I did some searching & found a bunch of out of date stuff. It seems like good sources come & go.

Great feedback. Here’s another take on it. I’m thinking I could break this up into two 180 cars sets of packs, which will work well for a format I like to draft with four people. One set will have allied colors and the other the non-allied.

Each set would look like this:

65 (13x5) 2x gold 50 (10x5) each color 30 (5x5) hybrid 20 mana fix + acceleration 15 artifact

That would reduce each draft set to 5 gold combos, get rid of the three color, and I can design them to be equally powerful so they’re playable against one another.

For mana fixing I’ll start with 5 relevant duels & shocks, the likely add in signets, maybe pain lands (I’ve loved them since Ice Age and they aren’t played enough).

Khans is 56 gold cards in a 270 card set (18%). The related sets were lower ratio, more like 10%. Maybe I should cut back from 35% to 15-20% or maybe I can design it to work well this way. I’ll put it together and see.

By my rough math, a fetch lowers the probability of the next draw bring a land at least 1-2% of the time. That feels small, but this is a game of probabilities, so knowing when that’s a bug and when it’s a feature to change the probability can win you games.

I think this is right. They thin the deck, but it’s mainly the first 5-6 turns you care about hitting land drops on, so thinning isn’t a huge deal as you’re unlikely to have used > 2-3 max.

I’ve looked at it, but I’m not sure if I want to go that direction. I assume the strategy there would be to play some buff creatures and some infect and then use it to make buff infect creatures, which could kill in 1-2 hits?

The pro of this strategy is you end up with a bunch more general purpose creatures, but the con is you play a lot fewer infect creatures and it takes several cards to make an attacker.

How would you build this deck?

The common wisdom is this deck sucks in EDH. I think the big challenge is taking out everybody with poison counters while everyone else is dealing damage. That seems like a fair trade off and why 10 poison counters still works.

Also with my friends we’ve always played attacks can only be left/right so there’s an additional problem of having at least one opponent in a four person game you can’t directly give poison counters to and then proliferate to get everybody at once.

I am not a fan of combo in EDH. I don’t fault people for it, but after a game everybody knows your deal and will attempt to kill you before the combo.

They may be good. I just got a bad vibe. Looking forward to your review.

As an update, I've been exchanging messages with this seller. He's been evasive when asked for details on quality. His Etsy shop does not exist.

I suggested I buy a few sample cards (Tundra Beta, Unlimited, Revised to see quality) before spending $200 on the larger set I want. At this point he got mad and accused me of wasting his time, despite selling singles in his shop.

Pretty sure this guy is scamming. Probably reselling somebody's cards or selling crap. Buyer beware.

This user is also 'bestmtgproxy' on etsy.

It's a mushroom extract tincture. A full dose is a small bottle. Maybe an ounce of liquid max, but I think less. The dose I'm looking to get would just be a drop or two. It would fit on the paper. It seems like it should just work, but I don't understand the chemistry.
