But have you built a deck that aims to not just be unfun, but ultimately to hard lock the game such as Tomorrow + Possessed Portal? Maybe not as a daily driver, but one that you would take out whenever you feel especially deviant/someone just pissed you off; how did the deck do before the pod whined/begged you to stop using it?
>>97951108Good thread>TQ: Much has been said about decks with infinites. But have you built a deck that aims to not just be unfun, but ultimately to hard lock the game such as Tomorrow + Possessed Portal? Maybe not as a daily driver, but one that you would take out whenever you feel especially deviant/someone just pissed you off; how did the deck do before the pod whined/begged you to stop using it?I've long thought about making a deck that just constantly forces the opponent to make choices, but never a stalemate engine.
>>97951108TQ:No. I never build decks to be unfun because it defeats the purpose of play. Demonstrating a hard lock or other non-victory state is novel in discussion but ultimately boring in play for all involved parties.For the same reason, I've even removed deterministic infinites from my decks when I've found them. I want to be an active participant, not a spectator to my own win. If a player at the table is irritating me I'll just pick a more powerful and consistent deck for the level everyone's playing at and try to knock them down a peg next shuffle-up.
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>codie>approachis there any card that will win the game on the spot desu
>>97951108>TQI built a Hokori deck pre-brackets filled with all the hatred I could pour into it for particular people I played with at the time. Ward of Bones, Armageddon, Magus of the Tabernacle, Hushbringer, Aven Mindcensor, the works. It was not popular but in retrospect it wasn't even very fun to play because all the removal in the world got hurled at it (justified, but it sucked.)
Are there any fun viable mono blue aggro decks
>>97951108>TQClosest I've come to that is Possessed portal in Unesh. It won games but I didn't enjoy it very much
>words words words words words tqNot reading your novel phaggot learn to bake.
>>97951389TQ written by Google Gemini
>>97951108>
>>97951544I think me and Lavinia are on the same wavelength. We should date.
'Member when Jace was the king of Ravnica and leader of the Avengers?
>>97951108>TQNot really, I tend to try to steer away from those kind of unfun straps but I did recently do the Toph, The First Metalbender + The Stasis Coffin combo but idk if that counts.
>>97951579I still like Jace more than recent characters thoughtbeit.
>>97950675You don't even have to bait, you could just ask lol I won't do everything, but I'm not opposed to doing something here and there>>97950683Anon(you) in the middle>TQI guess Urza with Static Orb is probably as close as I've come, I never particularly find winning that way satisfying. For me, Magic's ultimate ideal tends to focus on using a bunch of cool permanents to either bash someone's face in or burn them out, hence why the major ways I win in most decks are burn/drain or just swinging instead of any "you win the game" cards. Even my highest power deck outright avoids most things like that and I rely on trying to Surveil/Self-Mill Apocalypse Demon to make Golbez kill people lmao>>97951324Probably Malcom, Keen-Eyed Navigator by my guess. Focus on making artifact tokens through swinging with him, other small flying dudes like Storm Fleet Navigator, but instead of trying to win through the normal artifact combos, use stuff like Broodstar, Master of Etherium, Shambling Suit, etc as huge beaters. Cyberdrive Awakener would also do well in a deck like that for turning a massive pile of dogshit tokens directly into a 4/4 flying armada.
I sneak stuffy doll + pariah into my decks, but that's a different game lock.
One person in my playgroup is always using a precon and I'm sick of powering down to match precon level. I wanna play my good shit even if it means raping my friends.
>>97951785Thank you swordbros
>>97951324Viable? Flying men has been an archetype for decades.Fun? Ehhh
>>97951389>>97951474Uh oh melty
ban sol ringban rhystic studyban tutors
>>97952166See you can copy thread memes easily enough so why can't you learn to copy good bakers and not have a blogpost as the tq. Your question can be summed up in 20 words.
>>97952196
>>97952166Sorry, I guess I gave you too much credit. TQ by Grok.
>>97951324Sea monsters. Octopus, Krakens, Leviathans, and Serpents.
>>97952189Why should tutors be banned in edh just because singleton while nobody cries about 60 card's quadrupleton spirit being defiled by tutors?
>>97951324How much do you like fish
>>97952312Because all the playable tutors either get banned or end up getting a card banned.
>>97952354>if i cant play demonic tutor you shouldnt be able to play transmute cards
>>97951864Lend him one of your decks or help him upgrade one of his precons to match the table.
>>97952393>Muddle the Mixture
Has anyone tried the Prismari alt commander? Is it as busted as it seems?
>>97951864Encourage him to upgrade his deck? This person is supposed to be your friend right?
