Me pulling up to Commander Monday

[rigid scarab]

Zero value but its miku so its value

[zinc shard]

There is something... Off about the shelter art

[rigid scarab]

I looked up the artist and it looks relatively inline with their other works

[lusty trench]

Azusa and shelter look a bit blegh

For shelter it’s the eyes and for Azusa it’s the mouth

[zinc shard]

Was gonna say it looked abit too perfect, but then again she isn't a real person so it works

[rigid scarab]

I will say the shelter looks significantly out of place compared to the rest of the lair

Looks a bit too.... dramatic, I guess is the word?

Ngl it looks like a summer pfp

[zinc shard]

wish they gave us Jeskas Will instead of Chandras Ignition. But yeah, Miku fans are gonna eat this up

Oh God, The Professor is gonna have to talk about Hatsune Miku

[golden plover]

Hatsune Miku announces worst value lair

This is straight up $5 of cards

Could they not have at least done a Naya Legend?

[fallow citrus]

interesting

gives you a slower alternative to expedition map ig

[copper pecan]

i love how obvious it is that they made urza's cave specifically so they could have another urza land with the name on the typeline

[fallow citrus]

labyrinth is very cool for the deck though

what was the land that taps for each land with the urza type

[copper pecan]

this will probably be meta relevant

[fallow citrus]

oh that is sick

[fallow citrus]

goyf deck with wight in there

that's coping a bit but still

[copper pecan]

oh shit the kappa cannoneer leak was real

[fallow citrus]

I can't believe they printed a card with commander in the text into modern

[fallow citrus]

Yooooo he was real

I'm so stoked to play affinity exactly once

[granite badge]

I like this a lot tbh

You can use it to ramp in the early game then grab a bomb you exiled with it in the late game

they really are trying to make us legacy lite

Yeah that's the big upside

Although I'm not sure what his home would be

[golden plover]

Probably not worth 7 mana, but it's something you can do in edh or whatever I guess

[twilit canyon]

nice combo. heres a solitude anyways

actually lol fury clears this too

do 2 dmg to norn, 2 to kudo

gg

[golden plover]

Yeah, it's definitely not worth anything in modern

Wait no that doesn't work

Norn gives your board +2/+2

Your guys are 4/4s

But they can still solitude norn

Also fury is banned

I just don't think there's a build of DNT that wants to reanimate norn

[twilit canyon]

fury deal 2 to norn since shes a 2/2

deal 2 to bear

norn dies due to sba

[golden plover]

Oh true, she's "other"

[twilit canyon]

kudo dies to sba

[golden plover]

But yeah, fury is banned so you could theoretically do this in modern

Still loses to bolt or whatever

[twilit canyon]

dnt cannot reanimate norn

[golden plover]

And again, there's no reason you'd play this

But I guess some bad edh decks will want it

[twilit canyon]

if he was a dress down maybe

an actual humility

[golden plover]

No shot they'd print dress down on a body that sticks around at 2 mana

[golden plover]

I just wanted to play funky fair token generation

But yeah, even in MH I think dress down on a body that lasts more than 1 turn would have to be like 6 mana

[twilit canyon]

i had already abandoned standard then

was in my modern phase playing humans and jund and trying to make phoenix work

and a whole lotta burn

[golden plover]

Standard was fucked up by that point. I just thought the funny deck would be neat in a slower standard

[sleek ferry]

Now look at standard, the best its ever been, and has a good argument for best constructed format in the game right now

There’s not a single deck type that’s not represented at the highest level. Aggro? Check. tempo? Check. Control? Check. Midrange? Check.

[twilit canyon]

its boring as shit

[sleek ferry]

Boring is subjective

I find playing with online mechanics boring because you can never actually theory them for real life, doesn’t mean I’m going to bash historic/alchemy

[trail anvil]

do you really see standard as the best it's ever been?

