real previous >>98392198
Would this card count as chaining extra turns, therefore making it not a legal bracket 3 card? Just making sure I'm playing honest with my friend group before I include it in a time themed deck
If there needs to be a ranking system to protect noobs then it should be player and skill based not deck based. There's zero reason fully grown adults who have played magic for a decade should be whining and complaining that I dared run a winter orb against their quirk chungus landfall deck
>>98396230PDH schizo threads flooded by bot posts are not /edhg/.
>>98396241Be careful what you wish for, you're not going to like where you end up.
>>98396237gavin never defined chaining extra turns so feel free to put as many extra turn spells as you want 95%~ of extra turn shit is infinite anyway
>>98396237No. Chaining extra turns with this would be recasting it over and over again.
>>98396251Card games are pretty statistically "solved" I thought right, there's an optimal deck and optimal way to play your hand, so I don't get why people are so fast to concede and bitch and moan when the fun is in the games that don't play out how they're supposed to...
>>98396245is that your new reason why you're not spamming the thread right now? not because it doesn't have gay bolas but because it doesn't have pauper edh?
>>98396283Because I'm not an autistic retard that bots my own threads to make them look more active.
>>98396295>yeah i didn't spam this thread because i know you didn't make it i'll wait until i know it's (You) so i can spam itthanks for your concession
where's gay bolas, is he safe?
>>98396201>Favorite artist? Doesn't need to be MtG.Guay is definitely up there.>>98396228SPBP>>98396295Yeah you bot other people's threads to make them autosage faster. Give it up nigga, literally nobody's buying it, nobody likes you and your spergfits have completely ruined your "meme."
>>98396262Ah, thought that there was a more concrete, defined term for it, gotcha>>98396266Cool, yeah, just planning on it, the rod that can give you an extra turn and maybe Nexus of Fate as my three picks, don't plan on cheesing things with them, I'm way more a theme guy
>>98396297>>98396308Least obvious botposter samefag
>The bots are furfags spamming every thread without gay bolas in the OP!!!>No, here's 8 threads from this month that weren't botted>Yeah but he never spams threads with gay bolas!!! He just wasn't online at the time!>Here's 3 threads with gay bolas that were botted>Those don't count!!!>Okay now someone else made the OP without gay bolas while you know he's online>He just turned the bot off to make me look bad!!!Schizo meltie every time he gets btfo is always funny.
>>98396346We already had several bracket episodes in a row, so I guess they want to do a gay bolas rerun in between.
>>98396346me irl
>>98396237if I put Time Stretch into my big spells Alania and I copy it ONE (1) time, am I instantly teleported to bracket 4?
>>98396343>hahaha look the thread is spam free the schizo sure is melting down now!lmao
>>98396360A chain with 2 links is a shitty chain, but still a chain.
I get how it works on the eldrazi spell/creature I cast.I either get 1 extra raw or 6 total with the creepy claw.I get how to do ETB triggers(I think).Does this interact with non eldrazi instants/sorceries or attack triggers in any way if I time it right?Im probably way too green to consider playing this, but 5 color and witch-maw commanders are few in number.This guy seems like somebody I could build any kind of deck around and have him/it contribute something? I have 600 cards for 5 commanders swirling around in my head. Consider this a loud cry for help
>>98396366weird then that the term is "chaining" instead of the old tried and tested "recurring/recursion" (a term that wotc themselves use)
>tqmy nigger McNeil (love the oniric vibes)
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>98396404It's so they can ban my timesifter lantern control deck
I have never seen this card before. I know it costs a lot of mana but I really wanna but it into a deck and cheat it out. such a fun effect. why do people not play it? playing consecrated sphinx instead?
>>98396376Technically yes but in practice it's probably going to be a hassle because you specifically need to cast an eldrazi spell while Ulalek is on the board and spend 2 colorless which might not seem like a big deal but will get harder to do consistently the more colors you include. If I were to experiment I'd probably try to restrict myself to 1-2 colors and include ways to return some of the cheaper eldrazi cards to your hand. Something like casting endless one for 0 or 1 or eldritch immunity to trigger the condition might be the way to go.
>>98396440that's a lock though which is totally different from "chaining extra turns" (which in reality is just gavin telling people to stop durdling with extra turns and finish the damn game}
>>98396201>Favorite artist? Doesn't need to be MtG.Klimt and Raphael
>TQRKFGonna to slowly be working on getting his entire collection.Just bought one of these. Getting Hazan is going to be annoying, but when I do, I will make a shitty deck with him.
>>98396201>TQPeter Mohrbacher, who was based enough to tell WotC to fuck off, do his own thing, while leaving 10/10 pieces like pic rel
>>98396201>Favorite artist? Doesn't need to be MtG.Lauren YS
Looking for a new deck to build and these fellas seem neat. Are any of them fun or are there some cringers in there
>>98396495So many of these old Theros gods have aged like milk frying in the sun. You'd be lucky to squeeze a high b2 deck out of this thing.
>>98396546Pharika was always garbage even back then
>>98396464My search for the commander that does everything I want continues.Hashaton would drive me nuts with tokens and not being able to look at the pictures I pay so much for.Jodah is gay and reminds me of star wars, also have to shuffle 4 times a turn.Atraxa has the right colors and could build some nice decks, but her ability is generic and outdated weak shit.Kenrith seems funny, but hard to win with if people arent playing nice.Betor was first choice and looked nice, but I think he plays slow and gets sniped from end to next turn.
>When you have 75 reeds all with haste, first strike, trample, vigilance, pro red and black, indestructible, and +3/+3I'M REEDING THE FUCK OUT

>>98396653I don't like Marvel very much at all, but they have definitely shown some cool card designs. I also like the simplicity of the double Prowess Thor, I might have to make an alter for both that and your pic.
>>98396201>Well I don't approve of his no Gay Bolas policy...>But I DO approve of his no pdh policy Approved thread, carry on.
>>98396451It's good in specific decks and Shadow of the Second Sun is cheaper.
>>983966995c slop pile players like slivers or dragons do not learn
you guys don't like pdh?
No, we don't.
>>98396863
>>98396878>Why don't you like a format with a limit number of cards that will never grow, and therefor will always be a stale, solved format.Because its dumb.
>>98396897To add: it's also thinly veiled anti-ub circle jerking so I hate it out of principal.
