For those who didn't catch it:

Duel Commander is finished. The last good remotely popular (singleton) format with a reasonable banlist and no politics BS: gone.

What the fuck are these people actually smoking. As if WOTC wasn't doing enough damage to the game.

It's 1v1 commander with no politics BS and a sensible banlist. Same deckbuilding rules. Similar to Historic Brawl on arena which is shit because it allows gamewarping cards like TOR.

Didn't know that existed. I've just always had an EDH deck I designed to play against one other player. I never knew it was a separate format. Since when? Like I'm going to change my deck because of some WotC BS.
>>
>>97642424
>Elder Dragon Highlander (which you mistakenly refer to as Commander)
There is no such format as Elder Dragon Highlander and never has been.
>>
>>97642433
Cope and seethe. Duel Commander was your last hope for a color limited Commander-centric singleton format. You are not technically a human being, therefore you are not capable of understanding the truth. Sad.
>>97642437
>Didn't know that existed
It's not an official WOTC format. It bans cards like Maddening Hex which are designed to be balanced around multiplayer games but become utterly broken in 1v1. While in EDH (commander) you have cards like Rhystic Study which are not incredibly good in 1v1 like in Multiplayer.
>>97642438
Yes, there is (and was). We know this because this why you take 21 "commander damage" to lose in the game that you today call Commander, because all the original Elder Dragons you used as your "commander" all had 7 power, for an even 3 hits to win.
>>

And again you use the word "tranny" to distract yourself from the fact that you are not a human with relevant opinions, but an NPC. Luckily you're in good company, there are hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of you and you did a great job ruining Elder Dragon Highlander already.

You almost certainly own WOTC cardboard. You are pathetic.

So I decided to dust off an old forgotten habbit of mine and went out of my way to start building a tribal deck. I figured there might be some interesting support cards I could play. And yet, to my absolute dismay, I realize that the only actual good tribal card that exists in the game is this fucking thing.

Its like... why? Why in all the years of magic is it so hard to print generic tribal support that this card is the only thing I'm actually happy to put in my deck. It fucking baffles me.

No I don't care about the 10th fucking tribal emblem effect. Hell, even 3tree city is better for token spam. Lorwynn came and went and it barely nothing among it actually makes playing tribal any more viable.

>>97643073

When I talk about generic tribal support I am talking specifically about colorless cards. And I already mentioned 3tree city. The only one I'll give you is urza's incubator but that is sign of the problem that we still have nothing better than that, or even a sidegrade.

It has no special interaction with explore. Artifacts are lands on the field. It's not a Mycosynth Lattice where all cards you OWN are artifacts. And you should only play the pizzas if you have no shame. I have shame and will not be playing them despite Cryogen Relic being my favorite common.

I just sleeved up and test my janky Progenitus deck, that has every single exalted card in it. It's bad bros. I realized that exalted is useless without some kind of evasion or else you're attacking for 50 but getting chump blocked. I'm already seriously low on card draw, interaction and ramp, so not sure what to do. I also through in every single liege card for shits and giggles. Getting Proggy out is GG though, but I only have one mana doubler in it now. Might have to go that route. Who knows. It will never brak into bracket three.l

I know, but when I got 6 mana and a shitty little 1/1 attacking for 20 because of exalted and a True Conviction up, it get's blocked by some 0/1 plant or 4/4 flyer. It gets chump blocked all day long until Progenitus comes out, and ain't no serious pod going to let that happen.

Exalted is an awful mechanic. Not in theory, but it pales in comparison to +1/+1 counters since it requires a giant janky board state.
>>
>>97643189
I don't care. I just like the concept of one creature just doing massive damage. It's a cheap 5 color deck I'm putting together with extra cards. Thankfully the few missing exalted cards I needed were dirt cheap. I just want to get it at least working some of the time so I need to get it cooking.

They looked at how mildly successful is Yu-gi-oh! Genesys format and decided to copy it's design elements, except shoehorned into commander and with complete ignorance towards the fact that MTG has more cards and confusing edge cases.

Progenitus needs an ungodly amount of ramp to work. Whatever you think is enough probably isn't. It is one of the slowest voltrons in the whole game.
>>
>>97643328
progenitus also sucks as a voltron general because 21 commander damage means without any buffs you have to swing *three* times to kill a player in which case you might as well just add him in the 99 for him to kill a player in four hits, assuming you add him at all

The only exalted cards worth playing for Progenitus are Rafiq, Finest Hour and the gay little mana dorks. You only really need one exalted guy and a double strike/extra combat enabler anyway.

