EDH/Commander General /edhg/

>>55292927
I conceded before allowing a trigger that required me being in the game to resolve.

The last time I played with my friends, everyone had enough clones or originals of tax cards, such as Augustine or Spelltithe Enforcer to cancel one another out, but after the second Augustine I couldn't cast.
A few turns in, I couldn't cast Fog unless I paid an additional six and/or sacrificed three permanents of some sort.

>>55292927
>What's the most spiteful play you've ever made?

not really spiteful, just took over a guys zurgo and killed him with it, resulting in him sperging out and kept mumbling about blue being a shit color and focusing me the next game

Vampiric tutoring a notion thief with senseis top in play and enough mana to cast when my friend dropped the last card in his hand being Sandstone Oracle.

dude running Circu again.

I'm reading up on U/B storm but people are saying to splash Red or Green for storm effects, but I can't find any commanders that help me mill in Grixis, and if I was gonna splash blue in Sultai I'd just turn my Jarad deck into Sidisi. Besides I want to mill others to death not myself.

What do you guys think, big dick it with Circu because I love the fucker to death, or am I actually missing out on huge storm potential.

>>55293224
>Splash blue in Sultai
I meant Golgari.

Made this mogis deck once that just boardwiped every turn and had every earthquake effect ever to deal tons of damage to everybody

Had to take it apart after too many games where I was dead on board so I nuked everybody with earthquakes and it ended in a tie

>>55293061
I actually think someone was just fucking with them and posted some c17. I didn't see Decree of Pain, Crucible of Fire and Apprentice Necromancer, and I was autistically refreshing reddit and twitter hashtags. Unless they have some insider info it looks that way.

>>55293256
Rosheen did that a lot. Still don't know if tying the game if you are gonna lose is kosher.

>>55293271
Gotcha.
Well, sucks if so for necro and Kiki, but glad I won't end up pulling decree, crucible, or apprentice.
With dragons being "iconic" I can unfortunately see crucible being in, though.

Well, we don't know if they are for sure not in there, There is just no proof currently. If noone posted those anywhere, that probably means whatever the 5 missing cards are, they aren't that good or expensive.

>>55292927
I had a game with Teeg once and I had that kid playing Sydri constantly trying to remove him, while having Teeg on board was absolutely crucial to prevent our combo players from going off. I couldn't do anything in terms of attack damage and tried to convey my idea to him to be pummeled to death with his sphinxes the next turn. Then the combo happened and he lost.

Next game I had an exhumed It That Betrays maul him to death

If he weren't mono-black he'd be a fun commander of a Vehicle deck. Like a reverse Voltron where instead of being the sole wielder of a bunch of equipment instead he's the sole pilot of a bunch of vehicles that you keep untapping him in order to crew.

>>55294146
Kamigawa was cool in a lot of ways, but it also focused so much on tribal that there weren't any of the unique kinds of odds-and-ends cards that flesh out a setting beyond its core themes. Add the facts that the non-Spirit tribal archetypes tended to be extremely narrow, that there was a serious bloat of Legends, and that it was the first set to diverge dramatically from a story that was in the very least related to Dominaria, I can see why people have a lot of contempt for it. For a lot of people who dislike modern Magic, it was quite literally the beginning of the end.

Lorwyn was cool, but at the same time it came out a lot of the casual groups I played with where we tried out weird and strange decks rather than efficient ones kind of went "pro"-deck crazy. The set itself was awesome, but the kind of fun I was having kind of died out there, so I do have at least a little contempt for it.

IMO I hate all mana rocks that make as much or more mana than they cost to cast.
Things like Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, and Mana Vault Basalt Monolith and Grim Monolith are also in the list, just because of their abuse potential being so high.
Fast mana makes the game pretty unbalanced purely on virtue of whether or not you got your fast mana in your opening hand, plus they take up slots in literally every deck that could be used for other cards that work towards your strat. I say this because there is literally no deck in existence that doesn't run fast mana that wouldn't be made better by inclusion of fast mana.

same, which is why I print proxies and slowly purchase the cards over time
but i'm not gay enough to print super competitive decks, I just play a commander I think looks fun

>>55296546
I don't know why I read that as "7 color commander."

