a sacrifice I'm willing to accept
that is a nice art
also sun quan
CUTE WINDGRACE 
poggers
actual RG dinosaur support being printed
(it was always available)
Like
The reprints in this set are looking to be
Literally everything a commander player could ever ask for outside of reserved list
And therefore the price as to be sky high
Dammit
It's like 25% great reprints, 25% good ones, 25% okay, 25% TERRIBLE
It's like they scientifically engineered this set to come out as average as possible
It's more 20% great reprints, 20% good, 20% okay, 20% terrible, 20% WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY UPSHIFTED SMOTHERING TITHE AND SPELLSEAKER
Don't forget about the [[Curtain Call]] cycle
So 20% maddening
They're all in rare for some reason
Or 20% infuriating
They've always been at rare
Yeah in their single printing prior
They should have been uncommons here
But "the draft environment", which is a shitty excuse when sol ring is in the draft at uncommon
We're 100% not getting fetches
Check Lands take it or leave it
They would have revealed a fetch by now
They've been printed twice
Idk, it took them forever to reveal the good mythics
Could jus the saving the best for last
I'm pretty sure it's gonna be tango lands or battlebond lands
Triomes or ally fetches are on my wish list
Everything else besides collector ouphe and unwinding clock has been checked off my wish list
Yeah, I want it cheaper
Triomes are definitely not happening
Draft has a "2 color focus"
So they wouldn't do triomes
[[klauth]]
Multiple cards match “klauth”, can you be more specific?
oh, that one wont happen, too new
We have a card from new capenna in here
a legends?
It's also DnD
that steelshaper art sheesh
I got hit with the biggest double standard in commander yesterday 
I wasn’t allowed to play a bad “storm” deck that relies on the table having stuff but my friend was allowed to play an actual storm deck with 10-30 min turns and was bashed for stopping an engine piece by the rest of the table 
sounds like you got the typical local commander experience
Yep, and they were applauding him for doing a “cool thing” every turn when it was literally replay the same thing over and over again 
For 5-10 minutes each with his final turn being 30 minutes of him sitting and thinking if he has lethal
Sounds like he also just didn't know his deck

I play "storm" a lot, and unless you're forcing me to play out the combo, it's usually very quick turns. And final turn usually consists of "hey I've got combo, I assume that's good?"
When your storm count is high enough to kill the whole table, you don't need to be doing math
He did, he was drawing and discarding a lot so he didn’t know if he had the win or not, or at least that was his excuse
But yeah I wasn’t able to play my normal deck because I just happened to kill everyone with a 6 card and 33 life combo 
What? You should still know if you can reach it
Either you're drawing the whole deck and have combo or you can't win that turn
I dunno, I'm just so used to pointing to the pieces on the board and going "that's lethal" because no one actually wants to sit there and watch me draw my whole deck and get a storm count of 50000
Apparently he was trying to figure out how many cards he could draw on that turn and if he can draw into the win but it was kind of obvious so I just went outside to use the restroom and call
But yeah I already knew it was over but everyone else thought he wasn’t going to win
I did actually have a guy make me play out the win in Elsha recently
That was annoying as hell
I pointed to top, helm, and Elsha and went "I think you're dead" and he went "play it out, I don't see it"
Explained how it kills and he went "but I wanna make sure you can do it"
It wasn't like dude was holding interaction or anything, he was just being an ass
I should build four horsemen and spin my wheels indefinitely because apparently people in this group likes that kind of thing
I should have manually done every draw
I did simply my drawing by flipping my deck upside down and searching for grapeshot in it
But he was being an ass and I should have made him watch me draw cards 5000 times
should have been like "cool, orcish bowmasters on the stack?"
I was playing mono green because that was the only other deck available 
Not combo mono green either, elf tokens
Also bowmasters would’ve gotten them mad at me for “playing cedh”
"Playing Cedh" has become such a weird phrase
I like these guys as friends but wow when it comes to magic they’re insufferable
People use it as a buzzword for any card they don't like
Counterspell? "dude this isn't cedh". Doom blade? "come on man, I said fun decks"
I really wanna build no wincon group hug kings, but I'll still get fussed at for kingmaking
Yeah I got bashed like that when I removed one of his combo pieces
I played nbc najeela to show them the true meaning of combo and they didn’t like it because “it runs stax” 🤦♂️
if somebody ever uses the phrase "playing cedh" in response to you playing a strong card, it's a clear sign they never actually played cedh
They were ok with 1 card win cons and tutors for days but any removal = stax to them it’s absurd
Oh yeah I haven't gotten to pull out Ghen in so long since I'm still searching for a new shop
I have never once seen a "Strong card = cedh" person
spoiler: because it's you

