bracket 2 has several cathegories:
>C: precon and shitpiles that belong in bracket 1, but for some arbitrary reason retards demand them to be bracket 2
>B: upgraded precons and budget decks
>A: mechanically focused decks in the price range of several hundred $ that can effectively compete in bracket 3

I love this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe

>>96121313
A is a 3.

>>96121313
>I can compete with 3s but I wanna play with 2s
So you're a pubstomper? Is this supposed to bolster your position?

What's your favorite dual color deck?

>Commander didn't come in the mail today even though I ordered it back on the 5th
Standard USPS was a mistake

>>96121368

>>96121346
No, I'm pointing out the flaws of the bracket system. If a bracket 2 deck can absolutely destroy bad deck builders like you, then you should not try to argue what belongs in which bracket. Instead, you should apply the old power level metric:
>How many turns before your deck usually wins if not interrupted?
It gives newbies and people like you a realistic chance to figure out which pod to join, instead of just screaming
>"AIEEEE THIS IS BRACKET 2 HOW CAN HE SLAP???"
And before you come at me with "I don't play in pods I have friends", then why are you even attempting to have a word in this discussion?

>>96121410
Last mail strike here in Canada I had three decks sitting in limbo because those lazy fucks at the post office went on strike the literal day the package was supposed to arrive so it just sat in my local post office for weeks. Now it takes even longer because they're on strike again. And I can guarantee you they're gonna Shocked Pikachu face when everyone just says fuck it and shifts away from them.

>>96121368
I have enjoyed mycotyrant a lot, just make a ton of tiny 1/1 dudes that makes your commander a huge dude, while you get to play around with your graveyard

>>96121483
At least your cards will actually arrive. I just had a Diabolic Intent arrive (building an aristoc"rat" Totentanz and it seemed like a thematic tutor), but it was actually a literal paper photocopy slipping inside a sleeve with a real Island. It's so stupid and obvious I have to believe it's a resell and the seller got duped - but then how the fuck did they not notice when packaging it?
First time anything like this has happened. Contacted CardMarket for a resolution but no idea when/if they will respond.

>>96121410
TCGPlayer delayed my order, then when I got it three cards were missing. Had to reorder them but at least they refunded me the price of the cards and gave me some store credit, I guess.

Built my terra deck, enduring enchantments came in.

Opened a $100 demonic tutor…

There's no way that isn't some kind of fuck up somewhere along the line. There's no way whoever sold it really though they could get away with that.

Is anyone else addicted to cheating? I just like 8 card opening hands because I just want more lands

can I pay the {4} the the treasures the titanic creatures after an attack?
>deal combat damage with titanic
>sac titanic and create 7 treasures
>sac 4 treasure to activate nim deathmantle ability

>>96121618
I peak at my top card all the time. I've tried my best to stop, but I just can't. As far as cheating goes its on the low end, but cheating is cheating

reposting because I'm too tired to form coherent sentences
can I pay the {4} from nim deathmantle's ability with the treasures the titanic creates after an attack?
>deal combat damage with titanic
>sac titanic and create 7 treasures
>sac 4 treasure to activate nim deathmantle ability

>>96121632
Titanic and the treasures are created at the same time (because of the word "and" rather than "then"), so the treasures don't exist 'when' the titanic enters the graveyard since it happens at the same time, before the treasures exist and can be spent.

>>96121632
"sacrifice it and create that many treasure tokens" happens at once, so the treasures will be on the battlefield when deathmantle triggers, yes.

>>96121618
no, I never cheat, but I'm sometimes so lucky I feel guilty.
friend suffers from the same feelings, he once mulligan'd three times because he kept drawing bolas' citadel and sol ring (after he just won a game with the citadel), despite everyone urging him to just keep the hand and play.

>>96121583
Yeah, which is why I believe that the seller was just in a rush/complacent/doesn't care enough and didn't realise that he himself had been fucked over.
Like those old stories of rental dvds being returned with paper photocopies in them.

