Nah, that seems obnoxious. I would rather have something I could easily see was tapped. You could sleeve up pictures of cute snakes though, I'm sure everyone loves seeing adorable noodles.
>>
>>54734732
If you're planning on scalping or giving them to your friends, but they could do multiple print runs and make all the good cards tribal only to keep the price down.
The Eminence ability all the commanders have is insane value that could break the game, the cat commander can shit out 5/4 turn one very reliably. I could see this infamous set being 300+ in a year if the commanders aren't banned or reprinted all to hell.

I'm probably going to buy a box, use one deck for myself, sell the chase one before the 2nd print run and give the other two to friends.
>>
>>54734697
because it's boring duh

i usually want to see the game progress and counterspells that just stop things from happening are lame af. the deck is durdly enough as it is so my instants should probably incur some clear advantage for me or at least be interesting

>>54734782
ya i have mind's dilation

i also want to keep the shitty instant tribal going on

i guess the deck is pretty much done then, probably going to order the cards soon
>>
>>54734923
I've never liked using counters to represent a quantity of tokens, as it's pretty common for the deck to put +1/+1 and -1/-1 (to a lesser extent) counters on my snakes.

>>54734942

Counterspells don't just stop things from happening though, they protect your commander and other shit while you continuously gain value, drawing cards and casting free spells
>>
>>54735679
figured out what you want to be doing with your deck, buy a pre con to learn the format, then build a real deck once you have the hang of politics and a better grasp on how a 4 person game flows
>>
>>54735679

I don't understand this kind of question. How could you not have any idea what you want to build? I don't understand the concept of wanting to play edh but not having any ideas floating around on what to build, and I don't understand wanting other people to decide your personalized deck. More than half the fun of edh for me is building decks and theorizing.
>>
>>54735701

Aren't the precons much worse than just doing research before building a deck myself?
>>
>>54735742
The precons are like instant ramen. By itself, it's okay but you can use it as a base to make something good.
>>
>>54735711
It's probably just overwhelming to get into a format as large as EDH starting out with nothing.

>>54735711

I guess I want to just shit the whole deck out. Maybe starting with Academy Rector into Omniscience into Enter the Infinite, etc., etc.

Hi.

I'm currently building a Zada deck, but I'm a little confused with how spell copies interact with Zada.

How do spell copy effects interact with her? For example I cast Expedite on her, and copy it with Dualcaster Mage, do I get double value or not? I ask because the card text specifies that whenever you CAST a spell.
>>
>>54735788

That's a great start, you can do lots with that, in fact all 4 of my decks essentially have that as the gameplan, all though one of them also has a more traditional combo in Kiki conscripts
>>
>>54735679
You should build Hyperbudget Edric Flying Men before sinking several hundred dollars into something you've never done before.

Ludvic can be made really good for Izzet playstyles. A friend of mine uses him as perfect utility. Where as Ur-Dragon seems like great theming/flavor and allows the deck to be better for Dragons at 5 colors. I'm sure Edgar will be better than the Cat Avatar at least.

I had uril enhantress before and it was great, ended up not liking how I could only kill one person at a time outside the infinite combat thing, so I decided to go bant pillow fort prison enchantress, but then I decided prison decks aren't that fun either and i just end up stalling until somebody owns me with all is dust or ugin, so I switched to bant combo enchantress, and now I've got a very high winrate. I was amazed at how much more often I win despite cutting objectively good prison cards like Rest In Peace and ghostly prison in favor of more land enchantments and land untapping tech

The deck just makes an absurd amount of mana

>>54735433
How do you want the deck to play? If you want a stax/hatebear strategy, Linvala is probably the best. If you're going tron, wAkroma works pretty well. And if you wanna go hard on the aggro, Aurelia or Gisela are good options and give you access to another color.

If you say "angel tribal" I'm leaving

>>54736827
>Play Teferi = People cannot play spells.