>>97952413>muddle is getting banned guys two more weeks
>>97952312>while nobody cries about 60 card's quadrupleton spirit being defiled by tutors?People do complain about them. Regularly. Notoriously, even. Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor have restrictions on them in every single format short of kitchen table, cited specifically for their violation of card limits.The conversation is only different there because none of the other formats have a bracket system to begin with. And again, these are in formats where you're already allowed 4 copies of the most broken shit imaginable
>>97952439>>97952412It's not only one person, it's a constant rotation of one guy getting a new precon as someone else upgrades theirs. There's almost always somebody there playing with a barebones out of the box precon deck.
>>97951848I do this and never lose monarch for the rest of the game
>>97952312What are you talking about? EDH is the only format where they aren't restricted in some way.
>>97951108Behold
>>97952454And yet worldly tutor isnt banned/restricted in any format it's legal in without anyone complaining so clearly the issue is a tutor's power level and not some autistic sentiment like "muh singleton format"
>>97952484BEHOLD
>As ever, complain about this if you want, locking this thread because y’all have demonstrated you cannot stay on-topic, within the rules, and civil, whenever unions come up.>Post stays up for information. If you wanna argue about unions, do that somewhere else.
>>97952492
>>97952474And why would they be?
>>97952431So i herd u liek mulldrifters
>>97952485It's a bracketed singleton.The reason it isn't banned in other formats is because its power is offset by the fact you still need to draw the card.That makes less of a difference in commander because1) When you use tutors in singleton, you are effectively doubling, tripling, or quadrupling the best card in your deck. 2) When you're running a commander, you always have a piece of the combo in your opening hand.Your whataboutisms are valid complaints if you don't actually understand what a singleton is or how edh works
>>97952511Because they flagrantly violate card limits.
>>97952534Tutors violate quadrupleton 60 card too but no one is crying about that
>>97952558Are you jewish?
I'm building pic related and I need some decent ways to make the colorless guys hit face, so far I was using march of the world ooze and pyrewood gear hulk to close games, anything like that? No, I'll not use craterhoof, fuck off
>>97952532>edh is a special snowflake 60 card can get fuckedGot it
>>97952592Yes. Edh gets special treatment because it is a singleton format with a Commander. That does, indeed, warp the game's dynamics significantly.
>>97952614I hear your whining but thankfully sheldon blesses us tutorchads and rhystichads and sol ring chads for the rest of time
>IF I CAN'T RUN TUTORS MY CHANCES OF DOING THE THING DRASTICALLY DECREASE!>I MUST DO THE THING EVERY SINGLE GAME!
>>97952642The logical conclusion of "let me do the thing" is to have a bunch of tutors, problem?
>>97952622I unironically love how often people use this argument unironically because now that Sheldon is dead you can use "But Sheldon wanted it this way" for anything possible argument and he's not around to refute it.
>>97952649And yet it's only natural to think of sheldon as banning cards whenever he felt like it, how else could he have created his infamous "you did this to yourself" ruhan deck if rhystic wasnt legal?
>>97952649I asked Sheldon's ghost and he said he's okay with tutors as long as you are using them to search for Craw Wurm and other assorted terrible cards.
>>97952715If I invent a format, or successfully coopt it as the inventor, of course I'm going to ban or unban on a whim. Don't like it? Don't follow it. I don't owe you shit, you're scum
>>97952769Correct that's why sheldon's ghost protects us chads forevermore >>97952622
Alternate TQ: You have been given the ability to errata-merge two creature types into one, or split one existing creature type into two. What's your choice?
With MagicCon Vegas' imminent arrival, we are likely to get some previews for 2027. What absolute dogshit are you expecting now that the mandate of heaven has left our beloved game?

Have you ever caught someone in the pod cheating? Wat do?
>>97952883To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
>>97952892Let him choose between a beating or having some cards destroyed.
>>97952943It's a casual format
>>97952953Let him choose between a casual beating or casually having some of his cards destroyed.
>>97952953Casual format, serious business
>>97952580
Mana Drain and Dark Ritual should get errata to still cause mana burn so they function as intended.
You got your "make the fatass at your LGS seethe" pack, right?
>>97952785>Outlaw>Undead>Magician>Civilian
>>97952892I shanked his car's tires. Surprisingly that's just something you can do with no consequences if you know where the cameras are
>>97953025>paypigging on SL to make other random retards "seethe"Interesting
>>97952580I like Eldrazi Monument. It protects Yarus, it gives everyone evasion+a boost, and the cost to keep it in play can even be used to flip creatures if you don't have other sac outlets. It's also a colorless spell, which triggers a bunch of other stuff in the deck
>>97953025I am fat and I'm seething grrIf you bought 5 more I would be devastated
Liberty Biberty or Dr. Madison Li as the commander for the precon?
