I'm never going to forgive the retards at wotc for making a perfect card of my wife, with even an alternate card of herself that can go in the 99, designing an interesting new card type (Saga Creatures) - and then giving her all of 12 cards to play with while anyone that wants to build her has to sit there for minimum 2+ years just to get 10-20 more saga creatures that she can actually use.

I bought this one from FPGIYXK (that's the brand on amazon, 4chan won't let me post a direct link) Quality is very nice, and not that expensive. With shipping only like 5 dollars more than what a licensed MTG mat costs.
Its comes from China though, and with all the bullshit going on with tariffs and what not in America shipping was looong, but worth a shot maybe.

I think you're being unreasonable here Satan, Selesnya Yuna is one of the most powerful cards in the FF set with a massive amount of ways to build her, yeah this one sucks but being able to pull literally any enchantment out of your grave once a turn AND give enchantment creatures (not just saga creatures) Ward 2+Trample+Lifelink on your turn is a fantastic design. Plenty of other FF fans got completely screwed. Yuffie, Rikku, Lulu are basically unplayable, Quistis is alright in the 99 but doesn't work as a commander at all, Garnet and Rinoa are laughably bad. I'd take your win because for such a low powered set it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

Haven't had that argument before. Yet. I have had a few where people didn't get that sacrificing as a cost means you have to sacrifice while you're casting and paying the mana value. I've seen more than a few players cast something like Costly Plunder but try to sacrifice a token made by a Monastery Mentor trigger to pay the cost.

I'm playing a meme battlecruiser style deck inspired by that snail youtuber. it's about stacking the deck with ~20x 4cmc ramp and then filling the rest with endless high cost value stuff (cascade, discovery, removal engine creatures etc) while running zero cards below 4cmc so you don't cascade into shitty low value spells.
in general, I believe arixmethes is the most versatile ramp commander in the command zone for various reasons, so if you want to build one, I would recommend him over ruby.

Transsexuals hate hot girls because they're a constant reminder that they will never pass or be a woman. That's why they seppuku at a 41% rate. The more hot girls they see, the closer they get to offing themselves. That's why WotC doesn't put hot girls in their art unless a UB license owner forces them to.

See >>97871486. You can get her drawing a gorillion cards per turn, all while she murders everyone with toxic counters or instant kill combos.

Do you think that playing high power/bracket decks actually increases the odds of winning at the average table?
From what I've seen the closer you approach cEDH the more likely people are to focus on you, which leads to the unassuming average deck winning on sheer merrit of being inconspicuous.
I generally feel being the quiet guy helps a lot.

depends
I have a regular at my LGS that whales on cards. He can't sequence his triggers and plays, has poor threat evaluation, and plays strong decks but extremely poorly.
I can trust him to always overextend and either win because his cards are better or lose because he has poor game sense.
There is another that has well constructed decks that aren't flashy, but know how to pilot them and when to use his removal and protection. His decks are the "weaker" of the two but he knows when to use what instead of tapping out every turn.
A slow player never plays slow and wins out of nowhere, if they play slow but have mana and cards, it's because they are holding things. You have to make them spend it or you lose when you spend everything tackling the first player.

I feel like I'm going a bit crazy trying to come up with fun deck ideas. I play a variety of bracket 2-4 games, mostly somewhat optimized 2s.
If i go for aggressive decks they become linear and samey.
If I go for value engines they have trigger bloat and take forever to resolve. Same thing with storm or spellslinger decks.
I've had mono G Goreclaw decks even have this problem.
If I go for stax or control people will become salty.
It feels like no matter what I try someone will take issue with a deck play style.

It doesn't really bother me; that JP promo Delney is cool and the Miku snapcaster looked pretty sick, but it's rare that there isn't another cool treatment. Delney is kinda a lost cause, but I got the Chocobo bundle snapcaster and it's very neat.

Recently gotten into magic and have started to play somewhat frequently with friends. I'm kind of the type to really obsess over something new I like so I'd like to play it even more, the problem is the normal 60 card formats just haven't really gotten my attention.
So wondering do if y'all play commander online or is it just best in person/with a friendgroup? If there's an online commander community what do you use for playing the game and searching for players?

A friend group is optimal. You could play at an LGS but those players are usually suboptimal and tend to run very tryhard decks. Online is the worst way unless you get extremely lucky, and the best place to find groups would be a discord (if you plan on being racist) or reddit (if you don't).
Good luck friend.

