Daniel Hughes
Newer EDH player here. Is it worth preordering all 4 Commander 2017 decks for $110?
Joseph Murphy
I'd say that's more a problem with the Equip ability and less to do with Shroud. Suggest these if they need a way to get around it
Jayden Miller
I would only do that if I intended to play all 4, otherwise wait for release and buy the singles you want.
Connor Baker
"Forgetting" to pay taxes.
Caleb Lewis
I was considering it since my wife and brother in law want to play and I only have 1 EDH deck for now.
David Robinson
Man I really need to make that Tazri ADVENTURE deck
Camden Richardson
Rhystic Study triggers It might just stick out more because I am pretty lenient about letting people get triggers, and usually we remind each other off our triggers. All bets are off with rhystic though, card is way too annoying.
Jaxon Davis
I think it would be reasonable if you and a friend wanted to get into the format together and have a variety of decks to learn with or tweak.
>need more snake tokens for hapatra >50c each on TCG player >144 count of pic related on Amazon for $20 Should I go for it? I often need 30+ snakes

Not OP, but it's about sending a message. Also, post Hapatra list please
Benjamin Parker
wait i thought you were going to buy a 144 count of paper tokens, disregard , that's awesome. Our group has a bucket of tiny marine animals that we've all given different roles. The Wurmcoil Engine tokens are Deathtouch Dolphin and Lifelink Lobster
Aaron Morales
Nah, that seems obnoxious. I would rather have something I could easily see was tapped. You could sleeve up pictures of cute snakes though, I'm sure everyone loves seeing adorable noodles.
Alexander Powell
If you're planning on scalping or giving them to your friends, but they could do multiple print runs and make all the good cards tribal only to keep the price down. The Eminence ability all the commanders have is insane value that could break the game, the cat commander can shit out 5/4 turn one very reliably. I could see this infamous set being 300+ in a year if the commanders aren't banned or reprinted all to hell.
I'm probably going to buy a box, use one deck for myself, sell the chase one before the 2nd print run and give the other two to friends.
Dominic Johnson
because it's boring duh
i usually want to see the game progress and counterspells that just stop things from happening are lame af. the deck is durdly enough as it is so my instants should probably incur some clear advantage for me or at least be interesting
ya i have mind's dilation
i also want to keep the shitty instant tribal going on
i guess the deck is pretty much done then, probably going to order the cards soon
Cameron Hall
I've never liked using counters to represent a quantity of tokens, as it's pretty common for the deck to put +1/+1 and -1/-1 (to a lesser extent) counters on my snakes.
tappedout.net/mtg-decks/t-o-x-i-c/ Still far from complete, but it's working pretty well so far. Among other things, I need a Westvale Abbey and Dusk Urchins.
>Lifelink Lobster Love it
Noah Martin
I would love this. I just hope you have a big table
Jaxson Myers
Are you prepared to be disappointed by Edgar Markov's card?
After Ludevic and seeing the Ur-Dragon abilities I have very little faith.
Xavier Carter

