Working on Captain Sisay right now, snagged a cheap Eladamri's Call from the local FLGS for it. My favorite deck is Karlov though.

>>51729354

currently working on Bant enchantress pillow fort deck, just got most of the remaining pieces, but unfortunately the commander I wanted, angus Mackenzie, is $80, so I'm gonna roll with Rubinia soul singer in the meantime, though I probably won't cast her very often (in testing I wasn't casting angus Mackenzie all that often either

Most recent card I purchased was treachery for the enchantress deck. Treachery is an incredible card, it's already amazing just as a "free" steal your shit spell, but untapping your lands is actually so powerful that the more important use of the card in my deck is actually as a combo piece, I'll use it and gain control of my own creature because all that matters is I have a mana doubler or two and a enchantress or two and I'm casting every enchantment in my deck

Eventually I find copy enchantment to make more mana, and then cloudstone curio to make infinite mana

>>51729354
I only have Emrakul at the minute, but I'm buying stuff in order to build Rashmi, Vela and Anax & Cymede. I think Emrakul will continue to be my favourite though, it's fun already, and it'll be even better when I upgrade the land base and put in oppressive cards like Torpor Orb.

>>51729354
>>51729759

Forgot to answer favorite deck, mine is probably captain sisay actually, I have so much fun with it, GW is my favorite color combo, and captain sisay is my oldest deck that I still have all complete. Azami wizards is also incredibly fun though, might be my favorite

Hey /edh/ I posted in the earlier thread about wanting to get into commander with the Breya precon. Unfortunately my Walmart had sold out but some anon said something about Atraxa so I purchased this instead. Is Atraxa just as good? I only wish it was in English but it was the only one they had.

>>51730348

Howling mine/Dictate of kruphix, minds aglow, prosperity, arcane denial/dream fracture, clones/steal effects, evacuation/devastation tide, forbid, arcane laboratory, stasis

>>51730380
>finds japanese atraxa precon at MSRP
>complains about it
Are you real?

>>51730380

Breya and atraxa are both good in different ways, the precons come with some decent cards in them too

>>51729354
>>What's the most recent card you've purchased and what deck was it for?
Redirect Damage. Used for my kalemne deck to re-route blasphemous act to a insta-kill.

>>51729354
Most recent was Atraxa infect
purchased tainted strike (guess the deck)
Fave is Jhin Gitaxias or atraxa

>>51730450
Yes I'm just wondering if it's good or not because it's my first edh deck. I'm not complaining about it being foreign I've just got to look up all the new cards to see what they do

>>51729197
Playing krenko goblins, have a fuckload on board with hostility and purph in play, top deck burn at the stake, tap EVERYTHING to nuke the fuck out of one dude, prevent damage dealt to fill the board with hundreds of 3/1s to kill everyone with Purph etb

>>51729354
>What's the most recent deck you've completed and/or the deck you're currently working on?
Last deck I completed was my Kozilek deck. Currently working on Yidris, and trying to re-build my old Marath deck.
>What's the most recent card you've purchased and what deck was it for?
I picked up a few Tops for all my decks. I fucking love Top.
>What's your favorite deck?
Probably my Kokusho deck. I made it practically as soon as I heard it was unbanned and never looked back.

>>51730546

In all honesty you might be able to sell a Japanese atraxa precon mint on eBay for enough to buy an English Breya precon and a few singles to upgrade the deck

>>51730714
>>51730546

Especially since as a new player, having to look up what each and every card does is actually a major problem

>>51730785
Yeah, sell the Atraxa precon and get whichever you want in English.

The Japanese one is pretty rare.

>>51730785
I mean I'd like to play with it if I could. I'm not really into flipping sealed product. There are a few other Walmarts within driving distance so I might be able to find some more cool stuff. They also had a few 2015 precons but no Meren or I would have bought her too

>>51729354

>>51731003

How the hell does that even happen?

Also, you could open the packaging, take out the deck, put in 100 basic lands, go to walmart and saying you want to return it. They won't check the contents and they will give you your money back.

>>51731154

I'm primarily just running him as an Equipment/Aura Voltron Commander.
He's got such an insane amount of card draw.
However I'm probably going to alter the deck to have more Hexproof, as that's where it can fall down.

I'm missing most of the really good Equipments, but that's because I build decks on a budget.

>>51730380
breya is the best c16 precon out of the box and atraxa is a close second

honestly i would take that atraxa precon and sell it then order breya on ebay or something because that atraxa deck is going to be worth a shit load

>>51731127

I have a Feast and Famine invention, never played...

