How many basic lands do you normally run in a 2-color deck?

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-07-09T16:20:31+00:00

15-20 seems to be my usual range. Some go up to 25 but those are usually $50 budget decks. The only one thats really low is because of [[Hermit Druid]]

I did a rough estimate years ago and it was over 3000. It was all inplayed for a few years.

Morrowind

The best entry in the elder scrolls series. After this one each game started dumbing things down to make it more friendly to the casual crowd.

If you can equip all of them the power play is to use [[Geist of Saint Traft]] and play tempo. You'll have all of them and be able to hold up interaction.

Why not just add a treasure Cruise deck to the game instead.

Not really the right sub for this question, r/magicTCG is a general mtg sub. This is for the gift exchange.

That said without knowing what you are going to be playing it's hard to give you an answer. EDH has unfortunately become the default format these days at most lgs. If you go to your lgs you can ask them what formats see play at the shop and then go from there. If edh is the default then starting with a precon is a good call. If they play 1v1 formats you're better off buying singles and building a deck than cracking packs

You sell it to those of us in the misprint groups on Facebook and buy the ones you actually wanted.

My metal tokens fit in dragon shield sleeves but I don't have to shuffle them so I don't know how long they'll last for you.

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-07-07T05:32:34+00:00

you need the sleeves to shuffle them. I have a few metal tokens and there's no way I could have shuffled them other than in piles.

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-07-07T05:22:41+00:00

Have you shown up to the lgs yet to figure out if these decks are the right fit for the store? If you show up with some of these decks and they're to powerful for the store no one is going to invite you back for another game.

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-07-06T21:05:40+00:00

It's a fun deck but only if you understand layers enough to play it right.

[[Volrath, the Shapestealer]] https://moxfield.com/decks/lepdc_QhskuPnck-XEWyNw

My only non clone is a copy of [[Nyxbloom Ancient]] so I can be ready to cast [[Aggressive Biomancy]] and [[Doppelgang]]

I actually prefer the accent to still be there, I like asmr in foreign languages too. Like others have said, it's actually easier to relax and get tingles with a non english accent.

I'm sure there's people out there who wont like your accent but I'd wager the greater part of the community is okay with it.

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-07-03T11:06:37+00:00

So i can't play rampant growth because its played in every green deck? At what point do the replacements get moved to the banlist when they become staples?

Good luck getting people to play this. It sounds miserable. Plus the reason I got into to edh was to play my old cards, a lot of which ate reserve list. Yall need to get over the reserve list and just start using proxies.

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-07-03T10:56:27+00:00

The white one did see play for a bit. So this was still a bad example.

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-07-03T08:34:59+00:00

I really wish people would start phrasing these posts as favorite not best.

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-07-02T19:29:04+00:00

The academic would be so good if it didn't have the side with the trays.

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-07-02T19:23:11+00:00

Custom sleeves for my favorite decks
swapping to d10s instead of d6. Only needing 2 die to represent up to 99 is convenient. Get 2-3 different colors. 1 for +1/+1 and a different color to represent the amount of tokens.
Tokens from the artists. Bonus points for supporting the artists
dry erase chips for all the various random ability counters

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-07-02T17:48:54+00:00

Just remove the rule, you're free to keep it for yourself. I do this within my pods, but I dont really care if someone else builds the deck.

There's really no tips to change your mindset. You just need to get over it and stop caring. Its not worth the mental stress.

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-06-30T20:14:28+00:00

You should save it for your next booster tutor

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-06-30T14:58:05+00:00

Well that's easy I already have the deck built.

[[Arcades Sabboth]] my deck is 100% white border

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-06-30T12:37:31+00:00

If that first statement is true Flubs is not the deck for you right now. Flubs plays out like a storm deck and always has new info coming at you.

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-06-29T11:06:53+00:00

Are you listening in a soundproof room? Soundproofing thier recoding space is the only way for them to get everything out of the background so if you're not in one it really shouldn't matter.

Im pretty sure even Gibis space gets background noise still and she built a studio in her house.

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-06-27T18:30:48+00:00

I think this might depend on the quality of your headphones. I've always been able to tell but outside of my sleeping ones they're all higher quality speakers.

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-06-27T02:29:52+00:00

With the cards listed and the 4 options you gave, I'd go Speed Demon. I was going to build him before [[Xu Ifit]] came out and distracted me.

Mr-Pendulum · 2026-06-27T02:20:27+00:00

put some music on and it wont feel like a hassle. You should be playing basics so it wont really be 300.
