hello, I'm new here, never really played MTG in any form but me and my friends, who are slightly more experienced than me would like to get into playing commander, is it a good idea for a complete noob to start here? are there precomp decks you would advise us to get?
Should I build a Nekusar/Locust god wheels deck, a Kefka deck and just be mean, or rebuild my old Mizzix spellslinger?
Do you make secret commander decks? This list tutors norin now with 2 extra colors for even more cool stuffhttps://moxfield.com/decks/Uh73EvGs2UuCKDSHcsLQiw
>>98183012Like every single tutor Rocco deck
>>98182987Girl, explain this even once
>TQ: this is one of my weakest decks it hasn't won once but I like it
>MSH unironically dead ass literally for real doesn't have a single Jund card, let alone a Jund commanderHow fucked up is that?
Nothing wrong in being a furfag
>>98182860Magic is pozzed now don’t waste your time. Most of the people here still “playing” are pseudo gambling addicts. Back in the 90’s it was referred to as “cardboard crack”.
>>98182647Have we seen The Silver Surfer yet? He's basically the only Marvel character I have any interest in, and most of that is due to the Moebuis comic which I doubt we'll get art from.
>>98183530this isn't the only one iirc but it's the one that goes with the Galactus card
>>98183530Two versions of him. The blue one is the face of blink in jumpstart.
>>98182914Mizzix if you want to be based.
>>98183578I've never played mono-U before but I guess there's a time for everything
Wotc actually made a pushed Vivi lmao
>>98183610I'm sure inhuman very badly needed to be a creature type. Imagine if we, the players, did not know this stupid fucking dweeb character was an inhuman. What kind of crazy world would that be?
>>98182780>TQ: What's the weakest deck you still play?Progenitus, all Exalted cards, all Lorwyn Lieges.
>>98183486Cool it with the phyrexian posts buddy this is a mirran thread.
>>98183610what makes you say its pushed? the counters still seem better to me. would be cool to chain manamorphose or whatever into some 4c spells
>>98183610not even close to as good as Vivi
>>98183666Green makes it better. Shrimple as.
>>98183724lol you know what you're actually probably correct. spell slinging ramp with 4 insidental commander damage seems decent.
>>98182780>TQ either this girl or my 5-color dungeons deck.
>>98182914>wheelsBoring>KefkaI assume the Grixis one, so it seems alright, but if it requires you to "be mean" for some reason outside of its stated ability, no.>mizzixKinda boring, but best of the three, I guess.
>>98182860Yeah, get whatever cheap precons you can. Doesn't matter, they all work.If you are all completely bew to magic, though, maybe play on Magic Arena (mobile/PC game) first to get the hang of the basic rules.
>>98182860start with a precon I say, either one of the FF precons or one of the Ixalan ones imo
>>98183444Why is there a +1/+1 counter tsubtheme in an artifact surveil deck? Surely the only subtheme should be recurrsion.
>>98183839I actually have no idea where it's pulling that from really
rate the fit
>>98183846Ia the "deck game plan" ai generated then?
I boughted...
>>98183846it thinks bushwack is part of a wincon/combo it's a little off sometimes
>>98183859it basically is right on the money for it, I just constantly get my big creatures in my hand with Golbez's ability do damage with said ability and discard them with other cards like Akal Pakal or Cyclonus to start the process over
>>98183854based I kneel captain
>>98183939ah I forgot an edit, the point of this deck is to get as many UB ips represented while still being a killer sunforger deckthink the steelshapers gift turns into dwights armory and sol ring turns into the furbies oneI didnt know tithe was on the reserve list, card is so comfy
Am I good using xmage or is there something better?
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>98183834I like Family Matters and Witherbloom Pestilence, I think the artworks are cool what do you think?
>>98182780>TQ: What's the weakest deck you still play?General Jarkeld banding. It is shit. I usually play it if I am winning too many games against my buddies and want someone else to get a W so they don't feel bad.
>>98182860Just have everyone grab a newer precon that looks interesting and prepare for the financial fallout. It will happen to at least one of you.
