Would Necromantic Selection not feel out of place with a Gisa and Geralf theme deck?
What are the hard rules for this sort of thing? I'm thinking of not even running signets.
Colton Ross
Hard rules for a theme deck? I think you are trying to just find more things that are flavor based, I wouldn't gimp myself trying to make a theme deck though. I would try to find a balance of flavor and competitive.
Brody Morgan
I never noticed this until the other day when I was playing with my friends, but the art for Parallel Lives is a wolf face.
I have considered a few other cards to add but don't know if they would be worth it and if they are, where they would go. >Tanglewire >Horn of Greed >Burgeoning >Mana Web >Empty the Pits
Daniel Scott
I don't have much experience with Ezuri but there are a few cards I have seen people use. >Bloodspore Thrinx >Invisible Stalker >Kiora's Follower >Master Biomancer
I don't know what your meta is but I would recommend maybe a few more counterspells. I would also recommend a Worldy Tutor.
Blake Perry
How do I summon the Veeky Forums proxy guy to make a proxy for my general if it's not already in his imgur?
Josiah Nguyen
Nigga how do you miss the two wolv- >the moons are eyes the paw is a nose Oh neat.
Why don't you run this card Veeky Forums? It's so much fun.
Samuel White
X mana for 2*x p/t is too efficient
Asher Adams
But I do
Leo Mitchell
Making 2/2s en masse for 1 a pop is broken.
Logan Cooper
You know that Triskelion doesn't give you an XP counter when it enters, right?
Jason Myers
woops Ant Queen, not Elf Queen
James Cooper
That is not the purpose for him, his purpose is to get the counters and melt someone's face.
Michael Jackson

Tyler Cruz
Living Hive?
Christian Turner
What should I run in a Zurgo Bellstriker deck? I thought it might be fun.
Nathan Howard
Other dash stuff? Effects like Pandemonium?
That is of course if you aren't doing voltron.
Mason Rivera
I have none of the pieces of the Urza lands, and I'm on a really tight budget.
Lucas Harris
10 mana for 5 is pretty damn annoying user
Adam Hill
By Voltron he means equipment and enchantments to buff a single card.
In my opinion I would use equipment that equip on their own. >Hero's Blade >Stormrider Rig >Sai of the Shinobi >Obsidian Battle-Axe
To support these you would also want things like Masterwork of Ingenuity and if you use mroe uquipments Brass Squire.
You should also be looking at burst buffs. >Titan's Strength >Temur Battle Rage >Rush of Adrenaline >Brute Force >Fatal Frenzy >Downhill Charge >Reckless Charge
edhrec.com should help you get the general idea of what Zurgo commonly looks like for deck.
Isaiah Richardson
Alright, I'll do my research, then post my recipe for advice. Am using cards I own, no proxies, and am very budget limited right now.
Jace Rodriguez
Well if you own a Zurgo because you played that Standard then you could have a couple of the cards I mentioned. When you post people will probably will tell you what is straight up better so what I would do is take notes on those and make two lists, one of what you are currently running and another that is what you plan to run.
Just remember you should always be on the offensive, dash and swing repeatedly with Zurgo. Don't even worry about commander tax, just zone him everytime.
Owen White
Run Godo instead
Ryan Powell
Tfw you and a friend like the same commanders but he builds them before you.
Nathan Adams
Nah, I got mine from a friend who didn't know what he had. He also had a Xenegos the Reveler, but he wouldn't trade it. Made me salty
Dominic Taylor
ETB damage effects like pandemonium, impact tremors, purphuros, warstorm surge, rite of the raging storm and pic related are all fun although this would prolly work better in a Norin monored deck
Lucas Morris
I am building a deck around Xira Arien with the theme of costumes for her to wear because of her flavor text. I am looking for suggestions on stuff for her to wear. I want it to be casual too, so anything is welcome even if its crap.
Carter Roberts
Make her cosplay as Kaldra
Hudson Perez
Oh god this deck is going to be garbage. Haven't even started building yet, but looking at my card pool makes me cringe
Jonathan Perez
Well if you just look at some equipment from gatherer that is not a "weapon equipment".
If you wanna compare. I win fairly consistently with this setup and my meta isn't exactly casual
Adam Moore
Grave Pact and Dictate of Erebos are a good start
Nolan Davis
Take out blood bairn as it is hot garbage. If you want to have something better use nantuko husk or phyrexian ghoul. Also sidisi is a good addition
Austin Brown
>debut new deck >fucking annihilates everyone game 1 >instant game of archenemy game 2 >they still lose Oh God I bet this is what being a supervillain would feel like
Lucas Morgan
Why do you have to lie user?
Ryder Ward
I feel like more like Jackie Chan.
Samuel Price
Look at the budget upgraded precon list on mtggoldfish.
RW people, how do you not fucking choke? I'm aware I can't compete with GU in card advantage, but at least I should be capable of not choking every single time, right?
Nathaniel Brown
Looking for advice on this group hug deck im building.
The main idea is giving everyone in play card draw, mana and free tutor effects while stopping people from killing you.
Eh. I win if people forget I am there. You have removal and Mind's Eye goes a long away.
