Satin tower is pretty good, it can easly hold a double sleeved deck with room to spare for some tokens. Only thing I don't like about it is the size can be a problem when you start packing multiple decks around.

I have no personal experience with her, but I'd like to put her into my Sygg, River Cutthroat deck (which is filled with some unblockable weenies and several blockable beatsticks.)

Just put together a Trostani EDH deck.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/trostani-and-her-clone-legion/

The idea behind it was to use cards like Soul Foundry, Minion Reflector and Mimic Vat to create tokens of non-token creatures that had useful abilities (ETB's, LTB's, static buffs that scale well in multiples).

Haven't actually played with it yet, and I know there's a ton of good cards I'm still missing as you can see in the maybeboard, but any input would be appreciated.

Especially when it comes to creatures to copy repeatedly.

Anon asking about Azorius deck from last thread. The commander is Brago, so I obviously have a decent amount of creatures with ETB abilities, mana rocks, and enchantments that like to blink for draw or to change targets. My question is: Is it worth it to include more flicker sources as a backup just in case Brago gets hate or I can't cast him? I've got Deadeye, Turn to Mist, and Ghostly Flicker for now, but I wonder if more or less redundancy would be helpful. I'll keep Deadeye for sure, but I'm unsure about the other two. Turn to Mist seems like a good utility card for flickering creatures for effects or to dodge removal and Ghostly Flicker seems decent as a backup flicker card for various tricks.

I'm trying to strike a good balance between flicker stuff and general purpose cards/threats beside I'm going for more of a tempo deck rather than straight stax (meaning nothing like Tangle Wire, Winter Orb, etc.). I don't want my deck to fully depend on Brago, so I'm trying to strike a balance. Brago is obviously powerful and can sometimes end the game with one attack, but I need contingencies.

Ashas favor on Marchesa or a token gives first strike, death touch, and flying, but I agree it is low power.

Last week a guy at my LGS cast a Ruination, when nobody countered it he just followed it up with an Armageddon.

Then another guy floats all his mana as his lands get blown up, and after the MLD guy spent the last of his mana, overloads a Cyclonic Rift.

He was super salty at getting all his manarocks bounced.

Then the guy who cyclonic rifted won as he had a Sylvan Library and a Gilded Lotus in play while everyone else had an empty board.

Honestly the guy is insufferable he's always bringing precons or draft scraps knowing what we play and gets mad about not being able to deal with certain cards and when we tone down the power level he still complains.

>>53486274
Takebacks are crap I understand but he wanted it and the king's didn't care since he was more annoyed that the guy was taking forever
>>
>>53486174
We allow takebacks as long as:
>Nobody has drawn a card
>Nobody has made a decision based on the action that would be taken back
>No additional cards have been revealed since the action was taken

So you can play a land and then say "Whoops, meant to play my other land" or if you tapped both your black mana for a 2U spell and realize you wanted to cast something with B in the cost, you can retroactively tap a different land instead, etc.

We have too many sloppy players too used to sloppy play to really get any traction with hardlining the rules, so this was a "fair" concession.

>can they pay her ability cost multiple times in response?

Yes.

>What about trying to move it onto a Sakura-Tribe Elder?

They can just sac it.

On the other hand, you don't decide whether or not you'll be moving it until you're resolving the ability. When they play the Jhoira, all you have to say is that the trigger is put on the stack. They have to decide whether or not to spend the mana now, or wait and see if you decide to put the enchantment on her.

spells that gains more card advantage
looting, cantrips, graveyard retrieval, and my fave is land ramp/hate. preferably cards that do or remove two things or can recur itself for more usage.

You mean something that's nothing like this? That's like 70% of cards you're swapping out of that. Try maybe finding something more budget from the get go instead of starting from the most expensive possible point and trying to compromise form there.
>>
Seeing as I can't see a gA thread anywhere, maybe I can find my answers here.
If I have a Solitary Confinement on the board and my opponents have a guttersnipe and a blood artist on the board do their abilities hit me seeing as they don't specifically target a player? ("each player" rather than "target player")

Also, redpill me as to why my next deck shouldn't be Arjun Miracles
>>
>>53488520
If it doesn't say target, it doesn't target.

