AND the MTGNexus and MTGSalvation boards are basically ghost towns which is why the contrarians try to stay here and not go to places like Reddit or Twitter as they barely get any support and are actually seen as the minority on many topics regarding EDH. Just jumping in but you do realize that eve...

I think they should be treated with less seriousness (and maybe more respect). If they are treated with less seriousness, I don't think you get to say you can treat them with more respect as you don't think they should be treated seriously. The problem with this whole argument is the assumption tha...

Did you actually read that combo? Even if wishes worked that combo is just really bad. You have to several pieces all of which are pretty bad on their own and you have to warp your deck to match zirda's companion requirements. On top of that kenrith already wins you the with infinite mana. Edit: to...

I think the cEDH community should be taken with more seriousness and respect. You want data and knowledge on what new cards could be potentially hazardous to the format's health? Of what cards should be ignored or put on a watch list? Then working with them, instead of against them, can help make ED...

A strong case on why Sharazad could never be unbanned if wishes worked as intended:

For something in the same vein as Upheaval , I present Worldfire . Same trick as before. You float a bunch of mana, Worldfire , then when its on the stack, you use TP. Not only are opponents denied their hands and graveyards and permanents, but each opponent is at 1 life. The main differences is th...

Rofellos is really not any better than yisan or selvala in terms of power. Kinda silly. And only marginally better than Azusa.

Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy just looks like a better Rofellos to me in almost every aspect, except it its not an elf.

Drannith Magistrate and Mimic Vat . Hmm? How does mimic vat help? Just as a way to block grave recursion from commanders? Drannith magistrate would be covered by method 5. Although I'm focusing more on methods to deny specific commanders, not all commanders. Well the token from Mimic Vat gets exile...

Drannith Magistrate and Mimic Vat.

So I read the book. I mostly liked it as a fun romp with emotional moments. Certianly wasn't the train-wreck that was War for the Spark and its sequel. I would like to warm up to Vivien more, but her quotes from the story on the cards section makes her a hard sell to actually like. I personally beli...

I know several states in the americas have basically issued a "only essentials" for stores. So certain stores LGS's would have to stay shut and take a hit. I feel that even if a LGS survives this whole ordeal its going to be set back very far. Some more than others that it would be just be...

Primeval Titan should stay banned. Its just good value. At worst its an Hour of Promise that gives you a 6/6 trampler for 1 more mana. And if gets blinked or it swings, its already better than HoP. Its also just a must-have for any green-centric deck. Panoptic Mirror I'm 50/50 on. Upheaval still ha...

One change? Lower the life total to 30. I don't feel at risk for cracking a fetch to get a shockland, then shocking myself for 2 let it enter untapped. As 3 damage is still half of 6, which would be the equal parity for life costs in EDH. While 30 is still more than 20 for effective cost, and the pa...

"n0 cHaNgEs"

Except the things with already know about, like adding Lutri to the list and making the change to allow companions, which currently don't work and shouldn't anyway.

Companions being allowed is just strange to me.

Is Elspeth only influencing the devotion of the dead? The summary has her confront Heliod as she works to escape the Underworld--this suggests that it is the devotion of the dead that weakens Khrusor. Or is there some suggestion that her lie about the weapon reaches the land of the living? Seems li...

Elspeth showed how belief manifests. Even though she lied about her shadowspear being the real Khrusor, people bought her lie and placed their faith in it. If Heliod's actual Khrusor becoming a fake and Elspeth's fake becoming real is a possibility, then the position of Klothys is the easiest to rep...

Thassa's Oracle is neat. I would say its slightly weaker in impact when compared to a plusing Jace, Wielder of Mysteries if you got 2 devotion. As its greater or equal to X for win the game. 2 devotion is likely if people hate you out which means as long as your deck is 0, 1, or 2 cards its a sligh...

Speaking of color hosers, I've been getting wrekt by Infernal Darkness lately.

Makes sense as ID is a universal color hoser and the cumulative life loss is fairly negligible. 10 life loss in exchange for a 4 turn possible lockout for other players, aside from colorless and black.

Mind Bend with a Conversion . Change the text of mountain to swamp or forest. Depending on the color identity of enemies, this can range from being a nuisance to outright lockout. Spirit Mirror with an Artificial Evolution . Change the text of reflection to a creature type of your choice, preferabl...

I might be imagining things.. but the art looks distorted?

Its the dutch angle.

Nyxbloom Ancient with a Basalt Monolith. So much free mana.

Wilderness Reclamation decks got something new to play with.

The Swimmer in Nightmares seems like the most standout card to me.

Swap hexproof for shroud and it would be about right.

Thassa pouring water into Heliod's altar. He must have pissed her off somehow. The minotaur feels like a better evolutionary leap, since it can use nonland permanents + put direct into the battlefield. Costs 6 though... so not easy to cast. Well Heliod is the reason for Purphuros's state. When Elsp...
