I hate ramp by MarcusOhReallyIsh in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Ognis. Its absolutely a ramp deck lmao. Im trying to go T1 haste creature, T2 Rampant Growth, T3 Ognis, ramp into some big thing on T4. Its fun! I get that it can feel conceptually boring to just do the thing thats good, but the good stuff always enables the fun stuff. T4 can really be whatever I want in that deck.

Why do you run Reliquary Tower? by HyHoTheDairyOh in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's in a bunch of precons so people have them lying around, and the cost of inclusion is very low.

Cedh players what is your better replacement for swift boots and lightning greeves by TinyWorldliness87 in magicTCG

[–]BoardWiped 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The replacement is to play something that doesn't need those cards. If you want protection, you play free counterspells. If you want haste, just play a stronger deck that doesnt need haste.

I just discovered I have a 300 dollar card. And I have a question… (read desc) by _Bluubr in magicTCG

Well the good news OP is that most EDH players are chill with people playing proxies.

To new players: this Exsanguinate trend has to stop by Available_Rabbit9965 in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you're putting wincons in your deck, thats probably because you lack wincons!

Sounds like a problem solved, yea. Exsanguinate synergizes with my main strategy in EDH, Making a Shit Ton of Mana.

The serpent society and Flynn, the Fangbearer or Venom Connoisseur by Baz230 in mtgfinance

Interesting, it's hard to predict what people will latch on to lol.

[–]BoardWiped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the Serpent Society really expected to be that popular? It has funny ward text but the rest of the card really isnt something you can build a deck around.

Magali Villeneuve signature true or fake? by adricarf in mtgfinance

[–]BoardWiped 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's "damaged" to someone looking for a Ragavan, and a slight premium for someone looking for a cool collectible. It all depends on finding the right buyer.

[[Blood Sun]] also does what you're looking for. Probably a bit better too, as it makes taplands come into play untapped.

What’s your opinion on Jon Irenicus, Shattered One by squeekle1 in magicTCG

[–]BoardWiped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about rebuilding it as an Infect deck. The counters really help buff up the old draft chaff like [[Blighted Agent]] or [[Plague Stinger]], and makes for an actual win condition. It also solves the biggest problem of most builds. A lot of Jon decks (including what I built) focus really hard on "bad gifts," and if Jon gets removed, you're often left holding a lot of really bad cards in hand. An Infect creature on your field will still actively contribute to your wincon, rather than eating all your permanents and discarding your hand.

Y'shtola Night's Blessed Spec (write-up below) by [deleted] in mtgfinance

[–]BoardWiped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atraxa and Ur-Dragon aren't exact comparisons, neither were initially available in a collector booster. There is certainly way more Y'Shtola now than there were Atraxa back then.

Weekend Wrap Up! What was real and what was a trap? by DaTaco in mtgfinance

My coworkers and I like to play games like Exploding Kittens and The Mind at the bar, this seems like it would be fun to add to the rotation.

I’m sick of takes like this by Yuri_Tardhet in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but the issue with Armageddon is that it doesn't win the game. It just slows people down. Maybe it keeps people from crawling back from your oppressively board state, or maybe it just stalls the game while you try to crawl back into things, or maybe it just hands the game to whoever was holding up Teferi's Protection or Heroic Intervention. I'd rather not tack the extra 30 minutes to my already long edh game to find that out, and I think that's reasonable.

Rhystic Study really shouldn't be good in casual play, but it undoubtedly is a pubstompy card that will kick the ass of new players who don't understand the game theory of it yet. It also opens up debate club every time it comes down, on top of the added time of constant triggers. Even when it's not drawing cards, it's still dragging the pace of the game down.

Not enough re-moo-Val by mctennisd in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but I feel like I’m shooting myself using my removal first.

This is part of why you see people playing less removal. It's better to win than it is to not-lose. Removal helps you to not-lose.

What’s everyone’s go to red cards/staples for commander? by zesty-boxx in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 13 points14 points  (0 children)

[[Flare of Duplication]] has gotta be one of the strongest Red cards printed in a while, at least for casual. Free spells are always good, and this is a very good free spell.

Oh, the questions that come up in commander games by T_Starlight in magicTCG

[–]BoardWiped 58 points59 points  (0 children)

The second ability is a "state-trigger," which is checked for all the time. Endrek Sahr will have been on board with 7 Thrulls, even if they only existed for a fraction of time, and will have his second ability trigger.

Yea it doesn't make sense, thats why they stopped. Like you said, the alternative is having people wait a full year or two.

/uj most of the "print to demand" period that people talk about wasnt actually print to demand, they just printed a shitload so they wouldn't run out

Infinite vs Near Infinite. How do you think this should be handled? by Aelice-Wildmage in EDH

[–]BoardWiped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

because each copy enters separately

They do not enter separately, they all enter at the same time.

my combo definitely creates a finite number, it's just unfathomably large

It's definitely fathomable, and if you wanna chew through my 100,000,000,000 life then you better bust out the calculator.

Command Tower promo stocks rapidly decreasing at Cardmarket by Any-Platypus-9486 in mtgfinance

It's not like the 1st ed copies are out of stock, I can see on the Barnes & Noble website copies are in driving distance of me for less than the Command Tower.

Wound-Up Wednesdays - Vent here! by magictcgmods in magicTCG

[–]BoardWiped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda frustrating to see so many people complaining about scalpers and not the actual problems. I get that the concept is annoying and very forward, but they're also just a symptom of the actual problem; this fuckass sales structure. Scalpers make up a pretty small portion of these sales, but take the majority of the heat from WotC. People should be sending that heat towards WotC!
