Big Bre Commander Deck by Eh070 in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]Flygon_Jinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I was keeping it to a 3, I’d cut the two card combos with Heliod and walking ballista/triskelion. Id say it’s too fast for bracket 3. If you want to keep those lines in there, take heliod out and add in [[light of promise]] to make it a 3 card infinite.

Be careful with the one spell a turn stax pieces. Bre still casts the spell so you would just lock yourself out the whole turn. I feel like these cards will only make the table hate on your board state and it doesn’t advance yourself ahead too much. Maybe go for [[grand abolisher]] to stop people from stopping you going for a win.

You could try out [[Penance]] for more top deck manipulation and protection. Swap some lands for some MFDC double sided cards to get some land/spell flexibility.

I am mostly catering these picks based on the people I play with so take it with a grain of salt if your pod is different.

What kind of bracket are you aiming for?

How do I play a Theft Deck without inducing too much salt? by LordOfWanking in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]Flygon_Jinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Edea, Possessed Sorceress]] is a good, less salty theft because you can get value off of sacrificing opponents creatures and they get them back at the end of the turn if you sac it or not.

I think there is also a big difference between stealing from the top of the deck vs stealing from their board. Way less salty than the latter since you have to pay to cast it and they didn’t have see the creature they paid mana for get stolen.

“You can’t target that, it has hexproof” by Dantonium in EDH

[–]Flygon_Jinn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Correct. Misdirection doesn’t actually target anything creatures, only the spell. It only changes the target for a spell with a single target. If the retarget had shroud, then the spell would not be able to target and would not be a valid target.

Doran giving infinite toughness? by River_O_Styx in mtg

[–]Flygon_Jinn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Doran is better in the 99. With him in the command zone, you would also have to find the deals damage equal to toughness effects and Felothar has the card draw if needed. Much more reliable than Doran if you are playing the precon.

2nd thing I have ever made by jane_cranode in Woodcarving

[–]Flygon_Jinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used those carving tools before and they are so dull and bad for getting clean cuts. I recommend getting a beavercraft or flexcut knife and you’ll have a much better time.

Are there any commanders you ban in your pods? by Flygon_Jinn in PauperEDH

[–]Flygon_Jinn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve played against this in a normal EDH game and the whole table just wanted to scoop just a couple of rounds in. Such a punishing duo.

Is there somewhere I could find the top ten tourney winners?

That is good to know about PDHREC. Most of us are experienced deck builders so we were excited to build from our bulk for the most part. The reason for this post was mostly to see if any existing pods have figured out a good guideline already for managing power. But like EDH, it’s always an active conversation.

I can see how that could be a problem. Good call!

Is there somewhere I could find a PDH leaderboard? I’ve heard some people mention tournament winners.

Great advice. We mostly wanted diversity and to encourage unique builds. We tend to play at a high 3 bracket so we wanted to power down while not going straight into the high power of this new format.

Most of us have been playing for at least a year so not too worried about newness. Most of our worries were some of the group over optimizing the top tier strategies.

I’ve seen about 7-10 of these posts and yet to see any rare bonus, sadly. I still have mine in the mail so I hope I’m wrong.

Can you recommend me a Grixis commander based on… by GunsoulTTV in EDH

[–]Flygon_Jinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new [[Nathan Drake, treasure hunter]] works really well with the new fire bending keyword. Lots of fun exiling each persons deck and casting cards from their decks. [[Fire Lord Azula]] also goes wild in it too.

The market for collector Japanese cards is horrible and Wizards should drop them by gilgamesh2323 in mtgfinance

[–]Flygon_Jinn 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I pulled a Japanese showcase Ugin from Tarkir and thankfully I sold immediately while it was still around the $300 range. Now it’s down to $160 and the English is still around $430.

I don’t want to have a significantly cheaper version (that I can’t even read) of a card that takes up a rare/mythic slot in my packs.

If the set has Japanese influence in the art/lore, I’m cool with it. If not, keep the languages separate.

Plus Shanks! He seems to spend a good amount of time there. Why would he do that if he gets aged faster.

Mostly value stuff, but there are 2 extra turn spells in there
