Thread Question:
Should alternate casting be castable from the Command Zone as if it were from your hand? With or without tax? Why or why not? Examples are welcome.
>>
>>54202531
>Thread Question:
Not. Even with tax that would be too cheap.
If you want to cast a commander with alternate costs, find a way to put the commander in your hand.
>>
>>54202531
Yes. There's one legendary creature with suspend, Ith, and two with Ninjutsu, Higure and Ink-Eyes. Kolaghan and Zurgo Bellringer have Dash, but you can already dash from the Command Zone. Higure is Ninja tribal, Ink-Eyes is yet another black reanimator except you can't surprise anyone from the Command Zone, and still takes 4 turns to come in and is just a Maze of Ith as a creature anyways.
>>
>>54202650
and Ith* still takes 4 turns to come in.
>>
>>54202531
Painful experience says against anything about cheap/free casting, since there isn't a person who wouldn't abuse that to full degeneracy
>>
>>54202531
Can anyone explain why WOTC is being so tight lipped on C17.


This isn't normal is it?
>>
>>54202856
What do you mean? It's too early to start with spoilers.
>>
>>54202856
Almost like they don't want to distract from the big set releasing in a week. What a crazy idea.
>>
>>54202856
It's not out until August 25th and there are only 56 new cards, so yeah the secrecy is normal. Also bear in mind SDCC is in two weeks, so we'll probably get some info on it and Ixilan at that point.
>>
I know we're opposed to Commanders that reference the Command Zone, but what about other cards? Like an Sorcery that would have Flash as long as your Command Zone was empty, or an Enchantment that had different modes - even possibly negative ones - of depending on where your Commander is?
>>
Another question for the thread: would you like to see a Commander release have it's own plane/tell it's own story like Conspiracy did? Where the five decks represent factions or groups, and all the art was themed, even on some of the reprints and the lands?

Also, on a completely different tangent, wouldn't New Phyrexia be a great setting for the next Conspiracy set?
>>
What do you think of all the monarchcards from Conspiracy 2?
>>
>>54203014
Not really. The best thing about commander stuff is that they get to make legendaries that didn't see the light when the standard set was on their plane. Of course, you get some disappointing cards like Ludevic and O-Kagashi, but the rest is quite nice.
>>
>>54203109
matters on the card, introducing monarchy into an EDH game is always interesting.

its a mechanic that will never go away, and powerful card draw.


I dont remember off the top of my head if there are any EDH worthy cards that require monarchy/effects based on it, other then marchesa herself.
>>
>>54202973
I don't think that cards that reference where the commander is are a problem. I could see something like:
*Names* Vengeance W
Instant
Tap target creature
Revenge:If your commander left the battlefield this turn, exile that creature instead
>>
>>54203166
Regal behemoth and skyline despot are pretty okay.
>>
>>54203109
I like them, but most of them seems not really strong.
I made a Marchesa deck from the scraps of my Saskia precon, put some monarchy and voting matters cards and had some funny shenanigans happen.
But then again, my playgroup is extremely casual.
>>
>>54203166
>>54203217
Specifically, I'm looking for the best boros colored monarch cards.

Palace jailer and Skyline Despot ain't bad
>>
>>54202531
>Thread question
I've been casting My commander off of shit like as foretold and dream halls, is that wrong? Is so, why?
>>
>>54203317
Also I do still pay tax tho
>>
>>54203332
You'd be correct. These cards only negate the physical card's mana cost, other payments like tax would still be applied.

Kind of similar to how Thalia adds a cost to force of will.
>>
>>54202925
Implying there is new ixalan stuff to reveal after the leaks.
>>
Finally got an Academy Ruins to ruin the lives of anyone that plays against my Sydri deck. Now I just want to pull a Bolas tomorrow for either a new Grixis deck or my Progenitus deck.

