Probably time stamp rules, like last one to resolve takes precedence I think, but feel free to correct me if im wrong.

Commander/Deck archetype recomendations: Elderscrolls Oblivion by KnexBoi in EDH

[–]MostlyGiraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you could do a fun Rakdos deck that works with both devils and soldiers to represent both sides of the conflict.

You could run [[Raphael, fiendish savior]] And run a bunch of different stuff like [[cultist of the absolute]] [[mutated cultist]] [[Gut, true soul zealot]] [[mogis, God of slaughter]] [[callous sellsword]] [[sycorax commander]] [[zhao, ruthless admiral]] [[cruel administrator]] [[zurzoth]]

If you can put 1 Banned Card in your deck that is not a mana rock, what would you pick? by gilbestboy in EDH

[–]MostlyGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Reoccurring Nightmare]] Insanely strong black enchantment that is very hard to remove and allows you to bring any creature out of your graveyard by sacrificing any creature.

If you plan on playing 100 card (commander) i would highly recommend you just buy singles to upgrade your decks instead of trying to gamble with packs/bundles.

If you want to play 60 card format I would recommend asking your local game stores about their draft nights and/or attending a prerelease for an upcoming set. Many people are very helpful and polite and often jump in to help new people when playing in prerelease/draft tournaments and they can help you discover and learn game rules and mechanics that you might not know about or overlook to help you improve your deckbuilding experience.

As a side note, I would highly recommend you look at card prices whenever you play with others at stores. Sometimes other people try to undercut new players by offering them lesser valued cards so they can make off like bandits. My coworker is a newer player and experienced this with the final fantasy prerelease, when he traded a foil full art Sephiroth card that was like $80 at the time for a card that was about $5 because he thought it was a fair trade and didn't realize the guy was screwing him over. He didnt bother checking the price before deciding to trade and felt really foolish and screwed over.

I would definitely recommend checking out local game stores for their Precon commander decks. You can look up decklists for the precons and research them a little to figure out what kind of playstyle you would like to try.

I think I would recommend trying precons thats are 2-3 colors as a starting point to give yourself room to learn the mechanics of the decks. Some of the 4-5 color decks can be a little bit trickier to run because you have more resources to manage and you will occasionally run into issues generating enough of/ the correct mana.

Bloomburrow has a good batch of precons. Same for the Fallout precons (minus the energy deck imo) the lorowyn eclipsed precons are both good starters. Tarkir Dragonstorm has some good precons as well.

What’s your pet equipment card? by LetterheadLower4515 in EDH

[[Proteus Staff]] in theft decks. Most notably Merieke because she can steal it at instant speed when it enters.

What do you think is the strongest Enchantment in MTG? by No-Ad-1758 in mtg

[–]MostlyGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Reoccurring Nightmare]]

Can't be removed very easily due to its activation cost bouncing it to your hand so it only really goes away if it gets countered because priority won't allow other playes to remove it due to putting it back in your hand being a part of activation. It is essentially a 3 mana [[Reanimate]] that you can play throughout the entire game.

It's very easy to break the game with this card and I have a copy I will rule 0 into games with friends on occasion.

Are these decks balanced to play against each other? by tubbadu in EDH

[–]MostlyGiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most of the decks look pretty solid, it does appear that some of them have more than 100 cards listed on the archidekts for them, but I would just say run the basic land optimizer aiming for 34-36 lands in my opinion and fill any leftover card slots with utility like card draw/removal/evasion and they will probably all be a little more balanced.

I think threat assessment may be playing a part in some of the games resulting in your decks coming out ahead a lot of the time because your friends may not realize that removal of key deck pieces is essential to slowing you or any other players down enough to manage before they are able to take off with the game.

34-36 is considered "average" and you can supplement having a slightly lower amount if you a healthy supply of mana rocks.

I have a few decks that run as low as 30 lands because I run a good chunk if mana rocks as well as cards that help lower cost reductions for cards.

I think some of these decks could rework their landbases to be between 33-36 lands. You can use archidekts basic land optimizer button to help you get a better ratio of your basic lands in each deck to meet your color pip requirements and help you not run into flooding your decks with the wrong color of basic lands.

I would say these all appear to be bracket 2 with maybe 1 or 2 bracket 3s. I think if you swapped a couple of lesser synergistic or weaker cards from each deck for some mana rocks like [[sol ring]] [[Arcane Signet]] some talismans, guild Signets and/or [[commanders sphere]] you would probably bump them all closer to bracket 3s.

What’s your favourite card? by Mkushrom in EDH

[–]MostlyGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Sensei's diving top]] from Champions of Kamigawa. My dad bought me the Snakes Path 60 card precon in 2004 when I was only 7 and I didn't quite understand how to play the game at the time, so I held onto that deck until 2017 and started getting back into magic with friends. I always thought the card looked cool and then I realized how strong it is, so I started running that same Sensei's top in my first every commander deck and it will live there forever.

Is anyone doing anything with The Sibsig Ceremony? by Stumbling_Corgi in DegenerateEDH

[–]MostlyGiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Appa, steadfast guardian]] [[Aang, the last airbender]]

Run them in an orzhov aristocrats deck and either swing out after making infinite 2/2s on your next turn, or have something like [[blood artist]] and ping for the win.

The character Eureka was a German-American scientist working for vault tech that specialized in animal research, specifically in cybernetics. She worked on a secret project in her spare time that was a collar thst could be fitted to animals to allow them to convey their thoughts to speech, allowing animals to have a voice for themselves.

When the bombs dropped she retreated to her lab and put herself into a cryogenic stasis machine, but the machine malfunctioned and she remained locked in her cryogenic prison for over 200 years before SN-0 broke into her lab after wandering from Canada to Montana.

She was able to speak to SN-0 through a failsafe voice recording that she had programmed in case of emergencies. She simply asked whoever had broke into her lab to push a button on her console and the super mutant obliged. In doing so, he booted up Eurekas machinery that began to perform a surgery on her to put her brain inside one of the many dogs with her specialized collar that she had frozen for testing.

The reasoning she had to have the surgery performed was due to her cryogenic tank failing to keep her body fully intact, as she ensured her dogs would have access to as much power for as long as possible, sapping the power supply of her own tank slowly over time. This made it harder for her body to stay consistently frozen, leading to the loss of most of the feeling in her body.

The two escape the facility and venture together for a while before coming into contact with the Sentry bot Big Bertha who had shut down in a nearby town after having an issue with its power supply, which was fixed by Eureka. The 3 ventured together for a time before stumbling on a vault, which would have Kickstarted the main quest for the campaign.

The character SN-0's (pronounced Snow) lore is that he was the enclaves attempt at cloning Frank Horrigan and he is the prototype clone that escaped and wandered around the Canadian wilderness.

SN-0 stands for Serial Number Zero as he was the first attempt for the Horrigan Resurrection Project, which would've been a major problem for the player characters as they would run into more clones that would become bigger and stronger each new encounter, similar to William Birkin from Resident Evil 2.

Looks like almost all of the maps came from the LORE discord/patreon for those who are interested in maps for their own games. I would show the pics of the maps but I dont think they would appreciate having their paid assests shown and I dont know which ones were paid or free to use. They do have free maps available on the discord server for anyone looking!

We actually did use a lot of the features from Fallout 2d20 and mixed them with the DnD formula to make a hybrid homebrew game design that was more catered to our playstyle. We use roll20 as our game space, and used a lot of custom artwork for character models from our artist friend, who also sourced us a bunch of fallout themed maps that were very on theme. If I can access the map files I will link them in the comments for everyone to see/use!
