>REAL TQ REPORTING INWhat is your most hated (current or upcoming) UB and why?
>>97086762>What are you brewing?Mono black vampires
>TQMonarch matters for a proxy deck with him as the commander
>>97086771>>REAL TQ REPORTING IN>What is your most hated (current or upcoming) UB and why?Spiderman / MarvelSoulless IPs
>TQ A shrine spirit deck
>>97086762>TQNaya tap matters. Reaping benefits off tapping for station, survival, crew/mount, tapping for mana or convoke. Leaning towards Kitt Kanto since she lets you tap two of your creatures per turn.
>>97086762>TQWorking on Jetmir right now. Planning to build a deck for each of Capenna's five families and he's my current focus. After him I'd have Raffine and Xander left. But I don't plan to get to those for a while. Right now I need to iron out and smooth out Jetmir and tune up Falco.
>>97086762OP here im reworking the old Who deck obviously. I can't tell if picrel is worth it. Probably if I had ways to sac it. But a 0 cost flash artifact is rare
>>97086829As someone who did exactly that I will warn you right now Xander is a rough ride compared to the other four. None of his triggers are ever as good as you want them to be and being 7 mana doesn't do him any favors.
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>97086780>NOT FOR SALEDONUT STEAL
>>97086762>TQafter a few iterations, i decided to reduce colors of my +1 counters deck. at this point its very low on interaction and focuses more on protection
>>97086762
>>97086843Yeah I've been dreading that one. The rest each feel like they have specific game plans while still being open enough that you can branch out, but Xander doesn't. He's a strange mix of discard, mill, and sacrifice stuff. But that feels like it would be spreading your deck thin and I have trouble expecting that to work too well. Maybe just the discard and mill stuff with sacrifice just being a retaliatory thing. I'm unsure yet. I do know I'm going to need to be loaded up to the gills in mana rocks to be able to get him out with any consistency and that's a whole other issue on top of everything else. Just going demon or vampire tribal seems like the easiest out but that doesn't really feel in theme.
>>97086895Yep that's about the gist of it. It's a difficult, pretty incoherent build and you'll have to tune the crap out of it to make it any fun to play.
I'm gonna do itI'm gonna cut a land
>>97086762this is a mtg cardlet that sink in
would you pay 4 for a 4/4 that increases counters by 1
>>97087000GOOD NOW DO IT AGAIN
>>97087048It's just some bitch in the mountains. Honestly with her outfit and card type she could just be from CapennaNow, if you want to bitch....
>>97087050Maybe. Don't forget because of earthbending the 4/4 is one that has improved persist.
>>97086762>OP
>>97087082>she could just be from Capennawas there a lot of bitching about 1920s era stylings when capenna dropped?
>>97087194
>>97087000>never cut a land for all I can remember>think deck is performing a bit poorly>check land count and devotions>34>no idea how this happened since I always start with 36 and only cut if the curve is low and this one isn'tapparently it happens by itself so be careful. the worst feel is to cut a spell that you thought was supposed to be there
>come home from game night>find 5 cards from my deck on the floor>had been playing with 5 missing lands all night>still won 2 gameswoops
How are the new ascensions?
>>97087194Not that the anime cards in WoE or Foundations are any better than UB, they are literally proxy tier.
>>97087308haven't tested them but I feel the only worth while is the firebender one. green is a bit underwhelming, blue is slow, >white lmao and I can't remember the black one
>>97087308Ironically this is really good with firebending >>97087351Earthbending one is playable because earthbending is good but scarce and it synergizes well. But it's not an exciting cardFire bender one is also goodAirbender one is good because it's a fucking conjuring closet
>>97086771>real tq>its just market research for WOTCNo thank you.>>97086762Been working on Ko or whatever the dumb mono black bitches name from Avatar is. Only interesting build around in the set really.
>>97086780Genuinely looks godawful anon>>97087308All of them are very good. The worst is green followed by blue. Red and white are the best.
>>97087393>Been working on Kohaaaaaaaannd it's sloppa combo with that ooze and triskelion/mikaeus
>>97087474>something that never even crossed my mind because im not a turbofaggotThat sounds really gay anon. You might be a turbofaggot sorry to break it to ya.
>>97086780Hell fucking yeah.My Kichikuou Rance proxy was Caesar. Just felt like the right colors and abilities for him.
>>97087508>first thing that comes to "her" mind are faggotsthis is what happens when you are raised without a father figure
>>97087508It funny and quite a bit revealing how often a poster has an innocent deck idea and a schizo anon IMMEDIATELY thinks about a bunch of fucking combos and shit. Like, really nigga? I have always believed and it has borne out repeatedly, that the sort of things that you believe people might do, are the things you will do, given the right circumstances. And it's plenty revealing that, given how unhappy so many anons are with their playgroups/LGS, so many suggestions for decks is turbofaggot combo strategies. Also pretty funny how, despite so many of them complaining about how bad their fellow players are, instead of lowering their powerlevel to accommodate with their fellow players, decide to crush them even more to "teach" them, then get surprised when they just either focus them down every game, refuse to play with them anymore, or simply refuse to engage.>>97087532No, the fact that the first thing a person think of is slop combi IS turbofaggotry and pointing it out doesn't make someone gay. What IS gay is being obsessed with trannies.
>>97087532>say something gay>be called gayNo amount of Jewish worldplay can turn this around in your favour lmao
Since monoblack aggro naturally includes a lot of deathtouchers, this is actually a pretty good alternative to whip of erebos.The deck only has 14 deathtouchers but it's not unusual to get 3-4 of them onto the field and start swinging. It's a decent chunk every combat.
>>97086771All UB fucking sucks.>>97087606>a pretty good alternativeESL detected. The effect isn't even equivalent. Also redundancy is important for a solid deck strategy.
>>97087727>ESL detectedWhat? He gave his reasoning for why it is in his mind a decent alternative, and it adds up. Its also written fine? You should go to therapy or find Jesus.
Some people use their commander decks to express themselves... how do I let others know I want goth gf?
>>97087852avacyn
>>97087852Play nothing but Vampires. Make sure to proxy all the male vampires into Big Titty Goth Mommies, so than it's unmistakable what you desire. Alternatively, play Teysa.
>>97087727>ESL detected?>The effect isn't even equivalentBut it is very cheap (money) which was the main reason I don't just run Whip of Erebos. All I really needed was a way to gain decent quantities of life through combat, which is what a monoblack aggro list would naturally lean into.>Also redundancy is important for a solid deck strategyI fully agree. I'm working with what I have and this is one of the better options compared to things like picrel that also made the list.This is in reference to a post I made at the tail end of the last thread, for the record. Not as a response to anyone in particular, just putting my thoughts onto paper so to speak.
Exactly how much alcohol consumption is appropriate (or necessary) before commander night?
>>97087929I don't drink, so none.
>>97087929One beer before each game.
>>97087874>>97087875Thanks anons, it seems all those ideas would nicely tie to wbr mardu decks, either angels (with Avacyns), vamprires or humans (with Teysa and possibly Thalia, Magali Villeneuve can draw such pretty women). Any suggestion for big titty goth mommy Edgar and Sorin?
>>97086762>TQJust wrapped up a Toph, Greatest Earthbender deck and a Fire Lord Azula deck, I think both are strong 2s or weak 3s at best. I have the cards picked out for a Krenko deck but haven't put it together yet - I only intend on playing it for "tribal only" games, or to fulfill my commander bucket list point of having a game where every player plays Krenko.>>97086807All of the Avatar shrine cards have made me wanna put one together as well. Down the line though. >>97087050That card did great things for me in my last Toph game, coupled with other +1/+1 enablers. On its own, making a 4/4 out of whichever land you have out at the time (Rumble Arena is optimal due to vigilance, but I also heavily recommend Radiant Fountain and Adventurer's Inn - both enter untapped, tap for colourless, and give you 2 life when they enter. If they keep entering from earthbending being removed the life you gain racks up quite quickly.
>>97087727>antiubfags are also the insufferable poopdickschizo fagsWow I'm sure surprised!
>>97087929commander drinking games are quite fun, assuming everyone is playing quite weak decks (2 or lower)>1 shot each time you cast your commander>each time you draw a card, take a sip>for each 5 player damage taken, take a sip>if you take 10 or more damage at once, take a shotplayed by these rules with quite weak shots (12,5%) and still got sloshed within 2 games hi hi hi
>>97088048I forgot one:>each time you take damage, take a sip(in addition to "10 damage at once = shot" and "for each 5 damage taken take a sip")
>>97088003I will bite - how to use this squirrel effectively? 1/1 is easily blockable, and with this kind of abilities it will eat exile spell. How do you protect your squirrel and get the desired draw?
>>97087984Post your Toph deck? I need inspiration
>>97087297Kek, the same has happened to me, Couldn't figure out why
You don't always have it.
What are 133 card deckboxes for? I get that smaller boxes are for formats with less cards, and 100 card deckboxes are for commander, but what about 133?
>>97088087Tokens I would assume
>>97087956>Any suggestion for big titty goth mommy Edgar and Sorin?the Voerman "sisters" (would be better as a transforming card obviously)Lady DimitrescuEliza (Tekken)Carmilla (castlevania or picrel)Kiss-ShotMira (Killer Instinct)Rip Van Winkle or Post-finale SerasBloodrayneVampirella
>>97088048aah yes, i remember being 17 and having my first go at liquor.good for you anon!
>>97088087100 card deckboxes are for 75 card decks and tokens, a 133 card box would make more sense for commander, especially if you're multisleeved
>>97088059>I need inspirationEDHREC is amazing for this.
>>97088057You give it hexproof and slap a Lure on it, problem solved. Anons don't really try to think here, do they?
>>97088057you draw for every creature that gets damage in, they would have to choose to block the indestructible 1/1 over your actual threats
>>97088087Double sleeved cards, tokens, maybe dice.
>>97088087Sideboard.
>>97088113Thanks but I was hoping to see a functional deck
>>97087940This.
All this stupid landfall support is turning green players into izzet players.
>>97088213green players are much worse than izzet players at remembering their triggers
Is The Ur-Dragon the best monored dragon commander option?All the other dragon commanders are either super expensive dragons in the command zone (they're hard to cast anyways, why put a commander in that I cast once then gets removed) or are basically just worse ur-dragon like Nogi
>>97088059You got me to finally sign up for moxfield so I wouldn't have to type the list out in a post here.I'm especially fond of Toph's X earthbending scaling with the commander tax. https://moxfield.com/decks/bttmxdwd9EyxNdWUVsVslASuggestions for improvements are welcome, I think a couple of the spells and lands should or could be replaced with things that work better or are less situational.
>>97088293Play Scion instead, far more interesting dragoncommander
