Nobody gives a fuck about collector value because Konami crashed it all. You retards continue to eat shit and have the worst product design in the entire industry and you're too stupid to realize how hard you're being double dipped when tins come out, especially with the current ones reprinting the only good cards in even less accessible slots.
And yes, the game is fucking dead. Locals all over have swapped to alternative games and stores are mostly done with the product line after a year of dud sets and predatory double dipping. Regional and higher tournaments get more attendance because you can't play at your local shop. I know because my region (which used to be an anchor of the East coast) has such shit locals attendance that regionals are the only place people can get tournaments that aren't Edison.
Power creep is pernicious and completely unchecked. The banlist is the only check and it's used to sell product first and foremost. If you can't see how badly you're being hosed by power creep in the span of a single year you're not worth talking to on any subject related to gaming.
Anyway, Yugioh sucks ass and people don't care about it anymore. I don't even care about the context of this post but I will never miss a chance to shit on that dogshit game. EDH.

It makes more sense for a rotating format, when I played modern, I played with mostly the same cards for years on end. I loved holding them and looking at them.

Elaborate. What cards pull this awesome shit off?

>>96461882

>>96461555
>product sucks
If it means anything the community at large completely agrees about products, myself included. Nobody (player, collectors, etc) likes it and the only sets to do well in recent times have been the Rarity Collections because they follow a model that's actually enjoyable to open, gives you fun foils, and the card pool is good. While just about every other product does in fact suck.
It seems to be that product has continued in this model and only gotten more stale because it's not supposed to be opened by regular people, it's designed for singles sellers to open a ton of and make up a singles inventory.
The community blames the rat bastard Kevin Tewart and his fucking Clown Gas TM.
>tins
The whole tin thing we see every year. No matter how many times people whine about "But it's high rarity in the tin too!" it's met with a sub $20 pricetag a month or so after they drop. That really doesn't mean anything.
>dead
Just as >>96461578 says. Master duel has basically absorbed most of the local level players for one reason or another like time, selective social interaction, youtuber coverage, money, and so on. Only reason edison is still in paper is because konami is retarded and won't make proper translation of edison. Which is good IMO, they should keep shooting themselves in the foot here and stay away.
That all said, this doesn't mean the game is dead. The players still exist, just transfered.
I feel like Arena did the same thing for standard players, standard locals has basically all dried up and it's exclusively EDH now.
>powercreep
We all know when powercreep is happening, welcome to games and being at the whim of suits. We all suffer from it. Does magic getting these bans not concern you too? Or do you need more reasons to buy Vivis?
Besides that the best decks are there because of floodgates(prison) cards printed eons ago and are the cards people want banned. People are enjoying the format otherwise. Or is enjoyment a foreign concept for you?

>>96461923
Willbender and Kheru Spellsnatcher make some fun stuff happen. Icefeather Aven and Ainok Survivalist provide utility in the slot that normally would be taken by instants.
It's not a perfect strategy. It's just fun to load my board with traps and see who wants to challenge them.
>>96461930
You can reduce the cost of casting your colorless creatures, but there is nothing in the entire game that can reduce a morph cost.
Getting free flips isn't impossible though.

>>96461945
the point isn't flipping them if you build Kadena that way, it's getting free carddraw and value.
Missy works in a similar way as a morph commander

>>96461966
>Another dumpster fire in the rare slot because WotC thinks this passes for removal in any format

Ok card but trash art and webslinging is a garbage keyword ability

>>96461882
Still pissed face-down cards/morph got no support in dragonstorm

>>96462025
They got a bunch of tools in Duskmourn though

>>96462027
And in MKM sure but I was really expecting tarkir to be the big capstone for a series of new FDC support and was surely disappointed. The set was fine and the support from Murders and Duskmourne was very good but still

>>96461923
Don't just think about morph creatures. Think BIGGER
>>96461945
>can't reduce the cost of morphs
I'm going to assume you mean the flip up part of morph costs here. While that's technically true, it's also not. Etrata Deadly Fugitive grants an activated ability to all your facedowns to flip up for 2UB which can be cost reduced with god ol Training Grounds or is just straight up cheaper than whatever it normally is.
As an added bonus, if you have face downs that can't normally flip up like a sorcery it lets you cast them. This also lets you cast big sorceries at instant speed if you can set it up.

>>96461518 (OP)
You know what's better than an Avenger of Zendikar? Like 7 of them with their own ETBs.

>>96461935
>The whole tin thing we see every year. No matter how many times people whine about "But it's high rarity in the tin too!" it's met with a sub $20 pricetag a month or so after they drop. That really doesn't mean anything.
It means something when the format changes like it has over the past few years. No promos and massively inflated set lists (400 last year and 450 this year with high concentrations in the upper rarities vs. 270-ish a few years ago with most of the set being in low rarity to avoid diluting the pool) make this a worse problem than even a few years ago when the tins actually would tank cards down to $10 max. They've fucked their model even worse than it used to be. It used to be that initial release was unattainable but tins would mass reprint in a way that was actually designed to be accessible before certain cards were banned a few months later. Budget players waited a year to get their cards because staples were $70-100. But now staples are still $50 after the tin reprint so relief only comes when Konami is ready to blow their load on another Rarity Collection that further punishes anyone who bought in early. Say what you want about WotC being jewish (they are), they aren't shy about making sure cards people want get into circulation through rewaves of boxes. Barring mythics being playable in every format all at once (Sheoldred, Vivi), cards are pretty affordable. If I wanted an Etali I didn't need to wait for the Phyrexian Invasion Mega Tins for Etali to be reprinted.
>Or is enjoyment a foreign concept for you?
Saying this as a Yugioh player is wild. The game has been liquid dogshit for so long that any time it's slightly better than unplayable you retards lap it up and act like it's the second coming of Edison. No MBT, I don't believe this format you're going to be calling toxic in a week is actually epic and skillful because you play whole turns on the opponent's draw phase or whatever you retards think is good this week.

