I don't really want a whole swath of cards added to the banlist. Invoke Rule 0 if this is a recurring problem for you, but I don't see cheap tutors as a real problem. I do wonder how people can enjoy games/decks in which they just tutor for their combo pieces over and over. That sounds like a drag.

Let's all just end this thread by taking a page from Legend's playbook: [mention]Legend[/mention], all of your points have been soundly negated and there is no need to pursue this any further. Wishes are rightfully never coming to Commander unless a group invokes Rule 0 amongst themselves. They won'...

I've been running a Kemba, Kha Regent deck since I got back into MtG ~8 years ago. Mono-white needs to lean on artifacts and maybe a tiny bit of stax, but it has so many great answers that I've never felt behind the 8 ball. I really like Tithe, and Endless Horizons is pretty neat.

Holy moly! What a thread. I'd have commented earlier, but I was on vacation with an internet connection worse than dial-up. Anyway, this thread has clearly become it's own special kind of rabbit hole, so I'll keep it brief: [mention]pokken[/mention] pretty much nailed it in his previous post. The ar...

But the real coolness is Sidisi, Undead Vizier . Choose to exploit a single creature, tutor twice. Exploit two creatures, tutor four times! For my first draft, Bellower is a may, but Sidisi feels like an auto-include. Unfortunately, you will only be able to tutor once per sacrifice. Yarok only doub...

I'm all for introducing variants of Commander, like this Monarch version, that don't require me to alter my deck's construction. I am against, however, any of these proposed changes to the format as a whole.

Like many, I've created an account to tell my thoughts on this subject. In my opinion, having my voice heard has nothing to do with the sour taste that recent events left in my mouth, the way I see it the problem are the incoherent sayings for both the RC and the CAG. Yesterday for example Shivam s...

Ok. I've been brainstorming some more. Lemme start with Woodland Bellower . Looking at your build, there aren't a whole lot of targets, but look at what we've got; Bellower triggers twice, finds maybe Eternal Witness and Reclamation Sage , doubling both of their triggers. Could be fun. But the real ...

I've got one of these. Mileage may vary depending on the preferences of your opponents, and you may not want to play it in consecutive games too often, but here goes: Shared Fate Fatespinner Illicit Auction Starke of Rath Humble Defector Disrupt Decorum Mass Hysteria Scrambleverse Confusion in the R...

I'm currently brewing something with Yarok, and I was just going through some random cards to find something randomly good. I think I may have. Thoughts on Demon of Dark Schemes ? At first glance, including any card dealing with energy struck me as clunky, but I think there would often be board stat...

Oh man...what a tease. I thought this post had the info. I am sad.

Side note, folks: Eldraine is Spanish for "the drain." Plumbing world confirmed!

Based only on this scant tease, I am not pumped. Having said that, I've never truly hated a setting, so this may just be a setting that isn't for me. I have no reservation about the cards themselves though.

Posting news to /r/EDH is a fine idea, but beyond that, I doubt if there's much to be gained by directly engaging the community there. Even by Reddit (and, what's more, by MtG Reddit) standards it's thoroughly toxic and very, very Spikey. Casual players' voices get drowned out very consistently on ...

I haven't bought any of these for a few years because they've gotten more expensive and somehow less valuable. Many people seem to be expecting some kind of wild value spike with high-dollar reprints. I don't think that's gonna happen. We're setting ourselves up for disappointment there. My only rea...

One of the simplest joys of Magic is turning big fat creatures sideways. I hadn't embraced my raw, unfiltered Timmy side for many years. Then came the Core Set 2019 pre-release. I opened my sealed pool, and there she was, my promo: Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma She's beautiful, isn't she? She got my...

I suppose I only have one real request: please provide an up-to-date, easy-to-access rationale for each card on the banlist. I don't see how this lands on anything but a nit-pick-fest about whats banned, why its banned, and why X that 'clearly meets those requirements' isn't banned. Fair point. I w...

[mention]Sheldon[/mention] For what it's worth, I think the RC is doing the best they can despite the inherent limitations of four (five?) people managing a format played by thousands. I suppose I only have one real request: please provide an up-to-date, easy-to-access rationale for each card on the...

Flash is very popular in cEDH, and generally never used in normal EDH. I play it in Lord of Tresserhorn . The deck revolves around creatures' death triggers. The coolest play thus far has been using Flash put out and sac Keiga, the Tide Star , and stealing a Blightsteel Colossus that was heading st...

Flash I honestly can't think of a single fair use for the card. And it shouldn't be that hard to hear the cEDH crowd, look at EDHRec, see how often the card is played in non-cEDH situations and come to a pretty good conclusion to whether or not the ban would affect the "core demographic" ...

I think I've only done this once, and it was Gisa and Geralf for Grimgrin, Corpse-Born. Grimgrin's still in the deck, though.

It's not ok for Sheldon to have had the experience of a death threat over the weekend, and I certainly hope it never happens again to him, or anyone else in our community. Holy smokes! He got a death threat?! I definitely missed that. That's positively insane. What does it say about our community w...

I've been saying this for years, but it bears repeating: The format has outgrown the RC's ability to manage it. They do the best they can, but this CAG doesn't feel too consequential, and they have no data to go on. They have to make sense of thousands of players' opinions, and I'm sure it dissolves...

I managed to sneak in this morning before my LGS opened. Traded Paradox Engine for $42 store credit before the price plummets. I feel a bit stink about it, but there's also stuff I want, so... Are we supposed to support you on this? Sure, it behooves an LGS to keep up with this kind of thing, but i...

Oh, I see. Gotcha. I had no idea.
