You were told last thread, youre not going to convince anyone to stop caring about hybrid mana by telling them they should have cared about previous things first.
It’s not a logically coherent stance to say that the game getting worse now is okay because the game got worse previously. If you really thought previous things had made the game worse you would also be opposed to the current thing

haunted just works too well with token and artifact saccing. I won a lot of games by saccing half my table with warren soultrader, then saccing the treasures I got from it, which can easily net 20-30 damage to all opponents, who will all be pretty low by then from the skeletons. also possible with sac outlets + Mahadi or Pitiless Plunderer.
aristocrats tactics also help once your opponents try drop board wipes.

not a single hybrid mana card is remotely as close to as powerful as most of the ~top 50 commonly played cards in EDH. Nevermind the part where the change literally benefits thematic monocolored decks the most who now have access to effects always meant to be playable in monocolor, while 5-color WUBRG slop commanders are literally unchanged, and 4 color and 3 colors likely already had access to 90% of the ones they're wanting to play.

There's no universe where bitching about Double Cleave being playable in Akroma, Angel of Wrath makes sense when Partner is already giving people 4 colors plus permanent card advantage, and cards like Sisay and Kenrith are mono-white permanents with mono-white casting costs who are immune to shit like null elemental blast who nevertheless count as WUBRG and give access to every single card in the game

Harmonic Prodigy. I didn't realize it but that's a very effective card with Gut and Agent Of The Iron Throne. Backgrounds give the commander the ability so it would double the triggers from it too. That's a good call.

I have 4 different game stores nearby, and they are all really packed on 4 different days - each time I play at them with different people, it's unenjoyable salty people, or people are just pissed off. I played a game where my arcane signet was countered, and I was just mana screwed and chilled out on my phone, everyone was just miserable. I went to the my first magiccon this year, and the pick up commander games were so much fun, at all levels. I want to keep playing but maybe I should take a break.

I very deliberately did not say what side of the argument I'm on. You want to read my post as vagueposting as pro-hybrid, that's on you.

I'm just lamenting that the people on my side are really fucking bad at making their case.

To be clear; the arguments on the other side? Also fucking awful. Absolute fucking nonsense with shifting goalposts. It's just that the people who agree with me are failing to convince me, a guy who already agrees with them.

There are basically three possible factors that go into picking a UB set.

Factor one: is this someone at WotC's favorite thing? This is why we got Dr. Who (Gavin is a huge Dr Who Fan), it's how we got Final Fantasy (a bunch of the designers/developers are big FF Fans), it's why we wound up with Spider-man (Mark Rosewater loves superheroes, especially Marvel.)

Factor two: Money. Can WotC use this to turn on the money printer? I feel like a good chunk of the smaller UB products like the secret lairs are just this. WotC trying to put in a small amount of effort to make a quick buck.

Factor three: Hasbro wants them to. This was more common early on, but it's still there. The Walking Dead (the TV show specifically )has some connections to Hasbro which is why that happened. WotC owns D&D which is why that happened (including to promote BG3). Hasbro owns Transformers so here they are, getting crowbarred into The Brother's War.

I tried to keep the bullshit down by excluding some of the more ridiculous draw staples. my friends just couldn't beat the deck. it's currently a constant work in progress, this is version 9, and I'm thinking about taking it either more towards a budget build or focus more on treasures and see were it leads me.

>it's unenjoyable salty people
edh is the least competitive format but attracts the most insufferable players because of that. the same way Smash Bros players are infinitely worse to deal with than somebody into like Soul Calibur or Virtua Fighter.
If you want a chill time either play with close personal friends, or a format like Pauper. People who ONLY play EDH are also the single worst people to play magic with ever, because they've never done a 60 card format they take a casual multiplayer format way too seriously, and they think having a "better" EDH deck makes them more skilled.
people used to 60 card magic and actual competitive bo3 formats with a sideboard are way less of a pain, because A: they know that "better" decks and stronger cards aren't inherently more fun, the vast majority of constructed players don't play Vintage or Legacy and instead play Modern or Standard or something like Pauper or Penny Dreadful BECAUSE they're lower power than Legacy/Vintage, and B: because they're used to an actual competitive format they know not to take EDH seriously. Being multiplayer, best of one, and with no sideboards already makes it a joke from a competitive perspective, let alone all the other aspects of the format. It's meant to be a casual beer and pretzels experience and taking it seriously is retarded

>>
>>96841047
You are sadly correct.
While "Copy" is a word that gets thrown around and could mean spells in other situations.
You are targeting a permanent, and using a Copy ability.
Twinning specifically looks at "spells" ie "Cards that are cast through some method and are currently on the stack."

