Hell yeah! I threw together a 30 minute brew with every r/g instant I could find and it still wrecked the table. When i actually put some effort into trading for specific stuff the deck became absolutely cutthroat (for my meta) it's great.

Cometstorm never felt so broken.
>>
>>52848009
The fetchlands and azusa are the most expensive thing in this deck. That's pretty cheap and good for a new player.
>>
>>52848063
Fetchlands are really expensive but in RG Omnath they're definitely better than other lands. It may or may not be worth $200 or whatever it costs. It would improve the deck but for the cost you could build another reasonable deck.
>>
>>52848087
I don't really care about the pricing.

I mean, they're fetchlands, it's not like I won't use them again. Buying fetchlands is always a good idea.

>What's a deck that you were hesitant about at first, but quickly became attached to?
I just threw together a shitty Kamhal, Fist of Krosa deck with stuff I had laying around and fuck me it's a good time. Overrun in the command zone is most excellent. Getting to Overrun with Kamhal followed up with a Overwhelming Stampede is just gravy.

>Grenzo, Dungeon Warden
It can combo fairly easily with stuff like Zulaport Cutthroat and none of the essential pieces really cost much of anything. It can also be built a ton of different ways. Your biggest cost will probably be an Ashnod's Altar.

>Sydri, Galvanic Genius
Get yourself an Aetherflux Reservoir and a Sydri. If you've got nothing better to do on top of that, get an Oloro precon and strip it for lifegain/Felidar Sovereign. Very high potential, even though everyone knows the "trick" by now. You'll mostly do lifegain tricks, but you can build in any artifact combos or deathtouch shenanigans you've got.

>Brago, King Eternal
If you can't figure out at least six ways to combo off with this cheeky fuck, there's always EDHrec. Panharmonicon will make you so hard that your opponent will hear the table go "thump", if you don't flip it in the process.

These are off the top of my head. I don't actually know what you meant by "75%", so these could be hilariously wrong if you're in an abnormally competitive meta or something.

>Alesha/Marchesa Mardu Reanimator
Probably the least budget, but the idea behind this one is endless sack and recursion effects. With Marchesa at the helm, you're playing a much more political game, and with Alesha at the helm, something way more aggressive. Recruiter of the Guard is a must have, and you want stuff like Karmic Guide, Siege-Gang Commander, and such. Probably not as good on the "Many ways to win" as the other decks, and I'm mostly shilling this one because it's my favorite.

Give us some examples of commanders you like, think you'd like, or the kinds of things you want to hose with hatred. Not saying I'll be much help because I'm a casualfag, but at the very least, I'm sure others in the thread will see it, be reminded of their own pet decks, and tell you about them.
>>
>>52847861
>What's a deck that you were hesitant about at first, but quickly became attached to?

My Dwynen elfball list. I built it after Eternal Masters because I wound up with a bunch of the common/uncommon elves. The deck tries to ramp mana into giant beasts. Needs a craterhoof, but it doesn't have one at the moment since it's part of a group of casual, low-to-mid power-level decks I keep around to teach new players and/or "go easy" on them before moving on to more powerful stuff.

It's one of my earlier decks, too. It's just fun as hell to play imo, even if it's not really powerful.

Horobi, Death's Wail.xlhq.jpg

>>52847861
>Thread question
Horobi, no doubt. I enjoy mono-color decks 'cause I like the challenge of adapting around a color's weaknesses and discovering its subtler strengths.

The moment I read Horobi's ability, I knew I had to slap together a deck. I didn't expect it to be successful; it was just a whim. I bought a few cheap cards and mixed them with some Black staples and Horobi-helpers like Sacred Armory that were already rotting among my garbage commons. I played a five-player match with low expectations for victory but high hopes for fun. Then the deck won. And it won again.

Now, it's one of my favorite decks. Tuning has granted it back-up win-cons for decks without many creatures, and it's shockingly durable thanks to cards that protect my stuff from Horobi's ability. Not to mention that it has spades of the best protection in EDH: politics. It can't keep up with super-fast decks, but as long as there's four or more players, it performs well.

As a closing, few things are funnier than someone floating ten mana to equip their five Swords of X & Y to their winning creature while Horobi is out.

I'm relatively new to edh. I've played a bit with a mimeoplasm deck that I enjoyed but was easy to hate out and a bit of a one track pony, a marchesa deck which was a lot of fun but also a bit linear, and I've been brewing a ertai combo deck which is just an artifact filled mess. Generally I play modern (storm, free win red, bw tokens) and I used to play pre-cat lady standard (control decks exclusively).
>>52848136
Neat suggestions anon, I especially like Sydri. I never thought of that combo.

