i am once again asking for help/analysis on my sliverless first sliver deck.https://moxfield.com/decks/1TOSbuSUgkaqJhlPQiTsrw
>>98944875>monk>is actually a dancer
>>98944893What's the difference?
>>98944875>TQI plan on getting the one in the OP and I'm making my friend a knight commander about amass.
How do spaceships get turned into spirits?
>>98944895Dancer are performers. :)
>>98944935well if you want to go by Shinto lore they possess spirit or kami from the get go
>>98944903This is what I plan on getting for him, don't know if I should make him multiple colors or not. I know there's a better Knight commander but he wanted something like this.
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>98944992me on the left
>>98944992Just don't make the mistake of running this in your deck
>>98944992Amass is a fun mechanic. Needs more commanders for it that's for sure.
>>98944875Very gender-affirming OP for all my UB-loving FF14-playing sisterx
>>98945155You lost
>not even 20 posts in and the antifag is already crying about something
What's with this spreading epidemic of trash custom art proxies?
>>98945204I think it's two things1. Growing hatred of WoTC, the list of their warcrimes is well documented on /mtg/2. UB opened the flood gates, now everything is mtg so people can make AI slop and nobody bats an eye
>>98945204tourists love them and are not forced to their dead containment thread because we have no jannies
>>98945204>Stop having fun with the hobby, buy changs and rub them on your jeans to artificially age them like God intended
>>98945234>touristsI've been playing longer than you've been alive
>>98945256proxytards telling you that you're faking your cards wrong is funny
>>98945258askers?
They just keep printing humiliation ritual cards like The Naked Time until I crack aren't they
>>98945204There are very obvious design avenues WotC could take, but won't for whatever reason.
Fuck Goblins starter kit.
>>98945335So tsundre.
>>98945437They're out to get you they're out to get you they're out to get you they're out to get you they're out to get you they're out to get you they're out to get you they're out to get you they're out to get you they're out to get you
>>98945437Why would they be off topic when they're talked about in the realm of cedh? Incessant bitching about random posters is off topic though
>>98944875>mfw some guy in my lgs was forced to change his card sleeves in order to participate in a FNMseriously, I've never seen that kind of shit in my whole live and I have seen people using more degenerate animeshit in their card sleeves. Also the card sleeves had a gothic lolita sitting on a tombstone with her legs open but she was using small pants so in my eyes, it was not sugestive at all.
>>98945518It's a bleeding shame that the lolichads have to suffer like that
>>98945518was the art showing naked parts?
>>98945542He just answered that question in his comment, READ
>>98945569>READyou are asking too much to zoomers
>>98945130I find it really fun it's the only reason I built the Great Goblin
Currently testing the printing process. It might take some time to get things right, before I'll print everything out. This gives me some time to tinker on the side, so here's the latest version of the hardest card t balance. I want this one to be more than just big creature with hexproof so I decided for a broad but not impossible to overcome type of protection. The idea is, you really have to tease out an opponent's removal before casting it/have Link transform into it. He only deals with legendary creatures and planeswalkers, since, in the game, you can only use the mask for bosses.
>>98945641meh, dies to removal
>>98945335Tivadar seems like a reasonable guy.
>>98945335>>98945667Never ask a racist the race of his GF
>>98945673Based
>>98945666Wait, dies to bounce.a 40/40 army token is worthless, 40x 1/1 tokens is far superior.
>>98945698To be fair, saruman protects the army with ward and TGG doesn't really give a shit if it dies or is removed.
>>98945649Pretty good, considering how much unknown territory you're treading
>>98945649reminder that it's a wotc rule that UB cards never specifically reference planeswalkers
>>98945833*UB cards of IPs that wotc doesn't own like D&D that is
>>98945836D&D isn't a UB, it's part of Magic, literally by word of Wizards.Source: Black Lotus Unknown Planechase event.
>>98945861mtg and d&d each count as a universe so your creature getting +2/+2 because you have grizzly bears and bahamut means d&d is a UB
>>98945861That doesn't say what you think it does.
>>98945864D&D Bahamut doesn't have a card.
>>98945880
>>98945861That literally dictates DnD and Magic as separate universes.
>>98945833That would make it even more fun to smack one in the face for 10. You're not getting your gay emblem this game.