This is why I've really hate using the phrase "spell" for years now.

If creatures enter with +1/+1 counters from some effect, do triggers that care about power/toughness see those counters or do they only see base P/T?

>>96841322
see the counters, though there are edge cases where a creature enters and then has counters put on it as part of one action. but generally a feral hydra being cast for x=4 will enter and give you a card draw from garruk's uprising.

Instead of copying D&D's regeneration, Trolls should have been the anti-Nymph, dark and violent reflections of fey. With Nymphs you have several types. Naiads are freshwater. Dryads are forests. Oreads are mountains and grottoes. Oceanids are the ocean. You could do the same with trolls. Bog Troll, Cave Troll, etc.

But what would be their 'thing' if not regeneration? I see a trolls presence being a blight to the land instead of a loving warden, like nymphs.

It's not 95, but it's probably the majority at this point. Earlier hybrid mana costs were a bit inconsistent with treating it as "Something that could be mono X or Mono Y" but they made a more conscious decision to treat them like that at some point. That isn't to say they're ALL like that now, just that that that's the intention.
And unironically the reason why a lot of hybrid cards are kinda unusable right now, at least in EDH, is because they currently have "Both" instead of "Either" as color identities and often times you can find a multicolored card that does what a hybrid card does, but better in the same colors.

That's weird but I think you're right. I would think there would be more exploration they could do with dwarves that wouldn't be stepping on the toes of goblins. I wouldn't considering dwarfs swarming the board the way goblins do for instance. Or sacrificing each other easily and constantly. Feels like there should be some room for the two to exist.

Not yet, I'm still in the goldfishing phase to refine the deck to the point where it feels like the right power level. I think my usual playgroup will like her, usually anything that forces everyone to play differently than they normally do is seen as refreshing. I'm also trying to include some stuff that can be spun as group hug-ish to politic away the violence, as well as plenty of goad and fogs in case that doesn't work.

I think it could work, but defense isn't really the red playstyle. I think it could go Goblins are offensive, Dwarves are defensive. Goblins destroy, Dwarves create. Goblins are warriors, shamans, rogues. Dwarves are warriors, artificers, and soldiers. Goblins are about self-destruction if it also harms the enemy, Dwarves are careful and conservative with how they approach problems. Dwarves wouldn't have cards like Goblin Miners, where they kill themselves to destroy a wall, Dwarves are brave but they don't self-harm.

The color is what makes dwarves weird to me. Some dwarfs we do have are white/red, I think that fits them better than just being red. They don't fit the 'vibe' of red, outside of living in mountains. They're white through and through. Law, order, community.
>>
>>96842491
Red DOES have some of those aspects, namely that's less a color of pure destruction (That's more black's thing) and more a color of change. THE color of change in fact. And change can be both creative or destructive in nature.

She's about as direct as one could ask and maintains good consistency because her gimmick involves running all the draw discard you can fit and running people over with her.

WTF?
>>
>>96842607
I do think that a it's going to end up overhyped, people will end up trying it out, realize it's kinda ass outside decks that could already run it, and the price will go back down (Though still above what it was originally)
Six mana for a conditional tutor is ROUGH
>>
>>96843045
I remember that Telepathy used to be a serious staple a long time ago, though I have no idea if it's still that way now.
>>
>>96843045
I mean, I get it. CEDH is strikingly similar to legacy/vintage, and they let you know if a specific individual can prevent you from comboing off that turn. And it's not like you don't have space for 'em in your deck.
>>
>>96843045
Seeing a dude's hand is fun, but seeing a dude's hand in a format where winning can be one combo away can be lifesaving I'm sure.
>>
>>96843045
Unironically the main driving force is how much of cEDH is people trying to politic for a draw. This and Telepathy makes it so if they don't have it you instantly shut them up.
>>

