No. I would rather buy powerful or effective cards instead of premium cards.

Julian Ramirez
Buy them boosters, anons.
Colton Hill
>Do you pimp out your deck? If so how? Not by most people's standards. I hate foils, so that rules out a lot of 'pimp' options. I pick basics that fit the theme of the deck, which is rarely full on 'pimp'. But I do generally get classic frame editions of cards if it's at all reasonably possible

Also, did you guys notice tappedout has an image export function now? Doesn't show the foil icon on the leftmost row though.
Alexander Hall
I'm foiling my Ayli somewhat, but of course, there's some cards I'll never get a foil of, such as my spicy secret tech that's still "on theme", which is cleric tribal. It forced Mayael player to scoop, since apparently it and Phyrexian Reclamation are 2strong4u wombo combo. Some of the cards in foil are outside of my budget or I don't care enough to get them, like Angel of Despair costs like 50 euros, but I'm satisfied with my signed copy.
Chase Cox
...
Asher Walker
With the off chance that this is not bait, how are good cards somehow not as thoughtful or flavourful as the bad ones? Good cards of goodstuff cards can still be flavourful and the deck can still function while being the fanfic deck you want it to be.
Nicholas Edwards
I've got the same deck and it's extremely expensive. I cut some corners like FBB Sol Ring instead of Beta and I don't think I'll ever buy foil Grim Monolith.
Leo Reed
t. spike
Alexander Allen
I got my foil grim monolith for $60, thank god.
Ayden Myers
>Enchantress What does that mean?
Easton Collins
Lots of creatures with enchantress in the name that draw a card when you play an enchantment. So basically an enchantment deck
Camden Cooper
bunch of enchantments, it can be incredibly powerful
Nathaniel Wilson
There is zero chance that it wasn't bait my man.

I won a game with it. You need protection for your Magnet Cat. Greaves, Boots, Cloak.
Matthew Barnes
>Do you pimp out your deck? If so how? I try to make my commander foil if possible and not too expensive and try to run full art lands. Don't aim for much more, but tend to play the foil versions of cards that I have already.
Cooper Nelson
you know you can build fun flavorful deck and a deck that can win at the same time right? its not build flavor or win. you can totally do both, its not hard
Julian Phillips
Leonin Shikari and Greaves means you laugh at targeted creature removal.
Xavier Torres
I bet you think it's okay to run Eldrazi and Phyrexians in the same deck, fagtron.
Connor Cook
>i will see your point and raise you an ad hominem
Jayden Russell
Wew, lad. Never seen that one before. Sure got me.
Austin Myers
Not him, but not an argument Dec.tec Obligatory I keep circling back to that thought. He's in the list I'm brewing anyway and may end up the commander - not sure yet
William Wilson

Does anyone here like altered art cards for EDH? Do you have any cards that you would like altered?
Brody Cox

Hudson Foster
R8 my Inalla Tribal list and give me some suggestions what I could add or alter in it.
Supposed to have a bit of a revival/recursion sub-theme and sac outlets. Feel like I could make more out of it with some "sacrificing matters" cards.
Leo Thomas
I've always wanted some alters but I don't know where to go to get them
Dominic Ramirez

Marath, Will of the Wild

Sidisi, Undead Vizier or Razaketh, the Foulblooded not sure which as either or could be the commander. I'm leaning Sidisi because her cmc is less. Teferi, Temporal Archmage
Nicholas Bennett
Why not both, and Crimson Wisps for good measure?
Joseph Miller
>autismo keeps back seat playing >will look at the next few cards someone is going to draw and tells them what they should/shouldn't do

