Kediss is really good, he's in a comp deck. You can also use him with infect to kill all your opponents at once with a one-punch deck, which I think is pretty funny.

The rest are ok. I thought it would be fun to make a deck with five color commanders matter using the friends forever with Eleven and Mike to play all the familiars. And maybe a bunch of the lieutenants too and all the "if you commander" and "commnaders you" and # of times you cast your commander cards.

But I woudln't say they are particularly good. Esior is nice in that you can get him out before an important commander and your commander comes out with Ward. Anara and Keleth are meh, Falthis you could use to give a pinger commander deathtouch which would be obnoxious, but I don't know if its "good".

I meant the real Familiars, from Planeshift

Mystic Repeal should be a staple in every deck that runs green if your meta has any amount of problem enchantments or Theros gods in the player pool. It's basically a better Nature's Claim like 99% of the time(edit: when it comes to strictly Enchantment removal :ssh: ), because tucking a card is almost always better than destroying one.

Alright, here's another attempt at a deck with a solid game plan: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/suWR5A_JfE-spJuioCRNLg

Am I headed in the right direction? Any cards that shouldn't be there? Any cards that definitely should?

You can build a good Gargos deck for less than $50, especially since it doesn't NEED expensive rocks to function. I think the most expensive card in my personal Gargos deck is Guardian Project, and it's only in there because I had one lying around.

They need to just errata all of the shrine creatures to Enchantment Creature - Shrine Spirit, it'd solve the problem. Everyone was similarly confused when Gingerbrute was revealed and Maro had to clarify that Food isn't it's creature type, Golem is.

I don't like this format (find it painfully slow and boring) but the group I've been meeting up with play this most of the time.

Can someone point me to a deck or two that will either help me win quickly or otherwise help me lose quickly? In other words, high risk, high reward.

So looking at these two, I feel like Jinnie Fay has a much easier build with a much easier game plan that functions independently from her. Fewer bad hands, fewer dead draws, so i would pobably use her.

Ziatora also has a really frustrating issue where they are a 6 drop RBG dragon that cares about sacrificing things and this other 5 drop RBG dragon that cares about sacrificing things happens to be one of the strongest creatures ever printed, so trying to brew the deck in the shadow of Korvold, the Fae-Cursed King is really weird.

Hello Commander goons. Can anyone compile or help me find a list of the most popular/common tokens made in Commander? I'm thinking about doing some big charity project and my LGS is a Commander hot spot, but I haven't played Commander with anyone in years. Thanks!

Utility tokens would be way more useful/cooler than any creature tokens. In addition to the aforementioned treasure/food/clue/monarch, it'd be nice to see Poison Counter, Energy Counter, City's Blessing, Companion and Adventure tokens along with maybe Command Zone and Phasing cards

Yeah I realized that once I saw the answers. Treasure wasn't a thing when I was actively playing, but there's all the ones you mentioned also.

I used to run Cat Draft events where I'd raise money for the cat adoption place I volunteer at, and I'd make tokens. Jeff Menges lived nearby at the time and he'd do some token once in a while also. I was thinking Commander this time around instead of a draft. I already have a Kitty's (City's) Blessing token I made for myself, so that's a start.

Oh, you're the cat token person! Definitely make a poison token that's just a litterbox with stink lines coming from it please :v:

Edit: Adventure token that's a housecat sniffing around under a parked car while its owner tries to lure it out with treats

Here's a rules question for you.

I am building a Vazi, Keen Negotiator deck focused on giving my opponents treasure tokens while destroying their lands to force them to spend treasure. I am calling it the NFT deck.

If I include an Upwelling and someone casts an artifact destruction spell of some sort, say, and my opponents respond by popping their treasures into their Mana pool which does not empty, and they use it on a later turn, does it still count as being from a treasure source?

Are you running Structural Assault and stuffy doll/brash taunter for shits and giggles?

My only complaint about TTJ is that Joe needs to learn how to properly mix audio because I couldn't hear poo poo during the first episode, and I haven't watched any since

He also may have turned things around, because he hosted wotc's official new Capenna prerelease stream, so maybe he's not as much of a sore player as he used to be?

Idk, I'm not defending him but I believe in second chances, and Joe was always charismatic and funny on IHYD, so I'm willing to give him another shot

Well yeah, I know that. Most of the decks I play do exactly that. I also play in a playgroup full of people who have barely upgraded precon level decks. It's not normally my jam, but they're my friends and I like playing with them so I try to have one or two decks that can play around in that level.

I feel like I'm always repeating myself, but Gargos fight club is a good mid power deck for casual tables. Just jam ol' Gargles and a bunch of fight/bite/protection spells that target your dudes, a few synergistic cards like Season of Growth and big dumb creatures that can help with the strategy of "nah gently caress your creatures son", like thorn mammoth, hungering and ironscale hydra

Best part is you can toss together a fully functional version for like $20 or less

Yeah, it's my favorite edh deck to play when I don't feel like thinking too hard :v:

Also talking about it reminded me that I need to upgrade a few of the spells in it with newer ones, because I haven't bought anything since AFR so the deck could definitely use Prizefight, Tamiyo's Protection and Clear Shot over a few of the older, less than stellar fight spells

Edit: also don't forget to jam a Reflective Golem in the deck, it's innocuous enough that almost nobody knows what the hell it is, so you can surprise boardwipe with a prey upon and some extra mana floating :)
