I want to make a Dino EDH but I just don't think there's enough worthwhile dinos to make What's his names ability consistent enough. Even with changelings you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for impactful dinosaurs.

I agree. Now is not the time to build Gishath, the best thing to do is wait till Rivals of Ixalan comes out, since it will add some more much needed Dino's.

I just picked up a Spanish Angus MacKenzie. I need to build a more casual deck that's not just bant oops I win good stuff. What do?

 

 

Enchantress with planeswalker finishers? Don't have any combos in the deck (or if you do, only make it Doubling Season + Jace, Cunning Castaway).

 

Or are you looking for something more janky?

It only took 3 weeks, but I finally figured out the new cards I want for my many lists.

 

Karador: Growing Rites of Itlimoc

Animar: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Tishana, Voice of Thunder

Sedris: Fleet Swallower

Rith: Growing Rites of of Itlimoc

Freyalise: Growing Rites of Itlimoc

Hanna: Thaumatic Compass, Search for Azcanta, Overflowing Insight

Grenzo: Unclaimed Territory, Vanquisher’s Banner, Dowsing Dagger

Iroas: Captain Lannery Storm, Dowsing Dagger

Sliver Overlord: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Unclaimed Territory

Ezuri: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Tishana, Voice of Thunder

Gitrog: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Thaumatic Compass

Kozilek: Conqueror's Galleon, Dowsing Dagger

Kemba: Dowsing Dagger

Phenax: Fleet Swallower, Overflowing Insight

Atraxa: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Herald of Secret Streams, Vraska, Relic Seeker

Wort: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Primal Amulet

Talrand: River’s Rebuke, Primal Amulet, Search for Azcanta

Prossh: Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Unclaimed Territory

 

Sharuum: No Change

Sidisi: No Change

Sigarda: No Change

 

tl;dr I need a ton of Growing Rites of Itlimoc. I fear for the day when I own all the decks since full upgrades are going to be expensive. Though I don't think it will be that bad.

 

Regardless, ON TO EDGAR!!!

Surprised you don't have Herald of Secret Streams in there: he seems like a slam dunk for UG!Ezuri.

I did consider him, but the deck doesn't go wide with counters in the way Atraxa does. My thought process was that between Craterhoof, Champion of Lambholt, and random evasive creatures in the deck already if I want to swing in with giant evasive creatures I already have ways to do that. I can be wrong in this matter though.

Late response, but I'd still try him out. At minimum he's another experience counter with Ezuri, and you're not guaranteed to always be able to push creatures through.
 
Anyhow, wanted to give a write-up on my current stable of decks. I have two complete in paper, one that's an online list that may make the jump into paper, and two other commanders that I'd like to build.

  • Ephara, God of the Polis // list built in paper
    • Probably the list I've had together the longest in paper now, and one of my favorites. It's a very control-heavy build that focuses on flickering creatures with ETB triggers while playing hatebears and prison/fort effects, all the while holding a full grip of cards in hand. Once the game gets to 1v1, my opponent usually can't stand against the myriad of outs I run to their threats, and I can peck them to death with a bunch of weenies.
  • Edgar Markov // list built in paper
    • Pretty standard Markov list. Even though there's nothing fancy about it, I just really enjoy how Edgar plays: his eminence ability makes an aggro strategy actually viable.
  • Grimgrin, Corpse-Born // list built online
    • The result of a White Elephant experiment. My assignment was to build Grimgrin as "counters tribal," not the standard zombie zerg rush. I thought this was going to be tricky, as missing green means we don't get as many of the counter tricks - surprisingly, though, the deck still works. While +1/+1 counters are the name of the game here, there are some fun things to do with -1/-1 and energy counters too. The primary wincon is to pump Grimgrin up to absurd heights, then swing with an angry zombie behemoth for lethal.
  • Riku of Two Reflections // list is WIP
    • Intending to make this a spellslinger build, so keeping a low number of creatures and piling up on powerful instants and sorceries. The "key card" is Primal Amulet: when it flips, I hope to tap and untap Primal Wellspring as much as possible to copy a haymaker and make it lethal.
  • Samut, Voice of Dissent // list is WIP
    • Probably just an "activated abilities matter" list? Not sure yet - this mainly came about from the remnants of my now-disassembled Saskia list.

the other day i disassembled five decks and made a monster out of them:

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/lana-del-reyhan-ft-dj-kraum/

 

it was a ton of fun but i had to take it apart so that i could have more than two decks. has anyone found a particularly exciting partner pair aside from the usual thrasios/tymna?