The closest I saw that gets to that is "Wow that's a strong card/combo that guy's probably the threat"
They’re less likely to be people who go to locals but still play and watch edh
I asked once and a guy went "you said stax?" Then flipped through the deck box without asking and then said "nah fuck that"
I need to find a shop around here that does cedh because I do wanna play stronger decks again lmao
Spoiler: I already knew that and now you're trapped here
I think it's perfectly fine to get miffed by deck archetypes
“That guy’s probably the threat” is the logical way to politic but these guys really love to say “if you attack me with this 1/1, I’m going to target you all game”
also i never realized till somebody pointed it out
Spoiler: What the fuck
I don't see how stax is worse than combo or the guys who do nothing for 16 turns but complain "I'm behind man" and then pop off
but if you ever want to actually really learn some niche rules about mtg
cedh is the best way
to come across said rulings often
Cedh is the best way to play edh*
I get miffed by those guys too
well yeah, not even getting into that rn
but in terms of actually learning the game
cedh rules at that
That’s my argument every time but I get hit with a double standard consistently
even if I still get confused by like layers and shit like that
Yeah same here. They're going "well at least my board state is progressing"
Quit while your ahead
He gets to do that but when I’m actually behind with 2 lands on turn 8, I’m still the target because “I’m playing storm”
Mine is too, by not letting yours do that
There are deck types that can very much still be viable threats despite a low land count
I wouldn't call storm one of them but
I can’t get more based than “cedh is the best way to play edh”
Honestly tho, cedh kinda is??
Edh with randoms is slowly becoming worse and worse imo
The only argument the head of this group has against Cedh is the deck diversity
No one wants to play interaction and then throws a fit when they lose
cedh with randos is probably better than edh with randos
But I feel like there are several strawmen being made here
But then again the problem with cedh right now is too many decks are good
I mean, y'all remember the guy who would come to my old, mostly cedh playing shop, and would complain when he lost every game and then made his own banlist?
I know it sounds like I’m strawmanning this group but I’ve legit had these conversations with them since we’re friends outside of the game and they actually say that
The cedh > edh thing tends to assume that edh players are like whiny crybabies, unlike the zen saints that are cedh players
Oh I've definitely known som shitty cedh players
Played with a new dude once who would get mad anyone didn't do the play he perceived as "optimal'
I’ve met tons of shitty ones but the fact of the matter is, if casual edh players really want a balanced gameplay experience they always say they do, cedh exists
I feel like the issue is really most casual players wanna play "open mic night" magic
Who wants to play edh for a balanced game
The whole point of threat assessment is that edh is unbalanced
They wanna play their deck and they wanna see the combo or cute interaction or whatever
They don't want opponents to have interaction at all
Idk, everyone I’ve talked to who plays edh says they want games to be balanced and yet they also want to pubstomp so 🤷♂️
They’re friends or friends of friends
Also cedh is way more pro proxy
And that's good because a good edh deck is way too expensive
So when we mean kitchen table, we mean no/little lgs and mostly they only watch YouTube for edh content rather than playing against others
Isn't that more on the players and not the format
I've had dudes drop Kaladesh inventions and Gaea's cradles and complain that I had the audacity to run a proxied bazaar of Baghdad
Like
It’s probably just the players but I’ve also met too many people with the same experience at this point it’s just the format 
Pretty much the only discernable thing I would say is a strict positive for cedh is that the players all have a very close understanding
Of 'This is a competitive game'
And then we get the cons any competitive format would bring
- even if I owned a bazaar, shit would NEVER leave the house
- there's no reason for me to PROVE to you that I own a card
- it's no different that moving my demonic tutor between decks when I need to, something I see a lot of people do as is
- it's a card game man, I just wanna play with the good cards
I would say though, edh would be better without the “casual” edh YouTube channels
Yeah channels like game knights did a number to edh
I've literally had people come to shops and talk to the table like they're on game knights. It's weird as hell
Honestly, I'm starting to see more and more people go from pro-proxy to anti-single
From "I would recommend proxies if you don't want to spend money on real cards"
To "You are stupid for spending money on real cards instead of proxying"
I was trying to keep my options open with my wording but really it’s a problem with game knights 
I mean, if you wanna buy the real cards, go ahead. I'm just not paying $100 for a piece of cardboard when I can get 2 decks for $50
Is this why they've been starting to upload more snoozefest pubstomps
To give a more realistic experience
I mean even the professor's edh show isn't super realistic either
so I think here's the issue with edh vs cedh players. Most people that got into mtg got through it within an edh scope without actually having a moderate understanding of mtg as a game
and you see this ALL the time in edh
Like at least he does a lot of "edh, but here's a gimmick" for the episode (like commanders with 100 or less edhrec decks)
people have 0 idea how to hold priority, how their cards work etc
But it's clear they play a couple games and pick the best one
CEDH draws in MTG players
like there's nothing inherently wrong with playing casual edh (i play both)
The gimmick episodes are good because at least they’re entertaining
but casual players just lack an understanding that they sometimes take as an attack when you point it out to them
But thugs if you play casual edh it must mean you hate interaction and every deck archetype you don't play
Yeah I like the gimmick ones because I'm not expecting everyone to come in and play regular edh
I wanna see what the best secret commander with 6 or more MV is
Game knights style channels and episodes tend to trend more towards people getting mad at each other and then one guy applauding themselves for “doing something cool”
When I say casual though, i should point out it means "commanders that are unviable in cedh but i make as strong as possible and play them in a casual environment"
but i also recognize when not to play certain commanders
I mean what was that one game knights episode where they had the football guy on where he rage quit t2 because he got targeted?
The one with the planeswalker commanders?
I don't remember the exact context, but he got hit for a little bit of damage because his commander was the scariest at the table and then scooped on the spot
Well he didn't scoop
He just acted salty the rest of the game
he clearly stopped trying though
I still remember that game being super shitty
The football guy is infamous for him the saltiest person in multiple channels
Yeah, everything I've seen of Cassius makes me never wanna play a game with him
He comes off as an asshole
If he doesn’t get everything his way then he tries to make the game unplayable
It's funny, because Post seems like the opposite
Maybe that's why everyone let him Narset Windfall
Post Malone builds really bad, really expensive decks and does nothing all game but just has a good time
