Goblins are not fuckable, piss off pedos.

>>96009778
The former, rather. The later I have no idea.

>>96009779
Low test post.

Is this the hottest goblin we have? Kreat is the only other I can think of that compares.

Goblins are very fuckable.

>>96009779
Hard disagree.

>>96009835
Hard agree.

Do you think vehicles + planets/spaceships will make Macar good?

Dihada, I’ve won most of the games I’ve played with her, but have recently decided it’s time to retire her for Jodah with all the legends shit I’ve pulled since I’ve started. Though honestly I could probably just keep both with how few cards each list share, would just have to order some more cards.

>here comes the ai dumps

>>96009783
>to cross swords with her is a shockingly bad idea
>her
Flavor text would imply she's female. Or its implying a different kind of sword crossing.

Goblins are sexy
Thanks for derailing this thread

>>96009779
But they have huge tits and wide hips how am I a pedo

>So Jay, what did you think of Star Trek commander decks?

>>96009912
What decks would Mike play?

Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)

>>96009916
picard tribal

Does Startrek have any goblins?

>>96009916
Dunno, is there a commander that's canonically an alcoholic or a washed up loser?

Let's be real he would play one of the versions of Blackwashed Aragorn because he's woke af

This retard really samefagging hard about goblins hih

UB Cosmere when?

>>96009964
What's cosmere

Goddamn early thread makers.

>>96008950
These are just things Hasbro has or had rights to, making them the strongest candidates for Secret Lairs. Full UB sets, thus far, they seem to negotiate bespoke agreements with other companies for.
>>96008964
I mean probably. It's likely to be a Secret Lair drop sooner or later, as is Minecraft.
>>96008966
What the fuck would you want on Sesame Street cards?
Also canonically The Count is not a vampire, so you're screwed there. They'd probably have to have a muppet creature type or something. Are Sesame Street characters muppets? I don't even know anymore.

>>96009966
shitty marvel books

>>96009966
The creation of a trve and honest Magic fan

>>96009969
>What the fuck would you want on Sesame Street cards
I think it would be amusing.
Count can be a vampire despite what you said
Ernie and Bert have partner with and are Boros
Cookie monster cares about food tokens
Oscar the grouch cares about junk tokens
Elmo has a show and tell ability

I dunno man, sounds fun to me

>>96009966
Mormon slop

>he doesn't like goblins
I bet he plays generic Blue Do-Thing-Draw slop commanders.

When playing Sage of the Maze and gates, I like to short hand it by:
>Tapping Sage of the Maze then say "I tap Sage of the maze for 2 mana"
>"I'll tap this gate to untap sage of the maze"
>Tapping Sage again and then say "For another 2 mana"
>Then proceed to tap each gate counting 2 more mana without going through the process of untapping the sage each time
Does it matter if I don't specify which color mana or that I don't go through the process of untapping the sage each time? Is someone gonna eventually pull this up on me?

>>96009964
Never, because nobody fucking reads anymore. And even if they did read, why would they read slop like that?

>>96010001
Really just depends on your group. Tryhards will call you out. Your friends probably won't

>>96010005
Those books sold ten million copies. Someone is reading all of them.

>>96009992
No, I just don't want to fuck children

A Harry Potter UB wouldn't be too bad actually. I don't know if there would be enough for a full set though. Maybe they could do what they did for ass creed

>>96010020
I always wanted to bang Luna Lovegood

>>96010020
This will never happen because Rowling hates trannies

anyone wanna have gay sex with jace or hae we collectively moved on past that

>>96009896
Because it's the infinite rule like the legend rule. You can't do anything that would cause an infinite loop.

>>96010020
They already made a Harry Potter UB. It's called Strixhaven

>>96009980
>Count can be a vampire despite what you said
He can't. He's not a fucking vampire because it is a show for toddlers and they don't want to confirm that he's a blood sucker. You will never find The Count referred to as a vampire in any officially licensed Sesame Street product and Magic would be no different.

>I dunno man, sounds fun to me
So diapers, huh?

>>96010033

Am I missing something here? It feels like that's supposed to be easy money for the company, especially with the $69.99 MSRP

>he thinks women with wide hips and huge tits are kids because they're vertically challenged
An interesting form of schizophrenia

>>96010088

>>96010092

>>96010091
Just because globins exist in magic doesn't mean spamming them like an avatarfag is on topic.

>>96010039
where's the infinite?
>613.6. If an effect should be applied in different layers and/or sublayers, the parts of the effect each apply in their appropriate ones. If an effect starts to apply in one layer and/or sublayer, it will continue to be applied to the same set of objects in each other applicable layer and/or sublayer, even if the ability generating the effect is removed during this process.

>>96010099

>>96010121
>a super secret unannounced UB set you guys!!!!!! with precon decks even though Spider-Man and Avatar didn't get precons!!!!!
Low quality bait.

>>96010129
It really isn't. Precons means even more unique cards need to be printed. A main set they can just print new art for a couple hundred existing cards and it's good enough.

It's almost as if printing 6 fucking standard legal sets a year creates insurmountable design pressure.
Shameless AI art cards are coming, and then it will be AI generated card effects.

>>96010136
I have saved your post in a folder to laugh at you when it's announced.
If it does not get announced by this time next year, I will eat a plains.

>>96010109
Because it loses its ability, then gets it back because it has no abilities. This repeats infinitely.

>>96010153
When it doesn't happen next year, I want you to papercut the tip of your dick with a plains, nice and deep.

