That's it so far. Still needs some work for sure would love some suggestions.
My budget is pretty tight right now but I have a decent amount of trades so I should be able to pick up pieces if I can find them around.
I've been playing MTG since July 2017. I have no idea realy what errata is other than I'm guessing based of this thread it means cards that have been reprinted with updated rules text. Aside from that, planes walker commanders terrible idea, making single card exceptions out side of house rules terrible idea i don't even like the partner rule either. Keep it simple, if it's not a legendary CREATURE then no.
Otherwise, there is enough grave hate out there to combat reanimation just fine. You could always run a bleeder package too - whenever he kills a creature of yours or his, Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat and Falkenrath Noble will sting him. It's not huge, but it's not nothing.
I also have to admit to some confusion as to how this guy is fitting a reanimation and sac package into an Omnath, Locus of Mana deck - it is entirely outside of the scope of EDH to run black cards in a mono green commander deck. Otherwise you're just playing 100 card singleton, and you have the possibility of doing the same thing.
I also have to agree that it sounds like this guy is running a deck that out powers the rest of the table - it could be very beneficial to have a talk to him about playing a deck that scales to the power level of the rest of the table. Not that he's playing anything there is no possible answer for - you do have options, and it is possible for you to beat him - but it does sound like he's dropped a lot more coin on his deck than the rest of your playgroup have.
Thanks for the comments. I run oblivion stone, and a couple exile grave cards. I think I'm going to have to fun alot more artifacts that exile graves.
He also has a green card that gains counters that he can neg, to make his creatures or permanent industractable. I have loads of board wipes in my deck but the don't work or have little effect.
Also I've only been playing since July this year. This guy has been playing since 02.
He knows his decks are super powefull. He always says " I give you credit, you know your out gunned but you still play with me and try to find ways to win" or something to that efffect.
Mega-ramp is tough - Sounds like the other issue is Omnath mega-ramping into Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger which allows him to vomit his whole hand out while grinding you guys to a standstill.
For that, you need removal that is extremely mana efficient. In Rakdos, that would be Tragic Slip, Snuff Out, Dismember (early on, at least), and possibly Devour in Shadow. Combine all that with graveyard hate to prevent nasties like Vorniclex from coming back again (again, free is good - Tormod's Crypt) and you can shut down his nonsense and play a normal game.
You could also talk to him out of game, as it sounds like his deck is just way beyond what everyone else at the table is playing with. But if he's jamming black cards in a monogreen deck, that's not allowed and is against the entire point of the format.
Yes you are exactly right, he runs a golgari and a mono green ramp. Both are equally ***** to play against.
Grave pact/dictate/butcher/and fallen angel.
Are in the golgari.
And then he plays onmnath early brings out voniclex and the game is over from there for the most part. Then he mindslavers the table. It's annoying as hell.
He usually scoops after and let's the table finish after he plays his whole deck.
Both the B/G and mono green lock the board and then he gets all his creatures out be it by ramping or recursion with ramping.
I run a rakdos, dragonlord kolaghan.
I have some destruction and exile cards but not much. Defiantly going to add in quite a few more exile graves. Only thing I have right now is the dessert from HOU that exiles all upon sacking.
Thanks for the input I'll side board the ***** out of grave hate
So this guy has started showing up who has an insane golgari resurrection deck. Yes it's an expensive deck mythics up the wazzoo.
Regardless I've been trying to figure out a way to win and so far I'm whipped.
He basically sacrifices his creatures forcing everyone else to do so as well. Also uses an ability that allows his mana to untapped each upkeep and ours to take two turn. This sucks.
My ideas have been at possible land destruction and burn. he can pretty muh return any creatures destroyed so even trying to boarding is pointless other than to save damage for a single turn.
Just curious what ideas ppl have against this type of deck. His commander allows him to float mana that doesn't dissapate. So I've seen him over 1000 floating.
9 out of 10 times your board state is zero creatures.
I have a couple 60 card aggro decks. I mainly play edh because ppl just don't play 60 around here.
Anyway I run a R/B Rats and Burn. It's also a bit controling. using 4 ravenous rats and 4 Gnat misers, and 4 hellhole rats (hell hole rats makes them discard and deals damage equal to the converted mana of the card). making your opponents discard. 4 crypt rats which you can pay x black mana and it deals X damage to all creatures and players.
I run 4 lightning bolts, mizzium mortals. 4 call to the netherworld. This allows resurrection for 1 mana or no mana if it was discarded. A few various destruction spells. A 2 drop destroy target creature or planeswalker.
Two marrow gnawers giving all your rats fear ( can only be blocked by other creatures that share a color or are artifacts ) it also has an amazing token generation ability
Over all a really cheap deck just fun to use every now and again
Hi I am pre noon to mtg. I just started playing hour of dev. I'm 28 have been surrounded by mtg players for 15 years just never wanted to learn. But have been collecting since 98 simply for art work.
That aside I recently learned to play and I feel I have a quick grasp on things ( not on terminology!!!) I've built 3 EDH decks and about five 60 card decks. Almost all are standard eligible.
I recently picked up a bunch of ixalan cards and have been building a green/white dino deck. Turns put I have about 5 cards red I wish to add to this. Now my first though is, is it worth it to add those five cards in, second is the mana ratio for a tri colored deck. I've never made one let alone a competitive one.
But to keep this short as well as introducing myself, what would be a good place to start when it come to creating 3 color decks? Also if this is posted in the wrong forum area let me know. Thank you.
