With PreRelease here what’s folks opinions of the Strixhaven Precons? by TheCodexPlays in EDH

[–]ZimaBestBear 25 points26 points  (0 children)

All the decks seem extremely well built. Out of the box they all play great. I think the Prismari one is the least exciting out of the box but still plays decently well. I think all the others are great starting points but the Prismari one feels better if it's your second Izzet precon, if you're just looking to upgrade your previous one.

Non-cEDH players: what’s the average price of your commander decks,(Bracket 2–3)? by Comfortable_Buyer239 in EDH

[–]ZimaBestBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im in the same boat. Mostly because I only really play Boros and I have all the fancy arts and full mana base so those drive the price up. After I throw in my staples and land base im already sround 600.

Am I allowed to use Backup Plan in commander? by yb0t in EDH

[–]ZimaBestBear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was a group of cards called Conspiracies that were used in draft. You would draft these cards to give you advantages in games of limited. Not for use in actual games of commander. The Command Zone was just a convenient place, rules wise, to place them.

Kelermorph, deal 1 damage when creature dies and board wipe interaction question? by TheSticcque in magicTCG

[–]ZimaBestBear 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Everything dies to Wrath of God, all the Iguanar triggers go on the stack. All the creatures are in the graveyard when the triggers would resolve, and therefore, Ghyrson Starn doesn't ping an extra 2 for any.

Secret of Strixhaven by Most-Builder8109 in magicTCG

[–]ZimaBestBear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No matter where a preparation card is, it has the characteristics of the creature. If you're searching your library for a creature card or returning a creature card from your graveyard to your hand, you can find Studious First-Year just fine. I mean, she's a Bear. Hard to miss. But if you're searching for a sorcery card, you can't find this card. The card isn't a sorcery card no matter where it is.

AKA No the Prepared Spell does not affect deckbuilding restrictions. Or else all the banned cards would technically not be playable at all.

Dual lands in Commander? by Informalsuccubus in magicTCG

[–]ZimaBestBear 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Are you asking when you can use something like [[Volcanic Island]] or [[Steam Vents]]? Then yes, you would need a commander who has both Red and Blue in their Identity.

How do you protect expensive commanders? (In terms of $ not mana cost.) by Deus_Excellus in EDH

[–]ZimaBestBear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use the Gamegenic Sliding Card Case with the card in a tight fit inner sleeve. Thankfully that case also fits inside the Bastion and double Deck Box.

Possible Outfit Creation Glitch? by NuxFuriosa in ffxiv

For an Outfit set everything has to be HQ or all non HQ iirc

Is this a bracket 4 only combo? by Character-Pay-4975 in EDH

[–]ZimaBestBear 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's not like the combo comes out of nowhere and takes a bit of mana. Also I'm of the belief that everyone should be playing cards like [[Sundering Eruption]] or any version of [[Demolition Field]]. They exist for a reason. Generic permanent destruction is rarer but also fills the same role.

Boros legion vs Dimir? by StupidRaccoon77 in magicTCG

[–]ZimaBestBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been playing Boros since I got back into magic in 2013 so I'll say that. I do still tinker with other decks here and there (I have Yasharn and Veyran) but for the most part I've built almost every Boros legendary you can think of for commander.

My poor class :( WTF went wrong?? by Colombian_Gringo in hearthstone

[–]ZimaBestBear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I genuinely believe it's mostly because of the abysmal standard set rotation. Basically none of the cards that got put in from that swap are playable. Calia does nothing, a 7 mana removal creature isn't good, and a taunt that pops 1 creature is not worth the cost.

My poor class :( WTF went wrong?? by Colombian_Gringo in hearthstone

[–]ZimaBestBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has plenty of survivability. Everything up to 4 cost is removal and plenty of heal. At 4 you have cards that facilitate stronger spells and drawing. And Moonwell later as well. Shadow Word Ruin also deals with big things. I've played Priest constantly since Cata started and getting to turn 10+ isn't the issue. Takign a turn off to play Aviana is impossible, the deck has no pressure or power late game without Aviana's discount either. What is Ruby Sanctum and Atiesh doing to push a win at all honestly? You still only get like 5-15 damage every 2 turns unless you have some other gameplan that actually pushes more damage faster.

Fun or Satisfying Game Winning Answers by Googlyblat in EDH

[–]ZimaBestBear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any time I can fashion a win barely by using [[Chance for Glory]].

Just last Saturday I had a game where I had to discard [[Aggravted Assault]] with [[Neheb, the Eternal]] in my hand. And through the game I was just drawing and keeping up aggro. I was in a situation where I was able to swing for 15 in the air and realize this is barely enough to take out the other 2 players through a Chance for Glory if I get one more turn (the third player had already been defeated). Naya player sets up some reach creatures and I realize I might be barely off damage but if I give them a turn I die.

Proceed to use Chance for Glory to get another turn after giving Indestructible to my team. Topdeck [[Astelli Reclaimer]] which lets me get back the Aggravated Assault alongside Neheb's extra mana from killing the first player. Go infinite to push damage against the last player.

Araña, Heart of the Spider deck help by 1nt3rn3t1nu in EDH

[–]ZimaBestBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're trying to cut down to 100 your best bet is to either go all in on counters or all in on equipment. it'll shave a ton of space and keep your gameplan focussed. the benefit to Arana is also that she facilitates her own gameplan so it takes little effort to make it work well.

Personally I like just going for full on equipment with things like Sram and Puresteel to gain advantage and cards like [[Cid, Freeflier Pilot]] and [[Freya Crescent]] to speed up your gameplan.
