>>96476150>gay bolasOp u fucked up
What custom basics have you proxied?
>tqwarp and station are cool mechanics that are fun to play withthe set's flavour is so utterly generic it's kind of amazing in its own way.
>>96476150>TQI'm a huge sucker for the sci-fi angle, but I wish they had more Sliver/Eldrazi stuff in them to fit the alien theme. I'm beyond butthurt they both only got a single new card.>What cards from it did you add to your decks?Anti-Casual for Eldrazi, the hivepool for Slivers, and Tannuk as a red/artifact commander. Stacking a deck up with shittons of giant golems and having Tannuk cheat them out is hilarious.
>play thallia heretic cathar on turn 3>random playing 5c space station scoops scoops next turn after i remind him that his fetch came in tappedHow did your last game go anons?
>>96476195does writing snow on basics count
I love my new self-mill Eldrazi-skeleton-summoning waifu.Syr Vondam is very cool, too.
vren + rhystic study + removalis that my whole deck
>>96476248>no abilitiesSo basically everything she summons is a big swing stick?
Edge of Eternities was 3 years ago, this is the Lorwyn spoiler waiting room
>>96476268That's the idea. And a Corpses Of The Lost for skele-haste
>>96476248you talm about stank Syr Sir that didnt make it into my prerelease deck? Just seems like the small mans Ketramose
>>96476248Running all the entomb cards seems like a no brainer, yeah? I've never touched self-mill but I can't see you being able to dump enough cards in monoblack to find big fatties fast enough to use it
>>96476296there is plenty of self mill in mono black. you also have the option to unleash the horrors of discard on your pod
>>96476268until you blink it, then you just get the entire critter
>>96476268it'd be a shame if there was a1 mana 13/13 in your graveyard
>>96476303>unleash the horrors of discard on your podSelf-discard, maybe. There are certain types of effects I'll never touch, discard is one of them, because I hate to be *that guy* that makes the game extremely unfun for everyone else
>>96476312>I hate to be *that guy*Look at this dude not running a GAAIV deck with bullshit like Rhystic, Tithe, Propaganda, and so on with a shitton of Persistent Petitioners.
>>96476150>EOEI'll let you know once it rotates out of standardI'll say this, having just gained access to brothers war snd co im pretty meh on future product
>>96476150>EoEI like it>FlavorI was skeptical of the concept but EoE delivered>MechanicsDoes a good job of feeling like "vast space" and the limited format is cool so far.>Cards to decksVery nice of them to print Consult the Star Charts to fly right the fuck into my Verazol deck. I'm eyeing a handful of others
>>96476351Dude bro is sick ur dumb
>>96476350>with a shitton of Persistent PetitionersThis is funny because I have a Socrates deck with 36 of them. I'm fine with mill, but I don't run any of that other stuff
>playtested deck two times, has 37 lands>nothing but no landers, or just 1 or 2>had to to mull to 5, twice>sitting here, shuffling my deck, test drawing>throw in the occasional pile shuffle in there>extremly consistenly just 1 land in handwhat the actual fuck is this shit
>>96476384>37 landsFound the problem.
>>96476381GAAIV (with a bunch of annoying stax) lets you relentlessly shit them out. You can also run Bruvac as your commander to have them mill 24 at a time too.
>>96476392the moment i add in 5 more i will have nothing but 7 landers
>>96476150>Gay BolasOp ur a hero
>>96476384Cut two cards for dfc lands and if that doesn't help then God hates you
>>96476248Holy based
>>96476268You scam them back to get abilities turned on.
>can't find this sexy print of Universes Within Euron Greyjoy anywhere convenientWhy must I specifically be punished?
>>96476195
this card isn't even good but I feel like commanderfags will get mad at me for playing it against them
>>96476603What the actual fuck is that art.
Name a more pushed tribe than dragons.
>>96476615Dinosaurs.
>>96476603>vehiclesYou may as well be playing Elk tribal
>>96476609She cute
>>96476603I tried to play this and it was awful, although FF added another "fixed" smuggler's copter maybe I should try again
why is there no WBG vehicles commander... I want lumbering worldwagon and greasefang in the same deck
>>96476624Very close second
Slivers. Just not pushed recently.
>>96476624only correct answer, wasn't even a ral tribe until a few years ago and look at all the stuff they have
>>96476150>tqI really like EoE, i like the spacecrafts, the flavor and mechanics. It's hard to believe is made by the same team who made Aetherdrift, also this set really would benefit having another block but whatever, jotc etc,etcI brought both commander decks, i like them.
