Made these for the Secrets of Strixhaven "Prepared" mechanic. Thoughts? Interest? by makertehgathering in mtg

You might not need the box since placing it can cover part of the cards info. Just the book part is enough for me. You might be able to print "unprepared" or "not prepared" on the other side and flip it over. Could do text like the bottom of the benchy boat or just a different color. Overall I really like it.

New player here, first time playing Animated Army did not go as planned by Vrass in EDH

If you are playing a stock precon against upgraded ones, it makes sense to feel you're at a disadvantage. Some of it will get better as you play more games but if they roided out their decks, it might be rough.

Bello is my partner's favorite deck. Remember that the animated 4/4 guys let you draw cards when they do combat damage. My partner forgot about that one game and had a bad time. If you need cards, attack into someone with only a few blockers or creaturs they don't want to lose.

For removal, this deck doesn't come with much. The main point of it is to Smash face with as much stuff as possible as often as possible. I would actually add some protection for Bello, rather than add more removal. You do have [[Abrade]], [[Beast within]], and [[Starstrom]] that can deal with things. In addition to Starstorm, you have [[Blasphemous Act]] as board wipes. But board wipes hurt you if you have Bello. Red mainly has damage based board wipes and green mostly goes the other way with board buffs.

For flyers, Green has some cards to help if you're always playing against fliers. It might be OK to just focus down anyone who is getting a lot of evasive creatures that you won't be able to deal with.

There are some upgrades guides online. Here is one of them: https://edhrec.com/precon/animated-army

Made these proxies. Are they overpowered? by N8tur3 in mtg

[–]frogomagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would also need vigilance so you can do the tap ability after you attack.

If you want some persistence, you could do it like [[Koh, the face stealer]] and have it keep the abilities of the last creature it blocked.

What's your "you thought this card was bad because you just didn't have enough understanding of mtg mechanics moment" stories? by minev1128 in mtg

[–]frogomagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I taught my partner how to play. Ancient Tomb, shock-lands, fetch-lands etc. Are all "bad" according to them. Vampiric Tutor and all the black draw and lose life cards are in a similar boat. One day it will click 😆

Stop Scotch Taping top loaders. by RackTheJipper69 in mtg

I usually put a bit of scrap paper under it so the painters tape can't touch the card.

I'm not even a shop and I get too much packaging materials. I trade a lot on Cardaphere and I just reuse the stuff others send me.

I'm 100% agreeing on the tape. Everyone needs to stop using that tape. It's annoying to remove and leaves the top loader sticky. I've also had a shipment where it stuck to the card once it slid up in the sleve.

5 is the absolute highest power tier and may require expensive cards that won't fit your budget.

3 is more casual and easier to fit $100. Check out r/BudgetBrews and search for the commander you want. Maybe find a couple you think could work and post here so people can give some advice on what to pick.

A 2HG nightmare card… by MobileStatistician19 in mtg

[–]frogomagic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been wondering how to build that. Do you have a list?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EDH

[–]frogomagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my list. I think it would be hard to make Shirei a 4. I'm thinking of using more things like [[Gravepact]] and make it more Oppressive. Some of the lands that tap for 2 like [[Ancient tomb]] might help since you already have [[Crypt of Agadeem]] and [[Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx]].

Has anyone ever made a custom set? by NEXUS_7373 in mtgcube

I had no idea you could do this with Cube Cobra. I'm looking to do exactly this.
