I'm getting the BW precon so I can make BW Enchantress with Daxos, and I'm getting the UG precon so I can leave it as the precon so I have a lower power level deck to play with. I'm taking the Command Beacon out of it to use in Nin though. Nin needs all the shiniest things.

So I'm making a Hanna deck.
Decided that I'm going for the durdliest pillow fort / hate / value deck. Pretty much just want to sit there, fuck shit up, and make value until somehow I've accidentally won. What are some good cards for this? In a meta without combo decks.

Shit I've already got in there as examples:
peacekeeper
torpor orb
witchbane orb
elixir of immortality
teferi's care
>>
>>43630117
Mindslaver lock for when the game is down to 1v1.
>>
Mami-san what are you doin
>>
>>43630117
Screw witchbane orb. Get a Shell of the Last Kappa.
>>
>>43630117
>Accidentally won

That's the problem right there. Even with all that shit, if you don't have a winning game plan, someone WILL win through you and then you'll be playing archenemy next time.

I have a Hanna deck that I switched to UW control and its wonderful. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/hanna-ships-combo-and-control/

When is XMage finally going to get the new comms? I want to playtest my deck before spending cash on it.
>>
>>43630240
Trying to protect myself from stuff like tormod's crypt and bojuka bog. Hanna loves that graveyard.

>>43630163
I'll be including it when I get one.

>>43630249
I have a few things like mind control, treachery, bribery, clones, etc. I'll get there, it will just take a while.
How do you like leyline of anticipation? I'm considering including it.
One thing I have been debating with myself on. Which is better to include?
-swords to plowshares / path to exile
-oblivion ring / banishing light

Normally not even a debate, you should take the 1-cost instants. But in my deck, the enchantments "combo" with claws of gix and teferi's care. After they've exiled something, I can grab it back with Hanna and keep exiling permanents every turn. More durdly advantage.

>>43630433
Leyline is love. That being said, I have thought about cutting it in the past. However, it's either bait for removal, or it lets me flash in a win condition eot. For those reasons, it stays.

As for the removals, I don't think mine is up to date (I might fix that after work actually).

The truth of the matter is that in 90% of situations, Swords/Path will be better than O-ring and friends because they're a 1 mana instant that permanently removes a problem. Ring has the added benefit of hitting non creatures and being recurable with Hanna, which can't be ignored. This is by I run Detention Sphere. Multiple nonland targets and comes back with the commander and Sun Titan. My most recent slot was making room for Stasis Snare because while it can only hit creatures, it's an enchantment with flash, which puts it well into the realm of playable in Hanna control. I really want to use Aligned Headron Network, but it's too narrow for the mana investment.

I've put a lot of tuning into my deck, and my answer is use both. Even without Gix, having repeatable removal is never bad, and worst case scenario, you bump a commander back to the command zone. Just be careful because some o-ring effects (funny enough, not actually o-ring) will pull commanders back from the command zone of they never left when the ring dies.

Ok, so how do I make her work?
Her playstyle seems like Memnarch's, but are there any special cards, other than Leyline of Singularity, that could help her case out? Like, anything that could alter their type to Legendary Creature?

I need some suggestions for my Simic deck. I had a vorel deck and then bought the simic one today to try and make +1/+1 counters.deck work just because I love counters and the mad scientist vibe of simic. Anyway, the issue I have is that my pieces are really vulnerable to removal. My deck has to have pieces out and if my board is running it's pretty easy to fuck with. Obvious answer is counterspells and the like, and I'm probably gonna get an aspect of endurance, but is there anything else that does pretty well at protecting my guys?

Orb or Gryph is good, but I like Containment Priest and Hallowed Moonlight, particularly the latter because it cantrips and they can't remove it. Otherwise, just exile Purph. It's obviously not the commander, or snipe DEN while Soulbound is on the stack.

You need an instant speed effect.

1) Put exile effects on the stack.

no. removing the last counter doesn't cause the enchantment to be sacrificed. it's only on your upkeep when the permanent has no fading counters to be removed. throw in an auratog and we might have something though.
>>
>>43634389
But that doesn't work.
>>
>>43634348
You need a sacrifice effect since Fading does not send the permanent to the GY until a fading counter cannot be removed, not when the last fading counter is removed.

>>43634389
To be fair you do need Resonator to be able to stack the flicker effects the way you need to. But like a billion things combo with Brago and Resonator.

>>43635344
You are wasting a card. Just forcing everyone to play revealed is a worthless effect because it does nothing. Also your games will take 10x as long because there is so much additional revealed information that everyone will have to pore over everyone else's hand before making a move in fear of being perceived to have made a stupid play based on the information they knew.

In other words, absolutely not worth it. It slows the game down and is actually not helpful. Given that, the flavor text is quite appropriate.

>Also your games will take 10x as long because there is so much additional revealed information

That was one problem I thought could happen.
The other is that it might even be helpful to my opponents. If somebody has no threats in hand, people will leave them alone. However, because my hand is always hidden, people will always see me as a threat.

