I'm thinking about doing some big charity project and my LGS is a Commander hot spot, but I haven't played Commander with anyone in years. Thanks! Utility tokens would be way more useful/cooler than any creature tokens. In addition to the aforementioned treasure/food/clue/monarch, it'd be nice to see Poison Counter, Energy Counter, City's Blessing, Companion and Adventure tokens along with maybe Command Zone and Phasing cards

I'm gonna become an Angel deck guy and build a casual Giada deck. Assuming I'm running the good rocks, how many lands do you guys typically run in your mono coloured decks? I'm thinking 27 with all plains except for the good lands like Cavern, War Room, Nykthos, etc.

Personally, I think 27 isn't enough to stay on curve consistently past turn 3-4. I usually run at least 34 lands, even in a monocolored deck. You might be able to get away with 31 or 32 if your deck is real low to the ground, but that ain't angels.

Treasure wasn't a thing when I was actively playing, but there's all the ones you mentioned also. I used to run Cat Draft events where I'd raise money for the cat adoption place I volunteer at, and I'd make tokens. Jeff Menges lived nearby at the time and he'd do some token once in a while also. I was thinking Commander this time around instead of a draft. I already have a Kitty's (City's) Blessing token I made for myself, so that's a start.

27 plains with Sejiri Shelter, Kabira Takedown, and Emeria’s Call would be fine, but 27 flat is too low, even with a 2 drop commander your gonna be mulling to 5 all the time to get some something playable. And anything under 34 your gonna want Land Tax and maybe even Three Estates or Tithe

I'm thinking 27 with all plains except for the good lands like Cavern, War Room, Nykthos, etc. For what it's worth I'm running 27 in my Sythis deck, with dorks and fast mana, and I frequently feel like I don't hit land drops enough. It's different because I'm usually stretching my lands with enchantments (utopia sprawl etc) and making a beeline for Cradle and Sanctum though. For monowhite, Angels no less, your curve is probably going to be pretty big even with Giada... probably run more.

In my 100% suicide T2 Storm combo deck (K’rrik) I run 28 lands and 2 MDFC. Basically, with MDFC lands, I don’t think it’s literally ever correct to go below 30 virtual lands anymore, even with 15-20 pieces of ramp/acceleration. There’s greed, and then there’s Greed, and then there’s “my deck only hits 4 mana on 1 out of every 3 games”, which is where I think 27 lands puts you

With 27 lands, you have a 38% chance of getting 1 or fewer lands in your opener. Obviously MDFCs and mulligans mess with that. Assuming no mulligans, if you have a 'hand' of 9, your odds of that go down to 24%.

Knot My President! posted:https://archidekt.com/decks/2686897#Arcades_1.0 My suggestion would be to add more spot removal as you are extremely vulnerable to somebody landing something nasty. Try to come down to 32-33 lands and add some mana ramp via signets, talisman or land tutors.

My interest in Magic kinda started to fall off over the past few months since I have been in school, combined with heavy disinterest in the last few sets of 2021, and Kamigawa, which I was initially pretty hyped for, ended up being basically everything I absolutely didn't want out of a Japanese set aesthetic. When Capenna got spoiled I had originally not had much interest in it and it drew me back in again, not only because the aesthetic was actually more interesting than I was expecting but because its mechanics and color combinations all were basically a gift to me personally. But then I actually got my Capenna cards and they're so insanely cheap as a product. The foils are dull and they all immediately curled into near circles, and all of the cards are printed on some of the worst cardstock I've ever seen. I'm very texture sensitive and I legitimately halted the second I picked up a Capenna card because I could actually feel the scratchy toothiness of the card texture in my fingertips. They sound bad, even, if you rub them against each other. Like they're actually unpleasant to hold. It won't matter so much when they're sleeved, I guess, but then I noticed that a LOT of them are not even just lovely paper, they've even been cut off center. Some of the card backs are a full millimeter off center from older cards I compared them to. And then this let's preview 3 sets at once thing. It really is never ending and it's only getting faster. I am on the brink of trying to convince my friends to switch to a different game or something so I can stop paying attention to this. It feels like a chore lately.

I have something silly to share: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/3FaFK7Q9YE-O05jp4vp3Ig This is my Leveler combo deck. The goal is to get Leveler, Endless Whispers, and Spawning Pit into play, with Aminatou / other ways to blink. Sac Leveler, give to opponent, blink it back to me, sack, donate, blink, sack, donate, all players have zero cards in their library and die in turn order. Backup is Leveler + Fractured Identity, or Phage + Fractured Identity. It's certainly not a competitive deck, but it's done pretty well so far, and despite it being combo, no one has ever gotten salty about being Leveler'd. I built it cause WAAAY back in the day, someone killed me with that combo while playing Standard, and then signed each card and gave them to me, and on that day I vowed to Leveler other people to regain my honor

They need to step up their partnerships. Where is the M:tG x Bad Dragon collab with Nicol Bolas and Ugin dildos? The Nicol Bolas one is an ovipositor that spits out the Gem of Becoming into your preferred orifice.

I know this doesn’t solve your overall problem (and might in some ways exacerbate it) but the card stock varies wildly based on where the cards were printed. There are some cards (I think ones printed in Japan, followed by cards printed in Europe?) that are an absolute joy to hold: slick, shiny, smooth. Just lovely. The ones that get printed in the Americas tend to be the ones that feel like lovely sandpaper.

It really just adds another layer of lottery to it, where not only might I get a good card, I might get a good card that isn't printed on toilet paper! Variants upon variants upon variants!

It's very strongly influenced by your average mana cost (low = fewer required), how long you want the game to go (longer, more controlling decks will often want more lands to ensure hitting their drops vs faster decks that want the game to end before it matters), the cost of your commander (a 2cmc commander vs 6cmc) and what colors you are in (green for dorks/land ramp, no green means more focus on rocks). Here are some examples of my not-cedh lists (which still go hard on mana packages because I like to cast my spells). Negan (treasure focused, so that also helps): 12 rocks, 34(35 with DFC) lands Hapatra: 4 dorks, 8 rocks, 34(36) lands Korvold (landfall, so that influences): 8 dorks, 6 rocks, 35(38) lands Neheb the Eternal: 17 rocks, 29(30) lands

The only stuff I’ve found online is like 36-38 + mana rocks To give you an idea of what the bleeding edge are doing, I sampled some top end CEDH decks:  If your deck is slower and costs more, then you'll need more mana (and have to cut cards that Do Things). But, it's not out-of-line to say that, even a mid-tier deck should be running 32-35 lands, 8-12 rocks, and 5-10 other mana sources.

Also the quality of rocks/dorks/lands matter. There's a difference between a deck running stuff in the "Command Sphere, Llanowar Tribe, Akoum Refuge" range vs "Sol Ring, Llanowar Elf, Luxury Suite" range. Lower costs and not entering tapped is a big difference. Also lol precons are so bad lately. And they raised the prices.