>>97088293Zirilan and Dragonhawk are the most consistent. i suppose zirilan is cheating though, being a viashino and allsorry, lizard
>>97088311scion is just a reanimate combo deck with built in protection
>>97088095Good taste in vampire girls. Keep your blood tasty.
>>97088311How do you run Scion of the Ur Dargon in monored?
>>97088308Interesting list, why did you choose her instead of hardheaded teacher?
>TQ
In regard to card design, I still think this is one of the best.
>>97088410Due to >Lands have doublestrikeand>Increasing commander tax means a bigger earthbending each time you recast herI am very fond of commanders that reward you for recasting them, it makes removal feel a little better.
>>97086762>What are you brewing?Mono white banding. I'm not including any UB cards or post-FIRE designed cards. I'm also including every white card with banding+old school serra angel, as a sign of respect to back in the day whenit was still considereda bomb. It's a struggle to make it not completely terrible. I'm running every Rule of Law effect and so far they're the most powerful cards in the deck.
reminder that a draw is everyone losing, not winning.
>>97088427You running the OG?
>>97088427Not sure if based or cringeProbably based because such an old underplayed card
>>97088059>inspiration for build by numbersLol I hate zoomers so much
>>97088501I'm 56
>>97088474Damn thanks for reminding me I bought one of these a while back
>>97088427>>97088474Based. What is FIRE designed cards?
>>97088427Sounds incredibly gay and performative anon
>>97086762>TQ:Still fine-tuning Hogaak (Dredge aggro, focused on playing a high density of creatures with self-revive conditions) and Scarab God (Spot removal control, side theme of thievery and cloning)Working on building Ketramose (Low-to-the-ground value creatures, mass revival spells, lifegain subtheme) and Uro (Big Simic monsters + a bunch of cheap control spells to fuel Uro's cost and protect myself early game)
>>97086762>What are you brewing?Vial Smasher is there purely for better mobilize support. It's full of creatures with "create a 1/1 tapped and attacking" or "create a 2/2 tapped and attacking" to flood the board with small unblockable stuff, and then I play "trumpet blast" instants after the declare blocker step
>>97088417Can you convoke buyback since it is an additional cost?I am a retard, so forgive the likely obvious question
>>97088663Yes.
>>97088469A draw is a draw, it is neither winning nor losing
>>97088663>When calculating a spell's total cost, include any alternative costs, additional costs, or anything else that increases or reduces the cost to cast the spell. Convoke applies after the total cost is calculated. Always go to the scryfall/gatherer page for rulings on this stuff. A lot of basic info will be there
>>97088474I would run this and jihad if it wasn't banned.>>97088557It's actually based and mtgpilled.>>97088522I don't know what FIRE means, all I know is when MaRo started talking about it, the game started going to shit.>>97088485Old cards have better art and not pushed and broken design, that's why I'm trying to make this deck work. It's basically monowhite death and taxes.
This and Prosper manage to make Rakdos seem incredibly lame. Always the same deck, they're just like "no guys trust me it's a fair Kinnan deck" players.
>>97088469If the player played a card to force a draw, they ended the game mechanically on the terms they wanted, which is them winning.
>>97088707>Old cards have better artDebatable>not pushed and broken designWhich is why it's shit anon. You'll never be able to keep up. You'll play your deck, lose multiple times, hard, and instead of fucking quitting the game, like you probably should have years ago, seethe and mald about it, crying here about all your grievances about the game and the players that enjoy it as it is now. Which is why your deck is gay and performative. It's built to do nothing but virtue signal for virtues that don't even exist.
>>97088734Haven't played either of those. My favorite Rakdos commanders are Kroxa, Mogis, and Syrix.
>>97088087Cute, based husky enjoyer
>>97088751I get told to up-bracket with my predh decks. If you include cards from most of the 2010s it's very easy to make potent decks short of CEDH. It just involves, y'know, not being a retarded faggot who needs every card to be a 2 mana value generating payoff printed in the last 2 years.
>>97087297> 34> low land count
>>97088782You get filtered by Collector Ouphe and Blood Moon.
Who's a good option to partner with Ardenn if I want to play curse shenanigans? Is it going to be Vial-Smasher, Ludevic or Kraum just for colors?
>>97088109Im not 17 Im just eastern european
>>97088773All this is telling me is that you play against people who are bad at the game, nothing more. Among two equally skilled opponent, the one with the better cards wins, nearly always. If you're beating your opponents with worse cards, you're just better at the game than them, nothing more.
Just swindled my friends out of $10 each.>playing Toph, Metalbender against 3 friends>draw opening 7>tell them they can't win>they laugh and say they'll just team up to kill me>say even 3v1 they can't win>one of them bets me $10 that they can>everyone agrees that if one of them wins I'll give them all $10 if they don't they'll each give me $10>fast forward to turn 4>I drop caged sun and tap a land>game ends in a draw instantly>everyone kind of salty with me but pays upI feel kind of bad so I used the money to buy everyone pizza.
>>97088791>Blood MoonI am the one who knocks
>>97088048>do this for monopoly>ok if you pass go, shot>if you go to jail, shot>roll doubles? 2 shots>roll doubles twice? 3 shots, three doubles? 4>free parking? shot>go first>mfw on the first turn I roll 3 doubles in a row and land on free parking and go straight to jail
>>97088836This is why i don't want to use the metalbender Toph. The only way to win is to make everyone miserable or straight not let them play and there's nothing they can do to stop it unless they play ultra control.
>>97088751Why so butthurt, bro? Playing challenging decks makes it more fun.
>>97088707>>97088522>doesn't know what FIRE isStop... please... I'm not that old... FIRE was intoduced 6 years ago as a shift in design. The goal was to make magic:Fun - lots of decision making, games should feel uniqueInviting - new players should be able to play with new cards they bought, and a wide range of strategies should be viable at every level of playReplayable - Balance and diversity to make playing one format funExciting - cards should be interesting, exciting to read, exciting to play with, and exciting to build decks with. Card that best captures this is Lich's MasteryThey accomplished this by making new cards actually relevant in eternal formats, with the two first big offenders being Uro and Oko. Since then, magic has seen a lot of powercreep, and most notably synergy creep. Another big effect of FIRE is that commons are much better than they used to be. Compare the TLA commons to the RNA commons and you can see what I mean
who else /cheater/ here? >have 102 or 103 card decks with extra lands so I can have stupid cards>always draw a hand of 8>rarely win, dont even give a fuck I just hate being mana screwed
>>97088836>>I drop caged sun and tap a land>>game ends in a draw instantlyWhy would this occur
>>97088427>Mono white banding. I'm not including any UB cardsWe know retard, banding was long dead since forever so obviously its not in UB.Enjoy your bracket 1 jank
>>97088751>It's built to do nothing but virtue signal for virtues that don't even exist.You're being performative writing this anti-banding post. If the virtues didn't 'even exist', I wouldn't be able to signal them in the first place. Maybe I just want to play old cards from my childhood with cool art and an abandoned mechanic that'sfun, why does that cause you to seethe and mald?
>>97088902Why does banding cause zoom zooms to seethe and mald?
Would it be MLD if I do mycosynth lattice and vandalblast the table? Everyone is playing at bracket 3
>walk into lgs>see someone using an anti-fatigue mat as a playmat
>>97088427Multiple rule of law cards are post-FIRE, make sure not to run them
>>97088926YeahFuck em tho
>>97088948Whatever works man. If could find a playmat sized persian rug for cheap I'd use one of those as a playmat.>>97088890Due to the boredom of waiting long turn cycles I've developed a bad habit of peaking at the top card of my library while I'm just sitting there waiting for something to happen.Its on the lower ends of cheating, all it does is make my turn plays faster, but it is still cheating and I need to work on it.
Which is best?
>>97089042>Due to the boredom of waiting long turn cycles I've developed a bad habit of peaking at the top card of my library while I'm just sitting there waiting for something to happen.>Its on the lower ends of cheating, all it does is make my turn plays faster, but it is still cheating and I need to work on it.I do this sometimes when I run cards that allow me to do so and then forget they've been removed
>>97089047If you're going to do pop out art, just have it over the text. Even with stroke on the text its hard to read and ugly, otherwise just stick with pop put at the top or the far left.
>>97088707>I don't know what FIRE means, all I know is when MaRo started talking about it, the game started going to shit.Fake grognardFalse Oldschool MTG Enthusiast Get ye gone
>>97088427If you actually cared about old cards you would play an old formatFake fan
>>97088782Min is 36You should know this
>>97088836>I drop caged sun and tap a land>game ends in a draw instantlyI don't get it
>>97088890I mana weave but luckily it's not cheating
>>97089073I played since I was 5 and Arabian nights came out, sir.
>>97088900>>97089139If you make Caged Sun a land then the last line of text triggers off of itself forever once any land adds mana of the chosen color to your pool.And since it's a mana ability there's no way to respond.Toph makes it an easy A+B, before you used to need to jump through hoops with something like Ashaya and an artifact animation card.
>>97089147No. its just a waste of time since you need to shuffle to randomization anyway.
>>97089091EDH originated in the mid 90s, sir. It's one of MtG's oldest formats.
friend in playgroup cannot grasp how to represent p/t and its driving me crazy. He always has two different d20 on the card each representing TOTAL p/t respectively. Like total stat changes from static effects to counters to equipment/auras. Has a separate dice to represent counters off to the side, which he often forgets to adjust leading to confused game states. We often have to just vote on what his creature's p/t is because he hasn't been tracking it accurately multiple turns. Anyone else have people who do retarded shit like this?
>>97086771fuck ninja turtles and fuck whatever retard at wizards decided to print it as a whole set
will turtles finally be her time to shine
>>97089047If you're going to cover text, cover ALL the text. No half measures.
>>97089228Even after almost 30 years, I still think she's one of the most beautiful women in all of gaming. Goddamn, bros...
>>97089218For some reason they signed a retarded deal with nickelodeon causing them to make sets of dead and boomer IPs. After the success of FF, I don't understand why the retards in charge if licensing don't go after every top anime IP they can get their hands on. MhA, DBZ, KnY, JJK, Pokémon and Gundam would all dramatically outsell Avengers and the other UB shit wotc is giving us. Their licensing department is severely out of touch
>>97089237What do you mean, final fantasy came out this year
>>97089271imagine the following UB sets or secret lairs:DuneElden Ring/Dark Souls/BloodborneLEGEND OF ZELDAAttack on TitanStar WarsWickedHarry PotterGame of ThronesAlice in WonderlandLion the witch and the wardrobeAND WE'RE STUCK WITH FUCKING NINJA TURTLES????? NINJA TURTLES???? FUCK YOU MARK ROSEWATER FUCK YOU FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU
