Commander Deck Reviews / Re: Purphoros, God of the Forge

Hi
40 lands are a bit much if you have such a low curve
try 35
Norin the Wary is really good with purph

i have a goblin centered purph list, if you want some inspiration

Commander Discussion / Re: Looking back on the year of Commander

« on: December 15, 2020, 11:20:06 am »

Favorite moment: The brief moment, the community tried to move away from the RC.

Least favorite: mechanicly unique SL and their impact on legacy

Best cards there are stronger cards printed(commander black lotus...), but i really like Wheel of Misfortune. Its a good wheel, and a nice substitute for Wheel of Fortune.

New Commanders: Bell Borca, Spectral Sergeant . Its a cool and balanced new boros commander, that isnt just voltron.

General Magic / Re: WotC bans racist cards

« on: July 03, 2020, 02:36:12 pm »

I really dont get the point: "The artist for this piece has strong ties with white supremacist groups"
So what?
The piece of art on "Invoke Prejudice" has nothing to do with the political views of its creator.
Should we label every piece of art with the political views of its creator?
So we can avoid looking at art from "bad people"
For me the bannings are a strange and scary thing. "Entartete Kunst" (Degenerate art) comes to mind.

On the other hand WotC can do whatever they want with their game.
just my 2 cents

General Magic / Re: What do you guys tutor for?

« on: May 14, 2019, 03:23:03 pm »

My early tutors are for mana (lands or sol ring / mana vault)
Mid- to lategame are combopieces.
I really dont get the whole "combo hate" that some casual players have.
The game needs to end somehow.
Maybe its because they dont understand the rule interactions (they do get verry complicated sometimes).
Really dont know.
I dont mind losing vs combos
and i win with a combo most of the time

("its against the spirit of commander" is a nice sounding way of saying "i personally dont like it and you should change it")

General Magic / Re: my freind says the stack works like this is he right?

« on: May 02, 2019, 05:58:50 pm »

ofc he draws a card
It works like this:

First the stack is empty and he has priority.
He casts his enchantment Spell
his  satyr enchanter triggers (because he casts a enchantment spell)
The stack looks like this at that time:

(Trigger) Draw a card
(Spell) Whatever Enchantment he casted

You get priority because he wants to resolve his stuff
You cast a Counterspell, Stack looks like this now:

(Spell) Your Counterspell targeting his enchantment
(Trigger) Draw a card
(Spell) Whatever Enchantment he casted

After that your friend gets priority again.
Lets say he does not want to respond to your counterspell.
Your counterspell resolves, countering his enchantment
The drawtrigger is still on the Stack.
He daws a card.

btw.
You can counter the trigger (not saying i would recommend it ), with disallow, trickbind or stifle

General Magic / Re: Looking for commander ideas for an 8 person EDH group.

« on: May 02, 2019, 01:32:39 am »

Hi,
if you are playing 8 man edh games, maybe change Krenko, Mob Boss to Purphoros, God of the Forge
Dont know your list, but it should not be a great change from Krenko and would push the powerlevel (14 dmg on etb sounds not bad ^^ )
Cant imagine any non-combo deck that can win in such a game tbh
Maybe a super grindy prison deck after boardwiping 5 hours
You could ofc go grouphug with Selvala, Explorer Returned and try to win with gigantic hydras (or just speed the game up)

General Magic / Re: With this set containing 37 planeswalkers...

« on: May 01, 2019, 10:06:52 pm »

Black will almost always include The Elderspell

You really think so?
I see the card getting used in Atraxa, Praetors' Voice superfriends, but i personally would not run it if im not playing 5-10 Planeswalker in my own deck.
Maybe if my meta would have multiple people playing superfriends

Im excited to try some of the new planeswalker (mostly Saheeli, Sublime Artificer and Ashiok, Dream Render)
But i think most decks will only try 1-2 of the new planeswalker (excluding superfriend builds ofc)
no need for specific hate

General Magic / Re: What was your worst misplay?

« on: May 01, 2019, 03:40:01 pm »

General Magic / Re: What was your worst misplay?