>>98183854looks like ass desu but I understand that's the intention
>>98184107I say go with Witherbloom might be more nice
Anyone know if the eowyn or galadriel precons are any fun? They're the only ones my lgs has
>>98184368eowyn is an interesting midrange deck that wants to create large boardstates and swing with 20 2/2s but can also pull off some aggro
>>98184368I didn't even know eowyn was a precon commander, I just built her because jeskai flicker naturally led to jeskai flicker humans. She's pretty fun though ngl.
>>98183983Holy shit I was expecting at least 1 reply for help?
>>98183983>>98184479Well it's probably because no one has any idea wtf you're talking about
>>98184221as in gameplay or aesthetic?cause for a b3 deck its surprisingly resilient as a control deck
>>98184507aesthetically
>>98184496My apologies, xmage is a virtual platform where one can play MTG online with others and for free for the PC. I am asking if there is a better way or if that's it.
>>98183620why do you dweebs cry so much about typings being added lmao
>>98184526do your own research and pick your own poison of antiquated software for digital cardboard you lazy faggot
>>98184562You are correct but I want real unfiltered opinions about it so I can continue dmor into what's the good shit. My cousin mentioned spellblade but aha, idk.
>>98184570Spell...table? Yeah there's many different options and like the other anon said pick your poison
>>98184575Fuck lol
>>98184570I prefer cockatrice over xmage, spelltable is cheating faggots only. The last I'll say on this.
>>98184730I will give cockatrice a try, thank you.
>>98184570Modo is the only real/legit way to play digital Commander online with other people
>>98184393the perspective on that pick and fork are fucking me up
>>98184755Magic The Gathering Online? I read you pay 5$ to upgrade your account, but can I play the newest FF (an example) commander decks there without paying more than 5$?
>>98184740All just bracket 5 games. People being able to use every card digitally is horrific.
>>98184730>People don't cheat in cockatrice oi im laffin
>>98184799I recently had a match on xmage where a guy made like 50 tokens and did 200 damage to me playing commander , I think it made the whole server lag for a few seconds
>>98183789>UBfaggots think Commander damage can be anything but Combat damageWere you brought in by Mahvel or FF?
>>98184816Walking Dead :)
>>98184816Nta but FF is a good starting/returning point
>>98184816By the black guy. Teferi. MTG is only for n-words.
FF was a good UB set thobeit
>>98184855Yugioh is fah niggas frfr ong
>>98184785Definitely not. You need to buy the cards you want. Although they are a fraction of the cost. You take a deck list you want and give it to the GOAT BOT and pay for it with EVENT TICKETS (1 tix = 1 usd). Most Stuff is much cheaper for example, Mox Diamond is $16. Wheel of Fortune is $3.50. Time Twister is $7.00. Most cards are 1¢ but if you buy precons from the shop where you buy tickets they cost the same as paper.You can also redeem the current non-foil non UB set for a paper set. This is the only official way to get a complete set of magic cards sent to you (you would buy the complete set from a BOT and do the redemption)All that bullshit aside it’s got all the magic formats and players from all over the world. Client runs like shit and shitty it’s a 32 bit app running in a 64 bit shell that ARM machines are emulating but tokens are tracked perfectly and you’ll never miss a trigger again or miscount life. And no more shuffling 99 bulky ass sleeved cards holy crow
>>98184916Appreciate the replies , thank you, did some more research but your post helped a lot.
>>98184967Me too. Did my research as well and decided that people cheat way too much with digital games where you control your own triggers or spelltable (stacking your deck, having cards off-screen) etc. paper is still the only way to play commander.
>>98184799can't they show restraint?>not just proxies >free proxies that you don't even have to print yourself riiiiight
>>98182780>TQHail Caesar fucking sucks lmaoBut I like Fallout so I'm stuck with it
>>98184990You can’t cheat the triggers in MTGO/modo since it’s a rules engine. Why are you lying about having done your research?
It annoys me that this isn't a changeling.
>>98185044>Everyone only talked about mtgo in this thread Why are YOU lying?