in the phyrexia will be one episode, josh didn't destroy rachel's portal to phyrexia because the theme of the episode was that they were in phyrexia (stupid as fuck btw)
Post seems ok tbh
He's not the best player, but he at least seems like a fun dude
Josh has toned down his decks way too much in current game knights also
Sort of related, Brian Kibler’s reason why he doesn’t play cedh
I should’ve played against cassius when he was at GPLA to just troll him
also cassius is into cedh now
Spread the fucking word
Cedh is vintage-lite
Where is my fullart zacama
He’s always been into cedh, he just never admitted to it because he wanted to play those decks at casual tables
I definitely see Cassius as being the pubstomper
(Yes there are a couple videos where he did this)
Also btw chat
It's been hard to gauge but
We don't
Condone
Bringing cedh decks to edh pods right
Honestly Brian also comes off as an ass to me every time I see him in a game too
I mean he also has really weird takes defending stupid shit
"M30 boxes should actually cost MORE" was a fun one
Early narset windfall or drama scepter tasigur in a durdle table are just examples of what he does
Well those two are completely separate things
For sure. But he comes off as a dick every time he's on an edh channel too
Like being an NFT shill doesn't make you a bad magic player
And clearly Brian is infact a very good magic player
Kibler’s a great competitor but that doesn’t make him the best anything else
Who probably knows what he's talking about in terms of Magic gameplay
There was one where he was playing with the prof and his wife, and someone else. And the prof did something super minor to his wife and he spent the rest of the game salt targeting him
It was really weird, he kept making comments like "don't disrespect my woman" and stuff
He seemed annoyed
Like it didn't seem like a bit because he did it literally all game
But it could have been? I don't know
Also, there’s not much RELEVANT politicing in cedh outside of pointing out someone has x amount of mana open or “next turn x player will have 5 mana available to do y”
Could’ve been a bit but if it was genuinely uncomfortable then the professor should’ve taken him to the side and talked to him
I've never been a fan of the pubstomp GK episodes
But I guess it does do a job of
Representing what EDH games will realistically look like
Yeah I dunno. I feel like they should have used another game where he didn't do it all game
Professor is known to be an ass when it comes to cedh though
As in no one doing anything for 6 turns and then someone popping off
Because it just came off too much of him being a weird wife guy and holding a stupid grudge for no reason
Him and Blackneto aren’t cool for that reason
I mean this wasn't a cedh game
Because Blackneto used to bring strong edh decks to play
It was just a regular game with Brian, his wife, someone else, and the prof
And Brian was just being shitty his wife got targeted all of once
Was it on camera
Yeah
If it was on camera then he was very likely doing a bit
Mf has been a twitch streamer for a decade
I don't remember the exact game and I don't know if other people had issues with it or not, but it just came off really weird to me
I dunno, doing a bit for like 1-2 turns is fine
Priority bullying is very relevant politics in cedh
It when it's your entire thing for the rest of the game after, it comes off as being a salty ass
Like yeah the bit could have been overblown
Tbh I don’t see kibler to be the type of person to genuinely pull out the “don’t disrespect my woman” thing
It probably was him doing a bit, yeah
I’ve already said it, but the play to win crew are guys I love to watch. Besides that, Kyle Hill is usually fun, spike feeders are fine, Brian and Olivia are fine in commander at home also
But I guess it just annoyed me that he didn't know when to drop the bit
Game knights might be bottom of the barrel edh content atm tbh
Not because he doesn’t like his wife but because he’s not really the type to act like a tough guy at least from what I’ve seen
There was a cedh tournament where a player tried to priority bully in finals but lost. It got a lot of talk going iirc on the concept
Does Play to Win properly represent what a cedh game will look like
Sometimes yep
Yeah play to win is genuinely pretty decent at it
Other times they bring a weaker deck to the pod for testing
Play to win is cedh when everybody at the table actually knows what their cards do
But they’re also very good at showing how diverse cedh is
Also they have their pet decks of course
Also yeah, usually they test the 4 most relevant legendaries from each set in cedh
I mean most people who play cedh have dumb pet decks
And see if it’s viable
Like I've got a very optimized Roghark Yoshimaru list
It's definitely not a standard cedh commander
But the deck is FUN
No I mean kinnan is one guy’s pet deck and he’ll play it regardless of theme or set at times
Ah fair
I'll definitely play some cedh games, maybe even make a list IRL but I don't see it becoming my main format
Tbf those are very fun decks
cEDH tournaments especially just really don't sound appealing to me
It's like playing competitive mafia to me
A lot of cedh tournaments are weird to me
Half the big ones don't allow proxies
Which is like, I get it, but also it becomes pay to win at that point
Like if I wanted to play at a competitive magic tournament
Fuck dude I'm playing Magic
Just go play Pioneer or something
I feel as if I would have done Cassius’ cedh tournament, but not any other. The prizing has to be appealing enough
Just by its concept
Cedh tournaments are alright, I don’t like it but the format’s fun so
Why would I want to go to a tournament where everyone has to have the basis of 'OK no one fuck up'
That actually exists btw
Like is there any penalisation to someone who 'Doesn't obey the cedh code'
Also the fact that teferi won cassius’ cedh tournament is still crazy to me
Of course not
So you can just get fucked by someone making a salty spite play
Which can definitely still happen in cedh
Yeah 3rd and 4th player having the ability to play kingmaker kind of hampers it but generally people don’t do that
Sick new art
But OOF
@lusty trench I think this is the most egregious upshift now
Nah tithe still takes the cake for me
Never do I ever want to play in a tournament where I get knocked out because my OPPONENTS had a weak mental
A tournament with 3 opponents just increases those odds
I think tithe is bad because it got a rare print this year
Oh I was wrong, it's like $25
Still a bad upshift when it got printed last year at rare
Also to me there are some cedh players who give off big "No Items, Fox Only, Final Destination" vibes
I know Rebell does it ironically but
Tbh those players are also the ones who say “the only real cedh decks are najeela, blue farm, and rogsi” and they’ll get eaten up by random decks
Ayy Zacama got a downshift at least
Maybe magic players just suck
I love rebell but you gots to go 
Someone help me settle an argument with a friend: if my opponent plays [[+2 Mace]] can I call a judge, ask for gatherer text, and give them a DQ because technically no magic card exists by that name?
(Gatherer has an issue with the name of the card and thus it's not in the system. Technically meaning there's not a magic card by that name)
It'd definitely be sharking in bad faith, but gatherer is the database used for all official cards
The response you would probably be given is "Yeah Gatherer's weird. Continue."
where's zacama's side profile
would be funny if they just did his eye because he's too big
It's just one dinosaur head
Zacama is a girl

