TQ: Hottest woman (or man, I wont judge) on a card in your opinion?

What's a good way to get into EDH and build a decent base of cards? I haven't played since Zendikar and that was only for a year, and before that I played a lot from 5th edition through 8th. So I have no cards anymore.

Would grabbing a pre-con and a box of Commander Legends be an ok way to start? I don't expect anything amazing, just to have a batch of stuff to build on.

>>96035535 (OP)
she cute (I wanna tickle her feet)

>>96035546
Probably the foundations boxes if you are really wanting to buy things.

I-Is that MLD??!?!
Save me Gavin!

>>96035546
You connect the concept of
>I haven't played since Zendikar and that was only for a year, and before that I played a lot from 5th edition through 8th
with the concept of
>I have no cards anymore
using the word "so", but you don't explain WHY using cards from years ago means you don't have them anymore. You never actually state why you don't have cards anymore.
Why don't you have those cards anymore, anon? We can't read your mind, and your personal experiences are not universal. You have to actually communicate them for us to understand them.

>>96035609
no it's not

took some time for me but im finally at the point where i dont care about [CURRENT SET] and its boring goodstuff.
time to play the game again
commanders for this feel?

>>96035617
Please consult the flowchart

>>96035628
MLD is based

>>96035628
destroying your own lands is not MLD

>>96035615
Fuckin sold em and made a decent penny, thinking I moved on from the game. Now that I have the spare time and can better afford a hobby, thought about getting back into it. Always felt the itch though and during the time I played, I thought Standard was rotating too fast, and judging from what I've read, Standard rotates even faster now. So I thought maybe Commander would be the way to go, with as open as it is.

>>96035568
>orzhov legend is a black nigger
>using the tranny syr again
I'm getting tired boss

>>96035546
I think that's a good place to start. That's what I did, I bought every precon available at the time and a couple of boxes and upgraded them with what I had. Not the most efficient way to build decks, tho. You'll still get a lot of good cards but it'll be a toss up if you ever use most of them.

consider your lands massively destructed.
better kiss them goodbye and tap them one last time before its time for them to hit the graveyard big time.
how will you ever recover?

>>96035682
insane commander for Duel, even better than marath

>>96035546
If you just want to bust open packs you could try to open boxes like commander legends or commander masters, but even if you pull "well" and pull expensive cards, they could just end up being expensive cards for archetypes you don't enjoy playing. Your best fiscal best would be to try buying a pre-con or singles; and just cracking open a box if you want the rush.

https://www.mtgstocks.com/sealed This website can be helpful as well, showing values of sets and packs.

MLD is bracket 3 at best nosewater and Gavin are retards

>>96035690
Sorry sweaty this is a bracket 3 game, you're going to have to take your MLD and Early-Game Combo to a different table.
Anyway I cast "Do the thing" which does the thing once for each opponent I have and lets me draw 3 cards off of my commander who says 'whenever I do the thing I draw a card and make a thing token'.

>>96035592

>>96035653

>>96035715
Neat that you're still getting your money back with the ff thing honestly, I've been really enjoying the cards I've been getting in the collectors packs. Going to try and get surge foils of all the ff7 cast

>>96035805
Does this count as MLD? The Yugioh player in me does enjoy shitting on people with flood gates every now and then.
>>96035865
Yes. Progenitus got me into the game and I actually just bought a copy of Tiamat yesterday.

>>96035859
UB sets are always more popular

>>96035865
Tiamat is gay and lame and was bad before dracogenisis made it mid

>>96035842
Correct

>>96035890
maybe they should make magic sets that aren't fake and gay

>>96035628
According to this graph, Blood Moon is not MLD.
According to the brackets, it is.

>>96035896
bloodmoon is great

>>96035896
The brackets specify "mass land denial" and not destruction. And Blood Moon does deny non-basic lands.

>>96035912
So we agree the graph is wrong

>>96035896
I run Blood Moon and Winter Moon in mono red deck. I regret nothing.

>>96035912

>>96035941
Oop forgot to link back
>>96034780
>>96034898

>>96035929
No, because I'm only denying you a single land.

>>96035929
this card is so powerful cause it almost always works in your favor when casted and the lands enter untapped meanwhile prime time is cmc 6 fetches 2 tapped lands and that's too broken cause of flickering

>>96035952
I copied it Gavin. Now I'm attacking you with two man-lands, choose how you block carefully and remember this is bracket 3.

>>96035941
NTA but that looks really nice. THough I would try and make the hand look more like a nebula or something.

>>96035788
>>96035896
Mass land denial is NOT Mass land destruction

>>96034021
late but I was busy. remember to also grab the 'every nonbasic landtype' land from the omo precon too.

Land denial is worse than land destruction because the land is still there but you can't use it.

>>96035941
cute

>>96036005
simply remove the denial piece. You are running plenty of basics right?

>>96035988
it is treated the exact same in brackets

>>96035988

No. Magic players whine about literally everything. I don't remember a single set in the last 15 years that was not whined about incessently.

>I don't like the set gimmick

This is a magic players version of "cautiously optimistic." Cry like a shitter until a few sets have gone by then they can finally admit they liked it.

Made a starter for the list, threw in Lotus Ring since I have one and it felt like a cute way to sacrifice creatures. Probably not worth the slot, but I figured I'd throw it out there.

>>96035958
Each copy is only being denied a single land. Likewise, each creature I block with only kills a single land. Therefore, no MLD.

Are we really baiting about what is and isn't MLD for the 1000th time?

>>96036258
Isn't Frazetta a chud?

That's because FF is better in every respect from art to mechanics to power level and feels more like a Magic set than this Edge of Trooniggity "We Gotta Print More Busted Shit Just To Get Anyone To Pay Attention To Our Shit In-House Sets" garbage.

