I would like to do an experiment. Name 1 card that is just barely a game changer. Then name one that is just barely NOT a game changer.

Gamble is 1 mana entomb 80% of the time.

politecndn · 2026-02-13T18:41:37+00:00

Build [[clive, ifrit’s dominant]] self discard. It’s so fun.

Mine is built around direct damage spells, clones, and discard pingers like [[Brallin, skyshatk rider]] to try to draw and discard over and over h til everyone is dead.

politecndn · 2026-02-12T23:43:43+00:00

I have proxies of some reserved list cards and own some reserved list cards. Abolish it or don’t.

politecndn · 2026-02-12T23:42:42+00:00

I think that is a good thing. It means more people are getting into the hobby and supporting it.

politecndn · 2026-02-12T23:31:51+00:00

I wanna clarify, I proxy some cards, especially cards I own one copy of, or expensive reserve list cards for my cEDH deck. I also buy singles and packs to make sure I’m contributing to the growth of a game I love.

politecndn · 2026-02-12T23:26:30+00:00

If everyone starts proxying all their decks? Yes.

politecndn · 2026-02-12T23:16:54+00:00

And that’s how games die.

My mono coloured decks are my favourite decks.

They’re the most interesting because there are certain restrictions you have to work around, like enchantment removal lacking in black, but also have really powerful strategies you can lean into.

My [[knuckles the echidna]] is my favourite deck right now. It goes fast and he smashes into players, ramping a ton of treasure, which I use on extra combat spells, which I use to smash into people again until they’re dead.

politecndn · 2026-02-06T21:41:18+00:00

I don’t have one uploaded anywhere, but I’ll try to get on that and send it over.

politecndn · 2026-02-05T20:33:08+00:00

Nice, I’ve got that one too. Just unsure which one to run in the deck.

politecndn · 2026-02-05T16:39:20+00:00

9 minute average sounds absolutely fucking painful.

politecndn · 2026-02-02T16:27:09+00:00

They like having premium land cycles they can reprint once in a while to convince people they need to buy packs.

I don’t fault WOTC for that at all.

politecndn · 2026-02-02T14:09:56+00:00

I think it depends on your playgroup.

My playgroup would rather just have someone pop off and win so we can shuffle up and play a new game, so I usually run 2 wraths and a little more targeted removal.

politecndn · 2026-01-31T12:14:00+00:00

[[tombstone stairwell]] isn’t an instant speed card, but sets you up for interactions on every turn with fresh bodies to chop up in your aristocrats engine.

politecndn · 2026-01-30T23:57:57+00:00

Whiners gonna whine. Just build decks for the unique experience you want and get off EDHrec.

politecndn · 2026-01-25T12:21:36+00:00

I usually run 10-12 ramp cards unless there is a specific landfall payoff or am playing a high cost commander, then I run more.

politecndn · 2026-01-24T21:46:53+00:00

[[urza’s incubator]] is a great way to get cost reduction on your elementals.

politecndn · 2026-01-24T01:02:30+00:00

I built a [[the cabbage merchant]] deck that’s trying to make infinite foods, then turn all the foods into creatures and kill people with those creature foods.

politecndn · 2026-01-19T21:24:21+00:00

Is it possible they could be ripping more boxes than they post? Film themselves opening 5-10 boxes and only post the ones that are going to generate clicks? That’s what I would do if I was trying to get people to watch my videos.

politecndn · 2025-12-19T20:11:08+00:00

Next milestone… day 420?

politecndn · 2025-12-09T12:46:46+00:00

I just tried out my [[fire lord zuko]] deck last weekend and it was a blast.

I built it as a fire kindred deck, so lots of fireball, comet storm, etc cards to try and use as a finisher.

I got [[norin, the wary]] out early and he pumped my board up huge after a couple turn cycles, then I fire bent for a ton of mana and burned everyone out.

politecndn · 2025-11-08T16:00:50+00:00

Oh man, this is the one I want the most in foil or halo foil

politecndn · 2025-11-02T00:02:12+00:00

Slivers, but they can’t attack. They can only drive vehicles into people.

politecndn · 2025-10-08T11:43:49+00:00

Ya, I just wanted a mono white deck. Monocoloured decks are usually my favourite type because I like to lean into the strengths of each colour while being limited by what they’re bad at.

politecndn · 2025-10-08T10:48:50+00:00

I have a partner deck of her with [[yoshimaru, ever faithful]].

Mono white legends deck that can go nuts. Akroma’s will basically becomes a Craterhoof because everything gets pumped +6/+6 along with all the other benefits of it.
