I don't think the idea is unsalvageable, but you would have to add a statement that you can't sacrifice it to activate an ability (you could still sac it to cast spells like Village Rites, or sacrifice it as part of an ability that's already activated).

It's salvageable if you completely remove what it's supposed to do. Anon wants an easy infinite sac to combo off of. Cost is irrelevant since there's ways to cheat out creatures, especially in black. The very idea of an ideal sacrifice creature that revives itself without cost makes it incredibly broken even if it was once a turn, since you're still going to be sacrificing it every turn to whatever outlet you have triggering whatever death triggers you got set up.

No limit per turn = day 1 ban. Once a turn = banned in 2 months. It would be Nadu tier of busted nonsense.

How many mana dorks/rocks substitute for a land?
>>
>>94817003
It's a Commander card my man. They do that so you can add all the ninjas/frogs/ramp/counterspells you want.
>>
>>94817028
Most of the times yes, like in the case of all the jumpstart legends, but at the same time it is an interesting design space for draft. Kamigawa draft was really good and Tatsunari was a cool card because he's just generally good (you basically get two 3/3s for 3 and one of them has upside) and you could run it if your deck didn't have blue or green, but it becomes even better if it does.

2.5-3 depending on cmc and whether it adds color or colorless. 37 lands are the mathematically proven sweet spot of not being mana flooded/screwed by land drops. Going down to 34-35 is greedy even if you have 10+ sources of 1-2 mana ramp and a low mana curve. Anything below 34 is going to lack consistency no matter how much ramp you throw in. On average you will get mana screwed more than you hit your drops and you'll be paying for mana everyone else with a sane land count got for free. Sure you'll have some lucky games where you don't even notice, but most of the time you'll be behind 3+ mana by turn 5-6 even with ramp out, which is a death sentence at a competent pod. Build better decks or tighten up your strategy and get up to 34 at the absolute bare minimum.

I mean ultimately it's still "infinite" sac fodder this way. It just locks you from the obvious wall of A+Bs. Funnily enough I don't think it would be banned even in its original form (that's more due to RC incompetence than the card being balanced though).

I like Azorius because all of my favorite cards are white, and protecting them from the bad guy with cards like force of will and daze feels nice. Force of Will, Force of Negation, and Daze are necessary evils to allow me to play the cards I actually enjoy, like Thalia, Seasoned Dungeoneer, Linvala, Knight of the Reliquary, etc. This is mostly in regards to legacy but the idea is the same in commander.

I'm pretty close to building a Lavinia Azorius Renegade deck and packing it with white hatebears and blue counter+draw. I have this deck laying around
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6840895#paper
but it's not really what I like. It's flicker and dungeon delve themed. I'm going to brainstorm a hatebear deck next.

No pun intended.
>>
>tq
I don't like Azorious because I don't like combos and playing UW fair means you will be very reactive instead of proactive. Stax and pillow fort can be fun but I like assembling a puzzle and putting pieces on the board instead of sitting in my cuckshed waiting until everyone else is too busy having fun to notice me suddenly winning the game, and so do my opponents since everyone loves to clutch a board wipe and stop a devastating turn from the dude with 5 big boys and slew of anthems from quashing the table.

That being said, I love Bant, Jeskai, and Mardu, and my next deck is going to be Narset Prowess.

Old player here, returning as noob in Commander
How's the Ixalan Ahoy Mateys deck for a beginner? I quite like the pirate theme and reanimation mechanic but i'm not sure it's a viable deck in itself.

>>94817091
Very strong. It probably isn't an exaggeration to say the LCI precons are some of the strongest ever printed.
>>
>>94817071
Do what you feel is right/fun but I'm just saying the math isn't on your side and ramp is no substitute for a cold hard untapped land drop. Two lands and arcane signet on turn two and no land on turn 3 means you basically just played a dual land that came in tapped/required 1 mana to activate with no secondary abilities and is very vulnerable to removal which would be worth about .10¢ if it were an actual land with those same characteristics. Ramp is supplemental not a substitute.
>>
>>94817091
Extremely viable. Swap Unsinkable for the generic Beckett, swap in more pirates with evasion, do some basic upgrades to the mana base and you have one of the best sneaky theft decks in the game that people won't be salty about. Even if you just play the precon as is it's still really powerful.

