>>98646271Arent they both canonically dead
>>98646384TL;DR: The titans’ physical manifestations are avatars of infinitely more powerful entities, and by “killing” them, Chandra just pissed them off, like really bad.
>>98646196>TQNever been the biggest fan of Eldrazi. I acknowledge their power level but I really just don't like them, personally.>>98646439I like the idea of Chandra pissing off Eldrazi creatures. I love Chandra.
CHANDRA GUPTA
>>98646439No, they used the leylines to burn away the entities in their own """"plane"""" through their avatars dead ass fully killing them.Emi is just like she's stuck in a wall unable to run away waiting to get free use pounded
When do we get to the cool planeswalkers like Sorin
I am curious to play with the new Fractured Reality cards on Arena draft. In terms of IRL play, I am probably going to skip the set.
Oh fuck, this is relevant to my interests.. I have not been paying attention to new sets or Arena for almost a year and did not even know about this Emrakul until right now. I was playing my Butcher of Truth deck on Saturday.
i can't wait to get the new emmy for my baral deck. exile it to ramp after there were no good spells to counter, time twister effect to refill the hand while still keeping emmy available, then going for a big high tide turn that casts emmy and then untaps all my islands for MOAR BIG MANA. fuck, what a good finisher.>>98646555i want to see more davriel, dihada, and tezz. estrid and grist would be cool to see more of. lots of characters without cards that could be cool walkers as well. crucius would be nice to see. it would also be fun to see another azor creature card with his reality fracture card being him as a planeswalker.
>>98646706Some lore for Estrid and Grist would be great.I know Grist has the comic but I don't think thats considered canon?Speaking of tezz, what the fuck was the point of EoE? They introduce a stone that can change the past and then it gets taken and tezzeret steals some fingers.Please bring back blocks
>>98646516The name Chandra didn't give it away?
I really don't care for the empower Jace mechanic
>>98646832indestructible is going the way of regenerate
>>98646832Same. Not a fan of Plansewalker cards in general
>>98646834Phase out is the new indestructible nerd
>>98646839i still lose my blockers if i phase them out
>>98646832exile + multiple surveils/draws in black is very good, 100% replaces the turd that is final act
>>98646860Final Act wipes Planeswalkers, Experience and Energy Counters though.>>98646853Your opponent also loses any attackers if they are playing this exile wipe you fucking moron.
>>98646777emmy gets unleashed, eats the fractureverse, tezz becomes the unlikely protagonist of the next arc and uses the stone to turn back time and retrap emmy (some retarded plot loophole keeps fractureverse eated).honestly, this is too smart for wotc writing. especially since they had ALL the setup and foreshadowing required that could have had bolas as being the answer to the phyrexian interplanar invasion, even having sworn his first act if he had become god-pharaoh to be to destroy the phyrexians (as he saw them as the greatest threat to his rule). instead, they opted for "lol we turned off the wi-fi". fuck these retards.
>>98646891haste isn't real
>>98646832It hurts my feelings that the potential is so high and there’s a genuinely compelling depth of design space in the mechanic, but it’s NuWOTC so it’s the most bland watered down possible version of the idea.
>>98646853What? They get phased out at instant speed in response to the wipe, they come back at your next turn or whatever, etc.
>>98646834I'd like to see a protection spell, "Target creature can't be exiled until EOT" or something.
>new set gets spoiled>check if any cards fit my existing deck>order 0-3 cards>wait a month or two for next set>rinse and repeathow do I enjoy magic again?
>>98646992you seem to imply that you will only enjoy mtg if you get to buy 10+ cards every sethow's your pod? you keep getting stomped or something?
>>98646992Just like thatKeep buying, piggy
>>98646992new decks, limited, cube. building a cube is fun, fun seeing how it plays out and hearing from players what they think should be cut/changed. it takes more brainpower to build a good, functional cube than a commander deck. you can also make cubes around specific concepts or mechanics. i have two cubes i am building: one based around the modular mechanic and another that is MASSIVE (with some collation being done to make your "packs", separating different groupings of cards into new "rarities" so that each pack has a certain amount of cards from each "rarity") to simulate something more of a chaos draft or a mystery booster draft.
>>98647002bro is glazing hasbros quarterly earnings over three pieces of cardboard. take a lap.
>>98647042Each dollar a bullet
>>98646832It just needed to not specify that you can only put them on a token Jace and it would have been ridiculous.
>>98646834Because you're looking at 6 mana mythic bombs instead of the 4 mana wipes that are actually worth playing.
>>98646834Its no different then it always has been. You could always still give it -X or edicts effects.This is nothing new.
>>98647199The prevalence of getting around it is what he was referring to, not the possibility, retardkun
>>98647212the prevalence of getting around indestructible has always been high.
>>98647194Yeah, this happened when aetherdrift dropped and we already discussed it last threadwhy bring it up again
>>98647194>black earthIt means fertile land. Black soil is good soil. >named it the Hindi word for “invention”There is no lazier name they could have picked.
>>98647194Nice save, WotC
This card used to absolutely wreck commander-centric decks.
