If I'm trying to keep this modern legal would yall put diffusion sliver in place of crystalline sliver or should I fill the slots with others? I was thinking maybe constricting or venom just to cut down on people attacking me or to exile some people's big guys under indestructible guys.
Alright well I have started to gather some of the cards yall recommended. Also started going through the retired Primer and Cryogen's deck.
Cryogen can you tell me some of the combo cards that you use and exactly how they work? I am kind of new so I dont always get how to set them off.
Also what do yall think about Mimeoplasm? I have one of those as well. He seems like he is less combo-ey then Karador right? Think I can start converting some of the cards in this deck into a deck for him? If thats the case maybe ill make Karador more combo style and Mimeoplasm for a non-combo style deck.
One of the hardest things for me is deciding what cards to take out. Should I take out cards that tend to shove stuff into my graveyard? Like dredge and what not ones? It seems like 50% of the time I play my graveyard gets wiped and it ends up being bad for me.
Cards over 2 dollars are not a problem to recommend because if they seem like the right card then it will be worth getting it. I am just not really looking to buy all the 20 dollar cards haha
Well just playing with my friends every couple weeks so nothing to crazy competitive wise. I dont want to just flat out murder everyone with a combo every time but I do want to have fun and win every once in a while.
Do I have a decent start so far or am I doing pretty terrible at this my first try? lol
Ok so I started playing magic a few months ago now and have used the forums to help make a few modern and standard decks. I got one of the Mind Seize edh decks from target a month ago and it was fun to play with so I have been trying to make a new one. I have been looking through the forum for help and built what I have below. I have been getting stomped though with it so I am trying to figure out what I need to take out and what needs to go in.
I feel like I am a bit weak on land but any and all help is appreciated. I am thinking I need to put in some kill spells for a flyer I keep getting smashed by Prossh. I am having a hard time decided what is the right things to take out and replace.
I am going to make a list of other cards I have as well that I can use. I am not against buying some new cards but I am also trying to stay on a budget and not buy all the ultra expensive cards.
I also have a Mimeoplasm if that might be easier to convert over to.
Do you mainly use Life from the Loam to prevent yourself from discarding all of your land cards at random? And then dredge it out? For Karador and Mimeoplasm.
Ah also just realized I could throw eternal witness in there and pull it with karador and get cards back that way as well.
Would you put the cloudstone curio in the deck as well?
I feel like genesis wave is going to be awesome as well. I am thinking about running duress and maybe a couple counters as well. I have one called soul manipulation that I like are there any other counter cards that stand out over others?
What are all the land cards you would use with Mimeoplasm? I am trying to see which ones I have already.
In my pre cons they came with some land and artifact cards that tap for all three colors. Do they make those for Black Green Blue? Is there a special name for those three colors like Grixis is for Thrax etc etc.
Haha thanks sadly I'm prob gonna have my commander deck finished before my green deck. Post office screwed up pretty hard on a lot of my orders apparently.
Well my poor primeval titans have been lost in the mail for 2 weeks now no idea when they will come. I have pretty much everything else for the green devotion deck.
Right now I'm working on my thraximundar EDH deck. I've bought a lot of the black cards you recommended for karador because I'm going to build him next. I also got earthquake.
Any other cards you can think of that I could use to bolster him? Any blue cards?
Also what cards do you think I should strip from mind seize first to make room for new cards? I figure I will want to strip out some sorcery/instant cards to make room for more creatures so I have things to sacrifice.
Well I got Nighthowler, Slum Reaper, Barter in Blood, Wrexial the Risen Deep, and Sepulchral Primordial now.
I got them for the Karador deck but I am going to use them with the Thraximundar deck until I finish the Karador deck. I think I am going to take out the True Name Nemesis card I dont think its vital. Now to just pick some other cards to take out to replace them with. I am thinking some of the big spell cards might be the right picks.
I also found a Diabolic Tutor I am trying to get for it but dont have my hands on it yet.
Now all I need to do is find a way to ramp up a bit and I should be sitting nice while I collect the other cards. Do you think I should put a Nykthos in there? Or is that not as helpful in multicolored decks?
Definitely not as ideal as crystalline haha
Cryogen can you tell me some of the combo cards that you use and exactly how they work? I am kind of new so I dont always get how to set them off.

Mainly I was thinking about all the lands I guess. Its almost like it starts the game over from scratch.
Also I figured it would be good info to know in general not just for Thrax.
Also the indestructible cards my friends tend to have a lot of.
