Thread Question: How important is tutoring to you? How many tutors do you usually run (in a given color combination), and which ones are they in each color?
>How important is tutoring to you? How many tutors do you usually run (in a given color combination), and which ones are they in each color? its not really important but i always run at least 1 or 2 in each deck just to make sure i can get a card if i really need it

Give me all your giant rattlesnake/nuclear deterrent cards, such as Aetherflux Reservoir, Tree of Perdition and pic related!
Andrew Nelson
Not a fan. I run basic land tutors and I have love affair with niche tutors like Time of Need or Supply // Demand.
Otherwise, games feel too samey. Then again, same is true if you draw half your deck every game so it is pretty arbitrary.

Kayden Ortiz
Man, I hate hostage taker cards. Fortunately for me and unfortunately for you, there aren't a lot that just crush someone if they dare upset you.
My favorite boy, real fun with a damage doubler, not a real deterrent though, because if I'm playing him I'm giving him haste and tapping him come hell or high water.
Carter Hall
>How important is tutoring to you? How many tutors do you usually run (in a given color combination), and which ones are they in each color? I like running more toolbox tutors ive grown really sick of cEDH recently and while tutors arent the reason, they probably add to the reason I dont play my Jace deck anymore
Anthony Davis
archon of justice isnt a good card unless you play it in a birthing pod style deck then its incredible yes I will exile a perm and get a sun titan for 2 mana (or 1 mana and 2 life)

I've been working on a Zegana list filled with clones.
Clones are cool, but now they can also be draw spells! Sometimes drawing 30 cards.
shes pretty qt will make stronk boys not as good in bed as you might think muscle girls rarely are :( kill me
Samuel Miller
Add 1 more card it says you are at 99 Make sure you have 8-10 ramp effects that cost 3 or less. A cursory look by me counted 3 (Cultivate, Kodama's, and Ring) though I might have missed a dork or something. Here are some suggestions. I would say suggestions that won't break the bank but you've got a 400+ build with swords, you can afford the good stuff.
Selesnya Signet Coldsteel Heart Thought Prism Mind Stone Marble Diamond Moss Diamond Mana Vault $ Grim Monolith $$$ Mana Crypt $$$
Don't Run lands that ETB tapped if you can avoid it. Ditch the gain 1 lands for your Painland and City of Brass, at the very least.
Maybe save a little room for that Ixalan artifact that becomes a Maze of Ith, Maze is really good with Mirri as you've already gotten.
You could probably do to take a couple more wipes. You don't want the board to be TOO insane, because then you're flat if Mirri's protection bites it.
Consider ways to get Mirri tapped without her dying horribly to blockers. Maze of Ith untaps her, so you'll be unprotected. Throw a Paradise Mantle into the ramp package, maybe a little Convoke (Sprout Swarm is nice). oh, and ROGUE'S PASSAGE. I know it only taps for colorless but getting an unblockable enabler on the least futzed with permanent type is really good for her.

Landon Wright
What would you suggest taking out to replace with ramp? The 1 card I'm missing is the reserved space for the Ixalan artifact you reference. Tapped out didn't have it as an option when I last checked. I agree with your other suggestions. I'm just having a hard time cutting cards out for more ramp.
Owen Evans

