I have Wheel.dek, currently Grixis but with some Green cards I could just slot in.

Would I be better off sticking with Nekusar as commander, or with changing to UBRG and Kydele and Vial Smasher (i.e., just Kydele)? Nekusar is just such a huge removal magnet, it really feels like the deck just has to work without him.
>>
>>50799567
I dunno I kinda like those two together.
>>
>>50798856
I have to go to sleep but I should have it ready tomorrow, don't have it up on anything but tappedout

Basically it forces everyone into drawing a bunch during either upkeep or draw step and then punishes them for it by way of massive life loss for the draw. My meta is casual so they don't have tons of answers for the stuff I use but it can catch new people off-guard when I bust it out

The deck itself is pretty great, just setting up, like, a Waste Not and an Underworld Dreams and wheeling everybody to death is a ton of fun. But Nekusar... every single time I cast him, it feels like he lives all of one turn before someone guns his undead ass down because they can see it coming. He's everything the deck wants to do in one packaged, which is great in theory, but he effectively just does NOTHING almost every time because everybody knows that, and he's slow.

Kydele similarly lets me go crazy if I untap with her, but has a lower, easier casting cost, and would probably be considered a lesser threat, AND doesn't feel quite so bad to cast if my board isn't already set up. But I dunno if that's wishful thinking.

Honestly, I just feel newzuri is boring and uninspired compared to the other fun commanders in U/G

Plus any deck that can win just by drawing 1 card that combos infinitely with its commander is fucking lame.

Why is there no Nekusar, the Mindrazer? Jhoira of the Ghitu? I feel so unrepresented.

>>50800894
Run double damage effects and build a strong wall/aggressive and big bodies then force your opponents to navigate combat hell.

Alt. pillow fort with chaos, then use her ability to watch all hell break loose. But that's the more cancerous option.

>I have a job where I get to act like a badass and people respect me because I look serious

What deck should I build lads? Bosh seems rad, particularly with some sort of ramp setup into flinging giant robots, and The Mimeoplasm is both a dinosaur and a slime monster, but I'm open to suggestions.
>>
>>50800886
To each their own, I'll never understand newzuri. The only way I like him is infect.

>>50800894
Double damage, double strike, multiple Combat phases, combat tricks. Try to put your opponents in a tight spot where they can't "IN RESPONSE " you when you decide to swing at them for 32 commander in the air.

Force utility creatures and creature combo pieces to attack, and block with your bigger creatures. If they decide to swing utility creatures at other opponents, Make sure you've got all your "everything does double damage"enchantments out to do the most damage possible.

Also manabarbs, sunforger, etc
>>
>>50801049
I love self mill mimeo into incredibly difficult to deal with scenarios (mimeo is a 13/13 invisible stalker, or 17/17 simic sky swallower, good luck! )

But I heard bosh is pretty cool too. If you like bosh, I'm sure you'd love brion stoutarm. That guy is baller. If you want giant robot route, go for something voltron.

Trying to brew a sort of Artificer tribal deck, with a Wizard subtheme.

Muzzio is also a good call, or arcum.
I think padeem or Muzzio are your best bets. Rayne is cool too!

Umm.. damia? Maybe ith, high arcanist. Riku of two reflections? What you asked for earlier seems mono blue.
>>
>>50801199
I know mono blue seems a no brainer for it, but there are a lot of Artificers that aren't blue.
Having it be multicolored makes it more flavorful, I think.

>>50801056
All great ideas, and it sounds fairly interesting to build. The one question is that if I'm running Sunforger, how many instants am I going to be using to avoid conflicting with Basandra's abilities?

>>50801035
I am in a meta with nothing but cancer. Grand Abolisher is going in regardless.

I think you'd like isamaru. Super simple, put armor and swords on the dog early and swing for the fences.


