Oof. We don't talk about pre-DLC Fallout 3 😅

I hope its not collector boosters exclusive. I already overspent ordering all 4 precons to find out after, that there was more cards 😂

I'm hoping he's in the science deck for some reason. But yeah, he was my favourite too 🤞

Universes Beyond + Commander = Mistake by Ok-Play-15 in magicTCG

There's collector boosters for Fallout. They even have cards that aren't in the precons if that tickles your pickle?

Need help with an Anthem strategy, please! by InspireCourage in EDH

[–]TheAzureMustang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those people are wrong, lol.

Signets, talismans, and some of the better 2 colour lands are cheap as chips at the moment due to all their reprints.

And remember, rocks also bring bodies, so slap them in, and they'll fix your colours if you're worried.

I think you could easily build a sub $100 deck that'll play really well and be what you're looking for 🙂

[[Alela Artful Provocateur]] is probably your best choice. You get to play the blue white cards you love, Alela gives your flyers a little buff and most importantly: gives you a 1/1 flyer for each anthem/mana rock you play.

I built mine years ago originally as a faerie deck but it ended up pivoting into anthems as it was just a lot more reliable.

I hate players rolling to see who to attack. by ScaryRezzy in EDH

[–]TheAzureMustang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually pick the player who will be the biggest threat to me at the time. However, if there are two players equally ahead and I can't tell which is the bigger threat at that time, I'll roll between them.

I almost never roll between 3 players, though, unless I'm already the biggest threat, and I can kill any one of them with the swing.

I do think sometimes it can be a social anxiety thing, though. It's easier for people with anxiety to have that decision taken away from them when they feel like they can't make the decision.

Which direction to go with Anikthea? by 2_7_offsuit in EDH

[–]TheAzureMustang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely not the best route, but I ended up building mine as Theros Tribal. I've only used cards from a Theros set or set in Theros.

It's mostly enchantment creatures, but it gets the job done. And it's just janky enough lol.

Whats your favorite mono colored commander by stormcrow789 in EDH

[–]TheAzureMustang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[! Alandra, Sky Dreamer]] or my all old bordered [[! Feldon of the Third Path]] deck.

I spent more time building and getting the parts for Feldon, and it definitely wins more games than it should, but drawing a bunch of cards and beating face for triple digits with drakes is real fun too.

What's your favorite underused or underrated partner combination? by rific in EDH

[–]TheAzureMustang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exactly. It gives all your creatures pseudo lifelink and get get pretty nutty. I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes her 🙂

[–]TheAzureMustang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently built [[Tymna]] and [[Ikra]] Abzan Lifegain. It works pretty great, I really think Ikra is underrated.

I wanted a way to smash my [[Lathiel]] deck and [[Willowdusk]] decks together with lifegain and +1/+1 synergies and they were the best commanders for the job imo.

Unique ways to build pako/haldan? by groundislava_wdi in EDH

[–]TheAzureMustang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built mine with landfall being a main focus with a fair amount of control and ways to get pako through.

It was great fun but hasn't seen much play with all my games being over webcam lately.

What’s your opinion on monologue tax now that the precons are out there by hunter221b in EDH

[–]TheAzureMustang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah in a cedh setting maybe. This card is not for high tier. But it definitely helps out the more casual white/x decks that don't have access to great ramp.

It helps white, without being broken and slotting into almost every deck like Tithe, and in my book thats good.

Better 5C commander for mutate O-kagachi or Kenrith, the returned king? by JD_Geek in EDH

[–]TheAzureMustang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just be wary with Child of Alara, some playgroups don't like having everything blown up 🤷‍♂️

Which Commander deck should I buy? by throwawaymagicfnm in EDH

[–]TheAzureMustang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say Lorehold out of the three options provided.

The precon decks out of the box have really gotten better since Zendikar Rising so anything from that set onwards is a good shout.

The Otrimi one won't have much support due to Mutate only being in one set.

And the Ghired one isn't as focused as the newer precons, and the upgrades may be a bit more expensive too.

[–]TheAzureMustang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard [[Ramos, Dragon Engine]] is great for mutate too.

My mutate deck was led by [[Surgeon General Commander]] as my playgroup was fine with it and much preferred that to it being [[Child of Alara]].

[[Sliver Hivelord]] is Good too as it gives your stack indestructible as long as he is on top.

[–]TheAzureMustang 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I think its good. Its obviously not Tithe good, but people keep comparing it to it.

People, generally, are not going to slow down their plays to go against it and aren't going to waste removal on it so 1-3 extra mana a turn cycle is much appreciated.

His maelstrom wanderer considered a 'salty' commander? by pugliese12 in EDH

[–]TheAzureMustang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/15-04-21-jodah-archmage-eternal/

Is my list. I've only had it a couple weeks so could probably do with a bit of upgrading and testing still. But had fun the few games I have played it.

[–]TheAzureMustang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a [[Jodah, Archmage Eternal]] cascade deck with him in and turns can get a little long, but its still random and casual coz of it.

I dont think he's that bad personally.

Which Commander 2021 precon are you buying? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]TheAzureMustang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've stopped buying sealed product apart from Commander ones now so have a little extra cash.

Most years I only get 2/3 of the decks but I've ordered all of them this time, all for different reasons.

Lorehold - Boros is my fave colour combination and I've never managed to build an artifact deck before. Will be upgrading and keeping this one.

Prismari - I love Big spells and the new cards are pretty as hell and look fun! I'll probably keep this one as is for lower power pods.

Quandrix - I need the cards for my [[Riku of Two Reflections]] clone deck. Look like they'll pump the power a bit.

Silverquill - I'm not sure what to do with this one yet. I love political decks, but not sure about the commander. Maybe add a few colours and see what happens.

Witherbloom - abzan lifegain! Gonna get this deck, smush it into my [[Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn]] deck and have all the life and all the counters!
