Oh yeah, Previous Thread: >>96787231
>>96794544>TQ: What plane that hasn't gotten a set would you like to see get one?Do we know about any official planes without any sets?
>>96794544Kek they really did make this? Tarantino is gonna sue a nigga
>>96794562Oops Whedon, not Tarantino
>>96794562>>96794567Anon..
>>96794570Zamn, that's kino
Melty-kun is NOT going to like this thread
Hypothetical scenario for you guys. Your opponent plays Buried Alive and sends Abdel Adrian to the graveyard. He taps 2 mana, preparing to Animate Dead, with a smirk. You dont have it. Its just a reaction test. What do you do?
>>96794621I always have it.
>>96794621i will simply counterspell
>>96794621Because I have Vedalken Orrery out, I flash in Farewell
>>96794556Its a short list. We have some cards that reference planes that never got even partial sets and some characters are said to be from places we haven't seen. Especially Planechase included a bunch that never got more than that.
>>96794621This is just a low effort rip off of a much more sovlfvll post
>>96794544>>96794684>TQ: What plane that hasn't gotten a set would you like to see get one?There is only 1 answer, and it is Vesuva
>>96794736Its just a reaction test bro
>>96794743vesuva is an island in dominaria
>>96794567I don't think Whedon can sue over a movie from the early 80's
>>96794570>Ash is non-legendarystill seething
>>96794544TQ: That plane where everything is mini
Will playing a theft deck get me hated off the table
>>96794801Depends on your pod and how you play.The one thing I can guarantee is that if you play theft, at least one person at the table is going to know exactly how powerful what you have is, because you ripped it from his grubby hands.You will need to pace yourself if your deck isn't tuned to fuck and back and if it is, you're going to have to be upfront with it or else people will be ultra pissed. The "oh I'm only playing your stuff, so it's only as powerful as your deck" argument is only cute the first time.
>>96794621Crop Rotation -> if resolves, search for Bojuka Bog -> wait for response to triggered ability mirroring his smirk.
>>96794888Um SIR, is that a game changer?? This is a bracket 2 table sir. Judge. JUDGE!! AIIIEEEEE
>nearby lgs starting to list turtles precon pre-orders>90€It's not even out until March 2026. What the fuck is going on with the market.
>>96794930Are there even card lists yet?
>>96794979Only the face commanders have been unveiled so far. No word on 99 deck.
>>96794986Maaaan I kinda wish Donatello werent perfect for muh Who deck.
>>96794986>3 drop>blue>if i make tokens i get those tokens and another artifact tokenI refuse to use it, but boy do I wish I could.
>>96794986>5c DO THING DRAW CARD slopis WotC really this devoid of creativity?
Lore-win ismt until current year +1
>>96795078Nowadays every UB seems to have some 5c legendary that provides generic value for people who want to play a generic soup of all the characters from that set.
>>96794930>90 for the TurtlesThe only time I ever saw a precon get that high was the Eldrazi ones, and they get a pass because of how cool they are.
>>96794930WOTC website has MSRP at $69.99 so your store might just be throwing out a placeholder price?
>>96795078>drawing cards is slopJust stop talking if you're so devoid of valuable opinions.
>>96795047very strange since you have like 50 FF decks
>>96794986>Heroes in a half shell>doesn't have the hero typing
>>96795078with the amount of shit that is released per minute, do you really expect WotC, of all instances, to be a creative mastermind?There is only so much you can do with WotCs current rulset and about 5 zones in existence, except juggle cards around in a slightly different manner and call it something different this time.Its bound to happen that everything looks similar with this much shit being released
>>96795181Final Fantasy is based and in my opinion really meshes with the type of fantasy Magic has, TMNT, Marvel, etc are to me a completely different type of fiction/genre and it feels extremely out of place. Kinda like how LOTR works but Star Trek (despite my enjoyment of TNG) really feels off.
>>96795283>Kinda like how LOTR works but Star Trek (despite my enjoyment of TNG) really feels off.Um sweaty, Star Trek is adjacent to MTG now that EoE exists
>>96795193Just be grateful they didnt make Teenage a typing
>>96795300As much wonder and unique, magical stuff that exists in Star Trek, I think EoE really captures a more magical feel of things and less of a science-y take on it. Sure, we got ships and such, but maybe it's just me and my personal interest.

>>96795325>the cards in a cohesive deck synergizeno...
Is there Lesson synergy that exists outside ATLA? I remember seeing it before I think. Im gonna run this shit, its cool and I dont care. The scene where Zuko reflects lightning at Ozai was super kino
>>96794801the ones playing fair magic don't care. target the one that instantly starts groaning because they have the most broken shit
>>96795283>approved UBExtremely gay
>>96795383>I like things I like and think fit>I don't like things I don't like and don't think fitI know, opinions can be scary
>>96795393>Tidus fitslol
>>96795337They make the same few deck archetypes every single set. Why bother buying them, it's just the same shit you already got and have seen a million times before.
