flametongue kavu So what is the forum's opinion on this badass lizard? I had a spare slot in Korvold and slapped him in for nostalgia and because in edh, efficacy is secondary to the "cool" factor. But in a land of cupacabras and other etb plus-ultra creatures around, am I just wasting sp...

I think a better challenge would be a deck engineered to win on <10 life like ol' standard faeries. Doesn't make for an exciting shootout or standoff when someone just blows their own brains out, but it could be cool to kill off everyone else with one hand while holding in the wrecked remnants of yo...

The five drop only saves you from damage. Exquisite Archangel can technically save you from alternate loss conditions, but not for long unless your issue is taking too much damage.

I.e. trite angel trash is just that, just play platinum angel and get the full effect.

Meloku is Absolutely Unbeatable in limited, not sure about it's edh capabilities. Patron of the Moon? Sunder? Eeeehhh....

DirkGently I think there's an argument for commiting to the mastery of a deck. Most edh decks are vastly complex and players are more likely to get bored with deck before they've actually explored the full extent of its potential/nuance. By contrast, people who marry themselves to their decks usual...

It happens to me most when I switch archetypes too frequently. I have to commit to a playstyle/mode of thinking for a night, otherwise I screw up my pacing something awful.

@Guardman it's been too long since I've heard the lemon rant. Cave might be insane, but you gotta be inspired by the man's sheer gusto.

Love this card on paper, never seen it in play. I think the core issue with impact resonance is that it's a value spell disguised as a removal spell. The card does nothing in a vacuum; instead its opportunistic design forces it to be used post-damage on what was likely already a pivotal turn in the ...

I still want to own one It's not really a walletslayer anymore. Stupid thing was like 50 clams when it first hit standard way back when. it's mainly I keep forgetting/spending money on other things lol Word. Part of me just wanted to write "walletslayer" one last time before this card is ...

It's not really a walletslayer anymore. Stupid thing was like 50 clams when it first hit standard way back when.

Foreword/liabilty Look, I got a question and I need some honest answers. I'm not trying to start a riot with this, thus I am going to tread VERY carefully here. Trying my best, truly and honestly. May Cryo have mercy on my mtgn account should I fail. For as long as I have been able to dress myself a...

I would just slam together a UG "play %$#% every turn" deck. Basically look at Prophet of Kruphix and extrapolate that idea to an entire deck. Seedborn Muse, Wilderness Reclamation, Teferi, etc. Sprinkle on some ramp, draw, a few choice mana sinks, and maybe 5-6 extra turn spells just so y...

Yawgmoth and K'rriK are the best father/son in magic. Looking at their lore, they both built their own societies in isolated realities (Yawg in Phyrexia proper and K'rrik in the time bubble) and they've both got such a cunning focus on the endgame of the family business. They're like evil model trai...

DirkGently I'm picking up what you're putting down, but I wonder if an extra 2/3 tacked to each member of a wildly underpowered tribe is really as big of a bonus as you're estimating. For example, you're at a table with Kykar, korvold and this minotaur man, are you really worried about this guy? I ...

Well, Sethron, Hurloon General is definitely a card to make minotaur tribal work. Unlike the unicorn tbh, which just looks like combo city. I do find it a little...idk...dumb, when they have a tribe that is, for all intents and purposes, not a functional tribe in commander, and then print a command...

@3drinks I don't think you get to decide which cows are sacred by virtue of being one of the minority of beefeaters in India. You sound like a cartoon supervillian sometimes. "The masses are ignorant. I will... educate them. I will devastate their lands, suffocate them under the crumbling ruins...

Storm decks are best for this. Jhoira W.C. and Selvala are my top two games of solitaire.

I'm kind of shocked that Golos isnt an option in the what should be banned question.

I hadn't heard a ton of chatter about it.

Golos gets talked up a lot by the CZ, EDHrecast, etc. I think more people should play pithing needle instead.

For example, I had taken a guy's Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God and then Chaos Wand him hitting his Time Stretch which would've let me win the game by ultimating Nicol Bolas. He then said "You know what. I don't want you winning, so with Time Stretch on the stack I concede." Which not only preve...

Oh, I did think of one other thing I would like changed. If you control another player's permanent and they lose the game, I should be able to keep control of all their permanents I control (as long as it isn't something temporary like Act of Treason ). As a person that enjoys playing steal effects...

One word embodies, expresses, and capsulates my general feeling and opinion towards this rules change.

Thus with greatest eloquence I can muster, I humbly present that word to you: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Inb4 "Skullclamp: life insurance with an even wider range of coverage"

DirkGently Yeah, Im not a huge fan of strict manafixing either. I'm currently playing only one and two color decks because of how unenjoyable I find that game mechanic to be. I'd rather establish my strengths and limitations early on in deckbuilding rather than tinker with the variance of 3-5 color...

prismatic omen is 21 dollars Juzám Djinn is a thousand dollars, but I'm not putting it in my commander decks. Price =/= quality. Fixing in commander is god-tier already. The main draw of this new card is that it taps for 5 (and since that's all colourless, fixing that mana specifically does make a ...

I really like Silent Gravestone because it is both an effective hate piece on board and grave hate when popped. Neither option is the best in class, but the flexibility of having two layers of defense against graveyards is quite nice. It's not my first choice for its function, but it's usually secon...
