I sure am spooked by how shitty all the legends in eldritch moon are!
>>48106912
Gisa and Geralf look alright. Better than that piece of garbage
Gisela is also toned-down Baneslayer which isn't awful
>>48106851
Man spiders and werewolves got let down by these new cards
>>48106912
At least Gisa and Geralf get to cast Sidisi every turn.
>>48106851
10/10
Takes advantage of the wide breadth of black spiders.

Really excited to hear him tell us how he should get two generals so he can do the fusion dance, with added bonus of some awful new tribal decks!
>>48106851
This is a bad card but I still want to build it.
>>48106851
How fucking awful.
Overcosted even if the additional spiders didn't rely on delerium, and the activated ability is overcosted and underpowered.

>>48107640
So does the chance to use the ability, so that's irrelevant
Guys, it's simple: just get infinite mana, sac this guy and repeatedly recast him from your command zone. You have the mindgame of everyone thinking that you're playing some shitty spider tribal deck when really your deck is loaded with infinite mana combos in two of the colors that best support it.
>>48107613
Bar Arachnogenesis and Spider Spawning, there's no good method of getting lots of Spider Tokens out, so really, no, it's shit.
>>48107706
But he isn't RU, I'm so confused.
>>48107722
I know blue has tons of infinite combos, but how does red contribute to supporting infinites better than green or black?
>>48107775
Anon I..
>>48107722
Infinite mana is pretty easy to get on BG.
>>48107775
Mostly Reset Reiterate and Turnabout. With Foresight as an enabler for it
>>48107775
>how does red contribute to supporting infinites better than green or black?
Splinter Twin?
>>48107790
Oh, so you just want to shitpost. OK, I'll play along.
Umm...uhhh...you're a faggot!
How was that? Did I do okay?
>>48107814
Thank you for an actual answer, I appreciate it. I can't believe I forgot about the Foresight combos, probably because nobody in my group plays UR, and the few that do have no idea what they're doing.
>>48107842
>Splinter Twin
I can't believe I forgot this either, especially since I used to run Kiki/Conscripts in one of my decks.
Thoughts? I might try to jam some number into my legacy MUD deck to combat all the duresses and thoughtseize

Gisa is a boy in his headcanon

>>48109119
It is a "may" ability
>>48106851
Yikes.
Could make a mediocre finisher in BUG via infinite reflections or Artifical evolution(swapping its type to the type of tokens you've spammed), but I'm willing to bet there are other legendaries which fill the same roll but better. If you can get the card which allows you to untap land during each player's untap step in the deck, it could be a game ending bomb, but even then that's entering Christmas land where nobody board wipes you.
>>48109073
Gisa and Geralf
>>48109098Hey I though I could refer to brother and sister and 'brothers', seems my english isn't that great after all
>>48109313
Ah, didn't realize you didn't speak the King's language. Sorry if I offended you.
So we have Newrakul, G&G, Ulrich and the Akhenaton spider. How was this round of commanders?
>>48109365
No trouble
>>48109313
Its ok you have good taste in sibling rivalry
>>48109000
THE TRIPS COMPEL YOU
>>48109313
The word you're looking for is "siblings."But I wouldn't put it beyond Gisa to craft herself a necrocock
>>48109413
still waiting for that 4 color samurai commander....
>>48109468
That's on C16, and we still have the Conspiracy 2: Electric Boogaloo round before that.
>>48109468
Were there green samurai? Mardu colors were all I remember
>>48109468
How about a 4-color legendary samurai that's not very good or interesting? If Ishkanah and Ulrich are what you have to compare to, I wouldn't be holding my breath.
Let's do this.
http://edhrec.com/random
Who's your next commander to build?
>>48107483
At least he's experimenting with the new stuff in the format, you shouldn't shame him for it. Him sperging out when someone does the same though, that's retarded.
>>48109000
Meren is a better control commander
Jarad is a better midrange commander
Gitrog is a better combo commander
Before you build any other BG commander, consider building one of these instead.
>>48109506
>Toshiro Umezawa
Mono-Black Storm, here I come!
>>48107067
For real. I have to stop asking wizards for things.
For years, I wanted a spider legendary, that would have captured the flavor of spiders with a unique and interesting ability. And I got this piece of shit boring design. So now I'm done wanting things. I will expect the worst from MaRo andstill be let down as magic slips into a singularity of terribleness.
I'm sure it is much the same for those who wanted a werewolf legend.
>>48109500

