So looks like I am building Elsha next. How could I ignore such a spicy list? It even plays my favorite card in LED!
/u/bboomslang on Magic History: Taking a look back at ‘Urza’s Legacy’
Aww, man, my favorite characters in MTG, Jhoira and Karn! I wish word would go back to story driven design. But then, I am playing cEDH, so I am used to utterly broken cards being played 😉

/u/bboomslang on Has anyone else been playing a bunch of Horde lately?
I from time to time pull out the original Theros block challenge decks – the Minotaur one is mostly a horde deck, the hydra and Xenagos ones are a bit more quirky. It works ok to get the feel of shuffling your cards and provides at least a little bit m…
Reply: 1 Player guild:: General:: Re: New games you have tried in this sad situation?
by TheGargoyle
Finally got Cloudspire to the table, went quite well – a bit on the fiddly side, but I can imagine to explore it more. And will definitely try to get more Too Many Bones in, but the only new there are the new expansions that came in. …
/u/bboomslang on The cEDH Manifesto
Dude, you call it “the cEDH manifesto” and post it in the cEDH subreddit. You get told that it isn’t cEDH. Maybe just take your homebrew format and energy to /r/EDH instead?
/u/bboomslang on The cEDH Manifesto
Hard pass. I LIKE to play with old bonkers cards. Banning based on price is dumb. This in no way is „the cEDH manifesto“ – it contradicts what cEDH is, and that is „playing to the max power within the restriction of EDH rules“. I might be fine with a „…
/u/bboomslang on Wth to do with Omen Machine?
Make Lavinia your commander, go full speed! Add Knowledge Pool as an additional – better even! – lock and lose all your friends!
/u/bboomslang on Biological Warfare, My Azorius Living Weapon/Germ deck
[[Concerted Effort]] could be good in this deck, because the power of your germs spread to all your creatures … (and big thumbs up on your deck idea)
Biological Warfare, My Azorius Living Weapon/Germ deck
Yes, this is basically a joke deck on the corona virus, but I also want to find a way to make it work.
Commander: [[Ephara, God of the Polis]]
No budget for the deck, but I’d prefer to keep individual cards below $20 each in most cases.
Currently wincons are Germ swarms, with a backup plan of [[Approach of the Second Sun]], or voltron in an emergency. I’m betting I need a few more anthems to keep my germs alive early.
Permanent flicker/blinks have been a little harder to find than creature, but I was hoping to avoid turning the equipment into creatures. Not totally excited for non-repeatable effects.
The card stealing can mostly be cut for better on theme cards, and copying cards can be reduced as needed too. Didn’t feel there were enough living weapons to produce enough germs.

/u/bboomslang on Does anyone else have a hard time spending money on mana bases?
No. I am right now in the process to get my full set of go Duals together. Lands are what helps you cast your spells. Buy them. They are good.
/u/bboomslang on What do you do that you feel shows true mastery of your deck?
Yep, you loop Muldrotha, Phantasmal Image, Lion’s Eye Diamond and Animate Dead to make infinit mana.
/u/bboomslang on What do you do that you feel shows true mastery of your deck?
That’s one important one in my Muldrotha deck, as the combo involves Phantasmal Image and Animated Dead and is based on one Muldrotha killing the other, so you can loop them from your graveyard. Get’s people by surprise quite often.
/u/bboomslang on What do you do that you feel shows true mastery of your deck?
Does top-decking Dramatic Reversal and Walking Ballista with Isochron Scepter in hand count as mastery? 😉 I mean, it’s better to be lucky than good, right?
A real answer would be to actually play according to the tempo dictated by active stax pieces and managing your ressources correctly, so that you still have the answers and options ready you need, when you need them. A big thing people do wrong is overextending into active stax, be it Back to Basics, Winter Orb, Narset or even just the Thalias. You need to know what your deck can cough up when you are working under restricted mana and restricted draws, so you need to make sure you can actually play your outs the turn you need them.
/u/bboomslang on How many EDH decks do you currently have? (100% completed) How would you rank them weakest to strongest?
- Kenrith Elfball (5c) – cEDH, infinite mana into Kenrith for the win
- Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain (UR) – cEDH, artifact combo, stax, storm
- Teshar, Ancestor’s Apostle (W) – fringe cEDH, artifact combo, graveyard loops
- Lavinia, Azorius Renegade (UW) – fringe cEDH, very hateful bears, prison lock
- Grenzo Doomsday (BR) – fringe cEDH, Doomsday suicide combo
- Emry, Lurker of the Loch (U) – high power, artifact combo
- Muldrotha the Gravetide (BUG) – high power, infinite mana into Jarad for the win
- The Locust God (UR) – high power, wheels into hasty insects
- Kykar Helm (WUR) – mid power, equipments and vehicles matter, Godo/Aurelia Helm combo
- Grenzo Goblins (BR) – mid power, Grenzo as a combo slot machine
- Syr Konrad (B) – mid power, self-mill into table drain
- Saheeli (UR) – mid power, hidden commander Brudiclad, lots of token synergies
- Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer (BUG) – low power, spiced up precon
- Sliver Overlord (5c) – low power, all slivers, actual slivers (no combo, only aggro slivers and a super budget 5c manabase)
- Slimefoot the Stoaway (GB) – low power, Pauper EDH deck, so all cards in the 99 are commons, aristocrat style and even a dumb infinite token combo in there
Those are the ones I can pull out directly without having to sort through cards and pull cards from other decks, at least if people are ok with small amounts of proxies on the higher end decks (because owning one of each duals should be enough with the price they run at).
Only real exception is deck 5 (Grenzo Doomsday), as that is just a hilariously dumb combo deck that really is far too risky to spend actual mana on, so it runs proxies for all the expensive cards (I do own them, though, so could pull it togehter, too).
/u/bboomslang on Let’s talk hybrid: What would you play?
oona in mono blue or mono black as a solid wincon for infinit mana when I am not running artifact hate. Or Ashiok as general GY and tutor hate in mono blue or mono black.

/u/bboomslang on MonoW now competitive. Where are the other missing combinations?
Hmm – RG with Grumgully, Goblin Bombardement and Skuzzback Marauders and tons of red/green stax and creature tutors? Janky as hell, though, I assume.

/u/bboomslang on Sheldon’s Thoughts on what could kill EDH as a format (EDHRECast Episode 100)
Yeah, that indeed is a bit of a conundrum, Thassa‘s Oracle in a mono blue deck is much harder to pull off than in a deck with black or green. Or Flash – not really that great in mono blue, but quite nasty if you add green (hulk) or white (flash rector)…
/u/bboomslang on Sheldon’s Thoughts on what could kill EDH as a format (EDHRECast Episode 100)
Because I like to play multiplayer and having a commander and starting at 40 life and all the other stuff that makes commander what it is. I just think the black-white view of a banlist is less optimal for a format trying to cater to many different sit…
