What commander(s) are you running?
>>
>>54471169
Nothing really tends to be off the table unless its either out of my price range or breaks the theme of my deck too hard. I've learned my lesson about gudstuf decks and how unfun they are to play, so I prefer not to just cram as many in as I can. If a card is good for a combo or theme, I'll run it regardless of reputation.

You can run him that way. I just run him as a blue goodstuff general without infinite combos.

Unless they really fit: stuff like Avenger of Zendikar, Craterhoof, most clone cards, Lab Man, etc. One of my early decks was pretty much UG gudstuff+clones and it got really boring to play after the first few games.

It carries a very negative reputation from other formats and it's still a counter when you're tapped out. I can understand why anon feels that way even if I don't find it that egregious.

Marath is probably the better card but if you want to run more Naya goodstuff/beatdown Samut is the better option.

>What cards so you avoid out of principle? Does it hamstring your deck from its highest potential?

Any card that prevents other players from playing Magic. "Fun" cards like Possibility Storm, MLD, etc. I also prefer to stay away from any turn 1 mana rock.
>>
>>54471547
>Possibility Storm
Normally I would agree, but it's a key piece to my Mishra deck.
>>
>>54471574
You have other options. Also, you don't play with me, so you can play whatever you want. I suggested it to a local Daretti player, because it seriously helped his deck, but I regret it ever since. I've never had fun playing with Possibility Storm, and why am i playing if I'm not having fun?
>>
>>
>>54471627
I mostly use it because it combos really well with my general and my group doesn't seem to mind it too much. We've had some laughs off it since my friend who plays Animar usually ends up flipping one medium sized creature for a massive one.

>>54471169
>What cards so you avoid out of principle? Does it hamstring your deck from its highest potential?

>"Chaos" cards except for the fringe scenarios in which they actually synergize with the deck
Pic related is a good example of synergy.

>Pillowfort cards
Again, unless I have a reason--my Karona, False God deck is choc full of them.

>MLD unless it's a win-con
I'm not against MLD, I'm against MLD without a plan. If I've got a deck full of mana-rocks and Avacyn's my Commander, dropping Armageddon in there is fine. If I've got a mono-red deck with nothing but basics, Ruination is a great choice. If I'm just putting it in there to make the game longer, I'm building a bad deck.

>Counterspells
Not really something I "avoid", but unless the deck has a central combo I'm trying to protect I usually keep them to a minimum. And I usually don't build decks around a "central combo" anyway, because I don't like my games to feel samey. So countermagic is kind of de facto avoided.

>Tutors
Kind of the same deal. I'm not against tutors, but I am against samey games, and a ton of tutors will often lead to me just fishing for my game-winning combo and then playing it. I might drop Demonic and Vampiric Tutor in a deck with black in it (they're fantastic cards), but I try not to go too crazy with it.

Does this "hamstring" my decks? I guess so? I suppose it depends on how you define "highest potential". Obviously decks that don't include powerful cards are going to be less powerful. But I don't build my decks just to win, I build my decks to win in ways that are enjoyable to me.

I imagine one of the precons would be best. It won't be a great deck, but they're designed to be simple, easy to get ahold of (as opposed to buying 100 singles from game stores or online), and relatively cheap.

I mean, he could have better decks, but if he is literally brand-new to the game it's probably best to keep it as simple as possible.

Any other recommendations?
>>
>>54472070
Necropotence is one of the most commonly underrated card for beginners. When it first came out it was ranked as the worst card in the set it was in.

You can pay that one life as many times as you want. If you have 40 life you can pay 39 of it and draw 39 cards, then sculpt your hand however you'd like. Necropotence teaches two things. 1 card is a lot more important than 1 life, and the only point of life that matters is the last one.

There are two other cards that trade 1 life for 1 card, Yawgmoth's Bargain and Griselbrand. The reason that Necro's legal and those two aren't is that Necro needs you to wait for the end phase.

