>What's your favorite enormous creature?
Small in stature but enormous in ability

What's a good reactive and/or interactive spellslinging commander?
I don't want the regular 30_minute_turn_into_storm.dec or durdle_until_infinite_combo.dec, I just want instant/sorcery synergy and less focus on creatures than my other decks.

>Favorite enormous creature
You already posted him. Thromok is easily the most fun Timmy deck I've ever played. The first time I took it out with my playgroup, they didn't understand what Devour X meant, so they were extremely caught off guard when a 100/100 Thromok with haste hit the field. Now it's basically impossible for me to keep him in play for more than 1 turn cycle since Gruul doesn't have much in the way of counters or giving hexproof/indestructible.

>>51866020
Mizzix never hurts at the command zone of a spellslinging deck.

Riku may be used as a doubler of utility spells, so does Melek. Jeleva to cast them for free if they are really big and you want black.

Here's mine. Haven't updated the list for a while though

>>51866032
Gruul has everything for giving hexproof nigga, it's the best hexproof color there is. Also, regenerate.

But do you have a list? I'm planning on building daddy thrommy.

>>51866032
>Thromok
My nigga. My playgroup thought devour x meant "devour two creatures, now it's a 2/2". Then my 121/121 thromok entered with a warstorm surge on the field, killing my first opponent, then attacked with haste and trample (fires of yavimaya and the rage pit), slamming another fool, and then got sacrificed to altar of dementia, killing the last opponent.

After that they were a little more wary.

>>51866020
Nekusar and leovald sling spells well. Both are cancer but both are fun. You can also play tasigur if you are a fan of fof and want to throw the same spells many times.

>>51866116
Wouldn't that be simic?

>>51866276
Yeah, simic would be the best 2 color combo, I said gruul instead of green, my bad.

Anything with green has good protection options for creatures though.

My beautiful new Land Tax has just arrived, and I'm agonizing over what to remove to add it to my deck. Not sure whether I can afford to take out a land (a basic? Prairie Stream?). Wouldn't that leave me too few lands?

Best feel

Just a reminder that the singleton format doesn't do anything to negate the fact EDH is rapidly moving to widespread optimization with strictly better piles of 99.

>>51867647
But it has no tournaments and no metagame, and it is being played in isolated playgroups, which means that the quality of your deck doesn't have to be top-notch to compete.

>>51867596
If you're drawing a new grip every turn, your opponents should be crushed by sheer card advantage long before that's an issue.

Also, there's cards to shuffle your graveyard back into your library just in case.

>>51867647
Negate? No. Slow down? Yes.

The biggest thing to counteract 'optimization with strictly better piles' is people who acknowledge that their decks are suboptimal, but don't give a fuck because they're playing for grinz instead of winz.

>>51867668

>no metagame
>isolated playgroups

Have you seen EDHREC?

>>51867647
Ehhhh, this logic doesn't work well because it's a multiplayer format. If two players are running similar decks, but one has cards that are all slightly more subpar, I will aim for the guy with the better cards first because I assume I will have better odds when it comes down to the 1v1 later on. In this way running weaker cards is superior. It's pretty hard to solve multiplayer.

>>51867715
EDHREC is not an accurate microcosm of EDH playgroups, and I'd bet money that there's more groups that never utilize it than groups who do.

I have zur doomsday and an untouched precon (red 2015) what should I make for the times when I dont want to roll face but also want to play a non-precon deck

give me your 75% meme decks

>>51867715
Anon, EDHrec is supposed to give you starting points, not craft your deck for you.

>>51867715
EDHREC is literally "Timmy's allstars" for a certain general, it is by no means a guide to optimizing a ceompetitive deck.

>>51867739

So bullying keeps the format in check? How is this an argument against the phenomemon of increasing optimization? Do you realize that each player in a multiplayer game can use an optimized deck? Do you think that people can have fun playing with fully optimized decks?

I understand that some people don't care about being competitive, but EDH is slowly becoming another powerlevel shitfest.

not him, but yes, in the way that you will get bullied out of a group entirely if all the stuff you play is boring scrubby spike shit, ie. tutor wincons as soon as possible

>>51867818
Where I play EDH has already divided itself into Comp & Casual. Casual pretty much just means no infinite loops (infinite mana in general is a gray area that varies by individual) or MLD.
Powerwhale cancerspikes get their "play solitaire for 20 minutes and say 'I win'" games and jank-king bumblefucks can have their "6 turns of land drops into every leviathan the world has ever seen" games.