A "75% deck" is basically a deck that's fair and fun, and can play against both top tier decks and more beginner friendly decks, even if it's not super competitive. http://www.gatheringmagic.com/jasonalt-021314-building-a-75-commander-deck/
Brago is probably far too competitive.

Oh and did you guys know? The state of feeling nothing at all, which is to say not even that "numb inside" feeling, is defined as "Atraxia". How neat is that? Atraxa has no red, no feelings at all.
>>
>>52848989
It's among the least interesting precon commanders ever made for one.
>>
>>52849012
No feelings, no freedom, no chaos.

Chaos is the natural state of being, so Atraxa isn't natural, even if she's green.

>>52849033
I can't tell if we're agreeing. Could you rephrase your point? She's definitely not natural. She's Phyrexian green, I suppose it's all in that strong > weak philosphy. Some sort of animalistic philosphy behind killing and eating people.

>>52849046
Keyword soup, basically. It's the definition of a boring and safely designed card. It has a keyword per color, pretty much. Gotta say, it isn't interesting in any way at all. Powerful, but not interesting.

By contrast, Akroma at least had a plot reason to be keyword soup. Atraxa doesn't even have that.
>>
>>52849105
I suppose those are alright reasons. Understand though that sometimes just the mechanical strength of it alone is the attraction. In a game that breaks down to math, huge numbers are cool.
>>
You saw how excited people on this board got for the thought of Halophed the 20.

It does virtually nothing, and deckbuilding revolves around eithet Planeswalkers, +1/+1 counters or Infect, which are among the worst mechanics in Magic's history.

>>52849142
What do you mean it does nothing? It's an objectively wonderful creature, in your own words it does a TON of shit. Give it a Sword of $. Or even just first strike.

>>
>>52849081
>thousand dollar infect deck
I'm pretty sure every Infect card added together isn't even $30, and regardless of how expensive your pump spells, tutors and manabase get the strategy remains non-viable.

I have to double down on this, explain yourself.

>>52849184

>>52849167
Non-card-based mechanics are fucking awful. Same with coin flips and other counters.

>>
>>52849223

>>
>>52849209
That does not make the strategy viable though. What is your gripe with an awful deck made expensively?
>>
>>52849123
>>52849105
Is she even really that powerful though? I mean I guess even in commander a 4 drop 4/4 vigilant lifelinking flyer is decent but in general I would say that's not where most "powerful" commander decks really want to be. I always thought Atraxa's appeal was her open ended ness. Proliferate is a well loved mechanic due to that, even if I feel Atraxa is a terrible inefficient (or maybe that's not the correct word as being a nice threat on top of it seems efficient... slow?) source at least purely as a counter generator. And being a Phyrexian doesn't hurt either for getting fans.

I'm building Toshiro Umezawa right now, and I'm really on the fence about including pic related.
If I do, I'll absolutely want to include shit like Thought Vessel, and maybe even a random Venser's Journal to counteract the stupid amount of shit I need to pay life for.

No, not really. But she doesn't "do nothing", she is strong in her sheer amount of abilities and goings-ons. Anyway, I think my original question was "why is everyone acting like Atraxa is the devil", she seems middling to me.

Oh man I bet you're so happy to have 60 life instead of 40 right now.
>>
>>52849304
She is middling and I've asked the exact question here. I think it's mostly just popularity which makes people think she is more prominent than she is. Breya was definitely the strongest new commander I think and Yidris is probably a close second and to be honest I feel a lot of his appeal is the colors but I dunno.
>>
>>52849352
Oh man, Breya. I haven't changed the deck at all, it's still totally precon. It's just fine as is damn

I know it's not the most amazing thing ever but I never thought I'd see the day where I used gruul turf as secret tech to reanimate an 8 drop holy shit.

I threw karrthus together with my zirilan EDH's dragons and a bunch of GB jank I had lying around and the deck is just insanely fun, really glad I decided to make it, can't wait to actually order some cards for it and tune it so it's not just 'random shit I found in binders' tribal, though I did discover a new fun card, Guild Feud is surprisingly fun in dragon tribal, kinda wish it cost 1 or 2 less but it feels great getting a free dragon most of the time.

New Converts edition eh?

Alright, I'll bite. Convince me, why I should play Commander and not something else.
I tried it in the early days, but it fell out of favor with me.

The competitive version is too competitive
The casual version is too casual

When I do feel like channeling my Vorthos into things I prefer making casual constructed decks, because they're infinitely easier to build.