If you must know I played edh most actively during 2009 and 2015 and have recently returned to it. The first deck I ever played in the format was a Kiki-Jiki pile that a friend built for me.
>>
>>97644364
No. In real formats you can usually guess like 70 of the 75 after two land drops. In edh, you have the context queues from the board, and only a small portion of cards matter, so you can reason your way through it fairly easily.

I'd really like to see something like it because there's enough redundancy to have focused gameplans for a ton of archetypes but there'd still be enough variance to make games fresh. Lower life totals and more streamlined decks just sounds like a more ideal way to play the game to me.

make a like 60 card deck that's strongly themed and play Xv1 against it, it just plays the top card of its deck every turn, maybe an extra 1 for every few players. roll for targets, rotate the player who controls its targeting, or just have the players consensus whatever the target is.
or just play sentinels of the multiverse

Agreed. I can't think of any archetype in EDH that doesn't function at all in 60-card aside from the most durdly of nonsense. The more aggressive cutting process also really helps me hone in the essence of the deck I want to build as well.

Agreed, the deck I made is literally just 36 1-2c slivers across all 5 colors and 4x Lifecrafter's Bestiary for card draw. None of the 5c ones just the basics with 4x Secluded Courtyard and 4x Unclaimed Territory for easier mana colors. It's quite fun

Wait, what? It puts an attacking creature on the battlefield during the damage step and after blockers? Damage doesn't use the stack and all damage resolution happens at once so how does this even work? What happens if you put another creature with first strike onto the battlefield? Does it miss the timing for dealing damage that turn?

>702.7c Giving first strike to a creature without it after combat damage has already been dealt in the first combat damage step won’t preclude that creature from assigning combat damage in the second combat damage step. Removing first strike from a creature after it has already dealt combat damage in the first combat damage step won’t allow it to also assign combat damage in the second combat damage step (unless the creature has double strike).
Yeah, it just deals normal combat damage. The only thing it would mess up is double-strike because the first damage phase has already passed.
Which also means giving that thing double-strike will cause funny interactions as well.

No it's an enchantment except for when you choose to cast the instant and then it's an instant on the stack only. If a card says you can only cast an instant then you can't cast that because it's an enchantment as far as other cards are concerned

In-universe storytelling died with blocks dying. WotC doesn't have to worry about writing a whole ass story with UB because they just have to get the vibes right and coast off memberberries and easter eggs.

I just don't think Magic can convey a good story with one set per plane, even with supplemental comics and short stories. You can get cool characters occasionally, but not a good overarching story. I get that Hasbro is a business, and each subsequent set in a block earned less, but man it sucks that art dies to fiduciary duty.

I've built my y'shtola deck as an "I draw cards, this makes you mill" with a few of the different Teferi's tutelage cards. I don't think it's a great deck since it's adding even more steps to a bad gameplan, but I also get to play different style of mill gameplay and interact with the board in general a bit more which I'm a fan of.

>>97646792
I am pretty selective in terms of the UB I actually like, LotR,and FF were mostly good, Warhammer was good and Fallout was mechanically interesting and well constructed but pretty marginal in terms of theming. Otherwise I just haven't found any UB wildly compelling, however I found the UW version of spiderman a lot more aesthetically interesting than the actual spiderman set.

There is something about Magic's world that makes things grandiose, larger than life, and to a real sense magical. They are glimpses at a much larger and alive world and I think the lack of block sets has seriously dampened the ability to expand on many of the themes present in releases. Many of the hat sets would have been benefitted both mechanically and thematically with further releases, and I think no matter how good a given set is, either UW or UB we will struggle to have the same staying power because we are forced to just move on rather than explore Mirrodin block or Alara, or even get more than a single look at current Tarkir or Lorwyn.

Aye, fair. It just feels like a shame not to use them, but selling them off would be too much of a hassle. People at my LGS rarely do trades because everyone just buys the singles they need, so people are rarely wanting for anything in particular unless it's from a new set or its some primo piece.

I personally don't hate UB and I am a big lotr/ff fan. I think the art, writing, and card design in Magic in general is absolutely terrible regardless of sets, and I think the concept of sets themselves are fucking terrible because they're trying to design cards for several wildly different formats, including one which most people who play it play it exactly once, while trying to include cards with intentionally unbalanced designs to motivate sweatlords to buy packs in the first place.

Anyone crying about UB is a retard. The game's problems and failings are way deeper than just the art on cards.