But as far as most mecha goes... you can try voltron muzzio, run plenty of equipments, swords, ways to give vigilance(so he can attack each turn AND activate his ability. Run artificers that tap for 2 colorless (only for artifacts or to activate abilities of artifacts. This works for equipping) I have a friend who calls it his mecha deck, because muzzio literally builds a mech as the game progresses,and beats people to death as a giant war machine.

Breya actually isn't an artificer persay, creature type she is a plain old human. Mishra would be another option if you had the cash to spend to make him worth a damn

Well, I know what memnarch is going to become. I just wish he looked more like a robot, or some edgy monster of some sort, but that's small potatoes, the deck is going to be kick ass. The dog sounds more stylish, but how does one overcome whites horrible card draw?

>>50801309
Oh, that's very stylish anon. Do you think it's strong enough to do what I need? I mean, vigilance and first strike is nice, but the partner part scares me a bit.

>>50801351

>>50801564
Yeah, I don't know what to tell you. I like the partners route more than breya, but I'd still stick with mono U muzzio voltron for kicks, or the most clear choice of azami. Your call in the end.

>>50801551
Yeah, mono white suffers pretty heavily in card draw. The best there is for mono W equipment draw would be puresteel paladin, I think


And yeah, sorry all for the unpopular opinion (>>50801354), I live in WI ,and our lgs isn't the largest. It's filled to the brim on edh nights now with new c16 players all with 1 deck only. I'm looking forward to when (if) they all expand their horizons to other decks.

Honestly, the family really wasnt cool about it, most of them are Roman catholic and were super shitty to him for a long time, seeing sexuality as black or white compared to the 'spectrum' it's accepted as now. He got harassed and told he needs to change or he'll go to hell and all that. But nowadays he's doing better and the family is coming around. I've always been accepting of him, and always will be.

Yeah, I taught him how to play way back. He's better than me at this point I think, mostly because he's got more spike in him,where I'm mostly johnny. Im very glad I get to share this hobby with him, I'm lucky honestly. I even have my girlfriend into it! (She has Queen marchesa, kemba, oona, aurelia, dromoka)

>>50801692

for the equipment route, i like mask of memory, sword of fire and ice, mask of riddles, and skullclamp

skullclamp is so good that any mostly white equipment deck is going to need it as a consistent source of draw

pairs well with stoneforge mystic, steelshaper's gift, etc

you just need to dedicate some dorks and tokens to the strat, its a package, not just a card

>>50801464
Just pair akiri with a partner that helps her, with the most obvious example being silas renn. Since you're edh will revolve around artifacts, it'll be easier fixing your mana through mana rocks. Throw in mana rocks, artifact lands, equips, utility artifact creatures, artifacts that help(such as sensei's divining top) artifact tokens, etc, and akiri will get big fast. She only costs 2 mana, so she'll be easy to recast. Silas will be more of a support role, mainly recovering artifacts.

Grandeur is for sure only a 1 enemy kill and like you said even then, but usually it knocks them low enough that other people take them out. Most players tend to overlook zedruu since she's not in your face scary, and will politake people out for you. Plus you get 20 life out of it so, no complaints.

Transcendence is trickier but if you're about to die you pop that shit and not only DON'T lose but also win.

I can't count the number of times I've won without even Zedruu and just using a bazaar trader with liquimetal coating and some nasty enchantments.
>>
>>50803943
More or less, yeah. She was originally Mythic rare, because some of the Runners were mythic and some were rare. They only had 10 total mythic slots, and Ral Zarek was already taking one of those slots, so they couldn't ALL be mythic. They toyed with making Ral 'count' as the Izzet runner, but decided that largely for Commander purposes they did want an actual Legendary Creature as the runner for each guild. Fairly late in development, they decided to just bump the Mythic ones they had down to Rare, and Emmara was one of them. Originally SHE made */* tokens (that's why the pack-token for Voice of Resurgence has art that clearly depicts the walking plant thing behind her). They basically swapped the abilities and changed a few things.