>>96121660
This card is great I only wish it wasn't 40k exclusive, might have to look for a proxy

>>96121655
>>96121660
guys

>>96121368
She's my favorite deck period

>>96121645
Ya probably you make the treasures as he goes to the graveyard, they resolve ultimately before hes actually in the graveyard in an interactible way (outside of replacement effects)
>titanic triggers
>it resolves, making you treasures and putting him on graveyard
>nims triggers upon seeing him put into graveyard and you have treasures to use as the titanic ability resolved

>>96121697
>Titanic is sac'd and makes its treasures since they happen at the same time
>Then the equipment triggers
>You have your treasures
First anon was correct

>>96121643
Just make a subpar commander deck that allows you to cheat

>>96121705
>>96121715
of the two first people answering his question, I'm correct. (you can tell which one I am because they give different answers and of the two I'm the correct one.)

>>96121368
It's a tie between the Shadow Wizard Money Gang and General Ferrous Rokiric's multi-color cards only deck but both are really for for me to play.

>>96121726
just play blue

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

>>96121368

>>96121645
You should be able to. The only weird part is that when it returns it wouldn't be a creature since it's a vehicle so you'd have to pay equip costs again later.

>>96121368
Filled with board wipes, everyone's unhappy but me

>>96121672
Yeah I hope you took some photos and sent in a request for a refund because that's either immense negligence or terribly scummy.

>>96121750
>balloon man

easily one of the bitchiest decks I've ever played against. we get it, you make tokens.

>esper sentinel, ocelot pride, faggot kid delainey, annointed precession

>>96121782
I think you mean "bitchin" decks

>>96121715
thanks, so I can use the treasures, got it

>>96121782
My deck literally has none of those cards

>>96121782

I don't even own any of those cards lmao

>>96121782
this applies to every deck that has a simple strat. like xenagos

I automatically look down on any deck that relies on 'doubling tokens' as part of it's core strategy.

>>96121260 (OP)
What's the matter anon? Why don't you like Loot? He's completely cute and adorable! I want to protect Loot! I want to cherish Loot! I want to buy tons of Loot-themed merchandise!

>>96121899
But that's... Not part of the core strategy

>>96121781
Yeah, I did, although I didn't video opening the letter because I've never had to deal with this before. In hindsight, that would have given me a stronger case.

>>96121899
Anon, you don't need to double tokens to play The Jolly Ballon Man. Did losing to Ballon animals really trigger you that much?

>>96121899
I look down on manlets

>>96121899
what about a deck that relies on "making tokens" as part of its core strategy?

>>96121901
Ok anon, there HAS to be a reason you're posting like this. May I ask why and get a coherent answer or will you schizo babble at me?

>>96121899
What about a deck that relies on a core strategy?

>>96121899
Doubling tokens isn't not the core strategy, it's just an extra possible win con.

>>96121899
wow, you're so cool

>>96121559
bumpin since I double tokens and use kefka(purphoros)

thoughts on inquisitive glimmer and funeral room?

>>96121951
I just need to express my love of Loot! He's the cutest little guy ever and I'd love a card for him that guards my board against counterspells and targeted removal! I hope we eventually get enough cards with Loot on them that I can make a whole Loot theme deck!

>>96121975

no matter how bitter the truth, you will accept it. all this token doubling shit is cancer.

>>96121989
random thought, what's your opinion on this card?

>>96121989
>no matter how bitter the truth, I will accept it. I had my ass WASHED by ballon animals

>>96121989
>Token doubler
>Only creates one token

>>96121988
There's nothing schizophrenic about loving Loot! I was super hyped ever since he appeared in OTJ! I wish we got that full aftermath set for it that way his appearance would feel more special. Imagine what a full Loot deck will look like after a year of Loot cards! I'm so glad WotC is finding the space to put Loot in every set, even when we go to boring theme planes like that gay dragon world.

>>96121988
anon you are being trolled, and poorly even.

Then you don't mind me using this Fox to double the Jolly Ballon Man's ability...do you?

>>96121960
Post deck, I don't believe you

>>96122195
How does that double his ability?

