You'll be a target no matter what if your group has any kind of experience with Slivers. They tend to snowball out of control and generate exponential value just by being on the table. It'll take a little while for them to realize that you aren't doing anything degenerate with them. You'll have to tough it out through that.

>>54157914
harmonize and concentrate are costed very generously, and are rare exceptions. even then, they're 4 mana draw spells and are therefore more efficient.

i don't really understand why you're bringing up cantrips either. they replace themselves. when you cast git probe, you're paying 1 mana to look at your opponent and replace the card. that's why git probe's effect isn't as strong as giant growth's. it replaces itself, while giant growth doesn't.

this shouldn't be that hard to understand

>>54157949
find me a draw 2 spell at 2 mana with no additional drawback, and i'll accept that a card is worth exactly 2 mana.

Voltron is white's only real hope. Isamaru isn't significantly worse than most things since getting your commander out T1 is pretty huge, but "not bad for mono White" isn't actually a compliment. I'd rather just run Sram.

>>54157711
OG Drana is my favorite, and black doesn't really have any weaknesses, but I compensate by never casting her, unless I can alpha strike/run out of fatties/can't reanimate anything.

I also run whip of erebos for surprise lifelink to make up for all the life loss that's about to happen.

>>54158056
It is not an honest mistake, I purposefully left it out.

>Harmonize trades 4 for 3, or 1.3.

i only now realized how retarded you truly are

harmonize costs a card to cast. you pay 4 mana AND A CARD to gain 3 CARDS which means you only gained 2 NEW CARDS which means each card cost you 2 MANA which means you paid 2 MANA for EACH NEW CARD
>>
>>54158092
Which would still mean that it would be worth 3 mana, not 3.5 mana. You're wrong regardless. And it's not Giant Growth, it's a more conditional Giant Growth.

you're paying an opportunity cost by casting a 4 mana draw spell. higher cost spells are more efficiently costed because of counterspells, aggro/tempo pressure, etc.

you're right that it's a conditional giant growth, and that's the point that people should have argued against me all along. i still think it's gay as fuck because it's free value every turn from a creature that is more or less removed from the game

They only count for one symbol but they're applied to both colors. So Fists of the Demigod would count as 1R for Purphoros and 1B for Erebos, but it would still only be 1 devotion towards activating Mogis.

Enchantments and Artifacts are still a bitch though, hence why GB is such a good color combo. It covers nearly everything.

I'm not sure it's worth it. Seems strictly worse than Unstable Obelisk and Scour from Existence. Might be better in mono blue, due to artifact interactions though.

>>54159716
If you want to get into edh, buy one of the precons and play it to get a feel for the format.
>>
>>54159716
>1k ebay bundles
I don't know what you're referring to, but that sounds sketchy.

If you're interested in EDH, just buy a pair of EDH precons for you and your buddy to dip your toes in the format. Standard might be a better starting point though, as it's a hell of lot less complex.
>>
>>54159741
arent these just repacks and you end up with almost the same for what you buy?
>>
>>54159741
I guess if you want to just dick around and build some kitchen table decks with your friend, that's probably alright. I would not expect there's any financially valuable cards in that pile though, so keep that in mind.
>>
>>54159669
What >>54159743 said. The precons are decently fun when played against each other and they typically have decent build-around commanders that you and your friends can play around with and upgrade until you're more comfortable with deckbuilding. That being said, EDH is a weird format compared to most others and won't give you a very good view of Magic as a whole. EDh/Commander requires you to evaluate cards differently than for other formats.

If you aren't sure you're ready for EDH or constructed Magic in general, go to a draft game at your local game store. You pay the entry fee and you pass around some packs with a few other people and build decks out of them and play against each other with those. You'll have to learn deck building on the fly, but it's a good exercise and can be fun.
>>
>>54159741
Always buy singles unless you are drafting or just really, really enjoy opening packs (or are getting specialty product, like commander precons), and then never expect anything good.
>>
>>54159741
I cannot stress this enough. NEVER BUY REPACKAGED PRODUCT. Buy singles that you want or you are flushing money away
>>
>>54159802
If you draft, make sure you are not rare drafting, which is where you draft, then after the draft everyone pools their rares together and the people who won get to pick your expensive, nice cards.

