Are there any suggestions that the commander product will get more than the lackluster spoiler season that the last few have gotten?
dont they just full out spoil them a week before they release and do no other spoilers before then?
what a complete wet blanket

>Ever play a commander who doesn't really pull their weight, or even necessarily even contribute? Did you end up with an OK deck/experience anyway?
many of the partner commanders are like this
its ok
I play a mono black Veldrane of Sengir deck because hes one good looking son of a bitch
its a fun deck I bring out against craw wurm metas it makes a lot of mana and plays big overcosted spells.

>Are there any suggestions that the commander product will get more than the lackluster spoiler season that the last few have gotten?
No.

TribalCommander is going to pretty much drop all at once, maybe over the course of a week if we're lucky. We only know a damn thing about it because WotC has sprung more leaks than a sieve lately.

Depending on the boardstate Mishra is pretty much dead weight, and the deck is just Grixis Artifacts. There's been games where he doesn't even come out because I haven't got Possibility Storm out or I know that my opponent's deck doesn't have any worthwhile artifacts to steal. It's still a fun themed deck and still operate as an average Artifacts Combo deck.

I've always felt like this guy doesnt really do much for his deck (food chain combo) other than give all 5 colours and then tutor up a win con once you ready. This has always bothered me because at least fcp uses prossh as a part of the combo not just to get something else to let them win.

>>54371290
I doubt it will because people actually want the commander precons. The planechase decks are all garbage.
Plus they specifically chose waifu commanders to reprint as foils.

>>54371710
What more do you want? He immediately tutors for any number of allies and can pump them infinitely large. Pretty good infinite mana outlet that is always available. No other 5-color general would lead his deck better.

>>54371290
I bought two of the lifecounters and got another one by accident. I was considering the Anthology because the value is there, but I have enough precons and can always buy a Titania or Stranglehold if I want to.

Fifteenth for "competitive toshiro" is an oxymoron.

>>54371877
Have you ever played against it?

>>54371801
Having defined pecs and gorgeous flowing locks does not make him a girl.

>>54371897
Against your specific pet list that you say is competitive? No I haven't. Post it so I can laugh at your definition of competitive.

>>54371916
Oh, so your opinion isnt based on experienced. What do you base it on?

>>54371754
I would say that i want the deck to play the commander before it immediately wins. Most games ive seen with him you just scoop once they get all the peices.like it seems like the deck would be the same if the commander was a five colour blood artist because thats more or less all tazri is, a legend thats five colours that gets a zulaport cutthroat.

>>54371936
If you're so sure that your deck is competitive, then surely you don't posting the list for proof.

>>54371996
I will, I've got to put it into tapped out first. In the meantime, tell me the basis of your opinion.

>then surely you don't mind*

>>54371877
Who ever said it wasn't?

>>54371964
Don't bother, the guy doesn't read lore and stuff.

>>54372012
Toshiro can't be competitive. Neither can mono-black. No decklist you make in either of the two categories can goldfish as fast/faster than the big dogs, nor is it as resilient as them, nor can it stop them pretty reliably. Some random anon on a board notorious for asking questions indicative of lacking deeper understanding about the game of Magic has not solved the puzzle everyone else couldn't, especially if you're using Praetor's Grasp and City of Brass in a mono-colored deck.

>>54371801
I couldn't tell by the picture. Thought it was a long haired man.

>>54371963
Yeah, pretty much. That's the cancer of combo piece commanders though. Prossh and Mikaeus function largely the same way.

>>54372083
>Neither can mono-black.
You clearly believe that "Competitive" means Tier 1 and Tier 1 only, a list of 10 commanders. Extend even so far as 1.5 and you hit monoblack in the form of Dragons Sidisi and new challenger Razaketh.

Opinion discarded.

>>54372083
Most of the top tier combo decks rely on creature based combos. Monoblack control is uniquely positioned delay these decks from completing their combo early in the game, because you have the cheapest instant speed tutors and the cheapest suites of removal.

Have you even played competitive, or are you just mindlessly regurgitating the "lolt2kill" meme?

Can you build a deck on tappedout without putting it online for everyone to see, so that you can just deckbuild even if you don't yet have all the cards you need?

>>54372185
And you clearly are looking for a way to back out of the corner you've painted yourself in. Post your shitty list so we can laugh at you.

>>54372083
>Neither can mono-black.
Sidisi ANT.

>>54372136
Oh, a faggot from the last thread, got it.

Toshi's pretty fun but yeah he's gonna flounder hard against Tier 1 and 2 cEDH

>>54372218
yes.

>>54372218
Sure, check the box for private while editing. I have almost a dozen private lists and no public ones.

>>54372224
Oh, I'm not captain Toshiro. He sucks. I'm just fact-checking your claim about mono-black.

>>54372110
Im fine with those two because they actually are part of the combo. Tazri just fetches you another part of the combo then does fucking nothing.

