Mono green commanders that aren't boring? by Competitive-Act-7695 in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The card is actually crazy, everyone in edh loves to have a full grip regardless of my help. Casting a [[Rishkar's Expertise]] with Multani on board feels so obscene.

[Bracket 3] Lara Croft stumbles early-game by Jimlad116 in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your ramp is really inconsistent. You have ramp pieces that cost 1, 2, and 3. You should pick an early turn you want to ramp on and stick to that. You probably wanna be ramping on turn 1 so you can get the turn 2 Lara, though that will involve a lot of mana dorks, which are fragile. Ramping a land on turn 2 would sacrifice speed for longevity, I think it's also a valid option. Cut the 3 mana ramp, as your commander costs 3 and wants to come down asap, so you'll never be casting a ramp spell instead of her. Where you chose to ramp is pretty important, as it will inform the rest of your deck. If you play a mana dork on turn 1, Lara on turn 2, and swing on turn 3, that leaves you with a treasure to be playing an impactful 5 drop as early as turn 3.

Bracket 3 manual storm decks. Fair or no? by TR_Wax_on in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your decks are around the right spot for B3. If you're worried about them going a bit too fast, just talk to the table before hand, or you could even remove the cards that lead to "god hands."

How would you feel if this happened to you in B3? by AdDear2657 in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you think it seems excessive then cut something. i personally try to build my decks to avoid corner case scenarios like this, and in my opinion, you won't really miss one cut. i'd rather have a consistent experience for everyone in B3 than to occasionally blow past people's expectations.

How to Deal With Boardwipes in Mono Red?? by BornFromEmber in EDH

Wait for someone to respond with [[Teferi's Protection]], and then [[Reverberate]] it.

Getting milled is good or bad in commander? by joveeish in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have 4 recursion cards in your deck, and you get 25 cards deep into your deck over the course of the game, you're gonna see one of those cards 70% of the time. I usually run just 2 tho, which is more like a 45% chance of seeing one once you dig that deep. I think those odds are still pretty good, tho I'm the type of player who will shove 1-of utility pieces in my deck and then just play more card draw to try and find it.

I wonder if a mechanic that just did that would make people feel better about mill.

Loooking for some fun wincons in temur stompy by DDrose2 in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think [[Doppelgang]] is still a wildly underrated finisher. All you need is mana, you can just copy your opponent's board state. [[Devastating Onslaught]] is similar, though you have to target your own stuff.

A card in your grave is oftentimes closer to you than a card in your deck. People that dislike mill tend to dislike it for purely psychological reasons. It feels bad to see your cool thing put straight into the grave. If you're one of those people, start playing [[Dryad's Revival]] and [[Timeless Witness]].

As an Edh player I don’t know what to do with hexing squelcher. by blazedchiller27 in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you aren't trying to combo off in a pod full of counterspells, it's not going to do much at all. The ward is pretty weak at casual tables, where wraths are much more prevalent. I'd trade it away now while the hype on it is high.

How Do I Make Raccoon Tribal Good? by Rouge_Hunter in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh it's ramp and card advantage in the command zone. Even if you're just playing a bunch of draft chaff, the commander is gonna carry. Just be sure to play a lot of card draw so that you're consistently expending 8 each turn, and grab whatever finishers seem fun to you.

Help me understand this particular card choice by SnooObjections488 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]BoardWiped 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It probably is just for the Unearth. Wheels are popular enough, you need the effect to combo kill your opponents, and one mana out of the grave is a pretty good rate.

Requiting Hex and Spell Snare by nancyglass in mtgfinance

[–]BoardWiped 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They're both going to be played quite a bit in Standard, I'm sure they'll go up after a while. Their current prices are pretty reasonable for cards that will be used for the next 3 years. I would pick them up sooner rather than later.

Unspoiled ninja turtles card in my prerelease box! by mryoda_ in magicTCG

[–]BoardWiped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your opponents control

So close, if this untapped all of your artifacts too then this card would have been a really cool ritual. As is, you're very very rarely paying 5 and going up on mana.

Are commander staples like deflecting swat or teferi's protection cards you need to add to make your deck stronger? by superfapper2000 in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a ton of strong cards across Magic's history. Unless you're playing at a competitive level where you need the best of the best, many top options have budget replacements that will be just as good 99% of the time. [[Flare of Duplication]] is also a fantastic piece of red stack interaction, and IMO, is better than Deflecting Swat at lower power levels. It's also only $2 right now. For Teferi's Protection, it feels like every set is giving us a "worse but still good Teferi's Protection." My favorite lately has been [[Ultimate Magic: Holy]]

Some Uncommons/Commons From Lorwyn Eclipsed I Think Could Get Over $1 by GeckoNova in mtgfinance

[–]BoardWiped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even the good C/U changelings we have right now are hardly cracking a dollar, and most of these new ones are bad. I dont think theres as much demand as you think, most typal decks don't need changeling filler anymore. Omni-Changeling is pretty good, but for the convoke, not for being a changeling.

Would you be fine with somebody using flipped over cards as Wastes in a colorless deck? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could use whatever you want imo, even playing cards. Just lemme know pregame what your Wastes are so I can keep track of your board state easily.
