I don't see why everybody likes signits so much. Sure, they are cheap, but they require an extra mana source to activate, so if you have no lands, or another rock, they are useless.

Because they are a cheap mana-fixing rock that adds 2 colours rather than one or the other. Let's you turn any colourless-producing land into what you need to play multicolour cards.

As an aside: it's always a bit annoying that Cluestones are not actually clue subtype. Wouldn't do much mechanically but it triggers my autism.
>>

They predate the Clue subtype.

What do you think you're casting signets with? Lotus Petals? Simian Spirit Guides? Dark Rituals?

The real problem with them is that they only produce a set pair of mana. I'd love some new signets that function like the lorwyn-shadowmoor filterlands.

Door is like a $4-$5 card, so that's entirely possible.
Coat was recently printed in Mind vs. Might, so it could happen but it's not unnecessary.
Assuming you mean Crucible of Fire, I wouldn't want that wasting a rare slot.

What it's actually looking like, from the spoiler, is that they stuffed as many Legendary Dragons as possible in there, so anyone who buys the thing could make like 20 some odd different dragon decks if they wanted.

All of them are great for parts, but it really depends on what parts you need. Kings have a lot of grouphug, pillowfort, and stax parts. Saskia has plenty of creature-based things and some good lands, and Yidris has a lot of single, high-value cards like Chromatic Lantern, wheels, etc.

>>54602137
It's what a precon built around Scion would look like. Fitting, since Scion's in the deck. I'd actually expect Door or Coat to show up in one of these decks, but only in one of them because fuck you preorder them all.

these lands are way too expensive and this is the only instance where I feel like fetch lands need to be reprinted until they come down in cost, they're an absolute staple its heinous printing them in rare. Ive probably spent 1k on fetch lands already this year

Im particularly salty because I had to get eight more fetches for my mill deck for maximum cheesing at my local tournaments. God bless you Fraying Sanity you beautiful enchant, Duskmantle + Mind Crank jank can just be replaced by Traumatize sideboard for instant faggot supreme wins against particularly scrub decks.

>>
>>54604947
Because of print runs. The card language hardly matters, if you're familiar with the card. Besides, with some cards you're going to need oracle text anyway because of outdated wording, so the language matters even less in those cases. You could ask the same about foils, but everyone wants the hieroglyphic cards anyway, so korean, japanese, chinese and russian cards tend to be expensive.
It doesn't matter if you can read the language or not.

it would be cool if the filterland-signets costed 1 generic and 1 hybrid of the two colours it filters, and then it has the exact same filtering (cost included) as the lorwyn lands. it also cannot tap for C. and if wotc are pussies, make them come in tapped.

Half the time, "spicy tech" is code for "janky and cute card that does one, specific thing". Cards in my deck have to fill all three of those checkpoints for me. Also, you're not me and I'm not you. You can play however and with whatever you want to. My methods work for me.

Never buy a box expecting to get the singles you need. If you just want to open an eternal masters box and don't have any expectations go for it, otherwise just buy the singles you want.
>>
>>54605741
That's how it works. The people who sell packs/boxes know the average value of what they're selling, and the price will always be more than what buying those cards individually would cost. If it wasn't then they'd just open the things themselves.

But same applies to foils as well for you I assume. Why "pimp" your deck, since it's more expensive? It's solely a matter of preference.

>>54606072
I don't have a solid list yet. Storm is a bit of a misnomer. You do storm things, like casting most of your deck in one turn, but you don't actually win with a storm card (unless hurricane counts).

The general principle is load your deck with as many legends as the mono green color identity allows. Remember that anything legendary nonland triggers reki. Paradox Engine and Alhamaret's Archive are easily the allstars of the deck, but Kaldesh gave you so many amazing tools. There are enough good legends that you don't have to include crap in there. Use Green's insane mana generation and Reki to churn through your deck until you get Planar Bridge or Skyship Weatherlight, and use it to tutor whatever gamewinning card you need.

I had the idea of running an enchantment based Atraxa deck because of the Oaths and there are a lot of good enchantments involving counters like the Parallax cards and Saproling Burst. Kind of hard to fit a decent amount of planeswalkers and a bunch of enchantments in the same deck though. From a few games I tested with it looks like I need some ramp kind of hard to setup the walkers and the enchantments and Atraxa without mana acceleration. Was looking for some ideas.

Thoughts on the new Urza card? A 20 mana planeswalker is pretty nuts but in EDH i can see it being castable.

So my playgroup got frustrated with me for building a Horde of Notions reanimator goodstuff.dek and dominating games (I didn't intend to rule the table, I just wanted to cheese my graveyard out a lot). I posted about it before, you may have seen it.

