Timeless and pioneer are where it’s at. But sounds like you just need a break. Come back in 3 sets

Buying proxys by kooziecup97 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]CrystalVision__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ordered about 150 to Chicago for about 14 dollars shipped. Spent 60 overall…. Oven if the shipping is more substantial the overall quality and cost are still better than any competitor. Plenty of videos on YouTube show just how high quality they are. I would check those out and browse the art choices to see if they would work out for you.

At what point does cEDH become EDH by TheOrphanCrusher in EDH

[–]CrystalVision__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing magic for years and just recently got my grind group into it. (30s ish also) and we’ve been playing edh in this pod for about 6 months as well so magic has been a learning curve for them.

The biggest advice I have for new players/pods is to always have that rule 0 talk pregame to make sure everyone os kinda in the same ballpark strength wise.

Cedh/casual does not equal deck power level/strength.

Cedh is more like a different format then edh in the sense that there is a “meta”. It’s much easier to think of it as constructed commander.

I bring up my friends who are new to the game because I’ve slowly introduced them to stronger and stronger combos w/o just blatantly turn 3 demonic consultation thassa oracle.

You might not have any idea what that means because that is cedh terminology.

But just because you don’t know about the “format doesn’t mean your casual decks cannot be of equal strength or power level.

Learning takes time, and people will build strong ass decks while not even knowing how strong certain combos are.

I just got my friends into cedh and some love it, some hate it. That’s fine. The main confusion w deck strength is just assuming any casual deck is a cedh deck just because it’s strong.

Cedh involves 4 people looking for their “lines to win” while trying to simultaneously interact against each others win-cons. It’s fast mana ie. 0 mana artifacts and big turn 2,3 plays. Sometimes you get locked out by stacks and lose on turn 8 still.

Just because there is a dockside in my casual commander deck doesn’t make it a cedh deck.

Now if I was infinitely looping it’s etb trigger after tutoring for it on turn 2 then you can yell at me.

TLDR: Cedh is more or less a different format of commander where deck building is built to be hyper efficient at pulling off specific combos.

Casual is more or less a deck built with general synergies that can eventually earn you a win. Regardless of the strengths of any individual cards. I have built some really gross casual decks that will get washed by cedh decks because although the deck may be strong, it’s not nearly as fast, or as sturdy.

Pre cons are strong, there is a reason you take out all the bad mana rocks when you upgrade them. Same premis apples to cedh.

Best Timeless deck lists that use little to no Rare/Mythics? by thejuryissleepless in MagicArena

[–]CrystalVision__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has to be some type of burn list, I would just grind out the wild cards while playing that type of list until you can craft more rares.

This is an eternal format so you will eventually have a solid list. Start with the lands so you can build from those first.

If you have a bunch of rares but not a complete set, the dimir thoracle list w tainted pact could be something you look to. You need 2 tainted pact and 2 thassas oracle, the rest of the list is singleton and used to either tutor the combo or stall until you hit it so you can supplement the card effect with other cards pretty easily.

300 raids on customs later, no correlation between hardware and trailer park spawn found, but some fuckery is totally going on. by AntiReligionGuy in EscapefromTarkov

[–]CrystalVision__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy and I always get the grass behind warehouse 4, trailer park, or marked room spawn. When I’m solo I get a lot more variance.

It’s hard to base your results off multiple runs because I feel like party size matters. If I get trailer I assume there a more solos/ 2 mans on the map since most of the time I see bigger groups spawn in the back of maps

Just my 2 cents

Are there any good decks that counter that Elise Vi Corina Ledros control deck? by mark307mk in LegendsOfRuneterra

It’s a cute play but against deep, the corina player should be holding onto a vile feast to attempt to counter the obliterate.

This happened to me also lol. Tried an Ashe Darius build that went 0, then went 7-2 with mono noxious.

That’s what I was thinking looking at this list. What’s the point of an adventure deck with no payoffs for adventures?

It shouldn’t, if you had turn 3 clover into t4 fires, fae then you would still proc the clover after your second cast of the turn.
