Sure, you still need about 5-7 copies though. Might want to practice on some commons you have a bunch of before you take an exactoknife to cards you care about.
Chase Rodriguez
So what are some fun spicy tech I can do with this guy in Mono-Brown? Looking up combos only brings up he Time Sieve one and that doesn't do me much good. I guess it makes for good Ashnod's Altar fodder.
Hunter Thompson
He doesn't strictly combo with anything besides Time Sieve.
Cameron Young
I would have gone with Hellbent for Leather personally. Good man.
Jason Wilson
Is Kruphix considered
Isaiah Harris
yup lol that's why I love this guy
Andrew Wood
I was hoping to commission it, I think I would absolutely butcher it and probably send myself to the emergency room with that exacto knife while I'm at it. Is there an /edhg/ approved alterist? Also tfw Paradox Engine goes off with just about anything. >Engine, Mana Rocks and buyback spells for infinite mana >Engine, Mana Rocks and Future Sight/Melek to cast library I sincerely hope this gets banned, because what I'm doing with it is disgusting and I'm not even Elfball or Slivers.

I'm not really sure the reputation this guy has in other groups, but he's become my main deck and successfully strikes fear into the heart of my opponents.
At first, they look confused. >What is this buck-toothed donkey thing? >A mono blue guy that puts lands in? Okay, weird. >Oh. I see. There are dumb moon people that have to bounce lands to use their abilities and this helps. Bad deck....
And then the fucking Sunder drops and two bitches someone gets hit in the dome piece with 22 commander damage thanks to Adventuring Gear while my 25/25 Wind-rider Eel savages the corpse of the other guy.
Not to mention there are 4-5 ways to combo off for other wins lurking in the deck.

Anytime nerd.
Who is letting you resolve a Sunder of all cards?

Nolan Perez
I'm so glad EDH is a thing. It's like the cards themselves have become tard wranglers for the betterment of the game.
Jordan Baker
Considering the other options mono-G has and the fact that even for a mono-G card she's utterly boring I'm not surprised no one is bothering with her.
Oliver Fisher
>Who is letting you resolve a Sunder of all cards? >Monoblue
I am pretty sure he is the one allowing him to resolve Sunder.
I prefer his counterpart, Meloku, because he generates tokens that I can use with Mass Polymorph to tutor every creature in my deck. Either way you go, soratami are a stronk tribe in edh.
How do I prevent effects like Languish playing a non-blue token deck? I have a few cards like Heroic Intervention in to get save them from destruction-based boardwipes, but toughness 0 gets around that. Is there any easy way to get around it besides counterspells?
Samuel Gonzalez
Yes, xmage is missing quite a few cards. I think they upload them one at a time by hand, so as you can imagine a lot of stuff slips through the cracks. I think they do updates and add them in bits and pieces along the way.
Jeremiah Barnes
Well shoot, how am I supposed to combo out with my opponent's deck if I can't force them to draw cards?
Benjamin Murphy
>Is there any easy way to get around it besides counterspells?
not really. I used rootborn defenses liberally during the time Supreme Verdict was standard legal, but Languish is a bitch to get around. My best bet is to slow-roll your threats, and prioritize creatures with 5+ toughness
I run Meloku in the Deck, for sure. His combo potential is amazing, but other than some of the Moonfolk and a few utility wizards my decks is pretty light on creatures.
I like running Patron as the a commander because you need a reliable way to put your lands back out with the bouncing you do with the other cards. You can flash him in too, which is nice.
>implying I'd let them stop me. I'm not as control heavy as I could be for mono blue, that's true, but I usually save a counter or some kind of protection for when I go in for the kill. Furthermore, it's all about timing.
There are a lot of very aggressive decks in my meta, while this deck goes from very passive to explosive. Much of the time most of the table HAS to expend their resources holding back the very aggressive decks who would win more quickly. I benefit from this by holding back my big plays until Izzet storm or Black reanimator or whoever blew their wad too soon and got shut down by the rest of the table who is now low on gas. But that's just simple multiplayer magic pacing. Those kind of rules hold true for any deck. But that's just kind of the style I lean towards. Try to keep at least one good answer in hand at all times, never look threatening until it's too late for them to do anything about it.
Christopher Sanders
Lifeforce, Order of the Sacred Torch, Thrull Wizard, Mana Tithe, Thrull Wizard to counter the spell itself.
Otherwise play anthems, anthems errywhere and mass +1/+1 counter cards like Archangel of Thune, most of the Ajani, Avenger of Zendikar, Cathar's Crusade, Gleam of Battle, Collective Effort, Decree of Savagery, etc.
Zachary Peterson
Woops, listed Thrull Wizard twice, ignore that.
Zachary Brooks
List?
Justin Harris
Just play counterspells. Pic related saved me the other day when the chaos player tried to kill the table using hivemind and a Pact. I countered the pact he forced me to cast and went on with things.
I always like running off color counterspells or off color effects. No one really expects it. But it's so satisfying to see the look in their face when they think they're good to go "Only the mono white or mono red player has any mana open. I can't be stopped."
Then watch the look on their face as you cast Lapse of Certainty or flash in a Null Brooch.
Logan Stewart
Also try this gem if you're in green or Seleysnia. Combo with Eight-and-a-half Tails for Seleysnia hard control.
Jose Thompson
Wouldn't everyone else have gotten a Lapse of Certainty though? Which would have probably gotten your Lapse countered?
Justin Ward
How do your playgroups do proxies? Mine allows people to use a few proxies but I feel like that is opening up the table for someone to start to proxy stuff just because they can and not really care about ever getting the cards.
i was too lazy to list everything but all the basic island have storms or beaches on them and all the swamps look...swampy all the mana rocks are foil(fucking needlessly expensive) except sol ring(hunting for a masterpeice) and i dont have a foil star compass theres like 20

