Oh you're playing some blue/red/green spot removal on my Animar? Nothing personal, kid.

>grab a leftover HoD prepack at the store for lol
>pull pic related

Welp, now what?

Fuck friends and build RW Stax

Blood Pod desu

>thread question
I love playing fork or shunt effects in my red decks. Using them to counter counters makes me hard.

(With shunt effects, you can't make a counterspell target itself, but you can change the target to shunt since it's still technically on the stack as it resolves. Then the counterspell is countered on resolution since it no longer has a legal target. )

>9 mana open
>Lemme just cycle my cantrip bro, i swear nothing is going to happen

Sell it and buy one with better design

I want to play Sanguine Bond in one of my decks, but don't want to include babby's first combo with Exquisite Blood. Would anyone even believe me?

Commander, double dubz?

no

Probably not even worth including it then...

Literally no one would believe that you are playing a value Sanguine Bond seeing how FREE it is to include Exquisite Blood and have some free wins.

I want to build a deck without any really obvious combo pieces, and that can function without combos, but is still full of combos. Probably asking a lot, but whatever. One combo I want to try out is Children of Korlis plus Treasonous Ogre, plus some kind of recursion. There's also Sun Titan with Gift of Immortality and a sac outlet, Goblin Sharpshooter with Elemental Mastery... Any ideas? Probably some kind of Aristocrats deck, maybe Alesha.

You are either playing with obvious combo cards, or value non-combo cards, or bad cards, or obscure cards with obscure effect that are most likely combo cards.

So yeah, you are asking for a lot, and when people see a card that resembles a combo they will immediately think your entire deck is trying to combo off.

Need more draw, stax and consistency.

Like I said in the previous thread :).
If anyone wants to play MTG like 20 years ago.
Old Commander, only allowed cards before Mirrodin, and half of the creatures rounded down needs to be legendary creatures. Right now Im playing Volrath, and my friend plays Maraxus. Ill hope all of you going to enjoy this kichen table rules :) also mixable with planechase

Yeah you're probably right. I was trying to go with obscure cards with obscure effects, but that's probably pretty transparent.

I still want to break Treasonous Ogre though.

Fine with me.

Something RW. Anya or Tajic

Is there any way to do budget stax, and even still have two or more colors? Three is greedy to stay on budget (

How do I get better/faster at shuffling? I made an animar deck I really like but I feel like a shuffle a lot between all the different land ramp effects and fetches.

By my count a Mogis deck could have about 29 stax cards that cost $2 or less.

I fucking hate that they made Exquisite Blood for this very reason.

I'm not sure you're really going to break it. It's just decent ramp in a color that very much needs it.

>nhentai tags

>the best kind of pornagrahs

>Start building a new commander
>Get bored of it at around 50% of having the deck completed
>Rinse and repeat
I have, to this day, only 2 commander decks and one of them came to be from a precon. How do I start commiting more heavily even if I start to dislike the resulting deck around halfway completion?

what are some funny cards to clone repeatedly in BUG colors? i'm building like a silly clone tribal thing

I'm thinking stuff like pic related, or faerie artisan, tendershoot dryad and maybe magus of the mind

I need to add more wipes to my Alesha deck, which of these would you take, if you could only pick two?

Decklist:
tappedout.net/mtg-decks/transgender-tyranny/

Look up other deck lists for the commander. If need be, then proxy it for 2 or 3 games and see if you like the way it works. If so, start building it (without proxies preferably). If not, look at another commander

Id add the 3 of them.

Fuck everyone elses creatures.

Maybe just spend time looking at all the different stuff you could make until something clicks. Are you usually picking tier1 commanders? I get bored with the 'competitive' stuff sometimes.

Heh nothing personnel kid

Give me a cool elf EDH deck and a cool blue one. NOW.

anta baka?!

Like, two separate commanders or an elf that also has blue? Also, don't be so bossy. This is a nice thread.

the art looks very... Warcrafty

I include Sanguine Bond in my Kokusho deck cuz it's funny to drain my opponents for 5, then punch someone in the face for 15 (4 player game). Dont have exuisite blood tho.

Now, is this fun? I usually like WOMEN.
You little loli slut. You'll do as I say and you'll kiss me after.

Fuck yeah Newzuri is the man. Nothing like seeing players in fear as you play a Blighted Agent with some exp counters going on as they try to convince you how the other guy is the problem at the table.

Outvalue your opponents and punch them in the face with a Craterhoof

This is the only card in the format that pisses me off. It's so fucking annoying to play against.

>This is the only card in the format that pisses me off.
Let's just throw any semblance of balance out the window and suck blue's cock


Again

>wanna build a stax style deck but don't out of respect for my playgroup
>after every week I feel closer to doing it
After I've built my fuck politics facepunch speedwagon red deck I'm gonna do it.

having old dual lands in your edh decks makes you a douche / try-hard ?

