Repost from old thread:

I tried to make a Naya monks tribal deck with Tifa, Martial Artist as commander. I'm not the biggest Jeskai fan (I consider it a travesty the designated Monk effect is Prowess now), but all the FF monks really activated my almonds.

https://archidekt.com/decks/17138238/naya_monk_tribal

It's usually reliable to set up Tifa's trigger (i only need 2 other dudes on board before T5, or T4 if I get lucky), so I just fuck one dude's day up with 17 commander damage. Then I come in 3rd or 2nd, because I can't seal the deal.

Problems: I suck with deck building. I can't tell if I have a good mix of Monks to Cards-that-want-creatures-of-a-certain-type-on-the-field, or if it's slanted too hard in one direction.

I have to be incredibly careful not to overextend, because I have no ways to refill my hand. I'm usually sitting on an empty hand turn 8/9, which means I'm probably doing something wrong, as everyone in EDH has these fucking nutso draw engines. I tried to ameliorate this with sylvan library/abundance, but it's just not enough.

Because the monks kind of suck on their own, artifact hate/enchantment hate ruins my day. I can't tell if I should drop the global buffs for auras (umbras?)/equips; as things are now, while I can exponentially ramp up, I can be easily ramped down just as fast, and a boardwipe is hard to recover from.

I play MTGO, so the price isn't as bad as it seems for a jank deck. I think I made this for under $35, and I got that by selling old cards I had from 10 years ago for tix.

I have another Tifa, MA deck that is more balls to the wall, loads of mana dorks for reliability, commander protection focused, etc. But I wanted to make a non-Jeskai monks deck that can live without the commander, and I'm just not sure how to do it.

It's not only more than 2 colors, it's 4 colors. Wanting to do a Midrange ETB/Token focused Breya deck. Karnstructs, stuff like Reckless Fireweaver, pretty much anything that gets value the moment it touches the board and gives me tokens.
I'm having a friend who is more competitive help me build it so I don't make the list 70000 cards and completely unfocused. Asking for opinions on every card I add. I'm hoping to still find slots for funny cards like Faerie Artisans

I'll try to make this as concise as possible. first time I lost my temper at an LGS, and it just pisses me off when I'm legitimately just running a draw extra shit also here's free spells with weftwalking and dreamhalls, and I can't even keep howling mine out.

Nothing is complicated. This particular tripfag’s modus operandi is to post booted deck lists and ask for feedback so people completely blow up at him about the obviously bad choices he makes.

That’s it. That’s all there is to know.
He does this all the fucking time. He posts deck lists that are literally 200 cards long with “I don’t know what to cut :/“ and then someone looks at it and he’s put in some literal thousand dollar card that doesn’t even help his game plan

Just.
Don’t.

I will counter your Gluntch or your Bumbleflower as many times as needed. I will never be the only player benefitting from the free shit you're tossing around the table- in fact, if you're a competent player, you'll build around making more effective use of these resources then me- so why should I let you keep your commander on the board when it gives you that plus political tools to use on other players?
>>
>>96891684
Abso-fucking-lutely dude, Breya represents the culmination of everything I've ever liked in Magic in a lot of ways. I have so many things that I want to do, and she's good at so many things that it makes it extremely hard for me to tone back my aggressive artifact autism.
>>96891727
>What's so complicated
I don't want to build her with off-theme combos like Thoracle or stuff like that, if I do have combo pieces, I want them to work similar to how the rest of the deck works. Breya has so many elements I like all nestled into one broad, very colorful shell.
Back in high school, and even earlier back when Mirrodin was new, I basically fell in love with Artifacts after acquiring Sacrificial Bam and a few other theme decks from later sets in the block (the one with Broodstar comes to mind). My 60 card kitchen table deck back in HS was focused on stuff like Platinum Angel, Darksteel Forge, Master Transmuter, Arcbound Ravager, Sharding Sphinx, Mirrorworks, Grand Architect, etc. I even used to run City of Shadows, Tolarian Academy, and Tinker in it for digging out Blightsteel and Darksteel Colossi. I was around 18 at the time, in my senior year for this one in particular.
>What is midrange
From what I understand, Midrange is effectively that area before you fully abandon aggro but before you fully step into control. High value generation, stopping other value genning, and trying to just grind people to dust through constant triggers/casts until you've overwhelmed the table.
>>96891699
>he thinks I wipe
My crust is how I protect myself, my armor only comes off in the rain
>>96891846
So it's a mix of things, that's definitely on the list, but I also try to only have one archetype/color-combo at any given time. Artifacts is basically my thing, so I try to limit it to one deck as to not spread resources unnecessarily. Golbez DOES suffer that way, though. Once you get stuff like Unshakable Tail, Enhanced Surveillance, or Matoya though the brakes are off.
>>
>>96891796
Remember when he got called on this and his response was to say “a friend” bought it for him, and when asked for proof he just posted of photo of some guy with a timestamp and absolutely 0 evidence that the card had ever been purchased at all let alone by whoever the fuck he posted?

