Re: (MCD) Birthing Pod combos
So i think the most powerful pod line these days is probably derevi/najeela so right on for getting there. I think Courser of Kruphix probably doesn't belong, kind of a boat anchor at this level of power. I do like the 2 cmc hatebears. Not sure how i feel about corridor monitor+monoliths, seems may...

Re: June 1 2020 rules changes
I'm happy that this change came into effect. At least now there is a downside to your previously free card. Companion will always be a stupid mechanic in my eye's, but I feel like this is a step in the right direction. I still stand by the opinion that you cannot allow certain cards to come into the...

Re: (MCD) Birthing Pod combos
Kenrith is exceptional as a pod commander for sure. He has access to all the persist creatures, and can as a mana sink bring cards back to re-cycle them, etc. He can also reset persist creatures who you've previously sac'd which is great. I've definitely considered him as a casual pod commander jus...

Re: (MCD) Birthing Pod combos
I hate to bring a dead topic back to life.....but how do you feel with Kenrith, the Returned King as the commander for the pod lines? You can dump infinite mana into Kenrith, you can run Oracle Consoltation, you can run the Kikki-Jikki lines....What do you guys think?

Re: Double Masters Set
True, I am one of those people. But, these no longer have an MSRP, so I was expecting something similar like what happened with Mystery Boosters. Starts at the normal 100-110 and then adjusts according to market needs/wants. Like recently I saw they were up at $190 even though its been made clear t...

Re: Double Masters Set
They aren't even continuing with spoilers until June I thought. I may have to call up my LGS and ask if they have any price set on these yet... Maybe there won't be spoilers until June, but it seems like some people think there's going to be more powerful cards in this than in other stuff coming ou...

Re: Double Masters Set
Yep they did it again Amazon pre-order price for 1 pack 16.99 A box is $300 Not too surprising unfortunately stick with singles people If there really is a lot of chase rares and powerful cards in this set, I'm guessing we'll be seeing these sell for a lot more than $300. They aren't even continuin...

Re: [SCD] Dranith Magistrate
The Magistrate I feel is quite powerful. It is a hate bear, but it shuts down playing from your library and your graveyard. Both very important for a lot of various decks. I think that is more powerful than just shutting off the commander.

Re: Why Wizards of the Coast Has No Real Competitive Answer to EDH / Commander
There's nothing wrong about trying to bring players from format to format, even Standard players are allowed to play certain cards after rotation by joining Pioneer and Modern. It prolongs business. Even with 2020's attention on EDH, not everyone is used to playing 100 cards singleton either, but t...

Re: Double Masters Set
Good morning everyone, the spoiler section has been updated with the cards spoiled since my last post. Just as a reminder those cards are Mana Crypt, Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, and Kaalia of the Vast.
So far this looks like a good selection of cards. Hopefully we get more good stuff!

Re: Mono Red Burn with Squee, Goblin Nabob
The good news is that I got my new sleeves for the deck (the old ones were getting a bit beat up) and managed to score a Dockside Extortionist for my games tomorrow. Bad news is that looking through my deck I realized that I never got around to picking up Last Chance to replace Final Fortune . I ma...

Re: Double Masters Set
I have mostly given up on these special art promo products. The price point is always unreasonable to do anything more than order a single or two from the product. Its fine, I just don't intend to really buy anything like this. A lot of the special art stuff I don't even like. I would rather have a...

Re: Why Wizards of the Coast Has No Real Competitive Answer to EDH / Commander
I primarily play edh and I buy boxes, though not every set. Bought a box of unstable, modern horizons, and Dominaria most recently. I usually buy a box or two a year. Make a set interesting and I'll buy it, run a draft night or two with friends, then work it into commander decks. Make a set parasit...

Re: Comp. Rule 903.11 vs. Commander Rule 11
The correct ruling is the RC's Rule 11, that you cannot pull cards from outside of the game. Therefore, Companions are legal but wishes/sideboards are not. Personally, I still disagree, these two things contradict themselves and just causes issues. You can't purposefully say cards that bring in new ...

Re: Double Masters Set
Knowing that Commander Legends is coming out sometime later this year somewhat dissuades me from wanting to invest too much into Double Masters. There's a chance I'll buy a few singles, but like any masters set it'll be too expensive for me to justify getting too much. I have a feeling Legends will...

Double Masters Set
Double Masters looks like the next reprint set for Magic. They have already confirmed no fetchlands and given us two preview cards, Blightsteel Colossus and Doubling Season . So far this is what we know: 332 Cards 24 packs per box 15 cards per pack w/ 2 rares and 2 foils 2 non-foil showcase box topp...

Re: Tasigur's Revenge: Forbidden Oracles
I am a little curious why Urza, Lord High Artificer is in the deck. Seems like a little bit of a deviation. Not to mention, if you do activate him, and cannot cast off the activation, its in exile while Tasigur wants them in the graveyard. I would think Thrasios, Triton Hero would be better, no? Gr...

Re: Buying Staples
I think it depends heavily on what formats and how you want to play them. LED is something that for commander you will incredibly rarely use. I have found one use for it ever outside of infinite combos for commander. Personally, its something I wouldn't pick up unless I have a reason to pick it up....

Re: Choose Companion Randomly at Beginning of Game. Umori // Kaheera // Zirda // Obosh // Jegantha // Keruga
Honestly, this looks to be the only way companion looks fun at all. I personally hate the idea of them and wish they were never printed, but we can't change that now.
Anyway good job, nice list. Good luck ever getting some wins, but the deck idea looks fun.

Re: [SCD] Karn, Scion of Urza
Depending on the speed of your build, I would put Mystic Forge in over Karn. This will potentially net more than one card vs, drawing a card that your opponents know about and exiling another card that your opponents know. The fact you can only return those cards through Karn makes it kind of a dang...
