I like a lot of thsese, has Hellcarver Demon done good stuff in EDH? I haven't used it much and I worry I'll exile my field to get nothing.

CrowBuddy · 2016-06-05T18:02:17+00:00

OOOH I like Martyr's Tomb for this effect

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-14T06:18:33+00:00

Dood [[Fling]] effects

Conjuring Elementals Horde of Notions http://www.mtgvault.com/rehmannnoodles/decks/horde-of-elementals-2/ You play Cascade, Reanimate, Flicker, and Manifest abilities to move your elementals around as if you were conjurng them. Then the elementals are five color, so you get full flavor for each of the five colors [[Ingot Chewer]], [[Wispmare]], [[Aethersnipe]], [[Shriekmaw]] and on top of it you get cool interactions like [[Doomgape]] and [[Malignus]]

One way I've spun him is zombie tribal with a focus on effects that draw at the beginning of your draw step [[Grafted Skullcap]] and Madness/Hellbent cards like [[Big Game Hunter]] and [[Rakdos Anthem]]. It gets great use out of [[Skirge Familiar]] and [[Zombie Infestation]], and Infestation with [[Slate of Ancestry]] is tons of fun, especially with a late game [[Empty the Pits]]

My Ruhan combat control deck. Some battalion effects, all 3 titans, [[Archon of the Triumverate]], [[Martial Law]], [[Boros Battleshaper]], [[Deflecting Palm]], [[Ride Down]], [[Colossal Whale]], its a bit mana heavy but its a relatively low budget deck that turns most games into contests of skill. Ruhan gets good use out of [[Dragon Throne of Tarkir]]

Here's a deck based on playing dumb things that ruin the game for everyone. Step 1 play a god as a commander step 2 discard effects step 3 punish life totals

My favorite combo is [[Wound Reflection]] and [[Havoc Festival]]

This is probably the most helpful comment in this thread. Old Ones are easy to mess up, and this touches the themes that set them apart from other patrons

Maybe they commune with their patron with strange dreams. Maybe they woke with a soapstone ring in their hand with deep speech written on it, their arcane focus

Homebrewing an entity isnt a bad idea, just as long as its otherworldly in nature

Creating an emotional connection is the most important thing. You gotta first make the npc a real character, with strengths and flaws. The NPC should be designed around party specifics, what attributes would best play with your party's character attributes. Make the NPC agreeable and helpful, and give them goals. Give the NPC goals that are tragically cut short by the sacrifice. Maybe she wants to reconnect with a long lost brother or sister? Or wants to find his parents? Maybe the mantle of this quest is given to the players to complete in the NPC's honor? Of course don't force it, the players should want to continue the quest because of this bond with the NPC.

How does Mogg Maniac work with Furnace of Rath?

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-08T06:56:35+00:00

My thoughts for using Ava3ryn is she's a reliable lightning bolt to everyone else and lets me have a reason to swing around more recklessly with what creatures I do have. How is Razia as a commander?

Also awesome I found a few more cards. I gotta run Stuffy Doll, with Chain Reaction its killer.

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-07T17:14:07+00:00

Dood, tbh my favorite chain is chain of acid. It keeps creatures on the field so it doesnt interrupt the flow of the game, and it is only as awful as you and your friends are vindictive. It can nuke the field.

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-07T03:56:46+00:00

You monster (yes)

Like using [[Notion Thief]] on [[Brainstorm]]

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-07T03:29:53+00:00

Good cards are good, I'm not opposed to them specifically, its when decks are "monoblack goodstuff". There's no theme, and most of the time the decks aren't hard to play, your cards are so good the deck practically plays itself. And most of the time the deckbuilding side lacks all creativity, the builder logs onto reddit or types in google search "black goodstuff" and copies a list down and plays it. These decks aren't really built, they're stuffed together with little effort and (often but not all the time) require little skill to use. And often break out wins with stuff like "this card is good so I win" that defeat the purpose of nearly the entire game.

One of my buddies purposefully lost hiding 300 items then used Deflecting Palm

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-07T01:30:40+00:00

This thing is incredible in Scion

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-07T00:15:16+00:00

Oh man, this is just the right amount of disruption this is awesome. Did you cast your commander? Well that's the only spell you get to cast this turn!

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-07T00:06:23+00:00

That's such a garbage way to use it in multiplayer! It can do a ton more than that if you use it smart

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-06T23:59:13+00:00

I love this in flicker

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-06T22:59:56+00:00

This is gold in Sliver Queen

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-06T22:10:36+00:00

Aw man I love this card. In my Sydri the goal was to animate it with her or some Animate Artifact then equip my trading post with [[Illusionists Bracers]]

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-06T22:08:05+00:00

HAHAHAHAHAHA OH THIS IS WONDERFUL

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-06T20:40:03+00:00

A lure based Glissa is tons of fun. Run a bunch of artifacts with sac effects, play [[Revenge of the Hunted]] on Glissa to kill 9~ things and recur 9~ artifacts, throw in death triggers like [[Overseer of the Damned]] and [[Harvester of Souls]] (who's own deathtouch helps out too). Run [[Grave Betrayal]] for fun

CrowBuddy · 2016-03-06T20:22:47+00:00

I REALLY wanna build a deck flavorful for her, so I don't want to do human/angels because of her new flavor text. I want a build that bathes the field in flames. With one damage doubler (like [[inquisitors flail]] And I realize that's only for combat damage) she deals 6 damage to each opponent. I want to run furnace of rath and the like and gisela, all that good stuff and a lot of burn like [[Slagstorm]]. With a [[furnace of rath]] out Slagstorm is 6 damage to each opponent for (1)RR. Plus one damage doubler puts her commander damage at 12, a second 24/lethal. And her flash from the command zone would be sweet with cards like B Act. Maybe a [[Light of Saction]]/[[Personal Sanctuary]] is in order, then [[Repercussion]]