Essentially, for people who don't play other formats:
>aggro
Kill the enemy as fast as possible, nothing else matters. The example card is Goblin Guide; decks running it not only win with no cards on hand, they even feed their opponent extra cards in exchange for even more damage.
>control
Control the board and exhaust your opponent's resources until you reach a boardstate where you have total ability to decide what happens on the game; from there, anything can be the wincon; even decking out your enemy. A good example card is Wrath of God, that resets the board and deals with multiple threats on its own.
>combo
Like you said, self-explanatory. Make a combination of cards that autowins. The rest is protecting and ensuring it. Classic card is Illusions of Grandeur. It pretty much wins once you do what you want to do with it (give it to the opponent).
>midrange
Win by attrition. Slower then aggro, faster then control. You have no gameplan other then just dumping enough value on the table to win. Play whatever efficient disruption, answers and threats you can access to consistently block off your enemy in the earlygame while playing stuff that gives you more resources then you invest into it; then 2-for-1 the opponent until you have a good enough advantage to win. Example card is Fable of the Mirror-Breaker. It generates card flow, mana, and a body all in one package, creating value in all sorts of different directions to work fine in almost any game state.
>tempo
Reverse midrange. Present a powerful earlygame threat and protect it while disrupting your opponent and their plays. While you're only comfortable in a few specific boardstates, you can engineer them very consistently. An example card is Delver of Secrets: It immediately forces your opponent on the backfoot as an oversized earlygame flier and decks running it are made to make it guaranteed to transform.
>>
>>96891926
The goal of that deck isn’t to win. What I’m pissed off about are people like you. Every deck has to combo off. Has to run the same cancer value pieces. Oh is that guy playing ragnar? Must be some secret tech of fucking us over and instantly win ing. Playing this game competitively is fucking retarded.
>>
>>96891970
Felt that way when I played Heliod the Radiant Dawn. It was a jank list that attempted to win by reducing the cost of 5 and 6 mana spells in 3+ card combos. It could not win before turn 10 any time I play tested it, and it just pillow-forted until then.
I had multiple people target me because “Heliod is scary”

Yes, of course. But if one player eats all removal, and has 1 nonland permanent the entire game on average, and everyone else has 3-5 creatures and value pieces, AND 10 life while everyone has 30+, then swinging at that player, it’s not just removal. They apparently were afraid of me instantly comboing out still because I had a full hand.

Midrange is, in competitive Pokemon terms, "bulky offense" leaning towards "balance".
It's the Ryu of decks. No glaring weaknesses, performs adequately in a lot of matchups, loses when fighting another deck with a more determined pace but doesn't necessarily have to fight at that pace.

pretty much this, aggro will always turn into less true aggro and more an aggressive midrange deck by other standard's measure

Green is probably the most powerful mono color deck to build. It just doesn't come up often because there's no super busted green commanders or really much reason not to run a two or three color commander instead if you can afford the land base.

I used this as an example because blue is supposed to have "the best" draw with black as the #2, but if your commander is a mere 4 power, green draw options give you a rate better than most blue cards. Even if we look at "mid" green draw, 5 mana for 4 cards is about on-rate for blue, with much higher potential.

This seems bad? You have to target the creature and thus the draw can be stopped by just aiming removal at whatever huge beater you selected. It doesn't default to your next biggest creature to give you a smaller payoff you just get hosed.
>>
>>96892510
only if your commander is out though, blue has early game draw which green doesn't have to the same extend
there's no green mystic remora

Entering tapped is really bad
And Command Sphere is just a bad net of mana. I wouldn’t play it unless my deck had artifact synergies or could reduce its cost
>>
>>96892510
The problem is all this draw relies on a creature and as such someone can blow up that creature as a response, leaving you with either fucking nothing or way less cards then you should have drawn. Blue will just hand you the cards outright at basically any time and so will black for a minor fee.