Googled funko pop and the first images were Iron Man, and Eleven from Stranger things. First funko that we haven't already had as a set was Freddy Fazbear so I guess we're getting FNAF

>>96036524

>>96035535 (OP)
There's a mono red card that I don't remember the name of to save my life. It was a sorcery or instant that had a girl with nice tits in the art.
I remember playing it just because of that and my friend ripped on me because he said the card was really bad.

>>96036513
NTA but I think an X-Men set would be pretty cool. Gambit's one of my favorite characters of all time, I'd totally make a thematic deck centered around him if they did kinetic charges right and made his abilities have a lot of flavor

As usual wotc were behind the trend on crossovers. This time it's terminal though. The player base is nothing but smash bros rosterfags at this point. The snide, ivory tower nonsense just makes it more hilariously tragic. They really think their mediocre video games and horrible television make for good magic cards just because the in universe stuff is also bad.

>>96036556
At this point, if you see it, you should just disregard the post it contains. It's either bait or just low IQ.

For some reason this art really gets me going.

if you hate smash and think it's not the natural evolution of fighting games (like moba was the evolution of rts) then just say so anon

>>96036573
>tell us the best IP that mtg can use
There was this really cool card game from the late 90's/early 2000's called Magic: The Gathering, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be getting developed anymore so I don't know if a crossover would be possible. Shame, because the story and characters were great.

>>96036611
>because the story and characters were great
you didn't' read the books, huh?

>>96036550
You sound pretty angry.

>>96036570
Neat, hopefully he was good in that system, discarding a card to 'throw' it at someone fits him

>>96036611
your pining for the past is admirable
but unless you're content to only play premodern or make a new closed retro format of your own (i suggest 8ED-RNA) further complaining is useless
chris cocks made his decision long ago and other than a catastrophic financial loss there's no stopping the UB train so please tell us the IP you want in mtg so we at least don't have to suffer things like final fantasy

You still get the value when paying the commander tax too.

If it isn't already a recognised symptom of autism, someone should acknowledge the massively autistic tendency to assume that if the autist likes 2 separate things then the 2 things would be better together.
Drives me absolutely crazy. I prefer things to be their own things. That's why I fucking like them, because they're not something I already enjoy. But the autistic brain just doesn't work that way and it needs to be studied.

Come on anon. Be willing to critique this bullshit even just a little. Pretend your favorite video games didn't get a UB. At this point they should just change the card back to something as generic and boring as the crossover spam has made it. Rosewater had the hubris to redesign the card front 20 years ago, why should he stop there when soulless sales are flowing in.

i do but at the same time UB cards have women that actually look like women, which tells you like 90% of why people like UB regardless of an innate sense of "betrayal of the mtg ip"
because what's really going on here is that mtg's ip has always been weak and has in fact rotted so much that a complete change of the guard is necessary, and yet you can't even criticize it on that
>Rosewater had the hubris to redesign the card front 20 years ago, why should he stop there when soulless sales are flowing in.
yes i too believe gold bordered cards should be legal but ofc rosewater is just as retarded as gavin so here we are

ChatGPT kept deleting my question but eventually it bugged and just posted an answer anyway lmao
Asking it to be more concise:
>Yes, this is a tendency that’s quite common in autistic people. Many autistic individuals have intense, focused interests, and there’s often a strong drive to combine those interests — like wanting favorite characters to appear in a game they love or imagining crossovers between unrelated shows. It’s a way of maximizing enjoyment by bringing together things that already bring them comfort or excitement, and it often reflects how autistic minds naturally look for patterns, connections, and coherent systems.
>While it’s not something every autistic person does, it is a recognizable and frequent trait in autistic thinking — much more so than in neurotypical people. So if you’re noticing someone often assumes that two things they like would be better together, that could be a small but real clue pointing toward an autistic way of engaging with the world.

>>96036780
Yeah. Read the card. X is never even mentioned in the text. Even if X is 0 you still get two counters minimum.

>>96036711
I don't get this revisionist view that the mtg ip was "always weak." It was never high art but it was always serviceable fantasy adventure, especially for the demographic it was aimed at. Ending it all is indeed preferable to morphing into the fortnite card game starring Tinybones, Loot and Fblthp. It's selling out plain and simple. As I said earlier, they're late to every trend, even selling out and I can only hope that means they'll just be late to dying. If the game had died off before all this nonsense I still could have played magic with the various groups I frequent without the joke pod of SpongeBob, iron man and sephiroth.

>>96036807
It's a card game about wizards pulling spells and creatures from across the multiverse and slapping each other with them, it was always going to sell out when the licensing was workable

Izzet is all about instants and sorceries so playing enchants just isn't viable, and I believe in the potential for a rakdos forced combat commander but they've never printed one, same for dimir. But there's sultai enchantress which lets you play a lot of dimir.
>>combat tricks
>boros owns that archetype
Okay. Tell that to Zethi I guess.
>no color combo has a monopoly in tapping/untapping things
If you're going to say that a color "owns" something because it's the best at it, then you don't also get to say azorius doesn't have tap-untap. Literally every fucking ice themed card has been white, blue, or both. So have cards themed around arrest and detention. You're so full of shit.
>thanks for proving my point lol
>if I ignore literally everything you've said, I win!
Have to be 18 or older to use this site bud, come back in 15 years

>>96035682
I hate that I like this design
Also somehow seems clunky though, you'll need lots of other creatures with counters

>>96036948
I hate that every fucking card in a new set has to be completely ruined with references to mechanics that will never be printed again. When will we next see robots and robot synergies? Probably never, just like Start your Engines! and Rooms.

>>96036779
Sounds tailor made for Hope decks

>>96036910
Yeah, to eat normally it's insane but for thousands of dollars most people could do it.

>>96036945
There are a random few ice themed cards that are red. And I'm not counting snow sets since we all know they don't count.

>>96036965
Rooms had potential, but they needed to call them "rooms" and mire them in garbage forever. So unlike things like kicker or phasing there's no way to really bring them back without it seeming retarded.

OTOH we're on version 3.0 of mechanically distinct vehicles so who fucking knows.