Sounds like your table needs a stax deck.

Run Strangle Hold, Aven Mindcensor, Stony Silence, Torpor Orb and Jester's Cap if you want to shit all over combo fags.

Teferi, Mage of Zhalifar
>Each opponent can cast spells only any time he or she could cast a sorcery.
That means it must be that player's turn, during a main phase, and the stack must be empty. If you have Knowledge Pool then the spell is exiled, but the replacement spell would be cast with it still on the stack. This means that they cast a spell, it's exiled, and Teferi prevents them from casting the replacement.

>>54735974
>>
>>54737536

Teferi says you can cast spells only any time you could cast a sorcery, which means, only during your main phase and only if there are no spells or abilities on the stack.

When you cast a spell while knowledge Pool is on the battlefield, that spell is exiled and the ability prompts you to cast another of the exiled spells. To cast that spell would be to cast it during the resolution of the knowledge Pool ability, but if it's still resolving then it's still on the stack, so the stack is not empty, and you cannot cast it

Teferi also stops suspended spells for the same reason, they would be cast during the resolution of the suspend triggered ability
>>
>>54737536
Anything they cast from hand gets exiled, then Teferi stops them from being able to cast a spell out of the pool. It's a hard lock unless they have something on board or in the command zone to get out of it
>>
So, I need your help /tg/. Ijust bought the commander anthology for like 140 maple bucks,and I was wondering which deck should I finetune first between Derevi and Freyalise/Titania
>>
>>54737670
Derevi stax
>>
>>54734848
>not using real animals as tokens

Come on now, it's especially fun with the locust god.
>>
>>54737670
maybe you shouldve thought of that before buying it
>>
>>54737670
They're completely different so it's just whatever playstyle you wanna go with. Freyalise is a straightforward elf/green stompy deck while Derevi is an evasive control deck that, when pushed all the way, turns into a prison strategy or hard stax
>>
>>54737670

The freyalise deck is actually decent and doesn't need as much to be tuned

The derevi deck on the other hand, the fine tuned version won't use any of the 99 that came with the deck
>>
>>54737670
Tune the Titania and you'll realize gitgud frog is better. Tune Derevi and be hated. Don't play Freyalise as a commander.

Send me Kaalia, want her for my collection pls
>>
>>54737670
Derevi only really works as Derevi. He doesn't work well as Roon or Jenara or Rafiq. Freyalise works well as any elf.dec.
>>
>>54737713
This is true. Using Roon as the commander might actually work better if you're using the precon as your base. Derevi requires an entirely different approach
>>
>>54737670
derevi is the worst mistake ever printed by wotc. her putting on the battlefield thing is literally the worst possible mechanic ever printed on a commander set card, and possibly in mtg in general. i sincerely hope you do not build her
>>
>>54737622
>>54737536
additionally, Teferi shits in Malestrom Wanderer's & Ydris's mouth because they can't cast the spells they Cascade into.
>>
>>54737750
Also into Narset's and Jeleva's,
Teferi shitting in Narset's mouth is something someone would pay to see.
>>
>>54737738
She could have been more balanced if the ability were only usable during your upkeep. That way, the player would have to decide if they wanted to spend the 4 mana before they get their draw and only during their turn.
>>
>>54737684
Roon stax is more fun

These people have been playing for well over ten years anon. They've all had good shit at one point in time but will trade their cards in at the LGS for packs like complete fucking morons.

If you're trading away Doubling Seasons/Aether Vials/etc for current packs you're a fucking idiot beyond all comprehension and I've seen people do this.

