I avoid my LGS and only play with my friends.

The kid starts crying if anyone uses interaction or removal against his cards, or if he loses. Never again am I going back to witness or take part in this.

Only kitchen table with my bros at my house now. Everyone just has a good time and no one gets butthurt if someone wins or uses removal.

I'm too much of a beta
I once avoided playing my Ashling Flame Dancer deck because when I showed it to some guy I'd never played against before he kept telling me that it would be too crazy for the magecraft trigger to always give you draw and discard, and what it means is you only get that the first time it triggers.

So fucking annoying. First of all it doesn't say "instead" or anything similar, and secondly, having played the deck dozens of times the draw discard is actually very fucking annoying when I only have 1 or 2 cards in hand so it isn't always upside.
This was before the new Strixhaven which is a shame because I think Opus would have been a good comparator as more of those have "instead" than Magecraft
>>
>>98696024
Not at all my point. I'm saying if I wanted to play competitive magic I would play a real actual format that is suited for it with sideboards and bo3 instead of whatever commander is at this point.

The problem is in a 1v1 format with both decks designed to minimize their own randomness, the deciding factor (at least in a best of 3) is who makes the fewest mistakes during the game.
Bad luck can be a factor, but over 3 games if you have bad luck each time (or I guess worst case scenario just 2 games) then your deckbuilding was flawed. It's 1v1 so the only person who can be advantaged by a mistake is the 1 opponent.

But in a best of 1 with players 1v1v1v1, turn order is a massive problem, but also the fact that some effects negatively impact some match ups more than others. When a player makes a mistake it may also unequally advantage other players at the table. Add to this that it's best of 1 and therefore not minimizing random chance
It's a joke of a format and the only people who take it seriously are people who can't compete in 1v1s and want to feel like big fish in small ponds

Objectively not because he built a deck to be as consistent as possible. If he's as good as he's supposed to be then the randomness is minimal. In competitive Magic players are rarely ever losing because they bricked.
Someone who has never played Magic before isn't winning a pro tournament- they're probably not even winning a single game, but someone who has never played poker before can and will win hands against "pros"

Anything can be played with a competitive mindset if you're a big enough faggot. You could play competitive "guess the card" in a 52 card deck if you're good at card counting, it still doesn't mean that your wins are down to skill. There is a chance of calling the right card first try, and your chances of calling the right card go up the fewer cards are left in the deck if you're keeping track, but it's still fucking random chance.
>>
>>98696177
>only a 25% chance of doing so

I genuinely don't know how you think this is a good argument

The point being made to you is that poker is gambling because too much of it comes down to random chance, whereas Magic has so many features that mitigate random chance and ways for players to influence the game itself that make it a strategic game of skill.

You saying
>w-well there's randomness in opening packs because cards are worth money therefore the whole thing is gambling
is perhaps the single most retarded fucking thing I've ever heard. The secondary market has fucking nothing to do with how the game is played.

Your wins come down to random chance in competitive commander because players can take game actions that unequally advantage/disadvantage other players around the table.
There is no way around this. Turn order, deck matchups, the best of 1 format.

You can accept this and be grateful when you win, or you can delude yourself and pretend you won by pure skill. Either way we all know you couldn't compete in 1v1 so you chose baby-mode

Sure, right here.
I said poker is gambling because due to random chance a player who has no idea what they're doing can beat a pro: >>98696096

And you replied by saying some nobody could beat a pro in Magic if they got lucky (still not true by the way) and then started rambling that tcgs "get away with gambling" by not acknowledging the secondary market: >>98696150

So I said poker is gambling for the reason stated by example, you then said that my example also applied to Magic, ergo (presumably) you are saying Magic is also gambling, because the next thing you say is that it's only NOT considered gambling because of some kind of loophole.
How else did you want that to be read?

And while we're here by the way. I know your knowledge of law only comes from TV so you think you have to physically pay an attorney a dollar to have privilege, and if you say "allegedly" in front of any statement you'll get off scot-free and whatever the fuck else, but I assure you no government in the fucking world lets companies themselves determine whether or not they provide gambling based on what the company publicly acknowledges to be true. Gambling in law has more to do with what governments choose to regulate. Regulators do not care that the contents of a pack of cards or randomized, nor do they care about mystery prize toys or arcade games. It's not because there's some magic trick to play the black letter of the law, it's because the law does not care to regulate those things.

