>>98719661
building marchesa is just building control to keep being the monarch, using her as a vamp tribal commander instead of edgar just to say you're unique enough to not use edgar isn't the way to go
also LOL @ blood moon in this kind of pile it's just bad all around
>>
>>98719661
vampire decks create themselves, honestly, you can put nearly any card in there and be fine.
>marchesa
i think that monarch unironically makes EVERY game more interesting.
everyone (especially lower bracket/skill lvls) wants card draw at any cost, so it becomes contested ballgame where whoever grabs monarch will be targeted next, for the entire game.
>>
>>98719651
That's reasonable! My general suggestion then is non-combo Turbo-Draw ala Matoya, considering Fblthp is a command zone Thoracle (with the neat & fair caveat that you deal combat damage to activate his "show's over chucklenuts" effect)!

They said it's a break if you use in color effects for an off color one. For example you can't do

In this case, it lets you destroy a creature without having creatures on the field in mono g

>>98719827
Anon, what does the first effect of Kamahls Will do?
>>
>>98719836
It turns your lands to creatures
So it's using two in pie effects to get an off color one. Since you didn't have creatures when you cast it

Hmm this one's suspicious. Maybe more like a bend? Since it's choice based. May be a break too
>>
>>98719883
>Since it's choice based.
Giving the player a choice makes it a Browbeat effect, where the option is just to eat the damage or give the Red player what they want. Even if it's out of pie, like drawing three cards.

The other side of the effect has been within Red since Aura Barbs, where Red's enchantment hate tends to simply burn the owner of it.

>>98719890
So is it in pie for red or no?
>>98719891
Wotc has the final say yes. They said black can have it so now it's in pie. Nothing to argue over that. Currently they say what I mentioned earlier. Tomorrow they could change it, but according to their current stance, it's a break for green, no?
>>
>>98719903

>it's a break for green, no?
again no it's not you mentally disabled bastard
>>
>>98719908
It's a nigh-uninteractable, mass counterspell/pseudo extra turn effect that can be cast for as little as UU. Of course the card that singlehandedly shuts down all but the most degenerate decks of an entire fucking archetype is too strong
>>
>>98719941
Why not? You didn't explain why or address my point
>>
>>98719956
you also don't provide any sources of wotc saying that using in color effects to get an off color one is a break you retard
>>
>>98719920
Thank you for justifying why I'm taking it so slow with you. The former is a self-contained effect that is functionally identical to black removal, and thus a colour break. However, the latter is a synergistic pair of cards within a single colour (Blue), which is merely a consequence of the effects within ones colour pie working in tandem. Now, I'm going to give you the simplest possible question I can. What is the difference between the latter case I just mentioned and Kamahls Will?

Following "The classic example of this is a green creature.. "
>https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/making-magic/a-double-take-part-2
Maro saying Body double is a break
Saying they're from 2022 and 2023 won't make an argument, since they haven't commented on this ever since, so it's the current stance
>>98719970
You mean the latter are two separate cards? The difference is Kamahl's is a single card
>>
>>98719997
body double is in practical terms a better zombify one-upping black on something it's supposed to be very good at, imagine if black had this exact same card, hence why it is a break
kamahl's will however asks that the green player
>have a ton of lands, which isn't guaranteed for every green deck as decks like elfball don't ramp using lands
>ask for 4 mana for single target creature removal, which is overcosted
>>
>>98719908
just make it counterable and it's a pretty funny/fairer card.
>>
>>98720022
>and have your commander out too, which is another ask
>>
>>98719997
this maro article is partly about why they will never do planar chaos style cards anymore not that 'in color effects to get an off color one is a break' and why reality fracture doesn't have a green counterspell for GG you idiot
>>
>>98720022
>>98720028
So it's not a break because it's overcosted? I thought that applied only to colorless
Then the snake in Maro's example wouldn't be a break if it cost 8 mana?
>>
>>98720041
will isnt a break because it asks that you have a lot of lands and viper isnt a break because it has deathtouch, things green is known for not colorless

>>98719997
Exactly! Kamahls Will is effectively a two card synergistic pairing on one card. However! Because it requires a commander to perform that synergistic pairing, it mimics the reason why two card synergistic pairings are justified; they require more cards than another colour would! Combined with the fact that both of KWs effects are in-colour, it completely avoids breaking the colour pie! Honestly, it's pretty neat!

So you'd say

maro's wrong on a lot of things, and this is one of them, green has so many deathtouch creatures that it's silly to say that just adding flash (something green is secondary at btw) is an immediate break

i already disagree with him saying viper is a break so naturally i will disagree with him on will, will was printed on commander legends which was led by verhey btw which tells you that maro isn't the be all end all of things
i keep telling you to stop being autistic because you're just too disabled to understand that there are things that are considered beyond the color pie, like why do you think green STILL doesn't have a trample deathtouch creature? you really think the only thing stopping them from printing such a creature because it's a 'break cuz with lure it's a wrath!'?

