multiple control turns vs extra turns

Let's say I somehow I cast and copy Worst Fears against the same player. Let's say that when I mindslave the player, I cast an extra turn spell from his hand. Do I control his next turn too, or multiple mindslave effects on the same turn against the same player does effectively nothing, are not cumu...

Re: Proxies in Commander

You didn't ruin anything, you've proven my point. I didnt prove your point, you are confusing the things. Daxos is not a 100 dollars (or more) card. Is cheap exactly because it not competitively viable, among other things. Are the cards that makes results in tournaments the ones that cost money and...

Re: Proxies in Commander

Nah. The highest determinant is deck strength, which does not fully correlate with budget. My 2014 Purphoros, God of the Forge deck which I tossed together for about 50 euro or so would absolutely obliterate my current Daxos the Returned list, I'm sorry to ruin your dreams but Daxos is not a compet...

Re: Proxies in Commander

piloting a $5000 deck he has no idea how to play isn't likely to win against a competent budget player who knows their deck inside and out. That's not realistically what will happens in game, Who got the resources to invest thousands of money in cardboard has also the time to learn how to play dece...

Re: Proxies in Commander

You are completely ignoring the main point of what I'm saying, and I sincerely have no interest on discussing on somebody trying to climb mirrors just to prove his point against reality. If two players have same budget and same experience, they will roughly have the same chances of winning. If one o...

Re: Proxies in Commander

For the people who have posted about proxies leveling the playing field for EDH games, I find that play-skill is heavily underrated in EDH for some reason. And deck-building is a significant part of play-skill. Play-skill heavily depends on how you deckbuilded your deck. And deckbuilding totally de...

Re: Proxies in Commander

Favor for 100% proxied decks in EDH. Reasons: 1) I'm in favor for a "play to win" and not "pay to win" games in general. With no proxies, the richest player is just the one with more advantage regardless of the players skills. That's no fun for nobody. 2) In casual kitchen table ...

Keranos, absolutely. Just more value overall, drawing and dealing damage to anybody every turn is miles better than tutoring lands in a conditional way.

Re: What Would You Ban/Unban?

God, a lot of these unbans would be terrible. I think people who argue for Prime Time forget, or never experienced, how annoying it was for every game with a green deck to become steal the Titan. Wrong. In my playgroup we have unbanned all the cards and ignoring all bannings since 2012 (that doesn'...

For starters, they are both terrible chandras, but the former has no excuse because it's not from a Planeswalker deck LOL. At least the art is pretty, and if it was legal as commander, I would definitely play her in that role, but in a vacuum the Bold Pyromancer is just straight more playable versat...

Myr Battlesphere! You don't have to wait a turn for the tokens, and is just more aggressive most of times.

Re: Which do you like more?

EDIT: Karn liberated, obviously, always. Goes straight in almost all my EDH decks, regardless of the strategy. Exiling any permanent on a stick is just too good, even at seven mana.

Re: [ELD] Hushbringer (LadyLavinias)

I would never said that a Magic art is Kitsch, but with all those belt lips, it wins the crown of kitchness and bad taste hands down.

Really, without all this awkward lips-belt, I would even say that this could be easily be one of the best art of the set. It's really true that often less is more.

Damn it. Just make this a rare/mythic and with both keywords without any additional costs. Sorry but despite the nice art this won't make the cut in my Knight deck.

Re: [ELD] Vorthos'y cards (The Vorthos Cast)

So our Garruk isn't the biggest PW-hunter of the multiverse already? What a waste of character potential. The only guy we actually know he managed to kill seems was only that sore loser of Vronos.

Re: [ELD] House of Candy (Cozinha dos Tronos)

I tend to dislike, flavorfully, how they tend to put the basic land types on cards that has nothing to do with that concept. How is possible that a single House of Candy (which is also the most artificial thing possible), represent the whole forest, while the Karplusian Forest or Skyshroud Forest ar...

Re: Sword of Existence and Nothingness

Adding mana feels weird and like a lesser version of feast. Would you consider either casting a card or simply putting a permanent into play? That could work too, I choose "add [sym=w][sym=u][sym=b][sym=r][sym=g] " because is give the most strongly feeling of the "multicolor" ef...

An interesting card for sure. Also worth of note, while it protects from colorless and multicolor cards, it adds no protection for monocolored ones.

small note: you have to add "This effect doesn't remove Sword of Existence and Nothingness" to the protection ability, otherwise the protection from colorless will unattach the sword itself

I do wish there were a bit more incentive to use him in that way though - as-is, there isn't really a reason to target an opponent instead of yourself.
At screwing opponents combat's in multiplayer there's plenty of reasons to target their creatures instead of yours.
