Every deck with even the smallest amount of red

last thread was almost over when I posted so, most of my decks are pretty casual theme decks, and I hate the color blue, so a while back I decided to make the most blue deck I could as a a sort of know your enemy approach. I went from hating blue to having fun with it, but I want to fine tune it a little bit more, but i'm not really sure what else I could add. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/azamimanga-daioh/

Did he activate the Ugin before you cast Command? Because he would've had priority when Ugin resolved. Still a sick play.

Nah, it was in response to it entering the battlefield and walkers activate at sorcery speed.

>>50655371

That's not a thing

You can't respond to something "entering the battlefield" unless a triggered ability is put on the stack when that thing enters the battlefield

Otherwise it works like this:

>thing resolves
>active player gets priority
>nothing on stack so they can cast sorceries or activate pw abilities etc

>>50655371
I don't mean to come off as a rules lawyer or anything, but for future reference: You can't respond to something entering the battlefield. When Ugin resolves, his controller gets priority first. Since nothing's on the stack and it's a main phase (presumably), he can plus or minus Ugin. Only once he activates Ugin and passes priority can you cast Command in response.

>>50655323
He's pretty alright early game if I get him. I haven't really gotten the opportunity to try much else out with him. I'm thinking of replacing him with Archetype of Imagination to combo off of Leviathan and because my friend keeps winning off of me with Wonder in his graveyard.

>>50655409
Oh shit, yeah you're right. I just looked into it.

Welp. That's a bummer. Still love the card.

To be fair, he probably would have reacted the same way if I did it to his doubling season. Guy was a cock.

>>50655432
Nope, you're right. Knowing the rules isn't rules lawyering. My bad guys!

Makes me sad, though. I loved that story.

Now that I think about it, folks at the table probably knew, they just hated that guy, and since he was so adamant about arguing about the graveyard thing, they kept quiet.

>>50655451
Archetype is good. If graveyard stuff is a problem you may want to put in a Relic or something because you have literally nothing to stop a grave-based axis of play.

>>50655529

Obviously tech against Elixer and the like that auto-reshuffle grave into the deck. If you're lucky you can snipe the Elixer/Tech with Circu's ability and make it a dead card anyway.

>>50655860
Emrakul is hard because you're restricted to colorless stuff, which tends to drive up the price. Mono-wastes manabase should hurt less than the standard suite of utility lands. Other than that just use a bunch of mana rocks and Mind's Eye effects. Also check out edhrec if you haven't.

You'd better have a sweet-ass Urami token.

You guys wanna hear the best story about breaking rules in commander?

There was this guy that played competitive edh at all the local tourneys. He played Derevi and combo'd off all the time with the deck. This was back when Partial Paris was the mulligan rule for edh.

Once the mulligan rule got switched to Vancouver mulligan he literally quit edh and made a new "format" where the only difference was 30 life, partial paris mulligan, and the same card pool as modern.

All because he couldn't partial Paris and perfectly sculpt his hand to combo off turn 2.

>>50657257

We do one free partial lol

i think it's kinda silly because it's OP compared to mulligan, no real reason to mulligan because the first partial is free

But on the other hand I think we all have more fun when everybody has better opening hands so I'm okay with it

>>50657566
Of course, it's exactly like that in EDH as well, but Bazingaman said to set aside the hand and take a new before shuffling just to save time, since it's 100 card singleton and shuffling takes longer than in 60-card formats. Besides, the keep hands are less frequent, depending on what do you want in your hand.

How does that interact with Marchesa's last ability, assuming that the Hell's Thunder has a +1/+1 counter on it?

>>50658844
Hell's Thunder attacks and gets a dethrone counter. Beginning of end step, sacrifice trigger is put on stack and resolves. Marchesa's ability gets put on stack and resolves. On the beginning of the next turn's end step, the second part of Marchesa's ability is put on stack. It resolves, and Hell's Thunder comes back. On the beginning of the next turn's end step, Hell's Thunder's ability is put on stack. It resolves, and Hell's Thunder is sacrificed. If it had a counter on it when that happens, the cycle repeats. If it doesn't, it dies for good.

>>50658797

This is wrong, it refers to each end step. This creature creates a trigger each end step and when it resolves, the creature is sacrificed.

>>50658775
Any end step. Usually yours for something like that unless you flashed it in on your opponent's turn or used sundial of the infinite to skip the trigger.

Alright, after testing out Doran he just wasn't good in 4 way, so I'm switching the deck to Jund.

What do I need? I need to add some combo to the deck to fall back on but I'm not sure which one. Maybe Mike+Trike.