>>96122195
>>96122231
because token doublers cant even bring the right tokens, much less read or perform basic math

What copium is blud huffing? Nothing in this set looks 60-card playable.

>>96121745
Got a list for Shadow Wizard Money Gang?

How do I get shit out of my graveyard as Izzet?

Is Chatterfang still a strong commander?

>>96122252
I only watched a minute but he said it's good for sealed/draft

>>96122291
Depends what it is (what type of card) and where you need it (do you want to cast it one more time, or forever? Do you need it immediately?)

>>96122330
He still does what he does very well and there's been more and more tools to use being released.

>hilarious interactions

Made a faggot blue/white control deck eat shit earlier. Can you guess how I won and made the player SEETHE?

Relevant state:
Me, 3 life, palantir has 6 counters

>>96122357
I should've specified: How do I get permanents out of my GY as Izzet?

>>96122370
If you can't draw, doesn't he have to pick mill?

>>96122195
>card doesn't even discount balloon man's ability
>deletes his post out of shame
we all saw it

This is me
>>96121750

I didn't expect my post to cause such controversy. My deck doesn't even have token doublers, instead it's based around small utility creatures and combat/etb effects until I can summon something bigger like pic related and get his tokens on the board.
I don't ever run doublers because I see them as win more and too expensive

>>96122521
shut up token bitch

>>96121989
but anon doubling every set is peak design!

>>96122533
Kek umad

>>96122390
Again it's not as simple as "permanents out of the GY" because this could be something as simple as "Clear the Mind" or something as specific as Scrap Trawler.

Fuck AI. Seriously fuck it.

>>96122411
he can draw; opponents can't
>>96122370

>is 2 card infinite in the zone strong guise?

>>96122271
Sure, though I'll be honest, it's one of those 'bracket 4 deck that's actually a bracket 2 deck, propped up by Game changers and tutors' deck, so your enjoyment my vary. I know some anons try to build/stay within the various brackets but my playgroup doesn't care about them, so I had no reason not to make my shitty tribal deck as good as possible. Your mileage may vary:

https://manabox.app/decks/ipQLCYHBR7WI03wgXDBZBQ

>>96122574
why did you expect AI to know individual magic cards?

>>96122604
yes. all of them are completely index and open to crawl for everyone.

>>96122411
yep. Narset player can't have me draw a card, it's an illegal action. They ended up eating 30+

>>96122574
are you stupid?

>>96122533
DEFINITELY had his anus prolapsed my ballon animals, holy fuck.

>>96122630
are you?

>>96121559
Seems like you'd rather play a bracket 4 deck. If you want to get Demonic Tutor in I'd maybe cut Ruinous Ultimatum.

>>96121368
I like having a creature stapled to the majority of my spells, including my other creatures

>>96122574
Retard

>>96122621
on the complete contrary, I don't think it can
1: search for magic cards specifically, they just generally search the internet
B: be able to separate discussion about a specific card from any other card
III: be able to generate its own evaluation in terms of the game as a whole
d: have any incorporated knowledge of the game at all
1.5: I miss gA

you are equivalent to that child on reddit who asked chatgpt for a walkthrough of a resident evil game then couldn't figure out why it was telling him to look for something that didn't exist.
it does not know anything about mtg. at best it can shove words together that it knows are categorized as being near mtg lexically. you are lucky it made a coherent evaluation of (nonexistent) game mechanics.

>>96122574
lol reminds me of that time I asked one to give me a fast deck and it insisted on putting a glistener elf in it to "be a removal magnet" while the rest was just burn
>>96122837
some can but you have to be very specific with the wording how to search. it's like an evil genie version of google granting twisted wishes, you just have to know how to prompt and not be an idiot

>>96123080
>lol reminds me of that time I asked one to give me a fast deck

all I asked was which commanders users are talking about when they are talking about resilient commander decks. the results were okay but then disa out of nowhere.

Ok so what are staples for Commander decks? Mana dorks, fetch lands, mana rocks, good color specific cards (dark rit, etc)? I’m wondering about cards that should go in a deck despite the theme.