>>96010161
I already said what I would do, please feel free to be weirdly upset though

>>96010150

>>96010165
>so I just faked an image to try and trick people, but if the thing I want doesn't happen I'll totally do something WACKY like eating paper! xD
The tip of your penis, papercut, niiiiiiiice and deep.

>>96010001
I don't mind shortcuts, but hear me out for a minute. For deterministic repeatable game actions and loops if you show me what you're doing the first time and showing me how you can do it again, then my only caveat is when you're done you clarify the exact game state.

So if you have 4 gates untapped and repeatedly untap Sage of the Mazes for mana, then all I want you to do is tell me at the end what colors the 10 mana you made are going to be, unless you're spending it immediately on a colorless cost where it won't matter.

Same thing with loops; technically you don't produce infinite mana; so just specify the end result ("I produce 5 million mana, 1 million of each color" is functionally infinite mana, but actually specifies the gamestate). Once again, if the specifics of outcome doesn't actually matter (like "i produce 1 million mana; Earthquake X=one million.") then it's fine, but where its relevant it should be clarified.

You should ensure there are no responses following the shortcut to prevent having to rewind the gamestate; but otherwise you only have to do it once and then prove you can do it again, then it's fine to just say 'okay I do it X times then'.

>>96010175
It's Star Wars. Hasbro had the rights to Star Trek for 1 year a decade ago. They currently have the rights to Star Wars and are on good terms with Disney.

Pass. Pass pass pass. Let's go right to Avatar, throw this shit in the garbage where it belongs.

>>96010154
that isnt a problem. nothing goes on the stack and the rule he quoted deals with situations like that. The gathering page for dress down coroborates this as well.

>>96010214

>>96009969
It's actually insanely simple to stat out The Count, if you're not a chump.
The Count - Muppet Noble artifact creature
1WB
I love to count! - Whenever a token enters the battlefield under your control, add W. If this is the second time this ability has triggered this turn, create a */* Countess artifact creature, where * is the number of Countess artifact creatures you control. If this is the third time this ability has triggered this turn, draw a card.

>>96010230
it's not an infinite. Its an interaction between effect layering. The game see's the conflict and has a rule to fix it. The end result is dress down as a creature with no abilities, and all creatures on the field have no abilities.
An infinite requires triggers

>>96010251
Good callback to Count's stable of girlfriends but making them Thing tokens makes more sense

>>96010217
You know, goblins throughout MTG history have take very different appearances in each plain. Statistically speaking, there should be at least one plain in the infinite multiverse where the average goblin is a shortstack mega hottie. This is especially true if we count UB since WoW goblins fit that description. And it's honestly only a matter of time before we get a WoW UB set.

>all I want you to do is tell me at the end what colors the 10 mana you made are going to be
If I said "I'm going to make 10 blue or green mana" and then use them interchangeably for what ever costs I need, or would you want exact numbers like "I'm creating 6 blue, 4 green mana" and then only spend those accordingly and if I miscounted my needs it's just bad luck?

>>96010357
They could be amphibians

>>96010350
what in the BOOBA this is chudiid delet this markshallah

>>96010364
Most amphibians lay eggs.

Is this ever worth including in an angel deck or is keeping that much mana open in white retarded?

>>96010374
I prefer Sunblast Angel. But that could be good if you have a way to cheat it out.

>>96010374
>>96010391

Most people, well, most smart people, will know something is up when you're sitting there with 7 open mana and probably not attack you.So getting good use of it will be difficult

>>96010206
>Kav
Are they bringing back Kavu as aliens?

>>96010405
Sometimes I hold up mana for no reason just to keep people thinking.

>I'll just sit here with 7 mana open in the weird off case someone attacks with creatures(?)
>But not holding up 1 mana for swords or using it to win or using it for an even more significant board shift (eg cyclonic rift)

It's sad that I can't tell if this is serious or not.

Won at commander night, but discovered far too late that two of the players were extremely new. One of them couldn't comprehend stickers and complained about how confusing they were. Things mellowed after the first game, but two of the players were initially quite salted after being repeatedly rammed by an 8/7 Ukkima.

Did however pull a buster sword out of the pack you get for winning.

>>96010416
dude your three other colors?

>>96010436
I was wrong, they mined it so deep that the planet cracked apart.
Im not joking,

>>96010436
it's 100% serious my guy

>>96010416
What was that?

>>96010438
damn that looks in no way related to the kind of ukkima deck I wanted to build

>>96010448
>sorcery

>>96010418
I strongly suspect Amy Rose is going to fall into that category for me.

>>96010418
Legend rule is just too much of a bitch to deal with, and most non-legendary creatures aren't really worth equipping

>>96010449
I dislike Ukkima as a baseline card. He's too efficient at what he does. But there are few commanders I'd actually consider centering with stickers besides him and maybe Derevi.

>>96010455
She works though
>>96010418
I've made this work before kek

>>96010362
If you're going to float the mana I would want exact numbers. It's not bad luck if you counted wrong, they're your cards and you're playing them. Figure out the mana you need, then loop your dorks. If you don't know what mana you need, you're going to have to guess with the limited information you have.

If you counted wrong and notice before you finish I'm happy to let you replay, but I'm not going to let you float "mana" and wait to draw something off the top of your deck and then decide the mana you made was the color you need to cast it.

>>96010469
She's not even out yet and she has a lot of competition against other boros equipment piles.

>>96010464
It's literally a non-issue at our game store most of the time. I don't know why people bitch so much about prizes in commander. Pods are fill-and-fire here and no one at the store plays CEDH to farm wins. It's literally an excuse to mix with people you don't know. You play the one game for some small prize (a pack, store credit, etc) and then you have like 5 hours at the store to play EDH. Usually with the same table or whoever else you want.

