There's a very big hump that newer/novice-level players have to get over when it comes to life, and for some it's straight up impossible to do so. I've shown cards like Greed/Phyrexian Arena to friends less experienced with the game and they think they're some of the worst card draw cards in the game. They can't fathom the idea of using life as a resource, or how 40 life is actually large amount they can tank shit with, only that it's a sacred thing that must be protected at all costs and they need to gain as much as possible with lifelink/life gain effects
>>
>>96740847
>I have no idea what it is
group slug that isn't shut down promptly tends to run away with games quite easily. Eriette isn't a group slug deck as such but much the same logic applies, since her ability to lock out others' creatures grows expotentially as other players die.
>>
I can tell TMNT is going to suck for a couple reasons.

It doesn't matter if its the sort of thing found in the cartoon. Then adapt the IP to something more serious. Take a darker look at it. Only pure $oy consumers will consume that.

The only characters that people care about are April and Bebop/Rock. If they actually wanted to harness nostalgia, they would have used OG April for the art. Fewer millenials will recognize scientist april or care at all.

Bebop/Rock were always the more relatable villains for 2 reasons. They were always getting there ass kicked by the turtles and there balls kicked by shredder. They are sympathetic for that reason and in general appealed to kids for being 'badass' yet downtrodden. Also, they were by far the biggest male/furry appealing characters for reasons that i won't elaborate but iykyk. The fact that WotC gave the best abilities to Krang and Shredder shows they really don't understand their own fanbase. Wotc thinks the furries and lgbt++ which they cater to don't want a busted card for these two?

No card effect should ever last for an entire game. It is not possible to interact with. Cards should only have effects in specific zones, on the battlefield or in the grave etc

>>96740999

So, if you were rolling up with a Varolz or something and someone hit you with a 3 drop that said, "if a player is dealt combat damage by ~, they can't sacrifice permanents to pay for spells they cast or abilities they activate", you'd be fine?

Hate pieces can usually be removed. A RIP can be removed. Even if half your library is in your grave and exiled, you can still dig for other pieces for Muldrotha or Lurrus or whatever. It hurts, but it's not scoop-worthy.

I'm all for hate pieces. I have a gross Atla hatebears deck that gets groaned at when I bring it out. But, you can remove shit. Even if Avacyn and hexproof Sigarda are out, a good Toxic Deluge, Farewell, or Shadowspear effect + removal are answers. And there are probably hundreds more I'm not thinking about.

The point is that it's pretty untenable for a lifegain deck to come back from that outside of non-lifegain.

>>
>>96741328

>>
>>96741291
As an addendum, I don't think I can think of a card that hoses a deck archetype like that and has an effect for the rest of the game. Maybe a Planeswalker Ult of some kind? But that's hardly comparable to a 3 drop Haster nor is it comparable to a typical lifegain hate piece like Leyline of Punishment because removal exists.

>Alt TQ:
I actually have a Bumbleflower deck and I have won in the following ways.
1.Triskaidekahile and Teferis protection with thirteen in hand.
2. Twenty Toed Toad, reliquary tower, massive card draw, and a few counterspells
3. Simic Ascendancy to >20 and a Teferis protection.
4. Casting Hivemind and Forced Fruition and then decking everyone with a few simple cheap draw spells.
5. Casting Fractured Identity targeting Hivemind and everyone scooped rather than deal with the chaos.

I always used to looked down on grouphug but this has become one of my favorite decks.
>>
>>96741332
because sisay was a good character in her own right (as good as an mtg ip can be) while still giving gerrard his time as protag, meanwhile samut (the one you could forgive the most out of all the 2020's era black wahmen) took away the spotlight from a character more deserving of it, djeru

No one gives a fuck about flavor text.
No one gives a fuck about lore.
No one gives a fuck about art.

The only thing that determines a set's success are how powerful it is. People will bitch and cry about playing Ninja Turtle cards but if the set has new staples and generally good cards they will use them through their tears.

Yes if both cards are the exact same level of good (or are in the same) but one has better art, people in general will be willing to spend $10-40 more but that has nothing to do with what I said. The people calling UB slop will play UB if it's a good or better card, because 90% of the playerbase are in fact slop consumers who rely on pushed cards, hence why 90%+ of decks have Sol Ring in it and why The One Ring gets so much play despite being $60+ dollarydoos (it'd be in 90%+ decks if it cost $1-10 dollars).

The only way UB fails is if WOTC keeps printing Spider Man tier underpowered sets.

how many trumpet blast and token makers should I be running in my balmor deck? There's like 3 or 4 more trumpet blast cards in red and around 6 or 7 more straight 1/1 token or token with prowess makers. Should I be cutting creatures for token making spells? I also feel like I may be running too many lands and rocks.

>wee dragonauts or a hordeling outburst or another trumpet blast?

how does Evereth work? buddy says that she gets +1+1 counters everytime anything on his side is sacrificed even through other avenues and that she can get both the mana from treasures and the counters, but the card clearly says that to get the counters she needs to be the one saccing them with her sorcery speed effect? is he right and I'm just retarded?