I understand the usage of rocks of all sorts, it's just basically all of what >>55296453 said.
They make decks better rather than funneling into a theme, which, to me, is less rewarding than adding more theme pieces. But, don't take my word for it, I'm kitchen table casual.

Land ramp is totally fine, though.

>>55296546
Mana rocks, like Signets, Keystones, etc, are fine to me since they don't give you as much or more mana instantly the turn they're played.
Signets are a bit on the line since they give you +1 mana after the first turn, but any other mana rock is typically 3 mana to cast for +1 mana every turn after.
I'm saying I hate mana rocks that give you the full investment or more back that same turn, because they also tend to give more mana than comparable mana rocks later. Sol Ring and Mana Crypt give +2 mana every turn for example.

>>55296453
I leave worn powerstone, sol ring, and gilded lotus as still playables since theyre gilded and worn are fair for their cost and sol ring is the edh staple card every player should own

I also refuse to play eldrazi, karn/ugin, extra turn cards, or medalions

>>55296546
rock that give less then what it costs to get them out are fine, its when you toss thran dynamo, grim monolith, mana crypt, basalt monolith, ancient tomb, temple of the false god, mana vault, sol ring, gilded lotus, and worn powerstone into every single deck you make because they just WORK in every single deck is when it becomes dirty

So it's not just where I've been; the community is shit elsewhere, too.

How do spells like Turn to Frog interact with cards like Worldliness Wurm or Blightsteel Collosus? If you turn them into a frog and kill them, do they enter the grave as a frog, thus losing their enter the grave abilities?

Fair enough, I'd say go with either Damia, Anafenza or Marchesa if you can.

Black produces a fuck ton of Zombies, White Produces a wide variety of stuff, but WR is what you really want because of Assemble.

>>55298070
So Mardu Stax? What would be a gokd commander for that? Or should I add blue for shit like Energy Flux, Pendrell Mists, and Mana Vortex?

>>55298070
>>55298088

And Teysa, Teysa will just shit out Spirit tokens.

>>55298021
>Any cheaper way to shit out tokens?

Anointed Procession and Parallel Lives

>>55297991
Assemble the Legion keeps up with it on its own. Even just playing Assemble a turn earlier than Descent puts you up a token every turn.
>>55298021
Annointed Procession stays in white. Parallel Lives is a cheaper Doubling Season for purely token strategies.
If you really don't want to branch out from black, there's Endrek Sahr, Bitterblossom, Ophiomancer. You also get Grave Pact/Dictate of Erebos/Butcher of Malakir if you want to be real oppressive.
White gives you tons of token makers, and a fourth Grave Pact via Martyr's Bond.
BW is a great base for token decks. I recommend Teysa, Orzhov Scion if you just want to stick with those. You can splash colors too if you want. Green lets you run Ghave. Red gives you Edgar.

>>55298122
I like Endrek Sahr, Teysa, Ravos/Akri, Ghave, Ravos/Ludevic, and Ravos/Tana.

If I were the guy you did that to I'd just carry on like you were there because you were being a big baby, and kind of a faggot. Scooping isn't an ability and can't be done in response to ruin big plays out of spite.

>>55298261
Yeah, anytime someone tries to scoop maliciously, we just ignore it. It's a dick move, and frequently, the person who did it will get targeted the next game for annoying effects.

>>55298435
Blue Braids

I’ve been playing Magic form something over a year. Mostly standard and some modern and I would like to get into commander.So I’ve been thinking about buying one of the prebuild commander decks. Theese are the ones I’ve been thinking about (I have about 15- 30 good ards for each of them :
Freyalise from ommander 2014 (thinking about changing this one into Yisan deck)
Mizzix from Commander 2015
Vampires from Commander 2017
Wizards from Commander 2017
My question is which one of them, would be in your opinion, easiest/cheapest/most fun to turn into proper deck?

