So I havent seen anything Magic related save for Ixalan spoilers since Eldritch Moon. Havs I missed anything cool?
Luis Murphy
Well you skipped 2 whole sets and commander decks. "Cool" depands on what are you running?

/thread
Nathaniel Smith
My bad, should have been more clear. What staples have come out? Anything really powerful for commander, strictly better versions of popular cards, commanders that are seeing a lot of play, etc. General meta stuff, I suppose.
Xavier Thompson
A resources thread huh? Man those resources are shit for Modern.
Zachary Cox
Vampires are not looking that great right now sadly. I love the look.
Luis Sullivan
Check out Hour of Devastation gods and few of the new legends from commander 2017(check out teferi's protection card). Also number of format staples has been reprinted as Masterpices(or whatever they are called) but they are few and far between.
Also Rashmi from Kaladesh seems to be doing good for herself. Thats of the top of my head
Nathaniel Morris
Pic related, needed for my Selenia Seppuku deck. I need 4 cuts currently for my meme deck, but feedback n things i may be missing is appreciated. I can't wait to fuck around with people's life totals. tappedout.net/mtg-decks/sudoku-boys/

>tfw the aggro deck is run by the only guy in the group.who doesn't like you and you know he's about to kill you early so you fucking obliterate the board state he best you can to ruin everyone else's combos The best feeling is watching people build up shit feeling safe watching my life drop and then I just take away their toys before I'm bullied out of existence.
Daniel Evans
Gj killing thread links
Luke Nguyen
bet you like the bullying dont you slut?
John Evans
Just pulled this in a Aether Revolt booster today. Pretty excited.
Think it'll be fun to use in some kind of deck.
Not sure if I should just sell it though. Are Kaladesh Inventions legal in standard by the way?
Brandon Collins
Forgot to add. I think it might be fun to use in my Breya or Atraxa deck
Kevin James
>Are Kaladesh Inventions legal in standard by the way?
They are legal in formats base card is legal i.e. Locust God Invocation is legal in standard, Senseis top is not
Carter Howard
sell it and get a regular version you dope
only bling out your main
Liam Wright
PREVIOUS THREAD: Lack of edition can be excused.
My hype for Ixalan is probably Revel in Riches.
David Moore
I already have a regular version hehe. This one's pretty cool though
Xavier Davis
Hour of Devastation had some really good cards for edh in Ramunap Excavator, Mirrage Mirror, Neheb the Eternal, Razaketh, and the three insect gods.
We had a bunch of edh staples reprinted in Eternal Masters, Modern Masters 2017, Conspiracy 2 and soon Iconic Masters.
Another bunch of staples got reprinted as masterpieces in Kaladesh and Amonkhet blocks.
2016 precons were hype. All of the main commanders are pretty powerful. The partner commanders were way better than expected. Everyone went crazy for the Atraxa one to build superfriends.
Paradox Engine is degenerate.
Benjamin Miller
as foretold can cast your commander from command zone over and over for free when it gets to counters it needs
Landon Hernandez
>tq Probably the "transform into lands" cards. If you mean as a commander per se, then none of them really catched my attention, since I'm not a fan of either vampires, pirates, or dinosaurs.
Oliver Garcia
I'd rather play a 4 player FFA properly then soak most of the removal or get rushed down by two players who always work together at the beginning. I need to get some more cards to deal with mass and huge creatures but I'm 2poor at the moment.
Benjamin Ramirez
What's your pet deck, /edh/? Pic related, dragon tribal with stupid amounts of ramp, draw, and free creatures. I was thinking about fusing it and the Ur Dragon deck. Is his deck any good?
Brandon Carter
>2016 precons were hype I miss that hype, partners were pretty cool concept, since none of them would make a strong commander by itself. Experience counters were also a neat way of scaling your commander, so that helps preventing the game from dragging on.
Blake Cruz
White won't give you much in terms of dragons, but it has the changelings. Black has some good dragons, but the manabase for a 5 color deck is much more expensive, so you gotta weight it out.
Jaxson Williams
Looked at the decklist for Ur Dragon. The mana base in there didn't look too bad what's thr problem with it?
Joshua Ramirez
the problem is that most of the lands come into play tapped.
Cooper Brooks
It's too slow for a deck that is already slow. So it basically depends on how much pity the other players had on you until the time you start casting your dragons. Having better lands, and lands that doesn't enters tapped helps a lot, especially since a lot of the dragons requires doubles, 2 doubles, or even triples of a single mana type.
James Johnson
Theres a surprising amount of not pirates/dinosaurs i want in this set. That dowsing dagger, flying men, sunwing for starters
Christian Butler
The flying men are pirates.

