosis, or at least I had the best luck with him. Persecute is a hell of a card in the right scenario and even in the wrong one it still fucks shit up. You can pretty confidently plan to use the ability of any of these dragons once a game and so it better be at least somewhat impactful. Vorosh might be my favorite but also I'm convinced hes the worst. I have had better luck with even Treva if only because she doesnt paint a big target on her head.