I've been making a Bob's Burgers proxy deck for a friend recently using sloppai.
And there's a couple of things I've realized about image generation while making """art""" for this deck.
1) The AI has no clue what to do with Gene
2) It struggles with Louise
3) Linda is usually pretty good.
4) It really likes Bob.
5) For some reason, it really, REALLY likes Tina.
Either way, food support in naya is so strong that the deck list practically writes itself. I think my buddy's gonna have fun with this.

>>97873113
>Why did they actually print all these mass land destruction cards?
A lot of it was the makers not realizing how important mana generation really was to the game.
Land destruction was common for the same reason you saw the moxes get made.
>>
>>
>>
>>97873113
If you want a real answer, back then you would be expected to have 4 of each relevant mox, sol rings, etc if you really needed mana but most of the good spells cost like 5 at most. Remember that this is the era were a 10/10 cost 10 mana and it required you to sacrifice 2 islands to untap it and 2 islands to attack with it. One of the best creatures of early magic was Juzam Djinn and that was just a 5/5 for 4 with a self-damage downside compared to what we get today which is like 1 mana 2/1 and 4 paragraphs of busted shit written on it. Oh and 3 keywords, too.

Early magic designers had absolutely no idea what the fuck they were doing. Go to scryfall and check any old set and you'll see 200 useless cards like this one then suddenly spot one of the strongest staples in the entire game casually mixed in with all the chaff.

This. Some of my favorite early Magic cards are in Arabian Nights, The Dark, and Legends and 90% of those cards are either utter dogshit or some extremely niche amazing card no one would question seeing every single day.

Look at the beta version of it. It was Red and said "target player loses next turn" and the people playtesting it all said that the game was fun except that they hated that card that instantly won the game. Garfield had to ask "what" and they realized it was mis-explained
>>
>>97873180
Biggest reasons are that it was the first of its kind, it's immediate successors failed to learn from MTG's early mistakes, the implementation of rotation so that said mistakes weren't contaminating later releases, and arguably the most important part of all, Magic has the most thorough support of multiplayer formats. I cannot emphasize enough how much that last one has affected player retention.
>>
>>97873180
Talking and extra turn for two back then was basically "put another land into play and hit your opponent for 4 with 3 creatures while you played a 6 mana 3/3"
It wasn't until the game moved up on power over all that the power nine went for decent cards go flat out broken.
>>
>>97873214
>then was basically "put another land into play and hit your opponent for 4 with 3 creatures while you played a 6 mana 3/3"
Don't undersell it.
Even back then, it was "Draw a a card and untap all your permanents", which even at the time was a lot stronger that WotC realized.
>>
>>97873220
Its was good back then, but I was trying to impress the idea that you can't really look at the old cards through the lens of magic today. Even with an extra turn, you still could do far less than today, and they weren't nearly as broken then as we see them now.
>>
>>97873227
I mean even looking at it unpowered and I assume they didn't have card restrictions back then, so couldn't you just run like +10 of these and auto win the game by like turn 4-5 if you felt like being an asshole that day?

Designers knew each of the colors should hate their enemies but didn't really get how to implement it in any flavorful or mechanically interesting way yet. Land destruction was a lot more common then so a pretty reasonable route for designers tasked with creating hate cards was to make one sided MLD cards to beat that color and call it a day.
>>
>>97873239
In the original first year of magic they didn't have the 4 of rule. They added that the following year.
While, yes, one could have had a single creature a few lands and nothing but time walks in their deck, I don't think it was that likely. Garfield has even said he never though a limit was needed because he didn't think people would own cards for such strats.
How to best play back then wasn't nearly as refined now as then either, and there wasn't the internet back then to talk to other people to figure out how to play optimally.

its a balanced mechanic to keep your opponent from running away from the game if they had too many lands and you didn't hit your drops.
this was 1994 when black lotus and the original mox were legal so blowing up 3 forests doesnt matter as much when you've got a sol ring and a mox emerald and a birds of paradise on the board
also im guessing people were slightly less of big pussies than now where if you interact with their gameplay at all they have a mental breakdown