>>54372218
Yes. Check "is private" in the deck settings. Make sure you uncheck it before posting it anywhere or people will laugh at you.

>>54372218
Yeah, that's what the "Private" option is for, I use it all the fucking time to brew, theorycraft, and test.

>Ephara flashbears gets fucking stupid once Ephara herself is online

Thanks. I'm building a Brago deck but I'm not sure about balancing the mana cost of the various cards, and tapped out would really ease the job

>>54372196
>monoblack control in cEDH

This is real weak bait anon.

>>54372255
What? FCT makes infinite mana with Eternal Scourge and Food Chain, casts Tazri, tutors and casts Hagra Diabolist or Kalistria Healer, then exiles and recasts Tazri until everyone dies. Having Tazri in the zone is key.

>>54372341
Now I know you're meming.

>>54372376
>If I keep saying meme maybe he'll stop arguing with me

>>54372401
If you offer a substantive response instead of meme arrows, I'll be happy to reply with something more than calling you a memester.

>>54372196
>Most of the top tier combo decks rely on creature based combos
most of them rely on doomsday, storm or labman wins
most of the time your window of opportunity is very small and counter spells abound

>>54372415
Take an actual fucking look at cEDH. Traditional control DOES NOT WORK. Blue counterspell control can't whack-a-mole every fucker at the table and MBC doesn't have the tools to shut out Tier 1/2 combos. Control works in cEDH by being stax and paralyzing combo decks before they can go off since they typically won't have a margin at first. MBC cannot and does not do that, it is pubstomp at best. Perhaps if you mean in duel? You have a slightly better chance but you still are unlikely to have the tools to disrupt out a combo player unless you drink the Stax kool-aid.

>>54372347
Yeah but that could be any fucking ally. The fact that its tazri means nothing other than tutoring a blood artist effect and infinite etbs he does nothing.

Wanna build an old border deck, who's a fun general?

>>54371866
Seriously, I'm on the Discord and I get annoyed when I see you shill it like that. Make the OP yourself, or fuck off. I know how cancerous that circlejerk can get, so for the love of all that is holy, DON'T POST THE FUCKING LINK UNLESS YOU'RE THE OP!!!

It's the closest thing anybody's got to a decent source. If you don't like it, provide better.

>>54372432
They rely on creatures to generate the mana necessary to combo off anon.

Doomsday is typically lab maniac, which dies to the removal. Other variants can be disrupted with instant speed discard, or my favorite, creature kill+misinformation.

The wonderful thing that Toshiro offers to mono black control is resiliency to the counterspells. Every murder in your hand is another opportunity to cast something that was countered.

It's not a decent source. It's one random person's opinion who OCCASIONALLY moves things up or down slightly based on feedback from other random people. It's as decent of a source as any single post in this thread which is why deferring to it is worthless. In fact it's often time less than worthless because the person who made that list readily admits has hasn't played with/against the vast majority of the commanders, or the various builds of the commanders, in the first couple tiers.

>>54372651
>Stax is perfectly viable in a mono black control shell.
Monoblack is terrible for Stax. If you have any evidence otherwise, say some respectable list or primer, present it.

Perfectly viable =/= competitively tuned

The best monoblack lists don't go stax for a reason.

>>54372769
thanks for the input! do you have a decklist i can look at? i've added a bunch of mana dorks and ramp spells, but other than the ramp spells who fetch basics, the dorks mostly tap for green.

they are great always have at least one built

Speaking of stax, a guy at my shop is bringing bant stax to my shop as soon as he finishes it. I flipped through it and nearly every card is angled against me. I don't mean to say I think he's trying to target me (he might be) just that his deck is very good against mine. It will require a decent amount of reconstruction to avoid being hosed by any of the 10-20 cards he's packing that tax spells, tap lands or turn off artifacts. I'm a little beside myself at how drastic his list will be. I'll need to order a lot of cards and rethink or scrap my deck. I like a good arms race but Jesus, this guy is going to defcon 1 awfully fast.

I'm sweating dudes, but I shall persevere.

what color combo get access to the most cycling cards? I want to build an astral slide deck

>>54372755
In terms of recursion the first thing that comes to mind is academy ruins. I play muzzio too but my list is a lot more combo oriented. What kind of muzzio build are you looking for?

>>54372740
Monoblack lacks some of the stax pieces of other decks, but makes up for it with the best tutors in the game, mana consistency (relevant with a stax based deck), and good card advantage elements.

>>54372829

>>54372892
So you don't have any respectable decklists or primers to back up your claims?

>>54372947
you'll have to wait, every shitpost I respond to is less time I can spend pretending to work and posting things on tapped out.

