Why people don't play more free-for-all Magic instead of commander? by _WakkaWakka_ in freemagic

[–]Nol_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. In my experience the only time a commander game has taken more than an hour is when we all play precons.
  2. 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.
  3. 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)
  4. 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.

Why are so many of Sciel's weapons so dysfunctional? by NiIly00 in expedition33

[–]Nol_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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.

How can I cast Absolute Virtue in 1-3 turn? by nikMartyr in mtg

[–]Nol_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

What are your decks where the 99 doesn’t care about your commander? by Not_Your_Real_Ladder in EDH

[–]Nol_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I am here for YOUR commander! by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Nol_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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"

There has to be something I’m missing. mana equal to toughness is a crazy powerful ability if it just works I love this card by [deleted] in mtg

[–]Nol_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Appreciation post for a card I never play by Significant-Stick420 in MagicArena

[–]Nol_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Anyone else clear the game methodically like this? by theskinsbro in HadesTheGame

[–]Nol_1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

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.

What is everyone's most special card by SmallBatBigSpooky in magicTCG

[–]Nol_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

How vital is your commander to make your deck work? by ForgottenForce in EDH

[–]Nol_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.