No shit shitlock. Last Strike is still pretty straight forward as a concept. I agree, custom cards are dumb, but it still counts as a "theoretical" thing. It's like not knowing who the monoblue legendary demon is because either you know it, or you don't, and at least that shows ambition.
>>
>>54738282
>horf dorf Maro mentioned it twice so it's an actual mechanic
It's not an actual mechanic if it's not printed on an actual card, and "It's an actual mechanic" was the claim being made. I can make up shit too, that doesn't make it an actual mechanic.
>>
>>54738333
Not really the same thing. It's like if you made a card with Hedronize. It was almost an actual mechanic, that was scrapped at R&D for whatever reason, but it isn't some shit you made up.
>>
>>54738191
I know people like this too and Jesus Christ do I hate them. They'll get something good and than immediately gamble it away on packs.

I saw a guy with a stack of original Aether Vials trade them in for a box of Amonkhet because gotta get that Force of Will and got nothing in return and of course he also bitches at people for playing with good cards.

This is the magic equivalent of getting mad at people who've saved money while you gambled and drank all of your's away.

It could use some more card draw, tutors and recur. Maybe another boardwipe that takes out all enchantments like Pernicious Deeds, you can snackbar all your mana dorks and wipe it clean if you encounter a nasty stax.

Too few land for the avg CMC considering the amount of the draw you have, either drop some of the higher cost creatures or get more draw.
Phyrexian Arena would be a good fit for drawing power, card advantage is really important against control decks.

>>54736444
Bad counterspells, or just bad decision making that throws games away, makes me angry more than anything else. One time I was playing a game with an voltron-Ojutai player and a combo-Alesha player. The Alesha player was ready to combo off and kill everyone so on my turn I cast a wrath to try and stop it. The Ojutai player taps out to counter the wrath because he's been behind on mana and he doesn't want to lose his general. And then of course the Alesha player kills everyone immediately after. And then when I tried to tell the guy that he should have seen the combo coming and held up his countermagic, he told me he "played it right."

Like, you lost, because you didn't hold up your answers for what was more immediately game-ending, and you're gonna sit there and tell me you played it right. It just gets under my skin
>>
>>54739605
You should have stressed to the Ojutai player why you were wrathing and how real of a threat alesha was. It's a social format, communicate.

Counterspells only work on bad players that ignore open islands, but can only be used by good players that understand another person's deck. Every CS heavy deck I've fought gets wrecked outside of silly 1v1s.

CSs in general are bad in EDH, the more players, draw and recur the worse they get. Stax cards and MLD cards are much better at preventing combos from ever occurring, rather than just sending it to the graveyard, and are very good at holding a board-state.

>>
>>54739839
I believe counterspells are the lifeblood of an U/x etc. deck. You can set back a combo or game winning play for little investment and can open up avenues for yourself and other players.

Also counterspells are more accepted at tables compared to stax and MLD which most people call cancer.

>>54739968
Not really, it doesn't give you card advantage but mana advantage over a single player and if you don't use those uptapped lands it's rather taxing. If you're not maximizing your mana every single turn, your deck isn't running very effectively and a lot less likely to win. This is why my local meta started to gut CSs out of their decks, also Price of Glory/War's Toll/City of Solitude is very common to see because of how much people hate Cyclonic Rift.

>stax and MLD is cancer
It's only cancer if you Stasis, Cyclonic Rift or Apocalypse and don't close the game.

>>54740017
Since he's the tutor commander, it hardly matters. You always can tutor for Seedborn muse and Teferi to accomplish the same thing, although it's twice the mana, but at least both being on the field has better effect than PoK.
I would say that it suffered just as much as each other UGx deck that runs creatures as it's main strategy
>>

>>54735742
Don"t build a pre con commander, find something for yourself. Pre cons could be useful to play some casual games and learn the format though. It's not an intro pack situation, because they aren't terrible and you will probably get your money back anyway.

Remember when Magic art had variety and most of the artists had a distinct style?
>>
>>54740438
Well, that's the /primary/ purpose of a counterspell; to make a player waste their turn. If you want to stop combos and to protect a board-state, there's much better ways.

m8 that's literally what everyone says about every piece of art no matter the medium.

this is just false, counterspells are the best way to do both of those things
>>
>>54740690
>Grand Abolisher
>>
>>54740645
and that's perfectly fine

It's just that as a photographer I hate when people shit on newer works and only remember the good from the past and ignore the massive amounts of bad.