>>97953025Anon, we've all seen bronies in public. We know what they look like. I don't know what you're hoping to accomplish by supporting what is unambiguously Hasbro's most shameless promotion.
>>97953054The fag pride one is way worse
>>97953058Yeah, but hasbro doesn't open the rights to faggots
>>97953054>most shameless That hasn't happened until they do a full MLP UB set.
>>97953064>OpenMeant to say "own"
>>97953030Elaborate on Magician and Civilian?
>>97953045Liberty Prime because mecha
>>97953088NTA but if I'm understanding it right. Magician should be wizard and Civilian should be citizen.
>>97951378You should put these up on etsy at some point.
>>97953025why would this cause any "seething"
>>97953109He probably doesn't have the rights to the art and would get taken down pretty fast. You can see the artist's watermark at the bottom of the image.
>>97953108That's not a merging or splitting of creature types though, that's just an aesthetic relabelingI'm assuming anon wanted to combine all the magic-y types (possible exception of warlock which presumably stays in Outlaw?) into one. But where does this stop? Are Druids now Magicians under this concept? Are Clerics?Does Civilian include Citizen and Peasant, or are others like Advisor in there too?
>>97953121Because he's a delusional petty self absorbed paypig faggot
>>97952484Am I wrong for wanting Marchesa to bully my pathetic chud cock?
>>97951864>talk shit about my friend in an anonymous cross country skiing forum rather than talk to them about it in person
>>97951864Get the Elemental or World Shaper precon to use against him, there both really powerful OOB
Dropped this while playing the new Dina and everyone scooped, I fucking love this deck so much man
Thoughts?
>>97952431Im gonna expand on this- is the Witherbloom precon any good?
>>97953201Immediately sac his ass the moment he gets me an emblem.
>>97953206I fucking love the deck so much, even with just a couple of upgrades its great, out of the box it's fine though
>>97953210>Tfw the sephiroth players has 4 fucking emblems I still have no clue what they were smoking when they made his shit an emblem
>>97953198No one had removal? No one had blockers? No one wanted to play out the turn cycle to see if anyone could draw an answer to the 7-mana do-nothing?
>it's another blue player counters everything and draws the game out another hour episode
>>97952500This General easily has the most bitching, complaining, and dick heads trying to start pointless arguments out of the 5 other general's i visit. Be better anons- tell us what your brewing up
>>97953226You will sit there while I counter everything and fart on you with my 3 catgirls thanks to quantum misalignment and the various infect applicators like Phyresis.
>>97953225Everyone had used removal on the previous turns to deal with all the other cancer on board, and I just sacced it after combat and gained 10k life, then reanimated it
>>97953243Did you have 9 open mana and give it haste, or did it really survive a full turn around the board and then swinging out on your next turn?Either way that's not really the same as what you initially described as people scooping as soon as it entered
What should I ask?
>>97953222>how can we pus- design this card so invest- players will want to play it>FIRE
UNBAN MY ZESTY ELF YOU WOTC FUCKS
>>97953306Ask the blue player if they're still a virgin. We all know the answer is yes, but it's funnier if we hear it out loud.

Has anyone ever tried to make a 100% UB vomit deck that's viable? Like not from one set, but instead every UB smashed together to get a strong b3/4 deck.
>>97953540If you count secret lair and anime cards i think you can get there with yshtola
>>97953125Thanks for pointing it out. Here's the fixed version. >>97953109The entire expansion can be found for free at:https://ln5.sync.com/dl/e6f6e9db0#pdzmq94r-5fvdtcd4-k75tq5is-chi8yvyzThanks for thinking these would be worth something. I feel honored. Aside from what was already pointed out with regards to legal issues, I resent trying to squeeze money out of custom card designs. (or any hobby for that matter.)I get that having things printed costs money, but making people pay for something completely digital is horrible imo.

>>97953575Just fetched ye olde PS4 to my apartment, booted up the only game I knew I had saved - Bloodborne. Just began last night, but I already beat the Cleric Beast (mainly because I learned how to upgrade weapons and farm easier this time around, last time I quit sometime around the flappy skinbeast thing in that room with pillars, though I think I beat it before my passion burned out). (You) played your own little role in making me repris this gem, anon. >>97953226>go to commander night one friday>having a lot of fun, games are fast with skilled players and pretty neat decks>"okay phew it's 10 pm, one last game like this? :)">guy takes out his monoblue deck>3,5 hours later exit in a daze after monoblue player despite largely playing 1v3 for the last 70% of the game goes infinite and has a ruby goldberg of looping triggers meaning he gets to take his 16 (sixteen) counterspells back from his graveyard whenever he so damn well pleases
>>97953025I am the duality of man. I hate the kind of person who likes MLP things, but I also really like the innocent aesthetic and inherent optimism of so many contrasting bright colours.Godspeed, anon.
