How do folks usually play werewolves in Commander? Do you keep a proxy deck on the side? That way, you don’t have to unsleeve your cards for the day-night cycle flips?

I suspect the answer is, “lol, memorize what they do when they're flipped.” I want to see the cool wolf art, though.

I put a proxy in the deck and the card sleeved in transparent on the side. Then I swap as soon as I play the card.

I got a Zur, from when I bought a coldsnap bof as a teen, I could probably make a busted deck with that guy.

I really should make another Zur deck and just use it as Necropotence in the command zone. Fuckin' love Necropotence.

I have seen a comedy "Voltron" Zur deck before. It was bad, but it was at least a different take.

That's the one I have right now lol. I just had a bunch of old bad cards and improvised a commander deck to play with my friends. So I do have a Zur deck, it's just a bad one.

Jyhad could never be good because of the inherent inequality and kingmaking of the format. It could be "fun" at times, but never good. A real shame to see other games chase that dragon and also come to the same conclusion.

I know there's a discord group still playing I joined and then I never played. I'd be willing to give it another shot. Still got my Casino Reeds/Cock Robin deck.

pseudanonymous posted:

It was like everything, a perfect example was him turboing out an inner circle member when he was being bled by stealth bleed and then he played one of those votes that changed the table order and people voted for it because he was going to be ousted if it didn't pass, they did, so of course, he ultimately won the game.

That was just one example though. Like he'd play a location you could steal with a d action and if people actually stole it he'd cry because his deck wouldn't work. A couple of people in the group really didn't care about winning, V:tES was just a way to hang out and joke around, so to keep the peace they'd just sort of let him do what he wanted.

Man, if you play Powerbase Montreal and need it for your deck to function, put some blockers in your deck.

I wanted to get Painbow to make a Domain deck but it seems like it won't actually help with that so I'll just make one myself.

Also trying to make a Rebbec/Armix deck. I know Silas-Renn would be better but I don't have him.

LanceKing2200 posted:

Something I do when looking for cuts is arrange all the cards by CMC/MV, and cut things that are either the most expensive or that you have a lot of (you don't want twenty 4 drops for example).

Also pay attention to the CMC/MV of your commander, if you know you're going to want to play your commander ASAP every game, keep that CMC/MV slot light, as you know you'll always have something to play at that cost.

Alright, gonna cut a lot of 3 and 4 cmv cards then haha.

Check the commander partner combo on EDHrec for the higher synergy and most commonly used cards would be my next step. You don't have to follow their decklist to the letter of course, but it's a good resource for seeing what other players are using in that deck and why.

That's how I started, but now I'm at too many cards haha. You do want some CMC variety in a Rebbec deck to cover good protection.

Got it down to 123 cards for now: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/AJ3qFFvJp0SYNWo4rJNHHQ

Are all 19 vehicles necessary? Crewing a giant plow is hilarious but if you had another vehicle out which would you crew. And the two mana diamonds. And how many targets does ashnod transmorgant actually have?

But don't take my word as gospel, I'm a poo poo tier deck builder.

It's mostly for Rebbec herself.

I'm probably gonna swap some of those vehicles for artifact creatures, yeah. I jsut like vehicles, I think they're neat!

I can replace the two mana diamonds with stuff if they're bad. I have no clue how to make a Commander mana base lol.

Yeah you could most likely upgrade the Necron deck to be a beat. Trazyn could go infinite with the right setup as his own commander.

But the deck is just so stylish I'm not sure I want to upgrade it lol.