Any hopes for HOU cards you're hoping for at the prerelease?
>>
>>54203560
It has 279 cards, they revealed 1 (ONE) foil sheet, and even then you can't read most.
>>
>>54203594
>Any hopes for HOU cards you're hoping for at the prerelease?
I'm planning on doing a Scarab God deck, but I'd build a deck with any god I can pull first.
>>
>>54203594
not really. probably scarab or locust god or nicol bolas. otherwise an invocation.

what are the good sealed colors this time?
>>
I cannot stop playing a deck with white in it, which is the un-whitest deck there is?
>>
>>54203778
Yidris?
>>
>>54203166
The only Monarch cards I would consider playing are:
>Custodi Lich
>Keeper of Keys
>Knights of the Black Rose
>Marchesa's Decree
>Queen Marchesa
>Regal Behemoth
>Skyline Despot
>Throne of the High City

And that's scraping the bottom of the barrel. The only one I've actually ever bothered to play is Custodi Lich.

And you can also use alternate costs like Dream Halls and they'll still require the 2 mana tax per death. Pretty good if your general is very expensive like Progenitus. Someone had the rules mixed up if they weren't allowing alternate costs for generals.

Help
>>
>>54204015
I worded it poorly but abilities like Suspend and Ninjutsu that act as alternate casting costs but require being cast from the hand as per their rules. You could probably lump in things like Phage's triggered ability into the discussion as well.

Basically, aside from tax, should casting a Commander, for all intents and purposes, be seen as being cast from the hand?
>>
>>54204243
>all gods, including locust AND niv
Huh
>>
>>54204015
>>54204043
I'm assuming they mean alternate costs that don't actually cast the creature, like Suspend or Ninjutsu. Basically "what if there were a functional errata saying 'hand or command zone' on these abilities".
>>
>>54204271
im sure locust is good in niv and viceversa
>>
>>54204277
locust would be good in the 99 for niv, but niv for locust would depend on which niv.
also I thought it was implied that each ordered card would be the helm of a deck
>>
>>54204151
I checked mine, they had a couple of the 2016 decks in the 29.99 packs, but I passed on them, wasn't Breya or Atraxa.

Just bring up mtggoldfish on your phone and check the decklists, they have the prices for the whole deck.
>>
>>54202531
The only LGS in the city that doesn't loudly proclaim that Commander is cancer and needs to die is getting closed because jealous bitches pestered WotC with "reports" until they lost the WPN.

My interest in C17 greatly diminished.
>>
>>54204407
depends on what you want to play really. You are very late and C16 is at the end of its cycle soon to be replaced by C17, maybe you should wait for c17
>>
>>54202856
They release the decklists a week before release because if you don't pre-order blind like a good goy you desserve to deal with the scalpers.
>>
>>54203560

Why does there even need to be a discord link? We're in a general on an image board that's DEDICATED to the discussion of EDH, let alone one of the consistently fastest moving threads on the board. What possible benefit can discord add other than flamboyant off topic faggotry?

>>
>>54204319
Yeah, I want to build a deck for every card I just ordered. I bought niv-mizzet, firemind so I guess I could combine locust + niv.
>>
>>54204954
From what I have seen from other discords in other generals, it encourages a namefag circle jerk. Considering the only good trip we have is GA, everything else is cancerous. If you make it so the discord and namefagging is unacceptable you can save a general from certain death.

I am sure for the other people hating on it it's the same way. Just equate discord with namefagging and you will probably see why people dislike it.

Discord=Namefagging
>>
>>54205083
My issue lies with just namefaggotry. If they quit with the namefagging and trips and kept it in the Discord, we wouldn't have a problem. It's not that Discord = namefags, it's that namefags think just because they have a place to organize for games means they can keep their names here too.
>>
>>54205152
Discord would be fine if namefags kept their shit in the Discord and just for organizings games. But they don't. Namefags are inherently retarded and it's not the fault of Discord that namefags taint everything they touch.
>>
>>54204809
>Everyone I disagree with is samefagging.
you are just a moron after all
>>
>>54205185
Be honest with yourself here: Do you ever think they will stop?

