Six is a reasonable cmc if you dedicate towards it. My brother's been playing Narset, Enlightened Master since 2014. Black and Red are short term mana colors, and green has its ramp, so if you don't mind eating poo poo when Dark Ritual gets Miscast sometimes, it's attainable.

The fundamental flaw with all these arguments is that there are people who believe with unshakable certainty that the power level they like is the objectively correct one. Thus, anything but immediately assimilating yourself, dehumanizing yourself and face to battlecruisers, is worthy of only scorn.

The Shortest Path posted:https://twitter.com/ghirapurigears/status/1530207887863083009 It scales directly with how many opponents you have. In a standard CLB draft of 4 players, you draw 3 cards while each opponent gets 1.

I truly, sincerely, honestly, from the bottom of my loving heart think every cEDH player would be a million billion times happier playing a format suited for what they actually want out of the game. Bonus: no more Sheldon. Nah. I like my 8th card that is a dragon that gobbles up everything.

The optimal four player layout is the alcatraz tower on kaibacorp island from yu gi oh with the seats that go up if the player loses life points.  This would also mean players who play massive life gain are buried deep in the earth where they loving belong.

Wicker Picker makes every creature have sticker kicker, which helps Hallar, the Firefletcher and Verazol, the Split Current with one of their current problems (there's like seven good kicker cards). I think it's funny that you don't even care about the stickers, it's all about kicking Llanowar Elves.

Flash had needed a ban for a long time for anything besides Flash Hulk to be viable. It was kind of stupid. I don't think anyone expected that by the time Flash got it, THB would introduce two whole new avenues for instant wins in Thoracle and Breach. Still, they're a lot easier to deal with than Flash Hulk ever was. Far far harder to do on turn 1, especially.

There's a lot of ETBT lands with weird properties. The MDFC spell/lands except for the mythics enter tapped, so Bala Ged Sanctuary and Glasspool Shore among others. The bridges ETBT. Every land with Cycling that adds colored mana also ETBT, which includes a full fourth of the deserts. Same with colored ebt life gain lands. The Depletion lands and the Fallen Empires sacrifice goobers, that add two colored mana for one land drop, also ETBT. There's a lot of one-off lands like Hall of the Bandit Lord and Field of the Dead that ETBT but sometimes they're win conditions. There are only four Island Mountains and Niv-Mizzet, Parun costs UUURRR. That one matters most to me.

Batterypowered7 posted:The real question is: How many of the cards are worth playing/being your Commander? They really slow, as they try to accrue advantage through repeated converting, but most of them do it through attacking triggers, and Ratchet has a hard one per turn limit to prevent bottle gnomes infinite life loops. If you really want too, Megatron or Flamewar are your best bets, I think.

Tism the Dragon Tickler posted:I wonder what the single card is that most differentiates a deck as being cEDH instead of a regular high power deck. It's probably Chrome Mox or Mox Diamond? Maybe one of the weirder interaction pieces but those are all color restricted. Mana Crypt costs over $180 in paper and is an optimal choice for literally every deck, without exception. There's decks that can argue no chrome mox due to artifact count, decks without LED combos, and decks where Jeweled Lotus is mostly useless, but until someone invents the deck with no generic costs, Mana Crypt is in it.

The constant 8th card in my opening hand, my commander, offers a degree of consistency that other formats lack. No matter what I draw I always have Korvold, so no matter what I draw, it's dinner for the dragon. I can have completely different draws of the 99 and yet the result is a consistent deck because it's all focused on big yums for my big boy.
