A commander is always a commander, it never stops being one even when face down. All commanders can use the replacement effect at all times. If a commander would be put into exile face down by an effect like Bomat Courrier, you are able to apply the replacement effect.

Sheldor made a mistake when making the rules of the format. If you don't put your commander in a different sleeve you can't follow the rules properly.

There were two cycles of Legendary creatures in original Ravnica, the 12 and 1122 cycles.

A decent number of the 12 cycle are just random guild members. Agrus is important to the story, but otherwise a beat cop. Tibor, Lumia, Circu, and Tolsimir are pretty much just randoms. Even Ulasht is just "some weird Hydra".

Okay, there's Ravnica, Guildpact, and Dissension, the three sets of the Ravnica block, and Ravnica, Guildpact, and Dissension, the three books of the Ravnica trilogy. In Dissension the book, there's a character, Izolda, who runs the Cult of Rakdos while Big Daddy R is doing other shit. In Dissension the set, there's a card, Lyzolda. Lyzolda isn't Izolda. Anything Izolda does in the canon is separate from anything Lyzolda does.

Rakdos awakens and smashes his way out onto the streets of Ravnica and right into a fight with Project Kraj. After the fight with Kraj, Rakdos is hauled back into the lava pit of Rix Maadi in a coma.

I play this deck and it is pretty comfy for most of the game but eventually you have a massive turn with Gitrog Monster or sacrificing lands then returning them to play repeatedly and that takes some thought.

This anon has been spouting this shit for a few threads. He's interpreting the rules different than they're written. The rules say that a commander is a commander no matter where it is, or what form it's in (If you choose to let it get tucked, and it gets manifested) but he's a fucking tool. Different sleeves for your commander are literally not needed, it's up to player discretion but if you choose to put your commander in a different don't be pissed if someone plays a "Discard at random" card and chooses the card that's obviously your fucking commander, or if someone codex shredders it when they see it's at the top of the deck.

You should never "choose" a card at random like that. Use RNG to determine it, like a die roll or an actual random number generator if your hand is big enough.
>>
>>54025685
Ok I can empathize with that. Your still cunts though, if ( we tell him he can sit out and watch how to play the game properly ) was the way you decided to handle it.
>>
>>54025802
Fair, that's what we do in my playgroup, but a lot of other people don't bother because it's unnecessary if you don't know what the cards are- Sleeving your commander in a different sleeve still gives all of your opponents more information than you should want to give them.

>Derevi
>Jenara
>Roon

In Selesnya, you've got:
>Gaddock Teeg
>Karametra
>Rhys
>Selvala
>Sigarda
>Trostani

I'll give you Naya being kind of underwhelming.
>>
>>54025768
But if the commander is in different sleeve, it's not anymore "discarding at random" if opponent picks. Literally only way is to toss a die, the sleeves don't even matter that much, opponents are much less likely to pick a card from center and less from sides, unless you have less cards for that to matter.
But if commandet gets tucked for some reason, it's literally cheating if you can tell it's position in your library, as it will affect shuffling most likely and you're not supposed to know normally a position of any card in a zone that's not a public zone.
Commander damage is still marked for the morphed/manifested commander, but I don't think that you have to tell which of your million manifested creatures is your commander, only that you need to announce the damage either way.
>>
>>54025791
>Bant 1 good commander
Dervi, Roon, Jenara, Angus

Come on anon. Just because they're not broken doesn't mean they're not good, not to mention Bant is a strong as fuck color regardless if it uses it's commander or not.
>>
I've been wanting to make a commander deck with a regular ass planeswalker as it's lead. Every time I bring it up people I play with get mad - Like actually mad - and I don't understand why.
>>
>>54025889
Exactly, that's part of the point. I'm not saying you need to sleeve it differently, and I'm not saying that you need to sleeve it the same. It's up to each group, but always knowing where your commander is not specifically stated in the rules. The anon advocating different sleeves for the commander is claiming it's the rules, but it's not- At all. He's interpreting it the way he wants and trying to claim that it's the rules, when it clearly isn't.

Anything with alterantive mana costs, phyrexian mana or something.
FoW can be cast without a cost, as can many others as well, then there's the evokers, expertises and some of the Dash creatures, although they're not really good.

Brago has the stipulation of having to hit through combat, roon gives you access to an extra color and can be used at instant speed whenever you want, not to mention you can use cards like Seedborn Muse to use Roon on everyone else's turn as well. I would pick Roon over Brago any day.

