What would you do to fix monowhite and monored?

Does it fit the color pie?

>>43598646
It's fine, she filed for a permit over two months ago. Do azorius girls lose all inhibitions in bed

>>43598686
I don't know but Rakdos girls lose all inhibitions everywhere else.

Rules lawyers are the shittiest and most unfun people to play with.

This isn't competitive REL, even at SCG events and pods.

>>43598678
Monored is really tough because there are actually a few very competitive monored commanders despite how bad the colour is overall. Every time you bring something to the board for Kazuul or Diaochan, you gotta worry about Krenko or Daretti inching their way up.

I think monowhite only needs better ways to get advantage on colour though.

>>43598678
Card draw
No
but seriously every other color has reliable card draw which is what makes them good so why can't red or white? Red's getting better but still

Can you guys help me make/edit my first tri-color deck? Sultai for that matter.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/11-11-15-work/

Trying to utilize graveyard play and making sacrificing part of my strategy. Should I run more green mana ramps or blue draw cards? Any cards you would recommend or remove?

Green/White Weenie deck was pretty easy for me to learn but I'm honestly having trouble working this Sultai deck out.

Only if they enter the bedroom with a +1/+1 counter.

>>43598678
Card flow.
No, really, that's it. A way to get cards into hand again. In 60 cards Magic, this isn't really a problem because the games are over quickly, but EDH is all a game about card flow and that's solely the reason why red and white are the worst colors in it and blue and green the best.

Which is funny because I think white is the best support color and UWx or GWx are some of the best colors, since card advantage + a way to answer literally everything is too good.

Just make some other more efficient elkin draw cards in red and give white some more ways to draw cards and they'll get a lot better.

>"Competitive" EDH

>>43598678
Personally I have a huge problem removing creatures in red. Black has is so easy, followed by white's exile, then blue's everything. Maybe not having to pay 5+ mana just to remove a problem creature one time?
Maybe some less suicidal creatures. Does every red common need to be an x/1 with haste? More instants.

>Ordered stuff for a deck on Sunday

>>43598846
People who parade around their competitive EDH decks always have a fake ass moral superiority thing going on, as if playing a format in a certain way grants them special powers or some shit.

It's sickening. you can play EDH competitively with friends or at events or whatever, but it's gross to act like you're better then people casting cultivates and Kodama's reaches to ramp into shit that actually plays with the mechanics of the game in an interesting way

>Sign up for Pucatrade

Why haven't you signed up to Pucatrade yet, anon? What's your excuse?

>>43599043

>>43598586

>>43598912
NOT THE BEES

>>43599064
You get points for sending cards to people, and then when you have enough points, people send you cards.

>>43599043
Because sending things through the mail is a bitch.

>>43599082
Anon there are so many bugs

>>43599101
I assume it's US only?

>>43599043
>Argentina
Oh man I want some sweet Pucatrade cards pls, I though South America didn't had enough traders, how do you earn points again?

>>43598586
Put banding on this shit. when someone swings big, dump all the damage here.

>>43599064
Its simple actually. Ship out cards to people who want(i.e. are in their "want list) them in exchange for "points"(1 point = 1 cent of the card's realtime value) When you have enough points from that, people can send you cards that you have in your "want list" for points.

>>43599129
There are non-US users, but from what I understand the US users have the easiest time.

>>43599123
But do they have enough decent ones or ones with synergy?
I love the idea of a nest that poops out angry hornets, how can this be done?
I've seen the great snake mistake, now I need the horrible hornet happening

>>43598415
Posting my shitty meren brew, I can't decide on what to take out. Help would be appriciated.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/value-train-1/

>>43598923
Guys seriously what do I do

I'm getting worried

>>43599142
You can earn points immediately when you sign up for doing basic things (about $5 right off the bat), then you earn points by sending people cards(but they have to confirm they got them, which can be scary but oh well) and you can also get $1-$3 worth of points(depending on your membership) for each person you refer.

Artifacts don't. Artifact creatures do.