>>96795400I'd say FFX has the same kind of monsters and magic style, while being unique and different enough to not feel derivative of normal magic, yeah. Love the world, even if all the supplementary material ranges from almost great to utter and complete cancer.
>it's just an alt wincon guys come on>ignores it's the cheapest one>you just mikokoro them in response lol>ignores that they can leave up to 2 cards in their library to dodge that and still winwhy are retards like this?
>>96795383This anon is correct. All UB is valid and contributes to MTGs identity. We cant yuck anyones yum with approved UB, because that suggests some UB isnt approved. I like Assassins Creed and Spiderman and hate FF and UW. Does that make FF and UW unapproved UB? No not at all.
>>96795432also>deadpool is only salty because it's UB>ignores that it dodges ALL protection, can't be stifled/torpor orbed and is the wincononly no-games can come up with this
>>96795444that's true. every UB is all equal contributorsequally shit
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>96795456That's true for Pauper EDH.
>>96795456Preach sister.Combo enjoyers must PAY
>>96795446>Is the winconInfinite copy combo is the wincon. Deadpool just happens to be a good target. He can't win on his own.
>blocks you're commanderhow does he do it?
>>96795456Actually true, I should be able to realistically kill the green nigger before he has 10 lands.
>>96795446>its also a 5/3>is not only removal but also a clone>drain effect for no reason >player has to pay 3 to get rid of the drain - but draws their opponents 3 cards in the process for literally zero reason >if your commander gets pooled you have to pay 3 for the privilege of paying 2 more commander tax to get your commander back>for 4 manaDeadpool is the most FIRE design powercreep bullshit of the recent years
>>96795414>>96795283Where do you get off pretending some UB is okay and others aren't?
>>96795510>Where do you get offOn /d/
>>96795510If Microsoft and Apple were teaming up for a project, you would except either a desktop PC or Phone project, certainly not a Romeo and Juliet Style Musical about Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
>>96795456this, aggro has NO chance alone against a 40 life combo deck
>>96795534>alone
>>96795474>>96795534>xir doesn't focus out the combo player>claims to play aggro
>>96795488>wait, infinite copies doesn't win you the game>think againholy shit that's devious
>>96795544Xister, Im a group slug enjoyer
>>96795494don't forget. removing him is most likely only to fuel him furtherthe only answer is to send him to the moon or turn to a forest and that's assuming they can't sac him in response
>>96795510see >>96795393I don't take a hard stance against UB, but I definitely think that WotC could be doing it SO much better than they are. 4/7 sets in a year? Insane. 7 sets in a year is already way too many, but Marvel and Spider Man? Eugh.>>96795528Hey I see what you did there!>>96795529This feels like it gets the point across pretty well
>>96795540have you seen the current state of commander? it's all 1/3 value creatures to jerk yourself off with
>>96795552>>96795571LOL
guys I have a dumb question: if I play mishra and Im playing a game where he doesnt stick to the board and I cant do crazy copy plays, then what are my win cons?
>>96795552I love the "pings everyone constantly" creatures.>creates at least one scion literally every turn>pings everyone for 2-4 damage per turn>fuels your big boys OR acts as cheap blockers
>>96795544>we need to kill the combo player>but he hasn't done anything >and you have the most creatures, you're obviously a threat>we're all going to hit you, now
>>96795581I used to have a Mishra deck, my old list is herehttps://archidekt.com/decks/10506363/mishras_warforgeMy main alternate wincons were just slapping the shit out of people with Karnstructs, or just outvaluing people with regular Tokens with provided keywords (Double Strike, Menace, Myriad, etc), or even just using Cyberdrive Awakener if I had enough stuff on the field to kill people without Mishra. Otherwise, I just blew counters on protecting him and such.
>>96795609thanks. thats pricey. I go for a more budget friendly version. might add saheeli to my list too. she looks cool
>>96795635Makes sense, this was my outlet for lots of expensive cards that now spend their time in Golbez. Oh, you might also want Depthshaker Titan, giving all of your artifact creatures Haste, Trample, and Melee could do a LOT for a pile of thopters.
Ban it
>>96795645Counter it
>>96795582>i love goodstuff, man>its the best
>>96795648>always play blueNo
>>96795599>the apparent threat is SO bad that drooling tarts start main phase 1 Swords to Plowshares your beaters >their main phase 1 even
>>96795510>UB 1 features high fantasy themes, magic and creature tribes familiar to the game>UB 2 features sci-fi, modernday cityscapes and superheroesWhich do you go with? Suicide is not an option, Jarjar-speaker
Playing against too strong commanders isn't fun for anyone.>either everyone focuses that player down and they're just denied the entire game>or everyone lets them play and they pop off and fuck everyone up with ease
FACT: Sol Ring should be banned
>>96795727Fuck that free my boy Mana Crypt.