Yup. He's a retard, but probably just a retard in for the sweet (you)'s. I don't think that anyone would keep up with the same shit multiple threads unless they get replies, which are plentiful in uneducated and bad posts, so it's not really about what's right and wrong, as long as he gets the attention he lacks in real world.

But anyway, only thing that must be clear is the amount of commander damage done to each player, location of the commander is irrelevant, if it's on the battlefield or library.

But if we're about rulings, what really grinds my gears is whenever people rearrange their graveyards. I mean, why does everyone do that? I play Corpse Dance, if I did that, I would get an unfair advantage, not to mention, pic related exists.

Brago lets you blink as many things as you want instead of just one. He's much, much better than Roon.

"I just hit you for 2? Ok, time to blink Brago himself, Sun Titan, Peregrine Drake, Mulldrifter, Reality Acid, and Gilded Lotus. Oh by the way, I cast Stasis."
>>
>>54026067
Because if nobody is playing cards that care about graveyard order, it doesn't matter, and the majority of time only your own graveyard order matters. In Modern and Standard, graveyard order isn't even enforced. Announce to your playgroup beforehand that graveyard order does matter.
>>
>>54026115
Brago is also a key target for any type of spot removal or counters, and his deck is only good if you can blink with him. Roon has more versatility and isn't commander reliant. Brago decks are either the dominant force at a table, or they do nothing because it's so easy to stop them from going off. I've been to several different LGSs and whenever a Brago shows up someone pops it off a few times and the player can't cast it again in time to matter, or no one has an immediate answer and they crush it. We can simply chalk it up to different tastes though, as I prefer the consistent way Roon plays, plus he has access to green and it's ramp which is huge.
>>
>>54026191
>>54026115
Speaking of Brago, do auras flickering attach as a state-based action or, for example, can you destroy Brago when he flickers a Pentarch Ward before it attaches?
>>
>>54022706
>muh landz n shiet
>>
>>54026255
If an aura would enter the battlefield and it wasn't cast, the player whose control it is entering the battlefield under must choose a permanent it could enchant, and it enters the battlefield attached to that permanent.

In other words, no, there is no window of opportunity between Brago flickering the enchantment and it returning attached to Brago.
>>
>>54026301
Neat. Now I can flicker that without fear.

>>54026180
I usually just say that "keep the order in GY" whenever they first start rummaging. Still, there's sometimes idiots, who still rearrange it saying "should have said something earlier", even though they hadn't done anything with it yet, or even worse, asking to see my graveyard and rearranging it.
I don't want to be the passive aggressive faggot who rearranges their grave just to get infinites or maximum value out of Corpse Dance, but it really bothers me when people still do that shit after when I've said to avoid it. It's not even that Corpse Dance is underplayed, I see it somewhat frequently.

I don't do it and I'll mention that it isn't allowed if I see someone doing it. It's fringe because they're older cards but Corpse Dance and Bosium Strip (and more iirc) are playable cards.

Okay, yeah, that shit doesn't fly.
Refuse to let them handle your graveyard until they've acknowledged they can't change the order of them. You're not obligated to give them physical access to your cards, you only have to give them the information. If they refuse to respect graveyard order, they can get a list of the name and order of cards in your graveyard.
>>
>>54026739
So only Legacy and Vintage.
>>
>>54026739
To be fair, graveyard isn't to be rearranged even if no one were playing such cards. It kind of translates to me as if someone would just have a stack of cards on their battlefield, where the stack includes all of their permanents, not including the ones that have counters on them, or then they have the counters separately.

The current REL says you can rearrange your graveyard without penalty in any format where graveyard order matters cards aren't legal. It's technically not legal in Commander, but the spirit of the law is basically admitting "yeah, we don't care unless we have to care".

I said I prefer Roon and I thought he was better, the other anon said Brago was better. That lead me to talking about the difference in how other players deal with the decks, based on how they're constructed. Brago is a target, period. Roon less so. I didn't say people shouldn't play Brago, I said I prefer Roon over Brago based on taste.

The thought was that it occasionally saves you if you are behind on life but ready to cast a big Earthquake/Comet Storm/Fault Line to win the game.

