W.T. Fits posted:recs  somehow i'd overlooked battlemaster, yeah that's definitely going inbludgeon's a bit more of a maybe since even though i can steal their stuff, the control doesn't change so they can still pay the equip cost to unequip or put it on something on their side again, but paying mana to get back their mana rock might not be worth it. i'm considering triggered ability doublers once i see how the deck runs on average to get multiple free equip triggers per combat (same for extra combat step cards), so i should probably throw that stuff in the maybeboard already so i don't forget

Not something for this particular deck, but I've always wanted to use Liquimetal Coating (or I guess Liquimetal Torque, now) to turn Jace, the Mind Sculptor into an artifact and equip him to Gideon Jura with Bludgeon Brawl.

Why does Moxfield not let me add Grim Tutor, instead making me add Crack The Vault, which is technically the same thing, but confusing and not what I'd use. edit: Whoa, Nazgul are 8+ bucks a pop for an uncommon. Khanstant fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Jun 26, 2023 |

The margin is insane but I don't know how many you can move when it's an uncommon. Ah okay, I was like there's no way this many people want to try a janky ring-tempt wincon deck to make it that expensive. I'll just wait or proxy in the meantime, pretty sure I got at least 1 in my prerelease pack. My pauper deck is still trickling in as well. Here's my present brainstorm list. Need to make at least 17 cuts though. Probably don't need all 9 Nazgul but most of the creatures are ring-tempters. I guess you only need 4 and Frodo can theoretically get that train rolling by himself so maybe I don't need every single tempt card in there. Might also be a bit too much equipment, was mostly looking for evasive stuff that didn't add much attack. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/zqDN_HwFOk-4U1gbwZuTQA

In light of the death metal secret lair, what's a competent Nekusar deck look like? I know he's got a reputation of "don't let this motherfucker live," so I think most of the stuff on EDHRec is probably too cute and too reliant on the guy sticking around. Do you just control shell, and on a single turn, drop Nekusar, Tainted Strike, wheel? (and/or Lab Man/Thoracle?)

This is going to sound dismissive, but: there really isn't one. At anything other than the lowest-power tables, you're helping three other players draw into their game plans faster than you're killing them, and at those low-power tables he's so hated they'll save the little removal they run for him. Even if you stick him in a control shell, it's really hard to keep the rest of the table locked AND cast Nekusar AND pivot from controlling to winning. I think the closest analog is Opus Thief decks, and playing white goes a long way toward protecting their wins. He's not unbuildable, but he's got the problem of being much less threatening than his reputation.

Taited Strike, Phyresis, and Glistening Oil for an infect kill, and there's a few other ways to ping opponents for drawing cards (Kederekt Parasite, Ob Nixilis, the Hate-Twisted, Underworld Dreams). There's also Orcish Bowmasters, Fevered Visions, and Sheoldred, the Apocalypse to further punish your opponents for drawing cards. Faerie Mastermind should also draw you quite a few cards. You can go full cute and include the new RB Ob Nixilis from Aftermath as well as All Will Be One.

That's the kind of card I'd like to avoid though. Even with Nekusar and a critical mass of similar effects and damage amplifiers, drawing everyone into answers would be suicide I think. Unless you can wipe them out in one turn anyway.

Just do infect. Infect on Nekusar + a wheel. Crazy ramp so you can cast him and infect on him and dump a wheel on one turn. Ramp + wheel, accept that you are handing cards to your opponents, and you will lose some games because of this. Guess what, you might not have won those games anyway. Do you want me to do an article on it? I've been tempted.

Generally it only manages to do well if it manages to make someone else the Archenemy, and Nekusar has time to get a really nasty engine going in the background.

Urabrask, Heretic Praetor, both Etalis, Atsushi, Breeches, Ragavan, Experimental Synthesizer, Galvanic Relay, Eternal Scourge, Squee the Eternal, Grenzo, Havoc Raiser, Robber of the Rich, Furious Rise, Fires of Mount Doom, Outpost Siege, Stolen Strategy, Laelia, Tempered in Solitude, Valakut Exploration, Visions of Phyrexia and Stolen Strategy work well with Rocco There are a ton more cards that let you rip the top card off of yours or your opponents' deck Some +1/+1 counter/modified synergies may go well in the deck if you like, Kodama of the West Tree is basically a sword of the animist on every creature you control, and The Ozolith makes sure the counters stick around Also just buy the hobbit food precon because you'll want like half the cards in there for all the food tokens synergies

Trying to help someone make a better Kenny deck. Non-cEDH, focusing on ETB and Kenny's reanimation effect, no Thoracle/Breach/Brain Freeze wins since it's meant to be played at an LGS's Commander Night (with "achievements"). Need suggestions/recommendations.

Need suggestions/recommendations. Theres like 5 elves who generate mana = their power so you can run a lot of elves and then use the mana to make your elves bigger and generate even more mana to pay for Kenny abilities. You can also go infinite but you don’t have to. Generating poo poo tons of mana will let your friend hit 10000 life if he wants deal 10000 damage or whatever thing the achievements are.
