That's a matter of opinion but I think my playgroup really likes the "romance of the three kingdoms" decks I made for us to use. Personal favorite out of those Comes down between Lubu and Lady Zhurong...and I'm not sure if I could choose between them because they are both super fun to play in their own way.

The draining is really damn useful though. It never flips but when I get it out decently early it often does 10 damage around the table. I mostly play 4 and 5 player games, so it does tons and tons of work.

Not to mention that using magister sphinx on myself when everyone is below 10 to style everyone to death is enormous disrespect, which makes my table salty as hell.

I realize that I sound like "help me edhg, what should I swap? Oh not that one though, that one is good" but both of these cards have proven themselves very well.

Fumiko forces people to attack.

If they attacked each other, they would lose their creatures. So they attacked the guy with Fumiko, and he got mad.

He was just bad at explaining it.
>>
>>50879528
Possibility Storm and Knowledge Pool are really fucking annoying, but they do not remove all strategy from the game at all, they just change it up.

I win pretty much every game someone casts a Possibility Storm as I start repeat casting creatures until I hit Teferi.

fast duels only matter on turn 1 or 2 and even then the chances of you actually putting them to use is next to nothing most of the time unless you run really low on the curve. if you just happen to have fast duels from other formats or more money than sense use them but if not you wont really notice a difference. its not like anyone even really does anything in edh for the first like 5 turns anyway

Don't you have another meme chart to design to justify your awfulness?

>>50880438
It depends on the style of deck you run. If you've stacked your deck with answers and want to be prepared for any attacks, it would fit the bill. Kruphix is sort of like that. Play defense until you've banked enough mana to pop off.

I have a few suggestions for pillowforting in those colors if you'd like to hear. Even in aggro decks, I think a solid defense is a valuable part of long term games. Look into crawlspace, ghostly prison, norn's annex, propaganda, collective restraint, dissipation field, and aurification. Do you have a deck list? What are some of your win cons?
>>
>>50882319
Do you have any tips for Bruna? I've had one that I've been meaning to rebuild for a while. It's always been inconsistent so I took it out of service.
>>
>>50882325
Haven't transferred my decklist to computer yet, but I use Ghostly prison and Propaganda.

I'm still working on getting good wincons, but presently Laboratory Maniac (w/ Thought Lash), Felidar Sovereign (which never works and I'll probably replace him), Words of War, Transcendence in a pinch, Shared Fate, and some stealing/chaos effects like Thieves Auction.
>>
>>50882388
i basically just stuff the deck witha bunch of board wipes, self milling cards, tutors, and aura. the rest of it is pretty much just some spot removal and low drop creatures that get value from enchantments. everyone know that if i get attacked ill just board wipe so they stay away from me most of the time. the whole idea is to get your auras anywhere but in your library and try to make sure you get indestructible and an unblockable enchantment out. eldrazi conscription is basically your game ender and that one blue enchantment that give you infect

>>50882450
I really like stealing effects in a deck like that. It gives you more options for political play. For example, you'll be able to ally yourself with someone by giving him a permanent you stole from the threat on the board. I'd take out Felidar Sovereign unless you have intense life gain. It paint a target on you, and most people consider a win with cards like that aren't 'true' victories. Are you playing group hug? If not, I'd replace Shared Fate with Rhystic Study. It gives you better draw power for cheaper and doesn't help your opponents. How does the deck stand when it comes down to the final two? Pillow forting is great, but it'll be hard to pull out a win if you deck doesn't have any teeth to it.

I do!

You combo Great whale, capsize, extraplanar lens, and Mind's Desire and shit out your entire deck on the board/gain infinite life with kraken's eye. You are welcome to give it a try, it doesn't break the bank.

Gentlemen, question for you. When "Crowning" a deck what do you do for cards that either do not have a foil or a foil is simply not available (I.E. you can't seem to find it anywhere).
>>
>>50883185
Use the coolest sleeves you have, get foreign versions if you're into that and get the version of that card with the best artwork if you don't already have it.
>>
>>50883185
One of two things:
>high quality full proxy
Or
>most expensive and nicest version you can find.