I probably permanently damaged my relationship with one of my closest friends to win a casual cardgame, but holy fuck that was the best game of Magic I ever played.
Turning the smug smile on someone's face into a frustrated grimace is the meaning of this wonderful game.
Michael Sanders
me no like counter counter is only for slow game me never play blue ooga booga
stop posting please
Logan Jackson
I'm doing a 5 color angel deck with Progenitus at the helm.
I'd probably say that Bruna and Archangel Avacyn would be interesting to build around.
Liam Campbell
did the chad RG player steal your boyfriend away from you or what
Leo Rivera
i wish leage babies would leave
Logan Richardson
I am a RG player and I still understand that counters are not just for "slowing the game down"
kill yourself you absolute retard
Nicholas Miller
how have craterhoof and obelisk spider been for you?
Blake Harris
I just got a $1,000 bonus, what deck should I build? I have no EDH deck and have never played before.
Ethan Young
Counterspells don't just stop things from happening though, they protect your commander and other shit while you continuously gain value, drawing cards and casting free spells
Chase Ross
figured out what you want to be doing with your deck, buy a pre con to learn the format, then build a real deck once you have the hang of politics and a better grasp on how a 4 person game flows
Jaxson Phillips
I don't understand this kind of question. How could you not have any idea what you want to build? I don't understand the concept of wanting to play edh but not having any ideas floating around on what to build, and I don't understand wanting other people to decide your personalized deck. More than half the fun of edh for me is building decks and theorizing.
Owen Russell
Aren't the precons much worse than just doing research before building a deck myself?
Joseph Rogers
The precons are like instant ramen. By itself, it's okay but you can use it as a base to make something good.
Tyler Brown
It's probably just overwhelming to get into a format as large as EDH starting out with nothing.
Christopher Miller
I guess I want to just shit the whole deck out. Maybe starting with Academy Rector into Omniscience into Enter the Infinite, etc., etc.
Justin Barnes
if you have never played the format and dont understand how to properly build a 100 card deck, it is a good way to learn the format before dropping money, especially the newest ones
Ryder Clark
Hi.
I'm currently building a Zada deck, but I'm a little confused with how spell copies interact with Zada.
How do spell copy effects interact with her? For example I cast Expedite on her, and copy it with Dualcaster Mage, do I get double value or not? I ask because the card text specifies that whenever you CAST a spell.
Gavin Fisher
That's a great start, you can do lots with that, in fact all 4 of my decks essentially have that as the gameplan, all though one of them also has a more traditional combo in Kiki conscripts
Jacob Lewis
You should build Hyperbudget Edric Flying Men before sinking several hundred dollars into something you've never done before.
Austin Gomez
Try Karador Hulk, or Tymna+Thrasios Hulk.
Carson Campbell
has to be cast and has to be cast FROM HAND and can ONLY target zada
Xavier Young
Teehee, OP, you seemed to have forgotten the Discord info. Here it is:
Don't beat yourself up about it though. Just try to be less forgetful next time.
Lucas Perez
Are there any good wincons for self-mill besides Lab Maniac?
Specifically in WU.
Chase Jenkins
Shelldock Isle into a fatty.
Josiah Garcia
That's good. Now like 10 more wincons and I'll be all set.
:)
Juan Thompson
it just had to be cast not copied not from hand you dumbass
Elijah Robinson
What commander are playing that's self mill in WU? The new enbalm guy?
Jace Evans
If I hit someone for 21 with Marath's ability, does that count as the commander damage to kill someone or is it only damage from swinging that counts?
Brody Murphy
why do people give a fuck about that little kid that appears at every GP? is she a player?
Kayden Watson
bruna
Daniel Hall
ONLY combat damage counts as commander damage.
Matthew Diaz
commander damage is combat only
David Watson
commander damage is combat damage
Elijah Martin
5 color good stuff
Anthony Robinson
So Bruna.
Noah Smith
Ignore the other guys, he's a big gay faker.
My idea was a Hanna self-mill deck, taking advantage of cards like the blue curses to focus on filling the graveyard with enchantments to fuel things like Open the Vaults and Starfield of Nyx, or just to recur things with Hanna herself.
Connor Ross

Adam Diaz
Grouphug. They always try to be mastermind politicians but 9/10 times they can't see their inevitable betrayal coming because they won't stop helping the biggest threat on the board.
>Why would you attack me unprovoked like that user? Aren't I giving you free cards :^(
Ayden Torres
Most likely. I found it here on Veeky Forums. Just imagine the faces of people seeing you put down 25 weird rubber sex snake pictures. I think it would be great.
Sebastian Miller
Ludvic can be made really good for Izzet playstyles. A friend of mine uses him as perfect utility. Where as Ur-Dragon seems like great theming/flavor and allows the deck to be better for Dragons at 5 colors. I'm sure Edgar will be better than the Cat Avatar at least.
Mason Adams
I'm pretty hard to tilt, but Rhystic Study gets me every time.
There's always the one fucker who doesn't respect it and ends up making it a 3 mana draw 10.
Blake Sullivan
Except Jori En will be giving you the same "utility" and not giving it to your enemies.

