Yes. I built an Orkz deck.
It's explosive, unpredictable, loses a lot, and is goofy as shit.
Christopher Martin
I built Numot America Matters, it was boardwipes, kill spells, and land destruction. It was actually pretty good, since it's so easy to grab Sunforger (and by extension, Faith's Reward).
And funnily enough, I got btfo just as badly sometimes as I btfo of others. My roommate was playing Reveillark/Karmic Guide and had an altar of dementia out, and I was out of removal targets with sunforger. and I only had Numot. So I proceeded to keep topdecking lands, and got nicked down from 16 fucking life to a loss.
Brody Thomas
No one cares.
Austin Thomas
It's literally the thread question, fuckmouth.
Christopher Carter
It's the thread topic, you twat. It generates discussion, or at least allows others to see what some chucklefucks on the internet have done with their decks.
Henry Reyes
Well done. No one cares.

Glad to see you contributing, bud. Keep it up.

Not an argument :^)

It's almost like we're all autists here.
Back in my early days with EDH, I tried to make Legend of Zelda tribute decks. Link was never finished partially on account of never having a satisfactory commander. Zelda (Hanna) was a mess due to me being a noob at the time. Ganondorf (Kaervek) though was fairly mean, at least for my noob meta.
Charles Bennett
I am indeed that faggot.
Michael Hall
You are aware that some people actually enjoy ideas like that, right? Especially since that's fucking gA.
Careful man. They'll just say you inspected elements, this is typically shitpost derailing.
William Reyes
Wasn't really the entire theme because I wanted to be somewhat competitive but I wanted a deck with a Vampire Counts themed deck, basically a few vampires leading a bunch of zombies and other spooky shit. Turned out really fun, and still kinda has that feeling
Christopher Morales

You got a list?

Jeremiah Phillips
Not for you, bitch.
Ryan Scott
Have a (You) for your troubles, I farmed it myself.
Grayson Mitchell
Someone in my local EDH club relies on this infinite 0-cost artifact combo that starts with them using ad nauseum. They've been able to win on turn 3 a few times now.
Would it be a good or bad idea to use Pithing needle to counter this? I just say "Ad nauseum" and it should at least buy me time?
Jeremiah Johnson
Phone and laptop posting doesn't count as a samefag.
Aiden Hall
>Activated Abilities >Ad Nauseam It's a pretty bad idea
Thomas Young
...
Justin Anderson
Sounds like eggs combo. My understanding is grave hate and cards like Nevermore are what you want (pithing needle doesn't work, that's for activated abilities of permanents and ad nauseam is a spell). Nevermore will do the job you're looking for!
Jack Anderson
Not on hand unfortunately. It's a mono black with Kalitas as the general to spawn zombies, grave pact, dictate of erebos, butcher of Malakir to mulch enemy boards into zombies. Endless ranks of the dead, army of darkness, zombie Titan to spawn more of them. I tried to win using smokestack because it's evil enough to fit the theme, but I also have the sanguine bond/exquisite blood combo because I play with guys who have like 4 infinite combos per deck.
Elijah Garcia
Neat, that's actually pretty cool.
Levi Wright
Dude, you need a hobby.
Alexander Hill
Gotta use Meddling Mage/Nevermore/Null Chamber/etc to lock out Ad Naus, Needle and Revoker do shit.
Nathan Parker
Considering Pithing Needle will do literally nothing to stop that, I'd advise against it.
Jeremiah Morgan
This second guy coming in clutch. Also low cost gravehate like Tormod's Crypt, Rest in Peace, and Grafdiggers Cage will help hose the combo while also keeping your deck strong against grave shenanigans.
Cameron Richardson
It's called Magic the Gathering. :^)
Adrian Wilson
Yeah, it is right?
Jeremiah Miller

Jonathan James
Question: When you overload a spell, replacing "target" with "each" still means that the spell targets each individual permanent, right?
Adrian Ross
NOPE, hexproof get fucked
Bentley Morris
No. "Destroy each creature" targets nothing.
Nathaniel Clark
Well all the overload cards have a specific trait that it targets (nonland, artifact etc) so instead of hitting one of those targets it hit every available target. You are technically correct but it doesn't hit every permanent.
Joseph Evans
jojo man what would you name an ezuri deck and marath deck?
Parker Bailey
Nope, so it gets around things like hexproof and protection.
Liam James
Nope. An Overloaded Cyclonic Rift does not target anything, just like a Wrath of God does not target anything. It replaces the word 'target' with the word 'each'. Spells that do not say 'target' do not target anything (with the weird exception of Aura spells, but that's because the targeting bit is baked into the rules for Auras)
Jacob Gray
Nope. Overloading makes it non targeting.
Julian Torres
Oh I missed the target part. Nah unless it says target it won't target.
Luis Smith
>you are technically correct No he isn't. The spell doesn't target at all. An overloaded Vandalblast will hit artifacts with pro-red, or Shroud, or Hexproof, specifically because it doesn't target them when overloaded.
Kayden Adams
Thanks Don't know who the fuck this is though

