EDH/Commander General

>>47917785
Looking to build a new commander deck.
Omnath or Gitrog? Rakdos is also an option

>>47917844
Surely you can find a more interesting general than that.

But if I were to choose from what you gave me, I'd do toad.

But thanks, was really stuck between the two. If it helps any, I'm sorta new to EDH and mainly like playing Gruul or mono green mashy decks.

Don't build Rakdos. That goes for both Rakdos, lord of Riots, and the color combination in general. Black/red needs a third color to be good because they have no way to play around the fifty or so commonly played enchantments that shut down black or red spells.

Jund is fantastic. Grixis is really good. Even Mardu can work pretty well. Rakdos just doesn't have the tools to succeed. Grenzo is your best bet if you are dead set on playing Rakdos.

>>47918469

Enchantments such as?

>>47917785
So I want to make an Eldrazi deck with some of the new creatures like pic related, but I just feel like the deck lacks real teeth. Anyone got any thoughts, maybe generals that are good for such a deck. I've been thinking mostly Temur looking at Riku and Maelstrom Wanderer.

>>47918930
Not that guy but I play B/R. Glare of Subdual will make you want to drink paint.
Aura shards is pretty bad too. Asceticism, earthcraft, rhystic study, dovescape off the top of my head.

>>47918934
You want Animar, and focus on the Eldrazi that actually feel like Eldrazi. Gravity Negator looks cool and so do a lot of the other new arts, but like you said, no teeth.

>>47919016

Seems like you can solve a lot of those problem enchantment by killing their creatures, which is no problem for RB.

>Glare of Subdual will make you want to drink paint.
Kill their creatures
>Aura shards is pretty bad too
Torpor orb if it's that much of problem
>Asceticism
Black Suns and Edicts care because?
>earthcraft

>rhystic study
You're not the only player getting upset by it. Pay the 1
>dovescape
Purphuros, Blood Artist, Zalaport Cutthroat, ect

Rakdos get Ulamog out pretty easily

>>47917844
go rakdos homes, but don't fall in to the trap that makes you run shitty 1/1 unblockables, instead play for value with efficient creatures like obliterator and good overall cards like bitterblossom. damage will happen, you will be able to cast him often enough with shit that does damage and you will get value in the course of the game, rakdos is no min-max commander, he's just the guy that let's you get ahead incidentally and produces mad value.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/budget-artifact-fun/

Opinions on this Bosh build? Any cheap-ish combos worth including? Anything that could work better than some of the cards I included? I'd like to keep it under 100, but if I go up to 150, I'm fine.

>>47918290
>tfw he's not a Berserker
Look at that art and tell me Thrax doesn't look like he listens to Holy Terror while skullfucking his enemies

>>47919200
Illusionist's Bracers

I would slot a Daretti somewhere in there too if you have one

>>47919200
>Myr Welder
Do you have any particular combos in mind with it? It's probably not great just as a value play especially since you want to keep artifacts in your gy to recur.


>Expedition Map
You don't have any particularly powerful lands to tutor, what do you usually get?

>>47918930
Rest in Peace shuts down most of the synergy that black/red has. You might not notice it when you run a three-color deck, but if you try to do something of meaningful impact with black or red, you have to either pay 5+ mana or you have to use the graveyard.

>>47919237
Oh shit, that's a good idea. I'll see if I can find a Daretti for cheap for friends.

>>47919303
Point taken, I'll probably swap those out for the other anon's decision, I was flopping around just thinking, 'oh, fuck, what are some good artifacts'.

>>47919330

Oh I know what RiP does to BR. Hell, one of my favorite decks was Liliana, which is mono black. However, you have to be prepared to lose the GY, and if RiP is common place (a lot of metas don't use it because they like their own GY too much), then you should have an answer ready.

Black is more than capable of producing lots of mana, so things like All is Dust, O-Stone, Perilous Vault, Disk, Karn, Ugin, Scour from Existence, both Ulamogs (especially for Rakdos) ect are not out of reach.

>>47919170

>Kill their creatures

This doesn't work in practice. Loading your deck with terminates and board wipes is an enormous disadvantage against decks that can populate the board efficiently. Furthermore, you blow a board wipe on their tokens and small value creatures. They still have all of their enchantments and even the most pitiful token producer becomes a threat.

The only thing that comes close to being efficient enough is loading your deck with gravepacts, but like any good black or red card, it is turned off by rest in peace.

Good luck getting to 10 mana against colors that have better aggressive options and cards you can't interact with.