As someone who owns all the key parts Kalov needs, can you sell me on him? He seems like a kinda boring Voltron commander honestly.

Anyone have suggestions for ways of designating token copies, fake eternalize, real eternalize, embalm? My deck's board state is getting hard to represent.
Jack Morales
have you tried using tokens? wizards made them for a reason
Nathaniel Diaz
The thing I've found about Karlov is that even if your main goal is Voltron, he works well with so many midrange and slow grindy cards that you might not end up needing him. If your opponents stop you from slapping them with Karlov then you've still got Divinity of Pride and Serra Ascendant to slap them around, and stuff like Phyrexian Arena to keep drawing. If you can't outvalue them, slow the game down yourself, and pull off 40 extort triggers. Or just find your Bond/Vamp/Mage+Blood Combo and win the game on the spot.
Ian Brown
not!Gaea's Cradle, not!Maze of Ith, graveyard Fact or Fiction and mass Path to Exile have me hyped
Sebastian Hill
I have the tokens. But they don't work for fakeeternalize per God Pharoah's Gift, especially when you use it on something that has Eternalize.
And they certainly don't work for say, Rite of Replication. Any cool ideas?
Aiden Scott
Thing is they (quite naturally) couldn't make any tokens for Scarab God's ability to clone copy basically anything. They did have the punch-out markers, though, which I guess is a solution (along with swankier versions made by 3rd parties) since Scarab God exiles the card and you're unlikely to need the original back while the token is operating. Of course, that's foiled if you're using Scarab God+Eldrazi Processors or anything that makes a clone copy sort of token without exiling the original, or that makes more than one such token even if it does exile.
Might I suggest advert cards and post-it notes? Of 3rd party custom tokens for "Copy" or "Clone" and post-its if you're feeling like you want something fancier.
Daniel Cruz
I'm leaning towards custom little things like this, but I am trying to decide what I would want them to say. For legit embalmed and eternalized, I don't need chits. But nothing online says "fake eternalize" or "eternalized but has mana cost".
I kind of want like a little whiteboard card for copies of Eternal Witness.
Camden Evans
keep a stack of sticky notes and draw them on the spot or use index cards
Parker Roberts
Can y'all find me a cut for Ugin and the new Double Damage Pirate?
1) There are only 86 cards there what are you doing? 2) The 14 missing cards should be land. I'm gonna assume they're land 3) This seems a heavy flavor deck, do you really want something possessed by another PW (Double damage pirate is "Angrath's Marauders")? 4) Cut hostility since it looks like garbage and turns your strategy inside out, maybe 5) Oh god you do NOT have enough ramp 6) I guess my second cut would be Volcanic Vision
Alexander Jackson
I must've forgotten to add the mountains back in when I updated the list.
The theme is more mechanical, a monored deck that feels monored with burn and damage out the butt. Your two cuts are Hostility and Volcanic? Well, they are kind of high on CMC, but they have been performing. And speaking of CMC, you really feel I need more ramp? I could stick in a Ruby Medalion, but I don't think a Grim Monolith and Thran Dynamo would do much for the deck since the curve is fairly low. What do you think about cutting Runehorn and Spawn of Thraxes? Since I added deserts, Spawn feels kind of weak and Runehorn has never done what he was intended to.
I'll admit the deck is fairly trash, but it has won games in my playgroup so power level isn't a huge concern.
Kayden Fisher
Just stick in a Ruby Medallion.
James Cruz
Ruby Medallion is good. You can also add Mind Stone/Hedron Archive, since it is ramp that turns into draw later on.
Jeremiah Hughes
Sounds good, I'll probably cut some topend card for it. Also, since the PW rule is going away, I might stick in more Chandra's and a Chain Veil. Thinking Firebrand and maaaaybe Nalaar. Would that be hurting the deck more than helping?
Also, I don't know what the fuck cards are missing. I wasn't running 40 lands. I'll have to doublecheck. Something must've accidentally gotten wiped during copying and pasting the deck into Tapped out. Appreciate the advice, last two times I didn't even get a single reply.
Easton Campbell
Except that'll probably never flip in EDH and you're better off running Greed or Erebos.
Matthew Peterson
Yeah, I don't know why those weren't on my original list. I run them in a lot of decks. Mind Stone in particular because getting stuck on like 3 mana after mulligans is really balls.
I haven't been treating this deck very well. Too many pet cards. Finding space for that Fire Diamond was like pulling teeth.
Nathan Barnes
You can go hard with voltron or just regular orzhov lifegain/loss shenanigans. And say you pull 0 voltron enablers you can still exile everyone else's fatties for WB and a few counters, at instant speed mind you, which you should have a stupid amount easily
Isaiah Myers
>edh and commander not in the thread name what the fuck dude? >What's your hypest Ixalan commander card? dinosaurs because despite being nearly 30 I still love dinos

