That's how tuck works in paper EDH as well now. They changed that rule a good while ago. Yes, it's fucking stupid.
>>46211623
>tuck cards arent allowed yet shit like tooth and nail is
Makes sense to me
Why the fuck is this card so expensive?
>>46211676
looks really strong to me, anon
Kinda off topic, but I can't seem to find a straight Answer... So I have a question. I'm running a green white EDH commander deck. I want to put the new colorless Eldrazi in it, my question becomes, the new colorless mana doesn't give them a color identity right? that only happens if they have an actual color??
>>46211676
>being able to regenerate everything on your board you can pay for
p good card
Also based Ferguson art
>>46211691
>3 mana for anthem
>regenerate is B in a 5-color deck
I don't see a reason why. Like, I really don't. It's double the price when compared to Pulmonic Sliver, which is from the same set.
>>46211740
There are 2 other good Slivers that let you regenerate, and one doesn't even cost mana.
>>46211725
They are colorless. The ONLY thing that has changed about the way colorless mana is used now is that it can be included in casting costs, and has a mana symbol. Nonbasics tapping for {1} now tap for <>. That's it. It's not as hard as everyone made it out to be.
>>46211725
Correct. Eldrazis color identity is Colorless and can fit into most commander decks.
Actually, now that I.think about it, is there any legal commander that can't have colorless cards?
>>46211764
Way better to tap B and keep it on the field than fucking up your draw for at least a turn
The flying on Pulmonic is nice though
>>46211771
Okay that's what I figured. Thank you for the clarification
>>46211676
>never reprinted
>in the most popular casual tribal
it's price reflects that, it's not like it's Snapcaster levels of never reprinted.
>>46211809
How are you going to generate so much B in a 5-color? It becomes a hefty task when you have 3+ slivers, and you should be doing something with all that mana anyway.
Pulmonic also has a 'may' clause, so it can only fuck up your draws if you get Mindslaved.
I wanna get back into MtG but I forgot the rules and shit.
What's a good site to get individual cards from? I always meant to get some vine trellises and sporecap spiders for my deck...
>>46211764
because pulmonic sliver is shit lol
>>46211654
It's because people feel bad when they get their commander tucked.
I'm not making shit up, it's the actual reason they changed the rules. Well, one of the reasons. Other brilliant ones included "it's forcing everyone to play blue or white" and "it's forcing people to run tutors to get their commanders back".
I can't believe you missed that shitstorm.
>>46211852
But that can be said about most slivers, and it's double the price when compared to some actually good slivers. It just doesn't add up.

>Commanders with hexproof/shroud/flicker/etc. are more powerful by default with the existence of tuck.
Narset? Stronger? Stop.
>It promotes running decks with commanders that aren't overly important. Otherwise anyone with a budget can't make a deck by virtue of needing to dump loads of dosh into tutors and protection--taking up card slots and taking out wallets.
I hate fun, too.
>It has no purpose flavor-wise in the format. Commander was created with the ability to put your commander into the command zone for a reason. The goal was to be able to build a deck around one card. Tuck was not an anticipated thing at the time of EDH's creation, and as such no rule was implemented to address it. Tuck was a loophole in the rules, NOT an intentionally created weakness for generals.
Fuck off with your tuck circle jerking. It doesn't make sense in the format, and if you choose to play with tuck in your meta, you're going to have worthless decks anywhere else you go.

Awesome, thanks!
>>46211864
You can sometimes find cards for cheaper on Ebay than TCG player, but you need to sometimes get a refund if the card doesn't make it to you.
Only happened to me once though, and I've saved tons of money using ebay. Picked up a Crucible of worlds for 50$ the other day saving me at least 20.
>>46211963
>We've been over this
Yes we have, and the tuck rules change is as retarded now as it was then. I don't see your point.
>>46211798
>Actually, now that I.think about it, is there any legal commander that can't have colorless cards?
Every commander can run any card with a colorless color identity.
Pedantic aside: colorless cards do not necessarily have colorless color identity, see Bosh, Eldrazi Displacer, etc.
>>46212110
I'm not trying to defend it I'm just saying its stupid when shit like tooth and nail exist that pretty much end the game when you cast them. 9 mana really isnt that much in commander
I like this card and I think I'll try something with it. Any tech idea you would have for it? Except for the obvious dredge and Titania I mean.

