Not very.

Most of the time worst you can do is to steal their commander, really. Thankfully it can be used to steal legendary lands as well, which can be pretty prevalent.

Garbage at best, unplayable shit at worse. If you want a mono-blue shell, go with Talrand and zerointeraction.dek.

Consider the following. I'm running Falkenrath Marauders and Yahenni in my Marchesa, The Black Rose deck. I've found that Yahenni puts in a lot of work, but I'm considering replacing Falkenrath Marauders with Falkenrath Noble. I don't really have a lot of humans in the deck though, so the Noble's sac ability will probably not grant very many +1/+1 counters. I like big creatures and would like to have something like this to hit people with.

Opinions/suggestions for Falkenrath Marauders/Noble?

Also, another question. How does Yahenni perform in a Alesha, Who Smiles at Death deck?
>>
>>53124590
>Noble
I'm a faggot. Meant Falkenrath Aristocrat obviously.
>>
>>53124590
Marauders isn't really reliable unless you're dropping it turn 2 and putting vigilance on it. On the other hand, a 4/1 with a situational trigger in a deck that won't get it off as often is a one-and-done trade that *might* amount to 4 damage and a +1/+1 on Yahenni two turns later. If you're floating combat tricks consistently, go with Aristocrat and maximize your gains. If your curve is such that you end up ramping quickly most games, then stick with Marauder.
>>
>>53124590
Yahenni is baller in my marchesa deck, and I ran aristocrat for a while then took her out for cheaper sacrifice outlets. I would never run the Marauder, and I would run aristocrat over them if I felt I didn't have enough sacrifice outlets, otherwise I would choose a different card. You are spoiled for choices with that deck and it's always hard to make cuts
>>
>>53123540
>Whats your favorite way to copy/clone things?
Hard choice between Followed Footsteps and Progenitor Mimic. Probably the former.
>>
>>53124694
>>53124688
Thanks. I will keep that in mind and be on the lookout for a replacement for Marauders then.
>>
>>53123906
Dack's duplicate is honestly one of the best clones. Clones with haste are just nuts. I've accidentally gone infinite with it once. I don't run any infinite combos with deadeye navigator, but my opponents sure do.

It keeps being versatile.
>>
>>53124590
Heres the sac outlets I use in marchesa:
Grimgrin, Corpse-Born
Carrion Feeder
Phyrexian Plaguelord
Viscera Seer
Ashnod's Altar
Yahenni, Undying Partisan

I also have a few one-shot sacs, like Disciple of Bolas and Sidisi, Undead Vizier, but as we all know, Marchesa shines at abusing one shot dudes. My list's not super tuned, but these guys all do a lot of work. I don't think I'd replace any of them with Falkenrath Aristocrat, but it's gotta be better than the Marauders.
>>
>>53124421
>>53124493

I guess so. I've been building a mono coloured deck for each of the colours. Having a hard time finding a fun, interactive deck in blue is harder then it looks because most of the time it devolves into hardlocking opponents.

About to order my boy here because instants are fun. List isn't really finalized, anyone have any experience? Should I run self mill or symmetrical discard? I figure cards named liliana are generally good for the deck. Wincon looks to be a fat X spell or turning him sideways while buffed
>>
>>53125213
>self-mill
>symmetrical discard
What the fuck? Have you read Toshiro?
>>
>>53125235
not the poster, but i guess those are ways to get instants into the raveyard.
i guess if you really want a big toolbox of instants in your raveyard, shit like mesmeric orb could do the trick. of course the easiest would just be to get them in there by casting them, and getting flashback value from them.
hatred could work in terms of wincons.
>>
>>53123978
I think you should use either Animar or Kruphix, in my opinion they are the best commanders for big eldrazi since they ramp like crazy with colorless
>>
>>53125073
Just play Ixidor, Jalira, Geralf or Lorthos, if your playgroup is mega casul
>>
>>53125270
>of course the easiest would just be to get them in there by casting them
No shit.
>>
>>53125144
Nah. Not in the mood for a Taking Turns-esque deck.

