please sheldon don't ban Selvala 2.0 i don't have lots of ways to tutor Umbral Mantle/Sword of the Paruns in mono-green anyways
Owen Gray
>Connect knowing what's in their hand >Tutor up Drift of Phantasms >Transmute into any 3 mana spell in your deck COMBO O M B O
Ethan Green
Holy shit I had no idea this existed
Adam Harris
Both on the field at same time for some
HOT O T
SPICE P I C E
William Flores
no sheldon i swear dont kill me i have the spirit of edh in mind please god
Joseph Taylor
How do I build a good R/B deck? Is the main problem that Grixis/Jund are much better? I keep getting all these neat ideas, but when I try to mash them together, it just fucks up everywhere.
Dominic Bailey
Grenzo doomsday
Colton Roberts
I just want that card for my frog. Should be fun to see others struggle with their mana base.
Matthew Nelson
Fuuuuuck I have a Tainted Aether and Spreading Plague which I included in a stax-y deck way back in the day but I can't include them without everyone hating me off the field
Also Tainted Aether gives options which kinda sucks
Jaxson Stewart
The ride never ends
Jason Evans
I did that once!
It was a Kuon, Ogre Ascendant deck
And the stack got so convoluted that I dismantled it after playing it 5 or 6 times
Parker Edwards
>Why do people hate Leovold so much
Levi Sanchez
Alright, after last night's fuckfest, I'm turning Zirilan into Feldon. What kind of hotness works well with him, outside the obvious wheel effects and looting?
Jonathan Bennett
this too
Christopher King
What's the best defense against Elesh Norn in a Mono-Red Zada/Krenko deck?
Kevin Price
Kill them before they get to 7 mana.
Jason Ward
Artifacts. Steel Hellkite, Predator Flagship, and probably a few more I can't remember right now because I've been drinking
Carter Jenkins
Wait sorry I read Elesh Norn as Iona for some strange reason
Uhhh how about you focus on ETB effects like Impact Tremors and forget about whether your shit lives or dies. You have removal spells, right?
Nicholas Bailey
Giving your team +2/+2
Jaxon Stewart
Don't let it hit the field. If it does hit the field, you need something big to get rid of it.
Blasphemous Act is pretty good, but it will totally fuck up your goblins.
You could get fancy and run Outpost Siege picking the second option, though I'm not sure why you'd prefer that over the first option.
Cinder cloud isn't bad.
Goblin Grenadiers fits your tribal pretty well.
And that's all I could find really.
Mason Barnes
This card is my wincon.
I never actually win, so it's purely theoretical.
Austin Kelly
>Meddling Mage and Nevermore on Leovold regardless if he or the color-combination is even present on the table or not
I haven't even played against him but i can already see the cheeky grin of the bastard casting him and wheeling away...
Hudson Flores
those artifacts that give creatures +1/+1 for each creature sharing creature type with it
Aaron Morales
Boros, play your own norn
Benjamin Brooks
Coat of Arms
Charles Thomas
so playing a Leovold deck is a "dick move", yes?
Jonathan Lewis
I did Mogis hand/creature hate, and it's been pretty good. It's shame that I have little against fast combatting other than MVP card Darkness That's true, but it's perfect for creature-heavy meta. Once someone blinked his creature on TÆ's ability on the stack without realizing that he couldn't dodge it.
I made the deck as more casual counterpart of my Hanna deck, but it's managed pretty well so far even without counterspells.
Justin Barnes
help a fella out, /edh/
Grayson Smith
Yes. Seems about as balanced as Griselbrand as commander, honestly.
Jonathan Ortiz
Playing that knife-eared prick isn't a dick move, but be wary that you'll be the #1 target on the table. Always
Evan Hughes
What's the spiciest Glissa tech? I already have Viridian Longbow and Executioner's Capsule.
James Reed
What's some Queen Marchesa tech, aside from Chandra's Ignition?
Lincoln Lopez
The black spellbombs are really good with her too, instant discard is always good.
Wyatt Thompson
I was hoping Sheldon would emergency ban him with the coming of the new set, but alas.
Also WHEN IS FOOD CHAIN GETTING A BAN
John Brooks
Slap a Darksteel Plate on her and Oblivion Stone?
Bentley Sanchez
What do you have so far? Personally, I don't really like feldon as a commander because it stuffs you into one colour, and he shines like a fucking diamond in any R/X/x decks.
In general, if I were to build it, I would make it an artifact stax deck, the same way I`d build Daretti, but with more fatties and, like you said, wheel effects. Bosh is a pretty spicy meatball because he lets you sac your artifact tokens for value after the combat phase. I would run things like Malignus, Heartless Hidestugu, and Bearer of the Heavens for cheap, easy kills. I think you could go the whole kuldotha forgemaster artifact tutoring route and be pretty successful too. Emerakul's hatcher seems like value, and you can do the whole kiki-jiki combo thing, using feldon to fish things from your yard for you. Fallen Ferromancer could be a spicy alternate win card if you really go balls deep into the stax.
