You can grind out plenty of wins with control plus walkers.

Protecting Ojutai isn't too bad when you can vigilance it up or have Minamo, School at Water's Edge

So lands are sacred, we shouldn't kill or harm lands in any way (unless we do it ourselves for gain…)…what do you use to defend against lands decks? I think GY hate helps. Is Confounding Conundrum a good enough card to throw into any deck? With World Shaper specifically, you can use graveyard hate....

World Shaper and Splendid Reclamation are pretty good with fetchlands…or is it just that everything is good with fetchlands? The latter. Well, yeah. Too many people complain about RL and duals when fetchlands are actually the costly lands you need to have. When everything works right with World Sha...

Helluva ash tray there, I tell ya what. I read this in Hank Hill's voice for some reason, and now I can't stop imagining the whole device being powered by propane and propane accessories lol. That card ain't right. Tinker-able Future Sight + Yawgmoth's Bargain = straight to Vintage. I'm not sure it...

Anyway yeah I mean it's good. Tbh I usually run ugin over it, though.

I feel similarly.

So many times I've had All Is Dust in my shopping cart, but then I think about the Ugin I already have and take it out of the cart.

Getting reps in with the same deck versus the same opponents' decks is something that competitive players do to prepare for tournaments (ie play testing). It's not something that people who play casually are used to doing. It's engaging for a competitive player because it's growing their skill, but...

People these days have such ridiculously short deck attention spans that it feels like everyone I play against is in the process of learning to play their deck all the time. Lots of indecision, don't remember what's in there, don't realize their path to victory, etc. Part of me wonders if a lot of ...

So I got a game in against Esika, God of the Tree // The Prismatic Bridge superfriends, sadly a 1v1 because out third friend was coming after she got off work. Anyway, I got a solid start and landed an early Suppression Field to really mess up their day. Things were going well until Narset, Parter ...

This mentality is highly flawed. Effectively every single deck I own loses to Thassa's Oracle + Demonic Consultation with counterspell backup . I'm sure as hell not going to congratulate someone for beating me with a cEDH deck. If I sit down with my Chromium deck and you Ruination me. I'm just not ...

There are three ravnica blocks. I've been hoping to play Ravnica only EDH since the latest one came out. And allow for players to use 3 of same shocks as long as they use 3 different arts for their shocks :) Of course, I've never been able to convince anyone to try it out. But if someone with clout ...

Starfield is a different game plan for sure. But animating a Parallax Wave is nuts.

Personally, it would be good enough to convince me to run Plea for Guidance just to see it more often.

Seems like a waste to name anything other than creature. If you're naming instant, why not play something else that has shroud/indestructible that can protect itself? Protecting yourself from instants is also too low impact. Also, if you're going to get blown out by wog anyways, why not name creatur...

I don't see Kami as group hug, I see it as a draw a crapload of cards commander.

All the times I've seen blue Kami, this has also been the case and they always took advantage of the situation.

I've heard he's good with extra turns.

1.) If anything, your extra turn is only 33% as effective because you have more opponents to fight. Lol what a hot take. All cards are 1/3 as good in commander :rofl: (I hope it's obvious why this logic makes zero sense) btw wtf does Seedtime do vs extra turns? Unless it's nexus and they're casting...

At the end of the day, you just got to ask yourself if you want to play it. That's a good enough reason to play Disrupt to me. If I had that Pulp Fiction alter, I'd play it as often as possible. If you care more about winning as many games as possible, then no. It's not like your trying to qualify f...

I should add that I believe time warps should be banned for poor interaction with the multiplayer format for a variety of reasons: * They are 300% as good as they are in single player, where you are essentially causing 3 people to skip turns relative to you * They are monopolizing from a game time ...

This is going to be a very dumb discussion. The flagship card of EDH and emblematic of everything wrong with the banlist philosophy. The most controversial uncontroversial card in the format. A mono-green deck without Sol Ring or an Edric deck without Sol Ring can operate faster than decks with Sol...

Just give us the regular cards. All this alt art and alt frames is just a cash grab and a gimmick.

Printing cards straight into eternal formats is the cash grab.

Alternate Art and good-borders are not. They're what players actually want.

And crucible and loam and and and and. It's seriously half the format. Part of what I adore about ephara is she has a totally gy independent source of ca so I can just play around that stuff GY is half the format because being able to use your GY as a second hand/library is powerful...and people li...

I play Rishadan Port in Brago.

The u/w manabase is strong enough to accommodate it + one of the strongest anti-Brago cards is Maze of Ith.

The art and flavor text are tops.

Getting to slow Cradle, Nykthos, and Coffers is a bonus.

My experience in a Tuvasa list with Destiny Spinner is all extremely positive. I know you prefer to be proactive, and prefer card quantity to quality, but the fact that it stops counterspells is only a small piece of what the card does. First, it's a 2-mana enchantment, so it's drawing you cards fo...

I play Grasp of Fate and Act of Authority on the regular. Brago amps them up for sure.

You don't have to worry about them upsetting the table since you could choose nothing for Grasp for some opponents and Act of Authority is a may.

I still play Wrath. If you asked me why, I'd say it's just for the art and the nostalgia. That's enough for me. It's ok to just play what you want. And for a flavor play, it's not like it's drastically underpowered Honestly, I kinda want to play Doomskar too. I play a traditional control u/w deck an...

The only real question I have is would this be better than Tuvasa?

Tuvusa feels more Voltron-y to me than enchantress-y.

Drawing more cards > extra color + pump