"Zacama was not intelligent per se, but she was somehow aware that she had a name, and was able to inform Huatli of what it was through their magical connection."
Also can't you tell just by looking at her
I mean when I see Zacama I think 'woman'
Oh wow I hate how they made the "strixhaven star" text the same as the rules text
I legit had to double take it
Goad all creature you don’t control, Strixhaven Star
I was like did I miss a mechanic
Goad all creatures you don't control.
Strixhaven Star
Yes you did
Strixhaven Star fucking tore through pauper like paper machet
Technicially it is grammatically correct to do that
It is but it's also bad for reading at a glance
True
...And Dockside has been crunched out
So the entire cycle now give us a good land cycle
tbh I don't like CEDH
for the sole reason that it simply isn't the way I wanna play MTG as a whole
MTG's comp scenes have never been compelling enough to me to get me to try them, at most I tried brewing some jank ass Magda build on arena a few years back but that's virtually it
aight
It's second printing in a commander product this year
(hosts of Mordor was the other)
Who wants it?
Literally no one
I hope it's not the full cycle minus prime titan
But it honestly might be because the colorless precon has the colorless titan
Nah, Gavin said a proper colorless member to a few cycles in the eldrazi precon
The Titans are
"keyword (or fire breathing/ward)
~ ETB and attacks trigger"
yeah
i really doubt it's gonna be annihilator
iirc maro has said that annihilator is probably never going to come back because it feels horrible to play against and is also extremely powerful
even annihilator 1 can win you the game if your opponent can't deal with it right away
colorless can do anything as long as the cost is high enough
Let's see
White: Vigilance
Black: Deathtouch
Blue: Ward 2 (Why is it not keyworded as such?)
Red: Firebreathing
Green: Trample
So maybe First Strike?
damn, good reprint
My brother who just got into Magic is bummed out by Commander Masters for like
The most out there reason I could imagine
Not because it's overpriced or the card he wants didn't get reprinted
But because the set is all reprints and no new cards
Ah yes, Master sets are well known for introducing new cards
commander precons will have new stuff at least
I think he's too Hearthstone-pilled to see the value in reprint sets
So I've started playing Standard to try and raise my rank.
Idk if I'm just being salty, but it feels like there's an obnoxious amount of removal most games
Then again I keep getting paired against Black decks
nah it's not just you, this standard has a lot of removal in it
best deck is currently control even
they cant keep getting away with it
35 cent secret lairs
a masters set filled with upshifts of cards worth pennies
1000 dollar proxy packs
the bubble will pop eventually at this rate
EDH was fun today @fallow citrus had a couple of duels commander games and a wacky 6man pod w my friend
I got to cast karn, scion of urza's "ult* a lot, esper sentinel got up to 15/15 because of nettlecyst, lots of chunky menace construct action
for the 6 man I stopped a lot of game ending spells w my counters and killed two ppl but just fell a little short at the end, all good though
Bought a [[narset, parter of veils]] to go alongside T3F
[[karn, scion of urza]] 
Legendary Planeswalker — Karn
+1: Reveal the top two cards of your library. An opponent chooses one of them. Put that card into your hand and exile the other with a silver counter on it.
−1: Put a card you own with a silver counter on it from exile into your hand.
−2: Create a 0/0 colorless Construct artifact creature token with "This creature gets +1/+1 for each artifact you control."
Loyalty: 5
Duels went g1 he's mana flooded, I'm mana screwed, Soulless Jailer clutches a win bc he couldnt Birgi combo. G2 got birgi combod, g3 got urza out pretty fast and had two counterspells backing up menace constructs
Honestly based
same
LMAO
#EDH #Commander #CL2
Let's build three different decks with ONE commander - it's a modular build focusing on Goad led by Baeloth Barrityl!
0:00 - Intro
0:10 - Commander
1:30 - Backgrounds
3:10 - "Core" mono-red package
5:42 - "Package 1" green - Raised by Giants
6:49 - "Package 2" white - Noble Heritage
8:16 - "Package 3" black - Criminal Past

