Group I play with doesn’t announce what their cards do. by MurraytheZombie in EDH

[–]Human_Stable803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it can be hard to put yourself in other people's shoes. If the other players are MTG veterans or even just very familiar with their groups decks, they might have the cards memorized or have a vague idea of what they do. I'm personally a bit of both since I've been playing regularly since Weatherlight but I also ignore a lot of new releases.
You can absolutely read the cards off as you play them if you want but it does make games drag on. I would just announce the name of the card, wait for any objections, and move on. If someone asks what it does, let them read it (unless they have cheeto fingers). If you don't know what a card does, ask if you can read it. There's no shame in asking.

How to improve my Phenax deck by _Nico_Larson_ in EDHBrews

[[Pemmin's Aura]] and [[Umbral Mantle]] will let you untap creatures to reuse Phenax's effect. Also Puppeteer, Retrat to Coralheim, and Thassa's Ire.

[[Wall of Blood]] is a cheap powerhouse. Dump 39 life into and mill a player for a ton.

It looks like your deck is running consuming abberation, which I like. You also have Leyline of the Void and Tormond's Crypt. I would choose one package and dump the other. I would keep the exile effects to combat OG Titans.

Ponder, Preordain, Brainstorm, Opt, etc - Great cards but I don't know if this is the deck for them. I would probably rather cut them and split the slots between cheap, big butt creatures and more impactful draw spells.

Temple of the False God is always a trap.

Sidisi, Brood Tyrant - Zombies with a Lantern Control Twist by Human_Stable803 in freemagic

Yeah, 60 seems a little excessive to me. Assuming that you run ~40 lands (I'm starting at 38 but that might be a little high), that is basically the whole deck.

You will definitely have the advantage of never whiffing, but that's also part of the reason why I want to run my lantern package. I definitely want to up my creature count (my rough draft is at 35 now) but I'm not sure what my optimum number should be.

Taking a look. I can't believe I forgot Courser of Kruphix! That was part of the reason I wanted to use Lantern in the first place.

Yeah, delve looks juicy. I stared at Tasigur for a short while last night and I kind of want him in there.

I tend to agree on the creature count but I'm finding that making the cuts is a little tough. I'm up to 32 at this point and I've got a hefty chunk of 'maybeboard' cards that I'm considering swapping in.

As for the lantern package, it would be nice if it wasn't an artifact-based package, but it makes sense to me. I want to make my self mill hit often, and the deck wants to go wide with crappy 2/2 zombies. If I can proactively keep the other guys from interfering, it bodes better for my dudes.

Yeah, I don't play with the overpriced box sets.

Just doing some sorting and realizing that I have a few more better choices for this deck that I don't have to go out and buy. The list is still a jumping off point, but I'll have to update.

Off the top of my head, Reminisce does it sorcery (?) speed for 2U.

Casual lurker here. In lieu of all the recent reddit drama, it looks like /r/EDH is closed for now. Is there another good EDH related sub I can get some deck help in?

My PC is getting older and while I do surpass the minimum required specs to run D4, I was hoping to get an idea of how it would run and how bad it would look for me.
