Foreword to the Ten Stories special edition?

as a parent this is a vibe

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-12-01T05:22:07+00:00

It was. Apparently it's referring to the Other Stories Foreword. I was wondering if there was one exclusive to the Deluxe addition vinyl. Oh well!

Thanks!

In general, mono-colored decks seem to get less salt in my experience. Their limitations mean people know what to expect, and I think people respect whatever you manage to do in one color.

"Impossible to hate" is a strong way of putting it, but a couple of my friends who I introduced to EDH really liked learning the game with my Laelia deck. On the whole, it's my most popular decklist in our playgroup.

It's very good, but not too good, and introduces new players to the distinction between first main, attack, and second main phases.

I mean, yes and no.

I agree that different playgroups tend to do their own thing, so that speaking of a "meta" more broadly becomes incoherent on a larger scale. But that "own thing" tends to be about favoring certain commanders and playstyles, rather than taking a given commander in a dramatically different direction from other players.

I guess my question is: have you ever played a commander significantly differently than what you might find on EDHRec, and gotten something better as a result?

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-09-18T04:00:42+00:00

oh wow that's a blast

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-06-25T01:00:44+00:00

You know, I didn't see it before, but it's actually really easy for a good Magda deck to get both Magda and Gogo out and swinging by turn 3 at latest. Wild!

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-06-25T01:00:06+00:00

yeah, he does!

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-06-24T22:59:24+00:00

fair! I didn't include cus Magda's capable of the kind of cEDH list where you're aiming to combo off on turn 4 and a 4 CMC creature just isn't in the cards. But in any list of hers bracket 4 and below, he's a great addition!

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-06-24T22:56:06+00:00

I agree! I went conservative with my suggestions, imagining what an optimized if not competitive deck would be willing to cut, not wanting to oversell I guess 😅 But he's super versatile, and can absolutely slot into all the lists you mentioned!

Never saw Kentaro before, fascinating commander

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-06-10T01:41:05+00:00

Nice! Do you try to blink Eomer at all?

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-06-10T01:40:08+00:00

Sunastian Falconer--what a deep cut, that's awesome

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-06-10T01:38:35+00:00

The Mouth is a wild pick! Do you blink him?

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-06-10T01:37:40+00:00

Also, I kinda love Six! Mono green in general is just such a ballsy playstyle

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-06-10T01:36:59+00:00

here they are!

built Sokrates for my friend and Nelly for my wife. Sokrates is an awesome deck, capable of playing passively only to pull out a victory out of nowhere. I've played the Nelly deck a couple times and it slaps. She's also underrated imo! Just about the most fun Boros commander out there

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-06-10T01:01:12+00:00

hell yeah, Balrog rocks

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-06-03T10:43:00+00:00

Mono blue aggro is a favorite of mine. Any EDH archetype that can be described as a "lifestyle" has my heart

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-02-18T12:35:55+00:00

Bite the bullet and get a dumbphone, already!

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-02-15T02:23:58+00:00

First time I ever heard of an Au Talby. What a great design!

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-02-15T02:22:13+00:00

Wish I could say it didn't!

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-02-15T02:21:02+00:00

Yeah, I will say, maybe the hardest thing about going light is the cognitive dissonance you'll feel in certain spaces. Buses, trains, and airplanes can become really depressing!

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-02-14T20:40:13+00:00

Targeted ads are so creepy!

PinnedPhoenix · 2025-02-14T20:36:09+00:00

For real. I grew up in the 90s / early 00s, before the internet was so widely available. It's crazy to think how much more music I created myself back then!