Strictly speaking, Bruna is your Commander. Bruna is also Brisela so Brisela inherits the Commander quality, but the Commander of the deck is Bruna.
Unless you picked Gisela, in which case you are wrong.

Ah yes, truly brilliant
>Barring the cards WotC doesn't reprint, cards are affordable!
WotC would never do the shit Konami did where they instantly reprinted Emerald Tortoise and RBoS in a tin after over 10 years because they became meta-relevant and rose above $0.10.

>>96462165
The question was my favorite commander, not the actual commanderof the deck. Brisela is only the commander when she's in play. Brisela is my favorite.
It's a white reanimator deck with Bruna at the helm, yes.

>>96461698
Why would it make me mad? I'll never sit down at a table with you. Just understand it's a tranny card played by trannies

>>96461714
you're on thin ice buddy

>>96462093
"Bad" reprint policy is literally the only thing that keeps people buying cards. There would be literally no reason to buy cards if WotC printed them into the ground every time they became valuable.

I'm going to put Hot Dog Cart into my edh deck and I will lose games because of it but I like to have fun.

>>96462172
Magic sets get rewaved multiple times to attempt to meet demand without the need for Masters sets. When cards get stuck up into dumb high prices it's because demand overcomes the supply. In Yugioh the supply is low enough that demand always outstrips it to make otherwise completely worthless products have their chase card (the only card in a set worth playing in Yugioh's case). This is because they know what cards are going to have demand based on the OCG play rates and rarity bump accordingly. Yugioh products are so fucking awful there's never a reason to rewave them unless they're something like a structure deck or special box set like the legendary decks. They don't do unlimited prints anymore. In fact, unlims were such a rarity that Power of the Elements getting a rewave was genuinely surprising. WotC is going to be printing Final Fantasy play boxes until the license runs out and because those boxes have value other than just the chase card people will be opening them and adding population to the playable cards. .

Do any of you have any interesting proxies you use or made yourself?

Just made this one, gonna build a full Miku themed deck at some point when I get some ideas on how to use some of the secret lair cards

>>96462201
5 seconds to disprove good print policy. $200 card man they're really trying to reprint this one.

>>96462191
What if someone needed a new card? Or a new player? What a retarded statement.

>>96461882
Is pretty cancer to play against ngl it got a lot of interaction, but it takes a lot more time for them to get around to do what they mean to do.

>>96462205
I kind of want to make Through the Ages style proxies of the scion twins as Will, Scion of Peace and Rowan, Scion of War because WotC missed the most obvious reskin possible.

>>96461546
You love gay dragons and are a better author than WotC.

More cards have been downshifted in rarity than moved up. And vast majority of the ones that moved up are old cards relics of design. Or in the instance of something like Rhystic, it became 3x better instantly just due to the nature of the most common format

>>96461945
>It's just fun to load my board with traps and see who wants to challenge them
yeah okay homie you've convinced me. Kadena's officially on the build list

Don't worry guys they downshifted Shivan Dragon so it's okay they upshifted cards people actually play

My friend gets genuinely pissy about boardwipes. And not durdlefuck boardwipes windmill slammed just because someone had it and they have no way to end the game in a timely fashion, like FIRE ALL MODES Farewell turn 8 Timmies with nothing in hand but a basic and a 0/2 creature. He massively overextends and refuses to hold up mana for - or sometimes to even include - protection, he just shits out his entire hand onto the board and is always flabbergasted when he's (rightly) seen as the biggest threat and all his shit gets wiped. There's been plenty of times where he's dumped Mana Crypt and Sol Ring and Signet turn 1 and has fucking 6+ mana t2-3 dumping out game ending threats before most of us even have a board. Last weekend he mega ramped into Canopy Gargantuan t3 with his faggot rock package and had Great Henge and Defense of the Heart ready to go to vomit some other nonsense onto the board too when I blew all my resources to hit the board (that the rest of us barely had anything on) with a Planar Cleansing and he nearly flipped the table and quite literally wouldn't shut the fuck up about how "gay and stupid boardwipes are" and how they "kill the spirit of the game" (lol) and "are too cheap and easy to play" (fucking double lol) all fucking night.

I otherwise like the guy but he's insufferable when it comes to even mildly competitive shit. He can't stomach losses or not dominating whatever game he plays. He even whines about single target removal all the time too.

>>96461565
I've seen more than a few that gets nasty, they usually are the same old geezers that build decks with little to no regards on how slow, excruciating, or inhibiting their decks are to the three other people in the pod. If you intervein in their jerk off session they will target you, but not enough to put you out of the game.
Maybe I'm the one sperging out, I try by leaning back to show that I've mentally clocked out of the game if their deck is preventing everyone but them to really be part of the game.

>>96461565
Yes lmao you have NO IDEA how many people run zero interaction/protection, so when you Doom Blade or Imprisoned in the Moon their commander, they flip the fuck out

I really can't blame WOTC for that. It's the fanbase that don't want potentially interesting build around commanders unless they have DRAW CARD/MAKE MANA WHEN YOU DO THING THAT HAS 500+ CARDS WORTH OF SUPPORT FOR IT ALREADY.

Spiderfag looks like it will be a fun draft set but I wouldn't want to pay for any since almost all the cards look like dogshit on top of it being capeshit.

>>96462637
Such as? As far as I know only spider man and dr who are based in a real world, cant imagine there are lots of examples. Modern mtg at least.

