Superfriends works well with atraxa, infect and voltron don't, the good news is that if you don't like superfriends then you can still do a general counters creature deck, get all the goodies from simic like fathom mage, etc and all the counters stuff of golgari and Abzan as well

It can work, but it's very slow unlike most infect strategies.

One of the most significant parts of infect is its ability to get one-shot kills.

Should decks that go wide still pack mass removal?

If so, how much?
>>
>>50078017

True, but in my experience, rafiq decks in most metas don't actually connect for lethal combat damage that often, instead the threat of rafiq just makes room for bant goodstuff to win

Anyway you do have a point though, something with huge damage potential like rafiq can be worth it because the reward is so high it's worth the risk

I don't think atraxa is in the same position
>>
>>50078038

Probably worth at least 1, maybe 2-3. Gonna be a dead draw a lot of the time, but when you need a wrath, you need a wrath, and nothing else will do
>>
>>50078017
>comparing Rafiq to Atraxa
really

I guess access to four colors might add something, but unlike Rafiq, Atraxa isn't packing any abilities that help push commander damage, except having one of the weaker forms of evasion
>>
>>50078073
Of course Rafiq can be built towards goodstuff, but he's also one of the go-to voltron commanders, and people are happy to protect him, either with auras/equips or counterspells.

I'm not saying she'd necessarily be better than Rafiq, but vigilance + lifelink does comparable work to double strike.
>>
>>50078107
Rafiq has the double strike and needs the evasion; Atraxa has the evasion and needs the double strike.

Again, I'm not saying she'd necessarily be as good as Rafiq, but she certainly isn't bad either.
>>
>>50078143
>>50078114

Okay let's rephrase, atraxa isn't BAD with voltron, nor with infect, i just don't think she's particularly suited to facilitate either strat, whereas I do think she is the only commander off the top of my head that directly interacts with planeswalkers, and she definitely facilitates a +1/+1 counters deck well

Umezawa's Jitte, +1 counter rings, Rings, she already has 4 evergreen keywords to name a few. Then moving on to the enchantress side of things, phyresis for infect, all the good stuff I successfully run in Sigarda, plus black and blue for improved card draw and removal.
>>
>>50078038
New player, what's the difference between going tall vs going wide
>>
>>50078459
An example of a deck going wide would be like a token deck, with lots of little threats. A deck going tall would be like a voltron deck that relies more on one big threat.

I'm thinking of converting my zirilan edh to pic related. I plan to keep it dragon tribal, been looking on edhrec but haven't seen much good stuff, any suggestions for tech? Gameplan is gonna be ramp like mad turns 1-4 then start windmill slamming dragons each turn.

I love zirilan but my meta is full of spot removal so he just gets locked down. I think adding green will net me some better survivability, plus people were getting tired of my toolbox (they should fight a sisay deck before they bitch desu)
>>
>>50078143
Thing with Rafiq tho, is that usually in voltron builds, you lose when he swings the first time.
>>
>>50078527
I wish she had haste.
>>
>>50078527
If you wanna do Dragon Tribal in G/R you should do Xenegod. Best enabler for hasty dragons.

Or you could do Mina and Denn, Wildborn to add an extra land drop per turn.

Radha is alright, but I feel link she'd be better suited as a elfball commander.
>>
>>50078557
desu she'll play as a shitty llanowar elves, but guaranteed t2 ramp is pretty sweet.

I really want black for kholaghan and jund sweetness but i cant find a commander that fits (karrthus costs way too much money and is a shitty commander)

Sunbond is pretty cool with her. Blade of the
Bloodchief and Predatory Hunger are relatively cost effective ways to accumulate +1/+1 counters.

Double strike is obviously important for commander damage so run those.

Depending on how common exiling is, regenerate is good protection on top of indestructible. I like Blessing of Leeches and Soul Channeling.

