that flavor text

Another good choice for that guy building the meme deck from last thread,

they can choose the same step or phase for each fatespinner
still a cool card tho

card text is just rotated with the whole card frame
I get the joke
but the word order in the flavor text is reversed, but the rest of the formatting is the same
That irks me to no end. I get that it's separately referring to the turn order being reversed, but it would feel more consistent if they also mirrored the flavor text typeface or something.

I fucking love this card. I remember back in the day splashing blue in my fungus deck just for that to get tons and tons of saprolings.

This is literally my #1 target for removal. I will banish Fatespinners before Seedborn Muses, Consecrated Sphinxes, and Blightsteel Colossi.

i gotta run this. i don't know what in...but something.

This card is brutal in Sen Triplets.

Came here to post this. Amazing card that slips under the radar somehow. My Zedruu deck plays a ton of upkeep triggers.

you can get an extra mana out of it for a turn
Proliferate bonus is negligible

My friends are unfortunately less into MTG than I am, so I usually build better decks and I slowly beat them. I need a deck that immediately makes me the archenemy to even the most thick guy, but isn't a combo deck. Something that makes them go "oh shit"

people post online about card curling all the time and i have never had a single card curl even a little. i hate foils tho, so that might be a factor, but otherwise you need to remember that the internet makes a mountain out of every mole hill.

none of my A25 cards have any curl.

because you can tap it to add a charge counter and then remove that charge counter at the beginning of your precombat main phase to add one mana of any color.

i know that feeling. i've got my fingers crossed tho.

You're technically right.
Grixis, Jund, Temur and Jeskai seem the most appealing, but all the "good" commanders have a bad rap, and I don't want to be the guy at the table who's just targeted because of my commander, and the rest are eh.

So why is this 10 dollars

Its not $10 you drooling tard, its $4.
Second off, it can ramp you for 2 mana instead of just one. So if its your only ramp you draw and you play it turn 3, turn 4 you can lay down a 6 drop.

Quit being a whiner
GRIXIS - Nicol Bolas, Sedris
JUND - Xira Arien, Darigaaz
TEMUR - Surrak Dragonclaw
JESKAI - this is hard, but Ruhan?

Man, the play group that plays at the new comic and game store (that just opened up a month ago) is trying to do an EDH league. We had a poll on two separate sets of scoring rules, and this one guy just will not accept Order of Elimination points. He’s gone on a huge rant about why is bad and wrong and unfun, called out literally everybody who had voted for it, and then posted an entirely new poll specifically for Order of Elimination points.

I’ve had three different people who were gung-ho about the league tell me that if it’s going to be like this they aren’t going to play.

I don’t want this new game store to lose business because this one guy has a stick up his ass about one particular way of scoring.

How do you guys feel about this?

I buy only one copy of a card if its value is over 10$. I put those cards in a binder and put proxies of them in all my decks. If someone gets pissed at my proxies (which are good quality) I show them the real card in the binder. Some people are still pissed though. Why? Am I just surrounded by rich autists?

Attached: 1518898073738.jpg (552 KB, 2500x2819)

You can't arcum a sol ring.

You've killed this blossoming gamestore with your stupid shit user. You should be ashamed.

All extra rules are horrible, without exception, particularly scoring points for your victories or whatever. You just have 4 player pods where you play down to see who wins, then do another tournament. If people are faggots such as yourself, have a "casual" tournament with all your bullshit separate from the actual tournament with significantly worse prize support. Why? Because cherry picking rules so you win is stupid, regardless of spike and his $5k deck.

Just unsleeve the card and put it in the deck that you're playing. Easier than to deal with autism

If people get buttmad, then why not just interchange the cards between decks when needed?

You already know the answer.

That’s the thing. This Spike was the guy pushing for the League. The difference is he wanted a bunch of rules like “Get points for sickest play” or “Best Deck”. But a reasonable rule comes around where it’s not winner takes all, and he fucking explodes.

Luckily it’s just an EDH league, and he’s very unlikely to come to any other event.

Varolz scavenge deck.

That's supremely autistic. Just sit the fucker down and tell him "dude, your deck is above group power level, tone it down"

Well i got some new cards today /edh/ My friend pawned them off to me after he told me he's returning to mexico. Apparently he got banned from the school and labeled a dangerous person after someone reported him to the police for making threats. I don't believe it myself, the guy's too nice for that. I'm always that guy who takes his friends cards if they're taking a break or leaving the game but, fuck. i'm just sitting here at two in the morning with his cards in my hands and just feeling a bit hollow about the whole ordeal. at least he got his bachelors while he was here but he was going for his masters.

This and world at war in my Yidris deck has turned it up to 11, it’s insane

Oh wait, you are supporting the idea that its good to have good prize support for first, slightly worse for second, worse than that for 3rd, etc?