 

 

Heres a quick first draft of kind of a cheesy combo deck. The idea is to use Deceiver of forms + Biovisionary to win. Food chain is just a backup.

 

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/04-11-17-momir-vig-biovisionary/

 

 

infinite reflection? i know it's not very tutorable but it wins with biovisionary out of nowhere usually.

You never want to draw or play biovisionary. Thats why I'm considering putting scroll rack in because this deck needs more ways to get biovisionary back into the library. Plus always shuffling with Momir makes scroll rack ridiculous.

So, opinions of the validity of it aside, does anyone plan on taking advantage of the "Un-set holiday special?" I'm half-thinking of seeing if my playgroup will let me throw a few silver-border cards into my black-border decks for funsies.

  • Ephara: Clocknapper, Very Cryptic Command
  • Hazezon: Earl of Squirrel, Ineffable Blessing, Oddly Uneven

It's that time of year again: the time where I pester you all to post what cards you're adding from the newest set. This time, it's Rivals of Ixalan, which seems to have more good stuff than Ixalan did. More overtly-powerful tribal themes, and many more interesting rares.

 

Hazezon:

  • Huatli, Radiant Champion (trivially easy to ultimate, and her -1 can deal some serious damage)
  • Path of Discovery (this before a Hazezon resolution is an absurd amount of card advantage)
  • Wayward Swordtooth (Exploration strapped to an undercosted body)

Ephara:

  • Azor, the Lawbringer (ETB trigger is good, and his attack trigger refills my hand)
  • Crafty Cutpurse (can be a blowout against token decks)
  • Release to the Wind (saves a key permanent from a wipe, or rebuys a good ETB trigger)

Edgar:

  • Arch of Orazca (later game card advantage!)
  • Bishop of Binding (unless otherwise stated, assume the reason is "generically good vampire")
  • Champion of Dusk
  • Dusk Legion Zealot
  • Elenda, the Dusk Rose (her + sac outlet = wrath insurance)
  • Forerunner of the Legion
  • Legion Lieutenant
  • Martyr of Dusk
  • Radiant Destiny (anthem effects are good, anthems that help enable ascend are even better)
  • Skymarcher Aspirant
  • Twilight Prophet

Riku:

  • Brass's Bounty (lots of mana, and unlike Boundless Realms it doesn't cap out)

 

Alesha:

  • Dire Fleet Daredevil (steal key removal spells)
  • Pirate's Pillage (looting and artifacts)
  • Pitiless Plunderer (artifacts on death trigger)

Not sure how much I can contribute, but I figured I'd pop in here. I've been playing since the Mirrodin Besieged prerelease, and my decks are:

 

Nicol Bolas (Mono-Instants, or rather Mono Instant-Speed)

Sasaya, Orochi Ascendant (Mono-Green Combo)

The Unspeakable (Morphs and Arcane)

Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder (An exercise in indulgence)

 

And lastly The Big Idea, which isn't legal anymore (well, certain card choices made it not legal at any point), but it's still ninety-nine cards and a general, so... I do what I want?

 

I haven't really thought about what Rivals could add. I didn't go to a prerelease because I was snowed in, so I guess I'll have to see what I get when drafts start firing.

The Big Idea might not be legal in stores, but you can still play it with your play group. I know I'm fine with the Unstable cards.

Long time no chat, y'all. Masters 25 is out, so I wanted to get some thoughts on what people are thinking of picking up, and how they feel about the set overall.

