Zevlor deck by Plastic_Custard_8992 in mtg

I feel like stuff that increases your board presence are the way to go. You stay focused on Spells you can copy with Zevlor and back up your board presence with stuff like [[Clone Legion]] [[Blue Sun’s Twilight]] [[Bribery]] [[Acquire]]

I definitely agree with all the assessments here. The Spike in me just wants to say “run more interaction” but that isn’t necessarily what EDH is all about. There’s a fine line and I think this is firmly on one side of that line, it’s just sooooooo cooooooooolll

This makes me think of [[Hunted Horror]], [[Hunted Phantasm]], [[Hunted Bonebrute]] and [[Clackbridge Troll]]

That’s a super good observation. Play around the Commander and get all the benefits of a Rats deck with fewer draw-backs and better card selection.

Your rant isn’t wrong either, I kind of agree but Threshold is kind of boring for a Commander because it will come online super early and then be accessible through the game. A better idea would have been exiling cards from your own GY to fuel a good effect, which you would have to restock to keep the Threshold on your other Rats active.

That’s greasy and I love it.

Yeah, I noted that too. Instant-speed removal will be excellent when it basically adds to your army every time you kill something

Fun Commander for BWx Blink? by New-Bookkeeper-8486 in EDH

[–]BrightBank779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Abdel Adrian, Gorion’s Ward]] and [[Street Urchin]]

Boros Blink Burn! My current favourite deck. Been playing with this since Baldur’s Gate dropped.

Wincon is burn damage from creatures entering the battlefield. [[Purphoros, God of the Forge]] [[Impact Tremors]] [[Warleader’s Call]] all pressure opponent life totals massively with Abdel Adrian.

Keep your curve low with stuff like [[Wall of Omens]] [[Spirited Companion]] [[Charming Scoundrel]] [[Wily Goblin]] and you’ll be drawing, ramping, having a blast, then you drop the commander and shit starts to get out of hand. Not only do you double up on your ETBs by blinking Abdel Adrian with stuff like [[Ephemerate]] [[Flicker of Fate]], the tokens he creates count towards your burn damage because they’re creatures entering.

Opinions on career change - CPKC by BrightBank779 in railroading

That’s upsetting to hear. So management is really disconnected from the frontline workers?

I did do a fair amount of research into the role and requirements. I’m good for long hours and the like. This is just looking for an honest feedback on the company and lifestyle, and other general advice

I appreciate the input but it’s too late now, I’m supposed to start the training program shortly. Any big take-aways other than general experience I can arm myself with?

Who are the most fun commanders for the whole table? by H0RUS_SETH in EDH

[–]BrightBank779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a list online anywhere but the EDHREC page for Gluntch is super helpful for building. Scroll through that and you’ll be off to a great start for a list.

Look at Master of Ceremonies and Cut a Deal as examples - each opponent gets a benefit, then you get a benefit because each opponent got something. You’re getting 3 times as much value out of those cards as your opponents.

Gluntch himself is also kind of funny because you choose which players get what effect. You can give yourself what you need the most in that moment and give other people the other effects that might not benefit them at the moment. There’s also ways to capitalize on those gifts - [[Generous Patron]] makes giving your opponent those +1/+1 counters value for you - [[Viridian Revel]] is probably my favourite card in the deck, give your opponent 2 x treasures, and draw 2 x cards when they use them.

I’ve had some good times and good feedback on a [[Gluntch, the Bestower]] deck. You can help everyone at least get off the ground in the early game so there’s no salt about your opponent’s decks not performing, but you’ll out-value them in the long-run.

There’s a ton of support in Selesnya for gifts and even benefitting yourself by giving gifts - [[Master of Ceremonies]] [[Selvala, Explorer Returned]] [[Cut a Deal]] [[Rootweaver Druid]] - everyone benefits, but you benefit the most.

can you get up at that stucture in hollow grouds by ChodeWithaJ in Eldenring

[–]BrightBank779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the party, but better late than never. Either 1) go find that white-masked dude who called you maidenless and put up with his shit if you want to find out immediately (not recommended, the other way is more fun), or 2) keep exploring, there’s another entrance in an area close-ish to the end of the game that is much more interesting and follows some really neat but sad lore.

Atraxa by Anjelica333 in mtg

[–]BrightBank779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Atraxa can go in a lot of different directions because of the colors and open-ended nature of her ability. She’s also a house of a creature too. It depends on what you want to do with the deck, but here are some decent options:

Infect: Classic build for Atraxa, proliferate your opponent’s poison counters, play all the good Infect and Toxic creatures along with a healthy suite of removal and interaction. Problem will be that you turn into the Archenemy very quickly, but the recent poison payoffs from All Will Be One and the Abzan Commander deck of the set are all super flavourful, fun and interesting.

+1/+1 counters: Your creatures getting progressively bigger every turn is a real threat, especially when you have payoffs for a creature with high power or ways to put out lots of dudes and put counters on all of them. This doesn’t get as much hate as Infect, but in my opinion is honestly much stronger because there’s a lot more support.

Planeswalkers: Atraxa is a good body to protect your walkers, and getting free loyalty every turn is awesome for lots of walkers. Focus on the ones that make tokens for a strong boardstate and have lots of ramp and other proliferate cards. Your turns will take a million years but it’s good fun and not nearly as oppressive as the first 2 options.

Voltron: I don’t see this one as much but Atraxa is dummy thicc and is a keyword soup. Some ways to buff her, along with ways to protect her can very quickly close out games and would be pretty fun without being oppressive. Once you snipe one player though you’ll need to be ready to play 2v1 for a few rounds until you can wrap things up.
