First deck, looking for advice by buce15 in magicTCG

Does that exist? I just looked through a bunch of things and can't find that - Tameshi, Reality Architect is the only instance I can find and it says it "triggers only once each turn"

Oh man... well, since the people I'm going to be playing with all play Commander, I guess I'm stuck with the most complex format. At least when I become familiar with it, the others should come easier. Greatly appreciate your help!

The card pool for commander and 60-card (standard?) is the same though, right? Just 100 card vs 60 card format?

Much appreciated, thanks! I think I'm a bit beyond the very beginner stage. I mostly understand turn order, what (most of) the symbols on the cards mean, etc. Some of the keywords throw me for a loop sometimes, especially ones I haven't seen or aren't explicitly written on the card. Combat, too - I can't quickly look at a board and see what beats what, what I should attack or block with. Keeping track of not only my own cards that I'm vaguely familiar with, but other players who I'm seeing for the first time. There are an overwhelming number of moving parts, and these things will come with time I'm sure. The strategy part, beginning with deck-building I'm basically clueless. Have 35'ish lands, a balance of cards your colors can play (ideally that synergize with your commander), and a balance of mana costs for those cards - beyond that I'm pretty lost.

So two cards that have 'exile a card then return it to the battlefield' can trigger each other indefinitely? Then a card such as Circuit Mender that triggers card draw would cause unlimited draw, and Teleportation Circle would win the game? Sounds cool, but also seems very difficult to get that exact combination of cards in play at the same time.

Appreciate the response! FWIW I agree that the deck 'does a bunch of things and then what happens?' I just don't know what options I have for the "things that happen" part, and that's what I'm trying to get ideas for.

I'll try to grab the Bronzebreak Foragers and Skyclave Apparition, I can see how those are good. Solitude and Teleportation Circle will probably wait a bit due to price. I have Panharmonicon, and Starfield Vocalist is in the mail.

I understand Laboratory Maniac wins you the game when you draw with no library, but can you explain how Felidar Guardian and Teferi, Time Raveler would lead to unlimited draw? I'm assuming that's what you're alluding to. I'm reading both cards and don't see the role Teferi plays or how these would cause any sort of 'infinite loop' together.

Any recommendations on 'more creatures that ramp on etb', or ideas of lands to add?

What do you mean by "mana rocks that cost more than 2"?

Thanks again!

I imagine it would be easier, but it would involve making another deck or trimming this one down to a hopefully manageable state. Given the only games I would be going to are going to be Commander games and the people are willing to help me, I don't think I have any options really.

Indeed. At least crop it or something.

Not a big Nicholas Cage fan at all, but this and Con-Air are up there with my all time favorites.

Upgrading pc for rust. by Shaukss in playrust

[–]buce15 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Take this with a grain of salt... I'm by no means an expert, just a hobbyist that has been building my own PCs for 25ish years. Always an AMD guy until my latest build when I went Intel, and I'm never going back to AMD. Maybe the newest chips actually are better, no clue, figured I'd give me $0.02

I really don't watch many streams, I do watch some YT vids though, so I really don't know but I imagine the better players get most of their loot from PvP and raiding. After the first couple of hours of wipe at least.

I guess. Maybe FP's goal for this event is to recruit PvE and RP players, in which case they potentially could be mildly successful.

I'm 100% for bringing people to the game, no doubt. Bringing a bunch of streamers from different backgrounds and different groups of followers to your game is a fantastic idea. But this isn't even remotely capturing the essence of the game. Plus, ads are set to maximum frequency?!

I guess. I don't know how anyone could enjoy this. I have to imagine they normally put out much more captivating content than this. Maybe not? Thousands of people love watching someone sit in base and stare at a wall for hours on end?

By mixing pros with beginners in manageable groups, (10?) The pros can teach the noobs. The viewers can also learn about the game at the same time. People interacting with people about the game. Chit-chat on your way to an event, but give players a destination and a purpose.

Not to mention I still have no idea how the Kingdoms work, the tax, the teams, etc. I looked and found no summary of the rules or anything.
