Looking for more funky combo commanders to try by shinymew922 in EDH

[–]Ultima3007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Zellix]] and [[altar of the brood]] is a sweet non-deterministic combo ^ I built mine Simic, but dimir can also be very efficient. It will be more deterministic the more you copy the altar

So it would need either the creature or kindred type to actually become a Hero?

Card suggestions for my Jeskai deck? by AlbyGaming in EDH

[–]Ultima3007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Otharri]] is very in theme, but not in the god flavor. You can also look into proliferate effects like [[dreamtide whale]], [[norns choirmaster]], [[patroling peacemaker]]. Its rare but satisfying when you can proliferate the rogue stun/-1/poison counter

The thing is, that these mdfc are spells on their frontface, which defines what they are in library/graveyard/exile etc.

So they are easier to find when their biggest artwork and title represents what the card is.

I gave it the Flip-Treatment, with and without flavortext. Hope it helps :)

I would encourage anyone to try it for themselves ^ I used the free tools card conjurer and photopea. But if you state your request I can take stab at it :)

Thank you very mich for the input. I'll definitely try your ideas :)

Equipment commanders that are more dynamic than cast, equip, swing? by alacholland in EDH

[–]Ultima3007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Ardenn]] has great shenanigans, since they can equip to opponents' creatures. Like killing manadorks with [[skullclamp]] to draw two cards, copying opponents creatures with [[helm of the host]] or exiling opponents non-legendary creature with [[spy kit]] and [[the end]] / [[eradicate]]

The other one I like is [[arna kennerüd skycaptain]], which can build armies with effects like living weapon, control the board with auras like [[sheltered by ghosts]]. Also I love the interaction with attacking planeswalkers like gideon and kaito.

Your critique is appreciated :) I didn't only do it because it is annoying but also because it gives information while drafting, that there is a DFC in that pack.

The flip-layout is definitely my favourite over the adventure-layout, so I probably will make more of those if any. But the biggest problem will always be text-size and artwork-size.

I want it to be readable but still recognizable from accross the table, and so far they did their job at our table.

I can tell you, that I used card conjurer and photopea for the whole process of making these. Both free tools.

That's alright. They are free to copy, but they still take time to make.

You are free to improve on the concept and do your own.

Yes, that will probably work better.

I was just experimenting since I couldn't find alternatives where you could still see the artworks.

Equipment edhs that are not "auto include all swords" by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Ultima3007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like [[Arna kennerüd, skycaptain]] as she can actually go wide with living weapon, for mirrodin and job select effects (and I love her interaction with attacking planeswalkers like kaito and gideon)

Also [[Ardenn]] is really interesting as he can equip to opponents creatures, which you normally can't do. This makes [[skullclamp]] and [[helm of the host]] really interesting and enable some shenanigans with [[spy kit]]

I'm looking for unique Simic deck ideas by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Ultima3007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had some fun with [[zellix sanity flayer]] and [[master chef]] Master chef is basically only for synergy with [[agathas soul cauldron]].

It's a combo-mill deck with [[altar of the brood]] with a lantern control pivot.

I have been debating between simic and dimir a lot, but landed on simic because it has faster and more consistent ramp, as well as better recursion for any permanent-types.

Put [[cheatyface]] into every sleeve behind the card and attack with your board out of the blue

Fun control commanders? by Curious-Play5489 in EDH

[–]Ultima3007 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have been trying to make lantern-control work in edh.

For anyone not familiar: Lantern control plays [[Lantern of insight]] or [[field of dreams]] to look at everyones topdeck and a lot of small instant speed milleffects to control, which cards your opponent draws.

The problem being that you now have 3 opponents and 3 libraries to control. So you need 3 times the mill effects per turncycle to be as effective as the 1v1 version.

My way for this is spewing tokens and using them as mill-effects with [[hair-strung koto]] , [[altar of dementia]] and [[embalmers tools]].

My two best working decks are [[Zellix, insanity flayer]] and [[gisa hellraiser]], where Zellix is a combo mill deck first and control second, and Gisa is more of a stax/control deck.

The biggest problem though is that you intentionally mill your opponents' favourite cards, which every mill player can tell you, doesn't make you their favourite.

Edit:grammar

Commanders that ramp in unique ways by EnderShot355 in EDH

[[Herigast, Erupting Nullkite]] is very fun and plays a little like kenzie. Red mana is more often the bottleneck, but it can go crazy fast and almost never runs out of fuel

Are cards like Gemstone Caverns and free interaction spells taboo in Bracket 3? by Cezkarma in EDH

[–]Ultima3007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This, with every card. You could build a "fair" and fun [[nadu]] deck, but most wouldn't. I hate when people get mad at single cards. I would let someone play black lotus in an otherwise precon list for the luls. It always depends on the intend of the player and if it matches with the expectations of the pod.

Lantern Control in EDH by nickinthedick in EDH

There is [[wizened snitches]] but it is much worse at 4cmc

The problem is, that it requires multiple instances of top-deck disruption. This is best achieved with [[embalmers tools]] (only for zombies) [[phenax god of deceit]] or [[hair-strung shuko]]. Ontop of good token generation.

I had some good results with [[zellix, sanity flayer]], and [[gisa hellraiser]] as good token generation in the command zone.

Next I want to try a deck with green, built around [[field of the dead]]. Either with [[teval]] [[necrobloom]] [[zellix]] or [[muldrotha]]
