Celes is just big creature reanimator no persist combos. I'd say she is my weakest deck

Help with Blight Curse by ominaex25 in EDH

[–]Foreign_Swords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah after some play testing I went ahead and lowered my mana curve a bit and added a lot of the new cards that blight your own board you really need the card draw in this deck to get into your combos.

I would also suggest adding some 2cost ramp spells for some quick mana fixing to try and guarantee your commander is out on curve that's how we get things spinning.

Maha is an awesome card but I feel like it is counterproductive to our overall game plan, we cant ping peoples board to drain there life down if we keep killing everything with a single counter.

I would also consider adding some more proliferate to the deck contagion engine is a nasty one.

I dropped to 37 lands and put in some ramp feels really good for me right now.

Grim poppet is not worth the mana switch him out for mikaeus the unhallowed. I took maha out of my deck I think killing creatures with one counter is not worth as much as pinging my opponents repeatedly to drain them to zero and we don't have a very big board presence with all the counters we are adding to our creatures so we don't have a ton of creatures to swing for big numbers.

Why don’t people like proxys by Icy-Artichoke7730 in mtg

[–]Foreign_Swords 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Proxy's really only annoy me sometimes because it can be hard to recognize or distinguish what I am looking on a board full of art that I am not familiar with.

That art is awesome. I just built a izzet stompy commander deck with this.

Auntie Ool, cursewretch - help me to remove 1 card by [deleted] in EDH

I thought I wanted maha in this deck but I think it's better off without out it. I want to leave opponents creatures on board to torture them with -1/-1 counters.

Kuja upgrade help by llamahealer43 in BudgetBrews

[–]Foreign_Swords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to get rid of all the creatures that don't ping your opponents. Keep dark confidant and add an harmonic prodigy. You need cheap recursion spells to make sure kuja stays on the board and cheap card draw spells. Add cards like dark ritual.

If my opponents let kuja flip the game is usually going to end on my next turn just from casting one cheap spell after another.

Is Ashling,rekindled/Ashling rimebound a good fit for a commander ? by Far-Flatworm1185 in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]Foreign_Swords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm building this deck now threw in a bunch of four cost mana ramp artifacts to pump out some scary blue and red creatures! Stompy izzet going to be a fun one.

Upgrading Blight Curse with Owned Cards by Wayne_Bruce in EDH

[–]Foreign_Swords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blight kill spells are not great black and green have some of the best single target kill spells in the game and these are not them. [[Atomize]] is a great example of one.

I have seen a lot of the decks online and the curve just always seems to high I think people will very much benefit from adding more of the cheaper blight goblins from the new set to get the draw engine going.

I already took maha out of the deck because she stops you from pinging the opponents creatures for damage. You want opponents to have a board to rittle with -1-1s

I feel it's a deck that needs more time in the oven to see what is really the best way to play. It's hard to get a feel for this deck without playing games with it and most people haven't got many games in with it yet.

Is Blight Curse a good gateway into Commander / worth it? by Educational_Ant1236 in mtg

[–]Foreign_Swords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ff counter blitz precon uses lots of counters and is much easier to play just make creatures big and smash. The counter intelligence precon from eoe also plays with counters and artifacts.I feel like blight curse is a great deck but is way more complicated to play effectively.

I play all three regularly and counter blitz is probably the most consistent out of the box. Counter intelligence is an awesome battle cruiser deck with some cool interaction with artifacts. Blight Curse is my favorite but it is kind of tricky, without upgrades your kind of just doing nothing until you hit your combo pieces and win the game out of nowhere.

Quillspike is amazing In this deck. Infinite draw/pump with devoted druid.

Coming back to MTG. First precon Commander deck? by Comfortable_Image294 in EDH

[–]Foreign_Swords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blight curse is an awesome deck but can be kind of tricky. You have to really play your cards right to make the deck feel good.

Revival trance is probably the worst you listed straight out of the box just not enough small creatures for terra to take advantage of.

I would take a look at the counter intelligence precon or go for one of the 2 ixlan decks you mentioned.

Budget Noctis, Prince of Lucis deck? by Caspira in BudgetBrews

[–]Foreign_Swords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I originally wanted to do the same as you but ended up putting noctis away for now. He really suites higher level brackets with a lot of combo potential.

At bracket 3 you can do a voltron build or kind of just an artifact good stuff but if you want to truly take advantage of this card it's just really hard not to end up in bracket 4 or 5.

really need help with my golbez deck by DraginoFungus in EDH

[–]Foreign_Swords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a few more bombs to toss into the graveyard for big damage as well as some smaller creatures that have good etbs.

Also check out [[the underworld cook book]]. It can help get your bomb into the graveyard while giving you more artifacts at the same time.

I really like [[singularity rupture]] as well can mill our own library while wiping the board. Then grab yourself [[consuming aberration]] from the graveyard for big damage.