Only Treva has a standalone deck
https://moxfield.com/decks/ZRvAVdE5A0aFozvwIbY88w
The others, including Treva, are all going to be in an old-bordered "old legends tribal" deck that I'm pretty sure will be the most expensive Bracket 1 deck in the planet--by design. It currently uses Omnath, Locus of All as the commander since most of them have three pips in the costs anyway, but that might change.

Game Changer statuses are not based solely on powerlevel; some are in that spot because they induce play patterns that are either simply miserable or that they would rather not have among low power tables. Coalition Victory is one such card; it drops and the game is over out of nowhere, which is something they don't like among alternate wincons in general; you feel like you lost simply because you didn't know enough card trivia.

This is in fact what they have done. They already stated that it's a bad alternate wincon card because these cards aren't supposed to win you the game on the spot; same reason they said Thoracle was a mistake as well (though they also noted Thoracle is a mistake for numerous other reasons). They're meant to be telegraphed, like Triskaidekaphobia, Laboratory Maniac, Call of the Spirit Dragons, etc- you put the card on the board and now you have a wincon you need to work towards.

>They already stated that it's a bad alternate wincon card because these cards aren't supposed to win you the game on the spot
but that's literally what coalition victory does
this isn't some unforeseen interaction between two cards; coaltion victory wins the game on the spot and the apocalypse devs of 2001 intended it that way
ultimately coalition victory is put on a pedestal simply by fiat - gavin said so - and this is exemplified by the fact that thoracle isn't a GC but coalition victory is
>>
>>96893184
Yes, and they have already stated the 2001 devs were wrong and made a mistake, which is why Coalition is an unfair and unpleasant card they would rather not permit in low power tables.
To put it simply, their design goal with alt wincons is that it should be obvious you're doing something weird and different that clues in your enemy this is either a combo or an alt wincon, and that they will have at least some time before it takes place. Coalition Victory's condition is "play a 5C deck" and it's immediate. So, for them, it's a design mistake they would rather not see being played because it's frustrating.
>>96893181
See, Maze's End is one such card. You need to include 10+ Gates in the deck for it to work, and Gates are generally very bad. If people see you playing heaps of Gates (which you probably should since Scapeshift is one card in 99) they'll clue in Maze's End is in the deck, since there is no reason to do this otherwise.
>>
>>96893205
Ah so it's unfair for people to "just know" Coalition Victory exists, but it's totally fair to demand people "just know" Maze's End exists and could materialize at any moment from any 10 lands.
>>
>>96893225
There is much more telegraphing with Maze's End then Coalition. If you show up with a Gates deck, people will know some shit is up, because you're playing a bunch of utterly dogshit lands; so unless you're actively misleading people as to your level of experience in the game, they're going to know some shit is up. It doesn't necessarily have to be Maze's End- they'll see "he's playing a bunch of cards that all share a type and are otherwise unplayably dogshit" and think you have some payoff to it.
>>
>>96893205
reminder that even if coalition victory was delisted from GC status it would still be banned from bracket 2 because it is a 2 card combo
so ultimately coaliton victory being delisted is for bracket 3 wherein they don't have to spend a precious GC slot, and coaltion victory pales in comparison to real bona fide GCs like prime time and emrakul (yes they will be released)
and you don't have to try to explain so hard, we all know coalition victory is there because gavin said so
>>
>>96893158
sweet for you, when its not even affecting you. im certain they dont care if its off one card
>>
>>96893243
And, obviously, Maze's End is much worse then Coalition Victory, because not only does it have the same sort of point of failure as Coalition (blow up the specific land untapper they have) it has more; you need to play a bunch of shittass lands, and if you don't want to play shitass lands you normally need to draw one more card, making it a specific two card combo (Scapeshift) as opposed to a "you win if you have the boardstate a 5C deck that is going well is expected to have and that can be attained by playing your commander once."
>>
>>96893249
Coalition Victory isnt a 2 card combo
>>
>>96893289

>>96893296
The other half of Coalition Victory isn't a specific card, it's "you have your commander out"

It's not any kind of specific card, you just need to be doing well. A 5C deck is obviously going to have all land types, otherwise it's just not going to work as a 5C deck. The requirement is "you control your commander and your deck is playable."

