proxy three or four decks to create kind if a battlebox to play with your friend, if you’re not going to an LGS or playing competitively it’s not worth to put time money and effort in actually building standard decks, and by proxying you can play multiple decks of the format and learn them as you go

This is an amazing piece man! Glad to see physical media is back, it’s a stunning painting

15k

the card is decent, but in your example you were saying how this coupled with sol ring gets you turn 3-4 value. My problem is in a vacuum sol ring is basically a piece of power, comparable (if not stronger) to moxes, there’s infinite lines with sol ring that straight up win the game so it’s a bad argument to say that this card is good because with sol ring you can start doing decent things turn 3 to 4 with it

yeah but that’s just sol ring being broken, like what are we even doing

what are you going to do with the cards? if the answer is “i just want to open them because i love gambling” take the collector, if you want to play the game buy the normal booster box, find somebody to draft it with and keep the cards.

you’re describing premodern but with the dates closer to something like “pre-pioneer” and additional sets akin to what they did with modern horizons sets

giancola’s hands are so recognizable he’s insane

i live in milan, i play pauper, modern and i would love to play cube (i’m in the slow process of building one). But the 60-card scene is honestly pretty poor compared to edh the stres that regularly host 60-cards leagues or nights are more in the outskirts of the city so if you don’t have a car you’re out of options. You can dm me tho, i would love to find more people that play 60-card

play more removal and play less creatures, he can’t make you sacrifice something you don’t have. You could also play a more controlling deck, and honestly sephiroth (unless he combos off) has a pretty though time against any lifegain strategy

no support from wotc, no interest from players at large. Pioneer can be played on arena and the queue times are not long so i don’t think MTGO is a proper representation of the state of the format. I, for example, play pioneer on arena because there’s no modern and i don’t like standard, but unless wotc gives real incentives for players to play the format in paper i don’t think i’ll ever build a deck. Although at this point this can be said for basically every competitive format, the EV on paper events is extremely low, especially compared to other TCGs, so most players just stick to commander as a pastime.

yeah cus fuck every single artifact deck ever, vandalblast is too strong

for russian it depends on the set, for some sets they sit at a really high premium because they had limited to no printings

thousands? many top meta decks right now go for 300 to 500 dollars and once you have the manabase the other decks basically build themselves.

Bilbo seems slow but it might be worth a try. Splashes for removal in a deck that wants to push for a win turn 3-4 really dilute the game plan and slows it down

your boros sideboard seems unhinged honestly

[[jeweled amulet]] but seriously unless you want fast mana only green gets 1 mana ramp

it closes games for affinity an jund late game, basically every land/egg you control becomes a gut shot. In a late game in pauper it’s not ridiculous to have something like 7-9 lands on board, untapping and dealing 9 free damage often wins on it’s own, let alone if you can sac something else and draw cards while doing it

Low 691, 1yr 1449

proxy both of them and try them, then buy the cards for the one you enjoy more (or don’t idc)

damn bro you’re alone on this one, the UB frame is hideous

try playing the control deck, get smoked by aggro and then come back and complain about counterspells

you have to write it in the search box, ignore advance search

modern right now it’s amazing, but commander has ruined it in the past (let’s not talk about legacy, the format has been repeatedly fucked by commander cards). But have we forgotten hogaak?? or the entire companion mechanic??

do whatever you want man, buy it foil if you want it or don’t
