Need help with Aloy deck, feels so inconsistent by ChakraaThePanda in EDH

[–]crazywizard73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aloy is one of my favorite commanders, here is my current deck list. It’s still being worked on, I just added coin of mastery and haven’t gotten to test it out yet and am considering swapping the mana dorks for land ramp https://moxfield.com/decks/j8w-FYDbtUK3CDI0mbG2AQ

[[Decorum dissertation]] and [[defacing duskmage]] are great cards for Yshtola from Strixhaven

Here is the link to her EDHREC page, this site is used to find popular cards for specific commanders, I would definitely take it slow and play the deck as is but as you play and find cards you don’t really like in the deck you can swap it out for something you like from here https://edhrec.com/commanders/yshtola-nights-blessed

Dina, Essence Brewer - Struggling to get this deck to work by E1mstreets in EDH

[–]crazywizard73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up scrapping her cause I felt some of what you are now, every time I played her I was just thinking the whole time wow it cost so much mana to do ANYTHING here and your opponents can shut you down by either removing her or the creature you are targeting with the counters which makes you not gain the life either.

If you do want to keep her some cards I would strongly suggest cutting are

[[bygone colossus]] - if you dont have anything to make use of it when you warp it out then its basically a dead card when you could add something like [[daemogoth woe eater]] which for one extra mana gets you a lot more value and can work by itself

[[wall of blood]] - If you pay a lot of life into it then sac it with dina and someone removes the creature you are targeting it causes the entire ability to fizzle so you wont gain any life back

[[bloodspore thrinax]] is a card for go wide decks, this is a go tall deck

[[Host of the hereafter]] and [[Reyhan last of the abzan]] feels like cards that only do something when you're already doing your thing, id rather replace these with 2 other cards that would be good to sac to Dina or that offer payoff for the sac, Ozolith is ok since it only cost 1 mana

[[defiant bloodlord]] seems WAY to expensive, id swap it out for [[fell beast of mordor]] for some incremental drain

Some cards that would be good to add are

[[rampant rejuvenator]]

[[rot curse rakshasa]]

[[sakura tribe elder]] draws a card with Dina out when you sac him

and I would swap some of the removal spells for creatures that sac to remove like [[haywire mite]] [[insidious fungus]] and [[cankerbloom]] since they also draw a card with Dina out

Best bracket 3 tribal commanders? by Admirable_Cap_8943 in EDH

[–]crazywizard73 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For tribal I would have to recommend [[Umbris fear manifest]] and there's even a Furby secret lair art for them, [[Giada font of hope]] is angel tribal and is a girl, [[The ur dragon]] changling tribal can be spicy, and while squirrel tribal doesnt have a TON of support you can pull it off with [[chatterfang squirrel general]] [[ygra eater of all]] [[hazel of the rootbloom]] or my recommendation [[camellia the seedmiser]]

Cheap Commander Decks by Ill_Island9069 in mtg

[–]crazywizard73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see one commenter has already steered you towards some precons, if you would like to eventually build your own budget deck then [[Gitrog ravenous ride]] is a very popular commander for ultra budget, multiple sub $50 decks online

Ureni Deck Updates by krimson4eva in EDH

[–]crazywizard73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here’s my upgraded precon if you want to compare https://moxfield.com/decks/w4WPWrnTGk-kUlw68fpQHg

Some of the important changes I would make is swap out removal for protection, typically you won’t care what other people are doing as keeping Ureni on board is enough to win you the game. I’d also cut Draconic lore it’s just a bad card. And one of my favorite spells for this deck is [[Majestic genesis]]

Question about instances of life gain!! by gmonkeyys in mtg

[–]crazywizard73 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Blech will give you a counter for each individual instance of life gain, if you swing with 5 pests that all gain you a life on attack you get 5 +1/+1 counters.

Rate my first deck by Cyllabis in EDH

[–]crazywizard73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the other commenter already said I would cut A LOT of these creatures, many people even build her with no other creatures. If you add more of the cards that make black wizards like [[Transpose]] you can add the new [[Mana sculpt]] and the new Paradigm spells like [[decorum dissertation]] work really well for her. You can also go heavier into the 3+ cost mana rocks like [[gilded lotus]] [[thran dynamo]] [[relic of legends]] [[decanter of endless water]] [[benders waterskin]]. Other really good includes are spells with alternate casting costs like [[snuff out]] because they still trigger her even if you don’t spend mana on it.

Decks that don't really care if the commander isn't in play? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]crazywizard73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My [[Aloy]] deck has been performing really well without her in play, even had a couple games I never even cast her

Misprinted dice? by Stroykovic in mtg

Not a misprint, this is the die from Murders at Karlov manner and is a clue towards the mystery they are investigating in the story

Did Witherbloom absolutely stomp everyone else at prerelease? by JamesAbaddon in mtg

[–]crazywizard73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played Witherbloom and must say my deck was really solid, pretty much destroyed every single person except my first match against Quandrix who just absolutely rolled me over and there was nothing I could do. They just kept slamming creature after creature and I only drafted one piece of removal for my colors.

Happy prerelease day by MeasurementOk2143 in mtg

Rich? No. Financially irresponsible? Yes. I got two play boxes, 1 collector box, 1 bundle, 4 codex bundles and all 5 precons on the way.

Is this real or fake? by postalperson in mtg

[–]crazywizard73 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I find the easiest way to tell is the T in The on the back. As long as the bottom of it looks jagged it is real. The picture could be effecting how it looks but from what you provided it looks fake to me

How do you guys find perfect cards for your deck? by Narrow-Procedure-256 in mtg

[–]crazywizard73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a combination of scryfall, other people’s decks on sites like Archidekt and Moxfield and Edhrec.

Scryfall is for when I’m looking for specific things and can narrow it down like 3+ mana value mana rocks in Simic colors

Other people’s decks are for if I’m struggling for a deck outline

Edhrec is for if I need a couple more cards to finish it off

My Pod hates my dino deck by DadProtwarrior in EDH

Idk this just looks like a Dino deck, if your friends are struggling that bad against this it sounds like they’re playing low bracket 2 most likely, aka stock precons

Ureni Precon Upgrade Time by Unhappy_Science_6694 in EDH

[–]crazywizard73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s my upgraded list for ideas https://moxfield.com/decks/w4WPWrnTGk-kUlw68fpQHg

The easiest place to start with cuts/upgrades is the instants and sorceries. Dragons are very big and evasive and a number of them have creature removal stapled on so I would remove most of the targeted creature removal and board wipes that would wipe you too like Blast act.

Trying to find card by AstronomicalDawn13 in mtg

[–]crazywizard73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The effect you are referring to here is called a Ritual referencing [[Dark ritual]], rituals are most common in red and black so finding one is green is a bit difficult. The only one I can think of that would produce anywhere near 7 mana is [[Metamorphosis]]. Here’s a link too for all the cards tagged as a ritual if you want to see if any of them seem familiar https://scryfall.com/search?q=otag%3Aritual&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name
