Magic the Gathering
« on: November 19, 2017, 08:52:46 pm »
Noticed there was no thread for Magic. Anyone play? What formats? What medium (irl, Online, Duels/Arena)?

I got into it recently, met some cool people at my college as a result. I'm trying to get into Standard as it's relatively cheap and I can avoid insane combos, but I'm keeping my eye out for good EDH/Commander cards when I can get them for cheap.

^ I know it'd probably be better as Dimir (black+blue) but I like the options red gives. Previously was considering Skysovereign, Combustible Gearhulk, and The Scarab God but they're probably too costly for how good they'd be. Might add TSG if I swap to Dimir though (and if it'd work well, if the price drops, etc.), but I'd rather draw a Sailor of Means to play for free off of Yahenni's Expertise than a Scarab God that can pay, what, 4-5 mana to get back a 4/4 Sailor of Means, which is super slow. I was considering him because of Captain Lannery Storm anyway since a 4/4 with Haste that make treasures and can sac them for burst damage is neat, but too unreliable. Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh is only in because he's swole, and Saheeli Rai is in because she's quick to get out and helps you Scry and get those precious chip damages in (5 treasures is surprisingly more difficult to get than 4 with the current iteration of the deck). Will probably build if it's somewhat competitive, heard something similar did well against Energy decks and Ramunap in a specific instance, which is great since those decks seem boring to me.

EDH/Commander decks I want to build:
 - Some janky 5 color shit - I already have a City of Brass and a Chromatic Lantern so it'll eventually happen
 - Izzet Niv-Mizzet Infinite Combos - Firemind + Curiosity or Ophidian Eye insta-wins, but works with Locust God; wizard and cycling subtheme
not a full list but you can get the idea
Commander: Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind
The Locust God
Psychosis Crawler (not infinite but similar)
Curiosity
Ophidian Eye
Arcanis the Omnipotent
Arjun, the Shifting Flame
Azami, Lady of Scrolls
Baral, Chielf of Compliance
Goblin Electromancer
Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur
Jori En, Ruin Diver
Keranos, God of Storms
Melek, Izzet Paragon
Nivix Guildmage
Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir
Whirlpool Warrior
Firemind's Foresight
Turn and Burn
Day's Undoing
Time Reversal
Windfall
Teferi's Puzzle Box
Thought Vessel
Curse of Verbosity
Fevered Visions
Rhystic Study

I might throw shit like a Sphinx's Tutelage or Jace's Erasure just to fuck around, I already plan on including a Laboratory Maniac so
