I mean Kalemne isn't the worst if you build it half competently

@Lilbrudder Earlier in the thread Leinahtan did something similar (comment #99) as a FAQ outline, and that could be expanded on to include every tier 1 or 2 general. It's a lot of work, but a quick blurb about all of the top commanders would be quite useful and would save us having to repeat ourselves after every comment reset.

@thegigibeast, any word on when you plan to move Tazri and Leovold up to Tier 1?

September 3, 2016 11:09 p.m.

thegigibeast says... #7

Yup I mean, I guess it would be possible now ;p

I was considering it in the future update, and since I am online right now, why not doing it?!?

The only thing I will be missing will be the decklist for Leovold, I saw a couple ones around but I don't remember which one was stated as the most optimized one. I know it shoulkd be somewhere in the comments and I will look for it, if anybody can be faster than me it would be great ;)

So, um, prossh just got broken by kaladesh. (Not prossh specifically but just the deck itself)

Uh, you mean MTG got broken? ETB effects in general got broken? This makes every the weakest ETB effect become broken... Damn wizards Y U KEEP PRINTING STUPID ARTIFACTS HAVE U NOT LEARNED?

Actually, I am pretty happy this has been spoiled, it will make some decks way stronger than what they actually are.

Sweet Jesus and it's a 4 drop?

Ohthenoises says... #12

Um, guys

guys.....

Purphoros, God of the Forge

10 creatures etbing after purph and this = lethal

OH MY GOD! (no pun intended...)

This will break Purphoros, God of the Forge in half. I was actually working on an artifact version of the deck, simply to see if it was better than the one we have listed here as the tier two deck, and I think this artifact will make the deck better than what it actually his, letting us burn everyone twice as fast. 4 damage to everyone for each creature entering the battlefield? Wow, this will be amazing. Totally hyped for Kaladesh right now.

HarroHunter says... #14

So does this move any decks up a tier?

September 3, 2016 11:47 p.m.

Ohthenoises says... #15

Wondering if it would be right to do an all in with that 4x theme and add Furnace of Rath

September 3, 2016 11:49 p.m.

Ohthenoises says... #16

Another thought, daretti and Feldon have a new wincon.

This new artifact + Purph + Battlesphere = each opponent at 4 life

There's the Brewsday List Made by the cEDH sSubreddit. It's not perfect -- Jace's Archivist and Anvil of Bogardan are missing -- but it's a solid start.

Ugh, hermit Druid.

Never been a fan with all of that nonbasic land hate out there. Blood moon, back to basics, etc.

Wouldn't Doomsday be a better route?

September 4, 2016 12:14 a.m.

NarejED says... #19

Based on everything I've heard, HD actually has a slight edge as a finisher for Leovold. Doomsday is a solid route for him as well though.

Lilbrudder says... #20

Honestly even the version of the Hermit Druid combo is kind of meh. Narcomoeba, Fatestitcher, and Dread Return are simply horrible outside a reanimator shell. I feel like the deck would be much improved just going with Memory's Journey and Deep Analysis to make a mini Doomsday pile of Gitaxian Probe, Yawgmoth's Will, and Dark Ritual. Its a little more mana intensive (which doesn't matter when Leo wants to combo off) but it cuts at least 2 dead cards out of the deck.

Aztraeuz says... #21

I believe that's an auto include in Krenko, Mob Boss + Purphoros, God of the Forge decks. It also has tons of potential in Brago, King Eternal who is already listed as Tier 1.

That card is so good, I'm happy. I've felt that EDH hasn't gotten many good new toys in recent sets.

September 4, 2016 12:58 a.m.

Several questions. Why do people think smokestacks is so good outside of legacy? It isn't bad, but people treat it like an instant win, even though it is slow and is easily removed by everything sans black. Second, some guy is building nicol at my shop amd 30 cards are combo pieces it runs no removal and the ramp package is just sol ring and gem he spent 1.2k on this and not only thinks it is good, but that it is capable of consistant t4 wins. Why do people think this is what a combo deck is?

Smokestack is amazing because it can more or less create a resource lock and it only takes something like Bitterblossom to break it. It is the classic stax piece. Stax is named after it. The card is the pinnacle of asymmetrical resource denial and is an effect that isn't really able to be duplicated. The slowness is also not a big deal because stax is literally the slowest archetype there is. I love the card and while it isn't really worthwhile in most prison lists (which seem the most common stax form floating around EDH), it is the crown jewel of true stax lists.

As for the Nicol Bolas guy, he's an idiot. Don't concern yourself with the ramblings of morons.

Please stop saying stax is named after smokestacks. And again im not saying it isnt good, but in edh it loses quite a bit of flair. Also the only "true stax list" is t4k$. But I guess the slowness of stax makes up for it, but a Couple commanders can outrace your soot output (however they are all t2)
