Ethan Wood

Alright, since you clearly have autism and have some weird boner for making OPs, let me give you a couple tips.
>1) Choose an interesting question. This is harder than it sounds, you're going to want to pick something that everyone wants to reply to, or that could generate positive discussion. I usually choose something thematic with the edition, and that requires an in depth response. Asking a one sentance question about group memes is stupid, no one really cares, but asking who everyone's favorite beater is, or a time a rube goldberg combo actually worked tends to solicit good discussion. The best discussion comes from getting people to talk about their decks or colour preferences.
>Edition Pick a good edition title. Something short, something sweet, and something to the point. If you can make it relate to the thread question, cool. If you can also make it relate to something that was discussed in the previous thread, double cool. You've already started putting actual magic cards as your OP image, which helps people find this general.
>Bump Limit Make it at exactly 315 posts. If you make it early, you're an attention whoring fag, like you were last thread. If someone else does it, accept that they're just petty silly people with no life.
There you go, now people might not think you discord fags are giant fags, just regular fags.

My commanders, probably. My friends don't run joke commanders. Neither do I, but I'm much more willing to run trash.

Samut is the current meme in my group.
So does Mairsil only have the activated abilities while he's on the battlefield? Or are they present in any zone he's in? Pic related

Only on the battlefield.

I just got 160$ in store credit. I'm brewing a MonoW Cat/Equipment deck for when the new precons are out. Any suggestions on monowhite staples and Equipment that I should get? I already own all the Mirrodin Swords and the usual goodies like Skullclamp and Greaves.
Jace Cruz
Scroll Rack, Land Tax, Tithe, Enlightened Tutor, Idyllic Tutor, Memory Jar, Steelshaper's Gift, Stoneforge Mystic, and Sun Titan are all good staples for smoothing out the issues with Mono-W
Carter Torres
Landtax?
Christopher Murphy
What cards would you be able to successfully wish for, /edhg/?
Adrian Nelson
8.5 is a fox, but it's in flavor and good for protecting your stuff.

Blood costs a single B, Wrath has a CMC of 4.
Luis Evans
Do you get angry when people post reaction images?
Ryan Turner
yeah but in an animar deck its not like they wont have more than one creature out on any turn other than turn 2/3 or right after a wrath
Blake Brooks
>You can ask whatever you want without posting them oh shit its the cyber police! Protect the Lolis!
Landon Scott
I actually made that custom card. Can we not have some dumb argument? I can already tell this is gearing up to one.
You have to know that not responding would end things faster.
You have to know you're goading So, both of you being aware this is going to go nowhere productive, wouldn't it just be possible to stop right now?
Joshua Powell
I'm not angry, I'm disgusted.
Reaction images are fine, as long as you are not avatarfagging.

This is why we have multiple mtg threads. To prevent stuff like this from happening.

Of anything that could come out of the custom card threads, some silly uncard really seems like probably the tamest possibility.

I played and loved him in French about a year back, but the paper meta around me died and I have no intention of playing online. Not sure if he's better or worse now that life totals have changed, or with the online banlist.

I mean, technically, did ask him a question. You're probably right that nobody cares though.

I think they are being sarcastic. That volcano looks like it came straight from an old DC comic, or screencapped from an old TV show.

>Go over to a friends house last night to watch the new GoT episode with them (I don't watch it, I was mostly there just to hang out with them and make Blue Eyes White Dragon jokes) >Brought a few Commander decks with me because I proposed the idea of coming over to my place and playing the C17 decks out-of-box this weekend >One friend is familiar with Commander but hasn't played in a while >The other two are super big into Hearthstone and have little to no familiarity with MtG >Game is progressing at a snails pace because of having to explain combat, how tapping works, keyword abilities ("Haste works like Charge", etc) and card combos >Constant remarks on stuff like "Dude lands are fuckin dumb" and "I like Hearthstone better because how automated everything is" >By turn 6 everyone decides to scoop because it was getting late, one had to catch a train home, and the others wanted to watch the new Rick and Morty episode
One of the Hearthstone dudes was catching on at least, like he was getting the basics and beginning to see card interactions (Like Horizon Chimera and having the Monarch token, or Rashmi+Paradox Engine+Rocks) but I doubt that sold them on MtG compared to how much they ride their dicks on Hearthstone.
I just wanna play with the friends I've known since 5th grade and not just the guys I barely know at my LGS.
Alexander Bell
Mtg's greatest strength over Hearthstone is janky combos and interesting interactions, so definitely try to show them more of that. Don't make aggro or midrange decks because those are too similar.
Dylan Moore
gas the normies
Elijah Reyes
this is the commander thread, you guys are the normies
Leo Green
Kemba in my local meta
Joseph Hall
Bump limit is 310. Thanks for the laugh.
Dylan Lee
Building mimeoplasm infect with combos such as Blighted Agent + Deaths Shadow, or Spinebiter + Phyrexian Dreadnought. Is this considered a shitty thing to do in most metas? I know infect is pretty widely hated at least, not sure if a novel approach to it will lessen that
Blake Mitchell
I have a list I've been refining for some time. I can link the list just given general pitfalls with the deck or strats to keep in mind.
Description says general things to keep in mind but if you have specific questions about what I've found or why I removed a card feel free to ask.
Carter Edwards

