But others are not doing that. Everyone says "I'll be happy when they ban it but for now I have to play it since everyone else is." Best answer to notion thief is hullbreacher :P so dumb I hate this mentality. I really, really hate it. This past week, I was playing at my LGS, and one guy ...

EDH has absorbed waves of exodus from other formats because of WotC's mismanagement. ... I fail to see how WotC's abuse of the power they have in EDH means they should have more power over our format. Hard agree. Even if I'm disappointed in the RC, at least they're not doing what WotC does. Same. I...

Is Sanctifier en-Vec really that broken with a wheel? Or Dauthi Voidwalker ? Narset, Parter of Veils and Hullbreacher are the real criminals. Most experiences I've had with wheels have been in casual games where they're fun and kind of help everyone, so banning all wheels just seems like the wrong ...

Figured we should discuss this quote from Sheldon's article - "Modern Horizons 2 reinforces that Wheels are the unhealthiest thing in Commander, with cards like Dauthi Voidwalker and Sanctifier en-Vec (and Gaea's Will, I suppose). This is of deep concern to me, and is going to undergo a great d...

Alt win cons are fun, both when I play them and play against them, in the same vein that combo is fun - when it still feels like the game is a battle with back and forth as opposed to an "oops I win all the stuff you guys were doing is completely pointless". This one as a looming threat on...

Found this list because of the recent thread re TWD cards. I'd slam Vicious Shadows in here myself because of the synergy with creature creation and sweepers. I wonder about some goad effects as well, though I've been stuck several times when it's down to 1 v 1 and goading doesn't really help much.

Tantalite's okay. Really? I have zero experience with it, but... it just seems lousy, even on turn one. Like, suspend 3 will get you an additional mana on turn 4. But, you don't see people playing Search for Tomorrow in crazy numbers, and it even has an escape hatch with a regular mana cost. Mox Ta...

I. have a similar deck, same general, and I like Cavalier of Flame for card draw, beats, and a possible finisher with that last trigger. I have a lot more put lands back and forth from the gy than you do so more synergy there, but still might do work in your deck. Also an elemental. . Nice list!

What's the first card that comes to mind for using with Abiding Grace?

I think it says a lot about my play style that I immediately went Spore Frog !!!

Also, reprint of Braids just makes me sad she's still banned. Banned as commander worked fine for certain cards, including this one.

Esper Sentinel is perfect. Both easy and hard to remove. An artifact creature dies to a stiff breeze, but white can recur and copy it for days. Osgir is going to make two of them. Blue is going to get jealous and blow a Phyrexian Metamorph on copying it. Also so easy to put a few +1/+1 counters on ...

General Ferrous' golem tokens aren't artifacts. That has to be intentional as I can't think of a non artifact golem. Odd though with his name sounding like the word for iron and boros leaning into artifacts

My complaint is about Zabaz. My modular deck is grixis. A lot of the modular decks I've seen in EDH are grixis, izzet, dimir... That little white pip that gives it evasion tucks it in a niche that I probably won't play. I guess it goes in an Osgir modular deck, that wouldn't be awful, but it sure r...

I've certainly been known to complain about new cards/mechanics/decisions from WOTC, but when it comes to things like getting salty over too much squirrel tribal, I mean... who cares? I get that you might end up playing games with people who've gone full squirrel and it'll be annoying, but in genera...

I am so pleased that Dakkon, Shadow Slayer is once again bearing the hyper colorful art of Richard Kane Ferguson. I don't exactly like his style, but I think it's great that he's on Dakkon's card art once again. I have a Dakkon Blackblade old border themed deck with a lot of RKF art and I'm just ec...

A Nev Disk style artifact that blows up all permanents 2 or more colors. A 3 mana artifact that says 'beginning of upkeep scry 1, then if the top card of your library has 1 color that matches a monocolor card on the battlefield put it in your hand'. That's really convoluted, but you get the idea, th...

Honestly this is all part of what I enjoy at a game, seeing people's personalities come out. Who prefers to disregard threat assessment in favor of not making enemies, who gets all bent out of shape because they're the first one to get attacked by a Wood Elves , etc? I really find it interesting to ...

Was going to suggest Invulnerability because buyback, but I don't think that protects your walkers which is prob more important than your life total. Imagine why this is why Selfless Squire is absent from your list. Change of Heart though might do work, especially if you're often leaving mana up for...

Path of Mettle First, I've had this card in my binder for a long time looking for a spot. I do love the transform lands from Ixalan. How have you used this one? My cards range from pet cards to good cards. Perilous Myr is one of those pet cards, though if you work at it you can combo with it with.....

Also, I'm not comfortable with what Stinging Study is depicting here, and the broader implications of what life is like under Silverquill I share your sentiment. Corporal punishment is archaic and traumatic and this art evokes this to me personally. This being a close subject to abusive households ...

I have an In the Eye of Chaos that I got years ago that I need to use or sell and want to put it in an Alrund, God of the Cosmos // Hakka, Whispering Raven deck. My thought is to make an enchantment heavy deck with a focus on getting a big Alrund through. I know just having In the Eye of Chaos doesn...

Couple of thoughts. Slash the Ranks will sometimes not be the card you want, but pretty good percentage of the time will be good. Command Beacon seems good with such an expensive commander, as does (maybe) Geode Golem . I've always been curious whether the golem would be any good. I wish Akroma's Wi...

There are times when we all need to step back and remember we're playing a game, that it's supposed to be an outlet and stress relief rather than the opposite. There's also nothing wrong in my mind in people making whatever kind of social media content they want regarding the game they like. Ultimat...

I just finished watching this episode (I had started a couple days ago, but something came up), and yeah, I'm really not impressed. Terrible play errors aside, Cassius playing a cEDH deck against a bunch of ordinary decks doesn't make for an engaging episode or an earned win. It's kind of like watc...

I think that's part of how the show can be unhealthy for the format - it doesn't demonstrate how to build a balanced meta. It focuses more on ingame deals and favors than it does on "hey do our decks match up?" and "what do you want from the game?" Cassius wanted to bring his A g...

This was honestly my response to seeing her too. I have all these commanders I'm probably not going to build decks for aside from theorycraft, why not stick them in this deck so they'll at least be a Birds of Paradise . Maybe a Maelstrom Wanderer if you have one for the haste effect as well as the c...