I don't. It's in the nature of the kind of person that trips without purpose.
>>
>>54205255
Which means they'll do it, Discord or no. At least if it's in Discord they're not in the thread circle-jerking. The people who do so in the thread will do it regardless. The only solutions for a tripfag or a namefags is either a ban or a complete refusal to acknowledge their existence. Filtering them doesn't help because they'll still bother others.
>>
>>54205321
Yes, but the discord makes more of them. Which is why it has to be condemned. If you really want the info out there create a whole new thread, a "discord general" used to organize games of all types. Don't piggyback off our thread and kill it by slowly turning it into a tripfag circle jerk.

>>54205386
I'm not the one advocating for it, and personally I think it would be a good idea to have a separate thread dedicated to Discords or organizing games. It wouldn't have to be limited to EDH or MtG either, it could be used for online tabletop and wargames of all kinds.

Why do people take shit in EDH so personally?

"Why did you kill me, I dindo nuthin "

It's like sure, you aren't a threat right now but I can kill you and taking you out now makes it easier to kill everyone else later in the game. Idk I find it kind of funny how butt hurt some people get.
>>
>>54205462
you can get the original hand back if you choose through right? because it was still removed with the card
>>
>>54205546
Yes. You can essentially swap between two different hands each turn.
>>
>>54204260
I wish that they worked and it definitely would not make Ith or Higure overpowered (not even close). Maybe it's a slippery slope but I would play against them if someone wanted to house rule it and it is a shame they don't work. Derevi is far more obscene than any suspend or ninjitsu card.

The easiest games to win are when you have slightly off start, people take pity leaving you aside and you just win out of nowhere since they forgot that you're the combo player.

Doesn't apply to legacy lite decks tho

>Sounds like they hate money
Anon, it actually sounds like the opposite, since EDH makes stores fuck all for money. I have only seen one monetization scheme that works, and it's really only good when you have a fuck ton of EDH players to start with.
>>
>>54206266
>>54206204
Standard and Draft make stores the most money. EDH players are largely very entrenched players who rarely buy product, and only occasionally buy singles, which the store will typically only be making a slight margin on. When they do buy product, it's precons that the store usually only gets in small quantities. EDH players also typically don't participate in tournaments, so they're not paying tournament entry fees either.

EDH players are not good customers, is the bottom line.

Often overlooked Sunforger Target here. Gets through indestructible and can also function as a combo disruptor by either removing a key piece or forcing them to shuffle.
>>
>>54206708
That's neat and all, but most EDH players I know (myself included) don't buy that many singles, and never buy packs. If you buy less than 20$ worth of cards every time a new set comes out, they are going to kick you out to use your space for people that pay. Drafters, tournaments, etc.

To keep my LGS alive I just buy duals and other cards I am concerned about counterfitting with. Expensive shit I want to inspect in person with a loupe, and not having to worry about damage during shipping. Even then, they still don't have all the expensive old shit I need. It would be hard to find a place that can actually keep that kind of inventory in stock.

You are probably trolling anyway, but on the off chance you aren't you need to realize that you are spending fuck all.

I mainly support by LGS by drinking at their bar during EDH matches. I think I'm kind spoiled though, doubt that's a common thing to find in most shops.
>>
>>54207107
It is, liquor licenses are expensive, and in addition to that you have even more shit to deal with if food and beverage sales are too high of a % of your total sales.

But that would definitely be a baller way to monetize players if you can break through the associated costs.

Good choice. Tucking is almost always better than destroying.
>>
>>54207304
OK, this is bait but I'll bite anyway. You want an inspiring, possibly theatrical Wizard type, preferably of the waifuable female persuasion.

Your best choices are probably Azami (Best Wizard tribal commander, lets your other wizards do great things), or Blue Braids (Makes big stuff happen for everyone). You could also go with Uyo, Kaho, Rayne, or MAYBE Maralen if you feel like they've got something the first two don't. Of the three, Rayne is shit but the fact she's an Academy Chancellor might count for something, Kaho does tutor/combo spellcraft, and Uyo makes more magic happen. Maralen gives everybody the heart of the cards to draw whatever they need, which could seem really good, but she also locks down other draw, costs life, and leaves you in mono black.

