Posted it a little while ago but these are my mono Black Commanders
>>
I have never done mono-black in Commander.
But on the Magic Arena client I have a brawl deck with Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor as the commando. Also I used to play a mono-black Standard deck that featured Rotting Reggy for a period of time.
Also even before that, I had a 'casual kitchen table 4-player 60-card' group years and years ago, and I had a mono-black deck with playsets of Phyrexian obliterator and Garry to finish.

So yeah, when I do play mono-black, I prefer aggro.
>>
>>98885558
I mainly play it in 99 for my Ghost Council Of Orzhova but I brainstormed using is as a commander.
Reanimation and Aristocrats would be there, but I want mostly to focus on self-targetting with Torgaar's ability for massive amounts of resources for Necropotence, Greed etc.

The rates for gaining counters here is probably a bit too good.
Putting two +1/+1 counter son a creature typically costs 4 mana and includes sacrificing the land. The cycle from Hobbit alongside Cave of Temptation are easy examples of that.
And of course, Great Bay dishing out three counters is pretty major, but drawing two cards on top of that is also something that ends up as really expensive on a land.
I think you'd be better off keeping it consistent as a single +1/+1 counter for each land.

The downside of Stone Tower would also probably be more reasonable as a token creation effect ala Forbidden Orchard. Giving each opponent any creature from the yard is massive, and decayed doesn't matter much because they just get to bring it back next turn.
Giving them some 2/2 decayed zombie tokens is a downside slightly more in line with the other lands. Though Stone Tower doesn't even have as much of a payoff as those.

Double Strike isn't withing UB colors, but other than that, seems rather reasonable. Pretty similar to a Francisco Malcolm partner pairing. Needing to hit with two outlaws is a decent way to compensate for making it easier for outlaws to hit face.

I'd just swap double strike for first strike, since that still enables some of the tricks you could do with another first strike outlaw to get more triggers.

Thank you for the input. I think I'll go with reducing the counters. I'll maybe also make them all enchantment lands.

it's not real magic, it's the format for shitters who don't want to/can't play real magic. therefore, it's pretty congruent that fake magic card makers would frequent edhg and not the real mtg general.

>>98886966

It's the only non-standard format you can expect to find a game for anywhere magic is played.
So, if you hate UB shit but still want to play magic, EDH is the best format to build in.
>>

any commander with blue.

>>98886994
That really doesn't track and I don't understand what that has to do with either of the posts you replied to
>>
>>98887002
Then you have a problem with comprehending English.
Also you don't seem to understand the formats either, the only guaranteed formats at any location are standard, draft and edh, draft being a subset of standard.
anything playing the current or recent sets is going to forever have UB bullshit in it now that mtg is promised to be half-UB.
Now that isn't to say you won't find UB shit in EDH, but you're guaranteed to find it in standard and half the time in draft.
So EDH is the best choice for someone who wants to guarantee they can play anywhere but who also doesn't want to guarantee that they'll see spiderman, star trek, etc... at every match in every deck.
How is this difficult to understand?

Yeah that's not true though because EDH is THE ub format. It has more ub going into it than any other format and is one of the few formats you can really ub-max in. You will run into tons of players playing ub out the ass, unlike any competitive format

You fail to observe the important factor here.
UB is optional in edh, it is requisite in standard and half the sets you get to draft mean you'll be purely playing ub with nothing else.
you can play edh while telling the FF fag to fuck off, you can't play standard without ub being involved.

>>98886876
For some reason I didn't even register that it was tapping for WUG instead of W, U, or G.
I think you can make that aspect of the card work, but transforming it would definitely need to go back to 4 mana. Ideally making it a tap ability as well so that it doesn't instantly refund you most of the mana.

Tutoring like that is way too far, especially if transforming isn't going to be a tap ability. 3 mana and you immediately set up your next draw by just tapping to search before transforming.
The Scry effect on the previous version felt like a far better way to play around with the library flipping idea.
>>
>>98887192
it has a higher number of cards that shuffle your library than my preference (eg Farseek), which is to be expected from a lands deck.
it has some cool cards, though.