For cuts...
Are you really going wide enough for Voice of Resurgence? I don't see much of a token package otherwise (though the more I look, the more I think it's just subtle)
Are you hitting the "Gain life" button enough to justify Archangel of Thune?
Cast Out is fairly shitty removal. Generally, I'd want the O-ring or just to wrath, and your deck is poised to handle creature threats pretty well with mirri and maze
Glare of Subdual is kind of funky because you generally want to swing away. You can't tap a creature to stop it once it's actually been declared an attacker.
Only one of your lands doesn't produce mana (Maze of Ith). You could probably chuck two basics for two ramp cards but that would be the last move for fine tinkering. I swear by 35 mana-producing lands to at least 10 good ramp.
FlipGideon's backside is not very good for you. His +2 ability has bad dissynergy with your pillow fort effects since your opponent can decline to pay. Meanwhile his +1 is kinda nice interference running, but there are better options. Becoming an invincible 4/4 is also a kinda lame payoff. So you could cut Kytheon.
Joshua Myers
If she gets big enough, can we invade HER?
David Reed
id probably drop a land or 2 because you are in green and will be able to reliably get your basics. id consider getting rid of sphere of safety as you dont have many enchantments and it will only keep your safe in the very early game since this is commander and having a billion mana is common. for ramp i would add rampant growth, command sphere (mostly for the card draw aspect later), explosive vegetation, or some similar stuff. as for a board wipe there are many to choose from but my personal fave that you dont have is fumigate because its cheap and the life gain is very welcomed the later the game goes. also this is just me but i would take out the flip gideon, was never a fan of that card. id also put in a heroic intervention if you can find the room
i know that's more than just ramp but now that i look at your list a little more id change more things
Dylan Parker
when this card gets triggered does it tap all the other lands for mana or does it tap them without producing mana?
Eli Taylor
Thank you both for the suggestions and time to type up your responses. I'll take a crack at some edits to the deck shortly. Are they're any big/important cards for my strategy I may have overlooked?
Justin Ortiz
It would tap them without producing mana when the ability resolves, but the affected player can just tap their other lands before the ability resolves and get the mana anyway.
If you were hoping it could somehow make an opponent only ever get to produce one mana, you'd have to be playing against a complete moron.
Nathaniel Mitchell
When it gets triggered your opponent can choose to tap them all for mana as they'll have priority before it resolves. When it resolves they'll all tap for no mana.
Evan Brooks
If the ability resolves, no mana will be produced, but the player can tap the lands to be hit for mana first
Hudson Rogers
hey sorry i forgot one more card id add if you can find the room. put in rishkars expertise, its a REALLY good card in pretty much any green deck. can draw you like 3 cards then drop a sword or hammer of nazhan or whatever
Thomas Sanders
Alright, this didn't get any traction last thread, but it is worth trying again. Any of y'all wanna give me some feedback on my Chandra.dec? It is garbage for obvious reasons (being a burn deck with no combos in EDH, being a red deck that isn't secretly monobrown, etc.) but I am curious to see if y'all have any good cards on theme that I missed? I've won games with it in my meta, so power level isn't too big of a concern.
I'd really appreciate y'all having a look. I got myself an Ugin for the deck to help clear Enchantments and for the one or two planeswalkers matters cards so I need to slot that in.
As in activated abilities with the tap symbol or abilities that twiddle or care about tapping?
You building Merieke?
Benjamin Jenkins
Yup. Got all of the decent inspired cards, looking for other jank
Stuff like triad of the fates, xathrid gorgon, anything with fun tap effects. My playgroup is pretty casual
Wyatt Reed
...
Logan Long
Sick. Okay, let me find my random awful Grimgrin twiddle list.
Never built this IRL, but here ya go. It has plenty of jank. My fave is using Orb of Dreams and Amulet of Vigor to make the world's most inspired Kismet.
Kind of old and was UB, so worth looking into White exert for example.

to filter or not to filter?
Jeremiah Long
Wooded bastion is strictly better in GW and most Naya/Abzan decks.
Julian Richardson
How many cards in the colors do you have that have double mana symbols of the same color?
Bentley Cox
probably should have clarified i dont mean for GW specifically just in general what people thought of filterlands either cycle
Angel Cox
Is Fatal Push any good in EDH?
I pulled one the other day and was wondering if it's a good kill spell in the format.
Gavin Allen
>specifically just in general what people thought of filterlands either cycle
An absolute lifesaver in some situations. I have a Naya deck that I have all three Lorwyn filters in and they've saved my ass and been the only source of either red, green, or white mana on occasion and I've got a super good mana base with revised duals in it.
Christian Richardson
Not really, no.
Carson James
It's good in Modern because you're running 4-8 fetches in a 60 card deck to turn on Revolt and there are very few decks that curve above 4. If that's your meta then it's good, if not there are better.
Jayden Martin
Eeh? As spot removal goes it's not terrible, but it would seldom if ever be my first call. I think Tragic Slip is better in EDH. Slip hits real fat when it's 'on' and denies regeneration and indestructible
Kayden Jackson
They're so fucking expensive. I want them but fuck me, man.
I just want to run Kozilek. Fuck.
Grayson Powell
Alright thanks guys. Guess I'll try and get a set for Modern than although I don't think I'll ever run a set in Eldrazi
Luke James
these are pennies a piece the others are like 8-10 bucks
Gavin Flores
Those are only preferable in 3+ colored decks where you have serious color fixing issues. Otherwise the inability to tap on it's own is worse than entering tapped in a good deal of cases.
Dominic Rodriguez
then why are signet considered good?
Ian Murphy
Depends on what kind of Eldrazi you're playing. The DnT variant sometimes uses it.
Jason Bell
Because they're ramp.
Colton Bailey
because its 2 mana for a net of 1 that doesnt enter tapped and because filtering mana is much better than what that guy thinks even my GW selvala deck has a hard time getting the right colors i can need gg and ww on turn three so that can be tough
Ian Roberts
Because Signets are +1 mana every turn after the turn you play it, and they don't take up a land drop.
I'm running Tron because Karn but if the Urza lands ever get banned I'll jump ship to the B/W variant that won the Kobe GP.
Honestly it'd probably be best to jump on the B/W Eldrazi train since it's a better deck that doesn't get shut down as hard as Tron I just want to use Karn.
Jordan Roberts
They don't let me cast Kozilek. They also don't have the full cycle. Thanks though.
Charles Gutierrez
We got another set before we can say that.
Nathaniel Robinson
>They don't let me cast Kozilek >playing colorless wew
Brandon Parker
God! As a geologist that map hurts. I've always hated giant circle islands with a sea with another island inside. That only happens under specific conditions that I doubt anyone on the team though of including. I know it is sparklewizard.png but fuck.
Jaxson Turner
Gishath Pyrohemia Fight Club may be jank, but it is already looking fun.
To be fair, we don't have the scale. the "Inner Sea" could be Mediterranean-sized (or a significant fraction). which I believe would alleviate some of those issues?

