What tribe?
TQ: Kind of, I have a Legendary matters Shanid/Dihada deck I run, so legendary tribal I suppose
>>97235405>STILL missing the subject lineEmbarrassing.
>TQMy Azusa deck is Maro-Sorcerer tribal. My Archimandrite deck is naturally Monk/Advisor/Artificer tribal
>>97235405>Do you have a tribal deck? What tribe?Goblins tribal and Dragons tribal
>>97235405>TQ Do you have a tribal deck? What tribe?Dragon, Hydras, Wurms, Germs
>TQJust insects at the moment.Gonna work on a Myr and Fungus this year though.
>TQInsect tribal. The latest insect cards from EOE really helped streamline the deck. Play insects and additional land drops/ramps so boardwipes only hinders your opponent so you swarm the board again. Don't ignore the big trample bugs, your commander gives them deathtouch and a lot of damage goes through.
Is this game worth playing?My last experience was a few years ago at a game store and some kid cried when I countered his Voja.Now I'm seeing all sorts of bracket nonsense that I have no interest in learning.
>>97235405Three wizard decks, Derevi birds, Kreat goblins, Lathril elves, Yuriko ninjas and Disa tarmagoyfsI made Adeliz/Azami because I collected every wizard for different iterations of Inalla
>TQMy first ever deck was a $25 Miirym dragons deck that I loved because it was (obviously) strong despite the low cost. My first money deck was Pantlaza dinosaurs, which I loved because I leaned more into exile and exile synergies than just dino tribal, but don't get me wrong it was still dino tribal.Abandoned both because they were too strong and tribal slop just isn't interesting. Good for new players but established players should be more creative than that.I reworked Miirym into clones tribal though, which made it kind of funny. It's in DIRE need of a rework though because even as a joke deck, it does absolutely nothing for 4-5 turns. I'm running something like 30 clones in it but I might need to cut that down to 20 clones and give the deck 25 pieces of ramp because it can't actually do anything until Miirym is on the field and I have 2-4 mana open.
>>97235405>TQ:My Orvar deck is Eldrazi tribal, and my Scarab God deck is Shapeshifter tribal.
Wow. A lot more tribaltroons then I thought there would be
>>97235460Bracket 1 doesn't exist, bracket 2 is precons, bracket 3 is power level 7, bracket 4 is power level 8, bracket 5 is cedh.Most people are too stupid to understand how the brackets are supposed to work anyways. Just say you're a 3 and you'll be fine.
>>97235405>TqSeveralVanilla creatures, birds, angels, rats. >>97235460>Now I'm seeing all sorts of bracket nonsense that I have no interest in learning.You can ignore brackets they're just power level 2.0The game is worth playing but also the people who play suck.
>>97235476Yeah, net decking top decks is peak creativity
>>97235405>TQSlivers, Goblins and Squirrels. I like sticking to a cohesive theme, but I'm trying to find something that isn't tribal. Maybe go hard into skeletons with Tinybones.
>>97235493Not sure what part of my post brought that on. I'm guessing you don't like Pantlaza?
>>97235500>Maybe go hard into skeletons with Tinybones.Is this bait? Tinybones makes a terrible skellie commander.Just pick something with a specific theme or goal.
>>97235426Azusa Planeswalker retcon when?
Oozes are my favorite tribe, but I haven't built a dedicated ooze deck yet.
>>97235521>Is this bait?Nah, just want to find a balance between discard and something thematic and fun. Yeah it's not going to be very powerful, but that's not what I want to build. Idk maybe rogues and treasure tokens could work as well.
Post tokens
>>97235500>RS3 Zanikshame
>>97235503Yeah, "seasoned" players just net deck or pull from nothing but top cards in edhrec.Not a dig as you specifically, but can't rag tribal players for not being creative when, conservatively, 90% of the player base just leeches off the 10% who are creative.Just look at Artist's talent for a recent example, every one thought that was a trash card and a bulk rare until someone figured out a way to have it be a core engine at a standard tourny, now every one is gobbling it up to follow suit.Happens all the time.
>>97235569back to your containment thread, spammer >>97234806
>TQcounterspell tribal
>>97235405>TQI've had a couple. Started with human tribal with Kyler and zombies with Muldrotha. Haven't played either in probably nearly a year or more but they were fun starting out. Since then the only tribal stuff I've tried was building Ashcoat recently. Only got to try it at one game night before the Christmas break but I liked how he and his rats were playing out.
>>97235583yeah nobody answered me there because they're too busy bitching about Lorwyn having too much purple, so I came here where people actually talk about cards
>>97235569
>>97235569I would use this if I ever build that fairy deck I always wanted>>97235600>AI slop
>>97235573Objectively the cutest version of her.
>>97235405>Do you have a tribal deck? What tribe?I'm a tribal scrub, so many. Rats, merfolk, slivers, goblins, angels, myr. And some "theme" tribals like non-humans, artifact creatures, or flyers. Even my decks that aren't explicitly tribal have some leaning in that direction. Brago has a lot of spirits, Baylen is chock full of bunnies, that sort of thing.