>>98396495>>98396546>>98396624I'm actually building her right now as I needed another B2 deck and I've always loved her art. Will report back how it goes once the cards arrive and I can jam some games.
>>98396897>>98396907I think he mean pauper edh, not predh
Thoughts on this Bilbo deck? It represents him bullshitting to little hobbit kids around the fire about dungeon burglaring escapades that didn't actually happen after the events of the hobbit. (that's my take).A guy from my lgs made it. I'm open to upgrade suggestions but I'd like to maintain the deck's character.https://archidekt.com/decks/24632251/bilbo_retired_burglar
>>98396920Pauper is fine.

What's a good Unemployment Tribal deck?
>>98396968Goblins?
>>98396972this
>>98396968Goblins and Soldiers generally speaking a pretty cheap tribes. Hexing Squelcher and Myrel aside.
>>98396968Merfolk are cheap and powerful as fuck.
>>98396968
>ephemerate is being reprinted as ‘beam me up scotty’I hate it
>>98397049Based references
>>98396946are you suggesting that card or saying the youtuber Rhystic Studies is the original creator of that deck?if it's the card, it's great but probably more than I would invest in this 25 dollar deck
If you can't afford a roaming throne, there's no reason to build a tribal deck
>>98397049Look forward to "Earl Grey, Hot." and "Make it so"
>>98397141I can afford it, I just am not wanting a larping golem that's playing pretend joining my holy ranks. YWNBAA
>>98397141My printer works fine
>>98397141>theres no reason to build a tribal deckFTFY anon
>>98397170If someone actually played this against my goblin deck, I'd just laugh. No idea why they'd take up a card slot just on the off chance to play against goblins, but still funny that they did.
>>98397049I'm not even a Trekkie and that bothers me
>>98397170fair point
>>98397049Source?
>>98396201>TQProbably this guy cause this is my favorite art
>>98397049There nothing wrong with this though
If I give him lifelink he heals others, but good ol spiritlink will heal me no matter who has him?
What is the worst major tribe?
>>98397309Yes. Lifelink would be an ability he has, Spiritlink is an effect of the enchantment that gives you life and it always remains under your control.
>>98397310slivers
I never really thought about the optimal landbase for a 5 color deck. if I run 10 fetches and 10 shocklands, thats a lot of damage just from your own lands. yea I know fast mana is great and life points are just a resource, but whats the math behind it? what do you guys play if you are fine with using any land except the original duals of course?
>>98397289For actual fans it triggers autism because it's never actually said in the franchise. It's a mistranslation of several different versions of the line delivery, kinda like how it's not actually Luke I am your father in Star Wars, if you get me
>>98396468How is that any different of a lock than recurring the same extra turn spell? I would actually say recurring the same extra turn spell is more of a lock since I only have so many non-land cards in my library, eventually I'll whiff on the top 3 of my library
>>98397350That's why you run shit like spelunking, so your fetchable tapped lands are just untapped.
>>98397310Worst to face? SliversWorst mechanically? Maybe Angels. They're cool and aesthetic but just seem kind of in a weird place where they're too slow or don't do enough, with a few exceptions like Avacyn or Sigarda or maybe Voltron Bruna
>>98397350Just do some green bullshit?Mana on legs.
>>98397382>Didn't mention Giada
>>98397372NTA but i did not know this card existed, that is getting slotted into my 5 color Innstrand Angel deck ASAP
>>98397350You don't always need lands on curve so they can come in tapped. Also you have access to the best rock ramp land ramp draw and everything in the game so it's fine losing some life.
>>98397389That Cabaretti brat? I don't think she actually exists
how do you avoid being called out/focused?i like to play do thing, deal damage to each opponent things but the moment such a card hits the table pic related happens. people act like im one turn away from winning it all.
>>98397310humans, unironically>>98397335stfu fgt>>98397408be nice and pretend you don't care about winning and don't care about interaction
>>98397408You switch to playing a durdle and ramp until you combo out of nowhere and everyone acts surprised how it happened deck instead
>>98397310Demons
>>98397408>Person plays kinnan>No alarm>Another person plays Kaalia>No alarm>Someone plays intruder alarm>No alarm>You play impact tremors>Everyone loses their minds
Thoughts?
>>98397473I have a friend who runs this. He ends up discarding the thing he tutored for 75% of the time.
How do you gauge if a deck is strong/weak within its bracket? I know sites like commander salt exist to get a rough idea, but what's "good" on a 1-10 scale for something like a B3 deck?
>>98397484How fast it wins and how consistently it does so. Then compare it with decks you know for a fact are juiced in that bracket/
>deliberately choose not to snipe all commanders on turn 3>choose not to kill abaddon when he swings >casts soul shatter, gets inevitable betrayal, gets an ulamog, makes us sac creatures>lose all of my lands to annihilator>casts another sac spell, 0 permanentsWhy are some people just faggotsI could’ve been oppressive and shit stomped
>>98396968Arcades or Phenax walls and other high toughness creatures. Pillowfort it up in your NEET cave. Phenax also has the mill theme to represent the mental damage of unemployment.
>>98397473Just found out about this card, feel like it would go hard
>guy blinks his entire board, including commander>consign to memory the delayed trigger>his commander is permanently exiled
>>98397491>I'm going to be making a token of sunderflock every turn through populate, and if you remove the thing I'm populating with, I can just replay it out of my graveyard every turn! >Nooo. you can't just use gravepact on me every time I play a creature! its not fair!
>>98397484Play it against people duh
>>98397488From my experience I can seem to pull out a win consistently between turns 6 to 8. The deck is scoring a 7/10. Also for some reason my B3 Eldrazi deck scores a fucking 8.8.
>>98397479And Gamble is a gc. Lmao
What do we think the price range is going to be?
>>9839757010 dollars at most. Its timmy bait trash.
