MTG EDH/COMMANDER GENERAL

LOVED IT when I had it out, despised it when anyone else did.

Darksteel/Blinkmoth = originals
Blightsteel/Inkmoth = infected with alien jizz

What's the backstory on this

Any suggestions?

Memnarch is a pet card of mine, since I started MtG in Mirrodin. But I already have a Daretti deck. Do I try and just make a 'different' artifact deck with Memnarch at the head or find some other way to run him?

Youtube drama, wizards comfirmed sjws

Zuran Orb is a good include.

Also try to run a degenerate land destruction package; crucible, strip mine, wasteland, etc. Everybody loves that.

Who was involved?

Ouch. Doing this

Wait for kaladesh and the UR artificer legendary then finally make an izzet artifacts deck

I didn't realise just how much I liked red until I made this, I always thought black was my favourite colour.

Heh. Is there actually one coming or are we just hoping against hope?

Not sure I'd want to get too excited anyway, given what resulted from the wait for a legendary werewolf.

>giving the Kaalia player 3 extra combats with Illusionist's Gambit/Fork and having him kill the table
>Table gets super mad, accuse me of kingmaking
>Kaalia player acting all smug thinking I handed him the game
>Blow him out with a gorillion damage Banefire on my turn

SCIENCE

That seems like a lot of effort to just get a mana doubler.

Tell me about your Rakdos the Defiler deck. How does it work?

Also, behold a really shitty picture of my decks. Can't wait for those 4 colours.

i cant wait to get a copy of berzerk for my commander deck, turning a swing from an opponent into into unexpected lethal+killing there commander.

Badly. It's just mana ramp, cards like Reassembling Skeleton and Nether Traitor sacrificing repeatedly to their demonic overlords, then a lot of demons and Blood Speaker for the one bit of tribal synergy available. It flies under the radar for a while but then when Rakdos starts hitting people or a scary demon like Sire of Insanity comes out I get targeted and die horribly.

You need an Assault Suit in there to put on the RakDaddy

can someone tell my why the newer rakdos doesn't see ANY play in commander? it seems like a decent card

Someone post that picture with all the pingers

>Oloro
You fucking gentleman and scholar

I never thought about that, that's brutal.

wouldn't normal combat be good enough to summon him, so you don't have to play shitty pingers.

What do you think of my control deck? Normally play it a little cuter, but I'm angling at blowing out combo decks.

Must suck being poor

Bonus points for using the new "Goad" mechanic or anything else that forces creatures to attack (Goblin Diplomats and Grand Melee comes to mind)

Also, would MLD work well? They'd have to start saccing creatures and you'd have a ton of demons left.

Gotta fight fire with fire my dude.

It gets you around decks you can't punch through (token decks, green beasties decks) and is more reliable once an enemy board state is present.
Personally, I just throw a couple in to guarantee that I cast him especially T3/4.

is there any reason to run command tower in a monocolored deck?

EDH Staples . dec

Y tho

Your opponents like to run cards like Boil?

People do play Lord of Riots, me for one. He is not actually as shitty as everyone says, just most people who play him are turbocasuals who are shit at deckbuilding.
Here's my list tappedout.net/mtg-decks/04-05-15-rakdos-edh/

I am super excited for this. Easily the best red legend I have seen in a long time. I want to goad and pillage all day long.

Not really. Unless your opponent is running Wake of Destruction or specific hate cards, I don't see why would you use anything else but basics and few utility lands. In monocolour, Command Tower is straight up downgrade from basic.

You have the best next thing.

The current errata on this is "...sacrifice the creature"

>tfw you will never own a Mishra's Workshop
brb killing self

One thing I've always wondered, I use mtgtop8 and my own judgment from there to suss out decklists but why don't blue stax decks play this card based on lists from there? Not enough creature base to punish?

this hurts me, my reaper king artifact deck needs one

the top8 page only collects from 1v1 commander games.

It's much harder to stax someone out in 1v1

>Made a Mishra deck online and love it to death
>Decide to start building in in paper
>Mfw Nether Void, Mishra's Workshop and the duals/fetches

Stax is still a strong and popular strategy in 1v1 and literally none of the decks play it.

Who /Boros/ here?

Will you build a deck for justice?