You are fucking retarded and he is right. That shit would encourage collusion like no other.

That being said, EDH with any prize support on the line for winning is fucking retarded and you will never get a good meta that way.

If you want a good model for your LGS to follow, I have successful one that works at an LGS I go to. They have EDH nights once a week, and you sign up on a sheet when you show up and play a game. As long as you play at least one game you get entered into a raffle. Each week you show up to play on EDH night you get entered again. Once a month on a random EDH night they draw the prizes, which are usually just playmats, sleeves, and deckboxes, but they do other stuff from time to time, like special promotional material they get from wotc too, like airships and posters, or a FtV. The number of prizes they give away is tied to how many people are showing up to events (we average 20+ people an EDH night)

There is no cover or anything, so you might ask yourself "How does the shop make money?" and the answer to that, other than keeping lots of food and drink to sell on hand, is to actually cater to EDH players. They actually have plenty of deckboxes in stock for double sleeved 100 card decks in variety of colors and styles. They keep EDH singles in stock whenever they can, and keep an online database of their singles so you don't have to dig through boxes for jank. Finally their sleeve collection is enormous (and they are sure to stock every kind of Dragonshield they can, since its really popular for EDH for a lot of reasons).

They actually have a binder specifically for sleeves, so people can pick up the sleeves and check out their color, feel, and opacity.

Run something like this by them and see what you can do. They have had a lot of success with it.

I think you’re kinda a dick, and I know the playgroup around here well enough that I’d be surprised and disappointed if people colluded. Even then this Spike guy who I have been arguing with hasn’t raised that point.

However, the way your store runs things sounds great. I’m gonna make a note of it, and I’ll suggest we try that if/when this EDH League falls through. Thanks for that.

That... is actually quite possible. I guess it depends if they think after SOI it's too soon for another big eldritch monster. Plus it might not fit with the rest of the story they have planned.

It is what I hope for but I think it will not happen.
I like her, so much, she was the proto-Eldrazi and much more Lovercraftian than their reprise in BFZ and SOI.
I mean, she could move between planes without being a planeswalker, simply because she had (has?) so much power that she didn't care. To slow her, making her sleep, she had to be put in a motherfucking glacier.
But so soon after having four Eldrazi-dedicated sets... I doubt we will see her

Marit Lage is The Raven Man

I honestly really, really hope we see a new card of her. Holy crap that would be cool.

Honestly I love the Eldrazi, so I was hoping we could get something like that from this block as well. I mean, how could something so powerful go unnoticed for so long unless it went to a different plane? Surely WotC has recognized how popular Dark Depths has become over the years and how people want to know more about Marit Lage. And she's even depicted on that new saga card called Time of Ice. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we get her as a card in this block.

I mean, it could be possible. That would be really cool, but for some reason I get the feeling that isn't the case. I'd like it to be. Like the Raven Man has been a projection or a hallucination that Marit Lage has put into Liliana's head all this time.

Unban Academy or ban Cradle. Thats all, thanks.

Is that true? I don't know much about the lore on Marit Lage. So Liliana's demons have been keeping her asleep? But why?

No, just stupid headcannon I just made.
All we know about Marit Lage it is that she was a ridiculously powerful, plane-crossing, Chtulu-like sorceress that "wreaked havoc" before the Ice Age, and was then put into a glacier to sleep. And she was worshipped by a cult

Attached: Marit-Lage.jpg (54 KB, 640x445)

Got the same feeling. I've made so many EDH decks throughout the years that at this point any time I look at a new commander, I can already see the decklist in my head and I know exactly how it would play out.

I want to build a new deck but I don't see any point. I need something super unique that would introduce a new archetype to the format.

I think no one made an Elder tribal

they’re not going to do marit lage this time around because she would distract from bolas, but wotc being willing to even acknowledge her with her tentaclies Time of Ice art is a start

5 Color Horse Tribal. Be sure to have Sun Quan in your deck so your horses can have horsemanship.

I mean, we know Emrakul spoke to Nissa while she was on Amonkhet...so I'm willing to be it's possible to do by any powerful beings that are able to planeswalk without being a planeswalker. You might be onto something.

But...I don't care about Bolas. He's just a big douchebag. That's about it. I want to see bigger and more interesting evil things at play in the story.

Some people are still pissed though. Why?

because you're playing with fake cards. it doesn't matter if you own the card if it's not in play. people proxying the same expensive staple across all their decks come across as supremely autistic. also, a lot of your opponents would also probably proxy the same across all their decks, but they don't because proxying isn't legal.

essentially, they're mad because you're breaking the rules. if you want to proxy, ask for consent of every person at your table. and don't whine if people start proxying mana crypts they don't own all of a sudden, because a proxy is a proxy.

I honestly really, really hope we see a new card of her. Holy crap that would be cool.
