So, on the tokens thing:

I carry all my decks in a big bag, with each deck in its own box, so each deck has a small complement of tokens- specifically, whatever kind of tokens that deck can naturally make. I also have a small box with some "generic" tokens, in case anyone needs some, as well as stuff from Planechase, so we have them ready.

Usually I have a maximum of 3 kinds of tokens for a deck, so I can denote tapped, untapped, and POSSIBLY a third one for Auras or Equipment.

It's a gamble, and there are certainly better options for this effect, but I run this card purely for the reaction it garners.

Hey guys, I was gonna buy my first commander and build my first commander deck over the next month. As a new player to edh, should I focus on a two color deck or is it okay to jump straight into three colors? I really like UG and UR, but also love Bant and Temur.
>>
>>51877908
Two color manabases are cheaper, but you can build a functional (not optimal, but perfectly functional) 3-color manabase without breaking the bank. I'd say to decide on a Commander, or a specific interaction or theme, and build around that. Don't worry about the colors, worry about what you want your deck to -do-.
>>
>>51877908
If you're building from scratch I reccomend staying in 2, mostly because of the manabase
>>
>>51877931
I find it much cheaper to put together a manabase for 3 color. You get more of the cheaper lands that (can) enter untapped, as opposed to running out of cheap options for your 2-color deck, and having to choose between cheap taplands or expensive untapped lands.

Can y'all help me fix my mana base? Since my last round of edits I've found it really hard to get a playable hand as far as mana goes. I keep drawing into some combo of not enough mana/the wrong colors. I'm thinking about taking out Cabal Coffers, Urborg, expedition map, and liliana, and exsanguinate and replacing them with some thing else.
I got a spare chromatic lantern. I don't want to buy ABUR duals. My noob friend has a blood stained mire he keeps offering me so I might take that off his hands but I really can't justify the other 2 fetches in my colors. Also any suggestion on what to replace the mentioned cards with would be super helpful.

>This deck
Holy shit what you have is awful, like I understand budget things, but the core of your deck doesn't work.

First what you asked for, the mana base. Get rid of all your colorless producers, I get not going for ABUR, but if you don't at least want to spring for fetches and shocks you lose out in non green. Second off, get you some more rocks boy, 4 is a small number of rocks to run at your land count, double it at least and take out the trash from your deck like nighthawk to make room for them. Finally don't count coffers as a land, it's useless to you unless you have urborg.

Second off you need to get some real wincons. Holy shit I don't know how you win a game without lucksacking into coffers/urborg/exsanguinate. Put a few more real threats into the deck, right now your CA engine fuels a lot of removal and damn near no way to end a game. They don't have to be combos, but they should be stuff that can kill a player or two if left unchecked for more than a turn.

I have shocks and i'm not paying $120 (half the deck's current value) for 3 fetches.

I mostly win through token spam, indestructible fatties, or commander damage. I'm in a very low powered meta and this deck is considered the scariest deck in the meta. I'm just asking for some advice on ratios and what to replace with basic lands. Sorry this deck is an affront to god or something.


If this deck is such trash then why don't you name some cards to replace and what to replace them with? Give me a combo or something. Name a real threat. Also can you name some rocks that are good that aren't a gorrilion and a half dollars like the moxen?

I sort of get the feeling that you just view edh as leagcy lite. Something that is a solvable format instead of an excuse to chill with bro and drink beer. Because this deck is about being the monarch and keeping the monarch. I think it's pretty fun to play. I even have one of those conspiracy crowns the shop gave me. I bust it out sometimes just for this deck. It's nice to win but I don't need a deck that is tuned for competitive play because I honestly don't care about winning 34.638% of the time versus Derevi Stax.

What do you think is the core of this deck and what do you think doesn't work about it?

Also you said second off twice.

>I'm in a very low powered meta and this deck is considered the scariest deck in the meta.

Bruh, then why should I help you improve it? It feels like you want this both ways, you want your deck to be better, despite the fact your deck is already very good for your meta (apparently), but God forbid someone tries to help your deck get too strong, because that's not in the spirit of EDH.

What's your imaginary line for this being OK? Obviously it's not being as good as the best deck in your group, since you apparently are already it, you want to push further. Where is that line?

If you still want to improve your deck after chewing on this, I can tell you about a few more good rocks that won't break the bank. (To start anyway, try to tell me exactly how far you want to take this)

What I want is to get the proportion of colored manas right. I'm fine with everything as is except for some reason my I keep needing to mull 3 or 4 times because i keep getting 1 landers or just colors that don't work. According to my tapped out stats over half the decks mana symbols are white but the mana is roughly a perfect 3 way split between R/W/B.