For example ever seen the Alpha/Beta/Unlimited artwork for Plateau? It fucking sucks and the Revised art was 100% better.

Not to mention a lot of early magic artists made rookie mistakes like the Birds of Paradise artist who was commissioned to make art for Tropical Island but accidentally made the birds the focus of the art which funnily enough is what lead to BoP's creation.

I will agree though there's some bad stuff these days though like Gideon's Demise or whatever that card is. Gideon's face is hilariously bad.
>>
>>54740670
I know. I do like Noah's stuff, I'm just a big fan of the more out-there styles that were more prevalent in Magic's past. Probably why I like Seb McKinnon's art so much.

I get why they made their art more uniform though
>>
What commander decks can I build for 150 or less and them not be 100% shit?
>>
>>54740710

you're saying counterspells arent as good as other methods of stopping combos because there is anti-counterspell tech? whatever your alternative is also has weaknesses.

the reason counterspells are the best is that they are instant speed, they answer all types of spells, and they are hidden relatively safe in your hand which means you have both an information advantage on your opponent (assuming in this scenario that your opponent is presenting an intention to assemble a combo) and you dont have to expose your response to their removal, because your response is just a spell in your hand

there are some very powerful permanent-based ways of dealing with combos like torpor orb, rest in peace, and such, but they are much easier to play around than counterspells because they are sorcery speed and must be played preemptively. you can always deal with them first before going off. not to mention they only stop certain kinds of combos, whereas counterspells can stop any spell, which means they can stop almost any comob, barring some that involve abilities of permanents and gy cards that were already in place

Why do people like arbitrary 'lolrandom' cards?
>>
>>54740876

yes, its a solid card, the drawback is that you need 4 U mana symbols in the permanents you control for it to be able to attack and block and do creature stuff.

2U for an indestructble enchatnment that lets you scry every turn and make shit unblockable is still excellent of course
>>
>>54740876
It's not a creature a lot of the time. The gods' design philosophy is to be a persistent effect that gains value early, and then switch over into a powerful creature late-game when you've built up a board using your advantage gained by the effect. Commander makes the latter part less effective, but they're still strong.
>>
>>54740891
because it makes the boardstate impossible to manage and they win because people scoop because they do not want to deal with it.
>>
>>54740891

i dont think many people actually do. also these type of cards are always more fun in theory than in practice. i remember when i was new to the game looking through cards on gatherer i remember thinking warp world was fascinating and exciting. not so fun to play with unfortunately, and warp world is not nearly as bad as some of these other ones like the one in your picture
>>
>>54740876
yes but the reward for having it become a creature is owning enough blue symbols to have it become one.

Copies are not cast. Dualcaster only gives one more spell.

Stax I'll give you, but Stax is the worst fucking thing you can do in the game. Counters aren't great, but they work and they're cheap and you 1 for 1 the opponent, and if you're not stupid with them you win out in terms of mana spent.
>>
>>54740810
I start all of my decks at a hard cap of 50 dollars, usually less if I can manage, and then I play around with them a bit. Even in the stronger metas you can tell if you like a deck or not after a few turns. After that if I like it I refine it and spend a little more money until I'm comfortable with it. I think I have 2 decks out of 12 that are over 150, and those are pretty competitive. One being Yisan stax, which I haven't played in six months because it's too strong and I get bored with it unless everyone else is playing similar decks.

>>54740833

Tribals are simple and flavorful and the deck essentially builds itself. You choose a tribe and just throw every card that buffs that specific tribe on a pile and you have your deck. Literally half of every tribal decks is just auto-includes. That's why new players love tribal decks, since they have easy access to a powerful deck, and experienced players dislike them because these decks are always the same and there is no space to build these decks your own way.
So essentially these decks sell so good because the majority of players are dirty casuals.

