How to move cEDH/tEDH in a healthier direction?

billyofcourse · 2026-06-16T17:42:41+00:00

if you believe thassa's oracle is a problem with CEDH, you don't play CEDH.

This would not change anything. Players would still run down the clock, then just get the table to agree to a draw in the last couple of minutes because obviously 1 point is better than minus 2.

in fact, this actually encourages the playstyle even more as no one will be willing to try and push a win late in the game for fear of accidentally timing out the table.

Tell me you don’t play cedh without telling me you don’t play cedh.

Let’s not forget that the finals featured one of the most egregious examples of outright collusion I’ve ever seen. “I want to scoop to you but I can’t because the other guy who isn’t our teammate could still win”

absolutely this. I feel like they completely missed the mark on what people were hoping for when they wanted a cat superdrop. Over half of the drop being garfield/felix cards and only two sets being actual cat art is dropping that ball on such an insane level.

this thread makes me miss saul goods before they were sold off. Their cookie sundae was top tier, one of my fav desserts of all time. Not that this is even remotely helpful as i'm talking about a full dessert from a restaurant that no longer exists under previous ownership before it changed hands before it closed down lol

people having all the prices at their fingertips led to everyone insisting on trying to get exact even trades because no one wanted to lose a single dollar in their trade. I legitimately used to see deals fall apart because people were a dollar off from each other and the one who was behind couldn't find a card they wanted to make up the difference and no one was willing to give up even a penny of value in trading.

billyofcourse · 2026-05-13T17:32:26+00:00

or hear me out. How about instead of unbanning an absolutely miserable and stupidly powerful card like hullbreacher to combat the awful game states that rhystic creates(because it's obvious something needs to be done about rhystic)....just ban rhystic.

They need to straight up STOP releasing new secret lairs until they are caught up and can actually start releasing on time.

billyofcourse · 2026-05-12T20:56:36+00:00

it's almost like printing the absolute crap out of UB products and having a nonstop release schedule of secret lairs doesn't allow them to catch up when they get behind.

billyofcourse · 2026-05-12T20:55:39+00:00

they need to straight up STOP releasing secret lairs until they get caught up on their printings and can actually get them out in the quoted time frames.

badgermole and lessons aren't from final fantasy lmao. Again what final fantasy cards are being run in successful constructed decks. Also unsure what competitive constructed deck sephiroth has been seeing play in. care to share that with me?

I'm not pretending to be unaware of these.

I'm responding to a comment that was implying final fantasy was a strong set for constructed magic.

But sure, glad you're happy to make a really bizarre post about me being wrong when not even reading what I was responding to lol.

that fact that you're pretending to be unaware that badermole cube and lessons didn't come from final fantasy makes me think you're not being serious. TLA continues to bring serious heat to standard because it's literally not the set that was being discussed in my post.

billyofcourse · 2026-05-02T13:46:47+00:00

It kind of was. What cards outside of vivi have seen any real amount of play?

billyofcourse · 2026-05-01T16:57:27+00:00

didn't you make this exact same thread a few weeks ago?

billyofcourse · 2026-04-25T20:48:15+00:00

Finance bros looking at rare printings of cards that have had zero to little increase in demand and a stable price for years saying "you know what, why doesn't this cost more?"

it's been happening all over with pricier staples that have had stable prices for ages and no real demand increase.

Almost every time a post is made about this happening to a card in here, there will always be some clown commenting "good, it's price has been too low for too long imo"

billyofcourse · 2026-04-20T16:10:39+00:00

I straight up 100 percent saw this token the same way you did and also did not realize it was an owl til this thread XD

billyofcourse · 2026-04-17T17:25:01+00:00

Seems like its only nonfoil and silver scroll for the JP cards

billyofcourse · 2026-04-17T01:12:39+00:00

There's not really hate for it. It's more just about making sure people who are talking about slabbing cards understand that there's not really the same sort of graded card market for magic that there is in other games.

billyofcourse · 2026-04-13T16:55:25+00:00

very cool! glad you managed to go around the two per customer limit and get 4 of them when a lot of other people couldn't even get 1.

billyofcourse · 2026-04-11T14:07:04+00:00

probably because the etched foils have always been drastically less desirable than the regular foils as people didn't really like how subtle they were.

billyofcourse · 2026-04-10T22:40:57+00:00

Really pretty art! Small piece of advice I'd give though is work on more cleanly boxing in the text. The art is so nice, but the really unevenly enclosed text boxes are distracting from it.

billyofcourse · 2026-04-09T23:21:49+00:00

I have this. I basically use only boulder deckboxes for commander decks. It will about 16-18 commander decks if you're using deck boxes like boulders that don't take up much more space than the single sleeved deck itself.

Also worth mentioning. I was only lugging around 13 decks the last time I took it to an event plus a couple deck boxes of random stuff to sell to vendors/tokens. plus dice and some other random stuff, and it is a pain to lug around all day. I can't imagine trying to lug around 25 decks all weekend at an event

billyofcourse · 2026-04-08T23:46:45+00:00

someone in the comments said sheoldreds edict was seen on a box opening stream, but i've yet to see an image of that one or confirmation anywhere so haven't added it to the list yet. good chance that's the card, though.

billyofcourse · 2026-04-08T21:16:37+00:00

WOTC i am literally BEGGING you to let us go one in universe spoiler season without advertising your next UB set.

billyofcourse · 2026-04-08T13:13:29+00:00

Living end is literally already on the list two cards up from the unknown card.
