Is Atraxa still a bogeyman at some tables? I thought she had gone the way of Sharuum, Uril, etc.

EDHREC still has her with the most decks. She's also #1 over the past month, but 4th in the past week.

She’s never gonna drop off because she’s the best proliferate commander with the most colors and super friends decks are only ever getting stronger, more popular & more consistent

Toshimo posted:Explain When dividing the playfield up into sectors, you get to choose last, so you can put Atraxa herself in the position to swing with relative impunity, and pick for optimal board wipes. Also she will make better use of the counters than opponents presumably. It's not AMAZING, like I said that deck is jam packed as it is, but I think it could be decent.

If anyone has a few to look over this deck for me and help me with cuts for interaction and mana, I'd appreciate it. The idea is to make ivy non-legendary make a bunch of copies and then get a bunch of value out of auras, cantrips, and mutates. I'm deliberately avoiding certain staples like Rhystic for power level reasons. My group is all over the place and some of my other decks that are more in the range I like to play power-level wise are starting to wear the groups patience. This is a pretty early draft still so apologies for that. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/y7YWHzoHLkq5q_zqaMPaFw Dreqqus fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Sep 21, 2022 |

This is a pretty early draft still so apologies for that. This deck does everything I love. You’re so light on mana though you’ll be screwed more often than not - 32 lands isn’t acceptable unless your curve is under 2. You want minimum 36 lands ideally 37-38. Beware of the non-bos of token doublers and Ivy’s effect. Spells copied on the stack aren’t “created” so doublers don’t see them. But it works with token clone creators of course. You may not have enough instants and sorceries for Orvar to give you the mileage you want but if he does his thing 1-2 times it’s worth it. I did a deck tech over on my YouTube channel just last week re: Ivy along with two deck lists. Check ‘em out: Commander Mechanic

As a side note, since the mutate pile's characteristics come from the top card, if you mutate your gemrazer or whatever on top of Ivy, the mutate creature won't be legendary.

The World Inferno posted:Is KickStarter not cool anymore? Beyond the sketchiness/caveat emptor of crowdfunding generally, they embraced crypto late last year, which in case you aren't aware is massively environmentally destructive and they announced it without attesting as to how it would help anything on their lovely website that has lots of other problems. On the plus side, this has inspired backlash and eventually flight to their primary competitor Gamefound (set up by crowdfunding company Awakened Realms) and also got pledge manager company Backerkit to cut out the middleman and offer an end-to-end platform. So, at least now there are semi-viable alternatives to what was a de facto monopoly on crowdfunding, mostly because they wanted to make some investors moist with buzzwords.

In response to the backlash against the blockchain decision they announced they were pausing the implementation for the time being and are putting together an advisory group comprised of community members. This was last december and the group was formed in may-june I think. I checked a while ago and they had only done one meeting & the agenda was basically to get to know each-other. There were no other announcements about the blockchain on the KS website that I could find, so I searched the forums and twitter of the blockchain itself and there were only a few references on the forum to how poorly the announcement was received. Except the twitter had advertised they were working with KS in April I think. So I don’t think there’s still plans to go forward at KS, but I’m still not giving them money right now.

I'm just kinda over the "pay now, get what you paid for months in the future" model. I know it's how you get some cool and limited run stuff, but it's an annoying business model. I've got some keyboard stuff that I ordered last year that I'm not likely to see until next year and it's so very dumb. Unless I want it bad enough. Where is my coin flip secret lair commander deck, WotC?

Chakan posted:Is that still not out yet? When did it go up? I think it was sometime in December. It has been almost a year. They handed out 2 Kamigawa collector boosters as a consolation but mine ended up getting lost in the mail and I had to fight with WotC for almost a month to get a replacement. (And then the packs sucked.) They can print full decks in a special foil style for retail, but still can't get out half-foil decks for people who bought them nearly a year ago.

If one were to make a cEDH deck using Breya as the commander, do you guys think she'd just be there to provide four colors to build with (and would just be some sort of stax and/or thoracle combo deck), or could she be a good build-around commander to grind out card advantage with? E: There's probably better Partner commander combinations for those four colors, I imagine.

Breya's fine, but you're correct that there's a better option in those colors, being Tymna/Kraum.
