EDH/Commander General

Blade of Selves is actually a good card for EDH.

Not really. Atheros is pretty good and let's oh run less apostles because of his hand recursion

Yeah but most of my decks depend on the commander, so I've have to change it up to add that.

Blade is great with commander-centric decks, assuming it's the right one. Shit gets exponential with any ETB general.

Thinking on building Pillow Fort Cromat because my group doesn't like my aggressive decks.

Vampiric Rites
Westvale Abbey
Warping Wail
Matter Reshaper
Endbringer

Sifter of Skulls maybe
Asylum Visitor maybe
Skeleton Key maybe

If you're playing white:
Bygone Bishop
Open the Armory for your 'clamp
Eerie Interlude maybe
Hanweir Militia Captain maybe
Ayli maybe

>Skeleton Key maybe
Whoops, meant to remove that. Mask of Memory looks ten times better and I'd still hesitate to run either.

I started running Pious Evangel // Wayward Disciple for another Blood Artist effect

Skeleton Key is useful in specific places (where you want the Skulk, like Vela ninja tribal, which has both magpies and wants to be unblocked all the time). Mask is actually really pretty decent in anything with a decent amount of equipment. Mono-white really likes Mask of Memory, since it provides draw, filtering, and white is a great equipment color.

> want to play gheist for tiny/ Edh
> reading different builds and most build him voltron
> want to go Aggro with some co trol
Is ghiest only good if you wanna go voltron or can Aggro be decent also?

Rafiq pls go

This pain in the ass legend is the commander most likely to kill you from commander damage:

While that may be true, Satan, the original poster was talking about a Shadowborn Apostle deck. He should have many better CA options than the key or mask, like the clamp. And that's just equipment.

Kaseto?

>group gets so mad about my Voltron decks that they tell me I have to play with a creature-heavy deck next time

Play Soulbond Voltron and wreck them anyway

Exalted is creature heavy.

Rafiq is the only Exalted commander worth a damn, right?

I sort of do this with Skullbriar

I also think him coming out T1 led to a few cases of the feel-bads

Yep. He gets you all the best Exalted Colors and sweet sweet doublestrike exalted commander dammage. Make him unblockable, win the game.

Hey friends, could you please give this deck a look over and tell me if there's shit I need to tune? Thanks babes.

How'd you manage to get him out turn one?

>tappedout.net/mtg-decks/03-06-16-feldon-edh/
Hmmm I have mixed feelings about this deck.

Have you used it? What do you like and dislike about it in general? I can see a couple of very effective strategies, but it seems pretty janky tbqh.

Look, in a busy man, lots of Rafiq players to torture for all time, I can't be bothered to notice shit like that.

(Sorry apostleanon, didn't notice)

Now there's stone haven outfitter and bygone bishop to add to white's options of conditional draw.

Guys, I need some advice on my Sidisi deck.

I like the theme of tutoring on what play style I would be doing on the game, from either super casual - Tutoring Erebos then go from there or tutoring Doomsday for a janky wincon.

The part where I need the advice is, what card from my list to make my Doomsday wincon more viable or even competitive?

>tappedout.net/mtg-decks/danse-macabre-4/
Why aren't you running mike's trike? Doomsday mike's trike and you win the game if your opponent can't answer it.

While I ironically added Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond on this deck as one of the possible Doomsday combination, I initially ran this deck as the meme MikeTrike EDH deck at first.

I was pulling wins out of nowhere to the point that even I thought it was too cheap and removed Triskelion out completely and changed the deck itself.

Well, from what I've seen, skullclamp has done the most work

Hey Feldon guy from the last thread, can you post your custom playmat?

Ah shit user, Feldon is my husbando.

I'll give some suggestions on your tappedout.

That is my custom playmat, because I have no talent. I tried just inputting the basic Feldon image, but it's dimensions are wrong for playmats, and it was cutting off sweet parts of the art. So I added black boxes and some text, which involved a 2 hour odyssey because I am nearly computer illiterate and have essentially no experience with digital art and editing. I started on paint, and when that failed I downloaded gimp and flailed at it for over an hour until I got that.

It actually looks really nice on the playmat, though. The simple black bars work nicely on th mat because the scene is already framed by some darker areas.

For further demonstration of my child-like ability to use art software, here is the image of my meta.

Your artskills could be far worse, but next time just use a bigger font.

>Could finish another EDH deck
>Or I could get more pieces for a legacy deck
Truly a painful decision.

I couldn't figure out how to make the text bigger in paint.

...

_____________fuck________

There's a charm to it, imo.

I'm doing a rework of Call the Spirits and I need your help to find the most retarded cards to put into it.

>blow out all the creatures a couple times so the sliver player doesn't just explode and win
>one of those times the other players had a handful of creatures they liked out
>they all gang up on me because I exiled the things they liked
>then the sliver player bowls them over

Ethereal armor is an auto-include in every enchantment deck.
I like stuff like Brilliant Halo and Fallen Ideal in the deck, since they bounce to your hand.
Ghostly Prison, Greater Auramancy are standard includes and maybe the Constellation -1/-1 giant.

Is there any chance you have another one?
Because that link is 404.

Thanks, user, will look into those.

Is it Kaseto? For most of my friends, it's Kaseto.

I've heard that myself.

Land-Sol Ring-Mana Vault-Golgari Signet

>Enchanting myself with Paradox Haze

Sorry hombre

What card is missing?