BINGO. this is what I've been saying for the last 2 weeks. First they limited tutors (like demonic tutor, enlightened tutor, mystical tutor) but really never meant that to include the most basic tutors of all: "search your library for a basic land and put it into play tapped", which is literally thousands of green cards, and almost exclusively green cards (only white gets anything like it for catching up, and red's very few have some fuckery involved to keep them all on the battlefield).
almost all the nerf's of various brackets, "game changers" and all that, harm all colors except green by sizable portion.
even something like Dockside extortionist which, yeah a wild card was one of the best ways for red or Grixis or Izzet to really get some incredible ramp. that gets banned but theres nothing tampering down all the one-sided green ramp.
so especially in lower brackets almost everyone has a splash of green just for this. then not being able to answer with either more powerful cards in other colors that help ramp (like smothering tithe for white, demonic tutor to find sol ring t2) ends up really dulling the "global meta" for more casual games.
then tack on you're not even supposed to do the built-in mechanic since 1994 (acid rain is from legends) of blowing up those forests yet theres no other land tutor/ramping that is really very useful except for white's handful of cards, like Land Tax. Lander tokens could have been much more useful.
in bracket 4 or higher this is not a thing, and people play green much less but if you are wanting a more "mellow" style in b2 or b3 you almost have to choose a green-splashed commander to keep up because the geniuses in the "commander committee" have done their best job at propping up green as the beginner friendly color.
now the latest set has a double Harrow yet...nothing for the other colors even a "power crept" Solemn simulacrum for this decade. example 9000 of them being completely tone deaf.

>>97873144
Land ramp is too hard to police I think. It's easy to say "grim monolith is OP" but green land ramp is an entire package of cards, not just 1. Pretty much any green deck an run 10-15 land ramp cards and make sure that they'll have absurd mana quickly, while also thinning their deck to leave nothing but gas.

Yeah because every moron keeps trying to build their mono u/r/b, Boros, Dimir, Orzhov, Rakdos, Azorious, Izzet, and Grixis decks like diet Simic decks that can grind out real Simic decks on value. Timmy's Dr. Eggman deck will never be Tatyova and he will keep losing because he's trying to play it like one instead of leaning into how powerful his control tools and removal are.

Now, aside from the joke, that's a very stupid concept and comparison. JotC does not make black people cards constantly because it's just what they want to do, it's about their dedication to "diversity" and "representation". Now, it isn't hard to connect that to the very blatant media pandering in various places that explain representation now is "more important than ever" for getting people into hobbies, shows, movies, etc.
No one thinks literal eldritch horrors are playing this game (except tranners) and because they're fictional you just look stupid.

Got salty last time I played because we got genuinely pubstomped (turn 1 tutor into turn 2 combo, didn't disrupt it because I know the guy gets really bitchy and didn't want him being a wet blanket all night) and then when I managed to have a good game at the end of the night that same guy got really bitchy (imagine my shock).
It was like having an epiphany. Games are less fun, games are getting so fast I basically can't play stupid stuff any more, even when I do play stupid stuff I have to purposefully misplay to protect other people's feelings.
The have sucks now. The aesthetic is trash with MMIW2SLGBTQIA+ characters in wheelchairs with xey/xem pronouns on every plane. So many cards are obvious whale bait, which in turn only makes games even faster and even less satisfying.
It sucks. It all sucks now. It's sucked for a while but I had my one pod and we had our decks that were only okay and things were good enough. They aren't good enough any more.

How would you even define that? Pretty much the only thing it did right was the concept of mana but even there it bungled execution with lands where for all the cope you can spout about them adding their own layer of depth, introduces so much frustration no other game made after 2000 sought to emulate them.

Things like the stack and priority, the idea of interaction, the concept of color design, etc. They had a lot of good ideas, even though it took a few years to refine them in some cases, but their actual implementation was really really bad. Which is understandable, given that it was basically the first major tcg, but they never once rebooted it or let it die and made a new game with better card design so we're now stuck with a bloated tcg that's 20+ years out of date because too many nerds are sunk cost into this game and refuse to let something new with better card design rise up. (To say nothing of investards who actually treat this game like it's their 401 and live in fear of the secondary market crashing)

Lands are one of the best parts of the game and it's why there's literally 1 competitor in the TCGspace and that game is utterly fucking plagued by t1 kills and needing 16 paragraphs of instant speed hand abilities to stop t1 kills. Lands are a great limiter in a lot of chaos outside of Magic's highest tiers of play.

im just wondering what gay retards have to do with missing indigenous women (and what IS a woman, anyway?)
but you have to not play badly to appease those types. seriously its not worth it to be like that. and its female type behavior. people need to take the "salt" for what it is and be an adult.
also I must be the only person on planet earth who's bracket 4 games don't end until at least turn 8, with usually the first player losing on turn 6 or 7 at the very earliest. I won the last game of the night last night at turn 11 which is a longer game but not unusual.
>>
>>97874753
and just think where magic would be without lands. The idea for lands of different magic to them is what inspired Richard Garfield to make the game in the first place
I think they need to stop gate keeping land ramping so hard to let other colors actually play shit in a timely manner because land is often the biggest hiccup in play and the least fun part of deck building.
and I love picking out my favorite art islands and swamps and mountains but more than 1/3 of the deck being lands does suck