How is it ever going to be 95% win rate when you literally do nothing for five turns straight while three players are free to whale on you all they want?

This card should be playable in a mono white deck because you can play it for only white mana.

It should also be usable as a commander because it's a legendary creature.
>>
>>96893569
I'd assume 3 players that have been watching you do nothing for 5 turns with a cascade commander are going to have some sort of stack interaction on hand.
Or, better yet, that they'll beat you to death in the 5 turns you spent doing literally nothing.

Fuck I hate what the Phyrexian thing did to a lot of these planes. Are all of the Theros gods dead except for Ephara now?
>>
>>96893602
Supposedly yes, since the Phyrexians compleated them by going for their worshippers (single most interesting thing to ever happen in Theros to be honest) and these were presumably killed with the fall of Phyrexia .
>>
>>96893580
>all your 3 opponents run interaction
this is hilarious when you have an anon earlier arguing that coalition victory is too much for b2 haha
>>
>>96893613
Anon it's not all 3 opponents running interaction. Is you telegraphing a swing for 5 turns straight and doing nothing otherwise and nobody killing you or even getting ready for it. Come on.
>>
So what's the plan, Slivertard? Mull down to nothing trying to guarantee you have Tibalt's?
>>
>>96893613
I'd argue CA is just too much for B2 because B2 is a poorfag category and you need to dump cash to have a decent investment in your manabase for it
>>
>>96893429
>>96892827
That is insane condition for such an old card. How much did it come to?
>>
>>96893541
How is it 95% win rate? You're going to spend 5 turns doing nothing. One player can kill you in 5 turns of you doing nothing, nevermind 3. You have no interaction so you can't do shit about it. You have to wait a whole turn for the Maze to untap, so they can just unload on you with their full boards before you reach turn 6. This is a 5% winrate deck at best.

>my opponents can kill me turn 5 +90% percent of the time

And yet we only got Heliod as a compleated card. Feels like an impressive mix of missed opportunity and squandering of what elements they already had at the same time. They could have at least given the gods cards if they were going to toss them so easily off screen.
>>
>>96893638
>>my opponents can kill me turn 5 +90% percent of the time
If I do literally nothing for 5 turns straight, yes. I don't think you understand this, if they swing at you with a handful of creatures each turn you die because you left yourself completely open for 5 turns straight, and then you'll make yourself public enemy number one for 1 whole turn.

Fucking CRINGE ASS card, everytime i see it played it’s always by some retard who reads and explains the card like the table are 5 year old mentally challenged children. Always with a “hehehe look at my cool interaction that some lame ass youtuber showed to me, now all you guys are in for some action!!1!”. If you play this and think is ((((cool)))) legit kys.

>>96893653
I mean yeah the set wasn't about Theros, of course they didn't devote all that much attention to it when there were like 40 planes to make cards for. Hell, Theros got like 20 cards, twice as much as fuckin Ravnica, it got plenty of attention (attention it didn't deserve because it sucks ass, F-tier plane).

A Simic deck that leaves itself open for 5 turns straight doing absolutely nothing is in fact never an issue in any table ever. If I swing my command

you're right but also wrong because it feels like half of edh players are about as smart as 5 year olds. can't count. can't read. can't do basic threat assessment. a lot of players do actually literally need this one spelled out for them because TCGs attract a lot of retards.

Nah.

if we went back to restricting what kind of mana you can generate 90% of these arguments would disappear.
Beseech the Queen is 6 cost in any deck unable to generate black.
Hybrid mana can be played mono-white as long as you can generate the mana required to play them
If your deck can't generate white or black mana you can never pay Extort even if you steal a card with it or somehow give the keyword to non Orzhov cards.

bonus points it also nerfs treasure tokens. Cards that steal and explicitly say "mana can be spent as if it was any color" will still work but anything that doesn't you now need to be WUBRG to guarantee it works.

That shit is why I'll never support them. My LGS gives boosters as prizes for sanctioned games (and I've used bootlegs AND passed inspections with them despite them being not allowed). In the ~4 years I've been playing sanctioned events, I've gotten ONE good hit out of a booster (Agatha's soul cauldron). Other than that, the average value of boosters I won as prizes were like under a dollar each.

I feel infinitely happier by phoning up Chang for some $2 cards to build a fancy $2000 deck for liek $100 at most.

