Looking over my Mizzix deck and I just can't ever seem to find it to ever be consistent. Think it is worth taking apart to buy the wizards deck and making something with the precon and the mizzix deck? Would Mizzix be a good idea to include in the deck? Talrand or Baral? I could also include Jevela which might be fun since I never played with her.

I guess signets if you are running them. All other mana rocks generate 2+ and combo with something.

>What's your favorite color identity?

Looking at my decks, it's GruulX, where X can be Naya or Temur. I have a Mina and Denn Secret Commander Angry Omnath, Temur Dragons, Mayael, I am in the process of making a Naya Infinite Combats deck, and once Ixalan hits I will be making Grishark, Sun's Avatar.

>>54873864
>Are there any decks you refuse to play against?

I'm not a fan of any Turn 3 or 4 "Infinite Combo, I win, gg even though you didn't get a chance to do anything". style decks. Especially that can consistently win on turn 2 or 3. That's fun for exactly one person at the table, and I hate watching people masturbate over how clever they think they are for netdecking an infinite combo.

Why not? They're both bounty counters. I don't see the problem.

The problem is that Mathas doesn't say "whenever a creature with a bounty counter dies, draw and gain life", the draw and lifegain is tied to his trigger where he puts the counter on a creature. So only his counters have that effect

I'll generally refuse to play a second game against storm. It's not an unfair win condition, but it is annoying. About half the time they fizzle out or get countered at a crucial point, but 100% of the time, they take 10 minutes to play through the interactions.

Jeskai commanders are even worse m8. Zedruu is a meme and Narset is for literal autists only.

Boros at least has something. Usable commanders are Aurelia (combo), Gisela (rdw/light stax), Depala (combo), Tajic (indestructible abuse) and Brion (mad timmy jank). Avacyn is a generic choice if nothing else fits. Kalemne was worth considering, but she's now completely overshadowed by shaniqua le keywords. Basandra and Iroas are generally overshadowed by Marchesa and Gahiji and are better in their 99s, if at all.

>>54874663
I find it hard to justify even Lightning Bolt in the 99, let alone a weaker one with some marginal filter effect embedded. If you have Sunforger out, your priority is to protect it, you don't need more draw/scry because Sunforger tutors you everything you need anyway.

So, in light of there finally being a legendary Mardu Knight (and the despair of it having nothing to do with Knights or Knight Tribal), I decided to take a crack at brewing up a Marchesa deck.

This is just a first pass, so it's entirely possible I missed some obvious stuff, but any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

(also, I know the mana base is fucked, this is just First Draft manabase of Shocks + Fetches + Duals + filler basics. Once I have the rest of the list more solidified, I'll look at what other lands I have handy and make a proper manabase)

It should, yeah, since it'll gain new 'instances' of the ability that you haven't activated yet.

Well, I was hoping there'd be a Mardu Knight (W/B would also be fine, but there's a FEW cool ones in Red, plus stuff like Kulrath Knight), so when I saw that Edgar was a Knight, I thought I'd build around him.

But he has zero interaction with other Knights. No tribal support at all. So really, he'd just be there for the colors and the theming, more than anything. So I decided that it's unlikely I'd get a second legendary Mardu Knight in the near future, and instead took "basically there for colors and theming" and went with Marchesa, because her ability is somewhat useful without diluting the deck with Vampires.

>>54875435
I have all those lands.
>>
>>54875284
With d6, I use however many are needed, but past like... 10 counters (or "this is 10 tokens" having dice on one token), I prefer using spindowns to not eat up the entire card with dice.

I'm still sort of confused, I've been watching youtube videos of people playing in tournaments and they all seem to be using just one dice. But what about a buff like pic related? I assume the one dice method is to represent a buff that is 1/1 or 2/2, but what if the T and P buffs aren't the same number? How do you use a single counter in that instance?
>>
>>54875782
These types of counters are pretty rare nowadays. Technically yes, they require distinction from other +(-)1/+(-)1 counters but the creature only lasts for one turn anyhow.
>>
>>54875771
My dude
>>
>>54875782
Generally when people use dice it's to represent +1/+1 counters. I've only seen people use dice to represent static buffs rarely, and when I'm working an event I'll directly direct them to not do that because it's confusing.

For Serpent, I'd ideally use dice that are a different color than the other ones I'm using. Or at the bare minimum, make it very, very clear that these are +1/+0 counters, not +1/+1 counters, the moment I put the dice down.

>>54875903
>>
>>54875884
Well the only way to get her out on turn 3 is a combination of mana ramp and lifegain for the reduction, realistically. Probably a mix.

Without using things like Crypt you'd need your turn 1 and turn 2 to either be ramp, things that'll gain you life for no mana on turn 3, or ramp AND something that gains you at least 2 life for 1 mana.

I don't think Turn 3 is reliable without heavy ramping.

