Janky Combos Edition

Hm? Tap two dudes to get two mana and draw a card once? Nah, that doesn’t seem great. Good flavor though.

>Thread question
>Favourite monocolour commander?
Patron of the Moon. Also write a title next time.

No, that would be tap two dudes, get 4 mana any color and draw two. It's a good cantrip but I prefer bigger rituals in Wort.

It probably includes Paradox Engine and some rituals for a huge Fireball of some sort.

You forgot the subject, you double nigger

Y/N?

>>Thread question
>>Favourite monocolour commander?

You're fucking meme kys

Uh, no, I am completely serious.

>Thread Question
Kira, Great Glass Spinner. Completely unstoppable 1v1, too fast for a 4 player group to handle, and just janky enough to smash face with a weird control/midrange game plan. Fucking Guile and Spellskite man.

>Favourite mono
Bruna, Fading Light

Typos on cards, and seems kinda contrived compared to stuff like planechase / archenemy. I'll say as a rule in general, if it REQUIRES commander, it's probably shite, or at least very leery.

Post list pls, enlighten me senpai

of these its really close between walker nob and heartless both decks are really fun for casual as fuck tables

>You're fucking meme [[insert meme here]]

>letting people steal my secret tech that easily
Honestly user it's super easy and straight forward. The deck has three main components: counterspells, ramp, and fatties. You play Kira t3 every game, ramp into something fuckhuge, and laugh as your opponents cant do anything about your Jin-Gitaxias/Blightsteel/Stormtide Leviathan/Ulamog. The biggest trick is having a fuckton of ways to get dead draws out of your hand, or running few enough wincons to cantrip your way to victory. I've run both versions, and while the cantrip version is more consistent, the tons of fatties version can set up some shenanigans if you work it right.

>Thread Question
Bosh Iron Golem is the best mono red artifact general fight me.

So I'm building r/w angels tribal, these cunts are so expensive to cas should I just go for Kaalia instead? Surely there has to be a good way to actually get to the 6-9 mana range before I'm dead right?

>being this whiny

>r/w angels tribal
yeah its going to suck
bad idea etc etc etc.
if you want a r/w angels deck that isnt just hoping to not die the first 7 turns of the game r/w avacyn is a good option but you will need a decent amount of non-angel creatures that both fill out the lower part of your curve and also help flip her

Do you have a list? I play Kurkesh, but I'm not sure about him.

Just go mono-white Avacyn and fill the deck with board wipes, user.

Don't forget Armageddon

How good is pic related? Am I better off just playing patron of the moon if I want to play a seaworld deck since everything is so expensive?

Chisei and things with cumulative upkeep

I used to run Armageddon and Catastrophe (can't afford Ravages) but my friends got so buttpained that I removed them.

But by all means, if buttpain doesn't bother you, they're amazing with Avacyn. And Worldslayer. Avacyn was born to wield that sword.

Memes?

I ran Sheoldred and Blue Braids for a hot second, then realized I didn't like mono-colored decks all that much. Though if I had to give another stab at it, it'd probably be Thassa Sea Monster Tribal.

Scry would help you get Quest for Ula's Temple to be more consistent, plus you have a way to get your big dick sea monsters through thanks to her mana sink ability.

formatting sucks

Sure, but you do have to do the initial payment.

Do you guys think the praetors will get any lower? Most of them are around ~10 dollars for the NP versions, which is the only version to get because watermark.
They're basically all great except for maybe Urabrask right?

I wanna build a RU top deck fuckery/miracles kinda thing with arjun at the helm. Is there any secret tech y'all would recommend for this?

Right now we have a tiny bump in supply thanks to the Hascon draft event for Iconic, but the actual release of Iconic could bring them lower. It's doubtful the price will go up while Iconic looms in the future, so it's probably pretty safe to wait it out.

My general guideline is that prices for singles are at their lowest after 2-6 months after a set's release. Compare with Elesh Norn before and after MM15.

I like the foil stamped cards

In my image? It was made by a different user who was offering it out a little while back, and honestly, I quite like it.

I don't see any reason to dislike it, unless you're a purist who only likes old card frames / rustic design in mtg.

I don't know what 75% means but I have my list ready. Works for my meta

tappedout.net/mtg-decks/gruul-mom-smackdown/

75% is a subformat of commander where you build a competitive edh deck and then pick 25 cards at random and burn them or dispose of them in a similar fashion

...

Na they just don't have the rule text.

I forgot to mention you don't get to know wich cards got taken out, hence the burning to prevent cheating

thats not what it is at all, you trolls.

Nice falseflagging, i bet you're one of those anti-75% poorfags that shit up the thread costantly

What is user's favorite deck architype?

Turnin' creatures sideways in any number of ways.

