I fucking love Azusa as a general, having a on-demand exploration effect is some wonderful bullshit, no one bothers killing her either because no one gives a fuck about dealing with mono-green when there's bigger dicks on the table.

Let me re-ask a question from the last thread - never enough replies
Is there any decent way to upgrade pic related on budget with recently released cards? My friend wants to start playing EDH with me and my gf and we all want to pick C17 decks - upgrading cats and vampires decks seem to be preaty easy but I have no idea what he should do with this one. I mean I see that the mana-base needs some reorganization but how?
Also are there any good edh tutorials for newbies? Not strategies or competitive deckbuilding - just how to play and do's and don'ts

Go heavy green and use a lot of spells that search basic lands into play.

Jordan Campbell
Time Spiral was a weird time to be alive.
Lincoln Cooper
Lean heavily into Green. Mana fixing that can grab lands by type, such as Nature's Lore, Farseek, and Skyshroud Claim coupled with even cheap dual lands like the BfZ lands or even Amonkhet's cycle lands can go a long way. You're really only splashing W/U, so a strong R/G center can get you most of the way there.
Play the Signets and Talismans that support your main colors too.
Jackson Diaz
Heavy(est) green to add in ramp and fixing, heavy red since thats most your dragons/lord effects, sprinkle in favorites afterwords. Non-dragons I'd include are xena-god to make those hits hard and heavy. Bowers passage for basically unblockable on your dragons. And decent of the dragons as removal or to "upgrade" mana dorks for late game.
Mana base is the killer there though as it needs a lot of love just to play smoothly before you even start swaping cards in the meat and potatoes of the deck.
Anthony Smith
I'd recommend throwing in some good 5-color goodstuff. Things like Cascading Cataracts, Crystal Quarry, Maelstrom Nexus, Conflux, etc. Also Haste cards, like Fervor, so you can swing for that 10/10 flying when Ur Dragon drops.
The Bringers from 5th Dawn work really well, too. Main ones being the Black and Blue bringers.
I'd make sure to cut any dragons that cost more than 2 of any single color to play (like Scourge of Valkas) along with dragons that just cost a lot of color symbols in general, unless they do a lot (like Niv Mizzet, or O-Kagachi,they don't do much).
And as and said, lean green and make sure to add some good mana ramp. Skyshroud Claim works great if you get all the half-green Shocks, since they'll count as forests.
Nolan Jenkins
I wouldn't be so sure. The priests also wore that shit.

Is there any way to search on Gatherer/Magiccards.info for cards that were originally printed in Commander products, ignoring any reprints in them?
Henry Bell
Zenith for 18?
Brody Kelly
Advanced search, search by set. Gatherer will also show other printings in the right side of the screen, but that shouldnt matyer either way.

>Thread Question: What legends do you think are better in the 99 of somebody else? Hokori, dust drinker Nylea, God of the Hunt Purph

Mono red can't search purph nor can mono white search hokori, having general access to either lets you build your whole deck around them in peace.
Noah Hill
>Be Johnny >Green doesn't ever get artifact love shit so this pops out at me I'm thinking like the original Glissa, artifact control (liquametal coating + splinter is bae) with some green stampede effects. any cool shit you all are thinking of?
Luis Sanders

Evan Collins
>Not Johnny/Jenny Try not to be so problematic next time ;^)
Not that user, but nowhere in the question did it say they had to be of the same deck color(s). Overall I'd say they were right though. All those seem better as tech/alt wincons rather than at the head of the deck.
Logan Cooper
>Playing those in mono colours Not part of the question. Throw Purphorous in a boros, jund or other token heavy deck for more value than just him. He also works better as part of the 99 in Krenko if you're monored.
Hokori is similar. Use green to untap your lands or unwinding clock+Mycosynth if that's your thing.
Brayden Gray

Carson Hughes

On the one hand, that combo is easier in other decks. On the other hand, all those pieces work well independently in Edgar.
Aiden Murphy
Missed out on there being a new thread.
Suggestions for mairsil deck? obviously I havnt upgraded the instants/sorcery much from the precon.
yeah, I'll see how it goes and if it doesn't work out I can always replace curio/altar with some of the new ixalan vampires.
Jason Perry
When I search for all cards in Commander 2011, I still get stuff like Acidic Slime that was first printed in M10
That exceeds the character limit
Jonathan Cook
(e:c17/en or e:c16/en or e:c15/en or e:c14/en or e:c13/en or e:cmd/en) -is:reprint
Try that. I didn't actually look through it to be certain, but it should do.
Joshua Gutierrez
You can see on the right the rest of the sets its been in. Just look for the ones with just the commander symbols.
Brayden Evans
Also, pay close attention to the cards shown. The site runner seems to have fucked up somehow and random cards in C17 are showing up as other cards.
Julian Murphy
real talk why arent you playing yidris yet?
Tyler Edwards
I'm building it now. What's some spicy tech? Especially on the cheap. Also, what direction? I was looking at just getting a lot of value from bigger spells. Ramp up to Yidris then cast something big and get a few free things off it.
I've put in some stuff to give Yidris double strike for double cascade.
Tyler Young
Because someone actually has to let me connect which never happens, I'd rather play Wanderer, at least there I get value just by casting the sucker.
Benjamin Gray
if you build oviya let us know. she did work at the kaladesh prerelease for me. it was my first ever prerelease event so she holds a special place in my heart
Thomas Green
-is:reprint did it, thanks. Didn't know that one existed and it's not in their list of syntax either
>sifting through 300 cards per commander set when only 50 of them are actually new No thank you
Ian Clark
if you are doing more a battlecruiser style (aka correct fun) instead of a low to the ground storm deck (aka incorrect fun) id include this guy
Brandon Reyes
>battlecruiser style (aka correct fun) You're what's wrong with this game.
Juan Cox
who's your favorite UB/x commander and why?
Dominic Jenkins

