Does anyone have any spicy tech for the new Neheb?

I'm planning on retooling my Feldon into it, with Hidestugu as my secret commander. The objective is to ramp stupidly hard, cast Hidestugu, play Neheb the next turn, and just shit on people with a giant fireball. Seize the day is a backup option, and I'd like to just shit out a bunch of damage doublers and wham for the fences. In theorycrafting, the biggest problem is early game, and I'm not too sure how to fix that, outside of rocks, rocks and more rocks.

Ignore discord posters.

If one of them manages to make the OP and put the link to their shit there, ignore it.

If they start screaming about how their link isn't there, ignore in smug and SILENT satisfaction.

New question, what are some commanders you HATE and why. I'll start.
>Zur
The world's at his fingertips but it's always the same linear combo.
>Maralen
Because she never works the way I want her to, as anything other than a poor man's Sidisi.
>Kalenme
She's not only bad, she's a flavorless abomination of idiocy. Gitrog is more of a meme but is at least a reasonable commander. Samut is more stapled but has non-terrible showings in Magic Story. I would be happy if Kalenme was never mentioned ever again, but I'm not going to get that so I might as well bitch about it.

What are the "official" rulings on bringing in cards from outside the game?
>>
>>54142274
Playgroup agreement on scope.
Usually a 15 card sideboard is accepted, rarely some people allow from entire collection.
>>
>>54142274
In casual your entire collection I guess.

During tournaments your sideboard.
>>
>>54142152
I can't see him working out of a Feldon shell, but you seem to have a good general idea of where to go.

Consider Malignus and Goblin Game to also make Neheb generate inordinate amounts of mana. Of course, run Fork and that new one (Reiterate? Reverberate?) and any other similars since it's usually better to spend 2 to copy a spell rather than spending +2 to X. Also, why Fireball when you can Comet Storm? Fireball divides.
>>
>>54142249
>New question, what are some commanders you HATE and why.
UW Daxos. Every single time it hits the field, you end up eating an unblockable attack, exiling something awesome, and getting it played against you.
>>
>>54142031
You really should take your meds and go to sleep
>>54142249
>>
>>54142306
I think I misspoke, I used "fireball" as a general word for an X damage kill-the-table comet storm spell, but you get the gist.

How do I actually get my kill spells? Is there any way to reliably get that stuff, or do I just have to pray for magical christmasland? Neheb seems much better in the 99 of a boros or rakdos deck than he does as a commander, but goddamn I want to have him in the command zone all the time.

Anyways, Malignus is a fantastic idea. I think Quietus Spike also procs his mana generating ability. Is there any equipment/red auras that gives a creature indestructible, or is Eldrazi/Akroma's monument my best bet?
>>
>>54142274
You can't.
>>
>>54142274
You can't, unless it's explicitly agreed upon before hand.

>>54142305
>>54142292
Both wrong, you need to ask first, no sideboards are allowed in tournaments.
>>
>>54142274
People are saying sideboard but wouldn't it be exiled cards?
>>
>>54142510
"Exile" is an in-game zone, and all old wordings of "remove _ from the game" have been oracled to "exile _".
"Outside the game" means exactly as it says, a card that was not in the current game to begin with.
>>
>>54142510
>>54142510
I think exile is technically "removed from the game, but still part of it, for the purposes avoiding of shenanigans". As in, "removed from the game" is errat'd to "exile zone".

How do you feel about this /edh/? Did we violate the spirit of the game?

I'm pissed fa/tg/uys! Why the fuck is land destruction and taxation effects so frowned on in a boros deck for commander if that's what the fucking colors do! Like there's an unspoken rule about not using LD and if you do you're un-fun. That's what red and to a lesser extent white do. It's like saying ramping is frowned upon so nobody can ramp because it's unfair and puts the caster way ahead of curve.

My play group gets so butt mad about a single stone rain, or demolish. Fuck, our maelstrom wanderer player got so pissy when I ghost quartered his gaeas cradle (from my mono G Titania) I can't imagine how it is for other boros players. I'm currently brewing a boros deck but it's just so damn hard to find an efficient game plan that won't distance me from my play group.

Is my playgroup just a bunch of shitters? Should I just build it the way I want to?

