First for Gideon tribal

>Thread Question: Ixalan spoilers are happening! Are you excited? Why or why not?

Gideons on top of Gideons

copy all the Gideons!

They will errata all PWs as legendary.

Don't care how jank the deck will be, I'm building it.

>wont be worth it in any other format other than EDH
>EDH is one of the most popular formats
>atraxa super friends is the most popular deck in EDH
>PW are now legendary
>wizards does not reprint expensive cards
>already short supply

its literally the perfect investment, passing on sisay right now is literally like saying no to free money

You can still control multiple different named gideons though.

What does everyone use for testing decks? I use Forge, but it's buggy as fuck, and it's a pain updating it to get new cards. Any better programs out there? I basically just want to be able to play vs AI and have access to every card

And? You can still vomit 7 Gideons on the field, give yourself an unremovable "You can't lose," emblem, and turn them all into indestructible creatures.

Jace + doubling season = infinite jace.

Is that even good for anything other than making my opponents sick?

R8 my wife

Infinite 2/2s at least

Are planeswalkers permanents, could mill em out with altar of the brood ?

>Are you excited? Why or why not?
just opened my c17 deck
this was poor timing

why are simic commanders so disappointing? rashmi is the only one thats even mildly interesting and its just a good stuff deck at the end of the day

They are.
If you have one attacker you can filter through your entire deck.

man I bought a mirror gallery like a week ago for wizard tribal
now I wonder if I should just sell it

>tfw instead of being excited for each new set, you live in constant fear of what will Wizards fuck up next
Just stop releasing new sets, please

I mean
LEGENDARY
PLANESWALKERS

SHIEEEET

>PW are now legendary

I can't hold all these planeswalkers!

1 mana cheaper and she'd be too stronk.
She's perfect for mana dorks.dec

>ult jace the dunning fagaway

Here's another leak from the next set.

>atraxa super friends is the most popular deck in EDH
proof? and don't give me that tapped out shit since people fucking put their precons on their and it clutters up edhrec. Same with decks that have been dismantled.
>wizards does not reprint expensive cards
Its literally already been reprinted, and if you think 10 burgers is expensive you should be aware that they just reprinted miraris wake on friday.

Finally its just not that good. I would rather have a djeru in a superfriends deck because it finds me my shit the turn it comes down, rather than dying before i untap. In a sisay deck i would just avoid most PW anyway since i would be going for a paradox engine win.

So, so far my Reki deck suddenly became more superfriends-y and my black deck got a new bit of grave hate.

What other stuff are you guys planning with today's spoilers and/or confirmed card text from leaks?

I hope the one I ordered arrives. I needed it for Mairsil even before the announcement.

finally a commander bad enough to justify playing cancer.dek

Rakdos Charm.

I live in constant fear of what investors will buy out next.

>Gideon of the Gideon
>Gideon with Eyes Wide Gideon
>Grand Arbiter Gideon the Zillionth
>Gideon, hound of Gideon

oh ya, my bad i get the charms mixed up sometimes

>Eight-and-a-Half-Gideons

>proof
literally edhrec my dude

>Finally its just not that good.
for now it isnt that great but all future PW will be legends so it will only get better with time. its an investment friendo get in on it now before its too late and you are one of those fags whining about card prices in the future

>and have plainswalk

>Gideon's 1,000-Gideon March

>Jace + doubling season = infinite jace.

this might be a challenge for the gideons

>and don't give me that tapped out shit since people fucking put their precons on their and it clutters up edhrec
Oh yes, I forgot, "lots of people play Atraxa" is a more unreasonable claim than "Atraxa decks aren't real but all other decks are." Even if a third of Atraxa decks on tappedout were fake and no others were then Atraxa would still be the second most popular commander ever.

False Gideon

>Can't even read
>Thinks non-reserve list cards are worth anything

The two of these are definitely related

So what happens if Gideon becomes a creature and then you copy that creature?

Good thing my waifu is safe.

Ah, you're right. He probably needs to either say he becomes a legendary creature, or he's still a legendary planeswalker.

>non reserve list cards are not worth anything
>looks over at my foil goyf

>Notices your foil goyf

OwO what's this?

Future Sight or bust

Atraxa is cancer

I have something better

Whoops, almost got me.

>that flavor text
Card could've been so much more.

...

>the dinosaurs have feathers
Fuck yeah. They're looking nice.

>Looks at FTV: Has a foil goyf
>Looks at MM: this time goyf is only a rare
>Duel decks: goyf vs goyf
>Goyf 2, a better goyf to surpass metal gear and make all other goyfs worthless

Enjoy your "secure" investment user, I'll be sitting on a stack of foil grim monoliths and beta duals.

If you're allowed face-down cards on the field before I cast something, so am I

>planeswalkers are all legendary
does this kill the format? i don't want to play a planeswalker deck.

>WotC repeals the Reprint policy
>Investors lose the lawsuit
>FtV: Duals
>Duel Deck: Duals
>Stacks of dual lands in fat packs

I mean, if you're going to go the "WotC can't be trusted and they'll tank the secondary market like it's Yugioh" route, you might as well assume they'll go full retard with it.