>>47919566

Another thing to consider is that if these enchantments are so strong and bothersome, there are other players at the table who probably don't like it either. What sensible player will let Earthcraft sit on the table if they can get rid of it?

Hell, if you're really worried, run Praetor's Grasp and/or Sadistic Sacrament and nip the problem in the bud early.

I lost that game to "lol its late game so you die to Jarad" but it was worth it.

>>47918469
Rakdos, Lord of Riots is so much fun though. You play universal burn spells and cast giant creatures.

>>47919996
Considering the first Assassins were known for public, in-broad-daylight, attacks, maybe Thrax is the sort that just violently pushes through and kills his target?

>>47918269
wouldn't that be Mizzix?

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/zo-zu-land-hate-edh/

>>47920127

Mizzix is a really strong storm general, melek is also good, not as good as mizzix but very good

Grixis is the best storm color combo, but unfortunately there's not a perfect commander for the job, an ideal grixis storm deck never casts it's commander and that's unfortunate

I made a red black storm deck once, no blue, it was fine but it had the same problem of not having a commander worth casting

I imagine blue black storm is possible too but missing out on red rituals and past in flames is tough

>>47920345
At least he didnt keep you around forever trying to figure out what to do. I stupidly played a warp world the same day a new guy was introduced to our playgroup. Took him a half hour to figure out his triggers.

Well lads I've decided to do something new and different, and with permission from my playgroup I'm gonna be making Glint-Eye Nephilim voltron only all the voltron comes from combat tricks

I've already got an idea in mind since it's already got built in "Draw THAT (!!!) many cards" when it deals combat damage so I'm thinking a bunch of low CMC pump and evasion spells with the ability to get them back with green and U/R recursion

>Distortion Strike + Giant Growth
>Slip through Space + Might of Oaks
>Colossal Might + Shadow Rift
>Rancor + Reckless Charge

Any neat or powerful instant combat tricks or combos you could recommend? I've got 4/5 the color pie so you never know what that freaky one eyed thing is gonna do. Since I don't need many card draw spells I can stuff lots of them in there.

I traded some mono black staples I had from a deck I took apart for a jace mind sculptor for some reason. Wasn't going to using them. What kind of deck should I start building with him in mind, don't play much blue

Fuck you guys and fuck commander.

My friend used to love MTG. He would draft standard, he had a couple modern decks, we traded and built janky combo kitchen table decks, but now he hates it. He hates everything magic related. Why? Because now he only plays EDH.

Eldritch Moon spoilers come out, all he has to say is "Its garbage shit, no good commanders". Eternal Masters get spoiled, "Muh commanders". Hey anon, want to play anything else? "ugh, lets just play commander."

Jesus christ, enough is enough already. He wont be satisfied until he buys and builds EVERY single EDH deck POSSIBLE. He sinks EVERY paycheck into finishing another EDH deck. Two of his friends enable his habit but, damn, I just can't keep up anymore. Its not fun netdecking, buying, playing, rebuilding, rinsing and repeating over and over. He doesn't even seem happy anymore, he just mindlessly plays. He looks more and more clinically depressed every day.

I dont even know why im posting this here, is there something I can do? Should I just suck it up and play with him? Should I tell him i'm burnt out? We used to be best friends but now I feel like if I told him I was taking a break he'd stop talking to me all together. Has this happened to anyone else? God damn, how did this happen?

>>47921461

>draft standard

What?

Anyway magic can be addictive, if he has a money spending problem, you should tell him you're worried

If you think he doesn't enjoy magic anymore, talk to him

Otherwise you should shut the fuck up and play

Commanders I'm seeing so far that could be good/interesting jenara, rafiq and jhoira. Thoughts? Jhoria seems the most fun, but I imagine she would get stale the fastest since I imagine she pretty much plays the same every game

>>47920432
Needs some draw ability and some more x spells. Also a lifelink equipment might be good on the commander since he deals the damage when a land comes in. Otherwise I think it looks pretty annoying to play against, and I wouldn't want to be your friend.

>>47918209
>no scar
>attacking alone
Shit art desu

>>47917785
Currently running Prossh in Jund, but Kresh is just so great. I fear, I won't get the fodder I need with him as commander though.

So, I had a really grindy Liliana discard deck together that was just really efficient at everything it did, but I took it apart because it wasn't fun to play against apparently. However, with the new set, I kinda want to put it back together. I'm torn because I also have Gisa, which I fucking love.

Is it wrong to have 2 mobo black decks? Is is wrong to also rebuild a deck after you said you would build different decks for awhile?

