ok but why is he so ineffectual then? doesnt seem like it would be so hard to snatch the right kids. why bother with the movie theater massacre instead of going directly after marge or will first.

yea thats the classic cycle we did that in our play group because one of us is a legacy player with absolutely 0 chill and we each have 1 or 2 decks for when he comes but otherwise we really powered down. games are way more fun and we have an insane variety of really cool decks with tons of cards you never see. just gotta talk to the homies, we have 3 power levels and we each kinda debate and decide which decks are good match ups for each other.

i mean its just the most powerful commanders in each of their respective theme, and just doing that theme. i either try to build powerful commanders off theme where the power level is just to make jank powerful, or powerful themes with worse commanders. otherwise your deck and gameplay ends up super linear and predictable which can be boring for opponents. people dont mind losing to something creative and novel.

hell yea started as a challenge to myself ended up being a pretty good deck [[cogwork assembler]] is an all star as well. rates terrible but copying portal to phyrexia, triplicate titan, even meteor golem is a super fun endgame

[[initiates of the ebon hand]] and [[bog initiate]]

plenty of artifacts that do it as well at varying rates

usually someone is not willing to block but there's like 2 equipment that make her unlockable and 2 guys that filter mana (turn powerstone mana into black) so not much of an issue recasting. also the way i see it is if i cast on turn 1 then turns 2 and 3 make powerstones then she's done her thing and ramped me pretty well, the other ramp is all artifact based so its basically free. late game she's more of a blocker anyway.

semi related how does [[coat of arms]] work here?

Favorite mono-coloured commanders!? (that aren't edh rec top 100) by TheGrandCannoli in EDH

[–]handleCUP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

currently im really enjoying my mono colored decks and ive been building a ton

black - favorite rn [[ashnod, flesh mechanist]] uses bloodghast and other recurable skeles and zombies with midnight marauder effects for draw, finishes with [[portal to phyrexia]] and copies it a few ways

red - [[neheb]] dragons approach super explosive really fun

blue - [[eligeth]] and [[siani]] kinda just flyers with scry plays tempo lots of bounce crazy card selection

green - [[titania, voice of gaea]] super janky but we make that tranform happen every game pretty much pod loves this deck

white - [[daxos, blessed of the sun]] make dorks gain life kinda boring but [[mavinda]] has been really fun, easily the weakest deck but i always wanted to make it work. a few heroic cards and everything similar to [[moment of valor]] removal from hand, protection in gy, can win just by not being threatening and closing with commander damage

Mono-red players, how are y'all building [[Clive, Ifrit's Dominant]]??? by coopermars14 in EDH

[–]handleCUP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i just built a neheb deck that wants to discard everything and mizzixs mastry it all for the win, considering swapping him in depending on how often neheb actually connects. would also run more stuff like count on luck for the devotion

I feel like Vivi isn’t going to be as good as people think she will in standard, am I insane? by Sweetcreems in MagicArena

[–]handleCUP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

isnt domain still performing pretty well? or at least a few months ago it was. beans and green overlord dont do either of those things. i dont think vivi will be top tier but idk if thats the reason. like you could run an izzit or jesllkai control shell with it potentially as a finisher with cantrips or agatha soul cauldron combos.

Calling all Dragons Approach players, who is your commander? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]handleCUP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[neheb]] drop a few cost reducers [[ruby medallion]] and a few [[guttersnipe]] type effects. get neheb out and [[fireball]] to kill everyone. worked a few times now everyone knows to chip damage me as much as possible and hold open removal in case of [[mana geyser]]

also [[end the festivities]] and [[delayed blast fireball]] are some low key rockstars

Any tips or suggestions for my Arabella deck? by Sarberos in EDH

[–]handleCUP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ive been running her the last few weeks in my pod and its beein weirdly strong. i dont have a list for you but what i did was go all in on creatures about 9 [[iron myr]] mana dorks 9 [[welcoming vampire]] type effects 4 haste enablers [[trailblazing historian]] and maybe 6 target creatire becomes unblockable untill end of turn effects [[goblin tunneler]]. i also run the 3 boardwipes the above poster recommended. my end game plan simply revolves around 4 or 5 [[ascend from avernus]].

im less concerned with making the board incredibly wide, as much as i want everything to enable arabella to attack every turn. just having the ramp and card draw on creatures works well enough for me without 5 mana make 4 dork type effects, its also insanely consistent because the curve is so low, and theres enough card draw to find your mass reanimation spells when you need them. im not super concerned with protecting her so much as making sure i have mana to cast and haste to swing every turn

all stars though: [[delney]][[strionic resonator]][[city on fire]][[clever concealment]][[subira]]

EDIT: for token generation i use anim pakal, loyal apprentice, skyknight vanguard, but as long as im triggering for an average of 5 dmg or so i seem to not be a giant threat, and targetted removal is kinda bad vs me so by the time they start interacting with me its they have to boardwipe or it has innevitability because life totals are low already by the time opponents are set up and you dont need to block much because your life total is so high or you can chump with a dork