One-shots people with even life totals, leaves odd life totals at 1.

if its not an odd number, they lose their entire life. If it is it gets them down to 1.
>>
>>50804555
(Near) lethal? I mean, it calculates the damage based on their life. Then the damage doubler kicks in and doubles that. So if he has even life, he's dead, otherwise he's down to 1.

Cards to consider: urborg, sorin markov, blood baron of vizkopa, drana's emissary, blood artist, suture priest, rune tail, test of endurance, rhox faithmender, exsanguinate, beacon of immortality, archangel of thune, erebos, noxious gearhulk, wall of reverence, well of lost dreams, cradle of vitality, angelic accord, slaughter, hatred, toxic deluge, bloodgift drmon, necropotence, venser's journal, ivory tower, shattered angel, drogskol reaver.

Not all of these cards are equally good of course, but some of them are really necessary. You could also consider adding some general lifegain/drain weenies, their effects do add up quite considerably.

Besides that you're playing too many board wipes and too much targeted removal imo.

Most important cards I mentioned are probably rhox faithmender, beacon of immortality, exsanguinate, slaughter, necropotence, venser's journal, rune tail, drana's emmissary, erebos, toxic deluge, angelic accord, hatred and well of lost dreams. Biggest thing you're missing are cards that use your life as a resource. If you're planning to gain stupid amounts of life, you want to be able to use it for things other than taking hits if possible.

I could also list the cards I think are sub-optimal if you want.

First of all, trim down on your boardwipes and removal. 3-4 wipes is fine, you don't need 6-7 in this deck, same for removal.

Gold myr: it being a creature as well is actually bad in edh due to excessive board wiping. Throw it out or sub it for a mana rock.

grave titan: good card, but doesn't fit your theme as all. If you want a fatty then there are plenty of lifegain/taxing friendly options you could pick instead.

kothoped: bloodgift demon is more controlled and generally better. Kothoped + enemy token army + boardwipe = death, I've seen it happen before.

serra avatar: gets chumpblocked for days, unless you have plenty of things to make it unblockable it's pretty useless (except for swordsing it yourself).

everflowing chalice: mana acceleration make this a good card, but you lack that. Not bad or anything, but you're better of with something else.

tamiyo's journal: if it's for the tutoring, then it's inefficient. If it's for the card draw, then it's inefficient as well.

disenchant: too weak, you want bigger effects in edh. Return to dust is better.

erase: too limited, use vindicate instead.

fated retribution: to expensive for a board wipe that will generally only amount to a wrath, unless your meta is PW heavy, then it's fine i guess.

radiant purge: limited, also too much removal.

Ultimate price: way too limited, also ti much removal.

elspeth, liliana vess: don't fit your theme at all, seem like wasted slots.

heroes remembered: awful unless you have it first turn or very early after. Overcosted to fuck for hardcasting. Beacon of immortality is vastly superior.

kirtar's wrath: sucks, honestly. A wrath that gives you 2 tokens? That's equal to a wrath in edh, it's overcosted. Better of with decree of pain or toxic deluge.

read the bones: if you're only gonna use one direct card draw spell, use ambition's cost instead.

that is not commander. I usually play in a group of 4 (including me). The most we have played with is 7 people. Games should on average take about 2 hours. My longest game I played took around 8 hours to finish. I play with my buddies that I have known since high school. The atmosphere of balls out commander is something special, that normally can't be replicated in a card shop environment which is usually rigid and cold.

Pic related is the reason why my longest game occurred. Control with no way to finish.

