Even if it's literally just "sorry bro, you don't get to have a commander this turn" its so disruptive. I don't get why this isn't at least printed in a bunch of precons
>Deck has 28 lands in totalPlease tell me you don't do this
>>96733810Yeah, so the combo gets pulled off once per turn. Exactly what I said
My pod plays a lit of low power token stuff and this thing fucks. Went ham in Volo a few games.
Post decks or I'll call you a mean word
>TQwhy would the wanna reprint something that was only printed 2 times, when they can just jam in picrel for the 50th time in a precon?
>>96733800>TQThis card is a disgusting killshot at its best and a fog at its worst in a control deck. The amount of games this card has won me over the years made me immediately feel the need to post it.
>>96733896I've been thinking of building Golbez attractions
>TQBeen going through my decks, and this question make me realize how much of a meta whore I am.>>96733896Been working on an octo deck lately.
>>96733915delete this
>>96733928You're welcome
>>96733928Never thought I'd see a Cephalid commander ITT
>>96733800This little fella rocks in equipment decks. Had him one shotting decks turn 5-6.
Decks I'm interested in building next:Wraith VoltronHenzie (Umori)Erebos Artifacts Cycling Sefris
>>96733942Now thats an underrated card. Fuck I wish I could find a deck its actually good in
>>96733915Its ok. There are about half a dozen slop decks Im considering right now
>>96733979Yep it's a wick card. Not a good combo but you can pick God and crack the world tree to get every creature out of your deck
>>96733976Do cycling Extus instead. Red gives you a lot of good payoffs and Extus can get you shit like Street Wraith back in your hand. We aren't here to play the back side most games.
Pigs eating slop general.
>tqIf you play W or Wx and have a lot of recursion, this thing wastes a Swords to Plowshares.
>>96733969I think Aboshan has great art, it's a shame how little support octos have.>>96733942I did try that one, but around 95% of my creatures are octos at this point so I put it back into my sideboard.
>>96734029This also works if you're in green.
who is cooler?
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>96734016Yeah its problem is that it wants to go in tribal decks, but tribal decks either already have the right creatures in them or don't need it, or they don't do the tribal thing without Leyline. It's a very fine edge.I've said a hundred times by now, but I desperately want them to print an equivalent that changes all your opponent's creatures instead so tribal-hate becomes a viable way to playI dunno the Timmy in me thinks it would be funny to come to the table like>I'm playing a vampire hunter deck>"haha but I'm not playing vampires lol">oh but you are
>>96734029>>96734046>being this much of a pissboy about spot removaldo yourselves a favour and just run a much more broadly applicable protection spell like picrel, that just works right then and there with no other stipulations attached>b-but what about muh le spooky dooky farewellyoure in white, just blink your fagbitch creature out of harms way
>>96734063
>>96734029>>96734046If the StP forces you to both spend another card AND find a way to get the card you just recovered out of your deck/GY, the StP wasn't wasted.You can waste an StP for 1 mana if you have more self-control than a toddler and don't tap out every turn knowing you have a threat people might want to remove.
>>96734029>"wastes">have to spend mana on creature again>have to remove its summoning sickness
>>96734029only place i run this is Osgir, because he exiles cards from the GY to make copies, and that wayi can copy them again. works good to get Ugin's Nexus going again. Pull From Eternity is as niche as it gets
>>96734029This card is more funny with things like impulse draws your opponents try to do. This card was originally built to kill a suspended creature, time spiral block mechanic.
>>96734049Tella is the fella for coool... build a kykar vechiles wana be
Guys, got a question, since we're doing a "jank deck" night at the shop in 2 weeks:I'm building a Myra Attractions deck, and I want to put a copy of Exchange of Words in there. If I were to use it to swap Myra's box with something else, how do the opponents resolve having to open Attractions, but not actually having any to use?
>>96734110They'll get the trigger, have no attractions to open, nothing happens
>TQHere's something actually under used and underrated. Instant speed grave hate, manipulate the top deck of any player, and get to see an opponents hand for 2 life.