Everyone online seems to have this instinct to get super sweaty and show up to farm credit. But I've never seen it play out like that in practice

>>96010467
This seems like it'd be better off with some other commander at the helm. Unblockable is a cool strategy but Cazur is pretty low-payoff in the grand scheme of things. Felix Five-Boots might be more engaging.

>>96010485
Yeah but the thing with boros equipment piles is that there's so many options and they all fucking work. Amy isint going to be the best one but she's far from the worst and the deck is absolutely going to work

$200 for a Vivi is retarded tho

i built him with mass milling and graveyard bullshit in mind, but i saw this list and i got interested, would this actually be fun for a high power deck? ive never played storm, and this sounded neat

>>96010784
They're going to ban support commons and uncommons but leave vivi alone

>>96010807
Gotta leave it unbanned juuuuust long enough to make some sales, and THEN pull the trigger

At what point is your curve low enough (in non-green decks) where you stop running signets/talismans?

when something transforms into its backside does it keep any counters or does it counter as a new card completely

>>96010847
When I have like.. less than 10 total cards over 3cmc and nothing over 4

>>96010860
Depends if it says transform or exile then transform

>>96010860
Depends if it got exiled or not.

>>96010860
if it says it EXILES then returns then it loses information, if it doesn't then it keeps its information (such as counters)

>>96010860
Depends on how it transforms, you need to read the card. Some cards transform by just flipping over, they keep everything because they never leave the battlefield. Some cards transform by going to exile and then coming back transformed, they lose everything

>>96010860
as everyone has said, if it just says 'transform' (IE sephiroth, ultimecia, basically all the villains) it happens on the battlefield and because it does not change zones, yes. however terra and the ff16 crew all 'exile CARDNAME, then return it to the battlefield transformed'. obviously that changes zones and loses all counters and attached other cards.

>>96010958
Oh god, I can't remember what card that was in reference to.

>>96010963

>21 cards where the card has the keyword “Enrage” and it’s legal in Commander
Any deck archetypes you wish you could build? This is 100% mine, there's just too few cards to make a meaningful deck. And since there's nothing in blue, you can't cheese it with clones.

Black Lotus Station
Land - Planet
T: Add {1} to your mana pool
Crew 3: T, sac: Add three mana of any color to your mana pool.

>>96011008
>land
I see you don't understand why Black Lotus is the best card in the game

>>96011007
>enrage
Sounds like a red effect. Use red clone spells.

>new deck was supposed to arrive today
>get home after a long day of work
>it's not in my mailbox
>won't be here until Saturday
Very annoyed that I'll have to wait a whole week to play it.

>>96011043
Yeah I'm going through them now. Just sucks that they all make temporary tokens

>>96011043
Wow so yeah Wizards didn't errata all the old cards so there's a ton of creatures that say "Whenever this creature is dealt damage..." but don't have Enrage. They went back and added "Landfall" to all the old "when a land enters" cards, dunno why they didn't do the same with Enrage. There's actually 55 cards available

>>96011052
Yeah, I can agree on that. You can also use one of my personal favorite timmy combos, Liquimetal Torque + Sculpting Steel. Is enrage a triggered ability? You can also go that route and try to copy the triggers, if it is. There's enough support in red for that that it's a viable option.

>>96011083
Mirage Mirror is my go-to for these things, but that's another good option

>>96011050
Some guy recommended this site, CardTrader. When you buy something from them, they send it to you in one big shipment and you save bigly on shipping. The drawback? It will take weeks until they have all the cards together and send them to you. Also they are based in Italy, which is notorious for their terrible and slow postal service.
No way in hell am I going to torture myself for weeks by getting my hopes up every day that my package *might* have arrived while I was at work.

>>96011088
I like that card, too. I use it in combination with one of my favorite cards, Prototype Portal.

It all came from one place. It was supposed to be here today. The tracking has said so for the past week.
Something must have happened.

why would you run this instead of Growing Rites of Itlimoc?
If I understand the card correctly:
>it enters tapped
>you need to crew it like a vehicle (station it) for 12+ power
>all to get 1 mana cost: green for each creature on board
you need to do too much to get it out for what is basically a worse Growing Rites of Itlimoc and a shitty Gaeas Cradle.
The Reserved list was a mistake.

>>96011204
I might have one card and not the other

>>96011204
>>96011208
My brothers in Christ, that is a land. It takes up a land slot in your deck. Rites SHOULD take up a nonland slot since you actually need to cast it.

>>96011204
>why would you play a land instead of an enchantment???
Play both? Or don't, who cares

>>96011204
maybe just run Gaea's Cradle instead?

Which EDH brackets are normally the most popular? I can't decide if I want to trim some cards to make my deck bracket three or leave it in 4

Was I the asshole in this situation?

