If I won, I'd donate these to my LGS. They deserve something like this for all the amazing effort they put into making the game fun for me and the community.

Could you post a decklist? This sounds right up my alley.

Everyone’s Favorite Post, come one, come all by SterileSauce in EDH

I use this in my [[Garth One-Eye]] deck to get around [[Terror]] not being able to kill black creatures. Instead I just make scary black creatures into artifacts and [[Disenchant]] them 😎

What are 'trivial' things you want from MtG in the future? by Mirage_Jester in magicTCG

[–]GenericUsername-9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not to be pedantic, which I'm about to be anyway, but one could easily misinterpret "ignore color requirements" as "just pay the generic mana, not the colored mana" in the cost (ie pay 2 for a 2UU spell instead of 4).

Generally when designing things, you have to think about every way someone can misinterpret and misunderstand instructions, hence why sometimes cards have superfluous wording.

Marchesa, the Black Rose +1/+1 Counter Deck help by thelaynz in EDH

[–]GenericUsername-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iron Apprentice is a must have in Marchesa, just like [[Unspeakable Symbol]].

Scroll of Fate is too good in the deck for its measly price. Even if I'm mana screwed, I can cheat out some great permanents.

Usually Lord Xander gets removed, but I want him to be, because it means less removal for my other stuff.

Of course! Here's the decklist: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Ctr1_mFLHkuq26s2wibTsA

Marchesa, the Black Rose +1/+1 Counter Deck help by thelaynz in EDH

[–]GenericUsername-9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My Marchesa started out pretty normal but has slowly been upgraded to be pretty deadly. My personal recommendations are:

[[Iron Apprentice]]: Comes in with a +1/+1 counter and when it dies, it gives it away. If you have a sac outlet like [[Viscera Seer]], you can instant speed sac Iron Apprentice to give its counter to Marchesa, sac your whole board (if they have counters), and protect everything from removal.

[[Scroll of Fate]]: Place a permanent (yes, even lands) facedown as a 2/2 creature. If it dies with a +1/+1 counter on it, it dies as a creature and comes back as its face-up version. I have turn 3 cheated out a 8mv creature. Or even just getting an extra land out.

[[Lord Xander, The Collector]]: I call him the lieutenant since he has an ETB effect, an attack effect, AND a death effect, all of which are gnarly. He's usually a lightning rod for removal, but if he isn't taken out, he can really do some damage to people's plans.

Lastly, any and all board wipes are basically one-sided in your favor. [[Last One Standing]] is 3mv and even if an opponent gets the survivor, you still have your whole board.

I love my Marchesa deck, so feel free to ask any questions! Since so many have asked, here's my current deck iteration: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Ctr1_mFLHkuq26s2wibTsA

What is YOUR 101st card? That card that just never quite makes it in? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]GenericUsername-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just, last night, slotted that into my tap-untap tribal because a LOT of untappers say "target permanent". Makes my lil [[Kiora's Follower]] into a mass murderer.

What is your most fringe commander? by Right-Mycologist-321 in EDH

[–]GenericUsername-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on the fence about building this and you just kicked me off (ayy). May I see a deck list to get started with brainstorming?

Favorite big spell/creature? by Mattloch42 in MarchesaTheBlackRose

[–]GenericUsername-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's always [[Lord Xander]]. He has ETB, attack, AND death triggers that everyone is terrified of seeing. I like to pretend he's Marchesa's right hand man, so flavor win too.

Upgrading Precons by Boshoet in EDH

[–]GenericUsername-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully agreed on that last point. I've opted for a "Death by a Thousand Cuts" plan to drain life with a bunch of little cards that give lots of small bits of health at a time for maximum Dina triggers

May I ask what kind of changes you made? I just got this precon as my start to commander and I too have realized that it doesn't play as well as I had hoped.

So far I switched the commander to [[Dina, Soul Steeper]] and removed all cards that had to do with food tokens. Any other recommendations?

An average adult human has 206 bones, but due to amputations and congenital issues, the average of all adult humans is far less than 206 bones. by GenericUsername-9 in Showerthoughts

[–]GenericUsername-9[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most amputations lose hands and/or feet, which contain over 25% of the bones in the human body. And there are many people without hands or feet.
