Thread Question(s): You have been selected by Sheldon to make THREE(3) changes to the banlist. Each change meaning you can ban or unban something. 1 card per change. What do you change?
Ban Mana Vault Ban Mana Crypt Unban Prophet of Kruphix
Thomas Young
Ban Laboratory Maniac Ban Doomsday Ban Ad Nauseam
William Moore
Ban Sol Ring Ban Mana Crypt Ban Cyclonic Rift
It's really obvious.
Jonathan Fisher
Ban Forests Ban Islands Ban Swamps
Cooper Cruz
Ban Iona Ban grindstone Unban Painter's servent.
Landon Wood
seconding this

>You have been selected by Sheldon to make THREE(3) changes to the banlist. Each change meaning you can ban or unban something. 1 card per change. What do you change? Ban: Sol Ring Ban: Mana Crypt Unban: Biorhythm
Kayden Russell
What deck convinced you to pull the trigger on buying cards you really should have bought earlier?
My brother decided to finally buy a Wheel of Fate in anticipation of The Locust God.

>Ban a 9 mana card >Ban a discard card in a 100 card format
u fockin wot
Angel Brown
>Ban Cyclonic Rift complete srubtown
Asher King
the combo is painte's serv + grindstone they were retarded and banned the wrong half of the combo I agree with this whole heartedly but only had 3 slots so i didnt go that route
Joseph Wright
Painters Servant + Grindstone mills someone totally. Painters Servant + Iona keeps people from casting entirely. He wants to play Painters Servant but realizes that it's dumb with those cards.
Chase Cox
Ban Warp World Great Aurora
Unban >pic related
Jacob Bell
Ban Foodchain Ban Labman Ban Mana Vault
Christopher Thomas
Panter's servant and grindstone = mill an entire deck. Iona and painter's Servent = lock everyone but you out of the game. Painter's servent has a weird effect that's fun to play with. Grindstone is useless outside of the combo and Iona is the "unfun" they claim to be banning that punishes decks for playing monocolor, when they already get punished for being monocolor.
Hudson James
>Labman tfw its 70% of cEDH decks main wincons >Foodchain ftw its damn near the other 30% yeah... that is something that needs to be considered
Henry Lopez
Yeah, takes out most of the combo quick kills with those two. Karador and Ghave can still manage to go off, as can Selvala. Yidris, Breya, and Jeleva storm can use Aetherflux/Tendrils instead of Lab Man, stax decks like Derevi and GAAIV would be okay, Yisan, Tasigur, Gitrog, Edric, Sidisi...
The real problem is that it hardly hurts Teferi at all. He should be the third ban, not Mana Vault. Or the Chain Veil.
William Peterson
UNBAN everything. Come at me.
Michael Brooks
i'm ok with this
Jack Hernandez
>He should be the third ban no just ban crypt teferi is completely fine
Easton Diaz
>Blue: The Artifacting
Ayden Morales
They're never, ever banning the face commander of a precon, and Chain Veil isn't an issue outside of that deck.
Grayson Nguyen
But this is happy funtime land where I can pretend they might.
Michael Hill
its not even an issue in the deck its just a standard win condition
Noah Taylor
Counterargument: Ban everything.
Leo Russell
Ban Cyclonic Rift Ban Derevi Unban Recurring Nightmare
Julian Edwards
>how to tell the whole world how dumb you are in one post
Nolan Morgan

Austin Rodriguez
Unban everything. Bring back banned as commander. Add Leovold to banned as commander.