>>53125373
>>53125087
My group isn't casual, but I want a deck that is more 'fun' as my other commanders are things like Daretti stax, Chainer and Seton combo.

Ixidor might be fun. He also works with my collection of old bordered pimp.
>>
>>53125235
>>53125270
Basically to put instants in the bin, make more tricks available. I think entomb is probably enough spice. I'm not to focused on mana doubling since space is tight, so free spells = gains
>>
>>53125523
Entomb is neither self-mill or symmetrical discard. Those cards are generally awful. If any of those Liliana cards you mentioned weren't LotV they're shit too.
>>
>>53123906
>>53124806
Dacks is a very underrated card
Unfortunately the only deck I run in red is 5c and stunt double just works with child of Alara so much better

Nothing like progenitor mimicking something then cloning the progen mimic and giving it haste/dethrone

>>53125073
Sun Quan counters and equipment
My favorite mono blue deck
>>
>>53124590
Marauders fucking suck, Aristocrat is one of the better sac outlets even with 0 humans, the choice is obvious m8

Remember that a sac outlets makes you practically immune to exile/bounce/tuck which are otherwise hard counters to Marchesa's ability
>>
>>53124590
Markov Blademaster is usually better, although it doesn't have haste
>>
Looking for some feedback for my lovechild. Apart from "get better lands tutors" (which I'm slowly working on) do you have any recommendations? Am I blatantly missing any good draw spells, removal, or ramp?

I'm somewhat new to MTG. Been playing some Pauper at my LGS, but I want to try some EDH because a lot of people play that format and I want to try some flashy cards that aren't common.

I like Ramp, funky color combinations (maybe enemy colors or Tarkir tri-color) and big beefy monsters. Which commander should I play?
>>
>>53127005
Xenagod is a good beginner commander
>>
>>53127005
just pick anything Gruul
>>
>>53127005
Temur Surrak could be what you want as well.
>>
>>53127005
Temur or Gruul, for sure. Animar, Surrak, Xenagod, maybe Radha.
>>
>>53127005
Play Yasova so you can steal other people's big flashy creatures while playing some beefy monster on your own
>>
>>53127005
As others have said, RG (Gruul) is the most straight forward answer, with Xenagos being the best stompy general. I'd take a look at Mayael as well.
>>
>>53123540

Stop posting Hazezon, only I'm allowed to play him! My deck does enchantment theme, etb theme, blink theme, land ramp theme etc. Multiple tutorable infinites. By far my best deck.

Paid for it
Then he paid for it by getting a chair thrown at him
>>
>>53128048
And this is why you always let the significant other win.
>>
>>53127902

He hits the board almost every game. Original idea was that he'd be generating a bunch of dudes that were being given haste and had anthem effects for knock out swings but that was too glass-cannon-y. Turns out late game tons of tokens is fine enough on its own without any boost effects. Now the idea is that he's generating a bunch of etb effects, which is much more generally useful. My deck actually has him playing tons of roles now and cheeky combos now. My favorite is Shields of Velis Vale on an opponent, then let Hazezon die, and watch all their creatures get exiled. Among other things.
>>
>>53127909
I countered somebody's shitty loxodon once, which made him salty because it wasn't even that good. Then the next turn another player played a domri rade, which made him even saltier since I didn't have a counterspell left for it. Then because we didn't have any good creatures the domri rade guy ulted him, which made the first guy seething mad.

After that the domri rade player killed him, and he stood up and threw his chair on the ground, screaming at me about how I let a domri rade ult happen because I was salty at him or something.