>>97953739Not that guy, but I got both packs without even knowing much about the series. >pretty good value all things considered in terms of cards>3 of the 6 cards are staples I run in every deck>the art is pretty>never watched or read anything mlp related, but I did fap to it once (does that count?)

>>97953907They are substantially more interesting than your average boros options.

>>97953882Literally Lightning. She's fun as fuck to play.>tell pod they can pick who I bonk for x2 or x4 damage each turn>pod frantically begins pointing at each other trying to convince me to hit someone besides them>tell them to vote on it>this leads to politics and sub politics of trying to bribe each other for votesThe fact she can go instantly lethal with only 7 power and a double strike enabler is nuts.

>>97953931But I don't like Lightning.
>>97953882
>>97953951You obviously like Lightning. You loved that she had three whole games dedicated to her, as well as all those fashion ads.>>97953934That's the entire Boros experience. At least her "that guy eats shit for the entire turn" gimmick can transform her into a politics machine.

>>97953966this dyke is fun as fuck, I recommend
>>97951108>TQNever done it myself because I'm not one to waste time and effort on something I don't enjoy, but one guy at my store did this years back. He was a turboshitter who refused to put more than 25 lands in any of his decks and constantly whined that everyone else was playing "OP" stuff when anyone dropped something 6 CMC or higher. Instead of admitting all the people telling him to just put more lands into his deck were correct, he just got more and more bitter and eventually got fed up and built your classic winconless stax pile to """punish greedy land bases""" (read: decks with a proper amount of lands) and played it maybe 4-5 times before people caught on and stopped playing with him. Last I heard from him he eventually switched over to Warmahordes.Pic rel, he looked kinda like this guy but ginger.
>>97953875Why is it that every time I look at a Dinosaur rare, 7 out of 10 times it looks like someone's shitty unbalanced custom card?
>>97954023Same.

what's a good place to get art alters? I want Ashling to look like Ashling before I start actually fiddling with the deck
>>97954490This fat bastard.
>>97954566>most expensive alt of the card by far>Meanwhile, Mr. Crabs is the most expensive outside of surge foil nonsense.>Egro, since price = popularity your post is already debunked.I will not read for respond to the rest of your wrong coperry.
>>97954570Okay I'll bite, what is wrong with this Ashling's art
>>97954528It's not. It's a slower burn than teens are used to, but when have teens ever had good taste?
>>97954495Yeah I'm sure goblins are somehow much more interesting.
>>97954656NTA, but yes. Most of their card have downsides and can't just be 5 color good stuff piles like dragons can.
been actually having a ton of fun with this crazy lil bastard. I had to try him out from all the goofy ah spam of him, and yeah, mono green bracket 2 leads to some really fun games with him. Mono Green is not the most fun color but its not horrible either.. Deck is just a Voltron set up + great stuff like Rancor and Riding the Dilu horse make for a lot of fun, and actually wins a LOT more often than I thought he wouldfavorite cards to use with are Riding the Dilu horse, or major board resets with Larry Niven's disk since Toski is indestructible. lots of great stuff out there, Shadowspear and Blackblade Reforged make for some great turns. I also run Buster Sword, and various other standard commander things for haste and protection. worst hands are ones with no equipment or ramp which surprisingly this morning I was getting a lot of. Although my last game of the morning I ended up with a wild t11 win with the last opponent being a fierce red blue elemental deckI think it could also be a viable bracket 3 commander but as far as low power mellow battle cruiser, this squirrel is surprisingly resilient and game-winning
>>97954633it is straight up not Ashling. Doesn't match any of her other designs. Not even her ECL art.
>>97954664Dying to removal is not a downside when your commander wins the game on his own so all you need to do is run protection and ramp.
>>97954490Behold, the coolest dragon.
>>97954570I just played with someone with that deck this morning and they did great and almost beat me and they should have won like multiple different turns. the deck ends up much more red than blue which I was surprised by
>efreet are literally hotness personified>none of them are hotFucked up.
>>97954593Mr. Krabs is also a fancy schmancy rainbow foil, therefore must be compared to Smugthering Tithe's fancy schmancy foil.
>>97954570oh wait I think im thinking of different Ashling, spoke too soon
>>97954689That noodle was in Eldraine, he got swagged up and shit
>>97953710Good stuff. Have fun!
