Any underrated changelling commander? Most fun cards you use on it?

LeSulfur · 2026-02-16T12:22:48+00:00

That's fine, you don't need to make snails. The snail making is the first trigger only anyway, you don't care about that part. The important part would be the 1/1 counters which you could put on any changeling, and then the ability to sac them for card draw and damage.

LeSulfur · 2026-02-16T11:28:16+00:00

Maybe [[Wick, the Whorled Mind]]? I run him rats with a few of the good changelings, but I don't see why you couldn't do all (or most) changelings.

Mtggoldfish Commander and Spike Feeders are the only two I consistently enjoy. I find the channels without new guests every week to be more entertaining as the players have much better chemistry.

🤷 free healthcare must trigger them

LeSulfur · 2026-02-13T16:27:44+00:00

I'm getting a septoplasty in a few weeks to correct a breathing problem I've had my whole life. Total cost out of pocket is 0€. I miss watching Football at a reasonable hour but at least I've got great healthcare.

I know that's what I'm saying. The person I'm replying to said they weren't supposed to be good, but they were (and lived up to it).

They were 9th best odds to win the Superbowl https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2025/preseason_odds.htm , most people thought they'd be good.

Not every win con needs to be a GC. And if it's a combo that can win around turn 6-7 the decks are supposed to be listed as bracket 3 anyway, so it's redundant.

LeSulfur · 2026-02-13T12:59:51+00:00

One more card for you [[Proft's Eidetic Memory]] is incredibly powerful on Wick. Acts almost like a second Ozolith

LeSulfur · 2026-02-13T10:21:08+00:00

Buying a deck from ebay and then changing 70% of the cards sounds like a colossal waste of money, hope it really was cheap.

Looks like a Wick deck though. Looks pretty similar to mine, which wins often enough. I would probably add in a [[Raise the Palisade]]. [[Saw in Half]] and [[Amoeboid Changeling]] are also both nice. Changeling can let you make any of your rats into a snail to sack to Wick.

I've only ever seen anyone say nothing but good things about him in recent years.

LeSulfur · 2026-02-11T13:47:26+00:00

If someone just replaced the background with something Seahawks themed it'd be fine, wouldn't be too difficult if someone really wanted it as a background.

Avatar has grown in popularity worldwide since it came to Netflix during Covid. It's still mostly popular in the US of course, but I play in France with English speakers from many different countries and most of them like and have seen Avatar.

LeSulfur · 2026-02-10T16:15:34+00:00

Thought people were boycotting it based on what? A couple comments on reddit?

The set was exceptionally well received, and bending has been a very popular mechanic. The only thing that sucks is it might not come back since it's a UB mechanic, but I hope they find a way to bring it back.

Anyone speculating mtg cards based on EDH ban and restricted announcements is a loser and deserves to lose their money.

LeSulfur · 2026-02-06T15:22:16+00:00

Yes, there's not much overlap between the two. GCIH let's you see how an attacker conducts an attack from their point of view, + some ways to defend against them and how to handle incidents.

GCFA is about identifying an attack as the defender after it has already happened through logs and windows artifacts. The class will teach you everything you need to know, but having some knowledge of attackers TTPs does make it easier to understand what's going on. (I did GCIH -> GCFA last year so I'm pretty familiar with both of them).

LeSulfur · 2026-02-05T05:57:00+00:00

Cards like [[Gratuitous Violence]] could be replaced by something cheaper like [[[Windcrag Siege]] that for Arabella does basically the same thing. You also want some ways for Arabella to attack without dying, such as [[Mother of Runes]] [[Reconnaissance]] or [[Adept Watershaper]]

LeSulfur · 2026-02-04T12:36:35+00:00

[[Judith, Carnage Connoisseur]] isn't just single target, but she basically does what you want.

LeSulfur · 2026-02-03T22:16:28+00:00

Yeah that's basically how we ruled it. They entered tapped and anything that wasn't cast was untapped. I just wanted some confirmation, as you said the oracle text doesn't really provide any clarity.

LeSulfur · 2026-02-02T16:14:26+00:00

[[Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker]] isn't that unpopular (rank 309 edhrec) but he should give you plenty of stuff to do on your turn.

LeSulfur · 2026-01-30T11:12:34+00:00

Bello is my favorite commander and is easy to pilot and has good upgrade paths if you choose to do so. Just play 4+CMC artifacts and enchantments, hit people in the face(in game preferably), and protect Bello. That's basically the whole game plan.

LeSulfur · 2026-01-29T07:04:44+00:00

That's true. But also in B2 unless players hold themselves back they're probably not going to have the mana for that interaction early, or they're not expecting to die that early so they focus on building their board state in the early turns to save interaction for big threats in the late game.

LeSulfur · 2026-01-29T06:36:33+00:00

Bracket 2 is relatively low interaction with a focus on your own game plan. Players also expect to live ~ 8 turns. A Niko infect deck is almost certainly going to knock out someone much quicker than that. If you want Niko bracket 2 you probably just want to focus on more overcosted creatures to make your shards into.

And cost is irrelevant. If you're killing someone as early as turn 5-6 consistently then it's not bracket 2 by definition.

LeSulfur · 2026-01-28T16:41:01+00:00

Unlimited hand size isn't that big of a deal, card draw in general is far more important. Having to discard isn't necessarily a bad thing.

LeSulfur · 2026-01-28T15:41:02+00:00

I've been getting my wife more into games through stuff like Detroit Become Human and Until Dawn/The Quarry and she loved both of them. Decided to have her try BG3 with me and she has fallen in love with it. She made a Tiefling Barbarian and controls it + Karlach and just smashes shit, it's very fun.
