>What is a tribe that hasn't been revealed yet that you expect to show up in C17?

Merfolk, to fit with Ixalan.

>What is a tribe that wish would show up?

There are so many. Oozes. Skeletons. Slivers. Rats. Bears.

>>54178712
I can't find the post right this second but Maro heavily hints that Merfolk aren't one of the tribes in C17.

Judging by the revealed ones, something we had a lot of, but didn't really had any tribal support. Maybe a demon that pops up sac fodder from the command zone? I'd go with wizards for the other one.

There's gonna be a mono-colored deck that features a super-common tribe. Soldiers, Merfolk, Zombies, Goblins or Elves. Definitely gonna happen. I'd wanna see Wizards personally, but who knows?

As far as a tribe I'd like to see get more love, there are many I could choose. For the purposes of this thread though, I'm gonna go with Kavu.

If they don't put out a sliver precon im just gonna build my own.
I love synergy and it doesn't get any better than slivers, come on sliver commander that poops out a 1/1 every turn.
>>
>>54178909
I think some people are speculating slivers are a tribe here so if you're committed you may want to buy some of the staple sliver cards because they've been going up.
>>
>>54178932
A lot of that speculation was thanks to the idea of all four decks being five-color. Feline Ferocity puts a big damper on that being the case.

On the bright side, maybe the lack of value for Selesyna Cats means Wizards sticks something noteworthy in there, like a Horizon Canopy. An anon can dream.

>>54178932
Well to be fair i dont have high hopes for them being one of the precons and even if they do i think most people will be turned off by the hate they draw. Either way i can wait a bit for speculators to sell or people who dont like it to drop slivers.

Fuck any other tribe, I got exactly what I wanted. I like the idea of swinging Nacatle Warpride and Pride Sovereign, gaining +4/+4~ or so from Nactle, then doubling the Pride Sovereign for something like 12/12 trample. And it could be more like 15/15 if Arahbo booned the Pride Sovereign too before this started.

I predict Knights.
What I would have loved is Wolves because it tangents really hard into a lot of other tribes. I think they are associated with warriors, archers, shamans, werewolves and elves. I don't see it happening with cats as one of the tribes though. The other one I would love but will never see happen is spiders. I could imagine a spider/insect deck but I don't see it being very likely. BUGbugs for c17!

So yeah, it'd be pretty bad, but the Aetherborn have some pretty neat lore. Yahenni and Gonti are both great characters and I'd like to see more of that.
I'm just glad that for once the incessant quipping was justified. Yahenni quips because they live with a constant knowledge of their imminent death and can't afford to take anything too seriously. They stop quipping when they think they're about to die.

>>54180978
Cut Bygone Bishop. You have 9 other 3 CMC or less creatures in the deck. He's a wasted slot. Aegis of the Gods also isn't worth it mostly likely at 1 toughness. Get Karmic Guide & Urza's incubator if Angel Tribal is your desire.
>>
>>54180978
Ranger of Eos is also a waste. Recruiter of the Guard is enough. You don't want to spend 4 mana to tutor for your only 1 mana creature which is a land tutor.

Am I retarded or do you only have one target for Ranger of Eos?

You don't seem to have any way to deal with opposing Artifacts/Enchantments besides Planar Cleansing/Oring. I highly suggest Return to Dust, Tempest of Light/Patrician's Scorn, & Vandalblast. Replace Cryptolith Fragment with a different rock (fellwar stone, SOL RING)

I mean, it's not wrong if you can follow up on it. I actually like to test these claims whenever they pop up, and people usually can't pony up. For good reason though. If with me killing off your shit and throwing off your game plan you can still murder me on schedule, then your deck is probably too strong for the deck I am using, and I need to switch to one of my stronger ones next game.

So I'm pretty bad at game politics, but I remember hearing discussion about spite playing cards if you're about to lose and how it's kingmaking because it could make the guy you're losing to lose on the following turn.
But if you're losing to the most powerful guy at the table and you're holding a card that can influence the rest of the game, isn't it kingmaking if you don't play it because you're essentially leaving the game up to people who may or may not have ways to deal with the boardstate?

I'd say for sure we're not getting elves, demons, beasts, or giants because we've already had those.