I feel like this is the absolute worst string of sets Magic has ever endured, and I say that having played through Masques + Invasion block which were notoriously low-powered. Detectives, Cowboys, member the 80s lmao, core set outta nowhere and vroom vroom. Bloomburrow felt like the most magicy set out of all of them, which is weird.

I liked Duskmourn.

>>96123204
fetchlands and untapped dual lands. mana dorks, rocks and the rest are always up for discussion.

>>96123287

What is, objectively, the most profitable game mode for Wizards, outside of Standard?

I've recently been listening to Amon Amarth's discography (in release order, of course) and I kinda now want to make a deck themed, at least visually, around vikings. Unfortunately the best commanders I can find are from the Assassins' Creed set, all the Naya ones.

>>96124871
Commander, duh.

>>96124876
I will never not be mad that they appropriated my culture with kaldheim, thing that would never happen the other way around to other culture influenced sets

>>96124759
Nah let that nigga push, AI tiddies over UB slop any day.

>>96124899

>>96124246
Mostly chill people. There's a couple of tryhards but everyone is usually pretty chill. Only store woth no paid entry either.

Most of the other game stores are paid entry and put packs on the line in some way, which leads to cEDH decks and environment with non-cEDH mindsets. That is where the real cancer is.

>>96124701
I don't understand your spoiler

I haven't purchased a single card since Bloomburrow

>>96124871
Draft is 12-24 packs sold for every event, thank god. I hope they never stop designing for limited since it's objectively the best format. Although with signposts and samey two color archetypes I feel they are close to "solving" designing limited formats, which makes them more boring and standardized. Sadly as of ROE they learned that unique and challenging limited formats scare away new players so we are cursed with the Innistrad model for every set, with varying degrees of success.

However Commander supports multiple business models that draft does not. Direct to consumer secret lairs, commander decks, and other special products are stronger when commander related. Plus the fact that Commander is where most of the players are, Wizards is just meeting the players on their own turf by selling towards them.

>>96124899
What parts are you mad about?

>>96121899
If tokens are something you don't like, why not run things to counter them? I think sacrifice mechanics are gay so I run a Sigarda, for example, even though I don't come up against decks that sacrifice often

Personally, I would run Skyclave Apparition over Grasp. Hitting a perm of each player sounds nice, but hard exile is just so good. Also I'd try to fit a Benevolent Bodyguard or Guardian of Faith in somewhere. I don't really think Lotho is that good, but that's just my experience with the card.

You're right! Limited is not a format that's "played." It's used as an excuse to keep mythic rarity around.

does anyone have tips on building an eggman deck, Im not surre how to do anything on my own and was just going to pull all the big synergy cards frrom edhrec. but that seems shitty and boring i want to swarm the board with my eggbots.

>>96125158

>>96125415
Why on earth would you want brakes in your voltron deck

>>96125439
He’s not wrong tho. No other format cares for draft chaff or opening packs. Singles is a second hand market revolving around packs being opened from limited players

>>96125453
>>96125467

It's 100% correct though, especially given that limited carries both of the digital platforms, and most assume they account for 30-30% of revenue.

>>96125521
*30-40%

>>96125490
>draft chaff
Standard, at its best, is a combination of the best block constructed decks.
Without draft, singles would be the ONLY market, and WotC would be free to happily print unique objectively powerful cards straight to secret lair. and Magic would reach its final stage of "pay to play"
The only exception would be tiny lootboxes, packs as as small as the AssCreed set, with golden chocobos and nothing else of value. Not even commons for the other best format, pauper.

>>96125521
Limited makes money, obviously. But having no appreciation for "draft chaff" instantly tells me anon does not play the best format.

>>96125493
The best part about limited is how easy it is to cheat.
Because the packs are open for the first time by you, there's a level of disparity and randomness that nobody can really dispute.
So this can't be done during the pre-release but it can be done on any subsequent events.
Simply show up with some limited bombs in your pocket already sleeved, and slip them into the deck that you build.
I'm not talking about rares or mythics, oftentimes in limited the most important cards are your Commons and uncommons, but very specific ones. So read up on the meta beforehand and have a good idea of what cards you want to bring and what Archtype you want to play.
It's basically impossible for you to ever get caught because of the modern composition of the playbooster, and also because in order to catch you they would have to deck check literally everyone and do some sort of tally of how many cards are present, as well as the cards people choose not to include in their decks and even then they can reach a wrong number because the play booster bonus cards mean there can be extra Commons uncommons or even rares and mythics.