One sub-archetype you could to is run all the enchantresses and Sigil of the Empty Throne, in which case run repeatable enchantments like Flickering Ward, Cage of Hands, Rancor, etc.
>>
>>50078569
I figure a cheap commander will help dragon tribal since my curve will be huge, but yeah it still feels awkward.

I wish i had a good outlet tor her RR, firebreathing i guess.

As someone who played Radha for a long time, make sure your landbase assures you're able to cast her turn 2 every time.

He's not really that bad. Sure, he costs a lot but his effect is pretty good. Hasty Dragons are good too. Plus that gives you access to Bladewing the Risen and add a bunch of other possible reanimation.

>>
>>50078752
I don't think you run enough impactful creatures to warrant See the Unwritten. Why not try Season's Past and Mystical Tutor to combo with Time Warp?

Some other big bomb spells you may like:
>Volcanic Vision
>Blatant Thievery
>Insurrection
>Clone Legion
>>
>>50078857
I don't think Wanderer ever needed to be scaled out via CMC.

Generally, Wanderer decks just run cards that function as wildfire effects, ramp (mostly rocks), card draw, and library manipulation. If you don't cascade into something impactful, you're likely going to cascade into draw/ramp to help recast Wanderer next turn.

Ok so Ive been telling myself Id get into EDH for a while, and to force myself to I did something dumb and bought some Masterpiece staples. So now Im trying to sketch out the structure of a decent Leovald deck. My local store is super competitive about EDH (Elfball and Geth types), so Im not worried about power.

I notice that a lot of EDH decks tend to have a certain density of splashy overcosted nonsense, and have varying amounts of just pure goodstuff. Am I better off trying to build Leovald low to the ground with a high density of just pure efficiency and group disruption, or do I really need a critical mass of splash to swing against timmy haymakers and massive combos?

>>50079813
Honestly, leovolds greatest strength lies in hosing all opponents hands at once with windfall effects. Keep your curve low, forget big splashy shit. Win by oppressing the table and slowly pinging them to death, utilize mind-breaking them and forcing the concede. That's not your win -con, but it would be dumb to overlook it.

Don't bother with big stompy creatures. Just pack pillowfort and mass bounce spells like cyclonic rift, this pairs nicely with wheel effects like windfall or dark deal.

Oh,and welcome to the edh family, im glad to be the first to welcome you.
>>
>>50079854
Since neither have flash, no.
Cast the griffin with no enchantments on the field, it dies.
Can't cast the enchantment without a viable target.
>>
>>50079813
showing up out of nowhere with a leovold is quite the statement, that guy has a reputation. have you borrowed a deck of theirs to play with them a bit and see what their playstyles feel like? it's honestly the best way to get a feel on how to build a deck that fits the meta.
>>
>>50079854
not sure what you want to ask. if you are casting Radiance on something else and it resolves then you are good to cast the griffin but if the aura gets removed at any time before the griffin resolves then you would have to sacrifice it right when it enters the battlefield.

if you mean that you want to cast the griffin and then attach the aura to it then you can't do that because the griffin's effect will trigger as soon as its on the field and will check for enchantments on the field. if you dont control any you'd have to sac it right away before being able to equip aura

>>
>>50078741
Crosis's synergy with discard effects is questionable. True you can see what they have in their hand so you know which colors to name, but you can already guess that based on what lands they're playing. So you often end up hitting something that you would have hit with Crosis two turns later anyways.
If you want to build around him, which you shouldn't, use mass bounce. I went for artifact ramp, non-stax mana denial (ala Dwarven Miner and Viashivan Heretic), and cost-efficient threats. My group is very underpowered, but it remains my deck with the highest winrate.

