MTG EDH/Commander General

I run a very strong Brago list, but it has the same problem that every Brago deck does: it's incredibly boring.

What should I convert it to that's slightly less reliant on the commander? GAAIV seems like a good choice, but I'd be willing to go tricolour if the deck is fun enough. I'm just looking for a deck that will slowly make people lose their will to live, but wont fold the second the commander is countered twice.

>How do you lay down the law?
At some point I realized countering 3 other players spells wasn't an option, so instead of going after their spells on the stack I went after the mana they used to cast them.

Please help me make my burn deck playable.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/set-your-shit-on-fire/

I don't care much about winning big games, I just want to set everyone's shit on fire.

Recently switched commander to Akroma to try her out. I generally have a lot of red mana hanging around and a firebreathing commander sounded fun.

Thinking about switching to Hidetsugu, but I need to trade for him.

reposting my Nekusar wheel deck from the last thread. Any thoughts/recommendations from people? Some combos and spicy deck tech I should put in?

Well. Sedris reanimator sounds sweet tho.

Why not just ashling the pilgrim as a commander?

How good is Rosheen Meanderer as a commander? Is she pure jank/hydra tribal or is she actually good?

>>50696003
yes. this is exactly the theme im looking for.

Pic related and All is Dust in my colorless deck. Priceless.

>>50696168
I mean since shes RG you can only really do hydra tribal and fireball/board clear spells. Not much else you can do with her. That being said, she is an interesting RG commander.

>>50696073
Playability is low, because there's better RG options.

Fun is high, because X spells and hydras, plus you get to name your deck 「 X G O N ' G I V E I T T O Y A 」

Might just get her because of how fun she sounds.

I used to be the only one who did it. And then Iost because I would waste all my ressources on keeping people in check, while everyone else just masturbated. So now I just try to go off before the rest gets to do their "fun stuff".

Hey gA, if I give a creature flash, say heartless hidestugu, does it also have haste, or do normal summoning rules still apply?

Can I tap that bitch on my opponent's turn the turn it comes out, assuming it has flash?

>>50695765
>how do you lay down the law?

>>50696703
Nope, it loses the sickness after the first of your upkeeps during which you already controlled the critter. So flashing doesn't grant haste, but makes it be tappable as soon as you start your next turn.

>>50696703
Flash doesn't do any more than it says- it lets you cast the spell under the same timing restrictions as an instant. It won't naturally give Haste; but it will let you flash in Hidetsugu at the end of your opponent's turn so he's ready to go during your turn.

>>50695877
UW in general is incredibly boring. Good luck anon.

>>50696730
>>50696732
Thanks comrades, I wanted to set up some filthy flash shenanigans, but now I just need to do it on my endstep instead of in the middle of combat. Slightly less cute, but still functional.

>>50696006
Sedris is out-fucking-standing as a deck that abuses ETBs. Things like Panharmonicon in him are just disgusting.

>>50696730
>after the first of your upkeeps during which you already controlled
Not quite. "Summoning sickness" applies to all your permanents (not that it DOES anything to noncreatuers) unless you've controlled them continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.

GAAIV is what you want but be warned it is the friendship killer, shit is the most boring thing to play against.

So for summoning sickness purposes you consider beginning of the turn and not upkeep, got it.

Rate, hate, appreciate? I wanted this to be a mid-tier budget Lazav deck with a splash of tactical wheeling, but I have "deck builder's glasses" and I can't quite separate the jank from the nonjank.

As a note, I know there aren't any colourless rocks, the idea is to pop lazav t4 as many games as possible, because I know he sucks to remove, and instead of skimping on the deck for the landbase, I did the opposite and hoped my omnirocks would fix things.

Did someone say "bullshit low cost cards that can completely fuck over certain types of decks"? I nominate Urabrask lite. Why? Well, it may not be as flashy, it may not be back braking, but holy shit-covered-toast batman has it won me a lot of games.

I need a 5-color deck. What should I build lads?

>>50697202
I mean, Blind Obedience does almost the same for 1 cheaper (and is much harder to kill), and Kismet does a lot more for 1 more mana, and is much harder to kill.

it's great. in 1v1, they think they're shutting me down.

people are starting to really make faces when i bring her out though. i think it's almost time to put her up on the shelf until people forget how it works.