What's too much money for EDH in your opinion?

I'm sitting with 170 in the cart and really wrestling with it. To be fair I have a "cube" of cards that I use to make EDH decks from and it'd be a really solid package of staples.

How much is too much for you fa/tg/uys?
>>
>>54159839
Idk, I think those bundles of ~1000 cards for $20 or less is not terrible for a new player, provided their expectations of what's inside are properly set. A new player could have a decent time learning how to play with a bunch of other people's draft leftovers. It's probably fine for learning Magic, but that anon understands the basics of the core gameplay, he should really start drafting, playing standard, or trying out EDH with a precon.
>>
>>54160014
If it's staple cards that I feel like I could use in other decks, then I'd probably go up to around $200 or maybe a little more. If it's expensive jank that would only be good for one deck (not even decks that share a similar style like, say, a specific artifact that would be good for the one deck but that I wouldn't play in other artifact decks), then I keep it under $100.
>>
>>54160038
*but once that anon understands the basics
>>
>>54158285
That doesn't really follow when it's impossible to play the cat dragon with the cat deck.
>>
>>54159669
Draft and sealed formats are the best way to get a grasp on the game and will ultimately be the best product to dollars deal you get. Especially if you are good enough to place well. (I'm pretty shit myself and usually walk away with at least a few prize packs). Anything else buy singles you want. If you want to try out Commander I would check out your card shop on their casual play night. You can observe and get a feel for it. Decent chances someone would let you borrow a deck even.
>>
>>54160116
Sure you can, cut all the good white cats and make the cat dragon your general and fill the huge number of empty slots with whatever.

Why would you want them in each other's decks? Arahbo kind of sucks. In fact Wasitora's not that amazing either if you weren't planning on running Jund colours anyhow.
>>
>>54160775
So you could have a cat commander that works for scarred puma and evil mirri. The majority of players don't want red or black cats, they want green white, so making the cat deck a 4 color monstrosity was stupid. They couldn't make the cat dragon green white because sacrificing your opponents creatures isn't in either of those colors.

Satisfied?
>>
>>54160808
I'm more just bummed they can't be in eachothers deck, arabho does kinda suck, but the emminice is better then what wasitora would be as a cat commander. Why not just make Arahbo jund?

since this is the edh thread, it's hard to find a better deal than the commander anthology. you'll be dropping around $140 for it, but in return get a lot of neat cards worth the asking price. it gives you 4 decks in the most popular format, so two more friends can join in if they feel like it. better than drafting an amonkhet box for $90

Seems like it has 0 synergy with other stax cards. Probably fun if you want to screw over blue mages. You can also use wheels to turn every game into magic the topdecking.

That being said, this doesn't work with smoke stack, null rod, winter orb, etc. The traditional stax package. It just works OK in a normal Boros list

>Cat tribal
Really? Outside of Amonkhet are there even any good cats? I know Mirrodin had a few and there are some legends floating around like Brimaz and Mirri but this feels like a complete waste of a tribe. I get that they probably want to support unsupported tribes but cats don't even do anything interesting, why not something like Serpents who all have a "can't attack unless X" theme, or Nightmares with their "do X when enters the battlefield, reverse X when they leave". You could make some really interesting ways to support that.
I don't know, I'm just annoyed. I don't like cats either so maybe I'm a bit biased.
>>
>>54163795
At this point cats have about as much actual tribal support as dragons. They've always been there and have had their fair share of good cards, it's just that they're way less peominent than others.
>>
>>54157711