>>51867695
Now that you mention it, I run him in my Jhoira xbox huge guys deck and I'm pretty heavy on extra turns spells. I was thinking of taking one out for Time Reversal. It seems like it would work well with Jin plus be more fun overall

>>51867818
The format as a whole, no. Playgroups, yes. If you're the bigger threat, people will treat you like it, and you'll have a disproportionate amount of disruption aimed at you.

EDH -in some areas- is becoming a powerlevel shitfest, just like it has been since back when it wasn't called Commander. There is no 'global Commander metagame' to worry about. Some shops are still bashing Craw Wurms into each other, and some are full of Food Chain Tazri and Doomsday piles. What keeps the power level 'in check' is what that particular group decides is the breaking point where 'strong' becomes 'unfun'.

>>51867878
Expect a lot of hate leveled at you. Jin paints a motherfucker of a target on you because it turns it into Luck: the Topdecking for your opponents while you're drawing 8 cards a turn.

just because the people who make yoututbe content range from HOLY CRAP PALAKA WURM IS SECRET TECH to turn 3 doomsday doesnt mean the overall meta has changed
usually a group that goes through an arms race will look back at the more casual decks and eventually keep one or two highly tuned high tier decks but go back to brewing lesser ones.

THREAD QUESTION 2

How do you sort your collection?

>>51867920
Hey man, fuck you, Pelaka Wurm is fun.

>>51867920
Isn't that how the 'arms race' usually goes?

You start with '100 cards I own' or modified precons, build more synergistic and coherent decks, get to a breaking point where you're on the verge of dipping into Doomsday and Stax and shit, and either the group breaks or it jumps back to playing casual shit?

>>51867896
Yeah I pretty much expect that. People usually shit their pants when they see Jhoira and I'm target from turn one. I run a shitload of MLD and fewcounterspells to help defend. I want the rest of the table to have fun too though so it's mostly big Timmy creatures and less extra turns

>>51867957
I'm always in favor of "I swear it's not what it looks like" versions of hated Commanders.

>>51867909
Underrated post.
Also, plz show me your Molimo.

>>51867961
I mean it's not the usual super degenerate Jhoira. Here's the list: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/jhoira-of-the-big-dudes-and-ruined-friendships/. I'm trying to find a way to include Platinum Emperion and Tromokratis

>>51867920

How will the meta resist the inclusion of cards like Command Tower, Commander's Sphere, Opal Palace, and Command Beacon?

The format is a victim of its own success.

>>51868066
Pretty easily, since Opal Palace sucks in any deck that's not winning via Commander damage and Sphere/Beacon aren't even close to auto-includes, and Command Tower is barely worth the slot in 2 color decks and utterly worthless in mono?

>>51868095

...but they're still printing cards specifially for the format. I fear that this practice will only increase because the market is viable. As more and more cards are printed for EDH, they will become more and more widely adopted. This will eventually lead to centralized standards and lots of automatic inclusions.

I hope that I'm dead wrong, by the way.

>>51868182
That only could possibly apply if the cards are powercreeped to become significant inclusions.
The only one you listed that is any sort of strict improvement is Command Tower. And thus multicolor decks love to have a single one of their basic lands replaced by a card. Hardly format damaging.

>>51868066
>resist the inclusion of cards that are either mediocore or command tower
geez idk
Command tower is a great card, a signature card for the format and an extremely affordable card that is available to everyone. These are all good things. The other cards dont see that much play outside of specific decks that can abuse them
>paying 3 mana for a manarock
>ever

>>51868182
Dude, where have you been? They've been printing cards 'specifically for' Commander since it was still called EDH. It's just that until they officially recognized it they couldn't really do cards that interact specifically with the RULES the way Command Tower and Opal Palace and shit do.

And I think they know better than to go apeshit with Command Tower level 'auto-includes'. I'm a big fan of things like Opal Palace, which interact well with certain commanders, but aren't an auto-include in every deck. And they caught a lot of flak for Derevi and Oloro, so I think they're gonna be more careful about things that interact with the Commnader rules in unfun ways.