>What is it about playing an Azorius deck that truly resonates with you?
I feel as though I should have control over what does and does not happen to me, and you only really get that sensation running control cards in blue/white. My first 3 decks were white/blue and pic rel was my first commander (with every single cheap "untap target creature" card I could find), back when no one ran any interaction/spot removal. Locking down the entire battlefield every turn was straight up *magical*. I think the deck had like 19 counterspells
>>
>>94817161
I like 40-42 lands, personally.
People talk about draw and fixing and all that but the thing about a high land count is that is smooths out your early curve and your mulligans. It feels awful hitting turn 3 and praying for the heart of the cards to let you hit your land drop. You play with a lot of lands, you have a much higher chance of getting a good hand within one or two mulligans, and hitting your fourth and fifth land drops on time.
>but what about mana flood?
Once you actually have mana to spend, that's when you can start using your draw and card advantage spells. You want to use those spells to find cards that will win you the game once your board is prepared, not to desperately find lands on turn 2 or 3, if you're even able to cast them in time.
>if I add 2 mana rocks should I cut a land?
I don't know who came up with this math, but no. A mana rock costs 2-3 mana and gets you up one mana, but a land drop costs you nothing and gets you up one mana. Ideally you want to be doing both, so why would you cut one for the other?

At the end of the day, casting spells is fun. Having the mana to cast them is way more fun than the frustration of having them but not being able to use them. There is no golden ratio that will let you avoid flood every time, so just take it on the chin once in a while and enjoy the games where your shit does go exactly as planned.

Tutors are fine if you’re playing with decks that are also looking to tutor up a game-winning combo OR if you deliberately build the deck without infinite combos to tutor for
I don’t give a shit if you tutor for a board wipe, but if you tutor an infinite every game on turn 4 that shit gets old real fast outside of cEDH

Its not salvageable and it's objectively a dogshit card and a really terrible idea that would never work and if it did work it'd be an entirely different not poorly designed card. This is why you fucking niggers need to make your own thread.

This seems so inconsistent, if you sac the treasure in response to this ability you don't draw a card. But if you bounce or sac mangara in response to his ability the other permanent is also exiled. What connects the card draw here where it isn't connected on Mangaras card?
>>
>>94818962
To draw a card, you have to have the other player take control of it.
If you sac it, they can't take control of it.
>>
>>94819003
Is this helpful? I know that. I'm asking what about the cards is different where it's tied on one and not the other. Because the way I read them they seem more connected on Mangaras card than the financier. Mangara reads as one unified clause, financier three separate things
>>
>>94819017
The periods in the ability denotes checks.
Did you pick a player?
Did you exchange control of a treasure?
If true draw a card.
If there isn't a treasure to exchange control, the action in invalid and you don't draw.
Your card is just exile.
There are no checks. If it was written "exile [name]. Exile a creature opponent controls. Then it would be the same. It has to make a state check before the second part can be resolved.
>>
>>94819046
Then why do other cards say "if you did X" and not just state the clause and then put a period? Terribly inconsistent it seems. Likely just wanted to remove a trick from the card

Simple: break the stasis lock. It's a hard lock, only force of vigor can get you out. There's a land that does it too, you discard a card to untap it, but I cant remember the name. Your opponents cannot win. Beat them to death with a 1/1, it doesnt really matter once the lock is down.

>Depends. $1000 bucks on golf clubs or ski equipment is fine. $1000 on a car is a drop in the bucket. In general if you're an adult with a job you can afford $1000 once in a while for your hobbies, and magic is pretty affordable, all things considered. It's not like adopting a show dog or building a backyard forge.

All the alternatives you listed have actual use and have a reason for why they're so expensive. Comparing a 0.002¢ piece of cardboard and ink that was printed in 2.5 seconds en masse off the same machinery used to make business cards and thrown into a 40 pound box that has tens of thousands of the exact same cards in it to a full set of premium golf clubs that require specialised machinery to fabricate and inspection by people learned in the sport before they're shipped out by a few dozen at a time is asinine hope.

Spending so much money on a children's card game is extremely retarded. I'm guilty of doing so too with cards I like even though I proxy 90% of my decks but I don't cope by trying to equate being a fucking neckboard in some dingy room playing children's games with fat stinky borderline retarded nerds with shitty jobs as comparable to going out golfing with my boys and chugging beers on a sunny golf course while wheeling and dealing favors like law advice or dry wall installation because they have jobs that don't involve just sitting in front of a computer. You can enjoy your hobby while admitting it's a waste of money and time that will never be acceptable or cool to adults who have their lives together.

