EDH/COMMANDER GENERAL /edhg/

Olivia, Mobilized for War?

Every simic deck

Azusa.

wrong but she's in there

I thought chickatrice was like for little kids

Rake Those

>Post opening hand (no mulligan), guess commander.
Using tappedout playtest mode because I'm too lazy to get a good photograph of the physical cards, but I'll play.

I'd probably keep it. It's not the world's greatest hand though.

Mountain
Forest
Sheltered Thicket
Aggravated Assault
Kodama's Reach
Decimate
Oran-Rief Hydra

Malfegor

Titania

Kruphix

Angry Avacyn

Ruric Thar

Darksteel Citadel
Winds of Change
Mind Stone
Lightning Bolt
Warp World
Memory Jar
Chaos Warp

I mean, I guess you're not technically wrong, but...

>Ruric Thar
No, but he's in the deck.

Praying for a land.

Spaghetti?

I'd probably keep this.

>Angry Avacyn
Got it.
I decided to move forward with the test. T6 able to land Guardian Angel with Sunbird's into my choice of Day of Judgment or Ravages of War (probably Ravages), Magus of the Disk in hand for next turn even if I wipe lands. Naturally, if it were a real game, Avacyn would eat a counterspell right there.

Here's another, should be easy to guess. Hard choice to throw it back or not, probably depending on what I'm facing as a table. Should probably throw it back.

Scorp God? Pretty generic Rakdos

Ezuri

Uhhh R/G Omnath?

Daretti

Nope it's not Titania or Azusa

>Uhhh R/G Omnath?
Wrong again.

Sin Prodder, Faithless Looting, Sword of the Animist, Comet Storm, Mountain, Insurrection, Hostility.

Xenagod

Third time's the charm! He's my pride and joy.

Neheb the Eternal?

Nope, but could pretty much be swapped in outright.

And improve the deck tremendously

Slobad.

Jaya Ballard

closer

>He plays cEDH

Feldon?

Kurkesh

>He plays french/duel

fixed

So apparently some sort of drama is going around mtg for the past few days and this faggot is at the center? What's been happening?

E-Celebs throwing shit at each other. Just ignore it.

Lazav?

nope. I can see why you might think that with the RA and Keeper, though.

I am also lazy
I don't actually have a reliquary tower in there, I must have put that in by accident

Meren?

>Pic Related
0/10 would throw right back. Also probably impossible to guess, will do another hand for the same deck if folks try and are way off base.

Short summary, cosplayer Christine Sprankle announces her departure from MtG, names MTGHQ as a primary source of harassment. MTGHQ denies it, or doubles down, people post some mildly objectionable stuff he's done, he gets death threats. Now you've got one group of people calling for his head, and another spamming cuck.

No
Rashmi?

I'm still waiting... Cmon guys this should be easy.

Here's my other deck it should be even easier. p.s. good luck beating this hand

So he's still a faggot who doesn't play the game and bitches and moans while starting shit? Lame

>Rashmi?
And here's hand 2. Still not great but I don't think I'd go to 6 over it. Free mull, sure.

White/green lands?

I'm honestly baffled, but it could be Saffi ft. Lands.

Swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp

Chainer

Two different decks mate

Nope

So I've got a friend.

He's been playing EDH (Magic in general, actually) for about 6 months.

Once he learned how to actually play the game he went on a netdecking frenzy and just researched EDH and magic super hardcore

So he has this "booksmarts" take on magic, he knows a hell of a lot about competitive EDH decks and shit, but he has very little in-game experience compared to me and most of the rest of the group.

So this weird thing keeps happening. His first deck he built was a stax control deck (with no combos that just drags the game out forever), now his second deck is a combo deck that either wins on turn 4 or dies miserably after a single counterspell.

This would all be fine with me, however he doesn't actually enjoy playing them. He feels like a dickhead when he drags the game out with stax, and he gets a momentary high from the combo deck but then apologizes and switches back to his stax deck, even though no one asks him to.

It's a really strange situation. It's like he has an aversion to just playing a regular fucking EDH deck like everyone else does because he spent so much time researching the gay shit that try hards play.

What should I do? Should I do anything? He feels really guilty playing the decks he has spent good money on (More money than any of my decks cost.) and I hate to think that he has and will continue to waste his money on shit he isn't enjoying.

[[Kormus Bell]]

Nope not meren

Sounds like he enjoys winning, and is just being apologetic to deflect anger.

Just say "hey man, seems like you're not actually enjoying those stax and combo decks much. Want some advice on other archetypes?"

O-Katagachi?
Phage

It's sasaya

Get together with your group and put down a budget deckbuilding challenge. $75 is what I've found works best. It's enough to get a few pricier cards while still being required to make some cuts to stay under budget. When you're building something cheap you pay a lot more attention to the roles of the cards in your deck, and it gives you a greater appreciation for when things go well, which seems to be a problem for him, not paying attention to what he enjoys.

Ayyyyy good work and good dubs

>O-Katagachi?
dingdingding! I was hoping someone would get it from the more obvious spirit tribal, but I did test out at third hand that happened to show the 5C identity better.

Sounds like he should be playing a competitive format not EDH

How to beat kruphix god of horizons?

Tryhard in our playgroup keeps shitting on us with it

I have meren, kaalia, atraxa, budget is not a limitation

Build meren better, run Null Brooch

Keep Kruphix off the board and bait out counters.

define better, also will buy that, what a good card

...

Malfegor is correct!

...

bonus points for what the first tutor target with the mystical tutor would be

Ramos?

Most important parts of the build would be the mana base and the sac engine. You want lots of dorks to fuel Meren, I would say at least 4. Elves of Deep Shadow and Birds for sure. Also you want all the best rocks (crypt, sol ring, chrome mox, felwar stone since you don't have a talisman, vault not so much since you won't have a lot of high cmc).

Your main strategy will be to use Meren to recur cheap creatures with etb effects for maximum value. You want sac synergy cards like Viscera Seer and Grave Pact as well as workhorse creatures with repeatable effects like Fleshbag and Brain Maggot. Check out this list

tappedout.net/mtg-decks/death-staxes-firestorm4056s-competitive-meren/

nope

>Post opening hand (no mulligan), guess commander.

Swamp, Swamp, Urborg Tomb of Yawgmoth, Massacre Worm, Death Cloud, Draco, Sword of Light and Shadow.

One of these cards gives it away.

How much of a That Guy am I if I join a playgroup and ask if I can run nonlegendary commanders

Volrath

>Post opening hand (no mulligan), guess commander.

Yidris then

Volrath, too easy because of Draco

Ask if they are interested in playing Ambassador and present some fun choices like those you posted.

Yidris and you'll tutor for ramp

Cyclonic Rift should be banned

seedborne muse should be banned first

Post decks that are fun in multiplayer and don't make everyone hate you.

>no deck where I can tag out my creatures with other creatures through bounce effects, shuffling them back into the deck or saccing them
Jalira and Yisan are almost there but I would like something that isn't monocolor

It's grouphug, but not, but kind of.

If only transfigure were a fleshed out mechanic, that would be almost GB in MtG.

Yeah if there were more of those and maybe a couple more ninjutsu cards I think it would be possible to make a deck with the same kind of feel as GBs. Did maro ever say where transfigure is on the storm scale?

Look, I fixed Samut. Now I won't feel bad for playing her.

Nice trips, speedster.

That's the same except for the art, no? Also why doesn't she just have "Creatures you control have haste" rather than breaking it into two statics?

Nope

>her

She's a boring but decent Commander. But her art is just atrocious.

I'm building this, post list.

The art is a huge improvement but she's still a fucking mess of stapled design.