Is the EDH discord still around? I kinda miss it

I don't give a shit what 75% is. Someone asked for a Wort decklist so I provided mine

Any opinions on these?

Looking back on how all my commanders are sub tier 3, I could understand how any one's text could feasibly not be common knowledge, apologies.

I'd struggle playing a deck having NO tax/stax elements, but I couldn't go all in on it. It's definitely my favourite secondary focus/spash.

5c x tribal

>boros
>having converted mana costs less than 4

Show me your Xenagos list.

>adriana
>bad
hohohoho

plz tell me why she is not bad

Mistcutter Hydra is my mvp

creatures you control get +3/+3 is bretty good
sure two combat phases seems better but if you cant profitably swing in with the team whats the point
also shes a 7/7 for 5 if you have a halfway decent deck

so a worse jor kadeen

>worse
+3/+3
vs
+3/+0
also
metal craft vs having 3 creatures

m8 u 2 are arguing about the shittiest color combination they are all shit you fucking retards

>m8 u 2 are arguing
yeah get used to it newfag

Next you will say you were merely pretending to be retarded.

>how dare people have discussions on subpar cards

Not the guy who called them all shit but you implied that his point was only that he didn't like people arguing.
If you didn't want to look like an idiot, you should have made the post I'm replying to in response to him.

Need help choosing my next Commander. Not opposed to selecting one not pictured, just found these guys in my EDH cards stack(s)

Turn up the brightness m8. what is your power level in your group?

>Bruse Tarl Usable
>Adriana in trash
>Kalemne somehow worse than Bruse Tarl

Seriously

Ya sorry bout that desu. The group is super casual, often using Anthology decks and precons. However, there's another store that has a EDH night that I'm thinking of joining.

Currently I have a Mirri tokens deck and I'm almost done building Alesha that I'll take to test the waters

Arahbo - Decent choice if you want a fast commander. He likes to explode out of the gate. Can potentially turn 3 someone with a perfect hand using Lost Leonin and Duelist Heritage. Doesn't have a ton of staying power.

Nazahn - Fun equipment lord. Good choice if you have a ton of equip support / swords laying around.

Surrak - Fun, but a poor choice for Temir colors. Good in the 99, okay if you want to build a non-threatening commander.

Momir - Good choice if you want to combo. Expect to be hated off the table in multiplayer, either from people fearing combo or people who don't want to wait for constant tutor effects.

Brion - Fun commander. Seen fun jank builds of him. Favorite being one using Preacher and similar effects to borrow enemy monsters then fling them at opponents.

Grenzo - Fun utility commander. Can do nutty things if built right. Good choice if you like to say "In response" a lot.

Sek'Kuar - Alright choice if you want to do token swarm, though not the best. If you're looking to build something fun and not threatening for kitchen table MTG he's probably your best choice here.

Ghave - Once the go-to for BGW. He's seen better days. Better in the 99 of someone else at this point. Also his key cards are expensive. Wouldn't recommend if you don't happen to have a Doubling Season already laying around.

Bruse Tarl lets you play other colors, which pretty much makes him automatically better than any of the other ones.

Storm Kess is boring and a bit too far above the power level of my meta, so I'm rebuilding it into pure jank Hive Mind Kess. Besides the obvious, what's good/funny in combination with Hive Mind?

Very close.

>Gisela
Best girl. Expensive to cast but at least she combos with shit outside of combat
>Archangel Avacyn
Great for combos! She's one of two that has really grown on me from first impressions
>Brion
An old standby but not really good, kind of the bottom edge of the usable tier
>Iroas
His second and third abilities are a little redundant-feeling (both help prevent blocking) but hes still the boss of lolcombat: the Deck
>Aurelia
Infinites or GTFO
>Tajic & Jor
Basically the walking incarnations of what's wrong with Boros: their singular focus on swinging with creatures. The power lefel on them I guess is high enough to make something happen, at least for Jor, but I almost feel like they should be in a middle tier with Adriana
>Basandra
Let's be honest, she's saved from the trash heap primarily by Terese's art making us WANT to find a way she worls. At least she's more tactical than Jor/Tajic/Iroas but the fact that she locks off your own combat tricks is annoying as hell.
>Depala
This one is like wine: Getting better with age. When KLD dropped I overlooked her. AER brought a second glance. Now we know vehicles are deciduous so she likely has a long not block-constructed life to look forward to.
>Bruse
Partners are practically their own thing. The only partner Bruse could run with and still be a "Boros" commander is the rightfully trash Akiri. He's better than she but not for boros.dec

>That trash tier
Kalemne deserves special attention because not only is she trash, the people who play her are subhuman garbage in a way the others aren't. Mentioned earlier that Adriana is close enough to reasonable (her main crime being existing as dull "swing out" shit) that she should probably sit in Tier Idiot with Jor and Tajic. Other than that, yeah, they are all garbage.

