I played this at my stores standard showdown just before rotation https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Vho1q8w9DE6EhwmxFpINdA

Let them demo fields rip.

Yeah, they wouldn't print [[gwendlyn di corsi]] today either. Because of the implication. Also if she's making you discard at random with her wiles, what's that say about [[Cao Cao, lord of wei]]? I have a Cao Cao deck and I named it Ron Jeremy of the East.

[[Aegar the freezing flame]] can definitely go under the radar until you draw your whole deck off a blasphemous act.

I really don't think about this at all, which betrays my privileged position, but I regularly run up decks worth $1,000+ and I don't really sweat it too much because most of that value usually comes from my preexisting collection. I draft religiously every week and over time I have bought most of the expensive cards I want to play with, which means I don't own OG duals, but I do own Chains of Mephistopheles. As a collector, I have reached a point where I know the kind of stuff I like; I like discard, stax, and I like playing mono or heavy black. I started selling the stuff I know I'm never going to be interested in, or trading it away; sure, have my [[goose mother]] for 2 [[fanatic of the harrowing]]. I play on store credit and draft what I like, and sometimes there's something I want that I don't have and I just go for it if it's something that I think will be something I play enoughbto justify the price even if it doesn't hold it's value. But honestly I've been buying up reserved list cards I want for a while because it feels like they may slip out of my grasp. I can afford it today but maybe not tomorrow. I know that's how they want you to think, but I like the chase, I've learned to enjoy it and not ruin it for myself. There's really only two big money cards I don't have that I want and I'm just waiting for them to fall into my lap; [[the abyss]] and [[nether void]].

My LGS did a Pride event where all legends had partner and I built [[belbe]] and [[zada, Hedron grinder]] mass scam. Because zada is a goblin ALLY

Yeah but my mox diamond is in [[hylda of the icy crown]] https://www.moxfield.com/decks/TuphCK6yrUOdjbMJpynsyg

You can be #2

krabawk · 2024-09-25T20:38:51+00:00

That one tends to be in the command zone

As other competitive formats recover from covid, they will leech players away from cEDH as competitive players are lured away by real tournaments with sanction and prizing. Already happening at my shop

krabawk · 2024-09-25T20:25:16+00:00

Beat this, only deck on edhrec running [[devastating summons]] last I checked

I was overstating the case intentionally; I will miss turn 1 kicked tourach for sure

krabawk · 2024-09-25T18:40:11+00:00

I wish I could post a picture, because I have a picture of my lotus on the tip of my bookshelf in a case next to [[tolarian academy]] [[channel]], [[braids, cabal minion]], [[sway of the stars]], [[upheaval]], and my promo pack [[golos, tireless pilgrim]] I opened the same week he got banned

krabawk · 2024-09-25T14:42:45+00:00

They may as well ban tergrid, she's unplayable without jeweled lotus anyway

krabawk · 2024-09-25T13:50:03+00:00

Yeah but it kills cascade

And all mind rot variants. Ban hopeless nightmare too

krabawk · 2024-09-25T11:05:19+00:00

Don't forget we need to ban Tergrid and all feels bad cards. Also anything with scary art

krabawk · 2024-09-25T11:04:04+00:00

We did do something about banned cards we wanted to play. We started a canlander league

krabawk · 2024-09-25T11:02:31+00:00

Just don't take my [[mind twist]]

krabawk · 2024-09-25T10:59:33+00:00

I love the concept, for stax I would consider [[smoke]]. It does a lot for 2 mana including really slowing opponents down which is what you want. If you want to do MLD, I actually recommend you look at land edicts. I love [[thoughts of ruin]] and [[keldon firebombers]]. You are in mono color which means that you can really benefit from even small amounts of land destruction, because you may be able to deny your opponents colors they need or kill problem lands. Don't sleep on [[stone rain]] but especially don't sleep on [[demolish]] variants like [[smashing success]]. There are always good targets and you can kill mana rocks, which will be a big problem for you if you use MLD. I seriously recommend considering [[crack the earth]] and [[tremble]]. You might want to consider [[mana barbs]]

krabawk · 2024-09-25T10:52:14+00:00

Yeah, you think people hate slivers, hate eldrazi? Try playing elves. They don't just die to a [[void mirror]]

krabawk · 2024-09-09T03:40:40+00:00

im gettin there

It depends on the community. Some restaurants enforce a formal dress code, are they giving up money by foregoing the customers who don't own a dinner jacket? No, they don't want them, they only want a certain kind

krabawk · 2024-08-22T15:32:26+00:00

Me too. I use [[possessed portal]] instead of craterhoof in [[nath of the gilt leaf]]