>>51731085
ghave

>>51732054
I was looking up all the cards inside and their values and Atraxa is 20 fucking dollars. All I paid for that deck was 36. I haven't opened it yet, I'd like to have both Atraxa and Breya. If I find an English on I won't open it and put it on eBay or something but I would like to have most of the cards inside

>>51729354
>>51729354
>What's the most recent deck you've completed and/or the deck you're currently working on?
Can't decide between finishing out Alesha or Hidetsugu. Leaning more towards Alesha; I've been putting off building it since I cracked a foil one in a draft.
>What's the most recent card you've purchased and what deck was it for?

alright guys I want to build an Yidris Chaos deck, running cards that cascade into spells like hypergenesis, living end, wheel of fate and with enchantments such as hive mind, vernal equinox and possibility storm.

is it possible to make such deck actually have a way to go into "now I want to win" mode? what cards should I run for a chaos deck?

>What's your favorite deck?
Probably my Avacyn deck but I don't get to play it much because my friends bitch and moan everytime I pull it out, even though the most degenerate thing it can do is just some one-sided MLD that I've never even pulled off.

>>51733289
there's too many options anon.

I'd just recommend you buy a preconstructed EDH deck, then are probably the only preconstructed product WotC make that is actually good.

>>51733289
Just google some cheap commander decks and look around for whatever one suits your fancy the most.

Frankly, EDH decks all rely on what you find the most fun. For some, its throwing spells until you puke. For others, its filling the board with permanents constantly.

SO you guys seem like the place to seek advice, used to be big into MTG, have been out of it for several years since university. Recently rediscovered a box with a bunch of stuff in it. Is there a decent place to sell without getting ripped off that doesn't involve relearning what's in-demand?

>>51733920
You could just mail it to me, I'll treat them well, I promise.

Seriously though, if you want to sell them without looking up the prices you're going to be taking a leap of faith no matter where you sell to. Your best bet is probably one of the major online trading websites.

>>51733920
Go to a game store and ask for an assessment, make it clear that you aren't going to be selling it to them so they don't lowball you.

Or just post pics of all the rares, mythics and uncommons.

>>51733978

Mycosynth isn't needed since they changed the rules. Stuff like vivid lands, fellwar stone, gilded lotus, chromatic lantern, your opponents lands, exotic orchard, etc. Are all more all purpose, which is something you want with send triplets, since they are never in play because of how big a removal magnet they are. You will be able to play removal out of their hand, so instead of giving STP over to you, you bet your ass they are going to cast it instead. They also make it easy to combo off because the targeted player can't really stop you on their turn.

Telepathy, urza's glasses, grand abolisher, conqueror's flail.
Be sure to get the mono artifact version of urza's glasses Since it misses the tap symbol you might be able to convince noobs that it's static. It's a legitimate strategy since it's in flavor

There are 3 big ways to build sen triplets. Steal your shit tribal, artifact control, or removal, counterspell and hatebears tribal.

The last one is the best version imo. Sen triplets is no kidding one of the biggest removal magnets in the format, you absolutely need protection if you want to actually use the effect. The last version is also fun since every game will pack out very differently, since you have to use your opponent's win condition.

I'm currently working on Feldon, it's very interesting so far but needs a lot of tweaking.

I bought a foil Spellskite for my Bolas Dragon deck cause it's a really nice card to have available.

Atm my best and most trustworthy deck is my Nicol Bolas Dragon deck. (All my money is in that deck) But I'm also really liking my new Tymna/Vial Smasher deck.

What, pray tell, is the most effective/fun way to play her?

>>51733298
Shattergang Brothers and Grand Arbiter Augustin IV both have potential as Stax commanders.

For Group Hug you could try Zedruu or the new Gay Greeks.

i decided to add some big ass creatures to my Freyalise deck as alternative wincon as shitting elves and fishing for overrun effects got a bit stale after a year of playing it.

what are some nice creatures that i could add other than craterhoof and eldrazi titans?

>>51737997
Vorinclex.

>>51737997
Freyalise generates a ton of mana right? Get the green firebreathers like Killers Bees, Unyaro Bees and Ursapine+trample source

>>51737845
I'm glad you ask, anon.

Zedruu is, first and foremost, a great card draw engine. To be honest, the most fun way is up to everyone's personal taste, but I can tell you that the "bad gifts" Zedruu strategy is short-sighted. It's what I call "basic bitch Zedruu". You read her ability and it's the first thing you think of. "Oh yeah, I'm going to fuck up my opponents with a Grid Monitor, Steel Golem and Pyromancer's Swath!"

