Made a grimy little druggy leave the store because I put Darksteel Mutation on his Atraxa.

Scooping before damage so that a sword of feast and famine wouldn't trigger. It's a perfectly valid play, but you would not believe the whining that followed. It was like I picked his deck up and threw it away. It kept him from winning and caused another player to win because he was banking on his lands untapping. I did it because he betrayed me in an earlier deal we had made. The other player also had had an opportunity to attack me, but he held to the agreement. I knew that I was losing, but I got to play the Kingmaker. He was a rat with no sense of honor and deserved his buttpain.

>>52082492
Not edh, but Return to Ravnica standard G/R aggro.

Burning-Tree Emissary x3 and Flinthoof Boar on turn 2 made people close to table flipping.

anyone else play try hard EDH decks? my playgroup is so cutthroat and I want a deck to wreck them with. is tazri a good idea?

>>52082492
Had a sort of silent-salt story a while back when I was testing a new deck.
4 player game; Sigarda Equipment Voltron was having land shortage but LOTS of rocks so he was doing alright and still dealing out the pain etc.
Draw into Akroma's Vengeance, cast it, he's basically blown out of the water. Scoops quietly with a tip of the head and a "You got me lol" look on his face.
Next round I suspiciously found myself threat #1 for him. Was totally worth the play, though.

>>52082606
Nah fuck you dude. Subverting the rules of multiplayer is breaking the social contact you enter when you sit down to play.

I saved this from a while back because it made me laugh and I hope to pull it off one day

>>52082678
Yes
With varied levels of competition
Royal All used to put out good stuff idk if he is any more, but his back log is good
Cameron Sadler has a bunch of vintage level edh videos and some less competitive ones (he's moxnix on the salvation forums)
Keepflyin has a really good channel, more focused on 1v1 but helpful none the less.

I would stay away from gare_bear and jolt they are like Star city games (commander vs) tier but less entertaining.
The mtg goldfish guys are good too but the power level is about the same as Star city.

Are they playing actual competitive decks or just pubstompers?

If they're playing competitive decks then you might want to stop by the website which shall not be named. It has a subsection related to strictly competetive EDH. They can help you get your deck on a level it can compete or offer budget cEDH lists to you.
>try hard EDH decks
>I want a deck to wreck them with
Anon, I'm trying to help but you've betrayed that you don't actually want to have fun with your group, but that you would rather just try to mess up games. This isn't a healthy mindset. You're just going to waste time and money building a deck that can compete, but not one which can "wreck them."

His luck and have fun. And if you feel that your playgroup is being too cutthroat ask if they could play more casual decks.

>>52082736
Deciding to concede is perfectly fine. I was essentially dead. I don't want to play in a work where I have to stay in the game until the game rules say I'm out. I know when to concede if I'm beat and I will use this integral part of the game in a manner which suits me if available.

Relatively garden variety, but cheating out Iona with Kaalia. The kicker was that every deck at the table included Black and only Skullbriar and I had their commanders out. Most of them didn't have kill outside their black component to dig for. The chorus of groans and "Really?!" "Seriously?" was pretty deafening for a moment.

What are your spiciest memes?

>>52082962
Then you're looking at the wrong list.

The point of Tazri Food Chain is that you can run every single 1-mana dork in the game (since 5 color) to combo off ASAP. It's literally built solely for that combo and protecting that combo.

>>52082965
Too bad it requires a second creature.

>>52082837
actual competitive decks. was saying try-hard as a joke lol. don't get me wrong i actually want to win.

IDC if people play as spikes or casuals and my playgroup and I are very spikey. We have fun crushing each other and making high-powered plays. I just feel like edric gets hated out easily because they've adapted to him which is why i'm thinking of switching to full on combo [or something with style].

just wanted to hear your thoughts on a good combo deck for edh, anon.

also red eats is just another hivemind circlejerk with little original thought or opinions besides "which flavor of doomsday should i play?"

>>52082980
was wondering if it's as resilient as they say because i'll probably shell out big time for it

>>52082980
that basically what I said, That was a one trick pony?

>>52083050
From what I understand, if you know how to mull and pilot the deck right it can consistently win through disruption on turn 3.

>>52082678
MTGOrzo is some drunk white guy in China, though he hasn't uploaded in a while

>>52083066
When your "one trick" is "I consistently win on turn 3", you don't need more.

>>52082962
Because cards like Demonic Consultation and Plunge into Darkness are pretty broken when they read 1B: win the game.