>>96795432I dont see the issue thassas doesnt exist outside of b4/5. So you signed up for it. Or you've learned not to play with someone for lying about their deck ezpz
>>96795645This is another case of a card thats only really good in high power.
>>96795727>>96795755UNBAN FLASH
>>96795663Give it the blicky, anon.
>>96795790It's good anywhere.>gruul>free shit out the ass>transforms into a blightsteel colossus because fuck you
>>96795816Its really not. Its good in high power cause you can likely chain proc him. In low power its middling. You are very unlikely to infinitely proc etali which is the only point at which its a problem.
>>96795490
>>96795668I once had my tariel eat two stps in a row while a prossh player was very obviously running away with the game (crypt into ogre battledriver and other nonsense) and the scariest thing I could pull out of a graveyard was solemn simulacrum. This was many, many years ago and I am still mad. I didn't even have a big hand, I cannot understand what they were so scared of.
>>96795806>recasts it and freecasts 20 mana worth of cardsCool strategy bro
>>96795881I run decks specifically to ruin a single person's fun. >I shoot the dinosaur with a knife
>>96795727Good luck telling every precon owner the target demographic Sol Ring needs to be swapped from the deck.
>>96795892Every one of your murders is a 5 for 1, kiddo.
>>96795928I accept your concession and will hit you for 2 damage.
An interesting ideacan anyone here name a deck that explicitly does not want sol ring in it?Because I'm drawing blank, even Codie wants it to get out faster
>>96795582Why is Eldrazi so fucking pushed
>>96795967>pushedI fucking love my Zhulodok deck, but it's definitely not pushed. Eldrazi really could use some new titans or big boys with some new gimmicks, especially defensive options and counterspells.
> he runs 'wincons' in his edh deck
>>96794544>TQEquilor, all the way
>>96795363Strixhaven has Learn, which lets you wish tutor Lessons, but that doesn't work in EDHReturn to Strixhaven will probably have some new Lesson synergy
>>96795995>Eldr*zi players think this isn't pushedThe funny thing is I know its less pushed than the Eldrazi decks (two) I see at ye olde LGS
>>96795996my wincon is beating you to death
>>96796017Anyone buying the Zhulodok deck now is insane. I've seen people asking $375 for it, which is absolutely insane. I got mine way back for like $60. Personally I much prefer Zhulodok to Ulalek, since he pops off way harder with the titans and big boys. Ulalek seems far better suited to abusing copies of smaller, non-legendary stuff.
>>96795961A friend of mine has a First Sliver deck where he doesn't play Sol Ring. According to him, occasionally having a faster start isn't worth hurting the consistency of his cascades.
>>96796006Is that the one where urza consulted a bunch of time wizards during his wild and whacky adventures with xantcha or am I thinking of something else?
>>96795996>"I am playing Child of Alara, basically if it dies it boardwipes creatures">"uhm okay anon">never cast commander throughout the entire game>"I will search for a land..">"I will play an additional land this turn..">"..which lets me put these lands from my hand onto the battlefield..">lategame>"I play Maze's End. TLDR, if I pay 3 and tap it and control 10 GATE Land cards I win. You have until next turn, good luck.">entire table shits themselves and gang up on me>barely survive to upkeep with 4 hp>scrape the win off the floor
>>96796071trash deck, caue
>>96796071>they don't gang up on you the second you drop your first gate
>>96796057Slivers don't NEED Sol Ring, but it never hurts. The ideal setup with First Sliver is>get scroll rack>set up your cascade>play a WUBRG sliver>get a shitton of free Slivers>have stuff like Chrome and Amber Mox (Diamond if you're a richfag) as guaranteed casts tha ks to searching for a 0 cost spell after going through your Slivers>repeat
>>96796084>Diamond if you're a richfaganon, CUMmander players always proxy.play a fake game with fake cards I guess
>>96796082That's the funniest part, my plan was on wide display the entire game, I even stacked my gate lands in a separate pile and the rest of my lands in another pile on the board. >>96796079It's arguably not a good deck, but it's fun. I am a big fan of having tons of lands, tons of mana to spend on flashy spells like Genesis Wave.
>>96796084His 0 mana hits are those suspend demonic tutor and ancestral recall.
>>96796106My LGS screeches and bans you if you use proxies. Personally I just use bootlegs and their "judges" never notice, but I did see them kick someone out for using anime tiddy proxies.
