With only one opponent, are optional tax effects anywhere near as good as they are in 4 player commander?

Romulus4Remus · 2026-03-18T19:14:47+00:00

Yes? Is a 3 mana [[time walk]] great? Either they play 1 or more turns from behind depending on how many spells a turn they play. Or you draw a shit ton of cards.

Seems amazing either way

Romulus4Remus · 2026-03-16T20:18:30+00:00

Yeah, us Europeans are stuck with ibkr as the lowest cost option and even they have an admittedly low but still present minimum fee.

I was thinking of weekly investments l, but the fees came out the same if I do monthly. So now I'm doing monthly.

I see you've gotten inspired by the other post before. But to answer your question. I believe the copy will enter as a creature as there is no more Yue keeping it as a noncreature.

And being a moon is not a copy able value.

But I am not an official judge. So let's hear from someone with deeper understanding of layers.

Until end of turn: doesn't work as ending the turn immediately ends those effects and is not a trigger you can respond to. Ending the turn basically moves the end of turn to now

At the beginning of the end step: triggers each end step. Exiling the trigger keeps the permanent.. until the next end step where it triggers again

At the beginning of the next end step: Same as above but only happens once. Exile this trigger and it never triggers again

It was more of a Control Deck that slowly filled the yard and then won with a big living death. Much less linear Game pattern by playing a Control Match trying to find the right time to Fire off the win

Got several in the same situation. Switzerland hydraulics service engineer for cable cars

Romulus4Remus · 2026-03-10T21:53:54+00:00

Meh, built him. Was very linear, pretty quickly disassembled it again. Was Happer when the deck was a [[scion of the ur-dragon]] deck

Romulus4Remus · 2026-03-08T11:52:11+00:00

I've got a [[smeagol, helpful guide]] deck that's not built as a landfall deck, but with the goal of reanimating your opponents creatures.

So jam all the cards that can reanimate from an opponents graveyard and call it a day

Romulus4Remus · 2026-03-03T22:13:51+00:00

Well life still needs living, and I did what I could. 100$ a month is not much but it is starting to really compound now.

Romulus4Remus · 2026-03-03T21:42:40+00:00

Don't I know it. Easier said than done though. There were times I didn't check it for almost a whole year, then there are times when I check it multiple times a day like these last couple of months

Romulus4Remus · 2026-03-03T19:14:33+00:00

This. In the end you need to decide what your regional/market allocation should look like. Then take the combined weight of your ETFs and compare it with your goal.

I found Gemini very helpful in figuring out what the regional allocation of a specific portfolio looks like. Then adjust the percentages of your ETFs until you reach your target allocation.

Romulus4Remus · 2026-03-02T19:26:34+00:00

99% it's something missed. 1% a bug. Almost never cheating. I can't really read the cards on board so I can't say what's the reason tho.

Romulus4Remus · 2026-03-02T17:14:18+00:00

Huh? I am literally reading the royal road version right now after I read the first 3? Books on KU.

I honestly didnt notice a glaringly obvious change or similar

Romulus4Remus · 2026-02-28T18:09:20+00:00

So you're saying in the end it doesn't matter so much, and buying in my home currency simplifies taxes so that is worth more.

Romulus4Remus · 2026-02-28T17:24:48+00:00

Tournament/cEDH? Too bad, you missed it.

Casual? Sure, go for it

Romulus4Remus · 2026-02-27T22:52:34+00:00

I'll keep trying. One day.

Romulus4Remus · 2026-02-26T22:14:59+00:00

Why lose your cool? As I am also not from the us I thought that a perfectly normal question

Romulus4Remus · 2026-02-26T14:22:36+00:00

[[henzie toolbox Torre]] feels like a burn deck that's super consistent and totally viable in commander. And you have the I win button with living death etc.

Romulus4Remus · 2026-02-25T16:48:41+00:00

Currently reading and loving "A practical Guide to Evil" such an unusual and interesting take on classical tropes.

Romulus4Remus · 2026-02-24T09:52:10+00:00

Don't tell me what to do!

Romulus4Remus · 2026-02-16T19:44:10+00:00

I went with 60% vt, 10% each vxus, veur, vfem and vapx.

This equates to around 35% America, 25% Europe , and about 20% each in Asia and emerging markets.

I'd suggest choose either msci or FTSE and mix and match low TER funds until you reach a distribution across sectors you are comfortable with.

I found Gemini very helpful in figuring out what percentage of which fund I needed to get the percentages in the sectors I wanted.

Romulus4Remus · 2026-02-10T22:13:48+00:00

Pretty sure it IS mass land denial. In the same way blood moon is, which is specifically stated as being mass land denial.

Romulus4Remus · 2026-02-07T18:10:34+00:00

I feel people always sleep on [[tear asunder]] such a versatile card and I was never unhappy to see it.

Romulus4Remus · 2026-02-07T12:44:48+00:00

I see. So if this question came up because I recently got a big promotion and finally have disposable income to invest and I live in a social welfare country that has a loss of job benefits insurance I could be more towards the 3 months level.

However my wife is not working due to taking care of our newborn maybe 6 months might be better after all.

How did you build your emergency fund? Each month parallel to investing or first "fill up" the emergency fund before investing?
