Repostan' right at the beginning, in an attempt to preserve the quality of this thread:
Here are helpful ways to fix up these threads so they don't constantly devolve into shit:
>To that one guy who spergs everywhere about various things that aren't done his way, kindly fuck off. Yes, you have autistm, and you're probably mad about things beyond your control, but don't take it out on us. Whether it's proxies or stax or what-have-you, clearly you're always the same guy, if someone makes you mad on the internet, just go do something else.
>To that one guy who can't post properly, stop. Seriously, read a book or some shit. It looks like you're a sentient computer with a tentative grasp of the English language, and your insistence on spamming up these threads is awful. It's okay to have different opinions, just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean that explaining it over the course of 10,000 posts is going to help. You also don't have to reply to every single post, unless you have something meaningful to contribute.
>To that sub-sect of contrarian assholes who like to argue about established facts to piss that sperg guy off, stop it. You can shit up the modern thread all you like, but /edhg/ is a nice place full of nice people. I can't make you leave, but it would be nice if you didn't trigger all these new posters who have never seen the ol' "painter's servant should be unbanned"/"oloro is totally fair and balanced"/"you should ban sol ring" arguments before. While it is possible to have stimulating conversation on these topics, it won't happen, ever.
>To the rest of you, ignore these three groups of people, and these threads will improve remarkably. Giant, angry paragraphs, poorly formatted individual lines of text, and blatantly obvious shitposting should be ignored.

How many sac outlets is too many for Alesha? First draft of my next deck has 12 which I feel like is too many, along with some spot removal, but I want to be consistent with good reanimation targets and ETB triggers.
Jacob Barnes
You clearly give too much of a shit about internet forums
Juan Harris
I think your strategy is a little screwy. Run 6-10 good ones if you want that to be a focus, but in those 6-10 sac outlets, make sure that you have a diverse range of effects generated from using them.
Ryan Sanders
Can we talk about how this is the worst fucking flavor text on any commander? Like, custom card-tier bad.
Brandon Jones
What sac outlets are we talking about here?
David Davis
post your list there is no such thing as too many as long as they're the right ones
Samuel Reyes
My Alesha deck runs 9 sac outlets, 4 of which are on creatures that can be reanimated by her ability. That way, I can usually always get at least 1 back if I need to.
Isaiah Young
Who is the best commander for MacGyver shenanigans?
Gavin Murphy
That's fucking hilarious. That's like EM superfriends fluff bad.
Juan Evans
>Got a field full of cheap creatures and cannon fodder plus a key line of anticipation. >Burn guy casts blasphemous act >Flash in Vigor >Suddely have a board full of massive threats with no other creatures on the field >My turn I just stampede two players and kill the last one next turn.
This is a fuck-around deck, but like one of you said, I feel like the sac effects aren't diverse enough.
Luke Ramirez
Ima continue posting how I please, but thanks for your input
Samuel Green
>MacGyver shenanigans I'm not sure what you mean, pulling wins out of your ass? Building something out of what looks like nothing? I don't really get it.
Jonathan Gray

Colton Morris
Go on. Why Slobad over, say, Daretti?
Owen Thomas
Holy shit, do you wanna get hacked?!
Evan Hughes
My Karador Rebels deck usually has a solution in the graveyard or the deck, especially if Conspiracy is in play. Karador Hatebears will generally have a hard-to-permanently-get-rid of tool box.
Kaho's basically a built-in toolbox, and in a Legacy environment blue has almost everything.
Not that guy but I could see how Slobad fits the macgyver theme since you can protect your key artifacts by sac'ing tiny Jank ones that may or may not have already given you their value
And isn't macgyver known for making something from what seems like irrelevant pieces?
Daretti is probably a good choice too though
Aaron Perez
Why are you trash talking custom card threads people for no reason? Fuck you too
David Rivera
Not all of them are bad, but the ones who post off-thread usually are awful.
Jace Flores
ive seen worse
this card just has way too much going on, but at least he tried to balance it with the sac a million things on etb clause
Joshua Gray
Sac a million things to cast, rather. You can cheat it in any other way without penalty.
Jonathan Wilson
>play nekusar and have a slow start because no artifact ramp in starting hand >t1 land + bloodchief ascension >become the target immedeatly >ascnension gets removed , everyone starts beating down at me >drop Lil's Carress turn 3 spiteful visions turn 4 >t5 I'm at 12 life while everyone else is still at about 40 >drop land into mana wault, into gilded lotus into clever imprtsonator targeting lotus and drop reforge the soul >whole table takes at least 20 each while I go down to 4 because of spiteful visions but have a hand that wins me the game and 12 mana next round but no board position aside from carress and spiteful visions >next player blows up my enchantments and both gilded lotus >player after that swings at me for lethal
Brody Nguyen
oh good point
yeah a lot of the custom cards are pretty silly but if you've ever read one of those threads, a good majority of the posters are actually pretty conservative with their designs
Owen Lopez
Got the thread off to a shit start there fucko.
