i would love to run one of the nephilim as my commander. my group ok'd it, and i was all hyped to bring ink-treader, but the week before i could, three other people brought their own ink-treader decks.
Kayden Nelson
What a faggot card. 2017 Precons were a mistake
Evan Stewart
>2017 I agree with you, but c'mon, man.
William Thompson
C'mon what? It's nothing but Breya and Atraxa now. Some guys sitting there going "uhhhhh, I'm gonna, ummmmm" because they can't use their netdecked artifact recursion Breya for shit or dudes cramming in every planeswalker they can.
Kevin Ross
There are more broken cards that are older user. No use in complaining.
Nathan Russell
...
Jordan Baker
I was just pointing out that Atraxa was from 2016 and not 2017, dude.
Daniel Butler
It's not even about broken so much as boring.
Juan Watson
Ah christ you know what I mean.
Logan Nelson
To each their own I suppose. Opinions are part of life.
Easton Brooks
Currently modifyng the cat precon for pic related. Any good suggestions? I've got the Kaldra cycle and a few ways to blink him as well as Godsend already in.
Evan Russell
Sigarda's Aid
Chase Hall
Edgar fucking Markov. Three people built this in my play group. While I'm just sitting here durdling with wizards.
Hunter Walker
As much as I like cats, they look pretty creepy and I don't think I could play a deck of cat people.
Grayson Garcia
Why do three color Commanders feel so comfy? Were the originators of EDH prophetic or just lucky? Monos and Quads always feel too jank to me. Duals and All-Color work for me only in specific cases. But Trios just seem to function perfectly whenever I try them. Is there some deeper Commander philosophy to all this or am I just thinking too hard about it?
Aiden Butler
What's the best thing to do with this?
I love that bounty counter shit, but I feel it has generally zero impact.
Mason Davis
Three colors are a nice middle ground with concern to both viability and ease of mana base. Monos usually have trouble dealing with some things, and Five color manabases are expensive.
Liam Baker
>build edgar because I own most of the good vampires anyways >another guy builds edgar >and another >some matches are 3x edgar and kruphix/locust god
I want to get off this ride.
Brandon Wilson
I had a Mardu vampire deck for three years before Edgar came out. I was waiting that whole time for a proper commander, and now that he's here I don't give one shit what anyone thinks, I'm using him.
William Phillips
Who did you use at the start?
Jonathan Nguyen
How do I stop playing black? Every time I find a commander that could be fun, I toss out the idea if they aren't also black. All of the coolest cards are black, most powerful, and most fun cards are black.
What non black commander should I play?
Blake Sanchez
I'm a huge faggot and refuse to play any of the top all-time commanders on edhrec
Juan Watson
Gahiji, Honored One Roon of the Hidden Realm Riku of Two Reflections Zedruu the Greathearted
Adam Young
personally I feel like 2 color is the way to go, 3 color manabases if you wanna be fully optimized are expensive as fuck and then (for most people) its hard to get a good feel for a deck when building it so that it doesnt end just 3 color good stuff
with a 2 color commander you can get all the fun flavorful shit, decently priced mana base, and the card synergy to make it viable while with 3+ colors I usually cant tell the difference between tasigur and sidisi considering theres so many cards that are good in all 3 of those colors you would be a fool not to put them all in and then when its finally time to add in fun cards you got cut goodstuff to make room for lands in the first place
but then again im the type of player that wants mana crypt, sol ring, and grim monolith banned so theres that
Jaxon Murphy
can i make this work with kraj in a way that isn't overly convoluted?
Sebastian Sanders
Probably not.
Jose Williams
>laughing at standard players who need to pay 40+ dollars for a Scarab God >remember that I'll eventually need one for Zombies that I'll make in some point in time >remember that price memory is a thing
Ryder Evans
Is The Locust God solid fun times as a commander? I want to kill people with "bees" and lab maniac wins mite be cool. If I go through with building the deck it'd be my first edh deck. Anyone here got experience using him?
Austin Fisher
any wincons that use clones? I always slip in more clones than i should into my decks, but copy fatty doesnt cut it sometimes
Adrian Sullivan
nuthin...personal...
Christian Ramirez
...
Christian Collins
You're basically gonna be playing a powered-down Nekusar without black. If that sounds fun, stock up on Wheel effects, Mindmoils, and Firestorm.
Thomas Peterson
I feel he slots in nicely into a Queen Marchesa politics deck.
Isaac Fisher
might be fun with the hunted cards from ravinca. Pretty funny flavor too. >creating quests for your opponents
Carter Moore
I used Tariel at first, almost never cast her. Then it was briefly Queen Marchesa.
Jeremiah Murphy
Biovisionary!
Jack Rodriguez
>tariel Good shit! I love how jank she is.
Eli Watson
Which one?
I also have a locust god mat. Would it be overkill?
Camden Parker
art on the invocation is goofy as hell, go with that one
Matthew Smith
...
