I've gotten to the point where my old collection is worth hundreds and I can just trade in whenever I want an expensive card

>>96547030
>giving up cards

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

Is this card good? I have one but it doesn't seem to fit in any of my green decks. I think I just don't have enough basic-searching ramp

Raw edh is comfy as fuck.

>>96547119
I think this card is specifically good in lands decks that run lots of rampant growth effects and run B2B or Bloom Moon and want to break the symmetry

>>96547119
You have 1% chance to pull this card. Assuming you have even 10 basic landfind cards in deck, that's more or less a 0.1% chance each game that you'll find this card and a land search card to use it with. You're also looking at needing at least 6 mana to pull it off, all to find a nonbasic you could find with anything like Crop Rotation or Archdruids Charm.

So to answer your question: yes it's a good card and you should include it in every green deck you have.

one has to make room for the other. who makes the cut in your deck?

>>96547165
Commander?

>>96547165
Siren is the better card

I know this is an objectively bad card, but it is funny to get Deathtouch + First Strike on Erinis

>>96547206
PLEASE run this instead

>>96547170
Flubs, the build lacks on hand interaction and protection aside von spot removal, because of the Hellbent Wheel spinny playstyle.
But I also face off against pesky flying Commanders regularly

>>96547119
It's great if you run lots of utility lands

I moved these decks onto scryfall cause you guys pressured me to stop using tappedout.

What do you think? I know sensei's divining top is busted (I goldfish'd with it and it's super fun) but melek feels bad enough that I p much need it. I'm proxxying it but it would be cool to own an original Kamigawa printed copy.

I would especially appreciate help refining the Melek deck. I would like to focus the deck's win con on commander damage and big swings with unblockables/flyers and clearing the board with copied removal. But prowess weenies Assault strobe and monstrous rage are OOS at my LGS unfortunately so i might have to proxxy them like I did for ponder and sol ring. Also not sure if Thran dynamo or Swiftfoot boots are necessary or if they can be replaced with something better.

I was using penny sleeves the other day and one of my opponents said the clear sleeves caused him pain. I carry all of my deckboxes (the cheap plastic ones) in a plastic back and use Shin Chan pencil case for my dice. the huge vinyl 15 compartment deck suitcases are kinda tacky to me

I don't even use this as a Stax piece, but regard it more as another very potent ramp piece that happens to also slow your opponents down

>>96546955 (OP)
Do punisher effects count? I like the more, my favorite of which is Painful Quandary.

I'm working on a Rakdos pile based around the engine of Toggo making rocks and Fransisco able to explore to gain more lands to make rocks + activate explore for card advantage. I also have an artifact sacrifice/reanimation thing going on in it. I already figured out equipping rocks to death touchers turns any creature in to a killing machine so I added Falthis. Are there any rakdos colored artifact synergies you think would work in this?

>>96547330
tappedout started loading really slowly/being shitty so I switched to archidekt, but only two of my 30+ decks are even online in any fashion

Let's talk about EveryDay EDH carry. What do anons carry their decks in? Do you use deck boxes at all or a tray system?
I use an old camera bag, it's just the right size for six deck boxes,then has pockets for a dice bag and token box. Front pouch holds dry erase markers for infinitokens.
For deck storage I have an old CD cabinet I got at a thrift store. it's the perfect depth for a deckbox and easy to get in and out of.

>>96547426
>he doesn't use penny sleeves only, that are a good 5-7% too big to comfortably snug the cards and that make the cards in the deck stick together insanely fast, to keep himself on edge via this self imposed sensory nightmare so you focus more on the game for more wins

the only thing performative here are my high performance meta strategies

>>96547524
This post really confirms it. Stop being so pathetically insecure

And here I thought I was autistic for double sleeving all my decks.

>>96547479
I fell for the meme and bought this token tray. The the plastic lid is warped causing my punch out keyword counters to fall out the sides. It's ok for more substantial counters.

I have 7 decks (might bump it up to 8), and I want to bring at least 4 of them with me at a time.