Artifacts.
I've also done some neat tricks with oblation on my own stuff

Sphinx Ambassador.
It's a crucial part of my new Sphinx's Game Show deck.

>Sphinx's Game Show
This I need to see

Promise of Bunrei.

This is the main tech of the deck. The rest is decent flyers to tutor for, like Avacyn. It's a pretty casual deck right now. Just need to find more potent and spicy tech for it as time goes on.

While I see why you are running reveal hand effects, I think you should just add more bouncers.
You will know their hand after first Esperia trigger anyways.

That looks fun

Master of Predicaments nonbos hard with Wandering Eye, there's nothing else like Telepathy on UW?

Add wheels like timespiral and days undoing. If you dont like your opponents hand you can say fuck it to the game so far and start over without that bullshit in their hand.

Damnation is literally never getting a reprint, is it?

There's Glasses of Urza, which is only target player, but it's still good. I'm probably going to replace Wandering Eye with Jace's Archivist so I can be like "That's a pretty sweet hand you have there. Too nice in fact."

Wait for MM3 :^)

A lot of work & mana for a conditional tutor, but seems fun.

I'd run this as a Azorius Control/Toolbox with as many utility flying creatures I could find.

Things like Nevermore, Declaration of Naught, Meddling Mage will be great in this. Voidstone Gargoyle will be all time MVP.

I'd keep wandering eye, but cut the rest

Nope! Can't upset those investors!

I want to make a Splice Onto Arcane EDH deck.
How impossible is my task?

Not that much, there are enough UR splice cards you can put on a Mizzix deck so the costs aren't exorbitant and Petals of Insight helps a lot in the deck.

>tfw gonna play EDH and drink beer with friends tomorrow

Anyone at all?

>tfw moved to Nashville two months ago and haven't found a new group yet
Socializing is hard, why can't my roommates pick up the game like last time TT_TT

Sounds difficult, but make sure to go infinite with Izzet Guildmage, Desperate Ritual, and Psychic Puppetry

>Building Sen Triplets
>Sacrifice, Planeswalker / "on-board" control focus
>Win cons include Sanguine/Exquisite combo, Exsanguinate/DttD for game, otherwise token swarm or flyer beatdown.

It plays pretty fun, and it doesn't catch much heat early so you can quietly piece together combos.

Falters when somebody fucks with the mana base though.

Anyone got any recommendations?

>getting mad about voltron
why? It's so bad.

...

Because they got the shit kicked out of them. Both decks got the nut draw and they couldn't keep up

Sorry for the slightly off topic question, my group has been convinced that sanguine/exquisite combo results in a tie , not a win, because something about the combo never coming to a stop? Or it going on forever because you can't choose to stop it? Is there any truth to that ?

But you don't cast the copies, isn't splice a cast trigger?

It can stop, It has to target an opponent and therefore if there are no opponents the ability becomes countered on the stack. A player losing the game does not use the stack obviously and is instantaneous as they reach 0 life.

104.3b If a player’s life total is 0 or less, he or she loses the game the next time a player would receive priority. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704.)

As soon as the player can react to a sanguine/blood proc (ie it being on the stack) and they are at 0 or lower life they lose, in older editions it checked life totals at the end of phase, perhaps this is what they were thinking

Nothing in that combo gives a shit if you cast it.

You cast the Ritual with psychic puppetry's "You may tap or untap target permanent." spliced onto it. So the ritual reads "Gain 3 red mana, untap or tap target permanent". Now you copy that spell with the guildmage. So for 3 mana you get another one. Now when the copy resolves, you get your three mana returned to you, but you can also untap a land, netting you +1 mana. Now copy again. Rinse and repeat.

Ooh, thanks guys

It does stop, since state based actions are checked in between both the triggers. It's not technically infinite combo, since it ends when only one player is alive.
Anyway, it's like this, opponent loses life, Exquisite Blood notices "oh shit time to gain some life" and after the life is gained, Sanquine Bond triggers, and life loss triggers. Life loss triggers the life gain and so on. State based actions are checked in between the triggers, and that means players die.
>tl;dr your playgroup doesn't know how to read. If it would end in tie, how would the combopieces' triggers work?

Posting just so I can get it to stop autoadding a damn name to my posts. Keep forgetting.

Oh, right. Didn't even think of it that way. I might be retarded, sorry.

Meh, we can all miss little things, no worries.

You're missing the card draw pump sphinx

Any decent Bu commanders that are NOT mill focused?

>want to make Tsabo Tavoc horror tribal

Viable?

Sygg river cutthroat

Dralnu, Sygg, Vela, Dragonlord Silumgar, Grimgrin, Regular Silumgar, and Oona(if you play combo instead of mill)

It's that number 10, change that to change the font size ya dingus.

What's the most niche counterspell or removal spell? Is it Nix?

I have many edh decks, like 20.

Inb4 these lists I bring today aren't your typical decks but doesn't mean they suck.

Im quite fond of my Vanilla generals. My decklists were inspired by:

An exciting pauper Sivitri deck which you can check here:
youtube.com/watch?v=8Ffd6px5jOg

Jasmine Boral by topandgoproductios: youtube.com/watch?v=Dgdk_Xa3m-o

Topandgoproductions video on Jasmine inspired me to build a deck which told a story around a general. I chose The Lady of the Mountain, the deck is on WIP, you can check its development here: My most recent wip deck:
mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/685236-the-lady-of-the-mountain

Be sure to leave ideas if you have them!