>>98185044You're samefagging and replying to yourself about mtgo, thanking yourself and babbling about how you did 'research' in 1 minute. So shut the fuck up or kill yourself
anyone else hate the way theyve skirted around the legend rule so consistently?if youre in blue you can have like 10 different clone effects at 4 cmc that keep their name or arent legendaryshit makes for some fucking boring options
>>98185056most (if not all?) Clone-type Shapeshifters don't have changeling.
>>98184547>dweebLeave your arrested development at the door; the rest of us moved on past high school.
>>98184902niggas dont have that kind of reading comprehension, magic is the easier game by a long shot.
Uh oh Shanty melty! Xe no likey pasta! Uh oh!
Well might as well ask this before the spam starts, thinking about building the Bloomin' Onion what are some cards you suggest I put in it?
>>98185152Snow basics to reach seven lands with different names quicker
>>98185171That sounds fun
Bedhead shanty
Why is the general getting spammed again?
>>98184871The more we get of NYC UB dreck the more FF stands out as being truly phenomenal.
>>98185214Someone who has a meltdown over not getting their way, and since he's posting stuff that's on topic, it doesn't get removed
>>98185214pds's ban ran out
>>98185171that sounds genius
>>98185219all UB is dreck, some is just dreckier than others
>buddy buys tergrid>not a soul in my group is interested in playing against something like that>no one really discusses brackets we're kinda just bullshitting, strong bracket 3 at best>try to tell him that it just isn't fun and we're going to target him and he's not going to have fun>he thinks the solution is making tergrid more "casual"I really don't think he understands this game mode or what's even going on. How I see it and how he sees it must be completely different.
>>98184368Eowyn is fuckin nasty but does nothing the first 3-4 turns of the game, I've only played the precon but after durdling with enough monarch payoffs youll randomly swing out for 80
>>98185241I'm entirely convinced that it's a mod/janny doing the spamming, which is why it's never going to be addressed
>>98184989the main LGS in my town (we have 2 + 3rd card seller little shop/ not really a whole LGS) does katana's for $14 out the door
>>98185065No I did not do that, you psychotic faggot
>>98184871FF should have had cipher outside of Dimir and payoffs for effects granting additional types on creatures
>>98185252that stomping grounds tcg place I mentioned does them for $10 but that would also mean $10 shipping. Just depends on how much you're ordering.
>>98185238Quit being homos and counterspell him. Or Darksteel mutation tergrid or you dudes sound like you probably are green-troons, DESTROY TARGET ARTIFACT for the lantern side. Damn
Kill Shanty
>>98185264Damn, where has this card been all this time? I’m guess I’m ordering a play set of this since all my commander decks are essentially Voltron.Good looks
>>98185120see>>98183620You, or at least the dweeb you're defending, used it first you omega dweeb.
>>98185274That's what I'm saying, we will have to use all that on him and then he's not going to have fun. I'm not worried playing against it, I'm commenting on how my friend just doesn't understand we're all playing funny decks and he's playing satan. He would not be having the same level of fun if we were also playing unfun commanders.
>>98185280It's clearly the same guy, what? Are newfags fooled by samefags typing "nta"?
>>98185263I mean gas is down to $3.49 here in Florida so it’s probably cheaper to drive them to pay that bullshit shipping but it’s probably still worth checking out that site. Maybe they got some good shit. I know the main LGS I go to has 1 million singles, but never what I’m looking for. But lots of supplies/accessories.
>>98185251It IS a janny. It just got proven beyond all doubt once again. The posts calling them out as being an actual janny that's also spamming the thread just got deleted while the "spammer" continued (proving a janny WAS in here but refused to ban the slammed). What a fucking mess of a board. See you bros is a few days.
>>98185287Where I'm at in Florida it went back up to $3.99 after Sunday
>>98185287yeah, katana discount isn't as big as dragonshields. $8 -> $14 or sometimes $16 is ridiculous. I just ask my friends if they need some sleeves whenever I'm going to make an order.