He sticked around ranting at the table for the rest of the game, but when I won with aetherling at the end he actually started throwing a tantrum and just straight up screaming. He wasnt even screaming words, he was just yelling, it was absolutely hilarious.
>>
>>53127909
Guy in my group got his infinite combo with brago out and after his first trigger(wasn't a mana ability) I krosan grip'd his main combo piece after he declared everything he was going to do, he gets extremely pissy and starts drawing cards to get a counter despite not being able to do so with grip on the stack to grab a counterspell. Everyone points this out to him and he throws a shit fit about how he always gets targeted and threatens to target me every game for the rest of the night, each game after that I proceed to target him overall regardless of others boardstates because of his hatred for me and he gets more upset until he slams his fist onto my table and I ask him to leave. Regardless I'm sure I'm the asshole in this scenario for targetting him but I don't know why he got so goddamn upset about a combo having a flaw

I had the exact opposite happen once, like a someone cast Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker and then my signet was countered. I have lost all hope for the guy, so I didn't even care. He has tried to Negate gods for at least 10 times and he never learns.

He was playing Melek and he had a counterspell on top that counter creature spells and deal damage equal to creature's power and he wanted to counter my Worldspine wurm after he already passed priority and I went through combat.

It's nice to know that Wizards takes EDH players into account during their design, though.

Build casually, play competitively. With that in mind, to avoid being bored out of your mind with a crawwurm.dec, pick a theme that's heavy on synergy but very inefficient even when cards synergize. For instance, 5c spirit/arcane, morph tribal, ninja tribal etc.
>>
>>53129281
That card is actually pretty shit
I have (5) 5c decks and I've tried to use it in every single one because I have a ballin foil version
The decks that can use it are very few but I imagine if you can deal with dropping this, waiting a turn to get value and building your deck in a way to never whiff it could be a great card
I'd put it up there with cast time, an obviously powerful card that in no way shape or form is going into one of my decks

Art aside, it's hard for me to pinpoint exactly what is wrong with this card. It may be the keyword soup (keyword soup reeks of lazyness to me). It may be the untap ability, which has nothing to do mechanically with the rest of the card.

I'm actually planning on using her as a Commander that looks like she's Voltron (and can win that way) but also throw in some crazy combos as well (Saffi Eriksdotter + Suntitan combo) and some other stuff.

I remember one of my friends bought that deck. He was pretty new, but he quickly realized that boros is better suited to playing multiple small, efficient creatures rather than fatties in a color combination with no ramp.
Im amazed that he realized this despite being a newbie, yet the people at Wizards, who design games for a living, did not. I wonder if it was intentional sometimes.

So, at the LGS I frequent Duel Commander tournaments follow the new MTGO list (Because fuck the french list), however, because of that there's a flood of Tasigurs and Oloros, along Crucible locks with strip mines, and I am seriously considering using Pithing Needle in my 99 (Food Chainless prossh because fuck the MTGO Banlist too) I really would want to know what choices besides the Needle I have to prevent LD (Already have the new Amonkhet land and Darksteel Citadel, and enough removal to deal with the Crucible, still the Tasigurs do run a lot of recursion and it just becomes impossible do deal with that.).

What's a good commander for old fashioned rock grinding? I was thinking Mazirek would be a good one, or Nath, but I'm generally unsure.
>>
>>53132765
It's easy to look up what creatures start with the biggest toughness, it's literally "sort by toughness". But that method leaves out the creatures that have the potential to get really big really fast. For example Thief of Blood almost always hits the field in the double digits and is nominally "just" a 1/1. Or Necropolis Regent who's a 12/11 after a single punt to the enemy. Are there any similar creatures? I'd especially love some black equivalent to Managorger Hydra.

I imagine there's a way to get him by Turn 2 but I'm also playing in a setting where we're trying to keep the decks around 60-70% power.

Dedicating three mana a turn to not really ramp is not great in every meta

Help anons, what should I do? I've already decided Brago, Ghave, and Uril are no dice. I could bring my big black deck, that's pretty much a bunch of expensive beaters shoved into a deck, including Dirty Mike, Skittles, and Sheroldred, but I'm not sure how happy people are going to be about that. Any advice or general tips?

I want to build a Nuclear Warfare deck based on Child of Alara with as many AOE destruction/exile/sacrifice/discard/-x/-x effects as I could ever possibly pack in there.