Zamn, just spotted this in your list. This is great for my Baral and Kari can't believe I never saw this one before
>>
>>96843110
Yeah and glasses of Urza has been getting more play precisely because of that reason. It's funny how people complain about the role of table politics in casual EDH but it's much worse in cEDH.
>>
>>96843045
>>96843235
Yet more proof that jewlotus dockside and crypt shouldnt have been banned
The faster cedh is the less likely it becomes a drawfest

I basically cannot run any card which targets another player at all (spot removal , mill effects like Jasper Flint) heck even combat damage is dicey. My play group at the LGS is all full of vengeful retards who will hyper focus the first person to target them with anything at all. How to manage this?
>>
>>96843269
Maybe, but people were already realizing the importance of politics then already, they just weren't as open about it. Back then people were still trying to pretend that cEDH is a proper cardgame but then more and more stories of top cEDH players basically doing nothing but manipulating and bullying people to win and then people basically admitted that, as everyone already knew, cEDH is actually just a game about politicking.
>>
>>96843275

things you are grateful of in mtg?
I'll start, I'm grateful that:
>crypt, dockside and jew lot is still banned and will never ever not be
>etali is not banned and never ever will be
>>
>>96843045
I remember that anon a few threads ago who said he had a friend who plays the glasses in every deck, and will fetch them off Saga 100% of the time just to look at everybody's hands and send them on tilt.
>>
>>96843306
The only card you listed there that 100% should be banned is Dockside. Crypt is debatable, Lotus should come off the banlist asap
>>
>>96843283
Also correct
Cedh is pretty much a mexican standoff, so why prolong it any further? cedh will always be like classical chess where draws are just that much more likely to happen but it'll help a lot to get a winner when when more decks can pop off t1 more consistently
>>
>>96843311
Crypt should be banned
All cards with Mox in the name should be blanket banned
>>
>>96843311
>Lotus should come off
I agree. Unban Black Lotus. It's just a one-time burst of mana.
>>
After years of extensive research, I think this guy looks like the most fun UB commander for me. Say something nice about him
>>
>>96843312
At this point the draw mentality is so ingrained that I don't think even speeding the format up again would help. One of the things that made me lose interest in cEDH was watching tables agree to draws after suicide pacts of negation stopping turn 2-3 combo attempts.

You know sometimes I think the average person voicing their opinion online isn't completely retarded, then I hear opinions like "Banning Rhystic Study would completely kill midrange and render my $8000 cEDH deck worthless because there's no way to draw cards in sans red."
>>
Do you really believe WotC is suddenly pushing for the rule change for hybrid mana cost because of the new Lorwyn set? These sets are designed months and years in advance. The cards are already printed. The Lorwyn commander decks with off-color hybrid cards are already printed. Which would mean that they don't care what we think about the change, they will just do it.

They shouldn't care anyway because the only people opposed to the change are retarded anyway.

Its not an illogical assumption. The presence of new hybrid cards wpuld cause someone to think about this sort of thing

So better than the time white got a token tripler.
>>
>>96843604
Yes. I feel the color pie breaking apart every time a monoW deck tries to make a bunch of tokens.
>>
>>96843574
I don't think they actually printed off-color hybrids since the Wither deck is the only deck where it would matter and all -1/-1 counters matter effects are in red, black and green meaning any good hybrid will have to be in those colors.

I think the issue would come up either way. I do think there's a lot of internal pressure from WotC for this, but hybrid mana was already a lingering topic in EDH for a long time, and an entire set with hybrid mana as a major theme would have inevitably caused it to resurface.
and well, we probably know who wears the pants here, given that vehicles got pushed through for EOE despite nobody asking for it, or really caring.

Wotc is hungry for design space and hybrid gives that, it also makes business sense to allow more cards into the format; it's not a coincidence that gavin said in the most recent livestream he's pro unbans
With that said expect more cards being put as GCs (emrakul, prime time) and more powerful staples to be put to GCs (*cough* mana drain)

These are the only off color hybrids worthy of being reprinted so it would be better to wait and make mono color variants rather than act impulsively. The more likely explanation is Lorwyn will have a lot of hybrids in popular tribes so people would be disappointed they can't play a w/u merfolk in their GU deck.

the first guy was playing norin the wary, and he literally could not be targeted.
All I could do was slow our deaths by forcing him to sacrifice an enchantment that decreased the damage we took every single turn from 6 to 3 dmg.
I understand there are within the game things that COULD have helped us, but nothing we could realistically have been expected to use or do.

