Meet my wife.

She's pretty young and doesn't quite know where she fits in yet, but apparently she's uber gifted. She's a major figure in the community, something like a celebrity, so I can get a bit jealous due to the massive amount of attention she gets. However she's kind of afraid of just how crazy people get around her, she's so damn pure.

Friendly reminder that if anyone in your match has Bösium Strip, Corpse Dance etc. in their deck, you are cheating by reordering your graveyard simply because copying effects are possible e.g. with another person's Hive Mind.

Alternately, use the red version of this (Harmless gift or something like that, can't quite recall), tormod's crypt/bojuka bog, and have a pinger/bolt or something in case they have an instant to burn so they don't insta die. Combo works a tad better in RB for this reason

Voltron!

I'm building a GW Equipment Voltron deck around Mirri, and I could use some help. Taking a peak at what I have, I want to run a hatebears package with things like Hushwing Gryff, Grand Abolisher, Leonin Arbiter, and Linvala, but how many creatures are too many? Which should I prioritize?

Also, how many equipment should I run, and which equipment are the most fun? I'm so stoked to get to use my Jitte, but I've never really done an equipment voltron thing before.

I'm debating splashing black just so I can run Elbrus. Why couldn't his colour identity have been colourless? He's not REALLY black, you never pay black mana for him.

>>55422516
Teferi ult is its own infinite, similar to getting out a perfect stax lock. If you do it right they are fucked and have to scoop or watch you jerk off over the table with near infinite card selection from your jace harem, most people scoop after the ralzarek gets enough loyalty to ult though.

Me and a group of friends recently split the commander anthology and I got the Green/Black deck. I've been really enjoying it in group and 1v1 games and am interested in making a couple of other EDH decks.
Mostly I'm interested in making an Arjun deck, a Phenax deck, an Oona deck and a Mixxit deck.
Any recommendations of how much fun these are to play? I'll be using them 99% of the time casually with friends, two who've played for a while and enjoys playing almost always GW, one whos a heavy control player and then my other friend who's as new as I am.
Anything that'd match up well vs those archtypes would be nice because currently I either get rushed down or bullied with my current deck in group games.

I'm thinking of building my first mean deck. Something genuinely strong that can win against the whole table.

I want to do Saffi. They recently printed like 6 more cards that go infinite with her. Anyone play her? I don't want to try to make a strong, powerful deck that still loses despite being full of infinites.
>>
>>55423593
Honestly you're better off going with Karador instead of Saffi, if only just for the better sac outlets in Viscera Seer and Carrion Feeder and the wincons of Zulaport Cutthroat and Blood Artist. Saffi's in there as a part of your five or six shifting combos, but Karador is better at actually getting out the infinite win.

If something says you can only do it once each turn, and you do it once but then it leaves the battlefield and comes back, can you do it again?
>>
I want to make something Jund related and it be fun, should I try out Shattergang or Rek'Kuar?
>>
>>55424021
Yeah, it left the battlefield so it forgot it used the ability already
>>
>>55424021
Yes.
>>
>>55424045
So if I had the right deck and had Ramos, Deadeye (Or Displacer) and say... Soul of the Harvest, it would basically go infinite-ish right?
>>
>>55424043
Super Greenskin Bros are pretty unfun for everyone else. If that's what you like then go for it. If not I'd recommend Kresh because swing big creature dick.
>>
>>55424021
It needs to declare that "insert card name here" can only use this ability once this turn for it to be a hard OPT, shit that only says once per turn can be flickered, bounced or sacked and reanimated to get more uses out of it.
>>
>>55424053
Yes, flickering with Deadeye or Displacer would let Ramos use his Ritual again, assuming you can get the counters on him.
>>
>>55424053

Yes but remember Ramos will lose all +1/+1 counters whenever you blink him with Deadeye or Displacer so you have to make sure you have the spell colors to recharge him and the mana on-hand without his help.

