As-Commander or otherwise
>>98419420>What's the shittiest creature you run? As-Commander or otherwiseShit I have way too many decks to go through and figure this out. Pic rel I have in foil and slotted into my Omarthis deck. It's really only there as a "welp I got nothing fuckin better to do this turn oh well" card
>Big and Black Edition
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
YOU FUCKERS SAID THE GAY DRAGON THING WAS A JOKE
>>98419420>What's the shittiest creature you run? As-Commander or otherwiseProbably a bunch of big wurms in my Yargle deck since it has a wurm sub-theme. >engulfing slagwurm>panglacial wurm>pelakka wurm>penumbra wurmProbably one of those. I wouldn't say any are bad, but they most likely have been powercrept and I could play more powerful creatures in their place, but I love big wurms.
>>98419479It is and it has really wore out whatever comedy it had like 4 years ago
>>98419420>I le defaced le OP with advertisements for my gay furry porn commissions again xDDDDDFake thread, not /tg/, shan't use.
>>98419479>>98419516It's okay bro they're just a little fruity.
>>98419538A little... zesty perhaps?
>>98419567banned for eternity in the prison of zest
>>98419567Another great example of how Sheldon was abysmal at card evaluation.>Meta is 2 monoblue decks, 2 esper decks, 1 izzet deck, a 5c deck, and Rofellos>Hmm yes clearly Rofellos is the only problem here
I gotta get something off my chest I think the gay bolas guy was funny and every time you guys seeth about the gay bolas ops even funnier
Dockside but worse. The extra draw off treasures is cool thobeit
>>98419667Beeg dockside cute
>TQPic related. She's really not great compared to what i could be running, but thematically she fits well in the deck
https://moxfield.com/decks/UEC9o1kv8EupMJXTxx1OGQAfter playing this against bots for months I'm going to finally try playing it for real wish me luck
>>98419711Have fun anon!
>>98419665I genuinely do not know how people are even cognizant of the links in the OP. Are they so new they don't just glaze over them? I wasn't aware of the links until the shit fits started.
There are going to be at least 4 more Marvel sets.
>>98419567UNBAN HIM YOU WOTC FUCKERS!
>>98419665Chest? Like Smaug's bare chest?
>>98419749>"This I swear! By Smaug's black hand!" What did Tolkien mean by this
>>98419740Not scary to me until after they do the X-Men since I'm a mark for my mugga Gambit. After the X-Men set though boy that's gonna suck dick
>>98419479>opponent dumps 6 mana into>exiles 3 of my lands, removal, card draw and a huge threat>casts it>game is fucked
>>98419479WotC dragons have been gay for 20 years now Anon.
>>98419567
>dragons are the epitome of greed and sin>they're also gayaccidental chud w?
>>98419740That's fine with me, because it means they'll have to make an X-Men set at some point, and X-Men is the only Marvel franchise that allows sexo.
>>98419740X-men are a given, but what of the other 3?2099What If Cosmic
>>98419791here you go, wotc psylocke from new york city block #4
>>98419802That marvel group with like Strange, Blade and Ghost Rider and some others. Like the Midnight Suns? Supernatural block set could be OK
>>98419791>mfw get the collectors version of Rogue with the fattest ass ever made for a MTG card
>>98419827>midnight sunsxcom set when
>>98419837>x com setI'm in, but I expect multiple dice roll cards that lean in favor of you getting super fucked by the rng
>>98419840The Space Family Goblinson might finally see play
>>98419840hey man sectoids are good dancers what can I say
I'm sure the guy was talking out of his ass, but god I hope its true they're going to reprint true duals and make them count as basics.
>>98419802Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men are 100% gonna be 2 of the 4 sets.There is even an out of place random treefolk in the Marvel Commander set that was likely supposed to be Groot but they decided last minute to save all the guardians until their own set.
>>98419863sorry best I can do
>>98419863>reprint true duals and make them count as basics.They already do have the basic land types
>>98419881
commanders for this vibe
Thinking of building Minstrel so I can try going that "if you have 10 Gates you win" con or the "if you have 5c creatures and every basic land type you win" What are some neat 5c creatures i can splash in with all that mana available
>>98419900reaper king is a sneaky way to get 5C critter
Just played some Brawl and holy fuck what an unbelievably miserable format.Even worse than 60 card.It's literally just everyone running sloppiest goymmanders possible and spamming a trillion removal cards, what's the appeal of a format where every deck is control?