>>96036945
when i say "own" i mean what people perceive the color combo is meant to do, you fucking idiot, how the hell did you even miss that
when people think of rakdos they think group slug and no nobody will accept azorious as group slug even if a UW commander came out with group slug abilities, it's just not what casual players want or expect
and guess what mill sucks anyway so what's the natural thing to do? make the player live long enough to mill everyone out - hence azorius mill
designslop schizo is frothing at the mouth seeing how stupid you are lmao

WOTC should be banned from making new mechanics for a decade.

>>96036980
Rooms work on any plane. No clue what you are on about. Every place ever has rooms.

So even though this doesn’t turn into a creature, it can be your commander since it’s a Legendary Spaceship.

Just a fat ass mana rock in the command zone. Hell yeah. I’m building this. Need to find the best colorless mana sinks.

>>96036998
Eh, maybe not banned, but have a hard cap of one or two a year.

>>96037004
>So even though this doesn’t turn into a creature, it can be your commander since it’s a Legendary Spaceship.
you might as well make Island your commander given your level of intelligence lol

>>96036998
But I like Warp

>>96035535 (OP)
>tq

>>96037017
That’s my Gogo deck

>>96037002
NTA but they have unfortunate overlap with lands. There are already lands that were rooms, War Room for one. And a lot of lands depict rooms on their art. Cannot fucking believe they printed Rooms the same year as the fucking Clue lands.
The Rooms of Duskmourn were tied to the fact the whole place is a haunted house, that logic doesn't really apply anywhere else. It never made sense for rooms in a house to be fucking enchantments in the first place, it's purely so they would have synergies in an enchantment-heavy set.

Whatever the case though, you just won't see Rooms again unless there is a return to Duskmourn or something. It's as simple as that. What was the last new mechanic that actually got support in other sets? Adventures? WotC just shits out a new mechanic every set for the draft environment and then forgets about it. You will never see Start You Engines! on another fucking card until they make another racecar set.

>>96037040
>mono blue ramp commander
what the actual FUCK were they thinking

>>96037004
These cards are completely devoid of personality, it's ridiculous

>>96037017
Oh I didn’t see that they specified that it needed a power and toughness. Lame.

>>96037030
It's just evoke that exiles instead of sacing.

>>96037040
Goes great in my Neil Patrick Harris deck

>>96037048
the next racecar set will use Need For Speed! instead

>>96036535
>kresh of all cards is slop.

>>96037058

>>96037054
It's so weird cos the shit that takes place on a planet's surface and doesn't mention planets or stations or robots or spacecraft actually looks neat and thematic. But I just fucking cringe at everything else.

>>96037067
Next year that card will be old enough to vote.

>>96037057
I like evoke so fine by me

>>96036535
No one who says "slop" is worth listening to.

>>96037083
But anon...you just...

>>96037057
it's evoke + adventure

>>96037048
I mostly agree but the story of Duskmourn was Valgavoth beginning to expand into other planes, so I could see them putting rooms into other planes as a way to demonstrate his influence on a plane.

Start Your Engines just had a dogshit name for the mechanic. It should have just been called Speed or Velocity so it could be printed anywhere speed or traveling fast might matter. The names gives away that it was a throwaway mechanic.

>>96037054
the spaceships aren't drawn firing lasers and engaging in warfare so they just look like floating ominous buildings rather than machines of war

>>96037077
Im hoping Alara remains forgotten. it's too good for modern wotc. DO NOT MONKEYS PAW DO NOT BRING IT BACK NOW.

>>96037088
FUCK

>>96037100
lasers would be guns
guns = NOT GOOD

>>96037103
Alara is notable for being the first hat set

>>96037113
I would not at all call Alara a hat set. it's actually well thought out, had a cohesive theme/gimmick and is memorable. it's not space Jace and it's not even close.

>>96037111
clearly only UB cards can open carry

>>96037113
I... Kinda? But only if you stretch the definition to its limits. The relatively simple theming on each shard also served a narrative purpose.

What do you think is the hardest part about deck building? For me as a new player it's figuring out what fat to trim since I like having a lot of different things going on since I find variety fun, and how many land I should actually put in

>>96037111
i long for the days of old

>>96037048
>unless there is a return to Duskmourn or something
God I hope so. I know traditionalists hated it but I loved Duskmourn. Manifest dread was cool, rooms were cool, and the flavor and themeing was right up my alley.

>>96037111
Unless you're selling ad-space on your cards, then guns fine.

>>96037125
>MTG sets
Cucked, trannies, dei, no guns
>UB
Straight white men and guns

>>96037129
Duskmourn was like, half cool. There was some interesting stuff and while I'm not a massive fan of the whole "The entire plane is one house" thing it COULD have been done well. The fact that they just made it a load of lazily done 80's horror movie references was ass though.

Black is getting a lot of really cool designs this set

>>96037129
Duskmourn is just a glorified trampoline

>>96037129
I liked everything about Duskmourn except the late 1900s theming. If it could just have been like an early 1900s horror novel, or Call of Cthulu or something it could have been exceptional. But instead we had to have MAGIC Sony Walkmans.

>>96037136

Bleach, take a big ol' drink of it

rakdos combos?

>>96037127
variety doesn't have to be a dirty casual word
just use more modal spells

>>96037129
Mechanically duskmourn is cool
Thematically it's incredibly gay

>>96037136
I was thinking about using this to cheat out big beaters that have downsides and stuff since it wipes all their abilities. But what creatures even have downsides anymore to make this fun?

>>96037134
>I'm not a massive fan of the whole "The entire plane is one house" thing
Same
>The fact that they just made it a load of lazily done 80's horror movie references was ass though
As a massive fan of 80's horror movies I enjoyed them.

I also really loved the full art lands. I replaced all the basics in my decks with them.

>>96037144
he doesn't change their power or toughness, so consider grabbing stuff out of the graveyard like Death's Shadow, Eater of Days, or Leveler that can easily be discarded through one of black's MANY discard outlets. Then you simply tap him and bam, 13/13 Mr. Bones is about to take your opponent on a wild ride.