>>96796112Those work too and absolutely slap. You can also use Demonic, Vamp, Imperial, and Worldly in the deck as well since they're only 1 and 2 cost. That way you can immediately queue up another WUBRG Sliver for your next turn.
>>96796121>I did see them kick someone out for using anime tiddy proxies.can't blame'em>personally I just use bootlegsI literally went to a PTQ with a 100% bootleg deck (lands included) and got my spot. "Judging" in this game is a bad joke hahahah
>>96795961I've heard of a guy cutting it from Ivy cause he could barely use colourless mana for all the cantrips and whatnot. I've only played against it once or twice, but it still went wild quickly.
>>96795207Do you have the Amelia edit?
Post d*ck picsThis one is a 4fun build (no wincons, just a emergency softlock) that I made with cards in my collection that I don't use anywhere else
>>96795961Like some of the other anons have touched on, there's really no reason to take it out unless it actively hurts your gameplan. Its ubiquity is earned.Unless it's going to fuck with resolution of your main gameplan or you're in a deck that actively hates colorless mana, it's pretty much perfect.
>>96795961Decks with low generic costs.
>reading a primer>it's written by chatgptgreat, thanks. the thing is, chatgpt probably wrote a better primer than what this retard could, and it's probably actually correct. but using AI just signals low effort, and if you're not bothered to write your own primer, how do I know you were bothered to build a proper deck in the first place?
>>96795961devotion, maybe? but even then, i can't imagine it hurts to have
>>96795961there is literally none EXCEPT heavy devotion decks that don't play their commander because sol ring still pays for the inevidable tax
>Animar player tries to shun someone else's commander for being "generic"
>>96796348it's pretty rare to have a deck that doesn't have enough generic cost on it's spells for sol ring to be useless
>>96795961Can't cast it from the top so it's trash
>>96795790It's literally good at any table. Probably worst at high power tables because you'll hit more counters and high synergy value pieces. It's like you took og Narset but let you cast four fucking cards without even attacking. It's literally four times worse than narset to play against. The value/cost ratio is absurd, probably one of the best in the game desu.
>>96796487>ermm its actually WORSE when you can steal good cards with him.Youre retarded. There is a reason etali sees cedh play and that is precisely because you can reliably flip into goodstuff gas from your opponents, tutors, draw, rituals etc.>narsetMuch stronger in low power pods.
>>96796487>Probably worst at high power tables because you'll hit more counters and high synergy value piecesHEY RETARDIF YOU HIT THOSEYOUR OPPONENTS DON'T GET THEM EITHER
>>96796544It was in your opponent's library. They already didn't have it.
>>96796532>Much stronger in low power podsWrong. There are way too many edicts nowadays>There is a reason etali sees cedhSure. The reason I say it's arguably worst there is your less likely to hit big bombs, and a much higher density of counterspells. Worse doesn't mean bad btw, etali is certainly good in cedh, but absolutely triple-God unholy kijg bazookadick tier in lower power level contexts.
>>96796544I don't think you understand my argument
Temur confuses me
>>96796532The chance you flip into a counterspell or unusable combo piece, i.e. literally the worst possible hits, is way higher in cEDH. Despite that the value from the card is still high enough that it's run as a wincon. In lower power games now you swap half the bad hits for a random 8-mana bomb and surprisingly wow the card still looks good.
>>96796295And this one is a "cedh" build. Dagsson was the 2nd edh deck that I made (back in last year of school when our group find about edh on a facebook group). The 1st deck was a Sliver Overlord one, but the foil og slivers play even better on a binder, so I dismantled it.Since I 1st build Dagsson he went from a "swissknife" style that tryed to do everything (with Dagsson's tutoring); now it's a soulless U goodstuff that tries to combo on T1. Oh my days...
>>96796596>Still trying to play cEDH DagssonAhahaha
>>96796596kino
>>96796479Whenever I see genuinely impressive MTG art it's always some old heavy hitter, never a new artist
>>96795790absolute fucking nonsense, Etali is way more likely to hit big Timmy bombs in lower brackets than in CEDH or B4
>>96796624Poole is still the best, and no one can convince me otherwise.
>>96796570>>96796592Youre retarded. The worst possible hit for etali is a LAND CARD you fucking moron. And where are you more likely to hit a land? In lower tier games where the land count is higher. And, interaction is another thing you dont want to hit. Guess what has more interaction! Low power games! The chances of hitting gas is much better in cedh>unusable combo pieceSuch as...? What "unsuable" combo piece do you think hes hitting? If he hits a counter its a counter your opponents dont have (very good!) If you hit a combo piece YOU WILL USE IT or leave if exiled so they cant. Fuck sakes youre both retarded and got your shit kicked in by a middling deck and cant accept that.
>>96796479>boros artist>green cardWAS JOTC GONE MAD?????
