Kambal, because I play him, but I don't play him oppressively enough that other players cannot keep casting spells.
It always results in them losing half their life and me ending up with 80+ while I do absolutely nothing, and then it starts being an Archenemy game which I cannot deal with.

Brago stax. I never wanted to, but my meta got super competative and I wanted to actually have fun with them again, so begrudgingly joined the arms race.

Anon, there are better voltrons. Maybe not in Sultai, because you can count all Sultai commanders fairly trivially, but he needs a good deal of support that would be better thrown at something like Skullbriar or, you know, anybody who holds swords well. Look for native double strike, maybe white in the color identity. A lower cost would be nice as would haste and/or trample, though they're not strictly necessary. Vorosh is the commander you take if you want to play Sultai Goodstuff and Damia or Tasigur would get too much hate.
>>
>>53512393
>Skullbriar
yeah thats a better version of this deck but its pretty similar - the counter spells
first attack goes for 6
second goes for 12
third goes for 18 -first player killed
4th goes for 24
5th for 24 - second player killed
6th goes for 24 -3rd player killed

average kill turn for voltron being 12 with the only turn you need to tap out for is turn 6
actually looking at this now it doenst seem fast at all, I have no idea how this works against tuned decks but it did last night.

I only run 3 equipment in the deck, Including results for O-Naginata, swifties and darksteel plate

The minute a stax piece comes out it feels like there's a bunch of laser sights on my forehead. Doesn't matter if I'm the only reason the combo player hasn't exploded off and killed everyone yet, they'll all send their Humility'd 1/1s at me nonstop

So fellas, I got this new bro who never played Commander before. I got him to be hyped for it, but here's the problem: He doesn't buy singles. he buys boxes to drafts, and that's cool, but he's coming over tomorrow night to play some gaems and he told me he built his deck out of cards he has lying around.

I did the same, but I'm afraid the cards I have laying around might be a bit pushed, since I've been playing for longer then him.
>>
>>53513018
not him
but that sounds like the other players are incredibly immature
>>
>>53513043
Tell him to man up and buy singles. Unless he buys boxes of Conspiracy 1+2, he is a blight upon the hobby.

It was my first time running that deck so it was awesome to see but I feel bad that I crushed him in eight turns and may have ruined the format for him.

thats understandable
you really shouldnt have played kaalia vs him in the first place
>>
>>53512910
I really don't care.

>>53513018
I have low-power pet decks that I use for casual games and nobody has any issues. They also don't have any issues until they see the stax strategy come together, so I really doubt that it's just me they have an issue with. Shitters just get angry when their game of solitaire gets interrupted and they target whoever's interrupting them. On the other hand, good/more experienced players usually leave the stax pieces alone until they have a window to push ahead or go for the win. It all comes down to timing and threat assessment, which a lot of less skilled/experienced players just don't have.
>>
>>53513104
Pretty sure you can use his ability to double up on kill spells, so you can try making it more kill control.
>>
>>53513143
Is she that OP? I knew her ability seemed amazing but I just thought having an Angel/Dragon deck would be awesome. I hadn't done any research into tiers or anything like that.
>>
>>53513269
>Is she that OP?
against someone who doenst know how to play?
yes
>>
>>53513269
shes very strong, but people have no evolved since the first pre-cons. People are aware of Kaalia and that she needs to die immediately. Same with Rafiq, which is why you don't see them that much anymore
>>
>>53513301
>>53513318
Fair enough if I can talk him into playing again I'll use my other deck.
>>
>>53512106
>What general do you run that gets the most hate and why?
Brago, followed closely by Ghave.

Why? Well, Brago is obvious. It's filled with counterspells, bounce, wraths, and a bunch of no-fun-allowed things. After my lgs saw me flicker exclusion ritual and phyrexian ingester with dampening matrix and linvala out, Brago has never been allowed to hit the field.

Ghave is much more degenerate, but for some reason, draws a lot less hate among "casual" players. Any experienced player ever sees ghave, they immediately focus all the hate imaginable at me, but I guess until you see him combo off five to ten times, you don't know.
>>
>>53513269
She isn't OP but she can kill a single player very quickly. It's not uncommon for Kaalia to kill someone on turn 3/4. She hates out a single player early (you want to do it to whoever has the best chance of stopping you from winning, usually the blue player), so she isn't really the best opponent for introducing someone to the game since they're just gonna get slammed by something way above their paygrade that's targeted straight at them
>>
>>53513269
Every. Fucking. Time.
>>
>>53512609
With a haste enabler and a damage double effect, you can one shot people very easily. Dragons build is really good.
>>
>>53513353
Best girl.
>>
>>53513269
Yes. Anyone who reads Kaalia knows some degenerate bullshit is going to happen, and using it on a new player is pretty awful, particularly with MLD. It'd be exactly the same as dropping Mana Crypt t1 and comboing off t3 with some degenerate nonsense.