Eli Miller
minds eye sword of fire and ice rogue's gloves mask of memory land tax + scroll rack mentor of the meek infiltration lens puresteel palidin kor spiritdancer mesa enchantress
Jack Peterson
oh god, I forgot the most important: SKULLCLAMP
Brandon Wood
Mask of Avacyn is a. Dope equipment b. Kawii as hell
Cooper Morgan
Plus equipment tutors. You should be running other good equipment too, but tutor for Skullclamp is good most of the time.
Gavin Allen
Build a different deck. Group hug always ends up with some deck riding the acceleration to an early combo kill. Your prison effects will definitely not be enough to stop any properly built deck from utilizing the free mana/cards and comboing out. I have learned this from experience.
Thomas Ortiz
>Group hug No
Build stax but disguise it as group hug. Phelddagrif is perfect for this
Matthew Jenkins
examples?
this sounds pretty fun actually.
Connor Watson

Nathaniel Rodriguez
Also fuck angels they are pussies, use Brion Stoutarm He will throw a motherfucker at another motherfucker
Landon Baker
Speaking of LD, how much do you guys run?
Eli Barnes
I use Natural Affinity
Jacob Lewis
Spells and creatures that have LD approximately 55 cards, pretty much from t3 onward someone is losing a land every turn the rest of the deck is land and boardwipes
William Kelly
Which one do you prefer as the actual Commander?
Matthew Anderson
Overlord is the only choice
Kayden Foster
Too much, probably. Godo likes him LD to get the win
Matthew Ramirez
Personally I prefer Sliver Legion for 100% bananas aggro, but Overlord is the best choice.
Henry Stewart
Overlord, combined with creature type changing / adding shenanigans for stealing all the things.
Andrew Hill
Very little. My playgroup is a salt mine and nobody gets angrier than the guy who's been stuck at 2 lands and gets caught in a Smallpox.
Leo Thomas
He sounds like a faggot.
Caleb Bennett
Alright, /edh/.
Think of your favorite deck, the one you'd save from a fire if you could only save one.
What kind of planeswalker is the one who uses those spells?
i don't have a bunch of experience in edh, can anyone better than me give me some advice to improve it without increasing the cost too much?
Jacob Perez
"Underrated cards that no one but you play". I'll start.
Landon Thompson
They are creature cards in you grave, not creatures. Just like whenever a card says "whenever a permanent..." it only applies to the cards that are on the battlefield. That means Heartstone doesn't help with the Unearth cost. I know I'm tardy to the party but whatever.
Jace Baker
I new a Slivers player who swore by it.
Cooper Fisher
combos very easily with any kind of protection you use on your deck. Perfect with Akroma memorial.
Cooper Smith
user...
Lincoln Gray
This is another good one that i never saw anyone else use. Literally the only guy with that ability.
Caleb Campbell
Or with Iona for that extra fuck you.
Alexander Cruz
It's weird how i don't see many people use it in commander.
Jaxson Wood
Would this guy be fun as a commander? What would the wincon be?
Joseph Smith
>The following cards are banned from the format: >Painter's Servant
Michael Hall
>keep planning out and sometimes buying new decks instead of improving on the ones I have FUCK
HELP
Zachary Harris
I hope this is bait.
Luke Martinez
Hivelord because if you're not running slivers, at least your commander is a 5/5 indestructible
Brandon King
Sedris give creatures in your gy the unearth ability By your definition if i cast collected company i cant choose any creature cards from the top of my library because they are not creatures yet?
TL/DR unearth is a creature ability that is reduced by 1 generic by heartstone regardless if they are in the graveyard or not
Nathaniel Campbell
1) Painter's Servant is banned in EDH, as said. Because of Iona. 2) Iona is generally considered a dick move.
Jace Powell
I had one. It's not bad, but... the deck does more than him. Using 5 colors is Very good, you will always have something good to do that is better than casting him. Normally i would only cast late-game. He still have some impact tough enchanted/equiped with good stuff.
Kevin Scott
>Progenitus >Five Heads delet this
Jason Morgan
I want that alter DESU. I'd make it a foil proxy commander. Run a ton of dragons or dragon art proxies to keep the theme of Tiamat fucking over everyone and laughing.
Grayson Jackson
weird, didn't remember him being banned.
James Long
Ayyy lmao nice graveard broseph
Bentley Jones
>Gaea's Cradle, Serra's Sanctum and City of Traitors all bought out overnight >on top of other recent buyouts The fuck is happening
Logan Morales
>By your definition if i cast collected company i cant choose any creature cards from the top of my library because they are not creatures yet?
Sedris gives "Creature cards" in your graveyard Unearth. Collected Company says "Creature cards" also, user. If it's not on the battlefield, it is not a creature, it's a creature card.
Heartstone only affects the abilities of creatures, not the abilities of creature cards. It will not reduce Unearth costs, Cycling costs, Scavenge costs or any other ability of a creature card that is not on the battlefield.
Xavier Lewis
This card right here. There is just not many responses against it. Won the game dozens of times with this holding my opponent. I mean.. protection? indestructible? hexproof? whatever, just tap everything.
Nathan Martin
Check the comp rules.
>Creature >A card type. A creature is a permanent. See rule 302, “Creatures.”
