I'm pretty sure it's not a good card, but it is a great card. Five mana across all colors for an enchantment that has no immediate impact is pretty bad. The card is a lot of fun if you do get it to stick for a turn or two. It picks up a lot of value in a deck that plays heavily at instant speed beca...

Reddit has some inherent problems with deeper discussion both because of the upvote/downvote system and, probably bigger, the inherently transitory nature of how the topics work. When the same topics have to be rehashed on a weekly or daily basis (see: proxies on the EDH sub), it's more difficult to...

Reddit has words for everything.

Feel free to tell me I am wrong.

Wrong.

But also welcome.

USA, California, San Diego - SocorroTortoise - At Ease - EDH/Commander

I mentioned this in the Commander sub, but if you're ever planning on including or dividing by format preferences, you probably want to start collecting that info sooner rather than later.

Got yours added, starting at the ground will make it better since I can add everyone's info instead of just commander players. Once we have enough I plan to put spoilers for the different states and then maybe even subdivid it by format or just leave it at the state level If you're ever planning on...

I think you all do a fine job of helping people be heard. I think the BEST thing you could do is an AMA on reddit. Head over to /r/EDH and just answer people’s questions (with the help of some moderation from the mod team) and help people know they are being heard. /r/EDH is alarmingly toxic and fr...

What's with all the hate on mana crypt ? It can go in every deck! I get that it's an expensive card and that prices out some players but I don't think the monitory value of a card should ever be factored into a banning. Fast mana leads to imbalanced starts and there's a vocal minority of players wh...

[mention]cryogen[/mention] I was glancing at current results and there is a good reason to have a "None/Leave as is/Decline to state" option for every question if you continue to use Google docs as a platform for this in the future. When results are being tabled or plotted, percentages are...

I don't play as often as I used to, but there was a point where I rarely kept a deck together for longer than a month at a time. Jaya is more or less constant, but everything else is in a constant state of flux. I also never have more than 4 decks complete at once, so building and rebuilding is pret...

[mention]digitalfire[/mention] Thanks for elaborating. I don't know that I agree, but I do have a better sense of where you're coming from there. I'll stop trying to derail this thread now.

It's probably about time for me to rebuild Dralnu again. I haven't played with him in a while. How have God-Eternal Kefnet and Liliana, Death's Majesty been treating you? I can see the appeal of Lili, but she does seem a little on the pricey side and difficult to reuse, unlike most of the rest of th...

Holy...I hadn't realized the site was up and running...I was waiting for some sort of announcement on Sally, unless I may have missed it? I don't remember seeing one. There were a few non-staff people keeping an eye over here and they noticed it go live. The feature request thread at MTGS went from...

I don't think the RC should be thinking of tournament play with their bans, but rather what happens when playgroup inevitably arms race or start to run more combo. Social contract isn't always viable because everyone wants something different from this game, and sometimes total agreement is just ou...

I changed the general of my RUG clones deck from Intet to Riku when he was released and that was probably the last time. I'll rebuild decks in similar color combos with similar themes under new generals more or less constantly, but that starts from the ground up every time.

Oh, cool, we moved the user profile stuff to the left side. That looks much better.

Definitely. I'm actually noticing who's posting what now. I need upload my flipped avatar though. Facing the wrong way now.

I think you're on the right track. If you're trying to kill just one thing, Fireball is tied with some things for the most efficient X damage removal spell. But none of those things target multiple targets. And the other X damage spells that target multiple things can't kill an Oracle of Mul Daya f...

Forum wide, afaik. I can add more, what would you like to see?

The one I was missing was enchantress. Tempo and/or delver was the other one I didn't see, though that's more legacy/modern than EDH.

I have a very unfriendly Estrid biild,, including Stasis, Nevermore effects, propaganda effects, enchantresses, the amazing Righteous Aura and other protective spells, and fat token producers. I don't play it much really because I only keep it fo wjen things get unfriendly but seeing your build mak...

Are decklist tags forum specific or sitewide? There are a few common ones I'm not seeing in the list.

I've been very pleased with The Scarab God in zombie lists. While it's arguably less useful here because of the amount of card selection you already get from the general you still get some very potent upkeep triggers and the ability to instant speed zombify opponents' cards is powerful. Your mana ro...

I like this list a lot. Is Kestia, the Cultivator not good enough for the deck? It seems like a solid card all around and additionally rewards you for playing enchantments. Thanks! I honestly haven't given Kestia much thought, because this isn't an aggressive list by any stretch of the imagination....

Artifacts are good/people ramp with mana rocks in this format → Collector Ouphe is a good card in this format. It helps that green can easily play with few to no artifact activated abilities. I run Null Rod and Stony Silence periodically and they usually over perform, though they occasionally draw m...

I like me some introductions! It's great to learn a little bit more about our player base. I'm also deeply grateful that y'all are making the switch to MTGNexus. Lots of love for MTGSal, but it's time for a new face and damn does Nexus deliver. Same. I know a handful of the regular community thread...

I like this card a lot in theory, which has always made it disappointing that it's so bad. Vigilance and evasion is a great combo of abilities but the mediocre body/CMC ratio, very specific color identity, and upkeep cost to actually take advantage of the abilities has always kept it out of my decks.
