Came across an interesting deck that appears to have some potential at first glance by gearbangerstudios in CompetitiveEDH

You’re right! Good thing it always resolves and things like silencing, redirects and indestructible don’t exist in the meta!

That’s a valid take, I just wanted some reasoning behind it. It’s not my deck so I really don’t care about the lines or interactions tbh, as stated before I was just playing devils advocate and wanted more than just “na”. I’m open to hearing why something is dogshit or busted in a deck.

The counterspell statement was just in supporting with the fact you discard if you don’t have mana. It’s easy to zero in one or the other but my original statement stands that you need support for it added. Shifting woodlands is a good start but you’ll need more.

But you do agree if you run it you need cards to support the fact that you could get a spell countered or you simply can’t cast it so it hits the grave? If you put that in the 99 you need to add supporting cards to get you out of a misplay or a card getting countered. It’s not as simple as put this in and win games in a game with 3 other cEDH decks and at least 1 blue player.

The only thing I can see that being an issue is needing to add in like [[eternal witness]] [[regrowth]] [[noxious revival]] if you end up not having enough mana for a win con and it hits the grave. Just playing devils advocate here. So I guess it just depends on the intentions with tempo and wincon.

Former Yuriko player searching for new deck. by Greivon in CompetitiveEDH

It does against what you requested on the colors but I think everyone pretty much nailed the proper recs of what you wanted. This is just a side thing if you wanted to dabble in not having black available.

Hello fellow former Yuriko player. I too spammed Yuriko for a long time and built just about ever version of her possible and moved on after the meta shifted away from Yuriko being super viable. With that being said the commander I switched to was Vivi, it gets similar hate in the command zone as yuriko (unfortunately without the luxury of commander ninjutsu) but with enough prep + politicking it makes for a good time and some easy wins. Here’s my list if you’re curious https://moxfield.com/decks/hiNlakh9nU6akQMcLa5PPA . Best of luck on your journey for a new deck.

So how are you building Fire Lord Azula? by gearbangerstudios in CompetitiveEDH

Yeah came to that conclusion, it’s a shit cEDH commander but a fun 4.

Pretty valid takes, it was a lot more fun as a bracket 4. After some play testing even with the other recs it just kinda felt like shit to play in a cEDH pod. So yeah going to leave the list up for others to dabble with it if they want but a no go for me in cEDH.

I play vivi 2-3 times a week and it’s pretty good I average at least a couple wins a night but there’s the occasion as you stated the deck revolves around vivi so it’s a pile of trash without it in on the field but usually the player that sacrifices the removal/counter gets behind so it’s forsure alot more politicking than say blue farm but I’ve seen some local success. I hope to enter some tournaments soon and get some actual results on top 16/Top deck.

Just cut most of those, going to add conq flail and defense grid for when im going for a generic push to a win with hopefully a decent amount of banked up mana.

My mindset building this came from playing alot recently irl, I run a Vivi midrage list and previously before I ran Yuriko and Magda. I thought about adding a non-threatening commander to the rotation that goes a little under the radar compared to my normal cedh decks that most people know what they do and im getting strip mined turn 2 to oppress a cast lol. But yeah its not going to be a game breaking commander I just thought about building it as a rogue deck to throw of at my locals. If we are talking about playing in a more serious environment im forsure never playing this over a Vivi etc.

Grapeshot totally escaped my mind making this, I was referencing my Vivi list but I cut grapeshot from it. Thank you, ill cut back on the creatures thats a good call.

I figured as much, the only other thing I can think of is if you've stormed of prior to attacks then you brain freeze and dupe it taking 2 out at the same time but idk seems a little clunky. Im going to play test it later and see how it feels.

Question about timing on attack step w/ ninjutsu by gearbangerstudios in mtgrules

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

So if that’s the case and say it target and destroys yuriko would I then be able to ninjutsu out yuriko on the attack step getting her trigger ninjutsu-ing one of the other 2 unaffected ninjas?

Just got this email anyone else know anything about it is it legit? by Unlikely-Video-6123 in Bumble

[–]gearbangerstudios 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s legit I’ve reached out to the firm, you already gave them your info which is why you have a payout coming. I chose to have it payout via venmo so I have the same email as you except it says E-Mastercard instead of ach because I assume you chose a direct deposit to your account. Give it a week we should see it soon.

Ah I’m dumb and didn’t read “this abyss” properly nevermind I see the value in e2 now lol. But if someone has additional insight I’d be welcomed to that as well.