>>50079732
That seems like a really interesting deck concept. Wand of denial seems right up your alley.
It's so different from what I normally play, though, that I feel there isn't much I can judge about the deck without actually playing it.
>>
>>50079854
You would need to flash in an enchantment beforehand using something like Sigarda's Aid which will allow you to the keep the griffen provided you casted it first anyway Although even if you were to flash in an aura enchantment I believe the griffen's ability would check the board for enchantments you control first and lead to it dying if you don't control any, or you could just play Sigarda and not have to sacrifice it anyways

New Emrakul theme deck.
Use pillowfort stuff and general misdirection tactics to survive.
Play city of brass and friends with muse vessel/ornate kanzushi to turn people's decks against them.
Play Ugin's Nexus and Noetic Scales to take control over another player.
Play Jester's Mask and Copper Angel/Assault Suit to make people take some really bad turns.

It's just too expensive for a deck that won't even win, though.

Depends on how you go wide.

I can't run either cards now or my group gets salty and immediately concedes against the deck, forcing me to play a different one

I've thought about building the following:

>Athreos, God of Passage (standard Shadowborn Apostle bullshit)
>Borborygmos Enraged (I want to throw lands)
>Ezuri, Claw of Progress (Infect)
>Gahiji, Honored One (Werewolf Tribal)
>Kambal, Consul of Allocation (Life gain and drain, taxes)
>Numot, the Devastator (America themed deck)
>Oloro, Ageless Ascetic (life gain and drain, taxes)
>Phelddagrif (typical group hug bullshit)
>Queen Marchesa (Control and token swarm)
>Rafiq of the Many (Voltron)

I kinda want to build a Naya deck based around the new R/G and G/W partners - all the tokens, then make them unblockable. Talk me out of it. Yes, I know Ghaave would be better, but Ghaave is also Combo-Centric(TM) and I'd prefer to avoid that in favor of just swinging and going wide.
>>
Should I take apart Gahiji and put a good chunk of it into K&T or are they unique enough that I should keep them both? Keeping them both also means I'd probably have to dump around $40 to get K&T up to snuff so is that really worth it? I'd be building K&T more huggy than Gahiji but I feel like the general playstyle would be very similar.

What are some good wincons for K&T? Or should I just go straight hugs and only "win" by forcing a draw?

I've been thinking of building a Tolsimir Wolfblood deck only to run Mirror Gallery and Hero's Podium, and making an army of legendary wolves.

It would be a generic GW token deck otherwise.

>>50083225
You could try substituting basic lands for lands that do similar jobs to nonlands you wanted to include. Like the cycling lands for draw, Buried Ruin and the likes for recursion and so on.
>>
>>50082970
this card is kind of low value. it adds to up about 0,4-0,6 extra cards per turn. that's not that great for 4 mana. i mean it's not terrible for gruul colors, but i think you can do better

i probably wouldn't run 60 lands in borbo either, more like 44 or 50.

So on a scale of meh to unplayable, how suboptimal would it be to finally put together an Infect EDH now that Atraxa is a thing? I absolutely adore the mechanic and phrexian stuff in general, and my inner Vorthos has been clambering to try it for some time now, and she seems about as good of a fit as I'm likely to get (aside from mono-B Skittles, of course).

I realize that the card pool is rather limited, but surely with four colors to play with I can cobble something decent together right? Plus liberal use of +1/+1 counter pumps to beef my creatures up.
>>
>>50083451
The only way I would play Atraxa infect would be to play infect in EDH is to play Ichor Rats and stall for 10 rounds.

So, I'm a boring cunt who is building atraxa superfriends/goodstuff , I have most of my planeswalkers i am playing decided but am looking for flexible and useful spells to play alongside them , things like abzan charm and such that are good in multiple ways but they dont have to be modal spells necessarily, Anyone got any cool technology in mind?
>>
So, my friend's having a pretty bad time, and I missed his b-day a while back, so I was gonna go two-birds-one-stone and build him an EDH deck. He likes playing my animar, and has spoken well of Ydris, because he really likes beating face and getting free shit.

So far, I've settled on tryi ng to run mostly of not solely creatures who's p/t equals 9 or 18 for wild pair, a fair number of which cost 9 for grozoth, and lowest possible non-permanent spell count for arbiter of the ideal.