You can also infinite with him using a Deadeye, a Soulfire Grandmaster and a Jund or Abzan Charm. The combo will +1 you on Green, Black or White mana with each cast of Jund and any color with Abzan. You can then use that for whatever you wish: Tendrils of Agony, Aetherflux Resevoir... whatever, really.
>>
>>55424043
The bros, having a sac outlet in your general zone is pretty nice.
>>
>>55424124
>>55424053

Also, a Paradox Engine, Dreamstone Hedron and Displacer will fuel your blinks as much as you need to free up all ten mana Ramos generates for casting spells. Also if you plan on Alpha Striking and have a Haste generator the Paradox Engine will deal with Ramos coming back tapped, too.

so i want to build an artifact deck for commander, considering Daretti as the commander what do you think, any suggestions?

Also how do you decide what cards to cut when you want to put something into your deck?
>>
what are good commanders that you let you durdle for ramp until you make super powerful plays that turn the board in your favor until someone kills you? would that be jhoira or riku?
>>
>>55424776

>durdle for ramp

Not sure exactly what you mean by this phrase but there are lots of decks that ramp and durdle for the first 4-5 turns before trying some explosive bullshit, Riku is one of them, jhoira I think of generally not needing too much ramp, rather preferring to be interactive while the bomb timers are ticking down
>>
>>55424776
Karametra is the most "durdle for ramp" commander I can think of.
>>
>>55424776
That'd be Maelstrom Wanderer.
>>
>>55424610

>how do you decide cuts

I like to have certain ratios or proportions in mind when I pile out a deck (or organize it by custom categories on tapped out). Ramp, card draw, removal, etc, and decide where I want my deck to sit. For something like daretti I want tons of ramp, all the mana rocks you can get, totalling like 15+, lands in the 30-33 range. Card draw you can go a little lower than other decks because daretti himself will be your main engine, so maybe like 6-8 card draw effects. As a red-colorless deck you'll want generally less spot removal and more mass removal, probably like 6-10 mass removal effects (including ugin and Other permanent based removal), 2-4 targeted removal

Then you can compare your totals to your desired ratio, if you have too much of one thing and not enough of another, you can cut the worst thing in the overabundant category for something you don't have in the lacking category

If all your key categories are at healthy numbers then the rest of your cards are what people tend to call "flex slots", and it's just up to you to mix and match your favorites in those spots
>>
>>55424802
a high risk, high reward kind of deck where i can make a big impact every turn. trade-off would be me leaving myself open to damage, or being totally disrupted by blowing up my rocks, or something

>>55419456
>What weird rules of the game do you regularly invoke?

That -1/-1 counters won't cancel out +1/+1 counters if it would kill the creature first. It's important for my marchesa deck, and almost everyone asks to look that up when I get hit by Black Sun Zenith.
>>
>>55419456
You're unable to shuffle your graveyard? As in, i must be kept in order like your library?
>>
>>55419456
>What weird rules of the game do you regularly invoke?

You have to announce that you're going to combat. Don't just turn your Thrax sideways during your main and say "I'm attacking you now!" Now that I know it's coming to me, you're damn right I'm gonna do something about it by responding to you going to combat.
>>
>>55424989
Yup. If you're in a format with graveyard order matters cards like Corpse Dance you have to maintain the order of cards in your graveyard. You can still look at it at any time, but you can't move cards around.
>>
>>55425023
Huh. That comes up so rarely I never really knew.
>>
>>55425044
3.13 Graveyard Order
In formats involving only cards from Urza’s Saga™ and later, players may change the order of their graveyard at any time. A player may not change the order of an opponent’s graveyard.
>>
>>55424776
Gay duo, literally gives you 2 land drops and 2 drawsteps.
>>
>>55425077
Ah alright. I figured that must be something old like ante's as I never see cards that interact with Gy order.
>>
If I cast divergent transformations and one of the two targets leaves play before it resolves, does it fizzle out or does it still go off targeting the first target?
>>
>>55425121
A spell only fizzles when it has no legal targets, so as long as one of the targeted creature's is still around during Divergent Transformation's resolution it will resolve. If a creature targeted leaves play or for any reason stops being a legal target nothing happens, all legal targets get exiled and replaced as normal.