>>98945888That's not Bahamut and in fact it's not even GMoF. This is a skinwalker card designed by someone that didn't know shit about the lore and when called out fingered their asshole and said "uhm, it's acksually my interpretation"
how did a d&d schizo get itt?
Well excuse me for knowing something about an IP that isn't MtG.
>>98945649The wording for the cast is weird. Shouldn't the cast discount method be explained before you actually cast it?
>>98945961you may know it but you don't own it - big differencewotc says that's bahamut, therefore it is
>>98945954I sympathize, but it is WotC that said it, so even when it's complete fucking bullshit, it is what it is.
>>98945957UB shit, do you understand why gatekeeping matters yet?
>>98945861You know this raises a bit of an interesting philosophical question about how fictional worlds are grouped. In a way it almost feels reductive to make the split UB/UW because it implies MtG's IP is far more homogeneous than most people would enjoy. I don't think it's particularly fair to say "Greyhawk D&D with serial numbers filed off" and "New York but people have magic superpowers" have, or even should have, much connective tissue between them. Especially since quite ironically this comparison exists for both UB (FIN/MSH) and UW (DOM/SNC) IPs.
>>98945964This has been debunked.Look at star wars.Fan canon trumps ip holder canon
>>98945518>lolitano fucking wonder. It's depicting a minor and it doesn't matter if the art had her using short pants, it's probably opening her legs in a sugestive way.Good call from the lgs owner.
>>98945986>bad call from the lgs owner.ftfy
>>98945974>the UWfaggot says this while being unable to gatekeep his game from the rainbow people
>>98945986He had to buy new sleeves. Good call indeed from a business PoV
>>98945964>>98945973WotC hasn't had creative control over the D&D setting since they acquired it. Unironically Ed Greenwood has sole creative control over the setting and it's probably one of the things WotC hates the most about D&D because he'll answer the most unhinged questions ever on Twitter for $5.
>>98945998wotc has full creative control but they can't stop ed from running his mouth
>>98945962I used things like picrel as a template. But I see your point. It doesn't have the "for each card [treated] this way" wording and to name the discount first (and separately) as other cards do. However, these don't usually also do something that gets you the discount. If you have a comparable official example I'll change it, but otherwise I'll stick with what I have, if only because it saves me a linebreak on an already wordy card.
>>98945998He makes novels and shit under WotC. WotC has the control over the IP. If anything, they're both equally flippant about it all, and fucking do whatever the fuck.
>>98946028>As an additional cost to cast this spell, exile all creature cards in your graveyard and put a mask counter on each of them. This spell costs {1} less to cast for each creature card exiled this way.
>>98946098>*exile all creature cards from your graveyard
>>98944875>TQSomewhere around 2019 a dude at my LGS made a custom planeswalker commander based on himself, I only played against it once. The card wasn't busted or anything but he salted out and scooped because I was "targeting him" - I was playing a go-wide aggro deck and he had a Ring of Three Wishes in play, so I needed to kill him before he could grab and cast a board wipe.
>>98946103>>98946098The point is that, if your commander went ahead and already exiled some creatures, those count towards the discount. (Also, if Fierce Deity was removed, it at least set up utility for Link.)That's also why it has cycle. It's supposed to be shoved into the graveyard and itself be turned into a mask in most cases.
>>98944875How do we convince WotC to only hire japanese artists and let the japanese handle all character designs and lore from now on?
>>98944992Sorry for the spam but I made another army commander and want to see if it looks nice, I want to get it printed along with my friends army commander and the Rabbit in the OP.
>>98944875>TQI'm making some E33 cards, wondering if this works for a planeswalker commander
>>98946195speaking of I should probably boost his it's pretty unfair for mine to have ward 2 and his only have +1/+1
>>98946167if the success of FF didn't convince them nothing will
>>98946205they will at some point bend the kneeMaybe star trek will open their eyes.or maybe they will do a Rings of Power UB set
>>98946167they will put japanese art in secret lair/collector cards so the fat animefarts buy it like the usually do.
>>98946167dawg those alt arts are so fucking ugly, who would want a whole set like that?
>>98946167they have been doing anime in every other set as alt arts and those are always high in demand
If we removed all the troons and wokies from the MTG community, would the game unironically improve?
>>98946318nope
>>98946318No the game would die because if you remove all the retards, nobody is buying boxes.