It's swordtard by a pretty wide margin. That man was an actual fucking narcissistic autist kind of like Chris Chan. He truly fucking believed that simply being present and posting his decks generated conversation and therefore was a net positive contribution to the threads and justified him tripfagging.
He would samefag, he would play his own defense force whenever people told him to fuck off, and he would post the same fucking 200 card decklists constantly and be like "I don't know what to cut! :( " when he had the same fucking shitty $1000 cards that didn't advance his game plan in any fucking way and which he had been told repeatedly should be cut.

I'm genuinely getting worked up just remembering him. Much worse than some faggot proxy coomer. For now anyway.

Green - Whenever you cast a permanent spell, copy it twice and the copy is not legendary

Law courts are not fae courts. Despite pop-culture depictions there is in fact no verbal trick you can play where the right string of words or absence there of makes something what it isn't.
Cracking packs isn't gambling because the law says it isn't gambling, you got that part right in your first fucking sentence. This retarded bullshit of somehow it would magically become gambling if they acknowledged the secondary market is completely made up by you.

Because the definition of a lottery has nothing to do with whether the person running a lottery acknowledges it as one.
Lotteries, and gambling as a whole- really not sure why you suddenly wanted to make this about lotteries specifically- is defined by a set of criteria and not your fucking acknowledgement of those criteria.

Do you also think a crime is not a crime if you just choose not to acknowledge it? Are you a sovereign citizen? Do you think speeding in a vehicle is simply lawfully traversing in your land-boat and the cops and the courts have wrongfully convicted you of a crime?

There is a reputational risk and not a legal one. No one wants to talk about how the sausage is made. You can create chase cards and 001/001s, you can print cards at higher rarities and even tell your customers how many of each rarity is in a pack so they can do the odds of there chances of pulling something on their own- but when you acknowledge that you're aware of the value of your cards you open a dialogue about your business practices. That is a dialogue WotC doesn't want to fucking have because it is wildly anti-consumer

That's it anon. It's just not a PR move in WotC's interest to make.
I'm genuinely astounded that you made all this bullshit up about the law- which you could easily fucking look up and understand properly if you wanted to by the way- just because you didn't understand a business decision but wanted to feel like you DID understand it. Absolutely wild man.

i 100% assure you that reputational risk is the least of wotc's worries about their product being stereotyped as a game for trannies and mentally disabled autists
your fundamental flaw is your inability to accept that certain words / not speaking about certain things do in fact save you from legal repercussions, perhaps actually read up the legal definition of gambling before you kvetch any further

R&D has been moving in the opposite direction. Thoughtseize effects are getting weaker, not stronger. Their standard has moved up from 2 mana to 3 for an unconditional Thoughtseize, and the 2 mana ones are receiving restrictions on what they can take. I don't see that being very likely. It would be like expecting WotC to print Swords to Plowshares that exiles 3 creatures of your choice without targeting.

I don't see it happening since it's the same idea of taking one of the strongest interaction pieces ever printed, then powercreeping it just for the sake of filling a perceived niche in a 4p format. That's a rather dangerous road to start treading and it's pretty clear WotC knows this when cards like Grasp of Fate and Soul Shatter sit pretty firmly at 3 mana which is a threshold that some boardwipes are at (e.g. Temporary Lockdown). You'd be looking at a card that's 4 mana at a minimum, likely 5 just as a tax to discourage people from slotting it without a strong plan behind it and wasting tons of time deciding what to take (since I think we can both agree the average EDH player has intelligence lower than a cabbage). At that point you can just run some stupid Thought Distortion or Wit's End combo.

Holy fuck you can't actually be this stupid.
You said that cards magically become gambling if a company acknowledges the secondary market. MLB acknowledged the secondary market in that case but it still wasn't classified as gambling. Your theory is immediately disproven
The reason it is not gambling is because the way the law treats it is literally as buying cardboard. The company has cardboard to sell, you buy it.
In gambling you do not purchase something for value, you put money up for the chance to win money or money equivalent. Because you are literally buying cardboard in the eyes of the law, you are getting more than simply the chance to obtain value. Even if the cardboard you get isn't worth shit, you still own carboard instead of nothing.
The company's acknowledgement of the secondary market value of that cardboard is irrelevant unless they hold out that you WILL get cardboard of a specific monetary value when in fact you may not.

