Why is a 13 year old girl dressed as a gay pirate?
>>47697180
Why aren't you?
OP's edition has me wondering about a Guy Fieri deck. All I can think of is Greed and Ulamog, The Ceaseless Hunger. I don't even know who the general would be.
>>47697257
He Who Hungers, duh.
>>47697180
Silly Anon, that's a 13-year old boy dressed as a gay pirate.
>>47697310
Jesus that's a terrible card
>>47697310
But then you lose green and all its hunger/feed cards
>>47697351
Is it, though?
>>47697396
In that case, The Gitrog Monster.
>>47697351
It's not THAT bad, it's obviously spirit tribal only but in spirit tribal it's a mind slash stapled to an okay body with soul shift as well
>>47697257
Stuff a bunch of Devour cards in there
>>47697257
So, Gitrog Monster as the Commander. Put in Ulamog the Ceaseless Hunger, He Who Hungers, Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger.
Greed, as many things with Devour as you can, Devour Flesh, Feast of the Unicorn, Faceless Devourer, etc.
>>47697120
>mfw i have a pirate deck that smashes the shit out of people
Does Mycoloth work better in mimeoplasm reanimator or new ezuri aggro and dorks?
>>47697496
Devour with a tribal subtheme.
Have someone 'alter' all your token makers with a sharpie. Your Thallids no longer make Saprolings, they make Nacholings. You don't get a Spider token from Penumbra Spider, you get a Slider token. You don't get Elf tokens, you get E.L.F.udge tokens. You don't get Wurm tokens, you get Gummi Wurm tokens.
>>47697537
Ehh, I'd say newzuri I guess
The card is kinda slow but newzuri speeds it up so that's cool
I can see why you'd want to copy it with mimeo and that also speeds it up using mimeo's counters, but the result is just a decent number of tokens during upkeeps, and I think thats strong but not necessarily better than avenger of zendikar or other token making creatures
>>47697522
Have you posted it here? I've seen a Pirate deck in these threads that was a fucking masterstroke in terms of flavor
>>47697521
Hot soup
Brindle Boar
Protean Hulk
>>47697708
Don't forget to wash it down with Bottle Gnomes.
>>47697537
I think Ezuri. Say you only devour one thing, and that leaves you with just Ezuri and no experience counters on turn... 4.
Next upkeep, you get two Saprolings, which gives you two counters, and then Ezuri can put two counters onto your Mycoloth. Next turn it makes four Saprolings, which gives you four Experience counters, and then Ezuri can put six counters on your Mycoloth. Then next upkeep it makes 10, etc, etc.
>>47697257
Nourishing Shoal
>>47697762
Food Chain, Feed the Clan, Feed the Pack, Cruel Feeding, Feeding Frenzy, GUILTFEEDER, Urge to Feed, Spike Feeder, Time to Feed
>>47697730
I feel where you are coming from, but say you have Mycoloth and a random creature in your graveyard, you play mimeoplasm as a 4/4 (assuming no creatures to devour) and you get however many counters automatic, then you put that many saproling into play right at your next upkeep
Newzuri grows it faster but mimeoplasm gets you that value quicker, which is kind of the difference between newzuri and mimeoplasm in general, newzuri is kinda durdly and mimeoplasm is splashy
>>47697914
Why not both?
>>47697680
have not posted any of my decks here but it is flavorful as fuck
pirates
stealing shit
sea monsters
anything with a pirate theme to it
>>47697929
Original question asker. I only have 1 mycoloth and don't feel like buying another. Already have Avenger in Ezuri as well, but I run alot of sac outlets in ezuri too so I'll need to give this some thought.

I need help figuring out 5 more things to cut.
Man, EDH deck building gets hard once you get down to needing to cut those last few cards to make the 99.
>>47698111
I think gleam of battle is a good cut, not the worst card ever but it's your most overcosted and durdly anthem effect
Fight or flight is kinda cool and I've never seen it before, but it also seems like it's a little underwhelming and you can probably cut it
Chandra the firebrand seems like one of the worse Chandra's, although I can see how it would be sweet with all your extra combat sorceries
Radiate seems like a very situational card that might be clogging up your hand when you'd rather just be spending your mana on other things
Patron of the Akki is kinda in a similar position to gleam of battle where it's one of your more expensive anthems and could be a potential cut
>>47697931
Who's the commander, or can you post the list.
>>47698381
Look at the OP you dingus
>>47698381
Anon there is 1 legendary Pirate in the entire game and it's in the OP
>>47697257
Eater of days, eaten by spiders, polukranos - world eater, eater of hope, eater of the dead, fat ass (from unhinged)
>>47698401