>>55424981
How does that work with Skullbriar?
>>
>>55424545
Unfortunately for this specific angle Queen Marchesa is probably better, right? To be honest I have a hard time finding a niche for Mathas. He's a really cool card but he feels like a worse Queen Marchesa. I think the main difference mechanically is that an optimal Marchesa player actively prevents others from drawing, whereas Mathas player probably won't. Maybe the angle there is using draw hate type stuff like Nekusar...?

>>55425816
a good edhdeck is less about the commander and more about the playstyle and card-choice

so if youre running peregrine drake/palincron + deadeye nav in every single blue deck you wont get respect from me, but if you actually need to think in order to win then were getting somewhere

fuck infinite combos, fuck combo tutors, and fuck goodstuff
>>
>>55425883
Yeah but we're just talking about the general itself now. Obviously if it's just there for the colours it's meaningless.
>>
My neighbor gave me a pack of Champions of Kamigawa they found in their garage and I opened it and got jank.

Am I in the wrong?
>>
>>55425896
when it comes to that for me its all about synergy
you dont have to build around the general with every card but if the gen makes a certain card OP then id rather have that then another goodstuff card
>>
>>55425816
I think Queen Marchesa is a neat one. Pillow fort, aggro, control, stax, she can kind of go in any direction and still provide commander support.
>>
>>55425652
It remembers having both the -1/-1 and +1/+1 counters on it when it died. So you should be just as fucked as usual when you get more -1/-1s than he has toughness.
>>
>>55425967
does that mean if he gets hit with enough -1 he can not be played again?
>>
If I have a card with a Cumulative Upkeep and Solemnity on the field preventing it from generating any Time counters, can I still refuse to pay the upkeep cost and sacrifice it?
>>
>>55425997
You can cast him as often as you would like, but if he has 0 toughness he will die to SBA
>>
>>55425997
If someone slaps a -1/-1 counter on him the first time you play him he's out for the rest of the game unless you have anthem effects in your deck.
>>
>>55426004
I would think so, you just choose not to pay {0}
>>
>>55426046
Or Vigor Mortis, which a lot of Skullbriar decks play.
>>
>>55425913
Nope, you're in Kamigawa

>>55425967

Yes, that's what I meant.

Anyone else find the whole thing with "Secret/Hidden Commanders" really fucking stupid? It's a thing where you choose someone to be your commander, most of the time having a lot of colors, but one of the Legendary creatures in your 99 is the "true" general and the deck is built around them rather then who you actually chose for your commander.

I got a few commanders for cheap trade today, and I'm wondering if these are decent ideas on how to run them.

>Nebuchadnezzar - Land deprivation
>Tymaret - Stax/aristocrats
>Shattergang Bros. - Stax/aristocrats, might just run Tymaret in here
>Nu-Isperia - Baiting combat; lifegain and defensive instants galore
>Merieke Ri Berit - Tap/untap loops to steal everything
>Homura - Red midrange go-wide/mana rock ramp
>>
>>55426476
I think it's pretty stupid, but not building around the commander isn't the worst thing in the world.

Normally you see it for tribes that don't have a good commander in their colours (Why are there no Esper Zombie commanders?) or based around commanders who don't really need to do much to be helpful (Eminence Commanders, Oloro, Theros Gods).

Really most good stuff decks fall in this kind of thing, chances are one of the 99 is going to be the main part of winning with it.

>>55426596

These days when I build a deck, i usually have something in mind I want to do, and a color combination(s) I want, and then once that's established I try to match a commander to it. Sometimes there's isn't a commander that fits perfectly but that's okay, it's more important to me that the 99 is customized to my desires than it is for me to find a deck that already has the perfect commander.

I guess I just don't like building around commanders that much. What I like about commander is the color identity aspect, the singleton aspect, and I also like the card advantage of having a commander. I usually don't like building a singleton deck entirely around a single card though

It was fun and a lot more limited than you expect. Even JtMS wasn't that bad because he just got smacked off the table. Planeswalkers lose a lot of value after some command tax. Bolas was interesting, but again his cost was prohibitive. One game he was countered and never seen again.