That is as simple as I can make this fucking case for you.
>>
>>98696643
green is doing fine right now in cedh believe it or not, it's never been stronger

black is currently gimped by cards being ante (contract) and reserved list (yawgmoth's bargain) and a pussyass design philosophy (can't thoughtseize people!), that's why black in cedh is very limited and is just

obviously everyone knows the secondary market exists, the whole point though is that on official marketing wotc makes no mention of it to the point that they even ban ante (!) despite not making any declaration that certain cards are worth more than others - only that certain cards are *more rare* than others - and yet again you still cannot wrap your head around the fact that defining things in certain ways does in fact save you from the law

Made a bunch of last-minute tweaks that aren't reflected in this list. Traded for an Urza that gave the deck a pretty notable power boost, all that said I didn't get to play much.

A late start and game 1 was exceptionally poor. An uncontested turn 1 Sol Ring from a Hakbal player led to him snowballing. Punted a few things in my attempts at dealing with his merfolk, and rather than let me swing in so I could trigger cipher off Stolen Identity to get the mana to improvise a Cyclonic Rift vs. the deterministic lethal on the Hakbal player's board, the naya elfball player decided to greed and chump blocked. So before passing I 2-mana Cyc-rifted his Chulane to hand and we all died.

The deck gets a bit more engine-y than I would like, and the Descendants' Fury stuff might eat a cut despite being cute.

They could still do this as long as they did not make promises of you getting $60 of value from a pack when you may not.
I seriously do not get how you don't understand this.

Again. The distinction between packs of cards and gambling is that with cards you are purchasing game pieces and wiih gambling you are purchasing only the opportunity to win money or a priize.
It does not fucking matter that the cards are randomized, it does not fucking matter that the cards have different values on the secondary market, and it does not fucking matter whether the company behind it acknowledges values on the secondary market

All. that. fucking. matters. is whether you bought cardboard or not.
Can I make this any clearer for you? Seriously.

Gambling:
>money in
>win: get money or prize
>lose: get nothing

Card packs
>money in

>All. that. fucking. matters. is whether you bought cardboard or not.
incorrect yet again
what matters is
>are there pure wagers (the stake); your entry fee becomes it when you consider full proxy cedh tournaments running around
>how luck-based is your supposed 'game' (the outcome)
>what exactly is the prize?
it's also not a coincidence that tcgs will never ever give cash payout as a prize for a very very good reason
>>
>>98696775
>and yet they don't, funny how wotc never has and never will do that
Because it is bad PR to admit that you design cards to be powerful, make them exceedingly rare, in the hopes that it motivates people to crack packs, yeah.
Funnily enough announcing "hey guys we're manipulating you!" is something companies don't like doing even when we all know they are manipulating customers.
You don't see candy companies crowing about how they're putting less chocolate in a chocolate bar while the price actually goes up, and yet we all know they're doing it, it's called shrinkflation.

>he's now trying to pivot into discussing tournament prizes when this conversation has been entirely about whether cracking packs is gambling or not

I know. It's a deck I made in 2010 for 1v1 before dual commander was a thing. Slowly upgraded it but barely played it since then.

I looked it up and apparently Dual Commander is now a format with it's own ban list. I guess I have a few cars on it. No worries. It's just a deck I play if I want a quick casual 1v1 game against someone.

Is there a good alternative to using dice for counters? Currently running a prolif deck and tend to make a shitton of them and move them around, so constantly manipulating dice to find the exact next number tends to be annoying and time-consuming and if someone bumps the table or something it's a whole mess of shit trying to get everything back together

I've seen life counter gizmos that have two spinnable digit wheels on them and those would do the trick but they're too bulky to haul a dozen of them around for every game.

I just fucking hate it because it's incredibly one note to play against him with my friend. Every single game he plays 10 billion mana ramps, because every match he gets kodamas, farseek, miraris wake, mana reflection, etc and by turn 4 has 10 billion mana and plays gish.

So every match has basically turned into me mulling until I get removal so I can just kill on sight him. I just think it's super boring and binary and it's literally all he's played for like 2 months.

>>98698123
Could also try playing Fin Fang Foom single target land denial, although that might also make him hella salty

>>98696626
They should make a 1 mana spell that exiles all lands your opponents control. It would honestly be kinda mid because cEDH is all about mana rocks anyway.

there should be a 2 mana spell that destroys lands down to the lands of the player with the least
>>
>>98698152
He doesn't have any land enchantments. I'm about to start running MLD I'm so tired of playing against him like this. We had one match where I got lucky and pulled some artifact removal and blew up all his rocks and he complained non stop he couldn't play with no mana (he had 5)

There's nothing wrong with building around him to do some goofy stuff, but "Dies to Removal" at least usually is a matter of having removal. "Suicides to Targeting" is a serious flaw to work around.

white one looks solid only need some changes and better removal

>>98698558
Yeah I don't see any reprints that stick in my memory as more than $5. I'm sure there's a couple $10 ones in the Angels precon just because even mediocre angels are often around $2 so that's your floor.