Correction: the blocker has to have 11 toughness or more to prevent the player losing

>>
>>53513269

You're gonna blow up all a new player's lands, and then act surprised that this could be considered poor manners? C'mon, man. You really just made a newbie sit there with literally no options while you beat him to death for three turns?
>>
>>53513725
I wasn't expecting him to have drawn that poorly. He just pulled a deck list off the internet same as me. I'm calling him a noob but really I've only played EDH twice, and never with that deck before.
>>
>>53513749
>I wasn't expecting him to have drawn that poorly.
did he even know what his deck does?
>>
>>53513690
ruined doesn't necessarily mean they lost
"your creatures don't work" is about as big of a hate card there is, you must have brain problems if you can't realize why people want it gone
>>
>>53513616
Zurgo only needs one equipment: Worldslayer.

I mean, a Whispersilk Cloak or other source of unblockable can help get him the first connect, I guess.
>>
>>53513772
>ruined doesn't necessarily mean they lost
yeah but it also implies they cant kill you in retaliation
because if they can then you really need to get the lock in harder to prevent it
>>
>>53513749

I'm not saying you're a dick for beating him, just, blowing up all his lands? Really? That's basically guaranteed to cause some feels-bad moments.
>>
>>53513823

He is incomparable to Geth. They just do completely different things.
You going to say all black commanders are the same? Know Maralen? Know Balthor? Know Marrow-Gnawer?

Toshiro is really unique in what he does, he basically has a red effect. There's really no replacement for him in the kind of a deck that uses him.

Make sure to have lots of your own creatures and grave pact/butcher of malakir as well.
>>
>>53514089
Stax literally forces the opponent to interact with it if they want any chance of winning. Combo is the antithesis of interaction.
>>
>>53514089
>Stax is the antithesis of interaction

im not doing it because its GOOD for me im doing it because its WORSE for you
>>

he did mention, if you recall, that it happened whenever he dropped any tax piece not just humility
>>
>>53513104
I like Drana as a monoblack commander. The XBB effect kills indestructible creatures for very little mana, AND pumps Drana so you can easily hit people with your giant flying beater.

Monoblack is difficult to build. Goodstuff decks all become Exanguinate.dek, which are accomplished much easier in a two colour deck, otherwise you have to build specifically around your commander, which isn't always fantastic if you don't have a firm strategy.

Geth and Toshiro are completely different. Geth is really a powerful general for big black mana because he can deck someone instantly, while reanimating things with utility. Toshiro lets you turn a removal spell into two, then into three if you run Reaper from the Abyss, or engage in some kind of crazed combo/degenerate play. Recurring Rite of Consumption could be pretty cool, particularly with a giant fatty and dirty Mike.

>>53514162
Super secret tech: Blightsteel Colossus
>>
>>53514434
I'm of the opinion that Blightsteel fits into almost every single commander deck ever created.
>>
>>53514412
To be fair people that run creature based decks (the only kind of decks you can really "trust" in the first place) have to beat humility or lose. If I don't have removal for humility in hand, I'm going to try to murder the guy with it in his deck, because once he top decks it I don't have many options left.

I don't see how this is an improper strategy, and if humility guy can't see that he is fucking retarded.

I know we're shitting on the other guy, but why Deadeye and Palinchron for a Kruphix deck? You sill need 7 lands or a mana double plus an outlet. That combo is much better suited for something like Tasigur or Thrasios
>>
>>53514702
Nvm I'm retarded and was thinking about Palinchron plus Phantasmal Image or something, forgetting that Deadeye is just busted
>>
>>53514702
Speaking of that combo, is it worth the money for a Palinchron or am I fine with just using Peregrine Drake for my infinite land untapping shenanigans?
>>
>>53514702
You may be right. I've since dropped Kruphix in favor of Teferi. The original plan was to power out Kruphix with some efficient ramp, spend a couple rounds floating mana before forcing through tooth and nail into decking my opponents. I wasn't really trying to shit on the other guy. I just thiugh our mutual response was amusing. His deck wasn't good but mine was just another kind of bad.
>>
>>53514760
Palinchron has more ways to combo, but if you're planning on using Deadeye/Displacer then Drake is perfectly acceptable
>>
>>53514547
I mean it's not bad either way but the patrician way to build Kruphix is fill it to the brim with big draw spells, big ramp spells and big creatures. Something like all "draw X" spells, Consecrated Sphinx, Well of Ideas, Howling Mine, Thought Reflection, Dictate of Kruphix, Boundless Realms, Kydele, Seedborn Muse, Zendikar Resurgent, Mana Reflection, Doubling Cube, Animist's Awekening, all the Eldrazi titans, Vorinclex, Jin-Gitaxias, Genesis Wave and Helix Pinnacle as secret wincon

Pali is great. You can get by with the drake but Pali is something you can beat down with in a pinch and allows for other combat shenanigans if pressed. It also goes infinite with cards other than deadeye.

