>>98940861>TQliterally no one has ever done this in the 16 years I played this format
I have jokes I make while playing my decks, but I don't roleplay.
Show me your niche hate cards. After playing against one too many cascade/discover piles I started running this one and it's served me well.
>TQI am going to preface all of my plays with this deck with>I, DOOM! shall cast...
>>98940882Cascade and discover spells are cast though?
Who's the faggot at WotC making these goddamn G cards?
>win a pack at FNM>mfw It's not ancient tomb, but it seems pretty good to me. How does Exalted compare to stuff like Anointed Procession?
>>98940903Every token doubler is expensive as hell because they are all strong as hell and will vastly improve any token spam deck
>>98940915Token doublers are win more Timmy bait trash. If you see one, you are playing against a scrub
>>98940882Does she count as niche?
>>98940861>TQwhat does RP have to do with boardgames? I don't RP when playing puerto rico, battleship, or catan.
every deck I build is either combo or sucks...
>>98940921Elspeth and Ocelot Pride are timmybait trash, got it
>>98940934All.Full stop.
>>98940903sunborn is 5 mana (above average) for having the benefit of also being stapled to a 2-mana sorcery that doubles your tokens for one turn. you can also abuse it really hard on that turn. the body is occasionally relevant, especially with lifelink, but you're probably not going to swing with it.
>>98940882Back to Nature's saved my bacon so many times. Everyone runs enough creature hate, artifact hate isn't irregular, but enchantments tend to pile up.
>>98940921Post your leet decks.
>>98940929This entire format only works if you either,A) Run a combo to actually win the gameB) Run green and just get to snowball out of control because everyone else isn't able to run combos until way laterThis format has become abysmally fucking stupid.
>>98940929>>98940965>I can't build decks that can win without comboslopping/landfallsloppingNice self reports for sucking at this game when there's incredibly pushed aggro commanders in all colors now.
>>98940972>Do thing; draw card>ANOTHER creature board spam centric deckLiteral aids.
>enchants your sol ring
>>98940975>waaaahhhh I can't win without relying on crutch combos>waaaahhhh there's extremely strong non-combo commanders that allow different strategies >waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhWe need /bitchg/ so all you pissbabies can just go cry about everything in the game there.
>>98940964Rith the awakener is too big and dumb to play more overcosted do nothing spells
>>98940975alright tough guy let's see your commander
>>98940972>three colorsnope
>>98940983>Plays generic value engines and thinks he's hot shit for flooding the board with cards specifically curated for a linear experienceWe might as well be playing Yugioh with how archtypes are basically codified. That Zurgo is the definition of Commanderslop.
>>98940991Post your decks, bitch.
>>98940998Don't have a deck list, but currently curating pic related as a Sneak Attack/Reanimator deck.
>>98941003>your do thing draw aggro commander SUCKS my do thing draw graveyardslop commander ROCKSlmao there really are some wholly unselfaware turbotards in this general.
>>98941014hes right though
>barely 30 posts in and he's already samefagging after being btfo'dwewlad
>>98940861>TQ: to those people who think edh is a boardgame: do you actually bother to roleplay as your commander like d&d?I have a bit where I pretend to be a dickhead version of Yami Yugi and narrate all my moves and what my opponents do throughout the game. It usually leads to me becoming archenemy because I'm trash talking everyone and criticizing the moves they make (in character). Honestly I don't think it's that funny but my friends think it's hilarious and tell me to do it every few games. I usually do it when I play my theft deck, for added salt.I'm thinking of buying this card for $17. Am I fucking retarded /tg or is that a decent price for what it is?
>>98941014Yes. Nowhere does Hidetsugu say, "Do thing; draw card." He is what an actual fair version of Prophet should have been if you build him with Impulse in mind. You can possibly leaverage sacrifice strategies of you want, or attempt alternative casting costs. Act of Aggression spells + Sac is also possible. Hidetsigu has a lot of ways he can be built, because nothing he does is free or too obvious, so deckbuilding allows you to get crazy with him.That Zurgo just shows up, gets to accrue value essentially free of charge, because he is a Legenary Creature specifically built to do one thing exceptionally good. Linear and boring as fuck. You know it's just going to be making tokens, and making them attack. That's it. That's all you have.
Personally, I like drawing cards
>>98941037>erm aschually my card advantage commander is le heckin big brained because it uses different verbage and cheating value engines in from the graveyard is like a totally high iq strat that isn't just turn cards sideways so heh sorry kiddo I'm actually very smart
>>98941053I realize you got called out for essentially being a YGO player, but you don't have to double down and make a bigger ass of yourself.
