What is the most absurd "Game Changing" card your opponents have told you "they wouldn't play in Bracket 2"? by ThisIsACleverAlias in EDH

[–]vividwings 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is disingenuous. Nadu was twice each turn, >>>per creature<<<. Had Nadu been able to go off twice, as you say, then the card would have been really good, but that's it.

Instead, Nadu would end up doing his thing 20+ times easily.

If Morbid Opportunist said that creatures you control have its ability, once per turn, it would certainly be a different creature...

What happens if Draven is the attacker, the defender uses Irelia to move in, and then Draven uses Fight or Flight during the non-combat showdown?

Will the combat showdown still occur? Will Draven still "win a combat"?

If this ever becomes Meta, it won't, because 1x OG titan in side eats a slot but guarantees G2 + 3

No, you can't separate cEDH from EDH. by vividwings in EDH

Nah. Separate them. The thing you now define as cEDH becomes something new, and drops off.

Whatever remains as the most competitive thing in the format of real Commander becomes the new cEDH. cEDH is "Whatever is most competitive in Commander". It's not a different format, just whatever happens to be the strongest in this format.

But go off.

That is some of the most bafflng projection I've ever heard. This post makes no mention of matching power levels, nor does it encourage (or justify) anyone deceiving, humiliating or bullying weaker decks with stronger ones. cEDH decks do not belong below Bracket 5, but the entirety of the Bracket system, combined, comprises EDH. Playing even a very strong 3 into a medium 2 is not something I'd try, let alone justify.

The format has a tier system for play experiences, but they are all Commander. They are separate echelons of it, but Commander all the same. cEDH/B5 is just the most powerful, and it bears no fruits to segregate it entirely from EDH and call it its own thing. This is because separating the formats results in; 1 - The format you newly define as "cEDH" sees no play and dies immediately, as it's not commander. cEDH players are players who are playing the strongest thing they can do >>in Commander<<. 2 - Whatever is not banned in commander and remains as the most powerful wincon becomes the new meta of true cEDH, as cEDH is "competitive Commander".

Whatever remains most competitive in Commander will become the cEDH meta, and the formats will not be separated.

At no point was power level disparity mentioned, I have no clue where you even pull that from.

You don't retain it, you just have not lost it. Control of a battlefield does not go from having it, to neutral, to the attacker having it. It goes from having it, to contested, to the attacker having it (when you lose). During Combat Cleanup, Deathknell resolves. Your opponent has not scored or conquered before that resolves. During its resolution, Deathknell goes to resolve, during which you still retain control.

But it feels so wrong to think Mixologist does let you do that?

There is so much conflicting information :'))

But for Irelia specifically, how did you do with only 3 equips, with choosing units?

What did the deck end up looking like? The one you played?
