Thread Question:
What's the verdict on C17?
>>
>>54835874
The commanders themselves are decent enough. UW Taigam, Kess, Mairsil, Ur-Dragon, Mathas, Inalla, Mirri, and Nazahn are all things I'd like to build. The decks are shit and not worth the price.

If there's more graveyard stuff than Planeswalkers in your group, I'd say go for it. There's other instant creature-removal and losing one of probably several usually won't break your neck, while the utility this provides might very well save it often.

What do people think about portal mage? It seems like a kind of shitty card to me, since it can't force a creature to attack in the first place, and it doesn't do a damn thing late game when it becomes a 1v1.

If it just said "goad target creature" it would be a better card and less verbose. I am already running a wizard deck and I don't think I can find a slot for it.

Talking to people sounds scary though so it's probably better for him to hamstring himself but running mediocre commanders.

What do you want? Five hundred dollars worth of cards in a thirty five dollar box? Be realistic.

>>54836364
>Be realistic.

I am. The previous ones always had ~$150 in value (before their launch dropped the prices of everything). That is what I expect from all Commander products. This is just shit in comparison.
>>
>>54836340
They have about as much value as C16 and C15. Sorry they didn't reprint dual lands for you, anon, but just buy the singles.
>>
>>54836384
Quit bitching. Who cares? If you want singles, buy them. If you don't, don't buy anything. It's not complicated. Did you think we we're getting a Tabernacle or Phyrexian Obliterator?
>>
>>54836391

They have much less.
>>
>>54836398
>don't buy anything

Thank you, I won't.

>Did you think we we're getting a Tabernacle or Phyrexian Obliterator?

I was thinking we'd get good high-value reprints like in previous Commander products, instead of bulk from the ten-for-a-dollar commons box. Sorry if expecting them to meet the same standards they set for themselves upsets you.
>>
>>54836384
It's roughly the same, especially when you consider that a lot of the card included were reprinted previously and therefore already have a lower value. Plus, there are more new cards per deck this time, which is good.
I'm not trying to defend them too much, but there isn't a significant drop in value.

Not him, but they could easily fit in some spiking cards or lands that just increase in price.

They really don't. I think that they downplayed C17, because they thought that the Eminence Commanders would be pretty expensive, since they are Oloro-like.
>>
>>54836414
>this anon who has literally never purchased a commander product
The fuck are you on about? Wake, Havengul lich and Marchesa are fine reprints. Vamps get Teferi's protection to offset it. Why do you care about how much money is in a PRECONSTRUCTED product? Either your a scalper or a mong and either way you're ignoring that there is one money deck in each set, probably cats, one almost money deck, wizards, and two decks that are neat but you shouldn't buy unless you want to play them.

Either way, new quality legendaries are fine enough on their own. Get out with your speculator bullshit, this is not the place.

This has never worked in my playgroup ever. We had a guy try this once by just building generic noncombo token swarm with him. Prossh is just one of those generals that paint an instant target on your forehead, no matter what you're trying to do with it. It's in the same league as Zur and Narset with that over here. People just have ptsd.

Using Mizzium Meddler to steal a kicked Rite of Replication is pretty sweet. This guy is almost always an mvp, usually he's a counterspell + body, worst case scenario he's a flash chump blocker.

Just tell them that it is just casual or not tryhard deck.

Really, my 3 commander decks are Kaalia, Meren, and Atraxa, and none of my friends target me because they know that none of my decks has infinite combos out of the ass or has "no fun allowed" or too many tryhard cards.
>>
>>54836528
Captivating Vampire is pretty expensive too, but I agree that Marchesa is too much of a stretch.

I'm sorry, Mr Starcity Games employee. I'll be a good goy from now on!
>>
>>54836578
Anon, people want high value reprints because it would lower the cost of the reprinted cards. If a demonic tutor was in each of the black decks, then demonic tutor would drop in price dramatically and be more affordable for everyone (assuming that they didn't print a ridiculously small number of decks). When they do things like give decks intentionally shitty manabases or refuse to print obvious includes for a deck (like riptide lab in wizards) it only hurts players, not investors.

This only benefit speculators you retard. So many cards spiked, because they were intentionally not included in these new decks, despite being perfect for the deck.

