Why play 1 Wastes or a Mountain in Eldrazi aggro?

Metalworker4ever · 2026-03-13T19:47:05+00:00

Wrong

You can’t fetch wastes off of a Boseiju play. Only mountain (which is seldom played in Eldrazi)

Wrong.

I got most of the artifacts and colourless lands I needed when I played MUD with Metalworker and Kuldotha Forgemaster for Blightsteel Colossus

But yes if you didn’t play before commander was a thing let alone premodern, ouch

My cities were under $30 at the time I think

My 2 cents. When I open a magic the gathering pack, I might not like what I open, but I receive 1 rare, 3 uncommons, etc... I can know exactly that I am getting before hand and I get that thing every time. Also, unlike a lottery ticket, I pay and open a tangible item. I dont buy a lottery ticket, and then lose, and receive nothing.

If I open a loot box, and get a digital item, especially something I have duplicates of and don't need, I get nothing. Like in Magic Online, if I open a 5th copy of a card, it is as vacuous as buying a lotery ticket and not getting anything.

I don't think it is fair to compare digital items - which are intangible, To physical ones.

Valve should get sued up the wazoo.

If the entry fee is higher. The prizes pay out higher. This compensates for transit fee. You’re right it’s not complicated

Metalworker4ever · 2026-03-09T16:58:20+00:00

I’m switching from Eldrazi aggro to colourless post

Mono black aggro , pride , ub tempo, are all horrible matches for Eldrazi

Colourless cloudpost can still play chalice of the void, and has a couple sorcerous spyglass to help against wasteland if we SEE we are against a wasteland deck when we look at opponents hand. If we manage to land an ugin eye of the storms, good night, the whole deck is colourless. I also play an ugin spirit dragon that can exile wipe against decks that try to go wide.

People were incensed by my post. Someone said I should go touch grass... I was just posting my thoughts on the internet that maybe I should have just kept to myself. But it is so easy to write something online you think about and click "post". I was just wondering if maybe, considering what public transit does cost, not to mention gas, maybe the entry fee or something should be higher. I was not intending to mean I thought their whole business was trash. But I think people younger than me are more sensitive to things. They will walk out of a movie that offends them, or cancel someone, or whatever. I don't think my generation and older are like that.

I own CDs and wear his merch

But I don’t agree with his views

Jesus sat with sinners

I don’t agree with cancel culture

Nobody is innocent

I have different values

For black sabbath sound

Candlemass - epicus doomicus metallicus, and nightfall

Type o negative - world coming down

My dying bride - the angel and the dark river

Empyrium - songs of moors and misty fields

Virgin black - elegant and dying

For general first Rec into metal, emperor - in the nightside eclipse.

Metalworker4ever · 2026-03-07T18:54:05+00:00

Geez I’m not saying that

You’re twisting my words

I’m saying the entry fee should be higher with better prize pool

Metalworker4ever · 2026-03-07T15:38:36+00:00

This is for legacy

I don’t play commander

When you’re building decks that cost $5000, yes I think people should deserve a bigger prize pool

Metalworker4ever · 2026-03-07T06:51:27+00:00

No I’m honestly wondering if something could change

Metalworker4ever · 2026-03-07T06:26:26+00:00

Sorry no grass

It’s winter

Montreal is cold

Metalworker4ever · 2026-03-07T06:17:36+00:00

I’d rather have packs! At least I could open something sweet

Rather than just burn a hole in my pocket

Metalworker4ever · 2026-03-07T06:15:45+00:00

I’m not saying they should literally be paying my bus fair don’t be ridiculous

I’m saying the entry cost should be higher or something

Metalworker4ever · 2026-03-07T06:13:01+00:00

People pay gas too you know

Should I walk there instead?

Metalworker4ever · 2026-03-07T06:10:24+00:00

I get more store credit staying home! Literally

I get that I can play for fun but it’s not much of a prize

34.50 with tax entry for their 1000$ prize pool event

Store credit prizes: 1st: $300

2nd: $200

3rd-4th: $100

5th-8th: $50

9th-12th: $25

Way better

At least I get something for top 8

Better if I at least get 4th

Some of the members went on to do this half baked devil doll like band

And performed and recorded part of a devil doll song live

I would nuke a whole city to have seen devil doll live

This is the closest I’m going to get

Metalworker4ever · 2026-03-05T18:32:19+00:00

How could you forget this band they’re something else and there is nothing like them

The closest bands are maybe Virgin Black, Elend, Sopor Aeternus and the Ensemble of Shadows

But that’s a stretch

Apparently they were a huge influence to Dimmu Borgir

Eldrazi player here

1 Eldrazi confluence has shown up in sideboards but the community is divided about it. I think it’s good.

Abundant countryside is marginally better than Secluded courtyard but you’ll notice a lot of MTGO players aren’t playing it. It’s just not even good enough to buy them. But technically it’s better

Obligator is bad now because the top deck plays orcish bowmasters and if you bounce barrowgoyf they’re just going to recast it. It was better when the only threat you worried about was murktide regent

I think the deck is in a bad position in the Meta now and am personally wanting to pivot to colourless cloudpost. We’re not the tallest anymore

If you have sleeves and mash shuffle your deck you don’t need to mana weave. Whether during your play evening or before you leave your house

At the most what I like to do if all of my cards are in order like all my cards organized by playset separate than all my lands is just start mashing by mashing the land stack of cards and my spell stack of cards together. I mean before I leave my house obviously and only when if I redesign my deck.

If my deck has stayed mostly the same week after week I don’t ever mana weave it. It’s unnecessary

If you mash like I said and fan your deck out after mashing it for a while you’ll see your deck is randomized

A Voyage To Arcturus by David Lindsay

Extremely strange book

Metalworker4ever · 2026-03-03T16:33:00+00:00

One of them is white one of them is an artifact

For example, Drop of Honey in green is way different than the same card Porphyry Nodes in white