>>97235611wrong
What did you get your Trans GF this Christmas?
>>97235619>he doesn't know
>>97235600Can you make a new years resolution to kill yourself?
>>97235405>TQMono red Barbarians Mono blue Cephalid
>>97235597tokens aren't cards
>>97235634No, but I'll stop posting them for now.
Building this R0 deck.Is the strongest thing you can do with him just turning dorks into dreadmaws then leveraging with dino tribal and power matters?
Wow this is pretty nice; MH3 elemental tribal!
>>97235658you still pay the 4GG to turn
wotc hire me
>>97235692needs to cost and discount 1 more to trigger beans
>>97235692Too out of rate for a common. Would make for a really shit limited.
>>97235715perfect for wotc then
>>97235715It's exclusive to the Boku no Precons.

>>97235670That's the idea>vomit out hand of dorks>cast a dreadmaw>reload with soul's majesty effects>go wide and tall then kill with unnatural growth/overrun effects
Is there any reason someone wouldn't allow this in a casual commander group?
>>97235405My two favorite decks are dragon tribal.My other two decks I only play in special circumstances (playing with people I think lack mental fortitude, or I only have 30 minutes for a game)
>>97235764Because the person playing it is probably playing it in the 99 of a Rin and Seri slop deck, or running Rin and Seri as the """hidden""" commander.
>>97235764Because if they play it with the actual rin and seri it would be bullshit, and if you were going to use this you're absolutely going to be playing rin and seri
how do I teach noobies that they should hold up interaction for someone threatening to end the game and not on some stupid shit the moment they draw it?I've tried reasoning that the reason we keep losing is because they are wasting their removal on a card on the field that can answer an incoming threatthey just keep saying that the repeatable on board removal is too scary and keep kingmaking and I feel I need to build a deck that can get the message across since words won'tare there any other than combo decks that do this?
>>97235780don't steal my presents
>>97235786>>97235790It doesn't actually work with real Rin and Seri beyond the activated ability and being a haste source, because it doesn't make your dog/cat spells the other type, just permanents. It's genuinely not actually very threatening.
>>97235405>Do you have a tribal deck? What tribe?Orcs
>>97235825>It doesn't actually work with real Rin and SeriDoes he know?>beyond the activated abilityOkay he knows.
>>97235405>>TQ>Do you have a tribal deck? What tribe?I get MinotaursYou get Cowards
>>97235460>Is this game worth playing?Yes I play with my old buddies remotely and made new friends at the LGS. Ignore poopdickschizo whining about UB, Commander improved my social life.
>>97235807I wish I knew. I really do. one guy in my pod only uses counterspells to counter any spell regardless of what it is, because the slighted him in some way.A guy was playing Yuna and tutored for fucking walking ballista to the top of his library, then other clown countered spelled my commander that would just let me draw a little bit to try and find an answer to remove his yuna before he combo'd off because I attacked him for 3 to make a junk token.2 turns ago.They also don't understand the point worrying about what is actually a threat over what may be a threat somewhere down the line, so better instantly cast an unoverloaded vandal blast to destroy that millennium calendar without any counters and allow the green player to play his great henge unmolested.
>>97235721Daring today, aremt we?
>>97235825>It doesn't actually work with real Rin and Seri beyond the activated abilityThat's worrisome enough on its own.
>>97235662>elemental spells you cast from your hand haveWhy is it not "Elemental cards in your hand have"?
This looks like fun
>>97235537Doesn't have to be a retcon, she can just have not sparked yet
>>97235870Yeah, but its bant
>>97235655Buy an ad.Now.
>>97235870It's just ok, the Human tribal part doesn't mesh amazingly with the spell recursion part
>>97235878>Yeah, but its bantDont remind me.
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>97235882Ad for what? Not selling anything.
>>97235883>It's just ok, the Human tribal part doesn't mesh amazingly with the spell recursion part-shrug- this is the kind of deck I like building because its fairly simple. > commander:WUG type:humanFind good human creatures. Run generic ramp/draw/removal/counter spells with some finisher maybe like Expropriate. Simple but good.
>>97235662>They turned ashling into 5c abilityslop I will burn this company to the ground
>>97235500Man, I loved the cave goblin quests. Dorgesh-Kaan is where I like to bankstand in OSRS.
>>97235934Color identity did this.
>>97235934she's just a normal red card with the 5 color symbols shoved there randomly so she can fit elementals there lmao
>>97235485>Most people are too stupid to understand how the brackets are supposed to work anyways.Including Gavin desu
>>97235825Nah nah they got a point>Have fake Rin & Seri and real Rin & Seri on the board>Cast one chump dog>Get 2 dog cats with haste>Real Rin & Seri deal bogus damage to a target, you gain bogus health
>>97235939>Color identity did this.What is a color identity? How is Ashling (red/black) in any way wubrg?