A lot of tooth and nail combos can be stopped with instant speed removal. Krosan grip crushes Mike and Trike, Sudden Spoilings really just ruins the whole thing most of the time. You're only ever actually fucked if the combo is etb on the fetched creatures. Otherwise every other player needs to not have: counterspells, instant speed removal, or turn-long effects.

The techiest thing I could find is probably something like Nantuko Cultivator, Edge of Autumn, Greenseeker, Realms Uncharted, Constant Mists, Harrow, Squirrel Wrangler, Sylvan Safekeeper, Worldbreaker.
I wasn't going to keep looking, but there ya go.
Also, unrelated, but I finally found some cards that work well with Geist and I threw together a decklist. It is trash at the moment, hardly any utility, a lot of redundant theme cards, but fuck is it fun and surprisingly cool for a UW deck.
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/geist-odd-combat/
>>46212652
Uh. Not the anon you're responding to but I run Mike&Trike as an alternate win con in Grenzo and I had actually never thought about playing around Krosan Grip. I guess it just never came up. I can see it now, and I'll do so in the future.

>>46212652
Thinking some more on this, playing around Krosan Grip means you're no longer playing around things like Swords to Plowshares, right? If you make the Triskelion ping itself, hold priority and remove the rest of its counters to damage other targets, it's going to come back from a Krosan Grip but it gives your opponents the perfect opening to Swords to Plowshares it. Which is generally much scarier than Krosan Grip. Is there some other ordering I'm not thinking about?
>>46212800

I wish. I did consider that card since it works with a lot of the other cards, but I ended up passing on it.
Thanks for taking a look at it though. Any other effects like that that spring to mind? Also, I need to ask a judge about all these Sundial interactions, the program I use to test my decks for gags clearly is fucking them up.

Calling out the Grip does leave you vulnerable to exile, yes. It's obviously not always the best play to make, just something to keep in mind when you suspect it.
>>46212887
Aegis Angel, Angelic Overseer, Bastion Protector, Champion's Helm, Swiftfoot Boots, etc.
Honestly, this is the easiest thing in the world to look up. Just search for a good ability in colorless and white. If you are particularly saucy, you could check lands too, as magiccards.info seperates lands and other colorless.

Check the number of printings of it out there.
Hydra Omnivore was like, 18 bucks before Conspiracy.
A lot of stuff that was printed solely in Commander is like that. Look at Collective Voyage, 12 bucks. It is because no one thinks to keep copies of these trash cards around after cracking open these things and then four years down the line when Johnny Fuckwits wants to mess with cards that no one else has bothered to, he can't get his hands on a copy.
I know, because I am frequently Johnny Fuckwits in this scenario. That's why I always end up buying all the commander or planechase or whatever releases.

I also really like the art and the name. I love cards with serene art. Karn getting bloody chunks of Vorinclex's mouth spewed on him isn't my jam.

A sliver deck in modern did well once. This is one of the few rares in the deck so it was targeted by speculators and never dropped. Silvers will always have a following in casual and EDH.so it was a relatively safe card to speculate since it was cheap.
Speculators love taxing the shit out of tribal decks. Look at Warren Instigator when Piledriver was announced and now Legion Loyalist. has sky rocketed.
Now Primal Beyond is another victim since Elemental tribal become more popular with Rage Omnath.
>>46215143
Thanks for the explanation. The only reason I'm not mad at speculators this time is because I own one of those.
Here's a shitty graphic I made. Looks like ass because it was created in Paint. Probably going to use a different format for the other colors. In any case, let me know what I should fix.

>>46215407
Good single target removal and boardwipes are nice, but the conditional land fetch may not work out, and in a game like edh, card advantage is incredibly important which it's sorely lacking. At least red has wheel effects, or psudo card draw to help it out.
>>46215638
There's enough card draw based artifacts you should be able to get by in mono white, even if it's group huggy shit like Temple Bell.
How much of an issue are mana costs in EDH? Is it viable to make a deck around high-cost sorceries and instants, provided that you have some means to get a lot of cards and sometimes ignore the cost?