What cards user?
Jose Ramirez
Another jank king Mairsil question guys. If I cage Dragon Arch with Mairsil, activate that ability, then respond to it by returning Mairsil to my hand, can I effectively blink Mairsil?
Also the once per turn rule, how do I work around it? Quicksilver Elemental works right? If I blink Mairsil does it get around the ability?
Ryder Phillips
Dumb question, but does this thing affect all players or only the guy who controls it?
Nathaniel Butler
>all spells >all >ALL What do you think, Einstein?
Jacob Jackson
read the card, it says ALL spells. Is something a spell? it now costs one generic mana less.
Luke Sanchez
I'm not a clever man. So it's global, gonna give it a skip then, not fond of grouphuggy stuff.
Parker Thompson
Wrath of God, Damnation, and similar board wipes can't kill indestructible permanents right?
Jose Rodriguez
"Destroy" can't kill Indestructible. -X/-X and exile cards can.
Ian Walker
>702.12b A permanent with indestructible can’t be destroyed. Such permanents aren’t destroyed by lethal damage, and they ignore the state-based action that checks for lethal damage (see rule 704.5g). What's with the retarded questions today?
Cameron Long
well, if you want something that only reduces the casting cost of your spells..
Dylan Peterson
A guy at my LGS was trying to argue that a Boros charm did nothing in response to his Armageddon so I wanted confirmation that he was retarded.
Justin Kelly
If torrential gearhulk lets me play an instant at no cost, but the instant has an X in its cost do I consider the X to be whatever I want?
Colton Kelly
Seems pretty cool, found these two while going through magiccards.
Jonathan Myers
0
Charles Gonzalez
X will be 0
Leo Gray
Nah, it's 0
Cameron Collins
so I'll have to tap some lands to get the X to get bigger right?
Camden Thomas
>50$ >40$
Thomas Kelly
You can't pay it.
Isaiah Price
the unstable lands would look so much better without the text box
Alexander Rodriguez
if you cast a spell without paying its mana cost, you can't pump more mana into it to increase X that's legends for you
Daniel Roberts
They're kind of shitty cards since by the time you have the 6 to cast them the discount is seldom useful, but I absolutley love the art on both those cards. Old magic art, that didn't have a theme to stick to, had a LOT of misses to be sure, but when it hits you get some seldom if ever recaptured mystical shit, modern art being too heavily guided to be that weirdly creative.
Benjamin Hernandez
Yeah, shit's from Legends. Pretty sure Gate is like 80$ on average.
Ian Wilson
Yeah, they're only good if you can abuse artifact ramp to cheat them out but if you could cheat them out you might as well have cheated something dangerous out instead of even more ramp.
Lucas Bell
fuck, now I can't do dominate shenanigans
Levi Cooper
You could still take control of an ornithopter.
Adam Smith
How many double strike dorks would you run in Sram?
Julian Ramirez
What are essential strategies within an agro EDH deck? Usually my EDH decks are rather slow and methodical, I'm looking into setting up a grixis deck that will be have a lot of 1, 2, and 3 cmc creatures that want to get in early and fast.
But I've never built a fast edh deck so can anyone give me some tips?
Noah Cooper
Don't do it. Fast aggro doesn't function in EDH. You can kind of win with crawwurm midrange, but 40 life and multiple opponents is WAY too much time for traditional aggro to function.
Grayson Williams
If you're doing victory though combat you need haste enablers and ways to get huge alpha strikes going along with the ability to protect your board or ways of rebuilding it instantly.
Landon Hall
can you go infinite with palinchron and panharmonicon by tapping your lands in between the triggers?
Jordan Cook
Well the agro serves a bigger purpose. It'll be a pirate deck with Beckett Brass, lots of extra turns and fast pirates with evasion. Swing in hard and fast to steal the mana rocks of my slower opponents and use those to fuel my extra turns which will in turn steal me more shit to win the game with.
Alexander Perry
fast aggro decks dont really do well in edh, the closest thing you are really going to get is voltron but even then thats not very good
Joshua Martin
>will look at the next few cards someone is going to draw Murder is the solution here.
Austin Williams
Aggro in EDH is not your classic aggro with low cmc creatures, it's more like: >ramp like a motherfucker >cast really big dudes >give them haste and pump them >kill someone/the table
Xenagod is a good example commander for this kind of strategy
Jacob Jackson
Yes, Dragon Arch chooses the creature when it resolves, so if Mairsil is in your hand you can pick him. The thing about Quicksilver Elemental is that if it's uncaged it'll always have its own ability, and if it's caged then Mairsil using that ability will give him another use of that ability. If he can produce blue mana he can keep giving himself more uses. And yes, if you blink him he gets his abilities again.
Luis Thomas
Well that's a horse of a different color. what you need comes down to two factors
>Evasion Your pirates have to get through for Beckett to work, which means that blockers are a drag. Anything that limits or disables blocking is to your advantage. Intimidation (+ Thran Lens) could be OK here. Beckett Highway Robbery isn't going to be ultracompetitive, so give into the jank side a bit if it works.
>Relentlessness The doom of most aggro is that something stops it and then it can't just restart. Wrath of God will leave you asking "What now?" even if you've got great evasion, as will virtually any chaff-clearing. Depending on how good your draw is, even attrition will grind your pirates to dust since there just aren't that many of them (Though if you Xenograft/Conspiracy that's a thing). You're in black, though, so getting some consistent graveyard recursion as well as some splashy recursion isn't beyond hope. Both Patriarch's Bidding and Oversold Cemetery will help you recover.
Christopher Campbell
Good sleeves and any foils,full art or old prints I can get my hands on. I'll probably foil out a tasigur deck since it's my first commander when im a old stanky wizard
Mason Ramirez
Yes.
Caleb White
> Do you pimp out your deck? If so how?
I usually try to foil up my most worthless cards in my deck, so as to trick timmys into thinking I value those cards more than others
Colton Smith
How's this guy as a voltron commander?
Charles Hernandez
If you want to try a solid mono green deck, I've won many games with this guy and a deck full of creatures that cost less than their P/T should warrant. Garruk's Companion, Terra Stomper etc. Super super fast.
Jackson Cox
Kodama of the North Tree is better.
Chase Thompson
I dont understand. How in any situation would I ever play that card in any format?
Juan Williams