>>98647426for comparison overwrite the multiverse replaces itself and has the potential to give you more
>>98647194I wouldn't care as much if they'd made any real effort to justify it in-universe. There was another bloodless revolution between the events of Aether Revolt and Aetherdrift because the post-revolutionary government wasn't revolutionary enough, but the NEW one was all good and pure and so renamed the world.Fuck that. Have the post-revolution government run into similar allocation and logistical issues and fragment. Have multiple competing factions and governments with their own utopian ideals trying to become top dog, with the core aether network now being managed by wealthy industrialists who are more interested in keeping the lights turned on than in politics--a heterogenous group that can contain legitimately aspirational geniuses and people who want their thumbs as close to the scales as possible, but who are still interested in stability over all else.Given the rapidity and frequency of collapse, people could have become jaded with the promises of the old regime, with the phrase "Kaladesh failed" gaining prominence. That would encourage the nascent governments to avoid the word, each trying to present their own vision of the future. But since none of them would be able to claim dominance, people would just start referring to the world by the term the industrialist collective used for their power grid--both explaining why it's kind of a lame name ("We weren't actually intending to rename the world") and sowing the seeds for the industrialists becoming the reluctant de facto government.
I hope jace dies.
>>98647475A nonzero number of Jaces will probably experience a nonzero number of technical deaths. What that actually means in practical terms is up in the air until Friday.
>>98647478It has been saying for the last 3 chapters that he needs to die for the merge to stop but I know they will pull something out of their ass and he will be fine.
>>98647487>I know they will pull something out of their assAnon...look at the OP image.>Tam encounters Emrakul and gets spooked>Emrakul notices the existence of the Echoverse>BabyJace, on being accepted by Vraska, realizes he's allowed to ask for help and then realizes there's someone he CAN ask for help>Vraska, who is carrying BabyJace, conspicuously absent at the final showdown with TheoristJace>all the extra Jaces inexplicably nope out of TheoristJace's head when he's about to pull off the Fuckening, rather than staying and trying stop him until the last
>>98647426Weird. I don't remember anyone successfully resolving this against Azami or Arcum. Almost like the average EDH player was terrible back then just like they're terrible now, but still had the need to form opinions on a format they knew almost nothing about.
>>98647023What's cube, precious?
>>98647426Sorry. Actually meant this card.
So is Farewell the new meta board wipe in White or is it just a meme?
>>98647586It's not worth the GC slot it was put there as a softban against retards curving it on all modes and wasting 45 minutes.
>>98647579Still don't recall this being able to successfully resolve against Arcum or Azami, the two most notable commander-focused decks of the era.
>>98647644You have such a peculiar strain of autism.
>>98647644Cool. I used to absolutely fuck over Kaalia decks with it.
>>98647727>Dude I stomped Timmy's shitpile
>>98647194The weirdest thing I can think of is how posthumously everyone refers to it as avishkar, including those who haven't set foot on the plane in a long time. It doesn't make sense; people shouldn't know about the name change unless they lived there during the revolution.
>>98647734Correct. It wasn't so much about stomping them, but sending a message. If your deck folds without your commander, it's a bad deck.
I'm jelly of the creativity of good deck builders. All I can do is good_stuff.slop and cummander_builds_itself.dec.Meanwhile some guys turn commander decks into pieces of art.
>>98647753>If your deck folds without your commander, it's a bad deck.This is always the biggest trvthnvke I struggle to swallow. I LIKE building decks around my commander, because I feel like it's the point of the format. It just sucks that doing so basically guarantees you won't win against anyone actually competent, which thankfully, most commander players are not.
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>98647757>All I can do is good_stuff.slop and cummander_builds_itself.dec.It's mostly just knowing how to use scryfall, truthfully. But the best way to get better at making more creative decks is to just make piles of shit based off jokes. https://moxfield.com/decks/mf5ngfcqnE6DcejlYvE7yAThe entire punchline of this deck is the elephant in the room. (mostly) every card has an elephant in the art and then I ran every room spell I could. To find what I wanted, I just looked up t:elephant on scryfall, clicked the first card, then went to the tagger to see what art tags it had. Then i found out about art:elephant. From there, I just added the commander color restriction and the format I wanted (commander), and just perused that. Then I just typed up t:room and added what rooms I could, regardless of synergy or usefulness. It's not a particularly good deck, but it is kinda funny to pull out and have people realize the theme halfway through the game.
>>98647753Cool anyway let's see how much those Arcum decks are struggling since they can't function without their commander.
>>98647753>If your deck folds without your commander, it's a bad deck.then why are people still angry at this guy being in b2?
>>98647831The mh2 symbol really ties the whole thing together.
>>98647839Because he's actually someone just as terrible at the game as the people he claims to be teaching.
>>98647831>I'll always have my 6-drop to punish these monoblue decks that win if they untap with their 4-drop commander
>>98647753I'll let CEDH know all their decks are bad.
>>98647762You can build the deck around the commander and still have it function without it. You just have to avoid being too greedy.
>>98647881You can just say you never played against good players if you expect monoblue to not hold up its primary form of interaction when it's trying to win the game.