I'm not a fan of the highlander 1 card limit thing, I like mixing 1-ofs with playsets.

What I do like about Commander is the Commander itself - the feeling of building entirely around a pet favorite legendary creature.
They're not all created equally though, and things seem to get degenerate at the 4-5 color end. (Although the new partner mechanic seems pretty cool)
The fact that multiplayer commander seems to degenerate into Stacks Vs Combo: The Politics pushes me toward duel Commander where aggro and control can feature more.

Duel Commander might be nice but I don't like how there's different ban lists and shit and the community around it seems shitty like the Pokemon Smogon faggots.

In many ways Commander just feels like chasing the elder dragon.
>>
>>52849723
The thing I like about commander as a competitive vector is building taking a commander with a build around ability and tuning that to its maximum. I think if you can find a group for it, that's the best way for you in particular to enjoy it. For example with the OP image of RG Wort. What's the best RG Wort deck?

I think you're remembering something slightly wrong.
You might be confusing it with Ataraxia, which means a state devoid of troubles, or equanimity.
You're allowed to feel good in Ataraxia, but only a calm, pleasant feeling. One's mental state has to be as tranquil as a still lake.

You rock shit like opalescence, and beat people to death with battle of wits.

Barring that you can ask your playgroup to break the rules for you to give you a big enough sideboard and then use research to get that shit in your deck. But if they are already breaking the rules for you they might as well just let you run a fuckhuge deck.

If you want to still be playing something that can be called EDH then I would recommend just beating people with it as a creature.

Quite a few of mine! Most notably Non-superfriends Atraxa (Started as Atraxa Energy but turned into "How many counter types can I figure out to proliferate?" I guess if having a couple PWs makes it superfriends, I'm in the same cancer boat as everyone else)

Not him but "the meta" just refers to any type of deck that is currently recognized as regularly played. He didn't say it was high tier, just that it was in the meta. You're confusing two different definitions.

>>52853262
Atraxa Superfriends is boring though, both to play and to fight against. Atraxa has just one keyword too much to be balanced - pick literally any keyword.

I've been wanting to get into EDH for a while now and I'm looking into budget decks to get started.
Zada looks like a cheap and effective starting point, but my main gripe with it is that it seems too uni-dimensional, with every game playing out the same. I'd like something with a bit more variance to it so I won't get bored quickly.
Any suggestions?

I pulled Pyramid of the Pantheon as my prerelease promo and don't know how to feel about it.

I like cards that cost little and give me something to sink excess mana into.

But it's a pretty awful topdeck.
>>
>>52853961
On the other hand, Gilded Lotus isn't a great topdeck either if you're looking for gas instead of more mana
>>
>>52853961
It feels like halfway between Lotus Bloom and Gilded Lotus, both of which I use but for different purposes. Gilded is great for tap/untap shenanigans and tapping immediately for mana, while Bloom is great when returned from GY to battlefield or cast for free. This does neither.

Lifelink is the keyword that they fucked up. You already get the proliferate from green, deathtouch is black, flying is blue, and vigilance is white.

Maro is a retard because he overcompensates by a single value constantly because he miscounts them. You can see it in the editing of modern card text: each quote that sounds idiotic is because one function too many was allowed to convey the thought.

Any ideas on what I could change to keep it decently budget but to make it a little more optimized or give it some more oomph? I'm looking for some dumb, fun shit to throw all over the place. I'd like a few more combos really. I think I'm finally breaking out of my funk by going back to basics, but I'd like to finish it off with some style.

Also, the Eye of Ugin is probably coming out because I don't really use it often.

Another way to look at it is a 25% winrate deck in the range of environments you want to play in. I'm a cheap ass who also likes good jank at any price, plus there's mostly wacky bullshit in my meta. I try to interact without tuning my deck to be effortlessly oppressive. I like to sideboard in super metaincestuous cards instead of "toolboxing ;)" every in-color tutor. It's a contradictory effort, but so is netdecking for fun.

Try Wort like OP says. Use absurd win conditions Scapeshift into Valakut + however many Mountains into copied Scapeshift, or copied Wake of Destruction, in order to blow up "laid back" but treacherous playgroups that can handle it. Purphoros gets better the more dorks you bring (I emphasize red board wipes and ramp over tokens and creatures). Side that brutality out for Revel of the Fallen God, Treacherous Terrain, Beacon of Destruction, other less whining-inducing spells. Decimate is sometimes tough to cast when everything keeps getting blown up by everyone. Seedtime wins the game if you have mana after you blow too soon, Pyroblast / Red Elemental Blast stop Deadeye Navigator (it's always Deadeye fucking Navigator) and help you blow cleanly and in a timely fashion. Stranglehold. That's all: Stranglehold.