ANYWAY, we all agreed (myself included) that I needed a second less powerful deck. Given that my Horde deck was worth like 1000 cheeseburgers, I resolved to split it in half financially. To that end I built these:

Athreos Shadowborn Apostle Human/Demon tribal shit featuring Reanimator shenanigans and shit jank like Brisela:
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/athreos-god-of-pissing-my-play-group-off-1/

Animar with lots of zero cost weenies and no infinite combos because my meta has a rule against them:
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/animar-more-like-animore-counters-1/

I already traded in my Horde of Notions deck for store credit with an online dealer to fund two new decks, so I wanted to check with you guys here as you will call me out on it if I'm a fucking retard. Do these look fun to play against? Are there any glaring flaws in the decks? Maybe cards I overlooked? Are they too weak or too strong? Any and all feedback is welcome. I'd just ask my playgroup but most of them are fairly new to the game and won't know what they are really looking at.

>>54601730
>Thread Question:
>What are your favorite mana rocks?
Sol Ring and Chromatic Lantern are the only ones I like. Other ones are too fragile or simply not worth the investment to me, I prefer to use land grab ramp. Then again, my meta has a complete lack of MLD so that may be why. Also Darksteel Ingot is okay.

I was expecting that
>>
>>54605755

>>
>>54606749
Neheb is fantastic, but not cEDH viable because by the time your comboing off, either you've already blown everyone out, or your in need of support that your mana can't help with.

For example, without reliable card draw, tutors or recursion reds at a disadvantage in general. Yes, past in flames is a thing, and same with shreds of sanity, but you're never going to want to yard your bombs in the first place, and if you have them you're already winning.
>>
>>54606742
Why in any?

Because it's a budget creature that can turn a reanimation effect into a kill spell. They're not going to put something like Noxious Gearhulk in.

Shriekmaw is a Terror effect, Hatchling is a Doom Blade.
>>

More like a more competitive rakdos.
>>
>>54606782
And to add, if he was Rakdos he'd be banned. Cheating out wound reflection and then smashing face with reanimation shenanagians is enough to make people quit, let alone using rite of consumption and fling to bring the pain. His aggressive cost is fantastic in casual because of his fat ass and the afflict damage but there's nothing he does that wouldn't be better with darietti or feldon instead.
>>
>>54606973
Don't get me wrong Mana Crypt is great. But I don't feel like dropping 65 cheeseburgers on a rock that dies to simple removal and will burn me for 3 50% of the time.

But yes my meta is basically weenie hut jrs. Reanimator goodstuff dominated the meta dude come on.

Speaking of Jhoria, if I were to throw all the good stuff imaginable in that deck, reasonably, how good is it really going to be? Unlike kaliaa, who has a very strong mld variant, it seems like a casual trap, where a top tier Jhoria deck and a mid tier one are going to preform similarly because they still need to suspend things for a certain duration of time.
>>

aw shit then, my meta is selvala storm, nekusar/locust, meren/uril, animar that gets dunked for ThTy

>>54607143
Jhoira is one of those commanders that's in the perfect sweetspot to be bad in all possible versions of EDH. She's super threatening in casual so you will get hated out, and in competitive she's incredibly underwhelming.

>>54607209
Thanks anon, I appreciate the honesty.

Let me rephrase things slightly: with all the bombs that you'd run in Jhoria, is there any deck that functions similarly? I know animar and karador would work, but I'd really like to keep the blue artifact jazz I just bought. I was thinking straight face ramp into Planeswalkers teferi with high tide and doubling cube, but an eldrazi Titan or Jin Jan augur man are like 12 mana, tops.
>>
>>54607215
I currently am playing karador combo/stax, heavy on stax but sometimes there's just nothing i can do, sometimes there's just not enough time or shitlords on blue counter stuff that doesn't hurt them and guy who would be locked wins since they tapped out to get my stuff. And sometimes I just combo off before others. It get's tiring on my part.
>>
>>54607213
if that c stands for casual, i agree.

The format should be balanced for competitive edh, because casuals don't need a banlist.

>>54607306
I don't see what's so try hard about it. You can play casual edh without a banlist. That's just an attitude thing, not a card pool thing.

But it's difficult to play competitively when things like sol ring are off the banlist while painter's servant is.
>>
>>54607397
>But it's difficult to play competitively when things like sol ring are off the banlist while painter's servant is.
Maybe that's a casual format you stupid pavement ape. It has zero competitive support. Why don't you just play Standard or Modern?
>>
>>54607415
Because as bad as the format's balance is, competitive edh is still more fun than standard or modern, due to the unique rules and card pool.