>>96547479
Dragon mattes and inners for the cards. Ultra pro satin tower for the box. A bunch of random dice as counters in the bottom.

>>96547479
My decks are in bundle boxes or split into deck sleeve boxes. The bag i use is one of those fancy grocery bags. Some are sleeved some arent. Adding 15 to every deck for sleeves and other unnecessary necessities gets boring.

playing sleeveless is based, it's a helpful reminder that your game pieces are actually game pieces rather than investments

>>96547554
You are, but not as bad as that dude that triple sleeved his shit and then seethed when his deck couldn't fit in his deckbox

>>96547602
Playing sleeveless cause it might be "based" or cause its a reminder that no one needs might be one of the most painfully cringe things I've ever read. The ONLY reason not to sleeve is laziness/lack of care. Anything else is performative and embarrassing.

>new precons release
>buys the fitting deck box, sleeves and playmat showing the face commander

has any of you artists ever done this?

>>96547600

>>96547694
now that I see her it might be time to take a look at picrel again. At her release she was a borderline unplayable meme build because there were like 4 good sagas in Selesnya. In the 3 years since they must have printed some better stuff

It has use cases but it's going to be best in 3+ color decks in which it will be harder to fit in. Idk if layers make this make your blood moon/harbinger of the seas asymmetrical however.

I just bought this and the fish one

Is not a good defense.

>>96547871
Never understood why it is banned and Notion Thief is a GC. Is the one extra mana cost that important?

>>96547524
I'd go through more penny sleeves than dragonshields
I just washed my first set again, good as new 15 years later.

>>96547908

duh. Also lotus petal tokens are broken.

>>96547908
It's like asking why is OG Emrakul still banned.

>>96547918
How do you wash them?

>>96547908
Hullbreacher replaces ALL draw, not just extra.

>>96547908
Mono color makes it easier to splash and it gives you mana.

>>96547122
I bet you fuck your bfs ass raw too...

>>96547935
Hullbreacher:
>If an opponent would draw a card except the first one they draw in each of their draw steps, ...
Notion Thief:
>If an opponent would draw a card except the first one they draw in each of their draw steps, ...
The fuck you talkin about?

>>96547839
I played this three times in my EDH career. Each time, I instantly became Archenemy and died before even two turns had passed. Turning off everyone's draws was fine, apparently, it was the fact that I was more or less taking them that earned their ire. Ultimately designed it wasn't worth it.

>>96547935
No it doesnt. You dont have to give opinions you know. The biggest reason is its mono color. Meaning you can splash it where wheels are present. Whereas notion thief needs dimir at least.

>>96547854
Just about every stax card is asymmetrical when you consider you're really only including them in decks that wouldn't feel them anyway.
Like of you plan to outpace the namesake smokestack, is it really a stax piece to yourself?

>>96547839
this shit eating fuckhead is going to lose you games, most often in the spot, because it draws bigger rage than any mill strategy would ever hope it could.
Commander players a greedy whores, who would take it lightly when you take away their toys

>>96547958
>unironically responding to a shithead semantics nitpigger
just don't

>>96547908
Notion thief into a wheel gives you a shit ton of cards, but nothing more. Hullbreacher costs less, still gives you enough cards and mana to play them. The mana cost is also a huge factor, but that dynamic alone already makes it incredibly nasty if you ask me. It's not even hard to flash in at three mana.

>>96547976
Its okay to not understand game terminology but it exists for a reason and it is not a semantical one. It is a very real mechanical distinction between the two types of cards. I know being a zoomer is hard and being new to a culture is even harder but learning is easy and trying to disregard the culture only makes you look like a moron.
>>96547958
Wrong and retarded from top to bottom lol

>imma call everyone a zoomed and a retard so I can (You) bait for the good feelings :)
you serve no purpose

>>96547908
>Is the one extra mana cost that important?
Yes but realistically the decision probably didn't come to "hmmm Hullbreacher has much less restrictive mana costs" it came down to some loser on the RC losing to it once and deciding it's too strong

>>96548039
Sounds a bit insane, but I actually may do this for the last good batch of dragonshields I still have and use

>TQ
I can fix her

>>96548077
>some loser on the RC losing to it once
Resto In Pesto Sheldon, but if that shit doesn't some up some of those decisions

>>96548029
It's really not that hard to make a deck from draft leftovers
hell that was the primary way we used to play.
if you spend 15 bucks a week drafting, you own the majority of every set you play.