I don't plan to make any other real edits beyond maybe replacing some of the Urborg/Coffers support with cards I think are fun. Not necessarily with things to make the deck competitive

All those points/questions are me trying to point out that you were being a dick and not being helpful at all. I asked for some help balancing my colored mana ratio and you instead just started shitting on my deck for being bad with out any context.

Thank you for offering to help. I would still really love for some help balancing colored mana symbols. Thinking about it I don't need Ghost Quarter, Encroaching wastes, buried ruin, or throne of the high city. I do want to keep Rogue's passage (use it's secondary pretty much every time i get it), Westvale abbey (I can can pretty consistently flip it), and Temple of the false gods (not as tied to it but it works pretty well over all for.

>>51881111
Two cheap ways to add more ramp are talisman of pain and knight of the white orchid, then you should add the chromatic lantern since it's OK ramp and good fixing for you. If you replace your colorless lands (and rethink your position on temple of the false gods, it's probably the worst land in your deck.) You might be able to use some colorless rocks at this point (and you can go for whatever you need for that, junk like mindstone and thought vessel) , past that coldsteel heart and coalition relic are both solid, I prefer 2 CMC rocks though.

Also, don't be such a little bitch about things if you are going to ask for help on 4chan, you are going to at the very least be harshly criticized, if not outright trolled or insulted. This is not the hugbox of reddit or mtgsalvation, those communities often stifle real communication with the policing that goes on.

>>
>>51881390
Yeah probably running all three is the best idea

Also, while we're on the subject of feldon, let me tell you guys a play I sometimes do and you can tell me if I'm an idiot or not.

If I'm going second and I have an absolutely cash creature for the graveyard in my opening hand such as wurmcoil engine, I'll choose to play no land on turn one so I will have 8 cards in hand at end of turn, so I can discard the creature I want in the graveyard right away.
>>
>>51881467
How often does this actually pay off for you? Also you could run stuff like Tormenting Voice, Wheels, or other Loot/Rummage effects to get the same result without gimping yourself a land.
>>
>>51881490
I'll only do it occasionally if the hand includes a mana rock or two so I can catch back up, or if I don't have any wheel or looting effects, or if I know the creature being there early will really give me a huge advantage later.

So it's not a play I do all the time but when I think I have the right cards and think it'll help, it often has good results

right now i still need a good lifegain engine or two, or perhaps some big one-off lifegain thing, i'm having a bit trouble staying at comfortable life levels right now and i can't seem to find any good lifegain engines. all the ones i'm finding are dumb "gain 1 life when something happens xd" which is stupid and i can't be fucked to pay attention to every single creature hitting the field. i want stuff that really shits out lifegain. maybe extort stuff?

i guess i could also use some ways to use that lifegain to my advantage. or just more spot removal and pillow fort.

Hey /tg/, do you include cards in your deck to counter the strategies of your friends? Does this get you tons of hate?

My playgroup is full of degenerate combos and land destruction, but if I include Hushwing Gryff in my deck their decks become worthless, but at the same time everyone will try to kill me first if I do, so what should I do?

Also is this card any good in commander? I've seen more and more people using it recently, and I can make the ability trigger every turn in my deck (obzedat), but even then the effect doesn't seem so strong to me.

Not a lot of commanders are truly hard to play, at least not to the level where it should scare a new player away.

The biggest problem for newbies is that newbies have no clue how to put together a deck, that's what the Commander pre-cons are for.

Any suggestions for what to remove for a Disciple of Bolas?
>>
>>51883998

Omnath, Locus of Mana. Just stick in every single ramp spell and mana dork you can find, and go to town on people with your giant beatstick.
>>
>>51884013
Care to elaborate? That sounds much more interesting.
>>
>>51882505
Yes, you get double exiles, but unlike the angel, the targets won't even get exiled if someone removes Grasp before it's ETB-ability resolves.
This happens because angel creates the return trigger when it's removed, but because the card has only one trigger that does both the exiling and the returning.
And yes, even when you copy a trigger, the source doesn't change so the exiled stuff are tied to same permanent anyway.

Control/ combo decks hate effects like possibility storm, you get around this by having a high volume of efficient cards.

Grip of choas is pretty dope

Enchantments that mess with land don't effect you

Redirecting targets at random makes removal bad, you get around this by not playing a lot

You only need one or two in a deck to really mess with people
I want to stress that you still want to play a real deck, just build around the choas not just build a deck with all choas cards

What was the meta like back then?
>>
>>51884755
My group started with a combination of "Buying starter decks at Target" and "random collections of older cards obtained from siblings/parents", basically played what was effectively Legacy at the time, and then started pushing towards Standard right around the time of Zendikar. Then not long after that most of us got into EDH, and outside the small handful that would travel out of town for PTQs, nobody played 60 card formats for a few years until we had a shop.
>>
>>51884779
Fuck if I know, dude. For the first year or so, I literally only owned the 60 cards I'd been given as a deck by a friend, and I only played against him. It wasn't until Mirrodin-ish that we got our other friends to play, and the 'format' was Kitchen Table Fuckaround.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/24-02-17-reyhan-ishai/

So I've never really done the whole shitty +1/+1 counter deck thing.