Fucked up my formating, the Ryusei boardwipe was to get Meren back and before I realized I would win next turn

>>55298751
do you just scoop to counterspell?

>>55298914
Nah, I then start swinging with Commander and using Price of Knowledge for more damage. Basically the deck's purpose is to just sit and not do anything except when I absolutely have to.

I also have a Borborygmos Enraged deck with 99 lands for the same reason.

>>55298763
Straight up Regrowth.
Regrowth effects like Creeping Corrosion could also be good, especially since you're married to a card type where all of them get destroyed at once often.
Greenwarden of Mirada is Eternal Witness's big brother.

>>55298751
>no dark ritual

The best games are those that come down to the wire. Portal mage only redirects a single attacker? Maybe that was enough to finish you off anyway though.

>>55299023
>DEPENDS

>>55299030
I was at 8 and Inalla was basically untouched due to the pact they made. All the dragons had double strike. I had no blockers. It no doubt was a great play, but that doesn't mean I can't be mad at the Ur player for taking the bait swinging out.

Hello dudes,

I want to make a pure eldrazi deck - but with maybe a green and (blue or black) commander. Who would be ideal for this that thematically matches eldrazi?

>>55299091
I'm still disappointed that one of the tribal commander decks wasn't five color Eldrazi.

>>55299091
Kruphix all the way, or animar if you can afford it.

>>55299091
I know it's not what you asked for, but in Blue and Black there's Vela the Night Clad - her shared intimidate means your Eldrazi can only be blocked by other colourless creatures, which is neat.

>>55299156
That is interesting actually.
I definitely need red, blue, and green, and black is ideal. White is not necessary but whatever.

I was thinking maybe Ramos. He doesn't have the best synergy but he himself is colorless while allowing me to run any colour I want. Thoughts?
>>55299134
Same, I know not everyone likes eldrazi but they are my favorites tribe by far.

I haven't played since zendikar and I sold all my cards. Are any of the precon decks under $50 any good?

>>55299425
just don't buy saskia

>>55299457
Saskia technically has the most value out of all of the C16 precons.

>>55299134
>>55299409

Kozilek, the Withering Lie {CCCCCCCCCC}
Legendary Creature - Eldrazi Processor
You may pay WUBRG rather than pay the cost for this spell.
Eldrazi you control gain "Creatures you control gain ingest (multiple instances of ingest on one creature trigger separately)"
Put three cards an opponent owns from exile into the graveyard: Create a 2/2 colorless Eldrazi Drone creature token with "Creatures you control gain ingest"
8/8

>>55299469
>>55299457
Not him, but Saskia looks mildly interesting. I never see anyone pick up the deck, and all of the partner commanders in the deck look fun. I don't run aggro often, but would the deck still be worth getting?

>>55299492
Its a fun deck. You want lots of nasty creatures that do nasty things.

Saskia with Infect stuff is probably the meanest I've seen it.

>>55299505
If I get the precon, what other stuff should I pick up? Should I focus on creatures, or go with a tokens+stax strategy?

>>55299492
Saskia is fine, she just gets overshadowed by the ridiculousness of Atraxa and Breya, and the high-value reprints for Yidris.

>>55299537
I usually see Yidris, Saskia, and Meletis available around here. What kind of playstyles do the commanders, the partners, and the cards in the precon each lend themselves to?

Just came back from fnm and got myself the wizards deck.

Im still bent on which commander to play. Kess feels like the safest one but the other 2 look so much fun to build around.

Help me here which one is the cheapest to build up?