Can't get a foil version of an old card? Get the NM alpha version. Oh it's $450? I'm sorry, I thought we were pimping our decks not playing the sand box in our new dresses.
>>
>>50883220
fair
>>50883223
haha, yeah fair nuff. I ask this question because last night I decided I was going to Crown my Lu Bu deck after seeing that all 5 of the swords are going to get masterworks now and wanting an excuse to get them. My concern is that things like Masterwork of ingenuity and Lu bu himself don't have foils
>>
>>50883298
Lu Bu does have a nice Prerelease version though, which I have and use So I figured that counted.

>>50882693
Shared Fate is in my experience fucking amazing in Zedruu. Screws up enemy strategies and allows me to steal enemy wincons for myself. I need to refine my manabase to support it better though, less "regular" dual/triple lands and more City of Brass shit. Plus if they decide to take permanents from my deck, they only give me more Zedruu brownie points.
>How does the deck stand when it comes down to the final two?
Very badly. It's mostly a slugfest of an unarmed pillowfort vs. an enemy slowly whittling me down.

Honestly, blind obedience seems unnecessary just for the extort trigger.

>>
>>50884540
no idea but that sounds like a cool idea
>>
>>50884540
Rite of replication is a straight 30 life loss for your opponents if you kick it on Vela.
Also use lots of creatures with ETB effects but that's obvious (I personally love Nekrataal because you can have it deals First strike damages and then Ninjutsu it with a ninja and get the normal damages)
>>
>>50884568
It's a chaotic play and fuel grave strategies and also gives draw for more spells to cascade.
>>
>>50884671
Well okay, but that doesn't has much to do with the commander. You could as well just put in card draw.
>>
>>50884720
I do run both. You can always play all card draw and drain effects like Psychosis Crawler. I like the wheels because I get to fuck around each player's hands and to use stuff like Nath.

Take a break or start borrowing other people's decks, new perspectives go a long way towards making the game fun. Hell, even tweaking an established concept goes a long way.
Take reanimator for example, what if you played it for value not combo or vice versa?

It took me a year to realize I like mana rocks. If you have things in hand that are too expensive to cast, gut your deck, put in mana producing artifacts, and then one at a time add back in those cards you like the best and play games to test in between.

>>50879673
They were responding to me. I run mono or two color decks so its not as important for me. If you're running 3 or 4 color decks, good lands are a necessity.

You'll want at least 5 non basic lands you're really crazy about though. Most decks have like 8-15 non basic lands I guess.
>>
>>50888429
Actually, probably should run more lands. Stuff like Crypt of Agadeem that will crank out mana mid-late game AND then more early ramp.
>>
And you can play artifacts AND lands on the same turn, but you can only put out ONE land. Get to like 8 mana ASAP. That's my two cents anyway.
>>
>>50879673
Using a few slow dual lands is ok. I usually limit it to only 1-2 of them, any of the just enters tapped and gain life ones. Or you could just get amulet of vigor and not give a shit about slow lands

>>50888429
Mono color nonbasics are vastly different from duals. Mono nonbasics usually have a utility to warrant playing
>>
>>50888394
Given that you tack on 1-5 for the Ninjutsu cost, yeah, any CMC above three is a bit much.
You want cheap unblockables, and while Nevermaker does have some evasion, it's not really cheap enough to be repeatedly castable. But I focused on that aspect of Vela Ninjas, you do you.

>>50884785
It's still strategy.

You can look at your hand, think of which cards you are most likely to benefit from the most, and cast those spells.

Say you have 2 creatures in hand and only 3 more creatures in your deck. Then you are way more likely to control which one you hit than casting a random sorcery when you run 15.

I absolutely fucking hate possibility storm, but it doesn't remove all strategy. It just changes the approach.

What you're missing is that the player who casts it can build his or her deck with the strategy of only or mostly running cards that are less hampered by possibility storm, and rely on the fact that most of his or her opponents will be using cards that require precision and are therefore ruined by possibility storm

Probably either Kaalia or the perennial "not actually a legendary" Ink-Treader Nephilim.