>>50659082

>>50656082
Why would you do 5 color instead of just 4 color with Ydris? Its mana base is less complicated and Ydris can actually lead to cool shit like cascading Eldrazi into Eldrazi and synergizes with Annihilator as you want extra attack phases anyway.

Displacer isn't worth the white splash, especially when most of the good Eldrazi abilities are Cast triggers anyway.

Hey there anons. Lately I've been wanting to get into MTG again. I have some stuff on my cardbooks or spellbooks as I like to call them but thats beyond weeabo, so I've got material to re-start with.

However, I remember that as a kid I used to suck very much at this game; I only managed to win once in my life, and only because I got tips from someone. What should I take in consideration when trying to get into the game again?

Also yes, i know that around my area there are some players.

So I'm going to take the leap into EDH after a few months of borrowing decks and learning the basics.

Since this format seems to be about fun cards and building cool themed decks I was thinking about building a deck themed around Eldrazi tribal, I play standard and had a ball with them during BfZ and am intrigued by the older Zendikar ones as well.

I want to try to make the deck about ramping into the Eldrazi Titans and then beating face.

What generals should I look into? Colorless with a titan as a general is something I'm not interested in really, I'm more interested in playing Eldrazi that make Spawn and Scions that help me drop the beaters, or ways to cheat them in without the deck being all about mana rocks and artifacts.

The best one is apparently Animar, but we already have three Animar decks in my local scene so I want to consider a different option. What are other interesting generals that help synergize with the eldrazi?

Jin-jan augur man!

The biggest issue colorless eldrazi has is running out of gas. Jin basically Plays like a titan himself, while refilling you on rocks and beaters. Basically colorless ramp, but play at least 20 islands, and a few blue spells. (I only run 2) Run every titan in 99 (apart from old emrakul obv) and full up on the rest of the good annihilators.

Alternatively, play rakdos, lord of riots or animar. Rasputin dreamweaver works too I heard. Surrak dragonclaw.


Good luck man!

>The best one is apparently Animar, but we already have three Animar decks in my local scene so I want to consider a different option.

Rakdos, Lord of Riots is basically the 75% version of Animar if your interested, It wins through flooding the board with Eldrazi Titans on one turn along with dumping everyone's hands, leaving you set to swing for the win, or through dealing 14 + damage and using Cloudstone Curio and 2 Eldrazi to with destroy all permanents your opponents have, exile their fields, exile their libraries, or deal infinite damage.

Its a bit of a gimmick and has clear weaknesses, but that's why its a 75% deck even when fully optimized.

If you want to play the spawn into big bomb annihilators deck Yidris is a possible consideration.

You get access to a bunch of the good spawn and scion makers.

You want to attack more often with the Annihilator triggers so you want more attack phases, something Yidris wants as well.

You want to cast high CMC spells, which works with Ydris perfectly.

When Yidris connects you can cascade Eldrazi into other Eldrazi which trigger's their cast effects.

The mana base can be tricky but the outcome could be something fun.

I know exactly how you feel, I got back in about a year ago and was just as confused. This is the EDH/Commander thread, which is a specific casual format of MtG.

>Constructed (60 card decks, max 4 of each card, sideboard of 15)
Vintage: almost everything ever printed is allowed
Legacy: like Vintage but with a slightly stricter banlist
Modern: almost everything with the new card frames since around 2003 is allowed
Standard: only cards from the latest sets that are 1-2 years old, cycles out oldest sets for new ones once a year
>Limited (40 card decks, no maximum duplicates, deck built from booster packs each session)
Sealed: buy 6 boosters, build a deck out of the cards, play against others that have done the same
Draft: buy 3 boosters, sit down in a circle with others, open a booster, draft one card from it, pass it to the person next to you, draft one card from his booster, rinse and repeat, build a deck out of the cards, play against those you drafted with
>Casual (many variations)
Commander: 100 card decks, singleton (max one of each card except basic lands), one legendary creature is your commander that is always available to play out from a special command zone, deckbuilding restricted to using the colors of the commander, usually played in free-for-all multiplayer instead of 1v1

There's a ton of etb/ltb creatures in those colors, staples for Marchesa probably are:

Baleful Strix, the titan cycle, the primordial cycle and Flayer of the Hatebound.

Things with persist work well with her also, unfortunately Flayer of the Hatebound is the only undying with a good etb.

Also keep in mind threaten effects become permanent steals if you have a sac outlet.

Pic related is probably #1 needed card for her though.

