A Moose posted:I think it depends on what kind of meta you're playing in, and what kind of deck. How important is it that you get ramp on turns 1 and 2? You probably don't need to hold up removal or counterspells on turn 1 or 2 outside cEDH. How bad is playing a tapped fast land as your 5th land going to gently caress you? Yeah, this. In non-cEDH games, the chances that a slowland will come into play tapped and that actually has a material impact on the game is vanishingly rare. If you're intentionally playing a deck with a ton of 1 and 2 mana plays that you absolutely want to play right on curve, maybe you'd look for a different solution, but that's a very narrow selection of EDH deck archetypes.

Toshimo posted:In a 2-color deck without specific other synergies, my order would be: This is very close to what I do. Always shocks and battle bond lands. I like filters, painlands and pathways and usually don't need slow or fast lands. I always use terramorphic expanse and evolving wilds but that's just me.

It's not linearly valuable, though; e.g., having an untapped land T2 is usually more important than an untapped land T7.

Doesn't seem like much of an issue if you're keeping a three-land hand in a two-color deck. I imagine at least one of the other two that come into play untapped will have the color you're most likely to need during the first two turns, based on the keep.

Aphrodite posted:What’s typically used as proxies in cedh tournaments? Is paper popped in front a real card still the thing there? Considering how crazy some people are in those I wouldn’t be surprised if they can’t do that because of the tiny thickness difference. You do what I do and just proxy everything even the commons I own and basic lands, for consistency. As long as they're in color and legible, no problems over here.

Spanish Manlove posted:yeah, you should maybe consider a few evasion things like Whispersilk Cloak and Security Bypass and Swordcoast Sailor Aphrodite posted:But don't you have to be smacking them in the face with Obeka anyway? I've played the deck a handful of times now. It sure takes a lot of Game Actions, tracking things through 5+ upkeeps gets sort of obnoxious. I played against a Paradox Haze deck and getting upkeeps right away makes Obeka a step up.

Academy would be like $3k at least, it'd be the best card in the format by far Strip Mine and Wasteland would also skyrocket because everyone would kinda be forced to run both at that point

Looks like the Commander deck face commanders for three of the decks and a few other cards, some more readable than the others. https://www.reddit.com/r/MTGRumors/comments/1cc2lip/new_leak_floating_around_mh3/

Queen of Vesuva gives lands and creatures "everything" counters, which gives them all lands and creature types, respectively. The land part sounds exciting potentially.

the Jund commander is quote:Whenever a Lurghoyf permanent card is put into your graveyard from anywhere other than the battlefield, put it onto the battlefield the eldrazi commander is quote:Whenever you cast an eldrazi spell you may pay :colorless: :colorless: , if you do copy all spells you control then copy all triggered and activated abilities you control And queen of Veszuva is quote:When <name> enters the battlefield or attacks put an Everything counter on each of up to one target land and one target creature. Lands with an everything counter on it are every land type in addition to their other types, creatures with everything counters on them are every creature type The alternate commander for the Simic deck is an elemental with quote:Whenever <name> enters the battlefield create a 1/1 forest dryad creature land for every time you've cast your commander this game.

Some cards say Kindred in the typeline. I wonder if that's meant to replace the Tribal supertype or if it's a new one.

It's replacing the tribal supertype. They made that decision when Khans of Tarkir got released on arena. They haven't gone through and done the oracle text update on all the old Tribal cards yet.

Kindred is only the supertype/“creature type on a non-creature” mechanic. Typal is still used everywhere else Tribal used to be, but that does mean it probably won’t ever end up printed on a card.

Drake's gonna be an interesting include in my Araumi of the Dead Tide deck. It's floor is basically a pongify that can hit indestructibles, and <=4 cmc creatures make up a good chunk of the format if you want to keep a creature.

Toshimo posted:It doesn't hurt a 13th Dr deck any worse than any board wipe that doesn't cost 6. The thing is that all of Farewell's (or all the rest of this black equivalent's) effects are equalizing enough to have plausible collateral; sure, only one person at the table might be using artifacts heavily enough for exiling them all to matter, but it's still gonna hurt everyone somehow. A board wipe hurts me, but it hurts everyone else. But a counter wipe actually feels way more targeted, because I rarely see more than one player at a table using them. This kinda just spurs me into making my Mirri deck, though, make sure I have something that can throw down that isn't counters. At least if you wanna board wipe Mirri, you board wipe everyone else including yourself.

I mean to be fair, th e counterwipe only hurts experience energy and self-rad, which is approximately 0.1% of decks. It's a weird include on the card but the card is also bad and the interaction will probably come up in one in ten thousand games.

You're gonna sit there and tell me that Wizards using up one of the modes for this direct-to-Modern card just so it can assblast Battles was not a good use of card real estate?!