>>52082492
>What's the saltiest reaction you've ever seen in a game and/or what play provoked it?

>What's the saltiest reaction you've ever seen in a game and/or what play provoked it?

I shit you not playing this led to an hour and a half saltmine so deep I honestly am considering finding a new playgroup.

>>52083160
Aggro players have it easier because they can focus 100% on one player and pushing their threats through.

Combo players have it easier because there's less interference to fight through, and there's no risk of a 3v1 once their combo STARTS to build.

Control players have it harder because it's on them to stop everything aimed at them. Normally the aggro player would have to go wide, or would get some interference from the other players; no sane control player is going to try to answer every threat 1 for 1.

>>52082736
Threadly reminder:

104.3a A player can concede the game at any time. A player who concedes leaves the game immediately. He or she loses the game.

>>52083160
Your retarded. It should read:
>consistent aggro wins small games quickly or takes forever to lose because everything takes too long to set up
>vintage-style combo always wins UNLESS the other player gets lucky
>control makes games take an unbearable amount of time and is not as strong. It's still viable, but it requires 1 for 1 answers, which is unlikely when Uril is swinging for the game t5 every game with protection

>>52082962
It's an all-in combo deck. It's retarded fast and some miserable autist at our LGS runs the $2000 build when there are shitters running around with angel tribal and volatile rig

>>52083160
Control is pretty bad in smaller games. I don't have enough answers to deal with everyone, so I have to politic my way to victory. Turn people against each other, point out bigger threats, etc. With 2-3 player games, this is basically impossible.

>>52083150
I think so. He used to shill his videos here

>>52083301
What's different between the 2000 dollar build and the normal one? Just more expensive tutors?

>>52082777
my playgroup did the you chose your starting hand once and so i just won on turn 1

>>52082492
>What's the saltiest reaction you've ever seen in a game and/or what play provoked it?

>>52083428
Ouch. I've got all the duals, but I don't have a Timetwister.

(For reference, if I DID build FCT, it would specifically be to shut up people who feel high-and-mighty bringing a pubstomp deck to a casual table)

>>52083433
Except that would only stop 13 damage.

>>52083453
>13 damage to each creature

>>52083477
>15 different instances of damage are stopped by one "the NEXT TIME" prevention

>>52083453
Yeah. 13 damage times the number of creature it would hit, which is at least 8. So 104 damage minimum blasted straight to the face.

>>52083502
I think the "next time" is all the damage that Blasphemous Act would deal, since it happens simultaneously. Each creature doesn't line up single-file and take 13 damage

>>52083502
But it deals the damage all at the same time so how would you decide what damage is prevented where? If it was a Grapeshot I can see where you're coming from.

>>52083453
Unless the card has been eratta'd I don't think so.

>>52083502
>Damage isn't dealt to multiple victims simultaneously

That would be like saying you could only stop a gang blocked creature from hurting the first blocker it would normally punch out.

Blasphemous only causes only one instance of "Damage happens", it's not even separate instructions.

>>52083502
doesn't it count everything cus it deals damage simultaneously

>>52082736
It is not subverting rules, but very well within rules to concede at any time.

>>52083532
>>52083514
>>52083502
>>52083477
>>52083453
It's one instruction to deal damage, so it's one instance of damage-dealing, even if it's hitting a bunch of stuff. Reflect Damage will stop ALL of it, and huck it back at the Act controller.

This kills the red player.

>>52083074

No, you can equip to the same creature multiple times. The only restriction for equip is that you control the creature.

You can't do it with the first one because Greaves grants Shroud.

>>52084284
there is no unattach mechanic in this game.

>>52084284
You don't unattach it, you just equip it again.

702.6a Equip is an activated ability of Equipment cards. “Equip [cost]” means “[Cost]: Attach this permanent to target creature you control. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.” 702.6b For more information about Equipment, see rule 301, “Artifacts.”

Literally all you have to do is keep equipping it to the same creature, it just pops on and off the creature.

There had been a few other similar awkward moments over the summer. Actually, Elspeth was surprised that they hadn’t been more awkward. She was fairly sure that sixteen was well past when crazy teenage hormones were supposed to be kicking in, but she hadn’t really noticed many. Certainly not around Ral or Jace, and she didn’t really get physically close to anyone else.

