Blue. I've only found one mono color blue commander that I wanted to build. It's also the color I find myself putting the least amount of cards of when playing multi color decks that have blue.

Not saved and I forgot the deck at my friend's place because I'm a fucking idiot. Ask me next week or something. Pretty much it's like ~20 Threatens + Eldrazi and all the cards that make tons of spawns for ramp. Card draw is ASS because monored + I hate impulse draw, so it relies on reallll shitty/budget stuff like fuckin Arcane Encyclopedia/Eye of Vecna/Bonders Enclave/Bandit's Haul/Heirloom Epic/some others I can't remember. But it balances the deck because it's a piece of shit that steals people's big baddies and emerges out eldrazi from them and of course runs all the "your creatures have haste" stuff so they can immediately attack

Lets say I cast this and have Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite in play giving all creatures -2/-2 and my opponent only has 1 creature.

Will the state-based action of the inkling dying from Elesh Norn after being gifted via the ETB happen immediately causing the prepare trigger to fail or will the spell resolve seeing that my opponent has more creatures than me giving me Swords to Plowshare?

>>97894603
Pretty sure the SBA isn't checked until after the entire spell resolves. So the prepare should take hold for the brief period the inkling exists as a -1/-1

>>97894603
First, there's no spell resolving in your scenario, it is the Emeritus' ETB triggered ability resolving.
Second, it's all one ability with no gap so the State-based action of the inkling's death doesn't occur until after the entire ability of the Emeritus resolves, including the creature count check. tldr, in that scenario Emeritus would become prepared

We got those glimmers which became enchantments when they died. I don't think turning into equipment would really be that hard to implement mechanically. I was myself hoping for a partner equipment theme but I like this idea of turning creatures into equipment as well.

Happens when you retread the same deck themes and reuse all of your good staples for said theme. Whenever I build anything new it has to be something I've never played before.

You could of course, shove these ideas into a main set but this feels like something you'd have an easier time designing a precon for.

They're all real. There's no such thing as a fake card. If I write Command Tower on a piece of looseleaf and sleeve it and play it the pod understands that I can use it to generate 1 mana of any color in my commander's identity. If I print out a picture of a pornstar with Swords To Ploughshares typed across her ass in 12 Times New Roman and glue it to a bicycle card and sleeve it up and I draw the card and pay 1 white mana and declare a creature as the target the pod understands that that creature is exiled.

There's no such thing as fake cards.

>>97896323
No you didn't read it right but yes, the reason why they'll never print it again is not because it was complicated to understand but because of how powerful it is on the defense. Since you get to allocate damage, you can choose to allocate any trample damage to the 1/1 you chose to band with. This means that you don't lose your banding creature, chump block all trample damage, and just lose a separate less creature

If you blocked two creatures with one creature, you are cheating though. Banding allows you to block one creature with two(or more) creatures in a band, and you get to allocate damage rather than controlling player.

>>97896673
should have been clearer: The felothar player had the towering titan, and the Doran player had the tree of perdition. I was only blocking 1 creature with two gryphons(including the banding one)

Seems like Yenna but more mana efficient and with a smaller scope. Wouldn't be that interesting to build for it.
How about something like this, which is probably more fitting with the colour identity?

When an aura you control becomes unattached from a permanent, exile it. You may return it to the battlefield at the beginning of your next upkeep.

The idea is that it shifts around the idea of which auras are good, making for a much more exotic deck. Usually, effects that weaken a creature are bad since it's only removal if the creature was already weak, and when buffing a creature a small buff isn't that helpful since if the creature dies then it's just costing you card advantage.
If auras that disappear because the permanent they were attached to was lost can return, then it flips the balance on its head and a card like Stab Wound goes from trash to actually viable; every turn it can pick off a 2-toughness creature and deal the controller 2 damage. So to build a Sofia deck you'd have a bunch of trash buffs and debuffs in play that keep appearing on something else if the creature they're on dies.
However, it's not too oppressive since opponents can still use removal on the enchantments themselves, unlike if it was a simple "on your upkeep bring back all auras from your graveyard".

hm hm ok. the general idea was that you'd go wide with auras, things like pacifism on opponents or general buffs on your dudes, with the flavor being that the coven of witches were doing some hocus pocus to make more enchantments.