A single stax piece that affects your opponents much more than you is fine, but gunning for hard locks is literally "don't you fucking dare do anything, just sit tight and let me circumvent my own lock in a slow and painfully boring way until I win"

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.

I'm wanting to do a Monogreen deck, generally around the 75% principal for multiplayer games with friends. I cannot find a commander I want to use, nothing jumps out at me as build around enough. Don't want to do Omnath, Yisan, Selvala. Any suggestions for interesting commander ideas for MonoG?

>How about not overextending on board?
They're playing UG, they're already overextending the board themselves and it's hard to fight back even without this "6U I win the game" bullcrap.
>Or countering it
Not playing blue atm and they have counterspell backup of their own.
>exiling it from the graveyard
Yeah if I draw my exile bullet, then great. Otherwise I have no chance, plus the damage is already done by then.

>>53515627
You're acting like Cyclonic Rift is this omnipresent threat that all blue players start with four copies of in your hand.

In my magical wonderland all non blue players start with four Red Elemental Blasts and Pyroblasts to counter it.

I always look. I take winning and losing about the same. I just like playing. But I look to see if I was doing the right thing. Like, my playgroup allows 1-2 (depending on the amount of alcohol consumed) take-back steps every game. I never take them. Like, it doesn't make me better than anybody or anything. But, I like to see my mistakes, and hopefully get burned by them. The idea is, if it burns me bad enough, I won't do it again.

Thrasios of course.

Barring that Akri has the best power potential I guess? Ishai is also good but has to start over if he takes a hit. But Akri limits you to Boros which sucks. Ikra, Silas, and Tana have damage triggers so there's good synergy there. Of the three I'd say Ikra or Silas since Tana's not very good unless you're pumping her, have black, or both. Ikra's ability goes with everything but has a weaker payoff while you might not need the double from Silas but a single is much more worthwhile.

then you also know they have Cyclonic Rift in hand.

Green also has a LOT of answers to blue.
Black has more tutors than blue by a long shot, they can get their silver bullet answers.

Cyclonic Rift is one of the strongest blue cards available, but it's not something that you can't play around and mitigate the effects of, it's not undefeatable.

For green I'd really recommend stuff like Seed Time and City of Solitude.

White also has multiple effects like this.

Because that helps. They'll just dangle it around until my stuff starts getting scary and then slam it around and alpha strike me with the board they built up without a sweat in the meantime. I mean there's a reason why one-sided boardwipes used to only affect a single permanent type.

I don't want to imagine a meta cancerous enough that a ABUR dual or two would make a significant difference. Might as well just play Legacy at that point since that's what that kind of person seems to want.
>>
>>53516050
if one player is sitting with a cyclonic rift in hand and everyone knows it, you just start focusing your chip damage on him and force him to react.

If the other players just attack him with their 2/2s and 3/3s over a few turns he will be forced to pull the trigger.

Same happens when a player drops Oblivion Stone or Pernicious Deed

I guess my only other response to you is that I do want to own a set of the lands (it's on my bucket list), but I'm not sure why I need to validate my purchases or decks to a complete stranger on the internet. I guess I shouldn't have tried to join the conversation about one of my favorite formats in the game.
>>

because legacy is a multiplayer format, right?
a casual and a competitive edh deck have much more in common than a competitive edh deck and a legacy deck do

This, rift is a nice spell and all, but they can't keep holding it over you without losing a shit ton of tempo. Holding up 7 mana is a lot, holding it up for multiple turns erases any tempo advantage they get for casting it.

If you are just worried about them clearing the board to swing in, then insurrection and garruks wake do it better.

It's just a lock, if opponents don't play mono B, it mean that only way to generate colored mana, is using non-land sources. If they're out of luck, I can win by turn 5 or 6 because they can't slow me down.

Insurrection will usually win the game outright as soon as its resolved though, if anybody is developing board. You're pretty much right about Plague Wind. I personally reach for All is Dust most often, but it depends on the needs of the deck.