I mean the mana cost. This is a budget Damnation in $$$ cost.

while its fun to make a build over a certain archetype, discard in general doesnt wrok that well in edh, mainly because you play free for all 4 players.

Your best bet is some form of self discard or mill for graveyard recursion

good for duel commander, bad for 4 players commander. Gets too much 'targeted' without red. You waste things like Dragon Mage.

>Bontu's Last Reckoning
>It's more comparable to Toxic Deluge

Funny thing, I've actually been debating between them for Scarab God. Toxic is objectivley the better card and I could fire it at X=3 to clear chaff without messing up my Eternals. But there's something about the unrestricted kill-it-all that makes me smile, the lore is deep, and I could pull the fucker when I go to prerelease on sunday. I guess whether I do or don't will be a sizable push since Toxic isn't what you'd usually call an expensive card so why not, but they do feel like they approach the same slot in somewhat different ways.

Best discard engines in EDH are Bottomless Pit, Necrogen Mists, Words of Waste, and Warped Devotion in UB. Gibbering Descent and Cuning LEthemancer are close. You've at least got that down.

You're going to hit problems, though, because discard alone isn't going to cripple your opponents: even the best tools for the job are just too slow. What you need is a Tax Package

Step 1) You are making all hands toxic... so dump your own as fast as possible. You want a low fucking curve. 3.0 or under is a nice target, if you don't quite make it that's OK. You also want to be ramping like a motherfucker. I want to see ALL THE MANA ROCKS, anon

2) Hands will be made toxic, so keep your opponents from getting cards out of theirs. Typically, you can do this by going right for where it hurts: hit them in their untap step and mana base. Winter orb is good. Static orb is good. Tangle Wire? Surprisingly effective with a couple other pieces. You can also throw taxers like Thorn of Amethyst, Sphere of Resistance, and Trinisphere if you listened to my first point and got yourself all the ramp, so you can pay while their development gets slowed to a crawl. There are some real high roller cards that are great for this, but start with the basics

3) Hands are toxic, but you need to mop up whatever got to the board. Best took for this is Smokestack, since it will chew away all permanents, land included. Again, an explosive development is an important part of playing this right, you need to be ahead on permanents so you can kneecap your opponents and stomp them down to 0 permanents while still retaining something for yourself.

In short, you need to morph into a Stax deck. But Frankly, you wanted to play Discard, it's not really that different: both strategies rely on running the other players out of resources and leaving them crippled and unable to fight back, and the Discard you're starting with can be a big component of a broader Stax plan.

>>
>>54209202
I'm not a rules expert by any means, but the word that you are looking for that seems to be confusing to you is "another" in the phrase "on target creature". If it was "put a -1/-1 counter on another target creature" it would exclude the beatle; however, it simply says place a counter on a creature. The beatle enters the battlefield, the trigger goes on the stack, and you choose your target. If your only legal target is the beatle, then you choose the beatle.

I don't think they word cards with "another" in such a way to preclude their castability unless they also use the phrase "as an additional cost to cast".

Hope that clears things up for you in the future.

So prior to the 1v1 commander on mtgo becoming a league, I had tons of fun playing commander.

Then the changes happened and now its the most boring shit I have ever played with every game being relentlessly boring or just mono blue counter spells the deck.

I miss the fast mana, since you know, you could have fun going from 0 mana to actually playing the game and fucking over blue decks.

Nowadays its literally oh they have 2 blue open, cool, no point playing a spell ever. Counter, counter, counter, bounce, counter, counter, bounce, counter.

Run things to make him indestructible. Darksteel Plate, Heroic Intervention, that sort of stuff. Find other Green boardwipe stuff. Bane of Progress, for example, or just run All is Dust/Nevvy's Disk.

We got to my turn and the planar deck decided to reverse the turn order, giving the big ol' spike ramp player no chance to play turn 1 until it went all the way back around the table.

It was very satisfying.

