What I've noticed about people opposed to hybrid is that they're very frequently LARPers (people claiming Magic was best 20 years ago when they usually started playing after 2018, most of them after 2023), and they're ALWAYS the bad players that have never actually played a single hybrid card in their life so they create these insane Christmas scenarios like monoG running Leyline of the Guildpact solely for Bloom Tender like it's somehow more of a problem for monoG to make a lot of mana than for 5c slop to have it.

ironic that as much as they tout to let them "do the thing" they won't allow wotc to "do the thing" to their own game which would allow more people to do more things with mono

Letting Universes Beyond break the colorpie rules lead to all of this hybrid shit.

It checks out
Color identity and the limitations therein, are what makes edh interesting and as an extension, having an aesthetic that matches that ideal is also important as well as future proofing the format against UB as they very clearly need to rely on hybrid to make most settings fit into mtg and nosewater said explicitly that they use this crutch because it's too hard otherwise.
Also mtg is in a terrible spot and has been for a long while, if you can't see that you are blind.

It's harder to make that argument when the person making it is part of the demographic that only knows the game exists as a result of UB slop (which ramped up massively after 2023). It comes off as being someone with no self-awareness.

The problem is that hybrid cards are both colors and since we're an eternal format you can play color hate.
So not only does it subvert the color rule of commander, it allows angle shooters to argue that their dominus of fealty was actually cast using only red mana so pyroblast doesn't work.

>>98322772
Youre right
The game was better before wotc's involvment in 2011

>>98322956
Just pay the one, unironically

>>98322966
I agree that Kenrith shouldn't be considered 5c, that battle is long over though and my opinion lost. I'm going to argue for the current fight which is that hybrid mana is both, not either.

>>98322961
>was just expecting to be able to do more than
i bet the kona player thought you guys would put up more of an interactive fight

>>98322970
Prisoners dilemma. If everyone pays the one, the card is just a bad stax piece. If one person d9esn't pay the one, it's an okay card, generating a small amount of value, and the one guy who didn't pay gets to not pay. If any more than the one guy doesn't pay, the card is immediately broken with insane value, at which point there is just no point in the rest of the players paying.
So yes, be responsible, pay the one, but if no one else is, there's no point.

the issue rhystic causes in cedh is not because it can draw a lot of cards, but because cedh refuses to accept the gambling nature of the format (seat order, turn 2 win hands, etc.) and it still clings to draws as a legitimate way of playing the game
people should always play for the win if they have it against a rhystic (prolonging the game is better for the rhystic player) but because
>nobody wants to be the sacrificial lamb to exhaust the rhystic player's counters
>there's no penalty for drawing
people just tend to durdle to time, note that necro/adnaus also draws a ton of cards but because it requires commitment that would cause the player to lose if things go wrong it's not looked at as badly
rhystic would have a better rep if draws were penalized as losses to force people to play for the win and not have them be forced to durdle and have the rhystic player draw a bunch of cards just because players were doing normal game actions

>>98322601

All UB slop should be exiled into its own format where only those cards can be used.

>>98322968
You're not making any sense. The dilemma of "I cast this hybrid card with only red mana so it's immune to pyroblast" at no point relies on the commander's color identity as a premise. That's exactly why Kenrith was used as the example.

>>98323172
Yes it does, if you're playing dominus of fealty in a deck that isn't izzet you have to make the claim that hybrid cards are either red or blue and not both depending on the deck they're in or you have an exception to the color rule for hybrid cards

>>98322657
Ok, Cassius Marsh. Good luck on that Cali Commander.

>>98323186
Your premise is violated by multiple existing cards that have color identity misaligned with their gameplay color. Ramos, Dragon Engine is a card with 5c identity but has zero colors for the purposes of Pyroblast or All Is Dust. Similarly, unless you're profoundly retarded you can't attempt to use PBlast to target an Island or Corrupted Shapeshifter just because they're in a monoblue deck.