>>97954593>I win the argument if I ignore facts!Crabs is a secret lair special treatment foil. By your own metric it already doesn't count but I'll still debunk you regardless. It is a fancy foil from an SLD meaning ot has far more forced scarcity. And even then it doesn't beat the confetti foil price of anime smothering tithe. The cheapest anime normal foil currently available on tcg is $480 despite how much more widely available the anime foil is compared to the crab foil (cheapest price $850). There are only 9 available anime regular foils while there are 3 Mr. crab foils available on tcg atm, which is the exact same number of confetti foils (which are a more apt comparison by card availability) available as crab foils, and the confettis are almost double the price of the mr crabs. So despite the anime foils being available in significantly higher numbers they're still almost half as expensive as the artificially scarce Mr. Crabs foil, and their premier artificial scarce variant - the confetti foil - (which is more directly comparable to Mr. Crabs) is almost double the price of Crabs. If Crabs SM weren't an artificially scarce SLD and just part of a regular set with regular non-foil versions available it'd be cheaper than anime SM.Oh Ho Ho tithe observably and empirically has MASSIVELY more demand than any other SM variant and is one of the more recognized and talked about cards on all platforms. The fact it has such low availability despite its price in variants proves its popularity. Keep seething ESLkun but you're provably wrong.
>>97952330I fucking love fish but I never managed to convert my Ixalan standard deck into a Kumena commander deck. I stopped tinkering long before ECC but that fish looks great.
>>97954689Actually you'll find that this is the coolest dragon.
>>97954570do it yourself
>>97954490This guy by far
>>97954673Speaking of Krenko, how do you effectively keep track of all his nonsense? I'm tempted to make a deck for him since even with a $100 budget he can be a fucking menace.
>>97954774>how do you effectively keep track of all his nonsenseCount how many goblins you have. Turn krenko sideways. Multiply the goblins you have by 2. You can use percentiles dice to track this, or lacking that open notepad on your phone. I'm sure you'll figure out a system if you sit and think hard about it anon.
>>97954499Many, many more things than simple lack of creature removal would have to be true for Jumbo + Dina to win within even 2-3 turns, but sure, it could happen. I just think anon's table scooped too early from the information we've been given.
>>97954774most people who play Krenko have an untap engine that lets them make infinite goblins and call it a day
>>97954786>implying I want to think>implying I am capable of thought
>>97954801Fair enough, my bad for assuming. I suggest just bullying the table nerd into keeping count for you then.
>>97951864Then play a better deck.
>>97952642I'll keep running tutors. Suck my cock.
For me, it's Demonic Tutor
>>97953054>Anon, we've all seen bronies in public.Like a decade ago. People pretending bronies are a thing or issue in 2026 are showing they have a hard time advancing with time.These are the types who end up at age 80 and absolutely refuse to learn new utterly necessary tech to live.
>>97954490By all rights the first set of 2027 should focus on Shenmeng.
>>97954774One goblin token for untapped goblinsOne goblin token for tapped goblinsAnd dice.That's all you need and practice to do it quickly.
>>97954822
>>97954812Which one? They're all nerds.
>>97954845I will not allow this at my table.
>>97954849fkin typo
>>97954862You're free to scoop then fag.
>>97954669Okay so Ashling put on some boots and a sorcerer's robe? Is that really what you're complaining about? Other than than she looks exactly the same as she usually does
Are anime alters based or homosexual? Would (you) be afraid for your anal chastity if I sat in front of (you) with pic related?
Why can't Ashling have tits anymore?
>>97954867Or just toss the dice across the room.
>>97954570>>97954669It's still not perfect, but I like this alt someone made based on the precon box art loads better than the original
>>97954888I'm more upset with your extra newline between the two abilities.
>>97954877No, the horns and face are different and it's clearly a completely different outfit. So yes, I am complaining that Ashling the Limitless looks nothing like Ashling the Anything Else, and it is not unreasonable to seek out an alter that actually looks like Ashling, you bootlicking nigger.
>>97954893Well, you're going to have to take my word that I have 300 goblins then. Your fault.
>>97954895this looks bad
>>97954910just throwing out something slightly better than the awful art on the original
>>97954888You're fine bro.
>>97954910i also found this one, at least she has breats
>Mono-red blood moon isn't as strong as an off-meta CEDH deck like 4s are>No, its not, but its as annoying.>The point as to why you are locked in at 4 is not because you are SO powerful, its because you are SO ANNOYING that you should be forced to ask to be a fagTook this long for a talking head to make such a coherent commonsense reason as to why Bloodmoon is and deserves to be MLD? Really? Well glad it happened anyway.