>>97089295Did you make this list shit on purpose
>>97089295Zelda and Harry potter potentially outsell FF, especially Harry Potter. Wicked and kpop demon hunters are probably on the way as secret lair. Disney killed Star Wars, I dunno if it would outsell Spooderman or avatar but I could be wrong. Dune is based af but only if they stick to the books and don't go with Timothy chalamet/ zendaya nuDune
>>97089295>Harry PotterI would do anything for a Harry Potter set. Not just the main books but pulling from all sources. More people deserve to know Cassandra.
What commander to feel like Pygmalien from Bazaar?
>>97089360I want a Harry Potter set just to see the redditors and troons meltdown over it as they have coniption fits explaining how feminist lefty JK Rowling is literally worse than Hitler.
>>97089216I hate to say it, but some people just weren't meant to play certain kinds of decks. If he can't be assed to represent the stat changes and buffs as they are and update accordingly he shouldn't be playing that type of deck.
>>97089295Do you understand how intellectual property works
>>97089295I'm actually thinking hollow knight is on the table after silksong
>>97089374I didn't want to say it but I was thinking that same thing too.
>>97089374This desu
>>97089295>Lion the witch and the wardrobeAn actual Narnia set would be cool. Finally give the other books in the series beyond just the Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe a chance to get some recognition.
>>97089216I've been encountering more and more people who represent base p/t, counters, static increases, and temporary increases in bizarre ways. Everything is on dice, or everything is written on the token, or put a die up at the top here for this, or lower the number on the die representing counters because of someone's -1/-1 effectI know they're going to lose track and everyone else knows they're going to lose track, so endings also starts making suggestions and taking their boardstate.
>Change 20 cards in a deckStill not entirely satisfiedI wanna fit more cards in my deck!
>>97088707Yeah this is incredibly performative lmao. Enjoy your boring deck anon im sure the other anons you play with will love it.
>>97089432I know, right? Alice is public domain.
>>97088707>not pushed and broken designSome of the strongest cards in the game are from the first few years of the game anon. You have absolutely no idea what youre talking about.>>97088751This. Being performative for ANONYMOUS people on 4chan is embarrassing.
>>97089192Why would they pay you? No one won, no one lost, no one pays. You sound like a jewish faggot anon
>>97089203Unless you lived in the PNW this didnt matter and EDH did not start gaining real traction outside of that region til mid 00's
>>97089520I'm not that guy, I just wanted to answer the question since the first guy obviously wasn't going to.
>>97089520That anon never claimed he'd win, only that they won't. He was technically right.
>>97089532I am from Spokane, sir. I started playing when Arabian nights came out, my family friend who was in college at the time and let me use his decks. He had Juzam djinn and all the cool cards. I only started buying my own cards when nemesis came out though.
>>97089496>>97089505I'm playing a deck I like for fun. The ones being performative are you, pretending to be outraged by my jank deck I'm building with limitations and restrictions with cards I like because it's fun. If my jank bracket 1 deck offends you, that's weird, but you're allowed to keep feeling what you feel.
>>97089505>Some of the strongest cards in the game are from the first few years of the game anon.Most of those cards you speak of are banned in edh/not in mono white, anon. Let's be real with ourselves here.
>>97089594Funny because Spokane was pretty much a dead zone for MTG in the 90s. Really boring larp anon.
>sell some old cards for credit>grab a booster while I'm thinking of how to spend it>Pull Preposterous Proportions>Leave the Craterhoof in the binder because I'd rather have more squirrel cardsI swear if I could reasonably drop all the aristocrat cards for more squirrels I would. Might make some squirrel art proxies for them, just because.
>>97089646I wasn't going to LGSs and playing competitively, weirdo. I played only kitchen table until odyssey invasion standard.
>>97089216Wanting to keep track of the total via dice seems like newbie thing that most people get over quickly. Unfortunately, I can totally imagine a small minority that stick with it for absolutely no reason at all.I know a guy who represents loyalty by putting a die on his planeswalkers with the difference to the starting loyalty. So a 1 on this guy could mean either 2 or 4 loyalty, who knows. No idea what drives people to do it like that.
>>97089712>guy who represents loyalty by putting a die on his planeswalkers with the difference to the starting loyaltyI've seen this before and that is abysmal. It's the least intuitive way to do that since that demands the rest of the table to know the starting loyalty for each planeswalker imaginable to work.
>>97089216That is a pretty standard form of "I started playing magic with commander" retardation. Not being able to tell the difference between +1/+1 counters and temporary boosts, people representing total power rather than modified + base and then causing confusion when +1/+1 modifier matters cards are in play, etc. All you can really do is tell them the general way it is done and hope they have some semblance of conscious thought rattling around in their head.
Do I like Jeskai, or do I like Naya?
Is there a fun and effective way to build family friendly Jon?
>>97086890It's a shame ONE and MOM were such a flash in the pan and didn't get a full set for the actual phyrexian war. Phyrexians have such cool designs, the Mirrodin block designs were amazing but I still really like the new ones as well. Norn and Urabrask's armies are the best though
>>97089795Blue is the color of losers and queers.
>>97088765Do you have a deckles for Syrix, wanted to build him for a while but have no idea how to go about it
>>97088087Make a version of Jodah where you have a bigger pile of legendaries that you make an opponent shuffle up and dole out the cards to get to 100. Then whatever legendaries they run into is that player's fault.
>can't get a pip of a certain color in my 2 color deck>5color trannies have no problem paying WWUUBBRGG by turn 3
>>97089802Blue is the most based color in magic, that represents everything that makes the game great.
>>97089838That's because they built a competent landbase and you kept a shit hand
>>97087297kek I was playing with a guy just getting into commander and he got manascrewed 4-6 games in a row>well, how many lands do you have in that deck?>hmm.. he goes through it and counts>32. I facepalmed, and he explained that his logic was that surely you want spells and creatures and stuff that actually do stuff to take up 2/3 of your deck instead of just a bunch of useless lands.gave him 5 lands to put in the deck and he went on to do really well and have way more fun the coming games. felt good.
This entire time I thought Esper Sentinel was a cool looking robot and not some naked black dude...
>>97086762>>TQ>What are you brewing?I'm putting together my first commander deck so I can stop borrowing from my friends. It's going to be pirates
>>97089520Because I never said I'd win or that they'd lose. Just that they wouldnt win.They accepted the terms and like adults nobody tried to weasel out of it.Either way we all had pizza and played 2 more games. Was a good day and we all had fun.
>>97089855make a proxy
>>97089856Hey that was my first deck as well. Pirates are very fun and pretty cheap. I recommend picking up the ixalan pirate precon. A lot of very good cards in there.
>>97089216Get him something like these so he can just write it down
>>97089855The fact it was a human didn't give it way it was a cyborg?
>>97089866Way ahead of you, already got the precon and I'm putting together a buy list for how I want to upgrade it. Like you said, it's nice that it's relatively cheap. You got any recommendations on not so obvious inclusions for this deck?
>>97089855That's one of those cards that desperately needs a reprinting with some new art
>>97089855Anon, what..?
>>97089895those are surprisingly smart. If it's just +1/+1 I use singular dice, but if a creature has too different stats that require remembering I'll put two d6 next to eachother to indicate the numbers, and update them when necessary.>>97089216I'm sorry man, you gotta Men And Mice him.Take him out back and say you're gonna show him a new infinite combo for his favourite commander, let his last thought be a happy one.My pet peeve is people playing decks they shouldn't be. The slowest people conceivable playing complicated combo decks with tons of triggers. The people paying the least attention playing interaction-heavy decks so they have to constantly ask people to repeat what X Y and Z does so they know whether to interact with it or not. >>97089295>actual fantasy with tons of worldbuildingyes>anything elsesecret lair at MOST.
>>97089908Not off the top of my head. Here's my list if you wanna look. I haven't really updated it in a long time though.https://archidekt.com/decks/8816133/pirates
How do I make my own playmats if I want to sell them?
>>97089865>Just troon out your cardsNo, I'm straight.
This format sucks. How do you deal with land clumping? It's already bad in 60 card formats. But with 99 cards it's super easy to just draw a land 3+ turns in a row. Unless you cheat and play tutors this format is super luck based.
>>97089967Buy a screen printerBy the raw rubber materials and clothprint, glue, cut, sew and/or embroider the edges to look nice.It will probably cost you anywhere between 300-1k to get the machinery to do it, not counting supplies.
>>97089959Thanks!
>>97086762>TQ>What are you brewing?Nethroi Banding, Vaevictus Firebreathing, and Karlach Manlands
>>97089982>have lots of card draw>have ways to filter cards (discard cards to draw cards et.c.)>deckbuild to where you have enough lands to (almost) always get enough lands just from drawing normally, especially the first couple of turns>shuffle your deck properly, so you don't have a ton of lands stacked togetheryou can also run lands with cycling, then you can just discard the excessive land to draw a new card.
>>97089982Just shuffle correctly and draw cards dumbass. I don't have issues with land clumps when I run 40 lands.
Fellow Mardu Terra players, thoughts on cutting the Altars cards/Viscera Seers/Zulaports?I want to play a more creature control type game with some of the new Airbending cards and Aven Interruptor, but I'm not sure how good it'd be.
>>97090031Pile shuffling takes forever. Any other way ether is a shite shuffle or damages your cards.>>97090021Cope.
>>97089982>Finish game>Grab lands>Give them a quick shuffle>Randomly put them into the deck>Shuffle as normal in following gamesNot rocket science bro
>>97086771Capeshit and cartoon UBs disgust me. The types of people who actually want to see those cards let alone play them strike me as people with little interiority that mostly engage with all media on a surface level with no reflection on a story's overall tone or themes. Especially the way those two are communicated visually, that seems completely lost on these people. A lot of this UB shit is just shit art in general, most magic art these days is but when you have low res screenshots for full arts, well, it's hard to be kind. They can't take anything seriously because humor is more accessible than drama. I'm a lot more mad at how many people there are that love this Spiderman or Captain America shit than I am the fact a company thinks they can make a lot of money with it.
I'm trying to place an order on TCGplayer but it's not going through, is something wrong with TCG right now?
>>97090038Only a sperg cares about damaging cards they bought with the intent to play.