>>46215755
generally you run a lot of mana rocks and other ramp stuff, things that allow you to delay and just not die until you can get your big stuff out, in general it won't be the most competitive, but it should work okay in most groups.

He's supposed to be resting it on his shoulder while he shields his eyes from the sun and looks into the distance, but the pose is still atrociously awkwardly portrayed.

>>46214560
I will tell you this. The mono black player in my group played this card once. Never before has anyone drawn so much group aggro so fast. By the time it hit their graveyard, they removed it from the sleeve and the deck. They were also very dead and out of the game long before anyone else.
>>46215795

>>46215493
THANK YOU. I can't fucking even use the card because that shit triggers me so much.
>>46215916
It was fairly early into the game. It shut down a few players who didn't have any mana dorks or rocks, but there were three of us who had enough to be like "so yeah, it's agreed, we kill THEM first."
Mana rock gave the boros guy an enchantment kill next turn, then we proceeded to beat the fuck out of the mono black player until they were out of the game.

Drana is the commander. Also keep in mind this is actually kind of a budget deck because I built this online but most cards in the deck over $10 I already own.

kinda like my dick LOL
>>46217050
Thanks man, I'm actually really surprised about that :^)
>>46217065
Note that you need to alternate between two fatties for Feed the Pack to work. Both abilities go on the stack at the same time, so creatures that are on the battlefield (that can be sacrificed to FtP) aren't eligible targets for Meren's ability.
Gisa can just sac in the second main and that's fine.
I really want to build Meren, but I already have a GB deck and my tutors are all used up in my other Bx decks. Shit sucks, man.
>>46217017
same anon >>46216618
Ezuri seems really cool, from what EDHrec shows it looks like he's token spam, then pump with experience counters is that correct ?
I like Simic back in guildpact, but they lacked a bit of a punch back then. How does this deck play out and more importantly is it fun?
>>46217363
>>46217363
>Both abilities go on the stack at the same time, so creatures that are on the battlefield (that can be sacrificed to FtP) aren't eligible targets for Meren's ability.
But if Meren is on the stack first and then Feed the pack second, feed the pack resolves and there's a dude in the graveyard, why wouldn't Meren be able to target it?
Is it because Meren is already supposed to have a target while Feed the Pack resolves?
How would I capitalise on Sen Triplets? What kind of cards would mesh well with them?

Hey guys, tried to make a separate thread for this due to fear of bogging down this thread, but I got no replies, so I figured I'd try here.
Can we each make a Name Card for each of our favorite commanders?

>>46217684
>>46217602
>Is it because Meren is already supposed to have a target while Feed the Pack resolves?
Yes. Meren needs a target declared when her ability goes on the stack, and since they both go on the stack at the same time, there's no way to finagle it so that you can bring back the dude you sac. If she didn't have the word "target" in there, it would work though. Still strong; you're not going to have trouble keeping an extra fatty in your yard.
>>46217626
I keep seeing this thumbnail and thinking it's the absolutely based card firecat blitz
But it's not
It's just the shitty meme shit
>>46216865
Attempt to assemble the jigsaw and get each of these keywords onto the field at once
I have two noob questions:
1) When I cast an exiled spell with Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge, is the spell "expended", or can I continue casting it from exile for ever as long as it got there?
2) Can I play stuff like Izzet Boilerworks turn one, since I have no other lands but the card's text does not sound like it's a prerequisite.
>>46219085
When you cast the spell with Jeleva, you put it in the graveyard on resolution, which means you get to cast it once with her ability.
If you play Boilerworks on T1, you still have to bounce a land. Guess what land that is.
>>46219107
Figures. Thanks.
But I still can cast the spells my opponent exiled due to Jeleva, can't I?
>>46219233
yes? that's the whole point of her ability
>>46219295
Just making sure. Thank you EDHG
Also, can you recommend good ramp for Jeleva's colour identity which isn't stones/dark ritual?
>>46219308
I have bad news for you..
Unless you want temporary ramp like High Tide, Bubbling Muck, or rituals
>>46219321
I want anything to be able to cast those fat, juicy sorceries before the enemy general blackjacks me. I can't be too picky I guess.
I'm interested in building a budget Green/Black deck that can still perform good synergy and do fun things.
What direction should I go, and who should be the commander?
>>46219414
The direction you should go is to Cockatrice and not having to pay for cards.
How do tapout and draw go control compare in EDH? Which one is generally safer to go for?
>>46219414
The Meren precon deck isn't stellar, but it's a solid base with a high ceiling for improvement. I've found it to be worth the money.
>>46219424
>playing Cockatrice
>ever
good luck finding a single tolerable person to play with
>>46219434
Control in EDH is a huge hassle, since you have to play reactively against multiple opponents. Most "control" decks lean heavily toward stax or stasis unless you're playing something like Talrand 99 counters
>>46219450
>Not having friends