He came back and shit out a bunch of lands and won anyway, but didn't stop bitching about it the whole time.

is there way to build Lazav that isn't just mill or clone tribal?

>won

Sounds like your edh playgroup is one too large
In a 10 man game of planechase the planar deck somehow bounced around a player twice, fortunately this wasn't early in the game but unfortunately it was quite a bit into the game and turns were getting lengthy so they were reasonably upset and bored for a little while
>>
>>54217864
No? His ability doesn't just do much of anything interesting. Maybe you're looking for a different commander.

I mean, you can build him UB goodstuff, but that pretty much goes back to mill. If you want to build a non-mill Dimir deck, don't build Lazav.


>>54217890
I don't like that guy anyway. He crushed on our commander league with an infinite combo thrasios deck just to prove that the points system / extended banlist was flawed instead of sitting down and enjoying it like everyone else.

But it wasn't at my house, and I didn't invite him.
>>
I have a question concerning rules and wording. If a card creates a copy of another card and the copy gets destroyed, does it enter the graveyard as the copied card or what happens?
>>
>>54217918
>the points system / extended banlist was flawed

How can you be mad at a person who followed your rules, despite your rules being shit? Either make better rules or live with the consequences.
>>
>>54217864
>>54217892
>>54217918

i mean every time you kill a creature with lazav out, he can become a copy of that creature. which is pretty cool. i dont think you need to build lots of mill effects

the question is when you say a "way to build" what do you mean there. if youre asking US to come up with YOUR special snowflake theme deck then fuck off. if you cant have fun playing with normal, good cards then its YOUR responsibility to come up with something more your liking
>>
>>54217982
Like if you cloned something with a death trigger? Yeah it goes off
>>
>>54218010
So I could use the effect of Reassembling Skeleton for example, even though its a copy?
>>
>>54218044
Nah, in graveyard it becomes the original dude, but if it's 'when x dies do y' it'll go off
>>
>>54217983
They weren't my rules and I won't disagree that they were bad. I'm just mad because I wanted to play EDH, but he came in and took 30 minutes to combo out with a mindslaver/tasigur lock so that he could get all the points ever.
>>
>>54217983
To be fair, points systems are always exploitable and house banlists will never stop all degeneracy, but the expectation is that people will sit down and have an interesting, enjoyable, comfily lengthy game of edh
In reality, some people just go out of their way to find the fastest most consistent way of winning that wasn't house ruled away BECAUSE the house rules exist
>>
>>54218074
>>54218098
I can see where ya'll are coming from. I am probably too spikey in this regard. I don't think I'd go so far as to mindslaver lock everyone for a half hour but I'd shortcut some combo loop and demonstrate the issues I see with the rules.
>>
>>54218074
You know, mindslaver locking the whole table sounds hilarious but at that point you could just stay at home and play against yourself.
>>
>>54218205
I'd be fine with it if he didn't take thirty whole minutes.
>>
>>54218253

usually when it becomes apparent somebody can infinitely mindslaver the table, everybody scoops, so why did it take 30 minutes?

i think a combo can sometimes take 30 minutes, and thats if its unclear whether they are going to fizzle or not, like they need to keep drawing the right things or they will fizzle. usually some kind of storm deck
>>
>>54218387
He was abusing the points system to get more points. One of the rules(the game was being run by my FLGS) was that you couldn't scoop to stop people from getting points.

It was the first round and nobody wanted to waste their entry fee on only getting to 'play' a single round of commander.
>>
>>54213158
Nice best one desu
>>
>>54218411
What a dick head.
>>
About the combo with Scarab god, can it be done with Peregrine (yeah I know about the lack of self protection etc.) instead of Palinchrone? I got pic related in pre foil for 8 yuros so might as well build him.
>>
>>54212489
Was considering building Nicol Bolas with a bunch of cards that mention him in flavor text and some creature bombs. For Creatures I've got Mindclaw Shaman, the HOU grixis gods, Inferno/Frost/Grave Titans and Crosis. Missing anything good for creatures?
>>
>>54218616
>>54218616