Maro is the end of all things regarding color pie. You may disagree that he should, but that's a completely different discussion. My question is if according to all logic presented by wotc on the pie, Will is a break. Which you don't seem interested in discussing
>>98720170
Your argument is

It makes 2 snow creatures for yourself, and 3 for your enemies (which it does twice). Unless someone's playing aristocrats most of them are likely to survive without a boardwipe. The floor is a draw 2 since your defenders outstat the opposing creatures, and it's very likely to draw 4 which makes it above-rate compared to Concentrate, and while that would be excusable if it stopped there (it's a saga and a gold card with an out), it sets itself up for a ceiling of draw 6-8 if someone griefs, and because this is Commander that's very often. All 3 designs are a lot like ABU cards in that they have a clear vision for the flavor but gave very little consideration for the emergent gameplay. Turning all basics into snow lands is a disastrous line of text when Break the Ice exists in the same colors.
The first iteration of Calvinball has multiple ways it could be interpreted but all of them are frustrating in the same way as Deadpool because of how much permanent unmarked information you need to start tracking off one card.
The second iteration of Calvinball has a colossal powergap between modes. 1 and 3 are crippling while mode 2 does almost nothing even into GY decks. Consequently all that's ever going to happen is someone chooses mode 2 then passes it back to its owner to force them to pick between the options that actually penalize you. There is no universe you should put modes 1 and 3 on that card for 4 mana, much less a generic artifact.

He needs to develop a multi agent LLM that scours through all possibilities to build a deck with 0% chance of winning before turn 8. In the future he is required to extend the model to input all 4 decks in a game, in the off chance a card from an opponent changes the chance of winning

>>98720286
think its a twofold combo: Whites pie tends to be really good at limited and BO1 (only more relevant since arena). The other part of white's pie tends to be "unfun". WOTC really struggles to make powerful mythics/rares while trying to balance the above.

Great example is reality fracture, there are zero mono-white prepared creatures above common. 1 black mythic, 2 Red rares, 2 Blue rares, and 1 green rare.

WOTC said they tried to make one with a sweeper attached to it, but it was too strong.

>The second is a little harder line, and that's how many turns you can generally expect to play before you can win or lose. That's not to say the game always ends for you on those turns, but that if the game ended then, you would be satisfied with that experience. We heard from a lot of people that length of game is an important factor for them. So, for example, when Bracket 3 says "you should expect to be able to play at least six turns before you win or lose," that means that someone's seventh turn is when you would be satisfied if the game ended.

thats the entire definition of the turn based rule. go ahead and argue against it with your numbers.

i actually agree with it, what i don't agree with is gavin's disapproval of sandbagging
i've heard it all from retards, saying that their combo 'isn't THAT consistent', that their deck 'isn't like other girls, i mean other decks'
but there is no arguing what is 'consistent enough'
is a 5% chance to pop off t6 enough to disqualify it from b3? what about 10%? 15%? 20%? keep in mind that sol ring has an 8% chance to appear in your opener and people already complain about that
the only practical solution is to sandbag the infinite/thoracle until a designated turn X regardless of actual percentage of comboing off or number of pieces involved

your genius lgs solution is to hold a t4 win in your hand for 20 minutes like a dad letting a toddler score a win. sandbagging doesnt make a deck bracket 2 or 3. it just makes you a closet pubstomper whos too chicken to sit at high power pods.
>>
>>98720639
Pestilence was the first thing i thought of
>>
>>98720763
Yes the solution is in fact to slow down the thoracle dcon combo until t7 so their primary advantage (UUB cmc) is drastically nerfed to the point that you wouldnt bother running such cards anymore that are awful by themselves anyway and will instead run a proper combo that comes out t7 naturally AND are useful by themselves, your constant kvetching proves that your combo in fact is too fast without such a sandbagging rule and you only out yourself

At my LGS, sometimes a player leaves and you're left stranded with an awful 3-man pod. I've been fiddling around with mechanics in the vein of a WoW TCG raid where it's 3 players vs a deck, though in this case it's automated. The current proof of concept is a bit swingy, the boss having annihilator and all. But I think there's promise in the concept.

The boss has an untap, an upkeep, etc. It "attacks" the threat player. Players can attack and target it similar to a planeswalker. It draws an event card, and when it "escalates" it draws a second one. Very simple stuff.

The annihilator is ballbusting but also designed in such a way to keep players from snowballing out of control. That and the "threat" mechanic gives people incentive to pass around who controls what permanents.

The event deck cards are just examples. And it's not set in stone. But curious what you guys think.
>>
>>98720790
casting thoracle on t3 means you tap out and pray nobody has interaction. casting thoracle on t7 means you have 4 mana left to hold up counterspells and a silence. you havent nerfed the combo. youve made it statistically impossible for bracket 3 decks to interact with.
also nice goalpost moving.