>>96796632WHAT BOMBS? This is fucking absurd. What ubiquitous goodstuff bombs is etali getting in low power matches? ~1/3 of low power decks are lands, much more than cedh decks so already you are more likely to hit shit. Second off low power decks are usually (USUALLY) more restricted in their card choices. Unlike the default goodstuff piles of cedh you will get tons of cards in low power that are literally only good for the deck they are in. Absolutely retarded opinion
>>96796651If you mix red and white you get green, moron
>>96796651Fun fact, Mr Boros did the art for all the guild charmsSo you have Rakdos art by Mr Boros, and Orzhov art by Mr Boros, and so on.https://scryfall.com/search?q=a%3A%E2%80%9CZoltan+Boros%E2%80%9D+charm&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name
>>96796668go back to work, hasbro employee
>>96796676It would be nice if he didn't made the boros charm
Is this deck bad? Because that one is the only one at my store, 5 decks of this still locked up for 60 bucks.
>>96796295can't read any of them, anon-kun
>>96796694SAAAAAAAR I HAVE ENERGY COUNTERS FOR YOU SAR
>>96796694it's a theme they did several times in a row from a set that bombed
>>96796532Etali sees cEDH play because he just so happens to provide good value on cast on top of his main purpose of being a infinite mana outlet for a gruul food chain shell just like every gruul cEDH commander before him.
>>96796644Please reread Etali, Primal Conqueror as there are a few key differences on the card compared to Etali, Primal Storm that make the card significantly better.
>>96796694>aerherdriftLol. Lmao even. Next you'll tell me you want a precon from the ass ugly murders at DEI manor set.
>>96796644Kill yourself now
>>96796295TimeTwister spotted
>>96796784i'm with anon in this one, timetwister is unironically one of the best cards (fun factor) to play in 4fun tables. everybody got a new hand to try and do ~la chose
>>96796798Gaslighting from someone that just went +6.
>>96796651wait until your hear about my nigga Staples doing shit cards
>>96796412Y'shtola mad we never got a Runar card
>>96796644Are you kill yet?
>>96796412Dont worry, chatGPT built the deck as well so you know its good
>>96796853Nigga gettin faded af

>>96796916heh heh helllllllllllllll yeah
What do you think of cyclonic rift

>>96796943perfectly fine cardthe only reason it's a gamechanger is only needing 1 blue to cast
>>96796965> Worse FarewellHoly white pipo cope
Hi guys, dumb question: is there any fast website or something like that where i can "save" cards or list of them for later search? there are times even here when someone plays a card didn't see before and later triying to remember i forgot where.Thanks in advance
>>96796987>is there any fast website or something like that where i can "save" cards or list of them for later search?Have you tried writing it down on some paper or perhaps a .txt file? It's what I do

>>96797094Play mageta the lion so you can bully creature based decks.
>>96796734Oh right land cards cant be hit. Which isnt really a huge ultimately. The card selection in higher power games is still better. You are more likely to steal gas from other high powered decks.
>>96797197you paid your last 2 life to boseiju. you die and everything you control ceases.
>>96797218Worth it.
pew pew
>>96797216The density of unplayables in high-power is much higher because there's a high volume of stack interaction and combo pieces (that Thoracle isn't doing much without backup). Yes the ceiling is theoretically higher (I say "theoretically" because people go through enormous amounts of mental gymnastics for including cards that really don't belong in their "casual low-power" decks), but the EV is much lower, and this is offset by often being able to reset it.
Gavin will appear at weeklymtg tomorrow and talk about the bracket system. What do we expect?
>leaf postal strike ends>just got 5 packages I ordered months ago>can't remember what cards I was replacing>can't find my notesfug
>>96797253>$60 What the helly
>>96797364he's fun and never ever being reprinted.
>>96797253Everytime I've seen this guy played he just does nothing all game then loses
>>96795961I don't put Sol Rings in my decks but I will never pretend it wouldn't make every single deck stronger if I did (hence why I don't, because I'm not a bitch). The only decks I could think of that wouldn't want it would be dedicated landfall, like Green Queen, but even then it wouldn't be a totally dead card like a normal mana rock would be.
>>96795645i used to play with a guy who ran that and he was probably the whiniest fag i have ever played with and would have like 10 mana on turn 3 and still ragequit because i doombladed it in response to him putting the myriad sword on etali and call my decks too competitive for running removal
>>96797401Sounds like the average "casual" EDH player. I've made several people scoop by simply countering part of their deck because I can't have a cool moment without molesting their entire night apparently.
>>96797401That's dumb because you want her to die
>TQLicia, Sanguine Tribune is from an unknown plane but the only reason I want that is because I think she's cool>>96795961I don't include Sol Ring in any of my decks, most of them would benefit from it except Baru, Fist of Krosa since it has tons of land ramp and cares about lands.