>>98647883For sure, but I also think it very much depends on the commander. Like my dragonhawk deck will still function alright without the commander, because at the end of the day it's still a deck of 4/x fliers, but something like an eluge deck gets raped bigly if you don't have him out
I hate this cool fucker is too slow for format unless I play like the most lame control deck i can and even then he's probably just going to get hit with a sacrifice effect or something
>>98647895
>>98648089Okay LARPer. Let me know when you get a cEDH top with your masterful strategy.
>>98648086Don't let it stop you. He's fun.
>>98648086hey the cool thing about WUBRG is that you're in both U and G, aka the best value colors. just ramp like crazy and dump him directly into your opponents with haste.
>>98646992Same I only really like the white rise of the dark realms from reality fracture. so that's all I'm getting.
>>98648086You can try to build one of those decks that puts Dawn's reflection on a bounceland and then untaps it a bunch of times. Surely that would get you there quick enough.
>>98648096
>>98647644Watch out, we got a bad ass here
>>98647923My buddy took apart his eluge deck for that reason. It was oppressive and every time he'd cast his commander, the table would chant "Suffer not the fish to live." and anyone with interaction would kill/counter it or we'd all attack him. The "suffer not" rule now applies to Eluge, Yawgmoth, Tergrid, Orvar, RU Jhoira and a couple of others because my table is all bracket 4 bastards
>>98648188>>98648199Your seethe is palpable.
>>98648219afraid to give me more material? haha I had fun anon tyif I ever encounter the two most notable commander-focused decks of the era in the wild, I'll think of it as fate
>>98648238Keep going, nogames.
>>98647881>>98648188>>98648238
AI was a mistake
>I M A G I N E
>>98648219Nah, you're just cringey dude
AI is awesome
>>98648286this is legit fucking funny anon lmaovery witty
I hate to interrupt you guys' bonding rituals, but this cute motherfucker has just been made legal as a commander in Competitive Brawl and I am infinitely tempted to build him just to harness the insane amount of seething his skillful mechanics can generate
>>98647881powerful memetic weapon anon, this will trigger many a tantrum in the future
>>98648286ludokino
>>98648318Good luck playing him in cBrawl anon you're probably going to get raped.
>>98648290Imagine seething this much when you couldn't manage to gatekeep TWD, let alone relevant fanbases.
>>98648291Keep praying for tuck to come back. It's not going to happen.
>>98648286The two cards bit at the end gave me a good chuckle, I'll keep it a buck
>Tons of card support for wizards>none for warlockstired of this bias
>>98648218That's why I play eluge theft instead. Doesn't matter as much if they kill eluge, I'm still stealing their shit regardless. Of course then I get targeted regardless, so it's kind of a moot point, but still.
>>98648401I am actually super duper familiar with the cBrawl meta, I'm Mythic top 200 even tho I refuse to play any of the meta semenslurping piles that are so popular nowadays; unfortunately it's just not a fun gamemode to play, I dunno why WotC made a format that is so similar to commander yet it's filled to the brim with all the bullshit that commander players hateThe main issue is, I frankly have no fucking clue what shell to even use him withMaybe some Boros aggro bullshit? The only deck that manages to pull off aggro somewhat well is Merry, and she's turbocharged to specifically do that, getting to turn 4 to cast le dog sounds kinda troublesomeThe only other parallel is Quintorius (forma de SoS), but his whole deck is very memey and built around doing one thing and one thing only
>>98648530>i dunno why wotc made brawlbrawl is 100% just cope from wotc for not being able to put 4man edh in arena and don't let anyone convince you otherwise
>>98648530cBrawl is basically a split format aimed at LARPers that insist the game is more balanced when you make all the ultra miserable shit legal (spoiler: it's not).
>>98648539But why? What are they hoping to achieve, that's what I don't getIt's like if they introduced a brand new format, called it "Commoner" and only allowed you to play commons... including shit like Sinkhole and fucking Treasure Cruise
Powerful or tard bait?
>>98648561Tard bait much like Primeval Titan
>>98648561Very powerful. Will be a target for removal. You won't see it much because of the color pips.
>>98648561Amazing for fight strategies, but I'd definitely put it more on the timmy side of things. Doesn't do anything when it hits the board, no haste, no prepackaged way to damage it, doesn't even have trample, so on and so forth.
>>98648561both
>>98648556>Make MTGO 4000 years ago>Add 100000 cards and rules interactions but never update UI>Decide to make better game that can run on a cell phone>Don't want to program 100000 cards>Don't want people to trade, only buy>Don't want to run MTGO anymore>Let some other company have it>Oh sure they can keep the fag multiplayer stuff no one cards>Now its the popular format>Need to program 100000 cards into our cell phone game>Have contract with Daybreak for MTGOIts because that can't / its hard
>>98648561>turn 2-4 in a mono green deck>no blocks? 6 damage, no bad>oh it has vigilance so now clap-back has real consequences>removing it with burn is a no-go>will bait out targeted exile and boardwipes if it's giving you lots of land or preventing others from attacking youI can see it being good to amazing.
>>98648579This. At least in Commander it's going to be a literacy check unless you're shuffling damage on to it intentionally.