Theft haters are the biggest faggots along with stax haters.

What theft and stax have in common is they more strongly negatively affect optimized decks compared to weaker ones which makes whales with their $2k decks seethe.
They are based as fuck mechanics, and I always try to have at least one of each on hand.
Also, if you don't want people touching your precious $400 dual land, consider putting it in your binder or find a different hobby faggot.

>>
>>94818962
If all of a spell or ability's targets are illegal when it tries to resolve, it will be countered.

The only part of financier that targets is the part that targets the treasure. If the treasure isn't on the battlefield when the ability resolves, the ability is countered due to lack of legal target.

Mangara's only target is the creature it exiles. Mangara's position is irrelevant when the ability tries to resolve because the ability still has its legal target.

Ever had imbalanced non-games? Introducing Super commander -

Boardwipes have cycling zero and have the text “when this card is cycled, exile it”

This is because a new mechanic called ‘commanders orders’ comes into the game to rebalance the game and promote politics.

>Commander’s orders - Can use these once per game. Doing so bumps your commander tax by 1.

Farewell - Spend a commander tax to put a farewell to a vote. If at least three players vote yes then there farewell is put on the stack and each person who voted yes on a successful vote has their commander tax raised by 1.

Target - Single target removal of any permanent. Raises the users commander tax by 1.

Raid - Take a land from another player. Raises the users commander tax by 1.

Replenish - Draw two cards. Raises the users commander tax by 1

So i've been thinking about getting a Celestial Toymaker deck for a while, and i made a list but i'm not sure about it. The idea is to trigger the commander a bunch of times to drain, but that's not really a reliable win-con so i threw in some big sphinxes to hit in the air. But even then, it feels like its probably kind of jank. Another problem is that my list ended up with a very low creature count, and i play in a very creature-intensive meta so i'm sure i'm just going to get punched to death for having no blockers.

Something I don't understand about secret lairs is how scatter brained they are. Any other company in their right mind would have sold customers four Miku secret lairs you could play together cohesively in one deck as an incentive to collect them all. Not wotc. They're firing buckshot blind into the bush with these card choices. Awful art quality aside (and that is a BIG part of why it sucks) you could barely use them together in one deck if you tried. How am I suppose to use Child of Alara, Feather, Song of Creation, Snapcaster Mage, and Elspeth Tirel in the same deck? That's not even a deckbuilding challenge it just doesn't work. They'll bend over so far to make sure UB can be cohesively used together but every time with SL's it just goes out the window. One card you want and three of the most random rares in the game in different colors.

Drives me fucking crazy.
>>
>>94822077
The Secret Lairs aren't assumed to be used by people building new decks, but by people who already have decks and also like Miku. The goal is for as many people as possible to think "Oh, I could get a Miku for my ____ deck."

Building stax in zur is retarded. You don't want your shit to be easier to remove (creature removal being the most common and cheapest in the game).

i never claimed it wouldnt be easier to remove them, just pointed out that Hexproof is still a very good tool for protection and something that will likely throw the opponents off guard.

Is this a good description of Chaos?
Stolen from Reddit:
>Chaos mage here. Simply put, “chaos” in mtg means that you can’t tell the outcome of an action based on the input.

>Cascade is a form of chaos, though a weaker form because you have a reasonable expectation that the cascading card will resolve, and you know something about the card you cascade into (max cmc, at least). I’d consider Ojer K to be light chaos for the same reason.

>Not to throw shade, but I’ve always considered coin flip decks to be the absolute weakest form of chaos, because you always know what they’re gonna do—you just don’t know when they’re gonna stop.

>Stronger forms of chaos typically make it so even your opponents can’t predict the results of their own actions. This is where chaos starts to blur into stax—which is why some people don’t like to play against it—though personally I think counterplaying to chaos is loads more fun than counterplaying to stax control.

Does your classification of bad/good chaos vs weak/strong chaos correlate with the above? ie. bad = weak form, good = strong form

Turning stax into creatures is just not a good plan, I don't know how this is a difficult concept.
You are adding a vulnerability to cards that will be prioritized for removal.
>>
>>94822238
No one runs that
>>
>>94822499
I don't care what a redditor has to say, but at least chaos still lets me play my deck.

