ALL OF THE MANA!

So lets say I have unwinding clock, some mana rocks and sundial of the infinite, can I just end my opponents turns?

>>55144236
>Sundial of the Infinite
RTFC.

>>55144236
no, because it specifies that you can only use sundial on your turn

>End the turn. Activate this ability only during your turn.

Stupid question time.

With atraxa and other similar abilities add to experience counters?
And if so, would there be any merit in making a fun goodstuff type deck using all of the 2015 commanders except r/w?

>>55144236
Yes you totally could if sundial didnt say activate this ability only on your turn

>>55144155
Reanimator decks, because I play reanimator decks and it's always fun interacting with other peoples' graves.

>>55144155
>Question
Any blue deck that I know doesn't run counters.

>>55144266
Yes, you can Proliferate yourself to add experience/energy counters. Keep in mind that this will also add infect counters, and that with Atraxa you can run Blaxos, Ezuri, and Meren, but you probably shouldn't run Blaxos.

>>55144266
Yes, she adds to them. Also works with Poison counters.
I personally tossed Meren and Ezrui into my build just for that.

>>55144213
I have a German Mana Flare called Manasegen.
It's pretty neat.

Hey there friends can I get another set of eyes on this work-in-progress for what to add/cut

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/29-08-17-ybI-goon-squad/

Game plan is to make playing creatures and combat absolutely fucking miserable for my Timmy meta

>>55144155
Decks with early action because it means they won't whine like a toddler when I attack them before turn 10.

reposting my shitty blog from last thread:

I was playing the other night and had a Notion Thief in play. I cast Villainous Wealth on an opponent and got a Teferi's Puzzle Box out of it. Then everyone got mad at ME for accidentally assembling a soft lock. One of them unironically used the term "spirit of EDH".

The people who play at my local store are the worst types of casual players. I just want to find a group that doesn't throw a temper tantrum every time something happens that isn't a big creature turning sideways.

>>55144236
Did you think that sundial of the infinite stopped your opponent from having a turn in 2-player games?

File: choices.png (2MB, 1074x1284px) Image search: [Google]

2MB, 1074x1284px

I asked this in the previous thread, but i'm in a dilemma.

I'm new to magic, not just to commander, but to it in general. So, i'm looking for a commander precon that will help me understand the game, for me to not get bored of it playing it and for me to upgrade it.

The closet game store to me has the 2013 commander decks on sale, 2016 precons are priced regularly and the 2017 tribals are up there in price. The deck that's not in stock is Breed Leathality with Atraxa.

I'm not sure which one to get.

Thanks for the help.

>>55144299
>Keep in mind that this will also add infect counters

No. You get to pick individually for each type of counter whether or not to add one.

Best partner pairing for the most options? For example, you wouldnt run akiri/silas unless you were doing artifacts, and outside of artifacts they wouldnt give you many options.

>>55144236
Isochron scepter+final fortune+sundial of the infinite = Nobody else ever gets a turn

>>55144426
Breya or Yidris are probably the most fun and easiest to upgrade. Also if you can get them for MSRP that is a pretty good deal.

>>55144478
You can use Vial Smasher with anything because his effect is so good.

I did Vial Smasher + Kraum for a while. Kraum is surprisingly strong. 4/4 with haste and evasion for 5 that will draw you cards.

>>55144481
I wanted to do the reverse but this does work too, I just wanna bully my friends

Scarab God Anon from before.

I've gotten it to 111 cards. Need to cut 11. I need advice.

Right now I have the four following conceptual wincons:
>Phyrexian Reclamation/Gray Merchant of Asphodel/Phyrexian Altar or Ashnod's Altar
Play Gray Merchant some number of times until opponents are dead.
>Exquisute Blood/Sanguine Bond
Do any form of damage and kill opponents.
>Triskelion/Mikaeus, the Unhallowed/Any Altar
Infinite damage, infinite mill, infinite mana, etc. depending on what altar is used.
>Scarab God/Stax
Stall the game with Stax while I wait for Scarab God's ability to kill opponents. Use Scarab God's scry to scry for answers.

This is the best I could come up with, thanks for the advice last thread. This is my first time building an EDH deck alone.

>>55144541

>>55144560
I'm an idiot who forgot a link to my deck list.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/27-08-17-bu-zombies/

>>55144540
Out of the 12 I have I randomly picked two numbers and got reyhan and kydele. This is either going to be the coolest rampy counters deck or more likely absolute fucking garbage.

vial and kraum sounds fun too, and I love the colors, especially with so many high cost new spells in hour of devastation.