>>96734119Absolutely annihilate any "a deck can have any number of ~" decks
>>96734118okay, so it becomes a pseudo-Kenrith's Transformation. they have a creature, but basically no abilities. good to know, since Myra isn't actually required to sit on the field once I have a few midway counters lined up>>96734119>tfw playing a Slimes deck, and had a copy under Panoptic>Opponent exiles all 32 other copies in the deck>I had Concordant Crossroads in handgoddamn, I was living the dream there. Stars will never align like that again
>>96734119Very nice, but I don't want the monocolor player to have any lands
>>96734119i guess it is not bad in cumdumbslader either
>>96734142w-wait I thought all the surgical extraction cards got rid of nonlands. This is fucking insane and I need to build a deck around it ASAP
>>96734152And for only 1 more mana than your average board wipe!
>>96734152You think that's bad? You can also Liquimetal+Splinter to nuke every single basic land out of someone's deck.
>>96734142Always fun but I like to brick my opponents breach combo when they least expect it
does anyone here have experience with this guy? I have a brew ready, but the last two times I tried a golgari deck I took it apart within a week.
>>96734162>Splinter lol perhaps theres a reason that hasn't had a reprint since 2005Why does WotC hate fun? Let the monocolors suffer
>>96734156>>96734142>literally the only card in Magic that can hit basic lands like this without being capped at 4Damn I got really excited at first
>>96734181What do you mean "at first"?
>>96734184>find neat idea for a meme deck>doesn't work the way I hoped it wouldThe fuck you mean what do you mean?
>>96734170He's interesting. I tried him out in my Slimefoot deck for awhile, both as a Commander and in the 99. he's a massive factory for aristocrat fodder, but he forces you to only play on your turn to replace your tokens. And the fact that the new tokens are Fungus and not Saprolings means they have no synergy with Slimefoot.If you're playing in a slower meta, and don't mind basically being locked to Sorcery speed (plus a LOT of protection to avoid wipes/removal), he lets you go full throttle each turn with death triggers, refreshing at end step with new bodies. If he made Saprolings instead of Fungus he'd be amazing
>>96734187I don't understand how it doesn't work in the way you'd hopedWhat are you trying to do?
>>96734196>want to include tons of cards that do "the thing">only one existsJesus christ anon how is this so hard for you to understand?
>>96734201Oh right, yeah no, they restrict it for a reason lol. Imagine how fucking busted exiling all basics from a deck would be in Standard. I genuinely don't know if this was an oversight that they decided not to bother errata'ing or if they thought Collect Evidence 6 would be enough to keep it in check.Build a discard deck, include pic related as a tutor, wait for someone to discard a basic, search for Cover Up and then give em the jimmiesThat's your best hope
>>96733979It's good in a lot of weird tribal decks that you'd like to include some cards in that aren't explicitly in the tribal.
>>96733896
>>96733800>TQMy grandpas deck has no bad cards!
>>96733979I just realized I really should be running all the type-changers in my Wick list, since the biggest issue I have is the Snail never gets big enough to warrant detonating. With this, all of my Colonies now threaten to draw me a ton as well.
>>96734029People used to run this in CEDH and I have never seen it actually win because of it
>tqIt isn't quite just one card, but I think charms in general are underloved. Some are pretty bad, but almost all of them can find a niche in at least one deck.
>>96734345they didn't use it to win, they used it to secure themselves. If a key piece of your combo gets hit with exile removal, it was a 1 mana second chance. Since decks have gotten even faster, and with condensed redundant wincons, it's a lot less valuable>>96734372I wish there was a really easy way to look up all the "Charm" style cards. I was originally building a Niv-Mizzet list, but Aragorn came along and blew that idea right out of the water.
is there a specific point in time where hermit druid fell off for cedh? was it printing even more free counterspells?