I've been playing it the whole time and esper midrange has just gotten so stale

it reminds me of kaldheim izzet dominance but longer

[sleek ferry]

Easily, temur, 4 color legends, Azorious artifacts are all very fun decks

There’s also about half a dozen fringe decks

[golden plover]

Yeah I'm not sure the extra year for standard was a good idea

[sleek ferry]

I never thought I could find an azorious deck fun till azorious artifacts tbh, deck is just nice

[[assimilation aegis]] was such a cool addition

Equip

[trail anvil]

azorius artifacts are a cool deck but a solid chunk of the meta is the same as it's been for a while. maybe we need a bit more time to discover good stuff in otj but I need something fresh

[sleek ferry]

Well in like 3 months you’ll probably get the worse of standard meta post rotation, where aggro is just king

[trail anvil]

yes because metas aren't figured out at that time and people go with the most straightforward strategy

it's still the most fun part of a standard because people are still figuring things out

[sleek ferry]

Like idk about next set, but thunder junction is so good, there’s so many playables and fringe cards in this set

Probably the best set since Kamigawa high key

[trail anvil]

idk I could be wrong but the already high power of standard makes it harder to see what goes into the meta from the new set

[golden plover]

Hopefully standard is better once Kamigawa and SNC rotate

But those sets shouldn't have been in standard for another year

[granite badge]

I've been liking mono red prowess in standard cause its relatively simple to play

I am gonna miss the kamigawa cards

do we know when more reveals are coming out for mh3?

[rigid scarab]

May 23 allegedly

Or just

[twilit canyon]

thats the release date

iirc

[rigid scarab]

I think they actually just said May 23

MH3 is june?

[twilit canyon]

idr

we will see

[rigid scarab]

June 14

[twilit canyon]

aight then yeah may 23rd

[rigid scarab]

I mean I also thought Assasin's Creed would come out before MH3

[twilit canyon]

yeah i was under the impression

[rigid scarab]

Holy modern gets 2 whole sets dedicated to it in a row

[twilit canyon]

but oh well

[rigid scarab]

Good for them

[fallow citrus]

well

[rigid scarab]

(They're both commander products)

[fallow citrus]

😔

[twilit canyon]

have we seen the same mh3 cards so far?

[fallow citrus]

well you see

the eldrazi card that got leaked had commander in the name

soooo

[rigid scarab]

TRUE

[twilit canyon]

its more of a doompost if we say its all for commander ig

[copper pecan]

people said this about mh1 and mh2 when those were being previewed too

[golden plover]

Tbf the assassins creed set mechanic literally mentions "Or your commander"

[fallow citrus]

sure

but also it adds nothing to just say "lol it's commander product"

[golden plover]

Yeah, it's just weird that a set "designed for modern" has that on it

[twilit canyon]

crazy take but i believe they can design for multiple formats at once

[rigid scarab]

It would be dumb for Wizards not to have Commander in mind for literally every product they make

[golden plover]

Yeah but it's really weird to mention commander on cards designed for modern

[fallow citrus]

kind of coping that they release another 7+ colourless affinity dingus in mh3

so the ugin land can just flop into affinity too

or I simply always open sojourner's

[golden plover]

There's also the whole thing about every set having too many "designed for commander cards" nowadays

Which is definitely a valid argument tbh

[granite badge]

Isn't the exact complaint that commander gets the lions share of cards designed just for it in every product even in sets with other formats on the label

[golden plover]

Stuff like new Obeka does not make any sense on standard or draft

[rigid scarab]

Yeah I mean I certainly would like it if commander could share the wealth with other formats

But for now that's just simply the financially correct decision

[golden plover]

Yeah so it's weird when a set that's "designed for modern" is very commander focused

[granite badge]

It doesn't help the kind of cards commander needs to function tend to be a lot more flashy and bloated

Which ups complexity creep longterm

[rigid scarab]

They made it also share its pool with modern so that it can increase demand

That's the reason they made so many Unfinity cards black border legal

[golden plover]

You know Ezio wouldn't have been wubrg and have a mechanic that mentions commanders if he was actually designed for modern

