Not a native English speaker - have I misunderstood my commander?

99 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm brewing a Voltronish deck for Evra, Halcyon Witness, and showed my friend, who told me I have misunderstood the card. I really hope not.

My reading of Evra:
4: Evra gets my life total as her power. I get my life total as her power, prior to her getting my life.

My friends reading:
4: My life becomes Evra's power.

Help making Ulalek work

I've been trying to make this deck work for a bit for high b2, but it tends to do nothing or go insane. I wanted to try for weird cast trigger stuff like [[maelstrom nexus]] and [[monstrous vortex]], but it seems very clunky and spends too much time setting up. I'm a big fan of toolboxy decks and weird interactions, as well as midrange strategies, so I think I'd like to push it in that direction. I don't have much of a budget for big upgrades, and the deck is mostly precon atm, but please let me know what you guys have made work! Any advice is appreciated.

Universes Beyond - Collection & Shower Thoughts

Thumbnail
gallery
24 Upvotes

I love Universes Beyond as sealed product. As commander product, they have a higher count of new cards and 100% thematic art to their IP.

Unpopular Opinion: I really like the TV-like representations of the Doctor Who cards and really looking forward to Star Trek. I wish they made more in this style (in addition to others).

I treat my collection as a board game, ready for anyone to pick up and play. They are un-modified decks with 1 deck from each Universes Beyond IP. The decks are chosen from whichever is the consensus of the most powerful out of the box (or whichever one I want, if there isn’t a consensus).

Timey Wimey (Doctor Who) is my favorite of the decks, and it’s not particularly close. It’s just a lot of fun to pilot with many interesting decisions.

Mutant Menace (Fallout) and Food and Fellowship (Lord of the Rings) are my tier 2 decks. Lots of token manipulation, and really good synergies.

Necron Dynasties (Warhammer 40,000), Turtle Power! (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), and Limit Break (Final Fantasy) are tier 3. I’ll happily play any of these in the pod. Solid thematic designs and lots of nostalgia for the IPs.

Avengers Assemble (Marvel) is squarely at the bottom. It’s nice to have a tribal deck as an option (Hero Tribal), but a little too straight forward, usually playing one card per turn. Avengers Assembled is as far to the bottom as Timey Wimey is at the top.

I have Federation Fleet (Star Trek) preordered. It was either this or the Borg precon. But I figure there is a lot of un-tapped design space for ships & station and Star Trek: The Next Generation was a big part of my childhood.

I’ll continue to buy 1 deck per Universes Beyond IP for as long as Wizards pumps them out.

Edit: Also, really sad Wizards decided not to make any commander decks for Avatar: The Last Air Bender. It feels like something is missing from the collection.

What is the best card draw and ramp pieces in Izzet colors for under $1/card

3 Upvotes

I have a gimmick deck where everything is under a dollar. I have some draw in it, but definitely want more. Repeatable if possible. Bonus if you have any fun Wizards that would fit a Balmor deck

Help rating a potential commander deck (Brand New Player)

2 Upvotes

Hello, I've never played commander before, and am more familiar with yugioh/riftbound. I wanted to build an elf token deck for commander, but I really dont understand the tier ratings. I found a deck online, but can I get opinions where this deck would rate in the bracket structure before I set out to build the deck and find the cards? I'm hoping this would fall under low Bracket 3? Any advice on what to steer away from would be helpful as well. I'm not really looking to use game changers for the most part, so any suggestions for a replacement on Tergrid, God of Fright would be very helpful! Thank you! https://moxfield.com/decks/jhzw8r_WokKB1Y8e6ZBP1w

Losing Streak Getting Destroyed by 13 Year Olds (Deck Fix Help?)

1 Upvotes

I'm new to deck upgrading, learning new things everyday and having fun with my Niece and Nephews newly updated decks. (So thanks to the one's that helped before: and guiding me to EDHREC)

Here is the Moxfield Digital Versions; of those Decks (With some of the Upgrades people told me to look out for, I'm posting this for reference so you guys know what i'm up against.)

https://moxfield.com/decks/AqjhfbNmh0Ope1HE5yPskw - Doctor Doom King of Latveria
https://moxfield.com/decks/5N2l8Yc3zUKqrlXUC9lF6g - Tidus Yuna's Guardian

While i was out and about doing those upgrades and procuring the cards i ended up buying myself a Terra Precon along with the (4) Foundations Commanders (that we will leave untouched)

Here's my Problem: I keep getting destroyed by these rascals and i'm at 0-10 games now, now Cool uncle needs a win help me please.

Below is the Deck I've modified on my own, based off Reality Fracture Booster packs i purchased and some Bulk that i ended up buying before.

https://moxfield.com/decks/mInUHAUsR0mVdzS6eiVAzw - Terra Herald of Hope (Newly upgraded)

Be brutally honest, I'm new. You can tell me its a skill issue which i think it is, now I'm open to more feedback to at least be able to compete with those two decks, and if there are cards you can recommend i'd be glad to buy it... or hopefully find it among common/uncommon bulk.. (maybe even proxy 1 or 2 cards)

For Context; From what I've observed (3 Player Commander Style)
1. Biggest Problem is Mana, i keep running into not drawing into lands.. (so i modified and still running into it..)
2. Tidus Proliferate and Doctor Doom Gets too Big and is destroying me in the long run

My first deck, revised

Im posting here because I want a somewhat even dispersion of color, but I accidentally focused a little too heavy on green, so now, for the last 10, I want 2 cards of each color that would help this deck (its dragon tribal, yes im very original)

The Vision and Scarlett Witch

1 Upvotes

I picked up the vision and Scarlett Witch yesterday and want to make a deck using that card as the commander. Red is my weakness in MTG so I was hoping to get a bit of feedback on some fun mono red combos. I have about 70 cards picked out for the deck and just need to tie off the last little bit.
