>>94397338

99% of the cards won't be played in 2 years because if they don't power creep those cards how are they going to sell sets?

The most functional you can build it is by putting overlord at the helm and tutoring for morophon asap. After that you can do things like fetching sliver queen and basal sliver for all kinds of combos. Effects like pic related make it stronger. If this sounds boring that's because it kinda is. However, slivers allow you to run like multiple different commanders depending on your mood, so if gets boring you can always swap your commander with any other legendary sliver or morophon.
>>
>>94397273
>Did Foundations actually convince someone you know to try Standard?
Yeah, it was a good starting point to jump back in

I knew that,which is why I thought the Jumpstart decks in the beginner pack weren't legal
>>
>>94397458
Then how do you sell standard sets?
If you say just make cards bad for standard but good for other formats then you have the issue of people stuck with a format that doesn't change

Foundations is great but most cards will be not played in two years

First Sliver snowballs like a motherfucker, i have a friend i have played probably over 100 games with who has used every single legendary sliver as his commander and he settled on the First as the most efficient. First Sliver deploys a huge force onto the board really fast and is also good at rebuilding if he ever gets wiped. He also has profane tutor as the only 0cmc nonland card in the deck, so he gets to cascade into it every single game in order to tutor Hivelord and make his board indestructible ASAP

Need help making cuts for this. Think I may have too many counterspells and removal, and not sure how good hard control is in 4 player. Added a bunch of theft effects because they seem kind of funny, especially if I steal commanders.
>>
>>94397273
I tried standard a while ago, it was bad, though foundations did have a lot of cards I liked.
>>
>>94398363
I saw the commander, closed the link, but saw the deck name as it was closing and opened the link again.

Blatant Thievery feels like it gets you the three best permanents in play, but that's only if they're evenly distributed and none of them are yours.

You've got a lot of piddly one drops to make Eluge unblockable and I don't really think that's relevant. Run Thieves' Passage I guess but hitting people with a 6/6 commander isn't worth a piece of cardboard. Aquitect's Will is cute but really not worth it. I get you want your attack triggers for flood counters but running some artifact tutors with things like Dolmen Gate seems more reasonable. Quicksilver Fountain would very much be worth it because even if you end up losing all your progress it fucks with people and rebuilds quick. I'd cut basically all your flicker shit on similar grounds. Counterspells are just as good at stopping removal and far more versatile.

Overall I'd cut back on ways to help Eluge get flood counters and have a few more splashy spells to take advantage of them being 1-3 mana cheaper. You also need to think about how your deck actually wins, because right now you're on operation "beat three men to death with a fish" and I played enough Scout in TF2 to know that's a tough sell.
>>
>>94398449
>right now you're on operation "beat three men to death with a fish" and I played enough Scout in TF2 to know that's a tough sell
Fuck, that got me. Yeah, I don't really have a wincon right now, I asked for suggestions earlier in the thread but didn't get much. Kind of why I'm going for more theft effects, at the very least I can stop other people from doing silly shit. Any clue what I could do to win? Only options I can see right now is just combos, but I hate combo wins.
>>
Thinking of building this guy. What would be some good things to throw in?

I'm aware he's an un-card. My pod is fine with it.
>>
>>94398481
shit that lets you make more copies of midnight clock, ideally cards that are noncreatures. Saheeli's artistry, cackling counterpart, mechanized production, etc.
>>
>>94398474
Unfortunately combos are the easiest way to go over the top of whatever other people are doing. If you get enough card advantage from casting ponders and mana leaks while Archmage Emeritus or Archmage of Runes are in play then you'll be able to brute-force it after a while. Token spam with Metallurgic Summons/Shark Typhoon/Murmuring Mystic/Talrand can also get you there, but they suffer from being unable to do anything on their own and not feeding into each other.

My closest deck to this is Kalamax which is a mix of izzet spellslinger and pump spell tribal trying to beat people to death with Kalamax. I guess worst case you can run Psychic Spiral and a few other ways to shuffle your graveyard into your library and then literally card draw people to death. Lacks panache but a win's a win.
>>
>>94398502
Yeah, guess so. I cut out most of the crap you said, I need one more cut. Any suggestions? I'll start looking for some kind of mill combo as well, since that seems at least more interactive than just spamming extra turn spells.
>>
>>94398363
You should add "the flood of mars"
>>
>>94398578
No, it's shit. It's slow, easy to remove, and doesn't do much on its own. Wasting the attack triggers on pumping my own lands is a waste of the flood as well, and if they can't attack for any reason, then they're just a waste of a slot.