>>96462649
Oh assassin's creed too I suppose

>>96462644
When Marvel collected the entire run of the comics where he became Captain Universe into trade paperback format, they dubbed it "The Cosmic Spider-Man Saga", since the name has been used on trading cards, toys, etc alongside Captain Universe.

>>96462657
*since then the name Cosmic Spider-Man has been used on cards and toys in tandem with the name Captain Universe.

Every character I even give a shit about is EDH unplayable or a fucking draft common

>>96462661
But only if the Host depicted on the cards is Peter Parker.

>>96462616
Because there are over 700 different "Spider-Man's" in Marvel "canon"

Can't tell if this would be based or a rehash of Punisher vs Spider-Man or Kraven vs Spider-Man

I feel like it was really unnecessary to give this card a name that locked it behind the gates of copyright for eternity. You could have just named it "Me no lucky" and mentioned "parker luck" in the flavor text.

Naw, I still need to have flyers on the field to cast her, which usually cost mana themselves. Most of the time, the creatures that help cast her total mana cost equals about how much she costs, save a mana or two. So, it less cheating and more mana pre-payment.

>>96462665
You mean like in the MTG story? I thought no one cared about the story characters. Always figured people preferred trying something like "Random Innistrad Guy" and finding themselves fans of him because the play style was fun.

>>96463028
You say "rough time" like it's not just literally impossible to play through good boards if you don't have multiple breakers and or handtraps.
Especially on Master Duel with shit like Apollousa legal and in every deck.

I have a monk deck where every monk (and many of the cantrips) have been altered to depict cute monk girls rather than the fuck-ugly art way too many of them have (fucking hell Third-path Iconoclast is ugly). The art of the deck also as a story running through it. Basically, I have Narset, Enlightened Exile as commander, and the cards show her getting exiled (on Path to Exile) by Taigam, also now a cute monk girl (and featuring on cards like Supreme Verdict and Inspiring Ultimatum), and then their rivalry and fighting. It was a very fun project to make, and one of my favorite decks.

Even with the interaction with commanders, you can ask your table if they would like to keep it interesting where you will notify them when the commander is involved such as an attack and from that point they will then know. You're playing the game to have fun right?
At worst if the table is a bunch of tryhards it lets you dodge at least one spot removal.

My (outdated) deck is maybe a little meaner than that.
I should really take a new image.

noob question?

Its turn 2 and you have 2 lands in play, and in your hand you have a rampant growth, and a Arcane signet.

In a vacum what card should be played?

>>96463495
Do I have a 1 mana play for this turn's rotation?

>>96463495
I'd say Rampant Growth/Farseek/other2droplandramp because your opponents are extremely less likely to interact with a land by your next turn

>>96463505
>Do I have a 1 mana play for this turn's rotation?

No

>>96463495
Depends on how many colors your commander is, but generally land ramp is stronger than artifact ramp.
If you need multiple colors the signet is better though.

>>96463508
Rampant Growth

>>96463402
Because I like Gholdengo. That's it really.

>>96463495
Land ramp is the strongest thing you can do in commander since MLD is taboo. Rocks are for colors that can't do that.

Commander is a format about consistency, despite what retards will tell you. You always have a certain dude or thing in your zone that you can (almost) always cast and having value like card draw available like that is good and helps you see more of your deck, which means you can see more of your win cons. If you just want to play draw pass simulator be my guest

>>96463969
>What's with wasting card slots on these fucking retarded "food token, but draws a card or something" cards?

They do it because Hasbro forces them to print 5000+ new cards every year and they have maybe 500 good ideas per year. At best. The sheer speed of production means almost every card design has to be a bad design.

Magic will never be a good game again until it returns to "3 sets a year" structure (and bans every card printed after 2012).

>>96464099
>they don't have good ideas
This is a spider-man set, and there are going to be good spider-man shit left out, yet this makes it in. In the FF set, they made room for Instant Ramen, yet there are mainline game protagonists that don't even get their own cards. Them not having ideas can't be right.

>>96463193
Judging from just these three, this deck looks terrible lmao

>>96463495
Neither. I play a good 2 drop that actually develops my board state instead of waiting until t4 to start the game.

Rampers should just agree amongst eachother to start every game at 4 mana. People need to stop wasting the early game.

>>96463495
Rampant Growth first so you can get the piece of mana that needs to come in tapped first and out of the way. Arcane Signet comes in untapped so it's more workable on later turns.

>>96464581
Shilgengar is cool. I should probably rebuild him with a new eye since I originally built him to turbo reanimate big cards that required specific answers from the graveyard way too early. Stuff like Serra's Emissary and Avacyn. Stuff that snowballed too hard for lower power tables but not nearly good enough for high power.

>>96463353
I'm honestly surprised we don't have more effects like this. Effects that are clearly Yu-Gi-Oh inspired or from other cars games.

>>96464660
Yeah I'm thinking of taking a more typical aristocrats angle with the reanimate as a flashy finisher option

>>96464481
if only he had black

>>96464720
I'm waiting for more blood token support in his colors. Having to use angels as blood bags to set up his big flashy full grave reanimate is cool but a lot of the angels just kind of suck and don't contribute anything. The Kaldheim angels are the coolest part of the angel package outside of your sticky finishers which are better as turbo reanimates. I might try to focus on assembling Brisela on my next build.

The big story of the Honolulu Pro Tour wasn’t Kazuya Mitamura’s $40,000 victory in the finals. The big story happened in the first round, where a young boy known only as Hans did something that is causing many to call him a hero.

