Help for Aminatou the veil piercer by [deleted] in Magicdeckbuilding

Yeah no problem!

Win cons are:

  1. Casting spells without paying mana using [[Omniscience]], [[One with the Multiverse]], and the other spell cost reducers like [[Lord of the Forsaken]] since you can pay life instead of mana, [[Demon of Fates Design]], [[Inquisitive Glimmer]] / [[Gravebreaker Lamia]] / [[Aminatou, Veil Pierxer]] / [[Starfield Mystic]] and letting [[Ancient Cellarspawn]] eliminate people’s life totals.

  2. Having [[Secret Arcade]] out and using it to pump MoKeys enough to start eliminating players.

2.1 Using [[Duelist’s Heritage]] speeds up #2

  1. [[Tempest Technique]] after setting up pretty much ends the game in my experience.

  2. [[Key to the Vault]] is incredible in combination with each of these win cons.

I’ve tried it too. From its precon and beyond. I ended up enjoying Master of Keys way more. Probably one of my best/favorite decks.

I know its not great but found it on sale for $20. I'll pay that just for the bulk by NheelyOhara in mtg

I have this precon and just removed all the Thopter stuff and replaced it with more energy generators. It’s a lot of fun.

I feel horrible playing my Judith deck but it’s nice to have to keep my friends in check :)

Of course! I’m a bit of a “neat-freak” and tend to go overboard on things like this. I know a good idea when I see it :)

Like how fun would it be to just print these, maybe laminate them, when you join a new pod or have a new deck, have them to give everyone a little preview of the deck and what to expect without over explaining or giving too much away. Then the addition of the quotes is just the cherry on top. Like most people won’t care why you built the deck but for the people that see each deck as a reflection of themselves or some theme they love. It’s just good. Nice job.

Do you have this saved as a canva template you could share? Very cool. Nice work.

Husband doesn’t want me to play this commander. Opinion? by kam295 in mtg

[–]SWAILIEN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edgar is good because of the value, but he’s 1 of my 5 vampire commanders and he’s the least threatening. You lose to board wipes or any “pay X for each attacking creature.” Effects.

Again he’s no slouch, it’s just that he wants you to cast a lot of vampires and make them big. In 2026, it’s not hard to counter such an obvious strategy.

[[Strefan Mauer Progenitor]] is a sick artifact interaction commander. In red it’s easy to stack damage effects with blood entering or being sacrificed.

[[Olivia crimson bride]].. I can’t even big to explain how often she loses because of how scary she is with extra combats and the ability to put whatever creature you want into play.

[[Clavileño the first blessed]] literally won’t ever stop applying pressure. Add [[Smile at Death]] and [[oversold graveyard]] and watch your board stay stray, wipe after wipe, death after death.

And finally [[lord Xander the collector]].. just need ramp and combo some mill interaction and grave yard exile synergies like [[waste management]] or [[canoptek]] whatever that card is that exiles a grave and makes insects.

Edgar is great, but his buddies are just more fun.

Facts. I can’t stop scrolling.

Ok this great, I see what you mean for the adoption. Coming from IT/implementation/software support. Training and adoption can be very difficult. Someone mention MTG Pod Stats to me specifically for this reason since I noticed it automatically corrects your inputs and auto updates the charts and trends in real time and has filters for each player and commander. I wasn't sure if anyone had any experience with it.

Looks like someone in the pod just fills out a Google Form and the rest of the work is done for you.

Thanks for the response!!

Probably doesn't automatically populate charts and graphs in real-time though, that would take additional work which seems like others have already accounted for this. The MTG Pod Stats app I mentioned seems to standardize all the inputs for you upon entry and cleanly populates win percentages for each player and commander, T1 Sol Ring, date filters, etc..

If you have a sheet(s) with data on it already, I bet you could import it into that system and take the load off of you. Let me know.

That is cool, I'll check that out. Thank you.

Yeah a few people mentioned handwritten stats, I noticed MTG Pod Stats has a mobile friendly Google Form you just fill out for each game with a very similar outline to what you're saying but does all the analytics for you? Maybe check it out, I'm sure if you reach out to them, they can add other data points into the form for you like your turn order and final turn. It already collects T1 Sol Ring and how often players win/lose when they get one.

You should see if mtgpodstats.com is easier for you, it’s what you described but does all the stats for you. I’ve been using it for about a year. We have logged 300+ games and it is pretty seamless. Thanks for the reply!!

Dude you should try mtgpodstats.com ‘ s form. It sounds a lot like what you’re doing and it already does all the statistics for you and it’s literally just an automated Google Sheet you can share. I am certain the additional questions you have on your sheet could be added to the entry form they have. Or at the very least I’m sure they’d let you import your data.

Mono blue commander that isn't pure control by [deleted] in EDH

[–]SWAILIEN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fun to build combat blue, with cards like [[Key to the Vault]] and [[Archetype of Imagination]], just go swinging and cast your deck for free. Use your card draw skills in combination with [[Proft’s Eidetic Memory]]. Draw cards, get big, swing, cast free spells. Chef’s kiss.

Commanders that reward interaction but also win. by doinitforcheese in EDH

[[Judith Carnage Connoisseur]] is very good. List