Jesus christ, why don't more people run it?

Yes, enchantments are generally harder to remove, but Thalia fits an important niche. She not only slows your opponent down by tapping their creatures and fancy lands, she also throws a body out there to soak up damage until you can play fancier things.

>>50697389
>Throws out a body
On a 3/2 in Commander, that is a detriment more than it is a boon.

>>50697405
Because as soon as it appears in a playgroup people stop feeling that it's worth it to play anything graveyard-related, possibly leading to a lessened variance in the meta.

>>50697325
Just so I understand that right the combo is: sac breya + thopters to altar then pay four for nim, effectively creating infinite mana, then shooting the table by creating infinite thopters to sacrifice with breya? I need to try that.

I like child of alara because you get to build whatever deck you want in 5c without trying to build under a commander's ability too much cuz your commander is just a boardwipe instead of a linchpin.

>>50697443
Yeah. Pop the Thopters for CCCC, pop Breaya for CC and use 4 of your 6 floating to get her back. Net gain: 2 mana. Repeat several thousand times, then start JUST saccing her, paying the 2 you made and 2 from your reserves to bring her back, netting 2 Thopters each time. Once you have enough thopters, start throwing them at people.

>>50697402
>3/2 first strike
>more a detriment than a boon
Depends on many factors, but mostly, whether or not you're in a creature heavy meta. I've never had a problem personally, but I have a different philosophy about these sorts of things. In general, if someone is wasting removal on something I played t3, that's a good thing because it means they're going to have less removal for my better stuff.

Unban when? Make r/w chaos great.

>>50697232
Authority of the consuls is 2 cheaper and does a lot of work too, + lifegain. Harder to kill than Thalia too.

>>50697534
>Wasting removal
No, you can't move the goalposts like that. If you're playing her as a cheap way to disrupt your opponent, then making her the single most vulnerable card type is a WEAKNESS, not a strength. If you're playing her to disrupt your opponent, her 'ability' to chump block is not much of a perk, because you only chump with her if you HAVE to (and your opponent's not gonna be poking at you with a 2/2 utility guy while a 3/2 first striker is there). She's small enough that all she'll really do is ward off a couple of early utility-pokes, or sponge up one big hit, but that's not the ideal situation.

Even in a creature-light meta (which aren't very common), it's not necessarily that they'll "waste removal" on her, or you'll be forced to chump; it's the fact that she's so likely to just be INCIDENTALLY hit by a Wrath effect, whereas Kismet or Blind Obedience wouldn't.

>>50697443
>>50697504
yes exactly. it is some of the most fun i have had ruining magic.

save all your counter-spells for that moment too. the looks on people's faces is priceless.

>>50697630
Eh. I won't fault you for it, but I tried to make a combo-laden artifact deck with Sydri and I fucking hated it. I'd get my free wins out of nowhere (I had multiple 2 and 3 card instant-win combos in the deck), but I hated winning that way. I don't like games to end all at once like that, even when I'm winning them.

>>50697661
I feel the same way, I used to run test of endurance, felidar sovereign, leyline of anticipation and vedalken orrery in Oloro. Just made games very boring.

>>50697661
I'm building an artifact control deck so I can switch commanders between sen triplets, sharuum and sydri. The one thing I want to do is shoot the entire table for 50 each with lifelink aetherflux reservoir.

>>50697710
I mean, I -put- instant-win stuff into most of my decks, but it's a Nuclear Option. They literally exist for the purposes of "This game needs to be over" when nobody's willing to just scoop so we can go eat, or they're some convoluted six-card combo that can easily be disrupted so it takes some setup to get to that point.

I don't like "win all at once" because it feels, to me, like it invalidates the whole game up to that point. I know there's the whole "Bait their disruption, find out what's safe, etc etc, then go off" 'dance' and all, but when you're literally resolving one spell and saying "This game, which was not in immediate danger of ending, will end if nobody has 4 counterspells in their hand right now to stop this AND my 3 counterspells"... it sucks. It's like someone walking over halfway through a fun game and knocking over the table. Yeah, it's over now, but not in a fun or interesting way.