What's the confusion? If you split second destroy Trike, how will it come back? Things with undying don't come back if they have counters on them, and you can't remove a counter from it because of split second. How will it come back?
Jank is having both Trostani and Ageless Entity on the board when I play Storm Herdwho is laughing now fucker
Post 'em, judge 'em.
For a new player, which of the C15 precons should i get? I like green
>>46220356
The options are Meren or Newzuri. Meren is a great commander with lots of recursion, and one of the strongest out of the box. I think it'd be rather cheap to upgrade her if you wanted to.
Newzuri focuses on small creatures to rack up experience counters in order to buff these creatures to ridiculous sizes. He can easily be dealt with and doesn't offer immediate value like Meren does. Still, he's pretty strong and comes with Kaseto, which could be an interesting commander to build around later on.
It's up to you in the end, do you prefer big creatures or lots of recursion?
>>46220083
That's pretty cool, a bunch of commanders that rarely see play.one of the best around desu
>>46220083
Good mix
I don't have a problem
>>46220083
I play Horde of Notions in an elemental tribal/5 color goodstuff deck. It's allright. I still need a shriekmaw and ingot chewer.
Rosheen Meanderer is cute. CUTE!
>>46220551
You are insane, jeez. Good on ya for trying to make each of them unique. And here I thought my Boros deck was something special for not being aggro.?
The synergy between global damage and damage prevention is my fave aspect of RW. Mark of Asylum is such a godly card. Ashling gets to keep exploding, you can Inferno and just kick back, etc.
I think I should add Gisela to Basandra. She didn't make the cut originally because she was too mean or more likely, because I was scared someone would reanimate her or bribery me and then I'd get fucked. But she fits the concept so well.
>only 4 commanders in SoI
>only 2 of which are worth building even if just for gimmicks
>>46220083