So there's an extremely low possibility of you ever getting caught unless someone catches you in the sleight of hand when you slip the cards that you already own into your limited deck, and even then you have plausible deniability as long as they are sleeved appropriately.

Have fun in limited anons!

>>96125580
I like limited, but draft chaff is what it is, only useful in its format. No constructed format is going to look at a card that has 10+ strictly better options. If there wasn’t a place for these shitty cards like draft they wouldn’t get printed at all. Which might arguably be better if mtg only made cards intended for standard+ play

>>96125584
>implying every limited format is bomb dependent
>implying this type of player isn't quickly found out and sent to his next shop to get kicked out of
Not a limited player


Unironically, new players of /edhg/ go to a limited event. Go to many. It makes you better at card evaluation, and a better player overall. Three weeks of drafts and you will see your commander decks in a whole new light.

>>96125613
The alternative is that the pack has N fewer cards, where N is the number of draft chaff cards. No, the booster pack is not cheaper. This is WotC we're talking about.

>>96125646
I look at modern horizons sets as inspiration for draft-chaff-less packs. All of the cards made there tend to be strong enough to be played and they should if they want to be modern cards. And they just raised price packs for that.

You’re right about wotc, nothing going to be done without them considering $$$$$$$

>>96125676
This makes modern horizons sound really fun to draft actually
Imagine every card being good

>>96125676
Luv me Modern Horizons (for casual, draft, and commander, RIP Modern) but the obvious cost of more MH-level sets is format destroying power creep. Bear in mind MH sets are all draftable, it's just the gradient for "chaff" compared to a normal set is different. If every set was MH level, it would just establish a new "high and low", some of those sets being lower and some higher. Power gradient will always exist.

>>96125711
MH sets are based to draft
But some cards are still trash in that format even if they're "high power" for the rest of Magic

Mark I know that's you.

I just bring a block constructed deck to Limited and tell people that they're experiencing an outlier, and if they complain they don't really play Limited enough to understand how variance makes the format great.

Yep, he's oppressive into any sort of small creatures strategy since you can sneeze and wipe every token, tiny elf, and goblin off the board. He struggles against anything going too tall or against decks that aren't leaning on their creatures to win. It has a good number of combo routes to win the game since -1/-1 counters just sort of do that, but the Scorpion God himself is a reasonably sized beater you can use as a plan B to just start bashing someone to death if you can't assemble any of your routes.

I'll say that it badly needs new tech. A lot of the -1/-1 counter Lorwyn and Amonkhet cards have not kept up with power creep and you have to play some truly heinous chaff just to make your gameplan happen.

I drew an Opera love song from a booster and want to add it to my FF6 preconstructed commander deck.
It's probably not very good in the deck but it's an impotrant FF6 scene that I want in my deck.

Am I fucking myself over if I take one basic land out to fit this card?
There's 27 land cards in the deck, 10 of which are basic.
I'm new if that wasn't clear.

>>96126745
>There's 27 land cards in the deck
Jesus fucking christ, what??
>I'm new if that wasn't clear.
Yeah it's painfully obvious.

I could make better cards than what's in EoE.

>>96126810
Because you can make a shitty pun?

>>96126802

Is 27 a lot? It certainly helped me win a game tonight, had plenty of mana.

>>96126836
27 is extremely low. Unless you're running a shit load of 0 cost manarocks, that is an abysmal amount of lands. Decks start around 38, then you adjust from there

>>96126836
>had plenty of mana
(x) doubt. even my most ramping green deck has 33. i wouldn't dare go below that, that deck routinely draws 0-1 lands in the first hand

>>96126850

I see, I just checked and it also has 7 artifacts that give mana.

