Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
Can anyone tell me why Unwinding Clock is now a $30 card? I went to go and try and order it and was taken aback at how ridiculous the price has gotten.

Re: CommandFest Richmond! Who's coming?
Lol. I approve of this. I'll be splitting my time between cEDH tables and casual tables, but if anyone here comes down to play, you can expect to see: My Vorthos Yawgmoth deck - I expect this to be my primary casual deck, but for the tables where I'm feeling pretty salty or nostalgic, I'll be bringi...

Re: Memnarch, Stealer of Games
So, since I'm going to CommandFest in Richmond at the beginning of June, I went back to visit this Primer and realize how outdated it is. Good Lord, I've been remiss in keeping this maintained. Gotta fix that. Anyways, I'll start with a quick set review for Return to Kamigawa and New Capenna. Kamiga...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Mana Crypt
I acquired two copies of it and I rotate them between my various cEDH decks. It's massively unfair against non-cEDH decks though. Watching myself accelerate far ahead of my opponents by T2 (if it's in my opener) is a fast way to win... BUT it also gets me all the attention. And not in a good way. Hu...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
MTGSal was a site that I loved and engaged in with for so long. It was literally a safe haven for me during my major addiction recovery process. Engaging with the Commander forums was intriguing and enlightenening. The drama I saw in the history as a newly minted mod (such a privilege!) was some of ...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Mishra's Workshop
When I was able to squeeze a game with Osgir (a long time ago), it turns out that Workshop-ing into a Trinisphere is still really good. The fact that I did this at a cEDH-adjacent table was *chef's kiss*. I think it was T5 before any other player except me actually played a spell. So good. Otherwise...

Re: CommandFest Richmond! Who's coming?
I need to work through the logistics of it with my wife, but I'm SUPER committed to trying to go @RxPhantom. Can't wait to throw down my Yawgmoth Vorthos deck and... dare I say it... crack open my Memnarch deck box for some air too.

Oh, a weekend of Commander? At a location that's actually travel-able? With the chance to meet some Nexus peeps?

I'm going to do my damndest to get there.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Yawgmoth, Thran Physician
A selection from Canto VII of the Phyrexian Scriptures: 5. Yea, and when WOTC revealed unto the people their version of Yawgmoth, there was much rejoicing in the land. For it was clear that the heavens smiled upon the compleated EDH players of the world and brought them great tidings of joy on top o...

Re: Making Enrage viable: a Jeska/Thrasios burn list
This looks like a pretty interesting decklist. Did Torbran, Thane of Red Fell not have enough power to make the cut? Seems quite good with Jeska in the Command Zone.

Re: Dockside Extortionist
It and Underworld Breach are the two primary reasons that any cEDH deck is splashing red nowadays. If you were to look at the cEDH color distribution on Moxfield lists, I'd bet that the red color distribution was less than 5% (totally subjective, but it feels right) across most lists that have R in ...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist
The flavor butchery of this card is one of the pinnacles of WOTC creative failure imo. It's like they had this card designed except for a legendary character and they did legendary character roulette. There isn't a SINGLE reference to Zombies, necromancy, or anything at ALL related to what Ludevic d...

Re: Praetors
I think Tamiyo's compleation is the beginning of a new story arc which will see these compleated walkers become the Legion of Doom to the Gatewatch's Justice League. I'm just spitballing here, but I think Nissa, Sarkhan, Basri, Teyo, and Kaito are good bets to get oiled up. I think it would be cool...

Re: Praetors
If that's true, that could create some interesting conflict within New Phyrexia itself! The dynamic between the Praetors is super fascinating and I look forward to see what happens as Elesh Norn attempts to unify all of Phyrexia. Attempts at hegemony are always interesting plot twists!

Didnt Elesh Norn kill Sheoldred? Did I get this wrong? Elspeth had gotten word that Elseth had taken over Sheoldreds and Urabrasks domains but even said that she wasn't fully sure if that info was accurate. Nothing about Elseth Norn killing the other two thats more fan thought. With Tamiyo now comp...

Re: Praetors
As it currently stands, you're correct duducrash . But, my faith in WOTC's storytelling is irreparably shattered and anything is possible, including dead characters magically not being dead. So far as I'm aware, Sheoldred and her forces were decimated by Elesh Norn offscreen, so I have no idea how &...

Re: the negative connotation of the term cEDH
cEDH players, who truly follow cEDH principles of equitable, socially acceptable, fun games with optimized strategies and decklists, are part of a different crowd. For me, I say we should follow the advice of T Swift when it comes to dealing with the negative connotation: "haters 'gonna hate, h...