Hans’s game was looking unwinnable. He had a negative life total and was kept alive only by his Platinum Angel. His opponent had just cast a Molder Slug, threatening to remove the Angel — Hans’s only artifact — at the beginning of his next turn.

But when it got to that next turn, Hans would say a word that would put the whole series of events in motion. A word that would send ripples throughout Magic history. A word that would cement Hans’s legendary status.

Hans stared at his opponent and said, “No.”

His opponent was taken aback. “Judge!” said the opponent. “He’s refusing to follow my Molder Slug’s triggered ability.”

“Refusing?”

“Refusing.”

“Is this true, Hans?”

Hans nodded.

The judge said, “I have to issue you a game loss, Hans.”

Hans pointed to his Platinum Angel. “I can’t lose the game,” he said. And with that, he proceeded to his draw step, undaunted by the judge’s ruling. Then he skimmed through his deck for marked cards and put those into his hand as well.

“You’re violating multiple game rules,” said the judge, “in addition to ignoring my ruling, and I am issuing a game loss to you.”
cont.

A flurry of applause burst through the room. Judges began high-fiving each other and giving Marcia hugs. “Unfortunately,” Hans said, “the concession has no effect since my Platinum Angel is still in play.”

It was two weeks into the game when the military showed up. “Hans,” came a voice from a helicopter. “We have you surrounded. If you do not concede immediately, we will open fire.”

Hans looked up at the helicopter, over at the tanks, and across the street at the snipers. He was still pointing to the Platinum Angel, as stoically as ever.

To this day, a sleeved Platinum Angel remains embedded in Hans’s tombstone. Hans may have lost his life that day, but he never lost the game.

>>96464836

>edh thread
When you are the one who forced the greater magic community into the discussion (who is looking down on commander plays if not the rest of the mtg community), unaware that the greater magic community agrees with the "ramp is unnecessary" view of magic. The only decks that should ramp are the ones that play bombs and need them out on a timeline that matches normal decks.

You have been logucally dismantled do not waste aynmore of my time.

>>96464906
>>96464901
You guus invoked the greater magic community not me, do not get pissy that they are now part of the discussion.
>things that aren't good in normal games are good here!
Not really doe. Some cards definitely got a chance to shine in EDH such as rhystic which was a 25 cent card until EDH became big. But no, by and large, you want to approach the game the same. Youre welcome to state what you think changes in game philosophy.

>>96464867
Signets, Talismans, and Fellwar Stone are good enough 2 drops that they still see play in cEDH.

You ramp in EDH compared to other formats because you have 3x the opponents and cards to play around. You need that extra mana in order to keep pace with those extra opponents or cast larger spells that have a larger impact

>>96462205
I occasionally chop up some cards to give preferential treatment to certain artists

>>96464944
Cedh runs every rock they can cause they run 28 lands anon. Are you suggesting the average commander player should also run 28 lands or are you honest enough to admit cedh has an entirely different metagame.
>>96464960
This genuinely makes absolutely no sense. Everyone has 3 opponents to play around. Why on earth would you need to ramp when everyone is facing the same battle.

You people were clearly taught to include ramp in your decks when you started playing and then simply never thought about it again.

>>96464960
You also have a guaranteed card to ramp towards that benefits from excess ramp since it costs more to cast if it gets removed. This alone is enough of a reason to divorce your thoughts on ramp from how it behaves in 60 card.
>>96464972
The point is that they clearly don't see dropping 2 mana on a rock early as unplayable or else they'd remove the simple rocks that aren't combo food for early game threats. Even when forced into the most toxic and fast form of the format dropping a rock has major value in color fixing and extra reach on subsequent turns.

Lost against another Timmy this week, this is doing a lot to my mental health

>>96464972
To say you’re being intellectually dishonest would run the risk of accidentally inferring you’re intellectual. 28 lands implies a low curve, but all that fast and extra mana must also be doing something for them.

I don't care that she's overdone, 4 color slop or artifact faggotry. I get to play my favorite esper stuff with red recursion and removal. I also really like KCI as an archetype.

>>96462588
Got a list?

>>96465018
Maybe you're not as good as you think

My friends said they won't play with me if this funny metal man is in my deck. They said he's toxic. Is he really that bad compared to other win cons?

>>96465108
People don't like infect and he's an optimized infect wincon due to having natural trample while being annoying to remove due to indestructible. Try to find something else to move in and out of his slot.

>>96465018
>I will have fun adapting to new strategies, even if they invalidate my boomer mentalities

>>96465108
Its not that bad, you need to generate a ton of mana or cheat it into play. I'd be a little salty about getting hit by a hasty blightsteel wearing lightning greaves that got cheated into play but that's just the nature of the game
replace it with Magister Sphinx

>>96465045
List?

>>96465108
Tell them that he's infect, not toxic

>>96465108
No, you friends are pussies. Tell them to run more exile and -X/-X removal. Anyone that can't sense when blightsteel is coming is a retard, especially after the first time.

>>96465108
>not playing theft.dek and killing you with it

>>96465108
I dislike all 0 iq wincons
Same reason I hate craterhoof

>>96465017
Again. When a cedh player plays a rock it is doing two things.
1. Compensating for lower land counts
2. Acting as rituals essentially
You fundamentally do not understand the difference between cedh and edh and think things are analogous. They arent. The scenarios they need rocks and ramp for do not exist in normal edh games.
>>96465040
See above. Also wrong, cedh curves are pretty much the same as average edh decks now.

>>96465108
Your friends sound like gay losers who hate fun.
This is one of the coolest cards in the entire game, tell them to suck it up and run some exile removal.

