Re: How many cards per game does your commander represent?

Hmm I'd say.. Doran, the Siege Tower 0 realistically, his presence doesn't make any impact on the sources of draw. Xenagos, God of Revels I'd say, assuming I draw a relevant piece of card draw, which I usually do, probably at least 5-6, but other times 20+. Purely due to doubling p/t and thus doubli...

Re: Nexus Online Playgroup Thread!

Yeah great games guys, surprised Doran held out as long as he did. I'll have to upload more of my decks, only doing ones I have in paper at the moment.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Thaumatic Compass

It is pretty slow of course. Some will mainly plan to have it flip right away and have as a better Maze. I do have it in a mono black deck that's pretty casual with a high cmc, so it's at least a repeatable if a bit expensive way to draw lands if you're stuck early. But raw card draw would probably ...

Re: Your favourite "big dumb fatties" generals

It's going to be Godzilla, King of the Monsters I had a good look at that as I love Gruul and battlecruiser, but I think it might end up being underwhelming. A lot of "fatties" in gruul have equal or near equal p/t, so no real benefit basing their toughness on power in most cases, they'd ...

Re: Yeva - play creatures, draw cards

Obviously in a deck like this unless you're gunning for whatever the absolute most competitive version you could create is, there are so many options at each cmc that in some ways I just end up picking pet cards etc. But that said just two recent suggestions that come to mind immediately Nylea, Keen...

Re: Is Paper Magic Becoming Too Expensive?

For me as someone who plays solely EDH at the moment and pretty casually, I would say not much has changed since I started in 2015. I used to play standard but stopped a couple of years back, I tend to still buy a box as honestly I like cracking packs and having a bit of a collection, even though lo...

Re: Your favourite "big dumb fatties" generals

I'm a big fan of battlecruiser magic so most of my decks revolve around casting fatties and turning them sideways, sometimes I go wide, but generally even then they've become fat via counters etc. So my main one is Xenagos, God of Revels since it turns even mid-range creatures into "big dumb fa...

Re: Winota - Assemble the Humans

Had a quick scan so might be missing something but Waylay seems questionable here? You don't seem to have many ways to grant mass haste, Anger seems to be it really? and so you're going to lose these 3 tokens before they can get an attack in much of the time? There's probably loads of options and yo...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

I skimmed Nethroi, Apex of Death initially and thought he was strong but didn't think about him much until I looked at him again and realized he's pretty nucking futs for Doran Toughness Matters style decks. He's not going to be a house himself on in combat but his mutate ability is going to let yo...

Re: Best targets for Mutate?

That means that self-recurring creatures like reassembling skeleton , gutterbones and so on will be good for mutate? Yes would think that's a decent idea, If as I understand it the mutate stack of cards are treated as one creature with all the abilities, would Endless Cockroaches as a base give you...

Did strike me as odd it's not simic at least. I mean suppose that's the sort of decks it'll end up in mainly or Yeva, Nature's Herald

New card is strictly better due to cycling in addition to the other text and having the same CC.
Also says player not opponent.. Though don't know if there's any way at all for your own creature to deal combat damage to yourself?

Personally I've never dismantled a deck, though since starting playing commander probably 3 years ago, I only have 5 decks up to now. For my first deck, Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest , I have "updated" it to the extent I've taken it apart and made many card changes to alter the way the deck ...

Re: [THB] MTG Twitter Spoiler: Allure of the Unknown

Eh could have cost 4cmc? I mean It's basically draw 5 for 5 and by the way your opponent just saw what you drew, they also took the best card from your top 6, by the by they can also play that for free.

Think I'd rather Promise of power or Necrologia etc.