>>98396938>choose draw>nothing happens Youre retarded
>>98397350>shocklandsJust run the true duals
Long-time magic player, first time commander player at my local shop's "casual" night. (3s and below, they had a round timer for 'you can't kill or infinite before this timer, we're here to have fun' real casual shit.) I built my deck to be like a 2 or really weak 3 (couple resilient bombs)>no searching my deck at all>no game changers>no infinites/table-kill combosI had a fine game- played some rocks, cast my spells, threw removal and got some pointed at me. That's generally how I expected things to go. But holy fuck everyone else at the table was either popping the FUCK off (pests lifegain getting like 40 +1/+1 counters in one turn) or threatening to kill everyone out of nowhere (some FF character hitting everyone for 20+ lifegain damage whenever a token attacked anyone else or some shit) from like.. turn 5. Is that just how this format goes? "I cast my commander now I'm going to pop the fuck off"? Is it actually bad manners to stop someone from hitting everyone for 20 and gaining 60 life? Couple of these dudes were calling me rude for playing fucking Syphon Mind on turn 4
>>98397570it exists specifically for people to build a mono red or boros dwarf+equipment+treasures deck. and you're meant to specifically curve it into this guy.this is how they design sets now, the "draft archetypes" are actually just disassembled commander precons, featuring similar levels of parasitism.for anyone that's not doing this specific red + tribal + equipment + treasures thingamajig, it's worse than the other 12 mythic rare 3cmc swords. equip {3}. meh.
>>98397609I'm pretty sure its solid ramp for any the deck that can pump out lots of tokens of a single type.
>>98397606yes. the precons are b3 and regularly feature random combos that can win from hand with just the commander on board. the two I've played with were jeskai striker which could do nondeterministic storm stuff with storm-kiln artist on like turn 5, and Tidus/Yuna, which could instawin a couple of ways with walking ballista and randomly explode into a bunch of +10/+10 reach trample summonsnot a fan tbdesu. I think commander gets less fun above bracket 2 basically. Gisa and Geralf was much closer to what I want to see from precons but unfortunately the cat is now out of the bag and I think the community of precon buyers will only want to buy juiced decks
>>98397606>is this how this format goes?Yes because you're playing with goddamn randoms who dont share every single thing you believe in anon, the round timer is pretty much the only workable gentleman's agreement>they cry about syphon mindExactly my point
>>98397622>the format gets less fun after b2Correct, i always tell new players to stick with b2
>>98397389Giada doesn't fix what's wrong with angels in the slightest.
>>98397606I couldn't imagine playing this format with people I don't know. The only value it has is getting everyone at the table on the same page and playing mind games with your friends.I regret bringing commander to my community. I have three friends who have never played a regular game of magic.
>>983975706 mana+requiring combat damage+requiring a board of creatures will keep it pretty low. Reaver Cleaver is better (not requiring a board state to pay out big) and it's under $20.My guess, it settles $6-8 bucks.
>>98397606commander is a format to play exclusevly with friends, anon. No joke
>>98397622>>98397625>>98397636>>98397649>don't play with randosNoted. Thanks, gang.
Here's my latest attempt at non-traditional control Vorosh. The intended table is pretty low power. I'm still working on a wincon that is satisfying and effective enough. Intruder alarm became too degenerate and I'm not really happy about playing the overrun/jarad cards they seem disjointed but I'll test and see where I want to go later. Ultimately I'd like to remove all of the destroy effects and strictly run tap, blank and forced combat.
Is Appa just "fun bracket 2 abdel"?
Reminder that garfield intended mtg to be played with randoms, hence 'the gathering'
>>98397702He also intended games to have stakes with ante. What is your point?
>>98397702MTG as garfield intended was stax and ante
>>98397704Ante should be unbanned, people play with fake cards anyway
>>98397702I play edh a lot when I travel. You can generally have a great time as long as you have an eye for picking out shitters.
>>98397702When you look at every other game he has helped create you realize Garfield is a hack who got lucky with Magic.
>>98397717Dota 2 UB when
>>98397717Artifact wasn't a game. It was an excuse to steam pirated movies and porn on Twitch.
>>98397719Actually the least likely thing to get a UB set would be DOTA. There is no way Garfield isn't hard blacklisted from Valve after the catastrophic waste of dev time and money that was Artifact.
>>98397717>besmirching the Great Dalmuti
>>98397704>intends the game to be played with ante>intends the game to be played with no sleeves>at the same time makes the fucking reserve list so all these old cards people threw around like toilet paper are now worth thousands
>>98397702I would 100% take Garfield and his questionable decisions over WOTC at any point since they purchased it
>>98397717Everyone blames the steam marketplace shit for Aritfacts downfall when it was really the horrendous gameplay.I would fucking kill to have the ability to buy shitass rares/mythics on Arena for $0.03 each instead of using a wildcard.
Anybody remember the name?There was a red dragon or something.If you dont pay upkeep it blows itself up and does 7 damage to everything, had lifelink too.
>>98397747It would be worse. The game could be ran by Konami.
>>98397757Piru?
>>98397759>7 power>7 toughness>deals 7 damage>8 costI hate it when they do this shit
>>98397758In no reality is Konami worse than wotc.
>>98397759Thanks, thats the one.>>98397763Is that autism or a genuine balancing complaint?Boardwide damage + lifelink is a fuckton of life.
>>98397570This card is fucking trash lol
>>98397763GC soon btw
>>98397770Konami basically does everything imaginable to kill Yugioh yet it still lives. They could easily be the #1 card game globally if they stopped shooting themselves in the foot every 5 minutes.

>player slams T3 heart beat of spring>untap and unload fucking huge spells, instantly take over the game>post-game im the bad guy
>>98397753It was both. I actually got an academic paper published on how the game was basically a prime example of literally everything you could do wrong with a product.>Release it late>Market it poorly>Monetize it horrendously>Change your playtesting audience in response to negative feedback>Ignore your new playtesting audience when they give the exact same feedback>Use basically every other card game's worst gameplay mistakes (randomness, resource starvation) as a design guide>Don't acknowledge how market expectations have shifted in 15 years in design>UI was designed extremely poorly>Audio design was also terrible>Game frontloaded lots of information that wasn't relevant 99% of the timeLegitimately it didn't do anything right at all

>>98397836
>>98397798>Release it lateThere where SO MANY dead on arrival card games that released after everyone was already sick of Hearthstone
>>98397830I usually tell people most of my decks are bracket 3.5. B4 just feels too sweaty to some people but playing just 3 is just too casual.
>>98397788Ive been playing yugioh for the last few years, you guys love to complain but the game is fun and the art style is mostly intact Mtg has been butchered in ways yugioh players can't even imagine>oh no infinite impermanence is $20 ahhhh I'm going to lose my mind Fucking lol
>>98397847The digital card games that predated Hearthstone or came out alongside it didn't do much better. They weren't copies but there's a reason nearly every latecomer to the space was a Hearthstone clone or a direct port of a proven successful physical game like MTG or Yugioh.