>>47698477

>>47697257
Marshdrinker Giant
Shame you can't blink him in Golgari colors
>>47698111
is there actually some place where you can get cards with altered art like this that is the same quality as normal cards?
I'm honestly a big proponent of picking a general that suits the tribe, rather than a general that necessarily is of that tribal type.
Like I consider Abzan to be the best color combination for Tribal Knights, so I wouldn't force myself into Jund or Monowhite if I was running Knight Tribal just to get a Knight for a general.
Same way if I wanted to do like Samurai, I'd prefer it to be Boros rather than monocolor.
>>47698676
Why would Abzan be best for Knights instead of Mardu?
I had a deck that was tribal Knights, but I used Tariel as the general. Worked real well too, since Tariel would distract people's removal from the actual threats I had - like my Knights themselves.

I hate asses (no not the creature type) as much as anyone, but the only way to defeat them is to be either cordial or sickly sweet, any kind of negative reaction only spurns them on more.
>>47698712
You deserve it for building something stupid like bird tribal
>>47698702
There are a lot of GW Knights I like. I'll admit, Red Knights are classic, but there are a fair share of both and green has a lot more "tribal matters" cards.
>>47698712
sucks to suck at politics. But seriously you should consider a different general if you don't want hate. No one goes to fight club with a gun and says "no seriously guys, it's just for pistol whips"
>>47698712
I think I know you. The guys at our local shop still talk about your bird legacy decks and I got into a conversation with you about how Derevi is perfect for bird tribal, if only she wasn't so good.
>>47698712
Bird tribal is only decent in Legacy you dummy. How do you expect to throw out Soulcatcher's Aerie within a few turns in EDH?
I want to build Newzuri elf tribal. The synergy between him and Joraga Warcaller was enough to sway me. Never done elfball before, though. Any spicy tech I should keep an eye out for?

Turns out when you do a mass entry from Tappedout onto TCGPlayer, it doesn't actually fucking add the fucking commander to the fucking cart.
I'm so god damn mad right now and I have no one but myself to blame. Holy shit.
>>47699396
Use a proxy and let em know you'll have your commander next time you guys play.
>>47699415
This, really its personal preference, inpersonally like to own the cards i play with but there is at least 2 guys at my lgs who play with most cards written on an island in pen its kinda sad one even keeps his pen proxies in a trade binder to keep them safe as if they were the real thing

To the anon asking about storage/travel. The KMC 1000 card box is pretty nice, solid and fits sleeved cards. They are about $15 on amazon. If you do order one make sure you select the vendor hyaK since they are in the US (assuming you are in NA) and it wont take 30 days to travel across the Pacific.

The eldrazi shuffle effect is a triggered ability and not a replacement effect, and can therefore be responded to.

I built a teysa combo deck. I took it to my LFS edh day, and I won both games, one vs prosh, karador and the other had brogo. One was a turn 4 infinite. How come she isn't considered a t1 commander with the rest of those. I guess I can see the lack of blue from the esper commanders, but not all the t1 commanders are blue. She's definitely been stronger than my meren deck I took apart which was considered t2

