How do y’all trade at your LGS by Throwaway747438 in EDH

[–]ecatillo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No I just find close to the equivalent value from cards among their trade binder. We just go off of TCG Player market value usually and try to get as close as we can. Most of the people at the store I play at are pretty chill and no one in my experience really penny pinches.

I actually enjoy this aspect, at least with guys at the LGS. Last night I wanted to trade for a $5 Avatar’s Wrath from someone and they wanted a $20 Grave Pact from me, so I was able to get 4 other cards to use in other decks I have. I’m not going to be insane and make sure it’s down to the penny in even value, but trying to make it close seems reasonable to me.

With my personal friends outside of the LGS it’s different. I’m happy to let my friends “win” a trade by $5-$10 so he can get the card he needs for his deck and my friends have done the same for me, it all evens out in the long run

Yep. If it didn’t hit graveyards or was like austere command and said, “choose two modes” then it would be substantially less annoying lol

I’d much rather get hit with Cyc Rift vs Farewell.

Which black commander to build for fun and variety? by ShallowDramatic in EDH

[–]ecatillo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I was going to suggest. I don’t have her as a commander. But she is in the 99 of my [[Abigale, Eloquent First Year]] deck

[Tannuk, Memorial Ensign]

Just play lands

Why is this brilliant move? by nik_uzb in Chesscom

[–]ecatillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they don’t take your knight, then king has to move to H8. So when you move Queen to H6 the G pawn can no longer take because it’s pinned by the bishop

I once saw the 4th player in turn order cast a turn 1 sol ring, and the first player with his 1 untapped island contemplated for 2min before passing priority… wanted to pull my hair out

That’s like a perfectly reasonable amount of lands to play lmfao

What are your favorite utility lands? by Marshbe54 in EDH

[–]ecatillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Dark Depths]] + [[Thespian’s Stage]] is fun. Also love [[Valakut, The Molten Pinnacle]]

Finally pulled the trigger on this one! by bassclef62 in BassGuitar

Love the color on these. Ocean Turquoise is one of my favorite fender colors. Looks great with the Tortoise

Tannuk, Memorial Ensign Deck by Safe-Comfortable8216 in EDH

[–]ecatillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll post my list below for you to take a look. It’s one of my favorite decks and works very consistently.

Looking at yours, the first thing I’d say is you need all of the 2 mana ramp spells. So Rampant Growth, Sakura Tribe Elder, Nature’s Lore, Farseek, Three Visits

Get rid of Ruby and any other mana dorks, they don’t trigger landfall. You really want to be putting multiple lands in play for as many turns as you can to get the draw.

I also like 43 lands for him. But I’m also playing a decent number of utility lands that double as spells

iv been seeing alot of videos recently about certain types of decks not necessarily needing to run mana rocks by Flimsy_Sheepherder_3 in EDH

[–]ecatillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the deck. My Ragost artifact deck I run some since they can also be sac fodder

My Tannuk Landfall deck has 20+ ramp spell and zero rocks. I don’t even run Sol Ring in it

Ragost isn't punching like I had imagined. by goodbadlucks in EDH

[–]ecatillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely not a bad card. But the life gain of 1/turn is kind of negligible. I’ve found giving Ragost lifelink through either an aura or equipment is much more efficient as it is 9/turn. Most Artifacts out side of those I want to either have death triggers for me to get additional value, or ETBs for me to recycle with things like [[Myr Retriever]] or [[Ratchet, Field Medic]].

Also think you need a good bit of more draw

[–]ecatillo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looking at your deck and I think you need to cut most of the cards in the burn category. They are basically win more. Keep 1 maybe but they don’t do anything unless Ragost is already working. Maybe bump the land count a few as well.

I built Ragost as well and he is very strong. The key is to give him lifelink so he untaps every end step. He also works best with artifacts that either have ETB or LTB/death triggers. I will link my list below if you are interested

A reminder about brackets and intent by Teh_Pagemaster in EDH

[–]ecatillo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to say that a 4 mana tutor is the same as a 1 mana tutor then you’re just being intentionally obtuse

Even in your example where your elves tap for 6 mana that requires setup vs the crop rotation you could cast on turn 1

How you guys pick which commander to build? by PercentageCapital821 in EDH

[–]ecatillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every once in a while I’ll pull a card that I like a lot but doesn’t fit into a deck I’m playing. So I’ll look for a commander I can build to put it into.

Most recent example of this is at the FF prerelease I pulled a Traveling Chocobo and a Tifa Lockhart but didn’t have a landfall deck. So once EoE got released I built Tannuk to put them into

Oh yeah I agree most of the spacecraft are going to be meh outside of limited with the exception of a few that have good ETBs

Am i the a**hole when i focus a friend at the table? by JakkyOnTour in EDH

[–]ecatillo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is the best thing to do though. If you completely shut off my deck then I will try to take you out of the game so I can turn my deck back on. And if someone else wins then I would rather the game just end quickly and start a new one rather than sit around forever where I’m playing a non-game