>>96464972
>Why on earth would you need to ramp when everyone is facing the same battle.
Because you want to be ahead of your 3 opponents, not "on pace". Are you looking to just fuck around or are you looking to win?
Your post is dripping with "I watched some youtubers, who are for casual EDH, say ramp is bad and now I'm going to pretend like I have a deep knowledge on the matter."
It's perfectly fine to opt out of it and play in a more casual way. But you don't need to attack people over it and pretend like you know anything though.

>>96465179
>The scenarios they need rocks and ramp for do not exist in normal edh games.
They use the 2 mana rocks the same way as in casual. They're not rituals. They don't go positive on their first turn. The act of going up a mana on subsequent turns has the same type of value in cEDH as it does in casual, but in casual you have more turns to tap and less efficient spells to cast meaning the actual value is higher.
A ramp spell or mana rock is almost always better than a Baleful Strix on 2 in EDH.

>>96465108
Oh man, so anyway I swords it.
Your friends are extreme bitches, blightsteel is big and scary and should be be and scary. If they can't deal with it they should get better at the game. It either has to be hard cast way late into the game or it has to cheated out in a telegraphed way

I have already disclosed at my pod that i will hyperfocus on whoever plays Spider slop cards, i dont care the status on the game, i will bully any marvel fan out of my games

>>96465226
"Dies to Doom Blade" isn't even a good argument for threats that actually die to Doom Blade. Exile removal is more scarce and bounce only sets it back for a turn.

>>96465229
Bring it on bro I've already got half a dozen spiders rocking mega counters and protection in hand.

>>96461630
When im at my LGS il hear this guys name the most, including my table as well as people in the background at other tables. Dudes quite popular

>>96465242
If you can't deal with an indestructible permanent you'd lose just as hard to avacyn, which can be played far sooner and cheated out more effectively
Pure skill issue

>>96465259
Avacyn doesn't have infect.

>>96465223
Except they dont what an absurd argument. A cedh player needs 8 mana by turn 2, a casual ramper is never getting there and their decks arent set up for it.
>not rituals
Someone doesnt watch cedh content! The vast majority of rocks are tapped once maybe twice.
>>96465206
But if everyone is ramping no one is ahead lol. Like i said, you were clearly taught to include ramp but never considered why or if its still necessary.

Instead of ramping, just develop your board!
>everyone goes 10km/h
>but I need to go 20km/h what if they go faster!
And now everyone is going 20, and no one knows why. If everyone is ramping you arent changing anything. Actually brain dead lol

>>96465153
Most recent pic is outdated. I dropped the artifact taplands in favor of the multiplayer duals, dropped the mycosynth vandalblast wincon and the fast mana+keys+Artificer's Intuition stuff. Artificer's Intuition is a sweet card but it's too U intensive for a 4 color deck.

>you get upset they craterhoof you

people like this exist sadly enough

>>96465335
don't forget to add a couple red-friendly copy cards like cursed mirror

>>96465273
2 cost rocks are only tapped once or twice but they have value because they add reach to combo turns. This is my whole fucking argument. They add extra reach. The Timmy who wants to play his snowball commander on 3 or 4 instead of 5 is seeing value in ramp just the same as a cEDH player getting Rhystic on the board a turn early or having enough mana to execute a wincon on 4.
>But if everyone is ramping no one is ahead
Variance in casual mitigates this. Perfect symmetry isn't going to happen often and if it does it just means everyone is getting to the stuff they want to play earlier and the higher cost spells they're ramping to will be what causes asymmetry.
Give me some examples of what you think is a turn 2 board development that is so applicable to most casual strategies that it's worth discussing over something as universal as ramp.

>>96465338
>Wipe the player's tokens

Putting the shit in schizo
I didn't realise it was that time again

>>96465315
I don't need to. There are plenty of other Saffi players that exist RIGHT NOW that don't use or need Prime Time. If you need ONE CARD for your whole deck to work, it was never good and you are bad at the game.

>>96465273
>But if everyone is ramping then no one is ahead lol.
To keep with your analogy, if everyone is going that 20mph (ramping) and you think you're epic and contrarian by going 10mph (not ramping). Where do you think this leaves you?
This also assumed that every single person is ramping. Which by variance and intended play is not always the case. Only you can do what's best for you to win.
I agree you don't blind include ramp, you consider your wincon and enviroment of play and determine if you need it.
In cEDH you do it to win, in casual EDH you do it to cast their several Scrimblos for 7 mana faster.
Again, you're pretending to know things you don't actually have a depth of knowledge about. Stick to your casual EDH youtube videos so you can parrot their opinions in the comments and suck them off there.

>>96465310
wincons I like obviously
But more seriously I'm being facetious with "0 iq", I just dislike craterhoof because I find the play pattern boring to play or play against. Just, have a wide board -> win does not interest me. Craterhoof just happens to be the most prominent of that type of effect.

>>96465474
I want to see people work for it. I don't even mind combo wincons if the combo is something I haven't seen before. Novelty goes a long way in casual.

>>96465108
Are they red and/or blue players? Every other color has counter strategies for it to be an issue

This is probably the worst designed set in years, possibly decades, and I'm being genuine when I say that.

>>96465488
>Blue
As if blue doesn't have bounce and stun effects to stop him from attacking

My first and favourite commander, went through so many changes I had enough wizards to make several other decks

The "free if you play your general" cards still really bother me. Did player's really need more incentive to have their generals out? Isn't paying for mana a cornerstone of how mtg functions? I get fow/pacts have their own costs and id argue they matter, I just dont see having your commander out being anywhere near the barrier to entry.
But what do I know, I also quit modern because of the new evoke elementals.

>>96465518
They designed it as an Assassin's Creed-style set but because Aftermath flopped they had to make it at least draftable and have normal-sized packs.

