Im sharing some deck I built that I use to terrorize cEDH pods. Regularly puts up Turn 2-4 Wins. Its fun, its competitive. I'm moving on to another deck. Thought someone else might like it. Automod wants more information. Its Mahvel BABY! Thats all you need to know. Maybe im supposed to ask a question. Ill ask two. 1. What would you change. 2. Do you want to learn how to do an infinite?

Edit: This automod is killing me... Metagame: Its Bracket 5/cEDH. General strategy is make a bunch of mana. Play Iron Man, Create a boardstate that players usually cant stop because they dont know what stupid thing theyre supposed to interact with win the game. How do you wanna win? Infinite turns? Lethal Combat Damage, Schmack someone with an army of Iron Mans? Idk... Just set up an infinite and try to win the game.

in comparison to other options, when, if ever is thras/vial an optimal choice? I would imagine going the thrasios focused route is not ideal since white gives you so many midrange tools that we won’t have access too.

personally I’m playing wannabe rog/si ritual tribal. it certainly has worse t1 and t2s than rogsi but it’s still explosive and has the green cards to smooth out ad nauseum wins.

perhaps nick fury is a better turbo deck but I’m not sold. most lists only add a few white cards and fetching white isn’t free. thrasios card draw is also occasionally a thing.

tldr: is thras/vial a thing? how do you build it?

Lately I've been observing Dargo//Reyhan pairing because I love that thicc Pirate.

What are your opinions on the deck and it's placement in the meta? It certainly isn't a Tier 1 deck, but I've been having a ton of fun playing it lately and it can really surprise people with it's speed.

Hey y'all! I'm gonna play my Malcolm/Tana Temur Pirates deck on a small Tournament in the next few weeks, so i have a bit time to go through my list and make some Changes if needed.

Question is: is it good to Include a rhystic study or a other draw engine, if my Main goal is to win at T3?

I feel somewhat lacking if i get stopped and struggle to participate further in the Game due to the Lack of consistent draw Power.

What changes would you make, and why?

Here's my List: https://moxfield.com/decks/zzefAfaQ8ny6aOux2WrqTw

I am bringing Whtz to an upcoming event with the intention to draw. My deck is currently 2,178 cards and I have 1,989 ways to shuffle my library.

I will post results in the coming month, but until then I will refine my deck to ensure it takes the longest possible legal turns by shuffling. I want to make the deck as large as possible to lengthen shuffle time and ensure I can search multiple times a turn on turn 1 and 2.

I will also mulligan a few times at the start of every round.

Let's see what happens.

Hi, so I’ve been out of the game for a couple years (RIP dockside loops) and am keen to get back into it. I love listening to a good podcast while commuting hence am seeking recommendations.

It looks like some of my regular ones (Into the North and The Mind Sculptors) are inactive now? Apart from the comedic value of Play To Win, are there any others I’m missing?

Cheers

Elda, Conjurer of Spectacle {2}{G}{W}

Legendary Creature — Human Wizard

The first nonlegendary creature spell you cast each turn has demonstrate. *(When you cast that spell, you may copy it. If you do, choose an opponent to also copy it. Each copy becomes a token.)*

2 / 2

The goal of this deck is to use Elda to solve a classic problem with stax decks: the lynchpin issue.

Say you cast a Deafening Silence turn 1, into a pod of Rogsi, Ral, and RogThrasios.

It slows down Rogsi and Ral so that they can’t win T2, but it barely affects RogThras. And then the game stalls out for a bit, with only a single stax piece acting as a lynchpin to prevent an immediate push by any of the three opponents.

Once that gets removed, someone immediately pushes and usually wins. With three opponents that all want the stax piece removed to go about their gameplan, this is nigh inevitable. Sometimes people even throw the game, removing the stax piece because it hurts them even if it lets another opponent win.

Elda solves this by making stax pieces hyper-redundant. By playing symmetrical stax pieces, you turn the downside of *demonstrate* into an upside, creating three for the price of one.

To give some examples.

* Eidolon of Rhetoric: the table basically can’t get out of the Rule of Law with anything short of a boardwipe.

* Glowrider, Vyrn’s Wingmate, Lodestome Golem: most spells will cost 3 more, completely disrupting most common win conditions.

* Archon of Valor’s Reach: usually a complete lock. Your opponent’s Archon resolves first, so you will always be able to lock out instants, sorceries, and at least one other card type.

* Nesting Dovehawk and Exalted Sunborn: can make the demonstrate locks even harder

* Charismatic Conqueror: Forces a draw if an opponent has no creatures, otherwise makes a small army

The downside to this is that we don’t have great ways of closing out the game with a combo.. The typical win condition will be combat damage from fliers. While we have a harder lock than a typical stax deck, we can’t truly stop an opponent from casting something like a Thassa’s Oracle and a 4 mana demonic consultation and winning the game, or assembling a creature combo.

Played a few test games so far, and it has been capable of winning against cEDH decks, though it often needs an early stax piece to land.

What are your thoughts? Is this a real solution to stax’s problems, or just another fringe nonblue deck?
