Commander Discussion / Re: Is Mr. House himself actually good? (trying to understand the next Mardu build)

This is the Avg deck from Edhrec. (though I just made it a bit fancier.)

So I will keep that in mind.

Currently waiting on the full set to be spoiled, because you know there will be something else.

Commander Discussion / Is Mr. House himself actually good? (trying to understand the next Mardu build)

Mr. House, President and CEO

I get how he increases the things you can do with Dice Cards (upping the value) and how Dice 20 cards combo with him.

But is the extra 3/3 token and treasures token generation going to win games and or protect himself.

In Edh where stuff is getting tougher and tougher...

Or will he just crumble anyway by turn 10?

Commander Discussion / Re: Smothering Tithe..... is it currently worth it? (from a Mardu standpoint)

Currently still debating around some removal/ token replacers. Since they might have more of an impact in a Ceasar deck. (specifically where you can double and triple them.) (currently busy, so haven't put all my focus here yet.)

I am just saying I think Magic is getting faster, too the point where I question if slow gains actually work anymore.

(aka the importantance about turn 8 stuff has really been on my mind lately.)

Commander Discussion / Smothering Tithe..... is it currently worth it? (from a Mardu standpoint)

« on: November 22, 2023, 06:47:51 pm »

I feel like Smothering Tithe is overrated.

Yes it is good treasure generation for white.... but I feel like some deck (like some Mardu decks) want to be more direct by turn 4.

Aka to use the upcoming two Mardu Commanders as examples.

I feel like smothering tithe fits a Mr. House deck then a Ceasar one.

(Currently looking at replacements, there are good ones for more creature token generation...)

Looks Like Fallout...

You will find out more Fallout stuff likely on Bomb day. (aka Monday, 23rd of October, in the fallout universe it's the day when everything was nuked.)

To reveal: from the new set.

Caesar, Legion's Emperor
{1}{R}{W}{B}
Legendary Creature — Human Soldier

Whenever you attack, you may sacrifice another creature. When you do, choose two—

• Create two 1/1 red and white Soldier creature tokens with haste that are tapped and attacking.

• You draw a card and you lose 1 life.

• Caesar, Legion’s Emperor deals damage equal to the number of creature tokens you control to target opponent.

4/4

I can see how this commander can be powerful....

The only problem is, I also someone at the table betraying you, making you instantly the archenemy without you knowing it.

Aka ""Et tu, Brute?"

Deck Reviews / Ork Lootz Aggro (Shagrat Thief Voltron Edh)

I think I finished what I deem the Thief version of this deck.

Since can Shagrat steals equipment anyway, been focused on a version that leans into thief more while still being close enough to voltron.

Your the big orc that steals what it wants.

General Magic / Re: Wondering which commander deck is best for "choose to lose"?

« on: October 14, 2023, 08:23:57 pm »

Yeah,....

Hopefully in the next decade maybe, we will see more cards that let opponents choose.

Which was the whole point of the Rakdos Deck.

You force your opponents to choose to lose.

I don't think this is truely possible in EDH for Rakdos yet.

General Magic / Wondering which commander deck is best for "choose to lose"?

« on: October 14, 2023, 07:41:54 pm »

One of old time favorites decks I seen, is a "choose to lose" modern deck.

It had Vexing Devil, Blazing Salvo, Lava Blister, Molten Influence, Skullscorch, Breaking Point, Choice of Damnations, and Killing Wave. (also Dash Hopes)

If there was an EDH version of this deck....

Which commander would be best?