>he gets out omniscience very early with no maximum hand size and has Narset Jeskai Waymaster
>basically is dumping all his creatures on the board and playing instants and sorceries out of the Wazoo
>Bill Ferny and his gift horses have given me enough mana to kicked Slinn Voda and my changeling shenanigans mean that a lot of my cards don’t get sent back to my hand
>friend is annoyed but he has no maximum hand size so can play them all again next turn

>I play engulf the shores and return all their shit back to their hand again, then I cast nezahal primal tide
>they’re getting mad
>he casts all his cards again
>I’m swinging with Nezahal and Blackblade reforged Slinn Voda and an Eldrazi, then I flood of recollection and engulf the shores again (exile Nezahal so he survives and bring him back)
>ashaya and Arabella are also fuming because Ashaya planned on all their creatures being indestructible and Arabella has lost their tokens three times now
>they all set up their board states, Narset player plops ten creatures on the field but can’t kill me cause only one has haste
>my turn and I play split the party and return half his creatures to his hand, then play trade the helm and give him a horse for his big ass dragon that lets him look at the top seven cards and play instants or sorceries from it
>so mad that path to exiles it and chaos warps my Slinn Voda for a horse, is dumping all his removal on me and comboing off
>somehow I get Blackblade Nezahal in for a hit and he goes down to one health
>Arabella pings him to death next turn and he explodes on me
>other players are also upset with me
I don’t see the issue. They’re playing $300 decks and I’m playing jank from my bulk

>>96011257
I ain't reading all that shit, but if you have to ask, yes.

>>96011259

He builds bad decks and he should be ashamed of himself.

>>96010345
Angels need way more love in this game, though it's basically too late since the "cute ladies" phase of MtG is gone and every new angel will be troon tier or ugly as hell.

>>96011270
He had counterspells, Nezahal can’t be countered and I countered his counter with spell swindle

The sad part is, she's probably be decently attractive if they didn't make her bald

>>96011204
>replaces a forest
>there are no huge fucking creatures in green like Ghalta that can come down early and instantly make this thing tap for net positive mana
lmao

>>96011301
It's a go wide card, not tall. Plus it natively taps for a single green.

>>96011272
They seem to make them black quite frequently now. I just some more low mana cost angels that don’t suck.

>>96011336
They do, though that one isn't. Some flavor of asian, probably chinese

Are the starter commander decks any good or are they tier 0 babyshit outclassed by other commanders?

>>96011313
So it works like a forest, and having 3 creatures on board (in green lmao) makes it net positive mana.

>>96011357
Aside from it coming into play tapped, yeah. Though if you want to get into semantics, it only taps for net positive mana the SECOND time you tap it with 3 creatures or if you have >3 the first time you tap it, since you do lose out on tapping it for mana the turn it drops due to it coming into play tapped.
But yeah, that 12 crew cost is fucking pathetic in Green, they can either sink it in one or two creatures, or will have a boatload of weenies that they can do whatever with.

>>96010774
>not buying indistinguishable chinese proxies for $2 a piece

It must be sad to not play the cards you want when such an easy and painless option to do so exists.

no, i am not salty about someone doing this yesterday and taking up 1,5 hours of a 3 hour game all on their own.

>>96011336
Unfortunately they would need to print dozens of new angels to bring them on par with pushed tribes like dragons. They'd probably have to start making them multicolored too. And the art would be ugly as hell.

IMO they're a dead tribe. It'll take 10 more years of releases to have enough with a competitive curve and by then 4cmc 7/7s with 3-4 keywords and insane value will likely be the norm for "big" creatures.

>>96010456
It has to be great in him, but it's also so expensive to equip.

Watch Azula be UR because lmao blue fire

>>96011456
Especially if you want to be a taxonomical pedant.

I wanna use picrel for a budget catdog tribal deck that will over time become slightly less budget. Would there be any reason for someone to be against me running them as a commander? For all intents and purposes it seems like a perfectly valid card that could be printed.

>>96011050
TCGplayer sent me an email that due to demand, my order will be delayed for 2-3 weeks, with $25 store credit as compensation- that’s neat and all but I’m afraid to order anything else until my fucking order comes in, just in case the second order also gets delayed.

I see why that would make anyone upset, but at least this guy didn't have a maximum hand size (and as previously mentioned ran no counterspells or ways to handle this apparently which is a SKILL ISSUE)

Depends really, some precons are really good, some are barely playable. Most are solid, especially over the last 3 years or so, precons have been pretty consistently solid.

Remember: Bad guys = UBR

>>96009779
bait

>>96011346
a lot of precons are good and contain some notable good reprints, but what they consistently suffer from is being torn in 2 directions.
usually they feature 2 different themes and half cards are good for each of those themes, so if you want to 'upgrade' a precon you can do so by narrowing it down to 1 theme and making it more consistent.
as a random example the Abbadon precon from WH40K is torn between a demon focus and a cascade focus

>>96011522
>>96011553
no you bozos I mean the STARTER commander decks. the ones made as babby's first commander precon. They're real cheap on amazon

Atarka is good. The rest need some work out of the box.

>>96011575

>>96010099
>can interact with the artifact in response to the activated ability

>Build deck making enormous amount of concessions to improve the play experience for my opponents
>Communicate this to them before the game starts, explaining all the things my deck can and can't do
>Get hard focused after they say "well you could combo off at any time" even though I explained I can't suddenly combo off with this deck
>Realize this is probably why so many people just lean into being archenemy after realizing people are going to treat them like a villain anyway, often making their decks even more miserable than they would be if the player wasn't holding themselves to any restrictions, because now they're also being built under the assumption they're going to be treated like a scumbag anyway and be playing 1v3

Bonus points off for being thematically divorced from the mechanics to the point it's impossible to recognize without squinting at the full-caps and hiding the card's official name at the bottom where you can't fucking see it.

Last thread was a topic of most fun Rakdos commander, I missed the boat, but I am going to throw in my 2 cents anyway. I've played a lot of with guy, fun, but gets boring after a while, and everyone is going to target you. I prefer Rowan.

>>96011801
I generally detest coomer cards, but this is pretty nice.
Just make the text a bit more readable and clear and it will be a cool proxy.

