So we are doing a tribal wars commander at my local store. The tribes were drawn at random and I got beasts. the rules are: No creatures or tokens outside your tribe unless one of your critters makes it. Minimum 34 Tribe Creatures including your general. Pretty much all choose a creature type deals are banned. The games will be 4+ players. No proxies
Before anyone asks, I'm running no forests due to lumbering satyr being my trump card. I've tested this on MWS, but mainly have run into landlock edh decks. This works for me because I usually cheat a big guy in or kill anything with my general. I've nearly no experience with lots of creatures. I'm looking for creative criticism. Help would be great, thanks people!
I've been working with the following list.
So I'm in this Commander game and I stole my opponent's Huntmaster of the Fells. Later I dropped an Ixidron which turns all nontoken creatures facedown. Does the Huntmaster turn into a Ravager of the Fells?
I'm not sure if there is a thread on this or not, but is anybody going to Comic-Con 2013? I just got my tickets and I'm super excited about it. I'm trying to find out more information about what will be happening this year, inside and out of the convention center. I know it's a bit early, but there has to be something out there.
I don't cut decks. Whenever i tap a deck, I feel like I'm playing blackjack. If someone asks " No cuts?" I just say that I trust them, and if they're cheating then I don't have to feel bad about losing. Honestly though, it seems as though my opponnents tend to mulligan more when I don't cut.
Boros Reckoner, I've always wanted to see a decent Minotaur, and here he is. Madcap Skills is worth mentioning though. It won me a good amount of limited games.
My favorite is a legacy mono green elf deck that only runs 17 lands. Using Quirion Ranger and Wirewood Symbiote, I get to do a lot of combat and mana tricks to hit hard from what looks like a small field. Most competitive players used to laugh at it because it didn't look competitive, but the forest walk and the Thorn of Amethyst surprised them. This was back when Threshold was big. Taking people by surprise is always fun. It really makes me miss mana burn and damage stacking. My deck was harder to play then, but it jsut made it so much more satisfying.
I don't know if I would recommend pizza. It's greasy, and getting that all over your cards, or anyone elses, seems like a bad idea. I guess a fork and knife couldn't hurt, but that defeats the purpose of finger food, doesn't it?
I enjoy using people's own strategies against them. Ex: Stealing my oponnent's Wrexial, the Risen Deep Commander and hitting them with it, while playing their spells. Or killing their Putrefax and sticking it on a Mimic Vat.
Other than that, Versatility, like Gideon Jura and, of course, winning.
That's what we were thinking. He would have had more turns, and most of them before mine. Riku with 8 turns would have left with little ability to recover, especially sicne I was playing mono blue.
Another one of my favorites: i was playing Brilliant Ultimatum in Standard. I go off with nothing on field. Brilliant Ultimatum into 2 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, Jace, The Mindsculptor, Time Warp, and Liliana Vess. He piled into Emrakul's on one side, and everything else on the other side. I took everything on that other side. It was kind of a win more situation, but I enjoyed it.
I was playing EDH with a friend. He's playing Riku of Two Reflections and I was playing Ixidor Ixidor, Reality Sculptor. I have 3 Islands untapped with a level 6 Echo Mage, and a face down Disruptive Pitmage. He has Riku with a ton of mana open. It's his turn and he casts Time Stretch, copies it then reverberates it and copies that too, tapping out. The guy next to us, turns and says " That's when you scoop." I say "Hold up, maybe I can try something. I then remove two blue cards from my hand and cast Commandeer, copy it twice with my Echo Mage, morph up the Disruptive Pitmage, proceeding to steal 6 turns and counter the last Time Stretch. I was quite pleased with myself.
i feel like this may eliminate a lot of the creativity involved with making an EDH deck. Now we will be seeing these precon builds with Generals that were created for the format... Then again we do seem to run into the same Generals anyway. Maybe I'm just jealous cause my Generals don't get special enlarged versions of themselves...
I have a feeling Gerrard Caspian and/or Eladamri Lord of Leaves will be in here. They are rather famous legends. If Urza had been printed I'm sure we would be.
