Painters Servant + Grindstone mills someone totally. Painters Servant + Iona keeps people from casting entirely. He wants to play Painters Servant but realizes that it's dumb with those cards.

Panter's servant and grindstone = mill an entire deck.
Iona and painter's Servent = lock everyone but you out of the game.
Painter's servent has a weird effect that's fun to play with. Grindstone is useless outside of the combo and Iona is the "unfun" they claim to be banning that punishes decks for playing monocolor, when they already get punished for being monocolor.

>>53931951
Yeah, takes out most of the combo quick kills with those two. Karador and Ghave can still manage to go off, as can Selvala. Yidris, Breya, and Jeleva storm can use Aetherflux/Tendrils instead of Lab Man, stax decks like Derevi and GAAIV would be okay, Yisan, Tasigur, Gitrog, Edric, Sidisi...

The real problem is that it hardly hurts Teferi at all. He should be the third ban, not Mana Vault. Or the Chain Veil.

I got a sedris that t3 kills 80% of the time if no one has a quick counterspell, with all of the big baller manarocks. I also have a Dragonlord Silumgar deck that only wins via the easily stoppable Drake Blink Infinite Mana, stealing all your shit or resolving a beefy ass Living Death (with shit ass mana rocks). If you don't have a deck for Tippity Top Tier, 75% and Battlecruiser Metas, you're doing EDH wrong.

It's your deck. Do whatever you want. Just I don't understand what there isn't to get. If you need to ramp and add consistency to your deck, much less the kind of ramp that thran dynamo affords, then it's not correct to say you're treating this format like the goofy shit it's meant to be.

>getting upset because someone uses functionally IDENTICAL copies of cards
If it's just EDH and it's a casual game, as the image says, then it doesn't matter whether the cards are real, collector's edition, proxied, or counterfeit. They're all functionally exactly the same and the autists are the ones that take a moral stand on proxies.
>>
>>53935228
It's a spectrum, not binary, but cramming it into every deck is indicative of checklist deck-building which harkens back to the autist in that comic.

>>53933258

Price is kind of the floodgate for degenerative shit in this format which is why you generally see a higher percentage of cutthroat decks on xmage and cockatrice (and MTGO to a lesser extent) because free lets you use whatever. Proxying isn't the issue but rather proxying $40 cards is.
>>
Considering building red artifacts but not sure what to favor, I have a myr turbine, paradox engine, and planar portal to start out with. The main focus will be darksteel forge, mycosynth lattice, unwinding clock, and a blightsteel colossus.

Trying to figure out what the best combination of artifact goodstuff w/ red support would be but I'm starting to think that excepting a few cards the myr aren't strong enough to justify almost running them as a tribe and that colossi (which I'm starting to look at as my primary creature base with blightsteel, darksteel, akros, etc.) will have a tendency to turn into bad draws due to their mana cost. Any suggestions?

>t. Never been the only player at the table not ramping

It's not fun at all, literally ruins the format

edh is ramp: the format

>>
>>53935351
No, people not being friendly and having fun with their decks is an issue. Money doesn't have to be an issue and it doesn't have to limit the cards that friends can play together.

>>53935386
>Really dislike this meme that you either don't care in the slightest about winning or you're a tryhard

Don't know how to break it to you anon but it says right on the philosophy page that the focus should be on the experience, not winning. By definition if winning is your goal then you're not following the philsoophy.
>>
If you're not running ramp or mana denial then you will just get left behind in half of the EDH games I've played. Ramp should go in every deck and is part and parcel of 40 life combined with multiplayer.
>>
>>53935375
CEDH combo decks have 3 win cons.
#1 - Lab Man and drawing your deck out.
#2 - Infinite Food Chain and a damage trigger.
#3 - Storm.