Land is cheap for Gruul. You can use lots of basics anyways for Boundless Realms (copied, to their dismay).

Ephara is also cheap. I have written enough, however; I do not love her with Gruul love.
>>
>>52858283
Good political card. Like >>52858337 said, you can use it to strike deals and take care of problem players while also giving yourself a nice little boost. Political EDH is the most fun EDH.

>>52858118
Why not both?

It's a really good trap because it's almost always better to let a non-combo deck have an extra turn than an Ancestral Recall.

That list looks fun.

Personally, I like skyshroud claim for ramp and burgeoning is a nice ramp card that isn't too pricey. Also, if you like copying creatures, the new Vizer of Many Faces is basically 2 casts on 1 card with the embalm. If you're looking for mana dorks, the new Weaver of Currents might be a nice addition too. Greenwarden of Murasa gets you double graveyard recursion on 1 card. Genesis Hydra is pretty cool too.

I really think you'd be better served with at least 1 or 2 strip mine-type lands. Sometimes people get a strong land out that ramps them out of control or keeps you in check and that 1 or 2-of can save you.

Literally why? They don't even make good commanders, and they're mediocre beaters due to their lack of protection. If someone isn't reanimating one t2, they're literally a nonfactor, doom blade kills all of them but one, and you can just bounce them for U then laugh maniacally. LD is inherently noninteractive because it's designed to limit your opponents ability to respond.
>>
>>52860452
What would you do to break it? Cast Venser on top of it to bounce it then play it again? Which would cost 18 mana yeah?
>>
>>52859933
Yeah that was the point of saying it, thought that was obvious.
>>
>>52860493
The ruling says:
'9/20/2013 When the activated ability resolves, determine whether the targeted spell would destroy a land if it resolved right then. If it would, then counter that spell. Otherwise, it is not countered, even if the spell could, under other circumstances, destroy a land.'
If your lands are animooted, I'd say the spell is countered as it would indeed, in those circumstances, destroy one or more of your lands inconditionally.
>>
>>52860486

Easy as piss wincon for control decks that no color but blue can actually interact with.

Either play it with black for tutors and necropotence synergy or play with blue for accelerated card drawing.
>>
>>52860493
you could even make a "combo" with dryad arbor to prevent any wrath-like effect, I guess
>>
>>52860476
Why are you being a baby over LD anon. Do you get this way when someone casts wrath of God too, or are lands just super special cards that people aren't allowed to destroy because you said so?
>>
>>52860418
My average is 2.8, you generally want around 3 unless you're a Gxx deck or Maelstrom Wanderer.

Crucible is a staple in almost any deck. Recurring fetches, Strip Mine effects and various utility lands is well worth the slot, and discouraging MLD is a bonus.

On the fence about her, has anyone built her? How's the perceived threat at the table?
>>
>>52861415
Depends on what you're trying to do. Combo?
>>
>>52861439
Probably Lifegain shenanigans, B/W good stuff and reanimation.
>>
>>52861415
I built her as cleric tribal, but I'm pretty much targeted no matter what deck I play regardless of the power level
>>
>>52861492
Got a link to the list? I'm trying to gather up ideas for some neat Clerics to run, I always enjoy a good smattering of Tribal.
>>
>>52861415
>>52861483
It's pretty underwhelming to be honest. I built exactly that deck, you're just going to grind every game on forever and you're going to rightfully get hated on for filling your deck with board wipes or reanimating elesh born/felidar soverign.
>>
>>52861497
I already posted it in the thread:
>>52851637
>>52853183
Hope that it'll give you some ideas.
That said, it's fairly low power, but it has neat synergies.
>>
>>52861415
>perceived threat
Low, but she's not bad and gaining infinite life is incredibly easy with her. Just tutor up some greaves and then use them with Crackdown Construct, Daru Spiritualist, Task Force, or Angelic Protector. You can also get tricky and use Transmutation to turn all that toughness into power and then fling your clerics with Starlit Sanctum, but it's not easy to do.

After that you don't have many combo opportunities other than what's in her colors. I'd recommend some B/W good stuff and reanimation like >>52861483 says. I usually reanimate eldrazi for flavor points.

I also run a combo with Enduring Renewal and Blood Artist/Zulaport Cutthroat and 0-drops like Endless One or Ayli with Edgewalker's support.
>>
>>52861415
I think the power level on her if you go cleric tribal is pretty strong. If it were me I would hate on you because she can enable a few combos. With that casting cost though she can eat a lot of removal.

