Agreed. Curse formatting keeps getting worse with each update.
Very difficult to read. No dark palate themes to find. Not user friendly for creating decklists anymore either.

VashBismark posted a message on Mycosynth LatticeSince I am quoted in the original post, I really don't need to expand too heavily on my opinion other than I use it in my artifact decks to make up for the inherent weakness of artifacts.Posted in: Commander Rules Discussion Forum
However, there is definitely merit in that Painter's Servant is banned for 2-card interactions and Lattice is not. PS has more 2-card interactions than Lattice, but I am a huge fan of more consistent rulings and this is definitely a glaring example of the lack of consistency. -

ottosmagic13 posted a message on What got you started in EDH?I like the fact that as a singleton format I can play most of the draft scruff that I've collected over the years. Being singleton means my single Doubling Season has a home. Where as if I was playing casual or modern I'd want the other three. (Nevermind the fact I have several decks that would like one but the one deck that does feels complete). I had a ton of singletons that didn't have homes and EDH breathed new life into them.Posted in: Commander (EDH)
Also, the commander products have the best entry value for any format (IMO). A new player coming with a completely stock precon will have fun and not feel outgunned at most casual to mildly competitive playgroups.
Finally, the haymakers. It's the best format for spells that cost 6+.
But really, you can Reverberate a Forked Reiterate targeting a Dualcaster Maged Warp World with Pyromancer's Goggles mana. Have fun. -

BaronCappuccino posted a message on What got you started in EDH?I was disgruntled at the foolishness of trying to brew an original deck list in 60-card constructed formats. I think Magic had three elements of success-- card selection/deck construction, card acquisition/collection and deck piloting. The internet in cooperation with lucrative competition effectively took deck construction away from the masses and put it into the hands of elite professionals. As of yet, this isn't the case for traditional commander.Posted in: Commander (EDH) -

Impossible posted a message on Mycosynth LatticePosted in: Commander Rules Discussion Forum
Which would be fine if not for the fact that Painter's Servant was banned almost exclusively for it's interaction with Iona, Shield of Emeria. Double standards much?Quote from Ertai Planeswalker »It's self restraint that keeps it fun for everyone, not bankists. -

FireStorm4056 posted a message on [PRIMER] Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind - FireStorm4056's Flashes of the FiremindThanks! I will probably playtest Mystic Confluence in Reforge the Soul's spot... I've found it to be quite underwhelming recently and this would be a direct CMC swap. Will post back with results!Posted in: Multiplayer Commander Decklists -

FireStorm4056 posted a message on [PRIMER] Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind - FireStorm4056's Flashes of the FiremindHi everyone, I've just finished a massive overhaul of the main post, including updated decklist and revised sections. It's a bit late, but headed in a great direction!Posted in: Multiplayer Commander Decklists
With this update, the list is faster and more potent than ever before. I'm experiencing even fewer "dud" starts, and the deck regularly goes lethal by ~T5-6 without appropriate answers from opponents (all this despite no 2- or 3-card infinite combos). Even when answered, the steam is never lost - it is able to eek out a win from seemingly any position.
Looking forward to hearing about your experiences and meta changes!
In other news, I'm on the path towards my 2nd Primer, this time for Meren of Clan Nel Toth. It is a hardcore, all-in stax/value build, designed for play against highly tuned decks in smaller playgroups (3-4) and meticulously tuned over the course of the last year or so. The thread is just getting off the ground, but if you are interested in learning more, check it out here: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/multiplayer-commander-decklists/773522-death-and-staxes-firestorm4056s-meren-stax-list -

WizardMN posted a message on Paliano, the High CityWell, you can house rule it if you want, but yes, it is worthless in EDH otherwise. Since you only choose the colors as you draft it, and you don't draft cards for EDH, no colors will be chosen for it. This means that unless you have something like Chromatic Lantern or Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, it won't be producing any mana.Posted in: Commander (EDH) - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Can't go wrong with the classic, "Oooh, shiny!".
McCheaty(cheating creatures[often big ones] into play at a fraction of their CMC) = Because paying full CMC for full pain is silly.

