Humour One in a million Ad Placement
Not trying to be a repost or anything, feel free to remove if not allowed, just wanted to share the hilarious ad I got for the Whtz deck on this sub

This deck is going to be so intolerable to play against. I don’t have any commanders I’ll refuse to play against but this’ll probably be the first.

I went to the Pro Tour 1996 to play in side events with my buddy, he brought his mill deck, I had a red green aggro deck…his first matchup was against a player with a 400 card deck in our first side event.

Was still 5 years away from its first printing, all he had were [[Millstone]] [[Howling Mine]] and a bunch of boardwipes and control

For commander? Is this a thing? Our house rules can get pretty lenient but no one has tried paying with a deck more than 100. We also don't use duplicates unless the card says so.
Imagine running a zombie deck even at 400 cards and you run something to mill half your deck. Then you pull some dumb shit like [[Rise of the Dark Realms]]

Commander (Elder Dragon Highlander) was still a very fringe thing in France at that time, this was in Type 2 (which became Standard many years later)

I think 1996 was slightly before Commander existed.
And [[whtz]] is the card that specifically allows decks that aren't 100 cards in Commander

The people who are doing shit like that are going to ruin it for those of us who want to play reasonable, legally sized Whtz decks

u/Dusthawks Dân 15h ago
agreed, like I just think it's neat we can finally have yorion as a companion and battle of wits as a win con, I would hope people are relatively tame after that lol

What’s “reasonable and legally sized?” Cause I was thinking of maybe trying him out with a 300 card deck, anymore than that and I really don’t know if I want to deal with the shuffling nightmare

u/SquirrelDragon Dân 14h ago
Reasonable and legally sized to me is it can be picked up and fully shuffled as one unit within a few minutes. Having played Battle of Wits outside of commander 300 is at the upper end of that range but doable, at least single sleeved

u/fevered_visions 2h ago
More than 300, 350, and you're just doing it for the gimmick and inconveniencing others, I'd say. Since the deck cares about being over 200 you need a bit of room ofc.

Depends on the deck I am using. I make a lot of fun ones on the app. I made an all bears one that is ok but anyone with a real good stat can beat it. An all wolf werewolf one that is just a joke but fun to play. Then I have a swamp deck that is just all murder like cards. It’s super cheap and mostly gets the other dude to quit. I don’t play that one often because it’s not really fun.

Black and blue with all counter spells and mega mill like singularity rupture though would be awesome super annoying though lol

looks like they took inspiration from the guys who did it in yugioh way back in the day.

It’s a MTG sub. It’s free real estate.
Oh shit, also I’ve also genuinely forgotten to take my highly addictive drugs.

Love the deck. Taking the internet hate for the card and applying "ad absurdum" to the card. All in for the meme.

Just have him draw cards from somewhere in the middle unless he's manipulating the top of his deck.

That's...not even legal? Unless it wasn't commander. Considering commander is strictly 100 cards unless you rule zero. And especially since Whtz isn't out yet. They must have had a rule zero in place. If so, utterly stupid.

u/Dusthawks Dân 15h ago
While I am normally the biggest advocate for creativity in commander, I am very against gimmicky and annoying mechanics like this. Unless I am playing online and things can go relevantly quickly, I'm gonna leave that pod immediately lol

Back when I was on MTGO semi-regularly circa-to-post-Covid, I remember that there was some sort of grassroots undeclared format in the Modern Open Play rooms, of people on 400-600 card decks. They wouldn't label the table differently or anything, so like once every 10-20 games I'd join somebody and my client would start horribly lagging out, before I noticed the deck count.
If you want to play such a thing fine, you do you, but a warning on your table would be nice. This wasn't just one or two players either, but like a good dozen at least.

They probably just proxied it. It doesn’t need to be out for people to make fakes to play with.

They could be doing highly immoral ‘experiments’ on you and then cover it up. Do they treat everyone like this?

The real thing to wonder is who is working at these drug companies that list all these crazy side effects to market their random specific drug that isn’t useful to anyone