>>97896832
I think I had a half assed iroas deck at the time but I was still playing modern/standard still

>>97896778
Tacking one small thing onto this:

When an aura you control becomes unattached from a permanent, exile it. You may return it to the battlefield at the beginning of your next upkeep. *Otherwise, put it in your graveyard.*

Realized it was a bit odd (especially for a black effect) that the cards just stay exiled if you don't return them to the battlefield, and it was vague what happens if you try return them but there's nothing to attach them to.

>>97896675
Should we post more cringe OC commanders?

Can a rules nerd explain to me how terra magical adept is 5 color? The color identity pip on the backside is gruul? I know she creates double WUBRG but I always thought the identity pip was king. Same with how the MH3 sorin has a Orzhov color identity pip on the planeswalker side?

>>97896923
Producing mana of a certain color makes the card that color. So a mono-G creature that makes only W and B is abzan, but a mono-G creature that makes any mana is still mono-G

>>97896923
If you see a colored pip on a card, front side or back side, that is, or is part of their color Identity.

>>97896931
yeah basically the rules text having all 5 colors makes it a WUBRG commander but the saga creature itself is gruul? Am I getting that right? you can't red elemental blast the saga side?

A mana pip appearing anywhere except reminder text counts towards colour identity.
Even something like Mtenda Lion still counts as a green-blue card despite the blue pip in the rules having nothing to do with the controller.
I do wonder though if it makes sense, having things that aren't mana costs the controller can pay count towards colour identity.

>>97896937
yes what is so hard to understand that youre not getting through your skull?? a card's "color identity" for commander (a player made format) is based on its mana cost + other card text other than reminder text (this is an example of reminder text in parenthesis), like a colored cost in an activated ability or a type of mana it can produce

this is related to why you cannot put a plains or a forest in a grixis deck (but you could put a misty rainforest or marsh flats in one)

They really went out of their way making the TMNT cards announce themselves with their names so you can barely avoid the shame of playing one, didn't they? That new 2 drop artifact with the anthem effect AND the clone effect for 5 mana is awesome but it's literally called Chrome Dome.

Like you could, so easily, have just made an In-Universe card like this for Ixalan, Innistrad, Mirrodin, or even make it use that token that Farid uses
>3 drop with 3 cost Squad (upped by 1 mana so it triggers Simulacrum Synthesizer winkwink)
>1/1 deathtouch (the 2 is unnecessary when it's meant to trade up infinitely anyway)
>when it hits face you make Map, Blood, Powerstone, or Scrap token

I mean, look at this thing. 2 drop, anthem effect, colorless, has a mana sink to easily do something stupid infinitely if you make infinite mana. I want to use it SO fucking bad because even the art isn't that bad, but the fact they had to call it Chrome Dome? Why not Chrome Killer? Why not Chrome Ninja? Just anything that isn't so juvenile or stupid (yes, I know the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are literally built on teenage silliness). It's probably one of like 4 cards in the entire set I'd consider using because it's not an ai generated pizza or a dozen of the same turtle card.

Several lesser Avatar and TMNT cards were downgraded from legends despite clearly depicting named characters. Chrome Dome is one of them. Going to guess it's mostly for the sake of limited and standard.

Had no idea that was a named character, then again I dropped Avatar around the time he went to learn firebending and the rest I've seen through various clips of cool shit like Azula's fights, Mai, Ty Lee, etc. I've had yet another change of heart so I'm trying to make a slightly aggro Esper Urza deck because I realized my Sidar Jabari is straight up using none of my good Esper resources so I can just throw the good shit in here.
I'm sure I'll change my mind in an hour or two. I want to build a new artifact deck but I can't get into the right mindset since I came back from hiatus, and playtests with Golbez haven't felt very good lately so I want to change it. It's a weird struggle I always have since Artifacts are my favorite archetype.

