How many reanimation spells should a reanimator deck run, and which are generally considered worth playing? I have a ton available, but I'm wondering if it's worth running things like twilight's call.

>>52976588
>What's the most underappreciated block/setting?
Block: Either Time Spiral or Ice Age. They both had a ton of weird, cool stuff. Ice Age is showing some wear from years of power creep but it's still where I discover a lot of bizarre effects with no remakes or even similars. And Time Spiral has those touches of batshit insanity that make it look like the average "Custom Card"/"You make the Card" effort got actual workshopping to be good. Looking at you, sprout swarm.

>Setting
Ulgrotha. Pity the cards were mostly trash.

Coldsnap/Ice Age for most underappreciated block.
Kamigawa for most underappreciated setting.

I always find a fun and wonderful Coldsnap gems for my deck. Latest one I started using was pic related.

Kamigawa is the most underappreciated setting. The block had issues but many were out of the block's control (like Mirrodin being the shitshow it was and Commander not being a big seller) but it was the 2nd to last block in which they took many risks during design (Time Spiral being the last).
>>
>>52976929
I don't know if I'd call Time Spiral underappreciated. It's normally cited by most personalities as their favorite set in addition to most people who were around during that time. Great block though.

Nekusar is literally sign in blood every turn, if you can't deal with it and not draw into removal you need to rethink your deck, never played against a teeg deck but plenty of anti bear cards to punish it in turn

150KB, 550x300px
Posted this near end of last thread so trying once more on one that isn't about to die:

About to buy a bunch of cards for a new Queen Marchesa deck, but was wondering if I left out anything extra spicy or if there's anything in here that's not as effective as I may think it is. Maybe there's too much removal or not enough creatures or something.

It may not necessarily win often with it, but I'm hoping that introducing Monarchy and playing hybrid pillowfort / group thug will be a fun new addition to the table.

Notable cards:
- Heartless Hidetsugu, Havoc Festival, Mana Barbs, Mogis, Spiteful Visions, and Sulphuric Vortex to kill everyone
- Dictate of the Twin Gods and Wound Reflection to kill everyone even faster.
- Ghostly Prison, Sphere of Safety, Norn's Annex, Island Sanctuary (not drawing doesn't matter if I'm the monarch), Kazuul, and Windborn Muse to not die.
- Deflecting Palm, Master Warcraft, Comeuppance, and Goblin Spymaster for hilarity.
- Humble Defector and Soldevi Sentry for goofy politics.

>>52977539
Depends on the group, and where 75% falls for your deck. To compare my first EDH deck with my latest, DGM Teysa durdle at 100% would be fine, but combo tribal Breya is probs gonna stay 75%ish just so I dont scare off the local Timmies & my casual buddies.

Make a judgement call anon, and if all else fails, ask your playgroup about it.

>>
>>52977689
In my extremely casual opinion, retrace cards like Worm Harvest and Spitting Image are okay for getting extra lands out of your hand (for Damia) or getting extra spells (from land draws if Recycle's out).

But if you've got Recycle or Null Profusion out AND keep Damia out then you don't have to worry about a thing.

>What's the most underappreciated block/setting?
Kamigawa remains one of my favorite Magic settings because it actually looked like it had some effort in it and didn't go for cheap pop-Japanese culture and myth and instead really dug deep for some interesting stuff. It's a shame that it'll either never get revisited or if it does it won't be the same.

My other vote for most underrated block is Lorwyn. I love a lot of the art and cards that came out of it and the fairy tale vibe it gave off was great.

Are you me? He's like the last interesting one though. Geth and Sheoldred are printed, Roxith is dead, and Azax-Azog and Vraan are dull as shit. OK, I guess there's Thrissik, who's fairly interesting and, IMO, one of the more likely Phyrexians to join up with the anti-establishment faction alongside Urabrask. Melira really fits the bill for his "destroyer" if you think too much about it but Krayanox is better, being a freaky oil-spider-oracle
>>
Besides Samut, is there replacement for Xenagos if you want to go more colors than RG?
>>
>>52978699
He was the one I chose to mention by name simply because he stands out the most to me. If anything Kraynox feels like he fits the bill for black Praetor better than anyone, possibly even better than Sheoldred who is pretty dead now. He embodies the Old Phyrexia way to a T. Roxith seems like he could've been cool too, but like you said he's dead.

It's a myth. There is no such thing as a deck that can win games against tier 1 decks and doesn't completely steamroll atog tribal.
>>
>>52979048
>he's never lost to an Atogatog with a fireshrieker.
>>
>>52979048
It's called control.
>>
>>52979539
Ok, so somehow you are playing a control deck that has good enough wincons to still win against tier 1 decks, and those don't work as well against shit decks.