Wyatt King
Nihil Spellbomb. Myr Coretapper if you rock with charge counters. Never. It's a fair card if you don't abuse it. However, if it ever becomes banned, I'm hoping for Recurring Nightmare and YagBar unban
Samuel Hernandez
Thornbite Staff
Adrian Fisher
Honestly I'm just retooling him from Zirilan, mainly because of how shockingly well he did last night. Zirilan is SUPER slow, he's 5 to cast and 3 to activate, and with all the sac outlets you're setting up to make sure your dragons don't get exiled it can drag on until he gets online
Xavier Reed
>It's a fair card if you don't abuse it. So is every other card that has ever been banned. Cards are unfair because they get abused. >Look, I'm only gonna use my Academy mana to pay for Chromatic Armor. It's a fair card.
Austin Wood
I'm stuck between doing mono black stax with him or doing Horoki mono white stax.
Which is better?
Bentley Gray
I mean Hokori, dust drinker.
I wanna either pull apart Korlash or Akroma so this would help immensely in choosing.
Henry Long
>playing mazirek in a 4 person game >play mazirek and grave pact into fleshbag marauder >mazirek immediately goes from 2/2 to 9/9 Now my group is trying to ban me from playing mazirek, a bunch of salty fucks I swear.
Jackson Jones
Kuon was fun but he felt like a tier 3 commander. It wasn't easy to flip him, his ability was countered by the most basic shit like Reassembling Skeleton, and his enchantment form didn't offer any protection aside from becoming noncreature.
Depends on whether you want a cutthroat deck or a fun deck, I'd say
Brayden Hill
It was a joke. Sheldon uses the same excuse, because I think he uses it in his decks. There are card in the banlist, that are impossible not to abuse, unless you're nerfing your whole deck for it, such as Griselbrand.
Jacob Howard
Griselbrand is easy to not abuse. Just don't activate him.
Daniel Rogers
Man, so many things are abusable in some way, except maybe some vanilla creatures or like that.
Ian Nelson
Nemesis Mask. Become the enemy of all that lives, user.
Carson Allen
Post your favorite basics
Brayden Gonzalez
What are some good cards for EDH from C2? I feel like grabbing some packs for fun but i feel stupid cause i'm not drafting with them.
Jeremiah Richardson
>using Memory Jar 4 times in a turn off of Daretti
I needed a cigarette after that
Austin Nelson
I got a box and opened it at the lgs whe they were drafting, the sodium content was high
That said the set is pretty meh, just buy the singles or you will be paying $4 for 20c rares, wait a few weeks when everything drops
There is a few nice edh cards like burgeoning, prelate and the new recruiter, and ghostly prison if you dont have one already
Isaiah Johnson
Have you posted your list here already? If it is the one im thinking of it was really great.
Blake Morris
>5 player EDH >Playing Nekusar against Mono-Angel Gisela, monoblack Tasigur, Ezuri, and Mizzix steal and burn >Start off with a shit hand and little mana >Finally get Nekusar out, pinging Mizzix down to 12 health after he combos into card draw >Gisela player lays the smackdown on Ezuri for stealing our land and artifacts while the mono-B player shits around and pings me to 31 >Game gets shut down to a crawl by Eidolon of Rhetoric >Gisela and her Angel squad swings me down to 13 >8 turns of slow draw and drop, Tasigur Cruxes the field >I finish off Ezuri with Cruel Ultimatum >Mizzix destroys all land on the field and burns the other two players for 78 damage >Now it's just me and him >I slowly rebuild my land base and use Elixir of Immortality to reshuffle my cards >Get Teferi's Puzzle Box and Nekusar out >His turn, he draws 9, loses 9, and burns me for six damage, then forks it twice >We start laughing like madmen and shake hands Best game of EDH I have played in months
The khans cycle, each land changed slightly to show the changes in timelines, the swamp and forest with the overgrown ruins are especially dank
Ryder Cooper
>monoblack Tasigur
Jonathan Gomez
Can't see shit
Ethan Martin
The dude said he was using Tasigur for the colors and delve or something
Jaxon Baker
Custodi lich and palace jailer are decent
Recruiter of the guard is really strong, sanctum prelate might work in edh, you can name 2 for cyc rift
Leovold seems like a broken commander but I've yet to play against him so we'll see
There's some good reprints for edh like burgeoning
Isaac Adams
Anything is viable in my group, we are not competitive at all
Isaac Reed
>bring new deck >it fucking steamrolls, end up going 5-0 on the night >next time we play everyone brings a deck that is designed specifically to hose it Worst feel
Jack Rogers
>tasigur >mono black >for delve
Why doesn't he just run oloro instead? If this is his first commander deck I can understand it being bad but it still blows my mind.