The other reprints we desperately need will also continue to climb up, because we got none of them as well.
>>
>>54836642
This only works if they print the shit out of the decks. Otherwise they get scalped to hell for having anything of value in them.

What's your favorite magic card?

>>
>>54836642
See i understand your point, but you're missing the fact that Wizards is pants-on-head retarded. If good reprints are included, then it just raises the popularity of their goofy bastardization of the format, which incentivizes them to print silly format breaking commanders.

Demonic tutor in particular is utterly unrealistic, which emphasizes my point of not bitching. It represents too high of a power level for access to standard babies, because it is a 5 mana effect stapled on a two mana card.

What you're complaining about is access to cards. 30 bucks is like three trips for fast food and if you can't afford it, you don't really need it or you'd find a way. As new players come here for spoiler season bitching about the value in decks is just going to encourage those shitty ABUR duals should be reprinted in commander deck teenagers and that's just annoying. Vote with your wallet, by it or don't, but going on tirades about how it's anti player to not reprint expensive cards is ignoring that brand new format breaking commanders that will be expensive, and are something universally preferable when compared to shitty cheap new commanders.
>>
>>54836786
>is just going to encourage those shitty ABUR duals should be reprinted in commander deck teenagers and that's just annoying.

But anon it's unfair that I don't have dual lands that give me an incredibly slight advantage in commander. Do you honestly expect me to play the bajillion other dual lands they've made over the years like some kind of peasant?

>>54836786
>utterly unrealistic

I hate people like that. It was reprinted in a fuckin Duel Deck when Wizards wasn't retarded. If they never ever reprinted Sol Ring we would have idiots arguing now that the card is too valuable for any product other than Masterpiece/Mythic in a Masters Set.

Maybe fetchlands and other Modern staples shouldn't be reprinted in those, but cards that are only expensive and popular because of EDH, and are in a very low supply absolutely should.
>>
>>54836786
>make the powerful cards extremely expensive, because less people will play them if that's the case

So... How does a Daxos Curse deck with Enchantment Tribal sound?

How does it feel to get slapped with an Overwhelming Splendor and Cruel Reality, that both happen to have Hexproof thanks to Greater Auramancy?

Or should I be going with an Aura deck instead?
>>
>>54836866
>Maybe fetchlands

Enemy fetchlands in general need to be reprinted in a non Masters set. Wizards is retarded if they think they can lower the prices via modern masters. Meanwhile non-enemy fetchlands can go for as low as $8.
>>
>>54836864
Which part? Because if it's the Mirror-Mad, read the card.
>Mirror-Mad Phantasm's owner shuffles it into his or her library. If that player does, he or she reveals cards from the top of that library until a card named Mirror-Mad Phantasm is revealed.
The first one means "this card," but the second one is "a card named Mirror-Mad Phantasm." The rulings are even clearer.
>If no card named Mirror-Mad Phantasm is revealed (possibly because it was a card copying Mirror-Mad Phantasm or it was a token), all cards from that library will be put into their owner’s graveyard.
Just let Mairsil go to your deck and dump the whole thing.
>>
>>54836866
But specifically not demonic tutor.

The fastest way to ruin a fun casual format is with two mana tutors, particularly if those tutors are included in an entry level product. Cost as a barrier of entry is a perfectly reasonable way to prevent an arms race because little Timmy isn't going to spend the same cost as his deck for a single card he may never get to play. It's like reprinting blightsteel, elesh norn, or doubling season; nothing good can happen by including them. You can manage a banlist with minimal bans by having prohibitive cost, otherwise you'll wind up with MTGO no-cantrips format.

>>54836894
I have very strong decks, but you're a moron if you think giving casual playgroups overpowered nonsense is going to do anything but make them cry about how it should be banned. Also, 30 dollar is an utterly trivial amount if you have any kind of job. if you want it, you can buy it at that price quite reasonably.
>>
>>54836786
Your first argument is retarded. They aren't allowed to reprint good cards because if they do that then they also have to do an unrelated and retarded thing? That's like saying if you want a new car you have to run down a pedestrian in your old one so you have a reason to dump it.