>>97954902People change their clothes, anon
>>97953499I play guys and swing and win
WotC should make an Azgol set. It's like Dark Souls or some shit. That could be fun.

>>97954975>just ask broIsn't that really the answer for most shit?
>>97954978and their face? Do they change their face? Go fuck yourself, retard.
>>97954954Okay this one is pretty cool, gonna make a custom proxy
>>97955010Yes, but seems most people need to still be told this.
>my pod has become a bunch of people who take 2-3 mulligansThank you, Winds of Change. I’ll always be hooked on you
>>97955016I generally have that conversation at the start of any game.>ok what bracket are we looking for>is there any goofy bullshit that would be considered "too strong" for said bracket>are we playing edh, or are you going to try to end the game on turn 2
>>97955019At least you mulligan and don't do gay ass "good hand" shit
>>97954954>BOOOOBSAre you 12?
>>97955019This card is actually very playable in Nekusar
>>97955012Rage monkey
>>97955012Looks the same to me tbqhwyfam
>>97955049different anon, but you're retarded if you really think this. Ashling never had big horns on the front of her head. Adding them makes her looks like a different type of creature
>>97955057Nah I agree with that guy.
>>97955066ah my bad
>>97954951says the gooner, your opinion ain't worth shit

You now remember Kaya Cassir the Ghost Assassin, the most anime member of the Gatewatch.
>>97953931How did you build Lighting?
Adulthood is recognizing that your 12 year old self was correct to enjoy things without shame.
>>97955172Characterizing it as a toy for children works directly against your argument that it should be allowed to be sexually charged.Work on your rhetorical strategy, anon. Maybe drop the wojaks while you're at it.

>>97952431I’ve actually been considering picking this up for the hell of it maybe to make a different red blue deck completely no interest in picking up a pre con but I did scribble this down somewhere and you just reminded me that I was thinking about it
Return to Amonkhet
>>97955189But anon my 12 year old self was very ashamed of what he enjoyed
>>97952189And let me guess ban island, swamp and mountain too?? Is lil baby gonna cry? You know this is a tutor right?
>>97955213Heel yuss.
>>9795519416 years anon16 yearsSo long ago that 16 years prior to that, fucking DOUG was on the air.Move with the times, unc.
>>97955208The other side of the as seen on tv aisle should have magic, Pokemon and yugioh products included boxes of shit and tins (for Pokemon)
>>97955185You build her as voltron with a backup or two that can juggle equipment. You want to focus on the following:>various parts from the sword cycle, but you especially want feast/famine>unblockable equipment like brotherhood regalia and silver shroud>extra combats and extra combat enablers like Karlach>double strike equipment or enablers like Halvar, Sword Historian, etc>backup options like Balan if the table hates you and keeps trying to disable Lightning
>>97955221Tutors scale in power relative to what they can fetch. They're a lot less impactful when it lists both a type and superior, and you already have 20 copies of the card you're looking for.
Ban all tutors including land onesBan counterspellsBan MLDBan exile effectsThere. I fucked every color fairly.
>>97955234Dude, look at the current state of pokemon and say that again. That entire market is in a fiasco because the people who were 5 when it came out are now in their mid 30s.
>>97955246>land tutors are not as impactful!lmao tell that to any fucking landfall deck that shits out 8 lands in one turn,
I just got let go from my job a few hours ago what commander should I build?
>>97955259Honestly, that's an issue with landfall more than anything.
>Working on Arena is so terrible employees started a union.I don't know if this is new news, old news, or what, but pretty damning canary in the coalmine for the state of Magic.
>>97955251>There. I fucked every color fairly.Green is still the best color because they have tons of mana dorks and mana rocks and burgeoning for ramping lands lmao
>>97955281>final faggotry poostMore like trannary in the coal mine lmao
>>97955251Mostly just benefits green honestly. If anything it just aggressively fucks over white
>>97955271Landfall just makes it more apparent but no, landfall cards are value engines that can generally be interacted with like any other. Being ahead on mana curve via lands is an enormous advantage unto itself independent of any engine, and one that the format is almost tailor-made not to have viable counters to.
>>97955297Then Spell Pierce the Rampant Growth if it's that good.
>>97955297You're comparing this to cards that are literally a second half of the two card infinite win combo that is your commander. Knock it off
>>97955302>the two card infinite win combo that is your commanderWhat commander? The post you're replying to is the first one I've made in this discussion, who do you think you're talking to right now schizo?
>>97955301I unironically have done this, and I shouldn't have to. Ban them.