There's also this, which can honestly turn into a goddamn nightmare

>>43598923
You live in a small town?
Pray anon. It's the only way.
Last year someone shipped me a Christmas present a month before Christmas. When I finally got the broken and beaten box in late February, I was curious and called the person who sent it to me.
Evidently it went across the entire country twice somehow, then went to Alaska, then came back to the person who sent it before being repackaged and sent again.

>>43599286
why is the art on this card so goddamn terrible

>>43599288
>You live in a small town?
Yes. Usually stuff gets here but I'm just worried because USPS hasn't updated tracking at all, and the other two packages (all 3 from TCGPlayer) are well on their way

Also our new mailman sucks

>>43599307
I just noticed it' the same bug three times, just flipped around.
What the hell man.

>>43599369
The Magic artists now just aren't as good as before I guess.

>>43599369
>>43599307
THE BUGS ANON

THE BUUUUUUGS

>>43599348
Good luck. You've a lot more trust than I do in the USPS.
Found out a few years ago my grandma pretty much just stopped sending letters because I never responded. It's not the only thing I know that consistently "disappears". But the bills and junk mail never fail. And I never ship anything without the insurance.

>>43599397
it bugs me

>>43599402
The postal service is fucking crazy. Seriously if the mailing address says "take a left about a quarter mile past the rock across the road from the tree that looks like James Madison's penis" it will fucking get there

>>43599394
I disagree but whatever.

>>43599043
I really want to try it, but I'm spastic about shipping things out because I have to Noah for shipping and shit.

>>43598721
But some people have fun operating within the rules.

Just agree on a REL to enforce before hand.

>>43599402
Well doesn't TCG have their sellers ship to their warehouse then send it out in their own envelope? The package from them is comprised of cards from like 8 different stores

>>43599174
Me again I think I got it
Hornets nest

Awesome the new commander helps

>>43598678
Redstorm
R-Instant
Exile 2 cards at random from your hand, and the top three cards of your library.
You may play cards exiled this way until the end of your next turn.

Basically reprint all the glorious old cantrips of yesteryear, but with red's new exile mechanic.

White needs more equipment, and equipment based card advantage..

>>43599555
Depends on if it's tcgplayer direct or not

>>43599595
This one was, with just regular shipping

What's that, like a week? I'm just antsy because there's been no update since Sunday

>>43599490
Casual and Regular REL work within the rules.

Rules Sharking isn't an REL problem, it's a person problem.

>>43599465
Are you bait?

>>43599706
Really? You adhere to priority in your casual games?

>>43599714
Not that guy, but some art is still sweet. It's true that a bunch of the digital art just straight up looks terrible.
The Traditional Art that gets done is still very nice looking.
Traditional Art pieces usually look better on cards and usually convey their content better, since digital art just gets riddled with details and becomes incomprehensible on a card (see: all of Steve Argyles stuff)

>>43599756
Yes. in the same way that you adhere to priority in Competitive REL. by knowing how the shit works, because those are the rules.
Shortcuts still happen at competitive REL, people dont mention priority unless there is a reason to.

No. Old Magic art was garbage save a very, very select few.

But that's not EDH and it's also not a discussion I wanna have here because I know 90% of the arguments and they're all trash 'muh traditional painting', 'muh style', 'muh creative outlook', 'muh cartoons & fun'

>>43599757
You better not be shitting on Jamie Jones, bitch.

Wondering how you guys reckon X spells and the new UR general work?

>Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell with converted mana cost greater than the number of experience counters you have, you get an experience counter.

Will the CMC be whatever X is? Or X + the other costs (ie RRX and X=5 the CMC would be 7) or is CMC just the non X part of the cost?

>>43599783
>http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/11-11-15-work
Mindslaver with Tasigur and 14 mana is a lock, you know.

>>43599837
X costs aren't taken into account for the CMC of a spell. Comet Storm's CMC is 2

>>43599812
Well, a lot of it comes down to being able to read the artwork of the card without having to try and it also not looking like freshly molded clay dogshit. Which some of Jaime Jones's shit looks like.

The gross digital artwork kind of works for Eldrazi cards though, because of their 'alienness'

>>43599837
You choose the X number, then that gets added to other costs, then you take that number and apply her discount to it.

>>43599882
It does when it's on the stack.