They already don't and haven't for a while. It's just that green gets the best land ramp and EDH players are greedy as shit so they won't pay the premium to get it in other colors.
>>
>>97874799
They can't create a proper fix for mana cost because the design team also has to sit there designing intentionally bad cards so packs can be stuff with commons/uncommons to feed paypiggies gambling dopamines. Don't forget Magic isn't primarily a card game, it's a casino game disguised as a card game. It's always going to be hard to balance a game when the main goal if it is to get retards opening lootboxes.

that is hilarious and I actually just bought that card last night. but I already have Stranglehold which also stops extra turns + library searching (mainly have it to hurt green land ramp.
played against some randoms the other day and the winning player had this extremely annoying recursion of the extra turn card from that Chinese portal set.
added in leyline of the void right after that as well, ha

pay the premium for what? the fastest way to get a green-style ramp is Wayfarer's Bauble and its really not fast enough compared to a typical green land tutor + ramp.
Solemn Simulacrum used to be ok but 4 mana is just too much for that effect now.
Walking Atlas I've considered adding in quite a bit but the summoning sickness really ruins it for me, and the fact that unless someone plays a Wheel, the only time you're likely to end up with multiple extra lands in hand is the start of the game.
Surveyor's Scope is one I'd like to try that I haven't yet but really it's more akin to Land Tax than green ramp in my opinion but if it works it seems like it would work REALLY well.

Does the quality of foil depend on card rarity?
I feel like I don't have much trouble with rare/mythic foils, but common/uncommon foils seem to be trying to fold themselves in half
Also foils should be like 10x rarer IMO, trying to find a non-foil version of a card should not be a problem that happens

this one's ok because it's about the white man's burden
>it is our responsibility, as white people, to reach out with compassion to those who are suffering from retardedness (niggers)
I completely agree, though oftentimes compassion means whipping into shape, for their own sake, those who can't help themselves, not giving them unlimited KFC and free roam to loot and murder

Honestly, it's just a matter of learning basic deck construction and then modifying that to meet your goals. Learn learning how to identify your wincon and then obtain/defend it while disrupting your opponents is all about proportion and getting statistics to favor you.
If playing really teaches you anything, it introduces you to new card interactions and gives you a general sense of how to identify cost efficiency. But it's kinda like watching a car drive, you won't understand why it's fast unless you actually look under the hood.
TL;DR
Playing teaches you what makes a card good.
But it won't teach you what makes a deck good.

The way to get good at deck building is realizing that all the unfun shit you don’t want to put in your deck actually does need to go in there.
Soi-people like Command Zone will call it some gay shit like “eating your veggies” but that’s an understatement. The single best thing you can be doing for your decks is cramming them with ramp and draw, and that means seeing the same couple dozen cards in every fucking deck.
Theres only so many good rituals, mana rocks, and draw spells and if you want your decks to be good you have to cut shit you find thematic and evocative to make way for the same cards you run in every deck that shares a color

All the untapped ones are basically auto include in mono and dual-colored decks, even some tri-colored.
Some of the tapped ones are very good too.

Depends on the kind of board wipe.
"Destroy all creatures" or "Destroy all artifacts and enchantments" are a dime a dozen that gets printed nearly every single set. You can and should expect some of that in pretty much every format short of pauper. That's just a fair way to punish people for over extending or putting all their eggs in one basket.
When you start getting to the "Flip the fucking table" levels of board wipe like Planar Cleanse or Farewell and you don't have a way to end, then your friends are going to start wondering what the fucking point of still playing is, or why they're even still friends with you.

>no argument except "WAAAHHH"
Play Yugioh, then. Enjoy your t0 wins or 6 hand abilities that freely counter your t0 win and turn into a t1 win for the other player. That's the state of that game right now.
There are multitudes of examples of how fucking ridiculous the state of a game with no cost becomes, because this is just one of dozens of cards that punish being able to summon an entire board (5 monsters) instantly. the entire game has shifted into being unable to let one player keep up with another without being able to activate multiple effects that come from the hand. It's why trap cards are currently dead because you don't have the time to wait until someone else does something after it's placed.