It's an easily-disruptable strategy, it's very transparent, and it's going to turn the whole table against you. Not to mention all those times where you will end up stuck with those bad cards on your side of the table.

What I found about playing Zedruu is that you wants to be inconspicuous and appear group-huggy, until you have enough card advantage to go all-out and turn the game in your favor and win in whatever way you prefer.

I personally run her as a pillowfort combo with Enduring Ideal, and it's never not fun to play with the deck. The most "bad-gifts" cards I play are Illusions of Grandeur and Statecraft, but those are useful for you when you have them, unlike Swath, etc.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ideal-zedruu/

>>51737845
not that guy but lock/enchantment control feat. Enduring Ideal is a pretty strong version. That's my Zedruu, but mine is disguised as a grouphug version. They all love drawing cards off Temple Bell until I land Mind Over Matter and win on the spot. Or all 'ha ha chaos' when I play Possibility Storm and then when I spam boardwipes before hitting Enduring Ideal and tutor into Rule of Law suddenly we're playing 'no-fun' and 'bullshit locks.'
Zedruu is a passive card advantage engine that you don't even need except in cases of Solitary Confinement.
She's not super strong but she's my most competitive deck for sure. The deck to play when the general powerlevel is high.

>>51737224
I've just built 5 Color Zada and I need to tune my list somewhat.
I've not really taken it out yet, played three games with it.
First was against heartless hidetsugu, Ghave and BUG zombies. I combo'd out turn 5 through a little interaction. Heartless tried to Chaos Warp my Jeskai Ascendancy and I managed to instant speed draw my entire deck and win off a flashed in Lab Man.
The second and third games were against Rashmi, Eternities Crafter, Rafiq and my own Zedruu and I got smashed both games without doing anything.

I recently sold my entire Magic collection, feels good man.

except for my EDH decks

Would Pauper EDH be a half-decent option for a group with a lot of pack fodder lying around?

>>51729354
1. Currently working on breya, breya vehicles, nissa, kokusho, molimo, and sigarda. I have the pieces and sleeves but I've been too lazy to assemble the decks. There are other budget decks that I'm thinking of building.
2. Recent cards that I've bought are lifeline, malachite talisman, nacre talisman, onyx talisman, and a few other cards that i forgot.
3. I'm not sure which deck to call my favorite but i guess I'll say daretti. It's fun blowing up the field but i only use it when other people are using degenerate decks

Narrowed my commander choices to Derevi, Roon, Rubinia, and Jenara. Who is most fun for a Aggro/Control or Midrange style?

>>51734736
Sheoldred was my first good commander so I've rocked the monoblack life for a long time. I got hated out of our game yesterday, because everyone flips out when you shit out a turn 2 necropotence but ignores our friend who has Survival of the Fittest out.

Sometimes I hate my legacy-lite group.

I've never seen Roon at helm, but had a guy who plays primarily Bant feature it in his 99, always looked like it put in good work when it was out, so I'd have to advise it.

>>51738974
>>51739207
No. It's an activated ability, so you'd have to use Rings of Brighthearth. Do also keep in mind it has a rider where it can only target opponents it dealt damage to, so if you wanted to copy it effectively, you'd also have to have an extra combat where you swung hope at someone else. I run him as a commander, and admittedly, I just use him as a vanilla 1/1 flyer voltron to great success. It's fun dropping your commander turn 1 every game.

So one day we stuffed our decks with as much removal as possible and prevented him playing the game.
He still only plays those two decks but he is less annoying about it.

Completed was Mizzix. Though I still want to go out and buy a Mana Geyeser and Banefire for the deck. Mana Geyeser because the deck already runs Pyretic Ritual and Seething Song and used to run Inner Fire and rituals just do work. Banefire is just to have another X Burn Spell and act as a win condition if I can combo off and it just looks so fucking cool.

Most recent deck I started work on was Atraxa counter matters. Which is mostly just the precon with some very light changes. I am still unsure which direction I want to go with all the counters but I do want to try and sneak in some kind of reanimator subtheme into the deck.
>What's the most recent card you've purchased and what deck was it for?
Thada Adell, Game Day Jori En, and Baral, Chief of Compliance. Jori and Thada are for a second RU deck. At first I was thinking of just making it Jori En but I might make it into Arjun. Still unsure but the deck has a bunch of artifacts and merfolk and wizards.