>>96465518
They did a turn around and decided to make it not a mini set.
That's why all the useless fluff and filler. Though I'm 99% sure they designed that they designed that meme card first regardless

>>96465518
Almost everything in the set is laughably bad. Which I guess isn't necessarily a bad thing given how pushed sets have been getting and means I won't see many spidershit cards

>>96465535

Just woke up what stupid drama did I miss out on this time?

The power level of edh decks these days are too high honestly, i think I should only play in pauper edh tables.... If there was any

>>96465835
the casual format has been powercrept

>>96465835
Do you think Pauper is low power or something? As a niche format, the only people playing it are people who have fully optimized their decks for it.
I'm a cedh player and pauper is more cutthroat than cedh most of the time, it's just not as fast or interactive on the stack.

Is mono white really that bad?

>>96465779
I'm going to be honest. I would find a random, completely disconnected character art better than some of these retarded cards.

>>96465851
its probably the weakest mono colour but you can still make it work its just that most people arent willing to play to its strengths and instead just play white weenies or lifegain

Is it worth running null rod karn just for it's static ability? I guess he also synergizes with Mystic Forge, grabbing stuff out of exile.
>>96465851
No, its alright but you just have to be on board with it's gameplan of aggro and MLD

>>96465843
Yeah, every deck now is ultra competitive. There are no casual decks anymore
>>96465845
Maybe, do people play pauper Edh in your location for you to say that? And if that is the case, I'm talking about power level in general, when I played pauper and compared to modern, the gameplay patterns were way more interesting honestly, also people were more prone to experiment because the decks were cheaper.

>>96465851

>do people play pauper Edh in your location for you to say that?
We have a small group but I only play it casually.
>I'm talking about power level in general
It tends to be above bracket 3 casual edh but below the bracket 4 tables.
>when I played pauper and compared to modern, the gameplay patterns were way more interesting honestly
This is because of novelty. You're comparing the unknown meta of pauper to the known meta of modern.
To a precon edh-only player, standard might look more interesting and varied than edh because the emphasis on tempo and low cmc plays with little to no ramp is something they haven't seen before. It doesn't mean standard is a more varied meta, it just means the lack of meta knowledge makes it look more unique by comparison.
>people were more prone to experiment because the decks were cheaper
This is admittedly a benefit, but you'll rarely have a table where each player has a pauper deck they're just testing. Most pauper decks will eventually fit the meta of the format, because the restrictions breed creativity but the tools themselves are more limited overall, leading to more staples across colours.

>>96465775
I've been meaning to take apart a Narset, Enlightened Exile deck that wasn't very fun. This is a perfect commander for a lot of her cards.

I'm still baffled that brackets are broken into 4 as if they didnt know this was an issue

>>96466020
Bracket 2 and Bracket 3 are the same thing, but people just use Bracket 2 to refer to unmodded precons and Bracket 3 to refer to anything else.
I would really prefer to go back to power levels because everyone was a 7 but people would at least say if they're closer to a 6 or an 8. No one's going to say their bracket 3 is closer to a 2 or a 4.

>>96466020
>a deck with 4 game changers is automatically a bracket 4, regardless if it regularly loses to bracket 2 decks - because of theme, commander choice, overall power, a mix of all, or otherwise
it's just another overhyped and equally shitty piece to include in your pregame conversation. I'm more surprised how quick people jumped on ShitCs system

>>96466174
Sounds like the system does its job of keeping the lower brackets generally more affordable.
Just don't use 4 game changers, or if you really need them (you don't) then rule zero it.

Only socially maladjusted, friendless men with bad hygiene and a desire to engage in pubstomping power fantasies have an issue with the bracket system.
The reason it took off so quickly is because normal, well-adjusted people don't mind it.

>>96466174
If you're playing four GCs and you still lose to bracket 2s when you see the GCs your deck is a non-functional pile of cards. The GC list exists to bracket off cards that are such blowouts when played correctly that players trying to get a lower powered game have to ask you why it's in your deck since its only purpose is to run away with the game in an unsatisfying way. Except the tutors, free counterspells, and Crop Rotation, they're there for power and signpost reasons.

>>96466174
The worst part of brackets is that, in an unintuitive way, limiting GC cards makes people always want to include the max thereby actually decreasing diversity in some cases

You'll have WotC describing this, and then go on to say.
>Deck Building: No cards from the Game Changers list. No intentional two-card infinite combos, mass land denial, or extra-turn cards. Tutors should be sparse.
By the deck building guidelines, I could make an optimized 'bracket 1' deck, but it absolutely would not fit the dumb meme-pile slop they're presenting it as; 20% of the bracket system is dedicated to this confused identity, where Person A could go "Here's my hat tribal, where all cards feature a hat in the card art! It's Bracket 1", and Person B could go "Here's my gruul counters deck featuring 50$ cards like Bristly Bill! It's bracket 1 because it fits the deck building guidelines"

but this is further compounded when you look at Bracket 2, and it's described as being the 'AVERAGE PRECON LEVEL', which pigeonholes it into the expectation of a contemporary commander precon, but the only guideline difference from B1 is no 'chaining extra turns'. Like, the moment you start including shocks, and fetchlands, you're already beyond the cusp of an 'average precon', let alone once you start including expensive cards that manage to skirt the guidelines, but are still beyond reasonable for what to expect in a PRECON.

Every deck (outside of b1 joke-piles, and unironic b2 precon games) might as well be a 3 minimum ('Beyond the strength of an average precon deck'), if we're going by their descriptions that don't at ALL correlate with their deck building guidelines.

