I like the combo of partners! Some cards this brought to my mind: Teysa, Orzhov Scion — Seems like a no-brainer to me. Makes flying Spirits out of Tormod's Zombies, exile removal, costs three mana, so she can be recycled with Sun Titan/Teshar. All thing you wanna do, right? Athreos, God of Passage ...

I wanted to make a white black deck recently, and turned to Tormod, the Desecrator as the Commander I wanted to look at. Tormod has a rather interesting ability that can get out of hand quickly. The "one or more" clause tells me that I want to return things individually multiple times, rat...

Fetch+dual is by far one of the strongest manabases you can have. However, unless you're playing topend Commander, it's not necessary. I find myself holding back, and running sub-par fetches and new duals, to bring the budget more inline with my playgroup, and they're plenty fine.

I feel 30 equipment is overkill, you're better off running 10-15, and some support and draw to get into them. Puresteel Paladin , Sram, Senior Edificer , Leonin Shikari , Stonehewer Giant are all solid equipment package cards. Since you're going r/w, Godo, Bandit Warlord is a possibility as well. Em...

I found Apex Altisaur to be a nice second wrath effect. Vivien, Champion of the Wilds is a nice backup should your Commander get removed. I also like Questing Beast as an anti-fog card, but that may be a bit more meta dependent. I switched over to flip Nissa for my Commander, but I think our decks a...

Was it AIR - ITH - KNEE ? Because if, not, I'm still getting it wrong, though at least I think I managed to spell it correctly.

Air-Ith-Nay, per my own made up pronunciation rules

Your name, your rules!

or worse, pronounce it, as it's not particularly intuitive. Was it AIR - ITH - KNEE ? Because if, not, I'm still getting it wrong, though at least I think I managed to spell it correctly. @Airi it still to this day screws with me that you don't have a cat avatar lol. Granted that happens to me when...

I didn't choose this name, actually. When I was younger, I visited my brother at his college, and to keep me busy he plopped me down in front of this game called StarCraft. Since he didn't want me messing up the stats on his account, he created a throwaway account called "bobthefunny." I t...

You can run three plus color decks with Emeria, I just think in a lot of cases they have to be sort of slow decks or use a lot of land ramp to pull it off. Even if you do manage to make it work how many utility lands do you get to run and how fast is said deck? Land ramp helps, but I think the bigg...

Glad to help! What were the biggest differences between the Chainer, Dementia Master version and the Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed version? Oooh boy. The hard questions up first. Chainer is much faster at the combo - the reanimation is only 3 mana, and returns directly to play. This makes expensive creat...

Landbase Cost - Mono white isn't an easy task by any means. There are some really sweet cards and synergies that you get to use but that isn't to say you can't run Emeria, the Sky Ruin in GW and have access to four fetchable duals and green's land ramp / nonbasic land search effects. I've run Emeri...

While Sigarda, Host of Herons is great, Thrun isn't straight up outclassed as his regeneration protects him from a LOT of boardwipes. Oblivion Stone , Blasphemous Act , Austere Command , Pernicious Deed ... While there are a lot of wraths that have entered the popular circle now that exile, tuck, sa...

I have played a fair amount of mono-black as well. My flagship deck is Chainer, Dementia Master , but that deck has also swapped out commanders to run Balthor the Defiled , Geth, Lord of the Vault , Kagemaro, First to Suffer , Braids, Cabal Minion (before banning), Kokusho, the Evening Star , Xiahou...

@toctheyounger Aw, what's the link? I have no facebook, and therefore cannot see. But I could use some silver linings! P.S. I also want to briefly plug the october CCL contest over in custom cards. The theme is legendary villains, and if that great of a theme doesn't get some creative juices flowin...

Ethereal Haze not only works as a Holy Day but stops Purphoros, God of the Forge , Niv-Mizzet, Parun and others from triggering as well. You have convinced me to give Ethereal Haze a try. I've also noticed that Obscuring Haze has this templating as well, which makes it much more than just a free fo...

You've put a lot of yourself into the community here, and going back all the way to Salvation as well. At several points, you practically were the Primer Committee, and held a lot of our community together. On a more direct note, you're the one that introduced me to Scab-Clan Berserker s, and let me...

Apex Altisaur has been pretty good for me. It's been a nice version of a green boardwipe effect.

But that's really a completely separate issue from the Walking Dead Secret Lair. I don't see how this distinction matters in practice today. What I care about is how much it costs me to acquire the cards I want for my decks. The TWD Secret Lair cards are far cheaper than many high-powered EDH stapl...

I'm going to toss in an unpopular opinion here, but I disagree with a lot of the vitriol towards the release method. If these had been silver-bordered, practically no one would have batted an eye. Grimlock, Dinobot Leader // Grimlock, Ferocious King and Princess Twilight Sparkle exist, and no one re...

Looking over your list with Sinis . So it seems that the plan is to get to 6 apostles, sac them, get a tutor, and go get thrumming stone? At first I was questioning The Cauldron of Eternity , but I see that it's to combo with the thrumming stone to put the disciples back on the bottom, and loop them...

@bobthefunny I...... walked into your sally helpdesk and was going to be like hey whats up bud. Then I read the last few posts. yeah... it's been a ride. My biggest task is trying to find someone to be a local mod for the Rumor Mill so I don't have to do it anymore. Surprisingly, no one wants to do...

I have found that the issue with Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale is precisely the dependence on equipment. Given her ability, she makes a better Equipment deck that happens to have Knights, rather than a Knights deck. Sinis was kind enough to link my Knights deck, which definitely sacrifices power for fla...

(Does Feldon of the Third Path plus Lesser Masticore create a spare 1/1 Masticore token every turn? That's really fun!) Sadly, this will not work. While the tokens will trigger the persist, they will be removed from the GY and cease to exist as a SBA and will not return. I was also thinking about Q...
