... Am I remembering wrong, but I thought, as tokens, clues and treasures did not go to the graveyard?

Commander Deck Reviews / Breena, the Demagogue Pillow Hug EDH

« am: April 16, 2021, 03:55:59 Nachmittag »

This is my first attempt at a group hug deck, but it's still a little bit too many cards.  Trying to decide what to take out, and if I have the right cards.  Also, definitely wanted to build around table politics to enable better deal making...

Orzhov Angel Tribal

Trying to figure out what cards to cut.  Changelings help bring down the average cost and give earlier plays for defense until heavy hitters can hit the field.

Lurrus of the Dream Den would be a good one...Nethroi, Apex of Death might be too macabre.

I would add red to Danitha Capashen, Paragon to make her Boris.  Giving her access to Champion of the Flame and Tiana, Ship's Caretaker definitely wouldn't hurt

General Magic / Uri Ban Announcement

« am: Februar 11, 2021, 05:41:55 Vormittag »

Does anyone else find it odd that they made the Uro ban Announcement INSIDE of the Secret Lair Smitten Superdrop announcement?  Admittedly, one of the drops includes Uro in it, but... Really?  I saw the announcement there before anywhere else...

Three or less.  The one and two CMC Commanders are highly limited.

Commander Deck Reviews / Re: Opinions on this Nekusar EDH deck?

« am: Januar 27, 2021, 06:05:38 Vormittag »

Honestly, I love Nekusar as a Commander, but be prepared for a massive amount of hate when you have him on the table.  That said, I'm not sure why a few cards aren't in your list.  Kederekt Parasite definitely deserves a place on the list.  As an early one drop, it activates once you control any red permanent.  Price of Knowledge is another good one to use to punish opponents for drawing a lot of cards, even with the high Mana cost.  I haven't found Forced Fruition doing a lot of good in the deck, unfortunately... but I noticed the lack of a crucial card: Jace's Archivist.  My Nekusar has a lot of clones just to target this one card.  But I have found another thing lacking: life gain/damage prevention prevention.  Erebos, God of the Dead and Tibalt, Rakish Instigator can prevent life gain, for instance.  Better are Everlasting Torment and Leyline of Punishment.  Also, if your goal is to Mill out opponents, you might consider Undead Alchemist.  Otherwise, certain Eldrazi Titans will give you a headache.  A nice alternate win con for Nekusar is available in Jace, Wielder of Mysteries and Laboratory Maniac...

General Magic / Possible format idea : Tiny Partners

« am: Januar 24, 2021, 08:29:51 Nachmittag »

So I had an idea for an EDH format variation, and thought I'd seek feedback on the idea. I call it Tiny Partners.

The premise is simple: choose any two Legendary Creatures any rarity, under 3 CMC, to serve as your Commanders.  They are considered to have partner with each other and only each other for the sake of the format.  The other 98 cards in the deck will be singleton (other than basic lands, wastes and snow covered basic lands.  The other 98 cards are also limited to common and uncommon rarity and must stay within the color identities of the Commanders.

Commander Discussion / Re: Commanders That are Fun for the Whole Table

« am: Januar 21, 2021, 05:44:27 Vormittag »

I have found Feather, the Redeemed to be a fun Commander that doesn't get other players hating you.  They don't like letting her live for long periods of time, but they certainly don't automatically scoop just seeing her.

Haven't had a chance to play her yet, but Elenda, the Dusk Rose seems like it will be fun to play.  And having play tested against my other decks, she looks like she will be quite powerful.  But it's been a while since I've had a chance to go out and play Commander.

One I have considered building is Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist.  I haven't seen her as a Commander yet, so most players would likely be interested to see her played out, but has great potential to be dangerous.

Just learn from me, and don't go play Anafenza the Foremost unless you WANT the table to hate you.  I don't even have the deck set to the full on evil that I could, just having her as my Commander makes me target number one.

Commander Discussion / Re: Fix mono white in EDH

« am: Januar 17, 2021, 05:01:53 Vormittag »

The question becomes, what supporting cards could make white stronger?  There are some powerful white Commanders, but it's the 99 that has mono white tied down.  You have Smothering Tithe for ramp, some creature based card Draw (such as Mentor of the Meek) and that is pretty much it.  White just runs out of gas so quickly.

I am not saying break the color pie, but maybe white (for instance, introducing lots of White counter spells), but maybe give the White color pie a new tool.  One that has been alluded to in this thread already: politics.

For instance, a white enchantment as follows:
Friendly Negotiations (2)(W)(W)
Enchantment
At the beginning of your turn, target opponent may draw a card.  If they do, draw two cards.

Or a Sorcery:
Territorial Dispute (2)(W)
Target opponent may search their library for a basic land.  Search your library for a Plains and put it into the battlefield.

If it isn't obvious, I would like to see White emerge as a color for making deals

Deck Reviews / Re: [EDH / Commander] Camarilla

« am: Januar 13, 2021, 04:23:17 Vormittag »

Interesting theme.  We're you focused on a specific Clan, such as Toreador or Venture?  Or just the Camarilla in general?  The Toreador and Brush definitely fit the red theme of passion and impulsiveness.  But White was definitely needed (the focus on the law).