Five color dargons is a lowball pitch for money. Kitties seems like it's geared toward new players for their first EDH; people will buy it for singles but it's not going to be another Atraxa. I'd say the last two are going to be super safe, like esper spirits or rakdos/jund goblins, but I'd say it's a pretty safe bet at least one of the decks is going to be an 'occupation' tribal like wizards or rogues hopefully rogues.

Grixis/Esper zombies would be cute, but I don't see it happening.
Colorless Myr tribal would be the best of all possible universes, but since we're in the universe with creature AND planeswalker Samut, we're definitely in 'Universe B'.

Not really. Her ability is strong but draws SO much hate that you rarely get to use it, even when just using it for silly fun stuff and not unfair tactics.

>http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/30-06-17-scarab-god/

Several threads old, I know, but I decided to finally collect some thoughts on this list.

It's a heck of an EDH deck. This is both a good thing and a bad thing; good in that decks built like that tend to be fun when at a table where they can work, bad in that they often won't work at a given table. What do I mean? I mean that the deck is chock full of expensive cards that have super splashy impacts. On the plus side, these sorts of effects tend to be at least decent, but the problem is you're never really going to hit them. You've got an average CMC of 4.38, while running 35 lands and three -- just three -- ramp cards that come in before 4 mana. Comparing this to my Scarab God brew, I'm sitting at 3.11 CMC average, 35 lands, and 10 ramp effects at CMC 3 and under. One of these decks is going to resolve its spells in a consistent manner. The problem is worse because (Barring your Training Grounds) the toll for actually getting your bonus zombies is a very notable 4 mana: your odds of pulling one AND doing anything else in the same turn cycle are fairly low

And in a funny way, having all these heavy hitters helps you less in Scarab God than you'd expect. Every time you bring something back, it comes back as a 4/4: if you use cheaper creatures with good abilities like Cephalid Constable they can upgrade in really scary ways; most of your creatures will actually degrade, at least a little, when brought back. Ask yourself if you really need so many of your natural targets to be in the cost 5 and up range when that means that they will spend a good deal of time sitting dead in your hand. Wrexial, Phenax, Nemesis of Reason, Praetors, Primordials, and Gearhulks are strong, but only if you actually cast them.
>>
>>54184298

Perhaps you're intending to discard them, and just take them as 4/4 tokens for 4 mana, but you have more sac than discard, really -- think of how much better Attrition will feel when you can sacrifice something you'd honestly like better in its second life, as opposed to something you paid a million mana for and are probably getting good value out of already.

The same goes for the spells. Rise of the Dark Realms and Army of the Damned are explosive when you finally get there. Life's Finale and Decree of pain are good, and offer you a ton of value, but they won't stop you from dying while insufficiently set up the same way that Toxic Deluge, Damnation, or even Mutilate or Bontu's Last Reckoning would. Endless Ranks of the Dead isn't too mana-expensive, but it represents a similar flaw in your deck building strategy because it's a powerfully win-more card: if you have an edge, it will extend that edge, especially with The Scarab God, but it won't help you really generate an edge to begin with. I might keep it in, but you should limit cards like that.

On the plus side, you've got some good CA in your enchantments: Phyrexian Arena, Rhystic Study, and Mystic Remora are all workhorses and of course winning off Necropotence should be fairly trivial for most decks. In fact, the enchantments are the one part of your deck that maybe you shouldn't touch.

I don't have that much to say about your land base, since you seem to have the essence of a budget selection down (Grab the shock but not the fetch; favor shit that can come in untapped, make some meta calls like Homeward Path and Ghost Quarter with utility...), but if you're running Urborg+Coffers in blue/black you have no excuse for excluding Tolaria West.

Call back when you've gotten your curve under 4 average and have 10+ ramp effects with the majority of said effects costing 2 or less, (Protip: Fellwar Stone to hit off-color activations you steal)

Still fully expecting Elves, but cats shakes my certainty on that just a little. With the bandwagon from recent sets there, Esper Zombies seem more likely than ever.

>What is a tribe that wish would show up?
I would have said pirates but Ixalan has me covered. Skeletons and Ninjas would both be pretty cool but I'm not sure they have a broad enough base of playables
>>
>>54184417
Gremlins only eat artifacts tho', Atogs would be nicer.

