Just ordered a foil Tariel. I'm not a huge Wayne Reynolds fan but her art is pretty fucking metal. Face is a little derpy and the detail sucks, but hopefully that won't be noticeable in card form.

I also like the colors and I wanted a go-tall reanimator deck. I have a cleric deck which also plays reanimator but focuses on cheap creatures and mass reanimation like Rally the Ancestors, Wake the Dead, and Return to the Ranks. I think I'll build this one to force as much sacrifice and discard as possible, then reanimate fat demons and shit.

It's either Boros, Orzhov or Azorius. I don't like Mardu, USA or Esper that much though, even though I have tried all of them and am brewing a sphinx tribal discard Zur, Espertai or Triple Tits, haven't decided which one, but probably end up with Zur

The decks I mostly play are Stoutarm, Hanna and my super janky Ayli cleric tribal, which has been much more fun than I originally anticipated.

Predict, Lab Man, Reanimate, Gush, Probe.
Also Unearth and Meditate can be used to good extent. Most important thing is to use the best low CMC shit, even if it costs other things.
If you play Doomsday, you go all out, since if you don't win the turn you play Doomsday, you're going to lose anyway.

Sans black is the best color combo

That means that you're losing it if you don't happen to have creatures you dense mongoloid.
Saccing is fun sure, but needing to feed shit constantly to that piece of shit ruins the whole card. What's the point even playing that if opponents are smart enough to play artifacts?

>>52563519
Not him but I run contamination in mono b and just having it out for 1 or 2 turns will give you an incredible advantage- much larger than the cost of saccing a couple creatures. Even if they have mana rocks out its cutting their mana production in half or worse most of the time and completely turning off their ability to cast spells with heavy color costs, that is invaluable.

Note that the ETB effect isn't a "may" effect - you have to pay 2 energy and keep the card on the battlefield if you can. Which means you can only play him twice unless you have an energy outlet.

>>52563836
Most of the time it's 3 ETBs for G ea
At best it's an endlessly reusable ETB every turn with Aether Hub, or more than once/turn with an outlet
At worst it's a 3/4 chump for GGG (not 1)

I don't think it's worth it, but if something happens to your commander (I'm assuming Roon) you have some backup ETBs. There are probably just better options (Displacer, Closet, Brago, Thrag, etc)

>>52563921
>singleton format
Tutors are great
>double normal starting life total
Life is twice as expendable

I really don't see why anyone would argue that black isn't spectacularly suited to EDH. I never said you have to be bad to not play black (personal preference trumps everything), but you have to be bad to not recognize its strength. All 5 4-color combos can compensate so well for the missing color anyway.

Leovold Doomsday faggot here. My ideal pile, assuming an empty board, is predict, lab man, unearth, street wraith, probe. Total cost is 1UB and four life. Replace either of the cantrips with gush if you're at low life.
Pro tip, for every cantrip you already have in your hand, you can replace a draw spell in the DD pile with some kind of protection, like a counter.

Does anyone else get a volcanic, pulsating dick from this card? You get not one, but three(3) *artifact* creatures, plus a free 3CMC bonus of your choosing. Holy shit, do you know what this means?! First off, that's potentially four creatures for 1 mana each. Four etb triggers that make blockers and perfect fodder for sac abilities(Ashnod's Alter ramps you for a colorless refund) or other effects. That last creature can also be just about any hate bear or utility creature you need. No creatures? No problem! Throw down a Vindicate or Detention Sphere instead. Did I mention you also get artifacts? You now have Puresteel Paladin with metalcraft built in. The only thing this card doesn't do is fuck your wife while you're too occupied winning games!

An easy control esper deck is lifegain oloro.
Win cons being aetherflux reservoir, felidar sovereign, test of endurance, and maybe mechanized production.

It's simple, it's easy, and arguably overpowered.
People will bag on it for being the """thinking man's deck""".

In the end, play what makes you happy. Just be aware some people may think you're that guy.

Nothing wrong with oloro. Some people just really dislike the legendary,that's all.

Another option for esper control is ertai, the corrupted. (There are two arts, make sure you pick your favorite! )

My mono blue deck combos with Mind Over Matter and temple bell/otherworldly atlas (+ 1 mana for when I draw into feldons cane) to win. I also run leveler/labratory maniac.

Considering another win con is killing your opponents with their own commander's command damage is a thing, its pretty fun.

Oh, and gaining control of an enemy's commander is the "new" tuck, considering they can't send to command zone instead. You shut down any decks that are reliant on commander to function in the worst way possible. You are also in colors to run imprisoned in the moon, darksteel mutation, nevermore, declaration of naught.
Use these wisely on enemy commanders.

Shutting down a deck is surprisingly easy when 80% of players build decks that CAN'T function or barely, BARELY function without their commander on field.

It depends on how competitive you care to be. Like >>52567097 said, $300 wont get you a good mana base, or some of the better staples, but it will get you something playable. I mean you won't be able to buy a perfect deck for any commander at $300, so pick something you like and give it a go.