Banning Lab Man and Food Chain limits the potential of fast combo. It's not going to stop people, but what it will do is make the uncreative netdeckers who bring competitive decks to casual tables to stomp take a break while people who have their insular CEDH playgroups solve the format again for them.
>>
Unban freaking Sylvan Primordial. It's probably the most inofensive card in the banlist.
>>
>>53935443

>the focus

The focus is different from your desires as a whole. You're not supposed to put winning over "the experience", okay that's cool, but it says nothing about people being intended to have no desire whatsoever to win. It's still a fucking game, it only makes sense if people are trying to win
>>

People can play whatever makes them happy just the correlation of the higher the average price of a card in a deck the more likely it is to be degenerate and operating under the assumption that a playgroup is filled with people of similar (financial) commitment to MTG then that person proxying super expensive shit is getting an advantage over others.

Counting on people like the shitlords in this thread to be mature and socialize is asking too much, anon.

I never said people don't play to win or you should play to lose. The best experiences come from equal power level decks but some of the most "EDH" experiences come from someone making the less optimal play and doing something goofy.

And the number of metas that are plagued with this issue are insignificant compared to the number of metas that find Cyclonic Rift or Paradox Engine to be an issue.

Plus it also validates the cEDH troglodytes. Let them fester.
>>
>>53935510
I've had great success with a group that had most people making 100% proxy decks and we didn't have people coming in with unstoppable decks. We never had someone insist on playing completely broken decks and if someone did we'd have told them to stop. When I made a deck that was obviously too competitive I played it a few times then stopped because it wasn't fun without other people being on the same field. Proxies mean that we all used dual lands and had great manabases though and used cards like Gaea's Cradle that have very high costs but aren't necessarily that bad. You can use Cradle outside of an elf combo deck, for example.
>>
>>53935644
Competitive EDH is cancer and should be ignored. I'm very on board with banning Cyclonic Rift and Paradox Engine and Labratory Maniac though.

Labratory Maniac is never a fun way to win or lose a game.

>>53935667
I never said that doesn't happen. Just it's not the norm which is why the comic painted pricey proxies in a negative light.

>>53935601

You tried to shame somebody for putting thran Dynamo in most of their decks, how is that not telling them they should be playing to lose?

>the best experiences come from equal power level decks

Agreed, so why wouldn't you trust somebody who is putting some ramp in their deck to know whether it's appropriate for their playgroup?

If somebody was saying they have to buy ABUR duals for every deck, then you would maybe have a point

I imagine he has the ban because consistent blink tech leads to oppressive land hate. Imagine how wild it would be in Brago! I don't care about any of that shit though, Sundering Titan is my favorite mecha in all of MTG and was built to wreak havoc in a format of fatties like Commander. I'd probably toss him in Xenagod for no good reason.

Blinking is good but it's even easier to abuse him with all the sacrifice and recursion tech in artifact decks, like a daretti deck can cheat him into play and then sacrifice him for a quick an easy game over all in one turn

The thing is, Titan isn't even that oppressive compared to other ETB land destroyers since there are a good number of lands he can't hit and a decent chance of backlash, unlike, say, Invader Parasite which can be chain-recurred or flickered about as well after coming out for way less mana.

You do make a decent point that as a colorless identity artifact there are some further options that open up, but in a format where Armageddon, Ruination, Smokestack, and all there friends are (in my opinion, rightly) still alive, it still seems weird that Sundering Titan of all things got the hammer.

Yup, you got it. It used to be that glass cannon Ghave deck that was floating around, but I swapped some of the weaker things for boardwipes and removal, so now it's a little more consistent.
>>
>>53936371

Invader parasite isn't even fucking close to sundering Titan, sundering Titan is etb AND ltb, and each time he destroys 5 lands, so he destroys 10 times as many lands for the same amount of investment, being an artifact he's also way easier to cast, recur, sacrifice, tutor, and cheat into play

None of those other cards you listed really compare either except Armageddon, which is an underrated and underused card, one of the best in the format

torch of defiance is amazing, shes raw card advantage, whether its from her card draw or mana generation
ugin is a discount aids with upside
dack fayden is a high quality combo stomper, he'll snag those pesky t1 sol rings or paradox engines to tip favor back to you
gideon of the trials, good luck im behind 7 gideons
jace vryns prodigy fixes your early game and gives you flashback while also being a single use blue fog
ajani steadfast is amazing if you're in white. Vigi lifesteal and first strike make a great distraction to allow you to exacute your real plan and if you ult you probably just win
Tamiyo of both varieties are great walls and card engines
garruk wildspeaker and nissa world waker are each good for their own respective deck types, honestly untap 4 lands isnt a joke when you do it 5 times
teferi is good for the same reason, except you can also just slight of hand until you win

>>53936941

It is an auto-include if you can afford or proxy it.

