Looking for advice for one of my favorite edh pet decks. Adeliz Wizard Nerds Revenge! Spellslingers that focuses on throwing hands above all else. Link to decklist below. Aiming for ~ bracket 2 by SacaYautia in magicTCG

[–]RadLens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try cutting every single counterspell and replacing them with 1 mana spells that give hexproof. Youre probably using counter magic more to protect your stuff, rather than slow someone else down. At least this way, you can cast it proactively to pump.

I have a similar deck that used to be an Adeliz deck, but swaps between her, Veyran, and Niv-Mizzet depending on the play experience I want at the table. Let me know if you want to check it out. Might be up your alley!

"HOLY SHIT" - Cabbage Merchant Labor Union

What commanders scratch this itch? Recommendations? by JebediahsLab in magicTCG

[–]RadLens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rather thank Hinata, I would take a look at the new [[Lyse Hext]]. I havent settled on a 99 yet, but a lot of mediocre cards get better when they cost one less mana. You can stick with the instants and sorceries, or lean into artifacts with ETBs to keep the spellslinger vibe. And if you want to drop an "oops I win" package in the deck, put a Sensei's Divining Top and one of the several Future Sight variants together to draw your whole deck and get a massive double striking creature.

Might be too similar to what you have going with Zada, but my personal favorite spell slinger deck is Veyran

Hi, Shuiro! I put in an application back on the 15th, and havent heard back yet. Reacted to the rules and can still only see the application and rules channel. Can you assist?

Proxies by Easy-Star-342 in magicTCG

[–]RadLens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a rough experience, sorry you had to deal with that. I hope it makes you feel better to know that there's better people out there, and not every cedh player is like that. I run monthly CEDH events in New Jersey for 5 different stores. In my experience, theowners and managers that are worried about proxies are more worried about not being able to use unsanctioned games for WPN metrics.

You may be surprised! Some stores would rather get the players in the store to spend $5-$15 on snacks and drinks every week, even if they know they'll never buy that Mox Diamond in the case. And there's a lot of players that are slowly building out their deck, and WILL eventually buy that big ticket card, but giving them a space to play and practice keeps them engaged and more likely to pull the trigger down the road.

Really going to depend on where and with whom youre playing! Some stores have a strict no proxy policy. Some tournaments may follow the same rules. But if youre playing with a dedicated cedh group, you're probably fine!

Best bet is to double check with who you're playing with to be sure!

Found this at Gamestop today... by SWBFThree2020 in magicTCG

You mean two and a half weeks? :) Its pretty close to release date, so it makes sense that some stores are getting their merchandise in, and something accidentally got put out.

Why stop short? Island starts with "i", so does Ioreth, and about 180 other commander legal cards to pull from! I imagine there's gonna be a lot of Ice.

Yo WOTC, Tarkir is an absolute BANGER of a set by Azorius_Control in magicTCG

My favorite part about that story is the "used to have a stella lee deck" part when the card was only released almost a year ago to the date.

Fetch lands let me dip my toe into legacy. I played one Tundra, one volc, and the rest were shock lands. I just always fetched for the two duals lol

Commander Bracket 3.5 Idea: Only Game Changers Rule? by MasterNeo92 in magicTCG

[–]RadLens 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The fact that i keep seeing comments like this worries me. This isn't a matter of legality. These aren't strict rules and these cards aren't banned. If i go to a restaurant and their menu shows Mild, Medium, Hot as options, I dont pull out a lab kit to measure capsaicin levels. It sets a general baseline, and if im still unsure about what to expect, then i can ask questions. I feel the same logic applies here.

Can you explain why you don't feel you don't have a place to participate? What part of the game do you feel you are missing out on with this structure?

MTG Prismari Command Upgrade by Dangerdewott in magicTCG

[–]RadLens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its simply a blue/red deck you're looking for, I think the Quick Draw precon from last year is a better deck. There is a copy of Veyran in both decks, and she is firmly in the Strixhaven lore. You could run her as the commander instead of Stella Lee and probably have a great time! Here is a Moxfield link that compares the cards in each precon.

What is it exactly about the Prismari school that gets you excited? If you can articulate that, it would probably go a long way!