The only endgame for chaos decks is making your opponents give up. Sounds like he did that, but then REEEEEEE'd when everyone else wanted to keep playing their game.

However, your correctness is relative to how autistic that guy was.

>>54142397
>How do I actually get my kill spells?

Use any or all of the following
> Saturation
Having multiple options to kill with is fairly important. It's why you'd run Goblin Game alongside Hidetsugu, or even Fireball alongside Comet Storm
>Wheels
Classic wheels will actually draw you a lot of cards. Looting is fairly similar. When you're playing what amounts to a combo deck you don't care that most such effects are card-negative or card-neutral, you just want to get the RIGHT cards
>Colorless Draw and draw-like effects
Never underestimate the power of Moonring Mirror; it starts at "weird, personal howling mine" and if you wheel to hell the damn thing goes fucking insane. Problem: others may not underestimate Moonring Mirror either. Scroll Rack and even Howling Mine are also fair calls
>Planar Portal
I used to consider the portal an EDH staple, and it never really let me down, at least not when I was going for big mana. I still consider it in any deck that needs some specific cards and might have trouble getting them, which seems to describe the situation you're in.

Ramp hard to ramp even harder; this is the way of Neheb.
>>
>>54142617
MLD makes it so no one gets to play the game. When the point of making a deck is to play the game, then putting all your energy into making sure no one else can play is rather frustrating.

That being said, targeted land destruction shouldn't be an issue. It is frustrating, such as when someone destroys my bounce land when I only have three lands on the field, but getting rid of particularly powerful nonbasics is really the only smart thing to do. Try proxing a Pentacle and see how soon they play TLD.
>>
>>54142751
>moonring mirror
Wow, that's spicy as Fuck. To make sure I get it : moonring your day exiled cards to your hand, then your hand is exiled by it, so if you do it again you get your hand back.

Why stax is no treated the same way? It's so much worse,
>>
>>54142941
Cause if you team up and kill the stax player (or the stax pieces), the game goes on. There's no out after MLD
>>
>>54142941
Stax makes it more difficult to play and requires a bit of thought to play around. MLD is the equivalent of telling people that they shouldn't even think about playing for a while.
>>
>>54142803
I'm not building a LD edh I'm building Archangel Avacyn/ the purifier edh. Which happens to contain 3-5 LD cards (not counting my wasteland/mine/quarter package) but there is no recursion for it. It's whole focus is basically stall out long enough to play angel tribal
>>
>>54142972
The game is over turn on turn 3 against teferi Stax, but you need to wait another 30 mins for him to close a game. Someone at the table can maybe interrupt him but you still need to endure his turns and doing nothing for a lot of time. MLD is either you draw or not, you can recover pretty quickly, here it's a slog no matter what.
>>
>>54142941
MLD is one spell that instantly wins the game due to unequal setup. Stax is procedural and "equal" in the sense that it effects everyone. A new player sees Armageddon, sees your mana rocks, and goes "fuck". A new player sees a stax lock and needs it explained before they get mad.
>>
>>54142803
I was just referring that no matter how little MLD there is, people get fanny flustered over it. It's not like I'm Avacyn angel of hope + worldslayer or Armageddon.
>>
>>54143081
Your playgroup has a very thin skin it seems. It is a one thing getting mad over unexplained Obliterate "for teh lulz", but if they are mad about losing any lands at all, or tactical MLD, maybe you should find different people to play with.
>>
>>54142820
yeah, any hand you exile to trade with the mirror becomes part of what you'll get the next time you trade hand with mirror.
>>
>>54142972
>There's no out after MLD
There is exactly the same out as against Stax, except it's even easier. Once a stax lock has you to zero permanents, its lock pieces don't go away (well, maybe the smokestack does but the rest, taxing your spells and preventing your untaps don't), they will be there as you try to recover and fight back, holding you down and making it so you can't do what you want to do. Once MLD fires, it's done. If you actually held lands, had rocks and dorks yourself that survived, had a reasonable board beyond your lands, or fuck it all get a little lucky and draw some more mana, you can regrow quite reasonably. Sure, the player that resolved the MLD will probably be poised to develop faster and win, but a team effort can often take them down and if they fired off their armageddon because lolrandumb it's a moderate irritation at worst.

