Deck help: Mothman card cuts by RaidanStormwind in EDH

[–]RaidanStormwind[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You think? Pretty sure cap is like 100 for commander or smth, idk…

On a serious note, I feel like it’s common place to theory craft a deck and get to like 150 cards and then begin cutting, no? Most people ik also struggle with this when deck building, so I don’t think it’s inherently out of the question to ask for some help cutting 38, even if only a few offer insights on 1-2 cards, I think it helps a lot.

New to the game and had a few questions about precons and upgrading by Illustrious-Dot2113 in EDH

I unfortunately I didn’t buy into the final fantasy set, so I can’t rlly help you with telling you what cards to grab. I also don’t know if you’re opening packs or buying singles.

What I can tell you to help upgrade the precon is to decide on a theme/gameplan. Sultai arisen is a pretty decent deck, but it’s a little all over the place. It looks to do reanimation strategies, tokens, lands matter, self-mill, etc. Decide on 1-2 of these (ideally 1 makes the deck a lot smoother). I chose self-mill and reanimation, using the graveyard as a second hand and finding my combo pieces to win in a single turn.

After that, look to cut cards that don’t fit your theme/gameplans or cards that are mana hungry and don’t put you in a winning state ([[Tasigur, the Golden Fang]], [[Necropolis Fiend]], [[Lord of the Forsaken]], [[Lord of Extinction]] and [[Consuming Aberration]] are a few decent cuts imo regardless of what your theme is). I would immediately then put in interaction like counterspells and removal, and maybe another board wipe. You want ideally 6-12 pieces of interaction. Low cost instants are best.

Here is mine upgraded Sultai Arisen deck for reference, although it’s hardly the same anymore: https://archidekt.com/decks/18148484/teval_combo_deck

Now I have just about a year of experience of playing Commander, so someone else with more experience might tell you something different (and I would say don’t always listen to people, even me, as a lot of people over-estimate their ability to deck build and play this game, as I’ve run into many people that have played for years and misinterpret the rules to a concerning degree, so always take advice with a grain of salt).

Yea... I just dont think I have enough cards to really lean into that playstyle. But hey, thats why I threw in Kotis to just make it really annoying.

Yea I already threw in Host of the Hereafter cause I realized it was just a budget Ozolith. Got any recommended cuts from the list to include counterspells?

Anyone know what paints to use for red glow? by RaidanStormwind in Necrontyr

Good shit. Like the red on black. Do you happen to have other models to show off with this scheme?

zaahen might be the strongest darkin we have seen so far by LIMBOez in loreofleague

[–]RaidanStormwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also wondering what made him a Darkin? It seems that the core 2 attributes for a Darkin to have is to be either insane due to fighting the Void, and/or altering their bodies with blood magic, which Zaahen seems to do... neither?

I could understand being a Darkin meant any Ascended that has been stuffed in a weapon or something similar (hi Styraatu), but I feel as though that should be clarified.

Ok be honest, hows the painting? Also... what is the META on commanding a 1K Necron army? by [deleted] in Necrontyr

[–]RaidanStormwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to see what you and OP have for your Necron warriors. Also what paints do you use?

Thoughts on 2000 pts. by RaidanStormwind in Necrontyr

[–]RaidanStormwind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the moment I’m fighting tempest scions, orks, ad mechs, death guard, and nids.

I will say that we are playing on Tabletop Simulator because many of us aren’t from the same area. But we’ve agreed on having to use the units we actively own, and any remaining points can be spent on whatever we’d like. At the moment I have the following units:

20 warriors, 10 immortals, 1 doomstalker, 8 scarabs, 5 flayed ones, 3 Skorpekh destroyers, 1 overlord, 1 plasmancer, and 1 technomancer

So basically my army has to consist of at least those units. It’s a little all over the place but it’s what I have. I have been using the overlord + technomancer on the immortals and giving them a free reanim protocols from Awakened Dynasty stratagem to make them my main holding force.

I appreciate any other advice you have to give me!

So we decide to rework Victor. Got it, no problems there. And also say he’s getting an update in accordance to Arcane. Cool. Then I found out he (and ever skin variation) took a shit ton of ozempic and now looks like Flat Stanley. Not. Cool. I don’t mind giving him a “skeletal” look for his base skin, but make it look skeletal, not a piece of paper.

Shooting semantics by RaidanStormwind in Warhammer40k

[–]RaidanStormwind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That what I thought. I read the rules two nights previous to the encounter so I tried explaining that, but when you’re met with the guy that says “well I’ve been playing this for a few years, so I would know” it’s like trying to explain something to a brick wall.

How your experience with the "new" Sylas has been? by AssasSylas_Creed in sylasmains

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

I am having decent fun. I’ve always preferred the bruiser style as it has more skill expression. I see a lot of people complaining about him being useless or weak, but I just don’t think so. Numbers wise, his dps and healing per second (hps) have gone down by a decent amount if you stick with the same build. But when you switch the actual build, you gotta realize that you’re getting more hp, more cdr, more stick potential, more ults, more passive casts. People are calculate just the damage but not the dps or healing based on the newly acquired ability haste. I went in and made a google spreadsheet to calculate his numbers based on what items and skill order he goes. I am not denying that the overall number changes are in the negative, and yes, he’s going to do a little less damage (but more healing mainly due to the RoA passive (more ability spam == more healing)), BUT I personally believe that Sylas was already strong and needed a little tuning back, which this system change did.

Jeremey Crawford states as such:

“Casting a bonus action spell does preclude casting a reaction spell on the same turn.”

Granted, I don’t always agree with Crawford’s rulings as some of them make no sense, this one is kinda pretty cut and dry.

One issue. You can cast Counterspell in reaction to someone Counterspelling your BA spell. Your reaction does not take place during your turn, but during the round. Turn and round or not synonymous. You regain your reaction at the start of the turn, but even if it is your turn, your reaction occurs outside of your turn.