Matt Damon lookin headass
goated
Thanks for watching Good Morning Magic! If you enjoyed the episode, it'd mean a lot to me if you subscribed: it only takes one click, and helps grow the channel.
What is some of what you can expect in the Commander Masters decks? Let me give you some hints!
Have a question? Post a comment! You can also catch me, Gavin Ver...
Hints about the new commander precon cards
- There is a card that is not a planeswalker but enters with loyalty counters
- There is a new card with the adamant ability from Throne of Eldraine
- There is a card that can become a legendary 6/6 Nightmare God creature with menace and deathtouch.
- The colorless deck isn't just Eldrazi - for example, there's a new colorless Ikoria monster, and a new Strixhaven Archaic too!
- There's a card I loved that was originally designed for Commander 2018 and cut that finally shows up here
- There's a new titan, modeled after the M11 Titans
- There's a card that turns planeswalkers into birds
- There's a new impetus in the vein of the ones we original saw in Ikoria Commander
- There's a legendary card for an obscure flavor text character we saw in Time Spiral Block
- There is a card named "Guff Rewrites History"
- There's a legendary creature that makes you choose a planeswalker type.
- There is a mono blue planeswalker that has never gotten a card before - and no, its not one of the nine titans.
oh good they're finally giving cacophany a card
none of these feel like they would fit for the slither commander deck
man glad to see adamant again, I really wish that mechanic was standard playable
I think Adamant is a really good idea if you push it way harder
Constructed needs reasons to make mono-color decks that aren't just burn
the problem with adamant is that you need to cost it as thought the adamant mode is always on for constructed
Yeah, so push them
but in constructed you could just put three pips in the cost anyways so you don't need adamant to force monocolor
the non-adamant mode might as well not be there
and at that point why bother with the mechanic
That's not necessarily true with how much fixing there is
Stuff like [[Invoke Despair]] was played in standard without being mono-black
Treasures and good lands make it too easy
see that's the problem though
in formats with good mana fixing adamant isn't an even remotely difficult hoop to jump through, so it might as well always be active
the restriction doesn't matter
Do we have the full set for commander masters revealed or is there a few more to go?
I guess retool adamant as a more punisher mechanic
Something like "then if you control no non-X lands"
imo mana fixing is normally a better conversation than it was with stuff like fable
also there definitely is a way to do a base mode with a decent payoff then an adamant payoff with a better outcome
Admant has always felt like a mechanic that rewarded you, not was a downside
Idt it needs to be pushed too hard to be relavent
it's such an irrelevant keyword though
it literally just slightly rewards you for paying the correct mana
yea adamant is weird
I feel like if they never brought it back nobody would care
it's not a downside, it's just that the restriction is literally never relevant
it's like I don't think anyone would be desperate for coven to come back
Yeah Coven was kinda a nothing mechanic
So according to number crunch, there's a single rate cycle for lands we can get
@sleek ferry it's Battlebond lands
I fucking called it
Also Edgar is crunched out???
Literally the perect set to put him in
Where are yall getting your spoilers from my website I go to stopped updating
i don't think it would make sense to print edgar in a set with no other vampire tribal stuff in it
true
That are also in the rare or higher slot
coven felt like a draft mechanic entirely
I still think adamant could be used along similar lines to kicker
I feel so sorry for the LGS' that still have the coven precon in stock at like $15
Full set or just one of ally/enemy?
I bought the coven precon iirc
Idr why though
Enemy
I mean there's really not an ideal set to put the eminence guys in, but if you're gonna, a commander draft set focused on legends feels like the best place
This is just crunching at this point based on slots
Ah
Are the allied fetches crunched out yet?
Yup
Boooooo
surprised they didn't go for edgar after including the ur dragon
Yeah honestly including the whole cycle feels obvious
But Edgar is $100
You're only allowed 3 $100 cards per master set
And 2 of them are gonna tank HARD after
He’s down to 70 it looks like
Brewer's Kitchen infinitely mills his opponents with Smeagol.

