DemonDragonJ Sure, but mass exile is definitely a thing white can do. It's a lot less common than mass destroy, and putting it on an artifact is a new twist, but white is willing to exile its own stuff as part of keeping the battlefield clear. Final Judgment and Sunfall are just as much self-exile as Pinnacle Starcage.

I previously purchased most of my cards from TrollandToad, but I switched to TCGPlayer, because I found TCGPlayer's selection and service to be vastly superior, but I do not wish to support them, now, so, rather than finding a new online vendor, I likely shall shop at my local game store far more frequently, now, although that store does not have foil cards or cards with alternate artwork nearly as often as I wish that they did.

legendofa, that makes sense, although it is still very rare for WotC to design a card in which self-exiling is part of the effect, and not the cause.

Deck needs more lands / less CMC, as it is too slow
Might remove the following cards for being to slow / high cmc
In favor of less CMC / more lands:
-
2x Forest or Rejuvenating Springs and Hedge Maze if you got budget

At the beginning of your upkeep, reveal the top card of your library. If it's a creature card with no abilities, put it onto the battlefield. If it's a creature card with one or more abilities, put it on the bottom of your library. Otherwise, put the card into your hand.

I’m hoping we swing back towards a less-integrated, and touchscreen-less, aesthetic in cars. I recognize that I’m old and liked a lot about The Old Days(tm), but touchscreens seem like a genuinely bad idea. I hadn’t thought of this aspect of it, but it definitely will cramp the physical alterations to cars. When my kids first encountered a tv with knobs that clicked they were enamored with them, so I’m still optimistic for the future. There’s value in there…

How r u on draw? I dont c 2 much of it. Maybe another tutor or 2 couldn't hurt.
You have a lot of landfall synergy and cards that are dependent upon urborg. You also have some cards that benefit u/hurt opponents when they play lands which they won't late game. I am unsure if they are impactful enough. Perhaps replacing them with some more draw could be useful. You do have a low avg cmc and ur commander costs 5.

artcwolf22 The bots like abandoned threads. Usually advertising some real-world "magic" stuff. I think they're attracted to the word "magic" or "spellcasting" or something.
Actually, that could make an interesting RPG critter. Some annoying bug or something that's attracted to magical areas or items that have stopped being used.

It's a little known card that I used to use in a fog deck, but Luminarch Ascension could be a way to close this out if you wanted a clear win condition ;) It also has a horrible sense of foreboding too when you keep silencing or preventing that all important attack damage and they know what's coming.
This deck is right up my alley. Love it. Well done!

You may cast this creature from the graveyard or from exile if a creature you don't control died this turn.
Whenever Squee deals damage to a creature, put a +1/+1 counter on Squee.

Thanks artcwolf22. I find Tooth and Nail works great in a more traditional (i.e. ‘better’ lol) shell full of mana dorks, but not so well here. The cheaper Eladamri's Call and Fauna Shaman each cost 2, and while they can only search for one creature, one is likely all we’ll need. By the time the combo is up we have infinite mana so casting another tutor isn’t a problem, and Tooth and Nail is way too mana intensive to cast pre-combo without all the usual elves to feed the cost. In other words, when it’s most useful we can’t afford it and when we can it isn’t that useful anymore.

DemonDragonJ The exiling affects permanents controlled by all players. Exiling an opponent's stuff to pay the cost of an activated ability is pretty much completely non-existent.
I think the main value comes from the board wipe for low-mana cards, and the token creation is a way to break a long-game stalemate. Tying back to another thread, it's a heavy control card that breaks its own parity to close out a locked game faster.

I had custom audio equipment (specifically, a new console and new speakers) installed on my previous two cars, because the radio receivers could be easily removed, and I also had new speakers installed on my current car, but not a new console, since its existing console is very nice, but I wonder what shall happen to the market for custom car audio, since the majority of automobiles now have complex consoles that control nearly ever function of the vehicle, since consoles of that nature cannot be removed easily, if at all. The speakers can still be replaced, naturally, but I am less certain about the console, so I wonder if the market for such products shall survive, and I sincerely hope that it does, since I enjoy having the option to install those consoles in my car, so I am certain that they shall be able adopt to changes in technology.
What does everyone else say, about this? Will the market for third-party car audio survive changes in technology? I certainly am interested to hear your opinions on this matter.

Balaam__, you know I've been in this game for a long time: I may have been playing before EDH was even invented. (This makes me biased somehow, though darned if I could say how or in what direction.) All I can say is that, in my opinion, the skill set for designing a good Commander deck consists of exactly one thing: money. The singleton format means that consistency cannot exist unless you double down on tutors, and even then you have to dodge interaction from the whole rest of the table because none of them may have any idea why you want that creature, but they're absolutely certain that you wanting it is bad news. So you need enough redundancy -- again, despite the singleton format -- that you can finally take advantage of a hole in the table's overlapping defenses... And that means throwing money at the problem. And, to me, that's just not fun. I think games of skill should be decided by skill, not wallets. (If I wanted that experience, I'd go back to Game of War: Fire Age.)

He is responsible for half the rules in the book. And also pre-race tech inspection.

I only now noticed that you guys said that the proposed format capped at (M13).. But I still think that my proposed changes, along with the full(er) "Modern" card pool would be the better way to go...
Metroid_Hybrid on Pre Pioneer
1 week ago
I have also speculated on this very idea several years ago, and I've come to propose a pair of changes that would go a long way to prevent the meta from instantaneously, and permanently, turning into a snapshot of the "Modern" meta, circa immediately pre-(M15).
The first one is more subtle....
- Ban any-and-all "Timeshifted"(TSP) cards that didn't otherwise recieve a legitimate, pre-(M15), Modern-legal reprint.
This is mainly to establish the integrity of a (8ED)-through-(BNG); "pure-Modern"/"post-Legacy"/"pre-(M15)" format alongside the (4ED)-through-(SCG); "pre-Modern" format, and the inevitable revival of the "Frontier"/"post-Modern"/"post-(M15)" format..
It will also help keep Fish from getting out of hand...
The second change is a little more radical...
That is, to borrow a page from the "Pioneer" format and...
- Ban Fetch-lands!!!
This one/singular change would have more of an indisputably positive benefit for the hypothetical format than literally anything else!
Think about it: the "Modern" format has NEVER known a time without the "enemy" Fetch-lands from O.G Zendikar(ZEN)...
These two changes would go a long way to promoting a truly-healthy "Modern" format, for arguably the first time ever...
This would also open a dialog concerning the existing ban-list as well...

I got my start with the game back in '01 and played type 2 til' Darksteel came and ruined everything. I still haven't forgiven Arcbound Ravager. I was there when the old magics were written and Commander was still a grassroots thing. It was my younger friends that sucked me into the format. If you ever want to jam out with a precon, i'm always down to play on Spelltable - when my little boy is down for sleep that is. When he was three he ate a magic card - i've never let him around cards I cared about since.
legendofa on Mark Rosewater's Opinion of Trample
1 week ago
Personally, I consider trample to be more similar to abilities like first strike or deathtouch than to actual evasion. Sure, the point of evasion is to get combat damage through, and trample does end up at that point. But the process of getting there involves completely different decisions and patterns than flying or shadow or whatever. Evasion is binary and qualitative--can it be blocked, yes or no. After that point, the decisions start. Other combat abilities are nonlinear and quantitative--is it a good idea to attack into these potential blockers, what will happen if I block with this or that, etc.
Evasion says "This can't be blocked except under special circumstances." First strike, deathtouch, etc. say "This can be blocked, but you'll have to make choices." And I think the actual usage of trample is closer to the second group than the first.