>>98946318The percentage of people who both talk about the game and actually play the game would improve marginally
>>98945998why arent these faggots on sex offender lists yet
What's the best setup to keep track of your entire stash of cards as well as all your decks and so on?Right now I got manabox on the phone where I have all my cards, but it's limited to 5 deck foldersI also use archidekt and sync decks from there to mythic tools which then shows the same decks and can also be used as a game tool to show the life etc. of all players, plus you can even track stats of your decks Just wondering what the best setup is
>>989461952 posts isn't spam.10 posts isn't spam if your discussing something 100s of posts with no content or context is spam.
>>98946354Being a degenerate isn't actually a crime.
>>98945998I fucking told you guys
>>98946366The traditional method, sort all your cards into cardboard card storage boxes by colour with a separate box for uncommons+, again sorted by color.Then, and this is the amazingly simple part, just remember what you have.
>>98946382Well yeah of course I do physically have the cards in boxes but that's not equivalent to a searchable list or tool that lets me go "oh ok I got 82 of the cards for this, I lack these 18" etc.
>>98946354>He says in /edhg/
>>98946386No, the boxes are not that tool. Your brain is.Ironically, only if you aren't an actual tool.
>>98944883>will have 60+ mana on my turn if I can untap with Nyxbloom Ancient>use my last remaining counter to protect it from opponent #1's kill spell>opponent #2 draws an Assassins Trophy on his turn>points the kill spell at opponent #1's Triton Shorestalker with 5 +1/+1 counters on it because "it could kill me in 4 turns!">untap, win on my turnHappened at my last game night but this shit happens all the time. You have to understand, the average commander player has the IQ of a grilled cheese sandwich.
>>98946394Ok thanks for the helpful advice I'll just remember all twenty thousand cards
Do any of you run super ultra sweaty decks? If so, show me it.
>>98946318I don't mind trans people. I am a 4chan lurking Magic player, so I am basically trans-adjacent. I am an ex-chud. Also in my area, most people who play Magic are some sort of LGBT.If I could comment about Magic playing trans people, I wish they put more effort into looking nice. Too many people pull up to the table they just rolled out of bed, just put on a graphic t-shirt with anime on it, and a trans-flair-button and say "I'm she/her, what are your pronouns?". Also some of the names they choose for themselves are funny, like a stripper-name, or a name a super-villain would have.The world is a crazy place and I'm not going to fault anyone for things like this.
>>98946366I keep track of my decks on tappedout and I sort my cards in 1000 count boxes by color. Multicolored cards are separated in the multicolored box by separators. They all live in this "Card House Storage Box" I got from BCW for like 20 bucks. Its incredibly cheap and basically perfect. I also keep a master list of all cards currently in decks using a program I vibe coded that converts my tappedout lists into a CSV file and sorts by color. I also use a sorting tray for when I actually handle my cards, highly recommended.
>>98946435I see a pile of staples and stax. I presume you had a sweaty deck to show off actually?
>my turn is going on a bit longer than expected because I drew into gas>playing it out in my head >someone in my pod asks who's turn it is
>>98946451>he doesn't fart on everyone with the catgirl and infect while holding the table in a strangleholdI used to run thoracle cancer, but that's not fun.
>>98946457One of the final redpills of becoming an actually good and competent player is realizing how unbelievably boring most two card infinite combos are
>>98946435>havent had an occasion to pull out GW Selvala since before crypt got bannedwho do you even play with, I can't find a single playgroup who even knows how the stack works let alone is willing to play with any kind of power.
>>98946436I, for one, will not be lumped in with trannies just because I am autistic.
>>98946463You're definitely not wrong. I only whip the sweat deck out when my pod has a friend of a friend situation, and said person demands to play cedh.>>98946465My LGS has a lot of people, and they generally fall into 3 groups.>quirk chungus B1/2 decks>B3 normal looking people (the vast majority)>B4/5 super basement dwellers (fat, balding, anime/mlp mats, stutter constantly, etc)
im going to magic con atlanta is anyone else going? pic unrelated
>>98946476oh so its my fault for wanting to play with normal peoplea small price to pay
>>98946484She's a canonical slut
>>98946484She kinda looks like this one holo vtuber
>>98946488>wants to play mtg>normal peopleGranted UB brought in a ton of normies, but still.
>>98946484Yeah If you see an overweight man wearing an Innova pro team disc golf tee and a beat to shit Motorola shoulder bag come over and say hiI'm not even really sure what I'm going to do when I get there probably just spend like 10 hours looking through basic lands and play some low power edh.