>>47699597
Nobody knows.
Every Rakdos deck plays out the exact same way. They put together a game plan of enablers and fatties, and then when they sit down and draw their 7, they realize their deck doesn't work.
You play your turn 3 lobber crew, and hope it lives. You play rakdos on turn 4 and hope he lives. Then, finally, on turn 5, you get to make a play. Meanwhile, the other decks are playing efficiently costed cards on their turns because their decks aren't half composed of pingers and the other half fatties.
Godspeed anon. A friend of mine gave me a personal challenge to make a Rakdos deck that isn't garbage assuming a roughly 70% meta, and I've tried three separate builds so far. If the tech exists, you won't find it posted here.
>>47699597
>>47700876 is correct, Rakdos is inherently inconsistent. If you don't draw the correct combination of damage spells and fatties the deck just doesn't work
>>47700876
>>47701029
B-but Black is king of tutoring
>>47701144
instead of tutoring for pingers and fatties you could've been tutoring for much better things
>>47700876
That's because the deck relies on the commander too much to function. You should NEVER cast your commander naked, you need mana for Boots/Cloak/whatever. Every EDH deck needs 36-38 lands, Sol Ring and protection, and then you fill it out with your shit. Rakdos can't really get protection online without deterring from the goal of a pinger -> Rakdos -> Fatty. And if you stray away from that plan, your deck just doesn't do anything. There's no real redundancy (like Roon having a fuckton of blink enablers and not really needing to play Based Rhinoman)
It feels like it would be better to just run Rakdos as B/R goodstuff deck, relying more on Kiki-Jiki and MikeTrike shenanigans rather than EldraziNPingers.dek. If that's the case, Grenzo would work better.
Fuck, Rakdos is such a bad player trap. EDH is full of that stuff too.
>>47701156
for sure, but I don't see why Rakdos would be inconsistent. My boros voltron deck can pull off its schtick everytime as long I I don't get manascrewed
>>47701167
>mfw I run only 31 lands and 3 rocks without having any mana problems b/c White is the best at fetching behind Green
>>47701144
Cool, demonic tutor for prodigal pyromancer can be your turn 2 play. There just comes a point where you have to tutor for some crap like onyx goblet and you see just how pitiful your strategy is.
Rakdos himself can be very powerful, but the deck just doesn't have enough cards that fit the Rakdos niche, so you have to develop some kind of consistent subtheme. The next problem you're going to have is picking a subtheme that is:
* Limited to black/red
* isn't vulnerable to single-card shutdowns like rest in peace or aura of silence.
* Has interaction with Rakdos
If you can't do these things, you might as well play a third color. The game plan overlap of black/red just has worse options than other colors. You want to play a black/red deck with eldrazi in it? Play Kresh or something.
>>47701205
Your boros voltron doesn't have to play garbage cards in order to play your commander. Your boros voltron doesn't depend on sticking low-value creatures in order to be able to afford the mana costs on the rest of the deck.
The real issue is that classic Rakdos doesn't have enough cards that fit his niche, so you have to play trash cards just to be allowed to cast spells. That means every time you draw, when something could have been a land, rock, crucial removal, or threat, you could draw a piece of shit in a sleeve.
>>47701393
I never said it was good. I said there shouldn't be a problem with consistency. It can/will be consistently crap

What are some fun ways to run Dralnu?

All the junk cards, full graveyard use.
>>47701637
Because her flavor is ass and thats not my favorite flavor
>>47701663
>>47701663
Dralnu
Mill cards that target you
Self mill cards
Lands
Try to mill yourself out before the rest of the table can do 40 damage
>>47701663
Dralnu is just like Rakdos: looks fun, plays badly. Your commander is basically a phyrexian negator, which means you load your deck with boots-type cards or your game will be ruined. So lets say you get dralnu in play with a wispersilk or some shit. Your deck is loaded with cards that do nothing but stop your commander from losing you the game, but that doesn't matter the moment you cast walk the aeons, and then recast it.
The highs and lows of this card are so drastic that you should be rewarded by some interesting games when things do go to plan. In practice, playing with or against a Dralnu wearing greaves is a bit dull. He would be much more fun in the 99.
I'm considering just going full circle and just buying rhys like I've always wanted, man I wish he was cheaper fuck.

No way bby I'll have to buy you dinner first.
>>47701896
Do you really need all those combat phases and MLD? Especially Island-killers.
So these 4 color general EDH decks coming out soon are going to suck ass, right? Unless everyone is just going to built it on a green skeleton and ramp their way into near rainbow + goodstuff.dec
Even still, seems like you're asking for a dicking with that mana base.
>>47701896
Possibility Storm is doing you no favors, since you can tutor out all the gear you need.
Hellkite Igniter is too expensive and Hoard-Smelter is probably better since he can smash your opponents' rocks and boost himself. Myriad Landscape is too slow. Goblin War Drums is cute but doesn't help at all late-game, and you have better evasion in there anyway. That nonbasic landwalk is cool. Get an Inquisitor's Flail to double down on damage, maybe lose the higher-cost combat phase stuff like Fury of the Horde.
Also some Rituals, Strata Scythe and Masterwork of Ingenuity would work wonders in here.