>>98887214

>>
>>98887214
I try to make my deck have less than 5 cards (including fetchlands) that shuffle your library. I fucking hate picking up a 100 card deck and shuffling it 10 times a game. Id rather run shitty versions of cards and skip on staples if they make you shuffle your library. Once I set down my deck and its been cut I should almost never be searching through my deck. Also most tutors are cancerous and lead to samey game states in a format meant to be about variety so the less tutors the better. I dont mind a tutor or two but if you're the type of stupid cunt who Vampiric Tutors on the end step of the player's turn before yours and then spend 3 minutes searching and shuffling your library I might just punt you in the nuts under the table.

>>98887283
Or I just dont like wasting time in an admittedly casual format. It does nothing for me to win a game of EDH, therefore I only run bracket 1-2 decks and I cut down on shuffle effects because Im not going to waste my time optimizing play in a format where my opponent is playing a fucking precon. Also much easier to hand a deck to a new player with few to no shuffle effects because theres less info they need to know. They dont need to be thinking about whats in the deck, just whats in hand and whats on board.

So you don't want new players to know the potential of their deck, to mana ramp, to find answers? I see, you're just a shitty low-power pubstomper that doesn't like others to get better, good to know!
>>
>>98887337
I like how you keep assuming the worst intentions on my part. No, im not a low power pubstomper and often Ill play suboptimally to let a new players deck function, I will wait on removal and play my deck slower to let them get going. And in general a new player is going to get far too overwhelmed with tutors, especially in a 99 card singleton deck, most of the time theyll end up grabbing the "wrong" card anyway because they dont have context to know what card they need to search for. Also not every new player haa the desire to develop into some hyper competitive spike bracket 4-5 player. Some will always be casual players who just want to have fun. Thats where I am.

Firstly, there are two decks in this one deck.
Remove Nazan and all the equipment. Might be a tough pill to swallow, but doing so will work better.
Then get better cats that are more than just keyword creatures, like Arahbo, Kaheera, Bast, and the changelings that blow up stuff. Seth's tiger makes people upset at times.
Then get some more card draw. Luckily you're in green and you're commander pumps without having to be on the battlefield. Cards like Lifestreams Blessings, Return of the Wild speaker, Rishkar's Expertise, etc. you don't actually have to sac your creatures in Green.
Get some actual ramp rather than the enchantment ramp and more of it.

Even though Tricky Terrain is approaching the 100 dollar mark I personally think it's still a great value pickup, it has multiple landfall classics that are around the 10-20 dollar mark plus the cedh staple Talon Gates of Madara which is 40 dollars by itself

Overall the deck gives you about 200 dollars worth of singles as well as the collector sample, a fantastic pickup imo

If you're willing to shill out 40 bucks for a kitty, ocelot pride is pretty absurd even if you aren't focusing on lifegain or tokens, it's a self contained cat making factory.
Wild growth and overgrowth are great, but fertile ground is a little less so without untaps or enchantress stuff. Too lazy to do the proper math on it, but just on a feels basis how often is Armored Skyhunter hitting? Can probably get away with replacing fertile ground with a rampant growth or a utopia sprawl for 3 of the one mana land auras. They're also worse than rampant growths into board wipes as they get got but lands tend to stick around, but as this deck is pretty soft to board wipes anyway (and you're probably not likely to see many if you're playing kitties) then exchanging bounce back potential for raw power is fine imo.
Consider Tribute to the World Tree for a tiny amount of card draw and also making tokens better, the mana base seems to fuck enough to support playing it consistently.
If she'll allow it, consider Felidar Cub for generic cat card + enchantment removal.
Deck could obviously play cavern of souls but that probably doesn't matter much.

Okay so that's like clearly a flaw in the game and needs to be fixed?
Like what the fuck, that's just utter nonsense and honestly makes Magic a worse game.