>>
>>54158285
Busted theory, desu.
>>
>>54163819
Sure, but like I said there's nothing interesting about the tribe. They're usually just cheap vanilla creatures, maybe with a keyword or two. I've never looked at a cat and thought "wow, this card's awesome" whereas dragons have stuff like Worldgorger and Hellkite Tyrant that do really crazy things. Cats are usually just good value creatures like Brimaz or Pride Sovereign, that's not something I'd want to build a deck around. They're going to need to make something really cool to get me interested in that deck, but I guess it'll appeal to someone else.
>>
>>54163897
the thing that makes cats interesting is that they'll now get a free giant growth every combat!!!
>>
>>54163897
Cats have 2 main tribal features. Token generation through their actual creatures (opposed to how most humans get theirs through spells and are always 1/1) as well as Lifelink. That's more or less their tribal identity and, while not really amazingly cool, it's certainly there and they follow it pretty well.
>>
>>54158655
Love this card. It's in most of my white heavy decks.
>>
>>54161330
The thing is, there's a lot of combinations they used already. What is left are 3 allied duals. I think they'd make it before repeating.
>>
>>54163897
While I don't disagree with you, most tribes don't have that much depth when it comes to appeal for the tribe itself. Elves are known for being dorks and that's mostly it. The tribes biggest strength is its ability to play creatures outside of its tribe quickly.

I'll never understand why Wizards insists that cats are white or green. They're selfish and they toy with their prey. Realistically, they'd be UB or BR.

>>
>>54161601
While Boros shines in stax department, most of the commanders unfortunately boil down to "LMAO BOROS ANGRY I PLAY VIGILANCE SO SMASH NO TAP", so options are quite limited.
Still, play artifacts. You're gonna need fast mana and lot of the staples, but you can fit easily some of the pet cards in.
Unfortunately you lack blue, so mind control and some of the other good cards. Anyway, you should include the good shit such as Daretti, Goblin Welder, Smokestack (synergistic with Assemble the Legion, although it's expensive but it curves well), Armageddon, Moat, Humility, Ravages of War, and one of my favorite tech, Starfield of Nyx, which is one of the better cards in enchantment recursion. There's still more good cards and some of those are pretty expensive, but unfortunately if you want to have an effective non-jank stax, it's usually costly.
The cards you suggested are way too janky and if you play stax, you're not going to want to be stuck with high cost do-nothing-cards in your hand, but should have cheap removal instead. Stax is pretty much a solved archetype and you can't play it properly without the staples.
Oh, and you want every available good tutor in your deck.

>>54160046
This is the best advice. Say you're building Daretti. Spending $40 on a Wheel of Fortune that goes in pretty much any red deck is better than spending $30 on a Metalworker or something that will only go in a dedicated artifact deck. That way if you get bored of your current deck and want to play something new, you won't have "wasted" any money, instead you'll be able to play a bunch of new decks thanks to having pricey staples.
>>
>>54165879
This is just MaRo's autism. He talked about being proud for the mechanics specifically designed for commander like experience counters, command zone interaction etc. That guy just can't imagine anything without a gimmick. In his every standard set needs to have new keywords, be on a different popculture-trope plane or players would found it "boring". The same logic is applied for commander sets, but we already have all the mechanics ever created, we don't need cards that make it more "interesting".

This shit is infuriating, even RC doesn't like cards that interact with command zone, and Wizards is doing this all over again this year.

Usually you want to spend the first 4 turns ramping and durdling until someone plays a threat. Then you get everyone to acknowledge the threat while slowly slipping your own threats onto the board claiming that they're important for dealing with the other player's threat. Then if thing don't go your way, you or someone else board wipes, and you start this process over again.

I can't find anything that can be remotely interpreted as him "being proud" of Experience counters or any of that stuff. People are inventing things to hate him for, since it's not catchy to bitch about Fleischer, Gottlieb, or Nagle apparently.

it may as well be a demonic tutor

It's his design mindset, that now everyone at Wizards follows. Maybe he wasn't directly responsible for the commander products, but they are made following those patterns. Maybe he didn't even invent that mindset, but he is famous of talking about it for hours and really liking it.

Given his creative control that makes him an easy person to blame.

So my friends and I play a very convoluted Archenemy/Planechase/Wargame mash-up.