>>50661154
Ok, so, obviously there are the Mirrodin swords. Cost 3, equip for 2, slew of strong abilities and a P/T buff. If I'm understanding you, though, you want something that's cheap to cast, cheap to equip, provides an economical boost, and is easy on the wallet.

Bonesplitter is hard to beat for pure value
Trusty Machete is good, too
Shuko is nearly free
Grafted Wargear has a drawback, but is a strong buff
Sword of the Animist is decent, and ramps for you. It's kind of better as a ramping tool than an equipment, though.

>>50661239

You got the gist of it.

Grafted Wargear looks pretty great, as does Trusty Machete, and Sword of the Animist would make for some nice ramp indeed.

Other equipment I was considering were Loxodon Warhammer, and Behemoth Sledge.

>>50661330
Yep, both of those are good. If you're planning on putting it on your commander, Hero's blade is hard to beat. Depending on the deck Commander's Flail is great.

>>50662387
It's "turbostasis", and give me a second, I'll explain

>>50660324
No, when you control several permanents that create replacement effects for a single thing, you decide which one to apply. They don't stack in a way triggers do and so on.
Same reason why Possessed Portal works really well with Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar but Tomorrow also has nonbo with Omen Machine, since that doesn't create a replacement effect. I'm getting sidetracked.
But anyway, Void Maw is golden, since it's a symmetric effect and you can kill a player with it just by looping Priest of Gix with sedris and a sac outlet.

>>50662387

Idk but I just built Kynaios and tiro enchantress that is similar, it's group hug, I give everybody lots of cards and mana, but they are drawing etb creatures and I'm drawing torpor orb, they're drawing artifacts and I'm drawing stony silence, they're drawing targeted removal and I'm drawing greater Auramancy and sterling grove, etc

Yesterday I played a game where I won using stasis + Frozen aether, I had Kynaios and Tiro in play + Cloudstone curio as well so I was able to bounce these two islands back and forth, constantly paying for stasis while also being able to build up untapped lands, while my opponents were drawing dead

They scooped before I actually played the stuff the ensures I win (abundance stops me from decking myself), but they knew it was in the deck so they just scooped to stasis + frozen aether

I think the Kami of the crescent moon version is just more stax (winter orbs and such) and counterspells

>>50661510
This is correct. Keep in mind that it's quite high risk and you need somewhat set up with right lands. If someone removes Worldgorger Dragon at right time (with ETB trigger on stack), you're probably gonna lose the game.

>>50662959
>>50662387
So, to start, what is "turbostasis"m

"Turbo Stasis was a popular deck in the "Black Summer" of 1996 where it played particularly well against Necropotence decks. Its strategy revolves around locking the game with Stasis, and counterspells. The effects of Stasis are mitigated by Howling Mine, which helps the player draw Islands, and also by removing Stasis from play just long enough to allow the player to untap their own cards. Despotic Scepter, Boomerang, and Recall let the player move it into and out of play as needed. It wins either by decking the opponent, accelerated by Howling Mine and protected against by Feldon's Cane, or by Black Vise damage.

In commander, this translates by giving each player around 4 to 5 cards a turn, while locking down the table with winter orb, static orb, meekstone, etc. You want to buy enough time to find your combo pieces (lab man + leveler, mind over matter + temple bell/otherworld atlas). Some people use artifacts that damage each turn = cards in hand and the like, but I try to avoid wins by damage. Another wincon is darksteel reactor. Another common win is opponents scooping out of boredom or a sense of hopelessness/deprivation of interaction. Think using the card stasis with frozen aether on field, while drawing 3-4 cards per turn. You will always hit your land drop to keep stasis online

What else do you need to know? I can post staples if you wish.

>>50663069
I see. Kind of wish I had white available for silence/flicker stuff.

Brago and unearth would be godlike.

>>50663131
I'd like to hear about some staples if you could, not the guy who asked a question but decks that make your opponents want to kill themselves intrigue me.

>>50663268
Yeah, but gotta work with what we have, unless you'd create a 5 or 4 colour deck for that, but nothing supports the idea so far.
At least blue has a few blink things.

>>50663268

In my Sedris deck, buried alive is a 2 card combo with Sedris

I grab some combination of palinchron, corpse connoisseur, archaeomancer, rune scarred demon, or deadeye navigator

If ghostly flicker is in my hand or gy, I unearth palinchron, then unearth archaeomance

A lot of the time if I have ghostly flicker I don't even need buried alive, I unearth a corpse connoisseur for palinchron, unearth palinchron, ghostly flicker them both for more mana and fetch archaeomancer, unearth aracheomancer getting back ghostly flicker, then I have infinite mana + entomb all my creatures so I can just unearth my whole deck

just perform the necessary satanic rituals and incantations to install xmage and play that instead. it monitors rules and most people on woogerworks are decent people. euro server tends to have unresponsive mongoloids though

>>50663697
There's a program called Forge for playing against an AI opponent, it's pretty neat.

