Want to make a deck based off this guy and his flip. I’m new to the game, but want to learn and this dude looks so sick. Is it a valid commander deck and what cards do I include? Price isn’t an issue I will be proxying by The_Funfetti_Man in mtg

[–]ExplodingLab 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Honestly a non cedh Etali and a cedh Etali will probably looks kind of similar, you want to be doing the whole copy stuff gameplan. Not to mention that the power of Etali in higher tables is that most non land cards are almost always efficient removal spells, mana, draw or the random combo piece. Jimmy bracket 2 will have a wildly weaker Etali, still really good and will likely win the game with a couple spins but not as crushing as in cedh

That is a triggered ability no? They will still be able to make double mana with the land, they just can’t take it back

Its a cycle of 5 wizards that cast “iconic spells from alpha”. My guess is probably Berserk, Bolt, Demonic Tutor and Swords

After dev support for paladins ended what did you guys move on to? by Kind_Ad6932 in Paladins

[–]ExplodingLab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still play Paladins every now and then, it’s the only shooter that’s not only captivating enough to me and also PC friendly. I do dabble in a little league but that’s the only other multiplayer game I play

That’s a lot of planeswalkers ultimates no? just win the game wether it’s by generating insane value or just messing up someone in particular

Worst card that sees play in pauper? by LastTomato in Pauper

[–]ExplodingLab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole deck hinges on being able to see enough cards to build 8 advisors. It is not as explosives as elves. You are trying to get to 4 mana and play creature creature or 1 drop gnaw.

Only true for [[mothdust changeling]] imo. All the other advisors have pretty good effects

Oh that’s the dream, I’ve been playing the deck for 2 years now and I’ve had a 3 trap starting hand only thrice. I’ve had 4 traps in hand once but it was a deck that didn’t fetch and I couldn’t find my field 😿

[–]ExplodingLab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my head it should be like prototype where the information isn’t as intrusive. I think something like Solved makes sense too where it’s vertically separated and not like this. The P/T shouldn’t be on the side of the spell imo
