Batterypowered7 posted:If you all had to pick your favorite cEDH and your favorite non-cEDH decks (say ~7/10, in your personal opinion), what would they be? Toss up some links if you've got 'em! cEDH Favorites: Najeela Midrange Emry's Crazy Taxi Tymna/Jeska Turbo Mad Farm High Powered Favorites: Sen Triplets Yoink! Kenrith Twins Superfriends Storm Others: Nahiri's Armory Gisa Shrugged (In Progress) The problem with the high powered decks is they stand in that "rear end in a top hat Tier" range where they're too degenerate for casual tables but aren't positioned well for cEDH tables. So, I don't get to play them as much.

Bust Rodd posted:This was a great example of why Stax pods require a lot of intention before the game even starts. I saw we were playing a pod of Winota and Urza so I decided not to play my own Heliod Stax onto that pod and it was still a nightmare. In any of those triple/quad Stax games, I always feel like one of the Stax decks (the one with countermagic) is gonna be heavily favored. This is why I gotta build Minsc for our pods, I need an Anti-Stax Stax list, we got too many Stax!!!! It's because you fuckers have some weird aversion to blue and a fetish for dragging the game out insufferably. It's why Najeela and Malcolm keep eating your lunch.

That's really the only time they're a threat because otherwise, Kaalia is just a target for every cheap removal spell in the game. Beyond the removal and ramp suite, cards you're missing that aren't dragons (some of which have already been mentioned): Dragon Tempest Orb of Dragonkind Lightning Greaves Dragonspeaker Shaman Dragonlord's Servant Haven of the Spirit Dragon

pseudanonymous posted: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. I've always wanted to build a W/B keyword soup deck with Falthis and Akroma, Vision of Ixidor just because I think it's funny Akroma makes cat a 5/5.

Railing Kill posted:I need ideas for a RB commander. It is my everlasting shame as someone who usually played red Sligh and suicide black back in standard and extended in the 90's that I haven't found a RB commander that clicks with me yet. I guess it doesn't need to be aggro, but that would just be a bonus. Anything interesting would do. I recently tried Strefan Maurer but found it underwhelming compared to Edgar Markov. I also tried a Kardur artifact deck that just isn't working. I might be overthinking that one and should just try it some more, but I'm also shopping for a RB commander that really pops.

Dizz posted:it goes back to the commander zone but still hits on death triggers from what i heard. it's a weird rule with people trying to steal commanders when they hit the GY. Commanders still hit the graveyard or exile and a state-based effect gives the owner the option to move it to the command zone after that. That's the rules change. Originally, the effect was defined as a replacement effect that prevented the card from ever hitting the zone. This actually changed how cards like Grasp of Fate interacted with commanders. Originally, if you moved the card to the command zone as a replacement, and Grasp was later removed, you'd get your commander back to the field for free. That is no longer the case since the Grasp effect doesn't follow the card from the exile zone to the command zone.

Bust Rodd posted:Turns out all the airlines that dropped mask mandates have a huge staffing shortage You're saying this as if any of the U.S. based carriers are still mandating them. I'm pretty sure the only exception to this is some carriers still require masks on international flights which go to countries who still have mandates in place.

Johnny Truant posted:Ah that's the background I didn't snag in my commander draft, dang yeah that's a great combo. I'm doing the izzet Planeswalker partner combo as my commanders, otherwise I'd be all about that. The OG Kenrith Twins are one of my pet decks. It's fragile as gently caress, but when it pops off, it is top-tier masturbation.

N-N-N-NINE BREAKER posted:In a selesnya deck, would you run knight of the white orchid and loyal warhound if you're going to run the two mana land-ramp sorceries (farseek, nature's lore, into the north, three visits, rampant growth)? or is it one or the other, and would you rather run the sorceries or the creatures, if so? You would rather run all the green mana dorks (even Boreal Druid) before you'd run the white "ramp" creatures.

Sitting in a circle is the best orientation, but round tables for gaming are typically too big, putting people too far away from the person across from them. The width of the typical rectangular gaming table is more conducive to magic playmats.

Aranan posted:I have absolutely no idea if it's true or not, but cartoons from when I was little convinced me that elephants are afraid of mice. This is a myth...kind of. Elephants have lovely eye sight, and anything that can zip/scurry around them fast enough to surprise them freaks them out. This goes for snakes and any number of other small animals. But the idea that mice can climb up their trunks to suffocate them or whatever is false.

Bust Rodd posted:Personally I don’t see how this deck ever beats a Najeela so I’m super excited for the TO report. It doesn’t. Its plan for Najeela is let everyone else deal with Najeela. I’m not joking. Najeela is such a boogie man that it is easy to look like the least threatening deck at the table until they start chaining turn spells. My Kenrith Twins deck operates on the same gameplan (although it isn’t quite cEDH level). It’s all ramp to get Will out and ensure he survives one turn, then I start chaining cheap turns with his minus ability until I can start looping walkers with Cloudstone Curio.