Nicholas Hughes
Oh shit I have a couple of those. I feel like I need more spot removal for my opponents' stuff, I'm in some of the best colors for it.
Maybe cut a couple sac outlets?
Michael Lopez
Daretti also paints an immense target on your forehead right when people see him across the table. They know what you're up to. Slobad, in my experience, can fly under the radar until he goes off.
Until people get wise to your shit and start blowing him up without a Mycosynth Lattice out.
Evan Hall
Pretty good compared to these
Adrian Torres
thats always fun
Wyatt Diaz
>I've seen worse >Worse That's why.
Michael Young
>that +1 ability >give all your shit haste forever
Mason Hughes
Holy shit
Holy SHIT
Ryan Phillips
what the fuck am I looking at here
Jose Allen
Give me a Callandor for Heartless Hidetsugu immediately. Holy shit.
Jayden Fisher
Sweet fuck on toast, those are awful. Really really awful. Particularly those "prevent all the damage this creature has ever dealt" clauses. That artifact, which looks like the most balanced, is clearly the most busted. Also, that roll 2d6 thing is hilariously stupid. On average, when that hits, you're going to give everything +7+7. Also, that half mana is stupid as hell.
Eli Miller
I'd cut: >blasting station >carnage altar >altar of dementia they're just to weak 'cept for blasting station and you're missing a combo piece for that I'd also exchange one of your boardwipes for Planar Cleansing to hit noncreature permanents too. I'd also advise you to throw in Elesh Norn and/or Always Watching and Sidisi, Undead Vizier because she's just good and swap Burial Rites for Dread Return so you can sac while you're reanimating and I think Goblin Sharpshooter would look good in your deck too.
Carson Torres
Based conspiracy 2 making Beast Within, Phyrexian Arena, Burgeoning and Ghostly Prison hella cheap. EDH staples over 10 bucks are a cancer.
Adam Wright
were those all over 10 bucks before?
time flies
i got my burgeoning for $12 but the other ones were $3-$5 like a year ago
conspiracy 2 really ended up being a better eternal masters than eternal masters, even modern got better reprints
William Adams
New Recruiter makes me wish I still played.
Gavin Cox
Thanks dawg
Why Sharpshooter? Just curious
Cooper Price
Maybe. Add diabolic intent. Ditch anklebiters since their effect triggers when you declare attackers and not from recursion. For sure throw in that recruiter from conspiracy.
Easton Hall
Why'd you stop, user?
Christian Lewis
>spending 12 mana to affix an ability Fervor is more useful 99% of the time.
Sebastian Taylor
not him but goblin sharpshooter is really good with sac outlets
Grayson Gonzalez
I'm running a Pathfinder campaign with the same kitchen table bros and we're all way too busy to do both.
Aiden Taylor
the Damnation reprint will happen next right? it must doesn't it? pls?
Samuel Gutierrez
>mfw me and a friend drafted at our LGS and got bitch queen and arson goblin we're building decks already. I'm doing a Monarch deck and he's slapping Grenzo into his Krenko deck
Robert Cruz
>see all these custom cards >start looking through the few that I made >find this Fuck, I wish that was actually a thing. I would run the shit out of that commander.
Dylan Sullivan
>Draw opening hand >Bojuka Bog is one of your only lands
Liam Turner
Thats what bounce lands are for :3
Jayden Gomez
those give me a headache. they were bad enough when they were in ccg, dont post them here.
Logan Perez
Literally bought a Phyrexian Arena for 10 bucks a month ago for my Gisa deck, just bought 4 for 3 bucks a pop. Conspriacy 2 was a love letter to commander players.
Dylan Wright
>Draw opening hand >Cabal coffers is your only land in hand
Liam Reyes
Yeah the recruiter and new Grenzo have to find a spot. Ankle Shanker is something of a pet card but I'm not overly attached to it.
Alexander Davis
Naw, but a few of them were nearing 10 and all of them were over 5 dollars. It just makes them easier to obtain on a budget. I really want that one for my Nahiri EDH. >30 dollars I should have expected this.
Henry Wilson
exactly what he said if you swing with all your weenies and bring you to like 3 life and you have sharshoter and a sac outlet you can just finish the job and don't need to wait for your next turn and you can even do it at instant speed
Jonathan Stewart
Meekstone, peacekeeper, retribution of the meek, are good ways to control. >attack with alesha + goons >recur peacekeeper >no one can attack at all until you sac peacekeeper >sac it on your turn or right before it >repeat
Priest of the bloodrite also seems kinda neat. Bring him in, get demon (interacts with flameshadow conjuring or strionic for a second demon), sac it before upkeep.
Hunter Turner
I want it for like four decks. Karador Rebels... Opal-Eye control-hatebears... nuSigarda humans...
