Aphrodite posted:Each player gets to block with 1 creature. I don't think that's right. I think the player to the left of the active player gets to declare blockers first, if they declare a blocker, no-one else can block. Otherwise player to the left, etc.. I'm not 100% sure on this but, there's only 1 combat happening, and what silent arbiter really says "is no more than one creature can be declared as an attacker each combat...no more than one creature can be declared as a blocker each combat." I looked around for rulings and don't see any that specifically address this, but that's certainly how I would interpret it.

Blocking essentially happens in a vacuum. 802.4b: When determining whether a defending player’s blocks are legal, ignore any creatures attacking other players and any blocking creatures controlled by other players.

PicklePants posted:And because he could send Stangg after two different people, we were kind of curious as to how blocking would work. Would the person next in the order get a chance to block first, and then the next player is out of luck and has to take the damage? 802.4b When determining whether a defending player’s blocks are legal, ignore any creatures attacking other players and any blocking creatures controlled by other players. Each player may block with 1 creature and the other players don't affect them.

There's a way to get a card conjurer mirror working locally on your machine using a guide. They have options built in for the little subtitle thing with the OG card name on it. The original cardconjurer site now just makes non magicy looking cards so you have to use a workaround for the old version (that's still updated IIRC so not really old)

starbarry clock posted:whats the best precon you can get that also wont make people get stroppy You might get a little pushback about them being universes beyond cards but the 40k decks are good fun and very synergistic since almost every card was created for the decks. The Imperium and Ruinous Powers have tribes that are relevant as well so you have places to grow with them. And if they are too pricey or hard to find, a couple of youtubers have created their own 'precons' with links to auto fill your cart with the cards needed.

I want to put together something low power for a group that mostly plays upgraded precons. Ideally something that has tons of zone interactions and durdle poo poo and won't just flat-out overpower these folks. I remember someone had suggested Vega the Watcher. Any other suggestions?

If you include both big dumb creatures with triggered drawbacks, and delayed trigger things like myriad, dash, and blitz then playing your turns is interesting because you have to puzzle out the right order to play things or attack and when to end the turn at the right time to keep the most stuff. Make sure to include a Lord of Tresserhorn and/or Eater of Days.

I think I want Eriette to be the next deck I build. Have you all played against any spicy brews recently? I'm probably looking to make this one a 7-8, so not quite cEDH, but tuned well. E: She's probably not a good cEDH commander anyway.

Nothing super fancy about it but there's enough card draw and interaction to not just get poo poo on after people realize the effects of the curses. It needs a few more effects like ghostly prison, so I'll keep tinkering with it. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/AY_PoCd5kEGHyhhf6TlFxA

She seems custom built to head an enchantment based pillowfort deck, but those decks always tend to be boring as hell to play. At least she has a built in win con with her life loss thing since a lot of those decks just make combat impossible and then sit around while everyone does nothing.

I've only played against her in brawl so far, but I think an interesting multiplayer aspect is that you can put a beneficial aura on someone else's creature, and it can still swing at anyone but you.

It's very thematic if you want to roleplay as a wicked witch. My trick was politics with stuff like tenuous truce and loran, then having to play tower defense once I played exquisite blood and the table brought out the torches and pitchforks to come burn down my castle. You won't get consistent wins and you're totally hosed against very aggressive decks or when aura shards comes out. But it's a fun, janky midrange deck where you get to play the saturday morning cartoon villain.

While draining people enough to get them into range to close it out with Angels/Pegasi/Spirits. Not sure how strong it'll end up being but I like the idea of playing into the villain theme and cursing people to squabble amongst themselves.

I'm trying to make a commander deck work for my favorite bad commander, Brion Stoutarm. Trying to win with Fling, but the deck kinda developed an equipment subtheme, since I want stuff like swiftfoot boots, lightning greaves, sunforger, commander's plate, darksteel plate, champion's helm and helm of the host. Then I added a couple of equipment tutors (stonehewer, taj-nar swordsmith, steelshaper's gift), and then a batterskull and skullclamp. My latest addition is Lion Sash, since it can get big, attach to things to make them big, and also randomly hose GY strategies Since I have Helm of the Host, I added Godo and Aurelia for infinite combat phases (as long as nobody can block) For wincons I have Serra Avatar, to just smack someone with my life total. I also have Phyrexian Processor and Moltensteel Dragon to smack people for huge amounts of damage. Gratuitous Violence to double damage, to make sure I can kill people, rings of brighthearth for the same reason, and finally, Prophecy all-star, Keldon Battlewagon. Can tap my creatures to buff its power, then tap itself to double its own power, then fling. Then there's also filler like Hamletback Goliath and War Elemental to fling. Other subthemes - reanimation. Feldon, Emeria, Emeria Shepherd, Adakar Valkyrie, sun titan - lets me throw things multiple times -stealing: Molten Primordial, Zealous Conscripts, Grab the Reins, Insurrection. - lets me throw the biggest creature on the board - lifegain - Well of Lost Dreams, Cradle of Vitality. Commander's lifelink is basically my main source of lifegain. and I guess batterskull - ramp - this poo poo is expensive. Random mana rocks, Land Tax, burnished hart, weathered wayfarer. - card draw - lmao almost nothing. Skullclamp, Solemn Simulacrum, loreseeker's stone - board wipes - wrath of god, akroma's wrath, austere command, hallowed burial - utility - Sunforger (can hit stuff like master warcraft, grab the reins, swords, path, orim's thunder, gods willing, return to dust) Blood Moon (because gently caress em) Mother of Runes I know the deck needs more card draw, but I'm in boros so what's even good and not super expensive? And I think probably needs Sneak Attack There's so many things to get out, enchantments, equipment etc before my commander really comes online. My commander probably isn't going to survive a turn without being hexproof and indestructible either. I also think I could probably find better stuff for Sunforger to tutor. I've also been thinking about if I have enough of an equipment theme to just put in Puresteel Paladin, Forge Anew, Sigarda's Aid, Colossus Hammer, and stoneforge mystic, Ardenn etc. Then I could also include the Kaldra equipments and make Kaldra tokens to throw. But that's just a different version of the deck, and less about doming someone for a comically large amount of damage with my commander. Anybody have any thoughts? I'm sure there's something I'm missing to cheat stuff into play, or make a REALLY big creature. Mostly I feel like I don't have enough for the deck's main theme of flinging. I could probably cut some removal and a board wipe for some more card draw. I also think the ramp could use an update, White has better ways to get lands into play now. I think I also have a sword of the animist I should throw in.

I didn't realize they made another version of Serra Avatar that you can actually reanimate! Malignus is spicy too. Deflecting Palm and Boros Charm are also pretty great cards that I can even tutor for with Sunforger. Mimic Vat also does some fun things as well. On the ramp side, that's pretty close to what I'm currently running.