>>98946166>As an additional cost to cast this spell, exile all creature cards from your graveyard and put a mask counter on each of them.>This spell costs {1} less to cast for each exiled creature card you own with a mask counter on it.
>>98946512its the other way around
>>98946367Thanks senpai
>>98946516Normal is obviously a relative term>UB brought in normiesdid it though? not so much in my neck of the woods. There's one guy who had his whole collection stollen and he decided to go all UB with the shit he buys now but I have not seen anyone else really fucks with UB
>>98946457I don't. "Oh everyone hold on while I draw through my entire deck for one of 3 infect sources." Is about as bland as I can think to make a deck already accused of being milquetoast.I run drain, rocks and discard. I drop removal and interaction every turn, including my opponents turns and if I somehow can't win healing, drawing and draining every second of every minute of every turn of every round, I lose.I still need to go through bulk to find a duskmage. Kind of surprised I didn't iron that out.
>>98946521"H-hey, is that you, um... Anonymous poster number 98946521..? wanna play against my doran the siege tower deck I haven't upgraded since 2018...?"what do you do?also ill try to remember that, I assume there are going to be a lot of overweight men with shoulder bags but I'll see what I can do. remember the calling code, the narwhal bacons at midnight
>>98946542>wanna play against my doran the siege tower deck I haven't upgraded since 2018...?BASED BASED BASED
>>98946435not really, just my boros deck which is kidna improving little by little.Fun fact, everytime an Yshtola deck appears in my lgs, is the first one to die. Like seriously, the hate is unreal.
>>98946516>>98946538I've known exactly one normie who dipped her toes in with UB. She and her bf bought Dr Who precons, played them once, made an instagram post about it, and then never touched the game again. I imagine it's much the same with most normies - they buy the stuff tied to their favorite franchise and then move onto the next thing to consume.
>>98946540>no Sigil of Sleep AKA fuck you no commander can ever be out>no fast mana, moxen, etc>no blue free shit trio (fierce, force x2)>lands aren't CEDH oops all fetches with duals>no oops all tutorsWith curiosity, ohpidian eye, and helm of the ghast, you can literally shit out a 2 card wincon near immediately. That, or playing all the free blue/black stuff lets you immediately swing an infect win in a single turn.
>>98946435I had a moment where I "quit" Magic (roughly spoiler season for the Spider-man set), and I sold / parted-with all of my ultra sweaty decks. I had Kinnan, Kess, & Kenrith decks that were somewhat sweaty.I only play bracket-2 these days though, nothing I play is really worth sharing.
>>98946581All decks are worth sharing. Also boy do I love Eldrazi.
>>98946436>I wish they put more effort into looking nice.This hobby has taught me a terrifying number of people are too lazy to even wipe their ass after taking messy shits, let alone shower. How they afford this hobby is beyond me, with impulse control like that I would think they'd be starving on the streets.
>>98946602>with impulse control like that I would think they'd be starving on the streetsNo joke I've got a chick with like green hair at my LGS who blew her entire savings on a deck. She now lives in Section 8 housing.
>>98946523Based on Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad the check for exiled cards with a counter would need rewording but I think it's better now.
>>98946609better at least been full of the correct printings I'll bet it isnt though
>>98946609>who blew her entire savings on a deckI'm curious now, how expensive?
>>98946574Thanks EDHrec, I'll be sure to vomit as much money into the deck as possible for the approval of internet retards at my earliest opportunity. With your help I can make the most boring ass stax deck the world has ever seen.And, "no fast mana"? Do you just not know what a fucking ritual is?
>>98946617the "additional cost" and the "this spell costs 1 less" need to be separated into two sentences so that it's clear to players that they are two unique instances (because they are)
>>98946436>names they choose for themselves are funny, like a stripper-nameKnew a dumb bitch who named her daughter "Mystik Jewelz" (that exact spelling)That's as tranny-stripper a name as I've ever heard.