>>96037141
A while back I thought of an interesting idea for Duskmourn where instead of a haunted house made by a demon, it's just... always been that way and the "Horrors" are the natural denizens of the plane, with all the humans and... okay admittedly I think it was just humans in that set are extraplanars that ended up there when the omenpath thing happened.

>>96037146
I hate their "principles" so yes it is based.

>>96037159
>>The fact that they just made it a load of lazily done 80's horror movie references was ass though
>As a massive fan of 80's horror movies I enjoyed them.

>i like the thing that makes this set shit actually
I sincerely hate people like you. If you don't give a fuck about the tone of Magic and just think it can be raped as long as you like the particular position MaRo is giving it to Magic's dripping cardussy then why don't you just fuck off?

I can only hate duskmourn so much because it gave me one of my favorite new commanders

But like, the whole thing with it being a house and the humans need to be kept alive to be scared is really.... Lame

>>96037162
Their principles are still being enforced on you, fuck-wit, they're just relaxing them during the unskippable ad breaks. And you're eating it up.

>>96037127
I always run too few creatures which is strange because I hate spellslinger decks. I just always think I need more removal and draw and then at the end I'm left with like 15 creatures in a Ygra deck or something.

>>96037172
No, I'm not

>opponent has a deck with an overpowered FIRE commander but a poorly built 99
>if I play my strong decks, I either crush them before they can setup or disrupt them to prevent their commander from going off

What do

>>96037181
Dilate, I guess.

>>96037181
Just play your best deck poorly.

>>96037149
Oh wow I'm making a red green deck and something like that would be fantastic for me to trim fat with, sweet

>>96037166
>If you don't give a fuck about the tone of Magic and just think it can be raped as long as you like the particular position MaRo is giving it to Magic's dripping cardussy then why don't you just fuck off?
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Magic is a set of mechanics to me. If I like the art or flavor of a card then cool but I don't give two fucks about it otherwise and haven't since I started in 2003. I don't care about Omnath as a character I care about Omnath as my favorite commander.
So in short, no I won't fuck off and I'm glad my existence upsets you.

>>96036573
This is such a retarded post FUCK. Smash is still a fighting game it didnt do anything new to them besides make the characters recognizable for outside reasons. Mobas and rts are entirely different.

>>96037160
And he makes them Skeletons for pic related.

>>96036815
>no mill

>>96037188
>Smash is still a fighting game
not according to fighting game players, aka people that refuse to believe that 90s game design where you have to lab for days to learn combos and counter them is outdated
>Mobas and rts are entirely different.
they are very similar, mobas just make you control one hero while rts making you control several units
now make a wild guess why nobody makes rts games anymore

>>96037004
I thought the rules change required a power and toughness on the front to be used as a commander?

>>96037187
>Magic is a set of mechanics to me
Insectoid mindset.
>So in short, no I won't fuck off and I'm glad my existence upsets you.
That's great anon. As a big fan of the YouTube drama community I love to hear that you're an unrepentant faggot and this makes me really excited for a potential content slop UB.

>>96037153
Desecration Elemental, Death's Shadow, Leveler, Eater of Days, Kuro Pit Lord, Phyrexian Dreadnought, Phyrexian Soulgorger, Void Beckoner (especially because you cycle it to give Deathtouch to one of your skellies), Hunted Horror, Kalakscion, Lord of the Pit, Liege of the Pit, Nyxathid, Rotting Regisaur, Waning Wurm, Abyssal Persecutor, Grinning Demon.
Then it's as easy as any kind of tribal buff like Cover of Darkness, Banner of Kinship, Corpses of the Lost, Patchwork Banner, Three Tree City, Skeleton Crew, Death Baron, Gisa the Hellraiser, Accursed Duneyard, etc
And don't forget, he's not making a copy or anything, he's grabbing it from the grave, so anything that cares about cards leaving your graveyard counts. Teval's Judgement, Tormod, Soul Enervation
There's a lot of room to play with that ability
>>96037199
ayyy good catch

>>96037209
I have no idea who any of those are, but I'll play them if the cards are good.

>>96037209
>And why not, right? After all this game is just a set of mechanics.
You're not going to get me. I truly don't care. If they printed a MrBeast card that I thought looked really fun I would get a copy and build a deck around it.
I truly do not care about Magic lore. I read books and watch movies for stories. I play magic for gameplay.

>>96037223

Your roach king simps for 3.14squeak and he only flipped on him once it was obvious SKG was gonna win. True to his roach nature.

anon, how much money did you spend on your current deck?

>>96037226
>I truly do not care about Magic lore. I read books and watch movies for stories. I play magic for gameplay.
It's not about the stories or the lore. It's about the identity.
No one needs to read that shit to get it. You look at the art of a card and see something happening, or read "werewolf" in the text and you just get what the setting is supposed to be.

Then faggots like you come along like
>actually I'm a vile insect in human form and the identity of this game doesn't matter to me so it might as well not have one.
You would play the game regardless. People who give a fuck about the game's identity wouldn't, and your insectoid fucking brain just says it's fine to devour things that matter to other people as long as you consume enough matter to lay your fucking eggs. It's genuinely vile.

You wouldn't like it if the next 5 years of set were all focused on storytelling with the trade off being that the cards are literally unplayable. But that isn't a problem because you can have thematic cards with good text. Meanwhile what you want actually does come at the expense of an aspect of the game that matters to other people and you don't care so long as you get what you want.
Actual fucking insect. I'm in disbelief.

>>96037213
Ya but you're the ripper here. Thats funny

>>96037293

>>96037293
>Meanwhile what you want actually does come at the expense of an aspect of the game that matters to other people
All I want is fun cards tho. I liked Duskmourn because I like horror. I wasn't pining for a set that referenced movies I like but I was happy when it happened. You talk like I'm personally emailing WOTC telling them to do Aetherdrift, Karlov Manor, and Duskmourn. I assue you I'm not.