Imo it's not like warp world where resolving three times does nothing. If it actually does damage to a player, maybe it should be counted. However goblin game is fucking annoying so idk
>>
>>54142676
If you didn't want to do it you should surrender, he was probably trying to kill you in a stupid way but still. Telling someone who wins the game, or is trying to get a huge advantage "no you don't, fuck of" makes you a much bigger asshole than him.

Wishes used to be able to grab exiled cards before they were errata'd

I remember because you could do this cool trick where you would cast cunning wish with mirari in play, snag a sweet card from your sideboard with one and get back an exiled cunning wish with the other, and basically tutor your whole sideboard

It could be said that he won and we're just gonna finish up our game then. We all surrender to him but want to continue with what we have since it wouldn't effect the board state in the slightest.

White - Sram (?) or maybe a hatebear
Blue - Teferi PW
Black - Sidisi, Undead Vizier
Red - Daretti, Scrap Savant followed by Slobad
Green - Selvala, Heart of the Wilds

Azorius - GAAIV
Orzhov - Teysa, Orzhov Scion, Karlov for 1v1
Boros - Brion Stoutarm, maybe Basandra
Selesnya - Captain Sisay
Dimir - Dralnu, Lich Lord with Oona right behind
Izzet - Keranos or Nin. Jhoira might have a shot if your meta is low on interaction.
Simic - Thrasios. Partners this strong were a bad choice. If that doesn't count then Zegana and Momir Vig duke it out.
Rakdos - Grenzo, Dungeon Warden
Golgari - Gitrog, but Meren, Jarad, and Nath have strong builds.
Gruul - Ruric Thar with Radha dominating 1v1

Bant - Rafiq of the Many
Esper - Zur the Enchanter
Grixis - Jeleva but she can be swapped with any other Grixis commander in most of her builds.
Jund - Prossh. Jund has very few non-sac options.
Naya - Marath
Abzan - Karador
Jeskai - Narset
Sultai - Tasigur but nowadays it's just Thrasios. Leovold, Sidisi, Damia, and the Mimeoplasm are all very strong too and can hold their own.
Mardu - Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. Kaalia in 1v1. Marchesa is okay too.
Temur - Animar. Riku has a few strong but very niche builds for Twin. Maelstrom is the boogeyman of casual tables but isn't really that scary.

Any 4-color deck
>Thrasios

Five-Color - General Tazri

Colorless - Kozilek, Butcher of Truth. Karn, Silver Golem has some nice things going for him too.

>tfw constantly torn between if I want more fun decks or if I want more competitive decks
>don't even fucking have one yet
I bought the anthology, but I'm a bit hesitant to drop some 250 dollars to upgrade one singular deck. I truly do want to build Kaalia of the Vast. In no other format can you just fucking drop angels/demons/dragons for free from your hand, or have a plethora of otherwise unusable reanimate spells like unburial rites as backup.
>>
>>54146661
the key is to make something that has big splashy, possibly game winning cards. but also stupid shit. you don't aim for 100% or 0%. you aim for 50-75%.
>>
>>54146507
My Budget is nowhere near modest.

I'm doing EDH because it's pretty good for the cost. I'm probably not going to be all spikey because it seems like CEDH is pretty unbalanced.

legit doing that right now.
People know what she's about. As long as you don't put in protections for Kaalia shes easy to control.
She's able to be played competitively but you're mostly tutoring for master of cruelties or Avacyn/Armageddon combo.
And the rest is just black tutors, re-animators and haste outlets.

I'm building her to show off all the foils I got from from the vault: angel.

I honestly wanted to play Planechase more, but the dice hates my group and we always end stuck on pic related.

>>54150394
Had that plane last week, ended up dealing 12 damage to someone before we got away from it.

Still planechase is pretty fun if the people interact with the planes.

Repercussion and damage-based wipes, everyone gets burned sorceries like Flame Rift become rituals with him too.

>>54150394

>>
>>54150394
We dont play planechase anymore. My decks just happen to abuse some of those gimics pretty hard which caused too much butthurt. The last time I played I got some part of vryn that gave my wheels rebound, I shot off a windfall and wof, and then hit some staircase plane that if I remember right was stairs to infinity. Then I used my mana up drawing cards and the wheelstorm+nekusar melted everyone. I also got the hp gained per spell cast with an aetherflux resevior the game before so I miss planechase.