>>54184435
>I'm not sure they have a broad enough base of playables
Ninjas have a lot of very good effects and to get ninjutsu you just need an unblocked attacker which is easy to make with a lot of cards and combat abilities. Ninja is perfectly doable, we just don't know if WotC is willing to do it.

Let's play this again anons. What's your favorite cycle designed for commander?

1) Commander Wedge Faces (Ghave, Zedruu, The Mimeoplasm, Kaalia, Riku)
2) Commander Wedge Alternates (Karador, Ruhan, Daamia, Tariel, Animar)
3) Commander Enemy Colors (Vish Kal, Nin, Skullbriar, Basandra, Edric)
4) Commander 13 Shard Faces (Derevi, Oloro, Jeleva, Prossh, Marath)
5) Commander 13 Shard Alternates (Roon, Sydri, Nekusar, Shattergang Brothers, Gahiji)
6) Commander 14 Planeswalkers (Nahiri, Teferi, Ob Nixilis, Daretti, Freyalise)
7) Commander 14 Historicals (Jazal, Geralf, Gisa, Feldon, Titania)
8) Commander 15 Experience Counters (Daxos, Mizzix, Meren, Kalemne, Ezuri)
9) Commander 15 Alternates (Karlov, Arjun, Mazirek, Anya, Kaseto)
10) Commander 16 4 Colors (Yidris, Saskia, Kynaios and Tiro, Atraxa, Breya)
11) Commander 16 Allied Partners (Ishai, Silas Renn, Vial Smasher, Tana, Sidar Kondo)
12) Commander 16 Mythic Enemy Partners (Ravos, Ikra Shidiqi, Kydele, Ludevic, Akiri)
13) Commander 16 Rare Enemy Partners (Tymna, Reyhan, Thrasios, Kraum, Bruse Tarl)

My personal favorite is the C13 Shard Alternates. I've had a ton of fun with Roon, Sydri, and Gahiji.

They can easily do 4-color or double up on a number. They've already proven that they're not following any logic by wasting one of the decks on cats.

i meant unknown because if we base the tribes on what is revealed we will get spirits and humans (from O-kagachi and Taigam) as the other two tribes.

And then becomes the question, which is the greater crime? It's a topic that gets significant scholarly debate, and for good reason. Suffice to say nothing they decided to do was a good idea, whether in the broader scope (inhospitality) or the narrower (gay rape)...

It's not a fact though. Just because you're too dumb to understand basic MtG and because you say that it's a fact, doesn't make it so.
Stop being so salty. If you lost to a morphed red Akroma and you lack the attention span long enough to forget what the morph is, no one cares. Rules don't bend to your will.
While Sheldor is a dumbo, you're not any better.

It's about your general being put face down into exile from your library with a card like Bomats Courrier or Duplicity. Read the rules on face down cards, the rules about being a commander, and the rules about commander replacement effects and when you can apply them.

The just of it is that face down cards lose all characteristics, but being a commander is explicitly not a characteristic.

It only works if you get mindslavered or purposefully allow your general to get shuffled into your library, then play one of a half dozen cards that exile a card face down without letting anyone know the identity of that card.

It's a corner case in a corner case, that will probably never happen unless you plan to make it happen. But it could, and it's a rules loophole made by Sheldon. It can be closed by saying you can't apply the replacement effect if the card would be put into exile face down.

even if they die they still deal damage back to him
so even if you have it deathtouch and paid lets say 7 mana to kill 3 things, all three will still deal damage equal to their power back to him

the only true answer is protection or indestructibility

no because the other creatures arent targeting
only reason protection works is because it prevents damage
>>
>>54186945
If the damage they deal is equal to their power, an their power is 0 because infect or wither reduced their power to 0, then he's fine.

The fact he requires enchantments or equipments to be good though makes him a shity commander.
>>
>>54186977
No, that only affects targeted effects

I want to make a groupsluggy pillowfort Mardu deck but I can't decide on which commander to use.
I am not a big fan of partners but are any of the Mardu pairs worthwhile.

It sucks though because all WoTC did in Kaladesh was portray Aetherborn as violent murderers or menacing.