 

Thoughts in aggregate:

  • I give it a 6.5 out of 10? The good news is that there are a lot of strong common/uncommon reprints that were even only spoiled on the final day. Promise of Bunrei, StP, Arcane Denial, Brainstorm, Counterspell, Cursecatcher, Ravenous Chupacabra, Street Wraith, Unearth, Zulaport Cutthroat, Bolt, Ancient Stirrings, Arbor Elf, Cultivate, Fierce Empath, Nettle Sentinel, Presence of Gond, Rancor, Regrowth, Utopia Sprawl, Ash Barrens, and Myriad Landscape. That's a lot!
  • The bad news is that about half of the rares and mythics seem really baffling. The Akromas, Tree of Redemption, Bident of Thassa... why? The lack of mechanics outside of morph and cycling feels bad, too. Even if we could also get devotion (if only so I could see Gary and Nykthos back in limited). The emphasis on "limited combos" may hurt the format, too, as it seems like it gets really easy to be blown out if your opponent is lucky.

Now, cards I want!

  • Ephara: Disenchant (new art!), Luminarch Ascension, Arcane Denial (new art!), Flash, Vendilion Clique.
  • Edgar: Fetid Heath and Rugged Prairie, if only so I can have a full set of M15-border filters.
  • Hazezon: Azusa, Myriad Landscape.
  • To hold onto: Animar (may build Animorphs after this), Imperial Recruiter, Pernicious Deed, Armageddon, Living Death, Phyrexian Obliterator, and a playset of Promise of Bunrei for my jank spirit!storm casual deck.

I'm surprised you don't have more anthem effects. Not only does Elenda get helped by them, but they work REALLY well with the tokens she makes. One that end Cathars' Crusade is likely the best you'll fine. Bloodline Keeper also works nicely with both the token theme as well as serving as a way to pump them. The Blackblade Reforged also does some work. Past that, Planeswalkers are always helpful. Sorin Lord of Innistrad and Solemn Visitor both fit. Elspeth Sun's Champion is also a personal favorite. I'd also recommend Greed as another source of card draw.

 

In other news, new set soon.

Anyway, I did my first round of pulling. Basically, I note any card I might be interested in for a deck and make note of it. This way when I do my full on Commander consideration I have a much shorter list of stuff to look through. For this round I have a lot of stuff, but it is mostly niche stuff.

 

Danitha, Capashen Paragon

Shalai, Voice of Plenty

Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle

Karn's Temporal Sundering

Time of Ice

Wizard's Retort

Fina Parting

Josu Vess, Ich Knight

Phyrexian Scripture

Whisper, Blood Liturgist

Fight with Fire

Jaya Ballard

Jaya's Immolating Inferno

Verix Bladewing

Fungal Plots

Grow from the Ashes

Kamahl's Druidic Vow

Marwyn, the Nurturer

Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar

Saproling Migration

Song of Freyalise

Spore Swarm

Darigaaz Reincarnated

Grand Warlord Radha

Oath of Teferi

Primeval's Glorious Rebirth

Teferi, Hero of Dominaria

Blackblade Reforged

Gilded Lotus (I should be playing this in more decks then I am)

Helm of the Host

Mod Amber

Cabal Stronghold

Memorial to Folly

Memorial to Genius

Memorial to Glory

Memorial to Unity

Zhalfirin Void

 

37 over all which is a nice batch. Part of that is purely on the strength of the Memorial cycle though. Based on the first pass Wort has a lot of options. I'm a little angry at myself for not putting two and two together and realizing Jaya is perfect for that deck. I think my biggest issue with this batch if most of the cards are for decks I don't yet own. Suppose that isn't the worse thing though since it means less cards I'll need to buy.

I posted this in the Dominaria thread. In thinking about it more Kamahl's Druidic Vow seems really bad. Like, Genesis Wave is a million times better at the post of 1 more mana. Think that is going to be axed.