In my kaalia deck too, and yes I did win, I stole 22 artifacts from the daretti player like 5 were creatures, and I had like 5 noncreature artifacts of my own
What happened was after I stole, naturally the table came up with the k grip to kill the swift boots, then the doom blade to kill the tyrant, but 3 turns later (5 person game), dude goes for a living death, forgetting about the tyrant, I still had all my mana rocks and all the daretti player's voltaic key unwinding clock nonsense
Ended up winning with exactly 20 artifacts

Basically the same strategy with Mizzix really. Try him out, add some X spells.
>>47702951
I mean, any way you want. You could just steal rocks to ramp into fatties at the very least.
>>47702981
Mizix would need a much lower curve compared to what I run with Melek. It's rock ramp into explosive stuff like bribery and knowledge exploitation. I think of Mizzix more as storm-centric.

Nah, I decided I could spend that money on just getting the singles for my legacy deck, none of which were in EMA. Even have someone selling for MSRP here, but I still think it's too much for wh\at they have.
>>47703139

Hey /tg/ I'm thinking of building pic related is the precon worth getting or should I just buy singles.
Just picked this bad boy up. What deck do I put him in?
>>47701637
Fuck I want god tribal now
>>47702951
Run invisibility, artful dodge, aqueous form, robe of mirrors, neurok stealthsuit, whispersilk cloak, fabricate. Just make sure she's unblockable, grab their biggest rocks. Pack the deck with sea monsters, eldrazi, counters, and bounce spells
>>47703004
Mizzix must have: Reiterate + Seismic Spike
People will turn into Lot's Wife from the saltiness.
>>47703349
Put it in with Mycosynth Lattice.
>>47703139
Drafting it a couple times, but will mainly try to trade for the singles I need rather than buy. It's not too many.
>>47703258
mono blue artifacts
>>47703150
Yes that's exactly right, the 3 mana is what's called an "additional cost"
When you cast a spell you choose either to pay the normal cost or any "alternative" costs available to you (such as force of will)
THEN, any additional costs are added, then any cost reductions are subtracted, then you pay the final total
>>47703139
Got boosters, pretty meh but i got vamp tutor, maze of ith, foil counterspell, 2 foil fact or fiction, foil arcanis (lol) like 2 chainlightning and cabal therapy, oh and 2 turd apes, 0 pyro/hydroblast
Remember, on TCG a booster box is $200 cheaper than 36 individual EMA packs.
>>47703715
it's only 160 bucks?
shieeet
>>47703715
EMA boxes have 24 packs, not 36.
>>47703218
>>47703139
Note: they will probably never be cheaper than a month from now, when the market has flooded with them and the preorder hype has died down some. Prices always slump after preorders are done, though they will absolutely be slinking back on up within 2016.

>>47702603
>Artifacts are insanely strong
I know. Early last year I bought the Daretti C14 precon and fell in love
Ended up beating the shit out of my group too, we were all new to EDH at that point and I think it put a bad taste in their mouths because they don't really play artifact shenanigans nearly as much as I do
>>47697120
nth for flavortown me some good art
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ramses-overdark-art-tribal/
What's the minimum number of players you would do a draft with? I have a small group of friends who we do EDH nights with, but some of them live upstate and we can only all get together once every few months. I wanted to get some amount of EMA to open for fun and to add some value to my binder but I'm worried the draft won't be as fun if we don't have enough people.
>>47703936
6 or 8 i would do. any less and its just sad. trust me
>>47703256
>>47703256
Depends on the price you get the pre-con for.
I got mine for $27, and it included a $20 card, plus like 15-20 pieces I wound up using, not including basic lands. Good purchase, but that was some time back.
Finished up my Sigarda list, feedback appreciated: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/sigarda-the-introvert/
>>47703256
I would say the precon because Wurmcoil Engine alone is like $17 and you can get the precon for around $35 ish
>>47703256
>buying daretti
Honestly you should just kill yourself, that aside there is alot of decent value cards in the deck that cost more outside of the deck then buying the precon to get them. So to answer your question its worth buying the precon but you are a shit for playing daretti
>>47704478

