I want to build a deck that makes everyone at the table absolutely miserable. Which commander would be best for this?
Nathan Wood
So someone could probably take him down with a few knights with swords? Hes not that big
Cameron Walker
hes crouching tho isnt he?
Carter White
Mono-black stax with the pitmaster
Jackson Adams
Nice human opinion Pit art?
Henry Phillips
Well what kind of miserable are you looking for? You can do stax miserable like Teysa, "youll never have creatures" miserable like Glissa, or "youll never do anything" like Augustin IV. Their are tons of ways to make people miserable. Also are you looking for group bullshit or for 1v1?
Angel Russell
Can I get some comments or critiques on my Feldon deck? I got into the format with one of the four color precons and upgrading, especially the manabase, is extremely expensive, so I'm scaling it back with a monocolor deck.
You could build a stupid chaos deck, makes the game last forever as you order replacement effects and randomisation effects with no real win condition.
Warp World Knowledge Pool Possibility Storm Hive Mind Mana barbs
etc
Evan Garcia
Maybe Flamekin Village or Hall of the bandit lord, more options to ensure Feldon has haste.
I've fallen in love with Sram, and I'm going to build a mono-white Voltron deck with that adorable advisor at the helm.
Anyone got any secret tech suggestions?
Flickering Ward is fucking awesome with him, even moreso if you add Sigarda's Aid into the mix. Add in other auras, equipment and nice tutors, and you've got a pretty nice deck, and on the cheap too.
Camden Smith
What's the basic strategy of a Surrak Dragonclaw deck?
Chase Sullivan
This is a weird request but I'm looking for a commander that's wearing a mask. Preferably in colors that care more about artifacts but it doesn't really matter a whole bunch. Can anyone help me out?
Robert Perry
...
Daniel Hall
He can get big. Depends on the colors you're looking at. Aura voltron so that you can get access to massive aura/enchantment graveyard recovery spells that mono white has.
Luke Scott
>hilariously buff guy >puny little dagger >clearly skipped leg day Pottery.
Brayden Howard
Wow, that's practically perfect for a meme deck.
Jaxon Parker
If you're going to be reckless, cards like goblin lore would be good. I have a hunch that you'll be doing major changes in the creature area. A creature i would suggest would be pic related.
Ryan Allen
Play big creatures, hit people with them.
Austin Peterson
Tit art.
Anthony Rogers
Normal Commander has fallen out of favor at my LGS, now everyone are playing 20lp Duel Commander at FNM and it actually looks fun. I have Queen Marchesa, Teysa Orzhov Scion and Mogis God of Slaughter, which one would you take to FNM?
Luke Rivera
dear god I hope that doesn't catch on
Brandon Cook
>20 LP Duel Commander absolutely disgusting
Aaron Perry
"You'll never have creatures" would definitely make my group the most miserable.
Jeremiah Flores
>20lp Duel Commander jesus that sound horrible honestly
Jason Martinez
...
Jose Parker
So, a dumb question about janky Breya techs.
Let's say i'm attacking with her with blade of selves attached. Will i be able to sac the two Breya clones that appeared to original Breya's ability before legend rule kicks in?
Sebastian Price
No. Legend rule hits when state based actions are checked, which happens before anyone gets priority.
Benjamin Clark
>Sram kek, means taking a shit in Polish
Hunter Brooks
No, state-based actions are checked first and they are sent to the yard. If someone had a Mirror Gallery out, this would work
Robert Jackson
Build Edric flying men with every
Hudson Ortiz
I don't think so. They'll go to the graveyard as a state based action before anyone gets priority.
I think you'll still get the 4 tokens though, so it might be worth it anyways.
Carter Jenkins
dangit.
Camden King
You do get tokens. The second legend has to actually enter the battlefield for the legend rule to apply, so all ETB effects trigger. It's the same reason why Rite of Replication on certain commanders like Reaper King = fun times
Brody Ward
>Rite of Replication on Reaper King
you fucking disgust me.
Anthony Taylor
Just build a group hug and spend the entire game talking about how much fun everyone is having. Get mad when someone attacks you since you're "not hurting anyone" and vocally pick a winner and say you're playing for second place.
Joseph Fisher
So i still can do dumb things, they're just less dumb. Got it. Time for Panharmonicon/pic related shenanigans.
Oliver Perez
Horobi, Death's Wail. The pub stomp deck to stomp all pub stompers.
Gavin Wright
Thraximundar or Zurgo for voltron?
Robert Clark
How would this work?
Chase Reed
if that card isnt banned in EDH like tomorrow i will lose all faith in the rules council and demand that wizard takes over control of EDH
Ayden Anderson
It doesnt. As soon as you play Horobi, someone will target it. Commanders that are blatant with what they do are not good
Adam Perry
Why do you want it banned? Cards like Felidar Sovereign aren't and have much less work to do to win with.
Julian Garcia
Honestly, i feel the same. It would be an amazing shenanigans card without "you win" clause.
Julian Reyes
Xenagod
Chase Nguyen
>Commanders that are blatant with what they do are not good So goodstuff is the only real way to play?
Tyler Foster
Nice kneejerk reaction, kiddo.
Kayden Jenkins
You have faith in them now?
Grayson Wright
The hidden tier above scrambleverse
Isaac Rodriguez
not really
Anthony James
What is best way to use this card?
It works quite well with "cowardice" but is there any other cards it works with?