>get home from prerelease Sunday at midnight >dick around for like seven hours before going to bed>pop half a Unisom>wake up at 12:30 am, Tuesday >missed Commander Night at LGS when I told everyone at prerelease I'd be thereHeh, gottem.
>>98941061If you slept for that long, you probably needed it.
>>98941056>you exposed how big a brainlet I am but if I pretend like you were the idiot without even attempting to refute your points then in my mind I won!Concession accepted lolcowHave a good 'un!
can we expect some digital only cards to come to paper now or am I just coping?
>>98941080forgot pic
>>98941080There's hope, albeit slim. I got the one I wanted on paper so I was able to toss the proxy.
>>98941027Based and king of games pilled
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>98941096never knew why this guy was digital only in the first place
>>98941027$17 is fine for ulamog 3.0
>>98941084>we stopped alchemy because you kept calling us out for making you unpaid beta testersgood riddance
>>98941099Should be 25.
>>98941100Most online only cards could be pretty easily made into paper with just a few changes.

>>98940998are we posting decks now?
>>98941100It's not they cut them out of the set. The alchemy team makes them after the main set is already done and finished.
>>98941183That make's more sense
Felicia Spaceships
>>98941156I'll have you know that some of us aren't femboys. We're just gay furries.
>>98941199But Gruul is the gay furry pairing...
>>98941176i wish kwia vigorbloom was in WB. i'm currently working a papalymo totolymo deck and i would absolutely LOVE to get a black lotus token every turn from my shenanigans there.
>>98941211>it doesn't say basic
>>98941289Why would it?
>>98941176ew ai
>>98941311:(
What did they mean by this?
You know I always wonder whenever some super-opponent of UB posts on social media>I went to prerelease and nobody was thereWhy were THEY at prerelease for a UB set they spent 2 months (sometimes more) complaining about?
>>98941069I did. I only had like five hours of sleep each day the past week. Hopefully I can be awake for their other commander day on Wednesday.
What's a good engine for a Felisa spaceship deck? Tap creatures (which ones?) to put charge counters on ships, sac the ships to create (tapped) creatures... Get the ships back somehow... There's got to be a way this works.
>>98940929Which decks have you built? There's so many other options.
>>98940985Man, there's almost too many fun looking rakdos commanders.
>>98941084Definitely for the best. Couldn't stand seeing interesting cards being locked to that game of all fucking things.
>>98941115I wonder why this isn't ported over to like Experience Counters or something. Is it because intensity is tracked on the card and not the player?
>>98941458it is a different mechanic but it's not like wotc hasn't thought of it
>>98941406You go positive on dead ships because inklings are 2/1 so it really doesn't matter. And recursion is a heavily oversupported deck type. This isn't a hard deck to hash out.
>>98941458WotC is lazy and lots of the designers are literal autists running the asylum. Intensity could easily be replaced by experience counters but then they'd probably moan about proliferate abuse while they continue to drop ridiculous value engines for their own favored deck types every other set.
>>98941291Oh right, because it doesn't count basics but land types
>>98940991How do you want to win anon? You don't want to combo, you don't want green stompy, you don't want value engines. What do you want?
>>98941566>What do you want?To cry and dilate
>>98941458Literally no reason. If they don't want proliferate they can mimic it with an emblem. They draw absolutely arbitrary lines saying they don't want "extra complexity" but the drop a ton of special emblems and trackers, with the ring tempting and dungeons and all that
>>98941576>he doesn't know off hand what Empowering Jace or the Initative or Start Your Engines or Outlaws or Manifest or a Disguise or Cipher or Embalm or Behold meansNGMI bro
>>98941503i fucking love grave researcher
>>98941566I don't mind comboing. The issue is that combo is basically gutted in B3 and lower for no real reason. The entire point of combo is to get under value creep, yet the rules are such so that it's impossible to accomplish this with how fast and explosive generic low mana shit is these days.
>Just Armageddon the Green playerMeanwhile, WotC has printed a hundred redundant effects like this in random bullshit with upside, like Mole Man.
>>98941406You're too stupid to do it yourself, yet your deck idea is interesting. I'm stealing it for myself.
>>98941644Landfall and land based decks are the protected class of mtg.
>>98941647Agreed. There should be more ways to punish them for the awful things they do.