>>97089432yeah i do you self important retard and as it happens intellectual property law doesn't force wizards to print fucking garbage like ninja turtles and obviously, fucking OBVIOUSLY my argument is predicated on them being able to get the rights to those works. holy shit you're fucking stupid. don't reply to me ever again. i'll know if you do

is orvar just casting 2 clone niggas and coppying them over and over thiss you overwhelm the board or is there something actually fun or clever to accomplish?
>>97090127I really admire the quality of a deck where the big-mana gameplan can be passed like a torch to basically any creature with a firebreathing ability. Like, go my bugs, slay a planeswalker with the power of mana!
>>97090200In the same vein, I fucking love having this card out. People greatly underestimate the amount of life I'm willing to dump into this over and over to block whatever fatties they throw my way
>play off and on at 2-3 local LGS for years>apparently my curse deck is a horror story>people apparently remember me>"yeah this guy had 10 copies of painful quandary out" >kill them with grievous wound and maddening hex>doomwake keeps the board clearshould I retire this deck? curses probably aren't going to be printed very oftenhttps://moxfield.com/decks/yMJtI4J6S0K7S7dt8nF82g
>>97090197That's not how Orvar works, if his effect copies a clone that's copying something he makes the thing it's currently copying, not the underlying cardMost Orvar decks are ETB machines that use Orvar to add value to their flickering
>>97090197it allows you to ramp super easily
>>97090209combine with rowan and a big X cost spell for big damage
>>97090231oh ok i see>>97090232elaborate but surely that isn't just high tide+one of the thirty niggas that recover instant or sorc to hand right?