>>98419791Is Psylocke Dimir? We already know Jugs-bilee the Token WAsian will be the pushed Izzet.
>>98419854I've got the special foil version and dear god that would make me build it on the spot. There's just not enough (good) dice roll cards in red/green to try it yet
>want to run a fun Vexing Puzzle box deck but almost all the dice roll cards aside from like fucking bobbleheads are from UnhingedLike pic related is a fair effect on a card, why this shit gotta be banned
>>98419895The reasoning for it, and them doing in such a nothing-burger way are both idiotic enough to be true, but I really doubt it.I'm honestly mad them doing RL reprints as serialized or only Uber rare surge foils isn't already a thing. Seems like a perfect way to do it without making investards seethe.
>>98419927There's not enough dice rolling cards that can see play period. I'd love to make a shitpost deck with them but just don't have enough options to even try yet
>>98419921Psylocke is Jeskai as a character, but they'll probably make her Dimir since she's a Ninja. Would be extremely based if they made her Grixis, but that's the "villain" color in mtg atm.
>>98419947I just want some funny ass janky yahtzee deck where I drop 5+ dice a turn like.. at the beginning of combat/first main phase and get massive buffs. I don't want some "roll 1 dice over and over for 10 different cards" type deck
>>98419964>I just want some funny ass janky yahtzee deck where I drop 5+ dice a turnMe too bruh
>>98419921Orzhov imo. Jubilee i could see Jeskai. Gambit I think will be the Izzet out of the X-Men still not released
>>98419964>>98419982Closest thing I can think of is making a shit ton of luck bobblehead copies and going super gambling with them for the funny
>>98419929only the sweatiest of fags would screech at you for running something like this, nobody SHOULD give a fuck
>>98420019>>98419929Honestly just be upfront and show which Un-set cards you're running so the rest of the table isn't nervous about random ass bullshit you *might* be hiding in the rest of the deck. If you showed me that you were only running the fair un-cards then I'd love to see what you were gonna pull off
>>98419982This was gonna be my Attractions commander but I just couldn't make it work. Just not enough attraction cards + good enough dice rolling cards
making Jumpstart themes is so much fun.time to place a huge Card Kingdom order.
>>98419929plz understand we need more vehicles draw/discard +1/+1 counter and one off niche tribalsloppa set cards no room for dice or other barely supported cards
>>98419725Otherway around I presume, at a certain point the same stale bait gets boring so your only fun is baking and critiquing the bake
>Guy drew like a mad man through the game but over expended early so his infinite combo has been exiled. >Playing pic related with sunforger. >He managed to take out the third person making it a 1v1 with me.>Play grand abolisher and sass turn. At the beginning of his turn, use sunforger to fetch orim's chant and pay the kicker, telling him he can't cast spells or attack.>He just passes>Exile it with Quint and pass back, just to cast it again. Tell him, sadly, this is how I need to play to win this, and will make him deck out.>Tell him, I'm going to proceed to do this until he decks out, so please tell me if you have something like kozilek in your deck that will refresh your library>He says "I might, we should play it out.>He do, for 30 fucking turns. >He did.Game night has made me so angry.
>>98420077oops I posted this in the edh general loool
>>98420154Divine retribution for no instant speed GY hate.
>>98420165I did manage to still win, but it just took an hour to get enough mana to do other shit while he couldn't do anything.
>>98419991How about Magik? She'd def be like a flicker focus yea?
>>98420170Deserved for looping Orim's Chant. King forced you to play it out.
>>98420198Agreed. I am a firm believer in "That's not a deterministic loop; show me how you win."
>>98419740Are they all going to be next year?
>>98419420>TQPicrel is my pet card. I run him in Lord of Riots so he comes out cheaper but still. I wish he'd get a Legend version
>>98419908Because that's what Commander looks like when you're playing against people that are slightly less shit at the game than people at the LGS playing their first deck made from random Final Fantasy chaff.
>>98420232No way. They definitely want Wizards to space them out to be more in line with new movies. The latest Marvel set wouldn't have done as well if it did if it wasn't released so close to the new Spiderman and Avengers trailers.
>>98419740The first one was pretty good so if the other three are around the same quality I'm fine with it.
>>98419895>dual lands>but they count as basics so you can play any amount of them>also they are super rare so every mtg deck in every format now costs tens of thousands to be optimalNo, anon. I don't think a random schizobabble post on 4chan is a WotC insider.