>>96733800>Underused cards you think are good
>>96734372Mmmmm dawn charm
>>96734282Name 3 other than Wick>>96734313Yeah so many creatures that make rats aren't rats themselves
>>96733896I will when I've got it culled down to a decent thresholdNeed to cut down on the combo a bit and figure out which lands to keep
>>96734423commander?
>over a dozen years later>still nothing betterTitan Chads, keep winning.
>>96734431sike bitch it's P R I M E T I M E
>>96733896Sure. Here's what I've been working on recently. Always wanted to get a mono red deck going and after finding an Ivora in my bulk I built something with her. Has worked surprisingly well these last few weeks on game nights. Consistently gets her a lot of 1/1 counters and takes people out with commander damage while doing damage to key opponent's creatures with red sorceries and instants while digging through the deck. Probably still needs some work and I'm sure there are other discard stuff I'm missing but so far I like it.
>>96734441if it only grabbed basics, it'd be perfectly fine. But grab ANY 2 lands is just too good. Every other Titan had an actual drawback, but not Primetime.
>>96734431And his best art too. Sun Titan is great.
>>96734417Bunch of combos with Malcolm Izzet Partners when you turn artifact enter pingers into pirates. They ping, you make a treasure, that loops.Making wirewood symbiote an elf is a very good way of getting infinite mana and etbs. You play a simic commander and everything being an elf can come in handy as well with priest of titania type stuff. Not amazing but it's a thing.I was just recommending it for cephalids, nothing else I can think of. Its not that good but it's fine
>>96734345Huh, people really don't like this card.Maybe it's just my kind of decks that benefit from it then. I run a lot of grave centric decks, so I have a lot of recursion ready to go. I have a Ghen sagas deck and a Tameshi artifacts deck that don't give a shit if something hits the yard, but do give a shit if it hits exile.
>>96733859
>>96734481>>96734417Slivers also don't mind it, since it means you can run some one-off stupid stuff, or load up on mana fixing dorks to make sure you hit WUBRG, to then give the keyword soup to.The Reaper King also really likes these effects, since now every creature becomes a Scarecrow, meaning you aren't super locked into Changeling Tribal.
>>96734382>If a key piece of your combo gets hit with exile removal, it was a 1 mana second chanceNOFUCKING SHITRETARD
Spider-Man
>>96733979>>96733942I've used it and the Maskwood Nexus in a Lord of the Nazgul deck (when I only own two Nazgul).
>>96734512I think for most decks, it's just a worse card than maskwood nexus. Getting one extra creature type is just obviously worse than gaining all of them kn most situations. I'm assuming that's why it's still in that cephalid deck and the leyline got cut.
>>96734477I say a good middle ground. One land per proc instead of two. That way it gives people a chance to respond, most of the time, before you pull out a dual land combo pieces.
>>96734512>Reaper KingDwight O'Lantern
>buy nice (expensive) heavy play card sleeves>have to clip at least one corner off my inners because they punch holes in the curved bottom corner of the sleevewow that's really awful.
>>96734574Esl?
decks with this vibe?
>>96734580nta but I read that just fine.
>>96734574>>96734598If this isnt an esl thing, then what the hell is a heavy play card sleeve?
>>96734580I just edited the second line too many times, if you think it's unclear.the heavy play sleeves have sharp corners on the top where you put the card in, but the bottom two corners are round instead. normal dragonshield sideloader inner sleeves are poking holes through that curved corner, so I have to take scissors or a nail clipper and cut at least one of the corners off the inner sleeve so that doesn't happen.
>>96734614Exactly what it says? A sleeve with heavy play.
>>96734584Control
>>96734598God I love this guy. "Why isn't there romance in one piece" - "It's a manga for boys"
>>96734431I like this art better, but I will still treasure my prerelease promo version of him forever. Sun titan's just a class act down to the flavor text.
>>96734614Heavy Play is a companythey make card sleevesthe sleeve brand is called "curv">>96734615they make innersthey're also expensive
>>96734574I also tried heavy play brand sleeves and they had a pretty bad shuffle feel, 16 bucks wasted.
