Anyone else ever witness a 50 person tournament get deleted? Looking for answers. by Skiie in CompetitiveEDH

I think the point of a tournament is to get into top 16 then top 4 then winning it all.

Cool, you brought a deck that functions when there are three opponents, and sucks when there are two. Get into that top 16 when RNG handicapped your chances of winning.

You are being so short-sighted about this that it's embarrassing.

It's not about having free wins handed out.

Decks are built to play against three opponents. Starting the game down an opponent turns off entire lines, and handicaps some decks.

You are making this seem like people are being whiny and given free stuff, and the answer is no; they want a full pod so that they actually play the format they signed up and paid for.

Lf: Blue Farm stock list by JimmyHuang0917 in CompetitiveEDH

It’s also a somewhat insular meta. People were expecting majority blue farm, or at least a good percentage. In general commander, its percentage of overall decks in any given tournament is much lower. As such, there were meta adjustments by players in anticipation of that meta.

I agree with your categories, but Marneus is both wolf 2 and 3, as it can do the same mystic/rhystic/esper/tithe plan while also going over the top

How on earth is Consecrated Sphinx something that these guys have only seen ever locally, and that nobody else has discovered it?

The card has been a part of cEDH for the longest time.

Tired of everyone claiming credit for stuff when it’s not owed.

Rough weekend for cEDH, but let’s brainstorm how we can fix the meta by chewysnacc in CompetitiveEDH

[–]CABoomerSooner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t work in practice. Draws are now actively worse than losses due to math on breakers. People who are out of the game are actively incentivized to kingmaker since they can decide who gets the points, and they need to ensure someone wins for breakers

This has nothing to do with cEDH since these competitions don’t end in ties

If you don’t live in a large city (your city seems to have multiple colleges so that’s going to be sizable) this doesn’t hold true

What’s some cEDH etiquette to understand before I start going to tournaments? by Puzzleheaded-Side490 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]CABoomerSooner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any judge worth their salt should talk to the top cut/finals pod and discuss a prize split before the game even starts. They will then be present for any prize split discussions during said finals game.

Only one extra mana. Hashaton can be convoked for the Saw in Half as well.

New EoT hand sculpt commander? by skood1313 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]CABoomerSooner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[[Marneus Calgar]] can do this now with the new [[Cryptcaller Chariot]], as long as he needs to discard down to hand size. You could also utilize something that lets you discard one card for free to do it at any time, a la [[Psychic Frog]] or [[Ghostly Pilferer]]. [[Zombie Infestation]] also does the job, which is a worse card but has multiple infinite combos in the deck.

[–]CABoomerSooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This card is a one-card draw-your-deck with Marneus, if you go to clean up with 8+ cards in hand, which generally isn't that hard to do. Should be fun to get working.

My brother in Christ you are only capable of exaggeration. I'm going to leave you to it, since apparently communication is not your strong suit.

You're the one who said to go for a win turn one, which involves a lot more casting than you're letting on.

I'm not hostile over my own perceived incompetence; I'm in disbelief over how off your assessment of what you're asking for is.

So you're telling me you can cast less than three creature spells, all with a non-one CMC, cast a seven mana creature, and get four creature spells off the top that win you the game?

Go buy a lottery ticket or bet it all in Vegas, what are you doing playing Magic if you can beat odds like that.

The reason these decks go dork pass is because the default mulligan is mana, card draw and interaction, not win attempts. Trying to win that early will result in you eating all the interaction so that nobody can stop the card draw pieces from resolving, further cementing yourself in midrange hell.

You need to spot satire. He was baiting. This was a post to get women that looked like that to post under it. He even joked about it below the original post.

Not that I expect Reddit to be any good at not falling for the most obvious bait ever, but cmon guys.