>>96037285
I don't know, but its going into my three dog deck

>>96037309
If I put a bestow creature on three dog and I sac it the tokens don't become auras, do they?

>>96037308
>Aetherdrift, Karlov Manor
it was hotwheels and cluedo that sent the emails btw

>>96037308
>All I want is fun cards tho. I liked Duskmourn because I like horror. I wasn't pining for a set that referenced movies I like but I was happy when it happened.
Yes faggot, and as long as people like you exist to signal to Wizards
>BZZZZ BZZZZ there is no line you could cross, feed me more movie references and ads BZZZ BZZZZ
You are degrading the quality of the game for people who do care about that shit.
>You talk like I'm personally emailing WOTC telling them to do Aetherdrift, Karlov Manor, and Duskmourn. I assue you I'm not.
Like they'd give a fuck what anyone SAID to them. You're signalling with your wallet and it drowns out the people trying to counter-signal.

>>96037309
this thing

>>96037312
I don't believe so.

>duskmourne and karlov manor both use morph
>completely different abilities though :^)

>>96036723
Brash Taunter/Stuffy Doll players keep fucking winning holy mother of god

>>96037323
They were desperate to find a way to make morph good. Didn't manage it in Karlov giving it fucking ward, so they took another shot at it. Still don't know that they succeeded.

>>96037314
You should probably just stop playing the game. You lost. Get over it.

>>96037332
The best way to make morph good is to make the creatures on the other side good. Part of the reason why morph is ass is cause there's basically no surprise factor to it, and creatures are rarely less expensive when flipping them. If playing a morphed creature + flipping it was ALWAYS cheaper than hardcasting it or they always had a flip effect that made it worth it, it might be useful. Similarly, if there were more creatures with morph that were good, it might not be a situation where you play the one creature with morph in your deck facedown and everyone already knows what it is.

One of my pods has decided to proxy bracket four decks, so I can finally cut loose with decks I've been wanting to build. It's a little hard deciding where to start.

>>96037334
Yeah yeah faggot you say that every time because it hurts your feelings when someone holds a mirror up to your uncontrollable consumerism.

IDK why lorefags hate UB and the new sets so much when the lore has already cracked the egg open with a multiverse it's so gay to be hating on aetherdrift when innstrad is just another discount lame ass vampire setting

how do you guys feel about game ending combos, i played a game earlier where my board looked like this and i somehow untapped with my hero of lavabrink then ended the game on the spot and someone threw a tantrum because i "did a combo that was unstoppable" and he grabbed his stuff and walked away from the table and just kept saying im a toxic combo player as he left the store

>>96037356
>bracket 4
who knew korvold was your waifu lol

>>96037360
I'm a big fan of not-Ancient Greece

>>96037361
Actual combos that you pull off naturally instead of infinite combos you tutor for? They're great.

>>96037345
Honestly paying 3 for bears is fucking terrible also. In Legions where literally every card in the set was a creature it still was shit because even though there were some creatures that were cheap-ish and had good flip abilities, it was almost impossible to accumulate a group of them large enough to actually have people leave one unblocked so you could even trigger it. If the actual morph cost was 2 and nothing else changed, only a half-dozen cards at most would be broken.

Other than that, complete agreement.

Far Traveler might actually be the card to justify playing Dungeon Descent

>>96037361
>11 mountains
>more or less 11 turns to win
>unstoppable combo
your opponent is a child

>>96037361
"I win the game" combos feel very boring, and like a waste of time to everyone except the guy who did the combo. I personally don't enjoy playing against people where the decks goal is to combo off turn 5 and instantly win. I think you can do fun stuff with combos and even make suicide a fun thing to do. I always have a way to kill myself in all my decks just to not sit through a game where someone is insufferable to be around

>>96037360
>IDK why lorefags hate UB and the new sets so much when the lore has already cracked the egg open with a multiverse
Not about the lore, about the identity. Already explained. >>96037293

>>96037374
i wheeled my hand for like the entire game and went through faithless looting and laughing mad while cycling my hand all game, and slowly put the combo pieces on board no one did anything, i assumed orthion was gonna get shot the moment i explained what he did then i proceeded the copy clive 5 times and wheel 50 cards and burned everyone for 150
>>96037391
manchild, i just joined a random group while waiting for one of my friends to get there, and the guy throwing the tantrum was playing voja, someone hit his voja with imprisoned in the moon and he got upset and tried to argue he can put it into the command zone because of that

>>96037205
>aka people that refuse to believe that 90s game design where you have to lab for days to learn combos and counter them is outdated
Modern fighting games have made it easier than ever for scrubs like you with button inputs, auto combos, and lower emphasis on long combos in general and yet you will still bitch and never play them while falling back on this lame duck excuse. Can't believe I'm reading fgc scrub shit in /edhg/ of all places.

>>96037399
honestly I think magic was in its death throes before the turbo consumerism Fortnitification and with the pandemic stopping all meetups for 2 1/2 years I think the UB stuff extended the games lifespan until everyone is sick of it like marvel even if it is just a hallowed husk of what it once was

>i win combos with helix pinnacle boring
>searching for combo pieces using diabolic tutor bad
>btw my deck nothing but spew tokens to kill everyone is completely fair edh gaming, besides my tokens are custom too!
>see no one ever complains about me gavin so don't you dare make me a GC

>>96037416
What is wrong with letting it die? What's the fucking obsession? 30,000 cards not enough to play with in your remaining years? Got to keep the content wheel turning? Better that a bunch of vapid funko pop collectors have a fleeting entanglement with the game you like, even if it means selling out everything that the game was, just to extend its life a decade or so?

