Oh I named dropped you when talking about leagues lol, but yeah once the point system is out I plan to share it. Right now the plan is a 4 week league to see how we like using the baseline rules as laid out by the RC, and then I think the plan maybe to house ban or unban stuff via voting for the next league. Right now I'm putting together my deck and So i'll post it when I'm done..
Were they super-impressed that you knew me?
I don't think they fully heard me However with the league the next deck I plan to make for it will be a chaos deck with hive mind and friends
He answered my question about building Karlov. This coming after playing against two Karlov decks last night at the same time, and deciding there were enough Karlov decks. Well. Sheldon has spoken. Karlov it is.
I am not sure I'm going to keep my Karlov deck. Unless people get lucky and draw into tons of removal in their opening hand or first few turns, it is just too strong in my meta. My Shu Yun deck can sometimes take people out as quickly, but that is highly dependent on my opening hand and what I draw into. It seems just about any keepable hand with Karlov enables him to start taking people out earlier in the game than we prefer to be the case.
I've asked before, but never got a reply... does anyone know if Karlov sees play in 1v1 Commander? I don't follow that format at all, but from what I've seen playing him, it seems to me that if someone wanted to build him as a competitive general, it would be pretty easy to do so.
I would not expect him to do as well in competitive 1v1 as those decks generally play a lot of spot removal and could focus on keeping him off the table.

Do you mean Duel Commander or 1v1 lolbalance Commander?

I think this is the place to ask, so I hope I nailed it:
In which forum would one post a thread asking for advice on how to build a Casual (though not necessarily budget) EDH deck? It may sound silly, but I honestly don't know which forum I should post a decklist in, and I'd like to spare the Mods from having to move it from the wrong place. Thanks all!
You can post in any of the threads specified for a deck at the top of the main EDH threads. Just mark it as budget.
Otherwise if you have any specific questions feel free to ask them on the main thread. Just don't post your decklist directly on there but rather you can link it on that thread so people can reference you list when going over what ideas they may have for the deck.
Lots of P3K stuff. I'd just make sure it's going into a deck that's going to stick around.
Oh, it will go into my Oloro, Ageless Ascetic solider token deck, which will let me take out the equipment and related cards to put into a possible Daxos of Meletis voltron build.

I know Ulka answered you, but just to clarify: You post in whatever section your deck is built for (multiplayer, DC, 1v1, or variant if it's something like Pauper or Tiny Leaders). That's really it. There's not much of a tag system unless you explicitly want to make something as competitive to attract the attention of people like Moxnix for advice. You can, however, put something like [Casual], but putting a short description of the kinds of things you're looking for or just about your deck in general with the list usually helps.
Being unblockable is pretty darn good for Eesha, although Mageta is a fun alternative. I would say Eesha because you can keep utility creatures around easier to compensate for his deficits.

It's kind of amusing how many people end up thinking that I have inside knowledge of the RC, Wizards in general, or apparently now, MTGO.
Clearly, the best way to resolve this issue would be to make perception reality, so if anyone from any of those groups is reading this, please feel free to confide in me the inner workings and decisions of your respective groups, and I'll disseminate the relevant information to the general public in a responsible manner.
Yes, there's an interesting section that assumes that MTGS is part of official magic-ness. And then since we're in the Commander lounge here, some seem to think we have inside knowledge of the RC.
I mean, clearly, we totally do. Sheldon, Papa_Funk, back me up here!
I've a hopeful suspicion Shadows Over Innistrad will include an effect for targeted and/or global transformation, à la Moonmist. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Loving the flavor of previews so far, especially that Dimir vampire, just wish more commanders would be revealed.

That said, Moonmist + Lunarch Inquisitors seems fun. I might make that deck just to troll everyone.