>>51868201
Only thing I dont really like is the commanders, who are only created to be commanders and thus often to optimized, like Atraxa, Ghave, Meren ,Derevi, etc

>>51868095
>Opal Palace sucks in any deck that's not winning via Commander damage
Ghave and his fuckbillion Saprolings say hi

>>51868228
Honestly, having to pay 1 extra mana to give Ghave one more counter isn't even worth the slot to me. I'd rather run Oran-Rief.

>>51868223
Strong commanders warp the format for optimization, sure, but that's mitigated by it being a multiplayer format.
When people see you playing Prossh, they know they have to behead you first.
And if everyone's playing combo-out cancerspike, then find a different playgroup.

>>51868288
>>vulturous zombie -> one with nothing
Anon, there is no synergy here. Just so you know.

>>51867818
"Bullying" (if that's what you want to call it) is the nature of a multiplayer format. Imminent threats are what people aim their removal at. While you could argue that some removal will always be better than others, you don't just have removal in the 99, you have to put ways to win in there too. People that use subpar threats in a group with a couple people running dangerous ones tend to get more ignored. Everyone will gun for a foodchain in tazri or prosh, people kill zur before he swings, etc. The best threats in the format are usually obnoxiously telegraphed, and people prepare for those and let lesser ones through. If I am holding up spot removal for foodchain that I think someone just tutored for, something derpy like mycoloth can get through.

The mycoloth player might also be keeping removal up for other big threats, and so on and so forth, but people don't have infinite pieces of removal. Usually you let the bad stuff through, and that gives it a better chance at sneaking a win.

That being said, metas can develop in wierd ways. I think what your saying is in an environment with no or little removal, just having the fastest 99 makes your deck the best, since you are all just trying to goldfish fast, and just one person alone can't police 3 other decks, so a meta shift is a group thing rather than one an individual can force.

>this tard bitching about power creep in EDH
No. Like people in this thread have been saying, unless you have a high power group, you build 2 or 3 "mean" decks, then never play them in favour of janky suboptimal bullshit, because Brago is literally never fun.

That being said, since the backlog of cards is so huge, unless you're rich, or dedicated, you will only have cards form when you thought cracking packs was cool, and whatever specific singles you've bought to flesh out your decks. This matters because it's logistically difficult to purchase a 100 card singleton deck online, particularly at a high price point, let alone understand how to build something not-terrible without getting blown out for months with a pile of incomprehensible garbage.

>>51868223

Game breaking commanders are found from every kind of printing, be it printed for Standard (Narset, Gitrog), other formats (Brago, Leovold), or are ancient history (Zur, Sisay).

I understand you took out Zombie for One, I'm wondering why the fuck you're playing it. If you cast One with Nothing with a hand of 6 lands, you draw 1 card. Yeah it's okay for getting your whole hand into the graveyard, but why not play better discard outlets that'd let you ditch lands one at a time for maximum value, or are usable more than once? Shit like Putrid Imp and Wild Mongrel?

turn 2-3 attempts at going off with 1 backup counterspell is not that rare of an occurence

I want to build Mimeoplasm but my playgroup is very casual (a lot of precons).

Do I just build him as self mill, turn him into a fatty beater, win with commander damage and avoid combo all together?

Made this pod deck in about an hour last night, beat my friend twice in a 1v1 but I usually play in groups of 3 or 4. Any feedback appreciated. Commander is just there for colours, going to swap to partnered commands when I figure out something to cut.

>>51869320
I was thinking you could build a pretty solid hatebears deck with him, i'm noob though so idk.

>>51867608
How are you supposed to win with Jori En without focusing on storm/infinites?

>>51868907
Only if you're doing the Planechase right and having a planar map to 'walk the blind eternities and not random deck chasing

>>51869329
You're insane, I though I was bad with sorting by color->set->card tossing out vanilla and anything more than two playset's worth.

>>51869388
Yeah, Kambal's not gonna fly there.

>>51869388
if you can get him out before a storm/ bomberman player gets their shit together im sure it will be extremely painful.

I don't have a very big collection yet so I just sort by color and rarity in two of those cardboard collection boxes.
If I have a card I use in multiple decks, I make a checklist card for it and sub in the real thing when I cast it. I have a small deckbox for the real copies.

Can EDH recommend me some good tech for Golgari vs Golgari/Abzan? I play a Nath deck and I get rekt by the likes of Meren and Karador quite regularly. I run Elephant Grass which helps quite a bit (if I manage to draw it), until they revive some shit like Painwrecker Ibex or Craterfuck Behemoth which they can just spend the surplus mana to command, or they simply repeatedly Terastodon away my entire setup.