So is Teferi's protection mandatory in white? I feel like I have to buy the deck just to get it.

>>55144584
Just buy the single?

>>55144604

The single is approaching the price of the precon.

>>55144584
It's strong, but fortunately monowhite is so bad that you don't have to bother

>>55144614
its 20 right now, you can get 2 for about the same cost as the precon

>>55144426
Ok, first things first. There are many ways to play mtg, as you could probably see by the commanders, they all do different kinds of things. I personally think that the C16 decks were all pretty good. Saskia and the gaymen have pretty fixed gameplays, so I wouldn't really recommend unless you like their mechanics. Yidris is fun, but it may be too random and sometimes frustrating(I may be biased since I am not a lucky person).

I think Breya would be a better option because she does a lot of different things herself, so you won't do the same stuff every time. And artifacts not only is the second card type with the most support(second only to creatures), but you can always fit in(since 99% of the artifacts are colorless), and every set there are new artifacts to play with.Also, Breya deck comes with useful artificer cuties

>>55144426
>Entropic Uprising $96, Top Card - Chromatic Lantern $11
>Stalwart Unity $86, Top Card - Forbidden Orchard $5
>Open Hostility $85, Top Card - Ravos, Soultender $7
>Invent Superiority $80, Top Card - Breya, Etherium Shaper $8
>Mind Seize $66, Top Card - True-Name Nemesis $28
>Power Hungry $55, Top Card - Primal Vigor $15
>Eternal Bargain $53, Top Card - Toxic Deluge $7
>Nature of the Beast $47, Top Card - Avenger of Zendikar $5
>Evasive Maneuvers $46, Top Card - $5 Thousand-Year Elixir

Not only is Yidris the most valuable overall, it has the best Top Card in terms of usability. Any deck with 3 or more colors will be happy to have a Chromatic Lantern. The second best card in the deck, Vial Smasher, is herself nearly $11 too. Add to that, Entropic Uprising is a fairly powerful deck out of the box, and it comes across as a clear winner.

Stalwart Unity is deceptively pricey. It has a high density of cards that are $1 or $2 but lacks any real big number value cards.

>>55144618

I want it for my Sunforger package.

>>55144540
>his

Vial Smasher is a girl goblin. Hard to tell, I know.

>>55144573
I'd cut: never//return, negate, empty the pits and essence scatter for starters. Mainly because this cards aren't that great and you seem to have more than enough counters/token producers/ removal already.

>>55144426
I don't like the 4 color ones to start. The mana base isn't good and it's hard to upgrade, and 4 colors to choose cards from is quite overwhelming

2013's precons are built like shit and 2014's mono color limits you too much
I'd pick a 2 color one from 2015 or this year's tribals. Cats and Vamps are preety noob friendly and Dragons, while being 5 color, are Timmy's wet dream and have a preety cohesive theme to work with.

I started playing Magic with 2015 Ezuri's deck and it was quite easy to upgrade and get strong cards for those colors. I loved when I went from being a non-factor in my games to actually winning in semi-competitive tables from upgrading it

>>55144655
>>55144663
I didn't know this was a meme. I just don't give a shit about lore and rarely look closely at art. Sorry I triggered you

>>55144688
>I'd pick a 2 color one from 2015
That wasn't one of the options.

Probably the only reason they still have 2013 ones to sell is because they were garbage.

>>55144660
That seems resonable.

>>55144478

Strongest are Thrasios in multiplayer and Vial-Smasher in 1v1

Most versatile are Tymna and Kydele. Tymna is consistent as fuck and has access to the best support colors and Kydele can ramp like a madlass.

>>55144426
I would recommend either Yidris or Breya, as they are cool and interesting build around commanders with good cards included in their precons. As a disclaimer I have not played with either of these commanders, but based on what they do they could both be informative for a new player. Breya has a lot more complexity built into herself, and will let you gain experience with more intricate decision making surrounding her ability and how to best generate value with your artifacts. Yidris has less complex decision making, but will allow you greater freedom in what you put into the deck and lets you play a lot of cards each game.

>>55144735
What if you dont have tymna? I didnt get the saskia precon.

