/u/bboomslang on RC discussion about cEDH.
Yep, especially in the light of two actual RC members (unlike Shivam, who is only CAG) being highest ranked judges, of course they put competitive as equal to tournament. It only makes sense for them. And to be fair, tournaments are brought up in discu…

/u/bboomslang on Power Level Wednesday!: Ask r/EDH what’s your deck’s power level? – April 22, 2020
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/nicol-bolas-jank-lord/
Commander: [[Nicol Bolas, the Ravager]]
It is a mostly standard Grixis shell taken from competetive grixis lists that run top-heavy spells (like grixis turns lists). It wants to win with [[Nicol Bolas, Dragon God]]’s ultimate. It utilizes infinit mana combos, preferably [[Barrin, Master Wizard]] and [[Dockside Extortionist]], or [[Ghostly Flicker]] and Dockside. It utilizes the infinit mana to dig into the deck via spells like [[Illusionist’s Stratagem]] or our commander to find the missing pieces. Best case scenario is to go for [[Planar Bridge]], tutor mutiple times for the Bolas planeswalkers, nuke opponents boards with [[Nicol Bolas, God-Pharao]] and ultimate the Dragon God for the win.
It clearly is jank, but what tier of jank?
The shells, as said, is oriented along the lines of other efficient grixis shells, which is the reason for expensive rocks and the probably weird looking mana base with only 31 lands (for cedh, that’s more on the higher number).
So marrying a competetive shell with a janky wincon – what does that make? 🙂
/u/bboomslang on OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERY VORTHOS PLAYER HERE
Jhoira and Teferi fit in nicely into the story, to, both being students at that time and being directly involved, Jhoira even being friends with K’rrik for some time.
/u/bboomslang on Flash Ban Megathread
yes, I totally agree, but I just doubt that WOTC or Hasbro actually invest there. And I especially doubt someone from the RC invests there instead of just giving numbers they grabbed from thin air.
So I am not rejecting the fact that it can be done, I just doubt the assumption that it actually is done in any way relevant to distinguish casual vs competetive EDH.
They totally have data driven decisions for other formats and the health of other formats that are tournament result based. They have a wealth of data there from MTGO, Arena and paper event results. It’s just not there for cEDH vs casual EDH and I strongly doubt they invest there just to clarify how big the cEDH movement is 😉
/u/bboomslang on Flash Ban Megathread
Or you can just pull the numbers out of your ass, which is faster and cheaper to do and hell, who cares, right? I personally never seen and played in an actual casual game of EDH. Whenever I read stuff Shivam writes about casual EDH, I am totally "…
/u/bboomslang on Is there any reason to use products like the Quiver or the Superhive other than to reduce wear on deckboxes?
I got me the Quiver when I went to MF Bologna, because I thought it is easier to carry than a backpack. I also have the Ultimate Guard Ammonite Backpack now, but actually I prefer the Quiver if I just want to have a selection of decks on me. It’s easy to carry, doesn’t take up lots of space and is not as bulky as the Ammonite. Grabbing decks without rummaging through the backpack blind is nice 😉 – and it forces me to be selective, because it only holds 5 EDH decks.
And come on, you have to agree, that thing has style 😉
/u/bboomslang on Jeskai sac options of Academy Rector?
Flash Godo and Grab Helm is a Good Plan B of you run Flash anyway 😉
/u/bboomslang on [IKO] Kinnan

/u/bboomslang on Fork the red counterspell
It is ok, but usually the third or fourth pick after Red Elementa Blast and Pyroblast (and maybe Guttural Response or Burnout).
/u/bboomslang on [IKO] Jegantha, the Wellspring (cardmarket spoiler)
yeah, that’s why I think freed from the real and intruder alarm are best for this.
/u/bboomslang on [IKO] Jegantha, the Wellspring (cardmarket spoiler)
[[underworld coinsmith]] if your life total is higher than everyone’s.
/u/bboomslang on [IKO] Jegantha, the Wellspring (cardmarket spoiler)
Goes infinit with Freed from the Real if your deck can support the companion restriction, or provides infinit WBRG right away with just it and an untapper when you run it in your command zone.
/u/bboomslang on Finally made the deckbox I’ve always wanted
Super sweet! 3D printed parts? Did you use bronze fill, or just paint it?

/u/bboomslang on What power level has produced the most fun games for you?
Another one with „cEDH is best“ experience. We don’t play full cEDH decks all the time, but just adopting the mindset has done wonders, far less salt that way. You try to win, so that card was fair. We still play casual as heck decks from time to time …
/u/bboomslang on A Girl and her Bird… Shark?
Yeah, I kinda see it as Gitfrog in Jeskai – easier to cast even. You sculpt and try to get to the discard combo, as that will be damn hard to interact with. I really think this could have potential, especially with her low color pips. Easy to get her o…
/u/bboomslang on [C20] Dismantling Wave – White mass artifact and enchantment removal
Yep, this is a way to break through a Lavinia + knowledge pool lock – you just remove the knowledge pool (or it‘s red buddy possibility storm or whatsitcalled) when wiping the board of artifacts and enchantments. And it still is decent outside the cycl…

/u/bboomslang on Deflecting Swat, new red staple?
Yeah, I think Godo and Grenzo (of Doomsday fame) can really play this easily and it will help – both are low on solid stack interaction and both want to have their commanders put.
/u/bboomslang on Emergency Ban Discussion – cEDH Cast
Yeah, but they say on the card – this doesn‘t. They just have some handwaving and invent a non-existing zone.