>laugh as your opponents cant do anything about your
Does nobody play wraths in your meta? Or are they all casual T6 craw wurm babbies

>Arahbo
Are you playing 1v1? No? Pass
>Momir
He's pretty stronk, and will be treated as such
>Brion
Do you REALLY want to be stuck inBoros?
>Sek'Kuar
My favorite of the lot, he exists at the kitchen table sweet spot.
>Nazahn
I know it loses green but Sram isjust about everything this guy wants to be, but better.
>Surrak
He's shitty, but temur is stronk. Take from that what you will, he's the wedge equivalent of playing someone like Livonya Silone or Jasmine Boreal.
>Grenzo 1
I have an unusual fondness for this guy, especially with Reito Lantern
>Ghave
Are you trying to move towards CEDH? Do you have doubling season? He may not have aged well but he's still a bit of a killer for kitchen tables, much like momir.

I assume by "The Obvious" you mean Pact of the Titan to kill anybody nonred (and maybe Slaughter Pact). Or did you instead mean to grab an Epic spell? Because Hive Minding Eternal Dominion, especially if you can copy yours, seems fun.

In the context of being "Boros" commanders, I don't think Partner should really be taken into consideration. Once you're using another partner, you're not really playing Boros anymore.

aha, right, the epic spells. sounds like a real fun choice.

i was also thinking one with nothing because i can recover from being hellbent way better than any other deck at the table.

I really appreciate the response user. Brion was the commander I wanted to build a deck on but since I have a mardu Alesha deck with a similar theme to Brion (recurrent sac with goblin bombardments, etc), I should pass on him. Might throw him in Alesha's 99 though.

Sadly I don't have doubling season yet. I started playing when Hour of D was released and have been grabbing edh staples since. Starting from cheapest to most expensive

There's a few more commanders I was interested in but I'm going to look at some Sek'Kuar lists and see if it can convince me

Sek'Kuar has two general routes to take: death triggers or token spam. The token spam route benefits from Doubling Season, but the cheaper Parallel Lives and Primal Vigor work too. If you're going the death route recurring creature recovery like Oversold Cemetery, Phyrexian Reclamation, or Tortured Existence are good bets. You can also stuff your deck with sack outlets like Ashnod's Alter or Greater Good to better control the flow of your creatures, and also use it as a set up for a surprise Living Death. If you go that route be sure to include Bojuka Bog, Agent of Erabos, and/or Crypt Incursion to keep your opponents from winning off your Living Death.

Sek'Kuar is fun, though I broke mine apart to build Tana the Bloodsower / Ravos Soultender partner, since that combo does the same thing, but also has access to white, so I can run stuff like Mentor of the Meek, Anointed Procession, and Intangible Virtue.

You should also consider the "And stay Tapped" spells from HoD, particularly Bontu's, since they will tap down everybody and Bontu's grants no extra value to the other jokers. You could even drop Bontu's Last Reckoning, wait for the copies to resolve, and then throw Arcane Denial to draw at least two cards and maybe untap your lands. Depending on your curve versus the table, you might even mess with Hazoret's. Kefnet's is fine if you don't have kess out or have her protected from the steal.

Consider non-spell ways to change the targets of spells. I think there are some? Ah, Echo Mage on a spell way, at least.

How do you like those partners? I was considering building a Tana/Tymna deck, cause they seemed to naturally be buddies.

I've got a Nivmagus on the list to exile detrimental spells that I control

I would like to confirm something, regarding Urborg.

So if I have a land, let's say a mountain. Urborg is played.

Does my mountain now generate RB or either R or B?

Return to Tarkir WHEN? I need more stompy dragons to smash people with.

>Hive Minded One with Nothing
user, you're my kind of guy

>Tarkir
oh man that was a fun time for everthing but standard
so many cool legends, new 3color lands, fetches, the walkers were awesome (btw pic related never gets used did people forget about him) the drafts were super fun in my opinion the art was amazing and it brought back delve which is my favorite mechanic

R or B

Perfect

>btw pic related never gets used did people forget about him

He's kind of awkward to use thanks to his colors. You mostly only see him in 5C dragons.

Might be my favorite partner combo. Here's the decklist if you want to see. The general idea is to pump out dudes and keep up the aggro, using Ravos more as a +1/+1 lord, though his secondary ability lets me recover combat losses without issue. And sleeper MVP is Fanatical Devotion. Not a lot of regen-hate out there right now, so often it means keeping half of my board during a wipe, or trading janky tokens for the more important creatures.

>Ink-Eyes
That's awesome, haven't ran her in anything since my mono-B deck. That's a good idea.
Personally i'd still run Tymna over Ravos, but they're both cool and can understand why people would want to run either.
