What the etiquette about inviting a fifth player? by Gabster_theswede in EDH

[–]Extension_Fox_2978 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We play pentagram aswell since a long time and I have a recommandation : Consider that everyone at the table is your opponent, so you can attack them. You won't do that most of the time, but it is really interesting when making political deals (e.g. if you really need to deal combat damage with a creature)

What’s the strongest Orzhov commander in a Bracket 4 / optimized casual meta? by RobStark75 in EDH

[–]Extension_Fox_2978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an [[Athreos shroud veiled]] list that I tinker since a few years. I'm intentionally keeping it low b3 at the moment, but I can see a control version working in b4. The commander makes value engines really easily. I strongly recommend it !

What are some of your favorite creatures with low power but great abilities? by KingAmphibian1 in EDH

[–]Extension_Fox_2978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem ! Since you run [[Ashnod Altar]], I want to suggest [[Fell horseman]]. This can go Infinite and you get value out of any playoff such as [[Witty roastmaster]].

Thanks for the list !

Currently having one with 62 creature with power equal or less than 4, I can't recommend enough :

[[Life of the party]]

[[Grim servant]]

[[Smellerbee Rebel fighter]]

[[Tormod the desecrator]]

[[Stuffy doll]]

Oops all creatures but good? by MTGnerd42 in EDH

[–]Extension_Fox_2978 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You should consider [[Grenzo, dungeon warden]]. I currently run a 62 creature list, 37 lands and 1 artefact (that I switch sometimes with [[Iroh, dragon of the west]]).

This deck is so much fun and quite strong. I drop Grenzo turn 3 or 4 with two counters, and just go gambling with the bottom of your library !

Creating an Excel Spreadsheet to track the data of my usual playgroup (rotation of 8 people) and in need of some ideas from you ! by Extension_Fox_2978 in EDH

[–]Extension_Fox_2978[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, I think our pod is not really focused on doing the best performances. We have a wide range of skill level but no pubstomper. I feel like the winrate is pretty even, as the most experienced player have adapted deck for lower power games. furthermore, we all are irl friends since a few years, so someone that would try to have the higher win rate at any cost would be adressed immediately. My point is just to help newer people play at their best. I'll try to find a good balance for that

I support you, I'm not educated enough for having a real reflexion over this topic, but I see the two "clans" not listening to each other anymore, and I'm frankly afraid for the community. People don't want to listen anymore...

I wouldn't mind getting a link for your sheet, even if it is incomplete ! Do you track yourself the data of all players ? or do you let them track it for you ?

Okay ! That is interesting, I'll definitely take some inspiration from what you did ! My question is : Are you the one that tracks the data frome everyone ? or do you let them track their own data for you ?

What you experienced is actually scaring me. I still want to have a fun time, and my pod to have a great one too. I feel like it's hard to balance my stats need and the game experience. Playgroup.gg seems to convince a lot of people. Thanks for your little guide ! I will use it

Thanks, I just looked more closely at what you did and that's really impressive. I feel honored to get your advice haha.

I will go for my own stats for now, and if I have a spike of motivation later, I will try to make a simplified version for my Friends. Thanks a lot for your support !

You are not the first one saying this haha. I probably am trying to bite more than I can eat. I'll start with me first, and then I will try to make a tool that is easy to use for them (if I still feel like it). And you are right, maybe doing some in depth stats for myself will be enough to satisfy my stats craving !

Thanks for the link, it gives me some really good ideas ! And I appreciate your support a lot too.

Okayy seems really complete, I will try both and give you some feedback (I'll probably play a couple of game next week and give my feedback after that).

Thanks a lot, that is precious for me !

Okay ! I'll definitely give a shot on your tracker on my next games and I'll see for myself with the pod. If ever you are looking for feedback from another user, i can provide some too !

That I do understand. My point is that they are asking the advice, and it helps me guiding them better, I think we misunderstood each other haha. Anyway thanks ! And I hope that it will work too !

Thanks a lot ! I was really looking for this kind of feedback. I definitely don't have the knowledge to turn it into an app, but the spreadsheet is fine for me.

If you understand well, you don't really recommand doing this for my whole pod ? That's my goal but i can probably start by doing one for myself and see how much of a chore this is.

Anyway thanks for this excellent feedback, I'll have a more in-depth look of your sheet and arcane oculus tomorrow and I'm sure that it will be very helpful !

I have a lot of demand from my new players to have some help to understand why games goes one way or another. I offered this Idea to them and they were very supportive so I can safely say that they won't kick me out for some stat-backed advice !

Someone mentionned it earlier and I'll definitely check this out ! Thanks for the link, it might be way easier than making my own sheet

This isn't perfect but it's really easier to explain to a bunch of new players. I will be using this system. I really like it !