>>97955330>I shouldn't need to run removalHoly Timmy
>>97955290BASEDFuck white
>>97955251Also ban artifact and enchantment destruction
>>97955438also ban mana dorks
>>97955034I am 12 and what is this?
>>97953045Madison is more consistent and better, but Liberty Prime is cooler. Depends on which you value more.
>>97955191Point out where it says "for children" in the post poltard
>>97955562No. I can already tell your IQ is too low for this to be a productive discussion. Do not reply to me again.
>>97955281Yep and its pissed off Hasbro royally. Last time there was a major union scare in the mtg sphere it was with tcgplayer. They moved their whole operation to a new state and let the business go to shit rather than tolerate a union. Hasbro will be the same way, they'll just hire some jeet shell company who provides "diverse" employees, let go of the old staff, and the client will go to shit. Considering 90% of standard/modern is played online now that may very well kill those formats, which I hope happens since it would totally fuck wotc. based tifa enjoyer btw
>I want them to unban all the cards>Gaynegas in 4ochinchin want EVEN MORE BANS These threads are filled with trash
One of the dudes in my playgroup ALWAYS runs Eldrazislop or some artifact autismWhat's the best colorless hate I can run in my decks?

Do not reply to me again because I don't want you to dunk on meFTFYLook at the number in the top right of the box and tell us what YOU think it means poltard, because here's what it actually means:>PG-13-rated, in the United States, is not recommended for children (preteens) under the age of 13. This rating exceeds the PG rating when it comes to rating material. It can have intense violence, brief strong language, partial nudity, and (as the minimum rating) drug use. PG-13 is normally unrestricted. Better luck next time!

>>97955657>build bracket 2 decks>consistently beat my friends b3-4 decksTo be fair they are fucking SHIT at the game. I watched a friend not cast his 3cmc commander for 5 turns in a row and when I asked why after the game he was like "oh I forgot to"
How many other manadorks do you need to make Badgermole Cub worth running in an fairly optimized b3/B4 deck? I feel like if you didn't have any other synergy with it you'd often be better off running Three Visits or something.
Unesh, based or cringe?I feel like I need a good density of sphinx to make him worth it, but I also feel like running a pile of cmc 6 bulk rares might not be a winning strategy
>>97955709>cost reduction Cringe>tribalCringe>mono uCringe>graveyard Cringe
>>97955701Cub is a value engine unto itself
>>97955709>niche tribe with basically zero support outside of UneshBased>flicker value pile, slows the game down with repeated fact or fictionsCringe
>>97955721Is it really though? If don't have any other mana dorks it's essentially a 2-mv llanowar that sometimes generates mana the turn you play it. Without the synergy it's often just comparable to a signet.
>>97955732play manlands too, and you were going to play dorks in green anyway
>>97955701Every "good" green deck will play at least a handful of manadorks (including enduring vitality), plus have plenty of creature tutors... imo Cub is a no-brainer inclusion and gets quite alot of value
>>97955652Why aren't you staying in your containment thread poopdick?
>>97955740>pay 1G to turn Treetop Village into a creature >now it taps for GGwoah...

I'm highly amused that poltards magic players on /tg/ hate UB even though UW has the most liberal things in it, from numerous trans characters to being majority non caucasian to gay relationships. Why any right winger plays MTG is beyond me.
>>97955788Because 50% of the playerbase is LARPers that started playing after 2024 and 90% started playing after 2018. So the cool thing they do trying to fit in is pretend to like UW stories they know nothing about beyond YouTube plot summaries. You can tell because of all the immense historical revisionism that's occurring where suddenly blocks people hated were actually totally loved from the beginning. They want to pretend they're OGs that want blocks back when they are literally the exact demographic that is making WotC shart out 7 sets a year with 4 being UB. Literally all their fucking opinions can be mapped directly to YouTubers 80% of which started in this same timeframe.
bring back legends that do something crazy with one sentence
>>97955788>Why any right winger plays MTG is beyond me.fortunately (or unfortuantely?) mtg mechanics and gameplay is the best in the spacethis isn't exactly new to me either, somehow as a chud i like the most godawful libshit things out there
>>97955788Just because they put two gay men dancing on a card doesn't mean I want Dr. Who or Star Trek in magic.
>>97955919nobody likes fortnite for their original ip either
>>97955924Hey. I liked Fortnite a lot. When it was just a team based horde survival building game. It was a lot of fun, but you know, BR got way bigger so what was the point of keeping the fun original IP alive.Its almost like I don't want magic to go down the same route.
quick question about brackets. bracket 1 has no mass land destruction cards, but is it the cards in particular that are banned, or the act of mass land denial "banned"?I'm wondering because as far as i can tell with a few quick searches, price of glory doesn't really count as mass land destruction, and I can combo it with something like drain power or piracy to blow up a varying amount of someone's lands. Apparently, it's considered a "stax" card, but I couldn't find any bracket info about stax cards.