>the combo with scarab god and palinchron

which one is that?
>>
I'm teaching my little brother with Downs Syndrome how to play. What's the most entirely literally retarded deck I can give him?
>>
>>54218699
phyrexian delver with palinchrone and DEN. Eternalize delver, get Palin, untap as usual, eternalize DEN, blink palin for dat mana and win with labman I think it goes
>>
>>54218744
Palinchron and DEN is already infinite, what bullshit is this?
>>
>>54218767
because sometimes they are in grave before you could win
>>
>>54218800
That doesn't make it a combo
>>
>>54218845
re-combo attempt then if you will
>>
Are Nissa and Nicol planeswalker deck versions playable in EDH?

Last sets Tezz planeswalker has done some good things for me at more casual tables.
>>
>>54218860
>>54218845
>>54218800
>>54218767
>>54218744

i gotcha, similar to what i would do with sedris + buried alive, but trickier because eternalize exiles
>>
>>54218881

nissa nature's artisan is completely unplayable

nicol bolas the deceiver is better but i still dont think hes playable

tezz master of metal isnt great but hes a lot better than those 2 in edh
>>
>>54218948
Now i realized that with sedris you can at least try to protect the unearth'ed by closet and eternal just dies, since you can't process your own stuff
>>
>>54219007

>cant process your own stuff

not sure what you mean here but yeah, what i would do with sedris was buried alive putting palinchron, runescarred demon, and archaeomancer in the yard, unearth palinchron to make a bunch of mana, unearth runescarred demon to get ghostly flicker, flicker pali and demon (or anything else) to make more mana, then unearth archaeomancer getting back ghostly flicker, then i would make infinite mana by repeatedly flickering archaeomancer and palinchron

alternatively, with no buried alive, if i had corspe connoisseur in the yard and ghostly ficker (or displace) in hand, i would unearth connoisseur getting palinchron, unearth pali to make mana, flicker connoisseur and pali to make more and put archaeomancer in the yard, then uneartharcheomancer getting back flicker and going infinite, which would let me put all my creatures in the yard and unearth them all for massive damage
>>
>>54219254
When you eternalize with scarab from enemy GY you can use Eldrazi processors to bring them back to yard from exile

It's fine, answers pretty much everything and can be flickered in response to save it iirc.

can i play vial smasher like everythings random and chaotic and pretend i didn't mean to hit this or that opponent.

oops, sorry - the deck, basically?
>>
>>54219344
Reminds me of Silumgar in the sense that it sets the atmosphere where opponents don't want to play their important stuff out. I kinda like that.

>>54219377
>can be flickered in response to save it iirc.
Sure can. It has everything to do with the location of the colon in the ability of course. Tap is the cost, exile happens on resolve.
>>
>>54219377
>>54219422
I was thinking of using it death and taxes style and have it be a recurrable piece of removal.
>>
>>54219334

ohhhhhh that processing
>>
>>54219403

no thats against the rules
>>
>>54218678
Disciple of bolas is a pretty big one. Strong too.
>>
>>54219403
You could but a smart opponent won't leave you alive to 1v1. Realistically they will figure out after first loss that you're too strong to duel.
>>
>>54219559
riiiight, can't believe I forgot about that. Gonna play a few stealing effects too I guess, Slave of Bolas has amazing art so that's a good pick. I wanted to build a themed deck for a more casual playgroup, since my uni playgroup was way more competitive and now I'm just pubstomping EDH nights with friends.

Krenko. Requires Addition (of goblins), subraction (Of your goblins from enemy life+defenses to make 0), and a corner case of multiplication (multiplying your goblins by 2), most cards are interchangable so just has to worry about the symbol matching to make stuff happen, which you aren't avoiding in M:tG since that's the core of the system. While you CAN play Krenko smarter if you just pick random cards in your hand to resolve you'll mostly fail forward, which I don't think I can say about other decks.

Plus, you won't have to throw the match TOO hard to let Krenko win now and again while teaching.