Both, also Platinum Angel and things like Phyrexian Reclamation to put her back in my hand from the grave. For a while I even ran Thrull Wizard so that I could counter her, put her in the grave, and then put her back in the hand from there, but that's way to finicky.

Anything black and more than 2 (Animate Dead/Exhume) or especially 4 (Zombify) mana could make use of it. Temmet could do it as well, and while not as good as the directly-to-hand Command Beacon, it would be a way to spend effort instead of mana for a commander that's been recast a lot.

If it was more along the lines of "4, T: Put your commander from the command zone, battlefield, or exile into your graveyard" it could also ghetto-rescue commanders that have been mind controlled or subjected to a surprise end the turn rendering a flicker permanent.

>>53517316

He seems like fun, but my biggest issue is the sac 2 part of his cost. You can't really power him out as a voltronish commander unless you have a Torpor Orb or fodder for him. Maybe you could go zombie tribal so you'll have plenty of tokens, or even use stuff like Young Pyromancer and Bitterblossom if you're going more of a control route.
The draw 2, however, can be a neat political gesture or even just value with Notion Theif or Consecrated Sphinx.

Garruk Wildspeaker is pretty good and Overrun/Overwhelming Stampede effects can outright end the game for you. Pathbreaker Ibex is one of my favorites.

I've had a monoblue, a u/w, a u/b, and a u/w/g Merfolk tribal deck before in EDH, I've been playing the format for many, many years.

I understand that building four different decks is crazy/dumb, but that's part of the challenge.

Anointed procession does some serious work in the w/u deck btw.

This deck's kind of a wildcard in terms of power. There are times where it can contend with high-tier decks (mainly by going under the radar, controlling the board, and waiting until just the right moment to play Phage and hit), and it can theoretically get a Contamination lock t1, but it can also, quite literally, die to a Krosan Grip. I mainly use it for more casual games because of that but I like stress testing it too.

I made Phage's bff too

a lemure is a french spectre that haunts people from the afterlife
the artist didn't know this and assumed it was a mis-spelling of lemur, so they drew a mammal
http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=2457
that's the original

there's also a reference to this in the flavor text of a later lemure card where they made sure to tell the artist what they wanted on

The shops were burned hard by the Planechase Anthology and CA is slated to be the same exact thing ($165 MRSP for four decks only one of which has value, eat my ass WOTC) so I bet most stores will order zero copies of it, online is your best bet.

So last week I asked for ideas for a new deck. Someone mentioned doing a tribal build since I didn't have one.

So I thought about it pretty hard, and I decided I wanted to Golgari. Originally I was gonna do something silly like fungus tribal, but I decided something even more silly.

Spider tribal

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/does-spider-have-pusspuss/

Thoughts? I wanna add more power cards like Survival of the Fittest, Demonic Tutor, and some other powerful BG cards but for now this turned out well.

Played against my friends the other day, one was playing Bruna, Light of Alabaster and the other was playing Saskia. Bruna player 1HKO'd the Saskia player, and then I won with Triumph of the Hordes. Great turn about for it's first game.

Thoughts? I wanna also add more creatures but most of the spiders either costs a lot or just suck entirely.

Were you the one trying to do that or one of your opponents?
Either way, yea that's not an infinite.
Twinflame has to resolve to create a copy, and duelcaster has to enter before the spell you want to copy resolves, so copying it with a spell won't go infinite.

>>53519515

>>
>>53519569
The only way it works is if there's another creature in play.

1. Cast Twinflame targeting any creature you control.
2. Flash in Dualcaster Mage with the spell still on the stack.
3. ETB triggers targeting Twinflame.
4. Allow trigger to resolve, copy is put on stack. New targets are allowed for copy thus Dualcaster Mage may be targeted.
5. Repeat many times.
>>
>>53519569
holy shit you are autistic
okay bud
1) Cast Heat Shimmer
2) Response, cast Dualcaster Mage
3) Dualcaster Mage resolves, enter the battlefield trigger targets Heat Shimmer
4) Dualcaster trigger resolves, Heat Shimmer copy targets Dualcaster Mage
5) Heat Shimmer copy resolves, Dualcaster copy enter the battlefield trigger targets Heat Shimmer
6) Dualcaster copy trigger resolves, Heat Shimmer copy targets Dualcaster Mage
7) Repeat 5 - 7

Yes because its spider tribal you mong.
>>
>>53519633
I'm autistic for using only the information provided in the image other anon posted to evaluate the situation and decide whether or not it was an infinite.
OK bro.
Other anon never mentioned any other legal targets for Twinflame, nor whether the player had cast the Twinflame or the Dualcaster first. Tell me, how else would you evaluate situation provided with ONLY info provided and no other inferred conditions?