Reread my post, I never said slow down tier 1 decks, I said beat them. A dedicated control deck with cheap answers can slow down the best decks in the format, sure. But how would one of those decks actually win against it, without stomping weaker decks.

If you wanna talk shit from here on out I'mma need a list negro.

Yisan scales with the table well as he's so weak to wraths and removal which are more prevalent in mid power metas than balls to the wall cutthroat.

Make decks strong enough to win consistently, but not strong enough to be oppressive to the rest of the playgroup by stifling game variance.
>>
>>52979674
Why do you think tier 1 decks don't run removal?

More importantly, why do you think that babbies casual decks somehow run more removal than tier 1 decks. The yisan decks I have seen typically play him turn 2 and win around 3 turns later. If you don't think consistent turn 5 wins with immunity from spot removal after you untap on turn 3 is too strong for casual tables it's probably because you don't understand the meaning of the word.

Like I said, there is no deck that does both.
>>
>>52979988
TFC runs Swords, Fire Covenant, Abrupt Decay and Chain of Vapor.

And how many tutors? A shit ton. Never mind the fact that if tazri just races yisan he should win anyway, so that's a bad example for yisan.

>What's the most underappreciated block/setting?
Plenty of people love it but I'd still say Tempest. The golden age of the game before Urza block ruined everything.
>>
>>52979988
That's a lot of presumptions there. I never said that T1 decks run no removal. They don't run as much as mid-high powered decks. There is a spectrum between Craw Wurm and Doomsday, no-one but you mentioned baby's first decks.
>>
>>52980067
I didn't mention Ydris whatsoever. That was another guy. You made the claim that T1 decks don't run removal but I listed one that has effectively 10ish copies of removal.
>>
>>52980158
There's now like 4 people discussing this and you're never replying to the right person.
>>
>>52980122
Negro what I am "presuming" is the definition of 75% which is supposed to be a deck that can beat tier 1 decks without steamrolling casual ones.

Yisan steamrolls casuals.
>>
>>52980186
I seriously do not even know what we're arguing anymore.
>>
>>52980224
Yeah, I'll concede that's true. I was a bit glib in how I said it, but I was meaning that Yisan is good for competitive and won't dominate "75%" scenes the way Tazri or Jeleva would. Maybe you can't build a deck that's ok across all power levels, but you can have one that can straddle a couple.

How is it stingy? MOST cards cost less than a dollar. Almost ALL expensive cards have marginally worse versions for under a dollar. If you can't put together a solid casual deck for under $60 then yes, you are bad at building decks. I've built a $60 Temur dragon tribal that slayed in casual, the most expensive cards were Deadeye Navigator and Utvara Hellkite. I've built a $60 Daretti deck that slays in Casual EDH. OH NO I had to skip the Arcbound Ravager, who gives a shit that one card isn't going to make the deck that much better, and it's not worth $35 for a silly little card. I have a family, a child, priorities, responsibilities, and I could have all the money in the world and STILL wouldn't waste it on super expensive magic cards, because that shit is fucking ridiculous.

I used to think that land destruction had no place in casual EDH... But now I realize I had a warped view of casual EDH. I used to think that cards like Sheoldred, Jitte, Ulamog, a few God enchantment creatures, etc all had no place in casual EDH.
Nowadays I realize that these things are fine for casual EDH, but with that realization I've also realized that Land Destruction should be fine as well. The truth is that if someone is playing mono red they not only can't take care of powerful enchantments but they have very few ways to take out creatures with over 7 toughness or indestructible creatures. So are you going to tell me that they should either A) get very lucky or B) willingly lose the game because they have no options?
No, neither of those choices are acceptable. The truth is that land destruction is the most powerful tool in Red's arsenal, not using it puts mono red players at a supreme disadvantage. If you feel like you're allowed to use supremely strong creatures "because they can be removed" or supremely strong enchantments "because they can be removed" then I feel that I'm allowed to use supremely strong land destruction "because you can run mana rocks".
And just as you say "Well you should run more removal!" I say "Well you should run more mana rocks!" and then you can say "Well I do but they aren't in my hand right now!" and I reply WITH THE EXACT SAME SENTIMENT towards removal.
So at the end of the day I say this; If the point of casual edh is still to win, which it obviously is if you're running $20 powerful praetors, then I'm going to do what I can to win, which is to keep you from being able to play those praetors.