What kind of shell would I shove that stuff in? Just playing a bunch of ramp artifacts and utility Enchantments seems like the obvious road, but I'd ideally blow those up all the time as well.

Oh hey, the thread is a bit more active for once when I'm around.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/01-05-17-atraxa-wip/

Trying to tune this Atraxa deck into a more quirky and fun version. Alternatively increase overall consistency and direction of things.
Thought about going the Superfriends route, but too much of that is probably going to end up as a boring turtle deck.

Any suggestions for some silly cards that work with Atraxa and can abuse her effect? Already know of that Enchantment cycle exiling sometihng each turn at the cost of a Fading counter or something, though not too sure about them yet.
>>
>>53135055
This >>53135142 is a good idea, but maybe you could also run a subtheme with using lands as bolts, like that RRR enchantment that lets you discard lands to bolt things with. Milling may be an option too.

So I want to get into this Commander thing since people is starting to make a lot of tournaments on my local shop.

What are the best decks? Like the Tier 1 among commanders.
Are the 2016 bundle a good investment? That shit is over $200 now.

I was looking for info but most lists/tiers are made by literally whos named SasukexxxUchiha666 on tappedout.
I want to know if they are more solid resources.
Thanks.

Leovold, unless the local shop runs a banlist with him on it i.e. 1v1 EDH iirc.
>>
>>53135342
Playing Commander with the goal of playing competitively is the wrong approach. At that point you're just playing a worse Vintage.

That said, 2016 didn't have too much broken bullshit. Almost all OP commander decks are based around powering out an infinite combo ASAP and none of the 2016 Precons offer that with their speed. Ydris and Atraxa can still cause some serious trouble with their effects and at worst can give you access to some stupid combos due to their 4 colors.
>>
>>53135321
Bounce.

Sprinkle in other stuff with good ETB/LTB abilities that benefit from the dong framework.

They don't have a fucking choice, it's a rule of the game.

>>53135683
That shop might play by Wizards rules, it might not. Wotc doesn't have Leovold banned for FFA afaik. Either way the list the store abides by matters most.
>>
>>53135575
Better verify that whole untap step too while youre at it. Your playgroup might be uncool with you playing more than one mana per land you play.
>>
>>53135575
The only things you need to check with your group are if they're okay with proxies, what their house rules are, and if they allow wishes.

Blade of Selves
>(Whenever it attacks, for each opponent other than defending player, you may create a token that's a copy of that creature that's tapped and attacking that player or a planeswalker he or she controls. Exile the tokens at end of combat.)
Legendary Rule
> If a player controls two or more legendary permanents with the same name, that player chooses one of them, and the rest are put into their owners' graveyards.
So, when the copies of Gondo enter the battlefield, you have to sacrifice all but one.

What happens if you sacrifice the non-token Gondo? Do you get yet another additional combat step from the token Gondo's "whenever this creature attacks" trigger?
Or does the token skip the "whenever Godo attacks" trigger because it entered the battlefield already attacking?

started playing magic a little over a year ago and got into edh about 2 months ago, do you guys thing $600 is too much for a deck? Maelstrom Wanderer is my general

They won't because Wizards fully supports Sheldon's list for paper and their list is purely for MTGO. They make their products with it in mind.
>>
>>53136655
It's not "the new banlist" though. It's purely for MTGO. Regardless of which list people like more, the other one is the proper one.
>>
>>53136754
600 is reasonable for a higher end edh deck, but you might wanna drop 30 bucks on a precon that has some staples in it for a good test. It would suck to dump 600 and hate edh.
>>
>>53136854
>>53136896
I'm aware it's for MODO, that doesn't mean it isn't a strictly superior banlist.
>>
>>53136317

He's slow. That tier list is literally for the maximum known efficient output for the commanders on unlimited budget. All the lists are well over 1000$ and most high tiers can consistently kill by turn 3-5. Degenerate/strong commanders like Oloro, Kaalia or Kruphix are also Tier 3 due to not being as cut throat on unlimited budget as the tier 1.