>>98648561You can play it alongside that Legendary ship from EOE that nukes something for 100 damage, and do a lot of funnyBut if you manage to have a 4g removalbait stick alongside a super expensive ship and then you manage to fully crew said ship, you could've probably won already in less funny ways>>98648585I guess soI know the Arena team is made up of rejects, considering the kinda shit they put out in Alchemy (*cough* NASHI *cough*)But fuck me they're dumbRegardless, I vill build the doggo and I vill regret it
>>98648579I removed Doubling Season from one of my decks for this exact reason. It acted as expensive removal bait instead of any kind of help.>>98648595My thoughts exactly, if there were any kind of deck these two would play well together in besides boring mono-green mana machines.
not sure if I should replace raffine or just add denzel to the deck
>>98648626Will this go back up in price?
>>98646533This is the most retarded thing ever.
>>98648288Nah, its fun.
>>98648648Would
>>98648648...do you have a gobbo-monk
>>98648640I feel they justified it well enough by basically making the win Zendikar's, not the planeswalkers. Nissa is linked to the living heart of the entire plane, and Zendikar is repeatedly noted to have formidable strength to its mana. It's a once in a lifetime victory that cannot be replicated even by the same characters so long as they're on any other world. Nissa is Zendikar's strongest soldier and Zendikar is the multiverse's strongest plane. So there and only there, she is the winner of all fights by default. Even against gods and abominations.
>>98648660Not presently.
>>98648639Did you know its possible to have this card in your deck and not draw it for 50 games in a row? I didn't know that when I bought it.
>>98648639denzel probably wants more aggressive cards
>>98648669Where's the preggo Goblin that's a proxy of Goblin Matron? You're failing me here
>>98648686I'm not into preggo.
>>98648671Kek
>>98648667It's not justified at all and is absurdly stupid. It's a good reason why I prefer UB and couldn't care less about MTGs lore. Most UB properties are better written.
>>98648696Tis' a shame but to each his own
>these creatures eat planes>well THIS plane fought back!Shit writing
>>98648622>I removed Doubling Season from one of my decks for this exact reason. It acted as expensive removal bait instead of any kind of help.But that's good. If it sticks around probably got your mana's worth. It's about risk reward. If you're deck doesn't do enough stuff with Doubling Season to make it worth it then it's your decks fault not Doubling Season. Caged Sun is another card like that. It's a removal magnet, but if you untap with it in the right deck it makes a huge difference.
>Finally arrived after 3 weeks>Not even what I ordered THANKS CHANG
>>98648738AND they look bad.
>>98648738>Wanted to order some 4/4 elemental proxies for my hylda deck because real ones are expensive>out of stockhow the fuck are you chinks out of stock turn the fucking printer on
>>98648700>It's not justified at allExplain your reasoning. Nissa got connected to Zendikar well before the battle. Jace got explained what the Eldrazi were and how they behave and created a logical extrapolation about what to do about it.
>>98648671I had Time Warp in a deck never drew it once and when I gave the deck to a friend to use he got it and gave the extra turn to another player
>>98648742The one I ordered is cute, fuck you
>>98648755>>98648742>>98648738I like both
>>98648753>Time Warp instead of Temporal ManipulationAn unwise choice to begin with.
>>98648747how about you buy your own printer poorfag lmao
>>98648780Because those type of printers are expensive.
>>98648780
Anyone built this guy before and have any tips or suggestions?
>>98648811https://moxfield.com/decks/YBB0nYKECECd2NcYFrOhHAI built him back when the monster hunter SL was announced, I focused on making as many land creatures as possible since that way you could have a big board without losing all your creatures
>>98648626Raffine still works differently enough that I would keep him.
>>98648626Denzilore and his clocktower
>>98648570anon you're never going to convince anyone Prime Time isn't still retard strong
>>98648976Strong enough to be a GC just like rhystic and co.
>>98648980Rhystic should also be banned, and Gavin should be much more aggressive with bans
>>98648976I agree it should be unbanned
Anyone have a Mothman list they made that didnt start with the precon? I just have the SL and want to make him, but literally every list I look at is just precon with 10 cards changed.
>>98648997On the contrary gavin should be more aggressive with taking off cards from the banlist and making them GCs so that not only does wotc get their bag the distinction between b2 and b3 becomes more distinct and if you dont like said cards you can just go to b2 where they are banned anyway
>>98648910Nice yeah I was thinking that might be good. I see you have Liege of the Tangle, that was one that really caught my eye. Also might include most of the Kamahl cards, they might work well too.You have a lot of sacrifice effects but you don't have many Murder type cards, any reason for that?
>cast Finale of Glory for x=10>get a bunch of 2/2s and 4/4s>next turn, cast Akroma's Memorial and Humility>everyone is completely neutralized on their boards, meanwhile I have my little 1/1 flyers with vigilance>proceed to kill everyone off in a few turns since nobody drew any removalStill one of my favorite cards, bros.
Why is this bulk rare trash over $30?
>>98649037>cast Akroma's Memorial and Humilityin that order?
>>98649031https://archidekt.com/decks/11273643/mothman_tribalIts not amazing by any stretch.
