I see it as a way to screw over the player with the expensive deck and that's always a good time.

Hey! I am pretty new to this game and am really leaning towards Commander. Unfortunately I have had no one to play with other than my poor wife (she has been very gracious about learning and playing though, so yay), but also no one to really learn from. I have been mostly playing with commander pre-cons and planeswalker decks, watching lots of games on youtube, and lately reading through this thread. I was playing Arena a bit too, to learn, but I don't care for it that much. I had made a deck for myself that is best described as a pile of b/w cards but after some research I have a new version of it and would love some feedback. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/CFBLn22Il0CeSzVq74IFhg I like the mood of Orzhov. Wealthy assholes playing with life. It's like permanently dusk with some gothy halloween vibes. This deck tries to do the following: ## Infinite Creature Removal + Infinite Life Drain Painter's Servant + Teysa, Orzhov Scion + (optionally Blood Artist or Cruel Celebrant to drain opponents life) You need 3 white creatures on the board (maybe via Martial Coup or Finale of Glory). Use Painter's Servant to make all creatures black. Sac those creatures with Teysa, Orzhov Scion to create infinite tokens to feed back to Teysa to remove all opponents creatures. With triggering Blood Artist or Cruel Celebrant to drain opponents life totals as well. ## Aristocrats Create tokens, sac tokens, drain opponents, maybe gain some life to drain more from opponents. Use tools like Bastion of Remembrance, Exquisite Blood, Sanguine Bond, and Proper Burial to amplify the effects. Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose would also help. ## Life Gain/Drain Infinite Combo Get Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood on the battlefield, and then trigger the Blood Artist by killing an opponents creature, or sac a creature and let Cruel Celebrant trigger the loop. Ultimately I want to build a deck that is fun to play with and that I could use to play with other people. It's one thing, I think, to build jank to play at home 1v1, but another to build some jank that I can play with other mtg players.

I was playing Arena a bit too, to learn, but I don't care for it that much. This honestly looks pretty good. I'd make the following changes, though. -Helm of the Host -Greed -No Mercy -Revenge of Ravens -Proper Burial -Finale of Glory -Luminous Broodmoth -Twilight Drover -Woe Strider +Darkest Hour +Pitiless Plunderer +Disenchant +Night's Whisper +Retribution of the Meek +Bitterblossom +Dreadhorde Invasion +Blind Obedience +Erebos, Bleak-Hearted Also try to get one of the new Black/White flip lands.

Toshimo posted:This honestly looks pretty good. Nice, thank you! I think I understand the replacements. Darkest Hour works well with Ayara, First of Locthwain and to help Erebos, Bleak-Hearted. Pitiless Plunderer can generate some mana. I recently saw a combo with Pitiless Plunderer + Revel in Riches + Temporal Extortion to win with treasure tokens, which kinda feels on theme. Night's Whisper instead of Greed. Probably don't need Greed when I have tutors and other card draw opportunities. Bitterblossom and Dreadhorde Invasion to generate tokens each turn. Blind Obedience to slow opponents down. Erebos for card draw and a big indestructible creature. I do have Brightclimb Pathway // Grimclimb Pathway in there

Gynovore posted:Thassa's Oracle uses "look at", not "search". right but because it's part of a combo that wins the game, and a lot of competitive decks have been relying more and more heavily on it as their primary and sometimes only win condition, Opposition Agent functions as both a blowout against decks that use it by removing their wincon and also a way to win yourself by taking it.

The deck looks good. I don't see too many clunkers in there. If it's in the budget, you can free roll a second combo with Painter's Servant in the form of Grindstone. it only kills one opponent at a time, but you also don't need anything else to make it work except the mana to activate it Give players the experience of why Painter's Servant was banned! Likerwise, if you can get one, Diabolic Intent could be fun, though it could end up being dead weight if you end up wiped. As far as mana goes, I kinda want to see at least two more ramp artifacts. I see the curve is pretty low, but only 4 of them do anything if you get board wiped so you might stall out. I'd suggest Everflowing Chalice and Mind Stone, but that's really a matter of personal taste. As long as it costs 2, it's fine. As for cuts, it's hard to say. I'd say cut big Teysa, but that's obviously a pet card. I guess I don't love Revival Revenge but it's hardly bad. At least you're playing enough lands. Still, Castle Ardenvale might be a fun add. With the number of basics it's semi-free, and can offer you that single creature in situations where you just need to sac something, anything. Or, if you want it to always be untapped and have additional up and down side, Westvale Abbey. Speaking of lands, I'm a big proponent of Buried Ruin, especially if you have important pieces. I think you could float that in this deck to get your Altars back if need be. Players aren't stupid; they will absolutely break your toys if they can, and this gives you one more shot at them, or even Painter's Servant. After that, all I can think about is sort of odd additions since it's all pretty tuned as it is. In that department: A funny trick would be to replace Anguished Unmaking with Generous Gift. It has the added benefit that you can occasionally use it in an emergency to give yourself a creature. Unless your meta really needs exile, of course. Similarly, one Reassembling Skeleton might also be a cute addition, if all else fails as a rude sort of backup plan. With that, a sacrifice outlet and Grave Pact you would make some enemies.

worth knowing that darkest hour, unlike painter's servant, does not allow creatures to be any color but black; this matters in that you lose teysa's removal ability while it's out

Magnetic North posted:The deck looks good. I don't see too many clunkers in there. Thanks for the ideas! Hard to decide on cuts myself, but if I were to cut anything I'd probably go with big Teysa and Revival Revenge too. Teysa is expensive. Removing her lets me stay on theme so its all good.

I'm sorry if I missed it but I haven't seen this guy discussed yet, https://www.magicspoiler.com/mtg-spoiler/kodama-of-the-east-tree/ Kodama of the East Tree 4GG Reach Whenever another permanent enters the battlefield under your control, if it wasn’t put onto the battlefield with this ability, you may put a permanent card with an equal or lesser converted mana cost from your hand onto the battlefield. 6/6 Kind of funny since it can combo of something like Avatar of Growth which could potentially give you a 6/6/ Trampler, a 2nd CMC 6 creature and 4 lands for 1GG.

Seems like a cool mana doubler for mono-G, but I’d be more interested in it as a card in the 99 in a reanimate shell.

I'm so excited to make a Pirate tribal with Breeches and Malcolm. I'm going to buy the big box and not crack either of them in like 480 cards. It's going to rock rear end.

We know there won’t be any ban updates until January and honestly if anything from Commander Legends proves to be that problematic it’s not going anywhere till April at the absolute earliest.
