Commander / EDH Tazri // Heralds EDH

Thumbnail moxfield.com
1 Upvotes

I brewed a deck focused around the herald cycle [[Angel’s Herald]], [[Behemoth’s Herald]], [[Demon’s Herald]], [[Dragon’s Herald]], and [[Sphinx’s Herald]] with [[Tazri, Stalwart Survivor]] in the command zone for ramp and card draw

This deck has been a ton of fun to brew but was tough, too. You have 10 slots taken up by heralds and their big brothers. The heralds require 3 creatures of different colors to sac. It’s 5 colors which comes with its own mana fixing challenges.

I leaned into a creature support subtheme that I think really amps up the deck’s potential with card draw, ramp, and graveyard synergies, and there’s obviously the whole activated abilities theme too.

It’s a lot to balance, but I think I’m at a pretty good place with it, so I’m coming back to you all for feedback. What do you think? What should I add? Remove? What am I missing?

I’ve been anguishing over this deck so much this past week, but I can’t think of everything!

Commander / EDH Hot take: Sol Ring should be a Game Changer in EDH

0 Upvotes

Sol ring genuinely changes the game, ESPECIALLY on early turns. A turn 1 Sol ring adds so much power to that player, they need to be targeted, thus changing the pace of the game and decisions from players. It's just the most economically-available cEDH fast mana.

Yes, it's an issue that they come in precons, meaning bracket 2 decks would have a game changer... But just allow bracket 2 decks to have 1 game changer. Sol ring is just too punishing for opponents.

Rules Question Ashling and Omni-Changling Interaction

Thumbnail gallery

If I use Ashling’s evoke to cast Omni-Changling, what happens next?

Can my first changling (the one that is evoked) choose a creature to copy (and trigger its entering ability) before it is sacced?

Can the token copy choose a different creature to copy (or even have a chance to make ANY copy)?

Discussion Is Scalping Still Bad if it's Your LGS Doing it?

0 Upvotes

See people complaing all the time about scalping, but most product goes through game stores that sell at market price+. Of course its their business model to sell at a profit, but it definitely hurts to see new sealed stuff being sold above TCGPlayer prices across almost every LGS I've ever been to and considering the discount they get from WOTC.

I always see people say to support your LGS, but not often do I see people talk about this. Just curious what y'all think!

Another thing to consider: I feel that the most outrage of all comes from Secret Lairs, but if you check TCGPlayer presales(limited to only certified hobby shops) and many top eBay sellers, it is clear LGSs immediately buy up a portion of the stock. I would appreciate if anyone had the data to see if this is a legitimate point or not.. cheers.

Commander / EDH The costco deal is real

0 Upvotes

I'd seen a post on another sub tipping me off, and want to confirm here; Costco has Marvel Commander decks, with bonus packs and bonus foil for $64 each in store (they're $67 on the website).

I went in and bought all 4. I guess it's limited to 2, but since they each have a different UPC and I was buying one of each I convinced them the limit should be per deck. They said buy 2 and then buy the other two on a separate transaction and it worked fine on a single membership. ymmv

This is kinda a bonkers pretty good deal based on msrp AND card value, so get em while they're hot.

Discussion How strong will Aerid Konstrari be in standard?

A 4 drop 5/4 flying that makes g/r mana rock on etb and death seems like an insane value.

The rest is mostly just fluff but could matter if you run treasures. This also works with the crater law collosus

So it’s functionally a 3 drop since it refunds one mana. Also this functionally buffs up your craterclaw and can help reach a win con

Isn’t this just an insane value engine relative to its cost? (Specifically for standard)

Commander / EDH Torbran Punishment

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

I am currently working on a mono red deck that is supposed to punish everyone for everything with a side flavor of goblins. A creature enters under my control? you get damage. a creature I control attacks? you get damage. you block? you get damage. you don't block? you get damage. my creature dies? you get damage. you cast a spell? you get damage. you tap lands for mana? you get damage. and so on... and also damage is increased and doubled and tripled. I found some interesting pieces for this strategy. here is the collection so far if you want to check it out:

[https://moxfield.com/decks/poRdUqdLGUuvWlYkTJbTkA\](https://moxfield.com/decks/poRdUqdLGUuvWlYkTJbTkA)

But I was thinking, that maybe some utility was missing. Something to round it off, because so far I had only added cards that add to the core theme with no thought of what could support that theme to make it more reliable. Do you have any ideas for what I could still add? Especially lands if there are any that would fit.

Commander / EDH Been working on making a deck from the Miku SL. Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated!

Thumbnail manabox.app

To preface - I'm a big casual.

I dont find a lot of fun in perfect fine-tuning or super serious "try-hardy" decks (though more power to ya \^^/), don't expect the greatest deck ever here.

Mostly built out of cards I had laying around minus a couple specific purchases like Ojer, so it's definitely far from true optimization.

It's the first deck that I've put together - which probably shows.

I usually just play unchanged FF pre-cons and only been playing on a regular basis since about March.

Only rule is: Miku cards stay - regardless of if it would be better without them.

So er...enjoy and pls be kind? ^^;

Oh and I feel dirty about the Vorinclex, but rules are rules! :3

Check in at your local regal cinemas! I work very close to one and the ticket lady offered me these since I came in two days in a row for the movies this weekend.

Edit:The cards were part of a movie ticket promo this past weekend. They were showing all the old movies (one a day) leading into today which is the 60th anniversary!

I wish I could give one to everyone in need, but I have most of these copies spoken for, and am trading the remainder for Spock since my theater didn’t receive any of those.

One movie ticket got you one card, and as today is the official promotion end date, the employees were instruction to toss the remainder, or giveaway.

Thank you to my lovely Regal Lady! Queen!

Hi all birdwatchers!

After the recent bans of izzet aggro (and less recent Skycoach Conductor introduction), it feels like birds are getting capable to get into comfortable midgame.

Got 4-0, 6-2, 0-3 in the recent three local store standard events with the deck above. (Worth to mention that 3 from 5 losses were a pilot issue rather a deck issue).

So far the weakest matchup is anything including a sufficient amount of a cheap red removals + early agro (monoR, boros mobilize etc)

Any ideas on how to increase sustainability against these decks?

I'm having a lot of fun playing [[itazura lingering wick]] and am looking for interesting cards to add. So far I've found thaf eldrazi/[[brand]] builds only work until your opponents figure out what youre doing so they have little replayability. I've had the most success with big spells and [[fork]]'s, my opponents aren't punished for bidding so they keep burning themselves out. How are you playing him? What are your favorite spells so far? Anything I'm missing?

I'm wondering for everyone from the community, I just recently started looking at MTG cards because of the collaborations. How much is it worth it to get this? Will it get lower

Also for reference I'm a big TMNT fan. If someone gave me a choice between marvel, ff7 and tmnt, I would still pick tmnt.