So given that the deck has less than 38 mana sources I assume it would be better to find some creature to replace?

>>96126836
The precon list unedited has 37 lands, it’s a high mana cost deck so you probably don’t want to mess with lands if anything maybe add some. Easiest answer as a noob would be to look at all the 2 mana cards in the deck and try to replace the weakest one that is sort of close to this card.

Print it you cowards.

>>96126898

I see thank you

I guess I must have missed some lands as I went through my deck.

Have you ever considered that we dodged a bullet by not getting Captain Jack Harkness in the DW crossover.
We were spared from the forced Harkness Test/hear me out theme decks.

>>96126897
>I see, I just checked and it also has 7 artifacts that give mana.
Yeah that's standard, but you need to draw the lands in the first place to do anything at all. And 27 is way too low. The only decks I see with less than 30 all run Mox cards and other 0 cost mana producing stuff

>>96126910

prisoner's dilemma has always worked out the best when everyone is still at around 20-30-ish life and there hasn't been any big political plays. someone always picks snitch and it makes other people mad.
misfortune has never been that funny, unfortunately. someone inevitably goes "but I don't wanna discard" and will always pick 0. that means everyone who wants to wheel picks 1. even if the person who doesn't want to wheel doesn't say it out loud, you can safely pick a number less than five and get the wheel. I've never seen it do more than 4. it really should have been that the person who picked the highest doesn't wheel.

>>96128658
If the highest bidder doesn't wheel then it incentivizes always choosing 0 making the card 3 mana literally do nothing.

>>96128670
that's fair, it's just annoying you can opt out with no consequences.

>>96128618
State your price

>>96128618
Instant litmus test as to who is a retard at the table.

>>96128618
I will not let you use this card if you cannot recite its text without looking at it.

>>96128670
anon, reading the card explains the card...

>>96128721
I am referencing a hypothetical scenario anon described where the highest bidder does not wheel, rather than what it does currently where the highest bidder gets burned.

>>96128732
you're right. my bad. have a cat!

The most cancerous phrase in MTG is "This ability triggers only once per turn"

>>96128788
It's close, but I still think "activate only as a sorcery" is worse.

>>96128713
Dunno, I've had people dumb enough to take this over and over again

>>96128788
>>96128794
Did someone say...

>>96128788
I'm waiting for a single brave man on the design team (intern) to print the phrase "triggers only twice per turn"

>>96128868
They did that, It went terribly.

>>96128868
>Made it twice per turn
>Forgot ability is also per-creature
>WotC's takeaway will be "twice per turn bad"

>>96128880
>>96128885
can someone post a third nadu

>>96128832
I'm surprised we don't have some version of that last effect on a legendary creature.

>>96128887

>>96128887
Only twice per thread.

>>96128887

>>96128887

More like Nadu Unhinged Wisdom

>>96128895
Wow, I forgot he was a 3/4 as well. He really was highly tuned.

>>96128921
They admitted the never tested him.

>>96128924
>we never tested the card
i've heard this way too many times ever since FIRE design

>>96128924
Same with Skullclamp. Same with Oko. Same with Marath. Same with.............

>>96128461
This is funny might have to make a deck with sickening dreams wincon

>>96128933
>Same with skullclamp
>tfw I had to sit there and explain to a friend why its so power when he was using it as an actual voltron equipment and the draw was just a bonus incase his commander got blow up

>>96128939
I have a friend so fucking bad a Magic that he says sacrificing 1/1 tokens is a bad thing and he'll never attach Skullclamp to them
>"but I'll lose them and can't block with them???????????"
And yes, he wins like.. once a month. Maybe.

>>96128924
I believe the story of Nadu goes that he was sitting as a filler legend version of pic related in the file for MH3 with the same statline as the Nadu we know today. Well, somebody got worried about this nothing burger because it granted shit flash like Prophet of Kruphix and quickly slammed through a last minute change onto him which was so late it never reached playtesting. So Nadu happened because someone thought a card that did half of what Prophet of Kruphix did was going to break the format.

If you think this sounds stupid you'd be right.