>>46220660
Rosheen was the second EDH deck I ever made all by myself. She's the only deck that has survived this long. I have trouble changing it though, they print an X spell in every set but I only have so many slots. It pained me to cut Firecat Blitz. Pained me.
My problem with Horde is that when I made it I set out to kill two birds with one stone. Be my first tribal deck and be my first five color. The reason I wanted five color is because I wanted to run stuff like Rise // Fall in the same deck as Hide // Seek.
But now, there's becoming less and less elementals in the deck. I haven't even found room for new Omnath.
I might have to bite the bullet and cut the Hondens. The fact that I win more often via their repeatable advantage rather than elementals is a bit amusing and a bit sad.
>>46220695
Do you use squids for token producers in Jalira? You shooould.
>>46220681
Eh. New Olivia is more fun than good ol' good-stuff Oldlivia. With the discard thing. It is a standard card more than EDH, but I wouldn't knock it.
And yeah, Avacyn is a bit bleh, but she does bring some utility and with her transform drawback, there is some build around me potential. Very minor admittedly.
>>46220551
You are my hero.
>>46220817
I have one creature that makes squids, but I don't have a token for it yet.
Here's the list, I think it's one update behind the current one.
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/become-a-kraken-a-self-help-deck/
>>46220854
How's the number of fatties? It seems a bit low to me...
I do like a lot of that list. I would consider Foundry of the Counsels for some more polymorph targets. You don't seem adverse to bad no basics.
Oh and Infinite Reflection would work pretty well with your deck too, I think.
>>46220928
There aren't that many good blue fatties, I should look into artifact ones, but I don't know what I'd take out for them.
I should get one of those lands too, and I forgot about Infinite Reflection. It should be a nice janky add.
>>46220676
Gisela is great but yes she is one of those cards that is scarier in enemy hands, I flip-flop on Iona and Big Avancyn in Razia for the same reason.
One big aspect of RW that is super fun and worth including if you aren't already using it is Sunforger. Its a super versatile tool that really shores up some of the weaknesses. If you include Tithe and Mistveil plains you can loop other instants (Boros Charm, Wear/Tear STP, Laspe of Certainty etc..) every turn super easily
>>46220828
Heh, Thanks
looking for comments on an ezuri build im working on
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/24-03-16-ezuri-claw-of-progress/
i know there is no FoW it will be added when EM comes out
>>46212311
I want to put this in like 3 of my decks and then make a whole new deck with it as commander. It hurts so much that I'll have to wait 2 years for that so it'll be at a reasonable price because it's a mythic.
>>46220083
You're alright man.
I've got 13 more slots to fill here, any suggestions?
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/07-03-16-mishra-stax/
>>46221044
The new Eldrazi has a similar effect as reflection and a nice big fat body to cheat in too.
>>46221134
My problem with Sunforger, as with a lot of really saucy cards is that it eats up a loooot of card slots that could otherwise be theme cards. Like, when I am choosing utility, I pick fits mechanical theme first and then if I have slots left over or just absolutely need better answers, I add more utility. But when I also have the restrictions imposed by something like Sunforger or Isochron, it just ends up being too limiting. You know?
>>46221435
Thanks.
>>46221461
Where's your Nether Void and Nullstone Gargoyle?
>>46221541
>Nether void
I'm trying to build a deck I can potentially have the cards for at some point. I did legitimately forget Nullstone, though.
>>46221521
Jalira has a non-legendary clause, so she can't cheat cool stuff into play.
>>46221717
>Atog Tribal
List please.
>>46221576
I meant this guy.
>>46221717
Atog tribal seems a lot better with Delirium coming out. It is super fun running cards that have as many card types are possible in order to be the most edible.
I am pretty sure Purph's hammer still makes the most delicious tokens. Artifact enchantment creature.
>>46221812
Hurry hurrr.
With a bit of library manip and Jalira getting this guy out, you can make all your shitty squid tokens or thopter tokens into Inkwells. Best kind of jank.
>>46221830
Holy kek, how about this too? There's also Endbringer and Deepfathom Skulker for general goodstuff too.
>>46221916
Yeah, exactly.
Jalira looks fun. As much as monoblue can be fun.
>>46220083
>>46221762
Took a while to write it all down. It's pretty janky and inconsistent, but fun.
>>46219331
You seem to misunderstand Jeleva's ability. When you attack, you cast any one of the spells exiled for FREE.
Here's my Jeleva if you want to take a look.
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/jelevas-spiraling-torment/
My ramp is mostly signets and 2 drop artifacts.
>>46222226
Fucking use Tappedout.net, please? Ain't no body gunna read that shit.
Not shown: I have a Nekusar (pre-con with some alterations. Not really that good. Don't play it often, but it's still together because I think I'm going to change it to an Arjun, the Shifting Flame deck)
I also have a Derevi deck, with a similar premise to Edric's flying men.
I just don't have those 2 decks listed online because I don't use them often enough and will probably change/unmake them eventually.
>>46211003
>mfw Gitrog+Forbid
Because BUG needed a buff in this format, right?
>>46211654
You do realise you can tuck whatever they tooth and nail for right? , tuck spells work on every other creature in the deck and are worth running , especially hallowed burial
>>46219853
>Remove counter
>Hold priority
>remove counter
>hold priority
>remove counter
>Remove counter
>pass priority
By the time you're allowed to KGrip, there are no counters on Trike. The problem, as others have stated, is that you are far more vulnerable to having Trike sworded because you can't kill your Trike in response. That point is irrelevant because if you have swords, you should be exiling Mikaeus while Trike is in the graveyard.
>>46222908
Tucking is worse than exiling when it's not a commander.
>>46223029
Not if you're playing some sort of Eldrazi Processor theme deck :^)
>>46223029
Tucking is worse than exiling, period. The only cases where it isn't is Pull from Eternity, Torrent Elemental and that Sphinx Owl thing. Even Riftsweeper doesn't count.
I still would run Hallowed Burial over Final Judgement, just due to mana cost.
>>46222833
Had to make up for the loss of prophet
>>46223255
Speaking of Torrent Elemental, why do people underrate it so much? It can get your creatures through a stalled boardstate, is hard to get rid of due to being BUG and works well with Delve. It's an all star in my Sidisi list when I can't use Craterhoof.
>>46217622
Copy and steal effects.
>>46223376
I just haven't stuck him in yet. His ability is just a bit awkward compared to the simplicity of the other one. I know it was to not print more food chain support, but eh.
>>46223376
I actually use torrent elemental and misthollow Griffin with pharika to get snakes whenever they die and just bring them back
>>46212025
Got one for $35. Felt real good.
>>46223008
yeah but nobody plays around krosan grip. People expect the swords, but nobody actively holds priority in anticipation of a krosan grip. It's just not common etiquette, even though technically the rules are in favor of the turn-owner.
>>46223029
of course it is , but you can run both
>>46223336
At least Gitrog isn't a UG creature, so he'll only be annoying in BUG decks. I won't mind a Gitrog in a BG loam strategy, it's when he gets paired with Forbid and the usual UGx shenanigan that I foresee him being a huge pain in the ass.
>>46217626
The only real secret tech.
But, it's not secret, because it goes in every fucking deck.
>>46223538
Shouldn't say nobody because I do, but I don't play Mike/Trike. I use Counterbalance and will almost always try to keep a 3 drop floating on top of my library. I also run morph counters like Stratus Dancer for split second cards. It's a wonderful feeling flipping one in response to an infinite mana Molten Disaster.
>>46220083
I don't know why every group I've played in is like this, but playing an aggro deck immediately makes me target #1. People ignore bigger threats to kill me and save their opponents.Nice hipster commanders, btw.
>>46220551
That's some dedication. I think if I made those 5 decks they'd look nearly the same.
>>46220695
>Sharuum
Other than that you're okay
>>46221717
>Atog tribal
Interesting. I also really like drana as a commander.
>>46223752
I actually removed most of my tuck spells in favor of exile, and I've never been happier. The only one I'm still considering is Terminus for the Miracle, but I need to get one.
>>46223008
>That point is irrelevant because if you have swords, you should be exiling Mikaeus while Trike is in the graveyard.
Good point. I guess it is better to play around Krosan Grip after all. Unless your Mike has hexproof / shroud.
>>46223752
>Chaos Warp someone's commander
>they Worldly Tutor a Jin-Gitaxias on top of their library
>they send their commander back to the command zone
>don't have to shuffle, reveal Jin-Gitax
I'd say tuck spells took a really big hit with the rules change. Some like Chaos Warp are now very risky because you can no longer safely use them on commanders due to scenarios like the above. Others like Condemn have just become very weak compared to other forms of removal. There are a handful still worth running, like Terminus, but overall, the viability of tuck spells went down the drain.
>>46223874
Post jor kadeen list pls , wanna compare
>>46223980
Don't have a list on hand, nor do I have my deck with me, sorry :\
I focus pretty heavily on making a lot of tokens & buffing those, but also have some equipment to throw on jor-kadeen. Token producrs like hero of bladehold, myr battlesphere, group buff effects like true conviction, and some equipment like swords & sunforger (plus godo) to round stuff out.
Overcosted tech I like: Stalking Vengeance.

