Icbrgr on What makes a card or …

Gemstone Caverns/Simian Spirit Guide/Desperate Ritual/Chancellor of the Tangle/Mox Opal there have been a lot of free win via Blood Moon decks over the years in various ban lists and formats and mulligan rules to pull off putting out the moon on turn 1.

Truthfully even fairly casting Blood Moon on turn 3 and the opponent just not having an answer or able to play afterwards just feels bad in general when I go to my local game store and it's just a non game I feel bad playing moon.... but its certainly a necessary evil to police the game in the same way Chalice of the Void does.

FormOverFunction on Exile Focus Commander/Deck?

8 months ago

My decks are likely not as effective as you would want, but having said that: when I’m making my decks is usually just focus on the 99 rather than the commander. It sounds like you’ve sort of done that, to some extent or another, but I’m of the opinion that your commander doesn’t need to be perfect for the deck. I would focus on getting a commander that #1 covers your colors and #2 does something useful or interesting that could interact with the other 399 cards on the table. In a different thread I was reminded of how much I enjoy Vorel of the Hull Clade. That card does something EXTREMELY fundamental in doubling counters. You don’t have to have a deck centered on counters to be able to do fun things with him. Chalice of the Void can be effectively taken out of commission with him. Undying creatures (probably) don’t get their second crack at life. All sorts of fun things will spring up in front of you if you have him handy and pay attention. I would want you to try looking at legendary creatures with that eye. You might find something fun!

FormOverFunction on Which commander for a Simic …

I like the idea of using Vorel on other people’s things. He’s in my Simic watermark deck, and it’s funny to double the -1/-1 counters on the 2/2 undying creature my opponent was planning on using, or the stun counters that someone just put on something. Vorel operates on a very fundamental/basic level, which is my favorite kind of card. Totally open-ended when it comes to weird interactions with the 300 other cards people in my pod brought. “That Chalice of the Void is pretty bad-ass... I think it would be even BETTER if it had 8 counters rather than four.....” ;p

At least formally, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is not legal for EDH, so it's a strange decision. I would prefer Ulamog, the Defiler, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, or Zhulodok, Void Gorger as the commander, given legality issues.

Some other small thoughts:

• Field of the Dead (you can support it), Snow-Covered Wastes, Mikokoro, Center of the Sea, Strip Mine, and Geier Reach Sanitarium are all possibly handy lands.
• Memory Jar, Solemn Simulacrum, Ratchet Bomb, and Everflowing Chalice are possibly handy artifacts. Depending on the playgroup you're in, either Vexing Bauble, Chalice of the Void, and Cursed Totem could also help.

Some thoughts:

• traditionally Eldrazi Tron has always needed the full playset of Chalice of the Void in order to remain competitive and ensuring they can reliably do something obnoxious early.

• ditch Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, they’re both too clumsy for eldrazi tron builds - which has no reliable way to assemble tron.

• Forsaken Monument is better run as a single copy in your sideboard than a mainboard card - the card just doesn’t do enough to be mainboard material.

• you really want to be running 23-24 lands.

• i have no idea why Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is in your sideboard… unless Mill consumes a massive percentage of your meta??

• Elixir of Immortality and Lightning Greaves feel like very weak sideboard cards. I’m surprised your sideboard doesn’t have stuff like Liquimetal Coating, Ensnaring Bridge, Wurmcoil Engine, Cityscape Leveler and Sundering Titan

Icbrgr on The One Drop Zoo

Y'know I've spent a lot of time reading up on Zoo and talking to other Zoo players... I think that's a first I've heard someone suggest Violent Outburst... that just seems like something fun to try out and build the deck around it more that's very neat to think about thanks.

I can get behind your other suggestions/reasonings too (This is just a working list I run at my LGS)... I'd love me a playset of ragavan just haven't bought them... I do wanna stick up for Pridemage though; when played on curve T1 Wild Nacatl and T2 Qasali Pridemage swinging for 4 damage due to exalted is pretty big and can unassumingly be impactful for games where "swinging with the team" just isn't the answer. He is also just a mainboard answer for Chalice of the Void/Ensnaring Bridge which are just both prevalent in my meta; where he is pressure/boost normally but also sacrificing him so I can keep attacking/casting is just worth it.

wallisface on Ways to STOP T0 GRIEF/FURY …

1 year ago

CandiedRats Note that while Void Mirror will stop Grief/Fury being free-cast, Chalice of the Void won't, as the cards still have a mana value - although I assume your intention with Chalice is to play it where X=1 to prevent them reanimating their Grief/Fury (but by the time you can do that it's probably too late?)