>>98397867I liked Duelyst too
>>98397867oh yeah and also Eternalshadowverse was just okay but it's still alive I think
>>98397867great game, my faction or whatever was the steampunk guys
>>98397866>oh no infinite impermanence is $20 ahhhh I'm going to lose my mindAre you trying to complain about the price of yugioh by using a 1$ card as an example? Yugioh still have a huge issue with prices. Specifically new secret rare staples being worth over 100$ only to be shot all the way down to 5$ by mass reprints a year later. At least when you invest into a magic card it's likely gonna hold it's value even through most reprints.
It's etali too much for bracket 2?
>>98397917>invest into cardboard
>>98397920Original? Yes absolutely, it's peak B2.The gruul one? Ehh.
>>98397917>Yugioh has a problemOkay I'm following so far>the cost of meta playable cards has gone down to $5 because of reprintsYou fags have such insane Stockholm syndrome I hope the reserve list gets reprinted tomorrow
>>98397928>The gruul one? Ehh.Does it mean that the grull one is bad or what?
I have a question.>Start Combat, Steal an opponents creature>End of Turn, Braids Triggers. I choose to Sac the creature I stole. So am I correct to say that Braids trigger will resolve first if I choose to sac a creature I do not own and her trigger has to resolve before I Edea's trigger returns the sacrificed creature to my opponents battlefield and I draw a card? ?
>>98397937Too annoying
>>98397935When the cancer meta staples are cheap, they start showing up everywhere and they get banned.
>>98397937Depending on the powerlevel of the pod and their emotional maturity primal conqueror etb can do some busted plays
>>98397917Yeah it's a dollar now, do you even play? Substitute mulcharmies if you likeThat's the kinda shit lgs players complain about, not whatever OCG ulttarare is 100 bucks and not even legalShit, people complained about fiendsmith like it was a rent payment or something
>>98397946>seriously believing the "rarity as balance" mythdo you want to lick my boots after too?
I'm playing too much control and slow combos. Any commander to swarm or smoke the other dudes fast in b2?
>>98397968Not having a giant banlist and players that use every meta staple is what makes Commander better than YGO.
>>98397951>Yeah it's a dollar now, do you even play? Substitute mulcharmies if you likeThey fuck are you talking about? Mulcharmies are also cheap now. Sounds like YOU are the one who knows nothing about Yugioh.>That's the kinda shit lgs players complain about, not whatever OCG ulttarare is 100 bucks and not even legalAgain what the hell are you blabbering about? TCG is the one that has price issues. Rarities are much more lax in OCG.>Shit, people complained about fiendsmith like it was a rent payment or somethingFiendsmith WAS an expensive deck. Are you just asking chatgpt random yugioh questions to vomit these retarded posts out?
>>98397971ragavan
>>98397938You choose how to stack the triggers, so you can make braids sac the creature
>>98397971Winota>but b2just build it cheaper
>>98398019No I mean, Will edea put the creature I sacced onto the battle field before braids trigger finishes fully resolving? From what I understand, once an ability, Braids, begins resolving, it must fully resolve before any other abilities resolve so I sac my opponents creature, they have to choose to sac or lose 2 life and I draw, then after, Edea puts the creature I sacced back onto the battlefield under its owners control and I draw a card.

Yugioh is the worst of the Big Three for many reasons but game piece availability is not really one of them
>>98398315>many reasonsSuch as?
>>98398315Pokemon is easily the worst in terms of gameplay. Pokemon has an online client that hands you free tier 1 meta decks every month and has a code card in every pack yet nobody plays it.
>>98398315Truth nuke
>>98398353Solitaire gameplay, hideous first turn advantage, rules text bloat that makes FIRE design look reasonable, grotesque aesthetic degradation, dogshit mechanics like pendulums that require multiple revisions of the core rules, constant ill-considered rehashing of old archetypes to get those Season 1 memberberries...>>98398394If you hate flipping coins I guess, Pocket League or whatever it was called was tearing up the charts for a while there. But admittedly I haven't touched Pokemon in an age. It does seem to mostly be a CCG these days, when it's not faggot "investors" playing at penny stocks (but MtG has that problem too)
>>98398416Pokemon Pocket is different from the physical card game. It has modified rules. Also the majority of people "playing" that app are just collecting the free daily packs or splerging money to fully collect each set. The actual gameplay is not the main point of that game.
>>98398315mtg has the best gameplay with the shittiest ippokemon has the worst gameplay with the most popular ipyugioh is the middle child in every aspect
>>98398450>mtg has the best gameplay with the shittiest ipWhat, you don't like Marvel and Final Fantasy? :^)
>>98398462ff alone is better than in-universe so as far as UB is concerned mtg now has the best gameplay with good ip :)
>>98398502Somehow I knew you'd take exception to Final Fantasy being mentioned in the same breath as Marvel. I think you just have a preference for Japanese media.

>>98396517I love my bimbo druid wife. I originally built her because my table complained my decks were too strong.
>>98397570I hate pretty much everything about this card. Awful art, that weapon doesn't even look slightly elven-made, there's no elegance or finesse to it, it's all hard edges and angles. Extremely high fantasy with the way too bright glow and weird lines all over it (Anduril had similar issues in the lotr set where it just didn't even remotely look like a weapon made by a smith). The effect is basically nonsensical and evokes nothing of what the blade is, it should do something like give menace (even better if only against orcs and goblins, or unblockable by those creature types). Why does it create treasure based on YOUR creature type? If it'd been an enters effect, then at least you could have made the argument "Orcrist and a bunch of treasure gets found by the company" but it's on combat damage, aka when you fucking swing it.
>>98397382>Worst to face? SliversSlivers are a deck check and fold to any removal whatsoever.>>98397310Eldrazi. They're boring, overpowered, and have shifted from big dumb spells that are hard to cast into free mana and advantage that makes big dumb spells easier to cast.
>>98398699Yeah I'm trying to scale back from really fast stuff. Plus I love reading flavor text
>>98398716Oh they still pitch because it does good but they get upset when I remind them a big chunk of the deck are fucking vanilla creatures from 1997 I liked when I was a kid. Pic related fucks in the deck btw, because you can give opponents things trample to get unlockable through
Minimum cost 1 mana?That 1 + red or 0 + red?