>>98649046Because it's really good.
>>98648980>>98649009Yup. It should come off right away along with Sylvan Primordial, Iona, Zesty Elf, Karakas, Leovold, Library, Man Crypt, Nadu, Paradox Engine, Prohet of Kriphix, Recurring Nightmare and Sundering Titan.
>>98649054Primordial should come off, yes.
>>98649054Your RL zesty elf is never coming off that list
>>98649050It's a 7 cost Artifact that does nothing unless you control a creature.
>>98649048Looks pretty stacked. Appreciate it. I am mostly looking for builds to peep and get ideas from.
>>98649062And wins me the game.
>>98649062>Guy tramped to death by creatures
>>98649047No but good point.
>>98649054Man CryptCrypt of Man
>>98649059>
>>98649046The number of people playing Coomander is now so much larger than the number of people actually opening sets (and also compared to card populations) that everything even slightly playable is expensive now.This is what going mainstream looks like, congratulations.
>>98649062gosh if only there was a way to make creatures
>>98649062even with Tinker banned there's still bunch of ways to cheat it into play cheaper
>>98648086
>>98648660
>>98649111you should probably re-read the UBslop more carefully
>>98648976Correct, because anyone that doesn't already understand this is too stupid to convince.
>>98649126based Gobbo anon
>>98649126Cringe
>>98649134you should probably re-read the UBslop more carefully
>>98649046Colorless artifact that gives haste
>>98648980Anon, do you pay the one?
>>98649126pedophile
>>98649155ok explain to me how the man in a hoodie prevents an opponent from forcing you to sacrifice Progenitus
>>98648561>turns lightning bolt into the best ramp spell in the game.It’s pretty good.
>>98649195Nothing wrong with being a pedophile ...
>>98649062So? It gives flying haste and vigilance, which are arguably the top three keywords for an aggro strategy. Doesn't matter if no creatures are up, they get haste when you caste them. The protection is just a cherry on top. It also allows you to put it in any color.
>>98649195it's not a loli Gob wish it was but it ain't
>>98649155the thing causing you to sac is usually not an effect you control so Master does jack shit>>98649111with ygra on the field you still can't sacrifice food to pay for ward so you just can't target them period with normal spells?
>>98649195This may come as a shock to you, but goblins are not children.
>>98649333trips of truth, goblins come out the womb at age 18
>>98649195/edhg/ is a pro-ephebophilia general, please take your moralfaggery elsewhere
>>98649257Surely Flame Rift is better.
>>98649326the Ward trigger is a cost you can choose to pay (or not), so I don't think Sigarda et al stop it.
>>98649350explain how
>>98649155>>98649363The Ward ability controlled by the source's controller, not the player who can choose whether or not to pay it. But the fact that you're wrong isn't even relevant--the real question is how you intend to create a token copy of Progenitus in the first place.
>>98649379That's the easy part. Make a copy from the graveyard then populate.I agree that the master isn't useful and that anon just screenshotted a row of cards from sf

>>98649036>but you don't have many Murder type cards, any reason for that?Murders are great when you only need to hit one thing in a 1v1, but in a 4p game you're basically going down a card in hand for one kill, helping your opponents too since now they don't have to worry about you pointing the murder at them. But with an edict creature, you kill 3 creatures for the price of 1, and when your commander wants as many things dying as possible, throwing down a 2 drop and kill 3 things is kind of huge for getting him big quickly. Sarulf WILL draw removal pretty fast once you start nuking stuff so you want to make sure that you keep everyone else's board clear of stuff in case you lose him

>>98646384Yes. Chandra and Nissa played Two Headed Giant and cast the Channel Fireball Combo.
>>98646533Emrakul sealed herself in the moon of innistraad for her own reasons. She mind controlled Tamiyo, rewrote the scroll of amageddon she carried to be a scroll of sealing, and forced her to cast it.
>>98649046Because of shenanigans

Am I overthinking these guys?
Do you pronounce it "frample" or "flample?"I guess "both (horrible fake Japanese accent)" is a valid answer.
>>98649817Depends on what your deck is trying to do. If it’s mainly equipment focused, cut Sephiroth. If you’re doing whacky token bullshit, cut cloud. It really depends on what you’re trying to do, since presumably cloud isn’t your commander and Sephiroth actually has more bang for your buck and can bring himself back from the graveyard (hell you can mill him and bring him on the battlefield for only 3)
>>98649809>can be killed by a fireball and a single planeThey canonically are shitters below Bolas in power.
>>98649712Control yourself, anon. With limitations breed creativity. Concentrate on 1-3 decks to be good, and use leftover trash to build other decks. Only buy cards/packs with a set budget and hold youtself to it. Only buy cards you that are expensive staples, cheap staples on the way up, or reserved list cards. Trade junk for what I just said you should buy. Get good at trading and make a trade binder. I did this as a broke college student back in 2009, and now I have a collection worth over 30k, and that's after taking a 11 year break. Play the long game and keep to those rules and you will slowly have an awesome collection. Concentrate your budget on getting a house, car, career and being debt free, then you can spend your disposable income on cards.