You go No Mercy first and then Decay you doofus. Vraska's pretty good, also if you drop her at the right time you can up her until I steal her with Word of Seizing and ult her
>>
>>53937327
>>53937301

I disagree, usually she dies after immediately using her -, probably 75% of the time

If she lives longer it's because you're chump blocking, which affects your "2 for 1 80% of the time" math

She's okay
>>
>>53937378
No Mercy is not "destroy target nonland permanent"
>>
>>53937313
You always get the best card and sometimes get to draw more than one card. You also filter those cards through your opponents brains so if they cant deal with something you'll get a strong hint that its a good threat. Compare that to impulse which doesnt give you any information and only gets the one card or even anticipate you'll appreciate what fof is doing a little more.
>>
>>53937493
it's also instant speed and puts anything you don't choose into the graveyard so depending on your deck it's pretty much drawing 4 cards
>>
>>53937378

If you no mercy first she dies to oring, direct damage from random stuff, etc, plus you can't really afford the awful tempo of paying 5 mana for a fog in edh

Have you ever played with her? She's 5 mana nerfed maelstrom pulse, but with the upside of being on the minds of your opponents, thinking they have to deal with her when she's not really a threat
>>
>>53937403

Prophet needs to stay banned forever.

The fact that the first thing my Modern playing friend thought of the second he heard I wasn't building EDH decks was to abuses the fuck out of Prophet speaks VOLUMES on how stupid that card is for this format.
>>
>>53937313

It's solid as a general card draw spell, being instant speed, not too expensive, and giving you solid card selection

I don't value it all that highly just as a card draw spell though, where it shines is in gy decks, essentially an instant speed 4 mana draw 5 with upside, you get to bin cards you want in the yard

When I cast it in my Sedris deck, there's basically no way to split the piles such that I lose out on anything I wanted

Even if you try to put the reanimation spells and the fatties in the same pile, I'll probably get to discard to hand size at that point
>>
>>53937403
Treating any Walker as a single use Sorcery will make them seem very weak, except maybe Sorin, the Permanent Anthem.
>>
>>53937564

I said 75% of the time, because she goes down to 2 loyalty, really hard to keep her alive after that

Talking multiplayer btw, in 1v1 it's different, you can destroy their best attacker and have a good chance of keeping her alive
>>
who is it?
>>
>>53937626
Each walker needs to be treated at its worst and also at its best at all times. Sometimes you pay 4 mana to net a card, other times you pay 4 mana for your wincon.
>>
>>53937668
Krenko.
>>
>>53937313
I want to add to the arguments provided that Fact or Fiction was really a step up at the time in terms of draw spells. After invasion odyssey came which had a major graveyard focus which made the downside of the card better. Flashback and Threshold in general and cards like Psychatog turned it into a semi-draw-5 spell for only 4 mana. Draw-go actually existed back then. It was pretty much the go-to draw spell in all non eternal formats (Standard and Extended, which was also a thing back then) for the duration of it's legality.

With regards to the mind games, this is a thing too. Sometimes it backfires though. A pro player once passed on getting to draw 5 lands because he was afraid the opponent had a blood oath in his hand.
>>
Is discard a viable archetype in commander?
Not full stax, although there may be a group sacrifice sub theme.

I'm trying to decide between doing Sedris or Kaervek with a discard theme. Otherwise I'll settle for a Lord of Riots aggro deck
>>
what are some must-have walkers for a superfriends deck?
>>
>>53937776
I don't see a lot of treating Vraska as her best going on.
>>
>>53937992
Not unless you're playing 1v1. It's the same reason control isn't viable. You can counter 1 spell or force someone to discard 7 cards, but it's a lot harder to counter 3 spells and force 21 discards.

