Overwhelming Forces

Sorcery

Destroy all creatures target opponent controls. Draw a card for each creature destroyed this way.

Came here to say I love the deck! With the combo of Squirrel Nest + Earthcraft + Overwhelming Forces and with the addition of Howling Mine and other draw effects, it seems like adding Multani, Maro-Sorcerer

The deck is fun but honestly it's missing some of Black's power. That being explosive mana ramp, hand control, field wipes, and targeted removal. Since you're aiming to give your rats Undying anyways I'd at least run 1 wrath like Damnation, Decree of Pain, Mutilate, Killing Wave, Life's Finale, Necromantic Selection, or the ultimate end game finisher Overwhelming Forces where you don't even have to hit your own creatures and draw a card for each kill.

Yes, I enjoy the redundancy of the maximum hand size effect as it's not unusual for the deck to have 7+ cards in hand. Especially once you have about 3-4 evasive creatures on board, Im more looking towards spamming Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor rather than play the deck itself. I believe the biggest strength of Gix as a commander is that the 99 is capable of investing into creatures, removal, and whatever subtheme you desire while not worrying about card draw cards or really win-con cards.

I'm also at a stage in my Magic life where I wish to play with more interesting cards rather than tried-and-true staples. Im even thinking of replacing Torment of Hailfire with Vorpal Sword as that would be a much more satisfying way to win or at least have impact on a game.

Helm of Obedience is cool but doesnt do enough for me to wish to spend $29 for a damaged copy minimum or around $40 for a moderated played lol.

Rings of Brighthearth definitely is a great card & I appreciate you teaching me about the possible interaction with fetchlands as I never thought about that. But I know most ppl associate Rings with a combo piece and draws lots of hate. But the ability to double Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor's ability for only an extra is very sexy and aligns with what I want to do, so its more about what would I swap out for it.

Discard is a subtheme of the deck so I dont believe singular discard cards like Mind Twist are worth a slot because we dont have enough benefits from it. The discard theme is more so to play psychological games with our opponents. So for this, I only picked the best of the discard cards. I made an exception for Overwhelming Forces from my typical removal choices because I find myself in situations where 1 player is the obvious threat and I'm 2nd place, so I dont really wish to erase my board so that the whole table is equal.

Its a pretty greedy card but I think playing EDH requires a certain amount of greed in order to pull through certain games of (high powered) casual.

Contamination and Infernal Darkness probably would be great picks to make the deck more competitive. However I believe those cards would make my friends and other players hate this deck combined with the already high-salt theme of discard haha.

I picked Spellbook over Thought Vessel because during play testing, I discovered this deck does not really care about ramp in the early game. We much rather play a creature on T2 rather than a mana rock. So I believe in this deck, the efficiency of Spellbook overshadows Thought Vessel's ramp.

I don't like playing with Necropotence as that dwells into hard cEDH territory and draws in tons of hate. Although I like the suggestion of Alhammarret's Archive.

Rings of Brighthearth seems cool but this may be more of a win-more/greedy card for the deck. But I'll keep it in mind.

I dont view Overwhelming Forces as a boardwipe but as a high priced removal spell. There's already 3 other cards that boardwipe in Damnation, The Meathook Massacre, and Portal to Phyrexia. With the high card draw of the deck, we're likely to have 1 of them if we find ourselves in that sticky situation. However since this deck has access to so many mana doublers, its not unlikely for us to have the to throw around so is quite playable in comparison to other deck-types. It doesnt destroy our board like how Decree of Pain does, so we keep momentum while crippling the best opposing boardstate.

Return to Dust is more expensive but work better than Disenchant in some cases. Any white deck which is not green might want to play Land Tax or Smothering Tithe Some good card draw card which you are missing out on is Phyrexian Arena

Some very good white removals are Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares and Generous Gift since it can target anything. Vindicate is good aswell but just sorcery speed.

And since you are not playing that many creatures myb include smth like Damnation, Decree of Pain, Plague Wind, Overwhelming Forces, Wrath of God

And that's just me, but i like to throw in a Mana Tithe just to catch some people of gurad, they dont expect a counterspell from a white/black deck.

Any suggestions?

crazyhands911 on Deck & Card Pricing Calculations

5 years ago

I was wondering how the site calculates the deck prices and pulls the card prices. They now have a TCG price range, which can sometimes be rather large on a deck. I recently went thru and properly labeled 2 decks Prossh and Olivia BR Vampires with correct set identifies and added condition tags as well, hoping this would better calculate the costs.

The bottom of the range didn't change, only the top dropped down. I knew I had a Overwhelming Forces that has a $30 price difference between the promo version and the actual card. I have the promo, so I would have expected a larger change to the deck price when I added the set. The card still shows the higher priced version if you hover over the card, despite having proper identifiers, but if you sort the deck by price, it just shows up as unknown, so that is confusing.

If no set is identified, how is the deck being priced, and what are the assumptions for the bottom vs the top of the price ranges? I am trying to decide if it is worth my time to go through and properly identify my cards in my decks, and furthermore, all of the other cards in my collection, that I have setup in extra prototype decks.