>>
>>54027756
You don't. Maybe don't play a card that exiles the top card of your deck face down.
>>
>>54027731

Yeah, I thought it wouldn't be worth since the deck is so permanent-light but I suppose with Neheb+1 its as good as a mountain. I'll sub it in.
>>
>>54027772
Eh, it's way too costly and tacky to be useful. I'll mainly just roll with Bloodcief Ascension, Excuisite Blood and discard enchantment synergies. I also play Oppression and Painful Quandry to hold back lots of plays. I also play lot of the mediocre minotaurs as well and I'm much lighter on the non-permanent spells side
>>
>>54027954

Ah, maybe I should have been more explicit. List is for Neheb, the Eternal, the new one from HOU.

I do wish I could play Exquisite Blood though...
>>
>>54027796
See but that's not true. You can always apply the replacement effect (rule 903.9).
Also the commander being in a private zone doesn't matter, it still has that property (rule 903.3).

If you want to argue, please use the rules to support your argument. As is you just sound like a collosal retard talking about something you know nothing about.

I'm not saying that the rules say if you don't sleeve it in a different color you are cheating, but I am saying I can think of no other way to resolve this kind of thing.

This is especially relevant because I have not seen a single commander player follow actual guidelines for sleeves ever. If you have sleeves you have played with for over a day you probably have Marked Cards (No pattern) which gives you a warning and you are forced to get new sleeves. Any kind of wear, dirt, scratches, bent corners or curling sleeves will cause this.

If you weren't following the rules in the first place, why not take advantage of that to make a corner case work for Commander (a house ruled format where Sheldon made a mistake and didn't account for this when he changed tuck)
>>
>>54028006
Oh, right. I play the Rakdos one, but I'm more than happy to include the new one when he comes out. Shit's bonkers and I understand Emperion now
>>
>>54028018
Sure, but if you exile your commander through Pyxis for example, you can't apply the replacement effect as you don't know you're exiling your commander, for face-down exile removes all that matters, as if you search for the commander through Praetor's Grasp, your opponent's commander is gone for good
>>
>>54021339
>I would like to slow things down

Build a Thalia control deck. dude at my lgs had one, if he got his rhythm going pretty much no one did shit for 5-6 rounds.
>>
>>54028018
Okay. If card text contradicts rules then you follow the card text. It's exiled face down, you can't look at it. You can't look at it, you can't know its your commander. You can't know its your commander you can't put it in the command zone. Either don't play in a retarded fashion or don't whine that you lost your commander.
>>
>>54028201
>you can't apply the replacement effect as you don't know you're exiling your commander,

You have a rule you can reference for this?

Right now you are just talking out of your ass.
>>
>>54028201
On the contrary, with Praetor's Grasp the solution is simple. Your opponent asks "If this is your commander would you like to put it in the command zone." Because they can see it they know if it's your commander.
>>
>>54028238
As are you. Sleeving is only mentioned in one place in the rules, and that's that double faced cards must be sleeved so as to be indistinguishable from other cards.
>>
>>54028224
See that doesn't work either. Say you mindslaver an opponent, cast their gonti, and manage to hit your own general with the trigger. You exile it face down. Can you apply the replacement effect?

Use rules nigger. It being in a hidden zone doesn't mean you can't apply the effect. It literally says that explicitly in the rules.

I don't know why you think it's so unlikely that Sheldon just forgot a rules interaction that can only occur in a very rare circumstance with half a dozen cards. I would just wipe his cum off your chin and realize he just isn't as comprehensive as WotC.
>>
>>54028251
That's the comprehensive rules. The DCI has their own set of rules for sleeves. If you didn't know this you are dumb as hell.

Second off, if you really believed there were no rules for sleeves or marked cards then it wouldn't matter to you if people put their commanders in different sleeves in the first place.
>>
>>54028239
Opponent can Grasp the card and you can't ask them which card they searched for. If they searched for your commander, you won't get it back.
>>54028238
From face-down exiled cards you can't know what cards they are and you can't look at them, so you can't apply the replacement effect, as you can't know to use it, even if you had the card on top of your deck.
Besides, ironic how you say I'm talking out of my ass.
>>
>>54021285
This card seems hilarious against dredge
>>
>>54028309
But you can't use the effect in your situation. We're not talking about whether you actually know about it, but in a gameplay sense, in a same way that in tabletop games you can know some things which your character can't.
>>
>>54028344
>From face-down exiled cards you can't know what cards they are and you can't look at them, so you can't apply the replacement effect, as you can't know to use it, even if you had the card on top of your deck.