>>55299551
Yidris has a lot of single high-value cards in contrast to the other precons, which have value spread out more evenly amongst cards. Vial Smasher, Thrasios, Chromatic Lantern, Past in Flames, Reliquary Tower, Burgeoning, Waste Not, Wheel of Fate, and Reforge the Soul are what you'd primarily buy the deck for.

Personally, I found this year's commander decks rather disappointing in what tribes they picked. I was really hoping they were going to do, like... Five Color Dragons, Slivers, Eldrazi, and Allies.

>>55299581
>Chromatic Lantern
Why this wasn't in every fucking deck that year, I will never understand. The deck builders were retarded.

>>55299583

I've focused that guy to some extent in every match I've played with him since then, nothing irks me more than when someone bugs someone to do something just so they can counter/steal it. also fuck Mizzix players.

>>55299561
>Kess
Most expensive to go full-in with, only one viable in cEDH. To build decently, just run spellslinging Grixis goodstuff, with some flicker effects for multiple recasts in one turn. Can actually be pretty cheap to build around. Notable inclusions: Secrets of the Dead, wheel effects, Increasing Vengeance, (Get that double-copy for only 2 mana? Yes, please!) and buyback spells (cast them early on without buyback, then Kess them back later when you can afford to buyback. Repeat as needed.)

>Inalla
Medium in all ways - Eminence means that even a 5-drop commander can have relevance without hitting the field. There are lots of wizards with value ETB/LTB/tap effects that you can easily clone, and sac outlets are useful as well. Also pretty cheap to build around, but some important/powerful cards are a bit pricey. Notable inclusions: Panharmonicon, Victimize, Phyrexian Reclamation, and flicker effects.

>Mairsil
Jankiest of the three, but can do some crazy shit. Like the other two, flickering is important, but it's the easiest of the three (Aetherling). You might also want some ways to bounce him to avoid removal (Grinning Ignis and Ephemeron come to mind). Pretty much just find activated effects that you want to mix, run some self-mill and plenty of ramprocks, and go to town.

>>55299561
Mairsil was almost dirt cheap.
The most expensive cards I have in there outside of the manabase are Chromatic Lantern, Sensei's D, Eater of the Dead and Phyrexian Devourer (expensiveish because old as shit), and Kozilek, the Great D.

How do you deal with winning too much guys? I play with mostly 3-5 casual players and I'm sadly much better then them, which means 90% of the time I can win. At this point I can feel it would be annoying for them so what's some easy ways to gimp myself without having to play like an idiot?

>>55299684
Play a Janky deck? Everyone has their competitive fuck you deck and a for fun jankmax deck for newbies.

>>55299684
Vorosh Counter tribal.

>>55299684
what commanders do you play?
do you go for combos?

the main thing I do to gimp myself is play less cards that can win the game on their own and more cards that generate small, incremental value. like a while ago I took an avenger of zendikar out of one of my decks and replaced it with a verdant force. it gives the other players more room to breathe and makes winning more satisfying because I have to really use everything I got.

>>55299134
>>55299409
>>55299484
>>55299521
I think that a much more likely outcome than making a 5c Eldrazi would be an Eternal Pilgrim, like Ayli, who is 5c with Eldrazi support elements. The reason they couldn't do something like that in the C17 decks was because of cards like Path of Ancestry.

>>55299711
These guys are really bad, even my janky decks don't help them win and then one of them gets upset when some stupid thing they could've stopped easily kills them.

>>55299718
Actually sounds kinda fun.

>>55299751
The main commanders I use are probably either Daxos or Ezuri. I like to focus mostly on having lots of little guys and then waiting until I can super buff everything for the win. They all fucking hate Ezuri.

>>55299787
I've though about that, but I do like being able to win. Really want to have to work for it but maybe something that's group hug with a few alternate wincons would be fun.

>>55299807
I tried this with Arcanus the Omnipotent, they did not enjoy heavy counter spells.

>>55299822
I'm open to ideas. At this point I'm feeling like maybe Balan or Zergo with no other creatures might be interesting.

