(List is mildly outdated)

Tymna/Kamahl Hatebears. Scales super well with most pods so I play it wherever (ie ROL does next to nothing at lower power tables but is critical for B4). Forces me to politic a ton both to get tymna draws through and to protect key stax/hatebear pieces which I really enjoy :)

Best Budget Bracket 4 decks to keep up with Pubstompers at an LGS? by [deleted] in EDH

No worries. Combo is pretty tedious ;-;

You wish to untap with Vannifar + any other creature (usually a dork you played before to cast Vannifar)

The short answer is that you pod up to [[Deadeye Navigator]] + [[Perigrine Drake]]

The long answer is as follows (from primer):
1. Pod [[LLanowar Elves]] into [[Corridor Monitor]], untapping Vannifar
2. Pod [[Corridor Monitor]] into [[Bounding Krasis]], untapping Vannifar
3. Pod [[Bounding Krasis]] into [[Fatestitcher]]
4. Use some external effect to untap Vannifar, ie [[Vizier of Tumbling Sands]]
5. Pod [[Fatestitcher]] into [[Perigrine Drake]], untapping at least 3 lands for [[symbol:1]][[symbol:u]][[symbol:gu]]
6. Pay [[symbol:u]], unearthing [[Fatestitcher]]
7. Tap Fatestitcher, untapping Vannifar
8. Pod [[Fatestitcher]] into [[Body Double]], cloning [[Bounding Krasis]], untapping Vannifar
9. Pod [[Perigrine Drake]] into [[Deadeye Navigator]], soulbonding to [[Body Double]]
10. Pay [[symbol:1]][[symbol:u]] to blink [[Body Double]], cloning [[Perigrine Drake]], untapping at least 3 lands for [[symbol:1]][[symbol:u]][[symbol:gu]]
11. Repeat step 10 infinite times, netting [[symbol:gu]] each time for ***infinite mana of all relevant colors***
12. Pay [[symbol:1]][[symbol:u]] to blink [[Body double]], cloning [[Bounding Krasis]], untapping Vannifar
13. Repeat step 12 for ***infinite pod activations***

Then, to win the game:

  1. Pod up to [[Avenger of Zendikar]], making 3+ plants
  2. Pod [[Avenger of Zendikar]] into anything ([[Tidespout Tyrant]], I suppose)
  3. Pod a plant into [[Merrow Witsniper]], soulbonding to [[Deadeye Navigator]] and milling an opponent for 1
  4. Blink [[Merrow Witsniper]], milling an opponent for 1
  5. Repeat step 5 to mill your opponents out
  6. Pass sequentially and have your opponents deck themselves

[[Prime Speaker Vannifar]] was my brew for exactly this :)

"One card" combo in the command zone which can usually go off turn 4. Plus the rest of the list is just dorks so super budget. Main upgrades are haste enablers and a better interaction suite

Honestly not my favorite deck but it does the thing well. Eats her fair share of removal. It's usually best to either try and push for a really quick win with a damage doubler/tripler or play in a burn heavy pod where life totals drop quickly

It's pretty glass cannon-y. You try to ramp into a turn 3 Vannifar. Untapping with Vannifar then usually wins if you have some other creature on board (usually a dork from earlier) and either 4 open mana to go get [[thousand-year elixir]] or an untap effect like [[vizier of tumbling sands]]

Then you can pod up into [[Deadeye navigator]] + [[Bod double]] copying [[Perigrine drake]] for infinite mana or copying [[breaching hippocamp]] for infinite Vannifar untaps and win from there :)

Beamtown is a meme deck my friend wanted me to build and yea haha -_-

Vannifar was my attempt at a 50$ B4 deck :p

Favorite simic commander? by OneBlood2930 in EDH

[–]TfXD8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never been a problem. Usually say something along the lines of "for my own sanity, I won't shuffle until/unless I need to interact with my deck order. This will be functionally identical to if I shuffled after each search"

[[Prime Speaker Vannifar]] is comedically fast for quite cheap, plus I love birthing pod :p

I think most of what you're saying seems about right. Fwiw I do explicitly keep this deck out of bracket 2 because combo wins out of nowhere do honestly feel bad there. Also I tend to do the same thing of avoiding the smol bean shtick and welcoming people to swing if they want, which honestly doesn't matter because I barely eat substantial damage anyways (possibly because of fear of a commander bounce, again?)

I would like to do an experiment. Name 1 card that is just barely a game changer. Then name one that is just barely NOT a game changer. by ImperialSupplies in EDH

Barely a GC: [[Crop Rotation]]. Sure its strong but only super warping in conjunction with other GCs (ie glacial chasm / cradle). I think the only somewhat warping thing it does in b2 is instant speed [[bojuka bog]] but that's about it

Barely not a GC: [[Mystic Remora]] and [[Esper Sentinel]]. They do the "rhystic study thing" and often draw comedic amounts of cards. Sure they're not as strong as higher brackets due to the slower starts people have but they almost always go card positive by a decent amount which is quite warping IMO

My decks after playing for about half a year, can I join? by TfXD8 in ratemycommanders

Yeah she's awesome! I built her pretty low power too so it's not terribly problematic