>>98398737how new are you to this game?
>>98398751I havent played a round in 20 years, when I monstermashed with green/white random piles of cards.Im currently crafting my very first big boy deck.I would say 1 + red, but Ive seen claims of 0 + red on youtube and i really want it to be 0.Joogle did not help.
>>98398757How did you find yourself here?Is 1r one mana? Or two anon.
>>98398760>How did you find yourself here?I typed magic into the search field?>Is 1r one mana? Or two anon.The other cost reductions say if its generic or colored pips of mana, it says X and hits me with ambiguos language.Dont act like Im the retard.
>>98398768>don't actIt's not an act anon.If you have 5r, and reduce it to 1r. Is that two mana or one mana?If you have 5r and reduce it to R, is that 1 mana?It's not ambiguous
how many big mana spells are too much for jodah, archmage eternal? right Im brewing and Im sitting at 25 eight or higher mana spells.
>>98398013The point was people complain about prices that mtg players gladly pay without thinkingThat includes all the cards I mentioned at one time or anotherI've never run across any card that was a must play at 100 bucks a pop, even engraver didn't get above like 70 bucks here, I got the cards I needed for fiendsmith engine for like 350 I think and people were all up in arms about it like I some kind of mr money bags. the only card I've even heard of like that was some dragon that was blowing up the ocg, i shouldn't have brought that up cause that might be a game of broken telephone from the guys at the shop, my bad.Back to konami vs wotc, konami at least puts some effort into the game as a game the prize pools might not be great but wotc basically killed its pro circuit and removed legacy as a format in PTQs despite it sharing more with modern now than ever. Thats 100% of the reason I dropped competitive mtg for yugioh. Also I really like what konami tried with genesys, it needs a lot of work but they tried. You would never get wotc to put half that effort into any format. In conclusion comparing wotc favorably to konami is unjustified
Pulled a Sensei's Divining Top, Archivist of Oghma, Wasteland and Displacer Kitten and I couldn't even finish ripping packs before I went to bed ty to whichever anon wished me luck yesterday
>>98397798That's pretty interesting, I'm a gaben fangay and liked artifact, I wish it would've gotten more time to flourish, but I think the social media reaction was just so severe it fucking kneecapped it. I didn't know the play test stuff though. How is resource denial the most unfun part of a card game though, I love stax
>>98397310Dragons and dinosaurs both take a single IQ point to pilot and can still win tables because WotC has an actual 4 year old on their design team (probably)
>>98396451I like this in Hashaton
>>98397390There are many effects like this. Amulet of Vigor was the OG version of it
How come they didnt force Guay to raceswap Galadriel?
>>98399206The high elves are white so arwen can be blacked. It's the lesser elves like wood elves that get raceswapped.

>>98398699Not so fast
>>98396517the 3 on the right are coolpalladia is cool (and has a sick name)but shitters will tell you voltron is cringe
>>98396517If you're gonna build Palladia make sure to use stuff lien Super State to get the most bang for your buck before losing hexproof
>>98396201Sideboards arent in commander, yes? My idiot brother is trying to play a "bracket 3" tournament in a new town. Seems like the last update was Feb, and shit seems fucked, particularly if that's a house rule on sideboards, but I want to know if there is an update before I tell him absolutely not.
No reason to not have it in a deck that touches green, right?
>>98399554Commander officially does not allow sideboards, but it's also a nonsanctioned format, so if a store is doing an event that allows sideboards then they are allowed to do that too.
>>98399556>7 mana winmore card that does effectively nothing on its ownI can think of a few reasons
>>98399554Is he trying to use wishes or something? Either way no, sideboards don't exist in EDH.
>>98399566That's what I thought. Thanks anon, but seriously, I dont know what to tell the guy. They seem... autistic about the rules, and if there's sideboards, my very first instinct is to ram in a K4rn board with burning wish to fish his wincons from there.Like are hatebears bracket 3? I made him a proxy deck that fit the rules but shit has gotten so nebulous and he's just trying to make friends.
>>98399574The store said they use sideboards, apparently. I dont get it at all.
>>98399567>does effectively nothing on its ownIt triples output of your lands, last time I've checked most decks still played lands.But yeah, unless you have a way to make use of all that extra mana, it doesn't do much for you, and if you need all that extra mana, this can't be your only engine to generate it.
>>98399598It has no immediate impact is the problem. When I say "does nothing on its own" I mean that it's a 7-mana investment that doesn't progress your game plan unless you go from this card and then run out something else. And if you're already at 7 mana you can make so many other inherently game-ruining plays with cards that are much stronger than it.
>only #288 on edhrecDamn dude you'd figure with how people talk about her she would be in the top 10.I've never even seen anyone play her.
Help me pubstomp my bracket 3 LGS with plausible deniability so I can farm prize packs and store credit.
>>98399741>Azusa as commander>include scute swarm>include every green creature tutor>include all 8 cards that let you play lands from the grave>include cheap fetch landsI run this and it does kinda feel way too strong for bracket 3, i have like an 80% win rate with it and it's not even fully built yet.6+ landfall triggers every turn is just obscene.
>>98399741>plausible deniabilityWon't work, people will notice you actually TRY to win and will start avoiding you.
>>98399764are you running it with Storm Cauldron and Exploration?
>>98399772It's randomized pods, they can't avoid me
>>98399775Nah they're not worth the deck space, I only include cards that let me play an additional land per turn if they bring additional value on top of that.Azusa is usually enough by herself.Btw you should also include Thespians Stage and Dark Depths, making 3+ Marit Lage in one turn is pretty funny.
>>98399764>>98399741That may be cheap, but not super strong.>https://moxfield.com/decks/zrqb__3vBE62WN5tcenf-wThis, however, is the deck I made for my brother. Technically Bracket 2. Just takes a few practice reps and a general understanding of cantrips/fetches. Slot in like farewell or someshit, whatever you want really. He'd be running it but he cant use proxies. And it's avatar themes because he's a fag.
>>98399741>play heavy control/combo>sandbag the combo until turn 7>"have it" turn 7>win
>>98396653Where'd you get the haste from?