>>96734584grand abolisher
>>96734216>Imagine how fucking busted exiling all basics from a deck would be in StandardNot actually busted at all, since there's not any ritual mana acceleration in Standard to drop this turn 1 when you'd want to. So it'd come t4-5, when the opponent already played enough lands to cast their shit, so congrats, you made their deck 100% gas forever
>>96734652>>96734574>Heavy Play is a companyThat's an awful name for a card game product company. And it looks like with curved bottom sleeves like those it's earned.
You all cowards don't even post decks
Why would you use anything besides Dragon Shield mattes and inners?
>>96734669Because Katanas shuffle a thousand times better and I like that feel. Dragon shields shuffle like plastic top loaders.I use dragon shield inners and katana outers. I exclusively use katana
>>96734668Fine here's one of my decks. It's sleeved now.
>>96734669I still use some Nicol Bolas sleeves I got in a convention for $3 ten years ago
>>96734668This >>96733896 got a decent amount of decks posted.
>>96734679Shut up I didn't see it. Don't bully me
>>96734668This is one fucked up image.
>>96734672I haven't had an issue shuffling with dragon shield. I actually prefer the texture on the backs of them too.
>>96734672>Katanas shuffle a thousand times betterThis has not been my experience. I found them to shuffle about as well as dragonshields and to be less durable I use glossy
Is this Mass Land Denial?
>>96734669the walmart near me used to sell eclipses, which I like the feel of a little better. they don't sell any cards or sleeves anymore though.
>>96734692Works on my machine
>>96734683Go be a retard in a different general
>>96734693No.
>>96734699
>>96734696Its not a matter of working, they just arent that different.
>>96734700Is it mass land denial if the opponent is playing WUBRG and is at 1 life?
>>96734672>Because Katanas shuffle a thousand times betterThat has not been my experience at all. I tried those and they split almost immediately. It was genuinely comical. I know it's not completely usual for sleeves to sometimes do that after a while but that must have been a terribly bad batch because it lasted maybe one game night and that was it. Dragon Shield have split on me before as well but those have taken months before even the worst have done so.
>>96734712No, because it only denies specifically them only one mana in that case.
>>96734712In that case it's functionally just delayed burn.
>>96734656was it a particular color? I got red at a convention as a tournament prize and they feel great, but I bought black later and they're noticeably different.
>>96734725So, this is kinda okay, right? She replaces herself and can give some egregious draw every turn. Does it count Snow/Legendary as card types?
>>96734722>>96734724Ok what about this guy?
>>96734731>Snow/LegendaryI hate you fucking newbies.
>>96734731No, these are supertypes, not card types. The card types are, barring some minigame-only ones:>Creature>Instant>Sorcery>Artifact>Enchantment>Kindred>BattleThe issue with her is being monoblue, which means the actually good Kindred spells like Nameless Inversion aren't accessible.
>>96734735It's Mass Land Denial yourself specifically, since you bet your ass it's getting Swords to Plowshares before it can connect.
>>96734742Oh, and also Planeswalker. That's another card type.
>>96734731This doofus has never seen a goyf lmao
>>96733896posting another one
>>96734729I got the purple onesIm still using them because they function but damn if im not tempted to swap them out every time I play em
>>96734748Ok what about this guy?
>tfw my lgs stopped carrying dragonshield glossyI will not take the matte pill. To amazon!
>>96734725Wasn't she a reporter? Why is she a Human Scientist? We've had reporters before and they tend to have some sort of type. It just isn't reporter"
>>96734762Burn, again.
You WILL use the sleeves I prefer and you WILL like them.
>>96734725Why is her shadow wearing glasses?
>>96734787It isn't her shadow. She's hacking or doing something and a guy is opening the door behind her or something and coming in. Which is why she is looking that way.