I am generally terrible at draft but, LOTR is the easiest format I've ever played.
Red and Black are so good but, they still end up so open in Arena drafts
Sheesh
yea same
i got to diamond 4 earlier this week in draft
rakdos broken
i am also pretty ass at draft still
Wish I had the opportunities to do draft, but currently farming wild cards takes priority
I wonder what time we getting reveal tomorrow?
usually when they do deck reveals it's around noon est
is it just the sliver deck being revealed or are they revealing the other ones too?
What reveals are we getting tomorrow?
gonna be awhile till Dr Who
tomorrow we are getting 9 (plus reprints) new cards revealed
from CommanderAtHome, they are revealing the Sliver cards
the reveals are being split across content creators throughout the week.

What is some of what you can expect in the Commander Masters decks? Let me give you some hints!
Have a question? Post a comment! You can also catch me, Gavin Ver...
How come there's this one commander channel that just has all the internet personalities
I saw ben brode and egoraptor playing
idr the name
Monday: Commander at Home (Slivers)
Tuesday: WeeklyMTG (Superfriends)
Wednesday: CommandZone (Enchantments)
Thursday: LoadingReady (Eldrazi)
CommanderAtHome had Ben Brode
Ahh thats the name, thanks
does every episode from them feature a known internet personality?
the eldrazi one is the one i'm most interested in. colorless can do anything at high enough costs so i have no idea what to expect with that one
we're casting ulamog turn 2 every game right 
god damn do i hate reminder text lol
good thing this says hand
why
if it didnt then it would cascade chain
tbh i dont think they needed to worry about that due to the nature of cascade
like sure you could cascade a blightsteel into a kozilek and then cascade again
but theres also the chance that the blightsteel cascades into a sol ring
"Then do it again" is one of the funnest lines of reminder text I've seen
what's wrong with it?
i think it does a good job of getting across what the card is supposed to do
i think its confusing since they dont need to explain that you do it again
its literally just two cascades
you only need the reminder text for cascade
its also not super intuitive as to whether or not the second cascade resolves before or after the first cascaded spell
the mechanic makes you question does the stack look like (top down = filo) this:
Maelstrom Wanderer
Cascade
Cascade
or does it look like
Maelstrom Wanderer
Cascade
Cascaded Spell put on stack
Cascade
and these are very different
Agreed kid
in the first instance the second cascade trigger fully resolves and puts a spell on the stack which resolves before resolving the first cascade
in the second instance all three spells will end up on the stack at the same time
(it works like the first instance for reference)
yo
were ults introduced with initial walkers or did it take a while? or how come not all walkers have ults
they were all on the lorwyn walkers
garruk famous for his ult that was usable after one turn
im not sure the flavor reasons for some walkers to not have an ult
but its decent design space
yeah makes sense, my favorite walker rn thats been carrying me doesnt have an ult either
narset?
karn great creator is the best walker ever imo
I need a gc karn too tbh
war walkers were a mistake
I think so too yeah how come half of them are randomly walking floodgates
Ashiok narset tef karn
so my theory about it is that the war of the spark set was the first set designed around mtga
there had been other sets added to mtga before but iirc war was the first rotation
the set was designed in essence to force the standard metagame into more of a midranged value slog
interesting
and floodgates are good for mobile game structures due to lowering the skill gap for new players to be able to beat more experienced players
how does karn gc work in commander by the way, do I just pull out my binder
it doesnt work since sheldon is a hypocrite
for a solid decade the commander website said that wishes worked but talk to your group about the specifics of where your wishes pull from
i actually had a very memorable game where my brother put his entire box of eldrazi commons and uncommons from rise of the eldrazi onto the table with a spawnsire
but sometime around like 2016 i think they updated the rules to say wishes dont work
Does that mean karn gc just has the floodgate and animate then 
yes
Well thats a shame
and its still the best planeswalker in cedh
oo I guess cucking treasures is huge

I ran into ashiok last weekend, didnt hurt too much since I dont search or do gy stuff
so I left it alone 
ashiok is also goated
reid duke once said he would consider taking ashiok over a power 9 in power cube
or maybe it was mengucci idr but somebody Branded in Jund
do I just get all the gross WAR walkers and play it in my deck
tef ashiok narset karn, im 2/4 so far w tef narset
my walkers dont really get punched because the fat constructs block hard
my tef stayed alive for like 6 turns
teferi is funny enough pretty awful in commander
I guess it depends on the table right
I played it when the baral guy was tapped out and he just died inside
it turns off the tables interaction
Its ok i have the most 
which usually means the person you pass to just wins
But yeah I noticed that too lmao so I dont actually use it tht much
Narset and Ashi should be good though right
yeah they're pretty good
you have to really be able to protect them though
since commander has gotten so heavily creature based
you can count on me 

oh also I got esper sentinel up to 15/15 the other day 
the table was like "holy sht just draw man"
And grabs back exiled artifacts
Oh you can do that?
buffing esper sentinel is so fun
imoti vs velomachus land destruction is a funky matchup
just recast them that many times and eventually broke through on the last one lmao
@rigid scarab I finally "finished" that dino battles list for standard you asked me for
I deadass forgot about it
me too, till I got bored of boros equipment
i'll post it soon as i'm done with this game
This week we're joined my Mod Anon MTG to find out which 3 color deck is best in cEDH...again!