>>96011871
care to share your list for him? I'm trying to build him right now and would love some inspiration.

>>96011443
>this amount of effort
they also made Legend Of Korra, remember that

>>96011889
I agree, but it being Urza Saga kinda eliminates the need to actually read the text since everyone knows what it does

>>96011871
the funniest rakdos commander to me is The Lord of Pain, not sure if he was mentioned last thread since I was asleep at the time.
Magar sounds like fun too though, there are a lot of spells you'd want to cast like that, and you could use kardur to ensure everyone else is tapped out attacking before you strike with them

>>96011898
Don't be crazy anon, there was no continuation to ATLA.

>>96010615
its pretty decent, but if some shit like that happens, you just know the flavor of the month black commander just got leaked

they said ATLA through and through right? No chance of the release getting pozzed with ATLOK, right?

>T-pro
Flare of Fortitude

>>96012205
there are plenty of spells for gaining lands or protection in white, a wide variety.
https://scryfall.com/search?q=o%3ASearch+o%3Afor+o%3Aplains+c%21w&as=grid
bonus points for cheap repeatable ones, for instance low cost creatures you can get back from the graveyard.
protection is a bit dicier, usually you have to choose something specific, like Holy Day that cancels all combat damage for the turn (1 mana), ethereal haze does the same thing but "dmg dealt by creatures this turn" so it cancels effects also. there's a lot that gives your creatures indestructible, or target creature hexproof+indestructible.

>>96012223
I am a bit disappointed that they haven't repeated the 40k precons, they could easily make 4 more even without repeating factions.
>tfw no red-green stompy ork precon

>>96012231

>>96012231
honestly if they did actually make an Ork precon, who would you have as the face Commander barring Gaz?

>>96012244
I'm not too versed with ork lore desu, I just really enjoy the idea of big orks with very dumb and funny mechanics.
I'm a big sucker for flavour in decks and would rather lose with a bad deck full of flavour than win with a boring one devoid of flavour.

>>96012260
That's fair enough, It'd be funny to see them to an Ork un-set to go along with their Precon

I actually like the aesthetics of the white catch-up cards so much that I was going to make a deck centered around them at a point

Why do the people at my LGS smell like shit? Is it really that hard to shower, brush your teeth, and put on some deodorant? I never go out in public filthy

>>96012356
I literally take a shower every time before going to my LGS, I don't want stank aura

I haven't bought a Magic card in over a year

>>96012388
>I dropped $40 on a single card yesterday
CAN'T WAKE UP

>>96012356
80% of people at my LGS are fine, but there is one guy (dyes his hair bright colours, you probably know the type) who insists on always wearing tank tops despite being chubby, and in particular a fat troon who looks like a /pol/ charicature (balding and everything) that always have the worst body odours.
we even brought up on an annual meeting to have a hygiene box in the LGS that anyone could use if they just arrived and felt a bit unfresh, needed menstrual stuff or whatever reason to use the things within, but it was shut down by a fat tabletop player (who tbf doesn't smell bad, but is always sweaty and dresses in too small clothes).
pardon the blogpost.
anyhow, to counteract this I always shower before going there, put on plenty of deo to remain fresh and wear a little bit of perfume, just to really contrast myself from those people - if anyone picks up a bad scent they will be certain it isn't off me.

>>96012409
If $40 matters to you why aren’t you proxying?

>>96012388
I've been proxying for years, but I haven't played for over a month now. Last time I was at the club's game night I played one game and then just left after an hour of "why the fuck am I even subjecting myself to this?".

>>96012356
>>96012431

I always have this fantasy going to my LGS that people are going to be kind, polite, dressed nicely with unstained clothes, showered and groomed.

Instead you get a bunch of cretins who either look homeless or don't seem to know what a shower or a toothbrush is.
Fat slobs that eat greasy food at the table and have stains all over their shirt. Dudes with so much excess body fat that they're literally shaped like a pear and can only breathe through their mouth.

I hate trannies but at least the ones at my LGS seem to understand basic hygiene

>>96011740
>communicate this to them before game
Ya is hard focus you too lol what a faggy thing to do
>hey guys before we start the game id juat like to give a mini essay on why you aren't allowed to focus me at anytime or ill get sad and write about it on 4chan

>>96012015
This post makes beyond zero sense and is not how anything would work

>>96012356
A lot of adults who play TCGs have some form of mental illness or another, and the mentally ill have poor hygiene.
>>96012431
I have it the other way; my LGS is down the block from a gym and its full of moderately buff guys coming in immediately after their set to play pokemon

>>96012556
That sounds based
I had hoped it was the same thing with mine because it shares a plaza with a gym, but there doesn't really seem to be any overlap

>>96012356
I have never met a smelly guy at my LGS. But this one time, I was smoking a fat blunt near the store but had to go back in for the next pauper round, so I put it out and pocketed it. After a while I noticed how much it stank, but kept playing while the guy next to me was visibly cringing for the entire round.

>>96012572
It's probably better than the average crowd of LGS-goers, but they do smell and they're loud as FUCK to boot

>>96012648
Anon the goblins are already dead....

>>96012666
the designer credit was only on cards that weren't made by the design team.
it's like saying "was making art based on real people the cringiest thing magic has done" in response to any of the champion cards (most likely the fairy card).

>>96012795
But the drain triggers are removed from the stack.