>>51869550

Her foiling is so sad... thats easily the best photo ive seen of one. I got mine altered to world knit's art just for that reason

Selvala can be done with untaps but shes better off with lots of elves, making lots of mana and going for combos or craterhoof. I play a combo version and she can keep up with captain sisay.
even if you arent going for t1 competitive she can produce a LOT of mana very quickly. make sure you get her out on t2 and you will be laughing your way to victory very soon

this is my list
its a bit different now but its fun

>>51869634
You need more graveyard hate dude, I think you still get triggers if the discarded is exiled even

>>51869649
she identifies as male, shitlord.

>>51869691
I already run a fair bit, but it's simply not enough. Part of the problem is that reanimating the discarded creatures is supposed to be one of my wincons, but they have enough ramp that in case of grave hate they can just eventually hardcast all their shit without breaking a sweat.

>>51869634
Eater of dead?

>>51869731
So if the issue is that they're ramping too much for you to deal with...

Stop the ramping.

>>51869448
I play Jori-En with cheap mana rocks and a few cantrips to support. Play 1-two chepa rocks every turn and abuse her draw effect to constantly keep your hand refreshed and soon you'll have a fuck tonne of mana to dump into sea-creature fatties or a nice big X burn spell

In this deck, Hellkite Igniter is terrifying

>>51870063
This guy would be pretty awesome with the Cryptolith Rite I'm running, shame about the price though.

>>51870252
How do I stop somebody from ramping in G/B? Effects such as Smokestack hurt me more than them and I don't have landwipe spells in these colors.

>>51870420
Only 5$ on tcgplayer, that's not that bad.

>>51870444
Mishra's ankh

>>51870444
Depends how they're doing it. Land ramp? Put in things like Plow Under and Primal Command. Artifact ramp? Blow them the fuck up.

>>51870449
I already regretted spending that much on Scavenger Ooze (which does a good job but is only one piece of a 99 card pile), why must grave hate be so expensive
>>51870489
Keeping a decent life total is already a weakpoint of my strategy, this would just hurt me further more than them. Not to mention that I ramp too.
>>51870514
I can't run everything at the same time though, my deck is already spread fairly thin as it is. The problem is my control-centric strategy which fucks up a lot of people, in games with Meren and the likes he'll just mooch off my discard effects while I take the heat from everybody else for making them discard shit, and when it comes down to the two of us he'll have a better board state left due to being largely ignored for the whole game. I can't fight Meren alone since by the time I can Plow Under or whatever, he'll likely have a couple experience counters piled up and some shit in the grave ready to reanimate. There are only so many Bojuka Bogs/Tormod's Crypts/Scavenger Oozes/Necrogeneses/etc I can run without inconveniencing my own reanimator niche.

>>51870595
Then either you trim some shit to deal with them, or you lose.

Don't come asking for fucking advice and then just give an excuse as to why you won't take any of it.

>>51870595
>why is grave hate so expensive
It just hoses entire decks in modern/legacy so yeah, sucks but what can you do maybe you can find a beat up copy for a little less

>>51870616
I already said that Eater of the Dead should be a good fit though... I was hoping to discover whether there are any more color-hate black hosers available for green, or vice versa, such as the Elephant Grass I'm running.

Build another deck that can run better gravehate. Gaddock teeg has access to amazing gravehate, Sigarda is also a good option. These decks will fuck over Meren, but they won't feel as if they're just decks made to counter meren, they're just naturally good at it.

>>51870801
Man, I loved playing my Enchantress deck against this guy's Iname deck.

"Turn 2, Forest, enchant you with Wheel of Sun and Moon"

"Scoop."

>>51870801
My goal isn't to make Meren specifically cry, it's to improve my Nath deck so I don't get roflstomped by anything good at running a reanimation strategy, since my main shtick is basically giving them free food.

>>51870831
Then either trim some of the fat from your deck for on-demand grave hate you can use, or accept that bad matchups exist.

>>51870818
Kek that sounds like fun. Do you have a list?