Does anybody know if this is a good competitive deck to start commander with? Or is competitive stuff frowned upon? I've always been a spike and I want to show up at my LGS on commandrr nights them not expecting it.

>>47918245

You're the pleb here, anon. I only play EDH now because legacy and vintage are a trillion dollars and every other format has Mark Rosewater's fat jewish cock in it.

Just play EDH. Drafting is a scam and modern is a ban list treadmill.

>>47922954
was forced into edh by my meta of "red deck wins" and other varients of the like in kitchen table magic

>>47922954
When you say you play EDH, you mean you have a low powered EDH deck. By that logic, you could just make a low powered legacy deck. An EDH deck that's the equivalent power level of a good legacy deck costs about the same as a legacy deck, so your argument is moot because you're equating arbitrary EDH deck power levels to "legacy".

which mono black commander do i build /edhg/?

>>47923061
That's not even remotely true at all. Especially considering that EDH is intentionally played as a multiplayer format. You can have a high powered EDH deck without spending nearly as much money as you'd need to for Legacy.

>>47923064
I also wanna build mono b

>>47923064
Iname, Death Aspect

>>47923074
You can have a high powered legacy deck without spending all that much money too. Cut the red out of Miracles, $300 saved. Cut down to 1 Tundra, $600 saved. Some decks only run 3 Force of Will, $100 saved. Hell if you don't mind taking 2 damage, cut the other Tundra and save another $200. It's like that what you consider to be a power EDH deck isn't really that powerful. Before I dumped a chunk of value from my collection, I could play 1v3 games with Nin the Pain Artist and win. Literally Countertopping an entire table to pieces because fetchlands and Scroll Rack put hella work in.

>>47923109
I ran Hanna countertop, and it was absolutely wonderful.

>>47923091
Literally why? It's so shit as a commander.

I tried out two new decks last night.

Sunastian Falconer (GR): Old frames only. Deck focused on huge aggro and mass land destruction. Winter Orb annoyed people at first, but not as much as the player with Consecrated Sphinx and "lol good stuff" UGR...eventually they realized it was the only thing keeping him in check. Dissappointed that I didn't get to play my favorite Mungha Wurm.

Sedris, Traitor King (UBR): Flashback tribal. A deck I wanted to build just to use Catalyst Stone and Song of Blood. Was fun, but needs more control elements, artifact destruction, and black creatures that drain life on ETB.

>>47923064

I have two mono B decks that are quite different:

Volrath: Discard random 8+ cost creatures, smash face. That fail? Then reanimate said creatures. You get to play random jank like Teeka's Dragon.

Endrek Sahr: Insane synergies, it's a token sacrifice factory. Made up of hundreds of mini-combos. And it's so flavorful to play Thrull Retainer on Endrek to protect him.

>>47920808
Mishra is okay in Grixis, but not necessary.

I've grown bored of my monoblack goodstuffcoffers.dec, and wanted to change it up. I was thinking of building a token centric strategy, and which is more fun; ghoulcaller gisa or endrek sahr?

>>47923695
Skittles aggro

>>47923695
Endrek is more combo-y, as there's no limit to how many times you can use the ability on your turn.

Gisa's more beatdown, as the tokens are larger and you have less restrictions on how strong your creatures can be.

Personally, I prefer Endrek for his strong flavor.

You're already doing it wrong.

>>47923064
I just built Endrek Sahr and the deck is TONS of fun, and it's actually really good. I think it's the first time I've built a deck that successfully walks the line of being fun for everyone at the table and actually good and capable of going off and winning.

>>47921322
The "we thought Prodigal Sorcerer was too strong and decided to tone it down" legend.

EDH stops being fun when you realise that some cards are legitimate must includes if you want your deck to be any good. Oracle of Mul Daya goes in every green deck, Glen Elendra Archmage goes in every blue deck.

>>47924390
endrek inspired me to build an ayli deck

>>47924476
not really, sometimes its better to just run sakura tribe elder instead of oracle

>>47924496
Boulderhead isn't even close to the power level of Oracle in a format like EDH. Sure there's reasons to run Boulderhead like if you're playing Meren, but Oracle should always be in that deck anyway.

>>47924521
Or just run Exploration, comes down earlier and is less fragile.

Ok lads I want to build another commander deck but can't decide which, here's my unused legendaries

>Mina and Denn Wildborn
>Exava, Rakdos Bloodwitch
>Tajic, Blade of the Legion
>Athreos, God of Passage
>Brimaz, King of Oreskos
>Isperia the Inscrutable
>Kozilek, thd Great Distortion

>>47924591
Doesn't generate card advantage.