>>
>>50806438
get up and move to their position and look at their field. It literally trolls the fuck out of them. The normal reaction is "Why the fuck you coming over here, I've been nice to you this whole game you piece of shit." No one is expecting you to memorize a board state with fucking 7 people. That is why playing at your LCS is kinda lame depending on their rules for swearing and drinking. Chilling at a friends house and calling them cocksuckers, nothing better.
>>
>>50806438
Depends on the kind of table you have. The table we usually use is perfect for 6 players. However, with 1 more player, things would get complicated.
Since we rarely have more than 6 players, we never bothered finding something better.
The biggest problem was somebody who "swung for lethal" and didn't realize that the other part of my percentile dice was slightly moved.
>>
>>50806572
>percentile dice

You guys should really consider just using stock paper/pen and put it in the middle. That is what we do, makes things a whole lot easier. Makes it easier to keep track of commander dmg and infect dmg.
>>
>>50806168

>>50806448
>But I like being able to shoot someone for 20 damage
Even in a deck that likes lifegain, you don't want cards that do literally nothing but gain you life. Yeah it's fun to suspend that on turn 1 and drop a Sanguine Bond to turn it into an impending laser, but without Bond it's REALLY disappointing, and it's overcosted to just cast it. There's better cards.

>something I'm trying out, has worked well so far
Black has enough draw and tutor you don't need Journal. Journal works well in other colors that need the draw/tutor, or if you've got a LOT of Investigating happening to tutor consistently. In black you could just stick a Phyrexian Arena 2 turns earlier for way better returns. It's not unplayable, but again, you have better options.

>Would burnished hart be better?
Almost certainly. The problem with mana dorks is they tend to eat the business end of a wrath spell too often. Hart is better accel in nongreen.
>>
>>50802882
>not running vela the night clad weenies and artifact ramp
Trust me anon, they will know pain the second you point out that you have 15 nonland low curve permanents that you're just going to play the next turn for better etbs after you say everything you can to ashnods.
>>
>>50801483
Yeah I've actually seen it done with this guy, fucking ridiculous. All he literally did was play lands, bleed opponents, swing, and save all his mana for kill spells.
>>
>50806448
Beacon is cheaper (except for susped 10, but that sucks dick), reusable and one shots an opponent. Alternatively use congregate, in EDH it'll easily do more than heroes.

Burnished hart would most definitely be better than gold myr.

While the tutor on liliana fits in any deck, the rest of her abilities don't. Just run a tutor if you want that.

And yeah, things die all the time, but kothoped gets much more hate than bloodgift demon, and again, it can kill you. Also, deterrent to what? People killing things? Seems like that's self-defeating.
>>
>tfw you realize your Ghave deck doesn't do much of anything

I think it's time to take it apart. Much as I like fiddling with tokens and shit, it just kinda sits around until I can generate huge mana.

How? If you put Ghave and any 2 random nonland permanents on board there's about a 30% chance you have an infinite combo. He combos with EVERYTHING.

Just the way of things. I know he combos with everything, but arbitrarily making Saprolings and placing counters ad nauseam gets kinda stale. Also I'm not the type to run the Boonweaver Pattern combo because I like my friends and don't want to destroy my group
>>
>>50807204
Yup Ninth Bridge Patrol. You just set up a loop and laugh as you instantly win on your next turn, assuming you don't have anything better out. Even in a slow game, the sheer number of flickers you can get will be a serious problem.

>>50807042
Do you have Roil Elemental, Amulet of Vigor and Meloku the Clouded Mirror to go infinite?
>>
>>50807539
Okay, I'm not seeing how that goes infinite.
>>
>>50807539
Nykthos+Amulet of Vigor + any moonfolk is basically infinite mana with the Patron out.
>>
>>50807596
You might need a caged sun for it to go infinite.
>>
>>50807539
This is the list I'm working with.

Trying to keep the list under 50. Basically the only "expensive" cards I'm allowing are Nykthos and Amulet of Vigor. The Caged Sun there I'm taking out of a deck I already have.
>>
>>50807639
Actually the part that fucked me up is I read "Patron of the Moon" as "Kami of the Crescent Moon" so I was just looking specifically at the three listed cards and saying "These don't interact at all!"

But yeah, with Patron, I get it. Pay 1 and bounce a land for an Illusion, repeat, then pay 1 to put those lands back.

It doesn't go infinite unless your lands make more than 1 mana each, though, and Roil Elemental seems wholly unnecessary.