>>54372882
I'd like to get more combos in, but I have two playgroups, one that's pretty casual and one more competitive. Second combos are fine, first one not so much. So currently it's mainly get a fat body out and crush, if mainly due to a lack of better methods. Reason I list those specific cards is that I can get them fairly cheap at the local shop, which is otherwise a bit lacking in selection.

>>54372950
Yeah I just noticed after posting. I guess I have access to the Elder Dragons too, though.

>>54372971
A quick google that you easily could have done yourself reveals this list, among many.

>>54373007
A quick google search for a random list on tappedout doesn't prove anything, much less for a commander few people think is a competitive commander.

the pod results suggest viability. Moreover, it's in line with my experience playing mono black variants.

>>54373007
this is way closer but also not exactly competitive, maybe squeak out a win every once in a while mostly its there to just play chainer because hes a cool guy, not really to win.

EDH rec isn't valid for serious discussion because it's tainted by non competitive decks diluting the card pool. I've already said what purpose it is valid for.

but dryad arbor + dork turn 1
land, tap for 2G and harvest for 2 lands on turn 2 seems pretty reasonable compared to other 2G spells that just adds one to the field and one to your hand.

Ridiculous; it's trying to punch a very particular threat (creatures), when on late game you most likely:
1- won't be able to target them
2- they will come back
3- they can tank it like a man.

Now compare to old bolas:
first and second ones take down any threat. That's all you really need in the game. Why would you bother to remove cards from the hands of your opponent, or hoping to topdeck something, when you can blow shit up?

>>54374799
>>54374977
I should also point out that old bolas makes YOU the threat, something the new one just doesn't. As i said, he IS good at the early game, but i think that's about it. You won't do it for 7 manas.

I think it is slightly win-more and it could have at least been a sorcery.

If you have a low cmc and play creatures early on turns 1 and 2 then it is good but if you're curving out that well then are you really looking for intense ramp?

It's definitely a decent card but I'd be hesitant to run it outside of a serious creature swarm deck like a token based strategy. I'd be very afraid of drawing it and having the mana but no tapped creatures in play.

What is the price? The old sets are comfy as fuck and I wish I had people near me that would want to play with them. Just making 60-card decks out of Homelands and The Dark to play casually would be an mtg dream for me. The best I can do is play EDH with as many playable cards from those sets, Legends, and Antiquities as possible.

Storm deck. Pack it full of cantrips and non-shuffling Wheels (for Dralnu fuel), then dump a Tendrils for lethal and Rise From The Tides as a backup plan.

Get more cheap artifacts to get more gas out of Paradox Engine. Maybe more wipes too, be judicious with counters and removal for the stuff that will really matter. Dralnu is rad, but a Doomsday deck wouldn't be my first choice with him.

>>54378407
Can be. I haven't gotten many games in, but so long as you hit your land drops 8.5 protects you, protects itself, and hits for commander damage.

Assuming you didn't get blocked, I'm pretty sure the double strike wouldn't increase the life you gain. Pretty sure SBA's are checked between first strike and normal damage, meaning the defending player would already be dead to commander damage.

Read sigarda's aid again, then read spectra ward again, there is no trigger there

>>54379615

Spectra ward specifically says it doesn't detach auras. The auras entering the battlefield without being cast may be attached to any creature without targeting. Normally if you attach a white aura to a pro white creature it would just fall off immediately as a state based action but instead it stays because spectra ward's text

117KB, 223x311px

>>54379615
>you may attach it to target creature you control.
Spectra ward has an explicit caveat written on its own card saying that the protection offered by the aura will not remove ANY auras on the permanent. However, once the Sigarda's Aid trigger for S.Ward resolves on Sram and he gains Pro.W, all following triggers of Sigarda's Aid that are still on the stack will fizzle because they are now targeting a ProW (illegal) creature.

>>54379673
Wrong, once Spectra Ward gives ProW all other Sigarda's Aid triggers will be countered by the game rules since the enchantment itself has a triggered TARGETED ability.

>>54379718

>sigarda's aid triggers

are we talking about godsend or behemoht sledge? white equipment are the only things for which a sigarda's aid trigger can be countered

>>54379732
see>>54379718
Once Spectra Ward enters and attaches to Sram, the Equipment that enters can't auto equip to him anymore b/c the Sigarda's Aid trigger for equipment resolve on a proW target.

>/tg/ can't play magic

>>54379732
sigarda's aid is white and is the trigger to attach equipment. the equipment are colourless, but the equip trigger is from a white source (sigarda's aid). by the time you are selecting targets for sigarda's aid, the spectra ward is already on the creature. this means that you cannot use sigarda's aid's triggers to attach the equipment.

how bad can a person be at magic?

>>54379753
>>54379732
Sigarda's Aid, a White enchantment is the thing that triggers and targets a creature. Once you resolve open the vaults, equipment enters and Spectra ward attaches and sigarda's aid triggers you can still target sram with these sigarda's aid triggers but they won't resolve since he will have gained proW upon resolution.