>>98940998>>98941176>set up my deck, organized for a picture>whip out phone camera>absolute potato quality of the camera since i got the absolute cheapest phone to replace my last one>can't even see what cards i am playing, let alone all the cool printings i have for itsuffering
>>98941644What's the most degenerate deck possible in Mono G with landfall? Something like getting a shitton of land plays per turn, all while triggering a dozen landfall abilities.
>play tellah usually>trade drops for ral>swap in just to test with no other adjustments>storming high hits earlier even if it crashes on 6th spelldamn that's addictive but I think I like Tellah more due to deck structure and how he's drawing cards in the shell
>>98940985not him but here is my artifact eater I love playing with this little fella even tho he's not even competitive at all
I always love the anti-landfall posts because they always come from newfags that don't realize how basically only one card came close to anything that could be considered a success while every other time it resulted in troll decks that got tons of people to quit while they didn't even check land decks.
Love how you can always disregard the opinions of vague posters
>see another landfall rage post>they don't bitch about why they didn't get their gravehate/their gravehate blew up>they bitch about needing better MLDwhat causes this?
>>98941633then play cedh where everyone combos off and the one single value card you'll ever have to worry about there is rhystic study
>>98941649They would need to add it incidentally on cards that already do something a decl would want to do, and they would need multiple pieces of it. You cannot commit a slot to hose ramp and do nothing else in this economy.
>>98941791There can exist a middle ground. Why people refuse to accept this is hilarious. If you're going to gut combo from B1-3, then urbo ramp and value engines should also be added tk the Game Changers list alongside restrictions on what turn you're allowed to land ramp on all the same.
>>98941815>There can exist a middle groundyes it's called b3 where you get to go infinite/altwincon starting t7>inb4 your boogeymen always have it against your t7 combo
Forgot how strong this card actually is.
>>98941644yeah we went over this. it was viable only back when maybe crucible and ramunap was a thing
>>98941810this.>play grave hate, they just ramp>play mld, they just recuryou need 2 separate pieces for 1 strat to not work if you go the destruction route so might as well try and just damage them for their greed with stuff like lynx and price of progress.now we just need more versions of 'em stapled to some modal spells for example
>>98941884I like the reverse landfall type of stuff and it would be cool to see more of it. It's never a total dud because people will be playing lands anyway, even if they aren't landfall decks.
>>98941884it's either ramp or land recursion, stop being sillynobody seriously runs rampant growth in crucible.dec
>>98941899>5 manaGame is over by them. This needs to be 2 mana and hose extra lands coming in per turn + upside to be even playable now.
The quirk chungus custom playmat maker sent me another email that has nothing to do with the order, this time it's his life's story and how that led to him opening an lgs.Fuckin weirdo.
>>98941842>4 mana do nothingYeah okay
>>98941974That card in particular for sure sucks balls for its cost in the current year but I like the concept.
>>98941980>buying custom mats>not just sticking to ultra pro and ultimate guard
For me, I just ordered myself a new playmat featuring Helluva Boss characters. Official Vivziepop merchandise (soiboi face). I ordered the 'Helluva boss IMP van' design.I had this thought a while ago, how come Magic the Gathering official playmats are so mid and underwhelming? I almost wish MtG did like OnePieceTCG, and turn playmats into a collectable, sought after item.
>>98942036I used to watch that show alot, had a Millie playmat that I lost in a move damn shame.
>>98942017Neither of those is offering slutty goblin.
>>98942017>not just sticking to ultra pro and ultimate guardNTA, Why would I when my custom mat is bigger, stitched, and cost the same price?
>>98942045Speaking of, I hope Gobbo anon will post some of the shite he has without borders so I can get a playmat of it
>>98942047>diversity face>no cleavageEw
>>98942036>>98942042>Turn brands into religions>Customers into cultists>Products into obsessionsYes signal that your entire identity revolves around spending money on franchise merch, represent the lack of You in You.
>>98942066you sound upset
>>98942066what did he mean by this?
>>98942066My playmat is just flat purple. There's nothing on it I just like purple.
>>98941176Yes.>>98942054All of my 2:3 aspect ratio 4ks for my proxies aren't going to look all that great for a mat. If you want something for a mat I can gen something in a better suited ratio.
>>98942125Solid colour mats are hard to find, most of them are character images with super busy backgrounds.