Newzuri needs time to build up the counters for Sage of Hours degeneracy, and if that fails has limited options besides making mana dorks stronk or summoning a Mycoloth that will become huge in 3 turns while the tier 1 can combo off in an instant.

However, he can be preety cutthroat on a local, somewhat casual level of play. He has combos, several options and has preety good colors.

I really like him, but put 4000$ on a Newzuri deck against Prossh, Teferi and Tazri on the same budget and he doesn't stands a chance. That's what that particular list is for
>>
>>53137002
>unbanning Emrakul, Leovold, Prophet of Kruphix, etc.
>banning fucking Sol Ring

Uh huh
>>
>>53134681

It's literally 30$, has a preety decent mana base, a commander with a game plan, and new potentially broken cards for the format like Command Beacon or motherfucking Thrasios.

>>53131064
I know that Kaladesh forest will be worth 10$ in 10 years. Good land taste

>>53137145
so you agree with him

did you misread?
>>
>>53137063
Emrakul is absolutely fine, sol ring is actually the second-most degenerate card currently legal. Just because you only use it to ramp into craw wurm doesn't mean that it's weak.
>>
>>53137129
>degenerate combo enabler in the most degenerate combo colors
If you play Simic your life's a gimmick.

>>53137119

>>53137180
No, did you? Reread my comment sparky.
>>
>>53137196
I'm pretty certain there is no degenerate combo involving Prophet.
>>
>>53137063
Banning sol ring makes sense
Give me one reason it should be legal besides it be printed in every edh precon
They have banned cards from the precons before its not a deal breaker
>>
>>53137209
>If you think those are somehow inferior to sol ring then you should hand over your mtg license young man.
did you mean superior?
>>
>>53137224
No, it just lets you play whatever degeneracy you want whenever you want.
>>
>>53137281
even if you're not going for degenerate combos you're basically just sharing everyone else's turn to dump your hand really fast. you're pretty much guaranteed to win through combat the turn after you play prophet if that's your deck's thing.

>>53137225

Can you really not see the difference between being printed in one or two edh precons and being printed in basically every one? Including the latest?

Just starting with EDH (and mostly with Magic in general, I've only been playing a month or two). I'm throwing this together out of a few cards I have and some my friends said were good. Tell me which of these are absolute trash and need to go, and I'll move on from there

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/shitty-edh-1/
>>
>>53137500
That's not what I said at all and you saying that can only lead me to believe that you have issues with losing too easily to faster decks. Fast mana can be used with no problem in average metas and it'll rarely lead to someone winning immediately.

Disregard this >>53137845
I suck cocks and can't read.
>>
>>53125213
If you're still lurking 16 hours later, here are some tips I wish someone would've told me:

Don't fall into the trap of making it killspell.dec. Toshi is not a wincon so pack some fatties. Backup equipment Voltron is acceptable but shouldn't be counted on since Toshi has no evasion. You can run Tainted Strike and Hatred with him and not feel real dirty since he's not that big of a threat. Don't skimp on ramp or card draw. It's tempting to do so with your CMC being so low but don't do it. Being stuck on 4 or 5 lands with him while everyone else is ramp city is no bueno and you can't count on the black mana doublers at all times. If your group is real cheeky they will save removal just for those doublers so plan for that. As with all mono-black, make sure to run some lifegain to offset the life loss.

Here is my list:

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/toshi-comin-fo-dat-tooshie/

Feel free to look through the change log for any ideas of what didn't work or directions you'd like to take the deck. Even if it didn't work for me doesn't mean it might not work for you.