Reposting my Wizards list from last thread because why not with a few adjustments mostly based on that feedback.
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/hi-inalla-mays-here-with-lots-a-dudes/

I'm way too tempted to put in Xenograft, Conspiracy and the new Ixalan version of them once it drops and replace all but the best Wizards in the deck with generally busted Grixis ETB effects.

>>55144573
I'd cut a few lands. I usually settle at about 34-35 lands depending on how many mana rocks I run.

>>55144348
That sounds gay as fuck

>>55144348
Notion Thief is a bullshit card

>>55144348

Wow your store sucks.

>>55144772
Then you buy her. She's like 5$. She's not that great but she's so fucking consistent that she's part of the best 2 decks for parters, together with Thrasios and Tana

>>55144644
>decides to take a look at the decklists
>Breya comes with Daretti, Skullclamp, and Solemn Simulacrum
>Yidris comes with Reforge the Soul, Wheel of Fate, and Chromatic Lantern, not to mention that Yidris and its partner commanders are decent
Man I really forgot how bad the C17 decks are.


>>55144426
There is another point to add for the C16 decks, they are the only commander decks with the Partner Commanders(You can use 2 commanders instead of 1, if both of them have the partner ability), it is pretty weird in a fun way to play with that.

>>55144348
Maybe they should be mad at the guy running Teferi's Puzzle Box if they're going to be so casual.

>>55144854
If buying her was an option I would have just said thanks ill pick her up. I wont be able to buy her for a few weeks.Long story short I live in bumfuck nowhere, my job is a small company that doesnt do direct deposit, so i have cash and no bank card, and we dont have an lgs near me.

The very next game, a separate 3rd person won a game after Puzzle Box came out by dropping this dude.

When I got my Notion Thief lock, one of the dudes has a Rout in his hand and had enough mana out to respond to the Box trigger by Routing away the Thief but he just didn't know he could respond to it like that. These players are retarded

>>55144560
>>Exquisute Blood/Sanguine Bond
>Do any form of damage and kill opponents.
This deck isn't enchantress or lifegain. You waste a tutor finding the other half and you get yourself spot removed because everyone and their dog knows the combo, and it has to make it around the table at least twice. Each half has zero interaction with your commander, so why are you running this?

>>55145091
Ah, that explains both the lack of precon knowledge and the choice of commander then.

>>55145050
>tfw every commander that interests me has w/b in its mana cost

I already build little teysa with all the removal I could find, next is granddaddy markov and after that maybe sharuum. I can only afford so many vampiric/demonic tutors help.

>>55145101
is oloro noob bait? i like regenration stuff in other games

>>55145132
Oloro will just get you hated out.

>>55145100
Because most EDH players refuse to add enough interaction into their decks to deal with combo decks then go on to complain about combos. You would be surprised how often you can blatantly assemble a combo that everyone knows about in most playgroups.

>>55144970
IDK man, if you really wanna play her just build the deck and proxy her in the meanwhile.
If your playgroup doesn't let you proxy a $5 card they're probably faggots anyways

>>55145110
Now see, I can do something like Esper, but straight Orzhov doesn't work for me.

>>55145132
Oloro is massive noob bait. He generally never gets cast and gets built as pillowfort, which is a lot less secure than you may think. He gets hated on hard for passively getting you value and is pretty boring to play as well.

>>55145132
It's not noob bait. If you're not playing competitively, it's powerful to gain life every turn for no investment. The problem is that anyone with a brain will just attack you constantly to keep your life total in check.

>>55145161
Its not that I really want to play her man, I was asking what would the person recommend outside of her.

>>55145110
>I already build little teysa with all the removal I could find
The best way to play Teysa is with Grave Pact effects. Besides those all you need is a couple board wipes, a couple non-creature permanent removal spells (Return to Dust, Vindicate, Utter End, etc). She acts as creature removal for when you need it, so there's really no reason to run very much removal.
>>55145149
It doesn't win the game for you on the spot though, and if your shit meta DOES happen to have proper interaction, you're just left with a do-nothing enchantment. Take advantage of the commander, stick to creature based combo.

>>55145205
Sounds like you have the Yidris precon
Thrasios+Vial smasher is preety fucking strong anyways, and you can run Simic goodstuff with Kydele instead of Vial, even though I prefer Rashmi for that kind of deck.

The Yidris precon had the strongest commanders and the best value. Yidris is a value machine that eventually wins from casting free stuff so he isn't bad at all. If you play ultra competitive he's tier 1 as far as I know too.