Wanderwine prophets, archeomancer, deadeye. They got stuff. Giant wizard is aassive pain to deal with.
>>
>>55427480
>doubling Season
This was banned in PW decks for that reason in our group, though it really depended on the Walker. Most of the G Planeswalkers are fine with it, but this was also pre-bants tamiyo. Still, banned for stuff like RUG SarKhan and caller of beasts Garruk.

>boardwipes
They don't kill enemy walkers either. You really underestimate how vulnerable a Walker is in EDH, especially when someone knows its coming. One fat creature with boots sets the Walker black several turns, and shit like Lightning Bolt is a lot more powerful for the same reason.
>contagion engine
Requires a shitload of mana

All in all, it was fun, but we stopped because normal decks are better. Planeswalkers have the distinct weakness of no commander damage with a few exceptions like Gideon, but they're usually color limited to make up for it. We've actually been talking about a format where you pick a Planeswalker and your commander is all versions of that Walker, but they all share a commander tax and you couldn't cast it if you already had one on the table.

There's also the new one, too, but I wouldn't call then secret tech. Definitely going into the deck, though.

>>55427486
Wanderwine is interesting, though you'd need a flicker like Deadeye to keep it going. Deadeye is obviously stupid strong in the deck, though. Aerchaeomancer is a pet card, too. I usually use it with ghostly flicker and gilded lotus.
>>

Conspiracy wouldn't work for Allies. It fully overrides their type with the type you choose. If you choose Allies, you can't clone them with Inalla, and if you choose Wizard, they don't trigger Ally abilities.

The universe has a great sense of humor.

I've been to several different LGS to play EDH. And yeah, they look exactly as you'd expect. Not sure why people need to go for the entire stereotypical package but they do. Fat, greasy, smelly, long oily hair, bad teeth, stained clothes, and no social skills. I understand one can be poorly dressed and kinda socially awkward, but must you be literally everything on that list? One of the stores actually posted their official rules, one of which was warning players that they will be asked to leave if their odor is too strong.

They're just fuckin' weird. You have a weird hobby that weird people play. Time to find friends so you can avoid these types.

You would think that playing MTG doesn't make you stop giving a shit about your own body, but apparently not. The majority of people at my LGS are really overweight and a few are so fat that I'm almost embarrassed to be around them. They're breathing heavily while sitting down playing cards. When a spot in a pod opens up, they don't move because it's too much work for them.
>>

>>55428256
And the spots to play are often kinda cramped. Seems like a cruel joke. Last prerelease I went to literally had guys lifting their guts to move between seats.

>>
>>55428311
So he needed to leave his bag because it was more work to carry it to the store than to just leave it and come back for it after?
>>
>>55428341
His decks are always fucking trash so I think he wanted to scoop anyways. My theory is that he wanted to get a drink since he finished his giant Brisk so fast, saw the brownie mix while he was there, and his total lack of self-control kicked in and he had to immediately go home to consume like 3,000 calories.

It all dependa on people you hang with. Try your best to earn/get friends through meeting people with common interest and maybe learn them a litlle bit of commander . Have some newbie friendly decks, 4 of them, and when your friends come over to your place them, maybe see if they are interested in it. What happens, happens.
I am fortunate enough that most of people that i plat commander have good manners and are not really fat, aka not enough money for both good food or good cards. :)

Chad here. I think my locals are fucking mean to me because I'm not fucking hideous and they have this power trip going on where they have to be a dick because they were powerless fat losers in HS or something. I was never even mean to anyone in HS so it's not like they're getting sweet justice, just continuing a cycle of hate. So they're assholes just like their bullies, except they're weak and ugly physically.

Like, half the fun of a game is enjoying the company of your opponent I say. Banter and all that DBZ back and fourth shit are important. Some autist who just stares down at his field tapping shit and mumble-drooling his moves to me as fast as he can is the worst experience I can imagine.

Luckily, my brother and I have always loved YGO. I have Blue-Eyes and he has Ancient Gears and we play for hours on end when we both have the day off, but he doesn't really give a shit about MTG and like I said my only other friend is only available to hang out like once a week.