>>96843761
2nd guy played krrik and combo'd off, lost and gained about 80 life and drew 70 or so cards until he found the "i gain life you lose life" and "you lose life I gain life" cards and played them, then we died. we removed as much of his board as we could, but we were tapped out without any more removal on hand.

yeah, I concluded (after seeing all of the damn cards he played in a single turn) that it was bracket 4, the rest of us were solid brackets 2 and a weak bracket 3. I let bygones be bygones since he's a very good guy otherwise, and the game was over "quickly" - only thing that rubbed me wrong was wrapping up after that win, like we couldn't just play 1 more normal games within the same bracket.

>>96843793

Getting lands and the "it goes in every deck" cards like TOR, Mana Vault, and so on is a bitch, but it pays off in the end due to their universal applicability. Or just do the smart thing and proxy/bootleg them. No one will know if you get good fakes and double sleeve them.

>>96843958
You should be proxying the big stuff, like full art foil fetches and shocks. This coincidentally also helps cover up the issue between black and blue core from a light test.

If I was crazy rich and had the space, I would have a minor library of playmats, looking like an antique chinese library with shelves of scrolls to be unrolled and played upon depending on what deck I was playing... same thing with different colours of dice, and sleeves of course.

I like to also psychologically make them averse to killing me off by reminding them that if I'm the only person left at the end I have to choose myself as "other target player" whenever an opponent plays a spell.

>>96844454
Depends on how much your deck values hand knowledge
If you've got combo lines and you need to somewhat reliably find out if they have it, sure
Glasses, Telepathy, Urza's Saga, Trinket Mage and that's effectively 4 copies of the effect already for minimal investment.

cards that just give you as many cards as you lost are fine (is that a "wheel" effect? like when you discard 3 cards and draw 3 cards?)
losing what you were trying to hold on to or saving might be suboptimal, but at least you're given an option and a chance. discard is just plain boring, letting you sit and wait with nothing but your topdeck.

When you get handripped, all the decision-making goes to the person doing the handrip because they have information on your entire hand + take the best option. There's functionally no agency for the person on the receiving end because they're in a far worse position for no tradeoff.

technically not true
it's the discard player who's down because he spent mana while you didn't, which is unlike counterspells and removal where both players spent mana
only noncasuals understand this
>>
>>96845022
I don't mean where they can use your stuff, just where you are forced to discard (but also draw cards). from all discard stuff, that's the only one I "condone" mentally.
>>
>>96845030
The discard player is choosing the option they take away + gaining hand information. They are effectively trading the worst card in their hand and 1 mana for the best card in your hand. If it wasn't an insanely good effect it wouldn't be run 4x in every Legacy deck with black.

Thoughtseize alone is pretty much the upper limit for how strong discard can be in Magic (and even then, Thoughtseize was a very controversial card when it released), and you would really be pushing the envelope making it even stronger to give it a push to Commander where it now reveals 3x information.

>>
>>96845078
>and you would really be pushing the envelope making it even stronger to give it a push to Commander where it now reveals 3x information

thoughtseize is extremely less powerful in commander, you're putting yourself and an opponent down one card versus two opponents unaffected and are only revealing 7 out of 21 cards in opponent hands. making it 3x is just making it as powerful as 1v1 (still down 1 mana versus opponents, but whatever).

New player here, started with Final Fantasy and went all in, bought all 4 precons and a FF play booster box.

Was the play booster box a waste of money since I've ended up mostly playing commander?
I've played about 30 games and I'm still quite happy just swapping between my unmodified precon decks so far, should I just ignore the boosters when the next set that strikes my fancy is released?

Absolutely. Proxies are not legal.