Anyways, a competitive banlist would serve casuals just as well as the current banlist does, so it's a simple equation:

Competitive banlist serves competitives and casuals.
Casual banlist serves only casuals.

One of these makes the format more fun for more people, and so should be adopted.
>>
>>54607397
General consensus of the cEDH players is that they want to take cards off the banlist instead of adding more or them.That means you have no idea what you are talking about.
>>
>>54607436
Name one card on the ban list thats there because of casual player

Now tell me all the cards you want removed so it'll make your deck better
>>
>>54607436
>Anyways, a competitive banlist would serve casuals just as well as the current banlist does, so it's a simple equation:
You don't seem to get it. There's no reason to make a competitive banlist because there's no official competitive support for the format. If you and your playgroup want one, just make one yourself. What is stopping you? Vote cards on or off the list by majority rule.

Why do you need to flip the format on it's head and adjust the value of a ton of cards to satisfy your own desire to make a casual format into a competitive one?

The vast majority consider this a casual format. That's how it was designed and that's how it's balanced. There's no reason to change that.
>>
>>54607397
I thought Sol Ring was banned in Duell Commander.
>>
>>54607466
You can do both anon, and you clearly have no idea what you're talking about if you think a cEDH list wouldn't.

In fact, both versions of a competitive banlist widely used do just that. See the WotC banlist which adds and removes cards, and the French list which does the same.

>>54607478
Primeval Titan and Sylvan Primordial were both on there because of casual concerns.

I would like to see both taken off the list, even though I don't play green (or blue so no bribery/clone shenanigans).

>>54607486
>if the banlist sucks, just make your own. This attitude is why EDH sucked to play online (until wizards took over), and why it sucked to play with anyone you didn't know before. A competitive banlist would have fixed both issues.
>>
>>54607531
>A competitive banlist would have fixed both issues
A competitive banlist would satisfy only a small number of the playerbase and could potentially disrupt the majority. It would also have ramifications on the current market. The cons outweigh the pros.

How would a competitive banlist disrupt the majority of people who ignore the banlist anyways?

>>
>>54607597
No, it's true. Anyways, casual players are more readily able to agree to banlist modifications if they use the banlist than competitive players. So again, competitive players have a greater need of a good banlist than casual players.
>>
>>54607478
Coalition Victory. Way too much work for it to be competitive, but casual players don't like to lose in such a stupid way.

Braids/Erayo, there are currently quite a lot of better commanders for competitive, but these are "unfun to play against".

Prime Time and Sylvan Primordial, someone already explained why.

Worldfire - "unfun"
>>
>>54607609
>So again, competitive players have a greater need of a good banlist than casual players
This doesn't change the fact that nobody gives a shit what competitive players want because they are an EXTREME minority.
>>
>tfw just realized skullclamp is +1/-1 not +1/+1
im fucking retarded
but it should still be good in elfball right?
>>
>>54607637
Well, clearly wizards did, so I doubt they are as extreme a minority as you think they are. but that's still irrelevant to the point that banning competitively wouldn't hurt casuals, and would help competitives. So just from a utility perspective, if there's even 1 competitive edh player, you get more utility from making the banlist for him than you do from making it for every casual.
>>
>>54607647
the -1 is why it's good.
>>
>>54607647
the fact that it's +1/-1 makes it better than if it was +1/+1 you fucking massive baboon
>>
>>54607647
Oh man, you're in for a treat. +1/+1 would be a NERF to Skullclamp.
You should absolutely play it. Just...try goldfishing a game where you have it in your opening hand.

Coalition victory isn't really that much work though, it's expensive in terms of money but that's all. If you have all the fetchlands and duals it is quite easy to get every basic land type, then your commander can be the permanent of each color, no tucking it either

>Worldfire - "unfun"

Actually, Worldfire is on the banlist because they didn't think to have it empty your mana pool. Being able to cast your commander after playing Worldfire defeats the whole purpose of the card.
>>
>>54607992
I still don't buy banning it. If you let somebody cast 2+ spells for a total of probably 13 mana, they should win.
>>
>>54607992
Still, it's more of a casual concern, I don't think worldfire + a creature would be better than any of the current combos played in competitive.
>>
>>54608033
>2+ spells
That's disingenuous. You play Worldfire and then win because you have a commander with haste who's always available. In a 2 card combo, everyone has a chance to react. With Worldfire, you counter it or you're dead.
>>
>>54608075

The banlist is designed with casual in mind
>>
>>54608075
Obviously not. The banlist is centered around casual games. If it were centered around competitive, it would be 100+ cards long.

