Spanish Manlove posted:That's not the point. The point is to draw a card, play a land, and then say "your turn" in the most passive aggressive way possible. There is an actual version of this that's maelstrom wanderer, kiki-jiki, some other crrature card that goes infinite with kiki-jiki, and then 97 lands. But this is to just be a dick to those friends of yours. I think just playing lands without some kind of gimmick is a bit much, and these are the only friends I have so, I'm stuck with them until I manage to rope in more people into our mtg games. The Kiki jiki idea sounds cool though, so basically play maelstrom maurauder as my commander cascade in Kiki jiki and hopefully have the other creature that combos with it?

That's basically it, you play the commander and the cascade into the only two creatures in your deck then instantly win. It's a stupid gimmick that works once then never again.

Zealous Conscripts ETBs, respond to the ETB trigger by making a copy with Kiki-Jiki, token copy ETBs, use the token copy's ETB trigger to gain control of and untap Kiki-Jiki, tap Kiki-Jiki to make another copy of Zealous Conscripts. Repeat until you have enough copies of Zealous Conscripts to completely overrun your opponents' board states and swing.

Johnny Truant posted:I would bet my entire sliver deck against that goon's that this us the exact scenario I mean, in fairness to them, I do win with my kaalia dragon tribal, they just complain when I misplay and "throw" the game to the wrong person; Maybe they'll whack a mole if I play more competitive sliver decks, but this hasn't been the norm. Albeit a lot of those wins were because I misread the artifact that's "sacrifice this for three mana of one colour" to mean "three different colours" so I was Seto kaibaing kaalia turn 1 and swinging with dragons turn 2. Whoops! In my defense they didn't read the card either. And sadly this has reduced my win rate.

I mean, if we're suggesting being passive-aggressive about it, go full on and build like an Eriette stax/pillowfort deck with Ghostly Prison, Sphere of Safety, Blind Obedience, tax creatures, and a ton of auras that leave the opponents' creatures and artifacts in play but unable to do anything. "Fine, I don't get to play what I want so neither do you." (Note that I'm not suggesting you actually DO this as it is, as mentioned, rabidly passive-aggressive.)

MrL_JaKiri posted:Sounds like there's already one of those at the table To be clear they played stax just the one time, they don't regularly play that deck. It wasn't too bad the one time for a 4 player EDH game because enough people had responses, but it stopped the Slivers cold as I didn't have any mana rock slivers out. That player does like to play all sorts of spicy decks though. Like the Commander who whenever a player discards or sacrifices a permament they get it in play under their control for free.

Throw your deck lists in a deck builder rather than text. Moxfield or Archidekt are best.

So I've played the Angels secret lair deck a few times with Giada as the commander and I've really liked it. Anyone tweaked it and have suggestions? I know I'm putting an Akroma in, but mostly for sentimental reasons as I know she's fallen way behind the power curve.

A card that costs 8 mana that can win you the game in 15 turns, what’s not to like? If it’s fun though to you play it. You want to run more stuff that cares about angels and generates angels, especially if it’s repeatable like angel token creators. pseudanonymous fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Oct 6, 2023 |

I won. But at what cost? I did kinda feel bad as once I got the infinite mana combo off and it was starting to take time even with the faster means of doing cascade, but so I offered to not play First Sliver in the deck or the deck anymore but they said the deck was fine, they literally just felt it wasn't fun specifically playing against the First Sliver as a Commander which is a little wild to me because clearly this deck is just way stronger and even faster and way more consistent but alright I guess? I'll remove some of the other cards I thought were a bit much like Time Spiral, I'll add in Constricting Sliver as I didn't really have an answer for Indestructible Artifacts. This was a 4 player game, I brought in a new friend to play with us, he was a little surprised at the power levels of some of the decks, and vowed to bring in something more appropriate.

Seems kinda like a list of every single card the store owner or his friend have ever lost to. Like you can imagine someone playing a planeswalker they forgot to ban and seeing them just get up and add it to the list and demanding you leave or they call the police. Or them allowing you to play any random creature, and then you put an equipment on it and attack them with it and they just add it to the list.

I was almost kicked out of a game store once because of a misunderstanding. I was trying to play games but it was so crowded and the only spot was on the ground by the window with the Sun's glare in my eyes so I suggested we move to a different spot to like the cafe but the owners thought I was trying to steal their business or something. I only heard about this afterwards and just never went back because gently caress them.

My Giada list always wanted/wants more card draw. You know what’s good for card draw? The One Ring. Also that stupid card won me a game when I played it and gained protection from everything the turn after a dude generated a million trampling tokens. He could only kill the other players at the table, then I swung in for lethal commander damage next turn.