>>47924173

>>47924727
Perhaps I worded my answer wrong. Ok, how about "Exploration is a bad card because having 4 land down by turn 2 then proceeding to draw 1 card per turn doesn't get you anywhere."?

>>47922154
if you can get it for less than $400 or so then you'll be able to at least make some money by selling it as singles but you probably shouldn't buy it

>>47924813
If you're at 4 lands turn 2 and you don't have anything that can help you generate card advantage by then, you built your deck wrong.

so when will vorinclex be banned? or should every deck run seedborne muse to counter it?

Not sure if heres good but my local scenes are doing Pauper Edh and I have no clue whats a competitive deck to build for it, any suggestions?

>>47924935
I'd rather just play Oracle and have both in one package. Fast mana doesn't mean as much in this format.

>>47924988
>doesnt matter

I like her but then again I really like cards like Blind Obedience and Imposing Sovereign

Would you consider it rude for someone to make a deck with a commander you already run?

http://www.strawpoll.me/10487504/r

>>47924091
So do I. A good portion of my friends stopped playing 60 card formats or MTG altogether. Now all we play is EDH. Which, don't get me wrong, is still entertaining, but I miss playing with certain people and miss building decks with up to 4 copies of cards.

>>47924625
If I had to pick from that list, I'd make a creature-heavy Athreos deck. Lots of Shadowborn Apostles.

>Using boardwipes at all

Not being able to go with and combat the flow of the board is a definitive way to show you suck

>>47926414
not using efficient answers and contingency plans like boardwipes is a definitive way to show you suck

>>47925605
Chandra's Ignition is the best wipe. Use it on something with deathtouch and lifelink, you'll see

>>47925605
I only have one, but it's Myojin and I play Sisay, so it's all good.

>>47926414
im sure your meta is nice and rich with honorable duels to the death, but boardwipes keep people from getting too out of hand.

>>47926470
holy fuck, my dick is hard as diamonds thinking about it

>>47926462
>All boardwipes are answers

Nah I'm pretty sure you suck and now you're an idiot.

>>47926414
in my group there is one player who literally casts board wipes the moment any one player get the advantage.


I really wish they had a bit more targeted removal

>>47926495
It's the best. I did it once and had people trying to argue that deathtouch only applies to combat damage. I told them to read the reminder text on the Typhoid Rats that was about to die as a result of damage being dealt by Godo equipped with a Basilisk Collar

>>47925843
I have a Hokori deck I'm working n and she's definitely going in. My group is going to despise me and I can't wait

>>47926535
So he's a retard, he'll never change out of it. Start playing blue with every counter ever made

>>47918469
Rakdos is fun tho. You just gotta have enablers that don't suck. Like Pilgrim's Eye, Pestilence, Triskaidekaphobia, Sin Prodder. And deathtouch equipments for your pingers like Basilisk's collars so they become assassins. It's janky as hell, but it's a very entertaining and unorthodox way to get to cast yuge creatures.

>>47926701
Rakdos is a combo deck that relies on 1) landing Rakdos, and 2) landing damage then spaffing fat fucks your opponent can't answer. If Rakdos is countered or removed, you've lost. If he hits, you've probably won. I took mine apart because it was just miserable to play either way. Countless games of people scooping because they can't cast Supreme Verdict in the face of Void Winnower, or of me sat there waiting to be put out of my misery because Rakdos costs 8 and I don't have any way of enabling him anyway. It got boring.

Does Blind Seer have the potential to be crazy strong, or am I deluding myself?

>>47926869
But that's what makes him so fun

>>47926414

Explain further

Obviously you're retarded but there are different kinds of retarded and I'd like to know just what kind of retard you are

>>47926921
I'm afraid the things that make him boring can't be the things that make him fun. You might think it's hilarious casting Kozilek, Ulamog, Void Winnower, and It That Betrays on turn 4 the first time, but all you did was put Splinter Twin on a Deceiver Exarch.

>>47926905

Blind seer does not have the potential to be crazy strong

You could make a really strong mono blue deck and just never cast blind seer

You could also fill your deck with all the Jank color related combos you can and make blind seer as good as possible, that deck would be utter shit though and would never ever ever win a single game

>>47926948
>boring
Just switch up decks then. Not every EDH deck will be 100% fun to play all the time. I like magic because I can do hilariously crazy shit with card combos, it's that simple. If I get bored I switch it up. That's what other decks are for.

hey what is the best boros commander :)
i want to make soldiers :)

Question, is it considered a dick move to make a deck that slows the game down to a crawl?