>Playing Slobad, Goblin Mastermind vs not 1 but 2 Atraxa decks
>Have a handful of 2 CMC rocks
>Both Atraxa players tap out to play their commanders on turn 4
>I untap and cast Wildfire
burningwaifus.jpg

You will play Atraxa and you will like it, now go buy a doubling season and a sisay before the investors buy them all.

Don't worry user, you can always make a deck that goes infinite under turn 4

>voice of THUNDER
>not even red
Do they even care anymore?

What are some infinite combos in mono green ezuri?
>thread question
Does a bear shit in the woods? Motherfucking dinosaurs!

They can't be commanders without more rules changes on Sheldon's part.

The removal of the planeswalker uniqueness rule only affects Reki, Sisay, Empress Galina and like, Chandra or Gideon theme decks.

What if
Hold on
But what if
What if new packs had a tiny tiny (much less chance than lottery cards) to contain a reserve list card?

you know they're gonna do it at some point

Priest of Titania+Umbral Mantle/Wirewood Symbiote.

Concordant Crossroads, sac outlet, Nim Deathmantle, most elves.

>does this kill the format? i don't want to play a planeswalker deck.

do they magically turn into creatures?

No.

They can't be used as commanders, nothing will happen to the format

I love seeing these cEDH tryhards be blind to the rest of the world. MOST magic players are casuals.

In a cutthroat competitive game, Sisay is 4 mana and does nothing the turn she comes into play. She's not good there. In more relaxed games she survives longer and if you use her even just twice it's great value. Cutthroat EDH is fringe and the most spergy format, the players do not drive prices the way that the average players do. (Check the price of Laboratory Maniac)

>does this kill the format

Please explain what you mean. Do you also think that they are going to make all planeswalkers in to creatures instead too?

They did that in Zendikar.

>tiny tiny chance
Go die

>you know they're gonna do it again at some point

They already did you dingus, look up zendikars treasures.

They also didn't have to break the reserve list to do it.

cool, I didn't play magic at that point in time

I hope they do it again

>everyone else cracking ancestral recalls and dual lands
>you get a Kobold Overlord

Zendikar already did it

The way I see it, lighting must always be red, but thunderclouds (like a storm over an ocean) could be blue)

Glorious. I like that each of the 2016 commanders are vulnerable to all of the dualC-hate cards(sans Autumn Veil)

>The way I see it, babies must always be black, but the parents white
Not following you fampai.

>If you run removal in your decks its somehow a cEDH deck

I don't know how you are thinking I am talking about cEDH when i said fucking djeru is better, who costs more than sisay does.

I'm just used to playing the game with my opponents having removal. Do yours not?

I'm used to playing games where Sisay isn't the only creature worth urgently removing.

I'm equating the thunderclouds to be more like torrential rainclouds than a thunderstorm

>dies to removal

What commander should I run?
I have a pretty competitive 1v1 Zur deck, but it can't stand up to the group hate when I'm playing multiplayer with friends, and I'm killed off asap because of threat potential. What multiplayer deck should I build that is consistent and can defend itself against possible group hate?

Are those things like elesh norn, dirty mike, or vorinclex? Because if they are then thats why you aim for sisay before she can tap. Doing otherwise is bad threat assessment. Maybe you only play with other tards on the shortbus though. It would explain why we are having this conversation.

when there is an alternative that doesnt its a pretty compelling argument

I think it is the same with dimir, the color combo is so strong on it's own that they can't print anything too powerful or it would break the format

>tfw wizards reveals a 2 mana removal that lets you draw a card

>all the plens are wetting themselves over Sisay and Galina
>this new superfriends auto-include costs $0.07
Heh

Infinite Illusion Jace Bukkake. Liliana must be thrilled.

Everything above MP was already bought out on TCGPlayer and a playset of them is now $3 or $4 on eBay.

If you didn't already get them, the window is closing.

Can this be real? Please?

Mikaeus, Kaalia, Animar etc. At least Sisay doesn't combo off the whole table (or at least one player with Kaalia) within a single turn.

Life must be hell in burgerland where you can't enjoy the truly free market that is MCM

>superfriends slapping themselves with a spatula for extra mana

MCM isn't immune to buyouts.

FUCKING FLIP CARDS BECOMING STANDARD

FUCK

>At least Sisay doesn't combo off the whole table

Do you not know what paradox engine is? if you are playing a sisay deck i will absolutely kill sisay on site. She is more of a threat than kaalia.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

>jace clones spanking other jaces to get "mana"

Paradox engine is smalltime without mana rocks.

kinky

I'm ready for this. Time to dust off my childhood collection of Jurassic Park toys. They will make glorious tokens.

>She is more of a threat than kaalia
Kaalia is a threat because she can shit out a free Iona on turn 3.
If it's turn 8 and Kaalia still doesn't have a stoopid strong board then they probably never will.

>4/5 for 4 that draws you cards for basically existing
We're not powercreeping we swear!