im telling ya spider spawning and mono green murder are all you need
>>
>>53519633
>>53519690
How is that anon wrong? It only works with a second creature. In the original pic there is only dualcaster.
>>
>>53519654
it did work.
you only need another creature to CAST the spell.
there was one.
and if somehow you could cast the spell and not have another creature. and dual caster mage just went infinite forever thus stalling the game

Purphoros would end it because of his triggers

the issue was they were saying
"you can only make 2 copiesof dual caster mage
>>
>>53519725
spiderspawning.dec is more of a sultai deck than anything. I did that once and used Sidisi, but it got old quick. It's traumatize yourself, get coat of arms, spiderspawn, win.

Just boring desu,
>>
>>53519732
there was no implications of there being a second or not a second creature.
just the fact that there was a combo.
not even information that Purphoros was online or not

hasty judgements make people like that anon look like idiots
>>
>>53519569
it was me, there was 3 other creatures. it was infinite
>>
>>53519756
>there was one.
well the pic doesn't show any other creature so it does look like it wouldn't work
>>
>>53519818
no info information that Purphoros was online or not.
>>
>>53519808
pic or it didnt happen
>>
>>53519786
considering that it needs a second creature to work, anon's "hasty judgment" is on point. he simply commented based on the information he had avaible.
>>
>>53519765
How does that even win? Does your playgroup just sit around saccing Solemn to Trading Post all day?
>>
>>53519856
if only replays worked
>>
>>53519852
And because of that lack of information it is assumed that he wasn't
>>
>>53519883
how could he know if the god was online or not you delusional autist
>>
>>53519927
see the post directly above yours
>>
>>53519887
>how does that win
>deck with all the best card draw, removal, ramp, tutors, and disruption in the game

It's pretty straight forward. I usually won through mass zombies or spiders. One or the other. Deck had 5 tutors, 6-7 boardwipes, and about 7-8 counterspells. I took it apart because it was boring to play and they complained.
>>
>>53517376
How about just
4,T: put a commander creature card from your command zone on to the battlefield.
We all is Derevi now
>>
>>53519923
see the post directly below yours
>>
>>53519994
We will go into a loop so this ends in a draw
>>
should i get it?
pros:
>deck will be 100% finished
>never have to put money into deck again
(besides new sets)
>i play in a highly competitive meta so I can keep up more consistently
cons:
>190 usd
>>

gg

Sounds like your playgroup needs to git gud.

I just built a Xiahou Dun deck, mostly control/stax with big mana finishers, trying to stay away from combos. What are some cards that NEED to be in here?
>>
>>53520048
What deck is it for anon?
>>
>>53520115
Dark Ritual. Also put in a combo. Dont be a pussy anon.
>>
>>53520115
I hope you have a fucking Damnation in there, nigga
>>
>>53520126
zadato tutor out the combo that just shit up the thread
also an excuse to make Alesha
>>
>>53520156
nah senpai, really not a fan of combos, I don't want the deck to play the same way every game.
>>
>>53520115
Maybe not a need card, but Dawn of the Dead is super spicy.
>>
>>53520163
Not yet, 70 bux seemed a bit much when there are plenty of other boardwipes
>>
>>53520211
It's like $18 now
>>
>>53520185
That does seem really cool, I could get tons of card advantage out of that.
>>
>>53520115
Entomb. Animate Dead. Reanimate. Necromancy.
>>
>>53520231
Oh shit, you're right, I'll probably pick that up then.
>>
>>53520211
>builds Xiahou
>complains about expensive cards
>>
>>53520282
not so much its too expensive, but that I have tons of options and don't need the $70 dollar card. But if its only $18, I'll totally pick it up.
>>
>>53520167
Recruiter of the Guard does a decent impression if you're only trying to tutor out a 2/2.
But if you have the spare cash, Imperial Recruiter really powers up the deck.
>>
>>53520363
okay, i appreciate the insight
>>
>>53519636
Godsend, easily.


Some one smarter then me, is it supposed to be "a godsend, or gods end"
>>
>>53519636
You do realize that colour identity doesn't mean anything when asking a spell's colour? Memnarch and Bosh are still colourless, as are each of the talismans and signets as well
>>
>>53520363
>white card in a red deck
But that's forbidden love!
>>
>>53520440
Both in the right hands.

Should I build Samut as functional pic related?

Any good tap abilities or untap card suggestions?
>>
>>53520477
He said it's for Alesha though
>>
>>53520440
GodSAND, anon, for fuck sake get your grammar right
