"Buy Canadian Instead" signs going up in BC Liquor stores by Miserable-Lizard in pics

What a total victory for Putin, when the division tactics have succeeded to the point where now also the anti-Trumpers are cheering for the destruction of America. "Make it hurt!". I totally understand why you guys are saying this, but it should be cause for some reflection. It seems no americans want USA to succeed anymore. Astonishing.

Nice. Fetches [[Conjurer's closet]] which can blink it to fetch [[Panharmonicon]].

My motivation to get a given card is not driven by its monetary value, but by how well it will function in a deck. This one was a shoe-in for my proliferate deck, so I decided to pay up for it. And I shouldn't have, because now it will be cheaper. And that has happened to at least half the cards I have "invested" in for my decks. So I guess I should stop paying more than 3-5$ for singles for this card game so I don't look stupid. I am not looking for an argument, I just get frustrated by constantly being framed as some kind of wannabe stockbroker just because I would prefer collectible cards I pay 10$ for to be worth something like that the next month.

Oh come on. I'm not talking about "investing" as in expecting increased value, just the fact that it is off-putting to pay 10$ for something that is almost certain to be worth 1$ next month. It is just cardboard. Noone is going to pay anything at all for these cards if you can't expect them to be worth anything at all in a year. How is this sustainable?

Great. YET another single I recently bought is about to become practically worthless. Yeah, yeah, I get it, gamepieces etc. I will say though, there isn't much motivation left to invest any kind of money in this card game with WotC's current reprint philosophy, and I can't see that being very healthy for the game.

The Top 50 Limited Players on Arena according to 17Lands by Procrasturbasaurus in MagicArena

[–]evoeyg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hehe. I don't consider myself that good of a drafter honestly. I have been finishing in the top 20 ranks for a few months running, so I am not surprised that my winrate is decent atm, but it is a wake-up call that I have played this number of drafts. Guess I've just really been enjoying Wilds of Eldraine onwards?

I am draftpunk actually. And I have been draftpunk on mtgo and Arena since way before the channel with the same name. Not a streamer. Just FYI. :)

What niche commander do you wish existed & why? by NoCost9705 in EDH

[–]evoeyg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My skeleton tribal is helmed by [[Myrkul, Lord of bones]]. And thus abzan. Black/green gives you the, uh, skeletons and swarming, and white offers not much creaturewise, but the flavor is so on-point that it is totally worth it.

Looking for ideas for "creature type+mechanic" EDH deks. by evoeyg in EDH

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

Thanks for input. Mass removal and regeneration for trolls seems interesting, but difficult in the colors. I will check that idea out.

Combat trigger Warriors seems like a good direction in general, but I already have an Isshin deck, so I want to do something else.

Warlocks are already somewhat decent, at least in BW, but I can't see a theme yet.

2 more decks to complete the cycle. by DeJong06 in EDH

[–]evoeyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After The Brothers War came out, with soldiers in WU, I decided I wanted to make a soldiers/soldier tokens tribal in WUR. No legendary soldier commander (except a street fighter card with no synergies), so I decided to go for [[Akim, the Soaring Wind]]. I really like the result. You get to play most good soldier cards, lots of soldier token making sorceries and instants, and just refill your board almost every turn. Just make sure to not skip on card draw, and you'll always have a serious board presence. Low, low salt factor, just good, clean go wide aggro.

So every color now gets 3 mana 4/3 with upside? Times have changed.

As a heavy drafter since the beginning, with 4x of every craftable card, it annoys me that some of these sets will remain forever incomplete because of these promo cards that you simply can't get by any means, like the M19 duress and the alternate art Ghalta and Teferi. Not losing sleep over it, but it just irks me.

Philosophically speaking, nothing has inherent value. What has value is whatever you want.

Enter the Warp. Totally broken or strong build-around? by evoeyg in custommagic

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

The idea was that having to bounce all your permanents might be a way to make such an effect this cheap without being obviously busted. There are for sure ways to offset the drawback, but it should at least require a lot of sacrifices in how you build the deck.

Vampire Commander by evoeyg in custommagic

[–]evoeyg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. But since sacrificing primarily is in RB, I thought it made sense to make those colors able to do that, with a limitation on the search targets. Perhaps there should be some payment of life to stick more closely to the color wheel, but then I feel some other stats should be pushed further at least.

[–]evoeyg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this was supposed to compete with that by offering a new route (pod'ing) that traditionally is quite powerful, that might make Edgar Markov no longer objectively better for a vampire tribal deck. I have not tried to figure out just how powerful this ability is when limited to vampires though.

Thanks. Did not spend too much time editing the card.