>>51870766
Np, the other thing I meant to say but typod was snake pit, it is much less value though so it might not be worth running

>>51870860
Sure! It's an Enchantress deck that leans pretty hard on Planeswalkers to win with. I'm seriously thinking of dropping Doubling Season because all it really does is make people sad.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/s-a-f-e-t-y-d-a-n-c-e-1/

>>51870852
Yeah it's a bad matchup, I want to lessen the blow though. Compost will be a perfect fit though, and will give me yet another Geth's Grimoire-like effect to play with as a bonus.

>>51870864
Snake Pit doesn't get triggered from monsters being reanimated though. Compost is great because even regular random discarding shit will keep netting me free cards.

>>51870831
You're playing a discard deck, you're always gonna suck against reanimator unless you're lucky and draw your bojuka bog, relic of progenitus and tormod's crypt at the right moments.

Build a new deck, accept that bad match-ups exist.

..Guys, post cards that your friends think makes no sense in your deck but you still play it anyway, then explain why.

Pic related for me. And no, my deck is not about lifegain. It's just easier when you have 40 life, but people always bitch about how it "marks a target early on in your face" or "c'mon man, it's 15 life you're paying".

>>51870995
if you eat 5 critters it's one hit lethal at 25 damage, so I would assume people jam token makers, hexproof/indestructible and unblockable/indestructable

I've tried it in a super pillowfort Enchantress deck and it's not worth it. It takes so long to get online that you're probably in a damn good position by the time you have it. It's just win-more.

>>51872130

Yeah my issue is that it I have enough of a lock going that I can sit there for 6 turns, what do I even tutor with it?

>>51872258
Exactly what I was running into. Usually I was just resolving a single Enchantress trigger on top of my normal draw for the turn, but if I was drawing 2 cards a turn for 6 turns, I was probably in a position where turning draws into tutors didn't do much except waste time with the search.

>>51872048
Most Assholes pick leovold, oloro and derevi as their general nowadays.

>>51872270

Right, I could tutor sigil of the empty throne or something, but if my deck just had another wincon instead of archmage Ascension, I'd be finding wincons faster than if I ran it

>>51868548
Parallax Wave + Opalescence allows infinite ETBs, twose two + Purphoros is my main wincon.

>>51871734
A vanilla 15/15 for 8 and 15 life doesn't sound very impressive at all, considering it gets hosed by any removal or a single chump blocker.

That's debatable. It costs 2 less and is a lot less vulnerable.

>>51872646
If Ruination wins the game I'm going to play it. Same for Shattering Spree. If there are cards that make you insta-scoop that's a weakness of your deck, not unfairness of any strategy

Nuking lands to make the game durdle on is punishable by 40 lashes though.

>>51872809
Myotic slime is great, second harvest is a must. That sorcery that puts a 1/1 squirrel on the field and can be flashbacked is bad. Run something that makes more tokens instead.

That's just a weakness in your attitude.

>>51872985
>defending blowing up all the lands for "lolrandumb" purposes
No anon, it is you who has weakness in your attitude. There's literally no reason to blow up the board just to make the game longer, or as some elaborate attempt to come back without answers.

In all honesty, nuking lands is pretty dickish in general, and if you really HAVE to do it, you should at least win quickly.

>>51872809
At least run altar of dementia and ashnod's, christ. Aggravated assault is godawful, and you absolutely have to run the rhage pits, kher keep and kessig wolf run.

If you run some more goblin toke makers than krenko can be amazing.

Also, use a bit more creatures that come in with tokens and kiki-jiki and panharmonicon will be great.

Sylvan library is better than mirri's guile and should be run instead if you can.

Also, I'd rather run dragon broodmother and dragonlair spider than verdant force.

Fecundity is a must.

If I were you, I'd go to gatherer and search for "token" in text in red, green and colorless.

>>51872014

>not running 99 chancellor of the dross

>>51873024

I don't mind nuking lands if you have some long term plan as well

I've seen nuking lands with a Phyrexian arena work out well

>>51873091
That actually sounds pretty solid. I built an entire deck around nuking the board with planeswalkers out, and using their abilities as extra carddraw to offset the lack-of-hand from most of those effects.

It was... weird. Sometimes it blew people out, sometimes it didn't, sometimes it durdled forever then randomly popped off. Jori-En is fancy.

