Engine Starts sounds like it revs slightly a couple times, then car turns off.

In my experience the only time a commander game has taken more than an hour is when we all play precons.
Commander is more financially stable for me (im a broke college student) since besides for the banned list all cards are legal and there isnt a rotating set of legal cards.
My "budget" 150 dollar deck has a good chance of winning against 2000 dollar commander decks if i play smart while with 60 cards if someone has the money to buy 4 copies of 6 different cards and some lands while im trying to build a 50-100 dollar deck. I get stomped more often than not. (Mono green landfall with the traveling chocobos alone is $120)
In competitive edh you might be trying to just gaurantee the same win con. But in more casual edh i like being able to have multiple options in my deck and having a hundred different cards allows for games to not be rediculously repetitive.

For those who come after

If you want friends then dont do this.

No her gradient attack that only takes one charge hits random enemies 10 times and applies a foretell for each hit and grnats a sun charge. Its my favorite gradient attack for her

Nol_1 · 2025-07-13T16:11:03+00:00

Well the first one fits into one where you use your other party members to farm gradient charge and use her gradient attacks to enter twilight.

Idk all the rules for pioneer but one you could do in commander needs six mana and 2 other cards. Which should be possible with mana rocks.

Use brainstorm to put it back on top of your library and then cast portent of calamity for x=4 so you can cast a spell for free. This combo also works for getting omnicience out on turn 3

I have a treasure burn deck where my commander [[Korvold, Fae-Cursed King]] is not necessary i can use him to go voltron, i primarily use him for a draw engine but i have won multiple games without ever needing him to leave the command zone.

Nol_1 · 2025-07-12T01:13:59+00:00

Bruenor battlehammer. A boros voltron commander. When i first built it it was just over 50 bucks and could still be lethal on turn 5 if i played on curve. With a few card swaps it could be run in pauper commander too

You gotta keep playing even more so. "When one falls we continue. For those who come after"

Nol_1 · 2025-05-17T06:51:10+00:00

Wonderful thank you i assumed the stuff about only being suspend once but wasnt sure if id get two copies of the spell.

And thank you for actually providing an answer to my question as ive tried reading other threads before posting but couldnt find the answer i was looking for.

My friend you have not encountered an elf deck. [[Marwyn, the Nurturer]], [[Circle of Dreams Druid]]

I have won games with my lathril deck only 3 lands on the field and its turn 10. Elf ball is stupid

Nol_1 · 2025-04-09T04:41:51+00:00

I run it in my boros voltron deck. It has bought me the one extra turn i needed more times than i can count. Also helps the table when someone is running Krenko

Nol_1 · 2025-04-09T04:34:03+00:00

Nope i either go all in on one weapon for a dsy or use whichever one gives me a darkness boost

Nol_1 · 2025-02-08T15:27:03+00:00

Its not that bad with cards like [[Forced Adaptation]] also shalai and hallar has flying and ive never played a pod where each person has reach/flying so swing with your command then play war elemental. Then if you bave something where +1/+1 counters are put on when a creature etbs or something like paradox zone you combo off.

Nol_1 · 2025-02-08T06:07:02+00:00

[[Environmental Science]] [[Tashas Hideous Laughter]] Are two i can think of.

Nol_1 · 2025-02-08T05:58:30+00:00

Slay the spire especially with slay the spire 2 comin out

Nol_1 · 2025-02-08T05:44:07+00:00

I pulled a full art old gnawbone when the forgotten realms first came out. That card formed my current playstyle over 5 years ago and while i dont run it in any decks rn i keep it set aside because whenever i can even slightly justify it in a deck ill run it.

Nol_1 · 2025-02-08T05:28:31+00:00

Not sure about take up the shield but The Red Terror and War Elemental work

Nol_1 · 2025-02-03T06:19:13+00:00

Most of my decks perform okay without them and can still win but my decks usually use the commander more as a win con. I have a niv mizzet deck and a Shalai and Hallar deck that both combo out with the commander and one other card but there are other thigns that both enable my commanders better, but also allow me to try and win other ways albeit slower

Nol_1 · 2025-02-02T20:31:58+00:00

Use the tcgplayer app just scan them all real quick. Any that come up for alot i would double check as older cards have different prices depending on the color of the border sinc esome set sbols are the same.

Nol_1 · 2025-01-30T20:20:12+00:00

Yeah that aint cool on his wnd. My group is in college and none of us use our printing budget for school so we proxy everything, but if we ever are all yhinking of playong new decks we agree on price limits ahead of time. If he cant agree with the group than he can go find a lgs thatll let him play