I like this sun titan a lot
>>96733896Behold my ultimate power! (oink)
I'm gonna say the word
>>96734838fuck why picture no upload
>>96734824Its kind of nuts how often he is printed with how few different arts there are.
Anyone feel like getting mad about UB today?
>>96734911Idk man maybe we should let the piggies wallow in the mud today.
>>96734893There was a new one in FF but not much else. His base art is very solid so I get it may be difficult to top. I thought it may just be that there aren't many giant characters to use to reskin him but I'm sure they could have thought of something if they really wanted to.
>>96734911Not only are we revisiting NYC again very soon, but it is an entirely different NYC to the first one we've been to. This rubs me even worse than those cringe turtles themselves
>>96734911>>96734924You can be annoying faggots all you'd like, a handful of fun SLD can be cool, but I've met no one in real life that likes spiderman, or has a positive reaction to anything coming down the pipeline other than lorwyn. you are just pissing in an ocean of piss and deciding to force a meme and act like you are better somehow.
>>96734674Is this Zhulodok or Ultima? They're both colorless support that I could imagine switching between the two pretty easily.
>>96734300What's the gameplan with these two? Ramp fast and out value your opponents?
>>96734423What are you trying to build that would have that much of a maybe board?
>>96734962why would the archetype matter when the maybeboard is just for any card you're considering, thus the name
>>96734969Fair enough. You're right there. I guess I mean more rhetorical really. I could understand having to cut or decide between around ten cards or so but being sixty six over limit is something else.
>>96734937this but FF. No one gave a shit about that boomer property
>>96734778This was her role in the very first/original comic book run
>>96734933The NYC in TMNT is identical to the NYC in Spider-Man save like a couple of generic ass locations. They are NYC. They do not really massively alter it and spider-man had few "iconic NYC" shit unique to it. I can think of 4 and they are all tap lands
>>96734944Zhulodok to fuel my gambling addiction with cascades. Ultima is an absolute unit though for both doubling your mana production and crippling a opponent's.
>>96735000NeatWas she black there?
>>96735007Yes
>>96735007Eh, hard to tell with black and white comics. The perm was absolutely there, though
I like this art (and artist) too
>>96735022She looks mixed on the right at the very least.
>>96734615Its clear, anon is just a schizo
>>96735022>for a humanSo...what are the turtles attracted to if not Humans? Each other?
>>96735024how is this a black card?
>>96735022She never had a distinct ethnicity. Peter Laird said she was Asian, and said Eastman would probably say she's mixed-race, and sometimes she had darker skin, sometimes not.This all said, there was one definitively whitewashed character from the comics, and that's Baxter Stockman, who the cartoon made white but was explicitly black in the comic. Later versions made him black again though.
>>96734668A bit outdated, but my favorite aggro deck.
>>96735091He was a fly guy 90% of the time in the original cartoon anyway
>>96735105that doesn't look aggro
>>96735105Your mana curve is really high, you need to consider some lower mana costed creatures. I don't see a whole lot of creatures in here in general. There is no synergy happening here, cut the stuff like hallowed burial (love that card btw) and put in more equipment based things, you have the swords for that already. Just my notes, you have a good basic shell but you need more focus.
How would you feel about a deck led by this guy, designed to have as many mechanics going as possible?
>>96735150Literally my dream commander. Would run forever
>>96735150"cwoobergs"
>>96733800You're a newfag if you don't remember these Urabrask memes
>>96735163What does that have to do with anything?
>>96735185Newfag
>>96733800>TQ
What are the most despised sets? I just started and it seems like Aetherdrift and the murder mystery set are quite disliked.
>>96735242>empty all mana pools>as a sorceryMan they didn't think that one through
>>96735275>cast worldpurge >all permanents (including lands) will be bounced if it resolves>in response all your opponents float mana>worldpurge resolves and their mana pools are emptiedSeems to be working as intended no?
>>96735271every set since eldritch moon teebeecchi
>>96735271Yeah there was a wild west set that wasn't very well received either. These are probably the three least enjoyed sets in the game.