Is this a good concept for a deck?
Lotr elves, lots of scrying, put stuff on the bottom of the deck until you find the One Ring. Get a lot of burden counters on it, digging further into your deck until you hit a Donate or similar card, then give the Ring away with 9 or 10 counters on it.
Is this good/bad? unfun due to lack of counterplay and unsuited for casual among friends? I'm new to mtg.

Anyone play pic related in Henzie?
I'm unsure if it's a fun one to slot in. In the case I draw a decent hand but get him as my 5-drop, I can blitz gitrog on turn 3 and sac Henzie, drawing 3 and getting 1,75 lands on average on the board as ramp. This seems passable at best. However if I draw it anywhere later, I can possibly blitz a creature alongside it, sac the blitzed creature to it, netting me an extra draw on top of the sac value, which'd be a great ramp + draw effect.

Also not sure about Greater Good and Evolutionary Leap. I feel like I rarely get value out of Evolutionary Leap, and Greater Good always seems too expensive when I could be blitzing another creature
>>
>>94399073
>Greater Good and Evolutionary Leap
I like birthing pod or birthing ritual
life's legacy is a one off version of greater good but cheaper.

>>94399208
Ojer Kaslem has been serving me well. Aclazotz is pretty good, but I'm not really going into discard apart from Archon of Cruelty, which I feel weakens Aclazotz a good bit.

Anon, if you're serious, this is kind of on both of you. If you're underage then the lack of maturity and communication makes sense. But if you're anything past your early twenties, it's on both of you for creating these frustrations.

Your friend should've been more mature and, probably begrudgingly, accept that he's not as clever as he imagined himself to be, and maybe ask around for advice & help.

And despite writing it yourself, you seem like the bigger immature asshole here.
>Crush friend and friends in games (assuming the other friends don't enjoy this for some reason)
>Not offering your friend any support with deckbuilding & piloting
>Not simply telling your friend he might've gotten a big head and he should chill down, and then offering out to help him with that
>Stating you hate the game, yet for some reason still playing it?

You're adults, right? If you give a shit about your friends and maybe enjoying this game, communicate your grievances and slights. Tell your friend that his behavior was frustrating and admit that you weren't exactly supportive either. Recognize where you both went wrong and try to build towards having actual fun in the game and with each other.
If you need any advice on this, feel free to ask.

You don't have to explicitly state you want to be unique when the very idea is that. My suggestion would be to look at each mono colours legendary pool (using scryfall) and note the ones that seem to stick out to you ^.^ for example I find Aeve to be quite a unique mono green legendary, mono green storm is cool! Maybe Dosan stax I'm not sure! But there is an easy way to find legendaries to build around for your purposes

Mono black burn is doable, gotta build it as big mana with things like crypt ghast, nirkana revenant, doubling cube etc. Could build it with Maga, traitor to mortal at the helm so you have burn in the command zone.

Here's my Sliver deck. I think you're going to have the general issue with Slivers all the time that they get hated on hard and are tough to bounce back after a board wipe. I've been using Gravemother just for the graveyard effect, but First Sliver is undeniably the best.

>I should have clarified I was told this is a bad card and I'm not sure why?
It enters tapped, so it's slow even for a colorless source. Then you have to pay 2 to get two lands that enter tapped so it's EXTRA slow and on top of that, it's not even any two, it's two basics of one type. It's just not very good. I would rather have a standard basic than Myriad, even in a three color deck.
>>
>>94400357
yes as long ws you accept after you win once people will focus your shrines even when you are not the treat. Also you can use the aura thief ± enchanted evening combo, wich feels great if you pull it out, btw dont use tutors you will buy a lot of cards anyway.
>>
>>94400491
If you don't know why, you aren't playing in situations you need to worry about it. Keep playing games. Most players are bad at Magic so worrying about suboptimal card choices is just needless anxiety.

what drives people to play a deck that is nothing but the most unoriginal/obvious cards the pile could have. isn't it boring when the deck builds itself?
or are these the guys mark was refering to when he said people don't want to build decks in a deck building game
>>
>>94400541
I like Slivers and have since 1997?
>>
>>94400431
I like the idea of "passively" doing stuff, though yeah, I guess the point of the deck is pretty straightforward

>>94400495
I feel like part of the challenge is making the 5 colors somehow work (even though it's obviously easier than back in the original Kamigawa)

