Bookrook on What makes a card or …

2 hours ago

I think that a toxic deck is anything that generally makes their deck unable to do anything their deck likes to do. So a Maha, Its Feathers Night or a Toxrill, the Corrosive deck might be toxic to a creature reliant stompy deck, but not to a spellslinger deck. Even my Beamtown Bullies deck thinks every deck that plays Leyline of the void is toxic. However, I believe that there are some cards that are generally toxic to all decks, such as grand arbiter Augustin 4, or Nekusar, the Mindrazer.

Bookrook on Top ten most toxic commanders.

1 day ago

These are, in my opinion, the top ten most toxic commanders to play against. The ones where you get teamed up on more than the guy with the turn one sol ring.

Atraxa, Praetors' Voice. Infect infect infect infect. Also gets toxic points for being an infect commander.

Koma, Cosmos Serpent.

If they have any kind of token doubler or nonlegendary cloner, you might as well skip your untap step. Once my friend had an Essix, Fractal Bloom out with a Mirror Box.

Numot the Devestator Land destruction. Need I say more?

Tergrid, God of Fright  Flip.

Nobody cares about the lantern. Everybody cares about their creatures going up for adoption.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker

Goes infinite with a ham sandwich. Pray WOTC never makes a blue version of it.

The Beamtown Bullies I’m guilty of playing with this deck. Who new there were so many cards with very big downsides. *cough cough Leveler

Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

Do you want people to play with you?

Maha, Its Feathers Night

Kaervek, the Spiteful, Night of Souls' Betrayal, and the million other cards that give all creatures -1/-1 until end of turn exist.

All the Phyrexian praetors (but mostly Sheoldred, the Apocalypse)

Card draw is good in commander. Sheoldred deals damage to your opponents when they draw cards. Plus,Peer into the Abyss either instakills an opponent or gives you 30 life and 40 cards.

Nekusar, the Mindrazer

Just like sheoldred, but you get access to red for wheels and handsize burn spells, and blue for being blue.

*honarable mention to The Infamous Cruelclaw decks that play 99 lands and Worldfire.

DemonDragonJ on Should I Keep Font of …

1 month ago

I have a copy of Font of Mythos in my Nekusar, the Mindrazer EDH deck, but I am wondering if I should keep it, in that deck, because that deck already has plenty of cards that force my opponents to draw cards, and my opponents shall receive that card's benefit before I do, unless I find a way to cast it on an opponent's turn, so I am contemplating replacing that card with another card that punishes my opponents for drawing cards, such as Razorkin Needlehead from the upcoming Duskmourn set, which would also have the additional benefit of lowering my deck's mana curve. Alternatively, I could replace the font with Cutthroat Negotiator, as I have been hoping to put that card into at least one of my decks.

What does everyone else say about this matter? Should I keep Font of Mythos in my Nekusar, the Mindrazer deck, or replace that card with another one?

I should retract my one statement and point out that not just group hug decks, but decks like Nekusar, the Mindrazer among others.

Necramus on Nicol Bolas and the Elderspell

3 months ago

ZacKrell valid and I totally get it! I ran Nicol Bolas Dragon God grixis in standard, as soon as WotS dropped. It totally turned into a mid-range super friends list where I used elderspell to sac all my own walkers to ult Dragon God. The only reason it was consistent is because it was standard and everything was 4 of. AS SOON as Fires of Invention came out, the deck turned into Grixis Fires.deck and dropped The Elderspell shenanigans.

Bolas is my favorite character in all of MTG. So, when I saw your list pop up on the front page, I got super excited and came to see if there was anything I could steal XD. I'm currently running Nekusar, the Mindrazer as my Grixis commander, but it came from the ashes of a Nicol Bolas, the Ravager  Flip deck. I leaned pretty hard into super friends and stax for that list. Feel free to check out my Nekusar build and see if you've got any suggestions for me :)

Local_Hethen on Life gain, life loss +

7 months ago

I would say to tone back the amount of control. Are you going for life gain using Oloro, or is he a placeholder for now? If you are going for card draw, I'd recommend using Nekusar, the Mindrazer instead, but if you like the life gain then we should focus on how to use it more than just to gain life. I ask because you mentioned liking Sheoldred. She has a draw mechanic and gain life mechanic.

The most and best wheel cards are in and , so you need at least one of those colors, and preferably both. Xyris, the Writhing Storm and

Breaking it down, wheeling has four key parts: you discard, you draw, opponents discard, and opponents draw. This is a very simple, slightly curated list of commander options that care about at least one of these.

"Whenever you draw"

"Whenever you discard"

"Whenever an opponent draws"

"Whenever an opponent discards"

Some side options are reanimator, since you're going to be filling graveyards fast, and spellslinger, since most of the straightforward options are instants and sorceries.