Bracket 5 forgoes any guidelines aside from banned cards, so it's effectively just ignoring the bracket system entirely, it exists outside of the ecosystem.

>>96466286
True. He usually plays low to the ground.
Getting a double rishkar's expertise, or two copies of apex altisaur, or even just two triggers from Etali Conqueror would be pretty sweet though.
Hell, you could toss it into an Etali Conqueror deck as a glorified panharmonicon whenever you bring him out of the command zone.

My issue ultimately lies with the terrible presentation of the brackets system from WotC; I would probably be less annoyed if they HADN'T advertised Bracket 1 as being memeslop piles, in addition to deck building guidelines flexible enough that one could optimize their deck in such a way, it could be - by rules - Bracket 1, but in spirit, be a Bracket 2+.
In a game where 'reading the card explains the card', WotC sure did muddy their description of what the spirits of a Bracket 1, and Bracket 2 deck are meant to encompass.

mostly because I was actually playing pretty consistently pre-pandemic.

outside of enchantment decks, it's pretty shit nowadays. every black pay 2 draw 2 card is better.

there is no way

>>96466845
This is around the time I reveal myself as the Big Bean Voltron player and I'll explain how you don't give a shit about any of that.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, so you full send that bitch and put the table on notice. Run some backup creatures that help you stack up your commander and give you board state. If they remove your commander, tough shit, replay them. You want protection, you want interaction, you want to manage aggro at the table.

>>96466928
its not a do-nothing card
it will draw you probably between 3 and 7 cards in a game. That's a pretty decent ROI especially if you are planning on playing enough table wide discard.

>>96466862
cards like Night's whisper and ancient craving are better, and also better mid to late game topdecks. Phyrexian arena is way too slow even for Timmy battlecruiser metas nowadays.

Why do so many of you guys hate blue/black cards here?

>>96466977
>ancient craving
r u sure? I always feel like ancient craving is a bad card when I draw it.

>>96466968
Posting MVP of my last win; it wasn't even commander damage, I Sigarda's aided a stack on to my Puresteel Paladin and Kobe Bryant here threw him in for 3(0) points.

>>96467003
my 2 non-hipster decks are
>140
>213
I have long suspected I have been falling behind the times and this phyrexian arena talk is only confirming that

>>96467008
damn that art is pretty cool

>>96467000
Ancient craving
>for 1 mana more than Arena, draw 3 cards all at once
>great late game top deck
Phyrexian Arena
>for 1 mana less, draw the same amount of cards as Ancient craving over the course of 3 turns
>terrible late game top deck

You decide. Phyrexian Arena isn't bad, it just isn't good.

>>96467048
Fucking love this lad. I ordered him in borderless foil over that win. My son is going to look his freshest and I'm never taking him out of the deck again.

>>96467066
You clearly have good taste
list?

>>96467003

>>96466970
>does nothing when it enters the battlefield
>next turn, you get the one card back you just spent on your previous turn
you are right, it's worse than a do nothing card. it's waste your turn to get even next turn. it's a 2 turn do nothing card.

you could argue tho that it will never get targeted/removed because it's so shit

Aetherborn inherently have no gender. It's part of their 'biology' as sex less energy beings. Take meds and stop letting trannies live in your head rent free.

Have you guys had experience with guys like this? I don't play with him, but he's such a passive aggressive little bitch that he'll sometimes just come over to my table and talk shit. I'm kinda venting because I tried to make amends and do some small talk, but he just reverts to being a cunt when another person is around. I just want to punch him in the gut, but that's a bad idea for tons of reasons. I guess this is kind of a rant post, it's like having a very dedicated, but learning disabled hater.

>>96465851
the trick is It never was. At best it was behind in terms of card draw like 10 years ago and mana ramp 20, but ramp is so cheap these days it's not really an issue.

>>96467187
>>is the same guy that literally teared up and begged to keep his hermit druid and disa because he's going through a divorce, instantly wins despite promising not to, then laughs and giggles
That's fucking pathetic bro. I do not understand people who get emotional and tilt from playing MtG. If you're getting your ass kicked or lose, that's just how some games go sometimes. What's the point of taking it personally and getting butthurt?

>>96466607
>what if we mixed birgi and ashlings
Genius design. Anyways im building this.

>>96467149
>>96467118
I love it. Sometimes get it out turn 1 or 2. Nobody every removes it. If it gets board wiped I can bring it back with Sun Titan. It gets cheated in with Academy Rector. Rather have that then Night's Whisper. I consistently draw 3+ cards a game when I get it out.

>>96467118
It's one of those bad powercrept cards like solemn simulcrum that was considered a "format staple" for so long that some people will never be able to let it go.

>>96467217

>>96466664
Did the usual list get updated or something?

>>96467256
My kefka deck was parnesse the subtle brush, at 1229 and replaced her. I will put all of your permanents ontop of your deck, lands first, and then I will kill you with black mage damage. then I will windfall and tempt with mayhem show and tell

sorry if you have no class or creativity dipshit

>>96467220
So common in modern EDH its not even funny anymore

Pick neither and get the fuck off my internet nerd lol

>>96467003
My highest is Hakbal at 18 but I haven't actually upgraded or played it much since putting it together. Teval is the only other one I own in the top 50 but I also want to eventually build Y'shtola. I'm kind of surprised a lot of FFXIV side commanders are as low as they are. Lyse Hext is a really low to the ground voltron commander, Ardbert is a really decent mid power legends matter commander, and Omega has less than 300 decks even though he's a fine Simic blink commander that plays well with stun counters. They can't feasibly be hipster commanders if they're from a UB set.

anyone here playing pauper commander?
my friend group doesn't come together often enough, so one friend wants to play some 1v1 on a budget.
I'm interesting in building Gut or the stupid bear, but no idea where to start. so far I'm just keeping average mana cost extremely low (<2.0) and cramped ~20 points of interaction into the decks.