>>98946622It was random shiny shit, lots of it UB, and not particularly functioning as a cohesive deck either.>>98946626Easily $4,000+. It was basically the SLD fancy foil versions of every game changer just jammed into a Jodah (with the Spongebob version, of course) deck.
i can already imagine the septum ring and her political opinions
>>98946627Like it or not, cards are on edhrec because they're actually good. That doesn't mean you should just jam in the top 10 cards amd call it a day, but a lot of them are on the list for a reason.>ritualsRituals don't answer your needs in a Yshtola deck. Also you have some of the right stuff to run (e.g. deadly rollick), but then you're missing the others like the blue trio. The other problem is you're running 2cmc rocks. Yshtola either wants 3cmc (not really ideal, save this for instants), or 0cmc (chrome, diamond, amber, opal, petal, etc). You also want constant pressure options like Sigil of Sleep, Decorum Dissertation from Strix, and so on. Restoration Seminar can also be used with the sac asshole setup like Marauder, Fleshbag, and Garry.

>>989467056/10 too timmyimskar is just a draw spell for a rakdos artifact combo deck
>>98946714welp, I am just a casualfag who play commander in a tabletop group from time to time. Also the only reason I am building it is because i got a foil one from a friend.What can i do to improve it a little without costing me a kidney and a lung?
>>98946705I feel you are losing too much life from your spells (yeah you start with 40 life but still).
>>98946714>being this reductionistwhy do you even play edh?
>>98946412It doesn't work that way.Can I list off an itemized recollection of my enitre collection? No.But if you ask me "do you have phantasmal bears" I can say "Yes! 4 copies!" or "How about lightning bolt?" "Yes, 6 m10/m11 copies"Context dependent memory, do don't need to have the whole thing down by rote, just know what you have and in the correct context you'll remember.Or maybe my generation can do this and yours can't because we grew up without devices glued into our hands 24/7.
>>98946665What part of my previous response has reinforced your delusion that I was looking for deckbuilding advice? "Just replace a buck fifty of talismans with 13 Benjamins of cheerios... then get some true duals"? Are you fucking high? There's having more money than sense and then there's having more money than taste.
>>98946808i'm not a mind reader i can't know what cards tickle someone's subjective funny bone
>>98946827Anon, things like Sigil of Sleep, Ophidian Eye, Helm of the Ghast, and Decorum cost like $10 total. The rocks and duals are the least of your concerns.
>>98946833>If I can't give an easy flippant answer, I give up
>>98946878i'd rather be honest and advise on power rather than be flippant and say 'add iron man for the lolz' just for the sake of saying something
>>98945335I hear you are putting together a team. You might need this.
>>98946890I dont see the difference
How good are the summons from FF in your experience?
>>98946898skill issue
>>98946906>flippant shitty response >againhave you ever had a real conversation in your life? That's not even my list, but would it kill people to actually talk about the game?
>>98946928you sound upset for an anon that hasn't given a rating for the imskar deck
>>98946937I don't play artifact decks, and by the sound of it neither do you
>>98946951>that imskar deck is totally more than a 6/10!!proof next thread?
>>98946902Fenrir is a standard "ramp spell that maybe lines up with your synergy pieces" like fertillid or Steve.Cerberus never seemed to work out for me. The precon ones are fine, except ixion. Jimbo is surprisingly good, especially if you're recurring him or removing counters.Titan is another splendid rec.Leviathan does sea monster things.And everyone loves KotR and bahamut.
>>98946969From what I could tell, that was neither what I said, nor what anon was asking forway to prove my point
>>98946981Hey thanks that sounds quite promising, I should look into a summoner deck
>>98946871Do you think repeating yourself is going to make me nod and say "oh yes, that's a good idea, why didn't I think of that before" and not just say "everybody already knows about that you dipshit three out of four of those are literally the in first five cards in the 'high lift' category of EDHrec".Perhaps it wasn't clear from my first reply, so I'll spell it out for you: I'm not looking to out 'sweat' you with the 'better' deck. I'm calling you a fucking retard for giving miserable deckbuilding advice. You are the less the fish that likes draw as much as a beached whale that cannot stand the idea of not drawing less than half their deck in a turn cycle. I've got a ton of fucking looting effects and discard payoffs ripping through the deck; of course it can be faster and meaner; Ophidian Eye is so obvious I have one sitting in my boxes somewhere probably, I just haven't seen the need to slot it in. Ghastlord and Sleep are great if you hate playing against opponents who have boards or hands, or both.You may have noticed a difference in approach and philosophy earlier if you had read my fucking post instead of going off about the "right way" to build Y'shtola; as if the mouse brain you have rattling around in your skull going "I KNOW, POISON COUNTERS" and having it work well wasn't evidence of some degree of versatility.