Carter Martinez
no locust got is a hyped up niv mizzet its literally the same wheel effects every game till you find the same cards every game, play him one time and youve played him a million times
there are more fun strategies with other commanders in UR
one of the most hyped up and disappointing commanders Ive ever built and the only reason im not too bummed about it is because I used his mana base to build mizzix which is actually fun
Henry Hughes
I cant like the masterpieces of this set. Its all unintelligible to me
Daniel Roberts
>wheel.deck is boring and repetitive >combo.deck isn't
Robert Cook
My waifu is more than just combo.dec She is PURE_VALUE.DEC
Logan Carter
He's repetitive, but if you'll get off to drawing lots and lots of cards and killing everyone and chump blocking everything with little guys then you'll have fun
Make sure you pick up throne of the god pharaoh, mindmoil, impact tremors, psychosis crawler, and if you have the cash purph
Jonathan Robinson
Mizzix isnt combo, at least mine isnt mine tries to win with guttersnipe/talrand type effects
like if you would be fine with a deck consisting of tutors, land, and kiki/twin combos then you would have fun with locust god
Liam Jones
>I used his mana base to build mizzix which is actually fun It's not pretend that Mizzix isn't just "stall to get enough experience to cast enter the infinite with lab man on the field".
Jack Roberts
Heh, nice try kiddo
Ryder Evans
Invocation or bust, my dude. The play mat is not overkill.
Aiden Perez
Why does he have mouse ears?
Kevin Reed
>ruining UR by playing infinites
only low class players have infinites in their decks
Jacob Cook
I want to say those are eyes...
Josiah Brown
>really want invocation scarab god >80€
I should've bought one when it was 50..
Gabriel Gomez
maybe bolas took them to disney world.
Carson Harris
Hey /EDHG/, I was wondering which direction I should go. I noticed I had Overburden, Manabreach, back to basics, and Burgeoning all not in a deck, and was contemplating making a gu deck around them with kruphix at the helm. When testing however the inconsistency of not being able to tutor the enchantments was annoying, and often got me hated because my group knew the synergy between the cards. Should I go 3 color instead on this using partner commanders, (either sultai or bant) or abandon the deck?
Jackson Lewis
Bant.
Angel Foster
what color is the hardest to be creative with? I feel like every GU deck is almost identical with only a few tweaks here and there based on the commander
Dominic Nguyen
Artifact decks, no matter the colors. Creativity is damn near impossible. You always run the same staples because they fucking work.
Jason Sanders
Does this deck do enough FUN things for my opponents?
Am I missing something? Even with both of those in play, Elesh will still kill all the locusts
Jace Clark
>merfolk
Easton Collins
Azor's Elocutors Anvil of Bogardan Benevolent Offering Charmed Griffin Darksteel Reactor Helix Pinnacle Indentured Djinn Tempt with Glory Tempt with Reflections Weird Harvest
Bentley Price
It's pretty true honestly, if you want the best artifact deck you know which ones to grab. You only get leeway to personalize it if you pick a gimmick or go 75%.
My breya deck is fun as fuck to play but its hardly creative
Samuel Gonzalez
>all the best tools and tricks for merfolk suck in edh
Hunter Edwards
thanks user. i had my eyes on anvil but it looked slightly too pricy for the time being, i'll have to think about it because it is indeed fun.
i'll check out the others, don't recall what they are.
Juan Gutierrez
Don't they stack? So insects go from 1/1 to 4/4, with elish norn down to 2/2?
Kevin Wood
Disregard, you're right. I was only looking at power not toughness
Luis Collins
Who's a good Rakdos control commander, if there is one?
Hunter Fisher
rakdos isnt a very good control combination just add blue or white and youre good
Anthony Gutierrez
Mogis? Kaervek?
Nathaniel Thompson
Mogis or scorpion god
Lucas Price
Exava
Cameron White
Goddamn, I love that idea. That sounds like a nice one to brew up. Like the Trecherous Pitdweller and the new guy that gives treasure tokens. Just that fun kinda shit.
Jace Nelson
I remember when me and everyone else built Daretti and we would have Daretti only pods. Good times
Carson Morris
How fun and effective is this dude for a commander? Do I need to shell out gold for Wheel of Fortune and other expensive card draw staples?
Jayden Hill
Here's some obvious if you know it exists, but still somewhat underknown tech.
Anthony Young
What kind of utility does this dude have? I'm thinking he would stop Nevinyrral's Disk at best.
Asher Perez
>That flavor text Always makes me miss Glok.
Ryan Walker
Squee brought some much-needed humanity to the goblins, who were the punching bag of much early MtG lore. Without him we probably would never have gotten Slobad.
Of course with today's shit writing it doesn't really make a difference.
Brody Hernandez
Why not use marisal?
Zachary Lewis
Does nobody use artifacts in your meta?
Luke Taylor
Mate just hit someone and blow the world up in fire
Owen Baker
What attracted me to Goblins wasn't their humanity.
It was Goblin Grenade.
Gavin Rodriguez
How is a pack foil not the fucking choice here?
Matthew Morgan
Are you saying the 70$ one isn't worth it?
Dylan Jones
They do for mana, though I just realized it works on equipment, as well.
Adam Williams
>tfw no goblin grenade in standard Goblin set when
Wyatt Morales
Grav shift only ups flying power, they'd be 4/2s
Camden Gomez
I have a Grand Arbiter deck that's half Azorius goodstuff and half taxes, and I'm probably going to pull it apart to make Bruna and Kambal. Good idea or not?
Michael Campbell
>tfw selling my complete Breya artifact recursion deck for around $2000 to someone like this Hopefully he gets better with practice, either way I just want the money.
Brandon Ortiz
This ought to do better.
Lucas Morgan
What are some decent infinite mana sinks?
Easton Anderson
Scorpion God by far, since he draws so ridiculously many cards.