>>96037417
gavin only adds stuff to the GC list if he's played against it recently

>>96037412
>Modern fighting games have made it easier than ever for scrubs like you with button inputs, auto combos, and lower emphasis on long combos in general
wow you make it sound like they did that out of the goodness of their heart rather than them admitting that 90s design is outdated and that gamers nowadays don't have the luxury of wasting time labbing when shooters give the same adrenaline rush while respecting your time lol

>>96037441
>muh antiquated genre!
money talks baby
nobody wants to waste their whole life like knee mastering make believe fighting when actual fighting pays more, either master a more respectable game like chess where at least people bathe there or play shooters and respect your time, truth hurts but fgc is poorcity for a reason
oh and aesi and tatyova should be GCs too

Anon we're both in the edh thread, we took a wrong turn somewhere if the goal was to play with hygienic people.

>>96037467
nobody is saying edh is the pinnacle of gaming mastery so naturally people don't bathe here
but if you're going through the effort of mastering something might as well be with people that take baths is my point

>>96037467
I feel like showering and wearing deodorant is a basic life thing to do and shouldn't be excused just cause autistic adults are playing a card game rated PG-13

>>96037048
Are Rooms better Dungeons/Initiative? Also if you want a mess, look at the cloak/disguise/morph/megamorph/manifest/manifest dread cards.

>>96037505
rooms aren't the same thing as dungeons at all, they're split card enchantments.

A dungeon should be made up of rooms

On average about how many board wipes can you have before the other players call you a nigger? I was thinking of putting Worldslayer in my Voltron deck

>>96037527
Heh. Nice niche mechanic commander you got there. Unfortunately my stax deck is prepared for anything.

>>96036723
>any other target
Big gay. Should be any target.

>>96037574
On average? Per game? About 7

Looked into buying a few collector packs but everything is already scalped dry. Scalpers helping me avoid bad decisions. Bought a booster box for 65 tho, not totally safe.

>>96037574
2 per turn

>>96037658
>NOOOOOOOOO I HAVE TO HAVE TWO CREATURES ON THE BOARD (IN RED)

>702.61a Split second is a static ability that functions only while the spell with split second is on the stack. “Split second” means “As long as this spell is on the stack, players can’t cast other spells or activate abilities that aren’t mana abilities.”
>702.61b Players may activate mana abilities and take special actions while a spell with split second is on the stack. Triggered abilities trigger and are put on the stack as normal while a spell with split second is on the stack.
If you are a cool aristocat I'm here to inform you that Phyrexian Altar and Ashnod's Altar can sac a whole lotta things and stack a whole lotta triggers on top of a split second spell that nobody can respond to

>>96037669
Worst case scenario you can target an opponent but targeting itself to hit each opponent would be a nice option.

>>96037703
Incidentally, split second does not stop special actions.

>>96037703
>mfw opponent resolves sephiroth and the for entire rest of the game there's no counterplay

>Enters the battlefield, sacrifice 10 lands
>Becomes a 30/30
>Look at the top 30 cards of your deck, put all lands on the battlefield triggering a ton of landfall
very splashy card

>>96037755
me in the middle

OK so Mina and Deen, Wildborn state that I can play an additional land on each of my turns, and Zell states the same thing. Does that mean I can hypothetically play 3 lands a turn with them both in play?

>>96037761
Additional means additional. And if you add Azusa and Exploration you could up that to 6

Here's the Sliver card. What is a hivepool anyway? Why are these slivers made of silver or something? Wonder if we'll get any answers

>>96037767
That sounds amazing. I fucking love ramp bros

>>96036174
>activate only as a sorcery
Man, they just couldn't help themselves.

>>96037207
Did they? That would probably be a reasonable change but it's hard to tell what they're thinking with these rules changes.

>>96037136
That's kind of cool. Even if removing abilities really limits somethings it also opens a few doors for the downside creatures. Besides that, he's effectively the best skeleton commander just from the get isn't he?

>>96037169
>the humans need to be kept alive to be scared
Did he feed off their fear like Pennywise then?

>>96037849
Valgavoth did, yeah. It was really dumb because they had to come up with a reason humans would live and breed in a universe where they are literally preyed upon constantly in a nightmare hellscape.
They supposedly had "safe zones" where people could live safely, but they still had to venture into the house for food and shit

>>96037291
Estimate from Moxfield. A lot more than i thought it would be. I've been playing and upgrading this one for nearing a year now so that price really snuck up on me.

>>96037534
I've seen some try to build her. I can appreciate the effort but she really needs a lot of help to get going. Feels like she'd be better as a supporter than a lead.

>>96037770
That seems promising. Even outside of a Sliver deck.

what do we think

>>96037914
Too expensive. Would not run in either my gargos or Shelob decks,

>>96037930
it's free removal in mono green anon

>>96037914
The vigilance is nice. But with how this is built it needed more to be better than any of the other green bite spells that are cheaper or have some better upside.

>>96037948
There's spells that cost less but don't have the "bonus" and there's spells at the same price point that have a better bonus.

>>96037770
>6 mana
It's shit outside of sliver decks and changling decks.

>>96037361
Combos are boring and for midwits BUT if it requires 10+ mana to pull off, you aren't just durdling for pieces, and you aren't tutoring for its tolerable

>think Gideon, Champion of Justice looks really fucking cool on his art
>his effects range from "it's ok i guess" to actually incredibly fucking detrimental as hell in the midrange deck I'm building
>mfw he looks rad enough that I'm putting him in anyway and am going to dick over my own chances of winning when the voices in my head tell me to pull the trigger on that -15 loyalty effect

>>96037986
>the card with affinity for slivers is bad outside of decks that don't have slivers
Are you legitimately retarded? Like with a diagnosis?

>>96038080
See
>>96037891

>>96037914
Vigilance on instant speed is kinda useless. The only usecase that comes to mind is playing it at the beginning of combat in Marisi. And even there I wouldn't play it. Might as well play an equipment that gives vigilance or an actual good removal spell.

>>96037361
Infinite combos are so easy to assemble in EDH you're basically sandbagging if you don't use them.

