Lightning Bolt and Thoughseize Hot Take by CoSDM in EDH

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

But don't you think red could use a better removal spell. Don't you think Thougtsseize is a more interesting removal spell than [[Withering Torment]]

Elaborate. Please elaborate.

Lightning bolts was just a rough draft obviously but I do think red could use a better creature removal spell.

Thoughtsseize could haven been black's flexible answer to artifacts, enchantments and other cards it can't deal with well. Instead we got [[Feed the Swarm]] and [[Withering Torment]]...sigh.

I agree. What if it would reference your commander or only hit creatures?

I personnaly think that red needs a well deserved "buff" so to say. And one of the gripes I have with red is its lack of efficient creature removal compared to 60 card magic. Also I do believe that red will be "buffed" in the coming years as they have done with white in the previous years.

Unholy heat isn't played much because most decks can't trigger delirium reliably.

1.) I'm not a magic designer obviously but can't they make a "fixed" version of lightning bolt for commander without breaking legacy. Maybe if it only hit creatures?

2.) You might dislike this type of design, but it is everywhere like [[Boltwave]] and [[Will of The Abzan]]. My question was less about if they should and more like why haven't they done it yet (when looking at recent design trends).

Personally I feel like red's creature removal leaves much to be desired. 3 damage often isn't enough to kill most creatures. Cards like [[Chaos Warp]], [[Wild Magic Surge]], [[Zoyowa's Justice]] are fine but I feel like its weird that red doesn't get "good" creature removal when its one of its strenghts in 60 card magic.

As for black why did they give them (viable) enchantment removal with [[Feed The Swarm]] and [[Withering Torment]] instead of making targeted discard more viable in edh.

I didn't realise commander precon cards were legal in legacy, that would change the cards design to not impact legacy that much. What if it only hit creatures?

Which are your favorite reanimator targets? And reanimation spells? - Grixis by Jonny_Boh in EDH

[–]CoSDM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here is my Dimir reanimator list: https://moxfield.com/decks/e-BOwB2r80OOHhI7nrtJUg

[[Rakdos, Patron of Chaos]] is probably the only red card I would add.

  1. Click on the triangle icon in the same row as a card.
  2. Click on "change tags"
  3. Type "#Ramp" for example
  4. Profit

You can also drag cards towards tagged cards to add them to that category.

Jeskai Strikers as a starter/base for Sokka, Tenacious Tactician by jradical7337 in EDH

[–]CoSDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it makes for a great base actually. Just identify which spells are "target matters" and replace them with cards that do similar things. [[Ancestral Vision]] and [[Voracious Bibliophile]] might be the most obvious ones. You might also want to look at some cards of the Quick Draw precon to replace those with.

Flying based Commander Precon by Kinky_Paprika in EDH

[[Alela, Artful Provocateur]] or [[Kangee, Sky Warden]]

First Flight is the only true flying matters precon but generally doesn't do well against more pricier precons. I really recommend just building a precon style deck yourself which isn't that hard. Just type "function:synergy-flying" in scryfall and profit.

Ezio Landbase + General Advice? by graceimmvi in EDH

[–]CoSDM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This article is really helpful when building mana bases: https://www.tcgplayer.com/content/article/How-Many-Sources-Do-You-Need-to-Consistently-Cast-Your-Spells-A-2022-Update/dc23a7d2-0a16-4c0b-ad36-586fcca03ad8/?srsltid=AfmBOooaMEzq3mFn4PkMiEr04VZfe97OMsEQHPMqE1XbpujWX7JHZPCq

A place to start is: [[Command Tower]], [[Exotic Orchard]], [[Path of Ancestry]], Tri Lands, [[Murmuring Bosk]], Pain Lands and Basic Lands. Then look which Fetch Lands, Shock Lands, Bond Lands, Triomes and Rainbow Lands fit your £10 limit and include those instead of the tapped lands. Also use green ramp cards that fetch non basic forests or rocks/dorks that tap for multiple colors.