I'm looking for suggestions for more commanders like these. Where they are very open ended when it comes to the deckbuilding and also have a high amount of variance in gameplay between games. I posted this a few threads ago and got told Maelstrom Wanderer fits but I didn't update the pic to include him

>>50697799
Honestly even for a 'landfall matters' deck I think Plated Geopede is pretty mediocre.

>>50697874
Wanderer does not remotely fit for 'open ended when it comes to deckbuilding'. I don't feel like Riku is, either. With Wanderer you build it with dumb shit to cascade into and ways to get Wanderer back into your hand to be recast. With Riku you just do big dumb shit to copy.

>>50697591
Fair enough, like I said, Kismet is a super spicy meatball, I was very impressed, but blind obedience doesn't tap down nonbasics in addition to creatures, even though. I had to think real hard, because I play in a silly meta full of rich fucks with fancy lands, and those few tempo plays you can squeeze out are extremely nice, but niche. The only other thing I use thalia for is stopping Kiki-Jiki combos, but those other thing would too. I guess I'm much more worried about chumping a big swing, or deterring an attack for a few turns to set up my real control.

That being said, I admit some colours have more problems dealing with enchantments than others. I personally run a shitload of enchantments just for that purpose, but where I use Thalia is in Uril, with my buddy Urabrask, so I can understand how I'm a little biased.

>>50697876
It's not amazing, but it's a beater that comes down early. I've had game where I had Oboro or Ghost Town with an Exploration effect and it's consistently been a 3/3 or 5/5 first striker.

>>50698025
And is "consistently a 3/3 first striker" really worth a slot in an EDH deck?

>>50698044
Look, it fits into my theme and curve. I'm pretty happy with it's performance so far.

>>50697799
You're opponents are dumb.

Mr edh stands guy can you give me one for atarka world render 1HKO combat tricks. The deck also has a lot of other dragons but I wouldn't call it a tribal deck.

>>50697735
The Sydri combo is neat, but not that necessary honestly. I run the reservoir in Oloro, and the infinity part is hardly needed if your lifegain is going well.

In my experience, trying to juggle artifact control and lifelink in 1 esper deck results in the deck not being all that good at any of them.

That's why I split my deck (had the same idea as you) into Oloro lifelink control and sen triplets/Sharuum artifact control with a blink and steal subtheme.

>>50697228
Scion of the Ur-Dragon. In Dominaria, rainbow taste you.

>>50697440
>>50697405

Also it's very unsatisfying to play it if you have any recursion yourself, so generally only competitive decks and specialized hate decks are interested in it

>>50698228
Not him but what about「 T H U N D E R S T R U C K 」?

>>50697997
You know, bant funpolice sounds like a sweet deck.

Jenara or derevi. as a commander, tutors to find the fun police cards and lots of counters and pillowfort.

>>50698044

The higher the number of cheap (1-3 cmc) creatures you run that also do a thing, I.e Thalia or Aven Mindcensor, the better any overrun or pseudo overrun effects you play will be, you can kill two birds with one stone so to speak

You've pointed out the downside which is that they die to board wipes and the most common type of spot removal, I'm just saying that it's a trade off, not a strict negative for hate effects to be attached to creatures in edh

Another benefit of creatures is that they have more support in terms of flickering, sac/reanimating, cheating into play, and cloning, than other card types

That doesn't apply to Thalia but I'm just talking in general, creatures have huge upside, so to be balanced compared to artifacts and enchantments they need the huge downside of being easiest to destroy

How the fuck does EDHREC come up with their 'synergy' numbers?

Also, I am having mild regret making this Kemba deck after working on a Breya deck. At least no one expects the white counterspells.

>>50697630
Why bother with counters, just use a time seive and if they counter/stifle it reanimate that shit with your artifact recursion.

I'm working on an eggs-y, storm-y, affinity-y Akiri deck and I play all the typical eggs you see in most lists. I'm wondering if I should play all the artifacts that etb and draw a card, though. Most notable ones I've never seen anybody play are Metalspinner's Puzzleknot (I have Silas as her partner but I may switch to another commandee, idk yet, Thrasios would help do-nothing-ness and provide card flow) and Tsabo's Web. I mostly feel like like the deck is kind of do-nothing and can feel it's fragility even when goldfishing. And Akiri just doesn't get big enough fast enough to make up for it, and I play all the 0 drop and x artifacts too. So I'm thinking maybe playing all cantripping artifacts will help card flow.

