I'd format-level errata back how wishes used to work (i.e. how karn, the great creator works). The exile zone was added to the game to simplify rules text on cards and to officially signify that the cards aren't somehow dangling in a timeless and spaceless void. Why can't wishes just grab cards from...

I have a Selenia, dark angel life-control deck that I've been thinking about changing to becoming a more "lich.dec" build. I have only one copy of original lich, which sorta started it all, but I've no idea how to build around the idea. Colour-wise, it's gonna have to be BWx, where X could...

Not sure what else to say but good card is good.

Efficient, goes around hexproof shroud indestructible. Also, the bane of my zedruu voltron deck.

Cards like terror was great because it was a strong, cheap, but has a niche effect. Cards like that are interesting. Doing the "all your cards now tap for triple mana and makes you draw a card, because why not" sort of value nonsense is a bit too much. I agree with the general sentiment, ...

edit: i wonder how edh would differ if every card with "commander" written on it was banned provisionally. giggle I've actually been mulling about a Highlander variant, with some of the commander rules, where only Expansion and Core sets are legal. Do you (or anyone else for that matter) ...

I think wishes should be templated like karn, the great creator (like how they meant for it to work when they first printed them). Exile is a 'new' zone that wotc added to the game waaaaay later. Wishes like ring of ma'ruf were added to the game to bring back cards that were lost to the removed from...

Dunno.. I don't think ive played either, though i see where they could be pretty good. That 4 cmc is pretty hefty to leave open though. I'm more into the idea of niche/specific answers than broader answers (i.e. swords to plowshares/elderspell). I don't like having to keep the rest of the table &quo...

So the amount of cards being released for EDH has been really skyrocketing recently (as in commander, brawl decks, even stuff like mystery booster, modern horizons, so on). Any opinions on whether or not it is not enough still, a good amount, or too much? Keep the good work up, and hope things are g...

I don't pull punches. You know what's a worse feeling that getting creamed in a game? knowing that your opponent(s) are 'taking it easy' on ya with baby gloves. I find it insulting and a waste of time when people do it to me. I want people to play to the best that they can, and not pity others. If p...

it was very good in my (now taken apart) child of alara 'lands' control deck. sure i might mill some 'key' pieces, but 2 mana draw 2-4 cards? most blue cards can't even do that. Its probably quite underplayed as you say, but it really does require a deck to be built around it. Just cuz you run green...

Wouldn't it be more interesting if the rule was something like: 1. run a normal general as per normal EDH rules 2. the other 99 cards in the deck CANNOT have colours associated with the general's colour, including land types. 3. Have fun. So if one were to build chromium , the other 99 cards can onl...

Icy Manipulator Dromoka gets tapped constantly and I get to attack through her with my creatures. EDIT: clarification. Tap Dromoka at the start of combat so your opponent can't move the equipment before attacking. Also think that Basandra, Battle Seraph might just stop the combo on its tracks (your...

If the whole point of the current rule is to keep the format diverse, i'm all for it (even if i disagree with it on a more philosophical/design perspective). Limiting the number of cards that could go in each deck is probably a good idea. There are so many so-called-staples that hamper the current d...

There's supposed to be a lot of "good reprints" in the commander product this year, so it might be the wrong time to buy staples right now. I may be the wrong person to ask when it comes to this topic. I buy proxies for cards and own an Edric deck that only had commons and cost $30. At th...

yes, it's good. The 3 cmc for a 'do nothing' isn't great though, but when left alone, it can REALLY help you dig through your deck. compare opt with: 1u instant scry 1, scry 2, draw a card. It's almost as good as impulse ! or in an extreme example, enter the infinite + scry 2. mind blown. i guess in...

time and tide into murder ? I mean.. the dragon exists during that player's turn, right? couldn't you just kill it at that point? or the equipment? Or couldn't you counter teferi's protection? or stifle the trigger? or narset's reversal it? I probably misread the puzzle/riddle, and am not answering...

there might be some other viable options, depending on what the rest of your deck looks like. But as said, FoN is probably a safer bet, since you're able to save up 1uu to hardcast it. The thing with counterspells in EDH isn't that you wanna be able to say "gotcha" when an opponent tries s...

Well hey.. i like these lands. Moreso in EDH than other formats though. You're likely to have 2 or more basics in play anyways, and being fetchable means that you're able to do weird things like use a R/G fetch to get a G/W land to swords a guy in a pinch. It's great as a budget alternative to the A...

junk diver myr retriever Workshop Assistant I'm a big fan of these type of effects. Don't forget about Workshop Assistant and the absolutely busted, when built around it, Scrap Trawler . As someone who's always pretty curve-centric, i'd pick Myr Retriever first. I love looping it in my Teshar, Ance...

I don't think I run Kavu in any of my decks. It's good and all, but none fit in the kinda decks I happen to run. In fact, it gets hosed by my tresserhorn deck (torpor orb/leaves the battlefield theme) deck. Just curious though, aside from blinking/regrowth sorta things, are there other ways to reall...

It'd be used more often if I had more BWx decks.

Instant speed removal at cmc 3 or less is always welcome!

I didnt see mentioned, but isn't scroll rack + land tax something worth bringing up as a very good card draw engine? I think every mono white deck ive ever played had it in it (both in EDH and legacy). Anyways, i've not had problems winning with mono white. The only reason why i dont have the deck a...

Yea i concur. It's pretty bad. pretty unplayable. consider: arcane denial confound corrupted resolve delay disdainful stroke dispersal shield essence scatter evasive action extinguish false summoning flash counter flashfreeze grip of amnesia horribly awry jaded response mana leak memory lapse miscal...

(The Zedruu build is highly unusual, too, but tstorm823 can speak to it since its his.) I don't know, Zedruu seems like a pretty popular answer in here. It's probably the right answer, but I want to say something different. I've a zedruu voltron deck. Full of 1-2 cmc auras like bravado and blue sca...

No love for zo-zu the punisher? mana denial, ankh of mishra, all those other fun effects? I had a nice one a while back, it curved out at cmc4 with ruination. aggressive, low to the ground, blood moon, wheels,and fun. I can imagine feldon reanimator would be good tho. maybe i should give that a shot...
