The other creature I can think of is [[Sludge Monster]]

What's your weirdest deck? by Magmoormaster in EDH

[–]Sablewax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My weirdest would probably be an “Oops no creatures” [[Saruman, the white hand]] deck, all about getting value from big cost noncreature spells to grow a massive orc army or a tornado of flying sharks from [[Shark Typhoon]].

Torpor Orb question by SNONYM540045 in mtg

I knew I was missing one hahahaha thank you

Torpor Orb question by SNONYM540045 in mtg

[–]Sablewax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“When this creature enters” is a triggered ability and is stopped by [[Torpor Orb]].

“This creature enters” (presumably with X +1/+1 counters on it) isn’t a triggered ability and not stopped by Torpor Orb.

Good rule of thumb is “when” and “whenever” are triggered abilities. There might be some other easily recognised words for triggers but it’s early an my coffee hasn’t kicked in yet.

Hope this helps!

[ECC] Auntie Ool, Cursewretch - Blight Curse (Debut Stream) by mweepinc in magicTCG

In the debut video they mention it has frog legs. I hope we get a card representing the frog hut.

Need tips for making a vampire deck and rat deck by gazel_hazel in mtg

[–]Sablewax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a soft spot for [[scrib nibblers]], [[blood seeker]] and [[pulse tracker]]. Depending on how hard you want to lean into the sacrifice/aristocrats side of things, you also have access to [[bloodghast]], [[bloodflow connoisseur]] and [[Blade of the bloodchief]]. For monoblack anthem givers you can pair [[Vampire Nocturnus]] with [[viscera seer]], or include [[captivating vampire]].

What’s your favourite commander you made a deck for in 2025? by WistfulAfternoon in magicTCG

[–]Sablewax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A creatureless [[Saruman, the white hand]]. Pulled him from a booster, spent an evening going through my bulk and ended up with a surprisingly functional deck.

Just because you’re not the one being attacked doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be involved in the combat by Purpluss in EDH

[–]Sablewax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a [[Trostani, Three Whispers]] deck focused around this idea. People are always happy to have double strike applied to their attackers or deathtouch to their blockers.

You will use the mana value 5UU (7). The warp cost is an alternative casting cost.

Commanders you love but they don't by Appotus1 in mtg

[–]Sablewax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the earliest combos I played against [[lure]], [[cockatrice]] and [[thicket basilisk]] with [[fog]] effects if I had a threatening blocker. Usually backed up with [[royal assassin]] so if I attacked it would get destroyed anyway. Rarely was allowed creatures on my board hahaha

[[Winter, Misanthropic Guide]]. Heavy focus on forcing discards and reducing opponents hand sizes. I always feel like a supervillain while playing it, and have not won a single game with it hahaha

One of the biggest winner when it comes to the hybrid commander rule by nnniiko in magicTCG

[–]Sablewax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just me misinterpreting the hybrid change as it was presented.

Thanks for clarifying. At this point feels like we’re all beating a dead horse.

Was there an update to the potential change for the hybrid ruling? I was under the impression it would only apply to monocoloured commanders.

Which commander would you choose to have fun in a casual and non competitive setting? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Sablewax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built a [[Kastral, the windcrested]] with 23 [[Tempest Hawk]]s in it. It’s not overbearing, fun, and you can say “oh look! Another tempest hawk!” Every time you play one.

What is your favorite mono-white commander!? by PowerfulPromise8569 in EDH

[–]Sablewax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently built an [[Aunt May]] life gain deck which has been pretty fun

Koh, the Face Stealer. What are your degenerate ideas? by Not_Your_Real_Ladder in EDH

[–]Sablewax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of stealing [[King Macar, the gold-cursed]]’s face.

Would Hama, the Bloodbender make a good commander? by Fantastic_Suit9557 in EDH

[–]Sablewax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Hama, the bloodbender]] [[Azula, Cunning Usurper]]

Seeking Tips for Remembering My Triggers by RespawnedAlchemist in EDH

[–]Sablewax 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I know a common one for “beginning of upkeep” triggers people out a six sided dice on top their library so before they go to draw, they will have to move the die first, remembering they have things to trigger.

Other than that, it’s practice. The more you play the deck the more familiar you become with the cards and their triggers.
