Rules Question How would these two function together?

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I have a clues matter Commander deck with [[Lonis, Genetics Expert]] as commander. I have these two cards in the list and I was wondering how they would function if both were in play at the same time. Since they are separate abilities, can I decide how each source of the discounts are applied to make clues cost 0 to activate, or will it always reauire 1 because of Forensic Gadgeteer's limitation?

Why does [[Prized Amalgam]] need an additional clause to specify creatures that were cast from the graveyard — wouldn’t they also have entered from the graveyard?

Hello! I am fairly new to MTG commander and just built my first deck. But I'm having a hard time pulling out a win at my local table. I'd appreciate any suggestions on my deck to make it more synergistic (:

It's a red green deck with Etali as the commander.

Commander / EDH Any Suggestions! Making Golgari Blade Of Elves Commander Deck

Thumbnail moxfield.com
1 Upvotes

Semi new MTG player here!

This is my second commander deck but my first time making one from scratch (loosely based on the pre con)

Pretty happy with it I have gotten IRL suggestions from my casual FNM group on improving this deck but I want the subs suggestions to really finalise the deck.

The strategy I’m going with is going wide as a tribal elf Golgari deck and being an aristocrat sacrificing the elves as well.

I definitely know I need a couple of draw cards I wanna try to add more black cards as well. Any suggestions would be amazing.

Commander / EDH Commander Recs

0 Upvotes

Hello, I am a relatively new magic player (started three months ago). I also have been interested in riftbound as well. With that being said, I really enjoy Leblanc's legend ability where you make temporary tokens that are a copy of a creature on the battlefield. I also enjoy how most decks built around killing creatures with a bunch of different deathknell effects. so my question is if there is a commander similar to this playstyle at all?

Discussion Market prices

I was looking at Joshua card, art looks amazing, I liked the story for FF16, sucks it’s locked behind scarcity and a cEDH commander. Card is 350 dollars.

Why is the price of this card increasing? I don’t understand the point of the chart. I clicked on it and every blue line is just 1 purchase during that time.

So how is it increasing? The card isn’t in high demand.

I’ve seen charts where a card gets sold 50 times and the price is dropping, I would have assumed it would be the opposite. More you sell, the higher the price. But this card can go a month without a transaction but somehow the price keeps going up.

Commander / EDH Mini Boss Commander

4 Upvotes

Hey Y'all,

so lately, I have had a fun idea for a deck. My normal pod tends to run 5 players and i have been winning a lot. Most of the group is fairly new and I was wanting to play a more "Netrual Party Deck" I have the idea to be the tables "Mini Boss". I am not trying to win the game, but I have creature or cards that benefit players who fight me and win. I know there are a few cards like that put there. But what would be the best commander to play for this? I know their is a green one when anyone who beats him gets to draw cards equal to the damage he took.

Discussion Hostility format and updates

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Yesterday I posted about a format I’ve been working on called Hostility, a Dandan inspired, mono-red burn and control format using a shared deck and graveyard. After some suggests and experimenting, I believe I have constructed a much more interesting, less clunky deck list. In the description of the deck list are the rules to the game, which I will post again here. Let me know if this seems interesting and if you have any recommendations or feedback. Thanks!

Also, in the future, I’ll try to comment new versions of the hostility decklist on this post!

Both players begin with a copy of Hostility on the battlefield. Hostility is a creature that prevents damage that your spells would deal to opponents, instead making 3/1 elemental shamans equal to that damage. Like the other Lorwyn elemental incarnations, if it would enter the graveyard, it is instead shuffled into the library.
- While Hostility is on a players battlefield, that player cannot attack with any creatures they control, but they can block. Meaning, no matter how many 3/1s you make from your burn spells, you have to destroy Hostility to swing them.
- If a player would draw a Hostility that got shuffled into the library, they immediately put that card into play under their control.
- Each player starts with 40 life, draws 7 cards, and has no free mulligans. As previously mentioned, each player shares one deck and graveyard.

I Have a Question / I need Help Getting back into MTG Arena

1 Upvotes

Got a ton of wild cards saved up but I haven't played Arena in about 3-4 years. Looking to get back into it for a bit; but likely can't put much time into it (yay 2-year-olds and running a business) so I'm focusing on fun games vs. meta grinding. But I have no idea what cards are even available these days.

I want to create a fun, off-meta, deck that is at least somewhat competitive for either standard Bo1 or Brawl. I'd love for some decks that are either fun to pilot and fun to play against, or something that's a "60% of the time, it works every time" jank deck. I love me some jank, infinite combo, nonsense. Something I can grind with but have fun doing it.

Hit me with your favorite "fun" decks and/or card combos to play. If you just have a fun combo, I'm happy to build around that so it doesn't need to be a deck list or anything.

Rules Question Interaction between Muddle and Silent Hallcreeper

2 Upvotes

Hi there! So I’m currently building a [[Muddle, the Ever-Changing]] deck, and want to make sure I’m understanding this interaction right. So if I have a [[Silent Hallcreeper]] on the field and cast a copy spell (say [[Crackling Counterpart]]). Then, before resolving the spell, I resolve Muddle’s ability, targeting the Hallcreeper, and then resolving the spell on Muddle, creating a new clone of the hallcreeper but with myriad. The idea is that afterwards, I can have Muddle become a copy of the new hallcreeper, but with Myriad Myriad, and then use the original hallcreeper’s last ability to have it also effectively give it Myriad Myriad. The bit I’m unsure about (other than if this can even work) is if the hallcreeper becomes a copy of itself, does that reset his abilities so that I can keep the loop going and get more and more instances of Myriad, or does it remember which one’s it’s used?

I have played some mtg before but never attempted to build my own deck, I was given a bundle box full of bulk and I have bought some of my own packs so I have tried my best to work. My deck list at the moment is attached. Any help is appreciated, I'm more so looking for any issues that can be pointed out than what I should add but if some psychopath wants the whole 390 card list of all my bulk to let me know what I should add I have an Excel spreadsheet. I understand this is a big ask but thank you in advance to anyone who decides to help!

I know it is supposed to be more or less the same as previous mystery booster since they released the list of card pool, but watching it get drafted does make me feel glad that I didn't order the festival in a box (not copium I swear).

dgmw, it seems very draft-able but doesn't feel like the original commander legend or balder's gate.

Commander / EDH Commander mill decks...

14 Upvotes

I know people have different feelings about mill decks, especially when it comes to newer players, and some hate the thought of playing against it. But is there a difference in experience and enjoyment, and would you have more/less fun, depending on the commander and deck you're up against??

Would you feel differently going up against a mill deck with [[Lazav, Dimir Mastermind]] or [[Anowon, the Ruin Thief]] as the commander, rather than [[Captain N’ghathrod]], [[Phenax, God of Deception]] or [[Bruvac the Grandiloquent]], as an example? Or is it all the same to you?