>maximum sodium
>>47701315
I've been trying to build around this idea of getting my opponent to stack his hand then I discard it all and do massive damage to him in one turn. I decided to try and build this deck into a rakdos commander deck with some fatties to build a wall while I do direct damage. It was wildly inconsistent as a 60 card deck and I imagine it will be terrible as a commander deck. But I did manage to hit someone for 14 damage on turn 4, so it does have potential.
>>47704536
>implying red is the problem
Nothing wrong with play red, just that most daretti players play the most cheap ass combos and seem to blow their load way too early and then can't understand why they get hated on by the group.
>>47704808
Dude this describes the daretti player in my playgroup perfectly
He also plays brago stax and gets mad when we spend our removal on fuckong torpor orbs and winter orbs
>>47704808
>lol ur commanders fed
>lol ur lands r gone
>lol turn 3 wurmcoil
>lol artifact wipe for five mana
>lol infinite combat steps
Is red too powerful for EDH?
>>47705057
Sorry the torpor orb is in a diff deck not Brago
You get the picture tho, all his decks run shit that hates the other decks in the game and expects us not to remove the shit that shuts us down on account of it shutting down our opponents besides him
>>47705059
You seem to misunderstand, only daretti players play like idiots using cheap combos. Most other red players don't play everything hate.
>>47705057
>gets mad when we play removal on torpor orb and winter orb
I dropped torpor orb t2 with my tasigur deck. I accepted the hate that came with it, but I have to ask is the torpor orb/winter orb combo in brago or daretti?
>>47705164

But you get asshurt and will scream unfair when someone annuls your darksteel forge.
>kys
I don't understand this autism speak. The sooner you accept you're a cheap combo fuck the better you will be.
>>47705293
Stop being so whiney. Artifact creatures are the second easiest thing to remove in EDH, second only to a commander you can swing at.
>>47705308
I'm not whining though just pointing out the obvious and you keep replying. If seriously can't handle someone poking fun at your deck you should stop playing altogether. Chill out or better yet have your next post be "I was only pretending to be retarded."
>>47705293
You cant stand the fact wizards bought out preconstructed decks and even moreso that some have *gasp* a planeswalker as a commander, back on your high horse grampa some people actually like new people joining the game so we dont have to hear people like you complain about how much better the tempest block was for type 2 games while you slaver over your revised duals

I actually can't count the number of games I've wonplaying my Slobad deck of of T1/2 mana rocks into t3/4 Wurmcoil/Lodestone Golem/Meatball and next turn Jokulhaups saccing a rock to make the fatty indestructible.
>>47705716
How does kurkesh fare on his own as a commander? Ive used him in artifact heavy decks before and he seems abit hit and miss
>>47703347
Go for it. Pretty much only gods that cost something are Keranos and Thassa.
>>47699396
You imported a list from tapped out to tcg and didnt check the entire list before you ordered it?
I have used the import feature and tcg's mechanism to pick sellers at the lowest price and correct grade are complete shit. In my case it had over 25 different packages at over $200 which I eventually got down to 12 and around $170.
You must not value money or are just an idiot to not have noticed.

He slow, and my meta has learned that my durdling generally ends with everyone dying.
But he was the first deck I made myself and so he'll always have a place in my heart.
But honestly there is nothing quite like having Bosh chuck himself at somebody twice for the kill.

>>47707097

Nice. Cool rule set too, I'd play with that.
>>47706556
Shit,
>>47706481
How come most of the mana symbols in the text boxes for Mirrodin aren't colored? I have a Savage Beating that has the same issue as that Bosh

They were going to keep doing it outside of mirrodin, but that alleged legibility issue convinced them to switch back.