Also it's designed for modern so that if one of them ends up being orcish Bowmasters, modern players have to buy the set they'd probably otherwise skip

[rigid scarab]

Yeah I'm not denying that Assasin's Creed most certainly has commander as one of its top priorities

[rigid scarab]

Yeah, sharing the pool increases demand

[twilit canyon]

why not? people being obsessed with commander is the reason standard rarely gets new fun brews

[golden plover]

There's no cards in draft to use for Obeka or Eriette

If you pull either in draft it's a dead mythic

[granite badge]

Also btw commander is genuinly fun but the high variance can get unfun after awhile; its all a sliding scale

[fallow citrus]

don't think anybody is arguing commander isn't fun

[rigid scarab]

Terminally online 60 card elitists are

[fallow citrus]

can you point to them in the room right now

[golden plover]

I don't think there's actually anything in that can enable Eriette outside of putting a cheap aura on like... A token?

[rigid scarab]

Mudkip is on a mission to kill every single commander player

[twilit canyon]

if it says upkeep and benefit obeka can use it

[golden plover]

There's like maybe 5 cards in the set that say upkeep for obeka

She kinda nothing in draft

[rigid scarab]

There are 3 other cards in OTJ + BIG that mention upkeep

[golden plover]

Oh so way less than I thought

[rigid scarab]

All of which are R/M

Yeah it's absolutely no secret that WOTC has been designing pretty much all their sets with commander as the forefront

And it's correct for them to do that

[golden plover]

Wow so Obeka is even more unplayable in draft than I thought

[rigid scarab]

There's a reason why MKM didn't do well other than its theming and poor draft environment

It had hardly anything for commander

[golden plover]

I liked when set boosters had a slot for just the commander cards

Made it not eat up a slot for a card that was actually able to be used in draft

its not great but it was tested

I would check for Eriette, but I'm p sure there's not enough payoff for her either

[twilit canyon]

getting those tokens untapped at upkeep actually comes up

direct ramp on upkeep with little downside

[rigid scarab]

There are a total of 5 Auras across OTJ/OTP/BIG

2 of which already blank the creature

And that's splashing for 4c

You just do not do that in draft

[twilit canyon]

you should tell arena drafters

[rigid scarab]

Hey arena drafters

Don't go for 4c

Ok done

[golden plover]

I mean, 4c typically just loses you the draft

Unless it's something like double masters with crazy fixing

I think new Obeka and new Eriette are cool cards, they were just very obvious examples of "Cards that are only designed for commander taking up set space"

[twilit canyon]

@bronze bronze what kind of playstyle do you like, or at least colors

we need something to go off of

[glad peak]

If you want easy to see and make strategies just play elves

Literally write “commander:bg o:elf” into scryfall, pick a bunch of cards on there, then play it

[urban crane]

What could be a good way to upgrade her precon without going infinite combo?

[lusty trench]

Cantrips

And as a spell slinger deck you’re going to want an infinite or two to finish games

Dual caster twin flame is a favourite

[urban crane]

Okay infinite combos are okay as long as they don’t become Stupidly overpowered

Is probably better way of putting it

[sudden lava]

Draw combo ok?

provided no twisted fealty

[glad peak]

Just play all the sorcery and instants that discard for cost then draw, win con being lab maniacs

That makes sense then

Oh yeah art is cool as hell

It's like a better implemented version of the tattoo ones

But I'm not huge on the cards shown

[glad peak]

Welp someone I know doesn’t play magic anymore but every time there’s a commander pod he comes up and snidely remarks how many blue decks there are

Same guy who went off about how blue is ruining the game and how people should only play green “for an honorable fight”

[lusty trench]

If it's not blue black or red chances are I'm not interested

[glad peak]

Same, those are the most explosive, interesting, and interactive colors

[lusty trench]

Dude wants magic to be turn big thing sideways sure that's fine, gruul has cards that punish people for playing spell slinger and such, but there's a reason people like blue black and red and that's because they give some neat decision making

[glad peak]

Oh I played a green deck specifically for him

It was land destruction control with a storm finish

[lusty trench]

GOTTEM

[glad peak]

He then tried to say the player was the problem

But yeah idk why he has such a distaste for blue

[lusty trench]

Counterspells

It's always counterspells

"you didn't even let me do the thing or get the thing on the board"

[pulsar talon]

Did they just not print the effect text?