>>98942128nta but can you gen your transit mage for a mat
Do these two work together? Can I have Vic Fontaine give Alexander Lifelink before Alexander's damage trigger? I guess giving him infect could be pretty nasty, too, but I think I'm just gonna build a fun Bracket 2 deck around him and not worry too much about winning.
>>98942145No, the trigger goes on the stack after Alexander's whole ability has finished resolving.
>>98942128honestly like the aztec theme you have with your gobbos so something like that would be nice
>>98942128Chloe Frasier variant for the background?
>>98941644how do they cast it if they have no lands
>>98942145No, Vic triggers on Alexander's draw, but gives +2/+0 and lifelink after the damage is dealt.
>>98942200>Lands decks running 40+ lands>Can turbo out protection or "Play lands from the gravyard" as soon as t2>The easiest color to bounce back by the nature of the fact they have land ramp in their deckMLD that isn't the entire deck archtype is basically kingmaking the Green player.
"Total G Death" 1BEnchantmentWhenever a land comes into play, if it wasn't the first land played this turn, that player loses 3 life.Whenever a card leaves an opponent's graveyard by an effect they control, that player loses 3 life. Cycling 1BThoughts?
>>98942128NTA 12:7 is the ratio, 150-300 dpi minimum for decent printing.
>>98942145If something triggers during the resolution of an effect, it waits to get put on the stack (rules 603.3 & 117.2a). What happens is;>Alexander reveals everyones topdeck and draws every player one card>Your own card draw triggers Vics ability>Alexander then burns a random opponent equal to the highest mana cost of the revealed topdecks, finally resolving his ability>Vics ability goes on the stack
>>98942216"Total G Death"1BEnchantmentWhenever a land an opponent controls enters, if that player had another land enter the battlefield under their control this turn, they lose 3 life.Whenever a card leaves an opponent's graveyard, they lose 3 life.Cycling 1BFlavor text:mtg is 30+ years old and people still can't template custom cards properly
>>98942045Which gob you trying to print? Where are you getting it printed at? I've usually used random guys on Amazon. They've never given me any issue yet.
>>98942229The intent of the first one is "if it entered from their hand and another land entered the battlefield under their control this turn or it didn't enter from their hand"The second ability would be too abusable for that mana cost and in black and needs to be "one or more" either way. It needs to be the original's "whenever a spell or ability an opponent controls causes or or more cards to leave their graveyard, <life loss>"
Fleshbag Marauder variant with a twist.Eradicates 1/1 tokens when needed, or acts as hard removal against single large targets.
If i have a card out that says "whenever you put one or more counters on a creature, do thing" and a spell that says "put a counter on a creature then proliferate"Do I get two triggers, or one since it's one effect?
>>98942265Two
"God I'm so shit at Magic please I need this" {1}ArtifactHexproof, indestructibleWhenever an opponent plays a land or casts a spell, you may destroy all permanents that player controls, then end the turn.

>>98942263mtg has so many mouthbreathers now edicts have to specify they choose what to sacrifice
>>98942301what are you talking about? edicts always allowed the victim to choose.
>>98942216Isn't the first effect basically just Tunnel Ignis? These sorts of effects aren't exactly common, but I swear people are always begging for cards that already exist.
>>98942313now you see why i say that custom card makers don't know how to template
>>98942229Trying to police the landfall player by doing small pings doesn't seem impactful (unless 'Total G Death' can be flashed in, to surprise hose a big landfall play). How about a Balance type effect."At the beginning of your upkeep (or earlier?), choose up to X lands where X is number of lands owned by the player with the fewest lands. The rest phase out until end of turn."
they need to make an acidic soil that does 2 damage per land, PoP doesn't work because they mostly just grab forests and islands
when did eldrazi stop annihilating and why?
>>98942265Rule 603.12a specifies that if the resolution of an effect performs a trigger event multiple times, that triggered ability will trigger for each of those events, with the only exception being paying a cost multiple times. Therefore, "one or more X" triggered abilities only require seperate trigger events of doing "one or more X", even if they all occur during the resolution of the same effect. Finally, the hypothetical effect puts a counter on a creature before proliferating, which allows you to put a new counter of the same kind on the aforementioned creature (among other objects), which is a seperate trigger event from the "put a counter on a creature", ergo the triggered ability triggers twice from the resolved hypothetical effect. QED
>>98942312Anon, his point was that edicts need to say that the victim chooses what creature they control to sacrifice, not that the victim chooses in the first place
>>98942298>Choose not to use abilityCalm down there squirt you think I'm out here giving my card drawbacks?