Does a quick way for me to find all creatures whose total power and toughness equal 9 or 18 exost, or do I have to go one-by-one for each possible p/t?

Also, what're some permanents you'd suggest?

Not that guy but...Well lets hope so. Thats the end goal for every voltron commander. Attacking once per person is the best way to win a muliplayer game. As a Saskia, Derevi, and Uril voltron player, its so easy to get shut down. Everyone acts like Rafiq is end all and kill him asap. Just run boardwipes and sac effects. its so easy to beat it.

Atarka, World Render is a pretty great R/G dragon commander.

As it so happens, though, I've been thinking about possibly changing my R/G dragons deck to Temur Dragons, with Intet as the commander. I feel like it would be worse than the deck I already have now, though.

>>50079968
This also fucks over people's Div Tops and Vamp Tutors. Pretty cash.

If you are buying a commander deck because of competitive power, you shouldn't buy premade decks. Otherwise, all of them looks fun, especially with the partner commanders.
>>
>>50085061
well you could just buy singles for the price of the deck instead. i mean if it were me, i would buy the ogre, chromatic, and have 25 left over to get whatever from the other decks. although the atraxa deck is where money cards are, with revilark, kalonian hydra, ghave, cauldron of souls and scavenging ooze costing 2 more or so depending where you look with other cards above a couple bucks a piece.

tldr: just get singles, unless you just want a 4 color deck to play with

If I wanted to convert this deck to a Mardu colored deck but keep the same playstyle, which Black cards should I add to just make the deck run smoother?

Im basically slower turning it into a Casual Angel Tribal and I determined that Black was better than Green for my deck build.

The Commander would end up being Tariel (despite the fact that this isnt designed as a Reanimation deck)

What does /edhg/ think?

I wish I could use Atraxa as my Commander, but losing Red would SUCK ASS for an Angel Tribal, as Id lose SOI Avacyn, INN Gisela, Tariel, Aurelia...

>tldr: just get singles, unless you just want a 4 color deck to play with
This is a load of shit, I did a cost analysis of Atraxa and Yidris and for just the nice pieces in either the cost of singles is higher than the MSRP
>>
>>50085815
All of the decks are higher than msrp.

The prices will crash when the products enter the market. It happens every time.
>>
>>50085941
The deck prices or the single prices you mean?
>>
>>50086038
The singles. Since as more product gets in the market, the costs of the money cards will plummet. A lot of the money cards are money cards because of supply issues and not demand in other formats, like Ghave or the Green Join Forces card. Same with Revilark.

The decks are great and I have the whole set preordered, but the "value" of them is going to tank. Get the decks if you like them, but the stapes they contain will drop regardless
It's the same situation that happened with conspiracy 2
>>
>>50086132
Let's hope so, I don't think stuff from previous products like Thran Dynamo fell a lot subsequently. If only the influx would reduce the price of the old-bordered prints too...
>>
>>50086176
I think thran dropped a couple dollars. Sol ring has been pummeled to death in value. I wish they'd done the same with Chromatic Lantern and put lantern in every deck.

And I feel you on the old bordered cards. I really want a foil Karmic Guide with the old border and art, but the foils runs back then were so low.
>>
>>50079732
Mind posting a list?
>>
>>50086132
He's not wrong at all.

In the last commander cycle, Black Market was pushing what, $21?

It's fucking $3 now. I'm happy that it's in circulation, but let it sink in how much of a price drop this set does to staples.
>>
>>50086320
>Black Market was pushing what, $21?

that seems odd, i've always thought it's grossly overrated. 5 mana enchantment that does nothing for a fairly long while, and then becomes really good, at which point it eats 1 general spot removal and it's gone.
>>
>>50086500
It was a supply issue, not really the card being good. It was only printed in Mercadian Masques, which was the very first set not protected by the reserve list.

You can see it happening with burgeoning. A 30 dollar card is now worth 3 because they actually printed the damn thing.