>>43599837
it will be X + the other costs when you cast it, which is the only time it matters for Mizzix

>>43599882
>>43599837
X is 0 everywhere else but on the stack. On stack CMC the total mana paid for the spell.

>>43599858
>14 mana

Jesus. I thought needing 13 for Hanna was bad.
On that note, Eidolon of Rhetoric and Decree of Silence is also wonderful. Even better with Inoxerable Tide.

>>43599910
>>43599948
Thanks, I was unaware of that.

>>43599837
I like the UR general, is that alone worth getting the deck?
Some of these 99 cards seem really shit once I get over how aesthetically pretty Blue and Red is together.

>>43600000
Check'd.
Buy single, if you're only interested in mizzix. mystic confluence has some value tho.

>>43599975
its really only ten mana if you have prophet out.

>>43599858
>Tasigur and 14 mana is a lock
I'll be honest, I have no clue what you mean by that.
I looked at Mindslaver and I honestly don;t like controlling other people's turns.

Is there anything I can do to stop this shit? I'm so bummed out right now about this flaw in my deck.

>>43600066
What I mean is you use ten mana to cast and use Mindslaver, then on their controlled turn you activate Tasigur's ability and make them pick Mindslaver. Rinse and repeat. Also why the fuck would you NOT want to use the best effect in all of magic!?

Pic related for spells that target you. Krosan Grip for tormod's crypt and his relatives. Witchbane Orb or Orbs of Warding for Bojuka Bog (also good for spells that target you)

>>43600098
Nah man, sometimes decks just fold to the shit that make them lose. you can just make every single card a threat and only dedicated constant graveyard hate can put you to a halt, but you can't really fix a flaw that is inherent in your commander/colors. Grave yard strategies are still broken shits though, so you should be fine.

Why Deadbridge Chant though? doesn't seem.... good.

>>43600169
A++++ 10/10 great ebayer

>>43600177
>Grip for crypt
>does nothing when the guy holds priority and sacs crypt after her plays it

Also does nothing for RiP and things that directly target the graveyard like Scooze

>>43600132
Why the fuck was he even swinging a 50/50 into that if it didn't have trample!? Making the nest indestructible made no difference in you winning.

>>43600222
groundseal works for scooze. Rest in Peace can suck a dick, though.

>>43599910
>>43599895

Cheers for that, its how I thought it worked but wanted to make sure before I make an X-spell deck around it.

One other thing though. A friend of mine reckons you apply the discount even to X spells. I don't think it works like that, but my rules knowledge is crap so I could be wrong.

Can I apply the discount for X spells? IE, with 5 EXP counters, I could declare X to be 7, but only pay 2 of it?

>>43600243
>Rest in Peace can suck a dick
I will never stop loving the taste of your delicious tears.

Stupid rules question
If I cast a fireball where x=10 and I use pyromancers goggles to pay for part of the cost triggering its copy ability does the copy hit for 10 like the original spell?

>>43600247
Yes

>>43600065
Well, prophet is a faggot anyway.

I've thought about putting unwinding clock into Hanna, but its more of a control deck featuring enchantment/artifact combos.

Check It out http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/hanna-ships-combo-and-control/

I don't think it's 100% up to date, but the gist is there.

>>43600180
>Place ten cards into my graveyard when it hits the field.
>Allows me to pull things out (Granted at random) that I don't want in there every upkeep.
If I accidentally dredge some equipment for my big, beefy monster, I can get it back. I'm sure there are cards that do that better, but I don't know them.

>>43600322
Yes

>>43600335
Greenwarden of Murasa, Eternal WItness, and Regrowth are all good for that.

I want to build a RGu commander deck because I like playing big creatures and I like things like rhystic study and frozen aether, who is the least degenerate but still decent commander I can run?

>>43600411
Surrak Dragonclaw

>>43600366
Yeah, but with Deadbridge I get to return something EVERY upkeep.

>>43600411
Riku is literally Goodstuff Inc.
Animar is all creatures
Yasova is a rather specialized value deck
Surrak is whatever so there's that

>>43600492
Well if you run BUG just play tasigur or deadeye navigator then.

>>43600492
And every upkeep is very slow. and it's just so much mana to not do anything the turn it comes down.

