>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.
Yeah, I know he doesn't look like a Capashen, but I guess Jamurra took over the world in the last 60 years. They had every advantage, after all, what with one of their major nations being eternally phased out.

You're in luck user! The chances of seeing it again are exactly the same as before you saw it the first time!

Anyone here got experience with Hackball? There's this 60 bucks list online that I found on reddit and it seems fun, competitive and upgradeable. I want something to enter the format and hackball seems like the best way to do it for very cheap. Well, at least better than Sidisi ANT glass cannon, that is.
you can get an extra mana out of it for a turn Proliferate bonus is negligible
Brandon Thompson
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"
The things I am coming up are >haste >big dudes >board wipes
any suggestions on something else?

>when you know what colors you want to play but none of the commanders of that color are overly appealing
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.
Seems like a good idea; I was thinking Gishath, but that pigeonholed me into janky dinos
Anthony Jones
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.
Nolan Rodriguez
>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.
Jacob Smith
Quit being a whiner GRIXIS - Nicol Bolas, Sedris JUND - Xira Arien, Darigaaz TEMUR - Surrak Dragonclaw JESKAI - this is hard, but Ruhan?
there are always partners
Don't be a pussy, buy all the big Dinos and ramp like crazy
Grayson Phillips
Well, that's really saucy. Nature's will could also fuck people over.

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.
Zachary Robinson
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?
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.
Kevin Thompson
Just unsleeve the card and put it in the deck that you're playing. Easier than to deal with autism
Jaxon Rogers
If people get buttmad, then why not just interchange the cards between decks when needed?

>point to binder >has the card but doesn't actually play with it I doubt I'd say anything, but I find this super annoying. Why did you even get the card if you're literally not going to play with it? Take the thirty seconds to switch it over to the deck you're playing.

what are the best decks for loaming hard and fast?
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.
David Perry
Varolz scavenge deck.
Cooper Cook
That's supremely autistic. Just sit the fucker down and tell him "dude, your deck is above group power level, tone it down"
Levi Brown
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. I'm sorry, i don't normally blog post but i needed to vent. hope your days go better anons.
This and world at war in my Yidris deck has turned it up to 11, it’s insane
Thomas James
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.

Yesterday's Saga rekindled in me the desire to see big girl Marit Lage again. Suggestion for a good commander for playing her? The only idea I had is Karona for an avatar Tribal
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.

>Me timmy me usually smash >Got bored of making creature based decks for Edh because I found myself just putting the same creatures in over and over >Made a Kess Spellslinger deck because it she looked fun >Fine tuned the deck >having a fucking blast Now I am looking into Yidris, can you go spellslinger value etb creatures? He seems really good with delve cards because of the incidental value.
I built a token deck that's more about big scary tokens then little piddly numbers with my man at the helm. It's a shame the embalmed copy doesn't do commander dmg.
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.