Daniel Davis
>30 dollars >I should have expected this. just wait a few weeks. he'll drop once enough of the set has been opened after all this is not bullshit masters set with a limited print run
Nathaniel Cooper
whats some spicy tech for Xenagod?
Gabriel Walker
>draw opening hand >four lands >three nonlands >entirely mismatching colors
Brody Price
Hopefully. I am seeing some for actually like 15 bucks right now on ebay and I'm tempted but I really dislike paying that price for a single. I only did it for Stoneforge Mystic and like 2 weeks later the price shot way the fuck up because speculation of being unbanned in modern.
I also kind of want to see what my LGS lists their price as when they throw it up on their site.
Carter Bailey
>tfw the tracker says my new cards got to the post office at 3 AM today and still haven't gone out for delivery
aggravated assault + savage ventmaw? xenagos doesnt really have spicy tech beyond your usual red/green spices
Bentley Murphy
Why, I'm sure glad you asked. Outside of the normal malignus/heartless hidestugu/vexing shusher stuff, I`d recommend xanthid swarm, price of progress, and this spicy bastard.. I usually run an anti-nonbasic land ramp sort of thing just to piss people off.
Nicholas Anderson
>Draw opening hand >4 lands >3 cards with matching colors and CMC No lands for 10+ draws and several cards that cost more than 4 That's when you know you fucked up
Ian Davis
Untill someone breaks it at a legacy event (lol) that gets coverage (lolx2) it will continue to drop and settle around $5 then someone will buy it out and it will spike, till then wait a week or 2 the entire set will only get cheaper its a huge print run
Jose Gomez
Wouldn't Meekstone fuck with Alesha though?
Justin Fisher
Yes it would, he propably meant something else.
Caleb Gomez
Can't think of what though. Only other thing I can think is Crackdown and that's for non-white creatures
Charles Edwards
I'm retooling my first EDH deck from baby Teysa to Ayli and I'd love some help figuring out the last few cuts, or what terrible cards I put in that need to go. I would like to stay as lifegain/control/aristocrats.
Please no Exquisite Blood or Felidar/Test, heading to new playgroup on Friday and I don't wanna risk coming off as terribly cheesy. Tree of Perdition going in as soon as I can trade for a copy.
what do you think about Leovold on the helm of Glissa the Traitor artifacts? I want to build Glissa but I also want to abuse green's etbs with deadeye and since Leovold is a savage by himself I think it could work. also anyone got some picy green cards for an artifact deck? I haven't build green in edh before.
Lucas Nguyen
Just chuck the super-ramped fuck once you're done with it.
Josiah Ortiz
me neither. maybe he meant meekstone after all but forgot that Alesha is reliant on creatures with power 2 or less
Caleb Adams
CLERICS
MORE CLERICS
Juan Cook
Leovold with Teferi's and discard effects then use Maro and were-maro to smack 'em down
Dominic Hill
Where would you slot this silly neato card?
Carter Smith
Marduchesa
Ian Perez
I might try Cleric Tribal later if I don't find Lifegain/Control fun. I'd love to use Preacher and Edgewalker. But you got anything for what it is now?
Adrian Morales
This guy is just calling my name
I already have a Voltron deck but a 2-drop commander in a battlecruiser meta that just gets more huge as time goes on could really fuck shit up
Asher Jones
nah that's not what I'm looking for. I want to flicker Avenger with Phyrexian Altar out. I want value, mad value. and artifacts, though I'm considering since I'm in green to just go tokens
Gabriel Brown
>>Not being able to play this in a King Macar deck >>Why live
David Edwards
probably zada
people will most likely ignore you for the most of the game because lol mono red, allowing you to win the game in a dumb idiotic manner
Ryder Carter
I got a Skullbriar counters-all-day-long deck that is pretty effective, but I got kinda tired of it since it's always the precisely identical "swing with Skullbriar" strategy and I don't play EDH for that.
Jacob Thompson
Yeah, I do get the vibe that he would be fun for about 2 games, and then you're left with an incredibly one-note deck. I do want to build something fast though. My group needs to speed shit up, myself included, but I don't want to start an arms race because I know it would just obliterate everyone.
Ethan Morgan
Does it make sense to have Mwonvuli Beast Tracker if you only have 4 targets for him?
Christopher Martinez
I have a friend who built a Skullbriar deck around Ghoulcaller Gisa. A lot of reanimation, bringing back Skullbriar not from the graveyard (and Command Zone when out of reanimation), and building a gigantic horde of zombies.
Eli Gonzalez
Depends how much you need one of those 4 targets.
Hudson Powell
MBT is borderline playable depending on whether you abuse ETB effects. Do you?
Grayson Jones
They're all pretty useful and one's a combo piece.
Xavier Collins
sup EDH gen I need some help
recently put together my first Creatureless Deck but i'm worried that it won't work, so before I invest some dosh how about some friendly pointers?