I mean,I see how it could have impressive results, but I guess our metas are just really different in terms of speed. Deadbridge chant wouldn't get enough value before the super late game to be worth the mana put into it.

>>43600460
>>43600502
Ok I was leaning towards Surrak so I'll probably go that route, thanks!

>>43600444
Kurkesh is insane. I have a sorta stax deck I've been working on with him and he can honestly be fucking bonkers, using your non mana-rock artifacts twice each turn can be devastating

What do you guys think about MLD and similar effects? It gets super annoying that people think lands being sacred and therefore untouchable. Even earlier today one guy playing monogreen complained me putting Sunder in one of my decks, and I started talking about armageddon after he has shat his entire landbase to the table. He went as far as complained MLD being cheater cards.

>>43600224
Shieet, literally the only reason that was important, the 50/50 had double strike

>>43600726
You do realize that double striker without trample doesn't do combat damage second time, if blocker dies on first damage step?

>>43599782
Then I don't see what you're complaining about. Rules lawyers only act when someone is mistaken about the rules, or not following them.

The shortcut rules are used, but shortcuts need to be consented to before being used.

>>43600759
Really? Well... 100 hornets is better than 50 either way but now I do wonder why he swung, I just assumed the double strike woulda killed me

>>43600649
I think they're extremely necessary and anyone who doesn't see that is probably just ramping into stupid and don't realize that they're no different than the guy complaining about grave hate or the guy complaining about too many wraths. They're all just answers to their bullshit

>>43600841
There's a small subset of loud people who are retarded, and think ramp decks are actually better equipped to win after a geddon.

This is easily proven false by considering the two situations: Either they sandbag ramp in case of a geddon, or they don't.

If they don't, they're in topdeck mode the same as the rest of us, and have less topdecks to draw (having ramped a lot of lands out already).

If they do sandbag ramp spells, then great. The thread of MLD is keeping them honest.

>>43600809
Ok, Maybe 'Rules Lawyer' Is a slight misnomer to what he was talking about.

Rules Shark fits better. Ya know, the ones that bring up rules and regulations when it is advantageous to them, but then never when something sneaky happens and it could possibly be bad for them?

Regular old Rules Lawyers can mean well, Rules Sharks are Rules Lawyers that intend on being dicks to people who aren't necessarily as competent in the rules to screw them over. That type of attitude is pretty easy to pick up on, and it happens a lot with Randoms at LGSes.

>>43600649
Hell Im trying to make a standard deck which is based around land destruction. Works wonders with Crumble To Dust with all the Tri-colour decks and Dual-colour decks currently appearing in standard. Mono blue is pretty much the only colour that can achieve a decent win-rate at standard level.

>>43600841
Agreed, but they never seem to learn to not dump all of their manabase to the table. I hate it when they do that and think that should be left unanswered. Same guy went full baby mode and would scoop to MLD.

>>43600938
What deck in standard is mono-blue?

I'm also pretty sure you get shit on by Atarka Red. since all those LD spells cost 4 and they run wild slashes and impulses for your mana dorks or whatever

Buying the BG deck on Friday. Feels good.

>>43600921
I see now.

Yeah, those guys are dicks.

My rules for rules lawyering are:

Always stop a play that breaks the rules (if I notice I've broken one too late, I'll usually concede)

Other than that, stay silent on rules issues unless asked.

>>43600980
Like forcing players to miss mandatory upkeep triggers because they drew a card or something before they even did anything during their main phase.

That shit is easy to forget when you're hanging out with friends you just kinda do things out of order because you're trying to play magic to relax or because the stakes are low.

But in general, I agree with that rule, if you're gonna call out rules problems, call your own out, and if it's too late to fix, then concede or face some gameplay based punishment.

>>43600964
I never said the land destruction worked. Am actually trying to combine Artarka with the land destruction. The deck i played against was mono blue sphinx's, flying merfolk and counter/bounce/tap (so standard control). Wins via mill with sphinx's insight or flying damage. Anyway, enough about standard in the EDH post.

Guy was arguing that you could put your commander in the command zone, from anywhere, whenever you want. I almost slapped the fucker the mouth

>>43600980
I'm the only player in my group who put any time into learning the rules. I could probably pass the judge test if there were enough events going on around me.

