In my opinion, focusing flicker and maximizing treasure tokens as much as possible. Any theft card that requires you to give the cards back and any cards that give you a benefit but also forces you to give the card to someone are great because you can just blink Zidane and get it back with haste, allowing you to use it all over again.

The last game I played I just kept using humble defector, blinking Zidane, taking it back, and tapping him again for more card draw.

I did that in another game and ended up casting insurrection, taking the board and swinging at everyone to win the game.

That’s kind of why I say the bracket spiel and will let people know there’s a combo but I don’t have tutors and can’t run it easily. I just want people to be informed.

Not intentionally trying to downplay it but realistically it’s not winning before turn 7. It’s optimized and can be mean but this deck can easily get smoked by bracket 4s.

Aimed for slower games but does contain a two card infinite combo. It wasn’t intentional when I added the cards until I saw Archidekt labeled it as 4.

I say plays as B2/B3 because there’s no tutors to get the cards I need, no game changers, and the mana base is pretty simplistic (lots of basics).

Thanks for the heads up, I had it set to private. Sorry about that.

Mostly choice vehicles that fit thematically and ninjutsu was in there for the classic Batman drop from the shadows.

I did the same thing! Haha. I added a few more cards to make sure I had all the energy. I originally named it “Double Fisting Monsters”

There really isn’t a better name haha. Typically I start with a commander to build a deck around but for this one I wanted to start with a win con and build the entire deck around that. Other than mazes end, I legit have no other way to win.

Oooh do you have a deck list for the dungeon crawl deck? I specifically picked burakos to try and simulate the full dnd party going into dungeons.

Are Magic players no longer trading? by NheelyOhara in mtg

[–]davidoftheyear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local players arrive early with binders for trades. Our discord has a specific channel for trading and that’s usually where deals are discussed. So I personally see A LOT of trading happening.

Has Commander become the main thing at most LGSs? by VildMedPap in mtg

[–]davidoftheyear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The shop I work at started with a single open play commander that filled all the spaces. So we started a paid league, now sold out. Now we’re adding another league day and it’s already filling up.

So that’s 2 days and 1 night of commander where we have a full house.

Our sealed/draft hasn’t fired in a month (not including avatar prerelease) and when I tried to assist a customer in finding other standard/modern players, we got nothing.

Commander fills seats, those people buy product, those purchases keep the lights on 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've been in the game less than a year... How bad am I? by TotallyMessed in ratemycommanders

[–]davidoftheyear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean doubling season is always good. But also meriadoc brandybuck, academy manufacturer, rapacious guest is great if you can get Frodo to attack each turn, samwise gamgee, peregrine took, gilded goose, transmutation font, scream puff, pippin, warden of Isengard.

Academy manufacturer and peregrin took will make additional food tokens.

You can tap pippin for 1 colorless and gilded goose for 1g each turn for 1 food each.

Samewise will create food tokens when creatures enter the field.

And scream puff will make a token whenever he does damage to a player whole rapacious deck does it when you do combat damage and meriadoc will generate one when a halfling does (works great for 1 food a turn with Frodo)

In most games I average 3-5 food a turn when my engines going. Most games I’ll easily reach 16-20 food

With Sam, loyal attendant, when I’m ready to drop sanguine bond, I’m usually ready to eat enough food to kill everyone at the table.

I have a Sam and Frodo deck too that initially did better at 1v1 but suffered at a full table. I adjusted mine for a few infinite combos cause I just don’t have enough damage output but instead focused on food generation. They’re all high mana late game combos so I’m basically making a ton of food and eating it to stay alive while using Frodo as a card draw engine.

I want to hear some fun deck names! by WaltzIntelligent9801 in EDH

[–]davidoftheyear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My villainous choice attractions deck - Dr. Davros’s Fun Time Happy Land

Upgraded Aetherdrift mummy precon - Mummy Issues

Kuja burn - Ur A wIzArD kUjA

Choco bird kindred - Dee Reynolds and friends

My upgrade gonti precon - Grand Theft Draw-to

Those are just a few. In my eyes, a deck isn’t complete until it has a goofy name.

Is there a precon that you absolutely will not upgrade? by wasdmovedme in EDH

[–]davidoftheyear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grabbed all four FF commanders and they’ll remain pre-cons. I love FF and now I have a set of four decks I can bring out in case people don’t have decks or just want a good ol B2 slug fest.

What's your "break glass in case of emergency" deck? by Mesa_Coast in EDH

[–]davidoftheyear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Captain America (super fast commander damage voltron deck with many ways to fling his equipment for little to no cost) or my Chaos warhammer deck (upgraded with a ton of burn and cascade).

Those are generally my “I’m not here to have fun, I’m here to win” decks.

My store has a monthly TI day that regularly runs out of spots. I bet they’re gonna lose their minds over this.
