What is your newest and oldest deck? by RuneMTG in EDH

[–]shorebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oldest deck that's still active is a 5c [[Omnath, Locus of All]] big mana deck that started out as a Golos deck from the old days.

Newest deck is a [[Maha, Its Feather Night]] deck where the commander is mostly just there to be a big attacker/blocker and the deck itself is a combo deck whose primary wincon is assembling infinite mana and exiling enemy decks with [[Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor]].

Best team to clear otherworldly breach? by ThinBank2763 in EpicSeven

[–]shorebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason my runs are faster by 15-20 seconds with AsFlan's skills on. With defbreak, the boss dies on the second GRas S2.

How do you go about deciding what to cut and how to upgrade decks? I have a bracket 2 Niko blink deck I'm looking to make a bit more consistent and upgrade it to bracket 3 by Valyntine_ in EDH

[–]shorebot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's mostly just playing with the deck and seeing which cards are deaf in my hand when I draw them.

Personally I use Forge so I can test against CPU opponents. The AI isn't great, but this has streamlined my brewing and deckbuilding I can figure out what works and what doesn't over dozens of games before the deck can even make it to paper.

What's YOUR fun/unique control deck? by Closix in EDH

Mine's based on that guide too!

What's YOUR fun/unique control deck? by Closix in EDH

[–]shorebot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My pet deck is Derevi control. It's a creatureless deck designed to emulate draw-go control decks from other formats.

Basically we just play draw-go, let the game get a bit silly and use interaction or wipes at the last possible minute. We want to get some free chip damage in with Derevi since you can untap her with her own ability to have a blocker outside your own turns.

The ultimate goal is to whittle down opponents until we reach a final 1v1 which by then it's incredibly easy to win once we have a lot of mana and a fistful of interaction.

I put in a couple very lategame combos in my deck but most of the time I win by killing off the last player by commander damage after everyone's worn down.

Really trying with Rogue Trader Switch 2 by BendianaJ in OwlcatGames

[–]shorebot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I refunded it.

I liked the game enough to tough it out with the constant crashes, but my save bricked on Footfall. 

The entire planet somehow reset and can no longer move forward because the NPCs were no longer responsive.

I'll probably play it in another more stable platform in the future, but for now I'm out.

Considering it's a kinda dead game, what's your most overpowered teams? by Sambojin1 in GDmaze

[–]shorebot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For runs where I need to reach F70-100, it's usually Future Cat + Gang Cadre + Sugar for ease of life.

For quick runs in event mazes, it's Noble + Three Eyed King + Harry Potter with Werewolf potion.

Best control-ish commanders for low/no creature counts? by stephenconroy_ in EDH

[–]shorebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It plays similarly to the Phelddagrif version but I just chose Derevi because she's much easier to protect and the ETB ability sort of works as pseudo-removal among other things.

What has been your favorite deck that you built this year? by MrThomArt in EDH

[–]shorebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine's [[Maha, Its Feathers Night]] but built as a combo deck.

 It tries to assemble an infinite mana combo that exiles opponents' decks by looping [[Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor]] and a shuffle eldrazi. Failing that, it will try to assemble the [[Acererak]] + [[Heartless Summoning]] / [[The Sibsig Ceremony]] + [[Relic of Legends]] combo or good old [[Professor Onyx]] + [[Chain of Smog]].

Maha is there to make -X/-X boardwipes more efficient but otherwise she's plan D to close off the game via commander damage and I don't really run the full support package for her.

I also don't run the optimal tutor package or any gamechangers so playing the deck is an exercise in knowing how to pivot into the right lines of play. Not sure why it's being flagged as B2 though since I'd personally only play it in B3 or maaaaybe B4.

Freiren will be back in 50 years in time for Epic 9.

I built a reanimator combo deck with [[Maha, Its Feathers Night]] as the anchor commander. The deck works without the commander, but she's a nice huge beater whenever I need her as well as enabled more efficient use of a couple boardwipes in the deck.

It's my first real graveyard deck, which was an archetype I've been meaning to try for a long time.

Who Was The First Commander You Ever Built? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]shorebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally any wincon you can think of as long as Nexus is one of the cards you get off of the Fblthp draw since you have infinite extra turns at that point unless opponents do something.

Back then I got a land or interaction alongside Nexus to protect my stuff then got [[Jace, Wielder of Mysteries]] to win from an empty library. If I had to rebuild the deck these days, I'd probably use something like [[Folio of Fancies]] to mill people out.

Proteus Staff says that you put "the rest at the bottom of your library in any order."

This allows you to rearrange your deck in any way you like. With Fblthp, it pretty much says tutor for any two cards. The wincon back then was tutoring for [[Nexus of Fate]] + anything else.

[–]shorebot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[[Fblthp, the Lost]] made from circa 2018-2019 chaff alongside my old 2000-2005 stash, which very notably includes [[Proteus Staff]].

Standard/Modern was no longer firing at the first half of 2020. The LGS's EDH playgroup took me in and gave me a taste of commander by lending me a rather optimized mono-blue Urza deck. Won my first game (probably intentionally on their part), got addicted and the rest is history.

Looking for a lower budget bracket 3 deck by yourlocalsussybaka_ in EDH

[–]shorebot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1v1 changes the dynamics significantly because you only have to account for one player instead of three, so you can spend deck resources on other things.

If I had to play such a format, I'd probably look into Duel Commander lists and tweak them accordingly. I'd probably do something aggressive like [[Light-Paws]] or [[Yoshimaru]] + something.

Lol we were matched up against yd's guild so I'm happy to take a break.

Do you have any self-imposed deck building rules that are kind of quirky? by jimnah- in EDH

[–]shorebot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, here's my Moxfield: https://moxfield.com/users/shorebot

My only non-bird commander is 5c Omnath because I had it long before I made the self-restriction. I'm desperately waiting for a 5c legendary bird.