>>97089374I am getting old... when did Harry Potter become Hitler? Wasn't reddit just, like a decade ago, thinking that Voldemort is Hitler and Harry Potter will protect them from Kek?
What are some good cards to proxy/counterfeit? I don't feel like playing $500 for eureka any badass arts that stick out recently?
>>97090285only on a loud minority sub-section of reddit, most people still enjoy the seriesbut those people are basically falling over each other in performative hate trying to find the most minute details about the book that prove it's the worst book ever
>>97090285Jk Rowling is now considered a nazi by reddit and bluesky weirdos for the thought crime of thinking that men can't become women, and biological men who believe they're women shouldn't be allowed in women's bathrooms and changing rooms. JK Rowling is now considered a TERF, a "shitty person" and literally worst than Hitler by the same libtards who used to idolize her
>>97090197Depends entirely on how you build him. I've gone with making a bunch of copies of mana rocks and Caged Sun and either animating those to swarm everyone out or giving Orvar double strike and other keywords to take people out.
>>97090327They also are butthurt because they say Goblins represent jews and they hate how all the characters besides Hermione normalized house elf slavery
>>97090294>I don't feel like playing $500 for eurekaThen don't put it in your decklist.
Hi my name is anon and Im addicted to running aggro. Not necessarily go wide creatures, but I refuse to pay more than 2 mana for a spell. I willunload my hand of 0/1 drops and then play some wheel or broken card draw to find more. I will run only 32 lands. I will have 30 tokens on T4.
EDH sucks but I don't have $20 to spend every week on drafts
>>97090075100% agree on the cartoon and capeshit stuff.>low res screenshots for full artsprobably the cheapest looking cards I have ever seen. the avatar show screenshots look worse than my ugliest proxies.>They can't take anything seriouslyI noticed that too in a lot of entertainment media. it's like all this shit is designed by people who hate those things, but they got this sweet gig so they have to stick with it somehow, resulting in them making fun of it at every corner to cope. and then you get the pseudo-activism like rewriting lore to make it represent the ideals of a loud minority.
>>97090355God I don't understand how people have the money to do this shit. Drafting multiple times a night nearly every weekend is insane
>>97090209I hope you also run disciple of bolas in that deck for hilarious draw
>>97090072>stackingStop cheating bro.
>>97090347funniest thing about that is the goblins being represented as jewish is purely a movie inventionand the house elf slavery thing isn't even about house elf slavery being a good thingit's about Hermione being naive in how she approaches the subject of house elf liberation and failing to get a movement goingthe series goes out of it's way to have how someone treats a house elf being a primary indicator of their moral qualities
>>97090403How is that stacking
>>97090413if spreading your lands out doesnt effect the final result then what you're doing is pointlessif spreading your lands out does, then you're stacking your deck to try and get an ideal draw other than through random chance (shuffling)get better at shuffling if you think your lands are clumped just because you scooped them up from last game in a pile. otherwise, learn odds.
>>97090355>>97090378Lol laugh at these poorfagsBet they are like> I..is it awight if.. if I wun my pwoxies?
>>97090428Nah, I'm going to keep just doing my gambling fallacy and shuffling 7 times despite your autism.
why are people so upset about hybrid mana when the real annoying thing is the lack of some kind of 'mechanical identity' or 'clan identity' so we can run the black and WUBRG earthbending cards with toph or bumi
>Somehow get lucky enough to have esper sentinel in my opening hand 3 games out of 4>Didn't draw a single card off of them the first 4 turnsFeels bad man
>>97090347>>97090406>jews and their woke golems see a banker goblin with a long goblin nose>immediately go insane and think it depicts themthat shit is still funny to mesome with the orcs = blacks thing, and now orcs cannot be evil anymore. we now got official mexican orcs from wotc, and poor orc women with poor little orc kids getting holocausted by evil white races in amazon's rings of power. always interesting how the anti-racists always turn out to be to most racist ones.
>>97090449>and now orcs cannot be evil anymoreI malded about this in the D&D thread, but.Im quite mad about the changes they made to D&D orcs. Literally turned them into grey Mexicans in the PHB. I want to run semi evil Half-Orcs and have them be green.Zurgo is the only orc in my heart who gets a pass for being grey purple.