Zachary Roberts
New recruiter is like pants on head crazy, im running it in my bant hatebears, flicker him for a hatebear erry turn and lock em' down
Jaxon Sanders
Yeah man that one. I copied it and tweaked it myself. So gud. Going to start work on it soon. Taking Mazirek out of my meren will free up a space to put something else in that deck too.
Jace Hill
>Rav lands are Based >Why couldn't I buy more Guildpact fatpacks I wish I had full art Rav lands.
Cameron Turner
Did somebody say Rav lands?
Isaiah Nelson
I have never met anyone salty enough to build a deck just to shit on a specific deck I have or anyone else's deck, only grudges that last through games. I would be honored that someone would make such an effort just because my deck won. They'd probably be mega mad though, because I have many decks and likely won't play the same next time
Landon Lee

Isaiah Ross
What are you talking about? Your post is all over the place
I have no idea what you just said, let alone want. Your LGS has a burger who whines about good strategies? Why would there be a custom banlist because of one guy? I'm guessing he's UGx cancer and an alphatard if he can force his banlist on the group
Bentley Peterson
Add Skullbriar
Zachary Ross
Because it's ugly and cluttered and mechanically different. What if you want cast the top card by other means? With alter, it doesn't get copied, only by Melek.
Gavin Green
Sorry. I didn't feel like samefagging 3 posts in a row.
Just explain why I made a big angel tribal deck, and super budget. I know it could be tighter.
Jordan Hill
Well that's a first, someone om Veeky Forums actually liking my deck
The deck isn't exactly reanimator strong enough to warrant skullbriar
Joshua Williams
I... Gentlemen, I have found the most hilarious Chaos combo. Chaos Warp + radiate.
Chaos warp every single possible permanent that's on the field. It's hilarious fun and I can't wait to actually pull this off in an actual game.
Luke Brown
I noticed this. You have more land recursion than creature recursion, is this because of Gitrog? I'm also surprised you don't have Attrition or From Beyond in there.
Jonathan Price
Do we have a good example of stax Queen Marchesa yet? People say that's how to play but all I've found so far are pillowforts and the like.
Aiden Evans
Unless someone has an Archetype of Endurance out and beats you to death after you tuck all your own shit like an idiot
Isaiah Anderson
It sure got beasty around here
David Garcia
Still too soon, ive been brewing mardu gudstuff, hatebears and superfriends/boardwipes im sure someone has piloted stax somewhere
Isaiah Hall
Land destruction is heavy in my meta
Leo Young
So warp world except more shuffling.
Tyler Mitchell
Gotta get back into EDH and want to start from scratch. Moving to a new area with a few places to play. Each of my decks are half assed so I'm rebuilding. Here are my choices for Commanders:
-Anax and Cymede -Anthousa, Setessan Hero -Bosh, Iron Golem -Dosan the Falling Leaf -Erebos, God of the Dead -Feldon of the Third Path -Hythonia the Cruel -Kongming, "Sleeping Dragon" -Olivia Voldaren -Sharuum the Hegemon -Sydri, Galvanic Genius -Talrand, Sky Summoner -Thassa, God of the Sea -Tuktuk the Explorer -Uril, the Miststalker -Daretti, Scrap Savant
You guys got any ideas? Looking for something semi competitive but also fun. Don't want to crush everyone at the table though.
Carter White
Ah, I understand now.
Joseph Barnes
Berserk can be sweet in multiplayer. Monarch cards spice up the game, especially the mana doubling one.
Owen Powell
superfriends does seem real interesting too.
Nathaniel Rogers
> someone doesnt have a permanent card on top of their library >combo now reads "shuffle everything on your side of the field into your deck this could happen to you and you wont like it!
William Kelly
>Anthousa Wew lad
Go Olivia Voldaren vampire tribal, my wife plays it when she wants to join in edh shenanigans, this is what i made her
Its pure turn a card sideways till you win or exquisite/sanguine combo, turbo casual
David Hill
Yeah i have only tested on xmage its pretty much all the walkers in mardu that make tokens, you just keep boardwiping and making tokens till you can ultimate one of the walkers and take over
Chase Clark
Newb EDH question: Are there many mono-colored EDH archetypes? Which color has the most?
Carter Howard
Yeah, list of all my legendaries. She's there but not exactly a contender.
I thought of Olivia tribal but it's a little bland, even with the combo. I used to have a 1v1 discard with her at the helm but it's a little too punishing for my poor opponent that sits there and waits to die.