Nekky isn't even the most powerful commander I run but he absolutely draws the most hate from every table I've brought him to. Why do people hate him so much?
>>
>>54744565
Nekusar is annoying to play against because everyone has to discard their entire hand every few rounds and he can win out of the blue in one turn.
>>
>>54744565
It's pretty common for EDH players to exaggerate a threat. People also flip when they see stuff like infect, Oloro and counterspells.
>>
>>54744632
it's really funny because my optimized teysa combo list flies under the radar and squeezes early wins all the time while something a lot slower like nekusar or memnarch is getting hated off the table
>>
>>54744440
goddamn i hate the people like this at my LGS

"oh come on! why didn't you let me win? it's no fun playing with you."
>>
>>54743722
Does this guy replace Sram as my commander or does he go into the 99 like Mirrann Crusader does?
>>
>>54744882
no

that shit isn't even close to as powerful as sram.
>>
>>54744882
It's probably fine in the 99 as a sort of worse Puresteel Paladin
>>
>>54744294
Not werewolves, brb kms
>>
>>54736483
its a phenomenon that i've seen happen in many games of diplomacy, not just magic.

Basically, they try to maximize their short term survival rate by attacking the lowest threath, but they usually miscalculate the advantages they'll gain from it and just make themselves easier targets for the biggest threath.
>>
>>54744294
unesh really fucking surprised me by singlehandedly carrying the entire sphinx tribe into playability. 4 mana 4/4 flyers that fact or fiction on ETB make a monoblue control list pretty fucking scary.
>>
>>54744972
>threath
>>
>>54744882
The whole point of Sram is that you're generating advantage even if you're above parity. How exactly does this manage that?
>>
i know this isnt exactly on topic but should i consider buying some dual lands that have not spiked yet like savannah or bad lands? been considering getting for some a while now since i got a better job but have not pulled the trigger yet and i feel like this is the last chance ill really have to get them affordably
>>
What's a fun mono blue deck for someone that never plays blue?
>>
>>54745187

>>54745028
>>
>>54744882
Sram is the best as a general, because he'll give you advantage. You could put Balam in the 99 to feed him the equipments you drop to generate cards.
>>
>>54745187
wizard tribal maybe

or braids, with all the ways to make her ability as asymmetric as possible
>>
>>54745167
They haven't spiked because they're not good in the formats in which they're played. In order for them to be good, the design team would have to change what they've been doing drastically. They'll continue to go up in price as supply decreases faster than demand, but they're not going to spike.

idk, reserve list is a little different than "is it good in legacy or vintage"
>>
>>54744692
this
>>
>>54745359
Reserve list is why the price will never go down until MtG dies. Supply will never go up, demand will stay constant or rise. Legacy/Vintage usage is why Underground Sea goes for 400 but you can get a Scrubland for 50.

teeg is better in the 99
Sisay for a slower more consistent deck
gw selvala for a faster, less consistent (but seriously how much more consistent can a deck get than sissay) and selvala plays around most stacks better

also its PrayNobodyBoardwipes.dek
I usually win on turn 4-5 either by generating inf mana and playing out my deck or by a fuckhuge craterhoof

I feel that Teeg is extremely polarizing for both the game and deck building, so if I want to utilize him, I need him readily available before anybody even considers dropping a 4cmc spell. They can try to boardwipe, so far there are Toxic Deluge and Cyclonic rift that Teeg doesn't counter just by existing. My main concern about Sisay was that the amount of hate she can tutor is not that high, it's mostly creature based combos

How many Ramp/Mana accelerants should a deck have? I've been doing playtests of my deck online and it seems like I'll end up with a ridiculous amount of mana and almost nothing to play with it.

Why is it that people constantly reference Rick and Morty? It's not even like the references are subtle, just people fake burping and talking like Rick or mentioning one of these stupid jokes.

