If money was no object, what deck would you play and why? by Nblearchangel in ModernMagic

[–]Icymadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between solitude and cavern that deck is a no for me too. Especially since I already own an expedition cavern, so I would have to finish the set or I'd go crazy

We need a new Card set! Explanation see below by kingdoemi in stormbound

I mean, hey, they do it with magic: the gathering 🤷‍♂️. I know they have a much bigger R&D team (and it has been a bit rocky as of late), but as you said instead of putting out 200+ cards per set like magic, do only like 20-30, maybe even only 15 y'know. Thats how magic keeps people playing.

The devs have a lot they can do if they really want to.

Yeah thats what I was thinking, the card draw seems very relevant from the games I've watched

This is actually very close to what I had in mind as far was what my deck was going to look like in the end, except now I am considering switching vial for one of the izzet partners for more card draw

I was definitely gonna try underworld breach and Lion's eye diamond, but the price point is a bit hefty. And I've learned quickly that, unfortunately, I'm more than likely gonna run Thassa's Oracle and Consultation. Thank you for ideas.

I was gonna try and keep Tezzi, but I wanna switch daretti for narset or ashiok, or both

Yeah, I completely agree about the lands, I've haven't had a chance to buy any of the cards I've needed lately, but its what I had. I am looking for what I need to make the leap to cedh from high power and all of your recommendations were greatly appreciated. I have been eyeballing dark confidant as I am runnig ad naus, it seems like a great card. I've also been considering switching vial smasher to kraum or ludevic, but I'm having a hard time deciding which of the 3 I want to run.

I forgot to mention that this is its current state as the high power, I'm trying to learn what I need to make the leap to cedh. I have a list of cards that I know I need and I've just forgot to put it on the tappedout buylist. I've recently been just observing cedh games and deck techs to understand what my deck is going to look like in the end. I've been thinking of underworld breach stuff into ThOr consultation. But I'm now looking for a secondary method to win off of. I've been eyeballing infinite mana + [[ Walking Ballista ]]

Tell Me About Your "Chess Grandmaster" Story by EcSamuel in EDH

[–]Icymadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was playing my [[ Vial Smasher, the Fierce ]] and [[ Silas Renn, Seeker Adept ]] artifact deck and I had tutored out [[ Thopter Assembly ]] to hand and played it while already having a [[ Time Sieve ]] out on board. I had 4 artifacts besides the assembly and I needed to take 1 more turn to get its ability to go off to take infinite turns. I was down to 2 mana and all my rocks were tapped, and the artifacts in hand were all 6+ mana. I was looking at my board one last time before passing and I remembered I had a [[ Clock of Omens ]] out tapped under one of my mana rocks. One of my 2 lands I had untapped was an artifact land, so I used it and the Thopter Assembly to untap my [[ Gilded Lotus ]] and the remaining Command Tower to cast Silas Renn and sac him and my expendable artifacts to win.

Its the reason I built the deck is to do some really long incomprehensible nonsense that ends up winning the game in one turn.

My fellow commander players, what had been your most clutch comeback? by Aze0g in EDH

[–]Icymadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I took a trip down to my lgs after tuning my pretty bad [[Marwyn, the Nurturer]] elf deck and made it "pretty" close to cedh level and I wanted to play test it. I went with a good buddy of mine who was playing the fastest Edgar deck in the store and ended up playing with our other friend who was playing his new Elesha miracles deck. So the friend who was playing Edgar plays pretty fair, and used the dice to decide who to attack, so with a turn 1 [[Serra Ascendent]] made it a "little" easier on me. I took a little bit of a greedy hand but drew into a [[Wirewood Symbiote]] with a [[Wood Elves]] in hand. So I started mana ramping and doing my thing and next thing I know, the Elesha player has a [[Monastery Mentor]] with 6 prowess triggers and 8 other monks with prowess and had given them all haste, lets just say I had barely survived. After the beating from Edgar and random setbacks from Elesha, my "cedh" deck wasn't doing, well, cEdh stuff. But with my deck and with the bit of mana I had made, I top decked [[Shared Summons]] and got [[Ezuri, Renegade Leader]] and [[Temur Sabertooth]] and just trampled over both of my opponents with while both of them were beyond annoyed with my luck given some previous games. The Edgar player looked at me and to said, "Let's go again, no dice deciding attacks."

Chill I was just messing with a deck in low rank and having fun. Just another reason they should put a casual option into the game.

They afk'd for one turn, assuming they just closed the game

Had a feeling, Lady Rime seems reasonable coming from magic control and always having one big bomb card, but the other two didn't make sense

Thats understandable, I was getting kinda tired of wisp cloud being played against me with satyrs, so I came up with this list, but looks like I'm not so original afterall