Sometimes people don't understand how threatening certain cards are and if you're just defensively bitching about how your own board state isn't dangerous, people are going to get suspicious. Point out every time Mana Echoes, any of the legendary Slivers or other key pieces are on the board that those are top priority and if that player isn't dealt with, he will win. Eventually they'll listen unless your own autism is too severe.

i dont though, they keep saying the reason they do it is because one time like 2 months ago when i built a bruna deck i one shot everyone with extra turns and stuff. since that day i have never played that deck again but they keep bringing it up as if all of my decks are like that and they know damn well they are not

>this entire post
While some cards are cheaper than a dollar, if you run one sol ring, command tower, ghost quarters, or ANY colour defining card like rancor, stp, lightning bolt, or counterspell, you lose anywhere from 3-5 slots for cards PER CARD. What if something rises in price? Do you need to change your deck?

I can build a $40 deck, doesn't mean I should, and doesn't mean I'm bad if it's garbage water. If, as an adult, you can't save $100, you're an idiot who shouldn't have children, much less a hobby.

This statement holds true for any amount of money.

>>
>>52983182
Legitimatising action is relative to perception. If, by spending your money on your kids, you neglect yourself to the extent that you're a moody bitch, you're also neglecting your kids. Self-entitled holier than thou parents are a cancer because they're too consumed with their subjective wants to understand any form of introspection or critical thought.

$100 is $20 over five cheques. You have that much money, you're just using your kids as a crutch to justify your spendthrift attitude and poor deckmanship, and you should not be taken seriously.

You would need something that'll enable you to play multiple lands per turn. And while it's a neat card and would fit in well in such a deck, it seems like it would be a little low impact. Focus on card advantage and land ramp, ideally you shouldnt have to rely on bouncing your own lands to get the triggers.

This makes me sad because I know its true. We all know Kamigawa is not being considered for a return from what Maro has said before. Not to mention that people just arn't interested in deep cultural appreciation. All the cool stuff that only people raised in japan know about their culture that was put onto cards for us all to enjoy won't ever happen again. Truly a sad thing to think about. I probably dosn't help being a weeb and wanting to see more neat asian inspired shit.

I guarantee the next set with an asian feel to it will have the samurai tribal everyone craves, but other than that obvious nod fear the rest of it will be thin and uninspired.

>>52984416
Right, but that's reliant on having other people play lands. When I design a deck, I prefer to design it in such a way where what I want to do isn't contingent on other people doing or nothing stuff. In an Oomnath landfall deck, I would prioritize card advantage and ramp to having to rely on others to enable my ramp and triggers.

It's not a bad combo by any stretch, it's just a method I wouldn't do. Limit your opponents options.

1000% Bruna. At least she can instantly recover from any board wipe when you just re-cast her (except exile wipes), and she has far more synergy with aura voltron anyway. (plus her ability lets you attach things to her even if she has shroud, so you don't have to avoid shroud auras)

Land destruction doesn't hit Planar bridge and it's too little utility for me to play against almost any other deck.
Koskun Falls would be fine if they weren't ramping like crazy.
Mutilate whiffs because it rarely hits for -10/10 or more, these are green decks that outpace my landdrops by far. And it doesn't deal with the important fact that a dead ulamog or kozilek just recycles all their shit back for fetching (as if they didn't have enough bullshit abilities).
Toxic Deluge costs a fuckton of life to deal with one of them, and again shuffles them back.

Am I wrong to want to allow proxies in my casual group EDH? We just started up, and money really doesn't matter to me, I sold all my old EDH decks but I remember them costing upwards of like 1000 dollars, so I suggested everyone can proxy 10 cards worth less than 80 dollars each. Not for my benefit, for the other guys with less money, just as to not limit decks if they want to buy a doubling season but can't afford it. I figured it'd make everything relatively more fair as well. But I suggested it and everyone said it was gay. Am I wrong in wanting people to have better decks and not spend as much money?

If they don't want to, that's on them. They probably just want to build with what they have.

Half the people in my playgroup proxy tons of cards. So many people's decks have Gaea's cradle, Imperial Recruiter and other money cards out the ass. It raises up the powerlevel of some decks, but since everyone including myself are terrible at deck building it doesn't seem to have much of an effect.
>>
>>52986160
While I like this, paying 4 mana only to wait until next turn to get a 1/1 that I have to wait another turn to attack with seems like a bit much. I get that the scions can be sac fodder, or extra mana but it's just a bit of an investment for something that yields so little.