I agree I wouldn't want to lose your red options either, although I probably would never run angels without green ramp either, so I'll just casually recommend Saskia, who also works perfectly with angels' game plan.

Black adds some nice Sunforger options, ie. Anguished Unmaking, Utter End and Mortify.

Black also handles your card draw, ie. Phyrexian Arena, Necropotence, Skeletal Scrying, Ambition's Cost, etc.

Black Market can help cast those big angels.

The only reason you're getting triggered is you're too dense to understand the difference between "dies to removal" and "gives lots of time to be removed before it becomes useful".

>>50086761

I would say the problem with black market isn't that it dies it's that you have to time it so that you're casting a board wipe the same turn, or you have a free sac outlet + a lot of fodder, otherwise it's really low impact for something you paid 5 mana for
>>
>>50086819
To be fair, most decks that run it are going to have the kind of sac engines to make it quickly worthwhile. It's definitely not something to just throw in any random deck with black though.

For what it's worth, my old Cromat was Hondens enchantress.

Ran a lot of token generator enchantments, then I'd Polymorph into one of two creatures in the deck: Zur and Maelstrom Archangel. The angel's obvious, but Zur was the "true" general because he could fetch the red honden, Paradox Haze or Sterling Grove to tutor for whatever else.

You have evoke and delve, so maybe some "you may X instead of paying mana cost" cards would entice you. (Like Snuff Out)

Thanks for the idea. Possibility Storm, if I understand correctly, lets me cascade twice, but I feel people will groan super had every time it hits play.

Well, all it'll really mean is the Yasova player will be stealing and keeping your shit instead of the Zedruu player's.

Nope. You cast a spell. That spell is not cast. Instead you flip until you find a spell that shares a type with it and cast that. On second thought, DON'T run that. I just realized if the spell doesn't resolve then it wont cascade either. Wahwah sorry

Also consider cards that say "when you cast/play a spell, X" since every spell you cast is basically 2 spells. Like Consuming Aberration.

>>50088738
Cascade is not dependent on a spell resolving.
But regardless, cards cast via Possibility Storm's triggered ability wouldn't cascade with Yidris anyhow because they weren't from your hand.

Lord of Tresserhorn: use the stupid "power of 1" cards with eldrazi tokens voltron deck. sounds like fun but i'm sure it's really weak. I also have too many voltron decks.

Stangg: Warrior tribal with a "twin" theme. Cards like Veteran's Voice, Stand Together, Soulbond, etc. tfw casual scum

Barrin: Make him an artifact creature and use all the Modular cards. it's terrible and does nothing but inconvenience someone for a turn

Put 10 of them into your deck and see what happens. Maybe 15, fuck it. If he is mono-U get some good old fashion Gruul hate cards.

>>50089114
This thinking is pretty absurdly flawed that I have a hard time believing this isn't outright bait or something. This applies to pretty much any "competitive" format. What reason do you have to not play the best deck in any other format? There is none if you look at it like that. And frankly if any deck is an option there is absolutely zero reason to not play the best deck in those situations. But there are so many factors that it is not that simple, either in "competitive" commander or any other 60 card format. Someone doesn't just "know" what the best deck is, and even then the best decks can often be metagame'd against. It's not like there's just one good deck. 5c hermit is a meme and is really not that good. I'd honestly say probably, like, Sidisi or some Doomsday deck is probably better than 5c hermit, and there are ways to beat Doomsday decks as well. You can get luck and draw all the sol rings and shit but that applies to any format. Commander isn't well balanced for duels but it doesn't have much to do with the issue that people who want to win will always play whatever they think the best deck is regardless of format.

