>Build picrel because a lot of people here kept saying it was the best beatdown commander, but I didn't believe it and just wanted to have a kind of "Pain Train" deck idea where he'd just go around the table slapping people

>Game 1: Gave him a Swiftfoot Boots, and literally nobody had an answer. He cleaved every single player until it was me and 1 other player, and I just used burn spells to snap their few bodies they used as blockers.
>Game 2: Gave him Sword of War and Peace and a Goldvein Pick, and now not only is he going around the table slapping everybody mercilessly, but he's also making me treasures if he tramples through just enough to get 1 damage on someone's face AND inflicting extra burn and giving me life per person hit, another comically easy win
>Game 3: Every single person at the table was basically keeping up removal spells and countermagic just to make sure he couldn't stay on the ground for long. Cast him two times, and both times he was snapped instantly. Felt a bit crestfallen until I just kinda made an equipment pile on the ground and started swinging with things like Gilgamesh and Raubahn just to get a few hits in, and when the time came, I just so happened to see everybody tapped out, had just enough mana to cast Alexios, and to slide a Whispersilk Cloak onto him, and once again, he tore the entire table apart
>Game 4: T1 Mountain->Sol Ring, T2 Mountain->Alexios, and he got killed by swinging into a creature with deathtouch, but on recast (like seven turns later) once again, everybody gassed out dealing with threats, and this unga bunga was allowed to just beat the bricks off of every other player

I am genuinely shocked at this card's performance and how unbelievably little it takes to get it going. If it had /any/ other color, I would argue it'd be banworthy, but even in mono-R it's fucking ridiculous.

>>uninterruptible removal, uninterruptible casting of wincons, value even when hes removed
It sounds like you're trying to do as he says, make an unfun deck based on the inherent high power level of the commander.

If you were really just trying to make some retarded jank based on any of the Sonic cast, you could have picked the blue blur himself or Eggman, but you're deliberately picking Shadow because he's high-power and trying to cope with "I-I-I just want it to be a le funny Sonic character! XD" posthumorously. It's a pussybitch way of saying you want to make a pubstomp deck, and honestly a lot of people here would probably be more onboard if you were upfront about that from the start, but instead you just look like an insecure faggot.
>>
>>96668848
Like every commander deck, the (most) stringent thing on whether a commander is strong is how much money you drop on it.
Certainly a kill on sight commander. Are there more degenerate ones? Yes. Can you build him in a jank way? Sure.
He's obviously made to be a degenerate enabler. If you want him to be less so, just spend less money.
>>
>>96668973
I am a pig, I eat slop, and I have a bracket 4.5 shadow deck that doesnt play him until I'm ready to combo after making a ton of mana with rituals and treasures.
Then, professor onyx + chain of smog time. Everyone hates me but I just have the radical highway song stuck in my head as I keep wiping the board and playing light stax until I get to my combo.

Deck is entirely tutors, rituals, mass removal, stax, draw/wheeling. It's genuinely awful to play against and very fun to play. Everyone else at the lgs I dont go to often sucks too so I play it there and basically grief

I would rather see literally any level of UB garbage and meme secret lairs on the other side of the table than a single Unfinity card
Unsets are supposed to satirize Magic, its mechanics and its lore and its community
Unfinity eschewed all of that for the most corporatized, meandering dogshit fathomable, with an AIslop-tier aesthetic direction and "jokes" that are probably a riot if you're a mid-40s white woman who thinks Bob's Burgers is the pinnacle of human wit
Not only that but they had the UTTER FUCKING GALL to make a huge chunk of the set black-bordered to try to foist them upon actual formats, apparently not content to keep the indignity opt-in
Even fucking MH3 had better unset-style humor than Unfinity
>>
>>96669394
Yeah I've already settled on Jetmir, even though I wanted to have a little more lesser known Commander that helped creature tokens. I just wish WOTC weren't such massive faggots that constantly abandoned fair/balanced designs for fucking years at a time (or forever) so they can keep remaking the same boring oversaturated designs over and over and over and over and OVER again.

Agreed, you don't have to play Jetmir if you feel that way, I encourage that. It sucks that they make these general purpose commanders that let you just make a value pile and still crush. It has killed creativity in deckbuilding almost as much as edhrec has. That's why they said they banned Golos so they've admitted that kind of commander is an issue.