>post >>98396228>today new Guay art >>98399206Youre welcome
>>98399295>thinks enchantments are scary in selesnyaLol
>>98399704You don't run her as lead you use her to win
>>98397758I'd take Konami any fucking day over Wizards.
I might have just found my favorite card.Just look at this silly guy.All the 30min turns I could have.
>>98399704She's in every high budget deck with black. You can't run her as the face as that would give it away but she's a win condition almost on her own.
>>98399556>>98399567Am I the only one who just wants to play big fucking bonker creatures in commander, no matter if they are win more or not? Like if I drop them and I lose next turn, whatever I dont care, but if they make my next turn even stronger and absurd, then it was worth it.
>>98399937It's fine. You just have to acknowledge the card itself is not very good. Anon basically asked if Nyxbloom Ancient is a green staple, and it's decidedly not.
>>98399554Commander tournaments always sounds like a really fucking stupid idea.
>>98399163yes, hashaton guy. that is an extremely good hit for hashaton. well spotted.
say, how would you rate each color based on how much fun you have playing with them? for me, it's4. White and Blue3. Green2. Red1. Black
>>98399923Once let a guy have Ink-Treader in the command zone. Never fucking again.
>>98398967Because stax is a very unpopular playstyle as basically every card game has demonstrated. I won't get too into the weeds of it here but the problem was that even if someone wanted to play Artifact "nice", basically all the core game mechanics pushed gameplay towards some form of resource starvation that forces players to make decisions on which turns they're going to pass over to save resources for later. This flies in the face of common wisdom for how basically every other card game was developed where they try to minimize the number of turns a player will pass without taking any actions. Artifact was designed around the assumption this made the game more skilled/engaging when the reality was the opposite for the majority of players. Ironically, despite how many keywords and technical info pieces were put on the cards, the core gameplay mechanics gave much less tangible feedback so it was very hard for a lot of players to actually locate mistakes that led to undesirable gamestates, of which there were many.Pretty much up until Gabe Newell had his big crashout in the office (story for another time), there was this super arrogant assumption that the game's learning curve could be a brick wall, but players would love it once they mastered it (note: nobody actually reached this point in playtesting during real games). However the end result was a game that was absolutely miserable to play and gave most players no incentive to stick with it.
>>98396517I play Obeka with Jasper Flint in the 99. She's fun and unique, but you have to have a way to safely do player damage with her. But once you have a few upkeep effects running, it can be devastating.
>>98397309It doesn't matter much, since he kills mostly by commander damage anyway. If you can get him out early enough to not be stopped, he escalates really fast. Add a bit of equipment and he's pretty much unstoppable.
>>98396201>TQfor me, its Ron Spears. With Terese Nielsen up there>>98396228this Rebecca Guay art might be my favorite non-land art of all time. Although I wish this version still said "interrupt". Got the OG and the mystery booster 2 version, very swaggySeb McKinnon's SLD swamp is also one of my favorites. Also love the Dan Frazier backgrounds like Mox Ruby
I'm trading in some unplayed jank to cardkingdom and going to use part of the proceeds to get a Phyrexian Altar for my Dargo/Jeska deck. Caught between OG invasion printing and this secret lair. Which one should I buy, /tg?
>>98400067Whenever I see fancy alt arts I just assume the player is a stupid buyfag. If I see old cards I peg them for a based boomer.
>>98397648Tribalshit shoots up in price pretty much every time, especially generic tribal stuff. Unless it's outright shit, but that isn't. Also reaver cleaver is 20 bucks.
>>98397350from bootleg mage USea or the black lotus dude order tropical rainforest, bayou, taiga, savannah + the shocks + misty rainforest and then have 3-4 forests and 2 each of the basics. fill in with whatever other utility & multi lands, command tower, city of brass (mana confluence for a slightly pricier 2nd copy), reliquary tower etc other fetches for whatever budget whether thats prismatic vista or terramorphic expanse. do the green pain lands as well like Yavimaya Coast and make sure you've got some stuff like Farseek, Nature's Lore, Skyshroud Claim (depending on the mana value of your commander) and stuff that searches for lands with the forest type. its important to have several basics and lean slightly into green for the mana fixingalso birds of paradise
>>98400077>If I see old cards I peg them
>>98399972I assume you mean mono color. For me it's 1. Red, 2. White, 3. Green, 4. Blue, 5. Black. Red used to be lower for me but once I found a mono red commander that really clicked with me it shot up and I've found a few more since then. I'm still waiting for that to happen with black. The only black I've built so far was Ashcoat. Blue is only not at the bottom because I really enjoy dry erase tribal with Orvar.
>>98397763That's just the elder dragon cycle.
>>98400111What's your white commander? I just can't get into the color, but I love mono color decks.
>>983999721. Black2. Blue3. Red4. Green5. WhiteFuck white
>>98397920Outside of GCs, no cammander is "too much" for bracket 2. You just have to build the deck for bracket 2.
>>98400134>Kinnan.>Mana rocks and manlands only
>>98397971Goblin is always an option. I like this dude. With just b2 cards you can win turn 4 if you build it right (but don't because it's b2).Any relatively fast voltron commander would do too.
>>98399385Wait she loses hexproof permanently after attacking? What the fuck I thought it reset every turn
>>98399704She's a wincon, not a commander. Also she's big because of other formats, mostly, where she's a huge clock.
>>98398065>>98397971How do you feel about Craterhoof in the command zone
>>98399923Inktreader is by far the craziest of the nephilim. He's just insane value from everything.
>>98399972No.1 White (lifegain)Black (lifegain but evil)Blue (fun with copies)Red (Dragons are alright I guess?)Green (Dinos are alright I guess?)
>>983999721. Red2. Green3. Black2. Blue1. WhiteI don't even like red, but so many of the decks I have that I love are red. More or less same with green. I probably like black play patterns the best.
>>98400168Nope. Says nothing about "until end of turn" on the card.
>>98400209But she's an awesome commander too, there's so many cards that generate value off her, a bunch of card draw engines make you go life-positive with her instead of negative and she enables one of the meanest groupslug/hug builds you can make
Red is the best color and I'm sick of tolerating anyone who says otherwise.
>>98400299My buddy has a deck with her at the helm. Yeah, you certainly can, but most people just prefer her in a deck with more colors to enable group draw or wheels more. I'd love to have her in my wheel-less nakusar deck, but I don't buy cards over 2 bucks.