>>96128946
And then they printed this in the next set

>>96128946
It's not even the flash part that makes prophet bullshit

Post mana curves

Ooh no, I am playing Razia's Purification but that's another great one to have thanks.

Such innocence...

I tried exploring a bit of a new design - a spellslinger commander in jund colors. Fun?

>titanic price already tripled and still cimbing
SCALPERS BUY NOW

>>96129049
"spellslinger". The deck will just be all the landfall effects and cantrips.

>>96129067
What happened? Did they only just realize vehicles are going to be eligible to be commanders now?

>>96128982

>>96129067
TITANIC CAN'T STOP WINNIN

>>96125584
Kek. I’ve done this numerous times. I’ve won a few, and placed high and events. Even won an uncut sheet of uncommons once. Will do again especially at events that are multiple days.

>>96129067
gobble up the slop you fucking piggies

Saying slop makes me smart.

>balance is banned
>Magus of the balance is not banned

>>96129136
Cards that do not do their thing immediately are worthless. That's why wheel of fortune costs several hundred dollars while you can get a Magus of the wheel for 50 cent.

>>96129131
Not very slop money if you anon

>>96129145
wheel of fortune costs hundreds of dollars because it is RL.

>>96129136
>hey wotc when am i getting a card to reference

>>96129067
but the card is shit

>>96128868
Part of the whole issue with nadu is that because he's granting it as an ability to everything it triggers twice per creature which is both clearly not how they intended it but also requires insane bookkeeping. Triggering twice per turn isn't inherently bad, they just completely fucked up the implementation because they're utterly incompetent.

>>96129192
Pretty fun as a commander.

>>96129067

>>96128982

>>96129342

Maybe you should learn to deckbuild.

>>96129540
Won't make him less of an Aetherdrift uncommon

Wow just saw this card for the first time.

>>96129545
>3 mana
>good power for vehicles (probably could've just had the pilot text but this is easier)
>flying (duh)
>appropriate colors
>consistent card draw
>gives flying counters to any vehicle you want that isn't already flying
If I had a copy I'd probably build him, Tails is based something something e621 haha furries lmao

>>96129342
>>96129545
3 mana for card draw in the command zone, or making vehicles evasive doesn't seem too bad. I know Shorikai is better overall for azorius vehicles, but the whole flying vehicle thing seems nice.

Seems like a fun chaos(social) commander.

>>96129342
Synergize extremely well with the new Mu Yanling.

>>96129605
voting is very chaotic and funny in my experience, I kind of want to break up the galadriel precon and double down on voting instead of scrying

>>96129615
I tried running her in brawl for a while but she's shit

>>96128982
It's better than it looks, I swear!

>>96129375
based unless affinity

I want to make a deck with all of the cool robots we've been getting, but don't know what commander to use. Mendicant Core fits the theme the best, but I really want something with red that could support my creatures.

>>96128982

>>96129839
savannah lions looks on and cries

>>96129067
>tfw you bought it for 29p a month a half ago

>>96129839
Feldon? He can make copies of whatever robots you happen to have in the grave and him making constructs keeps the thematic feel.

>>96129861
Bears also share that pain.

>>96129873
>each player
Eh, this one is not as bad as it could be. Honestly, I don't really think it's even worth playing. That Frenzied Baloth is a lot worse.

>>96129882
wtf it's questing beastlet

>>96129882
Damn, I skipped right over that "each" Yeah, giving everyone a token rampant growth seems kind of bad.

>>96129317
Gondor calls for aid, and the Titanic shall answer

>>96129936
God, you remember when you used to make little headspace stories about how all the interactions worked between your spells and what kind of battle you were actually creating between you and your opponent?
I feel like that dream has been dead for a long time for me.

>>96129154
not true

>>96129998
>you remember when you used to make little headspace stories about how all the interactions worked between your spells and what kind of battle you were actually creating between you and your opponent?
I still do and it's better than ever

>>96130198
Is every battle the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny now?