Does Mairsil only work on the field, or can he do things like steal Reassembling Skeleton's revival?

can I play Izzet without being an insane storm/wheels deck

>>55299845
>I'm open to ideas.
Probably some of the Boros decks, like Kalemne, who aren't abusing either MLD or Sunforger. Janky, undersupported Tribal like Skeletons or Werewolves. Something kind of Stormy, but weak to removal or sweepers, like Zada.

>>55299845
Don't use counterspells or land destruction. Use removal. React to what they play. Don't deny them the game, but deny them advantage.

>>55299850
Only on the battlefield.

Question: I'm trying to crown my hope of ghirapur Commander deck. unfortunately the full art wastes and lands I'm using are either notoriously difficult to get foils of ($10 pop for a foil bismuth waste) or foils don't exist (myriad landscape, arcane lighthouse, ect.)
So my question is this, What would be an acceptable replacement for these cards? Have someone alter them to have more flair and filigree?

>>55300482
First off, talking like a fag and having a gaudy deck won't make you anymore popular.

Where do you play your commander games? Cockatrice? Magic the Gathering Online?
I'd love an online matchmaking system, with victory and losses tracking and eventual judging for rulings like the old Dueling Network (i doubt there are any automatic magic simulators like Magic Online, right?)

>>55300790
cockatrice is fast as fuck and pretty clean once you get use to it, no waiting for shitty animations just straight up, even my garbage toaster can run it smoothly

untap is fucking trash

>>55300790
xMage

Basically free MTGO.

>>55300790
In person. But Cockatrice for online even though I don't use it that much anymore.

>>55300812
>Basically free MTGO
And with that, all the bad things about MTGO as well.

Ashling's Prerogative in Omnath, Locus of Rage deck, Y/N?
I would obviously choose even to make all the tokens gain haste, and if I'm able to play Amulet of Vigor even the creatures I play with odd cmc would enter untapped anyway

>>55300960
I am sad that there is no naya or bant human tribal commander

>>55300989
It's a neat tech card, only slightly more expensive than Mass Hysteria but only half as dangerous and a bit more controlling.
However for one more mana you could simply play Fervor.

>>55300960
As stupid as it sounds, X cost spells to deal 1 damage to a number of your own creatures isn't the worst thing in the world.

>>55300960
You know that card Zada, Hedron Grinder?

Well, this is her (kind of), but included with white.

>>55301057
Except Zada is much better.

I want to make a 5 color deck. Should I make Atogatog? He seems like a fun theme to build around, saccing everything in response to blocks and whatnot. Or Cromat? I want it to have an actual fun theme of basically anything but just goodstuff.

>>55301259
Build progenitus god tribal, it's basically a 5 color enchantress deck but with gods

>>55301225
Well of course, it's Zada.

It's just that I'd go the same way of building a Anax and Cymede deck, as I'd build her.

Tonnes of cheap 1 or 2 drop buffs, and then a extra turn spells.

>>55298099
Queen is 'okay' for tokens, Alesha is also good for reanimating token producers and enchantment recovery.

>>55300044
Horobi is probably the most /fa/ black kamigawa spirit.

>>55300338
They don't technically lose simultaneously with damage, the life totals are checked in reverse turn order, with the active player being the last man standing. That ruling refers to other conditions that would make each player lose the game together.

>>55301433
Someone has taught you some wonky bullshit. I don't know that it ever worked the way you're thinking and the rules were updated or something, but currently, whenever state-based actions are checked, the very first state-based action is checking if a player has 0 or less life, and then if any do, each of those players simultaneously lose the game.

>>55301433
Losing the game due to negative life is a state based action, if all players lose during the same state check, which would be the case here, it's a tie.

>>55296685
>suiciding to take out one person
>instead of not dumping all his life and still be part of the match
He did plenty wrong, macho man

>>55301473
>>55301478
Interestingly enough, there's a cute interaction where someone getting poisoned to death thanks to Phyrexian Unlife would win if everyone else died to having 0 or less life from the same damage, because dying to poison comes later in the list of state-based actions.