>>98398699This looks awesome. I love the giant elk antlers
>>98400332What removal do you run? Best i can fine is picrel.
>>98400041>Pretty much up until Gabe Newell had his big crashout in the office (story for another time)How much longer must I wait for this tantalizing tale anon!>there was this super arrogant assumption that the game's learning curve could be a brick wall, but players would love it once they mastered itThis is super interesting and I would understand why they would think that, given the success and somewhat seemingly natural social media spread of Dota being advertised like that. I actually find their entire corporate structure and strategy super interesting because of stuff like that, I don't know if I'd call it arrogance but I can fully see how their disrespect of "traditional" business models lost them artifact 100% and it's very interesting to me that you see that
How would you build this babe?
>>98400168It doesn't reset unless you blink her or recast her but hexproof until you deal damage is still pretty solid. You can use that time to put on stuff to give her permanent hexproofs and protections and such
>>98400128Odirc. The value him and some equipment gives all the cheap little tokens or creatures white can make significantly more power with the keyword sharing is a lot of fun.
>>98400412Seems like a fun dude, I'll try it out some time.
>>98396961He's already out of the closet.
>>98400412Dude's a fucking Sliver kek.But he does seem fun. Voltron deck that provides bonuses for all your dudes is a neat idea.
>>98399923Is there an enchant or equip with payoff for Ivy getting hit by dozens of spells?
>>98400383Valve forgot that Dota had an already established playerbase, and even despite that it ended up playing second fiddle to League of Legends which pulled the established playerbase + added onboarding mechanics (I'm going to be honest I'm a bit drained rn so I don't want to spend time going into it). The assumption for Artifact was that they would be successful by capturing all of the MtG audience as long as they were better than MTGO which was setting the lowest bar of all time for themselves when even WotC didn't think MTGO was a good bar when they made Arena.
>>98400635Well, second fiddle still netted hundreds of millions a year, but yeah I think we agree. You should drop more stories when your rested anon, this is very interesting.
>>98400595Nta but "keywords matter" stuff like odric are so cool and it makes me upset they did him dirty in vow. I really hope they revisit "Boros vampire odric" in a masters set or something if we don't go back to innistrad soon
>>98400356Player removal. Just beat the shit out of them with dudes
>>98400697How do you get weaker being vampyfied?Did a ghoul bite him shitting in the forest?
>>98400749He was just too pure to give in to the temptation of evil gains.
>>98399972I have 42 mono white decks4 mono red decks3 mono black decks3 mono green decks2 mono blue decksI rate them like that too.
>>98400595>>98400697I played Odric yesterday with some friends, in VC everyone was chill until I swung on t5 with him being Double Strike Flying Vigilance Lifelink 6/6 and all of a sudden people were like calling EXILE THIS DUDE NOW HOLY FUCK, had a good laugh
>>98400595>>98400428He is fun. People don't realize how much of a threat your board is when it looks like it's just him, some equipment, and some 1/1 birds and soldiers. But when they all start flying in with double strike, trample, deathtouch, lifelink, and vigilance players take notice. And he triggers every combat so that same wall is also defending you too.
>>98400965Probably better known as Seth
>>98400749What that other anon said but also it's just fucked up that the effect is so lame. Boros has gotten a lot of discard synergy lately I'd love to see a revisit with something like "whenever you discard a card target creature/creatures you control get your choice of [keywords] until end of turn">>98400898Lmao nice, love having those wild turns that make everyone tune back in >>98400965I value the content this man creates but I can't get over how much his voice grates on me
>>98400697It is baffling how much of a downgrade boros Odirc is. He falls very short compared to what either of his mono white versions do. Kathril is probably the closest other analogue to keywords matter with at least one of his colors.

>>98401119I think Kraven is underplayed and underappreciated, maybe because he's rude and draws out games. And yeah he is "do thing draw card" but the thing in question is removal which is naturally the kind of thing you start wondering about in a format like commander. I mean anon's friend was joking about it without having seen the cards, I think that proves there's appeal >>98401254 Cheville is pretty damn good in Kraven though. He and Hollowmurk Siege are two of the best 2-drops possible in that deckCheville just doesn't have enough of a payoff to build the entire deck around, whereas Kraven can easily go off 3 times per turn cycle and sometimes more
I have to stop inviting my buddy to magic night. All he does now is cedh. I can't talk to him about magic without him mentioning Blue Farm, Kinnan lines, or how good Snap is. I tried to show him that new smaug ritual and his only response was "wouldn't even see play in Rogsi." I like the guy too, and I like high powered magic from time to time, but he's totally incapable of flexibility. Only cedh all the time. We had a new player show up with a precon the other day. We played low power decks, but he insisted on playing his cedh deck to "get reps in." His deck isn't even cedh technically. Sucks i have to kick him, but whatever. Blogpost/rant over.
Forgive me for the dumb question but I can copy his ability with Roaming Throne right?

Low power players, such as yourself, are paradoxically focused on rules that dont make sense at a conceptual level, then build byzantine retard fortresses to be insulated from criticism.You said it yourself, your friend isnt playing a top tier deck. It's not even "technically" cedh. You are an exact mirror reflection, someone missing the forest through the trees, but the difference is he is trying to complete the objectives of the game, and you are trying to schmooze for internet brownie points. You stopped inviting your friend, someone you like, because he didnt kiss your ass about how you prefer to play calvinball.Do as you must, but feel bad for being foolish if you're going to feel bad at all. You'd expect better if the situation was reversed.
>>98401142Sucks to be a right winger desu. I'll probably enjoy the set
>>98401447Better than fairy mastermind.
>>98401142... which one?
>>98401497When the trough fills will slop the pigs will eat, yes.
>>98401480Thank god me and my friends are all sadistic power gaming assholes with a chip on our shoulder.1 keeps bragging how he obliterates children in games.The other works in HR.I myself am only held back by a thin layer of selfpreservation.
>>98401513What?
>>98401516That's the thing, I'm sure you wouldnt give a fuck what someone else was playing. If someone really wanted to wander up with some derped deck with a 7cmc average, you'd let them, and if they enjoyed the deck beyond the merits of the game, they'd enjoy it too.It only gets weird when people want to win, but dont want to try. Or when people who suck want to win but cant do it in a conventional way, or refuse to adapt to strategies that best them. And those are exclusively lower power players.