I wish they would print more land destruction for people like you that need a taste of real griefing. Interacting with your board is not griefing. You're probably just a RDWfag who gets every control player to 4 life, get hit by a boardwipe, then slowly die over the next ten minutes because you top deck mice that I just use spot removal on.

Stompy. Weenies. Tokens. Voltron. Any deck that relies on forcing other players to have to make strategic choices about whether to block and what to block is pure sovl. Faggy decks where each turn is just sitting in the cuckshed resolving triggers and activating abilities and sitting on mana is fucking garbage.

We need way more aggressively costed forced combat cards.

Hello everybody, I know this has been ask before
But where do I find Lewd edits of MTG Artwork for Proxys?
I tried Pinterest, but it is kind of difficult to sort by card there and some of the Artwork is just rubbish
I also found a couple sellers on etsy, but
- It´s all just AI slop
- I can´t say anything about quality
- prices are abhorrent

My next Question would be, which Decktype would you think can fit the most lewd edits?
My first thought would be Atraxa Planes walkers because maybe all the Planeswalkers probably have the most edits available
My second guess would be something like an Angel Tribal or Dragon Tribal
What do you think?

Wizard token spam is best in rakdos and I will die on this hill. I frequently pubstomp unintentionally with this deck even when everyone declares they are playing 3/7's. It's a modified version of a standard deck I run in MTG Arena that's gone diamond multiple times.

Japanese tournament cedh meta is based on a strange points system the rest of the world doesn't use. Outside of Japan the meta is etali, Magda, 4 color partner piles or turbo grixis piles, with yapping and excessive politicking and playing to draw are the main points of the game. YouTube mino celebrities are the best yappers because the nerds they play in tournaments fold and obey whatever yapping bullshit the YouTubers tell them.

I have honestly considered presenting the idea of a timer during turns at this point in my pod. We can barely do 3 games in a 5 hour period and it mostly has to do with people taking ultra long turns. And not even turns where shit is happening. Just "I dunno what to do..." for 10-15 minutes. No one needs 10 to 15 fucking minutes to make a god damn move. It would be one thing if the long games were caused by gamestates and cards but it is literally just people sitting there doing nothing because they're worried they missed a move they could make.
>>
>>96671077
Here is my suggestion:

1 minute turns to start, with an additional minute for every turn after the first one, up to 5 minutes per turn.
>>
>>96671077
Do you play with people who have 10+ different decks or are they just slow on the same decks week after week?

They're all spineless nerds, the cedh meta is who has the most charisma and is the biggest sociopath
>>
>>96670992
But it's thematic for Kefka being an annoying fucking clown and you are playing the greatest FF villain so being the table villain is on theme. I think any Discard commander is going to draw aggro like that, Kefka just also lets you discard a card of your own and card draw a bunch which puts him a step above the rest and enables you to put stuff into your own graveyard more easily for reanimation. The flip side is really good albeit it costs a fuckton of mana
>>
>>96671125
Yeah, but you're just going to make people not want to play against your deck. You have to keep in mind that you're still playing with other people, dude. I have seen like 6 different Kefka decks at this point against me, and every single time they get hated off the board for being obnoxious and boring to play against.

I always feel bad when I take a long time on my turns. My Hearthull deck takes a long time to play because of the constant fetchland recursions, plus a lot of cards being exiled to things like Valakut Exploration. Its not a landfall deck with dozens of triggers occuring each turn that mindlessly go off - it requires you to think somewhat carefully about things, but i can often feel my opponents frustration during my turn after they've just played out a land, or a single spell and passed.

I am on overnight shifts at my job the next two nights and would like to watch this 12 hour epic in its entirety. Where can I find it in full? Didn't it end because a guy literally needed to leave the country? If they didn't agree to a draw he would miss his flight home, or something.

Is it really not that simple? We have one guy in our group who notoriously will wind up taking 6+ minute turns every single rotation and come to extremely basic conclusions. I can't tell if he's literally not paying attention during the rest of the turn cycle or if he's re-adjusting his entire plan at the start of every single player's action, but there's no reason why you should need 10+ minutes of thought for about 16 seconds of execution.

