Greetings everyone, this is your friendly neighborhood vamp G. Moto. I know I've been a little absent due to my travels across the multiverse but I wanted to stop by and wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope that everyone is being safe especially with the forces of phyrexia on the rise. Let's all have a great year and if there are any new players, then I say welcome to magic the gathering!

Commander Deck Reviews / Re: How can i tell what powerlevel my deck has?

It is quite the rabbit hole indeed. Best advice I can give you, how fast and how consistently does the deck either: control the flow of the game/ win games/ how redundant and potent are the synergies in it?

The power scale is subjective but just because your deck is between 1-3 that doesn't mean it's "bad", it could just have a different play focus than other decks.

Odric lunarch marshal is strong and it encourages the camaraderie amongst white creatures.

Minn wily illusionist has a good choice because she introduces a Play style to an old creature type that can be both fun and tricky

Gonti Lord of luxury to just players how to use any and all resources at their disposal in order to win whether it be their own or their opponents.

toralf God of fury teaches the age old way of using fire and burn tactics in an aggressive play style.

Goreclaw terror of qal sisma is that straightforward as you can get when it comes to Green. Big creatures big damage, hit as hard as possible.

These are the recommendations I would have for new players to the game

Greetings all, my name is G. Moto and I'm one of the American based moderators on this forum. I've recently been away but I've found my way back to this side of the multiverse. I welcome you all with warm greetings. I occasionally play MTG arena but I mostly play edh/commander in person with my local friends groups. I started playing when "Return to Ravnica" was in rotation and I enjoy learning the lore behind the game and it's forgotten story lines.

Greetings everyone this is your favorite vampire Walker G. Moto here. I finally found some new land for the placement of my castle which is an ongoing process but I'm keeping my hopes up to rebuild the Markov Manor. I know it's been awhile but I hope that everyone is doing all right out here in the multiverse. Since I've last been here there's been a lot of set releases such as the most recent Kamigawa and my favorite home plane innistrad. Olivia was a nuisance but thankfully the gatewatch was able to help deal with her. Hopefully everyone is doing all right and if anyone wants to catch up for Old Time sake just feel free to drop a line. And for any new members to the game, welcome to magic the gathering!!!

Commander Deck Reviews / Re: [EDH / Commander] Meren Sac Queen - Help me make this more BUDGET

Also in my Meren deck i run Fleshbag marauder, plaguecrafter and other similar creatures that have on death edict effects. This along with Tergrid, God of Fright (which is like $5 dollars now) was a great addition since you're already running grave pact. Also having utility creatures such as fertilid can help you ramp in this deck, and even if it dies trying to get you lands it'll keep coming back.

Hello all my fellow walkers from across the multiverse. This is your friendly planeswalking vamp G. Moto here wanting to extend greetings to anyone who may be new to the forum and to old friends that have been long missed. It brings me much joy to know that we are returning back to my home plane and that I can share this experience with so many of you. Unfortunately the howlpacks are becoming more brazen so lets hope that Arlen and the other walkers currently on Innistrad can try and cleanup this mess. I'd have more of a presence in this story but I've been busy with some ....."Arrangements". Needless to say I look forward to seeing you all. Enjoy your stay on innistrad and don't forget; Be safe, watch your backs, and for those who are new to the game, Welcome to the world of Magic The Gathering.

I think that creating copies of the cleric would be strong for a lockout style deck. Imagine playing a W/U deck that controls your opponents to the point where they can only play creatures. That would be hard to get around.

You could add brass squire and helm of the host to this deck. It'll help with equipping your creatures faster and also being able to make copies of fire servant or chandra's incinerator can make for some powerful plays. I actually defeated a Golgari elf deck and a Jeskai cycling deck using Toralf, God of Fury as a commander. The game was the first time i had ever won using a mon red deck.

I'm actually building a similar deck to this. Main difference is that I have Rebbec, Architect of Ascension and Reyhan, Last of the Abzan as the commanders and I focus on the +1/+1 counters a bit more. Overall the entire deck is artificers that make golems, Strong golems with potent effects and lots of artifact plays. Overall your deck isn't bad starting off. Perhaps you could add some more recursion such as with Epitaph Golem and Glissa the traitor.

Indeed old friend, and I'm glad that you are also doing well. I've been off and on with my MTG involvement but I have for sure made a lot of progress in my deck designing. Once I have completed my task I will have completed 80 EDH decks and also completed the 32 Deck challenge. It's gonna be good to see everyone's reactions to my creations.

Hello everyone, this is your favorite Planes-walking Vamp G. Moto here. I know I have been away for a while (working on rebuilding my castle in a different plane right now), but I wanted to take the time to check up on everyone. The world we're currently living in can be a dangerous and hazardous place and I wanted to let you all know that I haven't forgotten about any of you. Feel free to drop a line or send me a message if anyone wants to talk. If you have a deity or eldritch being you follow then I'll say keep your faith alive. Please be safe everyone and keep being the amazing people that you all are. This community wouldn't be what it is without any of you.

I've finally decided. I'm going to run Tajic, legion's edge as a commander and make the deck "Destroy everything tribal". Palisade Giant, the wanderer, blessed sanctuary and saving grace are some of the cards that add to the build while comet storm, earthquake and cards such as Archangel Avacyn will wipe the board while keeping my board state intact.