I literally don't know man it makes no sense, but look it up and you'll find that to be the case.
Apparently because of the way layers work, some abilities actually still apply even if abilities are disabled, which to me just means that Magic is actually like a very bad game.

I don't know who cheated you out of a win on commander night but bello does indeed lose all abilities if imprisoned in the moon
>>
Am I actually onto something here with a haste deck or am I wasting my time? The idea is to be heavily aggressive and have a play every turn, even if I get board wiped then my creatures are cheap enough. I like the idea of always having something to play on every turn, and the simplicity of the deck.

Dude literally google "imprison in the moon bello" and you'll find people smarter than me explain it.
Apparently because Bello's effect applies in an earlier layer than Imprison, it actually just happens anyway. Like i said this game is dogshit.

>>98888242
>>98888230
Because of his layer, Bello's static effect only continues to function until the end of turn when hit by Imprison in the Moon.
Once a new turn starts, his ability ceases to function since the card no longer has that ability.

>>
>>98888285
But it even says it right in your image, Bello's effect is on a higher layer (4) than imprison (6).
>>
>>98888269
Bello's ability is not "until end of turn", it checks every time whether or not it is his controller's turn. That's why you dome the rat to fog and deny him draw.
>>
>>98888301
Again, it's only for the turn. If you Flash in Imprison during your opponent's turn, it's too late to stop Bello's ability since it's already active and remains so for the rest of the turn.
If you hit Bello with Imprison during your turn, then pass to the opponent with Bello, Bello's ability never activates because the card no longer has any ability to activate.
>>
>>98888310
No that's just not true, because Bello's multi-layer passive effect on other cards starts on layer 4, it outprioritized Imprison's layer 6 effect.
Literally look this up, you will not find a different answer anywhere because that is how this shit ass game works.

If Imprison is on Bello when his controller's turn starts, his ability does not activate because Bello does not have any ability to activate, per Imprison's text.

Imprison only does not remove Bello's effect if the effect is active when Imprison is cast.

Meaning Bello's ability is already active.
Fuck.
Once the turn ends, Bello's ability is no longer active.
Once the controller's turn comes around again, if Imprison is still on Bello, it does not activate.
>>
>>98888358
yes, DURING YOUR TURN
that means you STARTED the turn with bello having abilities so that ability still applies until that turn ends.
After that (since imprison does not state "until end of turn" bello has no abilities, ever, period.
So, that loss of abilitiy having occurred not during your turn (but on a previous turn) means:
Bello.
Has.
No.
Ability.
>>
>>98888368
>>98888369
It says "during your turn" because that's when Bello's ability is active you retarded faggots, this is just how layers work.
Imprison doesn't start outprioritizing Bello's higher layer ability at literally any time, passive abilities check for layering at all times.

"During your turn" is not an activated ability though, it merely happens, and because it's a type-changing effect, it overrides ability removing effects.

>>98888374
Jesus, you're fucking stupid.
We're telling you that if Bello's ability is active when Imprison is cast, then it does not turn it off, due to the arbitrary bullshit that is Layers. The ability stays active until the end of the Bello player's turn.
HOWEVER, once the turn passes around back to Bello's controller again, Bello no longer has any ability on any Layer.

>>
>>98888387
Yeah but you're wrong and I've already told you why, there is no point where the effect of Imprison starts overwriting a higher layer effect because at all times passive abilities check layering, going into a new turn cycle doesn't somehow change this.
Bello's ability doesn't stay active because it's a lingering effect like a sorcery that says "until end of turn X". It stays active because it's always checked in layering before Imprison's effect is checked.

It's good in casual games where 2 or 3 people are playing relatively weak decks with bad mana bases and there's one guy that has a 3000 dollar manabase in his 5c goodstuff pile, so you shut him off and the weaker decks continue to do their thing.

if your opponent leaves the commander in their yard you can vraska it
>>
>>98888417
Yes, Commanders can be put back into the Command Zone from the Graveyard (which needs to be hit to complete the "dies" effect) as a state-based action before Vraska can put her activated ability onto the stack.
Come Back Wrong can steal commanders because it's all done in one continual motion with no breaks like an "if X, then pay Y" situation like Vraska.