Mason Moore
I don't care for them, but my group is ok with them as long as people don't get too crazy so I don't make a fuss.
Isaiah Edwards
Mass pumps.
Benjamin Butler
I don't have a list lying around at the moment.
I run 38 lands, 30 Islands. The rest are some utility you can season to taste.
A good amount of the Moonfolk, but not all of them. Meloku as mentioned. Floodbringer. The manaleak guy, the untap lands one, the shroud one, I can't remember what else. A few other wizards like Azami, Arcanis, Trinket Mage, and Vedalken Aethermage.
Some mana rock ramp. Some landfall guys like Windrider Eel and Wave Wing Elemental and Guardian of Tazeem. Also Retreat to Coralhelm. Huge combo potential or control piece against creature decks.
Some other land bouncing spells like Gush and Thwart. Usual suite of blue counter magic, draw spells, and some bounces for spot removal. A few useful clone effects.
Amulet of Vigor is a must-have for the deck, too. If you can stick sunder that's a game ender . You can combo off with infinite tokens, life gain, mana, and capsize boards. Land fall trigger to smack people with Adventuring Gear or BIG FISH.
Liam Reyes
Fucking kill yourself.
Jayden Stewart
No Piracy? I mean, it's not too impressive of a card, sure. But it's useful for stopping other people from interfering with your plays for a turn. Cast it Main Phase 1 to force them to either tap out in response or lose their mana to you, then wait until your Main Phase 2 (to empty the mana pools of anyone that did tap out in response) to cast your own stuff and use their lands (since Piracy is until end of turn).
Blake Ortiz
Competitive is literally all combo.
I listed the viable combo decks that are Tier 0-1 earlier in that reply chain. However the decks you listed are in fact trash.
Parker Phillips
Yeah, I run patron as part of the combo in the meloku deck, and he comes in with the mass polymorph. It's a fairly creature light deck, to the point that having meloku and 3 tokens is fairly likely to get a strong combo or outright win the game when I polymorph.
Brandon Brown
> competitive EDH
Sebastian Anderson
Yeah. You're right. Looks like our Chaos player was a dummy and didn't know his own cards. He thought, and said, that hive mind only forced the table to copy spells he was casting.
That game was such a cluster, though, with all the chaos effects he had played I can't really remember WHAT the board state was like.
Had the table all copied Lapse like Hive Mind actually reads, each player would have (presumably) targeted their own copy of Pact while the Chaos player would have used his to counter one other player's Lapse so they would still die during their upkeep to the pact trigger. So instead of being a table kill, it would have been a single player kill on the Chaos player's part. Me or one of the other 2 players.
At any rate, I still find Lapse to be a really useful card.
Josiah Martinez
i had it in the deck but 99% of the time it was dead and noone bothers to disrupt me anyways most of the cards are terrible listening to alestorm inspired me to make the deck but i thought maritime folk music was more fitting
Twin is a competitive combo and having to deal combat damage is irrelevant because it's infinite hasty and sometimes even flying dudes. The problem with having to deal combat damage normally is when you're dealing with non-infinite non-haste creatures.
Softlock with stax effects, then drop Ichor Rats or Armageddon Clock and watch the clock tick. youtube.com/watch?v=v54cX5rC8Pg
Cooper Edwards
But what if someone fogs? You automatically lose.
Matthew Wilson
I like that song more fore crazy Avacyn. Orphan of Kos sounds more hopeless and like the Orphan Emrakul is really unhappy about her current situation on Innistrad.
No, you just don't win that turn. What if someone disenchants your artifact based combo?
Every combo has an axis of interaction by which it can be disrupted.
Camden Rogers
Good thing competitive players don't play fog generally speaking barring niche cases like spike weaver. RUG is the most common color combination that I've seen play twin combos which is fully capable of dealing with both spell-based fogs as well as stuff like spike weaver and spore frog.
Evan Evans
I actually really consider playing mana tithe but I think it'd be better if your meta is more tuned and people are doing powerful things from beginning to end rather than the typical picture people pain of commander where people are just ramping or doing nothing in the first 4 turns/
Cooper Gomez
Why the fuck did you reply to me? I told you Twin is trash in commander.
The actual worry here is that in competitive you'll be against three people with Pact/Force/Swords/Path in hand and no way of getting through that.
Ian Cooper
If i want to play commander but can't play the physical game, should i build a Magic Online commander deck? Or does no one play that format online?