Dude, fuck no. They'd have to shrink the shit out of her.

You at least have to TRY to gain some life with her as-is; if she was just RWB, she'd be a 7/7 first striker with lifelink on turn 3. That's insane. Especially because she's swinging for 10 on turn 4. And then for 12 on turn 5.

That would possibly be played in Legacy.

But why?

>>54875989
The problem with that is that'll cost you white mana to cast it.

So if you play Lone Missionary, you spend 1W to drop her cost to 1RWB, meaning you'd still need 6 mana AND missionary in hand on turn 3 to stick that.

So I'm thinking of tuning my cat deck into a 1v1 shitshow until Rivals of Ixalan releases and I can start converting the deck into Dinosaur Tribal.

Which of the cat Commanders would you guys suggest are best for a straight 1v1 beatdown and what are some inclusions you'd immediately make? Was thinking either Arahbo for simple attack boosts on flying and trampling cats or Mirri to make sure everything connects.
Alternatively, I suppose Nazzahn would make for an alright Voltron Commander.
>>
>>54876028
Because life is a resource in Commander. You can probably reliably drop her on turn 5, and maybe on turn 4 if you hyper-focus it. If it didn't have the "only on your turn" thing, then she'd be swinging for 19 the turn after you cast her (activate on your turn, B's turn, C's turn, D's turn, and your turn again for 15 counters).

What are some fun green fatty bombs that I can turbo-ramp into with Seton

>>54875884
Realistically, besides Zuran Orb and saccing all your lands, Ivory Tower is probably your best bet.

Animal Boneyard, Ayli, Consuming Vapors, Diamond Valley, Disciple of Griselbrand, Proper Burial.

These take more time and mana, but they do work.

Buffs and anthems should never use any kind of counter as they (usually) only stay for the turn or are only in effect with things on the board. The likelihood of forgetting to take them off when you're supposed to is much higher than remembering to look at your board to total up the p/t when it matters.

Not to mention the fact dice are traditionally used to represent counters, so a player might glance over and assume your creatures have COUNTERS, rather than that being a static buff, and make a play (or NOT make a play) with that in mind.

I knew a few kids who used dice on planeswalkers to display how many counters they had over their 'starting' loyalty, so someone attacked into a planeswalker on like... 6, thinking it was on 3.

There is no way to avoid this though, some of the best decks in the format rely on the commander (azami, tazri), and some don't (storm, Doomsday, hermit Druid), so any tier list is gonna have some commanders that just happen to be the best option for a very good deck, and not be inherently broken themselves

Except Kess actually adds to the Grixis storm game plan. Jeleva holds that place as well because of her ability to do something. The other Grixis commanders are Nekusar, who gives you some draw, but you already have enough that 5 mana and waiting for your next turn doesn't help, Marchesa and Sedris, you're not playing creatures, Thraximundar and Crosis, you're rarely attacking, Mishra, jank, Lord of Tresserhorn, jank, Garza Zol, jank. There's currently a discussion going on as to where Jeleva and Kess really belong. Is one flat out better than the other, in which case it will represent Grixis Storm in Tier 1? Or are they distinct enough with their own gameplans that they can both inhabit Tier 1. Either way, Nicol Bolas isn't going to be the representative for Grixis Storm.

"Scourge of the Throne" seems off-flavor, considering he'd be working FOR the Throne in a Marchesa deck. I like him in a Marchesa 1.0 (because those decks frequently have Dethrone online anyway, and it fits since she was vying FOR the throne). That's why I put in Skyline Despot (I think- if it's not on that list, it's supposed to be). It can reclaim the Monarchy, and rewards you for BEING the Monarch.

I don't even understand why play or discuss grixis storm, when you can play Zur or UBRg with Yidris, where Zur is a better ad naus deck because of W and Yidris is best for storm/doomsday as a commander as well as provides extra options for anti-stax faggotry because of G.

If I consistently win turn 3, it doesn't matter what the rest of the group will do, as they can't stop me unless they also run either equally fast combo or proper stax/control decks.

So technically, tiers do matter when there are multiple opponents, doesn't change that cEDH is a fucking meme though, for quite many reasons.

Biggest problem with cEDH though is that it often gives a stigma to top generals.

you can easily shut down a combo player if you include interactivity in your deck. if none of the other 3 players at the table are running answers to your problematic combos then it isn't really about your deck being competitive as much as it's about their decks being completely mishandled.

i could win every game if my opponents didn't run lands. not running interactivity isn't much different.

You're getting this from where?
an boring/annoying strategy =/= an unstoppable one
Sperglords who need to win for validation pick cEDH decks without realizing that this tier-list was constructed for consistency in 1v1 matchups and completely falls apart with the addition of one or more opposing hands of cards. This isn't to say that everyone who plays Zur/Narset/etc are like this.