>>96037914
Its novel but ill stick to Beast Within

>>96038098
Fair.

this seems pretty spicy

>>96038143
Deez nuts

>>96038143
Specific color auras and abilities become better over time as more gold creatures get printed to be commanders

>>96037914
That art looks like a 40k Ork attacking a tempestus scion

>>96038176
Shit, not the scion I meant the Vespids. The other ones from that Kill-Team box. The bug dudes.

When should I cut ramp? If my curve is fairly low, my commander is 2 mana (in Rakdos colors, say) is it even worth running like 6 pieces of ramp or just have more gas instead

>>96037986
6 MANA???? FOR AN ARTIFACT???? OH NOOOOOOOOOOO
>welds it into play
HOW AM I GOING TO AFFORD 6 (SIX) COLORLESS MANA????
>untaps mana vault with voltaic key
IT CAN'T BE DONE
>masterfully transmutes a treasure
HAS ANYONE EVER MADE 6 MANA BEFORE????
>activates metal worker
HOW COULD ONE MERE MORTAL EVEN THINK ACHIEVING 6 MANA IS POSSIBLE?
>polymorphs an artifact
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>uses 3 different sol lands to add 6 colorless mana to my mana pool
*passes out and shits my pants*
>bystander uses reprinted S&T to clean up my diarrhea

>>96038186
Never. More mana, more spells per turn.

>>96038186
Even if your curve is low, ramp means you can play even more of it when you need it.
Just make sure you also have draw to get the cards to play

>>96038186
It depends on what you want to execute. just because your deck doesn't have high CMC doesn't mean you don't want to blow a ton of mana every turn. Especially if you are trying to play and draw a bunch of cards in quick succession to maximize triggers or something. I'd say six pieces of ramp is fine so long as you have the draw power to cash out on that promise. And don't forget to account for how many tax abilities people run in the format where having a couple extra mana up can save your ass from the fire.
The other benefit of lots of ramp is it means on later turns if you get it you can just use the ramp incidentally without really disrupting whatever you were planning to do or just pitch the cards into some other engine.

new EoE spoiler, what are we thinking?

>Krellix, Blenking Archengine {3}{U}{R}
>Legendary Artifact Creature - Construct
>4/5
>Whenever Krellix, Blenking Archengine enters the battlefield or blenkers, you may scrindle target artifact or creature you control. If you do, flexorize it and draw a card.
>{2}{U}: Glimshift - Until end of turn, Krellix gains hexproof and may recurvate as though it had flash.
>{1}{R}, {T}: Thrindle Krellix. If you do, exile the top two cards of your library. You may frasticate one of them until end of turn.
>Overtune - Whenever you snarkle a noncreature spell, you may untap Krellix. If you overblinked this turn, instead uptwizzle it and deal 2 damage to any target.

>>96038216
It's shit

>>96038216
bomb in limited

So Lander tokens have made Rampant Growth and similarly costed basic tutors totally irrelevant and obsolete. Very cool design Wizards! Love the long term prospects for this game!

>>96038098
I mostly want it for key word decks. Something that makes two colorless creatures with haste and double strike is something that could get some value.

>>96038230
>5 mana to do the work of a 2-drop spell, all for a bonus of a 3/3!
I would rather run rampant growth than this

>>96038230
How many lander token makers have we seen so far? There's this and I believe there was a simic one that was shared recently.

>>96038230
You are delusional if you think this is as good or better than rampant growth

>>96038242
If there's a colorless card that makes 'em they'll probably become relevant.

>>96038236
>>96038242
>body and colorless land find artifact token for creature and artifact synergies and the option to just sit on the token for as long as you want

>>96038230
>5 total mana to fetch a single tapped land
Pass

>>96038250
>posts an even worse card
I wouldn't play this even in mono-red

>>96038250
wow, SIX mana ramp in red, incredible

>>96038270
It can be done over two turns. Red can also do some stupid stuff with it being an ETB. IT's not good by any means but people might find a use for it.

>>96038276
>at the beginning of hte end step on your next turn, sacrifice that token
It's shit

>>96038276
Or you just run sad robot.

>>96038291
>>96038250
robotbros? did we get too cucky?

>>96038290
Yeah I'm sure there isn't going to be tons of synergy you'll be getting from saccing artifact tokens on top of all the shit that already exists lmao

Chat, question for Golbez. Regardless if doing cheerios or not your opinion on running Encroaching Mycosynth to make sure you never brick your ability to surveil?

>>96038431
Seems like a good idea honestly, just make sure you have some protection which you should in blue anyway

Green was cradle, this is college, will we see a white sanctum?

>>96038502
university i mean FUCK

T: Add B for each swamp you control

>>96038502
I'm guessing white sanctum. But that begs the question what is red gonna be?

>>96038520
tap to add mana equal to damage dealt this turn maybe?
If it ends up just being gorge I will laugh

>>96038520
T: add red for each instant and sorcery in grave

>>96038356
you do the gain life and then do the mill

>>96038502
>>96038520
Black one will be Cabal Coffers or for each creature in your graveyard
Red one will be for each damage you dealt this turn.

Noob question: if I swing with a Myriad token while I have a token doubling effect like Parallel Lives out, is that token created attacking as well?

>>96038596
The tokens are created tapped and attacking, yeah.

>>96038585
>Black one will be Cabal Coffers
bitch, you wish lmao
it's way worse

>>96038736
Have we seen it yet? I just meant it could have the effect of it, not that it would be anywhere near as good.

All the station/spacecraft cards are actually so fucking bad. The power level of this set must be insanely low considering these cards dont even seem playable in EDH

>>96038746
Station is kind of a bad mechanic. Especially in multiplayer where tapping out your board for anything other than killing someone gets you killed in return.

>>96036174
Holy fuck they really have just added safety values to everything in this set. Why is the ability at sorcery speed?

>>96038741
Not that anon but no, not yet.
My guess is mana for creatures that have died.

>>96038356
Tasha’s Heinous Laughter, and take two end steps.