Landon Morris
i want that card banned too, its one of the few cards thats actually banned in my play group
Julian Morris
What other creatures would you suggest I change if you think that it's necessary?
Chase Kelly
But French EDH has now officially 20 life. That's why they unbanned shit like Yawgmoth's Bargain. Yes, the card that's banned everywhere and restricted in vintage.
Hunter Hill
So it's vial smasher: the format?
Joshua White
which is why you recur it, give it indestructible, and/or respond with targeting their whole board
Wyatt Richardson
>What is best way to use this card? As kindling for a roaring fire, that card is awful
Nolan Anderson
Dude, that card isn't even that powerful. It's decent on a myr token or pentavite or triskelavite or thopter, but not that great aside from those. It seems decent value, but it's not something you'd expect to win with, afterall, it's two choices of targets that can be removed to nullify the effect.
Angel Hall
No, it's a dad joke: the format. It shocks me like stomping grounds how incompetent the people in charge of it are. They're even worse than sheldor and his merry men. They announced that they'd keep focusing on banning problem commanders, instead of banning actual problem cards which amlmost always reside in the 99 and instead they now unban probably the most broken enchantment that ever was created. The 20 life nerf isn't helping enough to justify the unban.
Asher Phillips
What about on Vela senpai?
Camden Hughes
only correct answer
Christopher Stewart
Each opponent losing 20 life isn't equal destroying 25 permanents in my opinion.
Zachary Jenkins
Gaddock Teeg
Brayden King
what cards are there that make a creature you control deal damage to someone else?
Gabriel Evans
Did someone say Mass-Production?
Daniel Taylor
lol what? that card fucking sucks
Jason Kelly
So, how do people feel about Yehenni? I was eagerly awaiting to see what an Aetherborn Vampire would have, and it is by no means a bad card in the 99 (just about any Golgari deck could make use) but strikes me as underwhelming as commander. I guess I am kinda reminded of Ashling the Extinguisher. A really useful creature for bringing the pain, but not really a build-around.
Parker Smith
or just use it on gray merchant for le instant win
William Long
That works too. There's bunch of good cards that work well with it. Kokusho is good too, but it's really underwhelming compared to Gary.
Jayden Young
honestly, not even that impressive as a role player in the 99 of any deck
David Howard
Yes, hes 8 feet small.
Carter Edwards
Edric's been banned in duel commander since forever.
Luke Cruz
? Card isn't good at all, it's a just for giggles card
Camden Sullivan
Aren't you the guy that talks shit on French edh constantly yet never plays it and shits on anybody who mentions that they've played it once or twice?
Why should we listen to your retarded opinions on this matter?
Matthew Sullivan
Im playing Derevi Stax and Im not quite sure how to finish out the game?
James Rogers
It was designed for limited and standard not edh
Robert Watson
just beat down with creatures while everybody else is locked down
Grayson Allen
kill yourself
Samuel Anderson
That will end the game pretty quick
Jayden Bailey
Creatures with ETB effects that help you. I would choose creatures as a response to your meta.
Blake Cooper
depends, what stax pieces are you using?
Ryan Roberts
Did I hit a nerve? I have played it but it doesn't matter even if I never had, since it's effectively just EDH with a different banlist and halved life. You're delusional if you think that the banlist is good and the people deciding the bans/unbans are competent on what they do. It's not even a good format when it comes to competitive element, since the good archetypes don't work, such as storm. You can defend even tiny leaders all you want, but Frech will never be a good format as long as the people in charge stop and think. At least give me an argument and reason why was I wrong instead of "durr you a retard". This isn't /v/.
Hunter Rivera
In fact it is, doesn't know shit, Yawgmoth's Bargain is absolutelly meaningless. The format's top decks are: >Vial/Kraum >Vial/Reyhan >Titania >Geist of Saint Traft >Jenara, Asura of War >Zurgo Bellstriker >Jace, Vryn's Prodigy >Saskia the Unyielding With some success from Kytheon, Breya, Prossh, Meren, Leovold and Queen Marchesa.
It's actually nothing at all like Duel Commander used to be, it feels a lot like singleton Legacy and is actually very damn exiting.
Jayden Bennett
8/10 in Meren/Mazirek if you have Damnation, 0/10 everywhere else.
Aaron Rodriguez
Depends. Zurgo is typically faster, has access to tons of removal, and has a bunch of combat tricks, but is a bit more difficult to protect outside of your turn. Thraximundar is slower, but can play a better control game and has more card draw options.
I built both decks before, and I found Zurgo to be more fun to play.
Nicholas Rodriguez
Just winning the game isn't comparable to ruining someone else's game by wiping out their mana bases. Just imagine with Panharmonicon too, sweet jesus.
Kayden Wright
I've posted this here once before but I still need a second look
It feels too much like "durdle until you can start slapping people with Blightsteel" and I don't like having only one wincon in a deck
Leo Jones
Is there any way of making a Yidris Chaos deck enjoyable to play and play against?
Aaron Harris
I'm leaning more towards Zurgo definitely.
Kayden Gomez
>Yidris Yes
>Chaos No
Grayson Phillips
So last thread I asked about Ruric Thar and Erebos as starting commanders for my friends' first edh decks that had ~$50 budget.
Everyone has their own opinion on whether those commanders are good for new players but after they looked through the legendaries those are the ones they choose.
They will mostly be playing eachother so hopefully they are somewhat balanced. We have a few other cheaper decks to play with them in 3-4 player games.