All of the most hated play styles are about not letting people play their deck
>stax
>mill
>theft

When you spent hours planning a decklist, at least maybe $40-$70 putting it together, and you only have enough spare time in a week to play maybe 4 games at an absolute max, anything to interferes with your ability to play the game is just fucking garbage.

>b-but muh probability, you might never have drawn the cards you milled or that I ripped directly out of your deck!!!!
Doesn't matter. You changed the possibility of me playing them from a "maybe" to a "no" and that's all that humans care about.

This card actually fucks so much. You can just throw it in any deck, even if you have zero synergy it will just end up drawing 5+ cards in a couple of turns if left alive

You know that recursion exists right? Removal doesn't make something bad. That's pretty silly.

I keep looking at this card but I keep cutting it because it feels like Regrowth, Once and Future, and Bala Ged Recovery just mog it too hard and more recursion is just greedy.

Have fun paying a total of 5 again to make a 3/3 deathtouch
And that's just ignoring the fact that I can have hexproof removal on a land in Arcane Lighthouse, or on an artifact in Shadowspear, or on an enchant that also does removal if I play Nowhere to Run in black.
>b-but now I have creatures to protect me too!

>>94822621
As someone who owns 6 different enchantress decks, I can tell you recursion of creatures is infinitely easier than recursion of enchantments.
What are you gonna use? Redress Fate for 6 (miracle 4)? Brilliant Restoration for 7? Dance of the Manse where X = 6? Open the Vaults for 6 and all your opponents artifacts and enchants come back too? You can't use Retether because Zur can't creaturize auras.

Doing stax with Zur is just retarded. It gives your enchants a vulnerability for no fucking pay off.

Carry on, you are correct. There's no reason to turn your enchantments into creatures at such a bad rate. At least Tezz turns all your boys into creatures to swing out.

>>94822714
Is your argument really "dies to doom blade?"
>>
>>94822740
No my argument is that stax pieces are high priority for removal and trying to build a stax deck with a commander that turns enchants into creatures is just retarded.
It's not "dies to doomblade" it's "inexplicably made your pieces more vulnerable for no benefit at all"

Again, Myrkul hatebears will give the exact same fucking dopamine rush, but the stax effects will come back when they're removed in a form that is harder for most colors to deal with

Dual type creatures are the weakest in magic because they're vulnerable to two types of removal. Not only that, only two colours can meaningfully interact with enchantments; every colour can deal with creatures.

I don't get why Wheels and Chaos are separate, isn't Wheels a form of chaos?
>>
>>94822799
No. Practically speaking the point of wheeling is basically to make your opponent discard their hand and draw nothing.
If you play at tables where wheel is just "everyone draw a new hand!" then you're playing with someone who hasn't discovered that they can synergize it with shit that prevents opponents from drawing.

Chaos is replacing permanents and spells with something at random.

you can play combat in stax, nu-Zur makes it possible.
stop with your hexproof rage-boner, even if you draw your fancy land, you are still not tapping it for mana and spend mana to remove the 'proof, esentially downgrading Hexproof to Ward 2.
Since we apparently already entered mental magic christmas land: you are in Azorius and should have plenty of answers to go with your Stax plan, even if you are facing absolute bone chillers like
>Aetherize
>Cyclonic Rift
just counter the goddamn removal spell
if you always have it, i too always have it, but much more likely than your handful of hexproof-hate

also, great list of enchantments you got there, wouldnt it be great if they could be turned into creatures, so they can do so much more than just sitting there? if only there was a commander for that...
you just want to stay in your stax cuckshed and turtle all game doing nothing, we get it

>>94822740

>you can play combat in stax, nu-Zur makes it possible.
You gain nothing from trying to do so. You can literally make combat impossible with stax.
>stop with your hexproof rage-boner, even if you draw your fancy land, you are still not tapping it for mana and spend mana to remove the 'proof, esentially downgrading Hexproof to Ward 2.
Oh no, a minor drawback? In return for being able to use creature removal on your annoying stax? How will I ever recover?
>if you always have it, i too always have it,
The point isn't that I "always have it" the point is creature removal is the most common removal in the fucking game and you inexplicably made stax pieces vulnerable to it for absolutely no benefit.
>wouldnt it be great if they could be turned into creatures, so they can do so much more than just sitting there?
Man you have no idea how enchantress works at all.

