  • posted a message on My playgroup won't politic
    For the most part, i am trying to encourage more interaction between players than just " i play X card", or friendly banter. i am trying to encourage talking about plays with other players. ANd i do talk about plays myself, but it seems that noone cares becuase i tend to talk a large amount out of game, so talking in game about these things is ignored.

    I play multiple commanders, but I usually play late game, high impact decks,(like a jodah chaos deck for example) or really out-of-the-box decks. i'm not really consistent there, or in my curve. i tend to be all over the place.

    I think part of it, is i might have gotten off on the wrong foot, as i am the one who likes to build decks that are there to have fun, but don't care about winning, and that is contrary to what they like to do. They tend to have the most fun when their decks pop off, and they all have higher budgets than me, as i trade for just about everything.

    Funnily enough, i also have a chaos deck, but it is the opposite of your friends' deck. it's a jodah deck that is just about doing the stupidest crap to the board, like scrambleverse.

  • posted a message on My playgroup won't politic
    I play primarily at my high school's mtg club, but we don't have very members, so as you'd imagine, i play against the same people all the time. But, i've recently run into a roadblock with enjoying playing with my peers. While I enjoy casual magic very much, and have a very small budget for most commander decks, none of mthe other people in my playgroup are willing to politic, or just be casual about playing the game. Most of them are very focused on winning, and play with their best, most optimal decks, while I end up lagging behind, because im trying to lengthen games, and have fun with politicing, and just do wacky things. I'm not sure what i should do, becuase I'm having a hard time enjoying the game when all my peers want to do is win, and don't care about enjoying the process of the game itself.

    P.S. I'm new to mtgsalvation, so if I posted this in the wrong forum, or somebody else has already posted a thread discussing this type of issue, just let me know, and i'll do what i can to fix the issue. thank you!

    Spirus, voice of the masses 1RUG

    The first instant or sorcery you cast each turn costs 2 less to cast.
    Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, if ~ entered the battlefield this turn, copy that spell X times where X is the number of creature spells you cast on your previous turn.
    2/4

    The basic idea is its a deck where i will storm off with creatures, then on my next turn, i cast Spirus, and copy one big spell a number of times. Like, imagine five or six of any temur color instant or sorcery. Five or six scramblerverse will be fun, but there are a lot of other, less tedious options. THe name is up for debate, as i just pulled it off a fantasy name generator.

    Edit: after some discussion with friends, this is the latest vesrion:

    Spirus, voice of the masses.2RUG
    legendary creature - human shaman

    The second instant or sorcery spell you
    cast on each of your turns costs 2 less to cast.

    Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery
    spell from your hand, if it's the second
    non-creature spell you've cast this turn
    then Spirus, voice of the masses gets +X/+X,
    where X is the number of creatures you control.
    Then, copy that spell X times.

    It's more repeatable and adaptable, plus it has some buffers for combos that get too insane.

  • posted a message on Finding eccentric and new commanders
    I am a high school student looking to find a relatively easy to build commander that can be described as unique, eccentric, or just plain odd. I am horrible at politics and instant speed'/control type strategies, but i love really weird interactions, such as an ink-treader nephillim deck, and i enjoy sowing chaos. sell em on your eccentric, odd, or unique commanders!
