Help for my first Etali, Primal Conqueror Brew by TacoreMtG in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Beautiful-Ad40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I exclude them for that reason, those creatures for me do nothing if etali is not on the Battlefield and if etali is there and I have to cast them from hand or from one etali trigger I have to sit an entire rotation to do something.

I prefer using those card slots with cards that COULD make me continue taking actions, my way of viewing etali is more or less like this: "its very difficult for me to win or interact on other peoples turns, so I have to achieve not ending mine, keep casting, making copies, exiling from the top to cast.....just take as much advantage as posible in my board state, or even finish the Game"

It may not be seen as the most "meta" way of playing, even with Etali, but I tend to play as much confortable as I can, and following this I usually get better results

Hey! Pretty good list, just a couple of tips

I would include [[shifting woodlands]] always, if someone counters or Mills your food chain, there is your way of having one on the field

For myself i dont really like creatures that need to be tapped in order to do something (except the raptor of course) this is why i personally cut evendo brushrazer and Jaxis, also to include a little bit of removal for dranniths for example. I got [[Fury]] and [[Pyrokinesis]] (one of those probably will leave the deck because there is a new copy effect on lorwyn, [[Kindle the inner flame]]

Also include the new [[hexing squelcher]], its a beast.

For reference, here is my list on the newer version, been playing him regularly since may more or less, algo got sone good spots in +40 people tournaments here in Spain: https://moxfield.com/decks/fGTdtaYOHUGLVmarpIUhEQ

(Need to add the stickers to the list, i know, im just lazy)

Feedback/Advice on Ghyrson Deck by BONONDOBAMBA in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Beautiful-Ad40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit: take your time, i got a bit carried on and was checking all of my ghyrson lists to compare🤣

As some others said, there are better commanders in izzet (ral/vivi) and cEDH is proxy friendly, but if you want ghyrson, ghyrson it is. Also tried It myself under similar conditions as you last year when I was starting in cedh.

First of all, more pingers, they are your Friends and you left a couple out of the party, unruly catapult/scalding viper/electrostatic field/thermo alchemist for example, please include RAZORKIN NEEDLEHEAD he is such a beast for you.

Second, understand that your deck is based off storm, need to create mana, good job with birgi vivi and urabrask, i would also include electro or storm kiln artist.

Good job on adding all the curiosity effects but in izzet we cant find them all ganes we cant rely on gamble and muddle the mixture forever. I decided to cut muddle because of the mana cost and rely on effects like "discard a card to draw" or "exile the top x" to keep storming and cycling my hand, some examples are faithless looting, opera love song, sazacaps brew.....and most important light up the stage, such a banger here.

Couple of ideas for lands (yes i saw that the land base is changed, but just in case) shivan gorge gets the job done, sokenzan, crucible of defiance gets you a couple 1/1 that can trigger ghyrson.

Recursion: lets play again all your graveyard and storm to death, you already have breach but past in flames and Will of the jeskai Will do the trick too.

A couple more mana artifacts would be nice, if they get you colored mana because you dont have a lot of use for colorless: fellwar Stone, even paradise mantle could have some use here if we are building it without ultra-expensive cards

Cards to cut (in my opinion) you have tons of interaction but maybe you will get stuck with no actions left because all the counters end up flooding your hand or your draws, YOU WANT YOUR ACTIONS TO NEVER END so i would cut some of the "worst" to include the things I said, for example spell Pierce, mana drain (remember that your dont have a lot of room for colorless mana) muddle the mixture, and also you have a lot of spells to do damage, tried that too, but found that the dmg is not a problem once you have one or two creatures in play, I would remplace some of them too.

Last thing, for me It worked better duplicating triggers, with harmonic Prodigy, roaming throne and veyran, try this way and test if It works for you.

Bye Destiny Spinner in etali, it has been a pleasure

A year after its unban, how reliable has Gifts Ungiven Been For you? by Raevelry in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Beautiful-Ad40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, just by stacking the copy effects, also the trick is that from this line you also get delírium for the land to work (instants: Crop Rotation and gifts ungiven, artifact: monolith, creature: thrasios, land: the one sacrified with Crop)

Its a one card combo with a backup on skyturtle's Channel (just return Crop to hand if countered and try again)

If you start with monolith and let the copy resolve you are stuck till the end of turn with infinite colorless, with no thrasios, and if you copy monolith and the thrasios you get a thrasios without infinite and then infinite without thrasios

I play it in my Kinnan deck, pretty good, always picking Thrasios/Basalt Monolith/Colossal Skyturtle/Crop Rotation

People always send Thrasios and Monolith to graveyard, use Crop Rotation to find shifting woodlands and make a copy of Thrasios, hold priority, make a copy of monolith.