>>96012795
>massacre wurm resolves, ETB trigger goes on the stack
if anything happens in response to the ETB (the goblin player making more goblins, for example) those go here
>massacre ETB resolves, his opponents' creatures get -2/-2
everything dies, active player puts his effects on the stack first, then each other player in turn order. so, massacre wurm triggers on the stack first, then if the 2nd player has any, then lets pretend the goblin player is the 3rd, then the 4th player.
pretend players 2 and 4 had a solemn or something die, the stack looks like
>player 4's draw trigger
>goblin player's X palashik mons triggers
>player 2's draw trigger
>massacre wurm's Y lose 2 life triggers
assuming the goblin player had enough goblins to do so, he can kill player 1 while the stack is resolving. if he does. the life loss triggers cease to exist.

Narcissists arent hapless. You seem to think you and everyone else would be able to spot them and immediately boot them from any community they’re found in.
You don’t seem to realize that they’re very good at blending in, creating false narratives to attack people they dislike, and getting well-meaning people on their side.

You also seem to think a narcissist would blow up over a single loss lmao.
What actually happens is they try to cope in other ways like being seen as the rules expert of the LGS, or dropping a shit load of money on a box of boosters. If they really don’t like you they’ll start making nebulous accusations about you, like that youre a “creep”, or that your tone in a conversation other people weren’t present for was aggressive or insulting or literally anything else

is underworld breach the only graveyard payoff in mono red? or are there some other good game enders i can run in clive after setting up the grave

>>96013302
Everyone can spot them most people just hope others are/will be better ^.^

>>96013333
You really shouldn't be using him to set up the grave because there's very few payoffs in mono red

Do you actually shuffle your deck each time you mulligan?

It's way faster than shuffling every time.

>>96013345
So you're cheating every time you mulligan?

>>96013333
Checked
>>96013345
Yeah but I rarely mulligan more than once in EDH. It's much more forgiving than actual competitive magic formats.

>>96013341
blinking him a bunch sounded fun, but i wasnt really sure what way to build clive so i ended up with some clusterfuck of burning and copying

This is good

>>96013367
So red doesn't have a lot of gy or blink, I would focus more on flipping him to re-use his etb ability. He seems pretty aggressive to me and fast, make sure you include lots of ways to give him haste

Objectively, font is a bit hard to read,

Subjectively, you've fallen into the trap a lot of proxy makers and even bonus sheets / secret lairs fall into, the card is far to busy with too much flourish. Too much stye can be a bad thing.

>>96013367
I'd play more haste desu. Just add more haste lands, you're not even playing caged sun/gauntlet of power etc, so there's basically no opportunity cost.

>>96013484
Copying ifrit is a good idea, you get the etb

>>96013428
blink, not outside of artifact ones usually, but you can Past in Flames, Mizzix's Mastery, Will of the Jeskai
Mizzix's is the really big one. the others require that you're in storm momentum mode already (IE, making mana per cast at the very least).

I pulled the final fantasy rhystic study

am I cancer if I put it into my ffx precon? I added bahamut, shiva, zanakard and yuna already

>>96013520
Rhystic Study is always cancer

>>96013520
I mean, you're moving up an entire bracket by doing so. If you like playing against other precons, obviously don't, if you're playing kitchen table/regular pod and they play stuff like it already, go for it.

>>96013531
>>96013542
I added all of the ffx cards like yunas holy magic and spiras punishment instead of farewell and shit

damn, I really wanted to show that off. whats the point of printing big $$$ cards like that if I cant put it into the flavor deck without looking like an asshole

>>96013302
The mentally ill are trivially easy to spot lmao, they are allowed to stay if they follow the rules

>>96013365
The Lesbians grow in power.

>>96013556
Rhystic is unironically the strongest card in the format outside of Sol Ring

>>96013556
>whats the point of printing big $$$ cards like that if I cant put it into the flavor deck without looking like an asshole
Purely so bracket 4 whales have a reason to spend money.

>>96013556
just play it who cares, a single rhystic study in some shit deck wont change much, it will either instantly get shot or live the entire game because no one runs removal

>>96013473
I crave more movie poster cards

>>96013556
>rhystic study
>flavor
Lol

>>96013577
>a single rhystic study in some shit deck wont change much
>it will live the entire game because no one runs removal
You don't think the guy drawing 6 cards each turn cycle will have an advantage over the other precons at the table?
>just remove it
Most precons don't have a lot of highly efficient removal.

>>96013586
im not saying its not strong, but just assuming 1 single good card in the 99 means hes gonna open it or something is stupid, especially if hes playing a precon or shit deck without tons of draw power already

>>96013579
hes talking about this art, i have a friend who bought it because 10 is his favorite and he doesnt even play magic

>>96013611
Having shitty art doesn't magically make the generic card on theme. The only deck rhystic is on theme is is a deck that cares about drawing on turns that aren't yours or taxing your opponents. Anywhere else it is there cause you wanna buy wins

>>96013611
>1 single good card in the 99
The problem isn't that he always has it, it's that the ceiling of his deck skyrockets if he gets it.
A power level 5 Tivit voting deck is casual fun for the table but if the Tivit player puts a Time Sieve down and no one has removal for it, it suddenly stops feeling like a power level 5 deck even though he only has one of them in the whole deck.

>>96013586
NTA, but I have a friend who runs it and we don't pay the taxes because his deck is so shit it doesn't matter how many cards he's going to draw the odds of him losing are always nearly 100%

>>96013365
VERY nice for my Slime against Humanity deck.

>>96011470

made this please rate

>>96013649
Some decks can take very strong cards and keep them balanced if the rest of the deck can't take advantage of it. The FF10 precon isn't that weak.

>>96013345
Yes? How is that even a question. You shuffle every time. Otherwise it could easily be gamed.