>>96548013
These cards are weak but mostly fine if they synergize with your strategy. If you care about getting through and artifact tokens, or if the discard is relevant for reanimator etc, I can see some of these as cuttable but not terrible includes. Mask of Memery and Boots are the best of the bunch

>>96546955 (OP)
>TQ
the classic

>>96548066
Post your ID and prove me wrong :)

>>96548013
Beamtown Beatstick and Zephyr Boots are the only okay ones because they give evasion, the rest are bad

>>96548108
>its not hard to make a garbage usable deck
>heck everyone used to have garbage decks
Lul

>>96548029
If you can't make a budget deck that can't keep up with precons, you're just a shit deck builder.

>>96548013
they're okay
if you're a deck where treasures matter then the treasure-creating equips are good cards

>>96548142
yes and it was glorious

>>96548013
funky, some decks care about generating tolen artifacts and these are aggressive ways to do so
unfortunately not the best ways to do so, but treasures are always nice

>>96548142
A lot of decks were garbage because you wanted to build around some dumb bad card you drafted and a lot of decks were powerful because you are picking up rares constantly over time, not to mention if you opened a standard staple and traded it.
idk man my selvala deck was built entirely off of drafted/traded cards. It's pretty good.
>tfw opened a mana crypt during draft
it's easy to overlook just how many solid EDH staples show up in the average non-Standard draft.

>>96548152
Yo grandpa, maybe you haven't swwn the average precon today but they run GCs like skullclamp and dauthi voidwalker

>>96548013
>decks have become generally so powerful and boardwipes as well as other multi target spot removal pieces are so efficient now, that you can't even afford to lowball and play jank, because no matter how weak the pieces you deploy, you will not be left alone for even half a turn rotation
grim

>>96546955 (OP)
This one, of course. I played this one game and made someone concede on turn 2 because they took an extremely greedy hand with lots of mana rocks and only 1 land.

>>96548131
Why don't more people play Stasis? Seems really good but I've never even someone play it.

>>96548231
Because nobody will want to play with you if you run Stasis regularly. It's boring and slows the game to a crawl if played normally, and it is ALWAYS played in a dishonest manner where the controller blinks it on their turn so they are the only one playing the game.

>>96548231
It makes fags tilt and seethe. Solid in Derevi and PW Teferi.

>>96548231
check the EDHrec salt list for the answer

>>96548212
>not to mention if you opened a standard staple and traded it.
I drafted so many siege rhinos lol people were trading em like 5:1 for edh staples.

>>96548223
>skullclamp and dauthi voidwalker
No way these are gamechangers

>>96546955 (OP)
Lets see what /edhg/ thinks.

WILL OF THE COUNCIL - is Notion Thief stax?
https://strawpoll.com/B2ZB9wLNzgJ
We all know it is but it'll fun to dunk on a retard.

>>96548229
>no version without ugly fatties
damn

>>96548229
>concede to something that will probably be gone in 1 turn cycle
lole
still a great card though
>>96548231
because you have to build around to either have a lock or at least break parity and you cant just slam it for generic value
it also makes people seethe uncontrollably no matter how its played

>>96548231
It's the ultimate "you aint get invited again" card

>>96548212
>>96548156
Im not going to speak to any if that but they atmosphere of EDH has changed. Your draft leftovers decks are not winning against normal modern EDH decks. That may not be true for someone who has been drafting for 20 years and his leftovers are a collection of staples and shit but most people aint in that situation

>>96548235
Because its a bad card outside of having your necessary build around on the board. This goes with most stax and why stax has largely fallen out of favour.