Jacob Jackson
I assume the image above is the entire map of all of Ixalan, which would mean that it's a map of an entire planet or planet-esque setting.
John Jenkins
Nope, Ixalan is only one continent.
Henry Harris
>which would mean that it's a map of an entire planet or planet-esque setting
Nope. There's another continent at least, which the vampires sailed from. "Ixalan" is both this continent and the name of the plane.
Dylan Gonzalez
I'm fairly certain it's the "New World" only since there's no home turf for the Legion of Dusk, just beachheads. Still could be the size of South America, or even the Americas as a whole.
Ayden Hernandez
The fun to be had in the deck was never in question. I'm looking forward to it. It's just never gonna be any real threat in my estimation... which in turn makes it perfect for Commander?
Landon Martin

I don't use them often, I only have 1 deck that really makes use of them and it's all-in on combi >How many tutors do you usually run (in a given color combination), and which ones are they in each color? UB runs the most at 4 (5 if you count Lim-Dul's Vault), and I have 1 at most in my other decks
Ethan Parker
It is one card in the 99.
Nathan Lewis
You're still swinging big dicks at people.
William Carter
>How important is tutoring to you? Not very. I understand that there are people out there that run like 10 tutors in every deck, but I just can't be bothered. I'm not one of those people that put Demonic + Vampiric + Grim + Rune-Scarred + etc in every deck.
>How many tutors do you usually run (in a given color combination), and which ones are they in each color? Depends on the deck's colors. I'll usually run 3 (Enlightened, Idyllic, Plea for Guidance) in GWx because I love enchantments and I love to get out my typical Privileged Position + Sterling Grove / Greater Auramancy combo, as well as other self-protection enchantments like Wheel of Sun and Moon. In decks with B I only usually put in Diabolic Revelation and Increasing Ambition. To me, for a card to be worth including in my EDH decks, it has to have either massive value or re-usability.
Xavier Jones
It would be better if it were a smaller island since then it could be a coral atoll or a dormant volcano that has been weather down.
As for the spoiler. There is a lot that goes into what make a locality the way it is. So much that i couldn't fit it in a Veeky Forums thread. The main thing is think plate tectonics for landscape and lattitude for climate. If you really want to get into you should look into global circulation patterns and the Koppen Climate Classification. And like is trying to illustrate it is more about fun and being cool than being accurate. A good cheat for land shapes it to look up the earth in different eras. The way the continents were arranged when dinosaurs roamed the earth is very different than it is now. Or to go into photoshop/illustrator and grab two existing land masses [like africa and alaska], make them the about the same size. super impose one over the other and then rotate them both in different directions until you can't really tell that it is 2 real world places together. You can also just dump macaroni on some paper and trace it.
>pic semi-related This mars if it had a sea level comparable to earth's.
If you read the lore it is an entire continent on the plane akin to new world.
Caleb Smith
>I love to get out my typical Privileged Position + Sterling Grove / Greater Auramancy combo "p-please no interaction"
Levi Sanders
I usually also include things like old Sigarda, new Sigarda / Leyline of Sanctity, Angel of Jubilation, Solemnity, City of Solitude, Price of Glory, Vexing Shusher, Prowling Serpopard, Archangel of Tithes, Angelic Arbiter, Sphere of Safety, Norn's Annex, Fountain Watch, old Linvala, Leonin Arbiter, Leonin Abunas, Elixir of Immortality, etc in appropriately colored decks. Pretty much anything to keep my shit safe.
Jordan Diaz
My Azusa runs like 12~ tutors if we count the ones that grab me nonbasic lands and creatures together, my Ruric only has Wild Pair as far as tutoring stuff goes.

Do you think Smuggler's Copter will ever end up being worth anything like say Sensei's Divining Top? I'm wondering if I should grab a set now and not regret it in the future since they were banned.

It is a coincidence because I'm gay. For some reason I usually end up liking female characters more than males. ex. Avacyn, Arlinn, Alesha, Elspeth.

How do y'all feel about cantrips in a non-storm deck? I need to power up the draw power in my Aboshan deck, but for the life of me, I can't help but include the usual package of Brainstorm, Ponder, Preordain, and Serum Visions.
On a similar topic, is it worth running Memnarch in a deck that isn't explicitly about artifacts?
Liam Jones
What mono U commander is most fun?
Cameron Clark
Yea, I know. Slips my mind whenever I talk about Alesha.
Bentley Stewart
Jalira, Master Polymorphist
Robert Diaz
Arcanis is literally "Resolve Mind over matter to win" Talrand is cantrips and counterspells galore, closest thing to aggro monoblue will have in EDH for a long, long time. Arcum is a piece of shit and SHOULD FUCKING DIE. Braids is somewhere between hilariously dumb and just plain fucking stupid.
Jaxson Morris