- creature doesn't die

>>55145284
I have all of them except for saskia. Im not sure if you saw my first post but im looking for partners that dont pigeonhole you into a certain style of gameplay, for example if i paired akiri with silas, it'd be stupid not to run artifacts. Does that make sense? Im a bit drunk.

Ok. Depends on the build. Works well with Eldrazi Displacer

One rule: Do not forget the return trigger or Obzedat will be stuck in exile

>>55145535
I don't think that forgetting it stops it from happening. The exile trigger says "may" but the return doesn't, so it happens unless another card effect says that it doesn't.

Totally fresh to EDH, alot of friends are recommending to just buy a premade EDH deck and build from there, and doing some research alot of people say many of the premades are pretty decent, at least for the level someone like me will be playing on.

Right now Im thinking either Feline Ferocity or Vampiric Bloodlust, both are readily available in nearby big stores like Walmart and TRU, are there any others to keep a lookout for?

>>55146519
The token from post combat eminence is sacced at end of turn. You get another eminence trigger from the original returning, but this one wont be sacced until the next end step because the time for end step triggers has passed. So your final token for the turn wouldnt leave until the end of the next turn, allowing you to keep it for combat on said next turn.

It's only going to get more expensive as time goes on.

>>55146834
She's too expensive to reprint now :^)

If wotc reprinted her in commander next year then investors would buy them so it's not even worth reprinting them of course :^)

>>55147587
nah, kaladesh was opened to fuck, it will drop horribly once it rotates cause its only playable in EDH outside of standard

>>55147321

Atleast your stuff will probably keep value. I've wanted the Masterpiece Gearhulk partially because it looks like Gypsy Danger. It's pretty much not played anywhere but EDH.

>>55146999
It's stupid bullshit to push the gatewatch.

The good news is that this rules change has no impact on the legit competitive formats, Legacy and Vintage. Planeswalker decks get a little more annoying in casual EDH and maybe they break Standard (I hope they do) but that's it. The change is dumb but it doesn't have any bad effects.

That doesn't really contribute much. The copies won't have the lure effect or the Scythe effect.

Scarab God anon back again. I made another edit and took out Stax. Instead I added in some of the more control walkers. Honestly I took out Stax since my deck was becoming more combo and I'd prefer just to keep it combo rather than Stax.

Any thoughts? The competitive percentage went way down, but I don't even know what that percentage means.

How should i build derevi that isnt lockdown? I like her versatility but at the same time not sure where to focus on

>>55149880
You'd steal as many things as your creature is able to actually kill. If it only has 3 power and is blocked by 8 guys, you'll get to assign 1 damage each to 3 of those guys. If they do actually die from it (meaning it isn't stopped by protection, indestructible, etc.), you'll get to steal them.

>>55150066

Cycling lands turn into draw 2 for 1, which you then fetch back with Life From the Loam. He effectively draws you a new card each turn, and doubles your potential landfall triggers. Anything that can discard cards for free will allow you to sculpt your hand like a madman. Also he's undercosted as shit, a 6/6 deathtouch for 5. How is that not broken?

You control all the Scythe of the Wretched triggers, so you put them on the stack in whatever order you want. You want the trigger returning Pestilence Demon to be the last to resolve so the scythe will be attached to it at the end.

Alright lads, I've got a mono-coloured deck of each colour except blue (and brown I guess). I've got:
Lovisa Coldeyes, shitty aggro for red
Xiahou Dun, The One-Eyed, big-mana control for black
Euro, Renegade Leader, elfball for green.
What should I build for blue (and/or brown) in a multiplayer focused meta (No baral, he won't hold up in 4-5 players.)?

>>55151394
And a lin-sivvi control deck in white. Forgot to add that.

>>55151394
I would've recommended wizards but the recent precon has sort of ruined that charm (I still play it regardless) Unesht is theoretically really powerful while also letting you build flavour and having Timmy goodstuff. If you're willing to compromise and make a Blue and brown deck I would recommend Jin-Gitaxias big artifact mana + eldrazi.

What are the most useful cycling and morph effects? Stuff like Decree of Pain and Willbender.

>>55151394
Go monoblue aggro. Kira's resilient dudes, Braids sea monsters or polymorph tribal (with optional creature stealing subtheme) with Jalira.

Is Black market worth it in Edgar if only 3 people in my play group play boardwipes (one is playing Animar with 49 creatures) ?

No. They usually don't announce things like that either, they just update all their listings on Gatherer when the CR update adds the creature type.

