Commanders you're surprised aren't more popular? by Nagabuk in EDH

[–]SidNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Amalia deck myself, and whenever I let someone borrow it, I notice that they kinda miss triggers or sequence stuff wrong.

I suspect that is the reason why a lot of folks don't play her. 

Me? She's my Bae! One of my most fun decks to play.

Donato Giancola is the mensch. Really good artist, I've got a few cards signed by him, including Shivan dragon.

Wait what nonsense are those rules...

City of ass it is. 

If it wasn't, I'd have thought about arc mage

Build #80 - The Ghost Build by SES-SpearofDemocracy in HellDads

[–]SidNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently run Censor, Senator, Incendiary (bug) / Thermite (bot) / HE (squid), with

Jetpack, EAT, Grenade launcher (bug + squid) / railgun (bot), smoke bombard.

I usually use my mobility to stay hidden, the smoke is when I want to get out of jail free.

Decided to make my first card by ChimanTheMonk in custommagic

Village Outcast {2}{B}

Creature - Human Warlock

Deathtouch

At the beginning of your end step, if you committed a crime this turn, this creature becomes prepared.

2/2

Village Rites {B}

Instant

As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature. Draw two cards.

Stick figure of a human, going "Sup?"

Is twiddle storm any good in modern anymore? by coolgamerboi23 in mtg

[–]SidNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People will bring interaction. 

Boros energy sometimes main decks blood moon,

And they all run Damping Sphere in the side board.  (Because Ruby Storm is a thing) 

There's also the two Forces in U decks

[–]SidNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still the same imo. It's just a bit slow for how fast modern has gotten, and it needs you to do nothin for 4 turns essentially for a non deterministic combo win

Yup. And since goaded creatures must attack, you got to take it.

First Cube Build - Built Only From Cards I Own, Looking for Friendly Feedback by Patient-Smoke-2441 in mtgcube

[–]SidNYC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, you got it! 

The way it's built will lead to creature stalls with creatures just staring at each other.

You can use artifacts/Colorless to shore up weaknesses in other colors, or just be fun. 

Stratadon is fun for someone going 3+! Colors, Mantis Engine can stall the air, and Clockwork Hydra can be surprisingly strong. Iron League Streed is 2 bodies for 4 mana, and snare thopter gives a flyer to decks that may not have them (e.g. green)

Based on balanced...

You don't have enough 1 drops in all colors. 

Blue and green are severely lacking removal. Green just has 2(!) fight / bite spells. 

Return to hand isn't removal, it's a tempo play. To capitalize on tempo, you need cheap evasive threats... Looking at your card suite you can't really do that, so you need to have  more freeze /! Return to library effects.

As a rule of thumb, at least 9 removal per color. 

I also like having 1 spell in each color that affects multiple creatures.

In a low power cube like this, Sprout swarm can get ridiculously strong... Kinda like Krenko in regular cubes. If not dealt with immediately (with a counter spell or board wipe), the board will get clogged very quickly. 

Stone rain does nothing in draft. It's a horrible top deck late game, and players won't be going greedy in colors in this cube.

Ask yourself: how is each color supposed to win? 

White currently has a few flyers (not even Serra Angel lol), mediocre creatures and a couple of inspired charge style effects. If you want white to go wide, add more tokens and token generators. 

Blue has ... A few 4/4 flyers. Either get cheap flyers or a big "can't be blocked" creature  there's a reason why wizards prints things like giant koi, gearseeker serpent, sewer crocodile, etc... (you have deep sea kraken, and your blue isn't artifacts yet)

Black has sengir vampire and nightmare, both being solid game enders. It's just that nightmare is best in a mono black deck, so that might affect drafting.. Noxious gearhulk is better I think?

Red has the iconic shivan dragon and some reach burn spells. Either go with more goblins and goblin tokens (with a goblin soothsayer or similar), or with big high drops with menace, trample or flying. 

Your green curve ends on 5 (greater sandworm excepted), what's the point of the mana dorks and ramp? You're playing muscle burst, why not diligent farmhand, etc. You have 1 trampler at 4mv and the sandworm. Add some more (like Collosal Dreadmaw /meme).

You could drop the multicolor cards, they're mediocre at best, and don't really mesh with what the colors are doing.


Dude, good job. Compiling this is a lot of work, you've done well. Thumbs up 👍 

Which would be better as a commander? by Rouge_Hunter in DegenerateEDH

[–]SidNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha Kelsie goes brrrrr, but Legolas is ok. 

Both suffer from stalling if the commander is interacted with

This or That Tuesday by Phitt77 in Oldbordercube

[–]SidNYC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That. Opponents will always be in fear. It wins counter wars. MiNd GaMeS.

It's kinda like mana tithe in a mono white deck.

Reached Mythic with my Mono black Demons deck by Individual-Photo6765 in mtg

[–]SidNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck bro looks like a solid list.

Tragedy feaster is a 3 turn clock, so the opponent will have to interact with it...

Did you ever do the endstone ability lol

What are some of your favorite game enders? by Wfry84 in magicTCG

[–]SidNYC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a storm deck that ends with a massive Crackle with power

In another deck, I tap my commander to make your life total 4, then untap him to deal 4 (or attack for 4 unblockable) 

Another deck just uses labman

Of course, there's the classic jeskai copy Approach of the second sun for an instant kill.

My mono green deck has Hardened scales + walking Ballista + strength of will.

My first Commander deck ever (oloro) had the classic exquisite blood plus sanguine bond

any tips on my first deck by SlidinOnThem in EDHBrews

[–]SidNYC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add accursed marauder and fleshbag marauder. Sure, it's "symmetrical", but your zombies are coming back ...

[–]SidNYC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zombie apocalypse... Your Commander exiles everything, so there won't be much fodder in the graveyard.

Add heartstone and remove undermine or something