No matter what stage of the game, everyone at the table will be trying to keep you under 50 life.

Here's my list, but it may not be completely updated. I'm still trying to find an Ulamog to add as well.

My group has suddenly become obsessed with the Kingdoms variant of EDH. I think it's time to drag Zada out of retirement.

Only good for voltron, and there are much better voltron commanders. I played with him for a while and kept revising and tuning the list over time, but it always ended up getting boring.

It's so disgusting. Just go play Mario Party you degenerate.
>>
>>52862556
Memnarch, Ayli, Brion Stoutarm, Ghave, Hanna and Rith mostly. I have several more, but I play less with them.
>>
>>52862684
Hilarious, I play almost exclusively intoxicated and I have Memnarch, Ayli and Ghave as well. The only other decks I play are Uril, Brago, Lazav and Feldon. I was going to say something snarky about the correlation between your decks and your choice in fun, but you're alright.

I have around 10 decks in combinations of red blue and green. Help me branch out, what's good in black white or black/white?

Teya, Orzhov Scion
Marrow-Gnawer

How is she as a commander?
>>
>>52863489
Kinda lackluster, but if you have a slower meta she really powers up your late-game with the constant ramping.
>>
>>52863489
boring/10

All Karametra does is ramp into eldrazi, which is boring and you shouldn't do because it isn't interesting or even all that fun to do every game.
>>
>>52863489
A little dry and you'll be shuffling a lot. She's good as an enchantress general, but you'll probably grow bored of her quickly.
>>
>>52863523
Alright thanks

>>
>>52863597
Any colors is fine

>>52863560
Love them to a certain extent. Some of them are for assholes, but Azor's Elocutors are cool in my book. The tougher or wackier they are to pull off, the better. I play EDH for variety after all.
>>
>>52863560
I don't like lab maniac.

Everything else is just fine. I actually blew someone out by countering their rite of replication and then kicking my own on their biovisionary.
>>
>>52863560
They're like combos but less cheeky because you can see them coming if you don't know your opponent's deck
>>
>>52862960
I have a similar problem where i had two +1/+1 counter decks, and wanted to make a simic deck

I dismantled one of them turning it into a chaos 4 color deck that is pretty good with Saskia, now making a semi +1/+1 simic deck with other things as well, right now its an energy counter deck but thats pretty boring

Like a bunch of anons were saying earlier, Gruul Wort is great. She's G/R spellslinger which is a niche no other commander fills and she's pretty budget.

Made it a bit easier to read.
>>
Favorite mono colored generals?
>>
>>52858283
At worst, it's a Concentrate that's easier to hit outside monoblue. And sometimes your opponents will think that they'd rather not gas you up and you can rock the extra turn value.

It's a little like Browbeat in 20-life formats: the choice you offer is between something on curve and something on curve, both of which are good general use and basically dead never.

Plus, >>52863585 put that on a stick.
>>
How do I build Yidris goodstuff? Maelstrom wanderer deck plus black? Any suggestions?
>>
>>52864101
Build if you don't mind your turns taking forever to resolve
>>
>>52864038
Probably Feldon just because he has such amazing flavor.
>>
>>52864142
it's just a fucking old guy??
>>
>>52864038
Probably Kemba. Though anymore, I'm looking for either something that's her, but more, or something that's her but at least multicolor. Kemba's dope though, and creature type cleric is a small cherry for me as they are my top favorite class outside MtG too.
>>
>>52864183
You've gotta be kidding me. Take a closer look at his art.

Sounds like fun. Almost as fun as the time we unbanned Shahrazad for a game, let someone cast it, and then someone copied it 10 times.

And we played it out. Took 5 hours.

I really like the idea, but I'm wondering if there's any good land creature synergies/combos.

I just bought the Yidris deck.

Is there a wincon to this deck or piloting hints?
What meaningful upgrades can I make to it?

Commander deckbuilding tips?

What would be a contrasting style but still fun commander deck to build?
>>
>>52865321
>>52865284
Yeah, that and anything else that you can use to prevent a stray Wrath of God or what have you from completely blowing you out.
>>
>>52865284

My Gitrog deck started out as manlands because I didn't want to do the typical meme frog horseshit, but as I fine tuned it, removing cards that under performed, before I knew it it was typical meme frog horseshit anyway.
>>
>>52865327
Value town. Ideally, the moment Yidris connects should lead to your victory because everything you play has a good chance to be an explosive play.
>>
>>52865327
I've seen people build yidris storm, the precon is more of a wheel deck, it doesn't use Yidris to his full potential