>>48109550
I'm sorry man. That card is utterly irredeemable trash in every way. Imagine having to spend multiple turns setting up delirium, casting it, then finally activating it's ability and only doing a pittance of damage against just one person, assuming it doesn't eat removal. Christ almighty. The very least it could have done was make a spider every turn, or cost less, or not rely on delirium, or hit all opponents, or give life, or give spiders deathtouch or hexproof. So many options and you get this.
>>48109550
>I'm sure it is much the same for those who wanted a werewolf legend.
>tfw I think Ulrich is actually more playable than Akhenaton
He may not help with the flip clause but at least he helps putting more damage on the table, and RG wants that after all.
>>48109413
>Gisela and Bruna
Bruna's inbuilt reanimation could make for an interesting W deck, Gisela is...okay. I think you can return your commander of the two when you meld, but until we see Brisella I can't recommend for/against melding.
>Wewrakul
Literally just a watered down, potentially faster Emrakul. If speed is important, don't play Emrakul.
>Gisa and Geralf
BU is a good combination, seems like it fits snugly into BU grave decks. Not sure if it'd be commander worthy.
>Iskanah
See >>48109274 , but generally shit.
>Thalia
I like her personally, but she's probably better as a card rather than a commander.
>Ulrich
Kinda bad, especially if it can't target itself for the +4/+4 when transforming. If it could, at least it'd make for a 10/10 base alpha striker commander.
>>48109608
Well he's a samurai, what did you expect?
What are some infinite combos for mana in green black I have the cards lying around and might just make a deck for it, kinda like oona infinite milling but with a spider babe.
>>48109542
Actually, surprisingly effective. I'm speaking as a guy that's played it before. You've got several free spells (slaughter pact, the other free kill spells, potentially not of this world), several rituals (dark ritual, cabal ritual, a graveyard based ritual), several one mana tutors (vampiric tutor, demonic consultation, spoils of the vault). Combine all that with being able to chain the effects off of something like an oblivion stone (even if tosh dies, he sees the other creatures your opponents control going to the graveyard, and he triggers), and you almost have yawgmoth's will on a general.
Some other tech:
Ad Nauseam
Darkness
Sudden Spoiling
Tainted Pact (yeah this seems absurd in EDH, until you fill your deck with so many non basics that the risk of ever hitting two swamps is extremely low. Don't forget to split your basic mana base between snow and non snow to lower it even further)
Doomsday (not an instant, but super fun to play)
I've played toshiro for years, and storm was just one of the ways I played him. He's super fun, and can be very competitive if you want him to be.
Make sure to include some non storm win conditions too.
Tainted Pact will always produce salt (and if you cast it on an opponent's creature, you should get the packs)
Hatred
Exsanguinate.
Also some general goodstuff:
Cabal Coffers+Deserted Temple
>>48109735
Oh, and one thing that I never see included in decklists is Forbidden Orchard. Sometimes your opponents just don't have creatures for you to kill.
>>48109716
Shit I forgot the monoW girls. Thalia is nice but on the 99 of Hokori. And G&G at least is a huge flavor win that can be easily played on the helm. Not the exact best (That's Grimgrin), but helps a lot.
>>48109735
>>48109745
Thanks for the advice, but I hope you realize that I'm not actually going to build this deck.
>>48109716
Why do you think ulrich can't target himself?
How do I spam flicker in monoblack?
>>48109808
That's okay anon. It's your problem not mine. I just love talking about my toshiro deck and its various evolutions.