Check the thread of replies, some retard insisted that it was. That was what I was reffering to.

context anon.

>>54608093
No, it isn't, because you still need the mana available to cast your commander, which means you're still letting the red player get to 13+ mana.

Your options below 13 mana are Tuktuk the Explorer and Zurgo, Bellstriker, both of which are mono-red and won't be consistent with the combo.

The thing with worldfire is that if it resolves, even if you dont have mana to cast your commander, the game is changed in such a way that everything else that happened is negated. There is no more decisionmaking, there is no more playing, there is no advantage based on your previous playstyle, there is only a carddraw a turn and a win for the luckiest draw.
Even if you ignore all the scummy stuff you could do with and just see it as what it is it is terrible for the format, both competetive and casual.
Casual games would probably just stop on the spot as any victory is made meaningless.
Competetive games will more often than not be reduced to a throw of a die.
If you want Worldfire unbanned just throw some dies instead.
>>
>>54610133
The game wasn't meaningless anon. You let a player get to 9 mana open with no counterspells on the board. People fucked up to get to that state.

Besides, tooth and nail is more guaranteed, and is allowed.
>>
>>54610245
I agree, but ask yourself this question then:
can you see the situation proposed by me happening? At all?

Take your answer and combine it with the fact that other combos/boardclears/Winconditions exist in every colour and ask oyurself if it would really be neccesary to unban worldfire or if it really would do more harm than help.
>>
>>54610306
Worldfire is a fair combo piece. Any uses that harm casual games can be taken care of with casual house rules, the same way nearly all MLD is soft banned in a casual setting.
>>
>>54606654
What's their deal with Extractor Demon?
>>
>>54610245
>my playgroup never gets to 9 mana meme
And I agree that T&N is better, but that's not the point of why Worldfire is banned. It's banned because the ONLY way you can interact with it is a counter. Playing Abzan? Tough shit.
>>
>>54610245
>with no counterspells

This heavily implies that the only way to play the format is if all decks at the table run blue.

That's some bullshit logic. If you aren't running a deck with blue suddenly you fucked up and you deserve to lose the game?

Casual format nigga, not "play blue or scoop" format. If you want that, then you should be playing vintage.
>>
>>54610332
It's a useless card in cEDH and a bullshit win in casual. There's no reason to unban it unless you want to curbstomp your casual meta and make them quit the game.
>>
>>54609861
Yeah, but you're going to have to put a bit more effort into getting a Worldfire onto the stack above a Gut Shot.
>>
>>54610332
Would you say it is important that worldfire gets unbanned? would you say you "miss" worldfire in the format?
Everything you can achieve with worldfire you can achieve with other cards in all colours.

The only difference is that worldfire leads to unenjoyable experiences.
And im not saying unejoyable for your opponent, it kills the fun for everyone who enjoys playing magic.

Because you are no longer playing magic. You roll a dice.
>>
>>54610463
>Would you say it is important that worldfire gets unbanned?
Yes, because every banlist should strive to be as minimal as possible. Without a reason to ban worldfire (and none of you have posted a valid one so far), then it should be taken off the list, by the rc's own criteria.
>>
>>54610515

What about sway of the stars?
>>
>>54610133
>>54610463
I mean, that's not entirely true. It does somewhat turn the game into a die roll, yes, but it's a weighted die roll. Assuming you're not an idiot, you've built your deck under the assumption that you might be casting Worldfire, which would mean your deck should be better able to recover from it, playing more CMC 1 spells or even Sunscorched Desert.

It's not something that rewards strategy in-the-moment, but during deck construction.
>>
>>54610515
> It needs to be unbanned because banlists should be shorter
That is a fucking shallow reason if you dont give further insight WHY you believe a banlist should be short.

Also, what you see as "valid" and what actually is valid are too different things.
I dont decide and neither do you.

I would also love to hear your reasoning to a further degree than "this shit ain't valid,yo"
>>
>>54610577
I am who you replied to and i have to say you are technically correct and i am aware of this.

I myself tinkered with a similar idea. The conclusion i came to was that such a deck is not valid for competetive play because there are better options and for casual it just feels miserable to have this kind of wincondition, because you still dont win guaranteed and you really dont want to fill your deck with raging goblins and the like.
>>
>>54610629
I've already described why your reasoning isn't valid. If worldfire creates poor gamestates similar to MLD, it can be treated like all MLD cards: unbanned by the RC, softbanned by the groups who dislike it.

The banlist should be kept as short as possible because an attraction of EDH is the large card pool, and wide open nature of the format. Banning things pointlessly goes against the format's values.

