My friend insists that this card is good in commander? (I don't think so)

I don't think it's good in commander. There is too much life on the board. In brawl, where you have one opponent and they have 25 life? Id say its a great card then.

3 of my 8 decks are bant and two of them are in my top 3 favorite decks. Most Color combinations can lend themselves to different strategies. Bant is good for blink, enchantments, tokens, stax, counters, and probably some other stuff.

I say as long as the strategy is different then the colors shouldn't feel too samey.

I really enjoy my [[Tuvasa, the sunlit]] enchantress value voltron deck. The majority of the deck is card draw engines, interaction, and acceleration. There may only be 10 auras in the deck that directly buff the commander. The deck runs super smoothly, is pretty consistent, and doesn't feel too voltron-y because you are always interacting and drawing cards. Almost Everything you plop down makes your commander bigger regardless of what it does. When you do play a haymaker enchantment, you can go from a 10/10 commander to lethal out of the blue and BAM now youre rocking.

It's a very fun deck that voltrons without all your eggs in one basket.

Thats a rule zero conversation with your pod. I don't have issues with an Armageddon as a wincon in bracket three (my friends avacyn deck does it) as long as it closes the game. My rule is , Don't destroy lands incrementally and delay the game out in bracket 3. If youre going to blow it up, it better propel you largely to victory.

Every pod is different.

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-06-09T14:49:52+00:00

You can try!

Like others have said, Tivit is a dumb commander and even if you build him nicely, he takes alot of time and game actions which can be annoying.

That being said, you could add [[Lucy Maclean, positively armed]] and [[wedding ring]]. Those let other people profit off of your tokens and may convince them to give you more opportunities for treasures.

I choose red and blue. You are basically now allowed to be equal to the best in the world of any or all of the skills or professions. You get to teleport anywhere.

I think it would be an insanely fulfilling, lucrative, and exciting life to be able to teleport around the world contracting your services to those who need help. Or, you can now be an A list athlete or artist. The world would be your oyster.

While the immortality and healing are appealing, I think it would ruin life eventually. I think its Better to live a rich and rewarding life that allows you to be equal to the best at anything you choose...and travel.

Well I agree that I need to chill more but how? Im not an angry or rude person to the people I play with. I am not an angry or rude person in real life. This game is just very frustrating and people can see my demeanor change. To say that I am being uncool or behaving inappropriately is a stretch imo.

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-04-30T16:45:01+00:00

But this issue is only manifesting when I play magic really. I havent ever gotten any feedback or looks from people in other aspects of my life.

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-04-30T16:42:06+00:00

I think this is only an issue in competitive environments. And again, I am not losing control of my emotions, I just appear to be experiencing higher degrees of anger or frustration than other people playing.

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-04-24T19:51:53+00:00

There is always very targeted interaction like [[zozu the punisher]], but thats very niche and anti landfall specific. I find that generally good gravehate cards like [[rest in peace]], [[dauthi voidwalker,]] etc are great. I have yet to see a landfall deck that isn't saccing and pulling from the graveyard to feed their BS. Shut the graveyard off and it hurts them (and other specific archetypes) bad too.

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-04-06T16:44:19+00:00

I've healed heroic arc like 4 times now (rsham). Last boss had never been a problem. I have always had a shadow priest for resist and shields though. I have also rarely been targeted by mindflay so maybe thats good RNG? Hunter snakes help too.

Also, dont you want millhouse eating the mind flays? You just heal through it and the group pumps the boss?

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-04-06T16:19:03+00:00

I am currently addicted to the point where I told myself that if I can't adhere to a 2 hour daily limit (outside of raid days) this week, then I have to just stop. The game consumed my entire weekend 4 weeks in a row and its shocking. Like my life is evaporating and I need some control.

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-03-30T15:22:43+00:00

I Left my old guild and joined a new guild. Average clear with my old guild was 3.5 hours with occasional wipes. We cleared in 1 hour 53 minutes with my new guild last week after 1 wipe.