>>97090466>card word gumboCan someone show me the comprehensive rules section that this card even works as printed?

>>97090491Ok, thanks. I'll remember that.
>>97090506No no NO SHUT UP! DELETE THIS!!!
>>97090506wishes work, they're just not legal in edh for retarded reasons
>>97090506in my heart this still works on exiled cards
>>97090527Post the "rules".
>>97090530redefining "outside the game" as the exile zone for edh would be acceptable>yes gavin do it for ante too do it do it do it
>>97090506I'll allow it. >b-b-butToo late. My word is final.
>>97090449meanwhile if you look at orcs, the most common culture they're based on these days is mongolians they also take a lot of influence from germanic barbarians, including their modern equivalent: british soccer fans and even looking at tolkien, orcs there were the personification of industrialized warfare, which would make it strange for anyone to identify them with africans
>>97090506>>97090527Wouldn't this work to bring exiled cards back though? Like, >I cast T-pro>I bring it back with this

>>97090675>he's only autistic for wishes, but companion/whatever other zone wotc makes he's totally fine withimagine thinking you're being taken seriouslynow watch me play contract from below right in your face because casual means nobody plays for keeps therefore ante is just exile 2.0 hahaha

>>97090341Just let people drink polyjuice potion, I am sure there was something in the books about Harry turning into a girl, or girls turning into Harry, to avoid Voldemort's attention. Gender isn't real if you can use magic.
>>97090484Good idea, I found one in my artifact pile so I'll slot it in.
maybe we need to stop with the 100 singleton meme since there is a shitton of cards that do the same and just built 60 regular decks
>>97090790We should get rid of commanders too, since they're just vehicles for UBslop.
>>97090790You're free to go play standard for memedorn at any time
>>97090799And we should add a 15 card sideboard - not just for wishes, but to let people adapt between games over a night.

>>97089895I got dry-erase refrigerator magnets, they're cheap, big enough to write words on, and conveniently came in five colors. you can do different counter types, track your friend's loot's exhaust abilities, cover and rewrite P/T or names or other properties, put it at the top of your playmat for anthem effects, and have it not help still because some things are just too complicated for some people.also buy a real dry erase marker, the ones that come with those are trash and leave stains.
Is there a way to go even farther out than 2 years and farther down in the ranks? I wanna see the most unused commanders out there to get ideas for unique/new stuff to try

>>97090908Why didn't you have it?
>>97090908put the big creatures with the reanimate in one pile, Pull and Ewit in the other.He will take Pull to find his landdrop next turn, delaying the shitfest possibly two more turns if he doesnt draw a land naturally

>friend plays necropotence>"I'm just gonna draw 4 so I don't have to discard too much into exile :)"yeah bro, totally, it's not like you are ashamed of playing that card unironically
>>97090940the one time i would prefer an anime version
>>97090946I play it in every black.I have no combos to search for.Unless there's an immediate threat I need an answer to I just draw to hand size.
>>97090948Get a proxy. They exist for him
>>97090908This is tough. Holy shit dude. I guess I would go with Jin + E-Wit + Reanimate in one, then Pull + Burning-Rune. Basically "you can't put Jin in the grave unless you're putting the stuff to recur it there too." Burning-Rune reanimation is more manageable.

>>97090969sure bub
>>97090971go back to Canada, Logan
I will not pay the 1. If the rhystic study player pops off it's not my fault, it's YOUR fault for not focusing him.
>>97090979I honestly do not understand how people don't get that the game should immediately turn into 3vs1 the moment Rhystic Study/Esper Sentinel/Smothering Tithe drops
>>97090979This
>>97090571see>>97090491
>>97090990People are focused on "DOING THE THING" their deck does. And dealing with that shit isn't part of what it does
>>97090979>Its not my faultYou're causing them to pop off too. If you can't beat them to death yourself, you shouldn't be feeding them either.
>person plays card that is the equivalent of smoke detector chirp>"Are you going to pay the 1?">"kill yourself"
>>97091000It's a casual format. It's ok if I don't win. :^)
>>97091000Incorrect. It should be 1v3. If it's not then you're the problem.
>>97091000It's not a team game. Never expect your opponents to do the shit you want "for the rest of the table"I got one responsibility in this game mother fucker and that's ME
>>97091010I tell people I'm not going to remind them, I'm just going to pay attention and draw if they don't remember.Somehow telling them that, and doing exactly what I told them I'm doing just pisses them off more than me reminding them.

I want to make a deck with 'limited' chaos. I saw a few anons mention things like tempt with mayhem, show and tell, and return the favor/clonelegion to win off enemy board states and steal combos using things like see double and display of power. I was thinking magnus the red or neera, maybe storm or kalamax and not build too heavily into the commanders. Any decklists or recommendations?

