Icbrgr on Top ten most toxic commanders.

3 weeks ago

Basically any commander that is kill on sight or we can't let it resolve or turn 0 its 3 against 1 because we know if you are allowed to breath we won't breathe.

I have never been in a pod with someone playing Narset, Enlightened Master and it be fine.

Noxid05 on Top ten most toxic commanders.

Good list, but Atraxa, Praetors' Voice I feel needs an asterisk as +1/+1 counters builds or even super friends aren't nearly as toxic to play against as infect.

Personally, I think Narset, Enlightened Master deserves a spot on the list, just free casting extra turn, and extra combat steps repeatedly.

I also think there could be a debate for Toxrill, the Corrosive on this list

builderboy7 on Can I buyback a spell …

If attack with Narset, Enlightened Master and exile a Reiterate, Opt, and 2 lands, if I had 3 lands I could tap for mana, could I cast Opt, hold priority, and cast Reiterate and pay for buyback?

Niko9 on How is the New Voja …

7 months ago

You know, I just realized that with red in it's colors, Voja is probably nuts with extra combat step effects. Just untapping creatures like Priest of Titania and Marwyn, the Nurturer multiple times a turn is big, whil also drawing cards...wait...wow...

I mean, I used to play an elfball deck that would go infinite turn 4 very consistently, and thinking about it, I worry what Voja would do to that kind of deck because if you can try to go infinite as fast as possible, get interrupted, then cast Voja, then try to draw into another infinite, all in a way that synergizes, this could be pretty rough for the other 3 players at the table.

Really though, I don't think Voja will be some cEDH powerhouse or anything, but it may be too much for casual, something like Narset, Enlightened Master

Udpate 18-07-2023: Trying to lean into more two colour for the theme. also d=trying to lower curve, focus on protecting PWs to actually get ultimates off, as the deck struggles to close games. Idea before was almost that any of the good stuff I find can run away with the game (assemble the legion and narset), but I don't think winning that way will be as satisfying. I think it would be good if I can get a PW out, get them to ult, and if that fails, niv to refresh hand and then give it another go.

• Hostage Taker --> Baleful Strix - cheaper, good blocker, cantrip
• All Suns' Dawn --> Primevals' Glorious Rebirth - more expensive and less flexible but direct to battlefield
• Merciless Eviction --> Kardur, Doomscourge - cheaper, gain rakdos, lose removal, still protects walkers
• Silent Arbiter --> Dueling Grounds - cheaper and two colour, doesn't provide blocker
• Ranger's Path --> Expand the Sphere - can get any lands, should find some in top 6, can proliferate
• Basalt Monolith --> Black Market Tycoon - lose ral and brigthhearth synergy, cheaper, and two colour
• Swords to Plowshares --> Batwing Brume - was mainly in there as a simple staple, gain PW protection, two colour
• Assemble the Legion --> General Ferrous Rokiric - was two colour good stuff, now cheaper, and colour synergy
• Thalia's Lancers --> Jenson Carthalion, Druid Exile - lose tutor for combo, cheaper, two colour, colour synergy
• The Wanderer --> Gold-Forged Thopteryx - lose removal and protection, cheaper, two colour, a little protection
• Nevinyrral's Disk --> Pernicious Deed - more expensive, but can do in one turn, and two colour
• Narset, Enlightened Master -> Grateful Apparition - was good stuff, cheaper, PW synergy
• Boros Signet --> Staff of Compleation - more expensive, more flexible, PW synergy
• Rampant Growth --> Birds of Paradise - fragile but cheaper
• Skyshroud Claim --> Radha, Hearth of Keld - worse ramp, but gain gruul and two colour
• Azorius Signet --> Coiling Oracle - blocker, two colour, worse ramp

Icbrgr on Lore of the Dragonlords

1 year ago

Also love the Dragonlords.... Dragonlord Ojutai is my favorite! *by the way did you ever notice the "decoration" around Dragonlord Silumgars neck? lol i love it!) nobody liked Tasigur, the Golden Fang anyway :p

If memory serves me right there was a gathering of the kahns at a mountaintop and there is a moment here/there which determined the future of the plane of Tarkir.... led by dragons or led by the humans.... In the future where dragons rule i believe it was Ojutai who tipped the scales in the dragons favor and the "fall of the humans"... granted it comes off as a bad thing but overall was the better future for the plane.

Dragonlord timeline Ojutai is connected to Narset Transcendent having her spark ignite by the discovery of Ojutai's role in the alternate timeline of Tarkir.

Kahns timeline Narset, Enlightened Master was leader of the Jeskai clan.... I believe there was some sort of major battle and due to timeline/magic/distraction she was felled in combat by Zurgo Helmsmasher.

and that pretty much everything i remember storywise regarding Tarkir/Ojuatai/Silumgar

I wanted to build a deck like this when I first saw Narset, Enlightened Master. You beat me to it! Haha

AstroAA on Mono Red infinite combos???

It seems that all the decks that your mates are running are based on cheating things into play or casting things for free. Grafdigger's Cage is an absolute must. One mana to fuck over both Rashmi, Eternities Crafter and Narset, Enlightened Master. Weathered Runestone is also good for this.

Narset, Enlightened Master's cheat is based on her attacking, so prevent her from attacking. Ensnaring Bridge and Meekstone are good for this.

Meanwhile, for Rashmi, Eternities Crafter, the method to tackling her is to tax the ever-loving shit out of her. Thorn of Amethyst, Trinisphere, Sphere of Resistance, etc. Even if they are able to cast spells for free, they still have to pay the tax. Void Mirror is also an excellent option. Note, all of these methods can also stop the Narset deck.

Meanwhile, Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow is harder to deal with in my opinion since she's putting cards directly into their hand as opposed to having them draw cards. I think the main method of going about stopping them is boardwipes such as Anger of the Gods and Sweltering Suns, as these can help kill the creatures that she hopes to attack with to cheat herself into play for the card advantage. Spot removal such as Lightning Bolt works too.