>redditor is retarded
Tale as old as time.
>“chaos” in mtg means that you can’t tell the outcome of an action based on the input.
Simultaneously too narrow and too wide. For the former, it excludes anything that can be reliably scryed, like Wheel effects. For the latter, it includes such things as leaving untapped lands for counterspells, which even retards could point out is firmly outside of chaos. Sadly we’re dealing with a redditard so standards are even lower than that. Chaos is simply random shit. Who’s gonna foot the bill of Mages Contest, and will the spell be countered or not? How is Warp World going to alter the board state? Is Chaos Warp going to bring out a weaker or stronger monster? It’s these cards that pose the question “how’s it going to turn out?” that make up chaos.
>This is where chaos starts to blur into stax—which is why some people don’t like to play against it—though personally I think counterplaying to chaos is loads more fun than counterplaying to stax control.
Again, redditard fails to understand differentiation, mixing up three seperate deck types instead of just two. Control is the usage of resource gain & interaction to win through counterplay and advantage. Stax uses cards to restrict the opponent moves through punishment, lockdown, and/or tax. Chaos simply fucks with the cards on board at random in order to take advantage of the confusion and adapt better than their opponents. They are nothing alike and, once again, leddit proves itself to be a shitstain on humanity
>>
>>94823127
Zur is definitely fun, he's just a retard because his pet theme is stax but he also likes nu-zur, he won't listen to why the two don't go together
>>
>>94823146
>chaos is simply random shit
Like... hm something you couldn't predict the outcome of?
>other stuff
Hes not conflating anything but these themes are compatible and can very easily overlap. Stop trying so hard
>>
>>94822909
It’s even better than goaded. It provides no value outside of attacking another opponent, meaning that attacking another player that isn’t you is a conscious & encouraged decision. This then increases animosity amongst your opponent’s, and thus has political value

Original Zur poster here. I posted the question and then you argued with some other anon while I ate dinner and did chores. And I agree with the other guy. Hexproof is good. "Dies to removal" is a bad argument. And did it ever occur to you that the Zur player could simply choose not to animate the most important enchantments? Anyway, the main reason I wanted new Zur is because he's a nerfed Opalescence in the CZ and I want to use the Out of Time trick and Parallax Wave exile.
>>
>>94823310
>"Dies to removal" is a bad argument.
Good thing that isn't the argument then.
The argument is "you're making your stax more vulnerable fore literally nothing"
>And did it ever occur to you that the Zur player could simply choose not to animate the most important enchantments?
If you're playing stax you are the arch-enemy. You do not have less important and more important enchantments, all of your shit is annoying as hell and will be a priority for removal.
If you just want to protect your shitty stax, play Greater Auramancy.
>he's a nerfed Opalescence in the CZ
You can tutor for Starfield of Nyx
The benefit of being in the command zone is completely outweighed by costing 2 mana for each enchant.
>>
>>94823182
>Like... hm something you couldn't predict the outcome of?
Which is not a good definition because that includes leaving lands untapped for counterspells, among others. Your description is still refuted
>Hes not conflating anything but these themes are compatible and can very easily overlap.
They are still clearly and categorically different, and thus do not “blur into” each other, ergo he is conflating
>Stop trying so hard
Stop being so retarded
>>
>>94823384
>will be a priority for removal.
nta but doesn't nu zur help with this? somebody uses enchantment removal like tear asunder on an expensive stax piece and you animate whatever they're targeting into a creature and it fizzles thanks to hexproof from zur
>>
>>94823540
Most stax pieces arent expensive, and in a good stax deck you want people to use removal on them so they cant stop your wincons. Turning it into a hexproof creature is a downside 99% because it becomes subject to a much larger pool of removal than just enchantment hate, even if it cant be targeted.
>>
Why would you make new zur a stax deck, when you could easily make it a polymorph deck?
>>
>>94823540
As soon as people realize you're doing that, Zur is never going to live a rotation again.
>>
Uh has the Zur staxfag who keeps talking about how good hexproof is realized that while the enchantments BECOME creatures (so therefore remain creatures), the hexproof is attached to Zur and as soon as he's gone everything dies to creature removal?
>>
>>94823673
Shhhh. You cant use logic with such a poster. Same reason he couldnt just build the deck and show off how good it is.