>What you're complaining about is access to cards. 30 bucks is like three trips for fast food and if you can't afford it, you don't really need it or you'd find a way.

I wasn't bitching about this. I did say that these were the worst cycle of commander decks made so far, which is true, and I don't think anyone has named a worse cycle to argue this point. Some other anon then started bitching and saying how reprints of expensive cards were somehow bad for players though, and I told him that was retarded and I said why.
>>
>>54836950
Demonic Tutor is the format staple since day one, nearly everyone had one in the early days and the format continued to grow.

Yeah, and the box of unwanted draft chaff in your LGS that everyone is free to pick up cards from is worth a few hundred $ by TCGplayer prices by sheer number of cards in it alone. They could include a 100 0.50$ cards and it would still be technically above MSRP.

magic cards can only be reprinted if they're 5-8 dollars max, after that they become unprintable except as mythic rares in 10 dollar eternal format boosters
>>
>>54836996
They are, when included in a precon designed for new casual playgroups.

>what do you mean you get a Planeswalker emblem the first turn you cast it? How come I can't remove it?
>so I can't play anything weaker than 3 toughness? That's bullshit and unfun, you don't understand the spirit of the format.

I run all those cards, but a brand new player isn't going to know how to deal with it. Even standard players would be in over there head. A master's set or a new standard set with those cards is fine, right now printing them in a precon is dumb.
>>
>>54837050
It's around $12 now but my point is it's absolutely retarded to not reprint it when they reprinted painlands in commander product last year.

It's nice to know the reserve list is "These old cards plus anything over $10" now.

Wizards is completely fucking Modern by not reprinting enemy fetch lands in a non masters set but powerlevel fags would probably say those are too powerful now too.

well, that's how wotc handles their game. if they don't reprint stuff when it's relatively cheap, it becomes really awkward for them to reprint them when it is actually expensive. if they do reprint expensive stuff for cheap autists who hoard expensive cards get mad and wall-street wannabes will scalp that shit
>>
>>54837078
It's ok. It puts them tapped, only searches for basic lands, requires you to have tapped creatures, and is sorcery speed(you can't just suicide your tokens).
>>
>>54837062
Yeah, I have a better idea: let's make those products like Intro Packs! Only unwanted bulk rare, 3 mana-sorcery speed removal, taplands and absolute lack of any value whatsoever. Maybe we could include Cancel, but it could be too confusing for those new players. It's a fun, casual format and they can always buy all those expensive cards from SCG if they really want them after all.
>>
>>54837078
Angry Omnath and similar landfall stuff likes it but it's not all that strong otherwise.
>>
>>54837078
It's not bad. Compare it to boundless realms. It only costs 3 mana but you probably won't have a shitton of creatures out to abuse it turn 3, so you have to cast it about when you would be able to cast boundless realms for wacky returns. Except this can be blown out by cards like rift and rout.

I don't think it would ever be a real contender in a format with bolt or faster decks.

>Thread Question
the decks look pretty fun but the mana sucks which hinders the performance. I really dunno why they went with the landbases as they did but out of the box the decks can face each other pretty okay.

I want dragons so the land base is gonna be expensive if I ever decide to fix it up. Vampires looks fun too. I dunno if I'd call this the worst commander product ever, I feel 2013 still had a bunch of lame commanders and some really shit decks out of the box.
>>54836480
Double faced cards aren't in this kind of product because the decks don't come with sleeves.

Eh, you can just use green's ramp for color fixing on top of prismatic omen and that one lantern, there's also cheap shit like painlands, checklands and fastlands, it's not gonna be ideal but it should do the job more than well.

Yeah the pain lands come to mind. I'm still working on an Atraxa deck from like last year though and most of that is still land base to fix up so the Dragon deck is gonna be on the back burner until I really decide to start getting back into building decks.

Dragon deck does come with like 3 cost reducers though and I can easily swap the white bird in the deck with Warden of Evos Isle to include a fourth reducer to hopefully increase chances of dragons costing 2 less per game which helps.

Yeah I'm not going to bump it to the brim with reducers. The deck already comes with four actually since I forgot Ur Dragon itself.
Ur Dragon
Dragonlord's servant
Dragonspeaker Shaman
Herald's Horn

The bird would probably be the last one unless I somehow got an incubator but I am fine passing that up for a 30 cent alternative. The reduction may be redundant but it will help allow me to smash multiple fatties on the board when I need to make some big pushes.