Maybe if there were some not shit Boros commanders. Or alternatively, some explicitly equipment based Boros commander would appeal to me.

lol

Boros was a mistake

You nerds can flounder in propaganda and pay your taxes while the real law enforcement gets to work

Enjoy not drawing any cards

Melee seems strong

Does it?

jor kadeen?

This is why

>giving a few of your creatures +3/+3 at most
ehhhhhh

My nigger

Shut up Sawatari, go play Yosenjus

>it looks like Jor has a small Phyrexian tattoo
kek

not an edh scientist but

>shitty colors, no ramp for fatties, no enchantment removal, no blue degeneracy
>you have to fill your deck with shitty pingers
or
>you have to play your deck without your commander until you already establish a board state and manage to get some damage in, which is quite a lot to ask considering the commander isn't all that great anyway
>your entire gameplan revolves around hoping really hard that no one wipes the board the first time you dump your hand on the table

basically if you want to have fun with fatties, maelstorm wanderer, xenagos etc. are typically just better. i think rakdos is fun but it's very janky and casual

-----

on the topic of xenagos, do you guys try to play him with a tempo style of putting down fatties and answering to threats (players or permanents) or do you try to win the game by stalling and tutoring and killing everyone in 1 turn?

i've been doing the first, but it doesn't seem that great for winning, just good at making specific players not win. it seems like it would be more effective to try to assemble some sort of a weapon of mass destruction out of a fatty, a pump/burn spells and xenagos (see: pic). but then i don't know if that would be as fun (for me or the other players for that matter)

i don't mind losing with xenagos at all though, it's a very fun deck to play even when losing

There are people in THIS thread, RIGHT now who play multiplayer edh

In colors that shit out tokens like last nights vindaloo those 1/1 freebies can get out of hand when they are all suddenly 4/4

Not busted, but I think it has potential for wide strategies. I'm probably going to put together a token/equipment deck for her.
All your creatures, which is why you go weenie with her. Boros' biggest problem after lacking card draw is that it doesn't have Overrun. Vigilance, First Strike and multiple combat phases should make up for no trample, and she gives the p/t buff that weenies need.

She's by no means a game changer, but she does seem to do exactly what you want to do with Boros.

There are people in THIS thread, RIGHT now who can't handle the bantz of multiplayer EDH

Yeah, the +3/+3 was never the game-changing part of Overrun.

There are people in this thread who dont play both multiplayer or duel commander.

There are people in THIS thread, RIGHT now who lack the friends to play multiplayer edh.

>Not shit Boros commander

Who is Tajic
Who is Brion
Who is Aurelia

>Equipment based would appeal to me
Jor Kadeen user, there you go.

There are people in THIS thread, RIGHT now who have no friends to play MTG with.

melee with battalion creatures might be fun

There are, at this very moment, quite certainly, right now, PEOPLE, in this thread

Anyone else cooking up some spicy brews for the new elf waifu? I'm pretty stoked since I can pretty much put my Yeva deck back together without getting bitched at by my group

I have. I've had pic related for years now and I also had Jor Kadeen token deck for a while. Nothing more fun than to steal a creature and let Brion return it.

put her in the 99 of omnath

I don't really like her as a Commander, but I really like her as one of the 99 in any creature-heavy build.

List?

Yes, definitely. Also old Odric.
>both RW Archetypes can be grabbed by Sun Titan
Dang, I really wasn't expecting to be excited about brewing Boros

Been playing Xenagos for a while now, nearly two years, and I've found a tempo/midrange list works out well with enough removal to get rid of problem permanents like Humility. It's a slow deck, something I'm looking to fix in the coming months, but it works well at dropping fatty after fatty to wear down the removal and beat down face. Vorapede is a very hard worker in the deck because it feeds to Birthing Pod and survives board wipes and removal well, only growing bigger.

This is my decklist, for the most part it's up to date, but I'm going to be revamping it soon enough

Is that force foil?

I'm not seeing a force, but that is a terrible quality photo

Has your playgroup ever caused anyone to develop instant autism? Hes a regular and hes never been like that before, i kinda feel bad now

But that's wrong

>>"hah! Everyones lands are now 1/1 and cany produce mana so you cant even attack me"

What exactly is stopping them from tapping for mana? Ghostly Prison doesn't stop activated abilities.

Yes

I hope there was recursion or spot removal in there, because there is no way in fuck you're running 17 board wipes.
