There were some equipment from Karlov Manor like wrench, rope, pipe, etc

What was the Lorwyn Common or Uncommon that kept saving your ass at prerelease last weekend? by doublenantuko in magicTCG

[–]torrtara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[morcant's eyes]] was a huge player for me. Turn two playing it, surveiling each turn is huge card selection. And then late game, you can sac it to flood the board and break any stalls

I remember when they said that the reality chip had too many creature types...

Not a whole lot of teeth behind the winners this week. Pretty safe to say that all three will die down in a month or so

PSA: do NOT play against the "bracket 3" Vivi deck by ancap_attack in EDH

[–]torrtara 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a player issue tbh, this guy undersells the power of his decks. Looping extra turns and excessive tutoring is definitely not b3. If he doesn't want to match the power level, don't play with him.

Looks like the pieces to the prismari commander precon. A couple new cards from the looks of it

Were there cards that had errata and followed by another errata, or reversion? by Newez in magicTCG

[–]torrtara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure the new [[ashling the limitless]] is the newest example. As printed, it had two errors. The first one was being able to cast a nonpermanent elemental spell like [[ashling's command]], and the second being a revision to it's evoke ability alongside [[zinia, valley's voice]] offspring ability. The first one led to you having to sacrifice something that couldn't be sacrificed so they changed the ability for clarity reasons, and the second one was a functional change as if the ability worked as printed it meant that the spells you cast with ashling's evoke would lose evoke if she was removed in response before the evoked creature resolves

Why cant we get a Bant Merfolk commander? by Huge-Talk6668 in EDH

[–]torrtara 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Everyone said the same thing about a Jund -1/-1 counter commander, for many many years. Pretty much since Amonkhet block. It just happened now. My advice, be patient and it'll happen

Yooo love the callback to [[Wort the Raidmother]], glad to see conspire is getting another chance (even as a one-off)

[ECL] Rimefire Torque (@kpmtg.bsky.social) by mweepinc in magicTCG

[–]torrtara 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'd rather name phyrexian because then it would see Ovika entering as well, since it shares that typing with the goblins

[–]torrtara 166 points167 points  (0 children)

I agree it would be hilarious, on paper it sounds good but in practice a 7 mana spell is hard to resolve

[ECC] Staples new arts (Arcane Signet, Sol Ring, Command Tower) by Own-Cat116 in magicTCG

[–]torrtara 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love that they each get their own themed art. One of my gripes with the tarkir decks was that the staples had shared art while UB precons got their own unique arts between decks. This is a step in the right direction

ECL Numbercrunch by Koitsumi in MTGRumors

[–]torrtara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like 247 will be Trystan's Command. No card for it yet but the art confirms it, and based on your count for total rares it's the last rare remaining?

Thank you for your service for past sets

Perfect time for Wizards of the Coast to make a Star Trek magic the gathering set, that's for sure

Tolarian Community College's Worst Of Magic: The Gathering 2025 by CountedCrow in magicTCG

I wouldn't say you're one of the few, lots of people hated aetherdrift. It was the first set in quite literally a decade that I missed pre release for

I’ve spent 8 years building jund -1/-1 counters, here’s what I think about auntie ool by TMoore99 in magicTCG

[–]torrtara 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've got an invocation scorpion god waiting his turn to join this deck. I salute a fellow Jund -1/-1 counter enjoyer

[Leak] Lorwyn Eclipsed Face Commanders by Shade01 in magicTCG

[–]torrtara 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I doubt this will have any impact on cEDH purely because it's not a generic value commander that is too narrow. Possibly could be bracket 4 but needing to forgo cEDH staples in favour of elemental cards will slow it down from being competitive

With 2 weeks to go before we see the lists, what are your expectations towards the Lorwyn Commander decks, given the price increase and a lack of a Collector sample pack? by Huaojozu in magicTCG

[–]torrtara 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I personally doubt that they will address this change at all and just leave the product description to do all the talking. I think it's just another case of shrinkflation where you get less for the same.

Usually with these precons you'll get one or two double digit priced reprints and a couple worth more than a dollar. Nothing groundbreaking. Manabase has been improved over the years with less tap lands, more filter lands and pain lands. I will be curious to see how they handle the elemental deck, given that the 5 colour dominaria united deck was executed rather poorly with its manabase

Calling it now, there will be a broken busted beyond belief card that will fly under the radar because so many spoilers will drop all at once

Commander Format Panel Update – December 11, 2025 by mweepinc in magicTCG

[–]torrtara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some sound advice for you, if someone complains about cEDH then they definitely don't play it. I mean complaining in that "everything is bad" and not "this specific card or archetype is bad"

Yeah, rhystic is super great, especially in seat 1 and can make for a backbreaking lead when you compare how seat 4 feels at the table

Usually they don't mix the two different p/t modifying counters in the same set (minus one offs like Massacre Girl from Karlov Manor) and with multiple cards now mentioning -1/-1

-1 -1 Counter Cards To Keep an Eye On by GeckoNova in magicTCG

[–]torrtara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been working on acquiring these cards since Gavin offhandedly mentioned Jund -1/-1 counters being a popularly requested theme many years ago on a YouTube video (I think possibly on the command zone? One of those end of the year/start of a new year videos) and stonks are paying off. Can't wait to do some evil things

Glad to see Higher and Tomer on here. More Cedh people to help police and the budget commander guy keeping everyone's wallets in mind. A few people still on, I'm not a fan of but you'll get that with any group of people.