This deck would be much sweeter with Prophet of Kruphix unbanned. Then maybe it wouldn't be counterspell and cantrips, the deck.

She looks rad as heck, but would she even get any play or would everyone instantly remove her?

Do both mono red stax is easily the most fun stax
Derevi or feldon pick your poison

Are you outspending our opponents for free wins or does the deck still aim for the same powerlevel and consistency relative to your group?

Playgroup just loves Counterspells too much

Oloro hard control
Teferi hard control
Narset hard control
Oona hard control
Niv-Mizzet hard control
Agustin hard control
Derevi hard control
Atraxa hard control

What are some good green or blue cards that makes life miserable to counterspell freaks? Id guess shit like pic related, but there has to be something out there that completely locks counters out of the game.

city of solitude and dosan of the falling leaf

Are there any cards/effects that blink a land or lands?

tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ghalta-primal-bro/

what the fuck
this is amazing

Just happen to have some old dual lands , bought them long ago, 2003 ish before the prices got ridiculously high .

pic not related

Surrak beats.
Crop Rotation for Boseiju everygame.
Play stuff that's either too insignificant to counter (Edric) or stuff that puts things in the battlefield, not allowing for a counter(Yisan)

Ghostly Flicker i guess

>I skip my next 1 million turns, play Teferi's Protection, and pass.

No, not at all. I can't even begin to understand the mindset of people who think that.

I mean

I'm gonna build Azor stax so I can shout I AM THE LAW.

Bouncy cat

>In response i crack Cabal Pit targeting Grand Abolisher, everyone else also skips their next million turns, and the game resumes as normal

stale piss-break combo, boyo :^)

Dosan, City of Solitude, Vexing Shusher, Spellbreaker Behemoth, Price of Glory, War's Toll, Citadel of Pain, Mana Maze, Grand Abolisher, Conqueror's Flail

oh, and Leyline of Lifeforce.

Just use hazoret.

>On my turn I cast Leyline Of Punishment and start hitting you with my commander

Build commanders that you love for the flavor and character instead of the mechanics.

>Mana Maze

Damn, thats a fun card to play.

>tfw Sunbird's Invocation survives turn rotation

I thought about modifying my elves deck to do this with ghalta lol.

Just hard ramp and cast him like turn 3 or 4. Having him out that early is a lot of commander damage really quick.

>mind's dilation resolves

My dick cannot be more erect

tappedout.net/mtg-decks/commander-overlord/

Convince me not to play this.

>4.5k dollars

I print of my decks. Give 'em cute or funny alters. Then me and my friends play. I'm too stingy to spend money on MTG cards, but I love playing it.

Gonna try this one too.

tappedout.net/mtg-decks/the-goddess-of-elves/

the more i weaken my decks with jank and random off-theme shit, the more i seem to win with them. they're often more fun too. kind of weird and counter-intuitive

>hazoret
she looks like a lil wiener, latulla has amazing art and great lore

As a long time player of slivers; I warn you that they can get pretty stale pretty fast. This would be more of a problem if you were buying them but even at the time taken to print them off you may be disappointed with how they play. Especially with a tutor in the CZ.
Even the sliver deck that i poured heart and soul into after wanting to build for years I've found myself playing less and less. It's sad and they are fun at times but ... be warned that it may not last for long.

Love this since first seeing the art

>destroy enchant, You skip your next turn
>"I keep skipping turns"

Wat?

This seems pretty good for any token deck with white. Has anyone played with it? Thoughts?

0 is the cost, skipping turn is the effect friendo :^)

Lame

Ah that's bad to hear. I'll give it a pass then. I guess they just look cooler than they play. I'll try an elf one.

>UW fun police
>promise not to play anymore blue counterspells
>give somebody an anyurism

>Path to exile their commander
>Lapse their in-response counterspell

Seriously why does this card exist, it's not white at all. It's less white than Mana Tithe, and that's specifically made to be off color.

Really want to get a foil of my commander, but those fucking shooting stars are gaudy as hell. Whoever thought those were a good idea requires reprimanding

>cat snake

settle down there maro

But wait, there's more!

Okie dokie friend-o

Progenitor Mimic, Biovisionary, Giant Adephage, Spawnwrithe, depending on your colors Dualcaster and Gary. The navigator from the newest set, if you’ve got Momir Vig + at least two clones or token clones

Er,

>targeting a nonexistent creature.

Lol. I think hazoret looks more fun. I’m also more into the Egypt thing she has going, plus she’s indestructible. Her play style is simple too.

>discard for shock

Fucking love Mana Tithe

good suggestions thanks

>blue's cock
why does this happen so often?