>>97091210There is nothing on this planet that will make me keep up with a Standard style rotation. I learned my lesson with Hearthstone like 10 years ago I am NOT spending all this time and money and energy just to lose everything when a set rotates out
>>97090790Commander should be block restricted
>>97091266This is why EDH became popular starting around 2010. Thanks to mythics being almost mandatory in every competitive deck, prices were skyrocketing, and EDH started showing up before sealed events or if you got knocked out early at FNM in standard. After the rotation in summer 2010 we stopped going to FNM and just played EDH at each-other's kitchen tables each Friday.

Even if you're cheating it in (not easy since none of the traditional reanimation spells work on it) you probably aren't getting the cast trigger. Ulamog 3 is easier to get into play and usually has a bigger annihilator number than old and busted Emrakul for general goodstuff usage.

>>97091562My 10th Doctor deck would.
he cute?
>>97091562Pretty much any deck that needs an unimaginative wincon. It's never the best option but it's an unfathomably uninteresting one that slots anywhere.That being said, I don't think it's banworthy. The only reason it got banned in the first place was because it was cheap to get, so it was everywhere. You could blind run Bribery and expect to hit Emrakul in most public games.
>>97091562>not hardcasting emrakul w/ haste>not following up the extra turns with more annilators/an infinite combob2 babies need to learn their place
4/4 emracool
'Sup, fat bitch.>Gets looped 3+ times every turn and utterly destroys the game
>>97091575>oh a card is everywhere?>*looks at it*>nah not my thing>i'll ban it because it makes edh homogenous>btw i love rhystic so much i'll leave it untouched for as long as i live even though every blue deck would run itsheldon's biases have always been so painfully glaring
>>97091592some people really REALLY hate this
>>97091572I miss you Nirimer. We all do.
>>97091593It's basically grandfathered in as the poster child "chaff card good in wacky side format" except by 2012 it should have been extremely apparent to Sheldon this was no longer the case and he had to start managing EDH like a real format.Instead we get 5 years of Dockside being legal "because it self-selects".
Why is this fucking acorned
>>97091615Who?
>>97091378Squirrel tokens don't have flying tho...>>97091343It gives you 5 out of the six permanents you need to sacrifice when Emrakul attacks, and when it does, you only need to block her with one of them and it's dead thanks to deathtouch.
>>97091629too complicated
>>97091562>What decks would even play Emrakul if it were unbanned?A bunch. It's so easy to get to 15 mana with green, or any other deck thanks to many infinite mana combos, or powerful mana doublers. Any deck that doesn't rely on a graveyard strategy and can hit that much mana regularly in a game (typical games last 9-12 turns on average) should run it. It also helps neutralize mill. I can see why it was banned. Almost every deck would be better running it, and thanks to being colorless you had to build every deck against it because it was showing up so often.
>>97091640What about flying squirrels?
Can I get some MonoW commander recommendations?I like drawing cards and attacking.I don't like ramping or board wipes.
>>97091714
>>97091543Because the original intention of EDH was a casual format where you cram your bulk stuff into. It's morphed into a monster with how many cards are available and how Wizards keeps printing shit explicitly designed for Commander
>>97091567Ideally, the fact that we only have single set blocks now should help balance out the fact that cards are power creeped to shit now
>>97091593sol ring*
>>97091732the original implementation of EDH, only one player in a region could play the same commander, imagine if card selection was similarly restricted>oh no you can't play rhystic study, bob plays rhystic study
>>97091743That could be a fun version of ante, you don't win the card but you win the ability to use the card
>>97091753ante would be based though
>Guy with giant board attacks me.>I cast riot control, gain a bunch of life, exile it making a spirit on my turn>He attacks me, use his ability, to cast riot control again>Cast and equip sunforger>He attacks me again, unequip sunforger >Search for and cast riot control>Repeat this several times>"I got you this time asshole, I exile your riot control from the graveyard at instant speed before you can exile it in your end step.">Darnn bro, I guess you got me>Attacks me>I unequip sunforger and look for and cast settle the wreckage.Am I an asshole?
>>97091757Battle City Rules tournament when?
>>97090592It's a one of effect
>>97091765No, fun shit like this is what the format was created for. I'd just laugh and concede at that point
>want to build deck>don't have many of the cards it needs. Over 40>try TCGPlayer>18 packagesWelp guess that's the end of that
>>97091829there are 3 infinite combos with food chain and creatures you can cast from exile too
>>97091765Anyone swinging into an attached Sunforger is asking for it
>>97091853It's one of the most Kill on Sight equipments for a reason. It's very rare for it to last more than 1-2 turn cycles with my friends
is settle the wreckage the missing link to catchup ramp
>>97091732EDHs intention was a new way to waste time with cards you liked. Nothing has changed.
>>97091873Yes, you can use it on yourself, I don't think its worth doing honestly, but you can.
>>97091765sunforger is kill on sight, also, just kill your commander? those spells are lost when he dies. you probably should just win if you are looping shit with sunforger instead of stall tactics.
>>97091873Yes, and remember there is a step at the end of combat in which creatures are still considered attacking but have already done their damage. So you dont even need to sacrifice anything but useless bodies. You are starting to think like a good (AKA a white) player anon >>97091878Dirty UBRG filth.
>>97090075>Capeshit and cartoon UBs disgust meThis but also fuck in universe anime prints. Its the same energy.> But whaddabout muh heckin' Kreat, The Tithe ExtractorCringe!
>>97086762I'm not sure quite what to do with it but I built it as a newb friendly budget deck years ago and like mono colored samurai decks. With it built only need a mono-w samurai to have a samurai deck of every color
>>97091923>mono wMeant mono-u
>>97091923Add forced-block effects and give him trample.
>>97090075>le tones and themesArtfags are insufferable damn