>>50089555
the problem i had with the concept was that there's 40 life to chew through, so all my decks would be heavily disadvantaged (i don't play combo, voltron or infect). also, sol ring and mana crypt being unbanned is really fucking stupid in a singleton format. put any two decently optimized decks together 1v1 and give one of them a mana crypt or a sol ring and see which one has a gigantic advantage. at that point, why even bother having the tournament if both players have like a 13% chance of winning before the game even starts

>hurf durf anyone can draw a sol ring in any format

those aren't typically singleton formats and they don't use 99 card decks

edh works because every spell has to be approved by 3 other players before it resolves, the guy who gets a turn 1 sol ring gets 3 times as much shit on him, and there's 40 life so the game is more about incremental advantages, board control, fun tech and so on, and less about just burning everyone does as soon as possible.

>>hurf durf anyone can draw a sol ring in any format
>those aren't typically singleton formats and they don't use 99 card decks
Yeah, it's honestly probably more likely that people draw their hardcore autowin cards when people can play 4 copies of them in a 60 card deck instead of one in a 99 card deck. I really don't follow your point the way you said it. You made it sound like it was easier, like it was more likely people will draw broken cards together in commander. That doesn't make any sense. Anyway, your other issue was people all just playing the best deck. Every deck can play Sol Ring or Mana Crypt, so those aren't influencing the best decks other than maybe ones who can better use artifact mana which is easily more than one deck, and that sort of deck can be metagame'd against if someone expects that. That's why the logic of criticizing a format because people will just play the best deck is ridiculous. There are many people with many different ideas of what the best deck is.
>>
>>50089884
the problem isn't that it's too easy to draw insta-win cards in edh. it's the fact that it's too hard. when both players have 4 cards that put them in an instant lead in a 60 card deck, then they're more likely both draw one and thus nullify each other's lead. the chance of drawing a mana crypt in edh is 1 in 99 (or rather a bit less every time you thin your deck). the chance of drawing a mana crypt in vintage is 1 in 15. that's quite a difference.

so i don't see the point of the tournament when there's that much randomness at play. if someone lucks out and draws sol ring twice a row in both matches, then he's probably going to win both regardless of who's the better player or who has the better deck. at that point, why bother with the tournament in the first place
>>
>>50089555
I think it is because EDH was designed to be a janky format for multiplayer, so a competitive 1v1 tournament is the exact opposite.

>>50089970
This logic doesn't make any sense at all, and also does jive with the initial criticism of
>why wouldn't you just play the most greediest combo deck ever that wins by turn 3 or 4 reliably?

Are you saying that because it's less likely to happen, it's less worthy of having a "competitive" 1v1 tournament over it because if someone does get it the other person probably won't get it to counter it? I really don't get it. It's also not like drawing a sol ring is an autowin. It's heavily favoring for sure. But there are a lot fo factors at play. It's possible to have a nuts hand without a sol ring for example. What if someone draws the nuts hand and then the other guy just got a decent hand but it had a sol ring? What if the other person got a cheap artifact removal spell to lose minimum tempo whilst slowing the opponent down? It's not fair to assume it's an autowin. I can agree multiplayer banlist is not well tuned for single player but that doesn't make it unplayable. It just makes it shittier. Why not play another format? Maybe more people have commander decks. Maybe people are intrigued by the deck building challenge. There are many reasons. It's a shittier duel format than, say, vintage or whatever. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done or that its pointless.

Just run all the fast ramp you can put the board on lockdown with tangle wire + smokestack + sundial of the infinite.

Have your upkeep proceed as such
-smokestack counter trigger resolves first, increases
-before anything else resolves, end the turn with sundial.

If you can pull this off by turn 5, you should have the win in the bag because they'll be unable to do much of anything thanks to tanglewire never going down.

There's nothing inherently frustrating about this card unless you sperg out about people not actually hiding items.

I maintain that Karrthus is the best dragon commander. I play Scion now because I have a boner for dragons and want them in all colors, but quite frankly I think Kaarthus is more focused and, especially on a budget, easier to pull off. A lot of timmy decks run dragons too so there's a decent chance you'll genuinely be able to use his etb without a gifting card. Plus when's the last time you saw someone running a Kaarthus deck? Probably never (unless it was me)