Leovold made it possible, because every wheel turned into a full hand discard. If you want to do it you want to be in Esper, for Notion Thief and Spirit of the Labyrinth. Sen Triplets are good to let you shred their hands and profit yourself at the same time. Sharuum lets you get your stuff back.
>>
>>53937668
krenko
>>
>>53937992

Ehh kinda

There's a lot of good options for making everybody discard, like sire of insanity and oppression, but unfortunately it's tricky to actually capitalize on those effects, if somebody destroys your geths grimoire or your waste not at the crucial moment, your discard effects will cripple you just as hard as they cripple anybody else

I had a red black deck that tried to win through waste not or lili's caress and wheel effects and other mass discard but the deck was very inconsistent
>>
>>53938045

People are negative because you started things off putting her on the same tier as jtms and teferi Walker

She's decent, definitely at her best in edh and cube
>>
>>53938179
Well with Kaervek I see this as problematic.
But what about Sedris? Even if discard profiteers like Waste Not get destroyed, I still have (probably) the only card on board that turns my discards into fuel.

I feel like it'd be easy enough to get people to discard their hands with creatures like sibsig icebreakers and enchantments like oppression, and I do see that discard as a singular mechanic wont win games, but I feel like Sedris MIGHT be able to skirt it into wins because I'd be discarding fuel and (hopefully) no one else would be.

Do you still think it sounds futile or is there something that can make this doable?

Honestly I wish they made Nath a different color (it wouldn't be nath though, obviously). Green just can't support his token generation like the wheels of red and blue can. Think Locust God but discard instead of draw.

Maybe that would be too broken.
>>
>>53938346

I think your idea for Sedris could work, only problem is that Sedris actually suffers from the exact same problem, he's expensive and if he's dies, your hand is empty and you got not much

Still could work, but I'm just saying, it's a weakness your playgroup might learn to prey on
>>
>>53938298
Jace isn't quite as good in EDH as he is outside it, where you can more reliably abuse his Brainstorm and where his repeated Unsummons can be crippling for Tempo. He has just as bad a habit as Vraska when it comes to dying the turn after he's played and you'll only get what is basically one of three one-mana effects for your trouble. I don't think the gap is so wide as it may initially seem.

there's a guy who regularly comes to my LGS who has a trade binder that is 90% foil proxies of expensive cards

i wonder if anyone has fallen for it yet
>>
>>53939258
He's on two cards. Is it possible you don't know what ignominy means?
>>
>>53939307
I got one of those nice Dex Protection binders that I just keep all the staples in, organized by color. I keep fearing that I'll one day just make a deck with 30 cards out of it because they're just so good, and I keep talking myself into not ordering dupes with the savings standpoint. I mean, is it so wrong to not want to spend another $60 on Tops?
>>
>>53938906
>>53938929

>>53939226
Because one was designed bottom up as a Partner mechanic that had a name stapled to it and the other was designed Top Down as to represent a specific character out of MtG lore.

At least we never got something that said Ludevic died, so maybe he can come back again. I honestly would have given him something almost like Mimeoplasm, but exiling one live creature you own on the battlefield and one dead creature at random from target graveyard to combine.
>>
>>53939390
No no no, he should die. And then have it set up that he brought himself back with Necro-Alchemy, with his brain intact, so he could see what it was like from the other side.

Yes. Top is cancer. You deserve to have to suffer to play it.
>>
>>53939479
You can thank my local meta for being Spike as fuck. Everyone has Top and Crypt in every deck. I just have the one I cracked in an EMA draft and I have to mulligan specifically for it to hold up.
>>
>>53939374
You shouldnt just cram tops into decks because it can fit in them.
>>
>>53939525
...isn't top only $10?

9 decks+played in 7=$60 extra if I want one in each deck that runs it. Same thing with Greaves being in 6 decks, although not quite as much money. It's just to save money, really. I imposed a limit that I need to play a card in at least three decks for it to go in the binder, and that I can't have more than 15 cards out of the binder in a deck, so I've not gone too far off the deep end yet
>>
>>53939226
Yeah, he really should have been the main commander of non-W. Heck, he could probably just steal Yidris' text and more people would accept that as Ludevic.
>>
>>53939414
I would also accept Super Brain In A Jar.