Anyone who says they grew out of dinos being cool must be dead inside

Jackson Murphy
>4th game in a row getting killed by my own commander
I'm done with Karlov, this shit is ridiculous.
Cooper Hill
Y/how tho? Steal effects?
Henry Morales
Looks good so far, then again I don't play standard
Lucas Hernandez
>have you tried using tokens?
Not him but outside of dice counters or using a phone there is little reason to use tokens. Plus some of them are 1.50 for 1
Ryan Ward
Wall of blood my dudes, wall of mother fucking blood (im sure the deck has the when you gain life deal damage vampire from zendi right?
Jayden Phillips
Custom orders? Or make you own cutouts and slap them into sleeves? Gotta think outside the cardboard user
James Sanchez
The dinos are pretty universally overcosted and underwhelming Timmy shit. Nothing wrong with that but I'm having trouble justifying making dinos because I like winning.
Aiden Taylor
My 6 year old brother doesn't care about dinosaurs. It kills me inside.
Fuck minecraft, man. Dinosaurs are waaay cooler. I need to take him to the museum again.
Lincoln Perez
Yes. Never enough mana to exile him. I have all the exile cards. I have all the hexproof/shroud artifacts.
I get him to 20/20+ then get cucked
Adam Hughes
My point was for certain commanders you aren't going to put 40+ tokens on the field
Chase White
they just cost SO MUCH MANA. like the lostest drop ones are like 4-5 mana aside from the one 2 drop flyer that you cant even run because you have to spend the first 2 turns ramping. even if you manage to finally amass enough mana to play a dino its just going to be countered or killed off immediate making everything you have done completely pointless. out of all the ixalain tribes dinos are the worst by far. hopefully the next set in the block fixes this issue but i highly doubt it
Christian Watson
I don't give a fuck about flip side really(odds I ever hit 5 life in that deck are kinda low). Point is I can drop it earlier than greed or erebos(who I run) and will likely replace arena(with is kinda eh kard really)
Ayden Morgan
Anyone try these? They're kind of pricey, but if they work, it would be perfect.
Andrew James
You could just write it out and put it in a sleeve with a land.
Ethan Ortiz
Might need a new strat user, sounds like voltron won't fly at your table.
Mason Adams
Well of course, at most you should only need a few copies of the token and some dice. Though some tokens are rather rare and/or specific Though I have seen people with token decks bust out a massive pile of tokens and use hard copies exclusively. Sounds like a huge hassle to me but whatever floats your boat
Owen Long
Honestly, maybe could just get two extra copies of each card I can token copy in my deck.
Just put them in diff sleeves.
Elijah Gutierrez
Well, if you don't run anything like God Pharaoh's Gift, it should be ok.
Henry Nguyen
No it doesnt. Its no different than a zombie commander and rooftop storm, you still have to pay the commander tax
Michael Campbell
I'll also need plastic chits.
My current plan is extra cards for normal copies, plastic chits for fake eternalize, normal tokens for real embalm, eternalize and plain tokens.
Jordan Reyes
Why are all pirates women?

Anthony White
Goes right along with what people mean by equal representation, have only women/poc as an attempt to equalize the history of majority white male leads rather than actual equal representation across all skin tones and genders.
Jordan Russell
The goalposts are fine where they are.
Wyatt Gonzalez
Pirates are one of the few factions that makes sense as egalitarian, given that in far male-dominated eras on earth women had... more success in piracy than in other fields. We know of many major pirate captains of Ixalan. Three are women -- Beckett Brass, Lannery Storm, and Vraska. Another woman, Ripley Vance, is mentioned but wasn't printed, at least not in the first set here. Angrath's a dude and a shoe-in for set 2, though like Vraska he's a PW. Captain (Brandis) Thorn is a dude, and we can presume the same fairly safely of Captain Parrish since he's depicted on Chart a Course. Captain Brinley Rage (Quoted on Run Aground) also sounds like a dude but it's less certain.
For why the female captains got printed first, I refer you to
Christian Walker
Djeru isnt even close to are you blind?
Bentley Ross
Oh I get it, white males are the bad guys
Josiah Bell
Except the vampires are some of the more sympathetic tribes in Ixalan, probably only second to Merfolk
Eli Johnson
Have you tried always having BW available during your opponent's turns? Or a fucking fog effect?