Wyatt Mitchell
I want to build a Lands Matter deck, with all sorts of stupid combos. I know Gruul/Jund is the best starting ground due to the Gruul lands commanders, and splashing the Gitrog Monster (not to mention a plethora of black tutors). But there's also the Blue effects with Patron of the Moon and other associated land bounce / landfall abuse, which knocks it to 4 colors.
Am I better off just pushing to 5-color and playing Child of Alara lands, is 4-color acceptable (and if so, lead by whom?), or is Jund the true calling (lead by Adun Oakenshield or Xira Arien)?
Evan Ortiz
Will you guys stop jacking this dude off? He's posted this "le randumb fun orkz!!!11!1!!" list every fucking thread. He probably made the OP question just so he could shoehorne it in here again.
Joseph Murphy
>In every thread I made it literally a week ago.
Brody Edwards
I advise for Jund. There's a few neat blue things from Kamigawa, but I don't think they're worth diluting the deck. You'll get plenty of support in Jund as it is.
Nicholas Phillips
One guy asked for the list, so he posted it. No harm in that, honestly.
In the meantime, post em
Brody Ramirez
claw of progress. good name for marath though
fantastic
Parker Rivera
I've played Soraya bird populate deck. It's like Birdemic or The Birds, just make birds and swarm the enemy.
Sebastian Robinson
>one guy He asked himself for the list. More than likely you asked yourself for the list.
Benjamin Hall
Fair point, although I'm really only considering adding like 2 blue guys, and they combo with stuff I already have (Amulet of Vigor, Stone-Seeder, Storm Cauldron). But definitely a great point, the theme will probably be all over the place if I try to force more colors.
You can keep calling samefag all you want, it's only making you look stupid.
Tyler Jones

Austin Sanchez
Naw, I don't really care about that list. I never played WH40K so I don't really get the attraction. But other people do, so there's not really any harm in it.
Chase Thompson
Do you still have your slobad list? I got invited to a more competitive group, so I want to have a deck that can take it when I play with them.
Mason Robinson
This is the first post I've made in this thread.
William Evans
Hey did Kozilek always had those eyes in his armpits?
Also nice design, seems viable. Just beware of the people who can't even see a custom card without sperging like a motherfucker
Alexander Ortiz
I never put the thing on tappedout, but I remember most of the strong interactions I had in the deck. I can type all that up if you like, like a mini-primer or something. Otherwise, a lot of my deck was inspired by these two lists:
I've got plenty of partially built ideas but these are either playing or soon to join the rotation.
Blake Wilson
That's pretty funny, how viable is it though?
Jack Mitchell
SECONDARY THREAD QUESTION: When do you think we'll see 4-color generals again? What do you think they'll do?
Jack Kelly
>0 Boros commanders
Nathan Reed
hopefully never
Jace Thomas
Currently brewing Brion Stoutarm actually! That and Dralnu, since I don't play Blue/Dimir at all.
And yeah, until I looked more into Brion, I never really saw the Boros folks as interesting. Everything is combat or a meme (see: Depala, Brion), but I'm learning to love Brion so we'll see if that changes.
Justin Gomez
Current rotation: >Voltron/Stax Swings hard and fast. Resource denial isn't implemented until late game. >Counterspells Very rarely wins, or even aims to win.

I don't know about proper 4C. Their 'best foot forward' was already full of stapled or dull effects, even though some were quite potent. If they do go there, I'd want to see legendary named Nephilim with callbacks to their originals (so, "Whatshisface, Dune-Brood Progenitor" would make Sand) and a UBRG omnidisciplinary mad scientist. Maybe it's the thread edition but I think of UBRG and I want to use my Simic, Izzet, and Skaberen together.
I'm looking forward to getting a few more partners, though. Hopefully the next batch will be, say, one of each allied pair and two of each monocolor. The former of which would open up more 4c options. They have to be careful expanding that mechanic, though.

I wish they would do stuff like pic related, there's a cycle someone made before C16 with very good card design.
Andrew Rogers
Probably would be better with Convoke and Conspire, replicate just pushes it over the top into downright silly.
Cooper Brown
You still need to pay for the extra replicate copies, I think it's p fair. Between trying to generate a lot of tokens and casting big spells you will need to pay mana for whatever degenerate thing you wanted.