>>50663877
Honestly I spent like 10 minutes trying to figure out the setup, and then halfway through entering my deck realized that there were like 10 cards in my deck that wouldn't work on Xmage because they hadn't programmed them yet.

Dropped it like a box of hot rocks.

>>50663832
Its usually a quick way for UGx to end the game

>>50663909
you must be running some pretty spicy jank if xmage doesn't recognize your cards

Also, would padeem be useful in this deck? Since a lot of your slowdown cards are artifacts.

I appreciate it guys!

My biggest advice, having owned this deck for a long time, is to take ADVANTAGE of the time you are making to think of the best plays you can make with the shitload of cards you have in hand. You have the advantage of time, think of it like slow motion in fps games you know, really think about the path to victory,the best targets for removal.

Secondly, run either despotic scepter or claws of gix. I CAN'T stress this enough. You'll run into scenarios, ESPECIALLY with enemy planeswalkers,in which they are benefiting more off the stasis effects than you are. You'll need to use the scepter or the claws to terminate the stasis enabler,or use bounce removal like boomerang (or alternatively, use clever impersonator to copy and benefit too !) To regain control of the situation.

Remember, if all of your opponents scoop, you win ~

>>50664165
Honestly, I'm going to try running it to see how it goes. I haven't played much of kami since I've built endrek or circu, so I haven't been able to try padeem yet. Definately worth a shot though, as a hefty, hefty percentage of the deck are artifacts. The deck Also has many enchantments, keep in mind

>>50659446
Look up how much each of your cards is worth online. Don't trust other player's judgments when it comes to card prices; they might be trying to scam you.

Is this objectively the best partner combination?

>>50664414
As much as "only getting punched in the face once" is objectively the best way to be punched in the face.

>>50664434
So, yes.

>>50664444
Technically "yes", but they're still shit. If I were building a UG deck I can't imagine why I'd want those two as my Commanders over Momir or Zegana or Edric or Ezuri or Kruphix.

>>50663832
Yup, it's a good redundancy for Leyline of Anticipation and Vedalken Orrery, etc.

>>50664498
It's also less vulnerable than either.

>>50664493
It's a nifty combo with Retreat to Coralhelm, I guess.

>>50664528
Yep!

>>50664403
People do tend to call them out for it, though. At least I do.

>>50664575
People like them are the reason I couldn't trade pokemon cards in elementary school. Fuckers.

>>50664685
>tfw just dislike trading in general

I just prefer to keep everything and buy the stuff I need online to expand my pool.

>>50664778
I LIKE trading, but my problem is there's always a huge price disparity. Like I want a 20 dollar card for an EDH deck, and all they want from me is either a couple 2 dollar Standard cards, or my 80 dollar fetchlands.

>99% of cockatrice players don't know the rules

I see way more angry and autistic rules misunderstandings, errors, and shitfits on /tg/ than on cockatrice, so I have to assume you are offending party here

Muh cardfu.

>>50664910
Bargaining's usually easier nowadays, since everyone can just agree to use whatever pricing (TCG Mid, TCG Medium, Starcity, whatever) and look it up, whereas before you'd be going off of price memory or month-old issues of Scry.

The rough part isn't the bargaining, it's when there's like a 50 dollar price difference and they just keep begging me to find other stuff and there isn't anything I want.

>>50664934
To be fair, it's been a while since I used it because it was such a fucking headache arguing with people. It may have changed.

>>50656832
>rewarding opponents with painlands and fetchlands
yeah he's a real genius alright.

>>50664993
she's sadly really overcosted for multiplayer games, though. why bother answering a singular threat for 7 mana when you can cast something game-winning for that same amount of mana? she's somewhat okay in a recur deck but there are better options

>>50656873

What's a card that doesn't function as a card?

>>50665055
Herbal Poultice. Sorrow's Path.

>>50664805
That's easy, Trade the fetchland for the $20 card and $60 worth of weed.

>>50663807
>Its another "everyone's an asshole and an idiot except me" episode

>>50665078

Those are definitely some bad ones

Ludevic tho

Instead of being useless like those, he's actively bad, it's a different kind of way a card cad be dysfunctional

>>50665042
I dunno, it is nice to drop a 5/5 flier while getting rid of that precise one threat you really need gone. Also it is pretty evil if you have ways to blink her in and out multiple times. Anyway, pet card.