I'd suggest building him but do with stuff that just overfills everyone's hands, a friend of mine does it with Tergrid where it's all the demons and various "drawbacks" that make everyone draw a lot of cards for him getting a moderately sized low cost beater; he gets their stuff at their end step just through them not being able to cast 12 extra cards in a turn. it makes the stealing feel more honest since it's not from depriving people of resources.

That said Tinybones is a harder one because you not only have to get them to discard, you also have to be able to afford it. You might just build it as group hug with a shit ton of extra mana cards.

That's interesting take on it. Just give everything in excess and capitalize on the leftovers. The only problem I can see is that players will get to sculpt their hands and will hand you unplayables when possible.

The most fun thing you can do with discard is self discard. Discarding the table is hard control and will get treated like that.

>>97647921
Common experience for me, but I had to learn it's because most people aren't as autistic and wasteful with their cash as I am and aren't willing to spend hours adapting their decks in response to meta. They have their fantasy in mind when enjoying magic more than enjoying the interactions between players like I do (i played 60 card and they didn't)
>>
>>97647849
Yes. As I grow in my MTG and EDH journey I find myself drawn to stuff like PreDH, janky themed decks and pauper. As long as you play against similar powered decks, you're going to have a good time.

At this point, I can't tell if I'm the faggot for playing the board wipe or if my friends are faggots for being such crybabies.

Both, probably. The etiquette is whatever the group thinks leads to the most fun games. Scooping in response to board wipes is bitchmade. Boardwiping in low power levels turn the game into a slog, since players already struggle to find ways to close the game.
>>
>>97648416
Board wipes without breaking parity just prolong the game. So if youre doing that youre kind of a numpt. Single target removal is king for a reason, you can disrupt their gameplan instead of just flipping the table.
>>
>>97648416
Board wipes are absolutely nessiary in this game when somebody can just cheat out giant creatures with shroud/hex proof or shit out 300 1/1s. Interaction is the lifeblood of magic and if they don't like it they can go play competitive solitaire with the yugi boys

None of your schizo headcanon actually happened though. It was a Sorcery that targeted only Artifacts and Enchantments. I specifically tried to target cards that gave them hexproof/shroud/indestructible/etc.

I made sure not to target cards that gave them card draw or anything that I felt was a part of their deck's gameplan. I left quite a few of their Artifact Creatures and commander still alive. And they still scooped. It's like the pod just wants to attack risk-free and you're expected to take it.

She's more valuable as a 99 piece. She can, for example, come down on turn 3, you play any commander that needs to attack at 4 mana (like Azula) and she can trigger them on turn 4 instead of 5. She can double triggered effects of essentially any commander/legendary that's not an etb as long as you do it during combat (Steal 2 creatures as an Edea for example).

>>97649096

It puts you technically behind in land count so you can still use your catch up ramp. The catch up ramp cards are often good enough that you'll end up being ahead or caught up in lands fast so you need something that keeps you mana positive but behind on lands.

Alright yeah it's not the best comparator, prevention vs recovery is a fine line but I can't off the top of my head think of a more comparable effect since one of it's modes is just "fuck I don't want to lose all my stuff in a boardwipe"
It can help salvage your board state through board clears but also has proactive use cases like saccing shit and bringing them back on your turn like those black scam effects, but this is way better because you get your choice after your shit goes rather than needing to prep it.

If you're using it defensively it's mediocre, if you're doing proactive stuff with it, it's pretty damn good.

But it wasn't. That's like saying if the mana rock was a board wipe or a counterspell. Cutting 1 type of card from your deck doesn't suddenly make you draw the cards you need in a given situation.

Not a single one of my decks has more than 2 or 3 rocks. And thats only because they actually fit into the theme. For example Ellyn has this one, because its great in a token deck.

No i think youre just actually retarded kr just incredibly dishonest. In the scenario given, if rocks were replaced with lands, then the rock you played.... would be a land. Probability isnt relevant here. You had a rock, and it was replaced with lands.

Uh, what?

Yeah. She has an OF and charges outrageous prices. No nudity that I know of, but from the pics she posted you can tell she has had a kid by all the stretchmarks around her stomach and hips. Beezy is a cuck. Joe Cherries the gay is actually more straight. Funny.

The fuck do you mean by “hits green”
It has green or it doesn’t have green?
If it has green then:
>Rampant Growth
>Cultivate
>Kodama’s Reach
>Explore
>Farseek
>Three Visits
>Nature’s Lore
Congrats you now know how to ramp.

If it doesn’t have green then we need to know what colors you DO have