That's not how that works man. You just apply layers top to bottom.
>bello was imprisoned at the start of turn
>therefore he has no ability
>therefore he cannot affect layer 4
That's not how that works.

613.1. The values of an object’s characteristics are determined by starting with the actual object. For a card, that means the values of the characteristics printed on that card. For a token or a copy of a spell or card, that means the values of the characteristics defined by the effect that created it. Then all applicable continuous effects are applied in a series of layers in the following order:
>layer 1 ... layer 7

At all times, to figure out what characteristics a card has, you:
1) read the cardboard
2) apply the layers, in order, one layer at a time
The game doesn't "remember" that bello lost his ability on a previous check. He always has his ability on the cardboard, and that ability always gets wiped out on layer 6. However since bello applies his thing on layer 4, your artifacts and enchantments are still always creatures.

Conduit Pylon, Hidden Grotto, and Surveillance Room should be in your mana base somewhere. Replace a basic or two and/or take out Unknown Shores for one. The three lands are exact copies of each other. ETB surveil 1, tap for butthole mana, and filter for colored. All of them only cost like a quarter and enter untapped.
Consider depletion lands like Hickory Woodlot. ETBs tapped but allows you to tap for GG twice before it sacs itself, letting you power out your broken shit. There's one for each color.
Play Malevolent Rumble. See pic related.
Consider Arid Archway somewhere in there. I think it's shit but I don't think it's much worse than shrine of the forsaken gods.

And that is exactly why the occurence of proxies at the table has exploded, they ceased to make the aesthetic of the game and the identity of the game something that is valuable, and so many players have asked themselves "why should I pay to gamble on cardboard when this is the result?" and then discovered professional printing services so then asked themselves "why not?" and found no good objection.
It seems to me that the advent of commonplace pro-print proxies and the advent of UB near completely coincide with each other, and the growth of both things also seem to coincide with each other.
Magic has never been anything but printed cardboard, respect of the IP and the playerbase is what made legitimacy valuable, as wizards loses respect for both the IP and the players, the cardboard loses its value as an artificially scarce object.
>>
I would happily pay up to about 5 bucks per card if it's printed on good quality cardboard. Wotc now uses tissue paper cardboard and cards are hundreds of dollars. So, I get them printed on better paper for cheaper instead. I just want to play a board game with game pieces.

Against timmy dragon tribal the text is very relevant, and those decks are rather common that you'll probably see one at every commander night.
But you also have to consider that they've printed quite a few just generically good value dragons and demons that will appear in other decks, and she'll be covered from them too.
5 mana do nothing is pretty embarrassing sure, but as far as 5 mana do nothings go she's got a lot going for her.

There's a handful of avenues I see, but none of them are particularly amazing.
First and most obvious is finding easy sources of Red mana. Firebending creatures would be pretty good for that.
Second would be damage doublers, but you specifically need more universal ones since you don't control the lands. Sawhorn Nemesis or Curse of Bloodletting and Fiendish Duo are more ideal there for not also doubling the damage you take.
Third would be ways to copy the ability. Battlemage's Bracers or Illusionist's Bracers can let you load up multiple lands at once. Zirda as a companion would also be worth mentioning there for the cost reduction, but that's more build-around and clashes with some other options.
Fourth is more obviously some stax or pillowfort effects to drag out the game so opponents are spending more turns with their lands on fire. Cards like Paradox Haze would also fall into this where you can give someone extra upkeeps to multiply the burn.

The fifth and most niche interaction I can find would be using cards like Phyresis or Glistening Oil on an opponent's creature land in order to have the blaze damage become infect damage. But you'd need a way to animate an opponent's land permanently, and even then there's a chance they just sacrifice it once they see what you're up to.

Personally I just stuck this card in my own mono-R burn list because I like it and I didn't worry about the efficiency as much. It serves as an okay mana sink if nothing else.

