Maybe you should take that huge stick out of your rear end instead of post post poooost as soon as you read a post about Commander?

To be fair, most goons aren't worse about commander than Sheldon, so that's something to take pride in.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth came out today, and I found this: I already knew about the Starter Deck, but this surprised me. I knew what it was as soon as I saw it.

Thanks for the advice guys; we'll probably try putting in some of the silly blue hate cards first, but if the guy is a dick about it (as he has been about other things) then we'll know where to tell him to stick his deck. I'm uh... sorry for bringing up EDH politics? I guess?

Since I finished building my modern mono-black infect deck with sideboard I decided that it would now be a good time to make my mono-black commander deck now that the C14 is being released. I never make truly competitive decks, they're always a tier or two below combo-out UG decks, because I'm using Korlash as my commander.

Just tell everyone to play the following cards: Red Elemental Blast Pyroblast Choke Burnout Active Volcano Boiling Seas Omen of Fire From all the people I've played with, the kind of people who are super aggressive with their combos are the same people who'll cry as soon as you play your ruin-their-day card. I used to play with someone who only ever won with Grave Pact or Mikaeus + Triskelion. But oh man, once I started playing Rest in Peace and showed him the Counterspell in my hand for Spine of Ish Sah, he would scoop within a few turns, and cry the whole time. It was glorious. But really, just don't play with people with that.

The Wicked Wall posted:. I know a guy that was all about that kind of deck, and my 5 colour deck had Ice Cave in it because I thought it would be kind of funny. He started out ridiculously far ahead in one particular game until Ice Cave landed, and then everyone countered all his game winning poo poo and he wound up packing up his cards and accusing everyone of ganging up on him And that's my Azami EDH story

M15 was cool like that with all the guest designer cards with videogame references like Avatar's Shield from Ultima. The minecraft card was funny as hell too, hoping someone breaks aggressive mining.

Thankfully the Zedruu deck that the guy runs at my club is just donating things like howling mines, countering board wipes, etc. then he drops Kazuul & Propaganda so you can't really attack him, then a 50/50 chasm skulker appears out of nowhere and runs you over.

Zedruu + Illusions of Grandeur + Despotic Scepter  Edit: Donate + illusions of grandeur + despotic scepter was the combo my friends came up with during high school when we decided to play black jack for rares. The one guy gave out despotic scepter when he lost and laughed at us.

After he does, turn passes to me and on "my upkeep" I sac Nissa's Chosen to Eldrazi Monument and kill him

To be fair probably the bigger reason your post was met with a bunch of attitude is that it's closer to an E/N post than one that needs to be answered specifically by a bunch of magic players. It has very little to do with EDH politics and way more to do with "how do I handle having issues with another adult human being", especially considering you know your playgroup and they're not just a bunch of strangers. That being said if your playgroup is about encouraging durdly fun over win-first, cutthroat plays, then be an adult about it and tell that other guy to gently caress off, get a new deck, or find new friends.

Eh... I don't know much about Magic, but I'm bored. I need to kill some time. I could research this, but I'm sure someone here already knows. Is there some list of decks which are considered really "cheap"? I don't mean in a "expensive" sense, I mean in the "rear end in a top hat" sense. Whatever is the cheapest, dirtiest and ugliest deck, I want to know. Bonus points if it is a deck that consistently creates ties, if a tie in Magic is possible. I just want to play with the computer, I won't actually use any of it on humans.

No Gravitas posted:Eh... I don't know much about Magic, but I'm bored. I need to kill some time. If you mean competitive in a real format, whatever deck is "cheap/assholish" will also be expensive, because you probably mean which deck can win the most. If you don't mean that, you probably mean combo, which can fizzle and do nothing or go off and beat your opponent before they have a chance to do anything. Thats Jeskai Ascendency in standard, and I guess modern right now, too.

I don't know what Wagic is, the only ways I know to play against a "computer" are Duels of the Planeswalkers and the Shandralar game from like 20 years ago ok just looked briefly at Wagic; so its a goldfish simulator? In that case try a Storm deck.

Are you and this computer playing in a specific format, or are we talking "Every Magic card ever printed is fair game and there's no deck size"? If it's the latter, I suggest Mountain, Black Lotus, Channel, Fireball, Pact of Negation, Pact of Negation, Pact of Negation, and call it a day.

Stax seems promising. Thanks for advice everyone. This should kill a few good hours. EDIT: I do need 40 cards and up to 4 of each, but any card ever printed works!

There are no existing decks that you could look at because there has not been a way to play Magic with 4 of any card as an option since like 1993 and even then your deck had to have 60 cards. The most busted deck with a library minimum of 40 and no ban/restricted list? try the following. 4x Channel 4x Fireball 4x Black Lotus 4x Ancestral Recall 4x Mox Sapphire 4x Mox Ruby 4x Mox Emerald 4x Pact of Negation 4x Time Walk 4x Time Twister That should pretty much win turn 1 or 2 every single time.