>>47927141
Anything that takes brainpower or a remotely competent deck to break through is generally considered a dick move.

>>47927124
Boros isn't very good, anon

But I'd vouch for Iroas or Aurelia

>>47926969
This is correct. I have one and while it's fun to play, it is undeniably bad. He's fun to mess around with in a low powered game though.

With Dack's emblem, he can get shit done. There are better options, though.

>>47927205
Blind Seer has literally zero synergy with Dack Fayden's emblem. There are very few spells worth running that do. Cyclonic Rift is the best one because you gain control of the permanent, then Rift fizzles because it has an illegal target. The problem being that I'd rather just Rift the table.

>>47927205

You're wrong, Dack emblem is spells only, not abilities

Also you can't run Dack fayden in a blind seer commander deck

Also Dack fayden's ultimate is shit and basically never worth getting to that high loyalty when you could be using his -2 anyway

>>47926470
I have a friend who plays chandras ignition in his brion deck. Its fucking digusting.

>>47917785

Depends on the commander...if it's something popular like Maelstrom Wandered or Zedruu, you can't really claim it. But if it's something obscure like Gerrard Capeshan, you might have merit.

>>47928248
Oh so we're talking about high powered decks then? I wouldn't be playing Rakdos if that were the case.

>>47928279
I'm just saying rakdos throwing eldrazi at people is fine and fun, there is a lot worse things that can be done and lots to counter them so they dont just win the game. Honestly master of cruelties or whatever that deathtouch that sets an opponents life to 1 when it hits is a lot worse to see in a rakdos deck than a lot of eldrazi.

How do you guys feel about devouring greed? I'm making BW Ayli token spam and board wipes, and it looks pretty spicy with the new teysa, triplicate spirits and spectral procession, but is it too janked to be worth it?

>>47928369

It's just not worth the number of spirits sacrificed

If you have infinite spirits (like with old Teysa maybe) it could be okay to one shot kill one person

But other than that it's shit

>>47928459
Thanks! I'll cut it, also how many board wipes are too many? I have 4 at the moment, not including deatgbringer regent and magister of worth.

>>47928524

Youll only know you have too many board wipes by playing the deck

Do you find yourself regularly drawing board wipes when they aren't helpful? If so you might have too many

Otherwise I wouldn't worry about having too many

>>47928633
I'm more a fan of mono green Omnath than angry Omnath. All in all though, my favorite Gruul commander would have to be Xenagod.

>>47928633
Angry omnath is amazing, the bolts are dangerous and your opponents will fear them. There is also embermaw hellion which gives you 1 more damage per bolt. Put that all together with sac outlets and you will have people making bad plays just to survive.

Nah, he works like oona queen of the fae, he turns infinite mana into victory

You might think infinite mana is already victory but you still need a way to spend it, having that in your command zone is effective because only something like meddling Mage will stop it, even if they kill it a hundred times you can recast it

FRF Atarka is my favorite Gruul commander. My friend and I ran a 2HG team as Zirilan and Atarka one night and went fucking berserk on everyone

>>47929497
Well if you want your deck to be the best it can be, you just fill it full of ramp, draw, and infinite combos. Then when you're infinite, you cast Tasigur, Blue Sun someone to death, activate Tasigur, Blue Sun someone to death, activate Tasigur, and Blue Sun the last player to death.

Although I play him in a reanimator build, most builds want you to reach infinite mana, draw your deck with Tassy, and then play something like Villanous Wealth or Blue Sun's Zenith to finish everyone off.

That actually seems to be how most UB and UBx commanders work due to being in tutor colors.

In the last six games I've played, I've literally died to my own commander every time, whether thats playing Kresh, Zurgo, Kaleme or Isamaru

I run boots, but Arcane Lighthouse is a staple in every deck

>>47930440
Mah niggah!

And I'm not even kidding!

Also Illuminati confirmed

>>47930510
homeward path
some of those were white so exile and return under its owners control spells and stuff like eldrazi displacer are good.
for the red ones drop some mind control type spells that grant haste and throw your commander on a suicide trade against another opponent, if you politic it right they'll trade it and you get your commander back in the command zone.

>>47923695
>Endrek Sahr
>Assault Suit

>>47930510

I am thinking of running some targeted land removal to stop removing hexproof.

You could try homeward path, Vows, assault suit.

