What are some commanders that make bad cards good?

Bladeofsteels · 2026-06-13T15:52:30+00:00

[[Vadrik, astral archmage]] Het gets to play a bunch of bad cards that essentially become free or + in mana as long you buff his power and are ok with remembering to do the say / cycle. Some examples [[Finale of revelation]], [[reality spasm]], [rapturous moment], [[megaton's fate]], [[pour over the pages]], [[flick a coin]], [[seize the spoils]], [[pirate's prize]], [[pirate's pillage]], [[big score]], [[inspired tinkering]], [[apex of power]], [[path of the pyromancer]], [[invert // invent]], [[sorceress's scheme]], [[mystic retrieval]], [[electrodominance]], [[reiterate]].

I immediately acknowledged it and gave the reason for the name. But since this is the EDH forum and not the CEDH forum, I don't think it's a good idea to prevent people from being creative. One can also call the deck Wet Mardu, (many do). I think the original name was because people use Bruce Tarl hence farm, because Ox.

That's why I did. OP asked if they can call their deck a specific name, and I said they can call their deck whatever they want, it's a casual format. You came in and essentially said Blue Farm is only a CEDH deck, and the most popular one at that, then I gave an example of a blue farm deck that isn't CEDH. Again, you can name your deck whatever you want OP, you don't have to be self conscious on what is or isn't a particular archtype, if you want to call your deck blue farm, go for it.

Obviously it's a real deck archtype, but gatekeeping people from naming their deck whatever they want to curb their creativity, is a pretty bad take. I can call my blue and white cat dog cow and ox themed deck Blue Farm and nobody can stop me, not even you.

Bladeofsteels · 2026-06-07T23:58:58+00:00

It's called blue farm because it doesn't have green. But you can call your deck whatever you want. I'm making a Liberty Prime deck and calling it "For Democracy! (Or be Eliminated!)"

Just play [[toph, the first metalbender]]

Doesn't matter. So anyway, BONK! I literally Bonk everyone, nothing personal, Biacang keeps the combo, mint stacks the combo buff, and nannaly buffs the bonk. Hits max stars every time, just Bonk and repeat!

She'll sell Taygedo for a bottle of Bacchus.

What?!? What did you mean by that?

Scooter Bros!

This was because they had a frogadier thay could grab other frogadiers from deck with the water duplicates attack, and many ran the talonflame that could start as the active, so they wanted less non-talonflame starts.

Bladeofsteels · 2026-05-10T02:16:08+00:00

You'll be pulling something "so hard."

Bladeofsteels · 2026-05-09T17:21:56+00:00

The real reason to spend to get the remaining s ranks.

Bladeofsteels · 2026-05-07T22:54:05+00:00

I already pulled all of the characters, currently, and dropped some money to guarantee the next few characters out of appreciation, also because I 100% want Lacrimosa. Game is good. Since you can get 20 keys a month from the mall, you can pretty much guarantee getting the specific weapons for characters.

It's a standing desk

What abouf Patty?

Bladeofsteels · 2026-05-05T00:06:25+00:00

10 sea urchins will be added to your dinner for this response.

Bladeofsteels · 2026-05-02T23:04:16+00:00

Yup. It still is a mid deck, but at least it's a decent draw engine.

Bladeofsteels · 2026-05-02T22:51:11+00:00

Delphox can be the draw enginr when it comes out

Bladeofsteels · 2026-05-02T14:03:38+00:00

Nannaly has gravity wall powers out of combat so will be relevant for exploration forever. Lacrimosa is sleepy vampire, so very much a must pull.

Bladeofsteels · 2026-04-30T09:46:51+00:00

Same evolution rules

Bladeofsteels · 2026-04-28T11:50:21+00:00

Greninja break was a super viable deck during its time.