>>50698544

The synergy of a card on, for instance, the Breya deck page, is the ratio of the percentage of Breya decks that run that card relative to the percentage of other decks that run it, that run it, if that makes sense

So take all the decks that run the card, let's say Ashnod's altar, sort them by the commander. If Breya decks run Ashnod's altar 50% of the time, and the rest of the commanders that run Ashnod's altar run it like 45% of the time on average, then Ashnod's has +5% synergy with breya

>>50698617

Short answer: yes

Long answer: how did you think you were going to play an eggs deck without cheap artifacts that cantrip?

>>50698617
partnerher with silais, you can play cranial plating and basically give her 2x damage that stacks with double strike

>>50697874
Mimeoplasm, maybe.

>>50698670
I put all the ones that everyone already plays, or in other words, I already do play cheap artifacts that can trip. But of course most lists don't literally every single one that draws a card since most lists seem to focus on the ones that also filter/provide mana. I don't see stuff like thr given examples of the Puzzleknot and Tsabo's Web in eggs decks, though the Puzzleknot is fairly new. It seems like while goldfishing it'd really help to have more artifacts that draw a card to help give me card flow so I can keep doing things. But I don't know if they're good enough since no one plays literally all artifacts that do that.

>>50698706
Already play Silas and he also kind of helps with giving me things to do with an empty hand but I don't always have an artifact that sacs itself and he isn't always a reliable source. But it's hard to play an artifact combo deck without black even if Thrasios would really help.

>>50698228
I'll throw my hat into the ring.

HELL BENT FOR LEATHER

>>50698733
The puzzleknots are weaker than regular eggs because they are meant to be used in tandem with multiple panharmonichons. Use them if you want though.

>>50698228
「 W H E N T H E B U L L E T H I T S T H E B O N E 」

man idk

>>50698930
Playing it would be literally just for the 2: draw a card artifact really. It can save itself too which is convenient but it's pretty must that its a cantripping artifact. I don't know I've been brainstorming this deck for a while but now that I have it together it feels like I do a whole lot of nothing while swinging with maybe 5-7/3 first strike dude 90% of the time. I don't know why I expect anything else from a deck furniture of do-nothing 0 and X = 0 artifacts but meh. I'm really unimpressed with Akiri. I got excited when I realised she was cranial plating but the appeal of plating is being able to put it on a signal pest, ornithopter, or vault akirge or somethjng. She will win every combat forever because of Vigilance+ first strike but I really she had had evasion to actually get through.

>>50698641
I see.
I was hoping for something a little more complex. Right now it feels like everything is being badly skewed by all the preconstructed decks people are uploading with just a handful of cards changed.

It's not skewed so much as that is what the average person is playing with those commanders normally. And I don"t think it's too far off basis from the 6 or 7 metas I'm apart of.

Use a sfm, tutor up a sword of vengence and trample over them. Then blink your sfm to pull more equipment from the deck for value. Also swords of protection will help your silias get through for gy purposes so the sfm is pulling double duty depending how you need to hit then

QUESTION TO THE THREAD:

I'm building an RPG setting where combat will be done through EDH games. I'm looking for deck ideas that are mid-tier or lower which would give them a challenge but not blow them out. It will be 3 players: One who is decent at deckbuilding mostly playing midrange/swing wide decks, One control player who plays a lot of blue, and one player who just kinda herp derps around but really wanted to try an RPG system.

Example so far:
-Athreos, God of Passage with a Rebels and Mercenaries theme.
-Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor milling with option for Lab Maniac.
-Selvala, Explorer Returned: Group Hug / Group Life Gain
-Jori En, Ruin Diver: Merfolk tribal lords with copy creature effects.

Any Planeswalker, Legendary Creature, the Nephilim are options for commanders.

Any suggestions?

It's easy to say that but am is just one card. It's just not that easy. I was liking the concept for this deck because the voltron was kind of the side plan you just coincidentally had the ability to do since you'd storm off with eggs and 0 drop artifacts since the idea was that Akiri would make those cards not purely chaff, she made them do something. But it's just not enough. But to make the voltron work and not just be a mid size dork that the abysses one person a turn it feels like I read have to dedicate a lot more cards to it, and voltron is not even that great to begin with which it was the plan b initially to eggs/cheeri0s storm is combo.