You're worse than the shu yun fags.
>>48109889
>surprise infect gisela
I'm intrigued. How would this work in Boros colors?
Why couldn't the legendary spider be more like Arachnus Spinner? I'd actually rather run that as the commander of a spider tribal deck than this garbage, even despite the singleton format making the ability a lot less useful.
>>48109918
Grafted Exoskeleton
>>48106851
Looking for good black/blue/white cards to use with pic related. Perhaps some good life gain or with good drawing/counter potential. Anyone have ideas?Ertai is the commander, by the way
>>48109934
Ah that'll do it
>>48109918
Probably some shenanigans with trash for treasure and grafted exoskeleton. I did it in mono black colors though by just casting tainted pact on an enemy gisela attacking somebody else after no blockers were declared. The resulting explosion of rage from the victim was probably the highest salt content I've experienced in a game of EDH.

>Ashling the Pilgrim
Sounds like some sort of voltorb
>>48109817
I know it's ETB can target itself, but I don't know if transformed creatures are considered the same creature for targeting rules - if not, then the two sides can't target each other since, when the ability activates, the transformed creature doesn't exist.
Mind you I haven't played magic for years now, so I may be off.
>>48109506
Neat. Play with tons of "reveal hand" effects
>>48110071
Splashing black lets you run Nightmare Void and similar, to help set up Delirium as well as fill your graveyard for Spider Spawning.

>>48111165
The combo I've seen used with him most is Kaalia and Oni of Wild Places. Obviously that won't work with Rakdos as your commander
>>48111165
Typically it is brought in via kaalia. Since being put on the field tapped and attacking is different from being declared an attacker, you don't have to sacrifice anything that one turn, and they have to sacrifice half.
>>48107654
>Ally decks losing to a board wipe.
Shadows actually introduced a bunch of cards to deal with this. Essence flux can trigger hero's effect at instant and eerie interlude can save your creatures before the wipe in case of an exile wipe.

>>48111528
>implying any EDHfags save a handful of retards want this piece of trash
>>48111469
It's a cheap combat trick. Plus if you manage to pull it off right. You can get a few +1/+1 counters on your next upkeep and a couple of tokens. Essence flux is amazing though. Surprise indestructible/double strike/trample/lifelink is a beautiful trick to pull especially with the 1/1 generator.
>>48110697

>implying it isn't WotC's fault
They could literally just reprint the cards, but they won't.
>>48111783
Uuuuuh, do you not know how to read? I'm pretty fucking sure they only even considered making this to pander to you. Them making the card shit as a commander is a totally separate issue.
>>48111844
>I'm pretty fucking sure they only even considered making this to pander to you.
What wrong with trying to make a legendary spider then? Those are two card types, they were bound to be on the same card someday wtf are you on then??
>>48111815
I agree that it's their fault. The buyouts are a symptom, not the cause. However, that guy is still a dickhead for exploiting what amounts to a handshake knee-jerk promise made 20 years ago. I have never, ever spoken to a person that is in support of the RL.
And the worst part is that WotC doesn't really care about the eternal formats anymore since they can't show off the dank new garbage that is in Standard
>>48107668
Evangelion anon, is that you again?
>>48111883
No, he's saving the game by doing it. He's basically forcing WotC's hand, unless they want to catch a shitton of flak for it.
This is the only way the company would ever listen and reconsider their stance on the reserved list: action.
>>48111875

>>48111908
People have been complaining about the RL in the midst of buyouts for years, anon, nothing is going to change

>>48106851
Let's try and think of Ishkana differently. She's 4 ETB triggers at once, does green black have many cards that could benefit from that? Perhaps a GB deck that was already fixing to be token based could benefit from having the commander spew a few herself, and maybe conspiracy in the deck just for fun.
>>48112228
>couple of them
Of what? If it's edh there's a Magus that does that. Or China proxy if you don't want to be a dick, it's a casual format. Nobody cares unless you're passing it off as a real deal
>>48112240
Not a finance guy, but I can only see that going up in price
>>48112252
This could be interesting just eating the spiders alone, with like Dictate of Erebos or Grave Pact
>>48112252
>>48112294
I was thinking of using Ishkana as a Token based sac deck, using conspiracy as a possible wincon with Ishkana
>>48107775
Kiki, splinter twin, shit like zealous conscripts. Wheels can be helpful too. Past in flames. Commanders like NIV miz and nin make good combo decks also.

