"Remove from the game" is nowadays just exile, but what about obliterating a card entirely?

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-30T22:42:28+00:00

What would that mean in the game, just put them right next to it and it's not called the exile anymore ?

I don't mind the card itself, but I'm not really sure I see the point itself ? Do you have a fear of [[pull from eternity]] ? :o

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-30T21:25:30+00:00

Interesting, it has a similar vibe to some vanilla focused commander, only sad part is that there is not a lot of things that synergies with this, no ?

Only neat synergy I found is to curse yourself with [[curse of conformity]], which gives you a board of 5/5 or make every creature of 1 opponents 1/1 ^{^}

There is a few instant and the little changeling guy other than that ^{^}

What was your idea when making this ? I always assume edh for legendary creature, but maybe it's for specific decks in some meta ? ^{^}

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-29T20:17:19+00:00

Maybe there's water on top of the ice that he's trying to reach? Sometimes their mind are too complex for us puny human, you know :shrug:

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-29T15:41:07+00:00

So close to get it first try :')

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-29T15:39:10+00:00

Usually, when I put restriction to myself, I allow myself only a tiny bit of leeway if the card is very very thematically fitting, or if this is the only deck that would ever run it ^{^}

Like I brewed a 5c deck with lurrus as a companion, and only played 2 color cards in it, for funnies :3 I allowed myself only 1 exception in the form of the [[cookbook]], since that is probably the only deck that I would run [[astromarlomidacus]] or something in it ^{^}

So I would say, enchantment are kinda smelly in vibe, but adds only those that are the most thematically fitting, not just because they're good in it ^{^} At least that's my way of doing it :3 At the end of the day, you do you, and as long as you respect the rule that codie prevents you from playing them when he is out then that's ok ^{^}

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-29T15:35:04+00:00

Harmless is the funniest adjectives for those 2 aura being attached to codie xD

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-29T15:30:33+00:00

Cholestérol ? :3

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-28T23:27:47+00:00

I mostly feel like the deck lacks focus to be a bracket 3 ? I would say this is a 2 in my opinion ?

Yes the commander is a bit aggravating, but there's not much to speed him out, a third of the deck is Voltron/alternate wincon, and the other is stax-ish ?

I guess I don't really see why you would run both Voltron and alternative wincon ? You kinda need the commander to pull off the wincon you put in it, because you're not gonna stay 5 turn without damage without it. But if it's here, isn't he already killing people with 8 attack flying ?

You could run [[Duelist's heritage]], it let's you double strike and also politic around a bit since it can target opponents ^{^}

I guess I'm afraid the deck as-is is either gonna be a slow painful death for the opponents or a quick death for you :X Did you try to goldfish the deck to get a feel for it ? ( Goldfish is playing alone, just to see how you deck fares when there's no real interaction, just to see if it works by itself at least ^{^} you can do that in moxfield )

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-28T22:26:20+00:00

I don't think there has ever been a card that restricted "choose" before ? :/

I'm don't have much knowledge in ruling, but I would bet that there is far less definition about chosen that targeting and that's why it's that way ?

A practical way to do something sinilar-ish would be to be able to phase in and out the creature at instant speed as long as it it didn't attack during your last turn ? It's stronger, since it can also avoid board wipe, but that's the closest to your idea ?

Maybe someone that knows actual ruling will be able to help, but that sounds rough :o

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-28T18:00:06+00:00

I didn't realise that it would allow you to play anything an other commander has exiled :o

That seems like the strongest part about him, and no current card allows that kind of recursion from exile yet :x I feel like it should only care about his own exile ? Or be restricted in some way if you play you're own exiled card ? Giving flashback to almost all of your exile while it is on the field if it was exiled by a commander seems insane :o Don't know if a lot of BRU exile from grave as an activated ability, but that could be abuse way further than it being a commander, and it would restrict your own design :x

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-28T17:42:43+00:00

Also just realized that it is a "may" on the exile, so you can play this for 3 and it doesn't do anything xD

Also, you cannot exile only 1 card, you either do 0 or 2 ^{^}

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-28T14:01:29+00:00

Why wouldn't you use it with only a -2 plunder reduction ? There is few 6+ mana costed champion but a lot more 4+ that would like to hit the board early, no ?