I thought about this but my playgroup either doesn't play counterspells or is too "noob" to remember they can cast instants in the opponent's turn, so it's kinda useless, but here's a few cards I've considered:

1 Karmic Justice
1 Archfiend of Depravity
1 High Priest of Penance
1 Authority of the Consuls
1 Mystic Barrier

It's not about counterspells. You said you want your commander to be hard as fuck to get rid of. Obzedat is only on the battlefield on your turns. When you play grand abolisher your opponents can't do anything against your commander.

You play more instant speed answers and disrupt their combos

My playgroup banned food chain and tooth and nail, then unbanned a bunch of ridiculous cards that don't necessarily make infinite combos like prime time and sundering Titan

Honestly land destruction is stupid as fuck, you just play all the mana rocks you can afford and all the land destruction and you basically can't lose unless

A-an opponent is also on the all-mana-rocks plan
B-an opponent managed to combo so fast you didn't even have time to wipe lands, how can they do this? Mana rocks

So once you start playing stax/MLD, you lead your meta down a very narrow path

Not yet. But I'm probably going to be the guy who does it. Slobad and Ghave are both making their debut this weekend.

Who is the best Bant commander I can pick if I wanna go down a psuedo Aggro-Control or Aggro-Combo based strategy?

>>51744648
Rafiq

>>51744648

Aggro is not an edh archetype really, but I would say Derevi is actually the best. play it like an Edric deck but with white

Now some people say "aggro" when they just mean they want to beat down as their wincon, if that's the case, you can do roon, as a ramp deck with flicker value and win by beating down with stuff like avenger of zendikar

>>51744857
Literally have never even heard of magic card market before just now. Are they an EU only thing?

>>51744708
Yeah that is my main win con, Beat down. I would not mind some kind of combo hidden somewhere in the back of the deck but not my main thing. I will probably get Roon and Derevi, and let Derevi lead with Roon in the 99 to see how it works

>>51744870
yup, MCM is europe only

>>51744728
TCGPlayer.

Between those two, Card Kingdom. I dealt with them before and theyre nice to do business with, aside from overpriced cards

I bought a Banefire, animate dead, and Life//Death today.

Planned out next future purchases too. Kind of hoping there's a small drop in shockland prices if they get printed in Mondern Masters 3 because I don't feel like shelling out 12 bucks for a Breeding Pool. I'm not sure how popular my opinion is but I feel landbases are the kind of thing that shouldn't be at the rare rarity. Uncommon and common rarities to make manafixing just more accessible and deckbuilding more interesting at say a draft level.

>>51745437
>building Nekusar, requesting ways to stop people from attacking me
Don't build Nekusar. People are going to see his dumb skeleton ass and immediately go for you because he's efficient. Unless you can somehow hype up some other player as a bigger threat you are walking in the game with a big "KICK ME" sign on your face.

I lent a friend a box full of random basic lands for a draft, and I know for a fact they're not coming back, so I ordered a bunch of cheap basic lands with art I liked (50 of each), and a few cards I need for Lazav

>>51744182
I made this deck a while ago, it has almost all the blue stax carda in it.
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/kami-of-the-crescent-moon-staxstasis-edh/

I used the shopping wizard on mcm a few days ago to see what the cheapest options for my kozilek deck were, and it had all the cards I need for 130 bucks.

But I just did it again now, because I want to actually buy it now, and suddenly the shopping wizard settles on 230 bucks as the cheapest option.

Anyone experienced this before, what's the deal?

Yup, bonus points for you anon. I'm also building a big black deck with these super sexy unglued swamp sleeves I just bought. Yaheeni seems like the logical commander, but I just want to make it some ungodly rampy monstrosity.

>>51745881
No, I mean shiny. I judge cards purely on the fanciness of their art, and the shine of their foiling. On an unrelated note, the new foiling process is slick looking, get the basics while you can, they're gorgeous.

I decided to change up my bosh deck, and I narrowed it down to these two commanders,
Which one should I build?

Karn gets style points for being Karn and completely colorless with weird interctions like infinite mana, recurring with Nim Deathmantle, and beating people to death with a 1500/1500 Gilded Lotus, but Kurkesh has access to red, and his ability is pure value from generating tons of if not infinite mana, being a rings of brighthearth in the command zone, and card draw, from cards like trading post, hedron archive, and salvaging station with cards like conjurors bauble.

When you don't know what to do with your mana, go drana

>>51745862
No, I never do.