Guttersnipe gets around shroud, but the damage prevention stops it. Blood Artist isn't damage, but it is stopped by shroud.
>>
>>53488520
Blood artist targets, Guttersnipe hits you but doesn't do damage. However, Zulaport Cutthroat hits you and you lose life.

And you shouldn't, because miracles are really limited in just UR, netting you just 6 cards you can play, Thunderous Wrath being pretty much unplayable.
>>
>>53488554
>>53488588
Thanks for that. I'll have to inform my table about that for next game, I got screwed by them then.

Yeah I guess it's not a great idea, just the thought of wheeling into miracles sounded lulzy, and a way to win with Arjun that isn't just labman. Back to the drawing board
>>
>>53488716
Nothing wrong with that, but unfortunately you still have to draw the miracle card first with his ability, so you'll need a hefty amount of topdeck manipulation either way, without proper benefits really.

Just get good with the proper 4chan meme lingo so you don't look like a total square.

>>
>>53490840
I didn't call it bad, I just said that I'm weary of using because it's 4 cmc and I usually need to start flickering early. That and I'm trying to not solely rely on flickering. It's a pretty decent card, but I'm not sure what to take out for it.
>>
>>53490977
If you aren't flickering as a main strategy, I can see your point. Might as well just stick with Eerie Interlude or Ghostaway to act as a responds to wraths then.
>>
>>53490927
I don't think he was referring to the 4 mana card specifically (I'm the anon who asked for suggestions) and was likely more referring to the statement that other anon made about how worrying about mana cost isn't like EDH general.
>>
>>53490927
Just that "mana costs are irrelevant in EDH" attitude is bad that radiated from the post.
That said, Eldrazi Displacer is way better than DEN
>>
>>53490927
Also I didn't realize you were talking about Mystifying Maze. That shit can't even be used on your creatures, so who the fuck cares
>>
>>53491006
And both are better, period. Redundancy is important in EDH, especially if you aren't loaded up with 5 tutors.

>>
>>53491001
Flickering is my usual win con (typically via Alter of the Brood and copied Brago triggers), but since I'm playing a tempo list I want to have a lot of flexibility and I don't want to overly rely on flickering just in case I catch too much hate.

>>
>>53491006
No one said mana costs are irrelevant in EDH, just that complaining about a highly abusable ability costing 4cmc without the need to tap it isn't something most EDH decks need to worry about. If you are flickering something like Duplicant, you are generating card advantage by not playing something and repeating spot removal with just 2 cards on board, all for just 4 mana.
>>
>>53491006
I'd say that DEN > Eldrazi Displacer myself since its flicker ability costs less, doesn't need anus mana, and doesn't bring the creature back tapped.
>>
>>53491075
Huh. Well, all of the cards were talked about and I just instantly connected the 4 mana with Mystifying Maze. I have never played MMW in any of my decks
>>
>>53491116
Sure, but I feel like that the anus mana is only fair point, although in any game I have lots to spare from mana rocks. DEN still costs more and it's dependant on the soulbond, which means that it's fairly easy to respond to with a kill spell, and also it can't blink opponent's creatures, which can be a huge advantage every so often.
With DEN, it can protect itself somewhat, unless your opponents play properly, but Displacer probably would have been way too powerful if it could've targeted itself.
>>
>>53491112
Not only that, but Evokes g Mulldrifter for 3, flickering for 4 on the stack, will generate 4 cards and a 2/2 flyer for 7 mana.

The Witch can pull off some good late game synergy for those who can understand how powerful instant speed repeatable flickers can be.
>>
>>53491211
I'll probably use both for redundancy's sake. I usually have a decent amount of sources of anus mana at a time anyway.
>>
>>53491253
I'd say that all Mistmeadow Witch, DEN and Displacer are auto-includes in any blink deck that is UWx, which is usually the case anyway. If there's green included, I would also play Temur Sabretooth, which is damn good, although you still need to cast creatures again you bounce.
>>
How many Counterspell should an EDH deck have if Countering isn't their thing?

I always feel like if I don't see one at least once late game, I'm just going to get Wrathed off the board before pushing for a win.