This is you talking out of your ass though. Exiled face down doesn't mean you dont know what the cards are. There are actually only a small handful of cards that exile cards face down in such a way that you wind up not being sure of their identity.

Lastly them being in a hidden zone does not mean that you can not apply the replacement effect (903.3 and 903.9).

In short, git gud and give me a rule number if you actually plan to keep this up. I imagine you will just make up a number, post bullshit, and try to reveal to us all that you were only pretending to be retarded the whole time.

Actually it's not a flaw in the normal game, it's just a flaw in the house ruled format of commander. There are exactly 6 cards in the game that can cause this problem, and they all share that it can only be done if your commander gets shuffled into your deck, which is rare enough anyways.

Second off rule 903.3 is the one where it explicitly says it retains the property of being your commander when it changes zones. The rule you cited is for when the replacement effect can apply, and the first zone listed is exile. Face down exile is still exile ya dingus.
>>
>>54028424
This is because the ruling doesn't exist. Sheldon hasn't given a solution to this kind of situation.
Face down exile is hidden information, and whether you know or don't know which card there is exiled doesn't matter anymore.
You can't apply a replacement effect if you don't know if the card has one, and you can't even look at the card to confirm.
>>
>>54028548

>>54028616
Yes, but in this case the different colored sleeve doesn't matter. Until Sheldor does something with the rules, the face-down exile effect is hidden information when it is first applied.

It being hidden does not stop you from applying the replacement effect, since "commanderness" is explicitly not a characteristic, which is the thing being face down in exile gets rid of (406.3)

What you are saying makes perfect sense, and they made rules that make everything work fine and dandy, except for when you throw in the special commander rules. That fucks everything right the hell up, and it's what is making you wrong.

It's kind of strange and I really can't comprehend how it works. I understand your point, but I feel like it's the absolute, that you really can't check or see the card that's exiled.

I mean, at least finish the thing, even though the rule was a complete mistake from the get go.

What's wrong with this? That's literally the spirit of EDH, it's a "for fun" format.

Timmies are seen as noobs. People enjoy playing cards that spoil their fun, because that's people for you.

>spirit of EDH

the problem with timmies is that they get massively butt hurt whenever another player win in a way they dont agree with. stuff like combo, infect, MLD, etc. then they throw out the "spirit of EDH" argument and basically say your not allowed to have fun in certain types of ways. timmies are generally whiney fags who dont practice what they preach and are almost always "that guy" when losing
>>
>>54032300
I am not going to wait for 10 turns while a Timmy durdles for an "le ebic combo Xddd". It isn't really spoiling fun when they just build bad decks half the time.
>>
>>54032349
>MLD
Oh yeah because bringing the entire game to a grinding halt is TONS of fun.
>>
>>54032406
Timmy isn't combos.
Timmy durdles for 10 turns so he can play his Craterhoof Behemoth and swing for a million damage.
>>
>>54032406
Timmy gets excited playing Terra Stomper, not combos. Know your MTG RnD archetypes you nerd.

That's Johnny, not Timmy.

Ramp, big efficient tramplers, extra combat step effects, and for extra hilarity Gruul colored counterspells to make Cyclonic memesters cry.

Important safety tip: Kill the player that has access to BW first. Having to cast Xenagos twice is a bummer.

I think the shitty part of being a Timmy is the degenerate process you go through as you develop as a player.

For example, "that guy" who runs Xenagos with a bunch of standard legal cards is likely to throw a bitchfit if you nevermore his commander and blow up all his sources of trample, because it's seen as limiting how much fun he can have, and he's not really running anything THAT good. In a few months, that same player is going to grab an elvish piper, a few tutors, a bunch of rocks/mana dorks/ramp, then shit out malignus and Xenagos by t5. Swap ramp for reanimator, or uncounterable counterspell backed UG goodstuff, or some kind of crazy eldrazi thing, and you have the second stage: Timmy, Destroyer of Metas.

In new metas, unless there are a few experienced players, these kind of decks absolutely dominate because they're straightforward to build, generally strong, and the control players need to invest significantly more time/money for a similar result. This is where most people here have a bone to pick, because they're playing really aggressive strategies, but still get butthurt about anything that ruins their fun. Think about "that guy" who plays Kruphix. Is the deck degenerate? Of course, but the second you touch his lands, he's going to throw a whiny fit about how he's playing magic "fairly" because he's not running a lot of interaction and just wants to summon big creatures.