Out of those decks, the ones with the highest potential are Meren and Derevi. As soon as you whip out Kaalia as your commander you have doomed yourself to be the Archenemy

I'd build Meren since Black and Green are great fucking colors to start a collection in the format. Derevi good but it's fun for you and unfun for everyone else

>>53939705
Yeah, that's how it works. That's not an argument against it, though. This format has dozens of ridiculously powerful cards that are legal. An expensive sorcery with weird requirements is not going to break the format. It's just an example of the shitty criteria the RC uses to ban.

The 8 mana blue is DTT.
>>
>>53939663

Compare the card to Kiki jiki. They both cost 5 mana and go infinite with a dozen cards while providing great value with the stuff they dont go infinite with.

The only differences are that Kiki wins on the spot and isn't banned

The Scarab God
3UB

At the beginning of your upkeep, each opponent loses x life and you scry x, where x is the number of zombies you control.

2UB: Exile target creature card from a graveyard. Create a token that's a copy of iit. It's also a 4/4 black Zombie.

When the Scarab God dies, return it to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step.
>>
>>53939659
Love the flavor of that card, shame about the design. Thankfully it has a small niche in Selvala.

>>53940119
I like it because it encourages horde tactics reanimator. It's not about getting super strong zombies, it's about bringing back a billion little zombies. Run it with Gisa in the 99, sac something big right before your turn, watch your opponents melt.
>>
>>53940119
We have next to no good Zombie commanders. Thrax is whatever and fucking expensive, Sedris requires a lot of mana to consistently use and G&G are... okay, I guess? Giving zombies something interesting that also encourages counterplay involving opponents' graves is great.

Shit, 3 people at my LGS all started building zombie tribal and bitched at each other for doing so the whole time.

I just might be #4.

Anybody got any tips for building big black mana with a blue splash? I'm not sure how many spots I want to devote to just zombie bullshit, I feel like devoting the deck to huge mana and effects like mesmeric orb will be much more fun.

Am I just late to the party in thinking that Rakdos, Lord of Riots is hella good or is my LGS less competitive than most?
>>
>>53941710
He's good but he's extremely hindered by being 2R2B
It's probably not too competitive either
What's your decklist? Eldrazi shenanigans?
>>
>>53941747
I don't have a real decklist yet, I built it yesterday and have been testing things out against a friend of mine. Eldrazi would be optimal for obvious reasons, but I have found great success with simple things like Master of Cruelties, Rattleblaze Scarecrow, and the huge demons like Lord of the Void.
I don't really understand your comment about 2R2B, it's not like 4 colored mana is hard to get, and casting him effectively deletes your colorless mana costs for creatures.

I don't even understand why is any of the cards banned. It's not like Helm of Obedience is, or much more degenerate things either, such as Hermit Druid. Overall Painter's Servant could be unbanned, even without banning anything that goes well with it.
>>
>>53940031
Also Kiki can go in the command zone.
>>
>>53942923
I think the problem was that it was a 2 card combo ending a game on turn 3 available in all colors. They believed every deck would run it. (And if every deck runs painters servant, that means someone else might have played your combo piece for you, even if they don't have the other half.)

We won't know if that's how games would shift though. RC just decided "fuck all that, better not risk it"

I don't know about mad, but Slivers get targeted a lot because if you leave them alone, they get out of control quickly. It's easier to just focus a Sliver deck out of the game early than try to deal with it once they're built up.

This man has the right idea.

It's a shitty zombie tribal general if you're trying to force that. Scrying doesn't do much, especially when you're paying life. That said the card is so good that it'll still be the best zombies commander by far.
His reanimate ability synergises with his first, and can abuse both your own and your opponents broken etb effects, or cards with stupid rules-altering text.

Correct way to build Scarab God is UB good stuff, not zombies
*scrys 10 for 10 life* nothin personnel

Ill be building him UB etb good stuff doomsday with lab man. Can't wait to curbstonp scrubs that thought taking 20 damage cumulatively from his first ability is good