>Aetherwind Basker
Admittedly, it's one of the least likely in the list to be eratta'd, but it could happen.
>Brooding Saurian
Another one that's uncertain whether or not it'd be errata'd. It was a Rare only printed in Coldsnap and C13 though so supply is scarce and it has an appealing ability.
>Deathmist Raptor
A Mythic rare that will obviously be errata'd and one of the few Dinosaurs that will be on the lower end of your curve.
>Lava Runner
A Mercadian Masques rare and we've just seen how much they're willing to scrape the bottom of the barrel on those. Another decent low CMC dinosaur.
>Magmasaur
A Tempest rare, guaranteed to be in the errata.
>Pygmy Allosaurus
Stupid as it seems, it is an Ice Age rare. They may reprint it, but the Swampwalk may not necessarily be what they wanted.
>Regal Behemoth
If it is part of the errata, almost a guaranteed buyout target.

My decks are feeling worse and worse. Even the decks I haven't changed suddenly feel like hot garbage.

I wish my friends had decks like they used to. And by the way, if your suggestion is to "git gud", I seriously tried to make a strong, more competitive deck. But stax pieces are fucking expensive and my attempts at competitive decks end up even worse than my normal ones.

>>55152747
I really wish one of the new cards would've been a Wizard token producer. Docent of Perfection is great and all, but most of the new cards they printed weren't really all that good for Wizards. Bloodline Necromancer and Galescaster Colossus were cool and useful, but a token producer would've been great for what Wizards want to do.

>>55152998
I think you set your standards too high. What is "good" is largely meta dependent and the rest is competence in deck building.

i'm not even that anon, i'm pointing out that linking cantrips for card draw is retardation

a lot of of green's "draw" isn't even draw anyway, it's stuff like cultivate and evolutionary leap, cards that turn 1 card into multiple cards without the word "draw" ever being used. so searching for "draw a card" on magiccards is dumb

>>55153758
that was the point retard

>>55153758
>a lot of of green's "draw" isn't even draw anyway

You're thinking of "Card advantage", which Evolutionary Leap isn't even anyway.

Unless you have expendable instant speed removal every time he hits the board, he replaces himself. He can recur annoying locks like Spore Frog while pumping himself. Of course though, graveyard hate makes short process out of him, but by that time he probably has a strong board position.

No, that's using other cards that produce card advantage and then having Evolutionary Leap filter those into better cards.

Tokens are card advantage?

I love this card so much, but dunno where to put it. It seems so easy for that card to bite you in the ass.

>>55153864
More than Evolutionary Leap. Dragon Fodder turns one card into multiple cards. They're not hand advantage but they're card advantage.

>>55153864
Yes. It's what's usually considered "virtual card advantage", since you're not getting real cards out of it, but tokens are functionally identical to permanent cards in the eyes of many cards, such as Evolutionary Leap.

If you make two 3/3 Elephants from one spell and your opponent Lightning Bolts one, you're up on Card Advantage.

>>55144840
Not gonna disagree anon, but it's a damn good one.

>>55152058
Did you try Lightning Bolt?

>>55153884
Well, for flavour purposes Bassandra is clearly the right choice. Gilsela or Iroas are backup options for the same schtick. Personally, I run it in feldon for a surprise fuck-you out of nowhere if you aren't paying attention. You loot him early, ramp into a fatty, then slap him down with haste and everyone cries.

Alternative, Xenagos. If Xenagos is out, you cast that bitch, it's game over. 16/16 double strike haste is strong enough to win you the game, and if you run something like Pathbreaker Ibex or Overwhelming Stampede, it gets nutty real fast.

Nope. But using tokens with Evolutionary Leap creates card advantage.

Pic related is not card advantage.

>>55153096
Tenatively agreed, But the deck is designed to play reactively to opponents.The two cards you meantioned are great for the Archmage Ritualist, but you have to realize that the point of the deck is to ourwit your opponents by getting good value out of solid creatures, not swarm and overrun. That task was taken over by the vampires.

Can anyone take a look at the lands here and let me know what needs to be added/cut?

Virtual card advantage is more card advantage than anything Evolutionary Leap is doing.

evolutionary leap also gives you card advantage when some dickhead casts a wrath and you sac all your shit in response

Is Explore the first verb creatures can do sans attack or block?

>>55154006
Card advantage is access to more cards as a resource. An effect that requires you to sacrifice a creature is using creatures, typically creature cards, as a resource. Being able to use creature tokens means that one card effectively became multiple cards for the purpose of that effect.