>>96476609It's her showcase art>>96476625to be fair I'd be running it as reanimator with actual busted shit like entomb
>>96476587>Why must I specifically be punished?For being European. Sorry Anon, I don't make the rules
>>96476669>obviously AIjesus christ people just can't help themselves
>Umm I guess I'll bring back my Parhelion 2 from the graveyard and attack you for 13 since you are tapped out after playing your second landHow do >you respond without sounding mad
>>96476150>TQadded a bunch of cards from it into my xenagos deck for the landfall subtheme and wasn't disappointed.
>>96476150>TQ: How do you feel about Edge of Eternities? Flavor? Mechanics? What cards from it did you add to your decks?I think a space theme is alright. I did like the Mirrodon kind of futuristic shit, same with the Alara block, but the art overall has taken a huge slide since then, and I don't know much about it. I don't think I have any cards from it.
>>96476195>because some of her art has this funny optical illusion which looks like a crease
>>96476716Wow that's so cool your deck got to do it's thingNow mine gets to do it's thing!
I love this little nigga like you wouldn't believe. He single handedly won me the game tonight in my pod with my Gisela deck.>turn two he comes down>get the Darksteel Equipment on him>he now never dies through several boardwipes, one from me>throw down two different swords to be able to attack anyone with impunity>True Conviction comes down>World at War gets a rebound>Gisela out for one turn (figures)Took everyone out turns 9,10,11. Vigilance is just the best.
>>96476716you dont, had an early godhand with Parhelion 2 out early on turn 3 or 4, and a friend had a total crashout resulting in insta scooping - which of course meant the other players had to scoop too.with an early Parhelion, you are still 3 entire turns/combats away of killing the first out of 3 opponents, there is plenty of time to at least try to figure something out. The kicker is: there are Voltrons in our playgroup that take out a player, and the whole table even, quicker. one of which is even in the roster of the one that had the meltie
>>96476776Based and craw. I salute you, anon
>>96476716>"You look like you fuck human men"
>>96476756anon... when Greasfang is out and able to recurr Parhelion, there is no need for lands on that side of the board
>>96476826Really? Cause from here it looks like its in hand not grave
How do your rule 0 conversations go? Do you just say bracket and end it there?
>>96476842It creates 2 4/4 angels that remain in play.
>>96476842thats where discard outlets step in
>>96476716Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *flicks cards* ummmmmmmmmmmm *checks hand* yeah that resolves... no wait.... no nevermind it still resolves
>>96476858I just say my decks a 7
>>96476858"I made this deck to use when I play with people for the first time"
>>96476858I typically say it's a bracket something .5 to be more specific. I'll talk about game changer amount, and things like infinite combo amounts stuff like that. I won't tell anyone what my deck does or how it wins. That's for them to find out.
>>96476870I hate players who constantly and loudly flick their cards. No etiquette.
>>96476615Zombies. >>96476624>>96476651>>96476664Dinosaurs are strong because they got a post FIRE set dedicated to them and a handful of good cards since then in other sets. If Dinosaurs are pushed then so are Insects and pirates because they got some recent sets and post-2020 cards too. Zombies meanwhile have always been over supported and they continually get new cards ensuring they've remained relevant as power creep ratchets up.
>>96476862Not a threat
Surely this has been discussed already, yeah??? Have any "pay life" outlet out to get to 0 life or less, flicker Mr Negative, another player dies
>>96476981Treasonous ogre?This card is the first time im genuinely tempted by ubWhat a shame
Zoomers man...
>>96477036It's really wild how early cards are stuff like this, and meanwhile modern cards have ultra tiny font with 3 paragraphs.
>>96477077to be fair, you can only do so much with simple cards after decades releasesat some point complexity creep is all but guaranteed to happen just because they ran out of simple stuff to do
built mono blue urza cause I hate having friends
>>96477165good morning anon nice to have you
>>96477177Has Toskianon ever said why he's posting in every thread? Idgi
>>96476923Everything you said about zombies also applies to dragons, but with the added caveat that dragons have a million legends with novella rule texts.
>>96477223Ritualposters don't follow such trivial things like "logic"
>>96477223he was saying "I'm putting toski and other staples in my deck it makes it do fun things" or something like that before just posting the imageI thought it was a statement against other people saying stuff like "staples suck and make all decks play the same"there used to be someone with a message here, now we just hang his portrait up
>>96477269>we
>>96477252>>96477269Ritualfags strike me as the type who got bullied in high school and never got over it.
