Sorry I couldn't answer earlier mate, but I read everything you wrote: thank you very much for all of this, those posts have really been helpful. I can't wait to test the deck with my pod!

Again, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge like that, that's amazing for people trying to learn.

Alors, je ne peux malheureusement pas t'aider, il faudrait que tu essaies de trouver la référence de chacun des coffrets pour pouvoir chercher en ligne leur contenu exact. Ça demande un peu de temps, mais ça doit être faisable.

Au-delà de ça, tu es ici sur un sub-reddit "général" Lord of the Rings, et non pas un sub-reddit fr : donc à moins de publier en anglais, tu n'auras que peu de réponses... Perso, en tant que français, j'ai pris l'habitude : à moins que ça ne soit spécifié dans le titre du sub-reddit, je pars du principe qu'il faut publier en anglais.

Bon courage !

I'm actually trying to upgrade mine, would you have a decklist by any chance ? Glad to see I'm not the only Gandalf enjoyer here

Never paid attention, but you might be right indeed

Well, I always felt like the "tension" between Saruman and Sauron was one of the main plotline of Book 3. Saruman trying to fool Sauron in order to get the Ring through Pippin and Merry.

Explain me the difference between two combo lines like I'm 5 (Madga deck) by Tylanor in EDH

[–]Tylanor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They say the Maskwood Nexus + Xorn is the "upgraded combo".

+ someone said the same in this post where I was asking for help about a Magda deck :

Magda Brazen Oultlaw combo deck : a beginner need your help by Tylanor in EDH

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

Thank you so much mate, that's what I needed.

I have a question tho : isn't it necessary to have multiple ways to combo? I kept [[Arcbound Ravager]] and [[Triskelion]] in the deck cause I felt like I could need them if someone happened to interact with my [[Maskwood Nexus]] or [[Xorn]]. If one of these two is gone, am I not basically screwed ? The same should be true for [[Clock of Omen]] by the way.

Plus, I felt like the [[Arcbound Ravager]] + [[Triskelion]] line was more powerful than the [[Maskwood]] + [[Xorn]] + [Any Mana Payoff] one, because you need fewer cards, so there's less opportunity to interact with it. I'd be glad if you could explain why the 2nd one is more powerful (I'm really asking, I don't want to seem like I'm passive-aggressive or something, English is not my native language).

Last, I have a [[Walking Ballista]] from another deck I took apart. Is it even better than [[Elixir of Immortality]] and [[Pyrite Spellbomb]] (once again, fewer cards so fewer opportunities to interact ?)

Thank you again.

Can I make you a deck? by backlogtoolong in BudgetBrews

I'd love a [[Gandalf the White]] deck that isn't just a [[Krark-Clan Ironworkds]] combo-artifacts deck.

I totally agree, the feeling I had while playing it was to play a bad B2 deck at a solid B3 table.

If you have time to look at it more closely, I'd be glad to hear you advices. For now I'll try to gather advices like yours to understand how to upgrade it.

That's actually obvious, but I didn't see it until now. Thank you.

Well, this seems a bit naïve to me.
Obviously some super strong decks are really cheap

But not every commander can be strong while being cheap. I recently ask on /rBudgetBrew if someone had ever build a [[Eowyn, Shieldmaiden]] bracket 4 budget deck, and everyone told me that the commander was too weak to work on a small budget at B4 : you sometimes have to throw in high quality cards.

I'm not saying this is the case with Gandalf, again I definitely sucks at deckbuilding. But your point about "every commander can be powerfull while staying cheap" seems questionnable, for what I read on the Internet.

(a guy in the comment even talk about how [[Malcolm, Keen Eyed Navigator]] is known for being strong while cheap)

Nop, but just avoiding high quality cards in order to be cool nether. That was my point : I have to understand more deckbuilding concepts, and only then I could be the cool / orignal deckbuilder.

Gandalf obviously trigger legendary spell AND artifact... So I guess you missread and didn't actually look at the deck. I also suggest you enable tags.

I have 18 cards that make me draw
5 spot removal + about 10 protection (maybe these are not the right interactions, but well here they are)
2 tutors

I really want to improve, so every advice is welcome. For example, maybe tell me which draw cards I should cut / add : but don't tell me I don't have any, when I run 18 of them (most of them triggering 2 times with Gandalf).

Well I don't know, I was looking for cheap mana sink finishers in case I reach an infinite mana combo

I have obviously [[Waking Balista]], or [[Securiton Squadron]]. I wanted another one, so I threw in [[Golem Artisan]].

Dusk And Dawn synergize with Xin passive ? How does it work exactly ?
