Is Pucatrade still active? Kinda strapped for cash at the moment, so I was hoping to send some cards out to get a new commander deck.
Didn't want to send them out if no one's gonna send me anything back though, you know
Hate to be a naysayer since Puca was very awesome to me over the years but I finally zero'd out last month. Currently using Cardsphere and happy with it. Puca is still good if you're sending lots of bulk and are willing to set high promos but I think even that might not be viable indefinitely.
So I went to the fancy new deck builder think "man, what a great place to post up my new deck!". Turns out that my perfectly 100% legal commander is not able to be selected. So I posted it old school style
EDIT: I look forward to the look on my opponent's face not when I switch decks with them, but the moment it finally sinks in that they're playing a deck that can't win.
So I figured out my X deck. I'll have a ton of tutors, draw and counterspells. No creatures, manlands or ways to shuffle in my graveyard so basically absolutely nothing even resembling a win condition. Then I can get X exiled permanently and "win" with Mirror Mirror.
The tricky part will be whether or not I have a way to recur Mirror Mirror. If I do they can Mirror Mirror me back but if I don't and it gets stopped I'm completely screwed.
I am slowly seeing more and more of that broken as hell combo stuff around. Its not really in my meta but just traveling around I am seeing more of it. I really don't like it as the current banned list is not at all fit for that level of play so they almost need to like.... go play some other format or make their own banned list that is built for that. I also don't like it because multiplayer does NOT scale well into that style of play.
I went to play a modern FNM event at a city about an hour from me and before it started I was watching 3 people playing and their games kept ending on like turns 2-5. I don't see the appeal for that in a multiplayer format.
I think that style of play is fine as long as everyone is on the same page but it's pretty miserable when 1 guy has a broken deck and the others have a casual deck.
Went for it. Bought into a modern RW Norin list to try out the league structure because that deck is a ton of fun. Playing through a friendly league now. The interface is a little bit of a pain, but it's manageable. I'll probably buylist stuff next week and pick up something more legacy competitive.
No immediate plans to build EDH, but I'll have the cards at some point by virtue of playing eternal formats.
You'll get used to it. F6 and F8 are your friends. Also make sure you have all your stops set like you want them.
EDH is really hit or miss. There will often be someone with a broken deck in the games but there's still some fun games to be had. I haven't played myself since they meseed up the banlist but I think things are fixed now.
Also how about that Standard ban list uodate? There's 7 cards banned in standard right now
