Re: Remastering Bad Commanders - Lockdown Project

The Unspeakable Jank combo standard card pairing with Reach Through Mists , Peer Through Depths and Sift Through Sands . I love the idea but not only does it not work properly in EDH, but even if it did you get essentially a vanilla beater with jank card draw effect. Not good enough. I want to run ...

Re: Remastering Bad Commanders - Lockdown Project

Zahid, Djinn of the Lamp Reasonably recent, but has had enough time to not be played. This guy is standard fodder, a french vanilla beater with a conditional discount. He has a cool idea though by tying into the genie in the lamp theme. Wonder how this would work for Djinn tribal... Zahid, Djinn of...

It's pretty mediocre. I'm a primary school teacher and the sort of 'teaching' they get us to do digitally is a joke. Just want to get out of the house and back to work honestly.

Re: Commander Legends II, Identity Emblems

That's a nice design, simple and effective. Because I can't just leave a design like that alone, what about affinities that benefit your opponents as opposed to weakening yourself? Affinity for White: The first spell you cast in the game costs 2 additional to cast. Affinity for Blue: At the start of...

Re: Remastering Bad Commanders - Lockdown Project

NZ did pretty well for itself, but now we are back in lockdown and I am back to this project. The leaderboard for unplayed, bad old commanders is probably different now, but I'm just going to start from the legend after Sol'kenar and anyone who gets missed... well, sucks for them!

Re: When (not) to run Back to Basics | Blood Moon | Hall of Gemstone?

I used Ruination as an example, since it's more... acceptable than Armageddon type cards for forum discussion. And your description is usually the result of people not setting up their wincon before they nuke all lands. When a player MLD, he needs to at least be certain he could kill a player withi...

Re: When (not) to run Back to Basics | Blood Moon | Hall of Gemstone?

I love these cards. Anything to counteract the current paradigm of "more colors = always better". My only issues are that a) they punish mid-low tier manabases more than top tier ones (tapped duals vs fetches that can find basics) and b) they don't deal with the land ramp train that define...

Re: How to Combat Permission

I want to second the Armageddon suggestion earlier. If your playgroup is getting to this stage, where control is this oppressive, some of the other sacred cows have to die to give the other colors a chance. If your group says that infinite counters are fine but Armageddon is not, you guys have a pro...

Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider "entering with X +1/+1 counters"

If Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider was to "enter with" a number of +1/+1 counters on it, would it see its own +1/+1 counters and double them? Probably simple for people who understand the rules better, but man its got me scratching my head!

I imagine it has much the same problem as multiplayer Tiny Leaders did, which was cluttered boardstates with no way to clear them.

Re: Did Partners change how you view/play the format? If so, how?

Disliked the original partners, many of them were just too good given they were one of two commanders. Didn't like how they would sometimes be taken 'just for colors' and easily unlock 4c decks that were often not very interesting in design. The new partners have shifted me heavily in the other dire...