I think the blue one is fine, what's weird about it? It's like they hit copy paste on a budget Emry Lurker of the Loch list and put in some splashy beaters for the Timmys

Of them though I think black looks most focused in what it's doing. It stands out to me that it only has zombie tokens and then like a dozen ways to make zombies, so it knows what it's trying to do and just does it

>>

>>
>>98698968
They look pretty underpowered. I build a lot of budget decks and I'd say they're about on par except with some really odd less than desirable choices.
I find that a good measure of a deck's consistency can often be as simple as how many rares it's running. Of course there's always excellent uncommons and commons (especially in green), but yeah the number of rares is a good measure and there's less rares than I would expect in these precons
>>
I didn't know Gisa was that stacked, damn.
>>
>>98698988
I believe they are considered budget / entry level decks which is why they are cheap , but arent anything too crazy like the new Ashling precon
>>
>>98699058
>arent anything too crazy like the new Ashling precon
What do you think was crazy about the Ashling precon??? They completely cheaped out on the lands and didn't even include no-brainer tribal staples.
Ashling is the objective best elemental commander and I still never see anyone playing her. Hell I have the fucking precon and I played it precisely once after trying to upgrade it.

What I'm saying about these monocolor precons is that even for budget there's just some strange choices. Artifacts can actually run pretty cheap because often they're not good unless you're going all in on the card type and can then cast them for free. But there's some includes in there that are just not worth playing, which is odd when they could have put a 10 cent rare in its place
>>
>>98699080
Fair enough, ive seen the Ashling precon absolutely go bonkers mutiple times in my playgroup though, including when i play it. I do see your point though anon, id like to give the zombie one a go because it looks competent for the most part. They have a habit of putting in cards in decks that defentally has you questioning why, like the Sphinx in jaces new deck
>>
>>98697974

>>98698266
nah i think we should just yank seat one's balls more by making them skip first draw.
your idea is silly. seat one just punches seat four in the face to get the draw for themselves, you're literally making seat one even better.
>>
>>98699108
>They have a habit of putting in cards in decks that defentally has you questioning why, like the Sphinx in jaces new deck
Well in that one it's more understandable because the truth of it is that they wanted to colorshift a few more characters than they had space for in the main set.
The real question with that one is what idiot talked the design team into making so many of them 6CMC. It makes it feel like more of a win when you cheat it into play, but goddamn some of them are really not 6 mana worth of stats and effects. Jhoira and Tamiyo in particular are overcosted.

But yeah the simple answer is they wanted to print a bunch of new commanders but only had 1 precon to do it in

It synergizes with sphinxes when there are no other sphinxes in the deck AND has an eminence effect.

Couldn't help retooling the deck now that I've seen it in action. The ramp package has somehow dwindled into even more deranged territory, but with the baseline curve of living weapons so low it feels weird taking an early turn playing a rock vs. playing a living weapon.

Something about the deck is still nagging me structurally, but I'll see after I get a few more games in next week. I'm much happier with this version.

thoughts on this for the same sort of strat?
>>
>>98699745
Ehh, I mean he will let you run every living weapon in one place. But then the rest of your deck is just a colorless equipment heap? I'm not too big a fan, especially when he's six mana to get out.

I vastly prefer the novelty of commander + strategy and going from there. Dalakos and living weapons has a synergy in that he hastes the equipped creatures. But what you do from there is sort of up to you as a brewer. The polymorph subtheme isn't necessary; you could easily just go all-in on flying haste aggro.

I'm sure there are other novel living weapon commanders, though I've sorta latched onto Dalakos. If only because he's like 1500th place on EDHrec.

Honestly a based card, though good luck finding a commander who capitalizes on it AND lets you run more living weapon synergies. Cloud is close. The fact that he draws you a card for each attacking equipped creature is relevant, though he only makes it a 5/5 which isn't very interesting.

Jinnie Fay also makes living weapons work. As does Sephiroth, Fallen Hero. Even this fucking thing has some synergy. Not that any of these help you run Tangleweave Armor.
>>
>>98699889
OH, there's this guy. He would make it a 10/10 and he has blatant artifact synergy. But of course that synergy is ETB: draw card and he's a 5 color pile, making the deck unbelievably slop.