>>94400513
>aura thief ± enchanted evening combo
neat
>>
>>94400558
so you have had no imagination for over 25 years. it's very disheartening to see someone not improve ever
>>
>>94400597
I do have 30 other decks built. I'll admit straight out that there's no real creative way to build Slivers or, indeed, play Slivers. They're on the simplistic side of an already simple strategy. I eschew Changelings, at least, and I intend to replace as many new-style, one-sided Slivers as I can with classic-style, affects-everyone Slivers because that's how they're supposed to be.
>>
>>94400441
Why do you think first sliver is better than overlord? Especially when overlord lets you fetch morophon which makes most of your deck free.
>>
>>94400620
that's FIRE for you. no drawbacks, all upside, all the time
>>
>>94400620
Don't listen to him, this general is very combo focused.
If you're wanting to win by damage through slivers just do that and put in what ramp/interaction/recursion/overruns you need to make it go
>>
>>94400655
I don't use Morophon, personally, because I don't use the Changelings. And when I did use Overlord, on more than one occasion it got stolen by an opponent who then used it to steal anything I played. I enjoyed the randomness the cascades more, but even so, I'm not using First Sliver, either.
>>
>>94400729
Fair, I hadn't really considered how much of a steal target he is.

But it's the same card with a fifth of the text
>>
>>94400769

Both cards have full text boxes
>>
>>94399534
try to recreate a 60 card deck that you're fond of from first principles, so that the synergies are mechanical and build towards a gameplan, instead of surface level value pile synergies.
that or try building a secret commander deck, where your goal is to find a card in the 99 and you build around synergies with that card, instead of your commander.

I am currently projecting.
It's probably not combo specifically but the general is very much biased towards faster games.
Typically when anons here say they want to do a greater than 4-5 mana commander or some niche tribe the response they get is the game will be over by then or combo player will pop off. Or that they don't have a wincon or are too slow.

4 player EDH games full of players playing multiple spells with full text boxes per turn, dozens of permanents with multiple triggered abilities constantly on the field, and players taking 5-10 minute nondeterministic turns that don't win them the game tend to be incredibly exhausting.
lowering the amount of complexity per card makes the game more about strategy and playing around your opponents, and less about trying to keep up with your opponents autistic fidget toy of a deck where they're constantly rolling dice for attractions and resolving spells that copy auras that make something cost two less if mercury is in retrograde and taps to deal 2 damage to a goblin, which when damaged will deal that amount plus two to a random opponent, who then gets the top card of their library exiled, which can be cast until that players next turn if they pay three energy and sacrifice a permanent that has "ward: pull out an eyelash"

Definitely helps if you play with limited people. I play exclusively with my friends, and we've come to know people's more played decks. To the point where, not quite silver bullets, but people will slot in interaction to counter specific strategies.
>Lots of artifacts like treasures, slot in artifact-enters-tapped hate
>Indestructible shenanigans, slot in more sacrifice or -x/-x
>Teferi's protection and other protection, slot in trample and damage-can't-be-prevented effects
It's nice, and we play varied enough decks that any silver bullet feels wasted over simply running more flexible interaction.

lately i've been playing a draw-go deck where i just, sit around casting fatties, countering/removing peoples novel length value engines and threatening aetherize if anyone comes after me for retribution.
its probably the most fun i've had in pick up games where i'm not with a regular group, genuinely think interaction is the key to it all.

BUT NOBODY IS BUYING
>>
>>94402236
Aetherize looks nasty. Big fan.
>Interaction is key
Agreed. When my group first started, everyone (excluding 1 guy) was new. When we eventually got beyond buying a precon and later upgrading it, one guy made an Arbaaz Mir boros deck that flickered a lot. Had a lot of protection, so Timmy strategies didn't really fare well. Timmy decks would hit each other, while the boros guy managed to snag a staggering amount of games before the group as a whole learned some basic threat assessment.

Now, a while later, our decks actually pack a good amount of interaction and it's made games way more fun.
I've made an Ivy Gleeful Spellthief deck and jammed like 20 pieces of interaction and a strong amount of draw in it. Looking forward to testing the waters for how much interaction is too much.

Wanting to make a deck with custom art I'll get printed on a proxy order themed around Warriors/Berserkers/etc themed around Warhammer Chaos Warriors (I'm fuckin baffled why 40k was chosen when frankly the Realm of Chaos and Warriors fits MTG planar lore far more). I'm thinking of going with Yidris Maelstrom Wielder as the commander for cascade, but what's a good way to go about making a thematic warrior tribal, or at least warriors, giants, horrors, etc - evil fighty things. I already turned my actual 40k precon into a Demon Tribal (hits like a truck frankly), but I'm not really used to tribals built around not spamming commander damage or poison.