I was actually thinking of putting him in. Doesn't help card flow but it's good with the overall breakfast gameplay.

Fireweaver probably doesn't fix that but I do like him.

He's very powerful

>>50700002
I thought about forcing them to start out playing Pauper decks but I reconsidered it due to the herp derp player being horrible at deck building anything that works (30 lands in an EDH deck with a AvgCMC of 5 to 6). They will be able to change out their cards after sleeping at an Inn. I'm going to use Pauper/Budget decks for the generic NPCs they will encounter and janky EDH Decks for the more relevant NPCs.

how would you build around her?

>>50700688
You don't.

She goes in an Izzet based artifact deck or Breya. About it.

Is there anything akin to Kor Spiritdancer but for artifacts/equips? I run her in my Sigarda enchantress, she's a good secondary wincon if I can't summon Sigarda or I need to start building up a creature before my commander can hit the board.

I'm working on an Atraxa Voltron deck (because I have to be different) and am looking for a secondary creature to start slapping stuff on if things get hot. So far, it appears Golem-Skin Gauntlets is the only card with such an effect. So I'm guessing Serra Ascendant is my best bet.

>>50700688

There's an infinite combo around her but because she can't be commander I don't think it would be wise to build around it.

Uh....Ghave, chasm skulker, hangarback, mycoloth, pentavus, twilight drover are all pretty good token generators, and with all the tutors I can grab cathars' crusade to make them make as many creatures as I have mana.

I guess you could get things like Sakura-Tribe scout, land sacrifice and things that can pull lands from graveyards live splendid reclamation.

I think that's what you need to decide. I went infect with +1/+1 counters, and while I like it, and it's devious as all hell when it all gets up and running, it's definitely a weak infect deck, or a weaker counter deck otherwise.

Finding that perfect delicate balance is just difficult.

>>50701406
Well I think everyone is sick of poison after my varloz deck, considering that I dismantled it for that exact reason. (turn 2 lethal...ugh)
And I don't wanna do superfriends.

Yet, you continue to posture and call me "bro" rather than produce any form of proof to verify your claim, while also moving the goal posts.

Do you have a list I could look at? How did you make sure you got an infect creature instead of one of the many dead draws you're running? What did you use to put things into the yard?

I own a valroz, I have the suite of infect creatures, and if you're doing something more effective, I might consider rebuilding it. But, when I built it, you either floundered for an infect creature the entire game, or played a strong early game, moderate mid game, and a hilariously ineffective late game.

>>50701670
Depends entirely on your commander. I posted my Lazav list a little earlier in the thread for the same general thing, but I caution strongly against both self-mill and regular mill as a wincon. Unless you're doing something you know will be effective, you're going to have a bad time.

I'd recommend the usual suspects like Geth, Havengul Lich, Dimir Doppleganger, and all the normal reanimator nonsense. Wheels are super effective at getting things into the yard in the first place.

honestly the massive circle jerk that is EDH could use a little bit of spike mixed in. the its ok to play poorly then get salty as fuck when you lose bull shit gets old quick

>>50703519
No one said anything about playing poorly. Build casually play competitively used to be the EDH mantra.

The only thing killing commander is printing commander cards designed for timmys and spikes. You end up with busted bullshit like atraxa when you try to appeal to both of these players.

Hoping you guys might know : Where's a good place to get custom tokens from, IE provide your art and they make 'em?

I don't have a printer or I'd just do it myself.

>>50703519
Oh you must've ended up in the wrong thread. I think >>50653654 is what you were looking for

>>50703651
And appealing to Johnnys by purposefully making combo peices would be better?

>>50703626
building casually is cool but there are a very large amount of people who think casual play means being bad should be overlooked. like people who get mad about infect but dont have a single creature with a CMC less than 4 or people who get angry about infinite combos even though they can be easily stopped. these same people will generally sperg out if they see a duel land even though they make pretty much 0 difference through the course of the game. good players can get around basically anything in EDH

>>50703738
No but breya, nekusar, prossh, omnath and many other commanders were printed so its more a matter of picking one playstyle and making it balanced for that playstyle instead of scattershotting and printing nuts cards.