I'm going to be playing the archenemy next round, who would be a good commander for five color infect?
>>
>>54166297
Stoneforge Mystic is way better if you want equipment so it's pretty fair.

Enlightened Tutor can get any enchantment or artifact for 1 less mana and the cost of a card. Idyllic can get any enchantment for only 1 more mana. You can tutor for an equipment for 1 mana iirc.

It's really nice that this tutor is just an uncommon though.

I don't see a problem with gimmicks in normal sets/standard, maybe outside of making planes a gimmick but that doesn't really affect the game. However for commander products we would be fine with just more legends, we really didn't need planeswalkers or Derevi.

There goes any hope for a different banlist. We are stuck with Sheldon and his retarded decisions forever.

>>54166821
>I really dont understand why you would be shocked, there arent that many infect cards in magic and using all 5 colors opens up the card pool

Infect works best as a strategy when you either have one card that you always have available that has Infect (Skittles) or you have something that does easy damage like Saskia or Nekusar and becomes broken with a single Infect effect. Scraping the bottom of the barrel to try to play "Infect Tribal" is ridiculous.

If you're married to the idea of multi-color Infect that doesn't follow one of those strategies, just run Atraxa. Red has the least Infect anyway.
>>
>>54167158
They didn't really rebel as much as all of the Praetors just decided that territories literally only matter in regards to conquest of one another as long as they gave a shit. Urabrask simply disliked the others and had his own ideas on attaining Phrexian perfection. Since he's so passionate and emotional, he was sympathetic towards Mirrans and let them chill in the Furnace Layer of the plane, and simply did as he pleased, disrupting other Praetors as they tried to approach him and working on "The Great Work". At some point Elesh Norn just decided that other Phyrexians are cucks, and she went on a crusade (which is multiple layers of ironic) and erased Sheoldred's and Urabrasks armies and territories. The few remaining Mirrans fled at some point, and we don't know where Urabrask is anymore.
>>
>>54166941
>banning all these cantrips
The fuck? Why? They aren't even that good, unless you intend on storming off. I run them all in a few decks and I'm always underwhelmed.
>>
>>54167292
What's the deal with Atraxa's colors and her being the voice of praetors? Are there any red phyrexians left?
>>
>>54167013
I feel like they want the format to be Baral/Jace vs Nissa/Selvala. I wonder what Nate P has to say on the banlist, his Breya deck has been really fun to watch grow.
>>
>>54167300
Cantrip are extremely powerful, card selection allows you to adapt to the board state for cheap
>>
>>54167324
Urabrask didn't give a shit about anything that the other Praetors were doing. The rest of the Praetors would regularly communicate with each other, even if they despised each other. Elesh Norn, Sheoldred, Vorinclex, and Jin-Gitaxias all worked together on melding an angel into a Phyrexian product of Compleation™ and viewed her as an image of perfection. As such, they call her the Praetors' Voice because she's literally everything they wanted out of New Phyrexia.

No, there are so few that there might as well not even be any left, and what few might be hidden are being purged by Elesh Norn's forces.
>>
>>54167240
How can you even say that like it's a bad thing after seeing WotC's banlist? I'm glad we just have to deal with Sheldon's tism.
>>
>>54167387
You're fundamentally missing the point. They get exponentially worse the later in the game you get, unless you're storming off. At best they net you one card, and better card selection. At worst, you pop it, blaze through your gas, then instantly regret not using something that gives better raw card draw. As 3-ofs they're nuts, as a singleton card included in a deck, they're profoundly meh, unless your whole deck is cantrips and it's a key part of your strategy.

It seems to me they're going to make a completely neutered unfun format that has literally nothing to do with EDH, other than the name. Watch Daze, Forcespike and Counterspell get hit.

2 questions;

Does the populated token get exiled at the end of combat?

Will I have to keep separate exile piles for the copies?
>>
>>54167453
Wouldn't the populated tokens also be attached to Flamerush's exile effect?