It's a big punch deck - sometimes you hit hard or don't hit at all. It has a problem with the mana-base but you can improve it cheaply. If you are playing against other pre-cons then don't worry at all

your going to need ~30-50 dollars extra to improve the mana base enough to actually use the deck. basically you will need one of every pain land and some of the cheaper shock lands

That's a lie. The deck is fine for a beginner and for casual play right out of the box, and a solid manabase can be created for cheap with copious green mana sources, rocks, and ramp spells.
>>
>>55430043
it really cant, the deck doesnt even have evolving wilds or terramorphic expanse ffs. dragons dont even win against other precons from 2017 out of the box. its jsut too slow and too easily mana screwed. you just cant have THAT many tap lands in a deck with an average CMC of like 5 and god forbid someone at your table kills your dragon once you spend 6 mana putting it out and essentially time walks you. at the VERY least you need to switch out some basics for pain lands and the evolving wilds and terramorphic expanse
>>
>>55429231
>3d printed garbage

>>55430087
Don't tell a new player to pick up pain lands. A mana base that's something like 20 Forest, 4 Mountain, 4 Island, 4 Swamp, 4 Plains, Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse, Myriad Landscape, Krosan Verge could work if you dedicate 15-20 deck slots to Rampant Growth-type effects.

why? they are the cheapest way to get your colors that dont come into play tapped with minimal downside due to it being commander and you having 40 life. after the first few turns you probably wont even be paying the life to get colored mana anyway if your adding other land fetch

No

>>55430123
Because new players just started playing, and might not be keen on picking up single cards yet. Remember, that anon hasn't even played yet - you're asking him to essentially double his buy-in price, which, if he doesn't like it, would end up being a waste of about $100.

Objectively wrong. Dragons and Vamps are strongest out of the box, but cats has explosive potential/hatebears, and wizards is just a bunch of good reprints.

Seriously, throw in some signets, a few of the cheaper duals, and some shocks, then you're in good shape. If you're really lucky run mana fixing dudes like Sakura Tribe Elder and Cultivate/Kodamas with a green focus.
>>
>>55430158
so tell him to pick up different singles is somehow better than the objectively best and cheapest way to make his deck function? fuck off
>>
>>55430158
>if he doesn't like it
A good way to make someone not like to play magic is to have them use a really shitty deck, so doing something like this is hurting more than helping.

Second off, as long he uses sleeves he can resell the painlands and other good pieces of manabase for literally what he bought them at.
>>
>>55430187
we had commander day one release where everyone had to use a vanilla precon and dragons won a single game over the entire 12 hour game day, every single other deck won more. dragons is slow and shit out of the box

Bullshit. I've never seen an LGS give any more than half value in trade credit, or 1/5 value in cash, and online sales involve shipping. I've never seen anyone make back the money they put in this game when they quit.

that retardation aside its not even like the pain lands are expensive, you take out brushland and adarkar wastes and you can pick up one of ever other pain land for like 10 dollars total

>>55430043
Did you even play the Dragons out of the box? It's unplayable garbage. I spent the first 7 turns just building up mana to summon the first actual threat, when the vampire player was already dominating the whole board.

And if anyone else in the whole table has any kind of land hate, get ready to not cast your commander ever. Or even cast anything, since there are too many cards that requires doubles of a mana type, one of the earliest drops, Scourge of Valkas requires 3 fucking red.

>>55430187
I don't think dragons has any chance against any other precon deck except for wizards, since it has the worst gameplan. Unless of course, people pity you so much that you can go until turn 8 or 9 without much on the board, and then hope that your single drop per turn doesn't get killed.

any suggestions for my Neheb deck? I'm happy with it runs so far but it has some obvious upgrade listed in the maybeboard. Looking for better mana sinks and card draw anyone knows of

The best way is to trade with other players. There is always new players that needs painlands because they don't want to expend a lot of money on manabase.

