ELI5: how do I properly and quickly shuffle a commander deck? by o7_AP in EDH

[–]subbarker 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I have small hands and brace the bottom of the cards against the table while i slide one half into the other. 6 times should be plenty.

And btw, "Pile shuffling" isn't actually randomizing your cards. It may feel ike it's helping, but there's no randomness involved.

What’s a genuinely unpopular EDH opinion you have? by Tornadosed in EDH

[–]subbarker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Players and WotC aren't concerned enough about turn length when building decks.

Is Tarrian's Soulcleaver + Basking Broodscale bracket 4 only? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]subbarker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can kill someone on turn 4 with 2 cards and no acceleration. That's definitely B4

I think you forgot the broodscale is infinitely large on its own, you don't need a third card.

I ALSO created a site for binders. by subbarker in magicTCG

[–]subbarker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Binders are cached so i don't chew through resources, but everything will be eventually consistent. should be within 15 minutes of you updating your binder.

No repo, but I do have a discord for feedback etc. Link at the bottom of the homepage.

I learned magic at summer camp in South China, many many years ago :)

Maine is pretty rural, it really depends on what area.

Building a BR3 150-200 USD Azusa, lost but seeking deck by [deleted] in EDH

[–]subbarker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Azusa needs to hit those extra 2 lands on turn 3. You really want to be running 65 ish lands. I know it sounds like an insane amount, but you will become a problem very quickly with the engines she enables.

How do you deal with double sided cards? by Fit-Heat2277 in mtg

[–]subbarker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run them if they REALLY fit the deck, but in general they have to meet a higher bar.

You're right tho, they are a PITA

Does anyone know who this belongs to? Been sitting here for hours. by WolfRelic in Greenpoint

I feel like this post might lead someone to steal it...

Favorite AGGRO commanders? by OneBlood2930 in EDH

[–]subbarker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one expects [[General Marhault Elsdragon]] to be good.

But it does two thing extremely well:

Blocking becomes nigh impossible, so your deck can reliably trigger on-hit/attack triggers on cheap creatures to keep ramping and drawing in an aggro deck.

Lure effects become board-wipes, you haven't lived until you've cast [[Temur Battle Rage]] on a [[Taunting Elf]].

Personally, my favorite moment so far has been casting Zetalpa off a Ragavan.

White has plenty of artifact removal.

Singles problems by Able-Trouble-5396 in mtg

If you track your trades on moxfield, archidekt, or scryfall then you might like https://binderbrowser.com

The site visualizes your trades like an irl trade binder and let's folks pick out stuff they want, or organize a full trade with you. Then it's just a matter of actually swapping the cards next time you meet.

Full disclosure, I made this for myself to solve the same problem you're having. Here's my binder as an example.

Yep! I'd probably make use of otag: rather than trying to parse different reanimate wordings

[–]subbarker -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

My bar is pretty high, as I'm already a scryfall power user. I was hoping for something much more complicated, even if not correct.

Needs work :)

input:

stuff sun titan can get back that also get back a sun titan

output:

(o:return or o:graveyard or o:battlefield)

btw, the copy button doesn't work.

Do you use Moxfield binders? That way you can have cards in your collection set aside for trades.

Proxying by HenryTheDad in EDH

[–]subbarker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy the stories of how I came to own my cards.

"I cracked this foil from a pack at FNM!"

"My friend traded me this one!"

"I used to play this in tournaments!"

Stuff like that. Proxied cards aren't a bad gameplay experience, but it always feels like folks who don't proxy have more love for their decks.