Planechase is a lot better when you sculpt the planar deck to accommodate your regular players and yourself but not cooperate with them too much. Case in point, I'm okay with something like Naar Isle in the deck, but Meren pops up frequently enough that Grixis does not get invited.

You really don't need that many non-basics unless you're running a Hermit Druid deck.

If your playgroup is Johnny enough, they don't actually care about "winning", they just wanted to do the combo.

Sometimes it's fine. You should let there be a plane or two that one player would really love to be on, but play it Eternity Map style, so other players can deliberately attempt to get away from it as soon as it's nearby.
>>
>>54154172

>>
>>54154141
You are fucking wrong though. The number of basics you run in your deck should be based on how many pips you are running. If you want turn 3 necropetence, turn 4 cryptic, turn 5 Kiki, you can't pull that off by running a shit ton of basics. Advising people on mana base without seeing the rest of the deck is dumb as hell, and leads me to believe you don't know what you are talking about.

There's already 4 different 5c sliver commanders, and I'm pretty sure MaRo said that they're pretty much never gonna print more because of the 4 that already exist, especially since it's always a single strategy no matter which of the 4 you use.

You fail to see that a tribal monocolored commander like that is shit and it's much better in the 99 of a muticolored deck with a commander that actually does something and by the look of things it will do somwthing from the command zone at well making it invaluably better than a regular legend
>>
>>54156848
I never said it was good, I said it existed.
Wizards only cares about EDH pandering cards existing and then never having to go back to tribes again.
Just look at Ishkanah or Ulrich for example. They're both complete shit, both for their tribes and overall, but because they exist Wizards thinks they never have to print another Werewolf or Spider commander.
This is why the Sphinx tribal card being in a standard set makes it near-0 chances that they'll be in C17.

We aren't in a situation where they have to fill gaps because commander products are focussing on other themes and not tribes like when those legends were released, we are in the exact opposite situation where Wizards can finally focus on tribes and not only that: short after C17 we're getting a Master set focussing on big dudes of wich a good bunch will he Angels, Dragons and Sphinxes why would they miss the chance to sell 200$ boxes to 3 of the 4 precon buyers and 2x100$ boxes from Amonkek and HoD to the other one?

>what does the cost of a card mean

you've never wondered why your cards sometimes run out while you're playing? and why drawing cards costs mana?
>>
>>54157830
That doesn't make it equal to 3.5 mana.
>>
>>54157830
And 1 card is not worth 2.5 mana. Harmonize trades 4 for 3, or 1.3. Brainstorm, Ponder, and Git Probe trade 1 for 1.

>ambition's cost costs 4 mana and 3 life, and gives you 3 cards

>the difference is 2 mana and 1 life in exchange for an extra card

etc.

a card costs a little more 2 mana in almost any case. that's how the game is balanced. saying that giant growth only costs you 1 mana is retarded, the cost of a card is what matters there
>>
>>54157925
It doesn't. You're simply overestimating it. And besides, it's not just a Giant Growth. It's a Giant Growth that is only for Cats, which isn't a very big creature type.
>>
So what do you guys think of Ghostway, Eerie Interlude, and Legion's Initiative?
>>
>>54157914
harmonize and concentrate are costed very generously, and are rare exceptions. even then, they're 4 mana draw spells and are therefore more efficient.

i don't really understand why you're bringing up cantrips either. they replace themselves. when you cast git probe, you're paying 1 mana to look at your opponent and replace the card. that's why git probe's effect isn't as strong as giant growth's. it replaces itself, while giant growth doesn't.

this shouldn't be that hard to understand

>>54157949
find me a draw 2 spell at 2 mana with no additional drawback, and i'll accept that a card is worth exactly 2 mana.
>>
>>54157914
>And 1 card is not worth 2.5 mana. Harmonize trades 4 for 3, or 1.3. Brainstorm, Ponder, and Git Probe trade 1 for 1.

Not that guy, but he is probably close to right. You are forgetting that each of those cards also costs a card (itself) to cast. So harmonize only puts you up 2 cards for 4 mana, or 2 mana a card. All of the cantrips net you 0 cards, typically you just get better selection for your mana is all.