Ink-Treader's great because somehow nobody ever sees it coming the first time. It's by no means an optimized deck but people just let me durdle and cast Spawning Breath into Act of Treason and Sigil Blessing and stuff like that. Brightflame and Prophetic Bolt take ages to resolve but I try to be quick about it and they're so powerful with enough creatures on the battlefield. The deck basically runs on 2R Insurrections and U: Draw 30 cards. It's silly and swingy and very fun but it's definitely not an "every night" kind of deck.

If you're not looking to change the strategy up too much, you can have a few game enders in the deck and just hold onto them for late game. There are a few cards like Demon Pact that will hand you the win, but hold onto them for as long as possible. If you start dropping them early game, the other players will take you into account.

>Playstyle: Spike, Johnny, Timmy.

...what does that mean?
>>
>>50892015
Spike is a guy who plays to win, Johnny is a guy who plays to find novel interactions and combos, Timmy is a guy who plays to see huge spells resolve. It's a bit more complicated than that but that's putting it simply.
>>
>>50892015
Only competitive, combo, Big Creatures/Flashy/high CMC spells
>>
>>50892032
Spike has an 'efficiency' tag as well.

I'm more of a Vorthos. Since I only collect. And only crack boosters and Fat Packs.
>>
>>50892032
>>50892034
Oh, I see.
Thanks for explaining!
>>
>>50892079
You only play efficient cards because you want to win.
Vorthos/Melvin is an entirely different scale

Hey guys, first time making an EDH deck and I've decided to go for a warrior tribal because I enjoy tribal synergies

>>50889475
Or the ones who came to play magic.
>>
>>50893424
Yes. Especially if you also have strip mine plus exploration type effects
>>
>>50893559
I am not a fan of strip mine, but I do use Ghost Quarter, I like the utility of it.
>>
magical Christmas combo that came to mind after seeing some aether revolt spoilers:

>krark-clan ironworks and the new scrap trawler in play
>also junk diver and myr retriever in play
>also any 2 of tormod's crypt/Mox Opal/Mox Diamond/mana crypt/sol ring/Dispeller's capsule/executioner's capsule/skullclamp/Hangarback walker

Okay so I sac the 2 cheap artifacts, floating 4 mana.
sac the retriever and diver, floating 8 mana
Trawler triggers return the 2 cheap artifacts, diver and retriever triggers return each other to my hand
Cast them all for 5 or 6 or 7 mana, still floating 1 or 2 or 3
Repeat for infinite mana

Totally realistic
>>
>>50893645

Ghost quarter is cool but strip mine goes in every deck. Is that why you're not a fan of it?
>>
>>50891699

Man conspire would be sooooo broken and awesome if you could conspire any number of times
>>
>>50893950
>Man free spells would be sooooo broken and awesome if you could play infinite free spells
This is exactly why they put a limit on it.
>>
>>50891316

The anon only had Karametra + amulet in play before he went off. It wouldnt be reasonable to tap out against that board, you can't always play around some nutty Aluren combo.
>>
>>50893965

It would be even more broken if it wasn't a triggered ability, but instead an activated ability, tap 2 creatures that share a color: copy target instant or sorcery of that color

Then you could second harvest, copy it, when the copy resolves you'd have more guys, tap them to copy it again, etc etc

Still fun in wort to conspire a second harvest though, the numbers get pretty silly real quick
>>
>>50890992

Token deck: old art
Super friends: new art
>>
>>50893992
This is exactly why I play Wort. Forking ramp spells is just so much fun

>Crop Rotation, copy
>Get Valakut and Vesuva, let Valakut ETB first
>play Prismatic Omen and tons of ramp
>Boundless Realms for every remaining basic in the deck

It can win with tokens + Craterhoof or a huge Fireball but the Mountain Bomb is just so much more unexpected and fun