>I'm absolutely stunned
>I go down to 39 life before it's even my turn
>he doesn't even apologize
I haven't even had one turn, so it was impossible for me to interact with the trigger. If he let me just play one island I could have stifled the trigger and still been at 40 life. Instead he targets me out of pure spite. We all talked about it and it was pretty clear that he only wanted me to be at 39 life so that I wouldn't win. He was going all on about how he is perfectly allowed to scorch me, but he didn't even think for a second about how I felt about it. It would have been infinitely preferable if he gave me just one turn to get up stifle mana or find a way to gain some life. Instead he tries to act like just because the game lets him do something that its ok and my feelings don't matter. We all agreed that targeting me was unnecessarily spiteful considering he had another land in hand he could play, or he could have mulliganed to a hand that had less hateful cards. We all agreed to just play as if I was at 40.

What I don't get is how people like him think its a good idea to play like that with regular playgroups. You know that by hitting me with scorching desert, it's just going to make me bring out my five color stonerain.dek and completely remove his ability to play next game. Since then we have houseruled that you're not allowed to hurt others players if they don't have a way to interact with it. Our players that have some social awareness and aren't completely autistic have all agreed with this rule and it has done a great job of weeding out the players that have offensive personality traits, such as having skin any thicker than plastic food wrap.
>>
>>54472169
Yeah, considering how important the life total is to whether or not you're still in the game, it's understandable why, to newer players, it's not intuitive that life is a highly effective resource, especially in EDH.

I'll never forget the looks on my 5-man pod's faces when I dropped Necropotence and paid 20 right off the bat like it was nothing. Man was that was a learning experience for the lot of them.
>>
>>54472169

i feel like it needs more card draw and less counterspells. i want it to be fun and somewhat powerful but a bit different than a normal blue deck. i went towards artifacts instead of instants/sorceries as is more common.

i literally just had an empty spot and didn't know what else to put in. a lot of the people i play with run nothing but non-basics and so i thought it would help give the deck a fighting chance against fancier tech. especially since 6 of my 8 non-basic lands tap for red anyways.

How highly do you rate discard versus card draw? Do you believe that in a 4 man game making each opponent discard a card is better than, worse than, or equal to just drawing a card? What about just making one opponent discard 3 cards?

If they are not equal, at which point do they become equal and why?

Was fiddling with a deck and took out some discard elements for draw, was wondering what others thought.
>>
>>54472627
on another planeswalker note, Daretti, Scrap Savant can do a lot of nice shenanigans with artifacts and recursion
>>
>>54472681
Discarding is much weaker than drawing. The only possible exception is in something like Nath when you have an advantage to discarding, but even then draw is still heavily favored, for the simple reason that when you draw you are gaining access to more of your deck, while when opponents discard they aren't always losing access. Imagine forcing Karador to discard. You've just helped him out.
>>
Craterhoof should be fucking banned.
>>
>>54472681
A good rule to use is that if something gives your opponent choices in the final effect, is almost always a weak effect. So effects that let your opponent discard a card of their choice is much much worse than yourself getting to draw a card because it's very likely that someone will have a card in their hand that they can toss with few qualms like an extra land.
An argument can be made for targeted discard like thoughtseize where you get to look at their hand and get rid of the card that is the biggest threat to you

Literally why? What your saying right now is "Hey, my opponent built up a board full of mana and creatures and shouldn't be allowed to try and win". Even if you don't shut someone down from having a shitton of creatures in play, you still have instant speed options like counterspell, fogs, wraths and shit that stops etbs.

Craterhoof is an exemplar of what most people in this format try to promote. You are just coming across as a salty combo/control player that sucks at the game.

Hey. Poor people need decor too.

>>54472535
I feel the opposite. Infinite turns to win the game suck because I usually have to sit there and let you resolve everything. Sage of hours lock prevents this because it's one card, but narset is a stupid cunt

I don't mind a time warp for an extra turn to put you ahead tho
>>

>Literally why? What your saying right now is "Hey, my opponent built up a board full of mana and creatures and shouldn't be allowed to try and win".

i think that the contraption interfaces are a lot more complex than most of the interactions wotc puts in it's sets

they're probably worried that people who aren't super fluent in the rules would be confused by the multi-purpose nozzles

is cyclonic rift really that big of a deal? If you're playing blue and don't have access to Red White or Black it's pretty much the only boardwipe you have access to, and anybody with any of those colors has tons of them

Imagine if white got a 7 mana instant that destroyed every nonland permanent your opponents controlled. Blue has tons of mass bounce that isn't CRift, and just like White, Red and Black's wipes, they hit your shit too. Pretty much everyone in my group decided to stop running rift on their own because it ruined a lot of games with the incredible tempo swing with no downside.

