Until you get it written and notarized that I get your MTG collection, you're not allowed to die okay? I have no idea how my gf would go about trying to sell off my collection. Honestly I'd be kinda curious. Maybe she'd spend so long trying to figure out which cards were worth money that she'd end ...

It's an interesting piece, but I think the big limitation is that it's only one card per turn under normal circumstances. Most cheap-spell spellslinger decks aren't content to cast occasional spells for eventual value - they're casting a bunch all in one turn, which this can't profit off of. And if ...

I almost died last weekend. Had an experienced/rusty student getting back in the saddle. After a few passes, managed to get a good approach. Touched down fine. Told him to put the power back in for a touch and go...and he applied no rudder (or maybe the wrong rudder considering how quickly things we...

Wouldn't it be better to drop your token producer before Ghired? It has haste and gives your other creatures the ability, so it doesn't need to sit around a turn to do something, and playing it without something to copy just seems.like you're begging for a single removal spell to wreck your tempo. ...

They're great for starting up token copying if you don't have a way to do so already. And yeah, they're mostly used to hit some thing big, like a Terror of the Peaks or what have you. But you've also got added utility with Kiki to just hold it up for eot and generate a huge army if you need to turt...

Gotta say you got some pieces in here I didn't think about. Thanks! Although I feel like it's a very straightforward list. But I'm curious as to how this list will do over time. With all the one drops I wonder how the games are going to average out. Be my luck I'd draw all the dork half of my deck ...

Got to test it out a decent amount, finally. Had a partial game that went pretty middlingly - multiple board wipes and a lot of targeted removal aimed at me made life difficult, and I was wanting more draw. Game didn't end though so idk how it would have gone. All the other games were pretty straigh...

I think shocks/checks/other dual lands are actually quite weak for 5c. Shocks are good because they're fetch targets. Without fetches, big meh. My preference would be to focus on a single color as my fixing color (so, probably green), or use a primary color which can get the deck moving (i.e. blue w...

Also stack of squirrels today, though at least that's a legal card sorta. Doesn't show up though.

I'd think Stop Cold is pretty bad... for 4 mana, it can remove a creature... untill they get enchantment removal, or a bounce spell. why not just exile the card instead with Winds of Abandon or something similar. It's for getting rid of commanders in a semi-permanent fashion, either because we deem...

Sometimes it really blows my mind that CA engines this strong aren't good enough for modern commander.

I have a foil Russian one if anyone is interested btw xD

Winter moon is the nonbasic hate that we need, but I suspect not the kind people want as it's comparatively soft - much softer than B2B or winter orb. But it'll probably get played in decks that were already eschewing nonbasics for the red nonbasic hate. As long as you're already eschewing good util...

I think people are overrating cultist. Aside from DD, which sucks in eldrazi commander decks anyway, are there worthwhile synergies? agh I really dislike gravekill being thrown into these board wipes for free... or rather I think Shadows' Verdict type-implementation which just blasts a subset of ca...

Obviously, Imposing Grandeur is pretty much guaranteed to be better for you than your opponents, and often it will be card DISADVANTAGE for you're opponents. But again, you've got plenty of strong draw options that don't run the risk of aiding your opponents. Lmao I somehow forgot my opponents also...

Final Act gives us another way to remove poison counters, when paired with Sudden Substitution or Hive Mind. Everything else is symmetrical so control doesn't really matter.

darrenhabib fair enough. Make sure you're counting cyclers etc though - I think we must have more than you're counting. Also don't forget the surveil land off a fetch can dump another cmc into the grave if we have a mana free. Though I think another big factor is that, barring a few choice cards an...

As a utility land enthusiast I'm very into Urza's Cave. wight of the reliquary just seems absurd. Turning creatures into lands on its own would be really strong, but it hits nonbasics? AND it has a cost discount on KotR? Friend of mine saw a leak of null elemental blast and thought it cost 1 instead...

The deck is looking sweet. Thanks! With the instant/sorcery cost reducers, if you look at cards that are probably going to be cast for free ( Fierce Guardianship , Submerge , etc) and those that you are cycling then your actual targets are only 20. There are 23 cards that can leverage Sapphire Meda...

*Annihilator is an inherently brutally unfun mechanic. Values of 1 or 2 are painful, but manageable, but 4+ can be back-breaking, and a lot of the eldrazi that see play also come with indestructible, and are themselves huge threats, so not only are you getting set further and further behind, your o...

Updated list: Commander (1) 1 Eris, Roar of the Storm Value Engines (16) 1 Veyran, Voice of Duality 1 Stella Lee, Wild Card 1 Wavebreak Hippocamp 1 Jori En, Ruin Diver 1 Teferi's Ageless Insight 1 Archmage Emeritus 1 Roaming Throne 1 Ojer Pakpatiq, Deepest Epoch 1 Invasion of Arcavios 1 Arcane Bomba...

I imagine it will be meta-dependent, but my guess would be that you do as much damage with the general itself as with the dragons. If that's the case, I think the deck has horribly failed in its goal. I guess we'll see. I feel like having so many instants makes it potentially better. I don't follow...

added Case of the Ransacked Lab - forgot about that one. I think in this sort of shell, I'd try to fit in a haste granter like Expedite . Cheap cantrip for a double spell turn, and ideally from an empty board you could afford a cheap Eris, expedite to make a dragon and swing in for 5, and still be a...

Been making cuts and additions to the instants/sorceries stuff, but more interesting is the consideration of value engines to include. Current top considerations: Draw/board value 1 Veyran, Voice of Duality 1 Stella Lee, Wild Card 1 Wavebreak Hippocamp 1 Jori En, Ruin Diver 1 Teferi's Ageless Insigh...

Honestly, I'm not even sure if I can identify why, but my interest in every eldrazi is zero. It's like they all have a big sign that says "this card isn't for you".
