Flarhoon13 on Imoti and the Dino Hippo--Explosive Fatties

3 weeks ago

Having completed my quest to play all 52 of my decks, I decided to try getting a win with all of my decks.

Aug 30

Imoti and the Dino Hippo loss Turn 4. Played no spells after a mulligan. Kurtis created infinite Basalt Monolith 1/1 tokens via Urza, Prince of Kroog, which he played Turn 1 via Jeweled Lotus, and Training Grounds. Only this deck's third or fourth loss. 0-4

Uhm, Jeweled Lotus is still in here, which is an illegal card in EDH these days (unfortunately). Balance looks good, wondering what you'll make of mine (which is more permanent-focused): The Horror ... THE HORROR!

To be fair, I think wotc has had pretty good control of commander ever since they started printing straight to commander cards. The amount of things the RC banned or flagged never had anywhere near the impact of wotc introducing cards that were never balanced for play in standard. I mean, there are probably more Doctor Who Doctors than there are commanders banned under the RC. I didn't check the number, but really, maybe?

I guess I just think that the people that printed Jeweled Lotus have way more influence over the commander meta than the people who banned it.

Thank you for commenting on my deck! I appreciate it. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have not played with this Chatterfang, Squirrel General deck since the banning of Jeweled Lotus and Mana Crypt, both of which were in this build prior to being showcased on tappedout. They were replaced with Llanowar Elves and Fyndhorn Elves. Since these two zero-mana artifacts were replaced, there did not seem to be a need for Urza's Saga anymore, which was replaced by a basic Swamp. Anyway, in the rare instances when one of these artifacts was in my opening hand, a turn one Chatterfang was almost always game over, especially if that artifact was Jeweled Lotus, which allowed me to cast a one-drop in addition to casting our General. Aside from these occurrences, the deck is still lightning fast. There are so many different ways to combo-off and so many ways to find the needed pieces, it is almost a detriment to playing this build: Often times I have focused TOO MUCH on the combo pieces as opposed to engaging in some aristocratic game-play from turn to turn by whittling opponents' life totals down here and there. I admit that once a copy of Old Gnawbone becomes available, then it would easily replace Beledros Witherbloom. I originally had token doublers in this build like Parallel Lives and Doubling Season, but decided to take them out because Chatterfang is a token-doubler, should almost always be on our side of the battlefield, and I could use those cards in other decks. They ain't cheap! Tree rats 4life. Happy brewing!!

Maybe replace Mana Crypt and Jeweled Lotus for them? They are banned now.

May your flight be swift

Thought Vessel + Sapphire Medallion ------> Mana Crypt + Jeweled Lotus

Mostly it was because these cards were so high in price, and now, as I said, Jeweled Lotus is literally worthless (from $90), so, no, I don't think Pauper will attract this particular madness.

Death threats, man, that's when it stops being fun;]. I always liked what Hideaki Anno did when he received death threats for the ending to Neon Genesis Evangelion by showing them in the sequel? (Really, what is the word for what End of Evangelion is?) So, until (if) the RC ever returns, I trust WotC to be good caretakers of the format. (And have many lawyers in case anyone pulls this kind of stunt again.)

One thing I was thinking about with all this was, I wonder if a good split in the format would be combat damage vs alternate wincon, rather than necessarily cEDH and commander. Just as much as Mana Crypt and Jeweled Lotus are broken when everyone is swinging Serra Angels High damage commanders like Slicer kind of play weird in cEDH because they generally knock out one or two players and then lose.