It's the cunts that start the game with the unrealistic expectation of facerolling the group only to have their bubble burst and react in the most petulant of ways that turns people off from the commander.

tl;dr: The perceived aversion to the top tier commanders is due to shitty people, not their decks.

lots of whiney babies don't want to play important strategic cards. they want to play 5 color solitaire with huge creatures and no answers.

i play combo, midrange, jank, and tribal decks. my non-combo decks have ways to deal with combo. my combo deck can do amazing things but it can also get totally blown out really easily. that's the balance. combo often lacks resilience, variety, and stamina. if the combo gets stopped, hosed, or stalled out the combo player usually falls into an anemic state while the rest of the players develop more well rounded strategies and leave them behind.

all of this is from personal experience of course. my playgroup has a lot of very high caliber players.

What's your opinion on proxies in your playgroup? One guy in my playgroup is making Ur-Dragon deck when it comes out and he's gonna proxy every dual land, fetches and some shocks. I mean those are expensive I get but it seems like much.

Maybe I'm butthurt because I actually paid for the all fetches
>>
>>54878765

I'm okay with proxies so long as the power level of the deck stays at or below what your playgroup is at

Having a perfect mana base in 5 color dragons probably isn't broken unless the rest of your meta is on taplands only trash or something
>>
>>54878765
i'm okay with other people proxying whatever they want, but i wouldn't use them myself unless it's a card i'm waiting on in the mail or somesuch
>>
>>54878765
Play U/B counterspells/sacraments, dont let him play anything and exile all his combo pieces, he will leave the group or play a deck he can actually afford
>>
>>54878765
1. dual lands don't raise the quality of edh decks very much at all
2. proxying all the most powerful cards doesn't really fit the concept of a casual multiplayer singleton format
3. slowly upgrading your decks is part of what makes edh addicting
4. it is kind of a slap in the face to dedicated collectors who have spent time and money to get the same result

in my playgroup proxies are allowed but not high dollar cards and generally you're supposed to be doing it temporarily while you try and find an actual copy. as far as your friend is concerned he will probably end up with a better deck if he just focuses on synergies and building towards the meta rather than just shoving dual lands into his deck.
>>
>>54878765
No proxies in our group.
>>
>>54878765
Wanna test a deck before buying it so you have 100 forests with sharpie on it, sure

Want to test that deck for the 4th week in a row and you havent made an effort or get even one of those cards? Fuck you alex

If I was an evil mastermind secretly locking my mentor into a cage that would drain his power and drive him insane I'd endure the pain for a little. Why bother being a villain if you're not looking good while doing it?

Nobody said they always had it.
>>
>>54878765
Every time someone speaks out against proxies - he's the guy that owns non-proxies. Every time.
>>
>>54878765
We usually just allow them for playtesting. I myself hate proxies because most of them looks like complete shit, when they aren't just a mountain with a paper on it written Bayou or whatever. If you are going to order a proxy to play with it, at least order one of those high quality proxies that needs a lighttest, or bend test to identify.

Jace is meta confirmed alive, and in story he didn't get physically fucked up. Lili didn't even get touched. Nissa got out without too much harm. Gideon is the tank, he got stabbed in the chest but he's had worse. Chandra's the one who might actually be dead. She was a bit crushed when she 'walked away, she's in danger unless she gets medical attention wherever she shows up. Which of course, she will.

>running enchantment stax

Now, just for shits and giggles, I want to play the complete opposite of enchantment stax. I'm thinking of a big, stupid, craw-wurmtastic big green deck. Or maybe some fun RB shenanigans.

>running a proxy of a card that you have in another deck

woah woah woah. don't feel bad about that man. that's totally fine. you can't be assed to move cards between decks all day. my playgroup is unequivocally okay with that.

Yeah, that's not what happened here.
>Pain coursed through her body. Several of her ribs were broken. She groggily struggled to stand as she saw the sinuous form of Nicol Bolas weaving through the broken spurs, his agility mindboggling for someone that large. He swooped in and grabbed her in a huge claw.

She's got multiple broken ribs and is bleeding out.

t1 that land that produces ww cones in to play tapped with depletion counters
t2 mountain or swamp and amulet of permanent cone in to play untapped or "scent of Jasmine" girl
t3 depends but, sac girl and show a white hand or play actual scent of jasmines and show a white hand or play one of those lands that give you colors plus a life or just play the land you are missing, swing with life linker and get life with a shitty spell.

Wala, the order can be screwed with but you get the jist.
>>
>>54879231
All I'm saying is that if no one can't tell that the card is fake, it's not really hurting nobody.

Actually, I think that even Wizards may even be gaining profit from it. I believe that most people who buys proxy cards wouldn't cash out for the real cards, and if people are playing more and keeping LGSs alive because of that, there is a benefit hidden there.
>>
>>54879231
>>54879371
go away fake shit trader, because of you I can't trade my good shit for good shit anymore.