80 per card seems really fucking high. You don't need enemy fetches for a viable manabase. 3 or 4 allied fetchlands and then one of each shockland is a good start. At 80, you're just going to encourage people to use run things like Survival of the Fittest, Doubling Season, Force of Will, Mana Crypt, etc. Make the limit $20-30 per card
>>
>>52989645
I should add we agreed not to run broken shit in our decks. We banned soul ring and crypt and shit like that, and a survival deck is broken and I doubt anyone would come with it, everyone's pretty chill about their decks, no one ran prophet when it was legal cause it was fucking stupid
>>
>>52989690
>We banned soul ring


Sol ring is not broken
>>
>>52989690
Then why not drop the price point? I would argue that 90% of the cards above the $40 mark in the format are either "broken shit" or legacy lands. If mana consistency is the problem, just make it so people can proxy any land. I've seen playgroups where they've houseruled that guildgates = ABU dual lands

Just don't run Sheoldred because

I used to think that land destruction had no place in casual EDH... But now I realize I had a warped view of casual EDH. I used to think that cards like Sheoldred, Jitte, Ulamog, a few God enchantment creatures, etc all had no place in casual EDH.
Nowadays I realize that these things are fine for casual EDH, but with that realization I've also realized that Land Destruction should be fine as well. The truth is that if someone is playing mono red they not only can't take care of powerful enchantments but they have very few ways to take out creatures with over 7 toughness or indestructible creatures. So are you going to tell me that they should either A) get very lucky or B) willingly lose the game because they have no options?
No, neither of those choices are acceptable. The truth is that land destruction is the most powerful tool in Red's arsenal, not using it puts mono red players at a supreme disadvantage. If you feel like you're allowed to use supremely strong creatures "because they can be removed" or supremely strong enchantments "because they can be removed" then I feel that I'm allowed to use supremely strong land destruction "because you can run mana rocks".
And just as you say "Well you should run more removal!" I say "Well you should run more mana rocks!" and then you can say "Well I do but they aren't in my hand right now!" and I reply WITH THE EXACT SAME SENTIMENT towards removal.
So at the end of the day I say this; If the point of casual edh is still to win, which it obviously is if you're running $20 powerful praetors, then I'm going to do what I can to win, which is to keep you from being able to play those praetors.

proxies are an abomination unless you are trying to test out a 20+ dollar card to see if you want to buy it. if you dont want to pay money for cards go play on xmage other cuckatrice. if you cant afford to play expensive card then get better at deck building

So in a deck like Damia with things like Recycle, Null Profusion, Reliquary Tower, and Praetor's Counsel, what sort of shit do I want to throw in there as a win con? I mean obviously you're going to be drawing a lot of cards, but how do you use/weaponize that into something that can win you the game?
>>
>>52992761
It didn't, only that it has now a single piece of redudnancy, the rest of the deck is still usually garbage.

Yeah, that's because most people are idiots. Indomitable Ancients are bad, but you can build it around cards that are good that get better with Doran, like Tree of Perdition. Doran should be like a switch you use to turn your board lethal, not a switch to turn on the entire deck.

Yeah, that's it "in a vacuum". It's easy to recur, synergizes with other useful cards, and plays into the theme. I've probably activated a Necrotic Ooze with its ability as often as I've activated it for real.
>>
>>52994217
Or you could reanimate a game-winning card.

Or Necrotic Ooze could just win the game.

If your idea of a card being good is because other, better cards allow the card to be passable then you're an idiot.

>>52994290
My idea of "good" includes cards that get through on synergy, yes. Would you say something like Springleaf Drum is a bad card?

How can I make slivers and NOT be the auto target?

Why do slivers have such a bad rep?
Back when I started commanders like Rafiq and Kresh were red flags as well. But as they've fallen off the radar. Sliver decks remain as red flag. Why :(
>>
>>52994353
Tree of Perdition has as much synergy with Reanimate and Necrotic Ooze as Arbor Elf does. That does not make it a good card.
>>
>>52994379
Whenever you wonder why you're being targeted, ask yourself "what am I usually trying to do with this deck? why do I want to play it?". The answer will usually become self evident.
>>
>>52994379
>How can I make slivers and NOT be the auto target?
you cant, slivers get exponentially stronger every turn. if your group isnt killing slivers outright they are retarded
>>
>>52994379
The thing about Rafiq and Kresh is that although they can become big threats, it's still just that one card that's a threat. Get rid of Kresh and the deck is dead. With Slivers, they make a net where they all empower one another. Getting rid of one of them weakens them as a whole, but doesn't shut them down.

Creating my first EDH deck at the moment, it's a Krenko deck. Really struggling to figure out what cards I need to swap from the maybe/main board. It's all cards I own so I don't really want to buy anything new for it.