Grenzo seems like a fun card. I've tried to shove him into my Marchesa and Alesha decks as part of the 99, but he didn't fit as well as I would have liked. I don't have a mono red deck, so perhaps I'll try to build one with him as the commander at some point.

welcome to edh friend. i like the look of your deck, it seems spicy

if you're worried about having enough cards in each category, just use this simple guideline:

>15-20 cards that play into your main strategy (in your case, this would be goblins and goblin synergy)
>9-13 cards that play into your secondary strategies (in your case, this would be ramp and sorceries that you want to copy)
>5-9 cards that feed into your auxilary strategies (tutors, draw, etc.)

curve isn't really that important, just avoid low value spells and have a good ramp base. i typically put 12 ramp cards in all my decks, even if they have low curves since i use tons of draw in them. my orzhov lifegain deck has 13 ramp spells and 13 draw spells. you don't need to worry that much about manafixing either in a 2-color deck with green. just fetch your lands with your cultivates and explosive vegetations

if you're looking for spicy tech, i'd look into edhrec, or if you want some REALLY spicy tech, go down to magiccards and search for goblin synergy, or really fun sorceries to copy

Yup, it's combo time. She goes infinite pretty trivially with Blowfly infestation -- it alone for infinite ETB triggers (Sadly she cannot run Impact Tremors) or with Nest of Scarabs and/or Flourishing Defenses for infinite tokens. At 2 mana for her and 3 for her critical pieces, with black in her identity? Seems good. Infect as plan b to infinite tokens?

Yawgmoth bless Phasing. Flavor win if you do this to Jhoira or Teferi

Pro Tip: You can do it with white instead of green by using Soul Sculptor to remove creature-ness instead of Song. Now, Temur is probably the stronger identity but White can tutor for enchantments (Like Bludgeon Brawl or backups to the others like Carry Away or Teferi's Curse instead of Magnetic Theft or Reality Ripple)

He's fine, but too expensive for my tastes. I want to draw to my combo pieces as soon as possible and I figured that grouphug is the cheapest way.

>>52574725

What are the best cards for restoring your board? I'm thinking you play Genesis Wave or Hunting Grounds after a wipe until you find Praetor's Counsel.
>>
>>52574905
Do you want monogreen or other colors too? Living Death does the trick in black, even better if all others have already rebuilt their boards in the meantime. White has Second Sunrise and friends. Red has Daretti and Welder for artifacts. Blue is kind of shafted here, but blue should be countering the wipes in the first place.

>>52575066
I'm more so saying that lightning bolt is godly in 60 card but close to worthless in EDH and if it had a lasting effect on creatures then it would have a big impact on the way burn could be played in EDH. Doesn't have to be burn your way through their life.

While not visible on the card, whatever is phased out via reality ripple, will phase back in during the upkeep like normal.


So instead, you phase the token the equipment is attached to. Tokens cease to exist once phased, so the equipment is forever phased out.

>>52575365
It'll phase back unless it's attached to something that ceases to exist (A token). Bludgeon Brawl is necessary.

>>52575365
Nope, it would simply phase back next turn. However, permanents attached to another permanent that phases out go with it. (This is called indirect phasing.) Normally, they would all return together on the following turn, but since tokens cease to exist as a state-based action when phased out, the commander will be sitting phased out waiting for an event that can never happen.
>>

Welcome to ashling boi
>>
>>52575660
Yes you need the combo.

The target commander, cannot be the target of reality ripple.


Reality ripple will phase something out, but included in that process is the target will phase back in during the next upkeep.


To prevent this, you must indirectly phase (making the commander a equipment, as all permanents attached to something phasing, phase with it)


You use a token, because tokens cease to exist one phased. So the commander who is currently an equipment attached to that token, phases out, but not being the primary phaser (The token) it cannot phase back in.
>>
>>52575632
Depending, that might not be much.

>>52575678
I don't understand what that means.
>>
>>52575707
Wouldn't it just stop on the next turn available? Or do you mean goad it all and skip all turns to make people kill themselves?
>>
>>52575722
Thank you and other anon for the explanation. I've never encountered phasing in an actual game.
>>
>>52575732
Hide behind pillowfort, skip turns while you're ahead, use Battle Suit if necessary. Alternate plan could be Smokestack (can set it up easier with extra turn from Magosi) and let it sap your opponents while you skip turns.

>>52575757
not a problem, its an incredibly janky combo that relies on an older janky mechanic.
>>
>>52575660
I'll put the full explanation in a single post, since it's a little broken up.
The combo works by turning the commander into an equipment, equipping it to a token, and phasing the token out. First of all, you need the commander to not be a creature, as equipment that are creatures can't equip anything. Song of the Dryads does the trick, as does other stuff like Imprisoned in the Moon. Next, you'll need it to be an artifact so Bludgeon Brawl will work on it. Once it's an equipment, we can use magnetic theft to attach it to any creature token (doesn't matter whose), then Reality Ripple to phase the token out. When a permanent phases out, so does any other permanents attached to it, meaning the commander goes with the token. Since the commander phased with the token, it waits until the permanent it phased out with comes back and follows it. However, tokens that phase out cease to exist as a state-based action, meaning the commander is waiting for a thing that no longer exists. As a result, the commander is stuck in a state where it can't be interacted with and can't be brought back. (Short of restarting the game with Karn Liberated.)