Also, if you dislike that the banlist should be kept as short as possible, take that up with the RC. That's one of their explicitly stated goals with the banlist.
>>
>>54610515
>none of you have posted a valid one so far

Could you point out how they aren't valid? Because so far all you have said is that it can be countered, which is true of every other spell on the banlist.
>>
>>54609861
>3 card combo that costs 10 mana across two colors and uses a banned card
>one-shot-kill
sure is
>>
>>54610709
MLD destroys lands. Mana Rocks are a thing. People are still allowed to play magic.
I myself am a fan of MLD because it creates an interesting boardstate in a format that is often flooded with mana, the deck that is best optimized to go on with almost nothing is at an advantage. This is a valid wincondition.

The same is not true for worldfire.
A build arround worldfire is still a gamble with almost no consistency.

The banlist exists for a reason. The reason is that certain cards shape the format in a way that is not true to the formats intend or are just not "made" or "healthy" for the format.
I am all in favour of keeping the banlist as short as possible, but that doesnt mean unbanning cards not fit for the format.
The large cardpool you mentioned is also the solution for this: you like worldfire? There are similar not as degenerate cards, take these instead.

>game ends before I can even play my commander
>>
>>54610768
In addition to countering, worldfire gets btfo by the following:

Any commander with Flash
Any commander that can self exile and return
Any exile then return at end of turn spell
Any Oblivion Ring type effect
Any permanent that creates a creature when it leaves the battlefield
any permanent that causes someone to lose life or take damage when it leaves the battlefield.
Phasing. Worldfire loses to phasing.
Anything with Champion makes it so worldfire can't win.
Anything with Suspend.

Every color has plays against it.

Keldon Marauders/Outpost Siege
Oblivion Ring/Ghostaway
Oubliette
Thragtusk
Aetherling, Icy Prison, Magus of the Jar
Vela the Night Clad
Portcullis, Memory Jar

If worldfire was a threat in your meta, you had numerous deckbuilding options against it.

They don't work because nobody would cast worldfire into them. You can't flash in a thragtusk.

She's the most played commander in EDH, and more people play EDH than Legacy.

>>
>>54613099
Many of which you'd include anyways.
>>
>>54613162
>>54613099
>>54612577
As far as O-Ring goes, EDH is a multiplayer format. As long as you O-Ring someone other than the worldfire player, you've made it so worldfire is not a tenable combo.
>>
>>54613162
No you don't. You're just being a contrarian for the sake of shitposting. Having a few situational cards that can get around a bullshit, gamebreaking card doesn't make that card less bullshit.
>>
>>54612985
They don't "work" because the worldfire still exists in that players hand (or library if they were going to tutor it) they can either remove your shit or wait for the boardstate to change from someone else wrathing or whatever.

Also, if you are claiming people are going to be Oblivion ringing their own shit on the off chance that you might have a worldfire, I think you are the one that seriously needs to re-examine your approach.

But I think you are just trolling for (you)s, because no one would seriously make that claim. Enjoy pissing into an ocean of piss.
>>
>>54613222
See: >>54613200

You clearly don't know what you're talking about if your first thought is that you have to o-ring your own stuff to make worldfire unplayable.
>>
>>54613204
>oblivion ring shows up in 13000+ decks on edhrec
>you wouldn't play this shit

???
>>
>>54613367
i have no idea what this argument is about but o-ring is among the worst ways to do removal in edh. whatever you just exiled just comes back later almost certainly and gets an additional ETB effect, and a lot of times you can precisely decide when you want to kill the o-ring and resume comboing or attacking with that card
>>
>>54606409
Bene gesserit witch!
>>
>>54613314
I think you don't know what your talking about. This whole conversation was about a more competitive banlist. If you aren't playing 1v1 then you aren't really playing magic, your just playing a game of who brought the most friends to the event.

If you just walked into this conversation assuming that people were talking about casual magic, then you don't know what that means if you think people have a to run a handful of specific cards to lose the game to a card that only works that way because of format specific rules.

Abundant Growth and it's like. While I can't colour filter the same way the artifacts can, the auras are easier to keep around in a long game (Bane of Progress will knock em out but that pesky Red Overload card won't) and my main deck has an enchantress shell.
Outside of a green-based deck, Chromatic Lantern and the Medallion cycle are my go-tos.

>>54613773
would this work with grasp of fate
>>
>>54613964
No, grasp of fate has the fixed wording
>>
>>54613964
No; the key aspect is that Oblivion Ring, an similar effects like Door to Nowhere, are two separate effects, one that exiles on ETB and one that returns on LTB. If you can get the triggers to stack out of order then you can get rid of things permanently. With Grasp of Fate, if you remove it before the effect resolves then it just never happens.