This ought to be awkward, but mostly she just felt—

Ral kissed her. Okay, now things were awkward. She tried to kiss back, more out of a feeling that she probably should than out of any real desire on her part. It didn’t quite work. Ral’s tongue definitely ended up in her mouth, and she managed to get one hand on the back of his head, but it just felt—off. It was too much like snogging her brother, which was a disturbing enough thought for her to stand up quickly, pressing her hand to her lips. Ral was doing the same thing.

“Oh, shit,” he said.

“Um,” said Elspeth. “I don’t think—”

“I think I’m gay.”

“What?”

“I mean, you’re—uh—you know—attractive and stuff,” Ral blurted. “But kissing you just doesn’t—do it.”

Elspeth stared at him and then thought of the warm feeling in the pit of her stomach when she opened a letter from her pen pal. “Oh, Merlin,” she said limply.

“Did I break your heart?” Ral asked, and he sounded so pitiful that she burst out laughing. He scowled at her. “Hey, I was legitimately worried!”

“I think I might be gay, too.”

“What?”

Elspeth bit her lip. “It never really occurred to me before? But it makes some sense. My pen pal—”

“—that you never shut up about—”

“—just like you never shut up about Jace—”

“—hey, I may be gay but I’m not crushing on my best friend!”

So I ordered some cards today from a reputable store but one of them looks like a fake.

It's a foil pic related, but the foiling looks strange. It's extra shiny, and the set symbol is also shiny, which I've never seen before.

Any of you got a foil pic related laying around so I can compare?

>>52083832
>>52083628
There's the problem though, that people will fall for it only once, afterwards they either keep abusing their extra draws and holding any kind of out for it because they're gonna expect it or they just go full ham on you.
If you're gonna play an one trick pony deck, you're gonna win with a good one, which this is not, unless you can make it really oppressive in some way.

Full on stax is good, but you're gimping yourself because you're giving opponents a bigger chance to get something that gets them out from the situation you're trying to get them to, just for a first time working deception.

Afterall, there's a saying: "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

I can pretty much guarantee that it's real just because no one would bother to fake that card. No one's spending the time and ink on a <$2 foil. They could put the same amount of effort into making a $50 or $100 foil. Some foils end up looking weird after a number of years in various environments.

no, you can still activate the ability even if the equipment doesn't change creatures. Kind of like how you can still target indestructable creatures with Murder, even though they can't be destroyed.

>>52085649
It's because the shiny surface thing is in the card, ink on top of it. The ink wears away and the shiny is more/better revealed. There's the one proxy mechanic, like you buy a genuine mtg foil, a crap one, use turpentine to get the ink off and print something on top of it or a transparent sheet and glue it to the card.

Do you guys have any mercy on multiplayer matches or are you literally Hitler?

Like when you see an opponent that is a bit mana screwed do you blow up their lands to ensure they can't do shit for the rest of the game or if a player is already almost dead do you automatically kill them so they have to wait like an hour until the match finishes?

I'm torn. If I think it'll ruin some one's enjoyment of the game I'll usually ignore them and try not to dick them over to bad but all my decks are built on making sure everyone stays below me so they often comeback and bite my buns.
So if it's casual just try to make sure no one is taking it too personally. If it's more serious I will use Acidic Slime + Blink engines to blow up your entire mana base and laugh at your bitch ass.

Also what is your thoughts on borrowing decks?
I borrowed some ones GayKingz deck the other day and almost cried at how terrible it was. It hugged way to hard. No Boardwipes, No targeted Removal, No counterspells. It was 100% just "Give your opponents stuff cuz haha isn't group hug funny!" and no wincon. But playing it made me want to build a Kangz deck with a lot of tempting people into over extending then wiping their shit.

>"Seriously, if you keep targetting me, i'm going to scoop now. Are you going to stop targetting me or am I going to scoop?"

Although, the best one I remember was in a game of modern, when the guy running FNM at my shop, after being land-starved 12 games in a row (with 28 lands in his 60 card deck) when he just stood up, yelled "THAT'S IT, I'VE HAD IT WITH THIS GAME!" and stormed out, leaving the other 2 guys that were helping him run it looking rather shocked and having no idea what to do.

Apparently he had the perfect turn 3 swing but he needed mana vault. he was so mad that he just ignored me up to the next game.

>>52082834
How would a single Blightsteel stop him from milling? It doesn't shuffle your yard into your deck, just itself. So eventually you'd mill every card but Blightsteel, draw it, and then lose next turn.

Yeah but no one actually plays EDH at that level whereas wedge goodstuff is standard fair for tiny leaders.

