Re: rate commanders you've played for physical complication
Ok, I've got six decks currently: Easy - minimal shuffling/extra bits Molimo, Maro-Sorcerer - it's got the usual ramp spells and a couple of creature tutors, basically zero counters outside of a few planeswalkers. Wins with big guys, does have a few 'now I slap a pile of things into play/hand' spell...

Re: Saryth's Magnificent Trampling Circus
Tribute was in my morph deck partially because the deck was a hot mess. It had started out as being focused on face down stuff, but a lot of the face down stuff was quite bad. I then moved to a combat damage mattering theme for all the stuff that wasn't face down, so as to make blocking choices hard...

Re: Saryth's Magnificent Trampling Circus
Zopandrel and Rishkars have been very good in Molimo to the point where it'll take a hell of a card to get me to cut them, and Tribute was very good when my morph deck was Glissa. Now that ones in four colours the triple green was a bit too much of an ask. Have you considered Nissa, Ascended Animist...

Re: Commander Forum Rules, Announcements, and Helpdesk
Yeah I switched to Moxfield a while ago, on the basis that if nobody else was going to comment on them anyway I'd make my life easier when it came to updates.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Capricious Efreet
I don't know, some of the new white morphs, and some of the white morph-support pieces look pretty good. How consistent is your deck? I feel like morphs are clunky without support; neither of your commanders does anything for them, so you're left with paying for a junky 2/2 and then also needing ma...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods
So this immediately went into 4 colour morphs, where it's been doing excellent work. I've also Rule 0'ed this and the new Etrata as the commanders a couple of times, which is strong but not overbearing. It's really reinforced that I need to get a couple of sac outlets into the deck though. I honestl...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
It is fundamentally impossible to memorise every card, there's just too many of the damn things even ignoring anything printed outside of a standard set. It's not like when I started in 2000 and there were 20 sets, several of which were just reprints. I could tell you every single card when i was a ...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
I've never been so underwhelmed by spoilers before in my life. Not because the cards are bad, but like... three sets at once? I don't have emotional energy to get excited by these cards. Spoilers from Fallout literally just ended. I didn't even have a full 24 hours to try to digest those cards. Can...

Re: Kirkusjones presents: DirkGently's polite debate corner aka the Thunderdome
@Dragonlover Not sure which point you're referring to, but if you're the one playing the deck, why not just play a different commander and just choose to attack? Or were you loaning it out? Either way, I'd think Fumiko the Lowblood (or other options depending when we're talking about) would be much...

Re: Kirkusjones presents: DirkGently's polite debate corner aka the Thunderdome
I just want to refute a point you made in the other thread: I had a Ruhan deck back on Salvation based around forced combats. It was built for the precise goal of getting my playgroup to get used to attacking, and when our local meta as a larger group had one of those collective level ups that occas...

Re: Secret Lair "Sheldon's Spellbook"
Did Sheldon ever discuss or play Eladamri's Vineyard or are they only playing up his love of wine? Anyway, I'll probably pick this one up. Most of the cards are playable and that sweet looking Teferi's Protection is probably worth it on its own. He picked the cards, so I'm assuming it's a reference...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
I'll get whatever's available provided it's in English and I don't hate the art. Big fan of buying cards rated anywhere down to Lightly Played as well cause they're usually basically NM but the seller didn't want to argue over a dinged up corner for the sake of three quid.

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
I think I've settled on about 25 quid as my limit, but even then its subjective. Like, I'm not gonna spend that if it's only high cause of another format, I'll wait for rotation. Something good and old that's not coming down past 35-50? Yeah I'll go for that out of my hobby budget, but it's a consid...

Re: Kirkusjones presents: DirkGently's polite debate corner aka the Thunderdome
Yeah to me Voltron is definitely 'I have to put several auras/equipment onto my Commander to get the damage through'. For example, I don't count Molimo as a Voltron commander, he's just real big in and of himself.

Ah, one of my distraction wincons! I play it, people freak out about how many cards I have in hand (or potentially have), use removal on it then lose to a Biovisionary a few turns later if I'm lucky. If not, then hey I'm 1/20 of the way closer to Mortal Combat . I imagine people building a deck just...

Re: Zedruu the Greatest of All Time
Correct. Or at least, to get specific, the first time they can respond is when the donate ability is on the stack, so it doesn't matter if they kill it then because it's happening anyway.