>>51745949
My big black mana monstrosity switches between Maga, Erebos and Drana as commander. I was thinking of Kokusho and chainer as a possible one too, but they require more focussed support.

>>51746147

I dunno then. Maybe they were already sold

Sidisi Vizier ad nasaeum combo deck.

>>51746275
*ad nauseum

>>51746120
>Drana
Neat, I'll think about it. The non-tap part of the ability is really alluring, and I bet it will be super strong in my meta.

>>51746185
I don't really like erebos as a commander. I mean, in an Oloro meta I can see using him, but otherwise, he seems... underwhelming. Naga and Kukusho are patrician tier, though the recursion package for both Kokusho and chainer is very involved.

>>51746330
An oloro deck won't give two shits if he isn't gaining life.

He will just crush you under the value of a 3 color deck with access to blue vs your 1 color.

>>51739446
You were better off doing nothing than to make a roll post

What's the flavor of Commander?

Is the commander sort of a leader of your deck's arsenal, or the player avatar?

>>51746330
Erebos is by far the best monoblack control commander there is. He draws you cards like Maro on fucking crack, and with monoblack's lifegain in things like exsanguinate you'll be able to fuel your card drawing extremely well. The lifegain shutdown is just an extra.

>>51746495
Gisa and Geralf leading an army of zombies.

>>51740458
>Can I find room for Grand Aboli-

Yes. The answer is always 'Yes'. That fucker is one of White's best hatebears. I would cut indestructibility unless there is a non-creature permanent that you really like protecting. I'm also shocked you aren't running the W/G Leylines for self-Hexproof and Creature spells being uncounterable

>>51746495
The former

You're still a dick-ass planeswalker, the commander is just, well, the commander that you delegate specific tasks to.

Though the commander being the player could definitely work as fluff, I don't think that's the intended effect

>>51746495

The commander is your stand. Yes, that is a JJBA reference.

>>51746495
In all iterations of magic post-mending you are a planeswalker, and your deck is every spell you can possibly know, yoir hand being what comes to mind. Your commander is an extremely familiar creature to you, as it's always in your repertoire of known spells. You can consider it a familiar, or a close ally which happens to be a plane bound entity, who you can always recall fondly enough to conjur a copy of. Unless you're playing a planeswalker as your commander, in which case, whatever.

I haven't thrown this out for a while. Anyone have any fun Omnath combos? I haven't played the deck in months. I already blade of selves

>>51739837
I don't think she does anything. At least that was my result. You can kill everything, but I think you have to make her a combo deck to win the game.

>>51747880

Not really a combo, but Mina and Denn really work well with Angry Omnath, especially if you aren't drawing the lands you need to or have no ramp. Parallel Lives is a must as well.

>>51747513

It hurts, anon

>>51744145
>Stax. You have to be the fun police.

One of my friends is always building new decks that are very competitive, but we love it because he provides the spice to our playgroup.

But with that being said I built a stax deck for that exact reason but only used it briefly before turning it into a pillowfort/voltron deck...

Stax kills me inside a little bit every time I play it.

>>51748963
It's definitely an "I'm only bringing this out because you're all running degenerate bullshit" kind of deck. Luckily none of my current kitchen table runs incredibly competitive decks.

Stop being bad. Taplands are bad. taplands with downside are worse.

1MB, 996x566px

Question for all of you, how many of you go out of your way to buy shocklands for all your decks? Do you proxy them instead since the cost racks up? Or do you just skip playing shocklands in some decks?

Calling all Simic players. I'm gonna be building my first edh deck and was gonna make Simic for the flavor and my favorite guild. Anyone who plays the color help me with which commander would fit a Aggro-Control or Aggro-Combo type of vibe?

>>51749727
Just buy the ezuri precon and add in a few singles like
>champion of lambholt
>sage of hours
>mynocloth

>>51749574
Not him, but bouncelands can be okay if you have landfall, positive ETBs on different lands which admittedly are suboptimal taplands, most often , or are expecting a winter orb.

>>51738332
Roon is really fun, blink control, can be built to combo pretty well too

What's the best way to shut down a person whose wincon in every deck but one is "Go infinite"? I'd really prefer a way just to shut down infinite combos without going Full Stax so this guy can't spend his time jacking off while we all watch but everybody else can continue to play.

>>51749961
Jester cap and fuck his combos.

>>51749689
>shocklands
>expensive
Many are under $10 right now. What are you talking about?