I am currently trying to build up an agatha deck that revolves around lands, animating them, and pumping them all up to kill them with overrun effects on creatures. any suggestions? sadly there's not TOO many payoffs for lands with large activated abilities, but still.

Kamahl, Fist of Krosa sounds like he would be right up your alley. Repeatable overrun effects weren't too common last time I checked and Agatha makes subsequent activations cheaper.

I dont know why but Yeva is my commanderfu. Does it really just hit you when you find the right match?
>>
>>94402740
Yeah, I have him in there. I want to make huge beat up turns with lands, since if I'm ramping out of control, the more mana i have to activate something that buffs everything, including agatha for the first time, which make it so much easier to get over the hump of activating them 10 times

>>94404883
There are a good deal of cards that involve guessing or putting things in piles. There was even one in foundations. The way I play mine is by cloning Toymaker and using effect doubling cards like roaming throne and Delney. Things get very out of hand if you have multiple Toymakers. It's fairly easy to protect Toymaker in esper, and he's a low enough cmc that I can recast him.

He's fun. The pile thing adds a nice mind game to things. It can get a bit annoying though when you're doing it like 3+ times a turn.

I have a Narci deck with like 25 sagas. I know what "annoying" feels like.

I think I would enjoy such a game once and then I would be annoyed about all the piling and choosing.

NGMI

But seriously I was going through my deck lists and realized in every two color commander I only run about 10 dual/utility lands and the rest is all basics. Never really had an issue with them. The duals are all nothing fancy either. Most expensive one I use is the bond land which in commander, why wouldn’t you?

Why do angel cards have to be so expensive? AAAAAAAAAAAH

Angels are one of the few tribes the female playerbase cares about
>>
>>94405552
I made 7 decks before deciding to make angels
>>
>>94405544
Because they're often also bombs/hatepieces in their colors, as opposed to other tribes that mostly only see play in tribal decks.
>>
>>94403572
I concede the moment someone plays any of the cards that require you to track stuff more complex than counters. That kind of shit is barely fun in a singleplayer game, it's insufferable in 4 player multiplayer.
>>
>>94405570
Sure but they're mostly consistently like $5. I've played plenty of good cards that are only a buck or two at most because they're so good that they become ubiquitous

The idea is foundations will last 5 years but it's selling super well so expect to get a new one every year and then twice a year.

They don't give a shit about the longevity or balance of the game, just that they can get more paypiggies to slurp up powercrept slop.
>>
>>94406012
>just that they can get more paypiggies to slurp up powercrept slop
True, but foundation have literally zero (0) playable card in it kek. At this rate i'm not too bothered about the balance of the game when it comes to this set.
>>
>>94406012
But foundations isn't really full of power creep anon:) this is clearly a very concerted effort to revitalize standard but youd rather be a pissy faggot cause corporations exist

No one is talking about this but I need to be sure it works, if I have General Kreat, The Boltbringer on the field, and then I make infinite Conspicuous Snoops with Kiki-Jiki on the top of my library, doesn't everyone else get pinged to death due to Kreat's ability?

This would also be true with Impact Tremors?

You'd also be correct. You make infinite creature tokens, therefore you get infinite ETB triggers.

My friends and I got into magic earlier this year. Up until recently we played with precons but a friend of mine made a copy/clone deck and I just recently made a goad dragon one.
Now he's telling us he spent $400 on a black/white angel and vampire lifedrain/gain deck. What's a good counter?
>>
>>94406304
I heard Flusterstorm is a good counter.

To the Umori player from last thread: This is quite similar to my first Slime Against Humanity draft.
But, like you, I found that black doesn't really bring that much to the table (except Uchuulon, that guy is awesome), so I switched it to Gruul.
Minsc may not be an ooze himself, but flinging his goo into people's faces is funny enough for me, and it gives me real nice carddraw sometimes.
And I found a lot more red cards I could use, although it cost me quite a few SaHs.
River Song's Diary is a great find, I'll look for a way to slot that in somewhere.

