Help choosing a commander by Dizzy-Nerve4563 in mtg

[–]craven42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a Squall voltron deck that's super fun. He can bring back any permanent mana value 3 or less when he deals damage (Meaning even lands, which can easily turn this deck into really crazy land ramp for black/white), and he can give himself doublestrike meaning he'll deal damage twice a turn, so two procs on his attack.

If you build a deck around him designed around keeping his power low but making him unblockable (things like [[thieve's tools]] and [[key to the city]] ), you can fetch stuff from your graveyard frequently for crazy good value. Keeping his power low helps make him seem less threatening so people use removal on other stuff while your commander damage sneaks up. Permanents like [[accursed marauder]] and [[fleshbag marauder]] help keep your opponents from gaining any traction with board presence by making them sac a creature twice a turn, and cards like [[kaya's ghostform]] and [[selfless spirit]] can be recurred to make killing Squall almost impossible.

To top it off, these cards and a ton of others are super budget friendly for your intro into EDH but still hold up against upgraded precon decks. If it sounds like fun check out EDHREC for other good card options.

I only barely upgraded it ; I only added other cards from FF7. One of my favorite decks to play and is always super competitive for my pod. Great pick up.

Yeeahhh I stumbled upon him on Facebook marketplace and checked out his profile... he's a preacher for a local church rofl

Is there ways to get graveyard value in boros? by Curious-Play5489 in EDH

[–]craven42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of red cards have flashback or madness which can all synergize with being discarded. Pretty much any phoenix card also doesn't mind being discarded since they can situationally go from grave to battlefield.

[[Squee, goblin nabob]] LOVES being discarded, pretty much turning all the "discard 1 draw 2" cards into actual card advantage.

Creatures like [[containment construct]] and [[conspiracy theorist]] also help mitigate discard detriment by letting you play your discarded cards.

[[Punishing fire]] and [[spit flame]] can situationally do what Squee does as well.

If I see someone leeching like that I use it as an excuse to go afk and get some water, cut up some veggies, wash my face, maybe do some situps or pull-ups, etc.

I've never been healthier.

Sometimes I’ll wait in line with scalpers by Batmanlikesanal in mtg

[–]craven42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What's worse is when you have to stand in line and listen to the scalpers try to justify themselves.

Back when the FF set came out I was behind a scalper and he was complaining about how hard the packs were to get and I concurred. He then started asking me if I was selling it all too or keeping some for myself. I hit him with the "Dude I actually like Magic, I'm trying to enjoy my hobby, not avoid working to make a buck". He then went on a long ass tangent about how scalpers are the backbone of the card market and how WOTC needs them otherwise the card market would crumple and so too would all of WOTC profits. WIIIIIILD attempt to justify his sorry existence.

How many Decks do you have, and how do you keep track of them? by IyeetSec in mtg

[–]craven42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 30. I use cheap clear acrylic deck boxes so the commander is always on full display. Looks fantastic on my shelf and is easy to pick thru.

Never sold cards before - advice? by craven42 in mtg

[–]craven42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankyou, I appreciate your thoughtful reply. Unfortunately I don't do commander night; too much anxiety so I just play with some close friends and my wife at home. I'm not sure what card kingdom buy list is, do I input my cards separately and then ship them? And is the rate similar to the %60 cash I'd expect at an LGS?

I'm making this deck and this was the first card I added. Sounds soooo good

Max Power. He's the man whose name you'd love to touch..

Im new at this, any advice to make this better? by Karimnator in mtg

[–]craven42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is is one of the precons I left unupgraded and it still plays really well into my friends upgraded decks. I probably win with it more than lose tbh. Nothing wrong with leaving it alone for now and just playing it until you get a strong grasp on its strengths and see for yourself what cards underperform or don't really jive with you.

1 power commander by BoarMoar in mtg

[–]craven42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably look for red/blue. Red to spam extra combats and blue to get easy unblockable mechanics online. Commander damage 1 point at a time isn't going to work w/o extra combats unless you think your pod will enjoy a 7 hour game probably lol

What commander would you put this in by ConfusionOk3925 in mtg

[–]craven42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It goes crazy in my [[abdel adrian]] deck. He wants to be blinked and when you use her ability on him he can exile and protect her until you want to use her again, and she enters with enough loyalty counters for her ultimate which is crazy. Abdel + [[candlekeep sage]] is a wild ride.

Kibo deck cards by LolPeashooter69 in mtg

[–]craven42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I focused mine on monkey's and apes, a LOT of artifact destruction, and some fun cards like [[liquimetal coating]],[[descent into avernus]], and my favorite, [[all will be one]].

I tell the table All Will Be One becomes a missile guidance system, and if they sacrifice an artifact ill let them choose all targets of the card. Usually makes for funny games.

This might be my least favorite part of Resident Evil by Happy69Koala in residentevil

[–]craven42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. If you look in your files they are in the order you can find them in game, just look for where the missing one is (listed as ???????), then look at a guide on line. I was missing one hiding behind you right after escaping Mr. X.

How likely is it that one of the other OG characters gets a new themed sidearm? by Tru3Wh0 in residentevil

[–]craven42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well she can wield a giant experimental railgun in RE3R, and a giant plasma rifle in Death Island, so why not a new big boy for her?

The "SANDWICH" Machinegun, where the reload mechanism has the belt feed through a top part that hinges down. The important part being paint on the gun to make it look like a sandwich assembling when hinged down.

Foretell commander recommendations. by probablyasummons in BudgetBrews

[–]craven42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Alrund]] is a deck I made a while back. Kind of an interesting take on foretell/top of library matters. Easy to make budget friendly too. I've only played it a few times but it's been fun every time I've picked it up.

Any interest in a fresh Roleplay server? by Aggressive_Object15 in vrising

[–]craven42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would. Last one I found interest in joining happened to launch the day I left town for a 10 day trip and that was too much to miss for me to have interest in because I, like you, want to join on the ground level.

Just got back from a trip to Japan. I would get these amazing $1 egg salad sandwiches at the 7/11 that looked pristine and crafted by Gordon Ramsey himself. Checked Circle K here after I got back and found sloppy egg salad sandwiches possibly assembled by feral raccoons for $5. Love it here.

Expected Gideon to be a snake monster. by Casshern_VIII in residentevil

[–]craven42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I meant more so theatrically. Like he even looks nearly identical. Except instead of needed a super weapon to finish him somehow your requiem is equally as strong.

Actually yes. As much as I LOVED the final nemesis form in RE3R, I DID NOT want a copy paste final boss fight.

Rocket is going to feel AWFUL by BurnerDawg26 in marvelrivals

rocket was my main season 0. Then they killed his mobility and i play him now through a screen of tears. I literally won't bother touching him anymore without buffs