Of course, that always matters. I wouldn't expect someone to pull out Kefka if everyone is playing weird jank decks, since he is just way too strong to use unless everyone else in the group is playing strong decks too.

He does work extremely well in the Archenemy format for EDH though, my friends and I made some decks for that, Final Fantasy heroes vs Final Fantasy villains. I personally have made Cecil and Golbez decks for it.

As somebody who is relatively new to this format, I still can't get used to the fact that disrupting somebody's gameplan (be that through MLD, or just simple targeted removal or counter magic) is enough to immensely piss people off and accuse you of not letting them play the game. Just sit at home and goldfish your deck if.you're not willing to actually interact with your opponents. I swear that so many retards at my LGS simply want to interact with their opponents exclusively through combat, just so they can show how "cool" their deck can be. I am used to sitting down against an opponent, sometimes I win and sometimes I lose but I am there with the intention of stopping my opponent from winning and there aren't any hard feelings about that fact in and of itself.
>>
>>96671318
in my experience people are bad at threat assessment and as the green player sits there cackling and doing nothing besides ramping their mana up like crazy everyone else is busy killing each other for actually having threats on the board and then all of a sudden green vomits out some cancer big creatures or some really obnoxious big play that wins the game. and somehow I'm always the villain for pointing this out and trying to kill them and I get stabbed in the back after swinging at them

i have a player you literally can't play stax effects against, he'll spend his entire turn complaining how much it slows him down and on everyone else's turn asking if they have removal for the stax piece

The term I've heard is that "People don't like you taking away their fidget spinner", and when they have this gameplan in mind from "testing" their deck over and over again, any person who is interrupting it will break the fantasy of them making these godmode broken 10/10 "awesome" decks. People who routinely play with one another, especially if it's your friends, will recognize that you need to build a deck that needs more than one leg to stand on (it's a 100-card deck after all) or it makes you extremely vulnerable to any responses. People who make a new deck and haven't had it stress-tested or have experience having their decks stress-tested usually get surprised when something very simple can murder the entire point of the deck (like a Rest in Peace just butchering reanimator decks), but more experienced players will learn that these are considerations to make when actually building the deck.

It's honestly more often than not just a neophyte thing. You're new to the format, but not MTG in general (I presume), so constant interaction is part of your understanding. Many, many players partake in this game first and foremost through EDH, and as a consequence, they aren't used to removal or counterspells yet because they are barely used to learning card syntax or other common terms yet.

Theater kid redditors who hate competition and entering EDH destroyed the format. They see EDH as a form of self expression to show off what special and creative snowflakes they are. Their goal isn't to win and they get mad at people who play they game properly and disrupt their performance.
>>
>>96671452
But also people can only express themselves if expressing themselves involves slamming down 18/18 green fatties to turn sideways. If you want to express yourself through, like, control then you can suck a cock.
>>
>>96671452
>Their goal isn't to win
Their goal is quite literally just to win. In fact that's precisely why they get pissy. They are upset that you're getting in the way of this idea of a deck they put into their heads would be a surefire "Winner" if they are just allowed to go through the six steps needed to kill the table uninterrupted. This is also why a lot of annoying crying faggots are the first to scoop and leave the LGS in a rage when you kill their commander one time. They thought they were going to show up, get the free-est wins imaginable, and smugly walk out, but the instant you stop them one single time, they take it personally and walk away. In fact the ones making artistic nonsense decks usually don't get upset if you stop their bizarre Capitoline Triad 9/9 stack gimmick because they know it's not competitive.

>>
>>96671466
Also if you like to express yourself by running instant speed interaction and removal, you're killing the format and "going against the spirit of EDH." Their 5 card value engine durdle synergies are "peak EDH" and "doing the thing" while your value engines and interaction "violate the spirit of the format."
>>
>>96671452
>>96671439
To be fair, butchering reanimator decks via Rest in Peace and Bojuka Bog and the like is extremely based, since reanimator decks tend to be gay as fuck.
>>
The amount of melties I see in this game over interaction is insane. People are too afraid to do anything lest the autist the spell targets has a full breakdown and gets mad at the caster and targets them the rest of the game.
>>
so the thing is just winning through a rube goldberg machine?