>>98323204
Yes other cards have different rules. I agree activated abilities shouldn't be applied to a cards commander identity which is why I agreed that Kenrith should be considered mono white.
You are correct both of those cards are colorless.
What I'm pointing to is that in order to make hybrid cards legal in off colors you either have to make an exception to the rules exclusively for hybrid cards (the worst choice) or you change the rules for hybrid cards to make it so it is either color as opposed to both.

>>98323225
>or you change the rules for hybrid cards to make it so it is either color as opposed to both.
That's for sure a way worse choice than changing the commander rules say "the mana cost for cards in your 99 must be in your commanders color identity."


Which, btw, is what you actually want.

>>98323225
Yes Magic is a game built on exceptions that service function over Timmy's idea of aesthetic, good work noticing. It only took your 30 years to realize why the CR is a 311 page document that gets larger every time new cards come out.

These sets were hated because of their aesthetic themes mostly.
Capenna was a really bad draft but didn't contain anything outright broken for constructed and has a lot of fun but fair build arounds for EDH.
Aetherdrift was actually a fun set to draft and looking past start your engines actually has a lot of playables. Niggas just got mad about the cars.

Born of the Gods remains my most hated set. Opened so much of that one and all of it was as worthless as the cardboard it was printed on. Spirit of the Labyrinth is the only card from it I still play.

There's a large recency bias with most players because they didn't play the game before 2023. They don't fully grasp how the worst Magic sets weren't the ones that generated tons of hype online about how it's totally the end of UB forever. They were the 2nd/3rd sets of a block that was so bland and uninteresting nobody cared about them. People say blocks made the story better (lol) but sets 2/3 of a block sold poorly so often that WotC dropped them the moment they actually had the resources to develop set 1-sized sets all year.

At least older sets had the excuse of: the designers had no idea what they were doing at the time, the internet wasn't as robust a feedback machine, the cards had generally good art, and/or there wasn't a massive top down push to sell cards regardless of quality. Older sets sucked by mistake.

Spider Man has no excuse. The designers know full well now what does and doesn't work, they know what is and isn't popular among fans, the art is fucking garbage even on a technical level, and there was no love or effort put into it beyond cold calculating corpocapitalism from out of touch boomer execs who are 15 years behind popular trends.

Spiderman is the worst set ever made (so far) because they knew better than to make it and could have done better making it but still made it anyways and they phoned everything about it in. There is no excuse, they just didn't give a fuck.

Spiderman was clearly pressured into being a full draftable set from the original plan to be like an AC micro-set. If you look at it side by side with TMNT for whatever design decisions there were it was clearly much more intentionally designed and worked through.

I'm hesitant to call it the worst set ever, only because I started playing back in Mirrodin, so I don't know shit about how older sets were received, but compared to other recent releases it was pretty flat. Some sets are crazy and wild failures on account of being experimental and interesting, SPM is mostly just bland with the added problem that over half the cards are capital S "Spiderman", turning tables into a comedy routine "I'm going to swing with spiderman" "I block with spiderman" "Well I'm going to webswing spiderman for spiderman..."

Do you play with banned cards? How does your group feel about it?

She's a much better Norn's Annex, but yes, I do mean the flip side being a reusable boardwipe + overrun effect, yeah, and flipping her having an inconsiquential mana cost (after the first activation since each activation gives you 5 token creatures)

>>98325112
I only play FF cards and they're all legal, nice deck btw

Man, Duskmourn could have been kino if they cut all the retarded 80s tech shit and just made it haunted house world. It's like 70% Victorian-esque aesthetics and then randomly there's some dweeb in a bright jacket carrying a toaster. Lame.

>>98325176
It was kino though
>Victorian
Victorian is no more fantasy than modern.

If you don't understand why having a smattering of 80s do-dads and retards in bright spandex is anachronistic with the primary aesthetic of the plane, I can't help you. Hint: it has nothing to do with Modern aesthetics being more or less "fantasy" than the Victorian.