Leads to a bunch of people asking me questions, which is always a hoot in EDH.

Fuck if I know. He's a huge dickhead, last time we played a new guy with last year's green precon showed up, and he devoted everything to getting the guy off the table.

Also, time before last, he was insisting that an All is Dust wouldn't make him sac his Thassa or Phenax. I can't tell if he's retarded and bad at the game or if he's just trying to get a rise out of people.

>>43601180
>okay
Well you can't just pop it from the graveyard back to the command zone, which is what he was trying to do (without playing a reanimator effect)

There's a guy at my LGS who thinks himself a judge and tries to 'judge' FNM when the actual judge can't show up, but his rules knowledge is mediocre at best. He, for instance, didn't know and tried to argue me on using Celestial Flare at the end of combat to kill the creature you want after damage. I had to pull up gatherer, and when he was proven wrong, he brushed it off as an 'errata' he never heard of.

I'm considering behaving as the local part time judge because he's seriously bad, but that'd mean I'd have to step down from FNM and I actually enjoy FNM so fuck that.

I doubt it. Honestly, most people on the store don't seem pay him much attention either, but he sometimes butts in and is specially eager to mess with new people.

Not knowing any better, the new guy played like that until last week when I noticed that and told him otherwise.

Without MLD, ramping is too safe and consistent a strategy. You get your land ramp that will never get removed, and guaranteed payoff spells: even if you don't draw your top-end, you always have your commander, who will always be available to recast. You suffer very little early game pressure due to 40 life multiplayer, so having a slower start isn't an issue for ramp decks like it can be in other formats.

MLD is an essential balancing factor for all of that. If a ramp deck gets completely destroyed and the player then complains that he couldn't cast his spells, it doesn't mean MLD is obnoxious, it just means it worked as intended. Just like someone running a creature aggro list would often find himself never able to do any forward progress against a creatureless control list with tons of wraths and Abyss effects.

>>43601875
Is there a way to use MLD without shooting yourself in the foot as well?

Keeping some lands in your hand, for example. You'd be surprised how easily people fall into full topdeckmode from nuking their lands. Just prepare for your own nuke and you'll be fine. Playing basics before ruination would do fine for example.
>>43601875
I just find it atrocious that people complain about good disruption spells. It kind of perplexes me, that artifact removal is okay. So is creature and enchantment removal.

So, Edric, Claw of Progress. Mana elves in the deck, yes or no? Because I'm tempted to slap in Llanowar, Birds, Mystic, and Treespeaker. Mana in the early game, experience counters and kind of threats since you can throw all your +1/+1 counters onto them in the mid to late game.

Obviously.

All of them, like any green quick deck.

How do you tell a tumblrite with an obnoxious tryhard deck to stop coming to edh events without looking like the bad guy? everyone hates that cunt, and even more his know-it-all attitude. Most of us are suspicious that he stacks his deck, he only does the shuffle where you lay out your cards into 10 piles of 10 and then stack them all together. 'he' always seems to pull the right cards to combo off on turn 3-4.
Any time you confront the bastard, he starts yelling about how "he's a victim because he's transgender"

just play a bit more steady...look at your hand and form a game plan that involves holding some threats back, only fill your gy when you can access it immediately, etc. Save your threats for later in the game when a player might already be vulnerable.

Ghostly Prison is a white Propaganda reprint, why not do it again with an effect that actually makes sense for white

Which colorless walker is better? I like to run one of them in most of my decks as a catch all bomb that I can cast mid game.

Right now I feel Ugin is a bit better since he is better suited for getting my back in the game if I am behind. Karn for the most part is better at taking care of the biggest problem on the board once he hits however I don't find his plus that useful and if I ever did get to his ult I can't think of a time I would find it useful. Ugin on the other hand all his modes are useful and if I ult with him I am pretty close to winning the game afterwards.

>>43605859
>not wanting to literally reset time with Karn's ult

>>43605859
Depends on what colors you are and what you lack.

Hard to justify Karn over Ugin in monoworthless because white already has plenty of spot removal and is lacking in card draw. But monogreen could desperately use Karn.