John Myers
Play Teferi = People cannot play spells. Copy it = People cannot play their own spells.
Joshua Lopez
run it in jihoria because it says "from hand"

Cloudstone curio is essentially the wincon of my enchantress deck. Let's me draw and play my whole deck

Craterhoof is amazing, Spider is still in testing
Jonathan Roberts
WOTC cashing in on that furry market.
Carson Carter
are you also on derevi enchantress, friend?
Jayden Garcia
I had uril enhantress before and it was great, ended up not liking how I could only kill one person at a time outside the infinite combat thing, so I decided to go bant pillow fort prison enchantress, but then I decided prison decks aren't that fun either and i just end up stalling until somebody owns me with all is dust or ugin, so I switched to bant combo enchantress, and now I've got a very high winrate. I was amazed at how much more often I win despite cutting objectively good prison cards like Rest In Peace and ghostly prison in favor of more land enchantments and land untapping tech
The deck just makes an absurd amount of mana
Nolan Reyes

Easton Williams
anyone have a really fun animar decklist? Just something I can use and start customizing
Evan Hill
Yessir
She does a great job untapping lands I enchanted with utopia sprawl and such
Jack Richardson
I'm playing Marath enchantress, not as strong as it could be (missing stuff like Xenagos, Doubling Season, Purphoros etc) but it's frustrating when I durdle for 5 turns then get one-shotted for having a true conviction and no creatures
I didn't want to have infinite combo stuff because I didn't want to be "that guy" but I've realized that everybody just has infinites in EDH
>mfw I realize I can run RIP-Helm in my deck
Noah Phillips
Is it worth it to put Collective Voyage and Tempt with Discovery in my 5C enchantress deck? The first few turns for the deck are always it's weakest, so being able to skip them basically isn't a bad deal.
Chase Jenkins
How do you want the deck to play? If you want a stax/hatebear strategy, Linvala is probably the best. If you're going tron, wAkroma works pretty well. And if you wanna go hard on the aggro, Aurelia or Gisela are good options and give you access to another color.
If you say "angel tribal" I'm leaving
Leo Ward
>Play Teferi = People cannot play spells. Explain because I'm a tard
Jaxson Johnson
Sounds like your table needs a stax deck.
Run Strangle Hold, Aven Mindcensor, Stony Silence, Torpor Orb and Jester's Cap if you want to shit all over combo fags.
Kayden Rodriguez
Teferi, Mage of Zhalifar >Each opponent can cast spells only any time he or she could cast a sorcery. That means it must be that player's turn, during a main phase, and the stack must be empty. If you have Knowledge Pool then the spell is exiled, but the replacement spell would be cast with it still on the stack. This means that they cast a spell, it's exiled, and Teferi prevents them from casting the replacement.
Colton Cook
...
Jaxon Gutierrez
Teferi says you can cast spells only any time you could cast a sorcery, which means, only during your main phase and only if there are no spells or abilities on the stack.
When you cast a spell while knowledge Pool is on the battlefield, that spell is exiled and the ability prompts you to cast another of the exiled spells. To cast that spell would be to cast it during the resolution of the knowledge Pool ability, but if it's still resolving then it's still on the stack, so the stack is not empty, and you cannot cast it
Teferi also stops suspended spells for the same reason, they would be cast during the resolution of the suspend triggered ability
Leo Cooper
Anything they cast from hand gets exiled, then Teferi stops them from being able to cast a spell out of the pool. It's a hard lock unless they have something on board or in the command zone to get out of it
Ian Bailey
So, I need your help Veeky Forums. Ijust bought the commander anthology for like 140 maple bucks,and I was wondering which deck should I finetune first between Derevi and Freyalise/Titania