Of course legend isn't a creature type. Shapesharer can turn shapeshifters into copies of other creatures though. So you use Unnatural Selection to turn a creature into a shapeshifter, and then turn it into a copy of a legend to steal it.

You'll probably need that leyline that stops the legend rule for this to work.

I love Jeleva and made her my commander with the Mind Seize 2013 commander deck.

Which cards should i be getting to abuse her and do some fun sick combos involving free casts and suchs.

I know about using spell cloners to copy the free spells for massive effects, what else should i be aiming to get?

Also how does Jeleva work with creature clones like Clever Impersonator? Does the Clever impersonator trigger as Jeleva and exiles for 4? or does he exile for 3 which is his manacost, also can i bounce Jeleva back to my hand while she is on the stack to avoid her dying as the clone hits the field?

What about Rite of Replication, how does Jeleva work with it? Ive seen a lot of decks that have this card but i dont understand why.

Clever impersonator exiles cards based on what you used to cast it, not what you used to cast jeleva.

Aren't there a couple auras that give pro-creatures? That'll do the trick.

If we had a stable meta we could have fun playing with $100 or sub $100 decks, and it is not unreasonable to resent the pay2win idiot who instigates an arms race by being lax with his money and driving the average price of the meta upward
It's still cheap compared to several other pastimes, so what do I care, but it's not an unreasonable thing to be flustered about, losing money unnecessarily

does protection from creatures stop omnaths ability though?
>>
>>43641329
if i give her protection from red OR green, will that stop them? IE give her something that gives pf red, will the green still make it hurt?
>>
>>43641404

The tokens are RED/Green, so that will stop them. They're multicolored tokens

>>43640239
It also costs 3, meaning I have to hold up 3 mana more often. Also, no one respects the lone Swamp as a threat they need to consider.

Is anyone able to help on a ruling? I have two main decks, a Purphoros artifact spammer and a Kruphix eldrazi dumper, but due to my newness, I've encountered some difficult situations.

1) Assuming Purphoros is on the battlefield, does Warden of the Wall http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=247130 cause purpheros' ability to proc every opponent's turn? I think it does, because it enters the battlefield as an artifact, but becomes a creature, thus a creature that wasn't on the battlefield before has entered the battlefield. If purpheros' text said each time you cast a creature spell I'd feel differently, but it says "Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control" and I think the warden of the wall counts as a creature entering under your control, then leaving on your turn.

2)The other question I have is a little more complex. Assuming I have Artisan of Forms http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=373742 in my graveyard, if I cast Artisan of Kozilek http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=193429 does the Artisan of Froms heroic proc? I don't think it does because the target creature bonus effect would fizzle since it's in the graveyard, but since it enters the battlefield in the same statement that it was targeted, it might work.

Any thoughts?
>>
>>43641342
Omnath is the one that deals the damage and Omnath is a creature, so yes.
>>43641597
Well, it's not the tokens that deal the damage, but since Omnath is red and green either will work just fine.
>>
>>43641737
no and no
>>
>>43641737
1) No. It's becoming a creature during each opponent's turn but it's not entering the battlefield again. Warden of the Wall's ability never causes it to leave the battlefield.
2) No. Heroic only triggers when a spell targets the creature. Artisan of Kozilek is targeting it with an ability, not a spell.
>>
>>43641797
2) Isn't Kozilek's ability the result of a creature spell because the ability doesn't have a cost associated with it, or does it chain like (creature spell cast ----> ability activates due to conditions). This always has confused me, particularly with counters.

Huh. That's a really odd justification for deleting official forums.
>>43641866
The ability is the result of a creature spell, yes, but an ability is an ability, not a spell.
On top of that, Heroic only works while the creature is on the battlefield.
>>
>>43641866
Wait, crap, I misunderstood your post and completely missed your point with my last post.
I think.
It works like you think. You cast Artisan of Kozilek. Because you did this, its triggered ability goes off and thus goes on the stack on top of Artisan. So you're looking at:
Artisan of Kozilek trigger
Artisan of Kozilek creature spell
Because the stack resolves from top to bottom, the triggered ability will happen first and then Artisan of Kozilek will enter the battlefield. Assuming nobody else does anything, that is.
Counters work a similar way. The counterspell is higher on the stack than the spell it's trying to counter, so the counterspell will resolve first and throw that targeted spell into the graveyard.
>>
>>43641927
OH I get it now. The chain would go (cast creature spell ----> ability activates due to conditions ----> artisan's ability fizzles because requirements were not met ---> art). Now just for my personal knowledge, when the artisan of kosilek is cast, I can plasm capture it before the ability activates because casting the creature spell was the first thing in sequence?

>>43641980
okay cool, it is the way I thought it was, thanks anon, that was super helpful.
>>
>>43641737
No. A permanent changing permanent types does not trigger any enter the battlefield effects.

No. Unless an ability says otherwise, abilities on work while the permanent is on the battlefield.