>>50703720
no i just dont think people should be shat on for trying to win in a format when trying to win actively makes you lose more due to everyone targeting you

>>50703743
You know I hear lots of talk of this super-casual boogeyman but never run into them. I do often run into people (some in this thread) who are unable to understand when they're bringing a gun to a knife fight. I'm starting to suspect this casual boogeyman you describe is projecting from someone bringing a tryhard deck to a low power meta and people getting grumpy at this person when they insist on running rampant over everyone.

>>50703306
Bazinga

Is there such a thing as a Green 2-or-3-colored spellslinging commander? (Wherein the green isn't just for ramp)

>>50703519
There's nothing wrong with wanting to win, but the issue is when it becomes the point of playing. Like, if you're trying to make a vintage/legacy singleton deck, you're probably in the wrong format.
There's also something to be said for tuning a deck or building around an idea similar to what your playgroup is at. Like if they're all casual as hell, maybe not good players, etc, you're just an asshole if you bring some $3k stax deck.

It's also just as bad when people say shit like "lol it's just a GAME man!" and don't put much thought or effort into what they're doing.

Something my friends and I do is just set a price limit on decks, right about $200. (Not including additional cost from foils and shit, obviously) It's worked pretty well at keeping an even power level while also letting people run a lot of different decks.

>>50703885

there has been at least one giga casual in almost every play group that i have ever played with. the most recent one was a guy who wanted everyone to have a 150 per deck maximum which we were all cool with but when we wanted to play with our actual deck he would freak the fuck out because there was "no way a 100 dollar deck could beat a 500 dollar deck" even though that happens quite literally all the time in EDH. maybe i just have bad luck with play groups and players but those types of players get old quick

It all really depends on your environment. At my LGS there are a mixtures of timmys, spikes, and Johnny's. We all play decks of varying powerlevel and we adjust accordingly depending on who's playing.

If two guys are playing prossh, marath, and nekusar, I'll probably pull out Azami and be a dick. If I see weird things like Lovisa, Karlov, or Zo-zu, I'll pull out something low powered like Oriss.

It's all about your meta and how you adjust. If there's things you don't like, tell them. We're all human and if someone isn't having fun, then a lot of people are going to be adamant about changing that. Commander is probably the best format for those seeking interactivity over win/loss ratios.

The format is healthy enough where all types of players can thrive. It really just depends on your meta and how willing you are to talk to your fellow players.

>There's nothing wrong with wanting to win, but the issue is when it becomes the point of playing

i get what your saying and i agree but its my experience that people generally cant tell the difference between the two and assume that everyone who likes to win only plays to win when more often than not its just because that guy is better at magic. EDH has big enough deck, spands every set, and the fact that its multiplayer should allow you to deal with basically everything with any decently built deck no matter what the budget is 90% of the time. people who act like you cant do that are just ad at the game or dont want to put minimal effort into not losing

>>50703885
i am convinced that that one red blue wizard dude and the green blue bitch that taps for mana based on your card draw partners can fulfil this but i have not tested enough and brewed enough to make it happen yet

or you can just play riku

>>50703993
The only thing that really rustles my jimmies are focused land destruction. A couple spells don't bother me, but when it's T4 and steam vines are out and you just cast stone rain, I am not going to be happy.
That and people who play decks that only exist to exile bullshit, like that one legendary whose name I forget that exiles four cards from each opponent and then lets you cast them for free.

>>50703993
>and the fact that its multiplayer should allow you to deal with basically everything with any decently built deck no matter what the budget is 90% of the time. people who act like you cant do that are just ad at the game or dont want to put minimal effort into not losing

That's not true. Entire color combos fold to certain strats. Better hope you find your Gate to Phyrexia in your mono-black deck against artifacts or better hope that the blue player doesn't draw their massive card advantage spells against you with your RW deck. And it's mathematically absurd to think that in a singleton format someone will have an answer to a problematic play at any given point.

>>50704060
land destruction only makes people mad because they dont put ways to deal with it in their decks and refuse to do so generally in my experience

>>50704098
Okay, how do you deal with land destruction in a couple cards?