>>96548302
>GAAIV or Bruvac as commander
>stasis, rhystic, smothering tithe, propaganda, etc
>a bunch of persistent petitioners and the usual stax bullshit
>either mill yourself out and thoracle, or mill everyone else out
I dare you to name a more annoying setup. There's definitely better setups, but holy shit I was seething about this one.

>>96548247
Hatebears arent stax anon. Consensus =/= truth

>>96548413
Mr. 96547854. Your hospice bed is ready, go lay down.

Where the FUCK is my mail??

>>96548413
they are tho
a stax effect on a creature is still a stax effect

>>96548450
I'm wondering and seething about that TOO and I haven't even had any problems with that until NOW

>draft leftover bulk rares are bad!
Meanwhile there's a fucking ton of pushed as fuck rares from recent sets that sell for 25c (pic related would be a good commander for such a budget deck), and precons have reprinted staples into the ground, price wise.
If you can't build a solid bracket 2/3 deck for less than $50-100, you are a bad player or a bad deckbuilder.

JUST SHIP IT YOU LAZY SHIT

>>96548373
if the goal is now normal modern edh decks instead of precons
that's probably true
though I would argue that a good drafter is probably also a good deck builder and could probably make it work if they had to. I personally haven't drafted since UB started to bother me so for all I know draft is all fucked up too. Considering WOTC is in charge, I wouldn't be shocked.

>>96548471
The easiest way to budget is to just search the effect of a 200$ card on scryfall and just find the same thing on a sorcery or 1-2 cmc cost more card.
Also I've seen this deck played bunny pall can be mean on the cheap

>>96548471
Do thing draw a card!

>>96548520

I think it could be funny seeing some oozes getting pressed out of these things.

>>96548492
Here is what it looks like roughly. A bit more full usually, so not much room for stuff to slide around and the actual deck long box thingies (those are decks in progress in the pic) are packed pretty tight. If i pack light it can be a bit different but eh not really. Im a cheapskate though so make of it what you will

>>96548638
Oh I guess this isnt stax?

Tarrians journal (sak rocks for card draw), ingenious artillerist (deals damage whenever one or more artifacts enter), crime novelist (gives you mana whenever you sak an artifact)

Are there any broken things I can do with this in Rakdos?

you people are so fragile and easily upset it's unreal. Do you get mad when McDonald's gets new happy meal toys because they're putting another brand logo next to theirs too?

Gollum lifelink tribal is one of my favorite decks, like ever. It's especially awesome when I swing with a bunch of lifelink creatures, then sac the biggest ones to Ob's emblem after combat and drain the table for like 25+ life at the end step from Gollum

zamn
this isn't nearly as hot as the first kino

>>96548736
got a list?

>>96548775
Molten duplication on isochron

>>96548733
oh wait that actually kinda looks cool

Any more ideas for a dimir Bloodborne proxy commander deck with eloise as the good hunter?
Some stuff is already taken, but I appreciate any creative input.

>>96548817
Just print the entire gamechanger list or stuff from the reserve list. That's the only way you'll get me to buy that shit.

>>96548825
Sorry meant synoptic mirror

Mfw my opponent plays a card with Phil Foglio artwork

>>96548807
I like the route you went im more spell slinging in mine. It is an incredibly fun deck either way especially with it being resistant to removal and life gain just always gives you a nice cushion. I think you posted that one Ikoria card that gives a lifelink counter? I stole that from you.
>>96548821
Here is the original list without any of the modifications I made, sorry!

Interesting used to be around 100 I wonder what rose in price

>>96548779
definitely the 'mancers
they work so hard for us, and they have never been extra fancy

>>96548844
whatcha gonna do?

>>96548844
i love phil and kaja

>>96548896
I'm just mad phil got the secret lair.
kaja is the better artist.