Cam: I will cast portable Hole
Tyler: I thought they call those pocket pussies?

cascade chain otherwise
cowards could have given us first sliver
you at least are getting 2 cascades in the big AF deck
yoo is that pre rotation standard with extra steps
just goes to show you how insane raffine is
I dunno thugs, hes losing hard to smothering tithe and bowmasters
Hugs you lied to me 
oh sorry sickle
been grinding xp missions
i'll send it
@rigid scarab
[[tranquill frillback]] is insane as fuck btw
When the green card is pushed
with everybody trying to cheat out atraxa/portal, he comes down and checks that, checks artifacts/enchantments and stabilizes you vs mono red
Just imagine this huge Dino pulling out the tiny defib
||tivit died first

Gem day on arena
swerved ya kid 


Ayy nice
I've actually got a Japanese tef in my Elsha deck rn
Although it's the alt art
Oh theres an alt art? til
Wait fr?

I know the foil is like $500 ish but didn’t know the regular one was pricey too
I lied they’re $600
Okay jp narset is $10
Could be worse I guess
I should get jp narset
I kinda want one too, but not $10 want rn

I say this but I also spent $20 on Flooting, a $0.50 card
Second Amass Variant
Gross
Weird fucking card
Reprint sliver queen you cowards
No balls
And the new card in the titan cycle is
Really a confusing choice
Wait what
Oh also the lands in the deck are nothing special
The same lands we've been getting in commander precons forever
Can't have too much value in the $80 precon
Deck is also missing like 3 of the big multicoloured slivers
First sliver, overlord and legion
I will say I am happy about vanquishers banner and heralds horn being reprinted often
Lazotep sliver looks pretty nasty
Yeah those are cards that need to
They fixed [[Siphon Sliver]] to not look like shit either
Woops
syphon sliver doesnt even look like a sliver
Gee blue, how come Wotc lets you have two titans
None of the M15 ones do
Oh but people love cleansing nova
Day of judgment is right there bro it's not that much more
Or... Just wrath?
Wrath is main set iirc
Wait it’s $80?
Yeah the commander decks are $80 each
Commander decks have been $50 for a while now but supplemental product ones are $80
Some stores will have to sell for $90-100 tho
Me when the nova is cleansing
I would unironically leave it in my lgs' 1p singles box
Holy shit why are they $80
Because they're premium™️ (just don't look at the land base) (or the reprints) (just don't look at the decklists tbh)
Hopefully it's just the slivers that seem poopoo
Wotc LOVES money
What's the next deck up to bat?
I can't wait to look at the eldrazi deck list
(wotc fuming because they have to include wastes)
It's fine
its very specific
A very specific polymorph seems eh
the fact that it is specific is what makes it relevant as a win con
The world if this put the remaining cards in the graveyard:
that would be broken
But you’re running things that this card can hit
Unless you’re only using tokens and big things I guess
see, you're looking at it as me running things it can hit
I'm looking at is as using a niche commander that shares a type with x win con, throwing this down and winning the game outright
You've gotta run like only some shape shifter tokens, Emmy, and blightsteel, or it sucks
Also no [[Sliver Hive]] in the sliver deck is insane
Had to make room for cleansing nova I'm afraid
Reprint Cavern of Souls
Reprint Coat of Arms
Unironically tho
i forgot coat of arms existed
Actually insane
outside of ur-dragon, were any other tribal commanders reprinted in the main set?
Three Visits reprint is always welcome
You'd think a $100 precon could have good reprints in it
Seeing this list, I'm worried for the other three
Nah $150 precons can't have value in it
$200 precons were such a bad idea tbh cause for £80 you could easily destroy all of these precons
I'd be less worried about the other 3 only because the sliver deck was never going to have much actual reprint value outside of the actual slivers
the sliver pre con probably plays the best out the box though
With that land base?
Did you actually see that land base?
Frayalise
Yuriko
Scarab God
Azami
Kykar
Morophon
Krenko
Legendary Land
If Gemstone Caverns is in your opening hand and you're not the starting player, you may begin the game with Gemstone Caverns on the battlefield with a luck counter on it. If you do, exile a card from your hand.
: Add
. If Gemstone Caverns has a luck counter on it, instead add one mana of any color.
Not that one
mines
Where's our mox diamonds in precons WOTC
Wait fuck what's the shit one
caverns is a cedh card and sees play never in regular commander
Where's our mox opal
Yeah there's one that's just "5: Tap for WUBRG"
It was literally in the Jared precon
cascading cataracs?
I think unironically the Eldrazi precon might be the best one
Where are my battle bond lands wotc
mox opal requires an artifact density that would make the deck unplayable to run
At the very least they can't fuck up the land base
battlelands should be free in all precons
(no wotc this isn't a challenge)
Thank you WOTC
That too, but there's a gemstone one
Wotc where are my precon true duals
i have no idea then
WOTC where's my precon gaea's cradle
Wotc where is my precon mana vault and crypt
Someone ping me when the other deck is revealed
Double ping me if it's the enchant one
WOTC where's my precon Food Chain
@lusty trench @lusty trench
Oh I was thinking [[Crystal Quarry]]
neither were revealed i just wanted to ping u twice
WOTC where is my precon docksid- WAIT A MINUTE
oh crystal quarry
@lusty trench @lusty trench
@lusty trench it's okay I won't ping you when it's not revealed @lusty trench
If I see hero of dominaria or tef3 in that list I'll eat another jukidai naturalist
I should ping them whenever it's not revealed
Don't ask why another
knew I could count on you
surely we get a [[void winnower]] reprint in the eldrazi precon right
[[Breaker of Armies]]
Take it or leave it
[[it that betrays]] ?
You fool, there's now two breaker of armies
(the second one is called breaker of leggies)