>>98649857>With limitations breed creativity.This is a meme
>>98649859Not really. Get comfortable with making janky bracket 1-2 meme decks and then slowly finding ways to bring them up a bracket without expensive cards. Even if you don't do it, you'll enjoy the journey along the way. Everyone should have some bracket 1-2 decks to play with.
why does dragon throne of tarkir cost 9 mana
>>98649857Thanks for the advice. I’m heavily limiting what I buy for the next few months solely because it’s the holiday season soon and don’t want to be caught lacking with presents this year, and I feel that I can upgrade my current decks via trading rather than buy. My emmara token deck is surprisingly very strong after only spending thirty bucks on upgrades and several trades
>>98649859>This is a memeProxyfags would never understand because they are not creative people.
>>98649844It's developed a heavy equipment slant because outside of meme-commander decks that's all RW is really good for these days, but my goal is just to have interesting games and I just don't know how entertaining either of them are. There's some silly plays I can potentially do with either, but both seem like win-more cards and I don't really have the luxury to run cards like that.
>>98649854>it took an entire plane’s wrath, Magic: The Gathering’s The Avengers (tm), and deus ex machina to kill mere avatarsWow, complete shitters
Commander should use a point system and divide brackets based on that.>0>10>25>50>100>InfiniteThe anchor point is the OG Moxen are 20 points each. Many staple cards like fetches, Swords, Counterspell, etc. receive small point values of 1-2 points giving player incentive to look for nicher cards without making staples inaccessible. No more soft rules. Either you meet the point total or you're playing a different bracket.The only problem is that the average Commander player is so retarded that doing basic addition to see if their deck is legal would be like asking them to learn another language.
>>98649943Just simulate ten 5 turn games-if your board isn’t viable at least 60% of the time, its bracket 2.
>>98649933Meanwhile it took all the planeswalkers to just imprison bolasand all the planes to defeat the Phyrexians
>>98649973Actually it took Elesh Norn being the only one with the wifi password to defeat them.

>>98650229Okay.

>>98650288Just gain life on other people's turns lad. It's not that hard.
just errata every single triggered ability in the game to 1/turn
>>98650318Yugioh has been doing this with every single card release of the past decade and it has done fuckall to stymie the powercreep
>>98646905I would have loved a block that was just God-Pharaoh Bolas, Emrakul, and Phyrexia throwing down with each other while the Jacetice League just tries to avoid becoming collateral damage.
>>98640503Because centered text is superior to left aligned text is superior to right aligned text. I think that centered text should be the norm and only cards that have relevant keywords and abilities you need to know on the battlefield should be left aligned. Yes I wish the Future Sight frame should be the norm and it's a shame we don't get to live in that world. >:C>>98640502Glad you like them! Mine came in yesterday as well, I need to buy a new deck box just for them because the one I had ready for it is just too small.
>>98640502So much for caring about spacing.
>>98650403Are you referring to the Godzilla card? Yeah I wish MSE had a more fine tuned way of editing that text box on SL frames but I kind of had to cram it in there to make that art fit. I'm going to use the normal frame one myself I think.
>>98650413What did you use to make these?
How fast is this for an aggro turbo?
>>98650462Too fast.
>>98650462>>98650466My bad
>>98650471Not unplayable
>>98650456Magic Set Editor, Gimp, and the occasional assistance from AI for the bleed area and some of the art itself. I find the ease in which is did that custom Miku card back very game changing, makes me want to do a Fallout deck again but with the cards genuinely having Tragic: The Garnering on the back. But definitely with far less showcase frames this time.
Should your LGS keep track of cheevos?
>>98650476Any tips?
>>98650480On what exactly? Inspiration? Base usage of MSE? I've been messing around with it since I was a teenager first getting into this game so I don't really not know what to do anymore. Other than use left aligned text. :^)I can say one thing I learned from this deck is to turn up the brightness on the pictures sometimes, the art on this one in particular ended up very dark in real life.

>pays his own commander tax
>>98650533interesting but gruul is the worst color combo, especially for an artifact theme
>>98650536Gruul artifact is really underrated. Roxanne, Meria, Kibo, Svella, Jolene, to name some.
>>98650536>comboThat beast is going to pump himself with double strike and one-shot players one by one.
>>98650401I agree for when a card is a single line at most, when a text box gets wordy, it just looks weird being as curvy as the women I put on cards.
An anon on another mtg thread mentioned wanting Wheel of Time UB. Does this seem fine? Was trying to go for a Jodah-style "assemble your heroes" kinda dude.
>>98650574I enjoy that matching symmetry very much so actually but to each his own. I feel it works with a couple small lines up to one medium text box, especially when the art is also symmetrical. When the ability is rather complex and needs additional player attention, or it just plain matches with the frame or quote better that way, then I prioritize the left.
>>98650533Are people gonna also complain about this dude 'dodging' commander tax just like Yuriko
is there any way to make Chandra work in commander or is she destined to be just not great in the format/only good outside of the command zone
everyone including your mom wants you to kill yourself you know who you are
>>98650624Jace is getting his dick sucked SO hard right now compared to every other Planeswalker, you might as well pray they invent Empower Chandra cards in the future alongside your wish for her to ever be a Commander.