>>96671506
Winning via 3+ card janky combos is funny and based.

Winning via a 2 card combo (which often includes the commander) is gay and boring.
>>
>>96671506
the “thing” is always just frauding 4 cards and 20 mana of value onto the board through various means
>>
>>96671506
You're going to step on someone's toes one way or the other. The real answer is always just reading the room and not being an autistic spazz. If everybody is playing removal, counterspells, etc. but you thought you were going to be immune to these, you're in the wrong. If everybody is having a great time with their card slinging and synergies and combos, but you're mad because (insert playstyle) is gay, you're, once again, in the wrong. You do not need to cater to every random and their mental illness, just learn who you're playing with and against, have a deck that will allow you to maintain pace with the rest of the table, and simply play what you want to play within that range. That's it.

I had the worst pod you could imagine, we were 5 people so we'd play 5 (at least, sometimes 6 if someone else came along..) man games, and 2 of the players are just surprisingly slow. I'm talking 10+ minute turns, an average of 4-6 minutes per turn when they don't even have shit to resolve. Meanwhile, even when I play a more complicated deck with triggers my turns are probably like 3 minutes tops, and about 45 seconds when I play a more agressive or basic deck. I wish they would all just embrace their brains and go red, or red-green, but alas...
I also suggested we try playing with a timer once "as a fun challenge haha" and they were instantly vehemently against it.

I don't mind people taking a long turn if we are actively talking/socialising, if things are resolving that they're doing as fast as they can, or if the delay is due to other people not responding (or contemplating responding, ugh).
>>
>>96671550
I run as much color hate and specific gay strategy hate as possible. If only WOTC printed some more +1/+1 counter spam hate, the counters are genuinely ruining the game since every other creature has some +1/+1 counter infinite value bullshit stapled to it nowadays.

Graveyard hate, stupid janky hate like Lifeforce and Deathgrip and Order of the Sacred Torch and Stromgald Cabal, it's all good.

Really, slapping down a Stromgald Cabal is basically saying 'No, you aren't going to get to play any board wipes until this guy is gone.'

redditors and a lot of MTG players are too autistic to play politics and using stuff like verbal skills for deception and trickery so they get mad when it's used against them

fuck those autistic niggers, I'll lie, backstab, trick and deceive my way to winning with my shitty precons against their $500 decks. I find it fucking hilarious and a lot of fun. wasted 10 years of my life in retail, it comes naturally

You should just go play standard and enjoy your 2-3 turn games then, anon. EDH was never about trying to rush out a win as fast as possible.

kek if someone bitched that much I would just run stax against him (and counter his removal)

>>
>>96671601
It’s my favorite way to play. I have a ramses deck and the only way to win with that fucker is to manipulate and lie your way into a win and drop a hammer on the table in one turn when you’re sure everyone’s let their guard down. It’s probably the truest rogue experience.

politicking can be fun when you play liar's dice - my usual go-to is "if you don't attack me during your turn I will do something beneficial to both of us on my turn". It's really funny watching people grimace as the cogs in their brains start turning trying to think what my deal could mean exactly
>>
>>96671596
-1/-1 is the natural predator of +1/+1, it's why I like it so much and hope lorwyn will save us

>>96671676
Yeah so
>people making bad plays for the sake of politicking
I used to humor them and play along when I first got back into EDH but honestly, focus the politicker and you will likely win.
>>
>>96671694
if you politick too much you can trap yourself in deals, or people think you're stronger than you are (if you want continous deals to go through it seems you have some ulterior objective down the line)
the key is to only do it rarely, and sometimes when people turn down your deals fuck them up utterly, like a boardwipe or straightup killing them outright on the very next turn.
>>
>>96671651
Not necessarily. The magic of politics is leveraging what your opponent does know and holding back what he doesn’t know until its too late. With good planning your opponent won’t know he’s making the wrong move.