>>53491298
here's the numbers for card categories that i use, depending on their role

>35-40: cards i need 3-4 in my starting hand, ie. lands
>15-25: cards that i need 1-3 in my starting hand (15 corresponds 1, 25 corresponds 3), like good recurrable targets in a recur deck, or ramp in a ramp deck
>9-15: cards that i need about 1 of in my starting hand or a few turns later, like a draw spell
>5-8: cards that i need about 1 by turn 5, like a board wipe or something like that
>1-5: cards that i don't need except in rare lategame situations, like a very high cmc or niche wincon

i'd go with 5-8 counterspells in your case
>>
>>53491297
Would you take those three over other flicker spells like Turn to Mist or Ghostly Flicker? I'm trying to figure out how many I should settle with.

Also, is Angel of Serenity worth a slot as a curve topper? I have Fiend Hunter, O-Ring, and Detention Sphere for the ol' flicker on the stack to perma while trick and I was wondering if she'd be worth it as a big exile effect on a decent body.
>>
>>53491418
What the fuck is this mess?
>2 mana costs
>Venser as card, Linessa as art
I don't like it. It's too messy. Why even use another card as art, that's confusing as hell, at least I usually recognise the cards from the art.
>>
>>53491298
I usually take about 5. The usual suspects are Negate, Arcane Denial, Remand, Counterspell, and Swan Song. Sometimes I use different ones depending on the color combo, like Plasm Capture in GU or Cryptic Command in mono-U.
>>
>>53491424
>>53491465

Here is the deck in question (obviously still a work in progress).

Some choices are there for flavor purposes. and I intentionally left out the boots in mainboard because this deck is a part of a series I'm building with all the original Primeval Dragons (as a way to get new players into EDH, so I wanted to keep the decks in check with each other somewhat).
>>
>>53491546
Derp. Here's the link:

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/crosis-the-purger-primeval-1/
>>
>>53491433
Well, I would run definitely Fiend Hunter, but also I would definitely run Leonin Relic-Warder. They're way easier to blink as they're creatures than Detention Sphere or O-ring, which are still good in my books.

The 1 shot instants are okay, if you can recur them somewhat easily
>>
>>53491610
Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker is a good combo for repeatable flicker.
>>
>>53488115
I have java installed though
>>
>>53491632
>>53491610
Archaeomancer is what I've got at the moment, yeah. It's done decent work so far.
>>
>>53491632
Yeah, Archeomancer is probably the best, although Mnemonic Wall and Izzet Chronarch work as well, but IC is red.
I would use Greenwarden, E-Witness, Genesis (although that doesn't do anything on ETB), Nucklavee, if you play red, Skullwinder is also playable. There's also one in Jeskai that returns a nonland noncreature card.

Black Mike doesn't work all that well with proiferate.

>>
>>53493622
>Black Mike doesn't work all that well with proiferate
How do you figure? It isn't like you're forced to proliferate the targets you're looking to abuse, and anything in a deck that forces -1/-1 counters on your own guys essentially becomes "unkillable" with Mike on the board.

Looking for better removal in monoblack, especially for enchantments and indestructible creatures.

As for stuff in the latter case, has anybody played with pic related? Is it good? I'd prefer it if it didn't flip all the way to another creature, I feel like that only increases the chances of getting burned compared to Chaos Warp.
>>
>>53494149
monored*
>>
>>53493844
Well Atraxa's precon is built to proliferate +1/+1 i was assuming you were to upgrade the main strategy of the precon, so tu pump out big dudes with +1/+1 counters on them, and that's a nonbo with Mike. On the other end if you're going for the polar opposite strategy of putting -1/-1 coutners on things then i agree that he's a powerhouse
>>
>>53494149
generally speaking, and this is my opinion:

if your color has a clear weakness, don't try to remedy it with shitty, weak solutions. only play cards that you'd play in other colors too. would you play Scour from Existence in esper colors? no? then don't bother using it in monored. would you use All is Dust in esper? sounds decent right? works in monored too. if your only options are shit, then don't even bother with them. instead just put in cards that actually help your deck do what it wants to do. this means: put more goblins in krenko so you can swarm out faster, or put more combat tricks in zada so you can kill everyone more reliably.

with that said, the best removal for monored and monoblack are colorless board wipes.