Here's my deck, I'm always open for suggestions:

>>
>>94406726
x2s are winmores, but they tend to be really expensive and otherwise do nothing the turn you play them unless you already have some other value engine on board. What decks do you make right now, because a good creature token deck could probably win with an anthems or overrun effects instead
>>
>>94406741
why would you play with shitty craterhoof instead of actual craterhoof

>>94406747

>>
>>94406679
seems like the inverse of Fun (due to making non-games if you don't answer it immediately), Replayable (for every game being the same turning down variety) and Exciting (because you will groan the moment you see a card like that snowball out of range)
all I can imagine it still being is Inviting with the initial shock value of a powerful card (which has been happening very much recently). how long that will last is debatable
>>
>>94406755
The real problem is that in non-commander formats is that setup just isn't worth it because red deck wins, so you never actually get to "do the thing" nearly as often as you'd think
>>
>>94406755
None of this applies to 60 card formats anon.
>>
>>94406304
I remember you anon. Did you make any progress with making your own deck, or adjusting your precon to stand a better chance against the copy/clone deck?
>Counter
Run more interaction. Learn the key pieces that make the deck work. Read the cards to do so. And then interact with them via whatever ways fit in your own deck
>>
>>94406741
why would you play an overrun without some other creatures either tho. seems like a win more to me too

Playing an overun does something if you have an established board. Tapping out for 6 and playing Doubling Season does literally nothing even if you have a board, then your buddy goes "uhh yeah in response to you trying to make tokens or whatever i disenchant your doubling season"
>>
>>94406763
non-commander formats are just removal piles with a single threat today anyway
>>
>>94406747
>why would you play with shitty craterhoof instead of actual craterhoof
Maybe he doesn't own a Craterhoof and doesn't want to proxy one or buy a real one. Maybe he's purposefully building on a budget. Maybe he only wants to make paper decks out of the cards he already has. Maybe Craterhoof is fucking boring, predictable shit. There are plenty of reasons to play the suboptimal cards.

Feels good bros. It’s going to a buck fifty. Sadly people’s faith in random retards online who got popular by personality rather than being good at games will not see such a market crash
>>
>>94406778
so they design self sufficient cards because they don't affect other formats? I'm confused
>>
>>94406818
That is in no way what the post anon made is saying, you're retarded.
>>
>>94406801
>playing Doubling Season does literally nothing even if you have a board
well that's just flat out wrong
>>
>>94406825
They design cards for limited/standard and 40-60 card decks with up to 4 of a kind. All your complaints about FIRE only apply to the way commander is played, not how 60 card 1v1 formats are played. This is in no way confusing, you're just retarded
>>
>>94406832
>play doubling season
>it enters and does nothing
Vs
>play overrun effect
>it buffs all your creatures and you swing out
No it's 100% correct.
>>
>>94406840
>They design cards for limited/standard
ok that's funny
>>
>>94406832
Anon i'm not saying the card doesn't have an effect. I'm saying is you cast the card and it does nothing when you cast it. Which means unless you already have a great board that's shitting out multiple counters and tokens each turn (already winning) it does nothing until you untap.
Vs overrun, you have a board of 10 tokens, but no token engine, you buff up and swing out
>>
>>94406846
you might be thinking of a boardstate that has no synergy with doubling season the turn it comes down, which is not where or how that card is played
>>
>>94406854
if you have 10 tokens you are already winning too in a deck with overrun strat
>>
>>94406872
Wat
>>
>>94406872
yeah it's easier to cast a few spells in early turns to build up a board then cast (usually more expensive) value engine pieces to make doubling season work, while overrun just relies on having creatures
>>
>>94406751
steal other peoples finishers probably
>>
>>94406751
The secret is to focus on permanents' theft and mostly ignore spell-casting stealing.
And to not overload on theft spells, focusing on the most efficient ones and then banking on sac outlets and blink to repeat the process is often cheaper and more impactful, even if it also makes you more fragile, as you are reliant on a more convoluted setup.

Yes, I hang out with my dad on Saturdays/Sundays and then come home. Watched some college ball on saturday while sorting my booster box from Foundations and eating food, then today me, my mom, and my dad just watched the Bills shut down Kansas City. Shit was cash, out of the games we saw, I predicted (guessed) the outcome of 4/6 of them. I went for the Bears, the Steelers, Bills, Lions, Patriots, and the Vikings. Admittedly, my favorite teams are Steelers, Lions, and Bills so those were the only ones I was invested in.
Now that I'm home, I'm gonna be working on a new deck to start filling out a new slot in my roster, Liesa, Shroud of Dusk. Lifegin + Angel tribal, aiming for a bit lower power than a Giada-led deck but she'll be in the 99 since I pulled one from my Foundations box.

https://www.archidekt.com/decks/10132693/angels_of_dusk
This is the preliminary list of just stuff from my Foundations box + a Whip of Erebos I had laying around in Coram and wasn't really using.