>>51745437
I have a nekusar deck, there's a general rule I have when playing him, and that's to sandbag hard. Don't put too much attention to yourself until you can cast one thing, waste not comes to mind, and then wheel.
If you build your deck too reactive, then it gets harder to go off. If you're interested in comboing off outta nowhere, building around paradox engine could be good.

>>51749961
Possibility storm
That blue spell that exiles everything in the stack
Jesters Cap

I wonder, does Eidolon of the great revel count?

>>51745437
Propaganda/Collective Restraint
Dissipation Field/Dread/No Mercy

>>51750090
I consider anything over 5 dollars to be an expensive card. Granted it's not a lot of money but it still adds up. I'm looking at all the shocklands with green in them right now and the cost would come out to something like 31 dollars for 3 pieces of cardboard. So I'm thinking of maybe just proxying them for the time being until I can afford them.

But that's why I'm asking the question. With people that have a high number of decks, especially in multicolor, what do you do with your manabase? Do you invest in it for every deck or do you start proxying or just go in an play with suboptimal manabases?

>>51750076

Fuck I can't believe I didn't think of that. Most of his infinite combos are two or three card combos, (four if you count commanders) and he typically doesn't have a secondary wincon that's also infinite. Fucking perfect, thank you.

Anybody have any experience playing with a Thallid/Fungas deck? I'm aiming for a fairly relaxed deck that's more fun to play with kitchen table type players since most of what I've got is too strong for that sort of thing

>>51747880
Perilous forays and stone seeder hierophant

>>51750448
Would be fun if only there were more out there to work with. Thelon doesn't work well with any fungi outside of thallids, and there's not really very many thallids, and certainly not many good ones.

Also ideally, a thallid commander would be Abzan colors because there are white thallids, too.

>>51750190
>everything over a fiver is expensive

Maybe this hobby isn't for you.

>>51750448
I used ghave as the commander for fungus and thallids. It was fun to play but i broke it apart years ago cause it's a casual deck. Keep in mind if you use ghave, let people know that it's extremely casual since thallids and fungus aren't as strong as goblins and elves. Ghave has a reputation for being degenerate

>>51750448
I put together a really fun thelon fungus tribal deck not that long ago, it's a whole lot of fun and a suprise to the rest of the table when you overwhelm them with saprolings and fungus's. Would you like a link to my list? It's less than 20 dollars too, super budget.

>>51751253
Not him, but I'd love a list.

>>51751256

>>51732333

>>51745584
Personally I find it really fun to place a huge target on my face and make the game 3v1.

>>51750831
i don't blame him for thinking that way, im just glad these battlelands and tapped fetches are good alternatives to the abur, shock and fetch lands

>>51748170
The competutive build is stax with a combo finish. She lends herself well to graveyard combos though.

If youre playing casually tokens + etb with our photos, cathars crusade, impact tremors etc. Is fun.

>>51751439
>tapped fetches
>good alternatives
I'd honestly rather not run any fetches at all than tapped ones

I sincerely am not trolling when I post this. Do ya'll have any recommendations for this Boros deck?

But in that case why not shell out for normal fetches.

Puh-lease. When it comes to hobbies, MTG is one of the cheapest out there. Here, from the top of my head, a list of hobbies that are about - if not more - expensive than cardboard:
>video gaming? check
>electronics? check
>photography? check
>model building? check
>warhammer/40k? check
>cosplay? check
>any collecting hobby? check
>any sport? check
>alcoholism? check

If you are not in a position yet of having a decent amount of disposable income for a hobby, you work within your means and work towards said position. But blaming the hobby itself is just plain stupid.

>>51751740
>>51751904
So people hate UGx because it's... Good? I don't really understand this meme.

>>51752035
because all UGx decks play the same staples and are too similar in content., while more creative decks in the combination suffer for not using the staples.

but a lot of it is just because it's good. Card draw and mana ramp too strong for mono red babbies
t. Mono red babby

>>51751986
Video games aren't that expensive. You can get some good games via sales or second hand market, borrow them from friends or play the ones you have more than once.

Same goes for consoles. Just don't get them on release and you easily save a hundred bucks. Can't do that with magic

>>51751986

>>any sport? check

Oh that's a complete fucking lie and you know it, especially for team sport where the required equipment is generally "A pair of decent shoes" and literally nothing else.

>>51745348
>Void Stalker just incase they fix the tuck rule
They already fixed it for the better, ya dingus

>>51749574
But they let you hit land drops much more consistently and they work well with untap effects like OG Garruk.

As long as your meta isn't running targeted land destruction, they're a great budget alternative.