>>96467217
>3+ cards
Anon... you'd be better off with literally any of the alternatives in that case.

>>96467289

>>96467187
I actually regularly run into the opposite problem
>some shitbag brony is running genericsimic.dek
>game 1 gets a lot of lands out
>gushes over how cool it is to get a lot of lands out like his deck doesn't do that shit week in and week out
>talks about how bad he owned us
>shits on my deck in particular
>game 2
>switch decks
>hit him hard with the land denial, kill him with hatebears.
>shrugs and goes back to talking about how many lands he had in play the game before and how bad he owned us
>not so much as a GG
at least your autist recognized that he lost long enough to be mad about it this prick just gloats for hours if he gets a win, which he does pretty often its not like his deck is bad or anything if anything its maybe overtuned for this lgs.

>>96467311
>>96467312

Actually that did happen one time, and he got permanently banned from the only wpn store in the area. :) dont lose your composure and say bad words that go against the rules like he did!

>>96467340
>hit him hard with the land denial
uhh.. what is this bracket 4 nonsense?!!!!!!!! you're not allowed to just mess with another man's manabase - you have to let me ramp.

>>96467370
I would take this response over acting like nothing happened at all
this fucker does this all the time, games he loses never happened games he wins are the greatest stroke of genius the world has ever seen

>>96467354
>actually it did and everyone clapped and also someone got banned from the store as a result xd
You sound like a child anon
>>96467340
>anon gets his ass beat
>whines changes deck and spite targets
>simicchad is unbothered
>anon seethes impotently online
Thread is a goldmine today.

>>96467340
Oh yeah? You wanna go up a level? Behold autism supreme. also that sounds super fucking annoying.

>75~ years old crackhead looking guy with no teeth
>roleplays as smeagol, legitimately creepy because it sounds like smeagol and he's a crackhead
>always plays the most powerful shit he can outside of cedh
>guy is banned left and right from stores constantly but gets back in
>gets extremely butthurt and will literally scream and try to fight you when he loses, but he's old
>once a month he brings his son, who he picked up from jail
>will smoke a bowl in front of kids and brag about how he beta tested magic and played dnd with garfield
>threatened to eat my balls(his literal words as he was raging) once when he cast armageddon+smothering tithe, and I force of vigor'd his tithe

>>96467410
that's bullshit but I believe it

>>96467420
I'll see if find mention of 'adam' in austin discords rq

>>96467410
again I think I would take nerd rage over literally pretending that the game he just lost didn't happen.
>what are you talking about
>I beat you guys
>don't you remember how many lands I had out?

>>96467340
So basically, you got your ass beat, seethed about it, decided to hard target the Chad, then seethed harder that he didn't give a fuck? Yeah, I like the guy in your story more than you anon, you really wanna tell stories like this?

>>96467506
He's somehow a sore loser and a sore winner.
I have no idea how you can read my post and reach any other conclusion.

Temur or Grixis?

>>96467566
Temur can land ramp so I like it more. Grixis is great at the extreme high end.

>>96467566
Temur had the prettier cards

>>96463210
Is this a powerscaling chart? What makes Gay Bolas poster so strong?

>>96467559
A sore loser is someone who mopes in their loses. A sore winner is someone who, despite winning, is somehow upset about it. He is neither, based off your tale. You're garbage anon, and he's better than you. Why not bask in victories of the past?

>>96467559
>Sore loser
>Doesn't bitch and moan at all about losing
Meanwhile you do.
>Sore winner
>Doesn't bitch and moan about how he could have won better or about the game despite win
Meanwhile, you're doing this now. Are you sure you aren't just projecting?

When someone does annoying stuff like land denial or counters i start "gassing" the room up until people leave.

>>96467739
Yiu do that regardless, Rajeesh

>found blade of the bloodchief for only 1.50€ on cardmarket
Don't mind if i do!

>>96467566
Temur is when the Simic value Engine suddenly has wincons. Despite popular believe Grixis being tryhard, its actually Temur in this case. Temur safe horny, easy to play and win with

>>96467653
He's the only known poster in the thread that's stronger than WotC.

Who do I build next?

>>96467943
Ur dragon

>>96467947
nah, I already have the dragon reanimator guy

>>96467687
>>96467727
A sore loser is be someone who refuses to recognize he lost.
Couple that with continuing to call people shit for losing even after losing himself.
You wouldn't tolerate it.

>>96467952
Bladewing? He's cool yeah.
You should try Rivaz as the commander on that deck instead then, he slaps.

>>96467961
Rivaz is the commander. Bladewing in there. Stuff I was considering for my next build: Windgrace, nu Tetsuo, precon Zurgo, Baylen, Ms. Bumbleflower, putting my Asmira deck back together, Minthara.

>>96467943
someone that can make use of exhume

>>96467298
Pauper Commander is based.Don't forget that ANY uncommon creature can be your commander, not just legendaries, which can let you play some cool cards that have no other home.

The format plays a lot like limited, so any way to break board stalls with evasion, force multipliers to make your random dorks lethal, and of course removal will be key.

>>96468085
The commander not needing to be a legendary seems like a mistake.

>>96468091
why? using legendaries was a flavor decision in the first place

>>96467003
why do you play markov? :(

>>96468091
There didn't used to be a whole lot of legendaries at uncommon. That's a relatively recent development.

>>96468120
I just like vampires...

>>96468329
yea, too bad there are 0 cool other Vampire legendaries to pick one. Such an undersupported tribe