Because they want commander precons to get into the hands of little timmy at the LGS, rather than being bought up by Magic: the Investing speculators and traders and disassembled for their valuable mana bases to be slowly injected into the market at a rate that largely avoids price crash.

A new player, not someone who's been looking into getting into magic for a while, but someone who just saw a box of cards on a shelf, isn't going to give a shit about their manabase. Almost all players start as Timmys. It's just a question of how quickly they find their new niche.
>>
>>54837713
Honestly, Dragons should be around Red/Green for ramp and fixing and only use the other colors for spells that have a real impact.
Get painlands or BZF lands + Fetches and a bunch of mana dorks and you'll manage.

But if prices crash what will happen to the poor little LGS that bought so many fetchlands and ABUR duals to potentially sell for profit? They suddenly lose a grip of money and shut down! Where will we play card games then?! Wizards has turned on them by printing so much to get it out to the players where they can actually play for fun and allow wizards to go ham with experimentation with cards to be strong!

>>54838035
>Weeb or not, these commanders have atrocious art with almost no appeal.

listen, just because you can't masturbate to it because she it doesn't have a pretty face doesn't make it objectively bad. Kess is actually a pretty cool painting. While the waifu factor is gone I actually like that it's an older woman living in that shit hellscape Grixis.

I'll agree on some other pieces like Ramos though. That thing is lazy 3D model art with no feeling to it. O-Kagachi is pretty boring as well compared to the Kev Walker piece. Every new commander art is inoffensive when it comes to content and technique.

There are eyeballs, teeth, and ribs on the stairs. Grixis is smart money, since they love putting random commanders on Alara. The other bets are Bala Ged, but the bones aren't very Eldrazi, a Phyrexia dominated plane, but it doesn't seem mechanical enough, or Equilor, but we don't know enough about Equilor to be certain.

Possible, but doubtful. Ixalan vamps are pale Catholics (Which Fuck you WotC, mesoamerican blood-sacrifice-to-dino-god vamps would have been perfectly fitting for white sun-worshipping vampires) so I would find Mathas to be more likely to be from Ixalan than Licia.

And I understand your point, I find elesh pretty underwhelming for 9 mana, but in a green white deck with cultivate, kodamas reach and whatever mana rocks, it's pretty easy to get it out t5 or t6. if it was standard legal right now it would be a fantastic control finisher, but with reds dominance it wouldn't really see play until someone busts it wide open.

Stronger. Assuming the effect is positive. You want to be the first to enjoy anything that happens. Otherwise what will happen is that it will go around the table, everyone gets a taste, and when it's about to be your turn somebody just blows it up and you don't get the effect yourself.

While Elesh is on the board, in like 99% of situations it means your opponents can no longer possibly win the game. And even if opponent_can_ remove Elesh's she's usually at least a boardwipe that the opponent also had to spend removal on. She's consistently underestimated by people and I don't quite get why.

It's beside the point though because 1) Elesh _was_ in standard and that standard was fine and 2) Commander products aren't standard legal anyway so why gives a fuck what the power level is like in the baby format for dumb babies.
>>
>>54839224
Poorly.
Levelup creatures have a static ability that changes them based on the number of counters they have. The only activated ability Mairsil would get from them is the Levelup ability itself, which is completely useless.

No. He wouldn't have the static ability that cares what his level is. It is completely pointless to Cage and levelup creature.

>For that matter, does he get one side or both for Kamigawa Flip creatures? How about DFCs?

In both cases, he has only their starting sides, even if you were to flip him somehow. In any zone other than the battlefield, each only have the characteristics of their starting sides.

It becomes a new creature with no memory of the choice made with the previous version. Good news is, that resets the "activate this ability only once" clause too.

Dimir people, what is your Artifact and enchantment removal package?

>>
>>54839458

Of course they'll make Roman plane a different place from the Greek plane. Their creativity is limited to copying real-world shit after all. If they don't pace themselves, they'll soon be through all the famous cultures and be left with shit like Maldivian plane.