>>96794930It's just your store trying to fuck you. It's up for like sixty USD on Amazon.
>>96796596slavbased

>>96797945oh yes it fucking does and you can bet your ass they're going jam the set full of nuTrek
>>96797958how are you recasting your stuff when I just won? Keep up.
>>96795961Heartthull, the Worldseed. I know the precon comes with it, but I took those put and added more lands.
>>96797976*I took it and Arcane Signet out and put in more lands.
>>96797974Cyclonic Rift doesn't win the game though. Such a silly thing, I've never understood that canard. It's just as much of a defensive card as Farewell. However you win after a Rift, you could have won the same way without it. Probably more efficiently too. It doesn't help you combo. If you're going to combo it doesn't help you win. It's a card that keeps you from losing and disrupts your opponents. The only way it would help you win is by combat damage, and aggro decks don't really want Rift.
>>96795961My Tatyova deck doesn't run it. It did run Mana Crypt, but Sol Ring feels too clunky on T1 and is terrible to topdeck.

>>96798025Yeah it pretty good. Too bad for most deck being rainbow tho
>>96798012>and aggro decks don't really want Rift.Bro plz stop giving advice and go get some games inYour opinions are dogshit
UNBAN MY ZESTY ELF YOU FUCKS
Any decent youtubers to watch for a new player? I was given a couple but they all were full of obnoxious leftist stuff
>>96798056I'm willing to concede that it wins games in aggro decks. It's still a defensive card.
>>96798075I want to know if there are any open conservative channels. I'd watch them.I do like Nitpicking Nerds and MTGGoldfish Commander for the discussions, but I just know they are all lefties.
>>96798075>I was given a couple but they all were full of obnoxious leftist stuffSorry, the Soifessor is kinda the best oneYes, he platforms troons
>>96798075There are no based mtg ecelebs. They're all leftists. Closest you'll get is that quartering guy. No neutral content either, they all inject ideology. Sorry bro.
>>96798106>open conservative channelsWhat would that add? Is it cooler if your youtuber dislikes blacks instead of cops and drops references to that sometimes?
>>96798126Well for one, it's because I can trust their opinions more since it's more likely to come from a sound logically mind since they are not affected by the liberal brain-rot/TDS.
>>96798025Lands are colorless.
>>96798171You're thinking of Wastes.
>>96798184No all lands are colorless unless another effect gives it to them. Color identity is not the same as color.
>>96798193Brother, lands literally tap for colored mana. Wastes do not. I have cast Wash Out on lands hundreds of times.
>>96795581Mine are drawing my library with Jace or killing people with Mirrodin Besieged
>>96798217I'll put it this way.Color identity is this card saying he's white because he has white in his effect box. White cards might hang out in the same deck as him, but he doesn't fit in monoblack decks.Color is what his manacost and typeline state. Unless he undergoes Micheal Jackson surgery from Eight-and-a-Half-Tails, he still dies to Mass Calcify.
Bait or retard
>>96798217Yeah and I told my opponents Islands add WUBRG mana tons of times that doesn't make it the rule.
retard hours?
>>96798265Ok I looked it up. It's legit. I guess they changed that rule recently. Lame.
Yesterday ive finally won a game with my turbojank Ravenloft Adventurer, Etrata, the Silencer and boardwipe(blasphemous edict in this case) ((((combo)))). It was fun and one of the guys who lost said my deck was cool. Thanks for reading my blog
>>96798025I have been trying to shill Wash Out for over a fucking decade. Warms my heart that people are finally starting to wake up
>>96798303>>96798330massively retard hours
>>96798400What makes your combo jewish?
>>96798386>I guess they changed that rule recently. Lame.No? It's always been like this. You've been playing the game wrong
>>96798435It’s not exactly a combo since it’s very hard to pull off in just one turn alone, it’s not a (((them))) reference.
>>96798386That's how it always worked. Color identity was invented for Commander as its own thing that was always different.
>>96798386What do you mean recently? When were lands ever not colorless?
>>96798386lands have been colorless since Alpha, dipshit
>>96798217You've cheated hundreds of times lmao
imagine trying to brag that you've been cheating for many years nonstop
>>96798112Damn that sucks. Was hoping there'd be someone who just talks about the game and gives some good tips for a new player, sounds like instead its all irl reddit, which I already seem to get at the table group Im gonna be playing with. Oh well
>>96798421I am so acustomed to "NON-LAND permanents" that it just felt empty, like something was missing. Once I realised what it was I had a OH SHIT moment
>>96798458>>96798460>>96798474I looked it up. They changed it when they printed Dryad Arbor.
