Wuzibo on Questioning the Iona Banning

2 years ago

TypicalTimmy

I picked up Kaalia. It is hard for me to find a table where i'm not instantly the biggest threat at the table, and that's not even for stuff that's "unfun" to play against. It's just how aggro she is. I don't even run land destruction outside Myojin of Infinite Rage and Obliterate, which i have to hard cast, since i like to keep it casual-ish. I don't misplay them though. I blow up lands once kaalia is out, so then i win in short order, and i'd only obliterate if i was also casting Boros Charm at the same time or had something to make at least kaalia indestructible so it wasn't just making the game an hour longer. I guess that's not hate. That's just fear. Sheoldred is more "hate" inspiring.

Well there you go. Vanilla 2/3. Useless. Dies to bolt. Will probably be a waste to swing into someone because in all likelihood by the time i've cast him they have something bigger because they're running a lot more creatures they intended to bring to combat. If i use him to block i will probably just lose him and i'll really only be prolonging the inevitable. Might as well build a flavor text deck at that point. That way i can get a vanilla 2/3 for a lower mana cost or maybe even a 3/3 or 4/4 for the same cost.

That's not in "the spirit of commander". It just shuts down my strategy with very few counterplay options on my part to re-enable my strategy. Same as iona. There are answers to her, even if youre playing a mono-color and she names that color. Spine of Ish Sah, right? Mycosynth Lattice makes her a vanilla 7/7. It's just shutting down your primary strategy, which ostensibly included casting spells of a certain color or colors like most MTG decks do. Against Iona you can still cast nevinyrrals disk or O stone still. She doesn't stop that, so it's not That big a problem. You could still cast your sol ring and ornithopter or solemn simulacrum or your ramp myr. Ramp into a big artifact creature like Blightsteel Colossus. You can still do that. You can still play with Iona out. Yeah you're gimped, but it's not over. You're not actually hard locked out of the game. Especially now that they have intro to annihilation and scour from existence. I was playing back in the day when those weren't even things. There's colorless creature removal so she doesn't actually lock you out.

Fair enough. If they just said "it's arbitrary", I'd accept it a lot more. I don't put up some of my decklists because they're basically the same as something else, just with some minor tweaks usually due to what cards i have available to me. The only one i've really considered adding is my kaalia deck. Not enough people believe in the power of Sunforger, and I have not seen one person running the Hilarious "Tap to win at the cost of a quarter of your life" combo that is Heartless Hidetsugu and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight.

I just wish the rules committee would choose to balance around competetive play all the time instead of only some of the time and then leave it up to casual players to decide what they don't want at their table, and be more consistent. Like why is it fine that Palinchron isn't banned but Paradox Engine is. With a few lands that can tap for 2 mana (Caged Sun), it can usually just turn into infinite mana right then and there. You cast palinchron, bounce it, recast over and over again, Blue Sun's Zenith yourself, draw every card in your deck. Put zenith back as the only card in your deck. Draw it with a draw spell you drew. blue sun's zenith someone else for infinite... rinse repeat.

Half their bans make sense. The other half just make the RC look like salty bad players.

Vorincl3x Thank you for your help and for your time!!! I've removed Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and Prismatic Omen for Boseiju, Who Shelters All and Torment of Hailfire . I think that Craterhoof Behemoth is better than Rubblehulk and Finale of Devastation is better than the sage. I also want to keep playing Green Sun's Zenith cuz i can do it in early-game to find Dryad Arbor but i will try to replace it with Worm Harvest . Horn of Greed is a good card for politics and i'v replaced Myojin of Infinite Rage with it.

SynergyBuild on Creating a Stax Ban List

4 years ago

First, what do you mean be stax?

There are tons of types. Often, it is in reference to a few, but there are tons.

Land destruction/land hate is a common type, but it is massive in scale is style:

Ravages of War , Armageddon , Ruination , Winter Orb , Back to Basics , Impending Disaster , Wildfire , Myojin of Infinite Rage , Decree of Annihilation , Cataclysm , Jokulhaups , Tectonic Break , Obliterate , etc.

This bleeds into more blurry lines, like Boil , which isn't necessarily land hate, but is color hate, or Blood Moon / Contamination , which are considered stax too.

Tax effects are plentiful too, Trinisphere , Nether Void , Sphere of Resistance , etc. are often considered staxy, Grand Arbiter Augustin IV , Thalia, Guardian of Thraben , Vryn Wingmare , Glowrider , Thorn of Amethyst etc. are taxing, but so are Pendrell Mists , Magus of the Tabernacle , The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale , Kataki, War's Wage , etc. count too.

Even color hate like High Seas can count in that department, etc.

---

Point is, I've barely scratched the surface of the basic stax cards, not to mention synergies like Brago, King Eternal with Rishadan Cutpurse , etc.

I don't think you can ban stax.

Lanzo493 thanks for the feedback.

I think you're right about Where Ancients Tread . I'm going to swap these out.

I didn't include Myojin of Infinite Rage because my playgroup would be pretty annoyed. I'll likely pick up a copy to have on hand in case I need to punch up the deck.

As for Sundial of the Infinite , I have it in my maybeboard, but I've been going back and forth on whether or not to include it. Most of my creatures have strong ETB effects that I would like to repeat, and I think my creature count is a little low. I'm OK with the lower creature count because I am reusing them from my hand. If I add Feldon of the Third Path , then Sundial absolutely goes in as it will have multiple applications.

I prefer Warstorm Surge over Where Ancients Tread because it's almost as strict upgrade. If you're okay being mean you can play Myojin of Infinite Rage . It'll almost guarantee you victory. Illharg loves extra combats. I would suggest running a few. World at War and Savage Beating seem pretty useful.

Illharg plays very similarly to Feldon for the most part. You can check out my deck Feldon Never Gets Any Love to see what I mean, but here's one key interaction they share with Sundial of the Infinite . Because the tokens are returned to your hand at the beginning of the next end step, if you end the turn after that ability triggers and goes on the stack, that ability that would bounce your creature will get exiled as a result of the sundial ending the turn. It triggered once, so it won't trigger again. You'll get giant, free creatures for .

Unfortunately I don't think Myojin of Infinite Rage will get the divinity counter unless it is cast from your hand. Played was updated to cast, and if it enters from your commander's attack trigger it won't be cast.

Farel on Newbie needs help getting into …

I can't deny that Merfolk and their philosophy did fit me quite well. I overall like combo mechanics, powering up, and things like that.

Also, I wish to say that I do own some more rare cards, which could potentially be helpful for future upgrades of whichever deck I'd get: - Hinterland Harbor - Temple Garden - Clifftop Retreat - Azusa, Lost but Seeking - Myojin of Infinite Rage - Scion of the Wild - Earth Surge - Novijen Sages - Sensei's Divining Top

Is there anything out there for me? Some pre-made commander? Is there anything out there that I could potentially create with my cards? Is there something that I could build towards?

_Delta_ I cut Myojin of Infinite Rage , Carnage Tyrant , Splendid Reclamation , Sekki, Seasons' Guide , Ramunap Excavator , Garruk's Horde , and Praetor's Counsel . I have a sneaky suspicion that you suggested quite a few of those because of the "land destruction" flavor which really doesn't fit the overall theme of the deck. I can see cutting the mana-dorks...but I might add in Arbor Elf .
