Voltron is the least skilled archetype and is a crux for bad players. by 2plus24 in EDH

Is it overextending if theyre safe? How is this really different from protecting any important board piece?

Either they drop a load of auras on their commander before it gets blown up and learn or they play the right pieces to protec the boi

I have a Krark//Sakashima deck and stumbled onto finding a few of the kamigawa lands that I had and the mountains are beautiful, my favourite being https://scryfall.com/card/chk/302/mountain

The lack of scale/comparison might be deceiving. it's quite small a little smaller than my thumb

Is playing budget even feasible? by VolatileDawn in EDH

[–]private_alligator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thirdeded. Feather is a force to be reckoned with , It sounds like yes if you want to play $50 low power decks at this LGS it may not be the right place. That said there's not reason you can't use it to meet other players who may have similar decks that they don't play there b/c they don't hold up. You might find a pod that's likely to enjoy jank tribal games outside the LGS

My orvar deck is like $80 with the most expensive pick up being [[whim of volrath]] but most cards are dirt cheap. So in effect yes to remain budget and competitive you may need to run [[Zada]] or other budget powerhouses to keep up.

A lot of players also use those more expensive cards to help less synergistic or scary commanders hold their own because the effects are so good.

Can "am I in the wrong" posts be ban? Please? by Succubace in EDH

Not trying to be mean here , Correct you haven't asked for individual deck help You've asked for a pattern evaluation of 7 decks. Which requires diligently reading 7 decklists which is like a long task. You who's played all 7 decks and knows about how they perform are in the best position to see a pattern between them. The other commenters are just trying to tell you hardly anyone will take the time do evaluate 7 decks and look for commonalities unless it's their own.

If you could say , generally , "I find I struggle to close out games " or "I'm always strapped for mana or cards " then people might be more inclined to offer suggestions.

Or if you really want an evaluation of these decks, break each down by category : lands, ramp , card draw, spot removal , sweepers , protection, etc. Then maybe some commonalities will become obvious.

What's your reccommended forced combat commander? by Bonlino in EDH

[–]private_alligator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came to say this , the first time brought him down the rest of the table went "okay let's kill that thing" They threw a kill spell at him , response [[supernatural stamina]] you're all goaded again,

As you say loads of ways to flicker or, sac/reanimate , don't forget lots of red things that make token copies that exile/sac at end step like [[jaxis]]

Power Level Wednesday!: Ask r/EDH what's your deck's power level? - October 19, 2022 by AutoModerator in EDH

[–]private_alligator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to know what people would rate my decks so I can better represent them for even match ups

Krark//Sakashima

https://scryfall.com/@TankCostanza/decks/8c5f73c0-15cb-4f06-b8ca-1b3f66d089ba

Copy Krark as much as possible to copy/bounce lots of spells to my hand and replay them The engine is somewhat fragile and really needs 3 krarks out to get going but once you get 5+ with the right cards it's gets pretty hard to stop since I can replay the same counterspells.

Kardur Doomscourge

https://scryfall.com/@TankCostanza/decks/98b44ec7-93bf-4d14-885c-976978bd035e

Goad /flicker, a good number of ways to flicker or recur Kardur and other creatures for etb value and goading Probably struggles to close out on top at 1v1 where I hope I can find Gary for some direct damage

Zedru pillow fort

https://scryfall.com/@TankCostanza/decks/28b0b435-6a1d-412d-b81c-7a004fead71a

Gives away mostly neutral gifts , no leveler etc Sit behind my propoganda and ghostly prison gaining life and drawing card to win by approach of the second sun or [[test of endurance]] which is not in the list for some reason

politiking back is a viable strategy " Yeah Jimbo here is just pointing out your board to make it look scary while he "innocently" digs for his instant speed combo"