Yo wtf is with the singles market, I've been to 10 stores this month and nobody has a deadeye nav
>>96798573dryad arbor is just the first instance of a land inherently having color, without any other card involvedit has nothing to do with the fact that lands have always been colorless and that they can have color through other effects since alpha, retard
>>96798573No it didntIt was never that way
>>96798075I like CGB because he mostly just plays the game.Also, the collab videos he did with youtubers from other card games are unironically decent if you're a new player because they by necessity include a lot of explanations about mechanics and are a neat look into the game's history for an outsider.
>>96798600Wonder if it's a hype thing cuz the prices of two versions of it spiked up a bit. Did some ""influencer"" on youtube shill some combo or something?
>>96798075Strictly Better MTG dude is my favorite. I like to hear him talking, he does pauper content which i enjoy, and he seems like a cool, down to earth guy to be around.
>>96797149combo lines, good tutor targets, unconventional card synergies, ideal mulligans, biggest weaknesses, and matchup specific swaps
>>96798573even if it was (it wasn't), that was 20 years ago lmfao
>make a new deck >super hyped to play it >realize mid-game that several cards don't actually work the way you thought they would or just aren't good at allCan't just be me. Every deck goes through this

>>96798735Yeah I don't pay attention to that kinda stuff desu senpai
>>96798704Soulbond is a cool keyword
>>96798693>imagine not using archidekt or moxfield or whatever to solitaire your deck first before actually building it on paperit's not just you, but it's a few of you for a reason
Has anyone built a deck where all the art looks like it could have been done by the same person in the same style? I want a mono black deck in this style. Looks comfy.
>>96798756Playing my deck is testing it I ain't gonna use websites when I can hang out with friends instead
>>96798753Yeah, it's way cooler than shit like "web-slinging" or "start your engines"
https://x.com/wizards_magic/status/1980333193929658460
>>96798768yes, lots of people have built art/artist tribal decks
>>96798786fuck
I don't have a Grok account, what's it say
>>96798735isnt it just bad? you soulbond a creature, you flicker the creature, it etbs as a new creature and deadeye loses its self-flicker. so you have to flicker them both at the same time. four mana's like a lot in blue.
>>96794621Whir for Grafdigger
>>96798106The magic historian never really touches on his politics. But as a certified chud I can say I have never disagreed with his takes

>>96798799Real retard hours...
>>96798106>nitpicking nerdswew lad>mtggoldfish commanderyikesI seriously hope you are just watching them for a rage boner and dont actually follow their "advice".
>>96798456That's the thing for which quotation marks are used.
>>96798833we have a guy at our LGS who says "grafdigga" every time he plays this card and i just look at him like
>>96798753It is cool. I just question the flavor of being able to resoulbond whenever another thing enters. Seems odd to constantly rebind your soul over and over. But regardless I'd like to see it return in some way.
>>96798919god, there's someone at my LGS that does the same with Moriok Rigger. Everyone cringes every time he says it
>>96798735It's useless in cEDH and casual tables frown upon combo most of the time.
>>96798919Please dont bully him, hes just German
>>96798799Assuming you're not just trolling, you should re-read the soulbond rules. When the other creature re-enters it can re-bond with Deadeye Navigator. It's an outlet for infinite mana, it's protection, it's value with etbs and ltbs. Just an all-round solid card that can go to the max in the right deck.
>>96798833Serious question how does this interact with Animate Dead. Does AD just go to the graveyard and thats it?
>>96799046Also powercrept out by Displacer Kitten and Emiel the Blessed.
>>96798718This but unironically
>>96798972Please play games
>>96798871getting stormlight as UB and shardblades as equipment would be kinoofc sanderson would have to lawyer up this time and make it ironclad to prevent wotc from jewing it up again
I just get my cards from Amazon
>>96798857Really? He looks like a left-winger.
>>96799097Sanderson wouldnt mind if Vin were a black trans lesbian
how do you keep a simic commander down that generates explosive threats from half the creatures in the deck with 2/2 proliferates every turn but who gets like 15-20 mana a turn by turn 7-8 so he can almost always just immediately resummon him

>>96799069I imagine it fizzlesSame reason you can use shroud to fuck up voltron players
>>96799137Yes I do often run into dipshits that think everyone should memorize every card with one of the most poorly-designed keywords ever.
>>96799137You sound like the nigger in this situation
>>96797094Vigilance is an underrated keyword in B 2/3 tables
>>96799108he defended the "ub is slop for pigs" post the community was up in arms about last week. that says it all if you ask me
>>96798106Maldhound is just one bad fight over his lady friend doing OF from going super Aryan so follow him for that. Also Joe Cherries left over his theyism so at least they have that going for them.>>96798126>instead ofThis neighbor doesn't know we out here doing both.
>>96799069Fizzles and dies.It targets the card just fine but is blocked from bringing it out by grafdigger, then it dies from changing itself to enchant creature without a legal target to attach to.