>>47930577
>>47930611

I'm running path, but it either gets blown up, tapped down or I just get hit with subsequent control effects

Vows are a good idea, though

>>47930596
Set up an unresolvable infinite loop and make the game a draw?

>>47930775
Nah, just sac enough Thrulls to stop the ability from retriggering, but also keep your commander.

>>47930510
Have you tried not using a stompy commander or just git gud? I've had my mimeoplasm stolen countless time but never once let it kill me

>>47930646
If its gets tapped down, just tap it in response. They can't keep it tapped forever.

>>47929793
>ignore this effect if that player controls no lands

I'm so lost on some of the old wordings. Like, what fucking would get confused by a Magic card telling them to sac a land when they have no lands. Would they assume the lose the game?

>>47930172
>A commander with an ability that only fires once during your end step

seems fine

>>47930999
No it just wouldn't trigger

Don't even worry about the old wordings, they've cleared a lot of them up, unless it's something like Animate Dead

>>47930440
>>47930541

How come no1 made an Illuminati themed deck after her? Just for the giggles oc

>>47931133
Why don't you be the first to make one?

>>47930510
Assault Suit give you protection even if they steal it. Those enchantments that buffs creatures and prevent them from attacking you if you're really paranoid

>>47931122
It just boggles my mind that they needed to clarify to ignore the effect if you can't fulfill it. Same with all the discard stuff that says to ignore it if the target has no cards in hand.

>>47931122
It does trigger, it resolves, and it does nothing, because they have nothing to sacrifice.

>>47931494

Best Elf ball commander? I'd use nath but the discard engine requires more effort than it worth

OG Ezuri and Freyalise are the typical Elfball commanders.

>>47931164
Not gonna lie anon, I tried but not only the cards look underwhelming but I also ran out of ideas!

triangle of war,

goblin secret agent,
primeval light,
ur-golem's eye,
pentagram of the ages,
order of the sacred bell,
one dozen eyes,
Isao, enlightened bushi
Primal order
Spectral searchlight
Pyramids
Ruination
Thousand year elixir
Mind's eye
Eyeless watcher
Eyes of. the wisent
Gods' Eye, Gate to the Reikai
Hammerheim Deadeye
Jar of eyeballs
Journeyer's Kite
Lovisa Coldeyes
Pilgrim's Eye
Witche's eye
Eye of ugin

Too bad evil eye of urborg and Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore are black aligned cards as they're Eye creature types!

Illusions would be fun too

Or maybe eldrazi tribal deck as they take over the world and illuminati would do

Help an anon out!

Hanna can be brutal as Stax. I chose to avoid it for the sake of my group, and chose control instead.

>>47918324
A cool idea for a Zedruu deck that I've seen is "Quest Giver Zedruu" you run stuff like the ordeals, the expedition enchantments from OG zendikar, and alt win cons. The idea is you play as sort of a neutral player and give quests to the other players who will be rewarded for completing it.

>>47918324
Alternatively there's the asshole Zedruu where you run stuff like Steel Golem, Aggressive Mining, Illusions of Grandeur, etc. to fuck people over.

I know, I absolutely love recurring and playing Solitary Confinement every turn and never have to discard anything nor skip draw. Extra fun for Sphere of Safety and Enchanted Evening.

>>47933701
My friend has Omnath deck, only non-permanents being Primal Surge and Genesis Wave. I've seen couple of times first card revealed being Wave when Surge resolves, or some minor things before it, like land or two and maybe mystic elf.

>>47933746

That's basically how I ran my TinyLeaders deck. Turbo lockout.

>>47933790

I don't understand how people can make a deck with only primal surge and permanents

When you play primal surge, you should immediately lose from any card draw triggers, no?

At least if you have gen wave as well there's a decent chance you survive card draw triggers

Or do they just run no card draw in the whole deck? That seems bad too

>>47934412
Just run Platinum Angel.

>>47934412
He doesn't have any card draw in the deck if I recall correctly. Only mana.
He dies to fog though, because Craterhoof is predictable

>>47934602

Oh that actually makes a lot of sense

>>47934993
If you just shat your entire deck on the table, you should not need to swing to win. Even in monogreen, you could combo out with, off the top of my head, Melira+Woodfall Primus+Altar of Dementia.

>>47926213
Totally a valid reason for liking her, those are

1) Cool effects that
2) Aren't bombastic enough to earn you hate.

Don't want to make a cube thread so I'll just post here.