>>96735284>>in response all your opponents float mana>>worldpurge resolves and their mana pools are emptiedAnon. What are they floating mana for if they don't have spells that can be cast at instant speed? If they have spells that they can cast at instant speed why would they want them to resolve after Worldpurge and not before? That sweet sweet instant speed token generation??
>>96735275it's so you can't cast it with a million mana and win the game immediately
>>96735307yeah if you wanted to win the game with a million mana you should have used any of these other X spells
>>96735242NOOOOOO THIS IS MLD AHHHH HELP ME GAVIN
>>96735271Homelands and Fallen Empires were fucking ROUGH. Also, I feel like Magic 30 has been forgotten, 1000 dollars for official proxies. Maybe. You could just pull trash. Feels like Spiderman dethroned Aetherdrift for modern sets. The hat sets of the past few years are bad but there are at least some mechanically interesting cards in cowboys and clue.
>>96735147Found an updated version.I've removed academy rector for a Kor Cartographer, and the Adakar Valkyrie for a Truefire Paladin. So the curve is a little down from the 3.39 it's at in this picture. I feel like it has a good amount of removal for my meta, but the only problem I have with this deck is sometimes I get too many lands, or too little creatures. I feel like more card draw would solve that.
>>96735298Its so they cant cast stuff after the spell has resolved with the mana they would have floated. Im not sure how this is lost on you
I never build a deck that costs more than $50 how do you people have $5000 shitpiles FACT
>>96735318Nope, we're resetting the game (with optimized hands) but I have some lifegain so I start with a way higher life total
>>96735323Looks way better! looks like your draw is fine with the wheels. Maybe a magus of the wheel could work, you can equip equipment to him if you're desperate and just need a body.
>>96735307>it's so you can't cast it with a million mana and win the game immediatelyIt's a fucking 8 mana spell you can already win the game without casting it
>>96735341>magus of the wheelI didn't know about that, but I'll pick one up and try it out. If it had vigilance it would really be nice.Oh and the synergy of the deck is basically any creature can be a threat with a sword + damage increase + Gisela. Adding another one of those is just gravy, and having vigilance on a creature is just the best. Nobody wants to attack you with Gisela up. If any of my threats get wiped out it's pretty good about throwing down another creature, equipping it and attacking for major damage quick, if I don't get a mana flood or don't have a creature, which I said before is the major problem with the deck.
>>96735150im just going to run a "every color hose" deck with this guy as commander so i can have a bracket 1 deck on hand.
>>96735376Based.I want to build a 2 or 3 color deck where EVERY non-land card is those two or three colors.
Whats the best way to manage/log my collection? Was thinking just scan in all into manabox, sorting each deck into binders, then upload all that to moxfield. Then as I buy singles just scan them into manabox and put them under singles?
>>96735542I use Delver Lens. Cards not in decks go into lists where I describe where I store them. Decks are for decks I currently have constructed.
There is something so fun and childish about black/green cards. I love it. Same with green/white cards but in a more friendly fashion. It's like these type of cards were what EDH was made for.
>>96735717You have no idea how badly I wish the game would go back to dumb fun cards like this, and not the hyper optimized goodpile meta stuff we have nowadays
>>96735717100%, Abzan Junk Piles Are my favorite kinda edh deck, they make me feel like a bimbo retard while I cheat out irrationally expensive cmc creatures like this
https://moxfield.com/decks/1gpNB-2WSUmf4f1dMVDofQmy balmor deck. I finally got to play a couple games with it vs some much stronger decks. They didn't know what my angle was and I was just playing little creatures and playing small cantrips each turn.i find the issue was that I had to choose between playing my creature or playing a cantrip to bufff my guys, and most of them don't have haste anyway. It feels slower than I'd it like to be.another anon told me that my curve should max out at 3, and I took his advice to heart. I cut Niv mizzet, and archmage emeritus and some other bigger spells. I'm afraid to make the deck any faster but I think it will only function if I go all in with a lower curve and more token makers.Any tips bros? I'm trying to go wide with small creature tokens or prowess (think Kitsa or Swiftspear) and running cheap cantrips to maintain tempo and counterspells to protect vs boardwipes

The fun, do-big-things decks that used to be the norm are now weak and unplayable. There's no creativity anymore.