>>50704080
well obviously your not going to be able to counter everything because that would make playing magic pointless. im just saying that the things that make people mad are often easily countered. its like if your meta is enchantment heavy you play enchantment hate. if someone in your meta uses land destruction for example you should be playing around that instead of getting mad about it

you cant win every time and sometimes things are going to fuck you over, get used to it because thats magic

>>50704126
Obviously you stuff every deck with crucible of worlds and run in colors with access to green and you just olay legacy singleton.

>counter spells
Because you'll always be able to counter everything from a deck running 15-20+ land destruction spells, or even lands that destroy other lands and then they pull them back from the GY.

>Protection from X
So every deck ought to be running mycosynth and darksteel forge and ways to tutor them out, as well as ramp to get them in play before the LD deck gets going?

>>50704170
No. If you feel the need to ban too early of victories find a turn limit. Either way people who get there wincon are just going to sit there until time is up and then win immediately.

>>50704170

bro are you fucking retarded? you cant do anything in EDH everytime for everything because thats just not how magic in general works. that in no way doesnt mean you shouldnt try or put answers to common powerful threat in your decks. did i in some way insinuate that you can do everything every time with 100% success in any post i have made or are you just dense? stop moving the goal post anon

>implying UGx decks are all good.

Nigga if u aint Leo, Tasi or Fish partner, UGx aint good, we should just correct that meme to BUGx.

(Edric is obviously a UG deck, but it's not what people mean when they say UGx deck because it wins with attacking)

Once you know somebody has an MLD focused deck, if you don't want your lands to be blown up, you need a plan

If you run counterspells, you'd certainly LIKE to counter other things, but if you know MLD is coming and you can't beat it, you need to save your counterspells

If you're running a deck that can't beat MLD AND doesn't have counterspells, you need another plan, OR you can just accept that magic has a bit of Rock Paper Scissors to it, and not all matchups work for you

>>50704457
ok man, sure thing. i guess thats why i never see anyone with a deck that isnt UG because they are the only colors that have answers to things right?

>>50704487
The best plan is to not play with that person because ain't no fun to be had.

>>50704588
In a all competitive EDH meta, turn two wins are unlikely. the length of the game becomes about the same as a not-intentionally-slowed-down game of noncomp EDH.

In a non-competitive meta, yes it's dumb/cancerous/shitty to bring an Ad Naus Mucktide Leovold list, because literally no one will have fun. It's not fun to play with a comp deck against non-comp decks (unless there are prizes, in which case, do whatever, but i'm assuming we're talking about among friends).

I love my Jhoira deck but my group refuse to bring enough removal or counters to stop her and that makes her unfair to them.

In one of my recent games with her my friend asked if he could counter something as it comes out of suspend. I tell him thats the only time to counter it and he says greats and taps out all his mana because my Jokulhaups has 3 counters on it. On his endstep I hit that shit with a Fury Charm so it goes off on my upkeep.

What is people's deal with fucking Atraxa. I don't fucking get it. She's the most popular but Breya is easily the strongest of the new 4 color commanders. But people can't make that distinction and automatically assume Atraxa is the best?

Holy shit, next fucking level

>>50705529

If you don't play with infinite combos in your playgroup, which is something that happens somewhat frequently in edh playgroups, then atraxa seems like the best new commander.

Although I think it's funny that Breya is so good at killing yidris and atraxa and saskia

>>50705529
Non Red is a better Color Combo than non green.

Plus Atraxa is cool with PWs and people like PWs.

Breya is obviously the best card of the 4c commanders, but that doesn't mean she lends herself to as many deck types as the other dudes.

I've seen Atraxa Boonweaver, stax, enchantress, Superfriends, food chain.
But Breya Eggs and Breya Infinite mana (eggs is a variant of infinite mana anyways, just with cuter cards) are about the only Breya decks i've seen.

>>50705529
I actually think Yidris > Breya > Atarxa > the other 2

Breya is the most satisfying to play though imo.

>>50705557
>>50705567
Yeah but look at the post I replied to. It implied Atraxa was better than the others because it was broken. I agree that she has the better 4 color combination and that she lends herself to mroe decks if only because an end step proliferate is a pretty meager reward that gives you a little direction but not enough to force you into any one thing and her being a pretty efficient dude means she's always decent. But I didn't get the impression that was how that poster thought Atraxa was the best.

>>50705604