>all is dust
>nevi disk
>boompile
>oblivion stone

those are pretty much your best options. 4 board wipes is more than enough for monored.
>>
>>53494149
by the way, does divergent transformations and zada work the way you'd hope they would?

>have zada and 6 goblin tokens on the board
>target zada with the spell twice
>spell gets copied (?) and hits all the tokens also
>get 7 FREE creatures for 4 mana

or does it not work because it needs to only target zada and the targeting two thing fucks it up somehow
>>
>>53494347
You can't target Zada twice any more than you can Hex the same creature six times.
>>
>>53494149
You put it in an artifact or tokens deck with very few creatures and use it on your own animated artifacts, man lands or tokens for value.

I run it in my dretti decks, where my only creatures are blightsteel and butcher of truth.
>>
>>53494517
i feel like that could make for a pretty capable combo deck (for what it's worth, considering how silly competitive edh is)

>grixis colors
>3 colors worth of sorcery tutors
>only 2 creatures, like kiki and zealous conscripts
>turn 1 tutor for divergent transformations
>turn 2 cast it with mana crypt gg ez
>>
>>53494648
oh yeah i guess you'd need some cheapo partner commanders you can cast so that you can actually target divergent memes
>>
>>53494648
You're still gonna need 2 creatures to exile, shithead.
Besides, if you're in Grixis, just use a better creature combination, such as Mike&Trike, that can at least win instant speed. What if someone removes one of your pieces? What if you draw one of your creatures? That kind of gimmick deck isn't even close of being competitive, outside of maybe a bad pubstomp deck, as it's way too fragile, and if you can't finish the combo for some reason, what are you going to do? Having that as plan A and being the only plan is dumb.

Rant was maybe a little autist-y, but do you think of your posts?

>>53494775
>but do you think of your posts?
no

I was considering that too, actually, because the deck I'm looking at it for is Feldon, so there would be an ok chance of pulling out some nasty fatties.

I checked my Trostanni deck and its sideboard anf here's some of the things I use:

(the ones with a * are the cards who are:
-good
- dirt cheap when I first build it)

> Archangel of thune, *Luminate Primordial, *SÉANCE!!! *Pelakka wurm, ondu giant, *angel of serenity, caller of the pack, *thragtusk, *hornet queen, *trostanni's summoner (obligatory and even in flavor) , *Armada wurm, herald of the host, *ulvenwald hydra, it that betrays, *artisan of kozilek, angel of glory's rise (if the revive trigger interests your deck), eternal witness, terastodon, *woodland bellower, *greenwarden of murasa, fierce empath, *avenger of zendikar, *twilight shepherd, *acidic slime, wurmcoil engine.

Other sinnergistic cards for a Trostanni deck:

> *Serra avatar, alhammaret's archive, *well of lsot dreams, momentous fall, *voracious wurm, angelic accord, Emmara tandris

Seance is great because you get to populate the token and while the card is exiled you can still populate the token once per turn with Trostanni.

Anyone have any interesting games lately?

I won with Kambal through literally no fault of my own. I could have sworn I was dead, but the Zur player had been forced to exile so many of his Enchantments he didn't think he had anything to pull from his deck and didn't bother to look. I managed to use three Extort triggers to get him to 1 - literally the max damage I could do that turn. And he had Phyrexian Arena down.

It turned out he could have pulled a Banishing Light or other O-Ring type effect and gotten rid of one of my Extort guys. I should not have won.

A better win came through last night with Niv-Mizzet. Sphinx Bone Wand and Chandra's Spitfire were on the table and I managed to Spelltwine two draw spells and play Increasing Vengeance and Reverberate on one. That was a two-in-one kill turn.

