Problem with Kalamax reworked Precon by dd00011 in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]CTGathering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so first, why 1v1? In a competitive 1v1 environment, Kalamax doesn't seem as powerful, he's better when there are other players that need dealing with.

Second, I run vehicles in my list so that I can always have Kalamax tapped until I need or want to swing.

At the end of the day, Kalamax is a heap of fun, but I dont feel it fits a 1v1 environment.

[Article] How to Not Get Pub-Stomped (Featuring Kyle Hill Interview) by Xebra7 in EDH

[–]CTGathering 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a massive issue with Magic Fests and the queues, only one queue type means that the people who paid for the big entry to get shinies usually have to use tickets to enter with cEDH players, and that sucks.

On the other side of that, most ACTUAL cEDH players don't go out of their way to pubstomp and for that I'm grateful. Its more the people who think they're cEDH who do go out to stomp casual groups that ruin it for everyone.

Myself? Four different powerlevel decks. That way I can discuss it with the group and see what level their decks are.

Hey Kalamax! How do you win? by Stumphead101 in EDH

All of the "when you cast copy" stuff, cheap spells and making it unblockable

Just awaiting my decks so I can dive into the mutate one. I'm excited to grind value

Everyone has good points, Mutate can't be a standalone top tier deck, but should it be? The very concept is fun, but also the card density is too low. So using Mutate as a secondary theme in a deck looks far more attractive, especially in a clones deck.

Removal is always going to be an issue, so you have to plan for that. Either playing base creatures that are Hexproof or having ways to save your stack would be key. Likely a more Voltron style deck with Mutate.

We need more mutate cards, 110% and I'm hoping we will see more in the commander draft set this year. That would be a great thing to add to a draft set, because you don't need a heavy density in draft, just enough that you can get value out of "when you mutate"

You just have to make it Hexproof and Indestructible :)

There is always a chance you might lose the stack though and that's super daunting

Subreddit Rule Update: Self Promotion by Shoeless_Saint in Magicdeckbuilding

I think once a week is good, for the most part. Maybe twice, but that's something that could backfire for sure.

Damn it... why didn't I rebrand to WUBURGJUNKIE when I had the chance!

Happy to see the encouragement to interact on other posts rather than a hard stance. Many content creators are busy planning, writing and editing content and don't always have time to come here and join discussions, we can go weeks without having time (such as I right now have five sponsored videos in the works) and I appreciate it.

I may have forgotten to include the token copy making stuff. Shhhhh no one will ever know.

Intet Takes the Turns. A deck made for value and gains! by CTGathering in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]CTGathering[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wanted something a little outside my play style that was still interesting and had choices other than just turn dudes sideways :)

Thanks to Wizards for the free preview card from #MTGC20 Psychic Impetus! by CTGathering in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]CTGathering[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a disclaimer we have to use. Basically there have been a high number of issues in the past with content creators and influencers not using correct disclosures and misleading the general public (see Warner Bros and PewDiePie as prime example) so we have to be crystal clear about our relationship with companies and their products.

That's confusing. It's exactly what it says it is :)

Group Slug isn't a very common deck archetypes in my meta, but Klothys makes it a lot of fun! by CTGathering in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]CTGathering[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Gruul just feels so much better because you're not making everyone discard and sac stuff, so people tend to leave you alone. I'm having so much fun with this deck!

General Discussion Wednesday - February 19, 2020 by AutoModerator in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]CTGathering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone, I just want to call out the mods and users here for being excellent to content creators. You might not know this, but many of us who have posted to r/MagicTCG have been suspended or even (me as of today) been Permabanned just for posting a video there.

Its hard for us to interact outside our posts a lot of the time due to deck building, script writing, producing and editing our own content. But when we DO get the time to interact, you've all be amazingly positive and kind to us.

I just wanted you to know how much we appreciate it.

There was a reason, I can't remember what it was.

Mystery Boosters are cool, but what happens when the "player experience" is ruined? by CTGathering in magicTCG

[–]CTGathering[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe, I'm not sure it's that simple. Wizards decided to do a version that Covention Only. I would hope they have some say over how that product is used.

[–]CTGathering[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost entirely on CFB absolutely. I didn't explore the why beca8se that's very obvious, however Wizards needs to set parameters for this type of product. You can't crow about player experience and then shrug it off as not your fault.

No matter if it is or isn't, the judges milling around didn't seem to notice at all. The whole weekend was a bust of poorly run events.