>>97955936>Its almost like I don't want magic to go down the same route.if normie fortnite couldn't do it what makes you think lgbtqai+ mtg UW can
>>97955937Both the cards that explicitly do it, and the intent to do it are locked to bracket 4.
>>97955937the very act of mass land denial is soft-banned below Bracket 4. Price of Glory scoots by because it's largely avoidable. Combined with Drain Power, it would be MLD. Piracy it would not, since YOU are tapping the lands on YOUR turn, and thus not blowing them up.
>>97955937gavin defines MLD as "cards that *regularly* destroy, exile, and bounce other lands, keep lands tapped, or change what mana is produced by four or more lands *per player* without replacing them."keyword is 'regular' and 'per player'if you have to jump hoops to destroy your opponent's lands (and NOT your own because you don't want to gimp yourself and drag on the game) then it's not MLD
>>97955937bracket 1 isn't real
Both the woke and the UB bubbles are going to burst within 2-5 years, if not sooner. They'll lie to our faces that they are both doing great, but they aren't. They know they aren't behind the scenes.
>>97955971They think Marvel is going to be the biggest set of the year that's why the Arena team announced their union right as they're supposed to begin work on it.
>>97955977Biggest in terms of work and planned cards.Its going to be a turbo flop as far as sales.
>>97955979God fucking willing, just like the horrible ass fucking Spiderman set
>>97955977>the Arena team is only beginning to work on the Marvel set a month before it's due to come out>the Marvel set is even going to be a Marvel set on Arenasomehow I doubt it
>>97955701animate your lands tard. The badgermole set even has a mechanic that helps Timmy deal with the fear of losing his lands once animated.
>>97955977>union right as they're supposed to begin work on it.I would be shocked if they haven't already started work on implementing the set.
>>97955998Remember this is the company that thought they could make an entire client with all the cards from scratch in 3 years.
>>97956051They probably haven't. Which is why when the team got the work load they said "fuck this, we need a union."
>>97955936LARP
>>97955937Do yourself and everyone a favor and don't angle shoot, anon. You understand that the spirit of the rule is to leave people's lands alone so they can reliably have mana to play the game with, don't try to exploit ambiguity in the letter of the law to skirt around it. Especially in bracket fucking 1 where people are playing the jankest of jank and expecting to go up against the same. Nobody's gonna want to play with you.
I wanna make a deck that's like 90% ramp/draw spells (with creatures like Sakura Tribe Elder) and have like 20+ lands out when I cast my commander. Which commander wants straight up dozens of lands out? I can't find any that'll animate all of my lands, they only seem to do one/few at a time
>>97956067Whatever you say idiot.
On the MLD questionIf I have a Kamahl deck, and animate my opponent's lands in response to them playing a board wipe (such that they blow up their own lands), am I using MLD? Is my deck suitable for Brackets 3 and less?
>>97956055They're probably working on some shit for Reality Fracture by now tbqh. I know they don't work as far as head as the paper devs do, but I guarantee you WotC has enough brains to give the Arena devs more than 2 months of lead time.
>>97956106No you are not because you're relying on your opponent being dumb and not killing kamahl first (hence not "regular")
Your regularly scheduled early bake with bait TQ>>97956138>>97956138>>97956138
>>97955769Probably with good reason. This reaction image sucks ass. Most porn crops are at least some combination of funny and tantalizing, but this is neither. Like, it wouldn't be so bad if you actually gooned to interesting shit but you keep posting banal crap.
>>97955252No the people who first got the cards in 1999 are 35-36 now dummy (ie 8, 9 10 year olds, the target market at time )
>>97955579Considering arena can’t even have commander implemented nor can you trade or sell the cards you own in a TRADING CARD GAME this is a GOOD thing for arena. Besides there’s already mtgo and all the pro tour people play standard or whatever format on there for practice + there’s real tournaments with QP points. Arena has 0 price value or dollar value to earn/win.
>>97955709He's pretty linear (sphinx beatdown or "players can't draw" control) but he's flavorful and gives a lot of power to a tribe that has some fun cards that get quite good when reduced in cost by 2. He seems pretty based to me.
>>97956074I got around this by building a soft land stax deck with yurlok and a bunch of different manabarb effects. You can use your lands but it will be very painful
>>97956391The people who first got into the games were 5 when Pokemon first came out. The franchise first released in 1996.I distinguish this because the other Anon was talking about when Friendship is Magic came out, not the Secret Lair cards