Only difference is the top decks but I also have an expensive cube that I build from as well as a binder full of staples.
I wish we could talk about qube here
>>
>>50875966
Id cut all the non-combo mill cards as mill is shut unless you're decking someone.
Also cut the walls out, you're not milling.
Add in some wraths, crux of fate and especially life's finale. Also add dire undercurrents, that card is sweet. Add elixir of immortality for arcanis+mind over matter combo.
Otherwise it looks ok. Nothing exceptional and a lot of sub optimal cards but functional for sure

>>50896582
Something that fits the survival theme, like Vorapede, different Wurms, the big bug that copys itself
>>
>>50879528
Cards like Possibility Storm and Blood Funnel are what make off cards playable commanders, Mishra for example. I am all for playing these cards when it help your strategy, however throwing cards like Omen Machine or Scrambleverse into your deck because "it's fun," is only sadistic.
>>
>just got the Atraxa precon from my gf for Christmas

Which would be more fun anons? I really want to make a dickass BUG infect deck, but ghave token swarm could be pretty good since I have a spare doubling season and parallel lives. I've never built either of these commanders, what am I in for?

>google "cyclonic rift edh ban"
>"9/10 times I cast Rift it's because I'm forced to because the wrong thing got hexproof. If you let people hold this card until the end of the game where it's all they need to win, chances are the game you just played had no huge threats to deal with, which is your own damn fault. Play cards that demand answers, then give them hexproof. The Rifts will fly fast and early."

is this what playing blue does to people's reasoning?

"it's ok that rift is an "i win" spell because it can only be cast once"

Any "spikes" in the thread? What are you guys running? Im currently running Karador Boonweaver combo. I so far am really liking the early turn 3s the deck can pull of but still have a fun game with everyone if it doesnt go off.

>>
>>50897523
That's a lot less relevant at instant speed and would generally only make the aggro player happy

>>50897548
I suspect it's a lot easier for any deck splashing blue to win after a resolved sunder compared to a cyc rift.

You'd have to be a turboshitter not to recognize that.

Where does the line between casual and serious commander go? I built this Oloro deck with some prison shenanigans like Winter Orb and Static Orb, and my opponents on Xmage just quit the table one by one, calling me an idiot for bringing the deck to a casual game. And they did bring artifact destruction to the game, but spent it blowing up each other's Sol Rings. What's with that? It's not like I'm playing infinite combo decks, which are plenty about.
>>
>>50897624
That depends entirely on what's on the board already.
Its the same as an armageddon except playing it during another person's turn isn't that great unless you have some means to flash in the rest of your hand with your unused mana
>>
>>50893923
They aren't the same card? Not him but I just have one and not the other
>>
>>50897657
Hard Stax isn't considered casual, believe it or not
>>
>>50897702
Ghost Quarter destroys a land but the owner of the destroyed land is allowed to get a basic land out of their deck untapped.

Mine just gets rid of it entirely.
>>
>>50897657
playing winter orbs in casual games doesn't make you a tryhard, it just makes you a dickhead. you're just slowing the game down to a grinding halt and that's pretty awful for anyone trying to enjoy a nice smooth game of edh

Not knowing a card doesn't make you a bad player, just means you don't see it all the time.

I have turned into an encyclopedia of jank cards and combos because of EDH.
>>
>>50896384
Don't.
I've never lost to Nekusar when im playing a deck that's not just jank. 99/100 times you're just going to give the opponents the resources to kill you

Would I be a dick to play Yasova?
>>
>>50897874
I forgot my own card but I haven't actually played edh yet. I don't think I have any game winners besides mirror entity
>>
>>50896384
Almost all the cards you would want can be found on EDHREC.

Tainted Strike, Grafted Exoskeleton, Helm of the Ghastlord, Mindcrank, Phyresis and Glistening Oil are all cards that speed the game along.
>>
>>50897937
RUG is cancer, regardless of commander
>>
>>50897937
Playing Yasova doesn't make you a dick, just make sure you use her right.

Blink effects that say return under your control are what you need.

Cards that weaken your opponents creatures/ones that buff yours are key.

Finally to ensure that you can in fact get ahead with her, you run cards that animate lands and artifacts.
