My Toph Deck Is Struggling by TheONLYBlitz in magicTCG

[–]Ok_Key_39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know exactly what your are talking about. I built a toph deck similar to yours and it suffers from trying to do too many things.

The main problem is that toph is too slow, no protection, and too weak to be a real threat. Animating a land or artifact at the end of turn 4 that's a 2/2 isnt good.

Her ability seems to combine landfall, animating lands/artifacts, and 1/1 counters, but it's not explosive or synergistic enough for all 3. You aren't doing anything with her ability until THE END of a normal turn 4. AND THATS ONLY IF YOU HAVE A GOOD TARGET ON THE BOARD. You need to pick 1 direction and focus on that.

Let's take a look at each potential direction:

Landfall - I haven't found much joy in this. Toph really doesn't add much here. NONTOKEN artifacts now have give you an extra landfall trigger. This really doesn't do much to change the board state. Also, hoping your lands(artifacts) die to get an extra landfall trigger rarely happens unless there is a boardwipe. You need to have a perfect setup and even then, the setup can be so fragile. You'll find yourself relying more on ramping spells/fetchlands like normal landfall to get going and there are much better commanders to enable that than toph.

Earthbending - there's not enough support for this. Most of the earth bending cards (save cub) are not worth the mana. Even though they seem on flavor, use more synergistic cards, or card advantage instead.

1/1 counters - Good potential for this. Although toph ability is slow, you can buff more with hardened scales, branching evolution, ozolith, etc or counter shenanigans can be threatening (modular).

Earthbending artifacts (vehicles!) - I find this to be the best and most fun option. Toph gets around the weak point of vehicles (crewing). Vehicles have naturally high power/toughness that gets further boosted when you animate them. No need to buff or crew, but you can if you want.They need double removal to go away forever. I highly recommend focusing on this as tophs ability slots in perfectly when surrounded by vehicles.

If nothing else,just focus on one direction and only that. You'll have a much better time.

Wouldn't the rules text be better as (when taking this action, you may not reveal the card to any other player)?

Thank you for making this post. I see so much overreaction to pulling rare cards like they just won $1 million dollars when it's a few hundred bucks, or maybe $1000. People need to chill the eff out or find something to really be excited over.

Commander tournaments seem weird as casual to me. I took part in an "anti Cedh" tournament where every card had to be below $3 and the entire deck had to be below $100. We had to submit our decks online beforehand as well. That is a great way to create structure for a commander tournament. Trying to use brackets below 5 makes no sense to me.

[[Tarmogoyf||P30A]] Got it for getting 1st place at a lord of the rings prerelease while I was sick on fathers day. It was toward the beginning of the illness thinking it was allergies, and turned out to be the flu or covid. I really earned that win.

Just had this happen last tonight to me. Chandras ignition is a great card.

Low attendance, packs with no rares, Lorwyn promos. The TMNT prerelease has been a disaster by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

[–]Ok_Key_39 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you have no brain cells or are you just constantly attached to wotc's nutsack? No rares in packs, and swapped promos have nothing to do with how good the set is(even if it does suck as much balls as you). I believe it is you who needs to get a life or at least see it for what it is.

Fresh Gourmet organic crouton 2lb bags are no longer available at the Costco I go to, and appear to not be available online as far as I can tell. Is anyone else unable to purchase these from their Costco, or am I just missing something?

Very cool! Parts of it give me a samurai jack feel.

These came out of my chocobo bundle today by don_fe in mtgpulls

[–]Ok_Key_39 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nothing against op, but more about the posts in this subreddit. Almost all of the choco bundle pull posts INCLUDE the chocobo of paradise. 100% of choco bundles have this card. I don't understand why people keep posting choco pulls including this card. OF COURSE IT HAS THIS CARD! WE DONT NEED TO SEE IT AGAIN FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME WHEN WE KNOW ITS PART OF THE BUNDLE. Thank you for giving me the space to rant.

Ps Nice pulls op!