>>97235405What is some people's obsession with rats? Is it some mental illness?
>>97235962They're cute litty guys. It's not that complicated
>>97235962They are the original furry tribe, dating back to Kamigawa times.
>>97235953The devs staple wubrg pips onto shit because of color identityDont be coy
>>97235953>How is Ashling (red/black) in any way wubrg?Elementals, as in, the Lorwyn tribe, are WURBG with an emphasis on red. And she's a red card, she just has the color symbols shoved there to make it possible to make a Commander deck with elementals of all five colors, because you can only put cards in a deck that align with the color pips anywhere in the card (color identity)
>>97235953Uhmm, sweaty... you did NOT just dead-color her? Who the hell do you think you are. Ashling has ALWAYS been Red/Blue! Be better.
I'd like to do soldier tribal, but all of the good ones are mono white
>>97235934No you wont. You'll keep buying product.
>>97235983Soldier Typal*
>>97235987No, its trible, fuck off with your woke bullshit
>>97235979There is nothing wrong on admiting she used to be black. She should celebrate her roots, not shun it.
>>97235992If you insist on this terminology, we may permit you to use "kindred". That is as much of a compromise as you will be offered.Any further complaints will be taken as advocating for racism. We hope you make the correct choice.
>>97235405>TQI have a Temur Dinosaurs deck in order to fulfill my desire to turn cardboard sideways and smash face with indestructible super dinos.
>>97236004>...we may permit you to...there is more than one tranny on this board besides the mod ?
>>97235876Azusa, Returning Home2GGG+1 Create a 1/1 Elf Soldier token named Richard+0 Exile all cards from Universe Beyond sets or with mana cost WURBG from the battlefield.-5 Create an emblem that says "Players cannot play cards from Universe Beyond sets, or cards with mana cost WURBG."(3)
>>97236004I don't need your permission, faggot.Tribal, Tribal, Tribal, Tribal.
>>97236037Now I want to have stax cards banning certain sets. Although, hard stax on legendaries would be enough, I guess. Legendaries are the cancer or UB.
>>97235983Caesar.
>>97235962Some of them are cool and they've gotten a bit of support here and there over the years.
>>97235600Why is the treasure a green elf
Its tribble
>>97235962Rats are smart, cute, social animals that make good pets. They're also a good tribe in mtg
Which is better in the Zone?
>>97236115Through my play testing with both as alternate commanders Gonti draws less hate.Gonti's any mana clause is better as well other than having to rely on treasures to cast spells you steal that aren't black
>>97236115the prics has dropped, but, i am 1000% sure the d.e.i. sheeboon menace of the shitwave infecting the art is intentional just to jack the price on actual nice glas like Rev that dont hurt the eyes
>>97236115>rightdeath touch means people are less likely to blockyou get a treasure to spend on anything>leftbetter if you have multiple creatures with evasion already, but not as common in black as other colors also benefits opponents
>>97236142>but not as common in black as other colorsBlack has a massive shit ton of shadow creatures
>>97236140This is mental illness.
>>97236140Meds.Now.
>>97236115>Person playing massive life gain deck>Another playing Krenko>While I'm playing Gonti>Krenko player basically kills the life gain player through mill by stealing his entire libraryFunny shit. I then lost, but still.
>>97236153>>97236155get fucked.- is your arguement is that the art for Rev is unflattering to women ?- or a sheeboon shitskin would see more and demand a higher price ?
>>97235938Very based anon. It's my favorite quest line too, gonna print a few Zanik proxies to slide over the real cards for my goblin deck. She's best girl.What would pic rel work for?
>>97236169Dont make me call you an esl
>>97236169I don't argue with schizo, there's no point
>>97236169I argue you're just a closeted weaboo pederast arguing in bad faith trying to make up a loaded question that isn't as scrawny as your genitals.
>>97236175>>97236194>>97236240so no debate or argument ?- just attacks !?truth always stands tall
>>97236262You took a post about a simple question about mechanics and which of two similar commanders to go off about sheboons.You are as deranged and mentally ill as the woke mob, or trannies or whatever the fuck else you despise.
>>97236275good post."we" dont need another 'discussion' or derailment about how the art has been suffering or not catering to consumers and gooners who are fatigued.
>>97235919Boring
>>97235870I could flash this back for 2 with this commander, right?
>>97236328sure
>>97236311Not really. Curious what you find to be not boring.
>>97236311>11pro : tribal like the tqcon : is not toooo 'fire' / do thing draw a card
>>97236328Yes.Technically, if we format the after the spell effect , It would be Father to son, 1WSorceryYadayadaFlashback: 1WFlashback 4WWWYou can pay either or.
>>97236336Decks where you're not just playing solitaire goodstuff pile fishing/tutoring for your finisher like this:>generic ramp/draw/removal/counter spells with some finisher maybe like ExpropriateSpellslinging is boring.
>>97236360>solitaireProjection. Theres nothing stopping it from running removal spells and interaction. What the fuck ISNT solitaire by your standards