Can someone please explain the appeal of pubstomp decks? Theres an annoying beta male at my LGS who always pulls out Jeleva Storm or Zur every game against obviously non competitive decks like Aurelia, Norin, Erebos etc.,
He literally just brags about how his hands so nuts and is a turn 3 win and wins every game, also every time he draws a card he loudly and autistically shouts "well thats a card!" I dont personally play against him ever because im not a masochist but how the fuck can someone find that enjoyable? EDH isnt a competitive format if you want real competition and skilltesting games play a format with a banlist thats meant to facilitate a competitive environment, not pubstomp shitty theros god decks and then jack off to how "good" of a player you are.

You're narrowed into mono white equipment. It's enjoyable. Basically stack just about every legendary cat, cause they all work alright for this archetype, a select few of the better costed Mirrodin cats, grab some Kor and White Sun's Zenith. About 12 swords of $ and Bonesplitter and Batterskull etc, and a lot of white board wipes and removal. Make basically any cat legend your commander, probably Jazal. And there you go. Grab Stonehewer Gisnt and Stoneforge Mystic, and don't forget Masterwork of Ingenuity.

Skip cats that gain life.

Great suggestions. I also can't decide if I would recommend nahiri for this, or if she's too subpar and not-cat. But he should run this. It's very mild and low power level, but it's little ability is exactly what it would want if a last ditch equip is thrown on him. He gets small chance bonuses from Royal Caracle and Raksha. I've given low power cards a chance and they occasionally pull more weight at a better tempo than expected

And man it's soo pretty

Yeah, precisely because of that I feel really surprised (And RWx generals aren't lacking there). So far it seems I'm the only one running a card from the cycle, and thats a Riteknife because Goblin Sharpshooter is very fun with it, its my pet jank combo in Prossh.

Haste enablers for Krenko, Impact Tremors, Purphoros, Warstorm Surge (if you want a little extra redundancy). Outpost Siege is good if you plan on saccing or flinging your tokens since they'll deal damage when they die. Something to untap him like Sword of the Paruns (combos nicely with Ashnod's Altar).

I have an EDH tournament coming up. The rules are standard only cards. Standard banlist does not affect the allowed cards. (IE, Guardian, Emrakul and so on are allowed).

I was thinking of Jori-En, with an energy theme and Aetherworks Marvel and using ALL of the Eldrazi Titans.
>>
>>52998210
I used to think that land destruction had no place in casual EDH... But now I realize I had a warped view of casual EDH. I used to think that cards like Sheoldred, Jitte, Ulamog, a few God enchantment creatures, etc all had no place in casual EDH.
Nowadays I realize that these things are fine for casual EDH, but with that realization I've also realized that Land Destruction should be fine as well. The truth is that if someone is playing mono red they not only can't take care of powerful enchantments but they have very few ways to take out creatures with over 7 toughness or indestructible creatures. So are you going to tell me that they should either A) get very lucky or B) willingly lose the game because they have no options?
No, neither of those choices are acceptable. The truth is that land destruction is the most powerful tool in Red's arsenal, not using it puts mono red players at a supreme disadvantage. If you feel like you're allowed to use supremely strong creatures "because they can be removed" or supremely strong enchantments "because they can be removed" then I feel that I'm allowed to use supremely strong land destruction "because you can run mana rocks".
And just as you say "Well you should run more removal!" I say "Well you should run more mana rocks!" and then you can say "Well I do but they aren't in my hand right now!" and I reply WITH THE EXACT SAME SENTIMENT towards removal.
So at the end of the day I say this; If the point of casual edh is still to win, which it obviously is if you're running $20 powerful praetors, then I'm going to do what I can to win, which is to keep you from being able to play those praetors.

Anyone know of a good place where I can get my hands on Snow-Covered Mountains? I'm running a monoRed Lovisa deck and I want them for flavor and for cards like Wake of Destruction so I don't blow up my own Mountains if I need to neuter a Rx opponent. My main ordering site has them at $3 each and I really don't wanna shell out $60 for basic lands, at least not all at once.
>>
>>52999509
Really it comes down to looking through common boxes at shops and tournaments that have accidentally fallen in. The snow-covered mountain is the most valuable and you are definitely looking at $60 for a deck full of them if you buy them online.

>>52999322
I'm reading this and thinking that Rashmi energy is going to be a million times better. There's some ramp with wastes, new Nissa would work well with titans, better energy production for marvel and value (pummeler, servant) and so on. Problem is that a lot of people at my LGS are planning on Rashmi. So I was thinking Jori-En.

I also want to be in Izzet/Gruul/Simic because I don't really have the chase mythics in B/W, but I have playsets of everything in the other 3 colors.