>>96894405
The failsafe is that while bootlegs do have the regular card backs, it's obvious to tell they're fake if you have a loupe. They never pass the green orb test, and they almost always fail the "teeth" test on the bottom of the letters. Even the bootleg sellers themselves say they have no interest in making cards that can pass these tests (largely for legal reasons, I assume).

Bootlegs =/= proxies. Bootlegs are intended to pass as real (same print, foil, paper, thickness, weight, etc as a real card), while proxies are much cheaper quality and obviously not real.

That being said, it's never going to be mainstream. It's like telling your friends to torrent showes/movies instead of paying for [insert streaming service here]. You'll get some combo of "idk how to do that" and "omg but that's a crime!!!".People here though should be smart enough to understand buying """official cardboard""" is a scam though.

If you shit on obvious proxies and prevent people from using them then the likely outcome isn't that they begrudgingly buy 1000 dollar cards or quit. Instead they'll just buy ultra-convincing counterfeits to fool you. Instead of some anime slop proxy with "PROXY" printed on it.

I don't think you understand that post. They don't need to change the reminder text and even on borderless reprints it still functions identically.
If you are INCAPABLE of ever generating white or black mana, you can never pay Extort. It doesn't matter if you use a full art reprint, the actual keyword still requires you pay in either white or black mana....if your commander doesn't let you generate white or black mana it's bricked for you. This is already how mana generation used to work in the format, that post is saying we should go back to that rule.

You're utterly delusional if you think chinese forgers give a single shit about this, there's a reason they're constantly working to improve fake PSA slabs or why people were using the method to open slabs without breaking them to extraxt 10s and replace them with lesser cards or fakes.

See I'd buy that argument if we were talking about something like a fancy sportscar or whatever, because at least a fancy sportscar is something that requires dedication and expensive components to make. Meanwhile a piece of cardboard doesn't have any fucking value. At the end of the day it's some ink on paper that anyone can make on their own, and the only thing that "prevents" this is pinkertons.

I think you need to go back and re-read the entire conversation anon>>96894272
>if we went back to restricting what kind of mana you can generate 90% of these arguments would disappear.

IN YE OLDE DAYS, the Mana you were capable of generating was limited to your commander's actual casting cost and you could never generate mana of other colors. If you would somehow generate mana of a color you didn't have it got filtered to colorless.

Thus, if you were playing a mono-red commander for example, you could never pay the Extort price for any cards you stole or somehow got the keyword on.It has nothing to do with reminder text or not. The actual rules of Extort are "Whenever you cast a spell, you may pay {W/B}. If you do, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain life equal to the total life lost this way."

If your deck cannot generate white or black mana and any attempts to do so result in colorless, you can never pay for Extort. This is how the game used to work, that post is saying we should return to those rules.
>>
>>96894526
The point is that they want to know WHO gave you the wrong think
>>
>>96894555
nobody is buying real P9s for sports car prices though, why bring up that point?
yes these are just cardboard, but remember that you're a nerd that is willing to spend some money on other nerd things like gaming had mtg not existed - what does it matter what the hobby is made out of, whether it's cardboard or pixels or whatever? - so the prices of cards align to the normal expenditures of the average white single male nerd accordingly
i'm not defending wotc and their pinkerton shit btw, just saying how the economics of luxury things work
>>
>>96894522
Because if youre a lazy fuck who cant afford cards you probably dont deserve to have fun. My goodness, things cost time, which in our society is money! Yeah it sucks but the alternative is chopping down trees yourself, grinding them up into pulp, making paper (which yours would be dogshit) and then making ink etc. Fuck sakes. You pay for people's labor, you arent above it. Just like you want your labor paid for. Kill yourself you retarded fucking zoomer. Life itself is pay to play.

Youre retarded anon. The money goes to pay the people I mentioned and we can simply look at the revenue of both companies to see this 0.1% number youre throwing around is retarded. Everything that isnt profit goes back to compensating people's labor. Some of that labor may be more abstract in your mind but it is all associated with the cost of designing printing and shipping magic sets. Kill yourself retarded zoomer. This is how everything works in existence. Nothing is worth what its base material cost is for a myriad of reasons.

I am stunned by the stupidity of some people honestly. The value of this card can only go down as the other infinite stones are printed. Its effect isn't even good, so it's being bought just because its a rare print, but its print becomes less rare when 4 more cards in that cycle come out
If any of the stone are better than Soul, it drops in value too.