Then you probably only know idiots that buy shit for non-eternal formats. If you spend 3k on reserve list cards, play with them double sleeved and on playmats you will get more than 3k when you are done. If you spend your money on shit like baneslayer and hazoret, don't be surprised when you lose more than 50% of your value after a couple of years.

>>
>>55430348
the same as when someone buys a video game, doesnt like it, and feels like they wasted their money one it. google a way to sell it. if he didnt like the deck out of the box he wont make his money back anyway as the singles are not worth the price of the sealed product (yes i know that all the singles would add up to more but good luck selling 90% of the deck)
>>
>>55430356
outside of a card being reprinted if you cant make your money back and then some when you sell your modern cards you are a complete fucking moron
>>
>>55430348
Is this how the new generation is? You have google, one of the best inventions of all time. In this day and age, it is almost unexcusable to not know something that you wanted to know if you had the time to google it.
>>
>>55430257
My LGS just gives Cardkingdom buy prices in store credit, which is pretty decent. They will even give CK sale prices in store credit on fetchlands and shocklands.
>>
>>55430356
Unless the guy is desperate to sell everything and is selling it all in a huge batch, or the guy just made bad buying decisions, he shouldn't lose money at all, especially since the good cards just increase in value(except for a couple cards that are being reprinted a shitton of times).
>>

so what i'm getting is that it needs upgrades out of the box (which is to be expected). checking prices the set comes to $55 CAD +
tax(i'm in canada, yeah). I'd be willing to put in a little more to make it playable, but what exactly would i need and how much would it cost?
>>
>>55430759
>so what i'm getting is that it needs upgrades out of the box
Depends on what are you playing against Anon. If your friends gonna use pre-cons decks or very newbie-friendly decks then you don't have to buy anything - just give this deck a try.
>>
>>55430759
you need an evolving wilds and terramorphic expanse which 30 cents, some of the cheaper pain lands (google it) which are all like 1-2 dollars, and some signets (google boros signet for an example) which are all like 50 cents each. buy them off TCGplayer. you will be prioritising red black and green so base your buys off of that. do be aware that different printings have different values on some cards so dont just buy the first thing that comes up in google, actually put the card into the search bar on TCGplayer to see all the printings

protip: buy lightly played or moderately played cards for cheaper costs
>>
>>55430759
It all depends on your playgroup, it's kinda the pro/con of the format.
If fast mana is a problem in your group every deck is gonna be spending loads on lands and mana dorks alone.
If your group is more laid back you can take it easy on manabase and splurge on big flashy cards with fun effects.

As for creatures, Hellkite Tyrant is a really good one, since it can steal your opponents mana rocks. Also you might want to tone down the big guys, and put in some early threats.

For artifacts, get the signets, and if possible, Chromatic Lantern, it is stupidly good in the deck. Stuff like Quicksilver Amulet is very strong too.

As for lands, aside from fetches and shocklands, you can get painlands, and other types of painlands, like mana confluence. Cascading Cataracts and Exotic Orchard can also fix your mana at a cents cost.

Some of the choices came down to "Jank I've had laying around and wanted to try out". But regarding the Planeswalkers:

>Nicol Bolas: If my commander has Grixis colors I run a Nicky B because he's Nicky B. Also, his +2 mills, gets you free stuff and charges Ramos so it's perfect. His +1 and Ultimate are nothing to scoff at, either.
>Sorin: His +1 is card advantage and has the potential to nuke each opponent for 10 if Progenitus is pulled.
>Nissa: She's teetering towards getting chopped but I look at her as a 3CMC Scry 2 machine. Her 0 ability can become useful if she stays up long enough, too.
>Narset: Rebounding anything you want is just fantastic.
>Ajani: Three free +1/+1 counts on Ramos a turn, dig through the top of your deck and an wincon with Aetherflux Resevoir
>Tamiyo: Teetering on the chopping block, but triple charge from casting her, her +1 can produce great card advantage in Commander in the right situation and her Emblem is fantastic.

I like Miku, what can I say.

There's one guy at one of my LGSs that has an Ikkitousen playmat that has multiple semi-nip slips on it. That doesn't bug me but what bugs me is that he doesn't even know what it's from.