>>52089665
Yes, but Green has enough cards that are good enough to beat out the over-usage of Cyc Rift by sheer numbers. In fact, Green is the only color to not have any off-color cards in their top. Even Blue's got Eternal Witness and Swords to Plowshares.

>>52089681
yes thankfully we are blessed that in EDH the 100% deck building tryhards are shamed out of the LGS when they show up

i fear for the day that this fact changes though. if there is a large enough influx of new players playing shitty combo decks, it might happen maybe

>>52089721
Not sure how much of that was sarcasm but it's mostly a price barrier that keeps cunts from building T0 decks, and is the reason we see bad combo decks like Sharuum and Oona.

>>52089574
Cool. Maybe she can sit in the room, getting all the good vibes she can while I fuck Glissa with a Darksteel Condom...

It basically took out our Commander 'meta' for about a month. All but two or three of us dropped Commander entirely for Tiny Leaders. Some people spent literal hundreds of dollars converting their decks.

By the end of that month literally nobody played Tiny Leaders in this city.

>>52089892
I'm not being given enough context clues to understand whether you're making some ignorance is bliss comment or genuinely happy that green is so strong and I've even seen the latest Mad Max.

Please consider changing your posting style.

Sen Triplets. B..but they are robots aren't they?

Guys, I found a place where I can buy Mirage starting decks for 1€ each. It's only crap but there's a mystical tutor in each deck, it is worth it?

>>52088991
Why though? Just teach them how to build better manabases and when to mulligan

>>52090167
Yes.

A good amount of friends of mine are gonna try doing a house rules Partner commander game, where you can pair two commanders together as if they had Partner. The only real restriction is that they can't be overly retarded matchups like Kamahl/Bassandra or Karador/Glen Elendra.

What kinds of fun pairings would you guys make?

>>52090217
Nekusar/Nath or Melek/Wort

>>52090217
>Glen Elendra
I'm sorry, in what universe is a Plane a Commander?

>>52082492
I once kept killing someone's Bloodghast because he kept hitting me with it and everyone else was playing slow decks that weren't yet doing anything. It was more just general salt though and not any specific reaction.

>>52090217
Baral/Toshiro Umezawa

>>52090243
I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that, I meant to write Karador/Ertai, but Glen Elendra was part of our discussions.

>>52090259

Why was a Planechase Plane part of your discussion?

>>52090217
>Kamahl Basandra
>Karador Glen Elendra (Archmage?)
I'm not sure I understand the theme here or what exactly you're even talking about.

That said Brothers Yamazaki and Brothers Yamazaki, or Gitrog and Angry Omnath.

That's not a legend though. But it fits, that would be retarded in a pair up of Ertai and Karador

>>52090259
>Karador/Ertai
This actually raises further questions.

>>52090286
That's not Glen Elendra. That's Glen Elendra Archmage, which is a different card.

It's also not fucking Legendary.

>>52090217
>Kamahl/Bassandra
To make lands swing out for 2 mana?
Or to animate and use red and white sweepers?

To answer your question, I have a few:
Seshiro/Kaseto snakes
Zada/Rhys the Redeemed
Zada/Talrand
(Bosh, Kurkesh, Daretti, Slobad)/(Muzzio, Padeem, Memnarch, Arcum)
Talrand/Baral
Both Syggs
Sygg, River Cutthroat/Edric rogues
And my personal favorite:
Gitgud memester/(Madnath or Bororygmos Enraged)

>>52087779
>>52084427
I know about Stasis Kami, and a good number of my group does too, so I'd be a target from the get-go. Picking a group hug commander like Gay Greeks would just reinforce the idea of "I'm only here to help," then BANG, blitz out a horrifying stax lock out of nowhere.

>>52090283
I'd pair Gitrog with Borbiglioz.

>>52090283
Kamahl/Basandra just turns each game into rush your commanders out and force each land to attack each turn. There's worse ones, but that's just a nuisance.

Glen Elendra Archmage should have been Ertai, I was just blanking, my crew just hates the idea of those three being in the same deck.

>>52090303
I already specified I made a mistake.

>>52090217
>you can pair two commanders together as if they had Partner.
Slobad and Arcum all fucking day.

Live the UR artifacts dream.

In what fucking universe do you accidentally type "Glen Elendra" when you meant to type "Ertai"

What kind of fucked up keyboard do you have

I wan't to make a deck made around Aluren, what commander should i pick? Any interesting combos i should be aware of?

>>52090318
>I already specified I made a mistake.
You didn't, actually. You said "I meant to say Ertai, but Glen Elendra was part of our discussion."

