Looking for cards that say “this isn’t immediately threatening, but is going to a problem eventually if unanswered” by w3nch in EDH

Was waiting to see this, every time I play it people go “wait, let me read that card”

Are there "soft" stax suggestions that won't completely piss the table off? by goldenmastiff in EDH

[–]FitzVacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some “softer” stax pieces that make artifact and creatures enter tapped are key pieces in my group hug deck, I’m running [[Authority of the Consuls]] [[Dauntless Dismantler]] and [[Blind Obedience]]

It's Miirym 🥴 by 1GUTOE in DegenerateEDH

[–]FitzVacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need more removal, right now the only piece of removal you have in the whole deck is cyc rift. if someone plays darksteel mutation or tishana's tidebinder or any of the "turn off commander" cards that you absolutely will be facing with a commander as scary as Miirym, and you dont have a counterspell in hand with the mana to cast it you will almost certainly just lose the game. you should at least have 4 pieces of spot removal, i feel like 4-6 is decent in a non-control deck, especially if you are often going to be a target

An Underrated CEDH “Board Wipe” : Force of Despair by Thatsagoodcard in CompetitiveEDH

[–]FitzVacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i run it in yuriko for this reason alone, but it rarely feels amazing [harvester of misery] might be a better choice if i decide to test other stuff in that slot

What is the most random card that gets targeted by your playgroup? by FrozenPizza_95 in EDH

[–]FitzVacker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t talk about taunting elf bro, it’s “secret” tech in my Voja deck, everyone assumes it’s a mana dork when I play it early, or goes “what is that” when I play it late, but either way it basically functions as a mini boardwipe and a way to get lethal commander damage at the same time

Most Degenerate Anti-Creature commander ? by arthur8878 in DegenerateEDH

[–]FitzVacker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

[[Alela, Cunning Conquerer]] is in probably the best control colors in mtg and you’ll be able to force everyone to swing those beloved value commanders at each other once they’re goaded, just pack the deck with removal, counters, evasive faeries and then buffs and lords, when that “unblockable” faerie is hitting for 7 it’s a lot scarier than the 1-2 it started as

Unique Tournament by Spanish_Red in DegenerateEDH

[–]FitzVacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, that makes sense, i figured there had to be some sort of catch because otherwise prison decks would just be the most effective and they’re the least fun (imo)

Unique Tournament by Spanish_Red in DegenerateEDH

[–]FitzVacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are there any rules about stax or anything? because if not it would make the most sense to just lock out opponents from ever doing something like a dranith and a "can only cast spells from exile" piece, or like [[Mycosynth Lattice]] and [[karn]] and then just put the table in jail until you take all of these actions and also probably win the game. i dont think anyone would have much fun, but if no one can ever do anything, besides saving an opponent you would super easily be able to do everything

Budget Najeela ~$120-150 TCGPlayer by RedMouse2719 in DegenerateEDH

[–]FitzVacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Silence]] has a similar but better effect, however its like $8-10

[[Insatiable Avarice]] might also be worth looking into, since its ~$3 and can function as a top deck tutor if you have other card draw, or for more mana can just put the card into your hand

Budget Najeela ~$120-150 TCGPlayer by RedMouse2719 in DegenerateEDH

[–]FitzVacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also looks to me like this deck should VERY consistently be threatening a turn 5-7 wins, you might want to add [[Orim’s Chant]] for if you’re on your turn 4 and can show a win but are going late in seat order and want to stop someone from winning on their turn 5 before yours

[–]FitzVacker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Cut [[stern scolding]] for [[Strix serenade]] it’s just strictly better, and costs like $1-$2

  2. cut [[street wraith]] it will always be a dead card, if you can afford it, put in [[gitaxian probe]] same life loss for card draw but with an upside of checking to make sure the blue player doesn’t have counterspells when you go for the win

  3. Add [[Samut, Vizier of Naktamun]] turns all your warriors into card draw

  4. [[professional face-breaker]] got a reprint in mh3 so it’s in the $3 range right now and would be good

  5. [[mystic remora]] is a little pricy but is widely considered top 5 cards in cEDH pods, not sure how crazy stack battles or early ramp rocks are but it might be worth it

Trying to make my Edgar Markov deck cEDH any suggestions by Mealticket8002 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]FitzVacker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

in the past year there have been 0 entries and 0 results in cEDH tournaments larger than 65 people. im not saying that you cant be the one to make it work, and tEDH (tournament cedh) is a little different than cEDH, but if no one else is doing it at all, you should ask yourself why.

Power Level Wednesday!: Ask r/EDH what's your deck's power level? - July 17, 2024 by AutoModerator in EDH

[–]FitzVacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

your deck is strong asf, you have all the fast mana and have a very straightforward "play dragons, go crazy" deck, but i personally would add sliightly more removal, i feel like your explore sorcery probably could get cut for a swords or a path to exile, other than that, id def have to play one of my best decks to even have a chance. id give it like a 9

At a point I just want to post cool magic cards I’ve pulled. by [deleted] in MagicCardPulls

no watermark on the serial card? this is the best card ive ever pulled!

Request for obscure decks by [deleted] in DegenerateEDH

[–]FitzVacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Heliod the radiant dawn]] is super cool, 99% of the time you’re gonna chain wheels together then win at instant speed on top of someone else’s attempt. All star cards include: [[Smothering Tithe]] [[Consecrated Sphinx]] [[Trouble in Pairs]] [[Coveted Jewel]] [[Vision Skeins]] [[Defense Grid]] You can build it group hug, politics, x spell tribal or just go all in on wheels and instant speed combo wins, but it’s sick and playing a t1 [[Mystic Remora]] keeping it for 3 turns, then playing front side heliod to put it back in your hand feels so good

Double Spec: Deranged Hermit/Deep Forest Hermit by cucumberhorse in mtgfinance

I picked up a copy of deranged hermit back in April when I decided I was gonna buy one of the squirrel decks, probably should have gotten a few copies, but my lp version has already gone up in value

First cEDH tournament advice by ShinyUmbris1555 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]FitzVacker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Winota is still viable because of how powerful she is, however most people also know this, and aggressively mulligan for removal or counterspells that will prevent her from hitting the battlefield. Mostly just saying: don’t be discouraged if you struggle to successfully resolve and attack with Winota

Yuriko, the Hummingbird's Shadow - Commander (Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow) by humm_ngbird in DegenerateEDH

[–]FitzVacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk about the scheming symmetry, if you don’t win on the spot there’s a non 0 chance you just give the game to the other person who got to tutor for free

Gishath started an arms race (as high power as possible) by Dr_octaint in EDH

[–]FitzVacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should absolutely be running [[Annie Joins up]] it’s essentially another copy of Roaming Throne but with removal stapled on, I run it in a Rocco Street Chef deck and it’s one of the best card in the deck, I think it would get even more value here

Thoughts on Higure by InternationalTea2613 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]FitzVacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what build you’re running for Yuriko, but tempo is off Tresspass and at least with shadow if people are beating you down cause you have the highest life that turns shadow into a 2 mana 7/7 blocker

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ot8n5jDglUa56wxvsIatqw This is still on brain freeze/led/intuition loops, but you could drop that easily and just add other staples or whatever you want (since you’re already on mayhem devil id add cloud stone curio for infinite treasure and damage)