>>96734477I bet you any money it would be perfectly fine in anno 2k25 commander, maybe as GC.>>96735150He cute!
>>96735758Is your goal burning with spells cast triggers or blowing people out with a Balmor boosted sweep? It looks like now you're split a little between the two. If you were thinking sweep I'd add at least a few board wide haste enablers like Fervor or Rising of the Day. Would make all those birds or elemental tokes much more threatening if they can also attack when they enter and get boosted. Considering you're trying to do the spell slinging thing either way have you considered any of the mana cost decreasing artifacts like Sapphire and Ruby Medallion? They could help mitigate having to chose between casting synergy pieces and the spells you want to cast into them.
>>96735758If I were to make a Balmor deck, it'd absolutely only run creatures that had haste/prowess or created a tapped+attacking creature token and slammed it full of cantrips/trumpet blast cards to double up on the buffs. I'd build it to go pretty wide real quick since Balmor + trumpet instants will do all the heavy lifting of the deck
>>96733896I don't have decks, nor do I play games. I just come here to talk theory and call people piggies
>>96735864my goal is to overwhelm with a bunch of 6/1 trampling tokens and creatures and casting instants/sorcery to trigger the token generation or +x/x buffs>medallionsI cut sapphire medallion because my cards mostly use colors pips and I have a couple cost reducing creatures anyway. I put in the fire and sky diamond which might get cut later .>>96735876thanks, what website is that in your image?
What are the best targets in each of her colours for this cutie patootie?I bought her precon last friday cause it was 35 bucks and it's the only FF game I completed way back when but after playing it I was surprised to find there's a lot of creatures in it that don't synergise with her (not even Celes, bruh).I was thinking of adding in a bunch of anthems but I am unsure if I should fill the remaining spots with strong ETBs and go all-in on the aggro side, or go with more stax effects and build a wider board while making my pillowfort.
>>96735920>thanks, what website is that in your image?scryfall tagger. Community-based tagging system: https://tagger.scryfall.com put in a card and it'll show you all the tags for it and will link to scryfall for that particular search
I wish i was a cute girl so i could pull up to commander night in a jirai kei cord.
>>96735972If you wanna go staxy get this card to ruin some people's day

>>96735150He is turbo tank, he gets a pass for being wubrg
I kind of enjoyed OTJ
>>96736095other than>a fucking hat it was a good set overallif you want to be contrarian you must go enjoy Aetherdrift
>>96736095the plane is boring as fuck and the flavour ruins a lot of what would otherwise be pretty cool cards, but the mechanics were decent and I use a few pieces from it quite happily (aven interrupter my beloved).
>>96733800Has anybody mentioned that the TNMT commander deck will have 43 new cards in it? How does Cool Stuff Inc. have this info? Was it confirmed by WotC?
Abzan is my favourite wedge, because I'm my language it sounds ike a butchered slang term for "to cum"
>>96736137There's a commander deck? The whole character select line up are part of the commander deck? Didn't think we'd get one for that set.
TQthis and Back to Nature are my pet staplesalso terrain generator is the goat for budget mono color decks
>>96736178>picrelYou run into that many artifact creature decks?
>>96736137>ONE commander deckThis is retarded. It'll be 700 dollars scalped because there's only one deck.
>>96736158Main commander is 4 turtles in one card.Alt commander is Leonardo + Partner.
