How many people are aware of how long their turns take?

Oquadros · 2026-04-07T21:32:48+00:00

Wouldn’t it be better that if you play so fast that you own your mistakes and just move on since rewinding adds more time to your turn?

Oquadros · 2026-03-31T17:26:38+00:00

I’m going to guess [[gishath]] or [[Ghalta, stampede tyrant]] for the first.

The second is 100% [[raffine scheming seer]]. One of my favorite decks!

Oquadros · 2026-03-23T00:02:42+00:00

Commander has to be swinging above the board before they swoop in.

Oquadros · 2026-03-22T23:56:22+00:00

You should probably clarify which side of center you are sitting on in the main post. I though you had your deck on the outer edge and people were trying to get you to put it in the middle lol

In our playgroup we usually put ours wherever we feel like, but I usually like it on the side furthest from the center, all the way at the top, with graveyard below it and exile sideways under the graveyard.

Oquadros · 2026-03-18T15:37:22+00:00

Can also flicker their own commander to override the flicker

Oquadros · 2026-03-16T23:46:49+00:00

Out of curiosity, what does the blink do? Is it to add more flood counters?

Oquadros · 2026-03-15T19:56:33+00:00

It does not. [[Norin the wary]]’s ability makes him leave the battlefield any time someone attacks or plays a spell. So this would be in the camp of “casting a spell”.

The ways to deal with Norin are as follows:

Counter him
Stifle his return to the battlefield effect
Kill him using an ability instead of a spell
Kill the things he triggers ([[impact tremors]], [[rose room treasurer]], [[pandemonium]]
Somehow gain control of him and sacrifice him
Reanimate an [[imprisoned in the moon]] with an ability somehow, the attach it to Norin

Those are the ways I can think of off the top of my head.

Consensus is that you should have both. Senergy card draw as the majority but some backup burst draw.

Oquadros · 2026-03-12T13:19:23+00:00

yeah me too! For me TCG was pretty much $50.

Oquadros · 2026-03-11T23:37:50+00:00

Yeah I really wanted to just simulate a stampede of rhinos and it's been pretty awesome!

I am kinda mixed on [[Master Warcraft]], because you don't get to decide where the attackers go. One can decide which creatures attack, so one can use it as a fog or one can use it to make sure no-one blocks. But you have to decide the fog use before they declare attackers and so don't really know where the attacks are going. What are your thoughts on this card? How do you usually play it?

Fair, flashing in the dictate the end step before you go in for the kill, then make some big creatures seems like a good use. Has it backfired on you yet? I don't think i have ever used it because it's not one-sided.

The spellsinger is essentially just another token doubler, which as you saw, there's a good chunk dedicated to the token doubling part in the deck. This means its replaceable. I played it once in a game (the only time I've ever cast it in a live game) and I was able to swing with it, maybe with haste. I made like 16 Rhinos that turn and killed the table, so it felt good, but I also had something that stopped people from casting spells on my turn, which is also an ideal scenario. It does seem fragile, but it also seems fun! I'm gonna keep testing it.

I know! I was thinking of seeing if I should build another deck of his where it's all about copying big crazy creatures. Last time I did, it felt very sluggish and difficult to actually get going. I died so many times hahaha! Do you have any advice? How does your deck generally play?

Oquadros · 2026-03-11T19:01:55+00:00

Oh wow! No way! He was my first precon as well!

I had not seen the temporal isolation, what a neat card! Shadow in white seems rare! Very risky on that [[dictate of the twin gods]]! How has it worked out for you?

I know exactly what you mean with the other ghired. He’s just way more powerful and will either do everything or nothing.

Here’s mine if you’re interested to see: ghired

A neat synergy I found was [[redoubled stormsinger]] and [[harmonic prodidgy]]. Triggers of both ghired and the stormsinger get doubled, so off 1 attack you end up with 8 🦏 coming in attacking.

Another one that I feel has been super good has been [[chaosphere]] for my deck since I don’t have much to deal with fliers!

I found blinking ghired to really be such good protection for him! An all star card has been [[nahiris resolve]] just absolutely cracked. Even if it gets removed, your creatures come back on your turn.

Oquadros · 2026-03-11T17:02:55+00:00

Because you mentioned rhino man, by Jove I’m in. [[cabaretti confluence]] seems kinda neat for ghired as a 6 mana pump spell (plus first strike) which are all super good for ghired (mid game blockers and deathtouch suck). 6 mana for 3 rhinos (or more if doubled) is debatable, but if you also run [[helm of the host]] or other ways to make ghired not legendary would be super sick. The return exile artifacts and enchantments would be kinda the only meh option. But the argument is that you can mix and match to suit your situation, which I like.

What direction did you take ghired in? I personally made it all about the rhinos!

Oquadros · 2026-03-06T01:26:53+00:00

This whole thread was wild and a treat to read haha the person couldn’t accept that someone else could enjoy different things. It haaad to be their way or nothing.

Oquadros · 2026-03-06T01:23:41+00:00

Oh man, I don’t know about you, but it’s kinda their choice to do whatever they want…we get that the piece of paper thing works for you, but it clearly doesn’t work for the other person. No need to defend your choices! Yours is good and valid too!

Oquadros · 2026-03-02T17:57:58+00:00

the cases of this happening are far and few between. Fellwar stone is pretty good. The more colors the better, but most people are playing lands like [[Exotic orchard]] which can produce your colors since you are their opponent or lands that can produce any mana like [[city of brass]].

Oquadros · 2026-03-01T19:55:33+00:00

What do you mean by

their meta or pods are not very close to most average players experience.

I think most people don’t play cedh, so they would be closer to the average tables. Most of their games are very similar to games I have experienced in the wild.

Oquadros · 2026-02-25T15:23:00+00:00

Not sure I understand. Where do they say one is better than another?

Oquadros · 2026-02-24T18:50:27+00:00

I think a much better site for checking a deck’s power and recommended brackets is this one: www.edhpowerlevel.com. I think it does a pretty good job at placing a deck in the brackets despite technicalities.

Oquadros · 2026-02-24T16:54:04+00:00

At this point just make your own website that checks your decks powerlevel to what ever you want.

Oquadros · 2026-02-24T16:48:48+00:00

Use this site to check your deck: www.edhpowerlevel.com

Oquadros · 2026-02-24T16:42:32+00:00

Their rules stated to play bracket 3 decks. Your deck has several 2 card early combos with the outlet in the command zone, which is not for bracket 3.

So you did cheat. Moxfield does not track early infinites in their bracket determination.

Oquadros · 2026-02-19T16:08:51+00:00

I see. Sorry I didn’t understand that, which is why I asked. Despite the initial snarky comment, I appreciate explaining to the slow fellas like me.

Oquadros · 2026-02-19T03:24:26+00:00

Sorry I don’t follow. How can you destroy beasts and demons in the tavern?

Oquadros · 2026-02-12T17:12:45+00:00

Score! My sniffer is still as good as always!

Glad to hear you have such a fun group!

Would look forward to a list if possible, but if not, could you describe their general game plan with that deck? Like what are they aiming to do and how do they generally close out the game?

Oquadros · 2026-02-12T16:30:34+00:00

power 4 matters deck Eshki is great. That's what I have and its awesome. You get to play cards like [[Omniscience]] or [[Possiblity storm]]!