>>43605859
Karn easily.

But Ugin is still fantastic.

Paying life is like lube. It makes everything else in your deck operate more smoothly. Every time they can't cast a spell on time because a land ETB tapped or they don't have the right colors, remind them it could have been avoided by paying a bit of life.

Example, I had a Magus of the Future in play, my opponent was winning on board, I draw and reveal Tragic Arrogance as the card on the top. Opponent knows shit is going down. I know he has Setessan Tactics in hand but it's locked down by my Alhammarret, High Arbiter. So I decide to attack with all my disposable creatures before casting Tragic Arrogance, which includes Alhammarret. I realize my mistake after declaring attackers. He can block the sphinx, kill it, then before moving to my main phase, Setessan Tactics killing the Magus of the Future, preventing me from casting Tragic Arrogance and leaving me dead on board. I ask him "Anything you want to do before my main phase?" while nodding towards the top of my deck, he doesn't see the play, I go on to win that game.

>>43607801
I never coach their plays, I let them make their own mistakes, but if it's a matter of not knowing or not understanding a rule I try to correct them. The urge to stay silent and win is strong, but then I think they won't learn otherwise and it's not like I'm actually losing anything

>>43605672
Who is this

>>43607900
If only there were some way to search a massive collection of information at the click of a button.

Or even if someone had already replied to that person with the info.

If you cast a creature, does the the summoning sickness prevent you from using it's tap ability?

>>43607944
Yes, unless the ability is worded as "Tap x creatures you control: " like it is on Captivating Vampire.

>>43607944
Yes

>>43607944
Yes, unless it has haste or you have a Thousand-Year Elixir out

>>43607944
Any ability with the tap symbol, yes.

If it's the ability of another creature with the cost "Tap an untapped creature you control:" then you may use it. For example Azami, Lady of Scrolls may tap a Laboratory Maniac you just played to draw a card.

It annoys me that we've got at least four people lurking and able to reply in minutes to any question yet we can't even get a conversation going in here.

What's your favorite monocolored commander?

>>43608022

I cannot ever convince myself to run monocolored commanders.

I always have to run white with something, or blue with something

>>43608022
Nobody cause I don't see a point of playing monocolor in EDH.

>>43607589

The biggest tiffs in have with rules are split second. People are adamant about it being 100% totally uncounterable and untouchable. This particularly happens in my Hanna deck because I've built around it.

>counterbalance out
>opponent K-grips it
>flip commanders sphere on top
>you can't because split second
>ask him where it says anything about triggers
Above also applies to Decree of Silence. The biggest salt comes from morphs.

>have Morph and Hanna with Decree in gy
>opponent Sudden Spoils me
>flip Stratus Dancer and counter it
>you can't do that because of split second
>oh yes I very much can

Morphs ARE NOT ACTIVATED ABILITIES AND DO NOT USE THE STACK WHEN BEING TURNED FACE UP. You pay morph cost and they have a trigger when they flip, and it does not use the stack, which means no bolting in response to a flip. I use Stratus Dancer and Spellcatcher as split second counter magic.

Know it. Use it. Prepare for it.

>>43608038
>>43608041
You're both shitters, where are my Ashling bros at?

>>43608058
If they wouldn't be so afraid of mentioning the stack there wouldn't be any issues. Keep the reminder text on split second the same and instead of "at any time" on morph make it "without using the stack."

>>43608022
Daretti, but I don't have any others.
I'm using a barely modified 2014 precon, I just took out some useless sorceries and instants that usually do more damage to me than anyone else.
I'm casual as fuck but it works against UG so fuck it.

>>43608022
>What's your favorite monocolored commander?

Purphoros. I hate you, I hate your fun, I hate the group's fun, everyone can just get burned out.

>>43607848
I will coach their plays when something happens like them being tapped out and running no blocks when I'm swinging for lethal. I'll just point out "This is lethal if you don't do something".

I play with some pretty big casuals and we usually get very drunk while playing, so it's generally fine to point things out like that.