Levi Price
/edh/, I've been wondering what combo could absolutely wipe an entire opponent deck off the table - i.e. exile his whole hand, board, graveyard and library. No grudge, just a thought experiment. What's the minimum amount of cards and colors that can achieve this?
Brody Rodriguez
Dino jelly because I fucking love reanimator strategies.
Forgot about that guy. I've gotit in another deck, may swap them around. It's been tested in just about every black deck I try.
Brody Garcia
Sen Triplets/Sharuum because I love artifact bullshit/taking my opponents atuff.
Cameron Stewart
Sygg, he's a low priority target, a solid value engine, cheap to play, isn't overtly broken/oppressive and he's a rogue.
Elijah Jackson
Tormods crypt + junktroller + tunnel vision + a creature with Worldender. Gets rid of everything except their hand. Cast windfall to kill them as they discard their hand and draw nothing. That's all in monoblue but not that much of a "combo"
Jose Carter
**stuff
Isaac Ortiz
Gisa and Geralf because zombie tribal.
Aaron Roberts
Junktroller+tunnel vision leaves them with a card to draw though
Henry Smith
Replace Worldender with Apocalypse but will cause you to discard your hand or use Decree of Annihilation (as it hits hands) but then your opponent may still have enchantments.
Maybe gift leveler somehow? Also, Sire of Insanity could help
Bentley Cox
>Maybe gift leveler somehow? Fractured Identity
Bentley Peterson
They'd draw 1 card, try to draw more and lose. It's close but not enough.
I assume you want them to have nothing but maybe still have a life total just for the fuck of it?

Knight is crazy, I usually fetch cradle and nykthos with it for an insane mana spike
Kayden Murphy
>actually having wrong opinions
Jose Rogers
I got it last week and swapped out a bunch of the crappy 5+ mana cards and useless dragons for a full set of signets. I get Scion of the Ur-Dragon out pretty consistently on turn 4, sometimes T3 and things get pretty fun from there (big daddy ur-dragon himself is my usual first pick to crap out whatever's cool in my hand)
If Scion is your commander, all you have to do is focus on getting him out fast with some sort of protection. Everything else just happens on its own.
Quicksilver Dragon and silumgar can be tutored in response to removal. I also run Steely Resolve, Swiftfoot Boots, Lightning Greaves, whispersilk cloak.
Primarily green, get all the 1 drop mana dorks and some ramp spells. Aggravated assault if you can still get them cheap because tutoring your scion into savage ventmaw when no one has a flier is the funniest thing since the spanish flu.
It's not a competitive deck, but god is it fun.
Jace Harris
>Implying that encouraging people to durdle around and not actually play the game, then whine when someone has some form of interaction in their deck is the only right way to play
Michael Miller
>Pirate tribal will barely be fun
I was thinking, instead of using a lot of pirates, I use some token generators and steal creature effects in Admiral Beckett and use things like Xenograft to make them pirates. Something like you conscript your opponents creatures into being in your crew.
I wish Beckett said that creatures you control are pirates though, that would have been extremely flavourfull.
Dylan Butler

tappedout.net/mtg-decks/stasis-frog/ Just put this together with what I have on hand, need some recommendations/cards to remove. Goal is to get Tomorrow and Possessed Portal down along with card draw like Arcanis, then win with Lab Maniac, or wait for my opponents to concede.
Hunter Myers
Ive been thinking about changing my jarad deck into a sidisi deck. What are some good blue cards to add? I was planning on putting in lab man, cyclonic rift, diregraf captain, wonder, gisa+geralf, and sultai ascendency
Camden Flores
Narcomoeba could be cute. Same with Fatestitcher and Kederekt Leviathan.
Oliver Gonzalez
itll be the same for dinosaurs. they will be fun on paper but the tribal elements are not strong enough to make them better than any other commander deck. just make them to have fun
Ryan Sanders
Need advice.
I've got some coworkers who I started playing commander with. Consistently its 3 other guys that play. Bottom line, two of the guys are really good friends and they always team up, unofficially. Its gotten to the point that our 4th guy doesn't want to play with them anymore because they ALWAYS team up. I played with them last week and for two games they refused to attack eachother other than love taps, and combo'd off eachother to target me. One guy is mostly neutral and plays very grouphugy but the other guy always goes full agro and targets anyone but his friend.
Heres my question, do I 1.) bring up how much bullshit that is and refuse to play with them if they keep doing that or 2.) spend $$$ on the most unfun misery enducing deck to fuck them both over? I felt so tired after the last session I just dont know what to do.
Grayson Gutierrez
stop playing with them. state the problem and say youll be skipping on your games. thats it. find other people to play with

Leo Hill
>It's not a competitive deck, but god is it fun That's okay, we are all newbies and C17s are our first decks. We just want to keep them balanced against each other and cat/vampire seem to be easier to upgrade with cheap and recently released cards than the dragon ones so I decided to do research here

Luke Johnson
1 mana per card is an excellent return and makes this a strong copy target. This could easily see play in more bombastic spellslinger strategies like Melek and Taigam.