>>96013649
Well in anon's case, the Tidus precon is actually pretty good out of the box, so an unchecked Rhystic will take over the game

>>96013556
>>96013611
Wow nice funko pop such flavor.

Quick what do I add to my deck today to make a BBB joke?

>>96013556
https://archidekt.com/decks/14274986/ffx_blinged_precon

here, my blinged out precon. is it overpowered?

>>96013700
Any card that negatively affects everyone including yourself but it's ok you're owning the libs

>>96013700
One perfect choice

>>96013725
Ah so more two-sided effects like this huh, I could throw some more in there. It'll be real annoying though since I already run Propaganda and Ghostly Prison.

>>96013728
He could also play the blue decree. Ignoring the next three spells his opponents cast.

>>96013700
war's toll

>>96013765
Already run it hahahah. This was an America general deck with Zedruu Obama originally.

>>96013354
>>96013395
>>96013666
It's a casual game. It's not like I'm counting cards or some shit. I just want to play.
I honestly thought everyone did this until I visited family in another city and they would shuffle after every mulligan. I asked them why they don't just pull another 7 off the top and they looked at me like I grew a second head.

>>96013774
Yes they looked at you like you were suggesting everyone just cheat. Casual doesn't mean no rules what a word defense.

>>96013774
because people like you will dig for sol ring and other bullshit you stick together. What you are doing is called the bitchhead mulligan, it's only for people who suck at shuffling and can't get lands after 5 mulligans and the table is tired of the retard.

>>96013700
Get your credit card and use it to send money to an Israeli's deck. Then call your playgroup anti-Semitic when they mention you could have used the money to improve your own deck

>>96013700
>Republicans admit it's a dogshit bill
>Pass it anyways
Masterful gambit

>>96013830
>representing sub groups as the whole group to make the point of hypocrisy

>>96013830
Most are very happy with it though, especially after the part about selling national park land was removed. Overall its good

>>96013795
K, any Jews here on /tg/' that want a Masterpiece Sol Ring shipped to them? I'm literally not allowed to post on /pol/ so I don't have very easy access to Israel. It'll be Bigger and Better than my own masterpiece sol ring, the Goldest Sol Ring you've ever seen! And unlike my sol ring it won't be made in China. Sad! For me.

>>96013869
>I'm literally not allowed to post on /pol/
Wow I could never fuckin imagine why.

>>96013830
>Dems thing Kamala is a bad candidate
>Run her anyways

>>96012556
I feel really lucky with my lgs, almost everyone who plays is a veteran who picked up the game when deployed, tradies trying to kill time, married dads, and young married couples who like card games. Even the rare few trannys are polite and practice good hygiene. The only stereotypical lgs dweller is hated and regularly bullied in his games.

>>96013774
>It's not like I'm counting cards or some shit. I just want to play.
You literally are though, you know your deck, and you know what now isn't in it. Why don't you just loudly announce you will put whatever 7 cards you want as an opener in your hand then shuffle and cut out this "I'm not really cheating teehee" nonsense

>>96013891
Yeah it's strange, but the mods have gotten a lot harsher in there over the years throwing out bans for the slightest thing.

>>96009764 (OP)
>What was the first deck you ever built?
Norin the Wary stax, before it became the meme deck it is today, back when the format was called EDH, before WotC printed any commander product, and back when Memnarch and Zur were the boogiemen of the format

>>96013830
>>96013906
>retarded jew americans think either party is different

>>96013982
Noris was like the very first meme deck my dude.

>>96013869
That orangeman card is fucking jokes with the Jeb line. 2016 debate Trump was an absolute walking meme, we will never witness that level of kek energy ever again

>>96013996
I made it before it became widely known as a meme deck is what im saying. Someone made an mtgsalvation thread about their norin chaos deck and that's when Norin officially became a meme commander

>>96013997
I often wonder just how many votes were literally changed to Trump back then purely because of this video alone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWhi_JXos60

>>96013768
ha, I remember these jokes.
do you still have stuff like steel hellkite for bombing people?
anyway, turf war, lust for war, there's a few red stax enchantments with "war" in the name. also ye olde assault suit ruhan. make it an iron man suit or something.

>>96013365
this card leaked less than two hours ago, yet i've had this erection more than four hours already
peculiar

>>96014004
It's always been a meme.

>>96014013
My favorite was in the hall of the trumpenking and when he talked about Rosie o Donnell then airports dropped and meme glasses appeared on his face.

>>96014022
It wasn't known enough to be a meme before that mtgsalvation thread and everyone started building a norin chaos deck

>>96014004
>>96013982
No one cares about your delusions of grandeur fanfic about yourself

>>96013774
>>96013345
>Anon finds out he was cheating intentionally or unintentionally
>Instead of accepting this and learning to play correctly he goes on 4chan to try and justify his actions like it should be the norm

>>96013774
Doesn't matter if it's casual or not. Hell, it's almost worse to cheat when it's casual for how no stakes things are. You just shuffle every time. It's easy.

>>96014042
I just thought it was surprising. Everyone does it in casual commander where I'm from. I didn't realize it wasn't the norm until I saw other people doing it differently.

>>96014034
It was known enough for you to do it. Why do you think other people weren't?

>>96014064
I built norin stax, not chaos meme version

>>96014053
Doesn't change the fact instead of saying "hey guys, crazy story about how I was playing wrong" you opted to go with "why doesn't everyone cheat?"