« on: May 01, 2019, 02:55:33 pm »

First time on a small legacy tournament, played manaless dredge in competetive enviroment the first time.
Missed so many Prized Amalgam trigger :O
Stupid delayed triggers... ^^
Took 2. Place in the End
Still mad at me that i lost one game because of missed triggers

In EDH:
Multiple times i forget to drew cards with Daretti, Scrap Savant +2 abbility. So focused on getting stuff in the graveyard

Deck Reviews / Re: hello please help my for my commander is my first

« on: May 01, 2019, 01:52:11 am »

Hi i can try,
First of all, you cant use Ugin, the Ineffable as a commander.
A commander needs to be a legendary Creature.
There are 9 exceptions of this rule.
5 Mono colored Planeswalker commander from the Commander Precons 2014 (like Daretti, Scrap Savant or Teferi, temporal Archmage)
4 Multi colored Planeswalker commander from the Commander Precons 2018 (like Lord Windgrace or  Saheeli, the Gifted)
As you can see, these Planeswalker have the "PLANESWALKERNAME can be your Commander" line.
These 9 can be your Commander

If this is your first commander Build, i would really not recommend going colorless.
Pick 1 or 2 colors and go with them.

But lets assume you would really want a colorless commander.
Look at some of the colorless legendary Creatures and pick one. (https://edhrec.com/commanders/colorless this could help you getting started)

Finaly:
Your landcount is too low, aim for 36 Lands
I dont really get some cards you included (Like Metallic Mimic or Gate Colossus)

If you really want to go colorless, try to get the big Eldrazis (Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, Kozilek, the Great Distortion, Emrakul, the Promised End)
And if im talking about big Eldrazis i should mention that Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is banned in commander

I hope i could help you

Hi,
for an additional non-expensive counterspells i could recommend https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=delay .
In 3 Turns whatever they played probably doesnt matter anymore and during that time they cant get the card back from graveyard.
And mb try to get Narset's Reversal from the new Set.
Would be perfect for Talrand
Hope i could help

Deck Reviews / Re: [EDH / Commander] Shanna of the many

« on: April 29, 2019, 10:41:33 pm »

Hi,
Shanna, Sisay's Legacy Voltron looks interesting
Voltron with Tokens

Your Landcount is really low (30)
i think you should aim for 35 Lands

You could cut some high cmc spells and include most of the green 1 cmc Manadorks  (Elvish Mystic, Llanowar Elves etc.)

Personaly in find trample verry important in Voltron. Loxodon Warhammer is really nice.

Nazahn, Revered Bladesmith could go in there too not rly fast, but a nice tutor.
So is Stonehewer Giant.

Mother of Runes provides excelent protection

Im hoping i could help

https://deckstats.net/decks/129248/1276660-sygg-dimir-rogue-tribal/de

Casual Rogue Tribal Deck

Aims to win long grindy games via card advantage

Notable Cards:

Oppression:
Most of the times you can slow the game down and get your opponents to topdeck really fast with oppression

Painful Quandary:
Same as Oppression

Thieves' Fortune:
Not really a important card, but lorwyn rogue tribal and a fancy 1 mana impulse

Knowledge Exploitation:
Spicy rogue tribal, really funny if your opponent has a Time Stretch or Expropriate in his deck

Notorious Throng:
Rogue Tribal. Can be a wincondition (expacially with Stinkdrinker Bandit on the field)

Notable combos:

Mindcrank + Duskmantle Guildmage
Mindcrank + Bloodchief Ascension (if online)

you can mill your opponents out, and kill them in the process (as long as you can deal damage to them (most of the creatures are unblockable so thats not a real issue))

« on: April 29, 2019, 05:59:17 pm »

Seems like an solid Build
If Blade of Selves is an important wincon, you could try fabricate .
and is there a reason you did not include the 1 mana Manadorks?
arbor elf Elvish Mystic  etc.
If you include some small manadorks you could reduce your landcount (maybe cut 2 lands) and cantrips would help you make everything more consistent (Ponder Preordain Brainstorm Impulse)