I can't even go to my FLGS for a game of commander without being assaulted by Rick and Morty References or someone blasting System of a Down from their phone speaker.
>>
>>54745714
I go with like 37 lands and 8 pieces of ramp usually, although not exactly those numbers always.

I dunno if that's mathematically correct, but it seems to be the proportions that've worked well for me.
>>
>>54745748
It's because they lack originality and just leech off of something popular to get attention.
>>
>>54745748
Because people like it and want to talk about it? Not everyone is a super serious tryhard like you mate.
>>
>>54743863
No, momentous fall works because you can sacrifice before paying mana costs, causing the game to use Omnaths last known P/T. This checks on resolution, after all costs have been paid

>>54736388
Uninteractive infinite combos, especially if I go at lengths to stop them and still fail.

There are two guys who only have 1 pretty tuned deck each, that go every game for about the same infinite creature looping and infinite mana respectively, and no matter how much you counter and remove their pieces, the recursion and backup plans are so numerous they'll probably win anyway. To pour salt in the wound, there are always aggro players who go "you have no blockers, I attack you for 15" when all my resources go to keeping the combo players from slapping them in the face so hard the skin would come off.

Also fucking superfriends.

>>54736461
Yep, also deranged lunatics who prefer attacking to drawing cards

for instance by:
-writing it down
-telling a judge
-attaching something to the card other players can't see

It was fine when I played both Conspiracies in draft, so I don't see why it wouldn't be fine here.

Unless you're some kind of giga nigga who won't write down who you're choosing just so you can go "Oh you're attacking me? Say goodbye to your Blightsteel" when you're attacked by someone on the board
>>
>>54746025
Did you not draft Conspiracy? That's exactly how you handle hidden information. Pretty sure that's how you'd handle it if you played the card in legacy too.

Do you guys mix silver-bordered cards in your decks for casual? I found my unhinged and unglued cards and want to put them in my EDH decks.

Is this the next evolution of the anti-Oloro crowd?
>>
>>54746188
Yes, "this ability" means "this ability of this Stalking Leonin." If you flicker it it'll forget both the player you had chosen and that it activated, because it's now a different card.

I'm liking this. Seems like they're going for an anti-aggro theme with Arahbo there to enable your own beats.
>>
>>54746169
Yeah, they're a big thing in my group. We've also allowed some custom card generations if they're balanced well enough. The most recent commander spoilers inspired me to try my hand at a commander myself, and it turned out great. It's something like this

Keizhav, the Dark Shadow - 1UBG

Legendary Creature - Human Rogue

Eminence - In the beginning of your upkeep, if Keizhav, the Dark Shadow is in the command zone or on the battlefield, draw 1 card and lose 1 life.

First Strike, Shroud, Infect

4/2

It's won me a ton of games so far, probably my favorite card in MTG overall.

>>54746237
Seems a tad strong for what it is. At least you didn't give it hexproof though

>>54738454
That's insane. Masterpieces are distributed something like one every second or third box, the odds of buying a box and hoping for any masterpieces is against the odds, but hoping for a specific one?

You're right, these people are idiots. I often trade valuable standard cards for modern staples as they'll see use for years and hold value.

I pulled a FoW at Amonket prerelease and I can't trade it locally. I'll have to risk selling online.

Hey let me give this a shot

Necro, the Potent UBG

Legendary Creature - Spike

Eminence - If you would draw a card while your library has no cards in it, if Necro the Potent is in the command zone or on the battlefield, you win the game instead.

Pay 1 life: Draw a card.

3/3
>>
>>54745786

This is a very well designed card imo.

How do you guys handle ramp in this boardwipe format? One of my decks ramps hard but a lot of it is creature based (Llanowar Elves etc). I figure this is a little too fragile. I do have access to green and run all of the standard ramp spells but stopped short of using the less optimal ones in favour of smaller CMC creatures that generate mana.