Its awful. I just dont get how anyone can find competitive EDH enjoyable. Im not saying that all decks need to be 7 cmc average garbage with unplayable cards but when you have decks like Tazri, Jeleva, and Zur which can just end the game turn 4 with counterspell backup its fucking awful and theres no fun at all involved in it.
>>
>>53500549
I absolutely do understand it though. Not why some people would bring Doomsday Zur to their LGS, but why some groups gather specifically to play competitive EDH. It's an agreement between all of them, that they're going to try to win as quickly and efficiently as possible, there's not going to be 15 turns of drawgo because no one has any hard win conditions, and, this may be only my experience, when you see that you've lost you scoop with no hard feelings. Again, it's anecdotal, but the more competitive people I've played against are much more willing to say "Good game, onto the next one," and really mean it.
>>
>>53500661
Playgroups who choose to be competitive have every right to do so just as playgroups who choose to play decks under $100 deserve to have that too
My issue comes from when people say "want to play some Commander?" And you and a couple other guys say "Sure" and one fucker pulls out the pubstomp deck when its obvious no one else is playing a deck in that category. Its fucking cancerous. When you see a table of low tier commanders for fun and you pull out Jeleva Storm or Derevi Stax knowing you are about to crush the table and no ones except you is going to enjoy the game. Its like going up to a casual with a draft chaff deck and pulling out your tier 1 Legacy deck when they ask for a game.

I'd like some advice for my Bruna deck.
I haven't playtested it extensively yet (just 1v1 vs a 80% Prossh and multi against 2016 precons)
it seems fairly consistent even with the Timmy cards I kept (Decree of Silence, ecc ecc)

So is Commander Anthology "worth it", particularly for someone who has zero commander decks or products? It has Heavenly Inferno (Kaalia), Evasive Maneuvers (Derevi), Guided by Nature (Freyalise), and Plunder the Graves (Meren) with a 165 msrp.

>>
>>53503231
No, you are better off getting the individual products, though you are kinda shit out of luck since the next commander cycle is 5 color whatever the fuck.

Your best bet is to find older commander stuff for MSRP or better. Check your FLGS, or walmart. Lots of people have been able to find commander product for MSRP when it is selling for a hell of a lot more at big box stores.

I'm supposed to help someone make a sliver commander deck soon and I was wondering, how differently do each of the sliver commanders play? Does it matter which one we use or is one of them better or make for a different style of play or something?
>>
>>53504852
They all play pretty differently.
Sliver Queen is fast combo/control
Sliver Overlord is consistency combo
Sliver Legion is aggro/zerg
Sliver Hivelord is aggro/voltron

Sliver Queen is my favorite.

I'm deciding on my next deck to build. Our playgroup freely swaps decks whenever someone feels like something different, and I'd like my next deck to be as far removed from the rest as possible. If the current roster is:

>Alesha, Who Smiles at Death
>Breya
>Karametra Ramp/Stompy
>Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder

Dralnu looks really tempting actually. Maybe I could find a way to use both him and Wrexial in a deck? My three commanders are Ezuri, Daxos and Alesha, so I feel blue is a tad underrepresented in my corner.

Hey bros, I need a cheap edh deck that doesn't make me want to make a new one the second I finish the first game with it.

I've made countless different decks over the years and not one of them has lasted over 4 sessions with my playgroup without me finding it boring and repetitive.

I've played pretty much every style (voltron, pillowfort, police, grouphug, control, combo, aggro, burn, flavorful, ramp, etc) and none of them ever stick with me.

Anyone got any suggestions that doesn't break bank and won't make me want to play Russian roulette with 6 bullets the next time I finish a game?
>>
>>53508678
Have several decks. 6 of them. Roll a 6 sided die and play with one of them.

Don't need to break the bank, just share pieces across them with proxies and that's it.

It's really hard to just say "play this deck it's fun" when I have no idea what you like. I have had a Mayael deck since Shards, so I obviously find her fun. The same deck make you want to commit honorable subaru like all your other decks though.

Seems like you have some form of ADHD, what commanders did you already build?
>>
>>53505867
No, you just control the player, but they still cast the spell, but you make all decisions for it.
For example, if someone has Ad Nauseam on their hand, they will lose. Unfortunately, they can just cast the card in response, so Word of Command doesn't really do much good.
>>
>>53509532

>Take control of opp's turn
>Draw Lim Dul's Vault on opps deck

My opponent was sweating when i was reading the card. Love those random wins.

But this is about Word of Command. You don't control their turn, you just control them during WoC resolves and when their spell resolves.

>4 colour mana base is expensive as fuck
actually not as bad as you may think, and if you lean more into green than any other colour you can use more ramp spells to fix your mana. krosan verge also isn't expensive, and there are now two sets of duals with basic subtypes.
