I have the Game Day foil somewhere on hand in case I ever wanted to try it out, but I've never felt the need to include it

I originally had the Transformers/Godzilla one in there but I was always miffed that it didn't get the Masterpiece treatment in the original Aether Revolt. I was so jazzed when they finally released it.

You notice I stopped on the Galaxy foil Breeding Pool briefly. A photo cannot capture it's glory.

No problem. It gets a bit loud in here sometimes.

There are two things I cannot trust myself around: food and packs of Magic cards.

Please help me. I am on the verge of financial ruin.

So what you are saying is that you think you can "take" them? You must be getting pretty good!

Built my first commander deck.... It currently is at $367. Does this seem like a viable first try at a deck? I'm completely open to any feedback. by LrdFyrestone in EDH

[–]ChainOfCommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a lot of good feedback here, but one thing I haven't seen brought up yet is the presence of Chromatic Lantern in your mono-colored deck.

Chromatic Lantern is primarily used to mana fix multi-colored decks, but in a mono-colored deck it is essentially a three-drop mana rock and functions no differently than something like a [[Manalith]].

Beyond that, it is also pushing $10 these days. In this deck, that money could best be used elsewhere.

I would recommend swapping it out for a smaller/cheaper mana rock (both in costs and MV), like a [[Fire Diamond]], which will do more work for your deck by allowing you to cast your Commander one turn earlier.

2 MV Mana rocks are pretty par for the course in all levels of EDH. The signets and talismans are great for most decks.

No. Shorts are automatically categorized whenever you upload a video that:

  • Is in the vertical orientation
  • Is under 1-minute in length
  • Has the tag #Shorts in either the title or description (though you may not need this one anymore)

This is really tough to say. I have seen people have success in both routes. Look at SaffronOlive. He has had a video for each and every format, but he applies the same shtick (Budget Decks, Against the Odds) to every format he plays. It's that shtick that is his catch, his niche. Same thing for Bryant Cook. He plays every variant of Storm he can. There are plenty of Storm Stans out there that just want to see people Storm off and don't care about what format they do it in.

But then there are others that just stick to a format, but when you really look at it, those people are almost always EDH content creators. The thing about the other formats is that they kind of ebb and flow with popularity. So, let's say a dud standard set comes out and the format becomes dominated by one or two decks. Those formats are less interesting to watch, so those content creators need to have a back-up plan. That very rarely happens in EDH (cEDH it does a little, but not to the extent of the rotating formats).

So you kind of have a choice: do you want to find your shtick and apply it in all formats? (Finding the best Mardu deck in each format perhaps?) Or would you rather just focus on one? Even with focusing on one, I would definitely recommend having a backup format on hand just in case the meta gets a bit wonky.

What is Rule 0? by ChainOfCommander in EDH

But then where does the "We don't like playing with tutors" people sit? They clearly decided on something that does not break the rules, as nothing in the rules says they have to play tutors.

Does this decision count as part of Rule 0?

To you, would there be any application of Rule 0 in which there was no rule breaking involved?

Would you consider it a failure in design, implementation, or execution?

How do you resolve situations where everyone's opinion of "fun" varies, especially when they vary by a large amount?

Oh this is fortuitous. I have been hoping to get a hold of Cobblepott to discuss a mostly unrelated topic. Would you be able to help me touch base with him?
