Oraculum Animi posted:I got the Oloro Commander deck and have been retooling it for life gain with the win condition of Sanguine Bond/Exquisite Blood or Felidar Sovereign, unfortunately that's not really enough and I usually end up being more of a roadblock for the big creature decks. Most of the time I end up losing to some combo that I can't stop that either mills my deck or does knocks my life to 0 at 1 damage increments. I still have fun because I've been able to stop some people from doing ridiculous things like draw 9 cards on an attack but it bugs me that this casual fun format is usually won by difficult to stop combos. Add Urza's Armor and an Eldrazi. PROBLEM SOLVED.

Elephant Ambush posted:I want my next Commander deck to be tribal elves. Can anyone link some really solid builds? I've done some research and I've seen a bunch of lists but most of them look bad and I wanna run a good solid deck. Your best generals for Elves are: Edric Gaddock Teeg Karona Momir Vig Phelddagrif Yeva They each have their merits. If you decide on a general, I can give you a decent shell to go with them, though.

As flavorful as it might be, I probably wouldn't put Temple of the False God in a 5 color deck. Especially one without a full complement of Duals/Fetches. In fact, I'd probably never put it in any deck, considering it's one of the biggest newbie trap lands. It annoys me that they continually shove it into every commander product.

Mondrian posted:Ok so I threw together a deck using Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord as the commander just using stuff I had at hand plus a few bulk rares as my first week of upgrades- let me know what you think: That's a real suspect strategy, and your weird deck construction rules make it pretty much impossible to give you accurate suggestions, but here goes: You got a lot of durdles in your deck. Examples: Syphon Soul, Feast on the Fallen, Rakshasa's Secret. Drop anything that doesn't directly impact the board meaningfully (giving you a couple +1/+1 counters conditionally, eventually isn't meaningful) and get some gas and interaction. Ambition's Cost, Harmonize, Hoarder's Greed, Harrowing Journey, Night's Whisper, Sign in Blood, Read the Bones, Syphon Mind (depending ont he size of the pods) Play dudes with good EtB/dies effects: Yavimaya Elder, Pelekka Wurm, Acidic Slime, Eternal Witness, Bone Shredder, Deadwood Treefolk, etc. Play some real removal: Go for the Throat, Betrayal of Flesh, Putrefy, Ghastly Demise, Slaughter, Snuff Out Also, get some dredgers. At the very least: Stinkweed Imp, Dakmor Salvage, and Golgari Thug But most importantly, play Diabolic Servitude.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:I play duel commander mostly which has a far more reasonable ban list. Both of the banlists are lovely for different reasons. One is missing completely broken things (Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, Hermit Druid, etc.), while the other has warped their format with their laughable bans (i.e. Winter Orb, Humility). The best thing that could happen is for WotC to co-opt both formats and make an official format that doesn't suck.

Hey, let me tell you how smart and cool Sheldon and The Buttweasels are. For instance, this time they had no loving clue what to do with the banlist and were totally loving wrong. I mean... wait... gently caress.

The Thread's Honorary McMagic posted:I meant the whole thing about EDH players not wanting to play to win and getting mad at early aggression. Most groups aren't like that, I really have no idea where that stereotype comes from. Maybe you should read Sheldon's 10,000 articles before you bring that weak-rear end poo poo up in my hood.

Gynovore posted:It's possible to go really weird places with this. For example, your Commander gets tucked (and you choose to allow it for some reason) then your opponent plays Praetor's Grasp and takes your Commander. Does he have to tell you? There was already a rule for this and the answer was yes.

Also, Icequake, Thermokarst, Beast Within, Ghost Quarter, Ice Storm, Rain of Tears, Rancid Earth, and Winter's Grasp. Beast Within and Ghost Quarter are both better than Sinkhole, Tec Edge, or Dust Bowl.

Grifter posted:Comments? Your curve is super high and a lot of your stuff is uncastable. You should be going more reanimator with self-mill than trying to sling 8 and 9 mana haymakers with no ramp and no protection. I mean, you are already handicapped by the fact that Karador is really bad. Don't make it harder on yourself. Also, get some cheap interaction like StP, Path, Snuff Out, etc. Right now, you have pretty much nothing to do on opponents' turns or before turn 5.

Grifter posted:Okay, let's see. I'd leave Decree in because it at least does something for 5 at instant speed. Karador is bad because he's an unprotected 3/4 who does pretty much nothing on his own and you still have to pay full price on your dudes from the yard. Teneb does better at the kind of deck you are trying to make. As a general WGB general, Doran and Anafenza are both 10x better than Karador. I wouldn't bother with Land Tax or Weathered Wayfarer as you aren't doing anything that really makes use of them. Wood Elves will generally get you farther than either of those.

Grifter posted:Going by your assessments, it seems like I'm just not on a very good path for this deck so I'm going to take a step back from it for now. What I was looking for from it was a playstyle that wasn't necessarily one that rushed to win or sought out a combo. What I want to do is exert some control over the game, while building value and eventually overwhelm the board similar to what I was trying to do here by gaining disproportionate value from board wipes. I realize that's a pretty general statement, but are their recommended generals for that? Ghost Dad 2.0 or Big Zurgo

Feedback: Figure out if you want to play a ~lolrandom~ deck with a $5 mana base and durdly cards where your commander doesn't even matter or if you want to play an actual Edric deck. There isn't anything to say about the former and you sure aren't even close to the latter right now.

Fiend Computer posted:This actually brings up a question I've had for awhile. How do people in the thread feel about alters/gold border in commander? I don't care personally and use a few gold bordered cards myself. I don't mind alters. But it takes a real shitheel to call a printed proxy of a $400 card an "alter".

Yo. Just to be clear, I never said not to let people use their proxies at the kitchen table. That's up to whoever's table it is. But alters are generally an artistic creation with a certain amount of effort contributed by the artist. Smugly gloating about your mass-printed ebay proxies and calling them "alters" cheapens the efforts of the artists who do create alters. If you do that, you are a shitheel. It's like putting a Type-R sticker on your old beater Civic and bragging that you got a ~sweet deal~ on a ~high-performance street racing machine~.

If you are poor and can't afford a good manabase, that's one thing. If you have a $1000+ dollar deck and a $5 manabase and whine because every 3rd game you can't cast anything, gently caress you, buddy.

Dohaeris posted:I snagged a Mind Seize deck to play with friends, mostly kitchen table shenanigans. They have a lot of older cards, I only have stuff from current standard. Anything super cheap and effective I can throw in there to improve it? Only about 15 cards out of the 100 in that deck are really even playable. The only thing that keeps it going at all is its absurdly designed commander (spoiler: he's better in the command zone than on the battlefield 90% of the time). Some cheap and effective additions: Mulldrifter Trinket Mage Treasure Mage Sword of the Meek Fleshbag Marauder Shriekmaw Magister Sphinx Myr Retriever Akroma's Vengeance Terminus Rout Mystic Remora Fact or Fiction Counterspell Brainstorm Ponder Animate Dead Necromancy Merciless Eviction Mortify Supreme Verdict Expedition Map And a mana base. But I don't have enough time to outline a budget Esper mana base. Just stay away from CipT monocolor lands or any land that makes colorless mana.