>>96129998
It's why I ran a Gideon in a lot of decks back in the day, since I always had the mental image of him just showing up in a larger than life impact beside me before rising to a stab, ready to fight in a very literal sense

>>96130214
We do have Godzilla, Gandalf the Gray and Gandalf the White now, we're getting there bit by bit

>>96129067
>all this to make a shitty mono red deck with a commander that sacs it self for 7 treasures at best

>>96129998
eternal powercreep and the now new sets every two months did it for me

>>96129820
all gas. no affinity.

At best it's like 100+ treasures

I pretend I am a boat mage and that I am throwing explosive boats at my opponents.

New thread when

>>96128921
They admitted they just wanted to get sweatlord slop pigs riled up so they'd crack packs and they know the best way to do that is to create generic value commanders that Do Thing Draw Card. They tried to pretend that it was just an accidental pushed design because they didn't "test it" but they fucking knew they were creating a pushed piece of shit. Even played "fair" there's only one card in the whole game with the text "triggers TWICE a turn" and it's Nadu.

Nadu was 100% intended to be a pushed card set seller but they didn't understand the sheer magnitude of how busted it was and how badly it was going to kill every format but Commander.

My pod doesn't run removal. Give me ideas to exploit that fact. Commanders or decklists are welcome.

>>96124516
Cute art!

>>96130591
Voltron becomes viable
All the "exile until this leaves the battlefield" get way better.

>>96129615

Synergizes extremely well with Mother of Machines too. If you double his etb it means that you either draw 2 cards per vehicle or the vehicle first gains a flying counter and then you draw a card.

>>96130591
Asymmetrical stax effects like Drannith Magistrate

>Titania's command in a long more defensive game to exile two players graveyards and recover 80 fucking health
I can only get so hard

Magic: The "Gathering"

>>96130816
You can't pick the same mode twice mongloid

>>96130707
I'd like to keep my friends though.

>>96130968
:^) we have spider man and avatar to look forward to. Do you think we will have a pizza delivery card?

>>96131132
Please don't remind me.

Have they said anything about the what the digital set reskin of the Spiderman set is going to be themed as?

>>96131207
More importantly, will they be released in paper as well?

>>96131289
They said they aren’t doing UW anymore since they don’t sell well enough
>Take several years to reprint mechanically unique cards
>Make them either bonus sheet or take up a mythic slot in a box
>Act surprised when they don’t make a lot of money

>>96130591
An army in a can like Zada or Krenko. Something very cheap to build so you don't hurt fiscally when you have to shelve it when they do pack removal.

>>96130968
Then maybe some simple goad cards or boardwipes?
Like I'm sure Kardur is a lot of fun if they're heavy on creatures.

>>96131351
They hate my Zada deck with a passion. It's also not a fun gameplay. I built it more for random people who never played magic to be able to join us, as it's pretty straightforward. Is Krenko more fun to play?

I have archon of emeria out.

I have already cast 1 spell this turn.

Can I use flare of fortitude to sacrifice it?

>>96131951
>Each player can’t cast more than one spell each turn.
>I've already cast a spell this turn, can I cast another spell this turn?
Anon.

>>96131951
I really want to know what exactly goes through the "minds" of people like this. You can only cast one spell. For some reason you think casting for free isn't casting? Like do you not understand how words and definitions work? I really want to know the mechanics of what's happening here.

>>96132132
>>96132007
Anon may think sacrificing it as a cost gets rid of the creature before the cast. Little does he know that you only pay after you've started trying to cast the spell.

>>96131951
Only if you pay the super secret alternative cost of putting a finger in your butt for the rest of the game

How much equipment should I have in a deck that's less about going Voltron and more about value from things like Barrett, Gilgamesh, and Cid?

>>96129839
Eggman

>>96130956
reading the card explain the card, mongoloid.

>have nu narset deck with lots of extra turns spells
>take out all the turn spells and replace them with extra combat spells because my friends i play with dont like it
>everyone thinks its cool now
>feels like it plays functionally the exact same to me and is actually a bit stronger because it has an infinite combo in it now with sword of feast and famine with aggravated assault
not really sure how to feel about this but i still enjoy it i guess and at least no one complains anymore