>>51872809
Consider carnage altar, evolutionary leaps, perilous forays (all the basics in your deck on the field on turn 6/7 isn't that uncommon), westvale abbey, sword of feast and famine, and all the green cards that draw cards equal to the greatest power on your boards (rishkar's expertise drawing me 49 cards off of thromok?

needs Ant Queen and Jade Mage
Personally I would cut Dragonlair Spider cause I think it's kinda slow, but if you like it won't hate
What the fuck are Kobolds of Kher Keep doing there
Mycoloth is blowout city but I understand a lot of anons here are fond of it, so just my two cents
Thelonite Hermit is a lot of mana for 5 creatures and it doesn't have built in sac for recursion like Deranged Hermit
Thopter Assembly is pretty slow
Would cut Overrun for either Triumph of the Horde (it's cheaper and hits harder) or Overwhelming Stampede (it scales higher)
needs Citunal Hierophants and/or Cryptolith Rites
IMO Awakening Zone is pretty slow, Nest Invader or any other Eldrazi Spawner would have a better return
Fists of Ironwood is pretty meh
Gratuitous Violence is winmore, 5 creatures makes Thromok hit for lethal, Violence only cuts it down to 4
You don't have a solid enough tribal base for Mana Echoes to work
I would suggest Wolfbriar Elemental, scales up and makes a fuckload of tokens
Chancellor of the Forge makes lots of tokens
you NEED fecundity and Goblin Assault, they are the most obscene enchantments for this strategy
Recommend Druids' Repository, gets you a bonkers amount of mana off of early game weenies attacking
if you have the dosh get Cloudstone Curio, instant value with every come into play effect

Whispersilk cloak is strong. Also garruk wildspeaker, garruk primal hunter, xenagos (walker) and maybe even arlinn kord.

And maybe it's just me, but building a gruul deck without putting in either vexing shusher or asceticism hurts me deep in my soul. Also there's a land that can regenerate a target creature I think.

>>51869687
>Selvala for ants

>>51873248
Nigga not kobolds of kher keep, kher keep the land is what I suggested.

>but building a gruul deck without putting in either vexing shusher or asceticism hurts me deep in my soul
No fork or reroute? Either way, patrician taste my friend.

>>51873346
>reroute
>not wild ricochet

>>51872021
>Mystic Remora

My nigga. We call it 'Fishstick Study' in my group

>>51873392
>wild ricochet
>even comparable to a 1R cantrip
Eh, it's good, my inner accountant says "2RR is too much mana".

>>51873266
Why are you recommending goblin assault but saying that awakening zone is bad? The zone is much better imo.

>>51873438
this has been my experience, I want to live the dream but so far I've never had a Wild Ricochet in my hand and enough mana to leave it ready

>>51873457
fuck meant Goblin Bombardment

>>51873457

I think both are worth running in any deck that can run both

It's hard to say which is better, awakening zone gets the slight edge I think because attacking with your 1/1's every turn is not that exciting, minor drawback since you can just sac em and tap for various stuff, but enough to give the edge to zone

>>51871181
Exceptional taste, my fellow anon

>>51872092
What he meant to say was Sudden Shock

>>51872809
Eternal witness, you're in green nigga.
Fires of yavimaya is also necessary for the alternate "going wide" strategy, or just to give thromok haste, but hammer of purphoros is also good.

Speaking of, nigga run fucking uncle purph, he's godlike in this strategy.

>>51873464
Particularly in Gruul, when card gas and bombs are almost synonymous. If I have 2RR open, I'm casting something silly, there's no way I'm waiting a full turn to reflect one spell, my adhd couldn't take it.

>>51869621
If you consider a spiraling rules hell fun Panglacial Wurm is for you.

>>51873572
>my adhd couldn't take it
>be an esper babby who thinks holding open 2rr is fine to fuck over your opponents

Teach me the ways of gruul.

would a creature theoretically be safe from all removal with this attached?

>>51869433
Bump

>>51873601
for 2RR I could cast Shattering Spree and wreck your board sweet Esper child, creatures, artifacts, lands, any are fair game

>>51873652
assuming you had UU up and they're not using split second then yes.

Fun fact, you can target your opponents' commanders with it too

>>51873652
As long as you have 2 blue, I believe it even phases itself out because it's attached. Basically deadeye navigator eat your heart out

>>51873652
Safe enough

>>51873687
Or playing it on their turn with a Grand Abolisher out

>>51873690
Deadeye actually procts etbs, it's much better imo.

