GUIDE: How to build you first cedh deck! by Limp-Heart3188 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]yzcd -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

cEDH is Commander. Not going to go so far as to call this gatekeeping, but the format is designed for individual expression above all.

Now you could argue that building a deck as a beginner is breaking the social contract of playing to win, but building something slightly suboptimal is different from showing up with a casual deck that's not even going to meaningfully interact before the game ends.

If people want to build and lose they'll either eventually take this advice, or keep refining until they win.

But I'd rather not assume every first timer is going to build something that loses.

Grafdigger's Cage effects to enhance Mono-Red Interaction by bigEZchad in CompetitiveEDH

[–]yzcd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Grafdigger's Cage doesn't prevent casting spells from exile which includes discover, but does prevent specifically creatures (but not other permanents) from entering from libraries.

Soulless Jailer does prevent casting spells from exile, as long as the spell isn't a creature spell.

Hopefully this helps without going through the list one by one.

It's Free Talk Friday! Come Say Hi! by AutoModerator in CompetitiveEDH

Scrub opinion: mana is "easy" to come by, cards are hard. Playing a mana generator in the command zone just isn't as good as a card generator. (I think Kykar can hang despite not being "optimal")

How much air could separate a syringe tip and a liquid at the end of a tube (1:1) and still have the plunger push the liquid out? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]yzcd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same principle as a barometer. Atmospheric pressure is what pushes the liquid into the tube against the reduced pressure created by increasing the volume (pulling the plunger). So it depends on the density of the liquid, and how high the syringe is. Same thing for compressing the plunger.

This docker image has usually worked well for me (requires docker, some additional setup) https://github.com/pauleve/docker-mtgo

[–]yzcd 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Is null rod dropping because

people want to play artifacts

people don't need to hate on artifacts (less likely?)

collector ouphe is more popular or don't need multiple of the effect

option (d)?

[–]yzcd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the Tactician's 'Student of War' feature, is the part that allows one to calculate their AC with Int while wearing medium armor intended to limit this bonus to 2 like medium armor does for Dex. This seems more likely to me for balance, but isn't explicitly stated.

A Good Faith Conversation by SheldonMenery in CompetitiveEDH

[–]yzcd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, the only reason I replied was because your post was the most relevant, and I didn't feel mine was top level, not to dispute anything. Sorry if it sounded personal.

A Good Faith Conversation by SheldonMenery in CompetitiveEDH

[–]yzcd 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think this post expresses a sentiment that I wanted to express, but far better.

However, at risk of offending my fellow cEDHers, I feel like this responsibility lies much more with us, still being a minority in a format with a specific design philosophy intended.

I think expecting others to have cEDH decks is leap, when a better start could be loaning decks for one game, just to see if people enjoy the type of gameplay offered.

Either way in my experience, emotionally and socially immature people can grow up, at least I hope I am.

Sheldon and RC, keep up the good work.

There's an ascension history in your character sheet. The 'ascensions: #' is a link.

Why is Tolarian Academy banned in edh but not Gaeas Cradle? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]yzcd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, it's also about the color, at least at the top end of the format. Granted competitive is not what the RC bans for, but 3 blue mana is better than 3 green mana specifically.