It's similar to how a creature with Undying will die to Black Sun's Zenith and not come back simply because the state-based action for killing a creature with 0 or less toughness happens before the state-based action where +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters negate each other.

>>55299845
This is the garbage fire I built when I was starting out. Though it is quite different outside of the skeletons these days.
Make something that thematically pleases you or that brings you joy just to play with. Then slowly tune it up as needed.

One sided board wipe. You can recover from major loss of life in more situations than watching your board state vanish.

Low print run and $10 packs mean that it won't crash the prices. The prices will decrease slightly though. Damnation definitely did after MM17

>>55301848
>$10 a pack

dont get me wrong im glad for some reprints but the $10 a pack price tag basically makes it to where no prices will ever go down a meaningful amount

>>55301766
>dinosaur knight
My big problem with this card is that six mana for these effects just feels bad. The +2 probably won't help all that much, but it does feed into the -3. The -7 seems pretty bad even in tribal, considering few dinosaurs get trample naturally.

>warrior poet
Again, mostly just overcosted for these effects. The +2 is absolute garbage in any format. The 0 is alright, but I don't think it's worth five mana to make a 3/3 with trample every turn. The -X is useful, but I don't think you'll be able to hit enough potential blockers with it for it to be all that useful.

I just don't see the worth in playing enither version of Huatli, but if you intend to run her for Vorthos purposes, I get it.

>>55301882

>gofy going down
>fucking snapcaster going down

Look at the graphs before you just start saying shit.

>>55301924
Based on previous Masters sets it seems that rares go down in price but mythics won't even be effected. I'm just interested in seeing the price of this new nonfoil Mana Drain.

>>55301926
Have you seen the lands for it yet?
I'm buying at least two boosters since I've been looking to get into modern anyways.

>>55301931
Yeah, that's sure to last before they both go way the fuck up again due to increased demand outstripping supply.

>>55301924
who is actually going to open these packs? i don't see that many staples for formats besides commander. maybe thoughtseize and cryptic command, but that's about it.

seems like 10 dollars for a booster is too much

maybe it'll still get bought out because magic players are bad with money, idk

What the fuck are you talking about? Every set is volatile to open and you're always guaranteed to open shite rares eventually. I'll open packs with Vial, Cryptic, AV, Thoughtseize, Canopy and Grove in the rare slot, all day long. And don't forget there are good cards at lower rarity too. Even if your rare is bulk crap, you still have a chance at decent uncommons to help. And don't ignore guaranteed foils in every pack.

Making a Marath, Will of the Wild deck, budgets about 100, any suggestions?

How does Mairsil work with the Licids guys?

>>55302357
He attaches as an aura and stops being a creature, but doesn't affect the enchanted creature in any way.

>>55302365
Can you still use the ability that ends the effect? Could lead to some stupid tricks if you can

>>55302404
Yep. It's a pretty neat thing.

>>55302198
The full art lands are from Unstable, amigo

another jank king Mairsil question guys. If I cage Dragon Arch with Mairsil, activate that ability, then respond to it by returning Mairsil to my hand, can I effectively blink Mairsil?

Also the once per turn rule, how do I work around it? Quicksilver Elemental works right? If I blink Mairsil does it get around the ability?

Some of the cards in my EDH deck are double-sleeved and some of them aren't. The ones that are aren't really notable in worth, maybe foils, cards I like, etc.

Out of curiosity, who here would lose their shit over that sort of inconsistency? Who'd think I was cheating? What about in a casual, semi-comp, competitive environment?

Am I being paranoid because Standard has left a stain on me?

>>55305516
If you ever play competitive EDH you should shoot yourself, and after that you should change to consistent sleeving.

If not, do whatever you want until some autist accuses you of cheating then just pay $5 for some perfect fits