>>48110825
>white is least interesting color

>>48112453

>>48112359
You're like 6 hours late to this discussion but yeah, I mentioned that I forgot about Splinter Twin and Firemind's Foresight.
What I was trying to get at though is that black's tutors and Necropotence are better at assembling combos than other tutors red has.
>Firemind's Foresight
That's one card and it's 7 mana.
>>48112486
Recluse and spawning aren't good. They just don't do enough
>>48106851
Stupid and not really EDH question, but I do wonder what side she's on. Possibly influenced by Emrakul to end up as spooky as this, but not a Horror and more skeleton than Eldrazi.
As for her poor choice of colors, I can still dream that C16 fixes this for a more appropriate spider commander. Hell, go nuts and do a 4-color, white's actually gotten two real spiders compared to just Nyx Weaver and a flashback cost. Staple Doran to something with reach, Wizards, fuck.
>>48112530
Or just do a legendary Spider that cares about tokens and deathtouchers/reachers. That would be more than enough for me on the right colors.
>>48112483
Blue is exciting as fuck. White is just an awful monocolor. It does nothing.
>>48112517
Yeah, I guess that's right
>>48111750
What got bought out specifically? Curious how much I'm going to care.

>>48112435

Jesus Christ
>>48112657
So a card I was never going to get anyway is $200 more and... Lion's Eye? It shot up more pst-EMA announcement than it did thanks to this. Whoop de fucking doo.
Obviously not happy about these things happening, just nice when it's shit like that and not Great Whale now as a $60 card.
>>48108941
Definitely gets better the more discard you see in your meta. But it's not a strong effect, and there are other ways to deal with discard (like, perhaps, benefitting from it).
Nice that Nephalia Academy is a land, so anyone who's running Library of Leng can jam out with this, too. I've got a deck where I run Leng for the 'book' theme, and this happens to fit that flavour, and will find a place in that list.
Legendary Crab/GOOD Crab tribe when?
Dinosaur tribal when?
>>48112501
Black is definitely a premium colour when it comes to combos. Tutors just get the job done well, and black brings a bit of everything to the table.
Wizards is right, werewolves are shit and you shouldn't use one as your commander.
Instead what commander would they be semi useful to in the 99 as toolbox creatures?
>>48112804
I'm thinking you could go two ways on this.
R/G/W midrange, with a possible token or human sub-theme.
or
R/U/G packing it full of utility and calling it a day.
>>48112804
Ruric Thar since it kinda cockblocks the opponents of casting spells.
>>48112804
Ruric Thar have been working great as a werewolf tribal leader thanks to that he gives your opponent the option of either letting your werewolfs flip or take 6+ dmg each turn.
>>48112576
>Blue is exciting
You either mill, counter, draw cards, or bounce. Wow so much fun no big creatures and no wincons outside of everyone hopefully ignoring you.
>>48112804
Why do you guys want to play werewolf tribal so badly? Getting them to flip is difficult outside your own turn (and you probably loose a shitton of tempo if you choose not to do anything just to flip them). Flipping them back to humans is piss easy with 3 other people playing. It's super vulnerable to boardwipes and spot removal. Not to mention, it's probably annoying as fuck to take them out of the sleeves all the time when you flip/unflip them.