I'm thinking going pretty budget and just doing BFZ lands, basics, buddy lands since they are coming back in Ixalan and probably the SOI show and tell lands. Keep the tempo up but still have access to colors and ramp.

That card makes sense to me in monoblack, but my deck doesn't feel tokeny right now. I'll probably snag one soon just to have though, if it isn't over 20.

>>54839584
Hm. Never though about that. I wonder how well that would work against the decks I face.

>>54839590
Yeah, it seems expensive colorless single target is all I can do. Maybe Perilous Vault.

They need to print more O stone variants.

Quick question. If you manage to hit an Opponent who currently controls Sigarda Host of Herons with Wasitora, does that trigger the token creation or does the ability fizzle?

I used to have a Ramirez deck whose unofficial motto was "Why destroy when you can gain control?"

His official motto was probably "Hey first strike's good, you won't be laughing if I resolve a Sword of Kaldra".

These days I'd just recommend more counterspells.
>>
>>54839514
That sounds pretty reasonable. Get Thunderbreak Regent as another early beater, sadly there aren't many good 4 CMC dragons.

There's also the Mirage fetches, at least the BR one should be pretty cheap due to it's reprint.

Inalla might be from Dominaria, since it does mention her being from a conclave and I don't know of any other mage conclaves than the Conclave of Mages on Dominaria that Mairsil was a part of.

Arahbo looks like he's pretty much just a divine entity and the cat equivalent to the Ur-Dragon, so either he's plane-ess or also Dominarian.

It's a safe bet Balan is from Theros, considering his look, his clothing and his surrounding area.

Mathas and Licia could be from anywhere. With Licia I'd assume she's from Kephalai, as that fits the buildings around her as well as her roman appearance. Mathas really can't be put on any specific plane, since we just know that Vampires exist but that they're not numerous. If I had to guess, I'd say he's from Fiora.

Yeah Thunderbreak Regent and Skyline Despot are the first two dragons I wanna make some room for. This dude seems pretty cool too for some light reanimator stuff for the creature based reducers so I may want to play with him as well.
>>
>>54839844
Stop.
Are we going to do this with every new legendary?
>>
>>54839828
Mathas almsot certainly isn't from an existing plane, or at least not from one we have anything beyond a random planechase card hint of. I actually think he's probably coming from somewhere in the pipeline on the basis that his brand has a very distinct symbol on it and it seems weird to come up with it without giving it a meaning.
>>
>>54839873
I'm serious, I do think that Beckett is a woman.

Not to mention that "4 Pirate Queens of Ixalan" would be a neat concept.

I thought he was just Innistrad's version of Thot patrol that went around hunting the dudes who are so weird that even the weirdos throwing blood orgies every night didn't want them.

Nah, that can't be, we already have Vraska as the local reptile pirate, you silly anon.

What

Hence why I indicatited it was my assumption.
The setting in his art is pretty reminicsent of Innostrad, although he's dressed more like a human than the vampires of that plane.

>>54839973
That's a great idea, anon! for Tiny Leaders

It's a Cat Avatar, so it's some vague overarching "CAT" archetype kind of thing, rather than anything specific.

>a plane copying a culture that copied another culture

How deep can we go?

Also creative is so fucking bland that the Rome plane is going to be reskinned Theros with legionnaires.
>>
>>54840211
It's supposed to be EVERY cat, all at once, from what I gathered, just like the Ur-Dragon is supposed to be every type of dragon in one.

>>54840245
I want to pet this cat.

Totally gonna call him Rastabro.

>>54840270
They explicitly didn't combine greek and roman stuff into one plane because they felt they had enough different stuff from greek plane to make a distinct roman plane. Maro even specifically said what it would partially be about if they did do it.

Constant Mists is amazing and has won me a couple games.

>>54840312
And I'm explicitly telling you that creative is so unimaginative and pop culture understanding of Rome is so shallow that it's going to be Theros with legionnaires.
>>
>>54840245
Dunno how I'd got about making a deck for multiplayer with him but I do like the card.
>>
>>54840347
It LITERALLY can't be "Theros with legionnaires" because creative themselves decided that there was enough distinct pop culture notions of Rome that they could make something so different from Theros that they couldn't just combine them.