>>96014083
>I built meme deck A not meme deck B
Congrats I guess

>>96014013
These videos were hilarious to spam at libtards after he won.
https://youtu.be/CiJYGV8faZw?feature=shared

I should make a jeskai weapons of mass destruction deck to celebrate the Trumpenking on Independence day

>>96014089
>you opted to go with "why doesn't everyone cheat?"
Because I'm genuinely curious. I wonder why it never caught on. It seems way more time efficient and doesn't seem like it would be very effective for cheating, at all.

>>96014053
>everyone does it
No they dont.

>>96014114
>why did cheating never catch on
It's a game you play for fun.

>>96014119
They do where I live.

>it's more fun thinking about playing the deck and building it than actually playing it

>>96014142
>build a fun deck
>no one else builds fun decks
>games are not fun

>>96014134
No, they do not. You have made this part up because you thought you'd be met with support, or else it would have been part of the initial post.

>post a card you've never seen anyone else run
This thing is so much value for 3 mana

>>96014144
>build something that's not boring lategame control that inevitably leads to "build up a big amount of resources then use them all at once to take someone out"
>get focused down first by everyone else who just wants to keep ramping to lategame, even when attacking someone else is in everyone's interest

>>96014158
that card is so pretty that I would run it just for the appearance

>>96014158
oooh i might have to toss that into my Araumi clone deck.

>>96014142
This is edh in general

>>96013365
*excited unicorn sounds*

>>96014250
There's a lot of mentions of this guy lately, why?

>>96014144
This is why I no longer have fun with the game. People don't build fun decks they enjoy, they just netdeck the most powerful/meta shit

>>96014183
>build a random deck because I have some of the parts and it seems fun
>sit down and say I have it, someone in pod says he was thinking of making one himself
>say it's not finished, it has zero wincons, but I'll play it to show some tech
>play three mana rocks and he says "you're ramping too much, I'm scared" and alpha strikes me

I want to build a jeskai or boros deck with all my cool nuclear mass destruction spells like decree of annihilation, jakulhaups and Armageddon, but how will it actually win and end the game? Does anyone have experience with such a deck?

>>96014285
I assume people built Betor then they realized the gay unicorn is just the same thing but a lot stronger and with better mana and more streamlined gameplan

>>96014299
>>play three mana rocks and he says "you're ramping too much, I'm scared" and alpha strikes me
And?
I'd be afraid too of the guy with 7 mana open on turn 4.

>>96012471
You go to Lgs to find the 5-10 people that arent disgusting and then invite them to your friend group.
Anyone still at the lgs cannot do this which increases the chance of bad hygiene and poor social skills.

>>96014314
it was like turn 6 (I think I had 14 mana open)

>>96014294
I built a fun Bilbo birthday deck featuring all the hobbits and cards like second breakfast and shortcut to mushrooms. It usually just makes some food, gets some hobbit tokens then dies. I play it if I win a few games in a row and don't want to keep stomping the table and looking like a try hard. It's still fun but the lack of ability to win or threaten anyone leads to me rarely playing it. It's probably edh backet 1, below the average precon deck. The game is about trying to win, after all.

>>96014250
>>96014307
This guy seemed better to me because of when the trigger happens

>>96014353
Can't hit any creatures and you're missing a ton of value cards if you're limited to Treefolk and Halflings. All the good lifegain/counters creatures are non-functioning in that deck.

>>96014371
Huh interesting, I just realized lathiel targets any number of creatures

I might actually build that deck...

>>96014320
I would love to play with people like you, who prefer flavour to competitivity
it's so disjointed when someone is playing a character who's lorewise goal is safeguarding human with a bunch of orcs or giants or whatever just because the creature effects work well

>>96014320
Wish we knew each other so we could play a game. You sound really chill and fun to play with.

My group has been in an arms race for a while now and I've been trying to get them to cool by building fun decks but it hasn't really worked so well

>>96014500
Hurray, another 30+ dollar doubler

>>96014500
>just double it
Is there a more soulless mechanic?

>>96014500
Mechanized Production support

>>96014528
>>96014534
This doesn't double though

>>96014500
My Golbez deck is gonna love this

Caught between building Savra and Maxirek. Both seem pretty decent, but one's an enabler whereas the other is payoff, and both fit in the 99 of each other's decks

>>96014500
>oh my goodness gracious me, my (token generator commander) deck is going to wuv wuv wuvvv this!!
This is an auto include in any deck with a commander that makes one or more tokens across the course of a game, or any deck with a treasure generator (any deck not in green, and half the decks in green).

I guess the limiting factor is that the deck might need one or more artifacts and possibly a non-legendary creature in the 99, but I think most decks can handle that restriction.

>>96014597

It is a boring card

I repeat
>chronically unhappy

>>96014571
>>96014597
if you're too pussyshit to reply to the tripfag, I'll make it easier for you.
>>96014579
Savra for lower power, Mazirek for higher power.

>>96014649
He's not talking about me, my commander doesn't generate tokens!

>>96014158
I like to play it in a few decks, but none of them are really mill decks, so the game needs to be grindy to get the backside.

>>96014640
Im very happy. What does me finding a card boring have to do with happiness? You're projecting anon, my happiness does not hinge upon a card.

>>96014019
>do you still have stuff like steel hellkite for bombing people?
Uhh, no? Is a Hellkite a nickname for a type of jet or something? I don't get the reference.
>turf war, lust for war
These seem pretty neat, I'll have to try them out.
>assault suit
Already got it proxied up as T-45 armor years ago.

>>96014004
Widely known what? Norin is fundamentally a meme deck, there is no serious way to play a Norin deck.
