Although some of the cards are on reserve for her specifically because they're too mean (Drought, Nature's Wrath, Reclamation) Do you also play Angel of Jubilation and Yasharn?

Angel yes. Yasharn would be a good include. Tajuru I probably wouldn't because the deck is already pretty tight and Sigarda can give me that from the command zone so she has it covered.

I don't like this format (find it painfully slow and boring) but the group I've been meeting up with play this most of the time. Can someone point me to a deck or two that will either help me win quickly or otherwise help me lose quickly? In other words, high risk, high reward.

The game is exactly as fast as the decks people bring. If you bring a fast deck to a slow table, you'll just run over them all day. Think about finding another group that is more your speed or talking through your concerns with your current group. Some examples of high-power decks that are aiming to get things done is the CEDH database: https://cedh-decklist-database.com/

Yeah I think that's what I was thinking of. Sounds like for control I'll be looking at stax. Glad to see GAAIV is still relevant on here https://cedh-decklist-database.com/. I'll probably end up in UW or UWx Stax from the looks of it. Thanks for the tips all.

Part of the appeal of cEDH is that the games AREN'T painfully long. Each individual turn may take a bit longer because of the density of interactions and decisions being made (every action matters!) but it's rare for games to last longer than an hour. Which is good, because games that last longer than that aren't good for my attention span.

Edit: there's a few iterations of the deck, but most of them can be built on trash for next to no money because it's all cheap creatures and cantriped combat tricks. It's goofy and trashy and cheap and I love it. Edit 2: Also, I agree with the folks saying the format doesn't need to take forever to play. I play with a bunch of filthy casuals, but our games never take longer than 90 minutes. cEDH is a sure bet for short games, but you can also get short games in the wider view of the format if you play low to the ground and you have a game plan to close things out.

Group slug commanders like Mogis are easy ways to shorten the game and you can gradually make it more and more heinous to speed things up further.

JackDarko posted:Alright, I did some poking around on the new Legendaries in New Capenna. I came up with these two candidates. So looking at these two, I feel like Jinnie Fay has a much easier build with a much easier game plan that functions independently from her. Fewer bad hands, fewer dead draws, so i would pobably use her. Ziatora also has a really frustrating issue where they are a 6 drop RBG dragon that cares about sacrificing things and this other 5 drop RBG dragon that cares about sacrificing things happens to be one of the strongest creatures ever printed, so trying to brew the deck in the shadow of Korvold, the Fae-Cursed King is really weird.

It's weird if you approach it purely from a power perspective. Korvold is too strong, to the point where he's very unfun both to play and to build around. I was really excited about him until I played a few games with the one I built and it got to be just a hassle to play him. If I were going for pure power I'd pick Korvold but if I want to actually enjoy a game I'm playing I'd pick the other dragon.Jiro posted:If it was in there, it never popped out.

Yeah this is how I built mine. It's super fun when it works but I don't have the means for a good 5c manabase yet. I think now that they've completed the triomes I'm going to get one of each and load up on fetches as well so I can consistently get my colors.

Thanks for the feedback y’all. I was attempting to get started with the Ziatora deck and frankly got overwhelmed. It has been fun though. Been mostly watching the Professors videos and Commander Mechanic to self teach. Jinnie Fays concept does seem easier for me to wrap my head around.

I haven't played MTG since, oh, 6th Edition? Mirage? Something like that? But Arena has made me feel the itch. I'm thinking about dipping my toes back in with either the innistrad "Undead Unleashed" and "Vampiric Bloodlines" precons since I'm an edgelord. Is that a decent way to get going or am I hamstringing myself in any way?

I bought the Vampire blood Precon and I like it just fine, there’s a handful of big vampires that are fun to cheat into play, and you can upgrade the deck really easily by upgrading the removal and reanimating spells with cheaper, more efficient alternatives or staples. A decently beefed up vampire Precon will do fine at medium tables, and higher power tables just demand more reanimating and ramp.

Undead Unleashed is really awful, has basically nothing of value and plays badly. Vanmpiric Bloodlines at least has about $30 worth of playables or so in it, so you can make something of it. I really wish I knew of better new player products to push people towards, because "drop $30-50 on this deck for about 5-10 keepable cards and then buy singles from there" is getting real old.

I have a Kami of the crescent moon "group hug —no, wait, this is actually mill," deck. We call him cheeky-bum. Anyway I bought the new bant precon, for no reason other than bant being my favourite colour combo, and I've torn it apart to make a +1/+1 counter and proliferate spam deck with Kros. Any suggestions for either of these decks would be great, as I mainly just tear apart my old decks/collection to throw these things together.

here's the world's dumbest idea. March of the Machines. Portcullis (with at least two other creatures/artifacts in play). Portcullis loops, removing itself and returning itself indefinitely. Play some sort of flash creature/artifact with a good etb into the portcullis; now it loops forever, too. Venser works (bounce all your opponent's permanents, then bounce Portcullis to stop the loop). Bogardan Hellkite works, I guess, but it's obviously rather expensive. Can't think of anything else that either wins right away or stops the loop, but you can add some sort of flicker effect (restoration angel, momentary blink, etc) and an existing creature that does damage or something, or Vedalken Orrery or similar. Idk. The rest of the deck is left as an exercise for the reader.

If you want to be a total dick: augury owl and just sit there putting your deck into a chosen order by designing an algorithm to transfer cards from place to place as you pass through the library 3 cards at a time.

Curious to see if mathematicians have a more efficient way. I think it'd work by putting all cards to the bottom of the library until you find one that you're interested in relocating, and then keeping it on top, while continuing to put each other card on the bottom, until you arrive at the place in the library where you want to drop that one card off by putting it to the bottom in its place. Repeat.

I finally got over to my FLGS and picked up the prerelease pack I had them hold for me (because gently caress retail work, seriously) and pulled a non-foil showcase Ognis. I have a spark of an idea for a deck, in that I want to run both Tombstone Stairwell and Pitiless Plunderer in here. Not sure how to make that pay off, nor how I want to get there in the first place, but I'm kinda hoping that throwing the idea out there and bouncing it off the group here will hopefully inspire someone like it's inspired me, and give me some absolutely nutbar bullshit shenanigans to run with, cackling like a mad scientist watching their creation come to life.