>>51873563
i though we were done with this

sac doomed traveler to ashnods altar then get a spirit while healer of the pride is out and gain life

ALL OF THE DAY, BRO

>>51873601
Gruul is simple. Follow these steps to enlightenment:

>You are a berserker, your life is only there to absorb damage until you blow something up and win, or stabilize and control the board. Use it with both wanton abandon and attrition when you're about to die.
>Blue magic is for puny mages, but every single person you play against will have some form of it. Be ready to deal with counterspells, creature removal, and all sorts of artifact/enchantment control fuckery.
>You need to go fast. Why? Well, it's just necessary. Play every card you possibly can as soon as you possibly can, because it's the law. Remember, you'll have tons of late game gas, but everyone will be ready, and next to no early game gas, when people are unpreparedd.
>Win in fancy ways. Winning by 1 life is fine and dandy, but nothing beats swinging for 400/400 double strike trample.

>>51872129
Honestly I've been running her as a disguised Kaervek deck.

>>51873736
Well I guess they're actually very different, deadeye is a value/combo piece who incidentally protects against spot removal and vanishing is just some of the best protection

>>51873724
You can phase it out before their turn/in response to casting abolisher so not really

>>51873752
I feel the need to grunt after reading this, so I think it's working.

>>51873745
my goto would be unmorph Willbender but I like yours better

I bought three packs of Eventide last week because I'm bad with my money. And among other things, I pulled this. I want to try building a deck around her, but all I can think of is voltron. Any suggestions? Most of my decks are some amount of red/green/white, I'm not used to building in black, but want to try.

>>51873266
I'm not to sure about druid's repository. Late game you don't want to attack and lose half your shitty tokens so it's bad. And if you're going wide you want to win with 1 attack anyway.

It feels like a card that would only be good early game when your opponent's lack blockers, but at any other moment it's useless.

Also, I recommend leyline of lifeforce and heroic intervention.

>>51873895
IDK about in the command zone but this definitley goes in the the 99 of Vela

>>51873895
Why does this Ashling have a fake set symbol and fake text?

>>51873929
fair enough, makes more sense in Ulasht

>>51873986

Maybe a preview or something? Who knows

>>51873952
Yeah, I figured she'd do better in the 99 of a couple of different decks, but I've been wanting to try a black deck, and nothing else really clicked with me. I figure I'll take the challenge and use her.

>>51873986
I didn't even realize that the image was off, I just tried to find a larger image than what was on gatherer.

>>51874004

MTGO was a mistake

"And then I cram him into a looter scooter!"

What is the most effective way to use Atraxa and which is the most fun?

>>51874615
In a deck

As a coaster

>>51874153
Run caller of the Claw while your at it.

>>51874717
Caller of the claw is for nontoken creatures, it's not that great in Thromok.

>>51874771
Shit I didn't even realize that

>>51873745
>thinking he can use ashnods with an Abolisher/Stony Silence/Null Rod/Pithing Needle in play

>>51874914
Scratch needle and add voidstone gargoylr and ur good

QUESTION

Do you use 'unconventional' tokens? If so, what do you use, and why? (IE, do you use something odd because you like to, or because no official token exists for that token type)

>>51875061
I like to use official tokens if i have them or high quality customs, I appreciate the artwork. but you know if I'm in the middle of the game and dont have a particular token, oh well

>>51874651
>use your commander as a coaster
holy fuck this is dirty as hell, I fucking love it

r8 my theme jank, let me know if I'm missing any obvious BONES or if any cards commit a theme sin

How do I fix my ways?

>>51875198
>build 2 decks
>use 2nd deck as tokens

>>51875198
Well that depends on why it's unrealistic.

Are you saying you have damn near any token type that could ever feasibly come up, and it's not feasible to haul along a Fat Pack box of that shit? Or are you saying that you have access to the 5 or 6 kinds of tokens your deck makes, but keep forgetting them?

>>51875383
>>51875383
New thread's up.

>>51875378
I have basically any token that could come up, and I couldn't stash them all in my fatpack box with 3 decks. I don't even have space for 2 decks at a given time.

>>51875442
What I'd recommend is just taking like, one copy of each token a deck can make, and keeping them WITH the deck in the box, rather than bringing every token that could ever matter. Just bring tokens for you.

Or just get a cheapy little 3 dollar UltraPro flipbox to bring your tokens and dice along with the Fat Pack box. It's not that much more to carry.

>>51868044
Ditch Desolation Twin, as much as I respect you running that dude/those dudes, and Lorthos.