>>96736227When do you think we're going to get new cards added that make previous cards partner
>>96736178it memes on voltrons actually
>>96734098For that you can also use the processor eldrazi. There are only 2-3 actually good ones, but they can be incredibly satisfying to use cause everything uses exile as a temporary zone. Suspend, rebound, adventure, little Ugin, a bunch of commanders like Jeleva, Tasha, Rayami, Mairsil... You can just do a whole bunch of mischief with them.
Bros I'm not sure whether I want Kilo to lean more into the untapper proliferate spam with shit like Clock and keys, or stay focused more on +1/+1 counters and getting a wide board of artifact creatures to swing with
>>96734029And if your opponents aren't running exile effects it's just a dead card and if your deck plan relies on making sure one specific spell isn't exiled you have the jankiest of jank decks. While cards like these can be funny and satisfying to pull off when they fire, the odds of them doing so and mattering to the game are infinitesimally small. It's already hard enough to cut decks down to 100 cards, I'd rather just throw in generic mass protection like Dawn's Truce or spot protection like Ephemerate which have actual use in most games.
>>96736227That's a lot in one commander deck. Are there supposed to be other decks or is this it?
>>96736095Cards were mechanically fine, set mechanic wasn't retardedly specific and narrow so it can actually work with thousands of cards. Art sucks, plane sucks. BTW that's also the only problem people actually have with UB. Spiderman didn't fail because people hate the art and setting, it's because the mechanics fucking sucked.
>>96736095Crime is a fantastic mechanic Outside of the middling flavor of the name I would have zero issues with it going evergreen
>>96736355Just one precon.
>>96736214I feel like there must be at least one busted card in the 43 new to mtg cards that will cover 1/2 the MSRP price tag. I'll probably buy a couple and store them somewhere in my basement.
>>96736365That is weird. Would have thought they'd at least do a heroes and villains precon. Not just heroes. I mean, that it's getting a precon is something at least but still.
>playing teysa>resolve my favourite card ever, Tombstone Stairwell>each turn everyone is making between 3 - 8 hasty zombies and then they die>all 13 of my aristocrat pinger cards were in the bottom 20 of my deck and i drew like 50 cards in the gamesuffering
Thoughts about playing "rest in peace" effects?My current favourite deck is a mono black removal pile and naturally cards like pic related and Kalitas (4cmc RIP gives 2/2 zombie) ended up in the list since they give me a thing when I do my 1B destroy dude thing. But sometimes there are games where a RIP on a guy just shuts down someones deck completely, so naturally element of feelbad is introduced and while I think they should just play interaction so their gameplan does not die to a single guy on board it has left a lil bit conflicted about it.
>>96734431Titan cycle was great honorary mentions to wurmcoil engine and consecrated sphinx being unofficially titans.
>>96736662its a necessary evil, as GY decks get an obscene card advantage/selection later on that will just drown you out. There are so many graveyard hate effects that they are the sole reason these type of decks arent auto S-Tier in EDH. But a decent GY player would expect these types of effect and pack more interaction to not just instantly loose to a single creature, or lese they are utterly retarded or the biggest noob in the pod. I just wish WotC would print the same amount of sensible and meaningful amount of land hate
>>96736662>Thoughts about playing "rest in peace" effects?bad in noob pods extremely good in pods with good players. the grave is such an insanely good second hand for every color you need it. only problem is a lot of rest in peaces are non symmetrical. picrel has become my staple for having a very good effect on a stick with some extra ramp thrown in.
>>96734431cope >b-but l'attack triggahcope
>>96734170I like him. I recently tweaked my list so that it is exclusively Permanents, except for this card and it has been pretty fun.
>>96736662I get why they're a thing, but I also don't like them. Don't really play any decks that care about their graveyard myself anymore but I did when I started the game so I get how much it sucks to see them and I'd rather not do that. If a grave deck is getting out of control I find it's a lot easier to just focus the player down. Usually at least one other player at the table will see the threat coming and realize that graveyard player needs to be taken care off as well so that player quickly gets knocked out. Also don't really like playing cards that are useless in most other match ups the way graveyard removal is.