>>96476295This guy was in my prerelease deck and he underperformed and sucked. Very underwhelming.>TQAll the green landfall shit is pretty good. Icetill and especially Horizon Explorer are MVPs in Tifa and Famished Worldsire is a nuke. Frenzied Baloth is also a nice word salad utility beatstick for only GG. The other colors and space stations have been pretty underwhelming but I really like Weapons Mnufacturing and am thinking of building a Sivriss/Street Urchin deck with it soon.As for the flavor, they could have done better but overall I liked it.
>>96477036I'm an elder millenial, but I'm building a deck around her.
>>96477318
What's your highest average mana cost deck?>4.3>Teneb
Does anyone remember this elf from Duels of the planewalkeds 2013? I want to build a fun Yeva, Nature’s Herald deck that’s cheap. I don’t want to use craterhoof or some giga busted dinosaur or super power crept cards. I want stuff Uktabi orangutan or Indrik stomphowler, eternal witness etc. Does anyone who pilots this girl have suggestions or pointers? I think I can make it very cheap for around $50 since I won’t be running green suns zenith or survival of the fittest or other really strong green “staples.” The mana base might just be 34!forests and some mana elves Also is it possible to make a cute frog tribal deck, or ANY tribal deck outside the big tribes (goblins, dragons, zombies, soldiers, etc)? I think bloomburrow has some neat tribal interaction but there doesn’t seem to be any place where I can engage with it anymore.
>>96477417I should also mention that since CHB won’t be my finisher, I’ll run cheaper substitutes like overrun or overwhelming stampede or Garruk
>>96477417>cute frog tribal decknah we only got big ugly frogs here
>>96477385David Dastmalchian?
>>96477443yes
I like this artThat is all
>>96476195If you play proxies I will not recognize them and will ignore them. If you complain I will tear up your proxies and tell you to blow it out your ass.
>>96477456I have a response.
Neat
I like this card
>>96477473I miss when the bottom said the number of cards in the set
>>96477473How many other art references/tributes are there? This is neat as hell
>>96477452>only a silhouetteUnsure if this is cowardice or Hasbro trying to sell me the OG misery porn with an alt. art premium
>>96477497It's an artistic choice and the primary reason I like the art. If it wasn't that then I wouldn't like it much
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>96477501It's ok, you're allowed to be wrong. I like it too but want the gut-punch aftermath monologue immortalised in a card, too
>>96477385>>96477318why are you posting his face
>>96477385good job losing weight swordfag, proud of you
>>96477452Seinkiewicz is great. I hope he has art on a legendary and not just sagas.
Brand new, bought a precon and heading to lgs for the first time. I'm fine with chatting to new people but how do I lessen the awkwardness of having to ask for a game?The current plan was just to approach a group and ask if they need a 4th but I don't know what to do if I get rejected, just sit on my phone alone? What if there's a group already playing and nobody else around? I'm probably stressing out about this way too much
Does Omega, Heartless Evolution heal X for each opponent, or only once?
Who wins in a 1v1?Gay Bolas anon or Swordbro?
>>96476923How are zombies good? Genuinely don't know as I haven't seen them in a bit. All I know they can do is dump out some tokens and get some basic antheming. What shenanigans are they capable of?
>>96477659what? legitimately use your mental energy on anything else. > you guys looking for a fourth?>we have someone coming>kk >chill and wait or leaveHow old are you? I'm being serious, no one gives a shit.
>>96477696What you described was basically my plan I just wanted some advice on making it less awkward to sit around on my phone while waiting for someone else to show up.
>>96477497The alt art is significantly worse.
>>96477662>Put X stun counters on each of those permanents and you gain X lifeyou only gain X. if you were meant to gain X for each targeted creature, it would be "for each of those permanents, put X stun counters on it and gain X life"
This is the most underpowered set of the past decade
>>96477746Good? Power creep ruins the game.
>>96477752You have to ban all sets before Spider-Man for that to matter. Releasing sets that are garbage will just result in people not using those sets. Standard is not going to suddenly be depowered from this shit set. It's just not going to use cards from it and Vivi will continue to rule.
>>96477731Zoomers
>>96477696Dumb post. Don't respond next time.