>>96547423
I'm okay paying a little bit of a premium on eBay from time to time because I have a grand of credit on my account and it's more convenient to buy on there.

>>96548844
you have a problem with my proxy?

>>96548877
>I think you posted that one Ikoria card that gives a lifelink counter? I stole that from you.
Is it this one? It's a fun card from my collection I had sitting around, but there's definitely other lifelink counter cards I would've ran if I found them while building the deck

>>96540581
Consider the gambling girl with a big dumpy

>>96548844
A guy in my old playgroup had a Foglio tribal deck. It was hot ass and I never saw it come close to winning a game. Cool guy though, also the only guy I ever saw run an Invoke Prejudice.

>>96547750
Rootpath wins out so it would be asymmetrical. Rootpath applies first, when Blood Moon "checks" the land is no longer nonbasic.

>been playing bracket 1
>suddenly extremely aware of why commander damage is a thing
dawg, lifegain is a menace in low power.

>>96548976
Fuck you Rigger

>>96549016
But does this work if I play blood moon THEN rootpath?

How does coat of arms work with the cards that make enchantments creatures? They have no stated type, they're just Enchantment Creature Creature.

>>96548831
I really wish I could because I think the vibe of bloodborne is neat but have no desire to play that genre of game. I can offer a (you) for you though.
However I would advise against putting stasis in your deck reguardless of intent because of how big of a target it puts on your back. At the very least what I would do is bring a side board with some card(s) you could swap out for it when the table inevitably tells you to KYS for playing it. (It's literally the #1 or #2 card on edhrec salt list every single year since they made it in 2019)

>loses you the game every time it resolves
not cutting it, too fun.

Do you miss him yet?

>>96549147
Love me chaos cards

>>96549147
Works in my Shattergang(Goblin Welder) deck

>>96549152
yes. RIP.

>>96549159
but then it doesn't get moved around and that's the fun.

>>96549152
no but its not like gavin is any better either

>>96549006
Unironic bracket 1

>>96549045
Lifegain is underrated in general. Had a hilarious game recently with Ultima v Burakos v Qala. The game actually wejt on for quite a while because Soul Wardens plus Lifelink kept causing us to regain life.

>>96549152
I liked his hands off approach to the format, he seemed to genuinely love playing shitpiles (based) but also loved wotc. He is also the reason leadership sucked after he left as he prioritized inclusion over vision.
I'm not sure how much influence he had in total but these were his beliefs and they were reflected in the actions of the RC.

>>96549159
running it in decks that can sacrifice it instead of seeing your opponents go apeshit over it is the absolute pussy application
>mfw I have a sweaty friend who thinks exactly like you, so it's up to me to jazz up the board with the fun mechanics

>>96549191
I played a game yesterday against a Licia deck that probably gained over 100 life. I don't want target the lifegain too hard in the future but I am tempted to put a Sulfuric Vortex in my deck just to keep the game moving.
low power games are a fragile thing especially when the players are really new and scared of everything.

>>96549221
What are some other fun mechanics I can run, sensei?

>>96549221
do it.

>>96546955 (OP)
Any good?

>>96549233
no, that's a terrible card.
that being said I might put it in my bracket 2 gisa/geralf deck so thanks

>>96549233
>goatsee anchor

>>96549229
Anything that shakes up your opponent's preexisting gameplan. Ya know, makes em think on their feet or be tempted to do something greedy. Like stax

>>96549233
this is just bad search for azcanta

>>96549229
very hilarious to see how hard your opponents start to murder each other when she is out. I love that the wording on it that makes it so the opponent with the highest life total isn't left out. Just try it in any orzhov list, no other synergies required

>>96549255
can't unsee it
thanks for that anon

>>96549233
Iiiits goatse

>>96549229
this one has a similar problem as the coveted jewel as in
>play it
>loses you the game
but I can't stop running it in every red deck. I love turbo charging the board into high octane fuckery, the game won't last that long when it comes down early

>>96548247
That's just Grasp of Fate but shit.