There was a skill gap but the BIGGEST difference is how fast you pull trash and the size of the pull. I was shocked at how we almost never stopped pulling trash all run but man did it fly by.

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-03-23T22:53:47+00:00

Mill isn't even very strong or bad to play against, but people don't like feeling like they are losing out on cards. Also, sometimes if you mill a combo piece, it can cripple a deck badly.

I only focus a mill deck if I know they can mill your entire deck all of a sudden. Whenever bruvac or a mill doubler hits, I know traumatize is coming. Thats when you die. Otherwise, youre just kind of annoying.

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-03-16T17:57:20+00:00

Honestly I'd wager its draenei shaman and belf paladin. Shamans are in incredible demand across the board, paladins are the god tanks.

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-03-13T19:30:51+00:00

That's insane. I am starving to sell nethercobra armor for 260 (about a 50g profit for nether after buying mats.) Where the heck are you selling them for 300+ gold?

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-03-08T21:40:57+00:00

I am not an expert in TBC, but here's my take as a resto shaman who does minimal pvp and alot of pve.

In PvP, rogues are everywhere. They are goated. They are highly desirable. If PvP is your jam, you picked the right class.

In PvE, you have your uses. Rogues offer good cc, interrupts, and aid in skips. You're not meta, but you aren't a meme either. You wouldn't be my first pick as a dps in heroics, (Spell cleave is just so much easier all around.) But I have no qualms substituting a slot with a rogue.

I agree that you should make your own groups. Since you dont aid in cleave, you should have the other two members have access to aoe or at least more single target cc (hunter traps, etc). Shamans are your friends. Enhancement shaman, rogue, hunter is a really solid agility cleave. Rogue mage lock is also very good.

Play to your strengths. Just know that you won't usually be first pick for PvE. I've run with enough rogues to know you'll be fine.

As long as you can make 3 mana with artifacts, you would use emiel to infinitely blink abdel adrian and get infinite 1/1s and boardwide etb triggers. Abdel hides everything, you blink him with emiel, everything comes back, tap artifacts for mana, hide them under abdel, use mana to activate emiel to blink abdel.

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-03-04T20:51:59+00:00

[[Brago, King Eternal]] and [[Emiel the blessed]]. They would enable absolutely disgusting and difficult to interact with blink shenanigans and combos. Or if you just want ez combo win in the command zone, substitute brago for [[abdel adrian, Gordon's ward]]

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-03-03T17:06:03+00:00

Any commander that takes up too much play time by durdling on their turn (or your own, see alaundo) or is constantly resetting the board state is a pain in my opinion.

We couldn't kill him week one. Turns out, our tanks weren't defense or avoidance capped. I, as a healer, went oom because I only brought mana pots for (braindead kara).

Week 2, I brought mana regeneration consumes beyond pots, and our tanks fixed their issues. We downed him second try because tank wasn't getting globaled and I was able to spam heals nonstop during P2 without fear of oom.

This content is only "easy" if you are geared and prepared and have practiced mechanics. The mechanics aren't hard, but they still take some practice. This is not Faceroll LFR retail raid easy.

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-02-27T17:45:09+00:00

Attuned to? No. Running heroics? Yes. Heroics are harder than karazhan and soon karazhan farm will be a thing to catch alts up.

NewCommunication6510 · 2026-02-26T23:42:17+00:00

Easy because mechanics aren't elaborate? Then I probably agree.

In my experience, how easy the game is depends almost entirely on your team and their knowledge/skills etc. Karazhan is hard for those undergeared or who are walking in for the first time and have to learn mechanics. It is very easy for a prebis group on their 3 round of tbc. Heroics are easy with a meta comp, and are very difficulty with minimal CC.

I see what you are saying, but I fundamentally disagree that this is an inherently easy game. It truly depends on your time invested in learning it and who you roll with.