>>98401480Not at all what I said. I break out my high power Aminatou deck to put him in place when necessary. I'm just not an autistic freak who thinks everyone needs to like trains as much as me. It's exactly inflexibility I'm identifying as a problem.
>>98401542they will print some dumb shit like this eventually
>>98401545So, if you can beat him whenever you want, arent you the issue here? Everyone does need to like trains as much as you do, but you havent diagnosed that. To beat someone you need to try your best, particularly when they best you. If that person is always sandbagging, that shit is disrespectful, because even your sandbagging will be more calibrated. They do not get the chance to best you. And this is a fundamental concept of all games, to attempt to win.So, this person you like is being disrespected. They are not allowed to attempt to win. All the resources online direct them to that if that's their objective. You can reverse engineer how to win if you work. You cant reverse engineer the whims of people who do not communicate clearly, or are lying to themselves.If winning didnt matter, you wouldnt have needed to say you were better. Since it does, your friend is right.
>>98401359no actually you can't, roaming throne does not work with delayed or reflexive triggers. I just learned this the other day
98401570Why are all cedh "players" like this?
>>98401631I'm not ctrl+fing to find what you are replying to.
>>98401142>crying about DEI in the DEI game
>>98401618I'm guessing you can copy the "you may pay 2" but not the "if you do"?
>>98401633It's chatgpt anyway, don't worry about it.
>>98401649What are you on about? Are you okay?
So so far with the Hobbit>LotR reprints >more cards for a bunch of already oversupported deck types>gimmick set tribalDo we really need a dozen plus sets a year when every one is the same goddamn shit?
>>98401654I think he's saying that that anon writes like an LLM
>>98401640correct, look at https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/1izlhhm/why_doesnt_roaming_throne_trigger_reflexive/
>>98401671>RedditI'm just going to assume you are wrong on principle.
>>98401684how hard is it to literally google this dumbass> 603.2e Some effects refer to a triggered ability of an object. Such effects refer only to triggered abilities the object has, not any delayed triggered abilities (see rule 603.7) that may be created by abilities the object has.
>>98401694This is clearly written by chatgpt
Go back in time and punch a babyEnchantment UubAs this enchantment enters, pick a number between 1 and 5. Each opponent exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile a card with that mana value.If a player would take an extra turn, each of that players’ opponents lose half their life rounded up instead.
>>98401713Go Back In Time And Punch A BabyBUGInstantExile target creature, and that player creates a white 0/1 baby creature token with "when this creature dies, add BUG" Target creature you control fights another target creature."Oh shit, you fucking what?" -Famous last words.
You Are a Gay Retard.1BSorcery.Anyone opponent with a commander on the battlefield or in the command zone that is from an Universes Beyond set loses the game. You may cast You Are a Gay Retard from exile, your graveyard, or from your library at instant speed if you pay life equal to your current total life total minus 1.
>>98401761Go Back In Time And Punch A BabyBRSORCERYExile target player and flip a coin. If the result is heads, return that player as a baby, otherwise that player returns as hitler. Until end of turn, you are legally allowed to punch each infant player once.
>>98401782>deflecting swats to the caster and becomes hitler
>>98401770You are double gay, and double retarded4UInstantAt the end of the turn you lose the game.Each player reveals their hand, and you may search their library and graveyard. If a player has any card with a name different than the first printing in the oracle text, or a copyright symbol from a company that isnt wizards of the coast, that player takes 9 infect damage, has their life total set to one, discards their hand, shuffles their each permanent thet control into their library, shuffles their graveyard into their library, then exiles their library and gains a dumbass emblem with "this player cannot lose the game".
I made a Thoracle player lose the game with this the other day.
>>98401851Hard to believe they didn't have a counterspell in hand.
>>98401857Nobody expects to lose to two Plains.
>>98401868You can make them lose to 1 plains and they can't even respond except with a single morph creature.
>>98401879I like EL more since it can be a Dawn's Truce if necessary. More flexible. AG is better at that specific role though, yes.
how good is search for tomorrow?I guess if you have it on your starting hand its great but if you draw it later its crap. do you guys run it or rather play one of the other ramp spells?
>>98401142Can you post this in english please, saar?
>>98401931It's fine in any deck that is begrudgingly okay paying the full rate for it (i.e., you want to ramp into your 5cmc commander by turn 4). Also notable that the land enters untapped which can be an okay consolation prize.
>>98401879T: Add one mana of any mana to your mana pool. Counter target spell.
>>98402043You go ahead and let me know when something like that exists.
>deck pops off early and builds a dominant board of big creatures>snipe a guy's u/w voltron commander twice>he gets annoyed>complains about my board, says his deck can't handle it>point out none of my stuff has haste and you can just play a board wipe to set me back to the stone age>"I don't RUN board wipes">reveals he had 2 counterspells he didn't use on me earlier in the game>doesn't want to switch decks for a game 2 because he's so upset>pod disbands???
>>98401119Based. Fuck UB.
>>98401671Am I missing something. From what I understood, you still get to trigger the ability an additional time, you just don't get the "if you do" part (the delayed trigger) triggering an additional additional additional time because the teiggered ability ia creating the delayed trigger ability, not the creature-- but you still should get the delayed trigger off the initial additional trigger because the triggered ability that's triggering an additional time is creating its own delayed trigger.So from what I can see, yes it works as it intuitively would, just not as a person that inderstand delayed triggers within triggered abilities thinks it might work.
>>98401694But the triggerwd ability creates the delated triggerwd ability, so you would still get the delayed triggered ability, just no mare additional times, yes?
Can I get a chud-check on Aaron Miller and Kieran Yanner?One is married to a "Chris", the other is on bluesky.Deciding whose art to get.
>>98402351Sounds like by friend that doesn't run any interaction because "he's more interested in doing the thing" and doesn't understand interaction will overall lead to him doing the thing more often.
>>98402399next thread
>>98401851Based. I did that once like a year and a half ago and you could watch the guy's heart break when I responded. Might be my favorite moment I've had playing the game.
>>98402395Kieran is the guy with the bad haircut on the commander curse cycle, but I largely like both of their art. Kieran also did more at of planes walkers if you don't like them though.

>>98401168yes