>>97091105Top kek
>>97091105Tbh you had him on a clock
I still wanna build her bros
If I cast a card for its prototype was its its CMC on the stack? While in play?
>>97092022what is its CMC*mobile post plz understand
whats the difference between Volthron and Battlecruiser commanders? if any.
>>97092025Mana value = Default costMana cost (on the stack) = Prototype costIn play = Prototype cost
I love being a big faggot. I don't even build her for theft.
>>97092082theft? she's obviously a wizard tribal commander
>>97092022Is there any reason why you didn't just look this up in the rules? Because the rules clearly tell you the answer. The rules are indexed for easy searching.
>>97091841Most of the time they'll get there; I'm well over 100 packages and probably lost 4 or 5 things with refunds every time
>>97091437Not my problem wizards sucks at design and doesn't create better fundamentals. Why would I not include a Bishop which can go diagonal as far as the board allows and can capture anything in my chess pieces over a Priest which can only move 2 spaces diagonally and can only capture Pawns? I can guarantee you run Sol Ring in all your decks.
>>97092084People really like agent but yeah you are CORRECT
>>97091640>Squirrel tokens don't have flying tho...
>>97092026I want to say voltron is reliant on tempo and battlecruiser is like an edging timmy orgasm
>>97092098flyerbros??? our response??SPEAKING OF WHICHis this card megapushed or what?
>>97092103It's not even the best of its type by a long shot. Green has been getting a bunch of these cards and they've done little to change things.
>>97092103I think it's about on par with the other Naturalize variants they've been printing into standard. They keep pushing them just a little more to keep up with the things you sideboard them in to deal with. If you ask me they still aren't good enough, probable needs to be 1 mana at instant speed with a good third option along with destroying artifacts and enchantments.
>>97092118you should work for kotc!! :D
How about this one?
>>97092136Pretty decent card. I'll need to proxy it because I hate avatar tbqhwyf
>>97092156UW proxychads rise up
>>97092136So is airbending just a worse flicker..? I don't get the point of it
>>97086762I wish this thing was legendary
>the pod is getting into netdecks and jerking off as they mindlessly by gamechangersLocal Voltron player's deck is what I'd pay for my car over 4 months and it's still "not complete"
>>97092290not quite, airbending lets you cast a card again, which has obvious implications for on cast effects, kicker, adventures, etc. you can also protect with airbending better than SOME forms of flicker
>>97092325Wish this was legendary
It's up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgeWtX86qsg
>>97092335I can tell this is bad and buy the title alone

it would be so easy to make this a real card

Urza's Mobius StripUUUUUULegendary Artifact Land Planeswalker - Urza Urza's Saga EquipmentI) Urza's Mobius Strip gains the following abilities:Equip: sacrifice an artifact and add a loyalty counter. Equipped creature gains the following abilities while equipped: (0): Move any counter from Mobius Strip to this creature.II) Create a copy of Mobius strip and equipped creature.

Mill a card. Surveil 1."IV) Remove all counters from all sagas you control. They are no lomger creatures. They become creatures with base power and toughness equal to half the number of cards in your library rounded down.

>>97092396I rarely see birthing pod these days, which is kinda nice cause it's a strong card and nasty to play against. But the implication is that decks have become too fast and consistent for it to pay off.
>>97092335Buy an ad. I remember the shitty land calculator you were shopping around this general for weeks before you did that video. I know it's you, you aren't slick.
>>97092556I put the Fire Nation Drill in my Azule deck for flavour, but isn't it actually a pretty good card?
So I got around to making a Krenko deck, but I don't want it to be very competitive, just a goofy "and now there's a ton of goblins" deck.What are some fun, random, or goofy cards I can put in this deck?
>>97092732This is NOT an un-card
>>97092745I put in Goblin Lore, it 's only right I would add Goblin Game :)
>>97091629I still play her, I just make sure everyone is okay with me playing an acorn card and make it very clear in the start.
>>97091640>Squirrel tokens don't have flying tho...They don't need it. This card was released in the same set as Emrakul.
>>97091592>>97091596I'd love to move my Meren away from this gameplay loop but I have no idea how.
>>97092745Why is the oracle text not updated to "each player chooses a number"?
>>97092851Because numbers are easier to define.

I have a foil Tidus but I dont play cedh. Any partner recommendations for him that would keep the power level low, preferably bracket 3?
>>97093006You could either do a LOTR elf deck where they care about scrying (also blue-green colours) a lot, or Maze's End with tons of lands and gates?
>>97087196Yes, from me. But then I got told that if the trains from Kaladesh were fine that these were as well. When I said that Kaladesh had a style not fitting Magic, I got told that if the mechs from Mirrodin were fine then these were as well. When I s

>>97092369Natural Order
>>97092745I unironically run this in mine
>>97091629As much as I want to say there would be some complicated ruling problems, I can't think of any and just default to "putting half of the 'Sword of X and Y' cards on her in any semi-competent token deck would lead to annoying-ass games."

Here's an original plane set!>waaaahhhh it's not strong I'm not buying it!Oh okay we'll raise the power level in the 2nd and 3rd blocks.>3 sets in the same plane?! I'm fucking BORED of this plane!Oh shit okay well uh I guess we'll just have one off sets and space the planes out by years...and uh since you all have been slowing down on purchases we've had to look for supplemental revenue and we are experimenting with adding non-wotc owned characters into the game. Here's a few cards from a popular show, do you guys like these?>FUCK YES we like these! Look at how powerful this shit is! Exactly what I wanted! But you better print alternates that look more like Magic characters do!All right we hear you. Since the lairs were such a success we're going to try printing a whole set of a 3rd property franchise. How do you all feel about that?>HOW DO WE FEEL? HOW DO WE FEEL?! WE'RE JUST GOING TO MAKE THIS THE BEST SELLING SET EVER THAT'S HOW WE FEEL!Oh okay! Wow! You all really liked the non-magic set! Well we hope you'll like this new original magic set, which takes place in an exciting new plane->A NEW IN UNIVERSE PLANE?! FUCK OFF. OMG THIS LOOKS SO STUPID. WE WANT THE OLD PLANES BACK NOTHING BUT THE OLD PLANES.Oh...uh, okay. Well here you go->OMG THIS SHIT SUCKSOkay...? Well what about this non-magic ip set->GIVE ME! OMG AMAZING! THESE CARDS SO STRONK!Okay so that's the second best selling set of all time... And you all aren't buying UW variations of non-magic cards in appreciable rates...so going by your purchases you all want high powered cards featuring non-magic characters >OMG R U DUMB?! THAT'S NOT MAGIC! I WANT SETS BASED IN OLD PLANES! WE NEED TIME TO MARINADE IN A SET WE NEED BLOCKS! POWER CREEP AND FIRE DESIGN SUCKS! I HATE NON MAGIC IPS!
>>97093632>I am silly
>>97093657
>>97093327>>97093555It's because he turned out to be part of a really fast combo deck in standard
>>97093632so where are these so fabled UW variations again that nobody allegedly bought, Nosewater?
>>97093757Is this the only time they did that?https://www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2023/08/the-walking-dead-universes-within-mtg/
>>97093785They also did the street fighter ones
>>97093798And Stranger Things.
>>97093803Which are kino btw
>>97093785D&D movie also got some.
I'm still trying to build this...>>97092016 I was thinking does anyone know ways to put a counter on an opponent's creature in blue? I'm thinking that maybe I can add a bit of a political dimension to the deck by making my opponents creatures unblockable to my other opponentsMaybe I'm just coping but it's not really clear to me why she is so underplayed when pic related for example has over a thousand decks.
>>97093843I hate how ugly that character is
>>97093853Tetsuko is the daughter of a fan favorite character who enables a popular tribe, ninjas, in a unique colour identity Rikku is FF slop, and her deck focuses on counterslop in a color that doesn't support counterslop very well (unless you go for robots)
Are there any more cards like this which let me target my own lands? I could ramp with these using the indestructible artifact lands.
>>97093843Idiot
>>97093890>>97093890
>>97093891?????That's the UW version, this is the UB version
>>97093006Solo thrasios
>>97093939It's not true UW because it's still D&D.
>>97095251That's true I suppose, D&D settings are magic settings. See Theros, Strixhaven, Ravnica, etc