The end of a timmy's life cycle comes in one of two ways: either blightsteel colossus or stax. Blightsteel colossus is baby's first "combo piece" because it's an artifact, and there are a ton of ways to cheat it into play if you build around it, or they've gotten their butt kicked by something like Brago Flickerstax that they deem "lesser" and are on a single minded quest to ruin everyone's fun, while still shitting out giant bombs.
>>
>>54029747
That could just be the fact that it's an older card. Wizards has used a few different types of card stock over the years and their QC has always been pretty horrible, so off center frames are common, even today. Hell, with cards from MM2 forwards I'd be suspicious if the card was too *good*.

Not saying it's absolutely not a fake, but old cards can feel different and sloppy printing is not a sure sign of counterfeiting.
>>
Signets are fucking stupid, fight me.
>>
>>54032731
>Two colour deck
Yup, you can just run the 3 drop rocks that make either colour and call it a day.

>Three plus colour deck
Nope. Getting two colours for one colourless is too good of a deal to pass up, particularly in anything without green.

I play mostly casual, fun decks, and even my more tuned ones are "75%" -ish, but I want something competitive and oppressive. Well, I have come into possession of a foil Doubling Season and I've had an Earthcraft burning a hole in my binder for years, so I want to try making a Ghave deck that just prevents the table from having fun when the tryhards come out.

Anyone here have any experience with him? What are some must-haves, traps and win-mores to avoid, and most importantly, how do you deal with Cyclonic Rift in a permanent heavy Abzan deck?
>>
>>54032812
>so I want to try making a Ghave deck that just prevents the table from having fun when the tryhards come out.
But that's not what Ghave does. Anafenza fits your theme a little better. Ghave is a combo deck, and if you aren't winning quickly, you're losing. If you get board wiped, the only thing you can do is make sure everyone else is also board wiped, by being the first one to drop it. If you start running more recursion, you're going to have less room for combos and removal to make sure you can combo off.

Either you tutor your combo pieces and run a glass cannon build, or you fill your deck with wipes and combo peices so that you keep blowing up the board until you can decisively win in one turn, probably with ashnods/blood artist.
>>
>>54032812
Ghave combo is too slow and fragile for cEDH. You could probably do something more stax-oriented
>>
>>54028774
Bring decks of varying power levels
>>
>>54032731
>In anything with green.
Yeah, probably. There are much better 2 mana ramp and mana fixing spells if you need that.

>In non-green two color decks
Take 'em or leave 'em, could be what you need, could be a wasted slot, YMMV. Not auto-include, but not bad by any means.

>In almost any 3+ deck
Yeah, no, you're wrong. It lets your utility lands tap for colors, which lets you run more utility lands. In particular, I'd never run one of the FRF khans without at least the signet that taps for the colors in their ability.

>Making broad generalizations about a highly random, varied, and customizable game
Now that's fucking stupid.
>>
>>54032901
>>54032844
Hmm, ok, fair enough. What can I do with Doubling Season and Earthcraft that IS in the realm of cEDH?
>>
>>54032812
Earthcraft and squirrel nest. Infinite squirrels. Do it.

Might as well run blasting station to blast your opponents with squirrels.
>>
>>54032812
I created mine when I wanted a more powerful kind of deck. It's been doing pretty well and I have had great deal of fun with it.
Still, I can't remember a single occasion where I've cast Doubling Season and most of the times I end up not even casting him, mainly if I get Mike on the field without another combo piece or Geralf's Messenger.
>>
>>54032952
Doubling Season really isn't that great of a card unless you're running walkers. Eartcraft however is absolutely great card.

But then again, I feel like I'm not abusing DS properly, because usually I have no reason to cast it and tend to have better outlets for my mana
>>
>>54032960
That's actually why I have Earthcraft. Had a squirrel deck back in the day. Sold my other copies, but hung on to one. So yeah, the nest would absolutely be in there, if for no other reason than nostalgia.

>Still, I can't remember a single occasion where I've cast Doubling Season and most of the times I end up not even casting him

Disheartening. I really like the card. Think I should go for a Rhys token spam instead? I'm trying not to double up on color combos and I've already got a Karametra enchantress/landfall deck, but Rhys seems fun.