>>98640502>>98650595>Arcane Signet using that arcane ass chibi Miku meme>Windswept Heath featuring art from Heath >Skullclamp featuring art from Mugen no Yami animated by CLAMP
>>98650575There's an absurdly high bar with him but also a rather low floor that leads to a pretty bad snowball effect. Even if it's only the top 5 the turn after you cast him, being able to just drop the eldrazi titans and any planeswalker you want for free is pretty ridiculous. Jodah is tempered by ensuring you can't scale up from whatever you cast and also only gives you one card per cast. This guy doesn't have those restrictions. Honestly, this is probably just one of those kill on sight commanders, which is never a fun experience.
>>98650642Heh, yeah it helps when you have over 20 years of user made content the subject was literally encouraging people to make for all these years to choose from. Like this one, I had no idea anyone out there in the Vocaloid community held the name Kodama but there it was. And then it gets to easily lead me into a song with a quote because that's what the art was once used for, it all comes together in the end.
>>98650641Yea, ive only been playing for maybe two months now. Its fun, I was hoping fractures chandra would be a double sided so i could keep playing izzit. Mono blue seems like it would be better than mono red, but i dont like the idea of a mono color commander. Oh well, your suggestion is honestly my only hope. Maybe we'll get a fusion of them both in the future.
>>98650646Ah, hmm. In that case, how about something like "You may exile any number of legendary permanents from among them and play them for as long as they remain exiled." So you still have to pay costs
>>98650462>>98650471One of the better infect commander in wiping the whole table at once.

>>98650786You think that's bad? My favourite planeswalker isn't even a fucking planeswalker anymore
>>98650786I get the feeling you deserve that
>>98650787this card is horrible lol did it just get scalped because of empower jace?
Can he be bracket 3 or is voltron inherently 4?
>>98646832I hate trans people and Jace
>>98650817Yup, hopefully it settles back to the low 20's because I'd like to pull off that meme once, but yeah scalpers love to spike old cards by hundreds of times their price they sat at for years. Meanwhile pic related doesn't have an easily scalpable printing so it hasn't really moved despite being much better and working with the mechanic.
>>98650818>”voltron inherently 4”>says this after picking the worst Voltron commander that draws cards for your opponentI think you’re retarded anon, there are much better picks.
>>98650837Do you not have a phone?
>>98650818Just play him as spellslinger with combat tricks and instant protections.
>>98650837>kill opponent on turn fourYes that is bracket 4 even if your commander is a vanilla 0/1.
>>98650844yes and you kill someone on turn 4 which makes someone at the table go red faced and yell at you because you're not supposed to be able to kill someone until turn 7 in low brackets
>>98650847Just don't kill them on turn four then idiot.
>>98650859>Voltron deck that just sits there until turn 8 where it then takes three turns to kill the table>Meanwhile the combo deck killed the entire table on turn 8

>>98650981Now it's perfect.
>>98650671It's definitely more balanced, but I feel like it's a bit harder to judge the effect there. Potentially insane card advantage, and great for filtering your deck, but he doesn't really do anything else immediately? I'm not sure how to rate it honestly

>>98651074>$1255there's like a 5 card overlap
>>98651061Like i said, I'm honestly not sure how to rate this. He's kind of like dragonhawk in terms of card advantage, except they just stick around forever, but don't provide any other benefit. He's expensive too, but it's repeatable and there's a lot of strategies you can do with him. I also don't know this character so i don't know how accurate the flavor is. Also get rid of the flavor text, it's just making the card needlessly hard to read

>>98652440it's retarded, but they should have gone full retard with it, with empower liliana, garruk, etc
>>98652466I would've hated it less if they had done that and it wasn't tokens only with attached token creation
>>98652440It would have been hard to make a set mechanic worse than battles, but by god they did it.
>>98652440Whenever I'm working on something I have a stupid design rule that comes from MTG that I call the "Behold a Dragon" test."Behold..." is the single stupidest viable mechanic in Magic the Gathering; it's literally pointing at or showing your opponent something and doing a onions-face; but it is a WORKING mechanic. You can transfer it to other sets by changing what you 'behold', it indicates what it does and can be explained intuitively. While some mechanics are cool, "Behold..." is about the limit to how stupid a mechanic can be while still being good design. Examples of mechanics that fail this are Venture into the Dungeon and The Ring Tempts You; they are parasitic and require big ass reminders to teach and refer to. I can kinda give them a small pass for being thematic and interesting as experiments.Empower Jace fails far worse in that it basically requires a bespoke planeswalker token, it produces ambiguity (Jace Planeswalkers already produced other kinds of token Jaces, do these qualify as Jace tokens?) and it is viciously parasitic to a single MTG character (I'm sick of saying Jace by now). Are we going to Empower Bolas or Empower Chandra in another set? Are we looking forward to having a wall of reminder text to tell us what those tokens have?Unless build-a-bear planeswalker turns out to be really cool shit when we actually play it, this is going to just be combo fodder with design that can't even be moved to new sets without making it even MORE of the JACE SHOW ft. Magic The Gathering
>>98652466Yea, this. Im sure ther is a card that says something like- if you control X ammount of jaces do some bullshit, or if you have a total of X loyalty points also do some BS
WHERE IS SHE

>>98652491yeah just like dack fayden amirite
>>98652440I just don't like that it's Jace. A named character. I'd have preferred even if it functioned exactly the same but it was called something like " gather multiversal energies" and the card was a generic faceless Planeswalker.
