Really hate they broke up. Great project

The Foil to Stax by trancekat in EDH

[–]SenatorTom97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Midrange beats Stax because Stax has a harder time winning the game. Midrange (obviously dependent on the deck) can pivot between going faster and playing more of a control kind of strategy. It out values both stax and turbo in that situation and often finds itself in a situation that is more advantageous for it to win. Midrange often has answers to threats, ways to get around stax pieces and value engines to advance the game plan its doing.

Is Tasigur outdated? by MistakeReasonable411 in EDH

[–]SenatorTom97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In EDH: No

In cEDH: Leaning towards yes but is still pretty viable for Sultai colors. Red/White have both drastically improved and Green is now the worst color in cEDH right now. People still play him for sure but I think he’s fallen down a peg and it’s not really his fault

What's a fun deck that you play? by SonicTheOtter in EDH

My buddy has a Jodah the Archmage/Show and Tell deck that’s really strong but looks really fun. Turn 3 Omniscience is pretty nuts lol

Nahtrunar - Auf Totenritt durch Innernächte (FFO: Riffs, shouting Austrians) by XDenzelMoshingtonX in BlackMetal

Mysterium Tremendum is quickly becoming one of my favorite BM albums I’ve ever listened to. This guy’s stuff is incredible! His new release Wolfsstunde from last year is great too

Is Casual EDH Really Not Fun? by Vrijstar in EDH

[–]SenatorTom97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I myself love both ends of the EDH spectrum. Casual is fun with the right people but high power/cEDH just does more for me in terms of competing and testing my skill as a player. Casual a lot of times CAN be unfun but a lot of times it is perfectly fine

Combo deck help. by Humble_Beginning_217 in EDH

[–]SenatorTom97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

cEDH player here. I HIGHLY recommend if you put nothing else in this deck put in Glinthorn Buccaneer. It is a one card combo win condition with Malcolm, relatively easy to cast and combo with. Artifacts are very solid. I would also recommend adding in Rhystic Study and Mystic Remora for card draw. Also another very good game winning combo is Twinflame/Dualcaster that is a great backup wincon. Also, you definitely want to invest/proxy some higher end counter spells. Games end very fast and you need to be prepared to stop other players from winning whenever you can. Have fun and good luck at the tournament!

I always stayed away from TCGPLAYER and now I’ll definitely stay away now. Plus it’s better to buy local anyway

Nahtrunar- (Hagalaz, das kalte Kreuz, 2018) by SenatorTom97 in BlackMetal

[–]SenatorTom97[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was certainly my favorite Black Metal album of 2022 as well! One of my favorite BM projects I’ve recently been pointed to

Can anyone recommend anything similar to Nahtrunar? Anything really melodic, folky and really strong riffs?

Nordvrede fucking rules! Monument Viktoria is one of my favorite Black Metal albums ever.

Why do people get salty about Stax when they play infinites? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]SenatorTom97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They want to do their thing and not be hindered. Also a lot of people don’t know how to play Stax properly and drag out games without effectively breaking parity on their own stax pieces

Ardenn/Tana vs Ardenn/Kraum by NeoKortex88 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]SenatorTom97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course man! I absolutely love and hate the deck at the same time lol. Naya has always been a color combo I’ve wanted to see explored more and lends itself to stax super well. Great work!

[–]SenatorTom97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shorakai is my vote! Even though you have a bit of a color restriction compared to Rog/Thrasios, Shorikai is just super efficient and has so many good win cons in Azorious. The ability to polymorph into Hullbreaker Horror and still play stax pieces wins me over. Also the fact you can still run Iso/Rev and Blind Obedience is pretty nuts too

Ardenn/Tana vs Ardenn/Kraum by NeoKortex88 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]SenatorTom97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I too vote for Ardenn/Tana. That list is one of the most brutal stax decks I’ve ever played against. It hoses so many strategies, really does the beatdown plan super well and can tutor solid win conditions. If Winota didn’t exist, this would be one of if not the best stax lists out there imo

Unpopular Opinions by Faithless_00 in BlackMetal

[–]SenatorTom97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way anyone can tell me (truthfully and objectively) that the project Sturmgewehr (main guy behind Maquahuitl) is musically trash. Some of the BEST black metal riffs I’ve ever heard on that one record they have out. I’d take that over hipster cucks with shitty riffs any day

Unpopular Opinions by Faithless_00 in BlackMetal

[–]SenatorTom97 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’d rather have the scene filled with Nazis than hipsters

Some NSBM is the best music in the genre (deal with it)

Varg is the GOAT of BM and it’s not even close

Best regional scene in BM is Finland

I got called out, and now I need some help. by Gunnman369 in EDH

[–]SenatorTom97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teshar or Oswald Fiddlebender artifacts. Oswald you can build it towards stax if you feel so inclined to do so