Does this seem like a good idea for a cube? You have 8 people, and before drafting they can pick from one of the cards in pic related, to encourage them to build with that card in mind. The cube would still be diverse, but you could just slot one of these cards into your deck. For example, you could have cards like Blood Artist that would benefit both Felidar Sovereign and Mortal Combat.

>get old niv-miz from a friend
>throw every bit of card draw i have into a deck
i dont want the lads to have a giggle at me tomorrow, am i doing it right?

>>47937885
>Hedron Alignment
No. Otherwise, seems okay. Maybe replace Alignment with Near Death Experience, and have an Angel's Grace in the cube.

>>47937885

None of these cards are playable in cube

You would have to make the cube entirely about supporting these cards and even then, I still doubt you could make them work

>>47937908

if by card draw you mean wheels, you're on the right track

>>47938034
Only Coalition Victory and Hedron Alignment are almost impossible. The rest are pretty straightforward: play it, durdle, win.

>>47937986

I think Mayael's Aria could work in place of hedron alignment

As seen in pic related

i run progenitus eldrazi.
the only way you beat it is if you wipe lands.
is fun
i regularly kill people with door to nothingness

>>47938069

What I mean is that unless the cube is designed entirely around these cards, they will never be worth building around, and even then, it will be easier to win in another way

I suppose azor's elocutors isn't the worst win con but all the others will be inferior to simply winning the normal way

Cube decks have 40 cards, how are you supposed to make a mortal combat deck? Or rather, why would you even bother when you could just make a normal deck?

If you have 100 mana, why would you spend it on helix pinnacle? It will always be superior to spend it on normal green cards

These cards are all barely playable in casual constructed decks designed to maximize the chances of them working

It would be difficult enough to design a cube that could support all these crazy wincons even if the design was entirely dedicated to them

The idea that you could slot these cards into a normal cube deck as the original post described is laughable

>>47938112

I must have worded myself incorrectly. The cube would be designed with these eight cards in mind, you're right.

>>47938122

I wish you luck but I don't see it working at all

It also sounds incredibly unfun to play, considering that every single one of these cards has the strategy of basically drag the game out as long as possible so that you have to time to assemble the absurdly specific conditions of the wincons

What do you guys think?

I need guidance, I'm getting tired of Sedris and want to build a new deck. The generals I'm looking at are Angry Omnath, Thromok, Yasova, or I could rebuild my old Lorthos deck. Not trying to be too degenerate because everyone hated playing against Lorthos (but I loved it).

>>47938428
Squirrels are fucking stupid. I hate the type of people who play this game and ruin it with their stupid shit. Someone made some mistakes with squirrel shit being released from wizards in the past, and now we have to pay the price with these autistic fucks.

These are just some of the people I play with. I couldn't remember everyone's decks.

Green - Me.
Blue - Friend of mine, pretty funny guy.
Orange - Another good friend of mine. Always hilarious to play against.
Brown - Some kid from our LGS, I love playing with him because he makes everyone at the table angry and tilted with his bad plays, obnoxious behavior, poor attempts at cheating, and intentional ignorance of the game. If you do ANYTHING to him or his meager board-state, he will flip the fuck out and curse you out. I have tons of stories about him
Red - Another pal of mine. Plays like a douche, he acknowledges that and is proud of it, so I can't be mad at him.

Well, I personally have a couple, but there are others who play/deal with him more than I do. Here's one that I watched, I wasn't in the game.
>Brown was playing Phenax I believe, but that doesn't really matter.
>Brown thinks he's hot shit with Phenax, going so far to say he'll beat any of our decks with it even though he normally gets his shit pushed in.
>Brown puts down Rhystic Study, his favorite card ever apparently.
>It stays on the field for like five turns.
>Finally, someone blows it up because Brown is getting some decent card advantage, even though he missed the trigger at least a hundred times.
>Brown, who takes any kind of play against him as a personal attack, proceeds to fly off the handle.
>Says he's going to beat the shit out of the guy who did it and that he's never allowed to have any fun.
>Calls the guy a faggot and pretty much every swear he knows before the owners start getting involved.
>Brown has scooped at this point for whatever reason, and the owners are kicking him out of the place.
>He's still fuming and sputtering a bunch of bullshit before turning and saying "See you fuckers tomorrow for draft."
>The owners strike back with "You're banned from the store until Monday, you're not drafting tomorrow."
>He pretty much gasps at this revelation and then storms out, and I can see him through the window kicking dirt and shouting as he walks home.
Now, imagine all that, but from a kid who looks like a shorter, paler Urkel. I have more with my own experiences playing with him, but they're a bit more minor than that.

