Starlight Spectacular from Unfinity can put out a lot of damage if you're able to consistently have four or more creatures on the battlefield (note that it counts all your creatures, not just the ones you swing with, so any that are staying back to block or for utility can go at the start of the parade).

MonsieurChoc posted:I got my BRO precons in the mail today. They look good! Not sure if it's on purpose or not, but one of the multicolor cards in mine had the washed-out yellow frame, and the rest had the more saturated gold. Was like flipping through actual old cards. The retro frame Command Tower might be my favorite card, as silly as that sounds.

ChiTownEddie posted:I have two tribal decks (horrors and zombies) that play a bit differently, but I think I want a more spell slinger-y deck... probably Izzet? Does anyone have a fun recommendation to get me going? Otherwise I guess I'll start by using Niv and tossing a ton of instants and sorceries and trying to figure out a wincon haha. Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph with a deck full of cantrips that do 1, and things that trigger and do 1 when other stuff happens. Win con is "pew pew pew". If your play group doesn't mind a silver bordered commander (could have the 99 be all non-acorn), then Alexander Clamilton seems like a fun build-around.

Khanstant posted:Has anyone played a Vanilla tribal deck, I was wanting to pair this next weird thing I'm building with something more normal and chill and seems like there are actually a few good specific commander options for vanilla tribal. The better ones still have some non-vanilla synergy creatures but I think I'd wanna go all vanilla besides commander. There is a vanilla commander option though, might as well go all-in. If it's just not amusing I could easily upgrade it to spicy since I'm pretty sure swapping vanilla creatures is the easiest deckbuilding cuts I'll ever have to make. I used to joke that my next deck would be Jasmin Boreal with all vanilla creatures. Then they went and printed Jasmine Boreal of the Seven, and I’m not entirely sure it’s a joke anymore. I think the more powerful build would be to also include Ruxa, Patient Professor and basically just make a deck that goes wide with tokens, but running actual vanilla creatures is the fun route. Alternatively, using Ruxa as the commander and then basically making Bear Force One would probably work too.

meanolmrcloud posted:I'm new to edh, and this would be like my second ever deck. I like sagas as a theme, but this seems very low power. any suggestions to bump up the salt? im also thinking of another mana rock or two, but it sucks to make cuts for a mana rock. there are a few top end enchantments, like debtors knell or captive audience that i could add, but i'm not positive there what i need. is something like fires of invention good in edh? is it worth a spot? You're running too few lands and very little ramp, so I think your main issue is going to be casing any of the 4-cost or up spells. Add one more of each basic land, and 3-4 more mana rocks, and you might actually get to cast Extinguish All Hope before turn 11. I do really like Hex Parasite in a sagas deck, and your draw with discard should work well with Ghen.

Koopa Kid posted:But just in terms of raw card price right this moment, Rebellion Rising has value and the normally reprint and value hungry community seems to be not just sleeping on it but driving up the price of a worse deck and that’s wild to me. Maybe the cost is more driven by how much people want to play them. If the value of the reprints is still less than he cost of the deck, then people will just buy the two singles they want. Meanwhile the people intending to play them are gravitating towards “Phyrexian Angel toxic/corrupted” over “Yet-Another-Boros-Equipment”.

Nehru the Damaja posted:It's come to my attention that one of my old cards has skyrocketed in price. I had that happen recently. I noticed a lot of people in games on YouTube running Lotus Petal, which I previously figured was a bit too short-term for commander. So I started considering other cards in the same quick boost kind of category. Dark Ritual can only go in decks with black, but why don’t more people who run Lotus Petal also run City Of Traitors? $12 vs $350 is a pretty good reason. I had a playset that I got back in 2004 for a Type 1.5 tournament, and never really liked the play style of them anyways, so it was a pretty easy decision to trade them in and get 90% of my wish list instead.

Speaking of which, the enchantments Myrkul makes are tokens, so Jaheira, Friend of the Forest gets extra value out of any creatures that are there for their static/triggered abilities. Also, Death Denied can help rebuild later on in the game if there isn't a ton of graveyard hate going on.

I normally don’t buy any premium priced Magic stuff, but I do like opening packs and usually get a box of set boosters for any regularly priced set. Commander Masters seemed like a fun set though, so I was considering breaking my rule if it was anywhere up to double what I normally spend on a set. Preorders just became available, and it’s just over four times the price of a regular set. Probably not even going to make a singles order because of that. Completely killed any interest I had in it.

pseudanonymous posted:Most of the precons can't deal 120 damage by turn 10 with 0 opposition without some kind of manufactured "god draw". I've never understood this metric. Is this assuming that all three other players are just playing solitaire combo? I see why it works for things like mill or poison (well, infect, since toxic also does damage) where you're doing something a bit outside the regular game mechanics. But why would one deck need to do 100% of the damage to beat everyone else? What are the other decks doing?

It looks like it gets to play with all sorts of fun junk that I really enjoy and move things between zones a bunch, which is like my favorite thing in Magic. But does it have any real outlet to win? There's a bunch of artifacts that can put cards from your graveyard on the bottom of your library (like Reito Lantern), so using the cookbook repeatedly shouldn't be an issue. My first instinct is to try to make a bunch of food tokens so Asmo can work as a removal cannon (Giant's Skewer seems fun), and for the win condition use group-slug ETB creatures that can be repeated with the cookbook (like Gray Merchant of Asphodel). Past that you'd want a bunch of other reanimate spells, and if you're leaning more on the red ETB creatures then damage doublers (like Solphim, Mayhem Dominus). generatrix fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Apr 14, 2023 |