But you don’t understand, spider-man has to be izzet because his costume is red and blue

>>98325267
People here were literally complaining that he wasn't Izzet back during spiderman spoilers.

>>98325276
What do you expect of ubpiggies?

How do you make a deck with different lines of play without spreading yourself thin and hurting your consistency?

he's a wisecracking nerd with super instincts, if it wasn't for the fact that he needed to define himself in comparison to 92 other Spiders-Men, of which he is "the generic one", I think izzet would have been the best fit for him (although if there was exactly one Spider-Man card, wotc would have made him Jeskai for edh purposes lol)
>>98324841
you know how somewhat awkward guys have always brought somewhat cringe alters, yknow like "this is my Azusa deck except uhhh it's Azusa from K-On" or "it's Rakdos Lord of Riots but it's Madara Uchiha". yeah well wizards realized they could sell pre-altered cards to these unfortunate retards, so picrel is 70 bucks lol.
>>98324210
I always thought green was a weird pick for her but that's UB for you

>>98325318
You don't. They will 100% be hurt. You can mitigate that by only including the best pieces of each line and having way more draw, way more.

Can someone explain why Chrome Mox and Mox Diamond are good in cEDH and bracket 4? It seems that the card disadvantage would be greater than the fast mana, especially if the card or land you're exiling is needed for the deck. If you're just going to exile it, then why did you even include it in the first place?

>>98325326
Now I make based alters of cringe pre-altered cards to make them in-universe.

Dollhouse of Horrors.
I have my commander on my graveyard and I activate the dollhouse, then I move my commander into the command zone instead of the graveyard. The token is created regardless. I just did this on arena so I know it's a legal move. I'd like some rules lawyers to point me to the relevant rules in action because I know I will need this information when trying to pull this off on paper this weekend.

>>98325340
Well for one, Mox Diamond doesn't exile the land. Two just simply don't imprint a card you know you'll need.
>If you're just going to exile it, then why did you even include it in the first place?
Oh wait you're an actual 30 IQ retard, not even going to bother any further.

>>98325318
>how do I A, while also A'?
at least you've identified the contradiction.

but as anon says, you can't. this is the tradeoff of all tradeoffs in deck building.
but don't despair, because this is where the fun begins. especially in edh, where "win at all costs" is explicitly not the goal of deckbuilding.

>>98325340
The CA and tutors are so powerful in these brackets the card disadvantage from the fast mana rocks is worth it in exchange for turboing out a combo win or value enginelike Rhystic.

>then I move my commander into the command zone instead of the graveyard.
I meant instead of the exile zone.

>>98325340
Tell that to pitch evoke cards. Value for no mana in ridiculously good, especially when it generates permanent resources. The card you pitch is whatever is the situationally worst card you have in your hand, it's not included in the deck just to pitch, and card draw is pretty easy to come by, though often you're just tutoring for you wincons so the cards in your hand that don't do that aren't that important.
>t. Guy who watches non-cedh competitive

>>98325354
Yeah, it doesn't continually reference the exiled card, just when you pay the cost, so it works. It would not work with something like imprint since the exiled card needs to be continually referenced.
Did you mean to post here, cause the TQ in the antiub thread fits more.

>>98325354
it's the same exact rule that puts your commander in the command zone when it dies.
>903.9a If a commander is in a graveyard or in exile and that object was put into that zone since the last time state-based actions were checked, its owner may put it into the command zone. This is a state-based action. See rule 704.
you exile your commander from your gy with Dollhouse.
>is your commander in a graveyard or in exile?
yup, it's in exile.
>was it put into that zone since the last time state-based actions were checked?
yup, it used to be in the graveyard and now it's in exile.

therefore you may put it into your command zone as a statebased action. decks that attempt to reanimate their commander also take advantage of this rule if someone plays a Rest in Peace or whatever.