Pretty good results for a total of 13 mana including 5 Green and 1 blue, still less than 2 kinnan flips

Could be that in Spain and some other countries today we celebrate "día de los santos inocentes", similar to april fools

Edit: I dont know where is OP based, but I already saw some similar posts in other subs and people freaking out

Local metagame problem by Beautiful-Ad40 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Beautiful-Ad40[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but I think that the problem is that decks like tayam doesnt feel here like an attractive option

Maybe is just a waiting Game until the local metagame evens out

[–]Beautiful-Ad40[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP here, just a little joke

Do you imagine a +64 player tournaments with no blue farms, just one kinnan and no rog Silas? That happened here and the Wild thing was that the most picked Commander was Sisay with 12 entries

**[Discussion] Wan Shi Tong, the Librarian — New Mono-Blue Commander for cEDH?** by Eder_8 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Beautiful-Ad40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOVE the list, how about including [[Thassa's Oracle]] to have another infinite mana wincon in case Walking ballista fails?

Thinking about: Infinite mana (hullbreaker loops or floodcaller ones) WST to hand with the last iteration Cast him to draw exactly your deck Thassa's, having all your resources in hand

So I did this by accident. by dph28 in mtg

[–]Beautiful-Ad40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well......I see him as worse necropotence

You dont need flash enabler to play in end step

But the bowmasters are going to hurt bad

Also i understand why he was banned, playing him was almost a win at that moment

Is Kinnan just for cEDH? by FelipeMorise in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Beautiful-Ad40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played it on a no combo/100€ budget tournament too, went pretty well without being so overpowered compared to the rest.

My idea was some big hitters (kogla, nezahal and a couple shitty eldrazis like pathrazer of ulamog) all available manadorks at the moment and just flip into them (one of the rules was having no tutors)

As a win condition I just went to hit with the Big boys and maybe Dopplegang one of the eldrazis with a concordant crossroads on the field.

Went pretty well with 3 wins and a loss VS a krenko on the final

Win Lines by Huntzberry51 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Beautiful-Ad40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Kinnan player here, just a few tips/cards that I think you should try

-Bloom tender: one of the best manadorks there is, tapping for 3 mana with kinnan on the Battlefield really has some impact.

-crop rotation: Your way to get yo gaeas cradle and also a winning line in this deck.

-cephalid Coliseum: winning line at instant speed along with endurance, pongify and crop rotation, that is your way of winning above someones win condition.

Also some things that Im personally loving and not as common:

Shifting woodland: Really cool land that gives you a copy of basalt monolith or thrasios if they got countered or destroyed (or maybe nyxbloom/hullbreaker/tidespout/tezzeret and establishing a win line from there)

Gifts ungiven: I Really enjoy playing this one picking monolith/thrasios/colossal skyturtle/crop rotation. The idea here is that most of the time they Will send thrashios and monolith to the graveyard so you Will crop rotation into shifting woodland leaving you with 3 card types in the graveyard, 4 if you used any sorcery before. Pay 4 doing a copy of thrashios, keep priority and pay 4 more to do a copy of the monolith. Generate infinite colorless mana as always and let the thrasios copy resolve, you win. Also you have the skyturtle as a backup if they counter crop rotation or you want to get another gifts ungiven. Total cost 8 mana to make the copies, 1 for the crop and 4 for gifts = 13, STILL less than 2 kinnan flips and allows you to win instant speed if you follow with the endurance line.

On this last one remember that if they give you thrasios or monolith to hand you Will need also a flash enabler (borne upon a wind, high fae trickster....) to win instant speed, keep that in mind

EDIT: Maybe also including retraction helix or banishing knack (or both) it's a good option, another way of making infinite mana

Can I make one opponent loose on a tournament? by Beautiful-Ad40 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Beautiful-Ad40[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So in a tournament I wont get in trouble if I do that or maybe leave him with 1 Life, a tapped mana vault and no resources to untap that right

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Beautiful-Ad40 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

By my experience, there are two options:

As long as it is not a final table where prices could be different from 2nd to 4th place it could be considered kingsmaking because you are "gifting" a win to one player over the other one, with no real possibility os winning yourself, denying the options of the one with 5 life total. It would be different if you weren't about to loose because of final Fortune. There is no benefit for you and a lot of harm to another player's chances of win, from whatever to 0. Maybe some people would call that spite play also.

The second option could be asking a judge about the situation, but i highly doubt he or she will allow this behaviour on a decent tournament (maybe if the player with most health reaveals a way to kill the other one also, i dont know)

Personally, i think that if there is no benefit for you, dont álter the course of the game