>>
>>96671811
Obviously you don’t just come out and say what you want them to do. Sometimes you do if they have no choice but to believe you. You use politics in your games even if you think you don’t. Not finishing off players to leave threats on the board for the next man is politics. Staying silent and not giving any info is politics and is honestly the best default strategy if you can’t get a read on the table. It’s not about “do this and get that” it’s just sales, you find out what the other players want and you try to use that to get yourself ahead. The want part is easy, everyone wants to win. That’s why you never give that part away. A smart player will know you’re trying to win too, but that’s where the unknown part comes into play. They might have a winning strategy in their hand and you might not. Or vice versa.
>>
>>96671884
In my experience the people who talk the most and try to be big brain politickers tend to be the weakest players and tend to be easily manipulated and fluffed simply by staying silent and showing no reaction to anything. I learned this from my days in 1v1 tournaments before EDH became huge but it's more true with EDH yappers. I have gotten so many wins by simply not reacting and showing zero reaction or tells as players mindfuck themselves in to assuming I'm bluffing when actually I have nothing in my hand and would have lost if they simply attacked me with their board.

It unfortunately is not, because it's much easier to spam +1/+1 counters and double them than it is to do -1 counters. You can't use wither or infect creatures against them either since the counters get so out of hand so fast, your creatures will just die.

What would be the best wedge/shard for waifus? I was thinking about building goth waifu tribals (well, themed deck, sadly goth waifu isn't a creature type) and had a few ideas:
1) Thalia and the Gitrog Monster, stax/hatebear style, with Thalias, Elesh Norns, Meren, Katilda and Adeline
2) Jeleva, for theatric cabaret of goth witches (Tasha, Lilianas) and a bit of wheels.
3) classic Kaalia and the angels
4) swamp witches worshiping Muldrotha, coven with Sidisi, Meren, Vraska, Savra, Glissa
5) Y'shtola and elegant waifu lifegain aristocrats with Elesh Norns, Sheoldred, altars and angels
Still think where I should place Judith, but is there any obvious top tier waifu I might have overlooked?

Is Lyse better or does the always-on double strike and unblockability make wraith competitive?
>>
>>96673637
I think they're different enough to not really be compared like that. Wraith is more Voltron, Lyse wants you focus on evasive cantrips and temporary pump to keep activating her effect.
>>
>>96673637
depends
>>
>>96673637
Lyse is better if the goal is spells longer stuff. In UW presumably some of the spells you're churning through give evasion. The cost reduction is a big deal too.
Wraith is probably better for Voltron/counters strategies.

I have not played Commander with other people before.
I picked this commander precon from my hobby store, and im planning on improving it base and YOUR(4Chan /tg/) input not a youtuber or tickoker.
I know other people brings their trade binders and the hobby store seles some singles.

So my question to you all is, what cards can improve the "Knights" and overall gameplay for this precon.
Im willing to burn at least 300 bucks if the cards are worth the gameplay value without taken the fun out (no infinite combos, infinite mana/token/mills etc)

Pick up some better lands, precon landbases are... getting better, but still questionable. Put in more interaction, you are playing blue, no reason you shouldn't be playing a good suite of counterspells.
After that, just play it for a bit and see what you like and what you don't like. Add some stuff that could qualify as a finisher, to help you actually close out games like moonshaker cavalry

Are survey lands a reasonable upgrade lands?
Or the bounce lands a better choice?
Gameplay wise and price wise.

I been doing some dry runs on Forge, and it feels like I could use a better mana engine. What mana artifacts could help on a multiple player scenario where the mana ramp has quite a power creep.
>>
>>96674655
Filter and check lands are the best budget options
>>
>>96674655
Surveil lands are much better than bouncelands, but are much much much more expensive
>>
>>96674655
Surveils are easily some of the best lands available, and as such start to climb out of "budget" territory.
Bounce lands are only TRULY useful if you have catch-up ramp or landfall triggers, otherwise they're just another tapland.

surveil lands often cost as much as shocks

But once the untap on the battlefield, they are quintessentially dual lands for less than a dollar.