I don't even want to imagine how spiky your group is. I wish I had that much disposable income.
>>47700679

>>47701167
Surely using Rakdos with fatties already worth running and hard casting is the answer?
Like, it won't be three huge colorless fatties, but even a 3 mana discount is worth it.
Should I build Melek or Mizzix? Either one would end up in the 99 of the other

Eh, I guess sometimes they have to get the salt out of their system.
How do I deal with an Uril player in our playgroup?
I'm in Abzan colors.Should i just jam as many boardwipes and sac outlets as I can manage?
Anafenza's the commander, so Merciless Executioner/Chainer's Edict wouldn't be that bad in general.
It's especially hard in 1v1 games, but maybe my commander is just bad.
>>47703139
I have a box waiting for me. I'll also probably draft a few times in store.
It wasn't a good purchase. Even if I win the lottery and pull good cards, I don't play Legacy and I won't be able to move them.
I essentially am playing 300 dollars for about 60 bucks store credit and a handful of cute commander cards. But if I get to draft it, I'll be happy.
>>47705716
Nice. Respect.
>>47707977
Jam a Glaring Spotlight in that shit
>>47707977
You should've been running Merciless anyway. But yeah, Chainers is great. But honestly, you are in the best colors to deal with this. Run Fracturing Gust.
>>47707931
Mizzix. As just one of the 99 she's not that great.
>>47707977
>Playing W/B
>Not playing Merciless Eviction

>>47708163
Yeah I thought so
I don't want to do Turns.dec though, what would make for some interesting stuff with her?
>>47708209
Find red and blue spells that are fun.
Cast them cheaply and in great quantities.
>>47707097
Chaosphere
>tfw your entire playgroup are a bunch of control heavy faggots that do nothing but turtle, spam removal and wait to combo off while occasionally countering part of each other's combos
I hate this.
Are there any cards that shuts out this kind of play entirely? I'd rather deal with goodstuff.dec than fedoracombolord.dec
>>47708376
Defense Grid oughta shut them up.
Also, Grand Abolisher.
>>47708376
There's a few things you could do, depending on what kind of combos they're using.
City of Solitude, Price of Glory, War's Toll, Stranglehold, Back to Basics, Defense Grid, Teferi (creature), Aura Shards, Rule of Law, Arcane Laboratory, Vexing Shusher, Grand Abolisher, Red Elemental Blast, Pyroblast
I mean, most of this is control in itself, but that's the main way to stop control in EDH.
>>47708403
So the only way to stop them from being faggots is to become the U/W Lawfag myself. Damn it.
>>47708449
I mean, there's also the meta-solution of sitting down with them like adults and saying that you find the overly durdly counter-heavy metagame frustrating and unfun, and ask if everyone would be interested in building a more aggressive deck to just try it out.
But considering you're asking for answers to "control heavy faggots" and "fedoracombolord" on 4chan instead of attempting that solution, I doubt it would work anyway.
>>47708449
You don't have to be W/U lawfag.
Most of what I listed >>47708445 is Red and Green, which can really fuck up U's day.
>>47708445
>>47708449
There is another way, brothers.
Vexing Shusher/any mittful of "can't be countered effects", right into motherfucking Thieves' Auction.
My playgroup stopped playing their boring as fuck decks after a few games of Eye of the Storm/Thieves Auction/Warp World etc.
Basically any card that just says "FUCK YOU, FUCK EVERYONE, WE'RE DONE HERE" by completely destroying the game state without any regard for your own victory.
>>47708449
Also, as a note, City of Solitude even stops mana abilities, even lands, from being used. It's the literal "you can't do anything on my turn" card.
>>47708488
I don't like going full chaos with stuff like Eye of the Storm because it's disruptive in the worst way. When it takes a solid 2 minutes to resolve any spell anyone casts, I'm gonna scoop because I have better shit to do.
>>47708521
That's the point. It's no different than sitting through 45 minutes of draw-go-counterspell attrition until someone at the table manages to get their foot in the door and ejaculate off their instant win combo.
I just find it to be the most boring, especially for a multiplayer format.
>>47708546
Neither's very fun. I don't like spending 45 minutes playing draw-go until someone combos out, but I also don't like having my choices be "Pass turn" or "spend 5 minutes figuring out how all this resolves every time I cast anything".
>>47708564
I feel like the original point of EDH making it singleton format was to basically spit in combo's face, but with the amount of "same card, different name" reprints over the years, combos haven't lost any functionality at all. It's crazy to think how many options there are for reliable, consistent EDH combos even when you're only allowed to run 1-ofs.
I almost want to make a new format that is more what I'm looking for. It's frustrating trying to have that balance of interaction without it being Creatures : The Tappening, or "One turn instant win combo".
>>47708592
I mean, technically the original point of EDH was to give Judges a chance to keep themselves sharp by forcing weird interactions that normally never happen.
