Godlike card. Looking for a foil right now.

Re: Do you curve your rocks or play all the 2 CMC ones?
Usually stuff that costs 2 or less. MAYBE a Gilded Lotus or a Chromatic Orrery if I'm on Transmute Artifact, but that's it.

Re: Crazy Plays in Commander
I'm playing Lord Windgrace annoyance tribal. It's a midrange deck that can aggressively get out creatures with Titania, Protector of Argoth and Omnath, Locus of Rage , or it can stax down the game. My friend was on Thrasios, Triton Hero / Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker goodstuff. My other friends are o...

Re: Banlist update: 7 cards banned for offensive imagery/names
I don't particularly care about seven cards that don't see play in my meta being banned. I can certainly understand why some people would find some of the gray area cards offensive, though.

Re: Second Annual MTGNexus Commander Climate Survey
* I massively approve of the way the format's being run. It's much better than WOTC's mismanagement of one-sided power creep and bans to sell packs. I love the RC and the CAG (Shivam in particular has been a fantastic addition), and am a huge fan of the casual malleability of the format. I can go in...

Re: Double Masters Set
I'll probably just buy singles and draft. I have a Crypt and most of the stuff I want from there is cheap enough to where I can wait for a dip and buy then. Ideally Imperial Seal gets a reprint, but I'm not expecting it. If not I'll probably just stick with that. Happy for the players that have it. ...

Re: Secret Lair
Probably not. I think Wizards putting such a high "MSRP" on the product didn't help, and that the artificial scarcity is what's driving the price. I just thought it was funny that they'd pull the excuse of "card costs" right before they announce a Secret Lair for normal price tha...

Re: Secret Lair
The more I think about it, the more WOTC's explanation in the TCC interview is correct. Different cards cost different amounts of money to produce. There are a lot of people in the pipeline, from artists to R+D to distributors, who need to be paid. Take the Godzilla cards, for example. They're a Toh...

They could and should, but they won't. WOTC wants to sell packs for CL1/Masters 2.0 and Secret Lair bundles.

Re: What have you done with Kenrith?
Thinking of rebuilding my odd matters deck around him. Originally, I ran Yennett, but I've always wanted to build Kenrith reanimator and the release of Obosh inspired me. Plus I could run stuff like Seedborn Muse and Drakuseth.

Re: FTV: Fetchlands (plus Chandra spellbook)
I recently posted about this on Reddit, but this entire thing is a poison pill for our local game stores. WOTC floats a special product as a thank-you to LGSes. The product, which contains the five most demanded reprints in the game, is a glorified re-issue of From the Vault or Mythic Edition under ...

Re: [Speculation] Ban List Update Prediction Thread
I don't expect the fever pitch to reach the point it did here. Consult+Oracle is sorcery speed and much more mana-strict than Flash. There's also the fact that Sushi Hulk will pivot to a Scepter package and Thras+Tymna will still be stronger than Kess. I think the contingent will be small, but not ...

I look forward to when Consultation/Tainted Pact Kess decks run riot and they come back asking for those to be banned, alongside Oracle. And if not that bugbear, another, hitherto unrevealed one.

And as usual, y'all cherry pick to the extreme and latch onto the one single thing you can For one, don't assume that just because someone disagreed with your comparison to Nazis that they're automatically a cEDH player.

Re: Ban List Update - Flash Banned
All the talk about the slippery slope is a fair concern. I certainly disagree with it, but I can understand people having concerns with it on a philosophical level. And that's fine. I trust the RC to handle these cases and use their discretion accordingly (I'd be personally opposed to most bans - ev...

Re: Ban List Update - Flash Banned
There's one guy who Flash Hulked in an Etali on Turn 2. No real difference between that and skipping your land drop to reanimate an Etali, and there are certainly other applications with Flash, but the card had become synonymous with cEDH.

Re: Ranking the Companions
As companions (including Lutri): 10. Yorion - Literally impossible. Not designed for the format. 9. Umori - Most of everyone said it - it's a stricter requirement than Primal Surge without the payoffs. A 1-mana discount is nowhere near good enough to justify hampering yourself that hard 8.

I've become more open to Companion. I still think it's strange that the mechanic fit within the previous rules, but if the RC's willing to change them to accommodate it, I'm fine with it. Like I said, better them in charge than WOTC, and I trust their discretion. It's unfortunate Lutri had to go, bu...