Marsh Viper for Putrefax. If you insist on keeping Putrid, abuse the H*** out of him with a Mimic Vat.
Melira, Sylvok Outcast is a good combo with Phyrexian Hydra. Since Phydra can't get -1/-1 counters from damage...;) Perhaps replace Viridian Corrupter with her. This, however, is obviously more of a 'funsie' combo.
If you decide Mimic Vat is for you, I would drop Song of the Dryads. Your infect will be a considerable enough threat against big beats already.
In reference to your beauty, I would suggest that the point being made is you should focus your damage towards one or the other damage. Spreading it amongst infect AND regular damage gives your opponents more time to get their game online and stop yours. Losing him, I would suggest gives you a good slot for either Lightning Greaves or Swiftfoot Boots.
Lands concern me in your decklist. My count on your list is 35, and while you are running mana dorks and rocks, I'm not sure I'd say it's enough, even with the decent mana curve. How often do you find yourself sputtering in the game(unable to get started)?
One more thing to consider would be Grafted Exoskeleton, particularly for the creatures that don't have infect. Not sure what you should drop for that, though.

Umbra Mystic - getting even more value out of your non-totem armor enchantments is fun, especially if you're spreading them around on creatures.
Aura Gnarlid - whether they're on him or not, he will get FRIGHTENING!
Kor Spiritdancer - little more specific for the beastiness, but something to keep in mind perhaps.
Hunting Grounds - free creatures? Free creatures.
Sigarda, Heron's Grace - Keep your enchantress' on the board.
Guardian of the Gateless - If you put most enchantments/auras on one card, this might be the girl to do it to.
EDIT: Forgot about two other options, one of which isn't so budget, but worth considering.
Bear Umbra - untapping your lands is fun for your second main phase. Or you could go with...
Sword of Feast and Famine - this is not budget, just to warn you. However, it's another option for untapping your lands for a great second main, though you have to HIT a player with this one.

Konda's Banner is something I've been told about often, and I keep trying to look for it...I may have to suck it up and finally order it online. I did NOT know about the throne however, so that may be something else to look at as well.
Hero's Blade is, as you said, more thematic than anything else. Not long ago, I saw someone post a Kari Zev deck, and someone suggested the blade for the deck...if only to have this come up...;)

1. Polukranos + Bow of Nylea. Attack with 'kranos, then make him monstrous as much as you want/can. Great boardsweeper, as long as your opponent isn't running indestructibles. Best part is, the bow won't be a waste at any other time either.
2. I would urge you to take another look at Skysovereign Being able to keep the faster planeswalkers in check, regardless of pillow forts, can be very useful and life-saving. Add in the cheap crew cost, and while it may STILL not fit in there, it's far from the disaster you seemed to hint at.
3. Selvala, Explorer Returned. She can be a VERY useful library thinner/mana dork/life gainer. A lot of people build decks around her, but she's VERY solid even as one of the 99.
Solid setup regardless!

Looks like you'd still get it back. One of the rulings on The Gatherer says:
"A permanent exiled by the first ability will return to the battlefield under your control at the beginning of the next end step even if you no longer control Venser at that time."

Bebop: "My man!"
My playgroup isn't THAT huge, so I only ever got this to go off once in the way you describe. My opponent had a Stifle/Trickbind effect in hand, but he was laughing as he let it go off about 40 times before conceding, saying it was the most awesome play he'd ever seen.
Now you've got me debating on whether I should swap out Diluvian in my Niv 1.0 deck or not...

Known in one of my groups as "Did ya pay 1 for that?"
I too seem to lack any specific cards that I tire of seeing. I guess it would be Karado, Ghost Chieftain, because I know I'll be wasting a ton of burn spells on that thing, and it'll be giving me the one-finger salute as it keeps coming back to the battlefield real cheap. Oloro, Ageless Ascetic is another guy, except you can't do spit about him if he stays in the command zone.