[lusty trench]

Sometimes they don't

It's not a huge deal for these because they're either memorable or short

Like goblin king is a goblin anthem and mountainwalk

Back to the blue bad talk though, people don't like the idea that their cards can just dud

They want value on their investments without having to play around them

[glad peak]

He hates decks that go bigger faster and any form of removal too which is weird because if he hates blue then he should at least like voltron

[lusty trench]

Classic you're not letting me do the thing

Anyway, show them this and they'll jam it in every deck they have

[glad peak]

Nah, because, according to him, instants are not honorable

I don’t get it

[lusty trench]

what

[glad peak]

I know it feels like I’m adding more but the blue hating thing is just the surface

He loves storm for example but never plays it

[lusty trench]

Idk just show him lorcana ig

Sounds more of their speed

No instants, interaction only on your turn, combat matters a lot

[glad peak]

He loves digimon but of course hates one color and mechanic

[lusty trench]

Hating sec control is a god given right though

[glad peak]

Hating sec control, I understand

Hating ace digimon though?

[lusty trench]

Okay so ace Digimon I kind of get, it's a mechanic that reads a lot better than it does and can create feel bad moments... But digimons power creep has been nuts and it's not even close to the biggest issues the game has

[glad peak]

And crusadermon

Yeah I don’t understand why he hates crusadermon of all things, he wasn’t even playing when it was tier0

[lusty trench]

I need to sit this dude down to make him play against pre banlist xros heart format

[glad peak]

Anyways that’s enough of me ragging on him, he just spent too much time today just trying to get newer players to feel bad for playing their precon/silly theme decks just because they contained blue

[rigid scarab]

How are they getting 30

[trail anvil]

usually a number of creatures and they tend to kill one person at a time

last night was a special exception since someone had that one artifact that generates a myr whenever a creature etbs on any field

[golden plover]

Wait this is ridiculous power creep

Like what the fuck

That's SO MUCH better than blood artist

[copper pecan]

i don't agree

[golden plover]

I guess it doesn't hit for opponent's creatures too

[copper pecan]

blood artist gains you life which matters a lot

[golden plover]

But blood artist is rarely doing that anyways

[lusty trench]

Hits each opponent too for whenever that matters

[golden plover]

Yeah this is "each opponent" and also includes artifacts

[fallow citrus]

merfolk eating so good

[golden plover]

It's WAY better than blood artist

[copper pecan]

blood artist goes infinite with that goblin from yesterday and this doesn't

[fallow citrus]

also got our 1 mana card to go with [[attune with aether]]

Attune with Aether <:manag:292901508654301185>

Sorcery
Search your library for a basic land card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle. You get (two energy counters).
"I've never seen a world where aether weaves through every aspect of nature."

[golden plover]

Provided you're up 1 life, this does

You just have to be 1 life above any opponent(s)

[copper pecan]

okay but what if you aren't though

i'm not saying this card is bad but it isn't strictly better than blartist

[golden plover]

It's not better in niche situations

But it's almost always a straight upgrade

[fallow citrus]

blartist gaining life is pretty relevant

[golden plover]

It also brings a body that you can sacc with it

Yeah the lifegain is the biggest thing you're losing

But I think counting artifacts, coming with a sacc, and hitting each opponent is enough upside this is usually better

You can also just play both

[fallow citrus]

most decks are only looping creatures to sac anyway ¯_(ツ)_/¯

it's just a way to broaden the horizons of the card

the modern horizons, one might say

[lusty trench]

When the brain is surge