You can get perfectly good results with the tool, if you watch over it's shoulder, if you simply task it blithely you won't get results.

>>98891529
A distinction with an incredible difference, the tool does not possess intelligence, it is fundamentally identical to the random map generators of early videogames like Age of Empires, it is vastly more complex and competent, but the foundation is the same.
To call it Intelligence communicates a misunderstanding, perhaps not on your part if you are ware, but to anyone else participating or observing the exchange who is not aware (and that is the overwhelming majority)
Calling a fork a spoon is not indifferent, it is ignorant.
The language we are using has specific and granular differentiations like this for a reason.
Every reptition of it as "AI" furthers the spread of ignorant misunderstanding and, to the informed observer, communicates that ignorance of understanding, if that is not your meaning then do not communicate that meaning.
And right there in your own reply you state exactly that, you are being ignorant to favour the ignorant.

I use a prompt like
>I have a jeskai deck that focuses around the draw go idea that everything worth doing can be done on the opponent's turn. I can make additional land drops using walking atlas and Terrain Generator. It has a land package and tries to keep the pips of its non-land cards to a minimum to include 10 utility lands including blast zone.
>The primary win condition of the deck is token generation via cards like monetary mentor of which we play 5. We support these tokens with a few enchantments such as jeskai's ascendency and cathar's crusade. There is also a sphyinx bone wand and a sentinel tower. The deck plays 7 cantrips (such as ponder) 10 solid instant speed draw spells, 10 instant speed interaction 4 board wipes and 7 counterspells. the deck also plays 11 mana acceleration rocks, one of which is sol ring, 9 of which cost 2 mana and enter untapped and one coalition relic
it generates me a list, a pretty bad one but then I do a second iteration and stick that in my sideboard

>last revision I want to add cost reducers to the mix, specifically for non-creature spells but if I have to be specific then for instants and sorceries
then I goldfish each list, mash them together in a way that makes sense and start tuning from there.
It actually takes more time than my old method of just going through my immaculately organized collection but the end product is usually a viable first draft, I would never rely on this tool to make anything but a first draft.

No I just looked up stuff on Scryfall that synergized with discarding a lot of cards.

MB on mistaking you, I saw 3 ramp and thought of the 3MV ramp sorceries that lots people suggest to cut first, not mana rocks. I played a couple more games with it today and only having a few didn't feel that bad to roll with, just curving out and swinging. I can toss in a few more of the signets and powerstones and stuff if that's what you'd suggest.

You don't really have to, if you want to keep making tuned and good decklists that's totally fine, I find them a lot more fun than slow bad piles.
You could also just think of it as good to have in case you've got friends with precons or whatever and you want to play with them but don't want to crush them with better lists, not every deck you make has to be finely tuned and good and not every deck has to be slow and "fun".

I know I said I'd have my 10 decks, ready soon but its looking like they wont be really ready till the end of the year
the no-repeated non-lands is giving me a bit of problems in the ramp department, not because the options aren't there but because im inevitably going to play some comes into play tapped artifacts and finding the right homes for those cards is taking some time
I got my non-green ramp selection sorted out last night. Feeling pretty good about most of it.
>Crosis:
Recently moved to a dedicated Craterclaw and less of an artifact goodstuff list
>Dromar:
Added some action to the list, warped devotion was just WAY too cute and the deck just didn't function with a bounce package and a regular removal package. Playing just the bounce package is about the easiest way I have seen to make your opponents bored enough to walk away. That is not what were going for here and a real problem with my dromar lists in the past. One version couldnt win till like turn 20 and did it with Sacred Mesa most times.
>Numot:
I have been struggling to find an interesting build for Numot that doesnt just turn into drawing your whole deck. I'm probably going to do some kind of gimmick like letting my wife build the deck or some shit.
>Oros:
Still a lifegain/Bolas' Citadel list. I've been testing out some cards like mana barbs and Heartless Hidetsugu but I think only having a dozen of these effects is too low impact. I did soften up a table a few nights ago with them then hit em with Howl of the Horde into a comet storm so its not totally useless.