>>96037004
The 20+ on this card is never going to happen considering it's sorcery speed. This is just a shit Thran Dynamo you can use as a commander

>>96038746
I'm trying to wrap my head around why all of them seem to have some double digital requirement to turn on. You're begging to get btfo after tapping down your board for two turns in a two like a doofus. Usually I think dies to removal is a pretty weak argument but it's impossible to ignore how badly you get fucked for dumping resources into one of these. Have they just not revealed the reasonable ones yet?

>>96038754
>>96038741
>>96038736
>>96038585
Why do you all act like we haven't seen it yet? It's card draw.

>>96038781
Probably because I had not seen it yet
Good to know it's a worse Tower

>>96038781
Holy fuck this is bad.

>>96038781

>>96038780
I just don't know how you can fix it. Half of them dont even do anything when you play them unless you also tap 6-12 power of creatures into them.
The other ones are lands that come into play tapped, requires 12-20 resource investment at sorcery speed and even after that the ability of the land has a cost to activate

>>96038781
Surprised they didn't just go with the original cycle

>>96038796
Maybe there are a fuck ton of proliferate effects we haven't seen yet, but even then I'd still be skeptical.

>>96038811
Probably because it'd suck.

>>96038811
Serra my beloved...

>DOCTOR Eggman

>>96038821
Dr is his first name, it's complicated.

>>96038796
>>96038780
Eh, I might add the blue one in Mishra and maybe a few more space stations. Mishra and the warform already tap for 9 power, the rest is easy to do and the payoff good.
12 is a lot, but this is also the format where people flood the board with tokens regularly. Many green decks should also easily be able to get them online if they wanted to.

>>96038780
Even the mythic ones revealed so far are awful, so it seems unlikely

>>96038821

Why the flying fuck are these shitty planets eating up a rare slot when they’re tap lands that require you to waste attacking just to juice their shitty, non-free ability? They aren’t even legendary. Put that trash in uncommon at least

>>96038250

>white Sanctum
I would honestly be shocked. They didn’t do a sanctum retread in either Ixalan visit, despite us getting Cradle and Academy variants there, and the set doesn’t seem to have much of an enchantment theme to support it. I’d also be vaguely annoyed, since the deck I have that would want a second Sanctum doesn’t run enough creatures to consistently turn that on.

>>96038186
Ramp is largely a meme in edh. Hit your land drops consistently thats much more important than ramp

>>96038356
How the fuck do you require assistance for a Hope deck

>>96038746
This but the exact opposite.

POWERFUL

My dumb, useless wife…

preorders for the EOE precons are about $50 converted in my cunt
do i pull the the trigger on one of them? i don't have any commander decks, i play paper/mtgo modern and i've been thinking about getting into some more casual formats too and the people i talked to about it at my lgs play mostly with precons with upgrades here and there

>>96039457
Seems pretty good to me man I don't know

>>96039457
fussy

>>96039478
The proliferate one will probably have decent cards at least

>>96039497
You can count abilities or cast from the graveyard cards for blue on one hand.
She’s decent in the 99 for dimir I guess.

>>96039566

>>96039583
You’re right, they weren’t showing up in my search. Let me reconsider.

set development sure cooked up another banger.
WW3 token doubler on a creature? what a banger. with warp? now thats some spice.

>>96039566
Youre bad at magic.

Is warp one of the gayest mechanics ever printed? Really annoying cause the rest of the set seems enjoyable but its just a powercrept evoke pretty much

>>96039854
I quite like it but I can understand the hate.

>>96039845

>>96039891
I’m expecting Sliver Hive

>>96039854
It goes to exile where the only way to get it back from is to pay the overpriced normal cost. With evoke you can at least still reanimate your creatures at a low cost.

>>96039904
Esper got too much fun enchantment related stuff so I dont see why I would play him for enchantment.
legendary matters is a deck type I dont like. Skip for me.

>>96039918
with these artworks and text boxes? i wont be holding my breath. you can get a fake old border right now on the cheap.

>>96039928
on top of the best evoke creatures being effectively free

>>96039944
Didn’t even know the price had plummeted, shit had gone up to $50 when the precon came out

>>96039854
>but its just a powercrept evoke pretty much
I bet you question why first strike in double strike both exist at the same time as well

It doesn't matter that on paper it's more powerful than evoke because the CMC and costs of the cards are going to be rebalanced accordingly to that

I think it's my favorite new mechanic in a long time

>>96039904
I like him

Been mulling over a "flash tribal" deck for weeks, but most Jeskai and Azorius legends feel lame to me. Then WotC goes and drops this right in my lap.

>>96040019
>etb but.... TWICE!?
You have terrible taste anon and your attempted argument is not analogous. You're dumb im sorry.

>>96039928
So true every color is awesome at reanimation and grave hate doesn't exist! The graveyard is a much safer and better place to keep cards you dont want being interacted with. And lets not forget warp is printed with FIRE design in mind and the cards will simply objectively be better. There are 5 genuinely playable evoke cards and hardly any of them see play.

>>96040208
>>96040208
>>96040208
>>96040208
>>96040208

>>96040211
given how awful Station is, I don't think "designed with FIRE in mind" is the best argument to apply to EOE mechanics.

>>96040227
Station is very good though
>noooooo if I tap a single creature NOT to attack ill instantly lose the game wtf wotc!!!!

>>96040243
>a single creature
great, see you in ten turns when your 6 mana artifact is actually allowed to do something

but yeah I'm sure your turn 8 Stuffy Doll+Dawnsire combo will really pop off

>>96040304
Mr no games there isnt always a good attack :) Mr no games you can have an excess of creatures that wont quite break throigh to do anything but can still be put to use. It's not hard. You're just bad at magic and thats okay.

>>96040310
>there isn't a good attack!
>better tap down blockers

>>96040304
>Tapping attackers/blockers every turn
If I really do that, I'd supercharge these things multiple times over. Fuck, many creatures aren't even supposed to experience combat.

>>96040319