>>96549255
i will now play your card

>>96548579
As foretold

>>96549273
this certainly has some merit.
but commander players are mostly tards that start crying when they can't immediately start out 20 permanents a second starting turn 3

>>96548579
Thought this was a joke until I looked it up and was glad to see it's real.

>>96549316
oh this is good
gimme

>>96549316
Oh yeah, this is going in
I'm thinking a Zedruu the Greathearted deck playing cards like this and coveted jewel

>>96549339
Where the fuck is my Loncoln Logs collab?

>>96549349
Their cries fall silently on my ears.
I will destroy all of your lands and discard your hand.
I will make you attack me to get cards and mana.

>>96549339

>>96549367
I'm putting it in this.

>>96549399
Should have just put nerf guns in OTJ lol

>>96549399
>GI joe
Idk if you guys know it yet but this is inevitable
the GI Joe fags are insatiable, unhinged and flush with cash.

>>96549147
It's never backfired for me. I don't play it when opponents have a board or I make a deal with the next player to let them hit me with a single 1/1 and enjoy watching the chaos.

>>96549424
Ima try this

>>96549087
Creature is not a creature type, and coat of arms specifically cares about creature types.

Package came in the male

>>96549367
This would be in flavour
I played it wrong for a bit, you can only cast one spell or play one land a turb

>>96549533
this card needs more juice even for 2 manas

>>96549556
wait nvm I can't read its fine.

What was the source of that anime girl showing brainstorm (presumably pitching it to cast FoW)

>>96549325
I would agree for the most part except with council's judgment they're gone for good whereas grasp of fate leaves the possibility of them coming back.
If you're good at politics you can remove more than one thing from a single player's board if you need to hate someone out of the game too. Funny enough turn order is quite impactful to the resolution of the card.
I'm not going to pretend like grasp isn't the better card to run in most situations but there is some dynamics that makes council more interesting.

>the wife found secret lairs
uh oh

>>96549410
This is something I'm starting to have familiarity with. I'm into Heroscape (finally got revived!) and the first fucking crossover in the reboot, the second crossover EVER is fucking G.I. Joe! Thankfully, the models look good and have decent rules, so I can't complain too much.

>>96549627
>I'm into Heroscape
literally how I found out about gi joe too. Heroscape is dope.

>>96549325
Council's Judgement gets around Ward/Hexproof and they can't get their stuff back. Every time I've played it it's been an absolute blowout

>>96549556
I thought you can just keep casting spells, which I just did. If that would be how the card actually works, it would be underworld breach levels of cracked

>>96549641
It really is. My friends are starting to really get into it too, though it will be a while before any but one actually gets units to face me, rather than draft from my collection. That's OK tho, it let's me set the power level of our local meta and I'm not to interested in it going overboard.

Who's your favorite general and what are your favorite units? My favorite generals are Vydar and Utgar. Still deciding on my favorite units, though I'm warming up to Evil Realin and Loveattack.

>>96548817
Not a single Frazetta chick, not that I'm surprised of course but what a shame

>>96548817
I'm confused. They're re-releasing this?

>>96549699
My daughter and I got into the original release while we were waiting for the new release to drop after seeing it at a convention.
We haven't got bored with the old stuff yet so were just chunking away games with Rise of the Valkyrie.
I let my daughter pick my army most times but I'd definitely put Ne-Gok-Sa and the Marro Warriors at the top of the list aside from the obviously busted Raelin

>>96549646
The cool thing about Grasp is that the opponents are somewhat discouraged to remove it to get their stuff back, because it gives the other two theirs back as well; that is if they even are in colors that can easily remove Enchantments. For the most part, the stuff is long enough gone to matter a lot - much like how picrel is just a very sweet spot removal piece.

Voting cards are certainly more fun to play and Councils Judgement is far from being bad

>>96549726
it's the sequel to the beloved cult classic

>>96549764
wait that actually looks good

I wanna add All-Out Assault to my budget-y vampire deck but idk what i could cut.
Any ideas please?
