Threading the needle of casual and "competitive" is pretty drat hard. Especially considering the nature of 99 card singleton and getting random draws. One of my more chill decks is my goblin deck but it still ended up feeling oppressive from the right draw. I was against some newish players and decided gently caress it and kept a 1 land hand because it also had Goblin Lackey, Siege Gang Commander, and Goblin Chieftain. Lucked into drawing Warren Instigator and Krenko in the first couple turns and it got out of hand fast since no one had the mana for most wipes yet. At least locally, most of the time when someone complains about a deck being a "CEDH deck" it wouldn't stand the slightest chance at an actually competitive table, they're just mad it beat them.

The dude to my right hit my Thada Adel with a Condemn. It wasn't even going at him! I think he had some big artifacts that he didn't want me to exile/steal on later turns and he just went ahead and got rid of the creature. He also hit Anowon with a Swords to Plowshares earlier and a Blighted Agent with Path to Exile (he had gained a ton of life and I was going to Infect him out of the game). I had a lot of poo poo thrown my way, is what I mean. Then he cast a Void Winnower and I used a Halo Forager to use his own Swords to Plowshares on it, lol.

So does that also trigger if you mindslaver someone and cast their spells?

My dumb Ghyrson Starn deck actually won a game tonight after a couple month no win streak and I'm kinda sad. The deck is just amazing at infuriating opponents by pinging them over and over until the whole board teams up to trade how much damage each person can take to neutralize my board and then just bodies me. Which happened again tonight, but I was able to claw my way through it and drop two players causing the third to scoop since I had several cards in hand (a bunch of lands) and he just got board wiped.

Got a cEDH win in today on xMage with Adeline, cEDH winconless stax. Was playing against Talion, Sidar Kondo/Tymna, and RogSi. We got the RogSi player low and they killed themselves with an Ad Naus. I played a well-timed Orim's Chant earlier in the game against the Sidar Kondo/Tymna player and then stuck an Archon of Emeria and an Eidolon of Rhetoric, allowing me to slow things down enough to set the pace of the game. The Adeline was constantly pressuring the Talion player and Bennie Bracks drew me an extra card on each of my turns. It was great!

Oh, I've been playing it frequently in my small play group over the last couple months. And at the precise moment I dealt 21 damage to each player and wiped the board on a single turn on my first game was the moment it started getting hatefucked off the board every game. I've tuned it enough now that I can usually hang until the games are nearing their conclusion anyways, but I genuinely don't care if the deck wins or not. It's a fun chaotic deck thats lets me make silly finger gun gestures. I may throw treasure nabber in for some good old "Our manarocks comrade  " fun.

So far every time I play Eriette I become the main threat on the table and everyone conspires against me, which I'm taking as a sign that the deck is working. True to the cartoon villain stereotype, it's never won because the other guys use the power of friendship to team up and storm my castle. Its so fun. Last week my friend was playing an upgraded eldrazi precon and I put Glistening Oil on his commander (tldr each of my upkeeps it gets -1/-1/ but has infect the whole time) and he couldn't attack me because it was enchanted. So he spot removed eriette in order to attack me and I flashed in Swift Reconfiguration to turn his commander into a vehicle. He didn't have enough creatures to crew it. I felt like a Bond villain and another friend died laughing at the stupid layers of idiocy going on. Eventually they killed me through commander damage as the upgraded imperium deck player was tired of having Trespassers Curse (drains them when a creature enters their board) so the eldrazi guy and him teamed up to kill me. One of them activated rogues passage to let the other commander one shot me through my little army of Pegasi. 10/10 deck experience so long as you can have fun playing the villain.

Just got back from a very good commander tournament that had some incredible turnout. This tournament was Bingo/Point based and it didn't matter much if you won. But you would get a certain amount of points for certain criteria for being met. A lot of them had without infinite combo modifier so they had some really fun ones that everyone in the pod had to witness. The theme of tonight was cats and I was the only player to bring out my Cat commander:  This is a heavily modified precon to include muuuuch faster equipments and more umph artifacts. Like The Kaldra set. This deck also tutors for equipment answers while trying to find smaller cats that can at least quickly benefit early on. I was able to get points for having the most equipment on a single permanent as well as deal over 50 damage commander in a single swing. As well as other things! It was a really neat concept and everyone at this LGS had a fuckin blast. I unfortunately got 7th place but I at least got a pizza and soda dinner for only spending 5 bucks to sign up for the tournament.

Whoa that's a cool commander, I'm not surprised I hadn't seen it before since I mostly ignore commanders over 3-4 CMC but that passive effect makes up for the cost in my book. Wouldn't mind a cats deck either.

That's mostly because that commander deck release wave also had a wizards/spells deck, The Ur-Dragon, and Edgar Markov, which all mostly overshadowed Cat Deck barring some cool equipment it had. Waxed a pod of people at a Precon-Only tournament back then with it, though. Only person who picked that deck. (Second round everyone was terrified of me and I was curbstomped but lmao success)

Lost a game last night, I was playing The Beamtown Bullies and gave an opponent Hunted Wumpus. Player next in turn order dropped some angel creature where you just win the game in your upkeep if you had >= 40 life. They had 41 and we had no removal

My wife wants me to make her a Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy / Scion of Halaster deck. How does that kind of deck even win in a 4-player game? I'm guessing you want to get a little value from playing a bunch of cheap spells that let you cast other cheap spells, but it seems like everything is just 1 for 1. UB is the most popular combination on EDHrec, but like, how does it win?

And effects like Thassa's Oracle and Laboratory Maniac can work well with the amount of card draw you have in a deck like that. Between that and what Batterypowered7 mentioned, it's clear you can go for anything in blue/black that turns casting a bunch of spells into winning the game.