>its impossible to regulate deckbuilding so we HAVE to bring thoracle and sandbag it until turn X
>actually sandbagging makes people cut thoracle from their decks entirely

pick an argument. if your solution relies on people cutting the combo thats called deckbuilding restraint. if they dont cut it youre back to sitting on a t3 win until t7 holding a pod hostage with an unlosable hand and pretending youre doing them a favor
>>
Tbqh we need more rigurous rules for these shitty bracket systems.
>>
>>98720871
>i always have thoracle and dcon and counters every time on t7
>people totally dont know what dimir colors can do on b3 and will totally think you're not a threat, the bracket where rhystic is legal btw
T6 is more than enough time for any single person to kill you (or maybe even the whole pod) hrough combat damage or any non-infinite boardstate, it's almost like T7 was selected for a good reason and that you actually dont play this game with any modicum of sweat
>>
>>98720848
It’s cool but what if I cast frogify?
>>
I should have grabbed this before all the Smaug fotm decks spiked it
>>
>>98720903
Obviously "it doesn't work" is the answer, though I haven't thought how to codify that. When attacking the boss counts similarly to a Gideon planeswalker, in that it has power but it can't just be dealt damage on the crack-back by blockers.

It doesn't have toughness, it has life or loyalty or some other variable. For how many mechanics Magic has, for those that would game the system you just have to say "It doesn't," unless you want a gigantic rulebook.
>>
>>98720882
you cannot write a mathematical formula that outsmarts 30 years of non linear interactions. if you want to bend rules you can.

Only /edhg/ could argue that there's no difference between preparing to curve Blood/Bond combo across 2 turns, and holding up Thoracle combo while digging for counterspells/silences to protect it on that same turn.
>>
>>98720944
They're fast and one-sided and often lead to snowbally games. If you've played EDH enough you learn to loathe them. It's really 4-man or bust.

You could pull a good old Yugioh raid raptor ultimate falcon “unaffected by other cards’ effects”? I’d give it trample too.
>>
>>98720944
King-make city.
>>
>>98720956
Trample is a bit too backbreaking early game. Keep in mind this thing is swinging after turn 1. There will likely be an event that gives it a bit more power and trample. Maybe an enchantment event to incentivize running enchant removal.

But a player is already losing a permanent, and while the -5 create a treasure is designed to mitigate real bad breaks, you also have to throw a creature out in front of it that will more than likely die. Balance-wise the annihilator and removal on events is designed to make the fight's cadence a bit more of an uphill battle. The start is rough and trample could lead to very deterministic losses.

>too pussy to give me a (You) now
Go ahead and try to tear up your b3 pod with blue farm with only 3 GCs with thoracle with a t7 limit and a fistful of the cedh counterspell suite that only seems to hit noncreatures for some reason it'll be funny to see what actually kills you there
>>
>>98720988
that aint me
>>
>>98720235
KW requires two cards to do two in-colour effects that synergize in a way that somewhat replicates another colours effect. Outside of the pedantic difference of both effects being attached to a single card, it is identical to a regular in-colour two card synergy that somewhat replicates another colours effect (IE Anchor to the Aether + Thought Scour). This is acceptable as not only is that synergy a natural consequence of interactions within that slice of the colour pie, but the colour being replicated is still head and shoulders above the colour replicating thanks to the combination of card advantage & assembling specific cards.

If you cannot understand something as simple as this, stop playing this fucking game and spare everyone from your profound retardation

Orzhov is kinda exception that proves the rule since Wx with any other color will generally not have an outlet for all that life.

Etali, Primal Storm, not conquerer. EPS can hit lands too. Ur-Sphinx at least scales with more attacking Sphinxes, but most Sphinxes have respectable stat lines, so if you're freely attacking with 3+ flying 5/5s, them you're probably winning anyway.

Yeah he seemed pretty badass. You can either slap people unblocked or kill their creatures on bad blocks. I was going to use some weird defensive stuff like Mirror Strike and Entrapment Maneuver too. Any other jank ideas? The older and more obscure the better especially if they kind of have a tactical gimmick.

Spells your opponents control can be countered even if they can't be countered Ward - Donate a non-token permanent.
Creatures don't die for having 0 or less toughness.
If this creature is a token, it's controller loses life equal to the number of counters on this creature.
If a source you control would put +1/+1 counters on your critters, you may instead put that many -1/-1 counters on an opponents critter.
If an opponent would create a token, they create a copy of this creature instead.

It’s my protection spells for my Ixhel toxic deck, I’ve been told I’m going to be focused on every game in spite of rushing poison counters on a specific player being the least optimal play I could make in an Ixhel deck as I’d lose a source of cards before I can kill everyone at once with poison counters. After playing with it a bit I may be able to cut the pillow fort stuff back a bit after gauging reactions but people always lose their fucking minds whenever they think of poison in this format while a player could go infinite before an infect card can even get a single poison counter on someone.

Seeing a deck plow through three opponents worth of constant interaction is so depressing. Boardwipes, swords, fogs, literally just shrugged them all off and rolled over everything. Bolted his bird, stunted a defense of the heart with my aven mindcensor and he still pulled a big hit onto the board.