They suck on the first turn, but im missing something?
>>
>>96674351
Thats the reason I stop doing commander nights, fucking turns take forever and everyone is vibing different 100 times worst if a female on the table.
>>
>>96674806
Bounce lands are fine but taplands are a drawback. One turn later, especially in commander where that is 3 other people going, is a long time. Just a good way to mess with curving out as well. That being said, if you are in a casual environment, a tapped land shouldn't be a death sentence. This thread lives in some delusional reality where land destruction is super common so easy targets are bad
>>
>>96674655
Surveil lands are going to be good in a deck like yours where putting things into your graveyard is actively beneficial, and are probably worth the price if you are willing to pay. Besides that, as somebody else mentioned, there are plenty of other solid budget options available. Filter lands, signet lands, and check lands are all dirt cheap and solid options.
As for ramp, your options are limited in these colors. White has some "catch up" type cards such as knight of the white orchid which is probably fine here, and something like sword of the animist can be helpful in colorless. Most everything has solid options for generating treasure these days, Black market connections is a pretty obvious include here particularly as it can generate knights for you as well. Otherwise there is always just mana rocks.
Consider, however, your main method of getting shit into play: you have a pretty solid reanimator piece in the command zone that triggers on hit, which means that if you have double strike on them, it will trigger twice. Running various double strike enablers will not just help your aggressive gameplan, but effectively "ramp" you by allowing you to cheat things into play twice a turn instead of just once.
>>
>>96674806
you're not, it's just that if you're looking to upgrade a precon's landbase without wanting to jump to surveils/shocks, you should be looking at duals that come in untapped or have some condition to enter untapped, rather than taplands that just come in precons
>>
>>96674806
You effectively aren't doing anything with that land the turn you play it. That could be too slow depending on your table. You'd want the land to at least do something once it enters if it's going to have to enter tapped.
>>
>>96674820
>100 times worst if a female on the table.
this but some nerd or fat guy
>>
>>96674806
As commander has gotten more optimize, the opportunity cost of not having lands that tap for mana right away gets higher and higher.

Surveil lands are only strong once you have a full set of fetchlands to go with them. Without that, they're just sidegrades to temples. Battlebond lands are the actual strongest duals without spending $200+ on fetches first.
>>
>>96674655
bounce lands are rad if you can get stuff out of bouncing your lands or lands that tap for multi-mana (landfall, white catchup ramp, powerful MDFCs like Sea Gate Restoration, lands with effects on enter, multiple land drops a turn, untapping your lands, etc)

Surveil lands are much better generically though, especially since they can be fetched

Not a fad. it's the only thing I build now. And the popularity only grows as the hatred of modern magic does. There are more moxfield decks being made than ever. My personal cutoff for deckbuilding is magic origins in 2015. I have not bought a new magic card once in over a year. I dont think cutting Innistrad, RTR or Khans is super needed because I consider those still golden age nostalgia, as well as the early commander decks like the mimeoplasm not being super commander centric. I do have some pure PreDH decks too though. but I play them at the table with my friends normal commander stuff and they clean up. And that's what makes it not a fad like oathbreaker, you can still play it as a normal legal commander deck.

It's the same as premodern, it only gains traction as wizards attempts to kill the game. They should rename it though

Anyway at the risk of coming off as a big autistic nerd, I'd recommend reading some stuff on the concepts of tempo and mana curves/bases. Magic is a hilariously complicated game and people have put serious effort into analyzing many aspects of it. Frank Karsten did some good writeups on the concept that you might find useful, at least as a baseline.

Bounce lands are amazing now, people don't use land destruction much at all anymore, they give you a guaranteed land drop for the next turn, and give you value you for untap land effects like frantic search. Play both, as you get to surveil twice if you bounce it (and arent hurting for mana, as they both come in tapped)

Need some advice. Would buying two commander starter precons and playing with just two players work? What hurdles or problems would you foresee with a 1v1 game? I've played regular 60 card mtg before, but never played edh.
>>
>>96676997
You can totally do this
1v1 commander already exists as a format; it's called brawl
It really only exists on arena but it is a thing - though in that the starting life total is 25 rather than commander's 40

>>96677030
Ah, I see. 25 Starting life sounds much more sensible than 40 if you're just playing with two. I imagine games could drag on quite a bit without that rule.

If you have no limit for your budget, I'd just run 1 of whatever your most frequent pip is. The amount of answers to any kinds of lands is so minimal that you will so rarely be punished for next to no basics in your deck. If you do experience people actually blowing up lands in your meta, then increase the basics count accordingly.