Slipped Crusade in there, forgot it existed haha. Anthems I have now are:

  • Cathars' Crusade
  • Drana, Liberator of Malakir
  • Indulgent Aristocrat
  • Legion Lieutenant
  • Marshal's Anthem
  • Radiant Destiny
  • Ravos, Soultender

And effects that pump Elenda alone:

  • Bishop of Binding
  • Blade of the Bloodchief
  • Fallen Ideal
  • Hero's Blade
  • Nim Deathmantle

That seem like enough?

And yeah, Kamahl's Vow is bad.

BTW, my pickups from the set are below. Bolded are definite (mostly for Hazezon, lots of green goodies), and the others are fun cards I'd like to try.

  • Adeliz, the Cinder Wind
  • Baird, Steward of Argive (Raff)
  • Broken Bond (Hazezon)
  • Cabal Stronghold
  • Cast Down
  • Fall of the Thran
  • Firesong and Sunspeaker
  • Gilded Lotus (Raff, Elenda)
  • Grand Warlord Radha
  • Grow from the Ashes (Hazezon)
  • Helm of the Host
  • In Bolas's Clutches (Raff)
  • Karn's Temporal Sundering (Raff)
  • Memorial to Unity (Hazezon)
  • Muldrotha, the Gravetide
  • Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar (Hazezon)
  • Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage (eventually replacing Ephara)
  • Seal Away
  • Sylvan Awakening (Hazezon)
  • Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle
  • Urza's Ruinous Blast (Raff)
  • Urza's Tome (Elenda)
  • Valduk, Keeper of the Flame
  • Whisper, Blood Liturgist (Elenda)

So, I've started the next phase in figuring out stuff. From my initial list I decided

Shalai, Voice of Plenty was too slow

Kamahl's Druidic Vow being a worse Genesis Wave indeed made it bad enough to not play

Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar is just a random giant creature and I hate those (the word made me think maybe Gitrog would want it)

Mox Amber is worse than a 2 mana mana rock since it isn't early ramp

Memorial to Glory is to low impact to be worth giving up a land.

 

Also realized I had the perfect deck for Urza's Ruinous Blast.

Some cards I think you should consider:

  • Baird, Steward of Argive in Atraxa is good as he's the only permanent other than Sphere of Safety that can protect 'walkers.
  • Cast Down just seems generically good. Has the least targeting restrictions of similar spells.
  • Dauntless Bodyguard in Sigarda (old one, I assume)? A cheap way to protect her against boardwipes.
  • Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage seems like he'd be really good in Hanna and Atraxa (assuming the latter is superfriends). He gives all of your artifacts and planeswalkers flash and has flash himself, meaning he's easier to catch opponents off-guard with than Orrery or Leyline. Plus, he's legendary himself, meaning all of the legendary sorceries you're playing in Atraxa will trigger off of him.
  • Tatyova, Benthic Druid is absurdly powerful card draw, in my experience. She stops you from flooding out, which is always a thing to consider.

Also, includes are finalized for Elenda. Well, for the most part: unsure about The Eldest Reborn, but pretty confident about the others.

  • Gilded Lotus
  • Isolated Chapel
  • Phyrexian Scriptures
  • Teshar, Ancestor’s Apostle
  • The Eldest Reborn
  • Urza’s Tome
  • Whisper, Blood Liturgist

I'm not a fan of the single mana tax cards (Archangel of Tithes is also a card, but not really playable in a 4 color deck). If I wanted to protect walkers I'd rather just stop attacking all together. It is an interesting card for Hanna which is a pillowfort build, but I'd rather the protection come in the form of enchantments.

 

I'm not high on Cast Down because of my play group. Most commander games I play involves Karlov and removal that can't hit Karlov isn't worth it. I'd rather Go For the Throat or Dismember.

 

Body Guard is cute in Sigarda, but I'm not a fan of the 1 time nature. The one shot protection I'm currently running is just Teferi's Protection.

 

Raff is an interesting card, but I'd want to be doing more at instant speed, and Atraxa doesn't have a lot. If I wanted to operate at instant speed I'd pick up Layline. It would be more interesting in Hanna, but she focuses more on the enchantment recursion than artifact.

 

IMO Tatyova is best in decks built around abusing landfall and none of my GU decks can really do that.
