I've actually altered a few lands to just have a large version of the mana symbol, so I'm sure I'll find a home for some of those lands. The themes all seem on point, and my goodness with those Commander announcements... Although, that's a lot of Commander all at once... Like, even spaced out over a...

Modern 2.0 - Electric Boogaloo

Well, best of luck for you. Here's hoping. Sadly, I don't know enough about the markets across the pond to help. I'd say that data entry sounds like a position that could be remote, so you might be able to find things online outside your normal area; but I know that a lot of US companies shun away f...

Well balls, I'm unexpectedly unemployed. On the plus side, I might actually be able to get down to my local Commander night for a bit now. Dragonlover That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that, although at least you have a silver lining I guess? What do you do? How long do you expect your down time to be ...

So I have a friend. His birthday is soon. He requested we bring steak, and cake. He then realized his error, and stated, "but not a Steak Cake." He even singled me out, and said "I'm talking to you, bobthefunny ." But it was too late. And I took that singling out as a challenge. ...

bobthefunny it's coming along nicely. You should see how open it is in person.

The new room? Just say when.

Then they were playing far below the deck's power ceiling. Discarding for value is never going to be as strong as the ability to draw 50 cards for 0. That's the inherent problem with Anje as a commander. One strategy is just so far head and shoulders above the rest . It's Edgar all over again. And ...

Don't care about Mystery Boosters, let's predict what is Sheldon designing at WoTC

Probably something broken that he knows he'll have to ban eventually.

Playtest name : bad dreams keep coming back

Plenty of Commanders have broken interactions or infinite combos with them. Playing them differently is sub-optimal. Yet you'll still find Prosh decks without food chain , because some people want to have fun. I'm sure people will build "sub optimal" Anje decks built around madness cards, ...

I'm going to go with Flood of Tears here. Show is obviously more powerful, but unless you're doing shenanigans in CEDH, or playing some absurd grouphug... I feel that Flood of Tears could be more broadly applicable in battle-cruiser EDH - letting you clear a tricky boardstate while still progressing...

Definitely agree there. It's just such an easy win. There's not a single modicum of needing to play Craterhoof with any precision, talent or timing, it's just cast, swing, win. Very boring. Lol I love how people complain that Craterhoof Behemoth|AVR is an "easy win" or requires "no t...

If you stack enough value engines together, eventually it becomes a combo in a different way each time.

I was considering the lords, but then there's always the question of - "Wouldn't it be better to just Rite the lords?"

I think it's got potential, and can be made to work. And if it does, it's going to be really annoying for your opponents to mess with your stuff.

Well, I have managed to scrounge up what cardkingdom is willing to pay me $5,600 (before grading) in cash for. I don't really want to think about what it would cost me to order these cards again but in attempting to be a more responsible adult I am moving those cards to reduce some debt before my w...

So, I have a deck that likes to drop frost titan, and clone it a bunch of times. Frost Titans are surprisingly annoying for opponents to deal with. My first thought looking at this guy was that he'd be fun to cast a Rite of Replication on... unfortunately though, I don't really know what I would wan...

They did that well with the 2017 precons, with C17 coming out in between Amonkhet and Ixalan. Amonkhet had a number of Cat tribal cards for the Cat deck, and Ixalan had some Vampires for Edgar. Dragons weren't really supported in those sets, but had a larger tribe to begin with, although Modern Mast...

I definitely also believe this. But, the games where they do badly because you draw them early. I feel like they're one of the last lands you ever want to drop, unless your decks don't spend much mana developing a board in the early game. I generally shy away from them because they're not in the un...

I will say this though; sometimes they get caught up in collateral damage. Something like Casualties of War where it's the "best" land on the battlefield (because several of the other four types needed answering), I'm going to have to disagree with you Sinis. I'm not going to claim that b...

I think it's a good step up from last year's offering (and I love last year's offering, so this says a lot). I mean, I love the design of Nerf War and Sword of Dungeons & Dragons , and I have a much closer tie to those two products/universes - but you can't really run those cards. Grimlock, Dino...

It's this year's Hasbro crossover thing, so only 3 cards. Much like Grimlock/Nerfwar from yesteryear. Since I run a Grimlock deck, if I get these, I'll probably build a Pony deck. Since Grimlock is pretty solid Dino tribal, I'll probably build Pony deck as Horse/Pegasus tribal, which shouldn't be to...

Questing Beast seems reasonable as a Voltron commander due to the pile of keywords and a bit of evasion. Vigilance and deathtouch don't really help the Voltron strategy though, and with only four power, QB needs some extra assistance to reach 21 commander damage. Deathtouch does work well with tram...

This is a tough one, as both are powerful and Iconic, but I'm going to go with Force of Will . Being able to respond even when you're tapped out is incredibly potent, as you can stop plays that people were waiting for an opening to make. Next up, two of my favorite wraths. I think each has shown up ...

Not surprised either - even on the Flash side. If any discussions are ongoing with the cEDH crowd, I imagine it would take a bit longer than what's been had for things to really mature. In normal EDH, Flash isn't as much of a bogeyman.

So, as someone who didn't get to prerelease, any feedback on playtesting from Eldraine sealed? I know there's things I've got my eye on, but it's nice to get some RL feedback from early testing (however well that translates between sealed and EDH :smirk: ) I only got to one prerelease as well, but ...

With regards to the suggestions for a scaling scry (or Index ) approach - my initial reason for suggesting that the first player skip their initial draw was based on the original data (the first player has a distinct advantage, but players 2/3/4 all have the same probability of winning). As a resul...