>>43608022
>>43608061

Ashling (double damage/land D/hate everything) for Mono-Red and Odric (soldier tribal) for Mono-White

>>43608058
in their defense things everything else uses the stack so people are not prepared/aware of the few things that go against the norm

>Mono-White
Why would you let yourself suffer like that.

>>43608058
Had the same split second argument with willbender and sudden spoiling

>>43608146
I like having Odric available at all times, and the average CMC of the deck is 2.37, so it's not like I need a ton of mana to go off.

Plus, thanks to artifact subtheme it's relatively easy to get cards. Infiltration Lens, Rogue's Gloves, Feast and Famine take care of all the needs.

>>43608147
For me, it was with Ashnod's Altar. I was dominating fairly hard, had Mikaeus, Flayer of the Hatebound and a bunch of good sac fodder in play. I swing at a player, he casts Sudden Spoiling. I start saccing my shit to the altar, have to argue that it's a mana ability, tons of undying and flayer triggers go on the stack, I use them to kill the player casting Sudden Spoiling. Rest of the table goes "But Sudden Spoiling still resolves, right?"

I ended up letting it resolve even though the spell's owner had just died, they were too insistent on it.

>>43608164
That sounds like pure fun. You have a decklist handy?

Short list of ETB guys for Meren. What other neato ETB creatures fit in?

>>43608205
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/odric-soldierequip-edh/

There you go. Also, misremembered, average CMC is 3.21, not 2.37.

>>43608246
Bone Shredder? The demon that tutors?

>>43608246
Grave Titan

>>43608246
Disciple of Bolas

>Phyrexians got to Ezuri
>Jin-Gitaxias (presumably) compleated him
>UG Ezuri that grows the weaker Phyrexians and makes them better for the benefit of all Phryexia

I hope Khemba's next.

>>43600444
My friend just built a Kurkesh deck. Sweet tech includes:
>Pentavus. With enough mana it just grows and grows
>Throne of Geth + Astral Cornucopia. Takes a long time but you can get so much mana
>Myr Retriever + Codex Shredder. Sac Shredder, double the return ability, get back Retriever and something else. When Retriever dies, get back the Shredder

post actually fun cards

>>43608265
>>43608269
I meant to include these in addition to Shriekmaw, Phrexian Delver, Faceless Butcher, and Sepulchral Primordial.

Anyone get their own Meren lists together yet?

>>43608358
Love that card. I always go stupidly high and wind up paying 20 life for a few cards.

Tossup between Bosh, Godo and Sidisi

Godo is stupid fun for casual play, because you just go berserker mode with Voltron

Mono black is really oppressive, not surprised people don't want to play with it

You need artifacts to deal with enchants and artifacts of your opponents, but that doesn't really matter if none of them can put together an enchantment or artifact based victory in time before you crush them with mono black card draw and mana

I assume you run Hatred?

Can Beseech the Queen get lands like Sun Titan?

>>43608634
Yes.

>>43608512
I want to see more good black walkers in mtg.

We used to have a few, but now it's just Sorin. And while I love Sorin, it's not enough.

Hey guys, what was the biggest non lethal blow out you ever did you one person in a commander game?

Like whatever you did it didn't outright kill them, it just royally fucked them over.


>Another combo deck player mulls to 6 and keeps
>I kept my 7 card hand and went before him
>I drop swamp, Lotus Petal, Mana Crypt, Mana Vault, Sol ring

>I then spend all 7 mana hitting the other combo player with a mind twist for 6.
>This is before he even got a land drop

He was so mad, and I'll never see such a hand again. But it was worth it.

>>43608722
The two ob walkers are pretty ok.

>>43608634
Lands have a converted mana cost of 0, so yes.

>>43608784
I meant the actual character.

As in they are "black" mana users who are good guys.

Speaking of Ob I still want to know how he reignited his Spark.

>>43608722
Just wait for a black Elspeth planeswalker because resurrected from the dead for evil storyline.

>>43608022
Marton Stromgald
Interesting that a lot of people like running mono red.

>>43608847
Most likely has to do with Zendikar weakening.

He lost his spark because the wild mana was too much and he couldn't control it. Now that Zendikar is dieing he might have regained control.

Could also have to do with Nahri. But she's most likely a vampire now. And not even on Zendikar.