>hate multiverse shit>hate comic shit>hate miles morales and all non peter parker spidermen>sealed>what kind of deck did you go? I went golgari spiderman, and he went azorious spiderman, then I went green spidermanWhy can't US comics just have one storyline and be done with it. it's just constant rehashing.
>>96477758They should instead just continue releasing lower power sets and let other things cycle out of use so the game can go back to some semblance of normal.
>>96477468I can't argue with that.
>>96477662Only the amount of differently named lands. If you flicker him or copy him you get enough life to make chewing through really annoying for your opponents but it's not the main point of the effect.
>>96477746Yeah, most cards are really, really bad. Threre's some decent ones here and there but overall they really pulled their punches on this one
>>96477789>Rotate outThis is the edh thread
>>96477810Is that flippin Universes beyond?!?!?!?!??!?!//
>>96477789Anon that's not financially plausible. Releasing ONE underpowered set after an OP set (Masques, OG Kamigawa) is already financially disastrous. It's suicidal to intentionally release duds for over two years in a row because you're both causing the meta to stagnate AND not moving any cards off the shelf in that time.This is literally why Type 2 ended up failing at the goal it set out to accomplish. Sure you're no longer competing against the design mistakes from the start of the game's lifespan anymore, but you're still perpetually competing against the strongest cards from the last set.
>>96477831yeah, i think that weird monk guy is one of those Avatar cards, dunno how bro got his hand on it before release, though.
>>96477659>>96477696
>>96477805Who mentioned standard? Wasn't me, it was the guy I was responding to.
>>96477542
>>96477783>Why can't US comics just have one storyline and be done with it. it's just constant rehashing.Why can't TCGs just have one release and be done with it. it's just constant rehashing
Just realized that if you cast a permanent spell from exile this puts two +1/+1 counters on your entire board. Seems pretty damn good. Still wish they'd print a jund legend that cares about casting from exile though
>>96477925why can't JP manga just have one storyline and be done with it. it's either cancelled in the middle or does so well they need it to rehash the same plot for 30 years.
>>96477938Jesus christ as if flicker decks need another busted as fuck strategy. GodDAMN
>>96477783Western comics, specifically cape comics, are more like fanfiction. They're fan interpretations of old characters whose creators have passed on.
>>96477938Nah, not quite.When you cast a spell, you put it on the stack, which is a separate zone.So the permanent card you cast from exile would be entering from the stack, rather than from exile.It's also better with flicker than with casting exiled, since when you flicker the creature entering will also get a counter, but when you cast something from exile only the things already on the board will get counters.
>Vigilance, lifelink>When Mr. Negative enters, you may exchange your life total with target opponent. If you lose life this way, draw that many cards.Neat effect. But the absurd mana cost makes him feel like the face card for a starter deck from 2012
>>96477938Thieves' Auction.That is all.
>>96477925What's this Reddit-tier response? Anon's complaining about rehashes, not continuations. If you want to bitch about shit like Jumpstart, sure, but who is going to argue against you on that?
>>96477997You lost.
>>96478003>Faggot tries to coopt /pol/ meme>Doesn't even do it right
>>96477997People like character. Writers write stories with character. Eventually too many stories. Character splits or timeline resets because people still like character. Its not confusing. People like the property, so they continue making it.
>>96478007>Character splits or timeline resets because people still like characterYou just defeated your own argument.
>>96478005>/pol/ memeHuh?
>>96478011Don't think I did as the character is still being put in stories that people still enjoy. Youre arguing against reality.
>>96478013>Don't think I didOf course you didn't, you're retarded.You're saying that people like a character, so they're going to like the character's development getting erased or otherwise characters that aren't said character. It's stupid - you're talking about Spider-Man as if anyone likes OMD or that people are reading the spinoff characters. They're not - people like Peter Parker. They like iterations of his story. Nobody gives a crap about the Amazing Wheelchair Bitch or whatever.
>>96478026>why do so many stories be made>because people like the character!>waaaaahhAgain, there is no argument. Comics are the way they are because people like the characters. It doesnt have to make sense to your autismo brain
>>96477663GBA solos everything.
>>96477417Vedalken orrery and Vivien, champion of the wilds can serve as redundancies for Yeva. Temur sabertooth will be an all star for reusing ETB effects and retriggering creature based draw effects like soul of the harvest and elemental bond. While using ETB creatures like instant speed spells will be the main gimmick it still helps to have some mana sinks (Kamahl, Nemata, and ant queen were some options I used before) or a way to bank mana like with Omnath.