>>98652482Killing Jace is meant to be symbolic of how WotC is killing old MtG and replacing it with something new: A UB showcase.

>>98652735wow, another rare that is just god awful. even if you could cast it without the threshold it would be unplayable
>>98652752BRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
>>98652814>kykar but bad so you can't combo without haste enabler>removal but slowwhat the fuck is up with the powerlevel of this set?
>>98652992They're trying to cram the highest rate of sets into a longer standard window and they already made standard a high power format early into the rotation so now we just get random filler trash. Thank god we have to keep sales growing exponentially.
>>98652922He lost you nigger
>>98652871What a piece of shit trash
I thought this set was going to be monsters and characters colour flipped from across the planes but it’s just planeswalkers and strixhavenCan’t believe I’m actually going to be skipping this set. It sounded so good on paper
is this the best dwarf commander ?
>>98652477I like the idea of build a bear planeswalker, like The Aetherspark, that set that gave you an enchantment that could give a planeswalker new powers and Luxior, Giada's Gift really create fun design spaces for that type of card, but fuck me if amass Jace is almost as bad as day night on keeping track of shit. I appreciate them trying new things but this fucking ain't it, boss
>>98652548A Gideon card in the big 2026? The fuck? My GOAT represented?
>>98653133We've so far gotten flipped non-PW characters from>Ravnica>Innistrad>Duskmourn>Dominaria>Ixalanbut yes also it's basically just the second set in SOS block now with oops all Jace so I'm pretty disappointed
>>98653148Subjectively, I don't agree. I think pic rel is better over all as she can easily fill your hand of dwarves.Objectively? I think Magda is still the top dwarf commander.
The jace being phyrexian couldve been a huge pay off. Emrakul being the multiverse garbage disposal is lame. I was hoping for a new titan or villain, not ‘we made jace trans’I made this while shitting
>>98653148no, that would be Magda, Brazen Outlaw
>>98653324NEW NEW NEW
>>98647753eh, there's more nuance than that. if you have any experience playing ACTUAL magic there's many decks that have a build-around card that is in some cases even more central than many EDH commanders. boros auras in Historic is literally more of a lightpaws EDH deck than actual EDH decks are, or Legacy Stiflenaught, or Neobrand, you can make a deck reliant on a single card as long as forcing opponent's to answer it or lose on the spot is a worthwhile enough strategy, or you can protect it past removal or be able to pivot with sideboarding in games 2 and 3 to a plan B that works alongside your plan A in case your main plan fails. Pre-nerf Companion was literally the strongest mechanic ever printed in the game's history and it was just letting people LARP a commander in Constructed, and even with 3 mana tax Lurrus is still played a lot in the formats it's legal.
>>98648561this card isn't actually Timmy card, it's a Johnny combo piece where you win the game on the spot if it resolves. You are never swinging for damage with this, it's ANY land so you're going to Manamorphose and Pyretic Ritual this shit into a Valakut/Field of the Dead/Maze's End combo victory
>>98653370It's a LARPer that thinks he's good for beating up Timmy but he's too scared to take these "skills" beyond that scope where his play pattern stops working.
>>98646832It's a way of sabotaging the set to justify printing more UB.>well we gave you a whole in-universe set with all your favorite characters! if you really wanted it you'd buy it regardless of the fact we stapled the same shitty planeswalker effect onto half the cards!
>>98652877It's just cantrip storm
>>98652634It's a fucking Avatar reference
>>98652479This but for meIf they cut the fucking Empower Jace bullshit and focused a little less on Hexhaven we could have had a bunch of fun colorshifts. Instead this set feels like it's trying to do too many things at once, really makes you miss set blocks
>>98652440Deliberate set sabotage so they can kill in-universe sets once and for all
>>98652023In case you have forgotten you live in 2026, we all know someone who can read all languages now
>>98655315I simply forgot is all
>>98655465Mana pips need work
>>98655478Taken to heart
>>98655465I am a supporter of the autistic arts. Use these if you want. The blue one was difficult and maybe a bit over-designed, but I couldn't come up with anything better
>>98651061Should he really have the dragon creature type considering that in the WoT universe "dragon reborn" means something completely different?
>>98652356Why the fuck does every fucking card empower Jace? It's like they just threw it in whenever they were designing top-down and couldn't think of anything else for the card to do
>>98655780See >>98655307 >>98654965
>>98655780It’s actually kind of based, it’s like the wotc design team is saying “you legacy niggers that don’t buy new product are obsessed with Jace huh? Well here’s more Jace than you can handle you stupid fuckwits.” Knowing that none of you will buy it and UB will continue to reign supreme in Hasbro board meetings.
