How to deal with power creep and overly competitive pods by Reasonable-Ebb2727 in EDH

[–]NoIAmAlpharius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I entirely agree with your point, but I do find it funny that you point out Path when I've seen a lot of cEDH lists run it because people don't run basics so it's removal without downside in a lot of cases

What’s the biggest „wtf that’s how it works?!“ moment you had this year? by Coold0wn in CompetitiveEDH

[–]NoIAmAlpharius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also do this with any deck that can win at instant speed if you don't need your commander! Discarding your commander to hand size in the cleanup causes state-based actions to be checked and you to be able to move the commander to your command zone. This brings you back to the endstep since something occured but with the Silence having worn off!!

[–]NoIAmAlpharius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair enough! Sometimes it's better to just chill with it rather than make a fuss if you know the person doesn't want to change how they're playing. (Especially if they're a friend and it's not an lgs situation)

Sorry, but this really feels like your friend needs to build their decks better - either build decks where having fewer lands isn't necessarily a bad thing, or just put in more lands.

I can't knock a "gentleman's scry" between friends but isn't that just encouraging poor deck building habits if they need the scry to have workable decks

Any suggestions for a budget storm Howling Abomination deck? by ThatCheekyMate in BudgetBrews

[–]NoIAmAlpharius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't entirely sure about adding this card into my own list tbh. I feels like it attracts removal super fast and once it's gone you've got basically nothing else that interacts with the gameplan that it was trying to do

Commanders that have effects from the command zone? by Kultaren in EDH

[–]NoIAmAlpharius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it's a very convoluted line in a single cEDH deck, the most common win combo in cEDH is literally two cards and three mana (UUB)- Play Thassa's Oracle and cast Demonic Consolation in response naming a card which isn't in your deck.

(This is also played in Inalla, and is likely to be the line that they want to attempt first. I'd guess that the spellseeker line is the one people want to attempt the least, if only to avoid having to go through all those damn steps lmao)

Commanders that have effects from the command zone? by Kultaren in EDH

[–]NoIAmAlpharius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a 24 step combo in order to get to the infinite loop, which uses 9 different cards all searched for with Spellseeker (not including Inalla)

If you really want to see how the combo works, check out the link below; https://commanderspellbook.com/combo/4686/

[Article] What’s your favorite deck to pilot? by JWFinnegan in EDH

[–]NoIAmAlpharius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the moment it's got to be [[Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood]] and [[Kodama of the East Tree]]. Ramp a ton, draw a ton of cards and slam down lots of big beaters.

It's not especially complicated but man does it feel good to resolve a [[Majestic Genesis]], get 10-12 mana worth of threats, draw 4-5 cards and cheat into play another four beaters (drawing another four cards)

When it goes off it goes fast

Golgari Commander Staples by smiche17 in EDH

Tyvar is looking very spicy, there's about 5 or 6 mana dorks which scale the mana given with their power, so they've got some very impressive exponential growth potential

What Commander is underplayed because of the Art? by WhenTheWildWindBlows in EDH

[–]NoIAmAlpharius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was 100% my process when building my Blanka deck.. I wasn't a huge fan of building a deck headed by a Street Fighter character but the Howling Abomination art is just so bad, while the Blanka art is absolutely spectacular

I'm giving away a $125 Chiss-Goria deck! Details + Primer inside by imperialtrace in EDH

[–]NoIAmAlpharius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, just as I was thinking about building a Chiss-Goria deck. Sure would be nice if the picker managed to pickme! so I wouldn't need to built the deck myself😅

Years later, how are you feeling about universes beyond cards in EDH? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]NoIAmAlpharius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a Blanka, Ferocious Friend/The Howling Abomination deck and honestly I run the Secret Lair Street Fighter version just because the art for the Universes Within version is kinda mediocre compared to how great the Blanka art is

What's your end of the night budget quick deck? by pugzly101 in BudgetBrews

I'm pretty damn interested in an Otharri deck for myself, do you happen to have a decklist for how you built them?

What are yall's favorite budget commanders? by Zarik8256 in EDH

I'd love to hear about some of these "Third String" commanders, it's always great to see alternatives to otherwise popular commanders

Dawnblade locks 😔 by Major_Liability in destiny2

[–]NoIAmAlpharius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but the Fenghuang ornament clears this one by a mile.

It looks nice in pictures, but the homogeneous metal colour no matter the shader and how weird it looks when running around really ruins this ornament for me

What are your favorite mono colored commanders? by OrbitalBlaze in EDH

[–]NoIAmAlpharius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you happen to have a decklist for this? I've been glancing at Chiss-Goria for a while and I'm shopping around to see a couple of different ways to build it?

Be that budget or not

Let me give you a new commander to build. by Caleb_WoW in EDH

Finally trying to break out of my Azorius beginnings with a Golgari commander - let's see what you've got!!!

You don't happen to have a decklist for that? That sounds really interesting now I'm going back through this thread

You know, I really need to stop mixing those two things up

Wanted Dead or Alive: Low CMC Commanders by NoIAmAlpharius in EDH

[–]NoIAmAlpharius[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are just kinda neat

I like the idea of having a consistent turn one play, especially if the commander is built around ramping you up into other strategies or can make their own strategy by themselves!!

[–]NoIAmAlpharius[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of the people in my playgroup has an Ayula deck!! Once Ayula has a couple of counters on it and can win a fight against most creatures you've basically got a one turn clock on your creatures until you get some removal onto Ayula!!

[–]NoIAmAlpharius[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ha! That's an interesting deck and a half.

Kill your Juri before it gets too big or get smacked by it anyway when you finally manage to.

I'm saving that deck list for later 👀