And the number one thing to keep in mind with Toshi is that the deck is about the long game. He shines the brightest on turn 20 when everyone is run low on cards in hand and out of steam and you have a full graveyard of shit you've been casting. It's like having an extra fistful of cards over everyone. Don't be overly aggressive because you need to grind out your value.
>>
>>53137844
Where are the lands.
>>
>>53137845
Yeah Sol Ring and Mana Crypt don't ramp someone two or three turns ahead turn 1, they're perfectly fine cards that belong in a casual format.
>>
>>53137844
>>53137909
I will add the lands later. At the moment I need to cut down on creatures, so I put those up. I can put twelve each of Forest, Mountain and Plain if it makes you feel better.
>>
>>53137934
Yes, they are. A casual group will usually stabilize pretty quickly because they don't have much degenerate shit to use that extra mana on. The one who played it may turn into archenemy for a few turns and that leads to things evening out.
>>
>>53137944
You'll want around over 40 mana sources counting lands, green ramp spells, and artifact ramp.

Are you asking for a list of the creatures that are least valuable in your decklist? What are some other decks in your meta or do you not know/have a meta yet?
>>
>>53137844
Human tribal is not going to be viable anon.
>>
>>53137934
They are fine in the average meta. If your meta is competitive enough for them to make a sizable impact, then house rule them.
>>
>>53137944
I'd take out Gisela, Intrepid Provisioner, Thraben Standard Bearer, Unruly Mob, Auramancer, Alesha because she has black mana symbols so she can't be played in that Naya deck, Captain Sisay to name a few. What do you want your deck to do? Whats your gameplan?

Casual metas lack removal and run higher mana curves. Fast mana is increasingly more game deciding there than in T1 games.

But no you can just gang up on the player which makes it okay. We should unban Moxen too, you can just gang up on whoever plays them.

what casual decks don't run removal? shit like pongify and terror and krosan grip show up in all sorts of super low end casual decks. even the precons have removal.
>>
>>53138118
No problem. Human tribal is fine for casual play, but generally the amount of lands is 35 to 40 lands depending on the curve. Also some of the creatures I mentioned work more with madness/cards that care about discarding, so it's detrimental to you otherwise. Try to get some card draw as well, like Mind's Eye or Slate of Ancestry, or Howling Mine/Font of MYthos.

Both of those would work. Also you need 100 cards straight, commander included, so you need to make some cuts since you're at 106.
>>
>>53138263
>>53138274
Alright, I added both of those on, so now I'm at 108. Is 46 creatures too many? I'm worried about the fact that they vastly outnumber instants/sorceries
>>
>>53138246
Bestiary is very good whenever I used it. The passive scry is really underrated.
Howling Mine on the other hand is pretty lackluster unless you have ways to abuse it. You might want to go with equipment like Skullclamp and Mask of Memory or another human like Tireless Tracker

Filter out posts where they mention it in terms of quick ramp, where it is only mentioned from quoting a post where someone mentions it, and otherwise posts that don't ask for it to be banned and it's not discussed nearly as much as you portray. 34 pages of (unfiltered) posts in a 1300 page thread is insignificant.

Am I missing something here?
>>
>>53138391
Okay, so this is my first time really looking at Ghave. He just goes infinite with any ETB trigger?
>>
>>53138351
Tymna and Ikra Shidiqi might work out for that. Doran is also pretty flavorful for a nature theme.
>>
>>53138430
every single person who went to that prerelease got one. there are a LOT of them in circulation.
>>
>>53138274
I'm guessing I need to cut creatures, but I'm not sure which ones are the worst and need to be cut.
>>
>>53138446
Some of the angels aren't that great, like the one that reduces costs of angels and humans with +1/+1 counters on it. I'd toss that desu.
>>
>>53138430
Some people really don't like the art and date stamp
>>
>>53138459
I'll take it out, but since I'm trying to learn what's good/bad, can you explain why it's bad? It seems a little weak at 3/3 for 5, but the effect seems okay.
>>
>>53138446
Fiend Binder, Goldnight Commander, Inspiring Captain, Stern Constable, Intangible Virtue (not enough tokens), and Commander's Authority are where I'd start
>>
>>53138446
>>53138495
I'll add that I'm willing to spend a decent amount on cards that might improve it, any staples that I'm missing?
>>
>>53138495
Easily killable, and while it reduces costs of stuff most of your dudes are cheap so it's pretty redundant, especially if you start trimming some of the chaff more like here >>53138506 for some ramp/utility spells.

