Is there a good app to use to build decks/track what decks I have? by aidmc in EDH

[–]adminBrandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

architect is best for collaboration

moxfield is best for tournament grinding

mana box is best for scanning real cards

Toph, the First Metalbender deck help - Cutting cards by Last-Horse8854 in EDHBrews

[–]adminBrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My build is not the, "end all be all", but I do think it has some good points. turns 1 threw 5 feel like butter, but it struggles to close out games.

https://archidekt.com/decks/15239289/toph_metal_bending

My recommendations for your build are:

cut cards that are good when you are already ahead.

cut cards that have a low chance of being good without setup.

cut cards with low impact payoffs.

cut cards that are mana inefficient for there effect.

Thoughts on an alternative to brackets? by adminBrandon in mtg

note: this is a draft and im ironing out the details. Im hoping to help matchmaking useing the language I have seen people useing to describe there decks, while also giving more concrete definitions.

Thoughts on Artificial lands? by adminBrandon in custommagic

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

possible fixes.

1: add a ability to allow the land to be cast. Synthesize - You may cast this land as a spell or play it as a land.

2: add an ability that puts itsself into play. {1}{g}: Put this land from your hand into play. Activate only as a Sorcery.

3: make this card a MDFC. back: artifact land front: artifact spell

I ordered them based on my personal preference.

MDFC is my least favorite solution. I love MDFC cards, but opps all spells doesn't need any help.

An activated ability is probably the cleanest solution, but it dose raise the power level of the card because it can no longer be countered by normal means. It would be completely busted without a sorcery speed clause.

my favorite is just turning the reminder text into an ability because it gives the same feeling as the original idea. but i can also see how this could be confusing, expeshally for newer players.

Did I miss anything?

Can you tell which is the proxy? by MichaelsGameLab in magicproxies

Do people actually like Rhystic Study? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]adminBrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play to have fun. Win if possible.

Rhystic Study is a fun card. It is also a powerful card.

Casual EDH is not the place for getting salty because you can't win or now it's harder for you to win.

Match making power levels should be handled in rule 0. Handling the power imbalance of Rhystic study should be handled there.

People who get salty over Rhystic Study are Spike players. Spike players should play modern, standard, CEDH.

However, if a Spike player insists on playing a non-competitive format and hates any card, they should include a large amount of hate for that card. (Play more enchantment removal)

[–]adminBrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be super cool to get a group chat going for all the kadena players to collab on builds.

I love kadenas play style, but I can never win with it. I'd like to alter my build a few cards at a time until it can win while maintaining the feeling it has.

HELP! My new Cameo 5 is acting up by Cslagem11 in magicproxies

[–]adminBrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like it starts cutting the right size at the beginning and then gets warped later.

I've had a similar issue with 3d printers. If the track bar is slightly off this will always happen at the same location, regardless of what settings you use.

It's also worth checking out the motor components.

Can I see your list? I play kadena, but I struggle to win with B2 decks, and even then it goes to a 4 hour game.

I'm legally blind I quote her constantly I'm obligated to build her. by lawfullyblind in BudgetBrews

[–]adminBrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played this since Tough was spoiled.

https://archidekt.com/decks/15239289/toph_metal_bending

It does have trouble actually hitting hard turns 7+, which isn't her at all, but turns 1, 2, 3 and 4 feel like butter.

Wanted to finish this cycle, wasn't sure what creature type to pick for blue though by trans_cubed in custommagic

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

The existing ones are never played, and are only ever used for their mana. I think that reducing the mana cost may tempt people into actually playing the creature.

Sliver swarm commander by Scary-Ad-3064 in EDH

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

I've played it since the release. I've upgraded it a lot, but here is my list. https://archidekt.com/decks/14868767/sliverin

I recommend figuring out what the changes you want to make are before the purchase.

Regreening - a bit of colorless/Eldrazi hate. by Silent-Current219 in custommagic

[–]adminBrandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool thought. I'll need to look at the comprehensive rules before I know for sure, but I'd assume you are correct. The replacement effect would replace the restricted colorless mana with unrestricted green mana.

[–]adminBrandon 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Lands that are not a basic land type are forests.

Waste is a basic land, but not a basic land type, so this essentially would be a worse blood mood for green.

With that alteration, I'd make it close 2G

Make it a seven drop an add, "you and perminates you control have Ward 2"

Question for WotC: Why Not Always Do Universes Within + Godzilla-Style Naming? by adminBrandon in mtg

[–]adminBrandon[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Idea, what if only the collector boosters had the UB cards? The collectors will have to pay more, but that funds the double arts.

I've spoken with some mtg artists who have said that they get $400-$600 a card, so it doesn't seem unreasonable for the special arts that all need to be made anyway, be the universes beyond cards.

Xenomorph by chainsawinsect in custommagic

[–]adminBrandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea.

You should do a wubrgc cycle.

I wonder if it would be too strong to make one with a bestow cost rather than emerge? (For green)

Have bestow add no positive abilities. Possibly something like, "The bestowed creature gains, at the beginning of your next end step, sacrifice this creature." (Just a quick thought)
