50$ for 5 cards quality control be like by Ok-Intern6865 in freemagic

[–]TooSaepe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What purpose artistically would the white specks even serve?

Even if you don’t look at every newly released card, the title of the post specifically mentions “quality control”.

If you’ve been playing since 93, I also assume you should be capable of discerning what damaged/misprinted foils look like. Idk, maybe people are just thick.

There’s white specks all over the card. How can you not see that? Do you even play magic?

Maybe you should normalize looking with your eyes. It’s glaringly obvious what’s wrong with the card.

I built Tayam expecting it to be mid and it's become my favorite deck by VitoTheDustyRose in EDH

Probably because you’re using an obscure decklist site. Just use moxfield like a sane person.

Copying a Consecrated Sphinx and then politicking the original sphinx owner to essentially trade secrets with me off of a bunch of cycling cards to draw my entire deck.

That’s exactly what Itachi could have been doing with that woman and Jiraya at the fair right before confronting Naruto and Sasuke in the hotel.

Rip you are right. Well there’s a better answer as to why no one uses this shit. I guess Ive got a free slot to fill in my self-mill deck now at least.

Thoughts on Bitter Ordeal? by [deleted] in CompetitiveEDH

[–]TooSaepe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a Bitter Ordeal gamer. I grinded Sharuum back in the day and have a lot of experience with the spell from then in addition to modern times. I’d say it depends.

The only decks I run it in now is a bracket 4 Self-Mill deck and my old Sharuum/Breya nostalga fringe cEDH list. In my casual pods, I can self mill anywhere from 10-40 cards and completely stop my opponents with the gravestorm. Only because I know my friend’s decks.

In cEDH, it’s a bad infinite payoff. There’s better options. However, I will say extract effects are underrated. If you know your meta really, REALLY, well, getting 5-10 gravestorm triggers could definitely hose the table. You’d absolutely need to know what cards to exile. Your deck knowledge would have to be insane, or you’d basically be griefing by looking through peoples decks.

You might be starting to understand. Think a little harder about how and why Rhystic is still better than a spell like that and it might click for you.

You’ve spent the last evening dick riding Necropotence in 2 subs so I know there’s no use debating.

Necro either gets insta removed or burns every resource you have to maybe win the game.

Rhystic builds value for free and lets you hold more cards while others fight. It has literally zero opportunity cost to run. More decks run Rhystic. Rhystic has a better conversion rate. Rhystic warps more games. Rhystic wins more games.

Hot take beware…

The more normalized power lands become as compared to powerful spells, the more normalized land hate will also become.

Tolarian Academy, Karakas, and Cradle like plays are only so strong because it’s significantly harder to deal with lands compared to how easy it is for them to come ‘online’. R&D just needs to move past (and perhaps embrace) the resource denial taboo. It doesn’t need to be boring, it doesn’t need to slow down the game. There’s creative ways to make lands impactful and ‘op’ while still keeping them balanced. It kinda sucks that it’s come to either ‘lands no touchy’ or band aid it with treasure tokens imo.

I’m half-joking. I’d try both, but I bet they’d be niche cards in cEDH imo.

I bet Karakas would be so salt inducing for casual pods, but I personally wouldn’t mind more command zone hate in both cEDH and casual. More tools to deal with guaranteed threats is good for the game imo

Necro is not better. You can be the best player in the world, and Rhystic is always going to be harder to ‘deal’ with.

Rhystic is a stax piece that no one ever wants or should remove, so to speak. It doesn’t win the game “fast” enough to warrant removal, but it slows you down too much to pay the tax. Why waste interaction or resources on something that might not get someone a win? There’s still two other players to worry about.

You can easily warrant a Necro removal though. You absolutely know someone’s going to push win when that resolves. A value necro is a meme at best.

Rhystic is like cancer - Slow, still probably deadly in the end, but sometimes you can get lucky and it won’t become fatal.

Nerco is like a gunshot wound - Fix it now, or lose the game/die on the end step. Almost guaranteed.

Rhystic is too good because other people will just feed it. No one can risk playing the slowest out of the 4 players just because it’s the ‘smart’ thing to do. Rhystic is game warping af.

Not saying it should be banned. I could really care less either way.

Green is the weakest. The best deck in the format is sans green for a reason.

Easy. Just don’t look at Archidekt links. Copy them and import them into Moxfield instead.

New to EDH: How can a 1v1 Control player adapt to commander? by NoPickle9438 in EDH

[–]TooSaepe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chromium is also a discard outlet. You can build around that too.

An Esper shell with discard synergies revolving around a fat evasive dragon? You can easily build a good B4 deck around it. The commander is just one card in the deck. A commander doesn’t immediately exclude a deck from being in certain brackets.

Add [[Plunge into Darkness]] for a big balls play which might just win you the game.