The total concept of card advantage is a lot more nuanced than "the number of cards in your hand."

>>55154037
Combinations of cards can produce card advantage and while Evolutionary Leap does not produce CA on its own, it can with other cards. The same is true for token producers but at best you can call them virtual card advantage on their own.

>does not produce CA on its own, it can with other cards.

Evolutionary Leap is never the one producing card advantage. It's can "upgrade" virtual card advantage into actual cards at best.

Also >>55154070 is closer to "maintaining" card advantage than it is "giving" card advantage. This is something you actually see a lot of in Green, where the cards like to replace themselves. You don't actually gain card advantage but you keep from losing it.

>>55154108
In MTG, they're nouns. A creature has trample. The act of trampling over something isn't described in game rules.

>>55154112
Ah, right. Cards can haunt things. I wonder what other verbs permanents get (since haunt isn't really used by permanents).

>>55154134
you want people to hate you? sure

>>55154079
True but tokens are not cards. It's the combo that creates card advantage and we shouldn't bastardize the term by changing the meaning to "permanent advantage". That is its own separate concept.

That's not card advantage.

That's situational card advantage. Harmonize is card advantage because it nets you cards every time it's cast.

Brainstorm is not card advantage, it's card selection because it lets you pick your best cards in your hand, and you don't net any more cards than you originally had with brainstorm in your hand. Ponder is card selection for the same reason. Evolutionary leap is a card-draw engine, but isn't strictly card advantage unless you build around it.

Notion thief isn't card advantage either, just like fecundity isn't card advantage, unless you specifically build around it, which means it's situational card advantage. By comparison, Consecrated Sphinx IS card advantage, because you draw two cards every single opponent's turn on their draw step, which means you're gaining cards just by having it on the field without any other tech.

Come on anon, you're like a little baby. This isn't complicated. It's like saying demonic tutor is card advantage. It's not, it's selection.

>>55154143
Fight.

>>55154164
>It's the combo that creates card advantage and we shouldn't bastardize the term by changing the meaning to "permanent advantage". That is its own separate concept.

The usual term is already "virtual card advantage" when referring to token effects. Even without "combos", tokens are able to represent card advantage, typically more by exhausting your opponents card advantage, like if you were to block and kill two X/1 creature cards with your 1/1 Servos.

>>55154185
situational card advantage is card advantage, it's just a shitty version of it, which you should be getting used to since you're in green and can't really get card advantage in that many other ways

the whole thing with green's card advantage is that it often has a high chance of whiffing but huge rewards if you don't

>>55154180

>[laughs in Tireless Tracker]

>>55154222
Exactly! You hit the nail on the head. It's card advantage, but an objectively shittier version of it.

This is why I think green has poor card draw, it has things that might draw you cards, but they're so dependent on setup my autism can't justify using them as card advantage. I think red actually has stronger "card draw" (note, I'm using this term loosely) because of looting effects, but I'm a little biased because I love graveyard shenanigans, and I recognize that it's elaborate card selection.

>>55154285

>>55154139
>Evolutionary Leap is never the one producing card advantage.
That's an asinine statement. Neither Servo Exhibition nor Evolutionary Leap directly produces card advantage but together these types of cards form a combo that produces card advantage. Both are parts of it and you can't say that half of the combo isn't producing card advantage.

As an example, with the Donate + Illusions of Grandeur combo. It would be wrong to say "Donate doesn't win you the game". It's a combo and it needs both cards to do what it does.

>>55154286
>looting
>card advantage
NO

>>55154308
>Both are parts of it and you can't say that half of the combo isn't producing card advantage.

Like I said, it's not "producing" the card advantage. It's filtering virtual card advantage into card advantage. It's technically quibbling over diction, but an important part of understanding card advantage is being able to perceive the difference.

When people refer to cards that produce card advantage, it's incorrect to point to Evolutionary Leap without caveat.

>>55154353
And equally wrong to point to tokens, which you seem to be reluctant to say.

>>55154377
I've been making a point to refer to tokens as virtual card advantage.

>>55154349
>I think red actually has stronger "card draw" (note, I'm using this term loosely) because of looting effects, but I'm a little biased because I love graveyard shenanigans, and I recognize that it's elaborate card selection.
Where the did I say looting is card advantage? It's card selection with a downside that can be used as an upside. Please read more carefully.