What white wipe ignores your own shit for 6 mana my dude? Do you have an OG Avacyn out?
Rift's power comes from it being an asymmetrical effect.

For comparison, black has to pay NINE mana at SORCERY speed to wrath its opponents' creatures and walkers while leaving their own alone. Rift hits everything but lands at instant speed. Granted, rift doesn't destroy like an actual wipe, but the tempo loss is so severe that your opponents probably won't recover before you win (assuming you don't win on the spot). And it ignores everything from indestructible to undying and regeneration. The only protection against Rift is to play blue yourself and counter, or meme it up with shit like Ghostway.

If a blue deck is holding onto 7 mana you deserve it, if they cheated the cost lower with other cards that is the same amount of setup to make rift good that white needs to do to to make planar cleansing good.

This, as well as any card that has the potential to completely lock out a single person.

Lock everyone out of the game while you stroll into a win? Fine, at least someone doesn't have to sit off to the side and watch everyone else play Magic.

Cards that can instakill a player, knocking them out early? Has to happen sometime, and just makes the game go by faster.

This, Imprison in the Moon, Mindslaver, Identity Crisis, are just fucking lame.

>>54473808
You're right. The easiest boardwipe to build around to not have a downside is this little known card called Cyclonic Rift. It costs 6U and it bounces all permanents you don't control, at instant speed.

>>54473856
Imprison in the Moon is a fair card that teaches people to either not rely solely on their generals or to pack removal.

Not other guys you are talking to comparing it to a wrath, but it's value as a tempo card depends a lot on how much of a board opponents have. If your opponents play lots of permanents and everything is on the board since turn one and nothing has been removed? It looks insane, and maybe that's the meta your used to. But that isn't everyones meta. In many, the board gets wrathed at least once every 3 turns or so, and the card looks more like a situational time warp than an actual wrath, especially since all your creatures get their etbs again. When I play and want to win with combat (which is most of the time, I like playing that way) I have to build my decks with outs to wraths, and since shit like terminus, merciless eviction, rift, and toxic deluge are probably more common than a normal wipe like wrath of god you have to build your deck with outs to them. It could be ghostway style shit, or saccing and bringing back your guys with living death, floating mana and flashing creatures in after, counterspells, whatever.

We live in an age of new board wipes, adapt negro. Dauntless escort won't save you. Use different cards that avoid rift.

Focus on mono white hate bears up to 4 cmc, say have about 12-16. Then chuck in Birthing Pod with a good set 5+ cmc creatures that close games / combo off, have about 6-10. But taper off on the higher end CMCs

Make one of those creatures Odric and have a couple of value keyword creatues in your deck - ie, Baneslayer Angel, Oketra and Nylea.

Run exile enchantment + artifact spells, about 10.

Run stuff like Godsend, The Sword of X and Y cycle and Sword of the Animist from CommDamage wins, about 5.

Run 34 lands + Sol Ring + Chromatic Lantern.

Fill the rest with meta tech.

Be hated on by friends, yet still manage to do well.

Eh, imo CRift is just one of those cards that every color has that is ridiculously good, pretty much irregardless of overall deck strat.

Scientists can be in any colour, but learning for the sake of learning leans heavily blue.
>>
>>54474298
Black is the only one with a really big issue with enchantments, and it usually doesn't need its commander to work.
Blue has counters and can bounce.
Green has plenty of enchantment removal.
White has a decent amount.
Red has some, but it mostly specializes in killing artifacts when it comes to removal. It especially hurts for red because they usually thrive on their unique generals.

This is of course only if you play mono-color. Adding even one color (unless its Rakdos colors, then you're fucked) gives you plenty of removal options. And commander tax doesn't really bother some colors very much. Sometimes locking out a general is the smart play. It doesn't prevent them from playing, it just means they need to have a backup plan.

I never did either of those things though. Stop making shit up. I said that there are many metas with lots of wraths. Not did I ever insinuate that it was bad, just not a ban worthy super card.