>>47940250
No, you're fine. His is a different case, since every time I see him, he's already taking apart a deck he's been hyping for weeks for a new one. None of his decks have a staying power for more than a month.

>>47940334

While that would be hilarious, I doubt he'd make it out of the game without having an aneurysm. I remember the first time I actually killed him in a game. Brown likes me, and rarely, if ever, talks shit directly to me, but that all changed this day.
>Playing Isperia in a six man game with Brown.
>I hate big games like this and am bored half the time waiting a half hour for my turn.
>I look over at Brown's board, and notice the guy before him is swinging big damage because Gisela is on the Boros players field.
>This leaves Brown at 10 health, and he lost all of his blockers.
>Look at my board and say "In response to your creature dying, Brown, I'm tapping Adarkar Valkyrie and taking control of it."
>"Uhhh...Okay, anon."
>Take control of his 5/5 flyer.
>"Cool. Moving to combat, swinging five at you, Brown."
>He starts getting huffy.
>"Yeah, sure! I guess it's gang-up on Brown day, huh fuckers?!"
>Boros player: "Brown. You're dead."
>He cocks an eyebrow at the guy and asks angrily "What?! It was only five!"
>The Boros player just kind of taps Gisela with his finger.
>Brown turns to me as he picks up his cards and says "Y'know...I used to think you were a pretty cool guy, but now I don't! Fuck you, Anon!"
I lost a friend that day, but I did have a laugh afterwards, so I think it was an even trade.

>>47940363

I second that. I wanted to build her, but ended up making Nath and Brago/GAA4 stax.

Trying to come up with a somewhat original sisay list right now.

Not the "summon the same legendaries over and over" but glare of subdual/mirari's wake/anthemn based tokens.

Some things I'm thinking of: Jinxed idol. Passing one around the table is fun. Tutor up melira and use kitchen finks to gift it to someone a million times.

Tutor up hall of triumph and spear of heliod, saproling burst, rootborn defenses in response to the LTB trigger, lots of glare fuel.Same with hornet queen, etc.

He's quite the joy to play with, he does get out of hand.
>Brown is about eighteen or nineteen.
>While waiting for a game of Commander to get started, I sat and watched Brown play what I think was either Modern or just kitchen table with an eleven year old who just happened upon the store.
>Brown plays a bounce land without bouncing and untapped on a turn, and then the next turn he throws down an aura on nothing and proceeds to try to equip it the next turn.
>He then starts taunting the child when he starts beating him.
>Has already started cursing when the kids mother came in to tell him it's time to go.

>>47940701
I wonder what other cards synergize with that in monored. Besides the obvious Hateflayer and that big Golem guy that untaps with 5 dudes.

I want more cards that care about noncombat damage. It is fun.

That seems awful, to be honest. Wasting an aura on a board wipe seems really bleh.

I'll keep looking for junk though.

Also, I hate how I am gonna have to double sleeve a cheap monored deck just because I want to use my black on black Chandra.

>>47940653
My list was heavily influenced by this Utuber who has many commander videos including a handfull videos dedicated to Chandra as a Commander.
I'll leave here two links should one be interested in seeing it:

Multyplayer EDH
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUmLMeqp17w

1vs1 video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ3LpDgM0FE

I am able to flip her 1vs1 easily for the most part but not actually recasting her once she's down.

On multyplayer my playgroup doesnt bother removing her and I got to her emblem without any1 noticing quite a few times. She's more of a nuisance... that until it is to late.

Sometimes I put some chaotic cards in there for fun.

One of the best plays so far was Blasphemous act for a red mana provided by pyromancer's googles, reverberate and increasing vengeance on the Act spell on a board with stuffy doll and a phyrexian metamorph of the stuffy doll for an absurd amount of burn damage to 2 different players while the furnace of rath was in play.
13+13+13+13=52
52 * 2 = 104 damage to each player of something like that

I wasn't chosen as the target of the stuffy doll as I don't play almost any heavy beaters besides inferno titan

>>47940897
I'll take a glance. I'm not big on taking lists from others, but I've been literally looking at hundreds of cards that pertain to dealing damage for several weeks now and I need to stop and start being productive with the list.

I just want them to print thirty cards like Chandra's Spitfire so I can use shit like Zo-zu and friends as enablers.

>>47940804

Just use the checklist card in your deck, and bring the real card in when you cast her, like God intended.

I have a Phenax, God of Deception deck that I haven't updated since Tarkir. I rarely get to play it, and it isn't super competitive but I think it's fun.

Anyone have any suggestions for a deck like that?