In what way does filtering out your draws get worse late Game?
They keep you from getting flooded or running out of gas
Consistency is the most important part of a winning deck, competitive or otherwise.
>>
>>54158462
Also why BUG is top tier in Legacy.
>>
>>54167494
If the token is created via populate, it won't have the exile clause and will stick around. I was just confused by why the angel is in there.
>>
>>54167522
Assuming your intention is to populate a copy of Admonition Angel made by Flamerush Rider, this is what will happen on landfall:

>Each Admonition Angel token copy will exile a nonland permanent under itself
>When each token leaves the battlefield, you return to the battlefield each card exiled under that specific token
>The populated ones will stay on the battlefield as if they are regular Adomintion Angels, where the Flamerush Rider tokens will simply exile at the end of combat (unless your intent is to use a fetchland and quickly flicker something)

Does this answer your question?

If I weren't at work I would explain in agonizing detail how wrong you are.

It's 1v1 banlist and they are clearly experimenting. I don't know if WoTC would do better than him, but if they would come up with their own for multiplayer mtgo only, we could judge if it's better or worse. That would make for a good experiment.

The RC banlist is just a mess, things are banned despite better alternatives being available that are perfectly legal and stuff like that. I

>>
>>54166540
It is, but you can still see pretty well what's written
>>
>>54167583
Different anon, I'm actually really curious. All I see with a late/endgame cantrip is a replacement for what you drew, similarly to a cycle. At that point in the game, sure it's slightly better in that you might get a better card in its place, but at that point, the cantrip itself is almost a waste of mana that gives you another choice.

I mean, unless your commander is Ink-Treader Nephilim, in which case every single drawn card is extremely dangerous.
>>
>>54167541
>t1 you pop *insert cantrip here*
>filter your cards, have better access to things you actually need when you otherwise couldn't use the mana
>t3 you pop your cantrip, leaving 2 mana open
>you get one card, better filtering, and have access to a few things to help you out, but as soon as you chain another card to it, you begin to lose your card advantage, unless you're cantripping again
>t5 you pop your cantrip, leaving 4 mana open
>you get one card, better filtering, and have 4 mana open. If you cast another spell, unless the spell is incredibly powerful, you're left at -1 Card Advantage. While situational filtering may or may not be better in this situation, you would be better off drawing more cards at a higher CMC to refill your hand
>t10 you pop your cantrip
>reasonably, you can cast just about anything in your hand at this point, while filtering is good if you're looking for a combo piece, or playing Maelstrom Wanderer, you'd be better off running something much more expensive to give you raw card draw
>>
>>54167494
>>54167495
Also if you're curious about what keeps the exile effect and what doesn't, look up rulings on Kiki-Jiki since he's the most common card with a similar effect. Only tokens actually created by Kiki-Jiki have the sacrifice trigger, and if you have a Doubling Season effect, the additional tokens are still created by Kiki. However, an ability like Populate or a spell like Second Harvest create their own tokens, and since they were not created by Kiki, they don't need to be sacrificed.

most decks should be tuned to the point where this is the case, 75% decks included
but even in less tuned metas after the first hand full of board wipes most decks will run into issues of drawing more gas, and its just way more efficient to spend one on a preordain, see two and potentially a third if you bottom them both rather than paying 4 to draw 3

The entire deck is just full of copy and steal effects.

>>54167811
You're almost right. I see where you're coming from, but this is how I understand things:

>spent mana + number of cards drawn = gas curve
>filtering cards, while extremely powerful, is inherently worse than tutoring exactly which card you need
>therefore, if your gas curve is on t5 or t6, the number cards you draw will be more important than which cards you draw, unless you can tutor something to your hand, or abuse it through another interaction

While in your example, you're right that looking at 3 cards is often better than drawing two cards, both situations could get you something that doesn't situationally help you advance the boardstate, or enable some fuckery.

All of the current swords are commonly used phrases for dualities, so you'd need to go for similar phrases.

GW Sword of Peace and Tranquility
WU Sword of Law and Order
UB Sword of Fear and Doubt
BR Sword of Pain and Suffering
RG Sword of Strife and Fury

Might need to come up with a different GW one, to keep from overlapping "Peace".