>You're confusing casual metas for Craw Wurm metas.
Craw Wurm metas aren't casual?
>>
>>53138538
Square-Rectangle comparison, anon.
>>
>>53138538
Craw Wurms are the extreme of casual. People here try and pretend that the game is a duality between Prossh/Food Chain on one side and Craw Wurm 35 Forests on the other, but it's a spectrum.

>tfw never get any response to optimize your deck
'Tis a shame.

Just gotta keep posting it. Speaking of,
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/07-05-17-selvala-edh/
>>
>>53138034
I guess the game plan is to stack up a few enchantments and either win through voltron damage if I can get Samut through enough times, or otherwise just get somebody like Odric, Master Tactician out and swing for enough damage to win.
>>
>>53138565
Not really. Creature heavy formats ate pretty normal, the extreme of casual is people making decks of shit cards they just opened out of packs.
>>
>>53138446
Should I drop Slayer's Plate? It seems a little expensive to only strengthen one creature, though I imagine I'd put it on Samut to try and get the commander damage

>>53138526
I don't know what I need for utility, but I have a few ramp sorceries like Kodama's Reach, Natural Connection, Cultivate, and Rampant Growth. Are any of those worth using?
>>
>>53138651
I guess I might as well try again, too.
Pls someone help me iron out this terrible combo deck. Is there any way to accomplish my goals more efficiently?
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/darksteel-reactions/
>>
>>53138724
It might be for the best.

>>53138750
Cultivate and Kodama's Reach are always good.

>>53138685
Your deck is not a Voltron deck, it's very different if it was. Overruning the opponents with creatures might be more fitting.

Keep in mind some stuff to cut are cards that synergize with different things, like madness, you're not really running that, so something with repeatable discard for a small minor effect isn't great.
>>
>>53138651
Politics decks are difficult to critique since they're so playgroup dependent. Though I would recommend Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots and Magewright's Stone for those Selvala untaps. Also you generally want a few wraths in case someone gets out of control.
>>
>>53138771
>tfw staying up way too extra long to get an early post next thread and hopefully have SOME responses in the morning
It's all about tactics, anon.
>>
>>53138795
I had Magewright's Stone in an earlier version, but I cut it, relying more on Thousand-Year Elixir, Seeker of Skybreak, and Wirewood Lodge. Greaves is a good idea, and do you think I'd need more wraths than Wrath of God and Day of Judgement?
>>
Speaking of new thread, can anyone be arsed to make one?
>>
>>53138880
I'm a huge fan of Austere Command. Perilous Vault is also not a bad idea since you'll have the mana to fire it off. And Oblivion Stone has some nice synergy with Sun Titan.
>>
>>53138771

Blighted Agent and Triumph of the Hordes for Infect damage alterantive wincon.

Demonic,Vampiric, Worldly and Mystical considering you're really dependant on getting Vorel/Deepglow.

I never liked Thrummingbirb. 1/1 that needs counters already in the field to dupe. If it works for your meta then whatever.
>>
>>53129079
I just don't get it, I like the art and the card.
>>
>>53138988
Well it's okay to be wrong.
>>
>>53138886
Here you go lazy fuck.

Do split-face/aftermath cards count as two cards in the graveyard when it comes to cards like pic related?
>>
>upgrade my mizzix deck so its dumb durdley big stuff
>now its archenemy #1 in my playgroup because of my spell reanimation subtheme
Wat do /edhg/
>>
>>53139107
counts as 1
>>
>>53138974
I think mystical will just tutor for another tutor 90% of the time, but worldly definitely should have been in there already. Good catch.
>>
>>53131135
I buy myself staples from time to time for that reason, I do it too. Leads me to buy more specific staples, scrape the deck, now I have more floating around. Repeat. Magic fills my void. i never play either, no chances. I only build. Like I'm playing with knex