>>98420241False.
>>98419448this is a fun card I actually was running unironically in my mono green Toski deck. just way too many other good ways to spam +1/+1 counters. but I like it. might add it back in
>>98419479oh sweet this actually a legit way to steal someone's rampant growth or Farseek on t2 for Nightscape colors (red blue black)
>>98419908Are you playing historic? Or is standard a control mess too? I figured it would have gotten better after Toxrill rotated out.
>>98419420TQ, This dude. He also looks super weird being a card with a modern frame. But printed without Vigilance or the Legendary Supertype.
>>98419479also great flavor actually. this set is going to be a banger
Is Wandering Rescuer the only choice I have if I wanna have her be my Commander? I guess I can lean into convoke shenanigans with that one
>>98420241Brawl and Duel Commander are way different from regular Commander just from the lower life totals. You can't sit back and ramp into retarded shit as easily without getting your shit pushed in by more aggressive decks.
>>98419479When is that hitting?Gonna make all the gay elves on my wishlist more expensive.
>TQone of these two shits in my Indo Rex deck. Kitchen Imp because you can cast him for B as he gets discarded and Yavimaya because at one point this was considered a good card but with Rise of the Dark Realms its fun to see on the board and the old wording of Haste is fun as well
>>98419908yeah brawl isnt commander. if you want to play one on one commander do MTGO. and you need to run blue or at the very least red with pyro blast + red elemental blast or else you'll never get shit througharena is so cancerous I cant believe there are people who play it over MTGO
>>98419448>>98419708>What's the shittiest creature you run?Those aren't creatures...
>>98420309>I cant believe there are people who play it over MTGOI can. Believe it or not but most people don't want to play on a crusty emulator from fucking 2002. Duel Commander is the far superior version of Brawl, but holy shit MTGO is such a dogshit outdated client.
>>98420299oh shit I have that Ant card in my Saskia Ball Lightning tribal deck. I had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find enough of them. Pic rel is my fav card in that deck though, I keep it in hand until a board wipe happens (or the aristocrats player gets too sac-greedy and wipes themself) then send it out and give it double strike. The reaction of the table is always great
Is this good for a somewhat high powered but still casual table?
>>98420315>duel commander>commander variant with sol ring bannedopinion discarded. and yeah mtgo is a dog shit client barely runs on VMware fusion on a nice M series Mac its so bad but the alternatives dont come close. there is no 4 player alternativemtg Forge is amazing but only 1v1
>>98420309>arena is so cancerous I cant believe there are people who play it over MTGOThere is literally no way to play MTGO for free so that's that.
>>98420318haha thats funny that Putrefax is in the indominus rex deck too. although it can't absorb infect its just a sneaky closer if I get him on board 2x hits takes someone out. I remember Putrefax being kinda fearsome in the original scars of mirrodin days which is around the time I started originally yavimaya ants though was in Richard Garfields deck from like 2002 the Garfield Vs Finkel deck against the Pro Tour champ as like his best creatures even though it was such a piece of shit (that plus Lhurgoyf I think, which I also have in the Indo Rex deck) with the cumulative upkeep. its just keyword fodder in my deck but can be good for a turn or 2 played on its own.
>>98420332Why not just play Tabletop Sim for 4-player?
>none of these are 2/2 for 2manaUBHASGONETOOFUCKINGFAR
>>98420359Good. Bears are slowly becoming an archetype that isn't just the 2/2 meme.
>>98420334ok arena isnt free either if you want to play with good cards and the card pool is severely limited. I made my MTGO account in 2010 I don't even remember what it was. 5 bucks or 10 bucks I dont know but I definitely got 10 dollars of value in it. my entire collection on there is worth like 120 dollars I have multiple duals including Underground Sea, Volcanic Island, Bayou, Time Twister, Mox Diamond so on and so forththe cards are a fraction of their inflated value. Black Lotus hovers between 45-60 bucks. If you had 100 bucks you could have the account + whatever free cards they give you + 90 to spend on whatever. Which could get you like every dualyou can make a good bracket 3 deck with true duals for less than 20 bucks. 5 bucks even I would bet. Smothering Tithe costs 2¢ or the gooner version is $1.50. Rhystic Study is $4.50. Gaea's Cradle $13. Wheel of Fortune is 28¢. Vampiric Tutor 4¢ Many bulk cards can be bought for $0.0006
>>98420359this is shaping up to be a banger set. those bears are kino (and not the groomer type like GōtC tries to indoctrinate/groom children with)
>>98420283You realize top-level commander will often have all their key pieces established by turn 3, right?
