Sultai is probably the most flexible. It has a lot of really good commanders.
I'd probably start w/ the type of cards u want to play w/. I like stuff like life from the loam, birthing pod and gy strategies. When I saw the rally the ancestors standard deck I wanted a similar edh deck and slowly converted my sidisi deck to a mass rez strat. It's now easily my favorite deck and haven't really seen anything else like it.
It can generate slow value and attrition out ppl w/ targeted rezzing, loam + cycle lands, pod and all the etb. Swarm w/ sidisi into craterhoof win. Or rez everything from everyone's gy and just win, or cast a massive genesis wave w/ urborg coffers combo. I stayed away from infinite combos b/c it tends to make decks boring imo.
it probably does effect the casuals playing at fnm. Those who r looking to just have fun and do what they want will most likely gravitate towards edh. I usually ask newer players what they r looking to get out of Magic and end up pointing them in the direction of edh instead of standard. My lgs is super competitive and stacked w/ tier 1 decks. So unless they want to be super competitive and drop some dough. Edh it is for them.
I only play edh now though, I don't have the time or money for standard anymore. /children
Love this card, he is still good w/ gishath since that just means he comes down for free so u will still have the mana to use his abilities.
Sweet as a commander since u get all the mana back u invested to cast him so u can cast him and still do everything else u want. Give him death touch and u can shoot stuff down easily. U won't always have aura shards so his destroy artifact/enchantment is awesome. Life gain is nvr bad and there r cards that do care about this.
Awesome card, players who love big stompy things that can gain value will love this. Like me <3
I learned a valueable lesson w/ my sidisi deck when I cut sol ring from it. The card just wasn't strong enough in the deck and I nvr missed it when I removed it. I think a lot of "auto" include cards should be evaluated if they fit into the deck or not.
Return to dust I think is fine, some colors just don't have access to enough of that type of removal.
I do think a lot of budget cards r overrated like temple of the false god and bounce lands. I've looked at a lot of newer edh players decks and these r usually the first things I have then pull out. Temple is more like a spell than an actual land, I always tell players to not count it in their land counts b/c of the land requirement. I've seen it so often it ends up being the 2nd or 3rd land drop and it's really embarrassing. Lol
Bounce lands r dangerous b/c of land destruction, it can really put u behind on tempo if someone is playing stuff like strip mine and make it feel like the player w/ more money really has a huge advantage. Plus they come into play tapped.
Looks like the decks will be 1 4c commander, and 2 2c commanders who don't share colors. Hopefully we get 10 new 2c commanders and 5 new 4c commanders.
Partner will be cool b/c when u take the decks apart u can make 4c or 3c partner commander decks which will make for a lot of interesting deck options. I'm very hopeful.
I enjoy mine, it's abzan colors, it's a cross between enchantress and superfriends. Mostly made up of cards I already own, I wanted to build an enchantress deck but also wanted to play all my favorite planeswalkers which happen to be mostly abzan colors.
Yea, that's what I was thinking, probably not good enough for super competitive builds, but angel of glory rise getting back humans and bruna able to get back any angel or human sounds like a good time.
Forgot about karmic guide, didn't realize she was an angel. <3
I was underwhelmed by this card when I first saw her, then I thought about jace, aot. Similar +1 and -2.
She can straight up kill X/1 or makes 1 creature very weak which can protect her/u. She can help u swing past larger creatures and break board stalls. Also she can help burn kill larger creatures.
Her -2 is solid ca, get ur best creature or a solid utility creature.
Her ult is powerful, but it's really hard to get to, I doubt u will ever ult her. Against aggro or midrange it will be hard to protect her long enough and against control she probably won't live long enough to ult, u will be better off getting the CA from her -2.
Solid for midrange and rock style decks. Sorta like a black jace, aot but fits in midrange and not control.
While I was hoping to play my newly constructed deck and evaluate its performance to make a few tweaks, I don't think I want to make significant changes based on that experience. I did that early on with my Oloro deck when I played against a mill deck. I added like 8 anti mill cards, then never played against a mill deck again, and now only run one anti mill card that also gains me life.
I was looking over ur deck a little, ur running loam but none of the cycle lands which creates a powerful engine that synergies with ur commander.
Lands like rupture spire and temple of the false god I find to be terrible, even on a budget. Rupture spire u lose tempo because it can prevent u from being able to cast a spell as it costs mana to play and it comes in tapped. Idk how many times temple has gotten stuck in my hand as my 4th land, preventing me from doing anything.
I find bounce lands to be dangerous, land destruction punishes u so badly for playing them.
As soon as he made everyone discard on t4, if I had no real way to stay in the game, I would have scooped, and if others wanted to stay in and grind it out, found a new group to play with.
It's fine to play casual, but u have to be able to protect urself and interact with what ppl r doing, u never know what ppl r going to bring even to "casual" games. Now u know some weaknesses to ur deck that needs to be covered.
Another ******* jace?! Seriously, I'm so tired of seeing jace, every set has to have a jace. They need to kill jace off!! Ug, ruins the set for me. I really haven't enjoyed the direction wizards of the jace is taking magic.
Resent sets have had 80% of their value in like 2 mythics. Or in origins,90% in jace.
Wotj, we hear u like jace so we r going to put jace in ur jace served with a side of jace, served by jace with Jace for dessert. Don't forget ur jace leftovers.
Oh that card is sweet, wouldn't run it as a general but it would be fun to recur coiling oracle, satyr wayfinder, baleful strix and elvish visionary etc.
I love the abzan/4c rally decks in standard and want to make one for edh. I don't really know where to start. tasigur, Sidisi or karador could be good generals for it. Idk lol. Anyone have some ideas or a direction to start or some deck lists similar? I'm not looking to be competitive just have some fun. Thanks.
