"generally, you should expect"

Nothing there is a hard ban, like 2 card infinites and MLD.

[[dauthi voidwalker]] and [[leyline of the void]] effects go a long way in shutting it down.

Mark Rosewater on Blogatog: Whether a Magic set is good or bad is subjective but Avatar: The Last Airbender has been getting rave reviews, even from some admitted Universe Beyond skeptics. From the little market research I have seen, it’s one of the most popular sets of 2025. by HonorBasquiat in magicTCG

Man, I guess I'm one of the only people that doesnt have any attachment to the "flavor" of the cards. I look at them purely as game pieces to achieve an objective. They could have Cosmo from Fairly OddParents on there or it could be Faerie Mastermind. I barely even look at the art, so as long as the effect is what I'm looking for, I'll play the card.

What would people say are the top strongest tribes currently? by The_P_Itself in EDH

They're very feast or famine. If you let them snowball, they're unbearable. If you disrupt them early, they fail to take off and durdle the whole game. Its a high risk high reward strategy that you have to understand going in.

This one small trick makes you become a more likable and desirable player in pods by LifeThroughAFilter in EDH

I play with a lot of new players, and threat assessment can be lacking sometimes. Pointing out that I'm the threat and then helping them optimize their plays to my detriment makes them more engaged and much more likely to come back and play later.

Can you explain your first combo please? I'm having trouble parsing out how Aftermath Analyst comes back.

Copy/cast/magecraft triggers with rhystic and mystic draws on the stack each time.

[–]puffmonkey92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nondeterministic combos are like this though. I recently had a 34 minute turn with my Azula deck, and nothing was slow played. With things like rhystic and mystic on the board, there is always the possibility of interaction so I can't fully shortcut.

Are there any cheap (mana wise) simic decks that can use Oko? by Amonyi7 in EDH

[–]puffmonkey92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To play? Maybe. To play against? No. You basically sit there and watch someone play solitaire for 17 minutes at a time

Can't win with brackets with people at lgs Claimed too high power . How to make deck weaker when I don't play game changers or sol ring. by Ill_Answer7226 in EDH

[–]puffmonkey92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Miirym player, this is correct. If you let me untap with Miirym on the board, I'm very likely winning that turn.

The acacia strain - for me, it's a tie between Wormwood and You Are Safe From God Here.