Seems really strong to me given that he pretty much rapes any other creature decks, especially token ones, but he doesn't seem to be used by many people for some reason so idk.

>>96743364
Your interpretation is correct.
She doesn't say "whenever you sacrifice", she has "sacrifice x:", which is a cost for an activated ability instead of a trigger for a triggered ability.
Your friend is either bullshitting you or retarded.

I knew that there was something wrong. this tard was shitting out endless ramp via treasures while also getting his commander stacked up in very few turns, felt oppressive as hell. Thanks

Yeah she would be absurdly broken if her effect was a triggered ability lol

>>96743411
Yeah, he needs to spend a bit more mana to get that effect in the form of Korvold if he wants it. It's still oppressive when he's out, but at least he comes out a tiny bit later.

Friendly daily reminder that the RC could have banned UB pigslop and saved the game/format and caused irreparable damage to Hasbro stock but they instead sold their format out in exchange for trinkets and cardboard goodies worth less than 5,000 dollars in the form of insider tips about upcoming reprints.

And it was all done under the guise of alleged threats. And those threats that led to the dissolution allowed Hasbro to make half a billion dollars selling FF products 9 months later. I'm not pointing fingers because that's slander, but what a lucky set of coincidences!
>>
>>96743471
You say that like Hasbro couldn't have just stolen control of the format from them and C&D'd them into oblivion if they resisted.
>>
>>96742664
Frankly it's not worth explaining that to the Xoomers (yes with an x) I play with. Their hubris will not account for such a possibility
>>
>>96743471
As if anyone would've still listened to them if they banned UB stuff. This is the format where you can play whatever you have lying around with a minimal ban list to still make games enjoyable. Blanket banning sets just torpedoes your credibility and makes people do their own thing or listen to someone else.
>>
>>96743478
Sure, they could have. But that would happen AFTER the RC goes on the offense and accelerates the UB Bad/Commanderification of Magic bad sentiment. Instead they went quietly into that good night without doing anything at all. Maybe Hasbro would have went on a legal rampage against a small group of guys passionate about the game but that would be a worse look for them than the pinkertons fiasco.

It's not like 2025 was the straw that broke the camel's back or anything, the non-KotC shill influencers would have doubled down on backing their play and whatever the outcome was would have been better than where we're at right now.

>>96743495
Yes but again, anything would be better than this. If Hasbro wanted to make the power play for the rights to their sacred cash cow they'd at least be fighting a losing battle for it rather than being gifted the keys because someone caught a spooky fright on twitter,

They wouldn't be fighting a losing battle because you're in the extreme minority, even people who are moderately anti-UB would consider it an outrageous overreach for a bunch of literal whos to ban entire sets just because they don't like them.
>>
Reminder that WotC does in fact not condone "proxies" as cheaters/counterfeiters like to use them.
According to their definition, a proxy is a single-use card issued by a judge for use in a sanctioned event.
Printing cards yourself is counterfeiting and not welcome in our community.

No one "moderately anti-UB" would consider it an overreach because they're still anti-UB. There aren't degrees to this, you either want it in the game or you don't. The flavour of the month UB Timmy isn't going to be playing 6 months from now, and that "extreme minority" grows and gets more ravenous for the UB purge every week when the temporary majority Final Fantasy Freddy tourist adds to the churn rate.

>>96742785
This is incorrect. You may be an all-consuming insect, but I got into Magic because of its setting and the art on cards. I couldn’t give less of a fuck about the power level of sets. In fact with 6 fucking sets a year I’m glad when some are shit because we don’t need constant powercreep and constant fucking replacement of existing cards.
The only thing that matters for power level is what goes in the command zone, and considering there’s already almost 2,700 legal commanders, I think we’ll be just fine for options

Congratulations anon, you just learned that other people don’t think the same way you do! Youre one step closer to developing a theory of mind!
>>
>>96743602
Well you're just wrong, most people don't want a bunch of faceless retards who aren't even associated with the company that they can't use entire sets.
There are very few people who are as extremely anti-UB as you are, there's many people who kinda dislike it but would dislike massive overreach like that more and don't live in a perpetual meltdown over the existence of those sets, even if they don't like them.

Can someone explain to me why Lotus Vale's oracle text is an additional cost rather than an ETB? Rogue Elephant from the same set, templated the same way, is an ETB but this isn't, and I do NOT understand why.

>>96744048
Because it comes into play untapped and if it were an etb you could just float the mana with the trigger on the stack before choosing to let it die which would be horrendously broken.

being an actual lotus that you can run a set of with the cost being your land drop sounds pretty broken to me

Over a decade ago I used to jam this awful Rakdos deck filled with a bunch of terrible temporary steal effects (0 sac outlets) and curses because I thought they were cool as fuck.
>>
>>96744069
I mean, is it though? It wouldn't be a lotus really, it'd be a sorcery-speed any-colour dark ritual with the additional cost that you lose the land you used to cast the ritual.