Anyone wanna help me with my Breya list? I want to avoid fast combo for the sake of my playgroup and I'm looking to play midrange control. Recently added Winter Orb and Tangle Wire because I didn't have a good enough answer to UGx ramp decks. tappedout.net/mtg-decks/18-06-17-breya-edh/

>really want to build around locust god >noone at my lgs plays EDH >buy snapcasters and a playset polluted deltas instead
Fucking suffering.
Aaron Lewis
Shouldn't Vintage and Legacy be switched? People actually play Legacy.
John Kelly

Evan Wright
>Fate >not Fortune
Grayson Young
That is the one that I meant, I just had a momentary stupid.
I feel like they already were switched. I'm pretty sure I've seen versions that were reversed.
Andrew Reyes

Isaiah Hill
Just put in the password you silly. It's right there in the OP.
Justin Johnson
I thought the point was satarizing the various formats through the eyes of Spikes drawn by an obvious "Spirit of EDH" lover (who, themselves, want to actively keep Spikes out of 'their format')
Have I been completely wrong this whole time? What IS the point then?
Brody Ward
>not sleeving all of your cards identically >not palming your Mana Crypt to the top of every deck
Jacob Carter
The point is it's a joke.
Jason Reed
at the time, i considered vintage to be the apex of spikism. the fact that no one plays it didn't really matter to me, it just seemed like the format for the sweatiest and most committed MTG players
Blake Nguyen

Give this man Sheldon's job. Right. Now.

Xavier Ward
I top all of my meals with shredded copies of The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale. It really brings out the flavor.
Isaiah Carter
user please, they only extend games. I have a local player who has deck that uses warp world as a boardwipe over and over again.
Nathaniel Morris
That's a problem with the player, not the card.
Michael Harris
Have you tried caviar served on copies of Mishra's Workshop?

>In my LGS everyone is either autist or cancer tier >Try to adapt to have a chance >Done with it for a while >Go to another LGS >Fucking stomp the floor with everyone.
>I just like to play for the experience >w-winning isn't everything guys >I actually like tapping and untapping my wide ass field >not having decks at different power levels I got a sedris that t3 kills 80% of the time if no one has a quick counterspell, with all of the big baller manarocks. I also have a Dragonlord Silumgar deck that only wins via the easily stoppable Drake Blink Infinite Mana, stealing all your shit or resolving a beefy ass Living Death (with shit ass mana rocks). If you don't have a deck for Tippity Top Tier, 75% and Battlecruiser Metas, you're doing EDH wrong.
Blake Collins
No, I haven't found a good supplier. My favorite indulgence, of course, is a massage with a paste of original dual lands.
Nathan Roberts

story of my life for last 6 months
Brody Roberts
Hm, Grixis colors. 9 mana red is Blasphemous Act, doesn't tell us much, 8 mana black could be an Avatar of Woe, could be Army of the Damned, maybe even Myojin of Night's Reach? I'm thinking either Nicol Bolas or Sedris.

Correct on both counts. Doesn't help that I posted my decklist and asked for advice not too long ago.

>proxying thran dynamo and other 7$ cards that go into several decks to save money sorry I don't have money to piss into the wind on this wacky format for a children's card game
Nicholas Ramirez
Skip a meal poorfag, I don't have time to sit around while your broke ass swaps cards.
James Foster
you dont need 7 dollar rocks in edh
my group saves so much money collectively by not getting into that manabase arms race
Daniel Gonzalez
The point is that you don't need those rocks because the format isn't and shouldn't be taken seriously, you fucking goon.
Matthew Morris
Any spicy cards I should pick up for Rafiq of the Many before game day?
Landon Diaz

Josiah Powell

Chase Smith
Steel of the Godhead and Retether.
Jeremiah Hall
This shit here, I have 4 decks all of differing power and all are fun as hell to play. I only have 5 duplicate cards ignoring lands so it also makes it so each deck is unique and fun while also having a measured powerlevel.
Michael Perry
>playing thran dynamo and caged sun means I take this format seriously
what did he mean by this?
Josiah Allen
So if you don't take it seriously then why do you care to have a Dynamo in every deck?
Colton Cox
>Caged Sun We're talking about good rocks, user.
Lucas Nguyen
>playing ramp and EDH staples that add consistency to your deck is demonstrative of not taking it seriously
He meant you are being a tryhard, but a lazy tryhard.
Thomas Torres
because I play mono colored decks that aren't green?