Ima finish these non-green decks first. I think the green decks will be much easier, shout out to the guy spamming his empower jace tech Ima yoink that for Treva.

this is not true. blood moon is played in bracket 2 and 3 decks all the time. a drag queen groomer who works at GōtC has no bearing on this. its one thing to look up a list of game changers on your iPhone its another to explain some obscure rule that "this card isn't banned but it shouldn't be played in this power level" and then explain the ambiguous concept of "MLD" and what the D even stands for, and why blood moon is or isn't and the powerful lessons it teaches

but yes the fact that there are always-online people who read this stuff and think it has a bearing on gameplay and change their deck construction is unfortunate. one of the dudes I play with has armageddon in his b2 Hobbit Dwarves deck. thats the way it goes

love this shit. thats when I stopped playing but I recognize most of those cards from the core of the time I played from 2010-2012

OG Zendikar, Worldwake & Rise of the Eldrazi, Scars of Mirrodin, New Phyrexia, Innistrad , M10, M11 and M12. great times

mirrodin besieged & avacyn restored sucked though. and dark ascension I largely forgot even existed. back then when the middle block sucked majorly. except World Wake was impossible to find because Jace the Mind Sculptor. I think I only ever opened 2 World Wake boosters that I found randomly at Meijer's

I think I had also played during Return to Ravnica but got out after that until Ixalan then after 2018 out again until earlier this year for Final Fantasy.

which FF definitely brought a lot of older fans out of the woodwork, people have wanted a FF - Magic crossover for decades. thanks for reading my blog

Unless your definition of worst is different, like mechanically? Flavorfully? I don't see that much wrong with level up, could've been based around attacking or dealing damage or something instead but I think being a mana sink with counters worked too. Need for speed is just retarded all around.

I've got my Dromar build down to about 120 cards. Need to cut. It's just purely a stax deck with him as the wincon among a few others. I never built a stax seck so I just have been picking up all the staples I was missing along with all I've had and threw it together.

It's not the worst ever but it's really, really bad. Flavorwise it should be an easy slam dunk with all the video game UB cards they've been doing. This would actually be really easy to execute and could create less annoying UB transform flip cards. Except level up is locked to sorcery speed which turns literally every card with the mechanic into putrid unplayable dogshit even in bracket 2 games. Potentially awesome mechanic relegated to the back of the bulk box forever.

Nice. I loved those oldschool rafiq decks. I saw a few back in the day that could absolutely smash a table and not just get btfo voltroning one person.

I never made one, but I did use him in a Horde of Notions EDH deck I made. It was pure aggro. Small creatures that did something, swords for extra power and to get damage through, and some damage multiplying effects. Horde itself is underrated as a voltron creature since he has vigilance haste and tample. Just bump up his power and he is going to tear it up.

In fact, I think I have pictures of this deck from back in the day. Maybe I'll post them.

It wasn't even intentionally a slice of that era, the intention was the best cards ever printed at common level up to that time, but they all had to be in the modern card frame so the whole cube had a cohesive aesthetic, each card may have a different set symbol, but it still feels like a set. the archetypes are mildly unbalanced, but that is not by design that is an effect of how the game had actually been balanced up to that date.
I do believe there are about 5-10 cards its missing because of availability and price at the moment I purchased all the things I didn't have in my collection.

they didn't initially work with, but were changed to work with doubling season.
>714.2b “{rN}—[Effect]” means “When one or more lore counters are put onto this Saga, if the number of lore counters on it was less than N and became at least N, [effect].”
https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/secrets-of-strixhaven-update-bulletin
>We've made a small change to how Sagas work. The mechanism that adds lore counters to Sagas now better matches planeswalkers and battles. Specifically, we've made the ability that causes Sagas to enter with lore counters on them an intrinsic ability. We did the same for the ability that allows the controller of Sagas with read ahead to choose a number of lore counters. This makes some interactions more intuitive: Doubling Season will now double the number of lore counters a Saga enters with.