If the card is essential to the strategy I'd consider it. Like I don't see myself running this deck without the Amulet. But magic is not my only expense. It's not even my only hobby.

This is just a change of pace with a commander I've been interested in for a while.

Oh, and I forgot glacial chasm.

While it may seem like a steep cost, in lifegain/drain decks it's fucking devastating. It also makes your opponents kill each other.
>>
>>50808101
He said copy, so it probably was at instant speed letting him repeatedly target the same things.
>>
>>50808101
I was facing down Uril, Gwafa Hazid pillowfort and Mono-W Anafenza. Most of them were on Uril's board but everyone wanted Gwafa's Sphere of Safety gone so we could actually attack the guy
>>
>>50808101
The copies don't need to target different stuff for all of them to resolve so maybe two or three were aimed at the same enchantments.
>>
>>50808188
>>50808137

Spells only need 1 legal target to resolve, they need all legal targets to cast but copies aren't cast
>>
>building New Avacyn Weenies, Indestructible Things, and Boardwipes
>have never built a red, or white deck
>also have never built a weenies deck
Any tips? I'm very experienced with the other three colours, but I really want to branch out, and Boros is the last 2 colour deck I need to make to have a full set.
>>
>>50808262

>never built a red or white deck
>only need Boros to have full set of 2 color decks

So what about azorius and gruul and such? I'm confused

Anyway it's important to have efficient attackers so you don't have to commit too much to the board to deal damage
>>
>>50808200
There can be million things targeting a single object, no matter if the spells were cast or not. The spells resolve if there's at least one legal target for it, Hex for example. You need 6 different targets for it, but if one to five of them gain hexproof or similar before it resolves, it resolves and kills all legal targets
>>
>>50808297
>So what about azorius and gruul and such? I'm confused
Well, I've never built a monocoloured red or white deck. I've built very strong mono black, blue and green decks, but normally red and white are support colours for the various other things I'm running. For example, Azorious/Izzet has all the blue card draw I could ask for, Gruul/Selesnya has all the spicy green ramp tech, and Orhozov/Rakdos have access to cheap tutors, reliable draw power, and solid removal, at the cost of being extremely janky. When I mash red and white together, I have no idea how to draw cards or ramp, which is pretty much all my other decks do. I have this giant pile of things I think are sort of good, but I have no idea how to use them effectively.

How do you recover from removal? Do you just wing it and play a tempo-style thing, hoping to hold advantage until you can combo off or lock down the board?
>>
>>50808409

Right that too
>>
>>50808479

Well red and white are just as reliant on draw and ramp, you just need to work harder to get it than you do in UG

RW definitely wants as much mana rocks as possible, and as much draw as you can support
>>
>>50808017
Some fun tech with Splendid Rec. is Overlaid Terrain.
>>
>>50808479
Mono-red EDH is the most fun you can have with your clothes on, anon. Find a general you like and build the shit out of it.
>>
>>50808701
I have both a new Grenzo and a Heartless Hidestugu complete with damage doublers hanging out. Why is it so much fun anon?

>>50808688
Hmm, any good rocks that generate coloured mana in those colours? I have the full suite of rocks outside of the hilariously expensive ones. Do I just throw the rocks in there, or do I need to Jor Kadeem things to get the most bang for my buck.

Are there any artifacts, outside of top and skullclamp, that draw cards consistently?
>>
>>50808701

Don't listen to this guy, mono red is shit and boring, artifacts are good but you can build artifacts in any color combo. It's a classic bait and switch.

>look at muh awesome daretti/Slobad deck, see how cool red is?
>no don't even think about using any of these sweet artifacts in a less shit color combo, that's impossible

Fuck red
>>
>>50808768
>implying we're talking about artifacts
The most fun monoR commanders have jackshit to do with artifacts nigga (appart from ramp, obvs), have you heard of Zirilan, NuGrenzo and Zada?
>>
>>50808262
In Boros, you really need to rely on Colorless draw. Minds Eyes, Howling Mine, font of mythos, ect. Some other draw like mentor of the meet and seers sundial can work too.