>>98420386oh yeah here's the kicker you can then SELL your cards for money if you really wanted to leave the gamethat and universe within sets let you redeem sets. which from bots you can buy an entire set and then do the redemption making it the only main direct way to get complete card sets (now as a 2nd party since Daybreak games not GōtC directly runs it). arena schmena get that crap outta here
>>98420359Give me a Fat Bear Week secret lair.
>>98420424You're just going to get fat gay men again.
>>98420386Browns really don't want to make an initial investment on a game even if it's a small one. They'd rather grind for several months on arena to make 1 deck.Regardless of the price though MTGO still looks like ass.
Can anyone recommend some recursion for equipments and auras? I have Mantle of the Ancients but its mainly an all or nothing card
>>98420473yeah it could be a poor person mentality I dont know I just dont see the draw of arenaand mtgo looks great no stupid animations no bullshit literally just digital representation of the cards in a clean way. it just runs like dog shit. like mega dog shit
>>98420480is it just a mono W deck?
>>98420480Colors? Budget? Theme?
>guy plays creature heavy deck>routinely over extends>begins complaining about board wipes>runs no counterspells despite being in blue
>>98420340Putrefax won me a sealed Scars of Mirridon tournament. Over 80 people in the pre release. I actually opened 3 of them and went pure green infect and won the whole thing. Ended up winning a ton of packs and the $$$ put me so far ahead. Love that card.
>>98420193Probably a boros flicker yeah
>love playing the game>hate the manchild nerds that make up 99% of the game's player base Maybe I should become a streamer, seems like the only way to play with people I don't want to beat with a bat.
>>98420313That's where you're wrong, kiddo
>most obnoxious guy at the table is always the guy with the 4chan personalityevery time
>>98420508same. I live in this random town because my girlfriends elderly parents live here and its nice but I know no one here. 4 times in a row ive gone to an LGS to find no games, the most recent time I actually just saw through the window and it was a bunch of the stereotype people. and yeah im being judgmental but I can almost guarantee its not people I want to hang out with
>>98420480Brilliant Restoration is your GOAT for this one, but its 3WWWW.Otherwise you're fucked down to mostly single target recursion unless you want to go symmetrical. Academy Ruins is one of your few repeatables along with Hall of Heliod's Generosity. Some creatures will do it, but they're usually jank triggers like Mazzy, Truesword Paladin exiling it to cast or Tiana, Ship's Caretaker fishing them out of your graveyard on your end step.You're basically looking at blanket permanent recursion at a certain point; I generally prefer having more hits to work with in my library than relying on fishing stuff out of the GY unless my gameplan is going to recycle them as part of the main gameplan; in which case, choosing auras or equipment rather than both can make synergy much leaner. Danse of the Manse, for example is pretty flexible comparatively, but won't work with Auras specifically.
>>98420516For me it's always the too-fucking-energetic "lol so randum xD" type from like 2010. Holy fuck how do people still act this way 15 fucking years later???
>>98420527It really is incredible just how rigidly nerds fit into the stereotype about them. I tried playing at our local LGS's and it was a giant cringefest with furries, morbidly obese middle agers, dyed hairs, neckbeards, etc, all who think and act exactly like others would expect people like that to think and act. It's a cesspool of literal NPCs running AI generated behavior routines.I only enjoy playing with my friend group of normies, but unfortunately that means typical normie behavior too of only playing once every few months, flaking, last minute cancellations, etc.It sucks being too nerdy for normie town, too normie for nerd town.
>>98420516lol a few months ago a guy got himself ostracized from our group because he couldn't hide his power level and was spamming group chats with polshit and the others just got sick of him. funniest thing is I'm WAAAAAAAAAAY more right wing and racist than him but I'm smart enough to understand mtg is not a safe space to go full chud
>>98420555Glad it happened
>>98420527gf+2 elderly parentsgot your group right there retard
>>98420508>>98420548Nerds have changed. I met some of my best friends 15 years ago playing magic and yugioh. Nowadays card shops are filled with people I don't want to even have a conversation with, let alone be friends with.