Holy fuck 500 American pounds. I want to die. I don't think I will ever manage to part with that much money at once.
By the way, I have another retarded question.
I am considering also building around Teysacause she's a qt, either Envoy of Ghosts or Scion. Now, they are both Teysa but have different names and abilities. Is it legal to use them simultaneously, since the actual card name is different?
If yes, which one would you prefer as a general - Scion or Envoy? My bet is the former.
>>46222359
>>46225013
Oh, also, Jeleva anon, what do you think of the precon Jeleva deck? Worth it or not really, considering that I already have the woman herself.
>>46225013
Don't let the price deter you. A lot of that is fetchlands, but there is Force of Will and Snapcaster. You don't need them have a deck that is capable of winning. 59 cards are less than $2, 16 are less than $5, and only 9 are $20+. There's a lot of jank in the deck because I play a lot of bounce to keep casting Jeleva for 4.
As for Teysa, I have played both, and yes you can use both at the same time. They are technically the same character, but they are differently named. This is not true for Planeswalkers because it's based on their type.
Scion largely considered the best one because she combos very well and very easily. Darkest Hour + sac outlet is infinite (note that you can't sac them to Teysa because none of the spirits are white anymore). I played her as mostly Human tribal with an Angel of Glory's rise combo, which is actually now my Saffi deck.
However, Envoy is solid, though many won't agree. She's expensive, but is a good finisher. I basically ran BW exile control and dropped her late game when I felt safe. Things like Pariah(Shield) keep you safe from combat damage, which is nice.
>>46225072
It's... Ok. There's not much synergy for Jeleva in the deck itself. She really wants a lot of spells, and the precon is a little light. Plus, they are hard to find at a good price because it has a True Name Nemesis, which is a legacy staple.
Honestly, you might be better off buying the UR precon from last year of you want a precon, but I'd honestly say just get singles. Take a look at my deck again and lost them by price to see what cheap singles I use.
It's edh night at the LGS. Help me out /edhg/, I can't get my Zurgo to run well. What are some must have cards?
Would this be a better card than Blind Obedience? Or maybe I should switch out depending on the number of players?
>>46226012
Blind Obedience seems like enough for the cost. This seems like it comes in too late but also will have you hate targeted out of the game.