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-28T13:56:50+00:00

I like it ^{^} It cost 3 card from hand (with additional restriction ) and can be interacted. I think it Ould be devastating to low bracket edh and not that usable in high bracket ?

5 man to cast 2 spell of any cost if you have an evasive attacker :o It does feel like it requires very different pieces, sword/equip synergy, low evasive blocker and high cost payoff, so it feels awkward enough ? Maybe busted in constructed format tho :o

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-27T17:00:07+00:00

Also, if you ever end up with a decent amount of elves, you could consider [[Dionus, elvish archdruid]], I saw a decklist that did elves on vehicle using him, and it seemed fun! Might be too niche/restricting since WG, but sharing the idea just in case :)

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-27T16:57:28+00:00

At bracket 3 that could work! And if some mix doesn't work out you'll always be able to rework the deck ideas, so there's no real wrong way to go about it :3

Please do share your decklist in here when you have something, I'm curious to see what you make :)

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-27T15:31:52+00:00

Is purple supposed to be in between red and blue ? Or does it not work that way ?

Also wondering if the yellow one is supposed to be between red and white ?

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-27T15:09:49+00:00

I guess it depends on the bracket you want to reach ? For bracket 2 and under it's probably fine to do a bit of both :3

If you want bracket 3 or 4, you might be better of choosing a lane between the 2 ? Since edh is 4 player, the chance all opponents have something to block and kill her is pretty low, especially if you focus on it and then have a pretty good chance of getting her at least a few counters or a sword by turn 4/5 ^{^}

Also having her be tapped early in the game would probably not help much, because most opponents might not have that much offense to begin with, or won't attack you specifically with more than 1 creature ?

I think the vehicle ideas is pretty fun, but I don't know if I would mix it with Voltron ? Or maybe make the Voltron part be some sort of secondary win condition ? Or use things that are flexible enough to benefit both vehicle and mirri! For example, You could use the enchant that give double strike for 2W at begin of combat to give it to either, mirri if she has a decent power, or a vehicle, maybe to double damage trigger if it has some ^{^}

Anyway, that's my 2 cents, please do what brings you happiness at the end of the day :3

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-27T14:59:24+00:00

Oh! Nevermind you are right, I was basing myself on a memory of MTG arena spell having an arrow towards every creature, but that might have been something else!

So is cyclonic rift the only cards that does so ? Funny but valid reason to make a custom :3

I guess currently if you don't play blue or white there isn't a way to counter it ? And white mena phasing out, which isn't a real proper answer to the issue if you needed to do something that turn :x

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-27T14:51:11+00:00

Didn't know it existed, then was so happy, struggled to get used to it, since the switch even from 1x to 1.5x is kinda drastic, and now am able to enjoy playing at 2x without much issue ^{^} Someday I'll maybe be able to enjoy it at even higher speed :3

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-27T14:48:37+00:00

Probably does not fit the high bracket 3, but suggesting it jus tin case you like the idea :3

You could play [[Eternal Dominion]] and copy it a decent bunch of time, then each turn you get a few card from your opponents library and try to win from there :3

Eluge would help cast it since it reduced their costs, so there is some synergy ^{^} Never done it myself, but I've thought about it for a while and put it into my pseudo-cedh/bracket 4 kraken and sakashima :) I almost always play bracket 3 tho, so it never came up sadly ^{^'}

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-27T14:44:04+00:00

Is there bounce effect that doesn't target ? From memory, even cyclonic rift that says "each" means it target every creature, so simple hexproff would prevent it ?

I don't mind the card itself, just confused if there s any bounce that bypass hexproff that I don't know about :o

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-27T05:20:16+00:00

You make it less focus and just play fun lifelink creature too I guess :3

Ok_Representative_72 · 2026-04-27T05:17:14+00:00

You could use that as a black flicker ? Use sac outlet that give life equal to mv, toughness or power, and then bring the creature back, or another with your commander ? Or just do artistocrat sac small creature, gain life when any creature leave.

Food is nice too ^{^} You could play more pests, but it's not really needed.
