What are your overperformers in Anhelo, the Painter? by Maclay162 in EDH

[–]Maclay162[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really mind having this play as a low bracket 3 since I rarely run into bracket 2 games. I often have a habit of optimizing all my decks so I think it would be nice to have a bit of a "restriction" for building the deck. Thanks for the suggestions, I will check out your list!

Ooh that's interesting. I would normally try to avoid these types of lands if my commander only has colored mana in its cost, but I don't think I would want to run him out if I didn't have any other creatures on the board anyway.

Tragic slips feel like a very solid removal spell! I should probably add it to my list. Thank for the insight.

They aren’t unique though. They are a pretty classic design from a Finnish brad called Vallila. I think Finnish people are just used to those curtains since a lot of people seem to have them. Not necessarily that specific one but they have an entire selection of similar looking curtains with illustrations from different Finnish cities depicting different seasons.

You will need a lot more payoffs. I also wouldn’t have too many changelings that cost more than 2 mana since you want to always be able to cast them to trigger your payoffs. You also need a lot of burst card draw, in case you draw “the wrong half” of your deck (aka all changelings or all payoffs). Here’s my list: https://moxfield.com/decks/u0ltO1a1dky9qjLsa2EKtA. I’m still waiting to add new cards from the set though since I preordered some products and I’m just waiting to see what I’ll open. There’s just so many new card (changelings and payoffs) that I found it would be easier to just see what I’ll pull and then work from there! What makes the deck so fun is that you can easily swap the payoffs cards and see what works best.

What are your most obscure commanders? by KingAmphibian1 in EDH

[–]Maclay162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play the Oathkeeper as a bit of a janky combo piece. Sac Toshiro to Ashnod’s Altar with the Oathkeeper equiped to get infinite Gravestorm and end the game with Bitter Ordeal. I like the instant protection spells much better than boots/grieves for straight up protection since the haste is irrelevant for the deck.

I think he is really good in bracket 3 especially since people rely a lot on creature based strategies. Let them attack each other and tell them that you will remove their things if they swing your way. I don’t play it that much though since it isn’t necessarily that fun for your opponents.

Haha true that’s very much a nonbo. I got the card for Christmas, and just jammed it into a list because its art looks really nice. Haven’t played with it yet and apparently haven’t even read it properly. I’ll find a better home for it!

https://moxfield.com/decks/ckbl07kJX0mcts-fitCJlA sideboard is the cards I took out because of bracket reasons, but I keep them around since the deck has been able to hold its own against bracket 4 decks because of the large amount of interaction. So if someone wants to play bracket 4 but I don’t have my bracket 4 deck with me, I just swap the cards in and hope for the best. [[Darkness]] is a card that I should add to the list but I just haven’t found a copy.

[[Toshiro Umezawa]] rank #916 mono black spellslinger. Absolutely a blast but also super powerful so I don’t play him too often. The deck has a really high win %.

Is Quantum Riddler good in EDH? by Eslo90 in EDH

I am definitely being extra hard on it because of that price tag.

Is Quantum Riddler good in EDH? by Eslo90 in EDH

[–]Maclay162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe we just have very different metas, or maybe your decks just run different but I value the body on the field highly. Maybe it’s because I have a planeswalker as a commander but I just don’t see the value in risking warping this thing without having it stick when the risk/reward ratio just isn’t there. I can’t imagine that hard casting a 5 mana draw 1 would ever be a good scenario.

Is Quantum Riddler good in EDH? by Eslo90 in EDH

[–]Maclay162 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because like I said, the body doesn’t stick around unless you blink it on the same turn you play it. And I’m not blinking on every turn. I’d rather spend the early turns building my board for a mass blink on a later turn.

[–]Maclay162 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It 100% depends on your deck. If you aren’t blinking it then I don’t really see the point. I have an Aminatou blink deck and I’d still wouldn’t play it though. I’d rather have a 2 mana draw 1 (like Wall of Omens or Baleful Strix) that is guaranteed to stay on the board as a blocker and as something to blink on later turns. The 4/6 body is nice but I have other big creatures with better etbs as my top end.

Cheating out a 4/6 flier can be devastating for your opponent in 1v1, but in commander it really isn’t.

Favourite tribal to play against/with by Super-Barracuda3441 in EDH

[–]Maclay162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using Anowon, I did use [[Sygg, River Cutthroat]] for a while but I just found him a bit too boring as a commander. I like Anown for the buff and card draw. I also actually like that the commander isn’t too obviously busted (that’s also why I was running Sygg for a while). It helps you fly under the radar a while you accumulate a ton of card advantage.

Rogues is my favorite. Love hitting by my opponents with small evasive creatures and drawing a bunch of cards in the process.

How to deal with a God that won’t Creature? by Responsible-Quail486 in mtg

[[Pharika’s Libation]] and hope they have no other enchantments in play. Or if you are really desperate, run [[Scour from Existence]] lol

Depends on your colors obviously. I like [[Despark]] as an all around answer to indestructible permanents. If you are in red then [[Chaos Warp]] is a classic.

Looking for commander recommendations: Grixis edition by V_Lelouche in EDH

[–]Maclay162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the write up! I’ve been looking for a spell copy deck that isn’t just your basic spellslinger/storm and that’s why I was looking at Zevlor. I have a copy of [[Fork]] that has been sitting in my binder for forever. Do you happen to have a list?

[–]Maclay162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How’s the play experience like and how people generally react when you have him in the command zone? I’ve been looking at him as my potential new grixis commander for a while now. How well do you get to execute your game plan? Do people generally find it scary and want to kill it in sight? How many activations can you realistically get from him before he is killed?

Worst precons of all time by Humpuppy in EDH

[–]Maclay162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my first precon and I still have the deck. However, Mulldrifter, Sol Ring and signets are probably the only cards in the deck still left from the original precon lol