Blue has lots of big interesting creatures.
If the anons asking for my Slobad list are still around, here it is:

On a side note, how is Steel Hellkite not in literally 100% of decks? I just played a game where the Azami guy ran creature after creature into Hellkite just to get Deed'd and it was just silly.
>>48113063
You aren't looking in the right places.
Mistform Ultimus and Tromokratis are good mono-blue commanders who aren't just draw cards/mill/bounce/counter.
>>48113063
>no big creatures
Blue is the color of sea monsters and sphinxes

I love blue.

Actually ca't you just nim death mantel and phyrexian altar for infinite spiders?

Wew lad those are some damn fine creatures but can't win you a game
>>48113137
>Sphinxes are big
>>48113075
You'd be surprised how often a game can get stalled out when the aggro player is stuck putting down another chump blocker every turn
>>48113063
I have a straight up copy/steal effect decks. runs some counters and a few utility cards to help prevent it get not fucked. But the meat of the deck are all clone and steal effects, it has no win cons outside of building your own set of win cons from your opponents decks. Runs thada adel as commander. It's super fun, does well and never plays the same twice.

>A removal spell can remove a creature!

Are you an idiot?
anyone know where to get some good proxys for legendary's to use in casual commander?

Holy shit there's so many awful Crabs. Props to Oraxid for the type update I guess.
But yes, I am just the kind of moron that would play Crab tribal if there was ever some kind of synergy.
>>48113321
>revoke existence
>path when you swing or block with tromokratis
Very impressive, mono blue is a gimmick
>>48113388
Crabs are my favorite animal, but unfortunately they get no love from Wizards. Tromokratis is the closest thing to a crab commander that we've got.

I can post cards too, anon.
>>48113223
>Dies to removal meme returns
>>48113321
I knew a guy who did this. His entire deck was designed to play tromokratis, attach a grafted exoskeleton and boots to it, and then tap down one of somebody's creatures.
He beat me several times.
>>48113439
>>48113448
>blue isn't just counters
>counterspell
And in the end blue is exactly as I stated.
>>48113477
Better than the "dies to lightning bolt" meme
>>48113482I'm actually brewing the same thing right now.
I'm building a mono-deck for each color. I have W, G, next is R, then U with Tromokratis.
>>48113506
>HE USED SOMETHING THAT'S PART OF THE COLOR'S IDENTITY IN A MONO-COLORED DECK!
>GUESS THAT MEANS THAT'S ALL THE COLOR IS, I WAS RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME!
>>48113506
>he thinks counterspells are boring
Get raped Timmy
>>48113535
Then build a blue deck without using counterspells and tell me how it works. Mono blue is a fucking gimmick m8
>>48113577
Done it already.
Clones, stax, steals, etc. +bounces for spot removal.
Who needs counters when I can tutor cyclonic rift and protect it with boseiju?
>>48113577
>Build a green deck with no ramp and tell me how it works!

With hexproof/shroud and misdirecting the targeted removal nigga. Btw it's like you forgot the best sea monster...

Why do you need to work so hard to justify mono blue? Do you get this upset by posts on the internet?
>>48113646

Maybe for you, but nobody here is going to overestimate your intelligence.

>>48113692
But it was hard cause you couldn't resist :^)
>>48110302
Sure it is. Afterall, you can Doomblade a transform card
>>48112381
MLD and Aggro. Just keep blowing up their lands and punching them in the face.
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/that-which-is-best-in-life/
>>48112576
It blows up all your lands.
So I'm just thinking about getting back into Magic. All of my cards are ancient and I've heard that Standard now will have no more core sets or reprints.
So basically my old collection is functionless within Standard, correct? I'm not particularly upset I just wanna know if I should box up my old cards and start fresh or leave them out.
I'm thinking of making Wort, the raid mother with tons of X spells to pump up since im in green, but I was wondering what damage doubles are their in red that I could use to get the most out of it?
>>48114156
/EDH/ strikes me as the exact wrong place to gripe that you can't play Standard.
Have you considered, you know, a format that allows you to use your ancient cards?
>>48114156
Play edh, become known as grandpa magic, as I have been.
>>48114252
>>48114285
OK, good suggestion. I will try but I just have this conception that EDH is like filled with expensive cards and amazingly complex decks. I guess it doesn't matter to me because I won't be playing super competitive anyway.
That and I'm moving and I kinda was thankful to be able to leave my cards at my brother's and not have to haul them off to the small apartment I'll be moving into.
I'll see if I can make some cool EDH decks with what I have before I move actually, thanks for the idea.
>>48114159
AND MORE!
>>48109506
>Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs
Oh boy, this'll be amusing.
>>48114336
EDH doesn't have to be complex. Long as you have something mindful of the difference of scale in the format (deck size, life totals, commander damage) and number of players if you don't opt for duel commander, you'll be fine. Look at some primers, don't skimp on lands or mana rocks, find a strategy you like among what you have and enjoy.
>>48107654
OK