Boros is the color of combat imo. Combat tricks are your best bet. For ramp you need stuff like land tax, creatures that fetch lands to your hand, and there's a sorcery from a commander set that fetches like 3 Plains to your hand or something.

Lasth word of advice; Sunforger.
>>
>>50808740

All the mana rocks are good except the ones that are obviously outclassed (manalith vs darksteel ingot). You don't need anything other than spells to cast to make mana rocks good, they are possibly the best cards in all of magic. You definitely don't NEED a jor kadeen to make running them worth it in a RW deck, although there's nothing wrong with jor kadeen either, he's a decent card.

Boros Charm, Rootborn Defenses, Eerie Interlude, Ghostway, Faith's Reward, Legion's Initiative.

Thanks, I'm going to build the same sort of Avacyn invincible boardwipes thing, but I really appreciate knowing the theory behind what I'm doing.

What do people usually tutor with sunforger? I happen to have one just hanging out. Deflecting Palm, the list of nasty combat tricks that one anon suggested, and various fogs could be sneaky. Red -X/-X effects might also be nice with things that punish people for swinging at me. I'm much more familiar with enchantments, to be honest, but this seems like it could be super dickish 1v1, which is what I mostly play.

I'm thinking of running tempo creatures, token producers, and hasty things to force people into selling out early, like some of those new werewolves, so I can fog/indestructible it, force them into a bad play, and smack them back. That way I can use the early game to fuel the avacyn/wrath wombo combo, and keep my curve nice.

I play a Tariel deck that's basically exactly what you're describing, but with a bunch of reanimation (especially of my own cards, since tariel doesn't hit those) and untap shenanigans.

/tg/ I need to know: what is the crunchiest play your deck is capable of? It may or may not be the best, strongest, or most optimal play but, it certainly is the play that makes you pop a stiffy.

For me its casting High Tide -> Time Spiral to draw a fresh seven and end up netting 18+ mana.

I'm honestly not an expert on group hug but they usually go for a prison set up so that opponents can't use all the extra cards you're giving them. Stasis/winter orb and other stax stuff does this. But also stuff like arcane lab and rule of law
>>
>>50811007
>Sen triplets
Casting paradox haze and copying it enough times to be able to hit every opponent, then using all their removal to fuck eachother over and playing glacial chasm at the end of my turn. It makes me feel like I'm a fucking accountant, checking their hands for "invalid" cards and doing away with them.

>Merieke Ri Berit
Getting enough untap and blink going to literally do all my tap triggers in response to eachother, gaining control of every creature (and enchantments if I have opalescence and liquimetal coating/sydri on the field). Feels even better when you destroy them all by untapping once.

>Oloro
It always feels good to get your life into the quadruple digits, then stacking aerherflux triggers to kill every creature and every player. Feels like you're piloting the death star. Also, having an aetherflux reservoir on the fiekd at 50+ life is diagusting, because you can always activate it in response, so you basically control politics until you eventually win from nobody daring to attack you.

I like esper man, leave me alone

>>50805152
Is Blood Baron worth it? I've got one but don't think it really fits in EDH. I feel like most of the time if your opponent is bellow 10 life then they are probably going to die anyway and the baron won't proc for long enough to be useful. Is a 4/4 with lifelink and pro white/black for 5cmc worth it?
>>
>>50812082
I run sorin and magister sphinx (Oloro) so 10 happens pretty often. But lifegain decks (especially if you add pillowfort) tend to survive pretty long, so it'll be a 10/10 for a good portion of the time. And when it's a 10/10, you get to bringing the rest of the opponents to 10 life.

With cards like exsanguinate and debt to the deathless it also gets pretty easy, not to mention general life drain shenanigans.

My experiences with it have been mostly positive.