I have nothing against people playing proxies at all. I just want real shit in my cube and EDH decks and your shitty shit makes it harder for me to get what I want.

you are committing fraud just buy all the Chinese shit, you already have the cards so why trade them for real ones unless you are a shit person?
>>
>>54879514
>>
>>54879514
How do you know that you don't own a really good proxy card? Did you take all the cards you own from the boosters yourself? There are some proxies that even use the same kind of paper, so even if you teared the card up, you still wouldn't know if it was fake or not.

Also, that's beyond the point. I'm not telling people to trade their fakes for real cards. I'm talking about people selling fake cards, especially if they are cards that are low on the market because they are old or there is just a shortage of them.
>>
What's better?
Burgeoning or Exploration? Lets say you can only choose one. I believe exploration is better in the log run, but burgeoning gives you a big burst of mana if you get it on turn one
>>
>>54879621
Neither unless you have stupid amounts of card draw
>>
>>54879621
Depends on the deck, with really good card draw Burgeoning can get you more than one extra land a round, but if you've got Courser/Oracle then Exploration is better.

Otherwise they're about the same, I guess Exploration for getting the land on your turn.

Why are MtG players such walking (or barely walking) stereotypes? Every time I go in to a LGS to pick up some comics or just browse it's always filled with fat, greasy neckbeards wiping their pock marked foreheads on their shitty rock band T shirts. Long, unkempt hair or balding and complete autists. Can't even look someone in the eye or speak above a mumble.

Isn't it possible to just hit a few of these categories? You can be fat and greasy but at least have some clean clothes on. Or greasy and wearing rags but you can hold a conversation and walk up a flight of stairs without panting. Anything but the whole package. A store I used to go to literally had a set of rules on it's website that mentioned basic hygiene because the fucks that came would show up to play were so disgusting it needed to be officially addressed.

Every time I go in I'm reminded why I can't play this game with anyone but my playgroup. I get that this is America with the obesity epidemic and all but Jesus man. This is some "I gave up" level shit.
>>
>>54879804
depends on the LGS.
mine has a bunch of well dressed dudes and some normal people but yes we also have the sweaty greasy gross people.
>>
>>54879804
And the fucking smell. It's like a gym locker room filled with guys that have never set foot in a gym.
>>
>>54879728
wait
does scion get the abilities of all the dragons it copies or just the last one?
>>
>>54879804
i've done male modeling in my younger years and a lot of my edh friends are fairly normal looking guys. i think it really depends on the city you live in and the atmosphere that your LGS fosters. i've been to exclusionist hobby stores that scare away less dedicated customers and i totally understand why those places are the way they are.

there are still stereotypical nerds at my LGS too...and they coexist with everybody else pretty well, although yes, occasionally it still smells.
>>
>>54879728
Why not just skittles + moltensteel dragon?
>>
>>54879804
That just in burgerland, all the lgs's around here are asian kids with t1 modern decks and uni students

>i've been to exclusionist hobby stores that scare away less dedicated customers and i totally understand why those places are the way they are.

I don't. Why would they purposely exclude potential customers?
>>
>>54879933
consitant cashflow is my guess. If they disturb the grognards too much they lose that sweet cash over one monopoly sale.

>>54879899

>>54879882
just the last one

but the idea is you put the firebreathing ability of moltensteel dragon 6 times on the stack in between the change to skithiryx so that scion becomes a 10/4 infect in the end
>>
>>54879933
a lot of nerd cultures see newcomers and outsiders as being potential bullies who have come to laugh at their esoteric interests. there is a lot of insecurity around nerdy hobbies and this causes many players to stay in the shadows.

I have a friend who proxies Mana Crypt, Taiga, Mana Drain, anything. He doesn't care. All his decks are like $2000-$3000 decks. All proxy. It's turned our play group into a super competitive environment but has alienated one of my friends other friends who isn't into Magic as much. It was supposed to be more about getting them into magic since they couldn't afford to buy cards but now I'm trying to change that by not allowing proxies anymore. He doesn't seem to fond of it since all his decks will have to be radically changed.

Too true. My group literally stopped playing because one guy was doing this and absolutely ruining it for everyone. I get the desire to make your decks better but there's a balance to be struck here. Filling them with proxies or throwing thousands of dollars at this hobby will let you win. Magic is one of those games where you can spend your way to a win if your opponents don't match your cash or proxies and its a surefire way to ruin a group. If we're all here having fun with a certain level of deck power you can't walk in there with ridiculous combo decks that win in a few turns and then wonder why people aren't enjoying themselves anymore. Nothing wrong with combos and all that but it clearly isn't what we're going for here

When we started playing again it was over cockatrice (one guy moved away) and he started with the "let's use all the cards cause theyre free now!" Guess what happened this time