Can someone bluepill me on EDH/Commander

Diehard pauper player here, I like to brew, fail/win, rebrew fast at a relatively low price point weekly. It gets me extremely off, especially on person.

And lately a friend asked me if I wanted to join their commander group but honestly it doesnt seem very appealing to me because

1)Ordering 100 cards and keeping track of them seems like a huge hassle
2)Liquidating them seems like a huge hassle because you dont have playsets of a particular card
3)It seems hard to build a deck that caters to a certain synergy or direction you want your play/board to go but rather just playing a bunch of "good-stuff" cards everyone who plays the same color will also have making all the decks more or less the same
>>
>>52575804
If you want a Pauper-ish general, play Zada. Features lots of very cheapo commons and the occasional nickel rare like Fiery Gambit.

JUDGE

when I am in control of my opponent (say, through using mindslaver, or new emrakul) can I decide to send their commander to exile or graveyard if given the opportunity?
>>
>>52576438
yes sir, you are in charge of all the decisions they could make.
714.5. While controlling another player, a player makes all choices and decisions the controlled player is allowed to make or is told to make by the rules or by any objects. This includes choices and decisions about what to play, and choices and decisions called for by spells and abilities.
>>
are there more cards like realmwright that combo with valakut? would like to avoid blood moon as i could potentially hose myself
>>
>>52575799
It also works that commander becomes phased out when something that says that untap steps are skipped, such as Stasis or Sands of Time. It will come back if the skipper is removed, though, but as long as that player skips the upkeep, it stays forever gone.

I just looked it up, and apparently this was already asked on mtgsalvation. According to the thread, all creatures and lands would become 1/1 mountain saprolings, with the ablity to tap for one red like normal mountains.

>>52577545
You'd have to thrown an Enchanted Evening into there.
>>
>>52577502
>Suspend card
>Black Lotus iteration

The price will lower slightly but since the card is unlikely to get a reprint anytime it will not return to the previous price level.
>>
>>52577793
Yeah but it'll literally only be used for a meme deck
>>
>>52577793
It already got a reprint though
>>
>>52577830
Do you remember the eggs deck? It ran Lotus bloom as a 4-of and was one of the main targets for Reshape.

Lotus Bloom is one of those cards that people hold onto in preparation for weird decks since there are not a lot of cards that operate on a similar level.

It is also unlikely that Wizards will ever make a stronger version of the 'Black Lotus' effect making Lotus Bloom
redundant, since even the suspend 3 is pushing it.

>>52577877

In the original Modern Masters which was a very low print run.

all right, two questions

tapping a land is instant speed, right? and you can cast with any extra mana in your mana pool before in empties at the end step?
>>
>>52575804
EDH has a retardedly huge cardpool, basically every strategy has enough support to make a fully synergistic deck, and if you want to build specific boardstates there are plenty of tutors available to you.

If you're a bad deckbuilder you'll build goodstuff, but it's easy as hell not to.
>>
>>52578191
how else would you play instants????
>>
>>52562882
Who has a Gideon tribal list?
>>
>>52578191
Tapping a land for mana is a mana ability, it happens faster than instant speed and cannot be responded to.

>before in empties at the end step?

Mana empties as every phase change

Upkeep -> Draw -> Main Phase -> Beginning of Combat -> Declare Attackers -> Declare Blockers -> Damage -> End of Combat -> Second Main Phase -> End Step

Each one mana will empty
>>
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/affirmative-actiondec/

good, bad, or ugly?
>>
>>52575804
Goodstuff is cancerous, but not necessary. Basically the only "you need this" card is sol-ring.

Liquidating is a problem yea, if you plan on cycling quickly through decks. I tend to pick a commander and improve it piecemeal over time on the cheap as I learn the deck's strengths and weaknesses.

Commander can be all about synergy. You are literally building around a card, after all.

>>52575829
Seconding Zada. New Ezuri is another budget option.

Speculators really are lower than dirt

You don't think Price of Glory or Fiery confluence?
>>
>>52580822
wait... explain gut shot to me. why are you running this
>>
>>52580960
Gut shot is being trialed as a means to generate the ping of damage to be able to summon Rakdos without needing either board presence nor an open target, and it doesn't require that I have any mana dedicated for it.
>>
>>52580953
i like land destruction, so i like price.
confluence gives you flexibility, dont cut that.

>>52580972
i think you have enough of that to get your guy out. run blood moon instead
>>
>>52580990
I liked the idea of having another option available to me that could be used without mana but perhaps you're right. Price does more or less lock out Blue or white from interacting with me on a big turn. I'm on the fence about Blood moon, it doesn't ruin me as much as much as it might others, I'm still running quite a bit of non-basics in my deck.
>>
>>52581029
then cut them for basics. youre only two colors and youre red anon. lighten up a little, use a blood moon