You are the one pulling baseless statistics out of your ass. You literally cannot prove that it's the second most played card in the format, only that there are a lot of people putting the card in tapped out decklists, which has no correlation with how many actually get played. I could make a million decks with storm crow in them (or more realistically, set up bots to do it for me). It wouldn't prove a damn thing about the power level of storm crow or how often it gets played.

Stop outright lying and using fallacies. More importantly, git gud.

So this shit just happened
>play finely tuned breya against sliver queen, animar, and a totally not netdecked brago
>game starts sorta slow but it gets more tensed as it feels like everyone is racing to get their combo out
>get both ashnod's altar and eldrazi displacer out and ask if there are any responses which nobody says they do so I proceed to combo out
>brago flips his shit I should've stated I had a infinite combo and tells me to go back so hecan cast swan song to counter the altar
>altar doesn't get because invalid target so he just grumbles about me being a cheater trying to sneak a win
>ask once again if there is any response, still no replies so continue the combo
>animar goes oh shit I have a response and does cyclonic rift targetting displacer
The game then proceeded for another 2 hours with both animar and brago bitching about infinite combos being unfair after their attempts of casting ancestral statue and strionic resonator respectively until me and sliver queen scoop when they can't decide how to handle zegana being bounced by a capsize and start arguing with each other, specifically if you still got the draw off zegana. Not mad about them disrupting me as shit happens but is it fucking hard to look at your hand and determine if you have an answer?
>>
>>54474552
Black is good at generating a lot of mana very quickly, so you can also just rely on Karn, Ugin, and Scour if you really need to.

Isn't part of this entire game making judgment calls based on unknown information? What the hell is the point otherwise?

>>54475285

You do. In a situation where the characteristics of a permanent would be checked and that permanent has left the battlefield, you use its last known values.
>>

>Animar bitching about combos

>>54473137

the fact that contraptions will never be a real mechanic is incredibly disappointing.
>>

Its not like I didn't announce the cards I was playing and don't care if people ask to see it to see what it does but yeah even sliver bro was aware of the combo. I feel like brago was just salty because he didn't win a single game.

>>54475337
I didn't stick around to give input, everyone was getting tense and I felt it was better to get the hell out of there.
>>
>>54475285
>Brago can't read his own cards and doesn't understand simple rules stuff like last known values

I just wish they'd show the fucking lists already so I know what's safe to and not to buy. It'll feel fucking bad if I upgrade my Kaalia manabase from Anthology just to find out the Mardu Vamps included a bunch of good lands, or pay out for some dragons for them to get reprinted too. And who the fuck knows what's in the cleric/wizard(?) deck. Maybe there are some good demons in that.
The only thing that feels safe to buy are the angel part of it.
>>
>>54475717
>a bunch of good lands

Just look at the manabases from previous Commander series. You're not going to see Fetches or Shocks, so feel free to get that kind of stuff.
>>
>>54472420
I was think of making a deck with Sygg, River Guide as the commander and add that one combo that another anon suggested where he uses the enchantments Decree of Silence and Solemnity to basically lock out any kind of retaliation or creature summon.
>>
>>54475862
Why bother with Sygg? That sounds a lot more like a Grand Arbiter Augustin deck.
>>
>>54473754
Would go well with Jace's Erasure or Sphinx Tutelage or that one card that basically makes your target player mill two cards for every card that you draw.
>>
>>54475885
True, but people would be aiming me the moment I bring out Augustine.

If I'm going through the trouble of making each of my opponents discard a card, I want to draw at least that many cards, get an amount of black mana, maybe a few zombies, I want their ancestors' spirits to do my nails and hair, and I want them to discard another card
>>
>>54471169
I'll try to avoid any two card infinite combo, 3 if one of the 3 is my commander. Also any card over like 30$ if the reason it is $30 is that it is strong as fuck. Like I will run a damnation in my deck still.

Only the cards truelly sought after in constructed play (Explosives, Opal, Chalice, etc.). And Sol Ring.

BFZ ones are still around their starting price, except for Horizon Canopy - for the same reason.

Extra turns. Infinite combos. Mindslaver effects. Cards over 10$. I also don't like to run too much counterspells even though one of my decks is Arcanis the Impotent.

All of my decks have only a few cards over 3$ and I keep winning games against decks with much higher priced decks. I also tend to not run infect. But I just added Tainted Strike to a few of my decks because they are easy win usually.