The equipment isn't targeting anything. The enchantment, Sigarda's Aid is doing it all.

>>54379782
this

>>54379768

>Once Spectra Ward enters and attaches to Sram, the Equipment that enters can't auto equip to him anymore b/c the Sigarda's Aid trigger for equipment resolve on a proW target.

yes, but any white AURAS, or non-white equipment, will be unaffected by this issue. also you still seem to think you must "stack triggers' such that spectra ward is attached last, but this is not possible, if you open the vaults, spectra ward and any other auras entering the battlefield will all be attached simultaneously to any creatures you wish, regardless of color protection or shroud

i repeat, auras cannot be on the battlefield unattached to a permanent. open the vaults is not finished resolving until all auras entring play are attached to a creature

once open the vaults is done resolving, THEN state based actions could unattach white auras from pro-white permanents, however, in the case of spectra ward, this will not occur

>>54379799

I actually have a question about protection: Say someone attacks with a green trampler, and the defending player blocks with something and gives the blocker protection from green. Can the attacker assign all of the damage to the defending player, since the blocker with protection from green can take no damage?

>>54380139
No

>>54380139
It functions similarly to an indestructible blocker (with the exception of a Double strike attacker)
they must assign lethal and than the rest spills over.

If a 10/10 trampler is blocked by a 1/1 pro.creatures, 9 spills over.

If a 10/10 double strike trampler is blocked by a 1/1 pro.creatures, 9 spills over in first strike and then 9 spills over in normal strike. This is because the defender was never marked with lethal in first strike so the trampler must assign 'new' lethal damage to it again in the second/normal damage step.

>>54380177
The pro X doesnt just fizzle the attack?

If someone drops Wheel of Fortune and a player has less than 7 cards to draw from in their library, does that player lose?

>>54380215
No, sadldly WotC decided to make Trample a Foil to Protection and Banding a Foil to Trample.

It wasn't intuitive to me, and I still wish Trample were worded like this: If an attacking creature would MARK (not assign) all creatures blocking it with lethal damage, the remainder may be assigned to the defending player/planeswalker.

Alas, in Trample vs. Protection, Trample Wins.

Lands are permanents, 8.5's abilities happen at instant speed, and my opponent wasn't a fan of reading.

>>54380453
Yeah, I misread/remembered his ability and thought that both affected only your stuff.

What commander should I use if I want to go U/W spirit tribal?

>>54380489
Brago, King Eternal
Geist of Saint Traft

Or any others

>>54380489
What >>54380536 said. Or Ephara. Or GAAIV.

>>54380474
Is there some way to build around this in mono white?

>>54380592
not any good way. it works better in a deck with black, that way you can pay a bunch of life to draw cards or do whatever you do in black, and then give someone else your shitty life total, letting you keep paying life.

>>54380592
Platinum Angel
Phyrexian Unlife
Angel's Grace

>Oh, you thought all that extra life was for YOU?

>>54380646
you can bring you life into the negatives for a kill

>>54380646
You can dip into low life totals to fuck an opponent to death

>>54380646
Keep yourself from losing at 0 or less life. Give them yours.

How about this?

>>54372232
Deck is a joke. It's not good in competitive metas, and it's not good in any semi-competitive meta that has blue. The only thing the deck has going for when fully built is speed, and in any of those metas it gets eaten alive.

I need advice on making this guy usable. I have some kind of red wall tribal worked out and various ways of getting around defender, but aside from that I am all out of ideas.

>>54380828
Obelisk of Urd would be good. Glyph of Destruction and Total War would be good too.

>>54377474
Tainted Remedy, Rain of Gore, False Cure, Leyline of Punishment, Havoc Festival, Stigma Lasher. Just off the top of my head.

>>54381188
Sulfuric Vortex

So what's with the new bans? Some one (that i don't know) in my local playgroup posted that there were new bans. Is it just for cEDH?

>>54381188
Tainted Remedy is a great deterrent to Memtraxa attack/blocking, its a shame Rain of Gore doesn't affect Lifelink.

>>54381211
I think its just for online play/duel commander

>>54381181
Great suggestions. I can drop Wall of Diffusion, not sure what else could be dropped though.

>>54381320
Belbe's Armor and Flowstone Surge you can get rid of. Belbe's Armor because I don't see any reliable mana ramp and Flowstone Surge because it only affects your creatures

>>54378599

You can just run her for the colour identity. She's a fantastic blocker.

>>54381232
I was going to say it can't be everything because both wizards and sheldons sites don't have the updates and the banned bruse tarl. Like wtf kind of weenie hut jr meta be banning Bruse?

Just keep him benched until someone in your playgroup picks up Doran and make his day a living hell.

If you're going to add that you might as well add better things than Colossus of Sardia-tier lore brutes.