>>43640368
Here, take a look at mine:

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/jelevas-spiraling-torment/

Time magic is generally used with her, some people like to use extra combats, but I don't because the benefit is marginal compared to extra turns. Time Stretch, Time Warp, and Beacon of Tomorrows are your best bets because they don't exile themselves. Feel free to use more if you want, though. Fork effects are never a bad idea, either. I use Twin Cast, Reiterate, and Reverberate plus Chandra since she'll copy what I cast with Jeleva for "free" which is nice. The rest of my deck is Modal bounce control, so it's a little different than most Jeleva decks I've seen. The core time magic is there, though.

As the others have said, clones like Clever Impersonator will trigger as a copy of Jeleva and exile whatever you paid to cast the clone. Clone and Impersonator would exile 4 assuming that's what you paid for them. Note that if you cast Jeleva again, the clone would go away and you would not be able to cast the cards exiled by the clone, only the new Jeleva. As for tokens like Rite, they technically trigger when they come into play, except you paid 0 and thus will exile 0 cards.

People include Rite of Replication for the same reason they include Army of the Damned. It's a big splashy spell that can do a ton of work. In this case, it's not to copy Jeleva, but some other thing on the table. I don't use them because I want to rely on my opponent as little as possible, and my creature selection is extremely limited. This way, I am completely self sufficient, but can totally abuse something of my opponent's if I want. Too many people who make clone.dec flop because their opponents hit a dry spot, so they themselves hit a dry spot.

Hope it helps.

>>43642017
>artisan's ability fizzles because requirements were not met
If there are no creatures in your graveyard, then yeah, that's what happens. If you want to revive Artisan of Forms, then that'll happen before Artisan of Kozilek enters the battlefield.
>Plasm Capture
Heck, you can Plasm Capture that thing at any point before it resolves. If you're trying to do this as a cute way to use its trigger to revive itself, that won't work, though. The trigger enters the stack as soon as you cast Artisan of Kozilek and as soon as that happens you have to decide on the target creature card in your graveyard. After that, you're free to cast Plasm Capture.
Or you can let the ability resolve to revive a creature and then Plasm Capture Artisan of Kozilek.
Or you could throw another thirty things on the stack and at any point before or between the individual resolutions of those thirty things you can cast Plasm Capture on Artisan of Kozilek.

On a bit of an aside, how does a mana curve work when deck constructing? I understand that the curve part is how much mana the average thing in your deck costs to play, but I don't understand how to proportionately add lands based on your curve. For edh I usually assume 40 lands, plus or minus depending on how many other mana pumps I have. Is there an easy calculation?

daily reminder that blue is overpowered
daily reminder that blue can answer anything
daily reminder that every other color is severly limited in what they can answer because of the "color pie"
>>
>>43642278
>Is there an easy calculation?
If there is, I don't know it.
A general rule is to start with 2/5 of your deck as land. Add or remove as necessary depending on how many mana dork/rocks you're running and how many expensive things you put in. Any further than that and I'm clueless.

Use cards like Hatred, necropotence, pestilence, and everything else in black that sucks out your own life to do stuff. Throw in exanguinate, drain life, and other vampire effects to keep yourself alive at the expense of others. Sac engines like bloodghast, the skeleton you can play from your gy, and so on for constant pain and recursion. Or, just kill yourself, idk.

Torpor Orb, Platinum Angel, bait, etc.

Blue red black artifact deck.
Pack it with blue spells that mill yourself, black spells that hurt you, and red spells that burn you.
Throw in all the cards with Sad flavor. Feeldon, Obliterate, Wandering Ones.
Use the artifacts that you sacrifice to do damage (throwing knife, boomerang) and target yourself or your own creatures.

How is his Returned version? B/W enchantment dickery sounds kinda fun...
>>
>>43644036

It sounds fun because it's BW goodstuff, and almost every other BW commander will do it better in execution than Daxos. If your meta is more casually tuned and slow, then go for it, but if anyone is actually trying to win with any amount of speed and/or plays any amount of control, don't bother.

Bullshit. BW is one of the worst combinations as far as generals go. Teysa 1.0 and Karlov are practically the only playable ones.

Anything I should add?
>>
>>43644440

And Daxos flies in as yet another shitty commander. What's your point? Every other BW commander will outperform Dax for the time and mana investment with the exception of maybe Triad. Then again, Triad might actually be able to do something relevant before Daxos does, so there's that.

tldr Dax a shit
>>
>>43644440
>Karlov
>Playable

Nigger no. He's fine in your 99 but god damn he's pretty bad as a commander. Daxos can just sit there and vomit out huge dudes. You only have to cast a few enchantments and suddenly you're paying 3 mana for 7/7 dudes at instant speed.
>>
>>43644641

>A few enchantments
>7/7s

That's an entire hand's worth of enchantments cast WITH DAXOS ON THE TABLE to get to that point. If you're only casting 3cmc enchantments, that's 21 mana, plus 7 cards, plus the 3 mana to cast Daxos before you even get any fucking value out him. THEN you have to pay MORE mana get some vanilla beaters. You're more likely to win with the enchantments you've cast than you are with anything remotely involving Daxos, and at that point.
