>>96535353sol ring, energy drain, fierce guardianship, propaganda, command tower, exotic orchard, path of ancestry, chromatic lantern
>>96535353TQ: pithing needle and ratchet bomb.Get pithed, dumbass.
>>96535399>fierce guardianshipBoo this man
For me, a pet card is a card that you don't often see in other decks, if at all, but which you personally like and play.For me it's pic related.
>>96535405They never expect it in upgraded precons or meme decks. I usually win by playing politics or being a backstabbing rat and people don't perceive a major threat from me and tend to underestimate what I have until I get them
I hate Timmies so much
>>96535353>TQ: What are your biggest pet cards or things you run in everything?I will always try to get a platinum angel into my deck along with a rogue's passage
>>96535353>TQancient tomb into chalice on 1 is probably my favourite turn 1 play
>>96535353>TQ: What are your biggest pet cards or things you run in everything?Sensei's Divining Top. I think it's the best card in the format.>turn 1 Sol Ring into Top is the best
>TQthis hard working mani even run him in my Rakdos Sacrifice/Fling deck. I have a Yavimaya in there to turn him on, and run some tutors specifically to find these two and make it happen
>>96535524forgor the man
>>96535451Every time I get a platinum angel out it instantly eats removal.>TQ Lightning bolt
>>96535353>TQCopies of Akroma's Memorial and Warping Wail are in every single deck I own.
>>96535546>Every time I get a platinum angel out it instantly eats removal.You gotta save it for the last opponent with protection to back it upthat's where it really shines, in the final showdownI also very much enjoy playing decks that will have 15+ cards in hand and mucho counterspells so that does help
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>96535624maybe for little commandersbut not CUMMANDER
>>96535438Imagine hating this>a kid goes into a game store. Let’s just call him… 'Timmy.' Now, Timmy doesn’t have a lot of money. So, he buys one pack of Tempest. He rips it open and starts tearing through the cards to find the rare. And then he sees it. It’s a big green creature. Seven power. Seven toughness. It’s huge. Huge! He’s eyes keep moving. He glances up at the casting cost: 5 ManaGreen ManaGreen ManaGreen Mana, blah, blah, blah. Boring. Move on. Timmy looks at the rules text. There’s a bunch of words. Timmy reads. Every turn Timmy gets another creature. Another entire creature. It’s small, but in ten turns, he’ll have twenty creatures. A 7/7 creature with twenty 1/1s. How does his opponent stop that? It can’t be stopped! Timmy finally exhales. He has found the Holy Grail.”
>>96535438what's wrong with big mana cards and people having fun? what if they have good mana ramp or a way to put them on the field and counterspells/blink to keep them alive?
>>96535639Tendershoot Dryad made this guy irrelevant. Timmies are based though
whats a good commander for a pirate tribal deck to sail the seven seas with?
>>96535694do you want black, or do you just want red/blue?
>>96535708partial to blue/red to use the funni spells like share the spoil, but whatever commander you think is fun
>>96535524>>96535529You can't run him in a BR deck. He explicitly adds Red or Green mana, thus RG identity.
>>96535694>>96535708lol
>>96535723Wew
>>96535723Even before they added the rule that you can produce any mana in any deck (dumb), it didnt make this card rg, it just produced colorless if you picked green in a non-green deck.
>>96535765the current text has green mana symbols, doesn't that make it RG color identity?
> mfw its commander night tonight
>>96535675>play Bahamut>flip Terra>put 3 extra counters on the 2nd Bahamut>play Rootborn Defenses in instant speed for a 3rd Bahamut>Instantly kill everyoneThe true MVP is Mirari's Wake for giving me more mana than I would ever need. Being a Timmy is fun
You can quickly identify retards when they dont understand that cards in deck is useless. The local 'tard is always complaining he cant win cause too many good cards in his deck got milled or something. Its like bruh I know you arent running combos and if you were, youd fetch them from the yard.
>>96535679I still love my Verdant Force/Embracemore tokens, more
>>96535432Always hated how these said hand lemme cast my commander dang
>>96535802I got Bahamut out once but he just got nuked right before turn 4 but I've had a lot of fun with Odin. I threw down a Hraesvelgr on the second turn of the saga which made him unblockable and just KO'd the guy who was in the lead and cackling about his cancer ass Glarb deck. The funny thing was that I read Odin's description out twice and nobody seemed to care
>>96535765It was never legal in a deck without green as the card has red and green mana symbols on it.
>>96535790Me too!
>>96535353>TQi love any card with effects like this and will always run root maze, kismet, the other thalia or frozen aether if i can
>>96535829>Make someone discard 5 cards>Crickets>Mill 10>They freak out
>>96535907Who are you playing with that discards 5 and says nothing id like to meet them
>>96535907discard is one of the few archetypes more hated than mill though
discard is honest and rogueit's black's premiere form of removal for enchantment and artifacts, don't hate it
>>96535954i wish tergrid wasnt the best discard commander im still disappointed by how lame tourach was as well...
>>96535993I have them together (he's in the 99), they are friends :)Raven Man can join the party too
u mad?
>>96536003No, because those cards are in my deck too
>>96536003Yes, because - even though those cards are in my deck too - you're not allowed to use them against me.
>>96536003no because im flashing in my own aven interrupter in response to stop it
>>96535353>TQ: What are your biggest pet cards or things you run in everything?I will run this card in every red deck, its too fun to not
>>96536153>topdecks a land 5 times in the same game
