Then what you want is land ramp up to 3cmc.
Nature's lore, three visits, farseek if you need fixing, cultivate, kodama's reach.
Sol ring if your average cmc is above 2.5 without lands.
Anything beyond that should be synergistic or more land ramp (rampant growth, harrow, wood elves).

Depends entirely on your group. Some games it will draw and draw and others it will just sit there and do nothing.
>>
>>97240926
Rishkar's, Season, Return, Kyoshi, Lifestream
in that order assuming no other synergies.
>>
>>97240912
the first one needs to tap so it can be turned off by kismet type effects, but it's the same rate as ritual plus it burns you. it's probably fine.
the second one is too strong, even as colorless, maybe even tapped. colorless mana matters a decent amount now.
>>
>>97240926
it obviously depends on what deck you're playing
if you've got fatties you want expertise, if you're going wide or have the option to you get return, etc.

People have been asking for sol ring to be banned since the first time they printed it in a precon. It's not a good measuring stick for balancing cards.
>>
>>97240954
Sol Ring can only exist because it was grandfathered into the format by the original founders. It is banned in Legacy, restricted in Vintage, and every 1v1 commander variant like Duel or Leviathan bans it. It's genuinely Mox-tier in brokenness.

I think you're underestimating Kyoshi as any blink effect or counter manipulation can trigger her again, and she turns into the strongest version of a mana dork. The land as an extra body is also nice.
I would say Rishkars and Wildspeaker are also up there, Wildspeaker being a potential finisher (though I think it is expensive compared to stampede or something), and Rishkars a 5cc free cast is nice but it depends on what.
>>
>>97240998
I think he means the player thought Narset Enlightened Exile couldn't exile a sorcery and cast it as part of her resolution and thought you would have to wait until main phase two to cast it at sorcery speed. And same with cascade. Which is a wild mistake to make.
>>
>>97240998
I swung and tried to cast call forth the tempest from someone's graveyard and he said it wouldn't work because its a sorcery. I explained that, yes I could, effects like hers and the cascade allow it to buypass timing restrictions and he said no, cascade didn't let me do that either and that's one of the reasons cascade is overrated.
>>
>>97241027
so Kyoshi is strong in counter or blink decks, wildspeaker is strong in wide decks and rishkar is strong in decks with fatties, which both of us just said that it depends on the deck / synergies you have

Bait but I do find it funny how a similar situation emerged in my playgroup.
All I do is play dragon decks. I do not run any creatures in my decks unless they are a dragon (changelings do not count fuck you). However I'm also the best deckbuilder in the group by a lot by sole virtue of realizing my decks should maybe include card selection and focus the deck on one thing instead of five. The takeaway other players got was "dragons are OP" and started trying to build dragon decks.

Rule 0 has always been a thing. Discussion of power level were always a thing.
Brackets made it much, much easier to tell when the person who used to say their deck was a 5-7 was is actually lying to you because now you know exactly was is meant for each bracket you're playing it.
I can only assume if you don't like this fact, its because you're just a faggot pubstiomper and now its harder, though not impossible, to bullshit people.

I don't proxy them and nta but I think everyone should have access to them.
Running a bad land base just because you don't want to spend money on a better one just makes your deck stumble more often because of bad luck and bad draws. That doesn't make for interesting gameplay, especially when paying more money will just make your deck objectively better as the alternative.

Rule 0 there doesnt need to be a banlist you can just rule 0 anything you dont like.
The entire point of the banlist is to homogenize how people play despite it being a 4fun format.
The psychology of the banlist means no one will allow you to play any banned card even if its not that bad.
The banlist exists entirely to make narcissist descision makers feel like they are important, its easier to just have no bans and rule 0 anything you dont like as a playgroup.
>>97241395
Og duals in terms of price/power is not that good.
You have 40 life losing 2 is pretty negligible.
People complain about Og duals because they are unironically just a symbol of opression to poor magic players and its funny because the cards in terms of power are pretty benign, fetch lands are significantly more powerful in most decks.
Just another case of "I want what you have and if you dont give it to me im going to ban it"

Those are actually very piss poor by themselves, but are powerful when used correctly.

on top of that its extremely jewish trickery to convince you to use a system that will transparently put new players on an expensive elevator ride to (((bracket 4))) instead of organically discovering new cards in a fun way through kitchen table play, and to somehow think you're getting value out of doing it

Depends on your deck and your meta. In bracket 2 and low 3, you can get away with mostly creature removal. In bracket 3 and high 3, you want a mix. In bracket 4 and cedh, noncreature removal and counterspells are more valuable.
In casual play especially, the more versatile your removal, the better. I'v One Generous Gift and one Beast Within you know will get rid of what you need it to is better than a Swords to Plowshares and a Nature's Claim that are more efficient but might not hit what needs to go, and you'll likely have the time to find the mana you need to play them. The opposite becomes more true as you move from casual to competitive.

EVERY CEDH rank requires those cards? Sure lower brackets dont but its *fine* to actually play CEDH every once in a while with a pod (I actually dont care for CEDH, its too cheezy and B4 is about the peak where its super optimized pet decks but its whatever).
Its especially more prevalent as the power curve has turned up overtime.

I think I finally figured out why I enjoy artifact decks the most from what I've played so far and I guess it might be just my ADHD leaking
even if my hand is shit, I'm losing, have dogshit boardstate etc., I'm at least almost always able to do SOMETHING practically every turn
most artifacts tap for something, draw you a card, fetch a card from the graveyard, look at the top card
fuck, even if I'm essentially paying 3 mana and 2 life just to put two 0/1 goats on to the battlefield 2 turns in a row, it feels better than just casting dragon fodder and passing
am I retarded? do other deck types have similar feel?

Fetches are infinitely more powerful than true duals.
Shocks + Fetches is drastically stronger than ABUduals + Shocks.

The problem is proxying isn't intrinsically power, it's that the average commander player has the self-control and intelligence of the average toddler.

Unfortunately, price is often the only thing insulating the average retard's opening from being t1 Vampiric Tutor, t2 Arcane Signet, t3 The One Ring. This means that banning proxies often gives you a goldilocks window where people are playing decks of reasonable power before they start whaling on cards. So many players are under the illusion that allowing players access to every card irrespective of price is the problem, when in reality it's the fact that most commander players are retards.

No wonder Americans are so fat and dumb. They gladly revel in mediocrity because they think that if something isn't personally fun they shouldn't do it, even if it means to better themselves. For your own health you should exercise and do some basic cooking and exercise. Sure making pies or some shit every week can be a hobby, but thats not inexpensive. Reading and writing is important for learning, even it its just websites or how-to books. Drawing on that list is the only "hobby", and I put that with music, gaming etc.