I've got a couple categories for effects I want multiples of, not sure where to build from there.

In particular there are two themes I'm wondering if they will have any particular impact on the game. First are the stronger persist creatures. With Reyhan and a bunch of counters around I can continue to bounce between two powerful persist effects for a +1/+1 counter each time as long as I have a sac outlet. If I do decide to go that route, the question of whether we add the whole Pod package arises.

The next major theme is shitty Simic +1/+1 counter cards like Master Biomancer and Fathom Mage. Sure they're impactful if they stick around but they feel pretty winmore. My playgroup hovers between games with absolutely zero removal and constant Wraths and Counterspells so it's a tough call whether these will actually do anything.

I'm also considering Greater Good and co. Do Forgotten Ancients sit around long enough in +1/+1 counter decks to get to a decent power? Note that if I resolve it and don't win within a turn or two I'll probably be eliminated.

Athreos and Skeleton Ship are interchangeably acceptable, prime choice (especially considering Athreos is literally a SKELETON SHIP).

>>
>>51884905
>I'm also considering Greater Good
absolutely put it in, it's one of the best draw engines in EDH.

Master Biomancer seems like a solid addition since it will let you go infinite with two persist creature's + a sac outlet. Fathom Mage seems nuts too.

Needs Mazirek

If you're willing to add more artifact creatures, take note that Reyhan's ability stacks with Modular
>>
>>51884954
>>51884985
I actually built Skeleton Ship tribal before but there are so many more skeleton and skeleton themed cards in green.This iteration actually started out as Athreos but I ended up just brewing him into BW value town and cut all the skeletons

>>51884985
>Squirrel stax
It was a complete joke. It was your normal Vorel stax, but it had each squirrel card rammed into it. Sadly, there's only like 6 of em
>>
>>51885011
both can be tutored by Sunforger so I'd say go for it.

You're rarely going to cast Final Fortune in a situation where you don't win the game during your extra turn anyway
>>
>>51885013
Modular is pretty fucking awful outside of one card and Ravager is also fairly bad outside of a dedicated artifact deck.

I'm not sure you read the whole part about Greater Good. Yes it's amazing, the issue is that I'm not sure the deck can be built in such a way that a cast of Greater Good will win me the game that turn before people realize I have one of the strongest draw spells in the game and eliminate me.

>>51875542
Man that's one whack ass way to show mana cost
>>
>>51885094
It lets you see the cost while the card is in your hand, which is why the Future Sight border is the superior border.
>>
>>51885117
isn't that dependent on the way your hold your cards in hand?
>>
>>51885011
They are both wincons in and of themselves if you use them right. Also, both can be fetched by Sunforger.

>>51881302
Thanks for the help. And I'm not looking for a hugbox. I've been here lurking chans since 2011. But just because we are a chan doesn't mean you should jump straight to I'm going to be a dick. That's shit's for assholes and /b/tards.
>>
>>51885153
Go grab some cards and tell me how comfortable that is, I'll wait.
>>
>>51885153
The Future Sight border lets you see mana cost and name if you hold it the "correct" way, with normal borders it's either-or.
>>
>>51884670
I'm currently in the process of putting a Taric deck together for similar reasons.
>>
>>51885117
Or you could just have your manacost memorized and organize your hand by putting lands in the back with the one you want to play next allways being in the back. Then you organize your spells by instant/non-instant speed. Sorcery speeds go in middle organized by cost with cheapest in the front. and finally instants in the front organized by cost cheapest in the front. Makes playing super easy since you the main variable of a deck you're comfortable with is when/where to use instants.

Look, Sheldon, I know that you can't comprehend that people don't enjoy your artistic vision, but the fact of the matter is that your artistic vision for the format has filled it with fun police. Sit down with at a table and you're as likely to hear "dude, attacking on turn 1 isn't casual", "dude, poison isn't casual", or "dude, counterspells aren't casual" as "GG, fun game!"

Playing with people who want to win against each other at their best solves this. The banlist sucks, sure, but the community is so much better.

I'm so sorry that people who enjoy Battlecruiser Magic instead of Singleton Vintage: The One Deck, Two Turn Format upset you so much that you have to have an autistic screeching fit over the idea of people playing games that last longer than 5 minutes.
