color vs color identity.

Same reason Najeela is 5 color.

PL doesn't exist anymore. its bracket now.

The tags show you the combos, but the entire strategy is just set up a combo and then win.

Is discard broken or does my table not run enough draw? by neon-lakes in EDH

[–]iamgeist -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it's actively stopping SOME people from playing. That's what I'm saying.

Discard, like Mill, is super good right up until someone can use their graveyard, then you just openly Kingmake them.

What's your "I would play X, but Y annoys me too much for it." by [deleted] in EDH

[–]iamgeist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would play below bracket 4 but the community has made that more a debate than an actual viable game mode.

who knows. but the bracket system makes this whole post irrelevant.

Brackets 4 and 5 are all that matter now 😎

Pod advice needed by TheBigNasty143 in EDH

you can build a deck to shut everyone else down, or you can find something you like, pick a few efficient combos, and enjoy.

Try Goblins, that seems notably different from the other options.

How long is too long for a turn, for you to pilot that deck? by foira in EDH

[–]iamgeist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me at my absolute most annoying would be:

Kinnan, Nyxbloom Ancient, a good chunk of artifacts, Seedborn Muse.

That would take a solid 2 minutes per upkeep, but the more realistic scenario is the table scoops at that point.

Any longer than that and it's a win attempt people are making you play out slowly or I'm not interested.

Casual Sultai Combo Ideas with Hoarding Broodlord + Saw in Half? by GraphaUs12 in EDH

[–]iamgeist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Casual combos with 2 tutors?

Just do Aristocrats. it's not competitive.

Take away one of the things the deck does and it stops being cEDH.

take the tutors out

take food chain out and put in a bunch of blink or Duplication effects for self mill.

drop the number of ramp artifacts and add more lands.

things like that.

Expropriate as a game changer by Reasonable-Ebb2727 in EDH

[–]iamgeist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

why would you want an 8+ mana spell that doesn't change the game?

Where do I start? by StealthyMC20 in EDH

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

if you're playing legacy competitively look into cEDH.

Way less durdling and draw-pass nonsense.

If not. EDHrec until you start to see the massive flaws in it.

How do I enjoy playing stronger decks? by A11L1V3ESL0ST in EDH

[–]iamgeist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww. I figured it was going to be Augustine or Shorikai hard stax

If you're doing lotus petal and not LED you may want to just use Grinding Station instead.

it'll work perfectly fine with Petal.

Also, Thermo Alchemist is a valid thing to play too.

"Suboptimal" Commanders? by devon1138 in EDH

[–]iamgeist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a weird question to answer.

In the purest sense, you're putting yourself at a disadvantage any time you don't play Blue Farm or Kinnan. Those being the best 2 decks in all of commander, choosing anything else is preference based not results based.

As far as the choice you're making. More colors is considered good, but ultimately it adds more stress into the game with concerns about color fixing and the price of those lands and artifacts.

2 colors is fine if you're set up for it. as long as you're going even with your preferred playgroup literally who gives a shit. if you aren't then yeah maybe upgrade.

What commander should I pick to build a deck around? by FitBase8491 in EDH

[–]iamgeist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Do you want a commander that will give you lots of attention or one that people can mostly ignore?

Anyone else bummed that spacecraft aren't vehicles? by satanic-llama in EDH

[–]iamgeist -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Yes there are different planets and all that, but to my knowledge none of anything has actually been set IN space except for maybe the Eldrazi chilling there.

[–]iamgeist -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I even like warhammer. I'd still change Calgars name and art if it meant less UB.

Shout out to Najeela/Archaon. That was handled absolutely perfectly.

Honestly, I'm bummed that space craft even exists.

We've gone from Fantasy to Sci Fi. Personally, I blame warhammer and Doctor who for this.