>>46226012
It depends on what you use it for , kismet and frozen aether are both great at slowing the entire game down for your opponents , blind obedience just kind of nullifies haste, the artifacts entering tapped comes up alot in my games , fast mana not so fast if it etbs tapped
Whose the superior commander for a Mardu goodstuff/aggro deck? Zurgo or Alesha? I figure one can go in the 99 no matter what but the commander I pick will shape the deck. I just don't want to go full Zurgo + Worldslayer or Alesha combo.
>>46226789
Just realized that "target player" on that card is outdated text. That makes it significantly more playable.
>>46227165
Alesha definitely, combos out the ass.
>>46227214
See that's the problem, I don't want to go full combo. I just want a nice Mardu aggro deck.
>>46227165
Neither of them is particularly goodstuff-y, even Tariel or Kaalia would be better at generic goodstuff things. That said, of the two, I'd pick Zurgo. He doesn't demand building around as much as Alesha, he has a bigger dick, and he doesn't really care what other cards you run alongside him if you're only using him to punch for 7 once in a while.
>>46227230
Then do good stuff but Zurgo is control/combo.
>>46227247
I guess Boros charm + Jokulhaups is a combo.
>>46227277
Zurgo and Wrath is a combo.
>>46227243
>he has a bigger dick
Objection, we don't know the canon sizes of their penises. While convention dictates that Zurgo as a beefy bara orc would have a larger cock than the twinky trap human you have to keep in mind that Alesha also comes from warrior stock and isn't on hormones. Their cock could very easily rival if not dwarf Zurgo's if only by body size ratio.
Source: I'm a penis expert and have been involved in hundreds of penis day inspections from both a local school level and pre-Senatorial meeting cock inspections.
>>46220083
>>46227332
Zurgo is a 7 and a grower, Alesha is a flat 3. Their ass is the same size though.
>>46227368
Oh shoot I meant spells that add counters not actual counter spells.
>>46227378
Objection, power has never been a relevant measure of cock size. Olivia Voldaren has been shown to have the largest visible dick in any card art and she's a 3.
>>46227305
Not really a 'game winning' combo that orients a deck in such a way to warrant calling it a 'combo' deck.
>>46227368
>Almost all tribal
A bit dull, desu. If you want to have your cards to interact with each other, there are other, more interesting ways to do it. Same if it's flavor you're after.
>>46227410
She's also a grower, read the fucking cards.
Further proof: Jace is a 0/2 and actually a woman.