>>50665151

Yeah I think people underestimate her, overcosted in edh if you're only gonna use her once because beaters are less valuable than they are in other formats, but she's good as a reanimation target and good with blink value, or as a clone target

>>50664934
He is exaggerating, but I would say it's somewhere between 25%-50% that don't know the rules. That's just counting the sample size of matches that I've spectated.

>>50665078
I get sorrow's path, that's one of the worst designed cards in magic history. Herbal Poultice just seems regular bad, though, nothing super special about it. Am I missing something?

>>50665230
Meh, being the proid owner of an Atraxa beater deck, the more beating the better.

1MB, 3264x1836px

do you think it would be okay if I used pumas as mountain proxies?

>>50665264

Herbal poultice is poor in many ways, it's not worth a whole card to regenerate a single creature one time, it's not worth 3 mana to do it

And the card would be a lot more useful if it cost 3 to play, 0 to activate, instead of the way it is, still bad, but less clunky

>>50665334
I'm sure that's fine, let your opponent know about it pre game though

>>50665334

On one condition:

You only tap them if you control a green or black creature

Coldsnap was on the funnest sets so I usually throw a jank rare from there in my decks. Running pic related in Gitgud and Shape of the Wiitigo in Zegana.

>>50665088
Not anon you're quoting but clearly you've never played on cockatrice.

>>50665591
I have. The premise is the same. If everyone else is an asshole and an idiot. You're probably the asshole and the idiot.

>>50665621
He's not wrong though. Commander players on cockatrice vent their frustrations highly tuned and expensive netdecks.

Ashen rider is almost strictly better in EDH though.

>>50663131

My pet card is pretty fun. Absolutely bananas in Ghave, or with ooze flux, or with anything that can give it toughness. Pariah's shield is pretty hilarious on it.

>>50666132
Or you know, Ulamog.

>>50666267
Yep. Was even erratad back in the day to prevent a twin-esque combo.

>>50666267
Theoretically.

Technically speaking you'd have to activate it a lot of times in a row, and resolve each flip (you could theoretically just skip all of the ones after you have 'enough' unless something cares about the outcomes of the flips), and then you have to live until your next upkeep.

>>50666302
Ulamog doesn't trigger when cheated onto the field, which is how 99% of Ashen Riders/Angels of Despair are gonna get there.

>>50666345
>Twin-esque combo
There is a world of difference between "End of your turn, flash in this guy, untap, win" and "winning on turn 5 assuming your opponent has no enchantment destruction"

>>50666708
In the meantime, Rosheen Meanderer.

>>50666764
There are literally zero black Hydras.

>>50666788
For actual functionality, probably OG Olivia.

If you want to include maximum vampires, Garza Zol.

>>50666805

That's a bummer.

>>50666849
How is it a bummer? It doesn't make any sense for there to be a black hydra, unless it was like, a Zombie Hydra or some shit.

>>50666302
Not blinkable, not cheatable.

>>50666861

There are zombie versions of like everything else.

>>50666898
My guess is that it doesn't make sense with a Hydra. Thematically speaking their whole thing is they don't "die". You have to completely obliterate it in one go, or it just regenerates/grows more heads/whatever, so there's never an actual Hydra corpse TO reanimate.

Or the fact that they pretty much 'require' raw mana funneled into them to function, so reanimating a hydra corpse is useless (kinda like using Reanimate on most ACTUAL Hydras)

>>50666957

I love this guy. Toss first strike on him and he's a fucking nightmare.

>>50666957
I really don't think it could've been. Hydras are green's go-to "big dudes" anymore, because they're very... green. They're primal and strong and ALIVE; that's their whole big deal, is they refuse to fucking die, and if you half-ass your attempt they just get stronger. A black hydra would be like a mono-green demon or a mono-red Sphinx.

>>50666708
Or from the next commander precon if it's ally pairs, also a kavu.
Basically I'd like to see, in no particular order:
RG- Hydra and kavu
WG- elephant and knight or somthing
UW- bird and I don't know
UB- assassin/rogue and spirit
BR- demon/devil and elemental

>>50666861
Zombie or fungus hydra maybe

>>50666267
>>50666345
>>50666499
How? If you lose the flip, don't the others get countered since Efreet isn't on the field anymore?

>>50667114
You just put an arbitrarily large number of the ability on the stack since it's free.

>>50666536
Forgot Chance Encounter costs 5 not 4. Still, I imagine it's comparable to twin in the power level of the day

>>50667114
Since when does the source of an ability have to exist for the ability to resolve?
