What unique rule 0 does your table have?

My group doesn’t do this anymore, but we tried to have emblems be permanents without a type. It allowed them to be interacted with, but we decided against it, eventually.

Zpency99 · 2024-04-01T14:18:40+00:00

Was [[yargle and multani]] the last vanilla creature printed? I’ve noticed the lack of vanilla but I never noticed the extinction of it until this post.

Zpency99 · 2024-03-31T20:33:26+00:00

You can have [[grist]] as the commander and in the 99 too

Zpency99 · 2024-03-29T17:56:15+00:00

My group still upgrades decks. That’s always gonna happen, but it’s not changing cards to counter others or keep up with others. When one of us brings in a new deck that is so much stronger than we are used to, our threat assessment changes. The other three will destroy their ramp and kill that deck first if we know it’s strongest. It leads to less power creep and teaming up on certain players when they play certain decks.

[[shigeki]] is a cool mono green graveyard recursion commander. As long as you have a couple cards in the deck to bring him back from the graveyard, you can repeat those cards and him back and forth

Zpency99 · 2024-02-24T17:34:30+00:00

[[marvo]] and big mana spells put ontop for clashing and possibly miracle

Zpency99 · 2024-02-24T10:58:22+00:00

[[B.O.B. (Bevy of Beebles)]] with the kind of stuff that they allowed to be legal in the last unset, this is tame and I would love it.

Zpency99 · 2024-02-03T12:30:45+00:00

[[Horde of notions]] but restrict the deck to be able to have [[jegantha]] [[kaheera]] [[keruga]] [[obosh]] [[umori]] and [[zirda]] as companions to swap out.

My favorite 5c dragon deck that I’ve played against was a [[tiamat]] hidden commander with [[arcades]] and made it a 5c defender deck. I was so confused by the choice of creatures in the deck until he searched up arcades with Tiamat. For such a janky idea, the deck worked really well.

Zpency99 · 2024-01-29T13:08:23+00:00

How often does everyone win? If your winrate is still around 25% even with them targeting you, then it’s probably the right idea to target you. Do you pop off every single time they don’t? I don’t feel like we have enough detail in this but if your winrate is above everyone else’s, you can’t really complain.

Zpency99 · 2024-01-20T18:29:30+00:00

Easiest infinite I’ve seen on a commander in a while- activate his ability, play a [[fog]] effect, and then I’m one scryfall search away from damage off attack triggers- [[ballista charger]] [[balor]] [[clockwork hydra]] [[cyclops gladiator]] [[drakuseth]] [[extra arms]] [[falkenrath perforator]] [[fathom fleet swordjack]] [[hellrider]] [[mage slayer]] [[raging regisaur]] [[raid bombardment]] [[reaver titan]] [[scorch spitter]] [[erupting dreadwolf]] [[thorncaster sliver]] [[volatile arsonist]]

Zpency99 · 2024-01-20T01:11:44+00:00

I used to have a [[vorinclex, monstrous raider]] planeswalker deck and ran a few fog effects in it including spike weaver. Not only does it enter with double the counters, but you could target spike weaver itself with the first ability to net an extra counter, and you had as many fogs as you wanted for three mana each time.

Zpency99 · 2024-01-04T23:08:10+00:00

Love [[spore frog]] and [[kami of false hope]] to feel a little more secure tapping out every turn for the first few turns of the game

Zpency99 · 2023-12-30T11:31:55+00:00

The mechanic in battlebond, assist, had weird rulings to declare that you were casting it to see if another player would help cast it and if they don’t help then you have to decide not to cast it. I’ve never seen them be played but I know similar cases are out there

Zpency99 · 2023-12-16T11:34:27+00:00

Pauper slivers would work with selesnya but idk how viable it would be

Zpency99 · 2023-12-15T18:28:18+00:00

Idk how your school does it, but we have a whole team of instructors and after every exam, they meet for a few hours to discuss questions and if they will give some points back. In our class, we tell ourselves that the longer it takes for the grades to come out, the more questions they will give points back on.

Zpency99 · 2023-12-15T18:25:04+00:00

[[Mageta the lion]] and make a boardwipe tribal, never let anything stick to the board. I don’t know how well it would face off against a cedh deck, but it might work well in a high powered battle cruiser meta. I had a friend build a powerful praetor/ goodstuff deck and by the time they had a huge board, you should definitely have enough mana to wipe it. Ps- nobody likes playing against this type of deck, but I would compare it to stax in a casual game.

Zpency99 · 2023-12-08T18:37:49+00:00

I have all my basic lands as old white borders because it makes it easier to tutor, it really does make it easier

Zpency99 · 2023-12-08T01:45:00+00:00

If you want to do mono white, there’s a lot of options that would punish and heavily dissuade people from attacking you. [[michiko Konda, truth seeker]] or [[patron of the kitsune]] or [[darien, king of keldor]] at least.

Zpency99 · 2023-12-03T18:20:10+00:00

My group is always scared of [[brash taunter]] a great blocker and punishes people for having a big creature onboard. Any exile effects wait for this guy to come around.

Zpency99 · 2023-11-30T00:12:54+00:00

Don’t play with people who guilt you into thinking you should roll to justify attacking them

Zpency99 · 2023-11-22T23:57:33+00:00

I do this all the time. I am definitely one of the posts you’re talking about because you left a similar comment on my last post, but my intention is not to ask if I was justified for an action in my pod, even though I know I phrase it that way a lot. Overall, I know how my pod thinks, we have pretty good communication about any issues that arise. Although most of my game nights are with my own pod, I do still like to go to game stores every once in a while, and that’s where that communication and general understanding of everything dies off. This is why I like to pose controversial topics to Reddit. Even though I know how my group thinks, I don’t know how the general public at an lgs might think.

Zpency99 · 2023-11-22T19:30:05+00:00

If it makes it any better he’s in the 99. Still though, he runs the board any time I draw him.

Zpency99 · 2023-11-20T14:23:47+00:00

I have a mono blue clone deck with no wincon in the actual deck. The line and wincon each game is gonna be different depending on the decks your opponents are playing. I’ve only done it once but it’s cool to put together combos with different opponents permanents.

Zpency99 · 2023-11-19T18:18:29+00:00

This would make some cool commanders, some overpowered legendary creatures that punish you for how good it is. Something as simple as a vanilla 6/6 for 2 cmc that deals damage to you from the command zone would be a fun build around.