i actually don't think it that betrays would be reprinted
after them saying they dislike annihilator
Void winnower is not allowed in a precon for one reason
It's stax
And wotc would rather die than put stax in a precon
[[not of this world]]
god this art is so cool
[[eldrazi conscription]]
I want the next Fact or Fiction art to just be
An image of the moon landing
syr
eldrane fof
Best you're gonna get for eldrazi reprints is [[Desolation Twin]]
Note that they already said it's not an "eldrazi precon"
It's a "big colorless cards precon"
its good that it isnt all eldrazi. itd be really annoying if eldrazi tribal in edh came entirely from 1 precon
good, so [[blightsteel colossus]] and [[wurmcoil engine]] reprints
Nah those are expensive
blightsteel
You are getting dark steel collosus lmao
You'll get darkseteel and like it
But I don't want darksteel 
You're paying $100 for this, you think we can give you EXPENSIVE cards?
Nah, you'll get enough cards that it's just a bit of value, making it technically worth it
it's not even unprecedented for them to give us good reprints in these precons
I can't remember the last amazing reprint in a commander precon
There's been good ones for sure
How are we judging amazing
Toxic Deluge and Reanimate were pretty sweet
And Swan Song
You could probably count the number of meaningful reprints of cards above $20 or so on your hands
No smothering at mythic isn’t meaningful
I think Jeska's Will when it was like $45 was the last truly "great" precon reprint
They know the value of precons gets carried by the new cards even when they suck
Oh shit are we only getting 1 deck reveal a day?
Yup
Sad
Didn't they normally do 2 a day?
They used to
I feel as if they would all just drop on the same day no?
The new strixhaven archaic sounds interesting tbh
I want a token for the sliver/orc/zombie army
yoo theyre meat hooks again
I mean, yeah
You could do this with [[Maskwood Nexus]], [[Arcane Adaptation]], and [[Conspiracy]] prior
Log in to Arena for 100 Free Gems
yeah but this is a two card combo
with one being to be searched for free (commander)
and a lot of mana but eh
So is the combo with the above cards.
But you dont start with either half at start, Im thinking purely from if she is your commander.
in which world tree or realm breaker enables combo
I don't think she's really worth it tbh
Speaking of combos
it's an interesting twist on a tribal commander, that's about it
I was wondering which is the card in mtg involved in the most combos
Cards like
Kiki-Jikki
Scurry Oak
kiki
oak is involved in trash combos that arent viable anywhere really
kiki has been involved in combos longer than a lot of current players have been alive
Kiki-Jiki is older than me 
[[thassa’s oracle]]
Creature — Merfolk Wizard
When Thassa's Oracle enters the battlefield, look at the top X cards of your library, where X is your devotion to blue. Put up to one of them on top of your library and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. If X is greater than or equal to the number of cards in your library, you win the game. (Each
in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to blue.)
1/3
[[devoted druid]]
Thoracle has been the poster child of every 'draw deck' combo
Devoted Druid needs any +1/+1 outlet for infinite mana
I was thinking Aetherflux?
Nah I’m trying to figure out a 1 card win con for the new enchantment out of the command zone
What’s the one that mills cards till you hit a basic
Aw
who?
Hmm
Should I swap out my Thrashing Brontosaurus with Tranquil Frillbacks
[[Thrashing Brontsaurus]]
No card found for “Thrashing Brontsaurus”
[[Thrashing Brontosaur]]
Yes
[[Tranquil Frillbacks]]
so tomorrow is planeswalker stuff, ok
less to cast for each opponent.)
(

up to three times. When you pay this cost one or more times, choose up to that many —

,





less to cast if it targets a spell or ability that targets a creature you control with power 7 or greater.