How do I find a commander group. I have a deck but I don't know anyone who playsAlso I live in the middle of nowhere in Europe
>>96799233If you don't have actual IRL friends you can persuade to try the game and there isn't a gamestore or group that plays magic remotely close to you, then spelltable is your best bet.
>>96799233there's a community for getting together spelltable games
>>96799137that's why you have to read it all out loudenunciate and use your diaphragm
>>96799137Did you read the card to him
>>96799137No, there's plenty of people who respond without knowing what exactly your spells do. It can land them in a lot of trouble if you can play them right.
>>96799137>malding this hardyou should be happy that your opponent revealed his counterspell that you can now play around, retard
>>96799188>Joe Cherries left over his theyismI don't get this. Isn't Joe a flamer? Why would he leave? Isn't Beezy his best friend? Was Beezy making fun of him for being a gay or using pronouns? I'm confused.
>>96799330Joe Cherries is a huge flamer, but Beezy didn't want the channel to get that kind of attention nor did he really care about it. Plus the numbers were going up when his girlfriend starting getting up on the videos, even more so when she put on a layer of makeup. So he left while getting very pushed.
>>96798600That's why I proxy brah. I'm not wasting time chasing down cards.
>>96799368Ah Beezy didn't want the channel being woke with they/them pronouns on the screen? Gotcha. Pretty based, but Beezy is a total sperg and his now single mother wife is doing almost nudes on Onlyfans. Not very based. Divorce coming soon.

>>96799559Blew my mind the other day when I saw this is one of the most played cards in modern lmao
>>96799559>herkekw wotc's art direction got another nigga
>>96799559Turbo combo with Lotus Bloom, Copy Artifact, and Ancient DenIsn't that so much better?
>>96799578Oh, so I see. Now answer the question.>>96799576I noticed that they could get out Sol Talisman and Mox Tantalite out of the grave for W, so that doesn't surprise me.
>>96799559Build it as a lantern control deck and make everyone scoop out of pure misery.
>>96799409Chasing down is like 50% of the fun of this format
Mail call!
>>96799559The usual wincons for cEDH builds of this are:Copy Artifact + an artifact land recycling Lotus Bloom to generate infinite mana, which can then be used to generate infinite draw and then the actual kill is infinite extort with Blind Obedience (there are several variants of this combo which I will not get into)Mind over Matter + any two artifact or enchantment lands that enter untappedAlso, although it doesn't directly need the commander since you're already playing Mind over Matter you might as well also play One Ring since those two are a combo too.There's zero need to play Thoracle in that deck and it just reduces card quality.
>>96799576Yeah turns out that after MH3 you have so many good MDFC lands that goblin charbelcher combo decks are suddenly very viable. It also turns out that recycling lotus bloom with tameshi is also the best way to generate the 7 mana needed to win with belcher quickly.
>>96799701doesn't lotus bloom only give 1 mana? how is tameshi's recycling ability mana-positive?
>>96799730You're thinking of Lotus Petal retardkun.
>>96799730You're confusing it with lotus petal, lotus bloom gives 3 mana but has suspend 3 so you can either suspend it turn 1 and wait for it "fairly" (viable in modern, highly not reccomended in EDH since you only have one) or you can find a way to discard it so you can reanimate it with Tameshi skipping the suspend. You can also "cheat" it into play with whir of invention/reshape for X=0. The math then works out that you got positive two mana for every Tameshi activation, since you have to bounce a land to hand for every activation it works out similar to if you had cast a rain of filth. It's not unusual to be able to "ritual" for 10-20 mana on turns you're trying to win with this interaction, both in modern and EDH.
Cards you want to put your dick in?

>>96799841You can do a similar loop using Patron of the Moon, which is more battlecruiser-y and is pretty flavourful too I guess.
>>96799892Well you don't really win. You just make the creature decks miserable and then die to combo.

As seen, the singles in those decks are now reaching absurd prices. WOTC claims they can totally reprint them but is likely lying. This is why you should buy these precons. Because in a few years all the singles in it will be like 20+

Should cards like the Medallions be counted as mana rocks in your decks mana rock total?
>>96797401>not letting him do his thingYou're in the wrong.
>>96801552Depends on the deck.
>>96801437Like Rakdos made any sense either. Dude literally is an ancient demon with a cult dedicated to him and he's reduced to being a random member of a stupid Oceans Eleven heist. It's like they just picked random characters that they wanted to bring back but didn't have anything of substance for them to do.
>>96801876Ancient demons gotta have fun too
>>96801876at least Rakdos was a semi-popular character who showed up in the set immediately prior to becoming a cowboy. Kaervek hadn't done anything since Time Spiral.