Do you guys ever shuffle cards between multiple decks? Like I have some of the bigger staples (e.g. ancient tomb), but I really don't want to buy multiple copies.

>>97897485
Multiple copies or moving them between decks is the only honest way to do things.

>>97897478
You have some kind of complex with Urza, don't you?

>>97897485
After WoTC shit the bed with the 30th anniversary proxy set I just proxy any staple I need 20+ copies of for all my decks

>>97897518
I like just about every single Urza card, he's my favorite character in lore and the entire concept has always resonated with me. Lord High Artificer is really strong and I love it, Lord Protector and Prince of Kroog are both cool, and Chief Artificer literally produces my favorite token in the game consistently and is built to just keep doing that.
I know Mono-Blue is stronger, and I'm aiming for a 4-5, so maybe it's better to just commit to it and make the strongest one I can while still being viable for more normal play. I just dislike having 50% of my deck be counterspells which is what cedh feels like. I was really hoping for Reality Fracture to have a super fucking sick Grixis or Dimir Urza and a Jeskai/Boros Mishra so they keep their central color (Urza as blue and Mishra as red) but go the opposite ways.

The ability to kill commanders has fallen off hard because people have realized the strongest way to build a deck is when your 99 functions independently (your progress towards a win isn't as telegraphed, harder to disrupt, less committal to cast commander, etc). This isn't even getting into how Breya's cost makes it difficult to find mulligans capable of actually reaching her.

I think it's fair to not want the slop to be so tonedeaf that it's TMNT. I think the last time he got shit on he rambled about "appropriate UB" and things tonally consistent with Magic's world. Problem is Nosewater doesn't give a shit about that, he just wants his nostalgia in the game. That's why we got TMNT, Spider-man, and the worst offender to me was Brothers' War. A set about the inciting incident of basically the entire game's lore was forced to carry fucking Transformers cards IN THE PACKS. Not separate, not some kind of side product. In the packs. Replacing your mythic or rare slot. Even if it were a bonus slot it's still completely retarded.

>>97898589
>children's card game

>demographic age means you can just glue everything together and it's fine
Products are liked because of their merits. Advertisements on cardboard lacks Magic's merits, universe, lore, or accessibility since UB is just another Reserve List. I loved Ghost of Tsushima, but the card is now $120. Not really helping out all of those "kids" playing a game with an average playerbase nearing 30 and maybe a quarter of it already pushing 45.

>>97898617

I view the above as crutches, it's not hard, expensive or difficult to include free counterspell #4, or tutor for 5th combo or a bullshit card that instantly wins you the game. There's no strategy when half of your non-land cards all do the same generic thing to speed run into combos. I feel like operating around constraints and inconsistency is more fun, less predictable, and more skill based having to actually hedge opportunity costs of holding mana, and digging through your deck with larger draw rather than shortcutting everything with tutors, taking no risks with free counterspells and 'best in slot' staples.

>>97898812

Yeas, that is not a very common opening hand.

The point is the people you most align with are more afraid of farewell than being gimped by a reanimated jin gitaxias t2 with free counterspell backup so who's the real crybaby here?

99% of decks with Force of Will are better-served running Spell Pierce or pretty much any 1-mana counterspell because a card of specific color is almost always a higher cost than 1 mana when the effect is exclusively reactive. Bitching about any free counterspell but FG is a huge Timmy red flag.

I'm tired of this new edh meta where every deck threatens lethal turns 5-7. It was supposed to last longer

have you ever done the math? 7+2 draws, including mulligan for 1 of 3 tutors, or 1 of 3 counterspells. additionally, the odds of finding the card or variant that doesn't even need to be tutored.