Pretty much what most people do unless you're SUPER into a ton of the set's cards. I haven't bought any boosters in like 12 years, I only buy the random singles that would upgrade my current decks/be a part of a list of a new deck

Buying boosters is largely a waste unless you plan on using the boosters themselves as a game piece (draft, sealed, etc)
You generally just want to buy singles, as it will always be a better monetary choice than buying packs.

That said, you have a booster box, you may as well use it. Even if you play largely commander, you can still find a use for them and the cards within. Look through your cards, see if there are any legendaries in there that catch your fancy, and try to use the box to make a commander deck. You may need to buy some singles anyways to fill it out for stuff like lands and staples like sol ring and such, but you should be able to make something out of it. That and you can trade cards in and out of your precons with stuff you got in them.

I recently tried my friend's Hylda, and the massive amount of interaction you get was pretty fun. You don't just tap single creatures, half of the kit was tapping multiple creatures every turn.

>>
>>96845708

>>
>>96845533
for your first steps into deckbuilding, just google "(name of commander) deck list" and look what others are using, then find some different lists and compare them and choose what you wanna include in yours.
you might make some bad calls, and that'll appear once you play the deck. then you can see that you included too little card draw, too little interaction, too many lands et.c. and adjust. that's a fun part of deckbuilding, feeling the deck improve and become better.

It makes complete sense to me. The design team's rules are that hybrid cards are supposed to do things the color pie allows either cost to go while gold cards are supposed to do things neither cost could do alone.
If you run hybrid cards that only partially meat your commander's color identity the effects of those cards are still within the portion of the color pie you should have access to.
In >>96837263's example, something the color pie allows for generic mana is doing awkward effects at a bad rate.

according to the rules of the game merfolk of the depths is a green/blue multicolored card and can be red elemental blasted, even if it was cast for green mana. It does not belong in a monoblue deck. Also, the real issue isn't this random dogshit card you posted to downplay the impact of the change, but all of the pushed generic slopcards that WOTC is going to put in lorwyn. They're doing this to sell you more cards, not because they think it'll make the format better

Sam's Club started selling prepackaged bundle things that come with a Duskmourn, EOE, and foundation play booster, some shit promo, and a Duskmourn commander deck for 50. In case anyone wants to search Sam's Clubs for Endless Punishment.

When has that ever not been the case?

how is this relevant? theft is good and gets splashed

Tonnes of decks with access to red or red/green will randomly toss in either or both of the Etalis, especially if they're decks that care about casting from exile.

if you guys count casting people's cards from their libraries as theft then ok i guess
i've always thought of theft as taking something already known on the battlefield is all

you can still cook up something nice with her

>>96846274
tell me about scorpion god, how does he like to win?
>>96846282
definitely, with my retarded friends, she's effectively a draw 3 every turn commander, but I absolutely need red for what I want to do

>don’t derive pleasure for violating the boundaries of others
bro it's a pvp card game lmao do you consider getting counterspelled or board wipes a "violation of boundaries" too? Is anything that stops you from playing solitaire to combo off a "violation of boundaries"? Holy fuck I'm half convinced this is a straw man shit post but I've seen actual edh players with this view so it might be real

AIIIIIEEEE IS THAT AN AGGRO DECK TURNING CREATURES SIDEWAYS TO HIT MY FACE? NOOOO MY BOUNDARIES PLEASE LET ME BE GREEDY AND INTERACTIVE YOU'RE VIOLATING MY RIGHTS!!!!!!
>>
>>96846274
>Koma
>interaction
it's a borderline voltron where the only interaction you need is spells that protects Koma or your board, blue counterspells and green "make hexproof/indestructible"
It's one of my favourite decks because bluegreen ramp into pumping out big spells is fun (I don't like landfall and really don't like general blue fuckery with other players, just the card draw + protection aspect it grants me)

According to the rules of the game, Kenrith is a mono-white permanent who cannot be Null Elemental Blasted despite being a WUBRG five color slop commander.

According to the rules of the game, you can play Felonious Rage which generates blue and white multicolored permanents that CAN be null elemental blasted in a mono-red deck

Anyone have any fun ideas for a red/white focused warrior OR samurai OR equipment deck?

You aggro in with your creatures and you use blood artist effects to benefit of the death triggers..

What? Casting stifle, just puts another norin trigger on the stack.