But I get your point, and in any case I was more curious as to why it was oracled differently to a card with the same templating- and I now realise the answer, which is that the stack didn't exist when it was printed and the change was to keep it in line with how it worked at the time of printing. Though it does make me sad that I can't stifle the ETB like with lotus field.
>>
>>96744384

Needing to ramp into ramp is an easily disrupted strategy that leaves fewer cards in hand to actually take advantage of the additional mana you generate.

As for your questions:
1) Assuming you don't know shit all else about magic deckbuilding, this is a perfectly reasonable option. You can build your own first deck as long as you're willing to accept that it might suck and that there's a good chance you'll have to scrap half of it.

2) Yes, absolutely. Most such effects are in red and some are in green. Look into Etali, Primal Conquerer or Plargg and Nassari.

Of course you can, or you can build your own with the understanding that it may be too weak or too strong, based on your card analysis and deck building skill
>Can I make an all RNG deck? I like hearthstone evolve shaman and the Reno cards
Polymorph cards will transform one card on board into another in your deck. You can curate your deck so that the polymorph targets are always big bombs by running only big creatures and using non-creature spells to create tokens to use as poly morph trargets

Anon, you are clearly overthinking things. You just get to 4 mana by turn 3 almost always in a green deck, and if it isn't a good time to play the commander, just play it next turn.

This is the worst feeling imaginable. Seeing a commander that you think looks cool, but then you build it and it's just generic goodstuff or it has such a generic ability that it synergizes too well with the most boring shit possible.

Found that happens a few times. Usually when the deck ends up leaning more into natural color synergies and less with whatever the commander is doing inherently. Usually try some retooling until it feels more unique to the commander. Which have this happened to you with?

What is there to blow off?
In the RC situation WotC was just taking back the format, something it was already in their power to do, but they needed an excuse that would make even their critics defend them
>well I don’t like WotC BUT if it’s for the safety of the RC…
Worked a fucking treat.

It doesn’t even make more sense? How did it make the RC more safe? It’s not like WotC reversed the bans or could somehow prevent harm to the RC once they had the format.
It was illogical and only retards fell for it

With UB why do they need death threats? They can print as much UB as they want, and they’re doing so. They can break any promises they want about the amount of UB, they can gaslightthe player base into believing that theres not enough demand for UW and then just sweep it under the rug when people are more excited for Omen Paths than Spider-Man.
They’re in complete control

>how has the deck been working out for you so far?
It's very fun to play and has won ~30% of the dozen or so games I've played with it against other B3 decks. I am currently revising the list a little, with an emphasis on cutting cards that don't contribute to the pay off burn/combo turn where i try to win via mass Hearthy planet-glassing. Tannuk is the first to go as he is a bit superfluous as if I am churning through lands effectively i can often sacrifice everything and recur it two or three times to well and truly kill the table. Summon Titan is a bit slow to set up, and frequently gets removed before it can pop-off. There are a few other cards I've trimmed.

>What other ways to win do you have?
It is pretty all-in on the land-sac strategy. I've been considering things like the Titania that creates tokens when lands go to the graveyard to create some board presence, as the deck sorely lacks defensive tools as you never want to block with a creature because they're all serving a purpose to propel the above strategy.

>I noticed a lot of Lumra combos
I tried to avoid this, as otherwise I could just he playing a more casual version of the Lumra cEDH list. I also avoided things like Strip Mine and Glacial Chasm to make the deck less annoying as I don't tend to get a lot of players at my LGS keen for anything over B3 gameplay.

>how much dmg do you normally get from Valakut Exploration?
Usually only a couple of points, as I tend to try and take advantage of the card advantages it gives. Although I haven't actually seen it many games I've played, so hard to say with certainty at this point.
>>
>>96746370
great, let me know how it plays then I can help you.
>>
>>96746377
>my friend keeps copying his decklists
I don't get this. Sure, check out other lists and see if they found any synergies you may not have but outright copying a deck feels like it would remove one of the most fun parts of the game. Tinkering and testing stuff. Digging for cards that may just work and seeing if they do or not.

Awesome, I appreciate the feedback. Strip Mine/Wasteland is so fun though haha, but I hear ya. I also run Tannuk and have been considering swapping him as well. I'd like to replace him with Bristly Bill/Scythe Cub, but those niggas are expensive. For Szarel, I kept in Rampaging Baloths to generate a lot of tokens in case I can't get my sac engine going early enough. Sometimes I hand the game over to Korvold and try to take out someone in one shot. It's hard to balance the +1/1 counters with land sac stuff, so I'm still trying different things out. A lot of games I use Hearthhull to win, but mainly it's through a million Moraug landfall combat triggers. thanks again.

How fun are legends-based decks? Serah Farron looks kinda cool but I'm wary of Selesnya decks since they're often boring. Guess Sisay or maybe Selvala would be better in the command zone, but the question stands. Are they any fun to pilot? I don't wanna end up with a goodstuff generic ball but I feel like a legends-focused deck would easily fall into that.

Everyone jumped on you because your idea of a "lock" could be broken by literally any creature or enchantment removal of any kind as well as only locking out creatures from sticking on the board, and scooping to that is the definition of soft.