Asher Hall

That's not even remotely what he said and if you're trying to imply that standard and modern have archetypes with much more identical decklists than builds in commander then you are wrong.
Josiah Jackson

Henry Wood
Hes saying normies netdeck
Grayson Martinez
Not OP. How long do you have to of been browsing before it becomes your responsibility to make the thread? how autisic do you need to be to qualify
>Thread Question: >What commander is the biggest meme in your meta? Our biggest meme is we have a "new" player who has been playing since april and he always tries to take shit back. I've been telling hime since may that he has to stop and won't let him. Took the restof the group a while to get on board. Now we just make fun of him when he does it and will "take back plays" that fuck him really hard.
That and 10 or 7 card start.

Christian Jackson
Is Jhoira any fun to play? I have seen some people here in the past complaining about how unfun she is playing with/against
Daniel Foster
what are ya? fucking retarded?
Jeremiah Thompson
You need to show them the more interesting interactions with lands, creature abilities and eccentric enchantments. You have to understand that these people are coming from a game where card design is so fucked they have to abbreviate their own keywords to make it fit on the card.
>muh sekrit club
Reminder that there's a little bit of normie in everyone
Thomas Rodriguez
Im not the one claiming that you cant net deck a commander list
Cooper Campbell
Like everything, it depends
suspend big fucking dude + obliterate when it's about to hit the battlefield isn't really fun, is it?
spellslinging big, expensive things? alright I guess
Benjamin Long
You're not looking hard enough
Nathaniel Parker
Suspending an Omniscience or Eye of the Storm is fun. Suspending Jokulhaups and Ulamog is not.
Elijah Cook
Using online resources isn't netdecking and netdecking for commander doesn't lead to success and is not a prevalent. The same cannot be said for other constructed formats.
Joshua Reyes
yeah because commemeder isnt a competitive format
Jose Hill
neither am I dumbfuck its just not a rampant problem because edh is a big brain nigga format
Parker Wright
>Hearthstone and Rick and Morty Pleb friends, user.
Sebastian Price
netdecking isnt a problem

Would anyone please give me some feedback on this Inalla deck? There is a serious glut of cmc 3 spells and I need to trim the deck by 20 cards. tappedout.net/mtg-decks/inalla-wizards-discard/

Go away Desolator.
Aaron Flores
Take out every card worth $5 or more.
Jack Reed
Yeah I know, but they're still my friends. Sometimes it hurts putting on the pleb filter for them but I don't mind putting up with them. I just wish they'd try more adventurous stuff outside of their comfort zones once in a while.
Julian Morgan

Carter Perry

James Cruz
>bypassing half of the point of the game by letting someone else build your deck for you isnt a problem this is why draft and to a lesser extent sealed are the only real competitive formats
Leo Rodriguez
I already own these cards so I'm not going to do that. Sneak Attack is going to be amazing with Inalla's effect.
Jason Hill
its still outside of their comfort zones i mean shit at least mtg isnt just a guy fanning his balls while burping and farting >dude nihilism lmao
Jayden Hall
I'm more worried about your 4 and 5 drop slots being so packed. Look to drop at least 2-3 4 and 5 drops each and add in cantrips and draw spells like Ponder, Preordain, FoF, Cruise and Dig. If you have fetches you'll also want Brainstorm. You're missing Rakdos Signet and the RB and UB Talismans, which are really must haves, 2 cmc colored rocks are prime staples. Willbender is also great.
Jaxon Diaz
For them it sure fucking is. These are people who's favorite fighting games are Melee/Smash 4 and are afraid to go try Street Fighter or any other 2D fighter because Dragon Punch movements are too hard for them, who talk about Jojo memes whenever something tangently related pops up but stopped watching the anime after 2-3 episodes because they were wondering where the Stands were (Don't ask them to read manga, that's too much work for them), and who were excited to get GTAV on PS4 when they already bought it for PS3.
A card game where combat and mana isn't automated for them is already too much for them
Nathaniel Fisher
>A card game where combat and mana isn't automated for them is already too much for them
Isaac Howard
>First timers >Play EDH with them
I have 4 30-card monocolor decks with easy synergies (a bit more complex than the free welcome decks) and The also work with 2HG and free for all. So they are very versatile decks that I can use to teach people MTG.
I played EDH in a pod of 4 with a new dude (a friend brought him in EDH game night) and he borrowed one of my decks. I gave him the easiest and also the most powerful deck I had. Of course in the end I won the game because I am good at playing the game. All he said was "pay to win", as in saying that I won because of money cards.
Ethan Martinez
why would they play street fighter if they are playing melee? melee is the best fighting game of all time
Easton Richardson
yeah, its overweight men fanning out their ass at gps and lgs's
Cooper Powell
>Play this >Draw another one of itself >Repeat this several times >Draw Tendrils of Agony >Storm them to death
Get wrecked, scrubs.
Aiden Scott
Thanks. I'm trimming some 4 and 5 drops that seem like they would be low impact and need to get some talismans. A lot of the rocks were 3 cmc.