I then asked why Glen Elendra Archmage (an entirely different card than Glen Elendra), a non-legendary creature, was part of your discussion about partner Commanders. You have not answered that question.

>>52090318
>force each land to attack each turn
Is your entire playgroup retarded? Why not just tap the lands?

>>52090349
Leave him be, friend, he fucked up

>>52090349
Jesus christ you are autistic.

>>52090338
I had a seshiro snake deck for a while though, because I usually have at least one bad green deck at all times, and when they spoiled Kaseto I wanted to build her, but I couldn't put seshiro in the 99. He's King.

>>52090348
>Any interesting combos i should be aware of?
Yeah you cast and resolve Aluren.

>>52090318
>my crew
Nigger, how the fuck does a single counterspell a turn even sound like a powerful play to you?

>>52090339
>>52090349
It was a mistake. Calm down. I meant to write out Karador/Ertai. The majority of my group's discussion basically devolved into Karador/Ertai meant we'd see them incessantly tutor for Glen Elendra Archmage and counter everything forever. Essentially a brainfart, the point was I was looking for fun commander pairing ideas, I got what I came for.

>>52090373
No, I'm just wondering how fucking stupid this guy is.

"Hey guys, what's your favorite hamburger? Mine is North Dakota."

"Dude, that's not a hamburger."

"Haha yeah my bad I meant to type Wendy's, we were talking about North Dakota when we were talking about our favorite hamburgers"

"...what?"

>>52090392
So your immediate response is "NO, TELL ME ABOUT NORTH DAKOTA. WHY DOES HE FRY THE BURGERS?" instead of "Oh, he fucked up. Whatever, he's retarded"? Fucking kill yourself.

>>52090348
>that flavour text
And who said the weatherlight crew was all bad?

>>52090392
There's a time and place to press people about their fuck-ups and why they fucked up. This is not one of those times, anon.

>>52090380
Not that guy but
>Single
Countering two or more spells on a stack is pretty relevant. Not to mention Glen Elendra constantly coming back can get pretty nasty pretty quick.

>>52090392
He did answer it already, he said that his playgroup did not want a deck with Ertai, Karador, and Glen Elendra in it.

>>52090412
No, I wondered "how the fuck did you get North Dakota from Wendy's?" and was frustrated at the response of "I FUCKED UP OKAY I MEANT TO PUT WENDY'S" ten times in a row.

I understand you didn't mean to put North Dakota, I'm just curious how the hell it even factored into the discussion.

>>52090412
Dear anon,

He's clearly trying to nitpick until you act like a dick. Perhaps you should shrug and stop replying.

Love,
Anon.

>>52090438
I'm mainly taking about the interaction (or lack thereof) between Karador and Ertai.

I'm at a bit of an impasse, I wanna play UB because it's one of my favorite color combos, but I'm also a huge izzet fag. When I tried playing a UB deck I felt kinda helpless without any artifact removal. I've decided I wanna build a grixis control deck, so Crosis or Nicol Bolas?

>>52090521
>One sacrifices creatures for value
>One gets back dead creatures
Yep, no interaction at all.

>>52090217
Ertai the corrupted and Merieke Ri Berit.
Taking everyone's creatures and then sacrificing them all to counter everyine's shit, I'd cum all over the table.

>>52090521

I'm afraid you all are too fucking awful at this game to continue talking to me.

>>52090618
I never said it was broken. You said you didn't see how they interact. That's how. I never said it was broken, I never even said it was necessarily EFFICIENT, but there's absolutely an interaction between "guy who sacs things for value" and "guy who gets things back".

Assuming we're not talking about the two with a Glen Elendra Archmage, the count drops to 1 per turn for free with a recast of whatever's in the yard, but adding that card makes this combination much, much nastier. Not to mention your question was about interaction, not the counterspell shenanigans. You're probably too retarded for it to be bait, so here's a (you).

>>52090667
>Glen Elendra Archmage sac: 1
>Glen Elendra Archmage sac after persist: 2
>Ertai sac's Glen Elendra Archmage: 3
How about you read those cards one more time retard.

>>52090667
So how exactly are you saccing the Archmage a third time?

>>52090700
>>52090714
Whoops, so that's 2 sacs instead of 3, which bounces up to 3 sacs if you kill any 0/1 token on your field, where you can still recast Glen Elendra Archmage from the yard. My mistake. Still a lot more than "1 counter per turn"

>>52090722
Okay but how are you reanimator that token each turn?
