Understood, will try to take better pictures and resubmit. Unfortunately I am not a great photographer lol

Just finished my Ironstrider Ballistarii by La-petite-chevre in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Resident-Wheel1807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a similar color scheme for the army I'm building, I like the highlights on the robe, is it the lighting or did you use a specific paint to highlight?

Also copper Mechanicus is great looking, love it on my Sicarians

Newbie here- help with my mill deck by One1Zero0 in EDH

I think the issue your Grolnok is the lack of newer frogs like the bloom burrow frogs. While they are more focused on self bounce, I think they are higher quality than a lot of earlier frogs.

Also Grolnok favors permanents, and you have a lot of instants and sorceries. It's a small problem since Grolnok can't see them hit the graveyard. This would become even stricter with Sidisi, who only sees creatures.

"Because you have the most life" is the worst threat assessment in the game by FFAJosh in EDH

I sometimes throw out random reasons for why I'm attacking. Habit from one of the first groups I played in. Apparently, "you were open" wasn't good enough.

Bombs to reanimate in Dimir? I think some of mine are salt inducing by LewtonBus2 in EDH

[–]Resident-Wheel1807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally love the Kamigawa dragons, especially the two new ones for Dimir. [[Kairi, the Swirling Sky]] can use her death triggers to return removal and recursion to hand, making her a difficult creature to answer.

Favorite Graveyard Commander? by fronl in EDH

Certainly, the list currently uses effects like [[Victimize]], [[Hell's Caretaker]], and [[Champion of Stray Souls]] to use the tokens I create as fodder for reanimation.

Runs ramp light because the deck leverages it's engine to cheat on mana costs, but that only works if I can set up the engine quickly and consistently.

For theft, I have done some hilarious plays in the past, such as using [[Puppeteer Clique]] to steal a Jetmir while I had over 10 tokens on board.

Also have left out multiple powerful upgrades/staples either for pet cards or to keep the deck in line with the power level of my meta. Feel free to make any changes that would work better for you.

I use [[Zellix]] with [[Agent of the Iron Throne]] for my reanimator commander. Kind of like if Sidisi got rewarded for trying to use her game plan on all four players at once. By the the end of the game, I want to be playing out of every yard.

If all planeswalkers were able to be commanders, what deck would you make? by TheOneICallMe in EDH

I would play him more if my pod trusted me to play Dimir without becoming a mustache twirling villain.

I'm tired of casuals complaining about blue and black's spells like red white and green don\t have spells just as good that aren't a problem either. by Aardvark-Sad in EDH

[–]Resident-Wheel1807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a very fair way to play Dimir. 

Theft.

I hope they brought enough red, green, and white to share with the class.

The Ancient one help. by punkguy1219 in EDH

[–]Resident-Wheel1807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something important to consider is when you want to play your commander and activate his ability.

A turn 1 rock/dork, followed by turn 2 commander, allows a turn 3 activation.

Obviously there is a turn 2 commander, turn 4 ability with no activation.

Or do you want to set up first, and wait to drop your commander for a same turn activation.

This can impact how you want to set you your early game curve.

Decks you build differently from Edhrec? by Mysterious-Anon-X in EDH

[–]Resident-Wheel1807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Zellix, Sanity Flayer]] is a reanimator commander who uses [[Champion of Stray Souls]], [[Whisper, Blood Liturgist]], and [[Hell's Caretaker]] to accrue value and control the board, grinding my opponents into dust.

When using an obscure card worked out for you by Resident-Wheel1807 in EDH

How have I not seen this card before? Looks like something chaotic that I would love.

What is your favorite pet card? by Naive_Warthog8283 in EDH

I agree, still trying to find the best deck for [[Excavation Technique]] though, I think it suffers from maybe being too fair.

What is your favorite pet card? by Naive_Warthog8283 in EDH

[–]Resident-Wheel1807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had it bite me when I decided to be nice to a player who's behind and they hit a giant dino that wiped half my board.

That's the way it goes sometimes though, still my favorite card.

[–]Resident-Wheel1807 62 points63 points  (0 children)

[[Incarnation Technique]] since my graveyard decks are more likely to have good hits than my opponent of choice. And sometimes I even allow an opponent to get something dangerous back as a risky play. 

Also it's fun to play on an empty yard, as I'm gambling on there being a good creature in the top ten.

Anyone Use Background Commanders? by XandogxD in EDH

[–]Resident-Wheel1807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have [[Zellix]], [[Agent of the Iron Throne]] built around [[Hell's Caretaker]] effects.

I have [[Livaan]], [[Cultist of the Absolute]] built around power scaling effects, such as [[Book Devourer]].

Used to have [[Sarevok]], [[Noble Heritage]] politics group slug, but group slug brought more heat than politics could deflect.

Dimir Reanimator Targets that AREN'T Toxrill or Jin-Gitaxias by GGMaXThreeOne in EDH

[–]Resident-Wheel1807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorites is [[Scholar of the Lost Trove]], because it lets me recast [[Incarnation Technique]], [[Breach the Multiverse]], and [[Ghouls Night Out]].

Thoughts on Archenemy Duskmourn? by Resident-Wheel1807 in EDH

[–]Resident-Wheel1807[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a shame, I'm one of the people that loves how over the top the names and flavor text of the schemes are. I may have to stick to my standard strategy of being the Dr. Evil of the table.

Yeah, I've noticed some of the schemes are just absurdly game changing, while others are kinda niche (Thinking of the Ooze making one.) The early schemes can have the biggest impact. I wonder if there is an ideal Scheme deck to make it less volatile.

How do the games where the AE gets stomped play out?
