If I have Necroduality and Ashnod's Altar out and I play Rot Hulk, can I sacrifice the Rot hulk immediately and have the cloned Rot hulk bring back the original out and continue endlessly duping them for infinite mana and bringing all my zombies out from the graveyard?

Yes, just sacrifice the original with the Necroduality trigger on the stack. You could mill the table out with Altar of Dementia instead of making big mana, too.

Elysiume posted:What's the best way to sell high-value cards these days? I have an old judge promo Yawgmoth's Will and don't play nearly enough these days to justify holding onto an $800+ card. Easiest? SSG or Card Kingdom buylist. Greatest return? Individual sales, to a FLGS or its at-convention presence or setting up a sales account on TCGPlayer or eBay. When I sold out of the game, I just buylisted everything because I did not feel it was worth my time to extract the extra value. Once you factor in going to the post office dozens of times over months and months instead of just 3-5 times total, it ceased to make any sense to me to be arsed. For a single card, that is less of an issue so you could try and get max price on that possibly. I have heard cons used to be the best place to get the highest value for your cards, but I don't know if that continues to be true, particularly in the times of Covid.

Your commander must also maintain your Companion’s special conditions. https://twitter.com/mtgcal/status/1495040360548118533?s=21 I have no idea who this guy is or if Playing w/ Power is good content but this raises an interesting point or two.

From what I've seen on IHYD eps that has a member of Playing with Power they seem to be pretty knowledgeable, and I am once again reminded to seek them out and check out their content. That's a good tweet. https://mobile.twitter.com/ManaCurves/status/1494790908708933633?cxt=HHwWgsCi8ayayL4pAAAA The tweet below yours sounds like it was a kick rear end time. Ruining a Wheel of Fortune tho.  Edit: woaaaahh totally DIFFERENT Playing with Power than what was on IHYD, https://mobile.twitter.com/PWPMtG ,I thought Higher was part of a collective or something, serves me right for not looking it up.

You can’t answer everything and the solution to annoying cards isn’t always just to shoot them with magic guns. Not to start the Tergrid discussion again,but if Tergrid is on one side of the table, but elsewhere you see Koma, and elsewhere someone has a Seedborn Muse + Thrasios, and elsewhere someone has Winota + 3 dorks ready to swing, the threat math is really dire - you can't stop them all. Likewise you have cards like Rhystic Study that will easily run away with a game, or Dauthi Voidwalker that will eviscerate graveyard-based decks, or Rule of Law that will kill storm decks. You have decks that can generate a massive mana advantage and then pump it into a commander, really all kinds of things can put a deck into an advantageous position, you need to pay attention. If every deck has 20 strong threats, they don't need tutors to say "answer this or lose" because they're going to draw some of those threats. And I personally think the game works better if it shakes out that the board can never really be clear of genuine threats (including the idea that a White Knight is not a genuine threat even if you left it alone the entire game), you can just slow the threats down enough that your gameplan can pull ahead.

I agree completely. The game HAS to end sometime. I am playing Commander as much for the late game as I am for the early and mid game, I want all of it, not just the set up

There's a lot of crossover among EDH and cEDH content creators. There are at least a few folks who are on multiple podcasts/playgroups. Higher is one of them. Cal (PWP Cal, not TMS Cal) is another I think.

So what's been everyone's experience in slotting in new Kamigawa cards into existing decks or building something out from a legendary from there? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYI7RwvOac4 Prof has a Kickstarter collab with Gamegenic for a new box.

NEO is pretty decent. Lots of little role players for the 99 and nothing too OP from a new commander standpoint. Design is clearly leaning towards “let’s not do kitchen sink commanders anymore” and it shows.

Unfortunately Aurelia isn't as insane as you'd first think since the untap happens right away, so only vigilant creatures get to attack thrice. Still owns tho. I thought Raiyuu would be pretty bad because of the attack alone thing. Maybe with good equipment? How's he performed for you? Here's my build https://www.moxfield.com/decks/LA8EIzZ1tEemSMCQyxtBqQ I kinda want to replace mizzium mortar and kiki since triple red is rough with the budget mana base I'm also unsure about the "deal 1 to each opponent" creatures/enchantments, they've been kinda underwhelming. Would also love some more cards to protect from wipes/removal

Limited rules in this set, and it looks like there have been fun additions to Modern and Standard. Might genuinely be one of the best sets in a long time.

Apparently Kappa Cannoneer sees play in Legacy, and since the only way to get it on MTGO is from chests, it's going for like 110 tix. Only ~$20 on paper, which is what, half the cost of the deck?

Only ~$20 on paper, which is what, half the cost of the deck? It's a solid pickup, that deck. I really like that they're doing a lot better with building focused decks on a single theme rather than trying to focus on 3 different commanders leading to just a messy build. I don't really like that Prof kinda put it down for low value while praising past precons, because the ones he rated high in value are far below the value of this one. There's some solid value cards in the deck and it's very good straight out of the box. I wouldn't feel too bummed breaking it out at a casual table. I'd even expect it to do well.

The U/W vehicle is also out of the box the best cEDH option for Azorious. You become the de facto Iso-Rev deck in the format because you have an outlet but are not in Dimir, and Shorikai themselves is in the supremely unique position of being a commander that wins through Humility. White cards have literally never been better than they are right now, you could pick either Poly-Tyrant builds for more linear gameplay OR just absolutely load up on your favorite Azorious control cards and play the long game while finally having a definitive win con in your colors that doesn’t take 30 minds to grind your opponents into flour. I’m not sure precisely how I would build the deck, but I know I wouldn’t really want to run it without Dranith Magistrate, Lavinia, Gilded Drake, etc, but I would still run Hullbreaker Horror for sure… my buddy is building it with his birthday money, I’ll see how it turns out.

Not on color, Blue has four or five that can do it but they're all human. Red has Goblin Engineer and Hoarding Dragon but there's an extra step for each.

Transmute artifact etc.. will do it though, anyway this is better than hoping to flip them unless you had like a lot of them. Also just, freed from the real and pemmins aura with any dork that can generate blue and green (birds, noble hierarch are the easiest) Though maybe you want artifacts and not enchantments?

Also just, freed from the real and pemmins aura with any dork that can generate blue and green (birds, noble hierarch are the easiest) My meta is really stax heavy these days so I tuned the deck to be closer to Higher's version on the DDB so I can turn my extra mana into higher % flips (22 hits, 8 of which are huge threats, not as many as I'd like but I don't think I can fit more without compromising my average opener). I'm still running Reshape, Tezz, Transmute Artifact, and Moon Silver key to get the Basalt, and I have Vault/Prophet/Thrasios/Mirror as the payoffs, but I'm probably ~two turns slower than the builds that are tuned to fetch a Basalt + payoff. Was mostly just hoping there would be some creature I can flip into that could get me a Basalt and end the game, but that's not going to happen without some sort of hulk pile I don't think. Bust Rodd is going to get the last laugh because I'm seriously considering running a Nyx Bloom Ancient in here. fadam fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Mar 3, 2022 |