Kazuul is mega-fun

>>48112745
Screw that noise, when are we getting a legendary wolf or some bear tribal support?
>>48113075
Ruric Thar and his toys make sure that no one really wants to cast anything that's not a creature unless they're really sure that they can get rid of him at the same time and with stuff like Possibility Storm out that shit becomes difficult and painful. Any damage doubler that's out with him makes him do stupid amounts of damage, jam a Grafted Exoskeleton on him and no one will be playing cards any time soon.
>>48114708

>>48113090
Ultimus is fucking hilarious with those tribe equips from Lorwyn.
>>48114656
Shattergang and Melek are in the works, never fear
>>48114705
I have him in Zirilan, lots of sac outlets in there
>>48114759
Red funnest color. Best? No, but my meta is not competitive at all so I build what I like
>>48114752
iktf
let's hope C16 gives us something good.
guys i want to make a colorless deck, what would you recommend?
>>48114847
I would recommend not making a colorless deck.
But if you're really set on it, I'd say Newzilek is probably the best.
>>48114847
Picking a color first
>>48114623
>monored
my brother
Do token copies of permanents have mana costs for the purposes of devotion?
>>48114883
Butcher of Truth is better
>>48114904
yes
>>48114904
Yes. Everything is copied, right down to the artist and copyright text at the bottom
>>48114847
I'd recommend having at least a single color to work with, so Memnarch or Bosh. If you really want to go true colorless, pick one of the legendary Eldrazi and call it a day.
On a scale of 1 -10, how much is of a dick move is Maralen & Strangehold into Sire of Insanity?
>>48114883
Kek.
>>48114847
Old one is better. Karn is good too.
Memnarch is the best. Even though he's not colourless by identity.
>>48114892
very funny anon
>>48114920
>>48114926
Excellent, thank you.
>>48114940
Sub out Stranglehold for M15 Ob Nix
>>48113577
Honestly mono blue can go so hard without counterspells, this was a bad battle to choose
Green can't be played without ramp but blue actually doesn't need counter magic at all, mono blue combos so hard and you can even play control without counterspells, entirely relying on steal clone and bounce, fueled by draw
I'm ready for a RU artificer so I can traumatize into scrap mastery.
>>48115001
I know that feel, anon
I too want this
>>48114883
>Newzilek
Original Kozilek is better. Menace is a non factor most of the time and the unconditional draw 4 is more reliable imo. He's a much better win condition by himself cause of Annihilator. The disrupting shoal effect on Newzilek is unreliable and you cant expect to catch everything with 3 other people playing stuff. The only thing that Newzilek has over OG Kozilek is him not attracting as much hate initially cause people get triggered by Annihilator.
Also, if you plan to play colorless seriously, and not dumb shit like eldrazi tribal, then be prepared to spend a pretty penny on key cards and lands. No, you cant go 40 Wastes.
>>48107654
>>48114808
>Shattergang
I wish I liked them. I want to, don't get me wrong, but every iteration I've planned out for them has just been slow as hell. They just feel slow and grindy.
>>48115001
You could use Mishra, I guess.
