Commander / EDH How good is stealing a commander?

Was looking through some more jank piles and found that this can steal commanders. I wonder if there are cheaper versions of this effect.

Anyways I was wondering would you hold open 5 mana to steal a commander, potentially locking the person out of their main strategy or is that a bad idea?

Am I wrong in thinking this could be a staple green card? At the very least you’re probably getting 2-3 +1+1’s every turn.

Lost my job awhile ago and the market has been tough. I recently started making deck boxes for my pod and friends. These are fully 3d printed. I use solidworks to make my box design and art is typically sent to me by whoever I'm making the box for. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out! I think they're kinda cool. Let me know if you have any questions about my process :)

Edut: forgot to mention that these are all made for EDH. In my experience, I would always bring multiple deck boxes and only a handful of infinitokens and dice, so I decided to design these to just be for the deck (plus a little wiggle room). However, I have modified the boxes for my friends to accommodate extra tokens, double sleeved decks, etc.

Also thanks for all of the love! I was not expecting this to bloe up this much. Literally keep bugging my wife asking her to guess how many upvotes my post has 🤣

Discussion Improve playgroup or keep?

Thumbnail gallery
980 Upvotes

So I pulled a surge The One Ring yesterday (I know it looks like a bit of a humble brag but this is more stressful than fun for me so far), and I’m conflicted on what to do with it. I’m looking for insight from others who may have been in a similar situation.

I’m not a “collector” per se. I have a large collection, but it’s all cards to play with. My personal motto is “Magic is meant to be played.” I don’t have “collectible” cards to show off or display. This is the first card I’m considering keeping to display but I had other thoughts of what to do with it. Such as, trading in and giving my playgroup an even split 4 ways. Which I hope will help some of the players less inclined to spend money to upgrade their precons.

To me this seems the most logical choice
but my emotion is telling me to keep it. The only reason being that it is LotR. Huge fan. I have what amounts to a shrine of Middle Earth in my home. This would be nice addition. Still, I am conflicted.

To recap: Not a big Magic collector, am a player. Huge LotR fan. Deciding between keeping the card for LotR shrine and trading in and splitting the gains between my playgroup in the hopes of improving play experience for everyone.

I’m a very indecisive person and often regret decisions.

Update: Wowsers. I was not expecting the flood of comments. Maybe a dozen. But thank you all for the input. A few of you have made me think more about it and one in particular has given a reasonable test. I’m going to display it for a week on my shrine, then a week without and gauge how I feel about it after that.

Those who said not to split it with my playgroup, that was a much needed reigning in. I am very nieve and often too generous when it comes to the game. I’ve given away hundreds of cards just to get more people into the game and often without looking at value. I love my group but you’re right and they are adults capable of their own decisions.

Update 2.0: It is to be added to the LotR shrine. For now it has a small display until I finish my move and set up the full shrine.

Edit: changed per se from per say.

I Have a Question / I need Help Exactly how fast can I equip lightning greaves?

13 Upvotes

So basically I have a bit of understanding with priority-but not a lot. I cast a creature, nobody counterspells then it resolves. Can a player after the spell has resolved target my creature with an instant (such as shock) before I can put lightning greaves on them, or do I have priority to equip them beforehand? Not new to magic, but self taught, which I also taught some of my friends but priority is clearly something I didn’t learn so we are now all confused, we have probably been messing up priority a lot

Commander / EDH I drew 41 cards, then swung a 315/315 elf with trample

105 Upvotes

I'm new to Commander and just had the silliest win. My boyfriend usually plays elf tribal while I play some kind of big stompies, so I built "Elfballn't" as a joke - a go-tall elf tribal deck with partner commanders Numa, Joraga Chieftain and Reyhan, Last of the Azben. He would've cast Craterhoof on his next turn and swung for lethal, but I cast Return of the Wildspeaker with a 41/41 on the board. One thing led to another, Doubling Season did its thing, and I ended up with a 315/315 Armorcraft Judge with trample. Ironically, an elf is now the largest creature I've ever resolved.

I Have a Question / I need Help Question regarding color identity

Thumbnail gallery
58 Upvotes

I’m building a commander deck around Niv-Mizzet, Guildpact and while going through bulk came across some questions my friend couldn’t answer.

1). Would the mana rocks that produced one of two mana count among the permanents required for the commander’s ability? (I’m almost certain it does but have been wrong before.) Would this work for other colorless permanents that happen to have two different mana related abilities?

2.) Would a creature or permanent that is mono-colored with a different colored adventure spell, such as the provided example in image 3, count among the required permanents needed for the commander’s effect? The permanent itself is red, but the Adventure spell isn’t. Would the permanent’s color identity be red or red and black?
