/u/bboomslang on Dargo and Malcolm, Pirate Storm cEDH
Ya know, I love the options that Commander Legends opened – who would have thought a pirate storm build could be a viable cEDH deck before? I totally look forward to the silly brews coming out of this all.

Dargo and Malcolm, Pirate Storm cEDH
I think this might be at a point where i am not constantly brewing on it, and have reached a level of viability i think i could be happy with. As any list, this is a work in progress, so feel free to suggest any and all things! Without further a do, i present to you:
Dargo and Malcolm, a Pirate Storm cEDH list!
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ym2qaElL0kWicUPJ6aPQiA
Primer:
The goal is to storm out with Dargo by sacrificing Treasures to bring down his casting cost and then Dargo himself to Phyrexian Altar for the Red we need to cast him again.
To do this we need to get Phyrexian Altar out quick and along the way create treasures through Malcolm and our Izzet pirate package.
Outlets for Drago’s storm includes Brain Freeze and Grapeshot.
If for some reason this line is obstructed we can go for infinite damage with Lightning Rig Crew, Freed from the Real and Malcolm pinging the table down. Glint-Horn Bucaneer also goes infinite with Malcolm.
There is also the option of generating infinite treasures with Dockside and Cloudstone Curio, our outlet for this is Spectral Sailor or Glint-Horn Buccaneer
If all that fails we also run Underworld Breach, LED, Wheel shenanigans. Mostly the breach will recur our Altar, but sometimes it will be a brainfreeze win through LED and Wheel of Fortune
Ways to get at the Phyrexian Altar:
Gamble (although that’s a gamble)
Transmute Artifact
Goblin Engineer
Reshape
Drift of Phantasms
Ways to get at our storm outlets:
Gamble (although that’s a gamble)
Muddle the Mixture
Merchant Scroll
Mystical Tutor
Spellseeker
(Drift of Phantasms can get Freed from the Real in a pinch)
Examples of Intuition piles:
Goblin Engineer, Goblin Welder, Phyrexian Altar
Goblin Engineer, Goblin Welder, LED
Grapeshot, Brain Freeze, Freed from the Real
Grapeshot, Brain Freeze, Glint-Horn Buccaneer
Shout out to Janus for reminding me about cEDH staples, and to the Dargo Discord (https://discord.gg/eQF4dxuXEV) for usefull tips.

/u/bboomslang on Was Snoop Goblins just a flavor of the week kind of deck or is it still playable?
Nope, only Legacy and Vintage (and Commander – yum!)

yeah, the second part is what I got wrong, thought it would return from GY. But the your first part answers the question for the misread card, too, so thx 🙂

argh. I misread it as "from your graveyard to your hand". Silly me.

So since this sac’s as part of the cost, it will see itself in the GY when the activation goes on the stack? It can return itself? If yes, that would make it a repeatable cascade for 8 mana.
Edit: misread it as returning something from the GY to your hand, not the battlefield, my bad.

/u/bboomslang on What in the heckin’ frick do I do with [[Nicol Bolas, The Ravager]]?
I run a flicker deck that uses the creature side, but wants to use the other Planeswalker for the actual Wincon. It is a bit on the expensive side, but maybe you can get some inspirations from it. Essentially you try to get infinit mana and proliferate…

/u/bboomslang on Should things like Winter/Static Orb be banned?
dude, if you leave important parts out, don’t expect valid answers! if you build omnath abominations, fight through the stax and don’t complain. Suggest your Urza playing friend to also look at Mana Web, Tanglewire and others …

/u/bboomslang on Should things like Winter/Static Orb be banned?
In that case just tell him that those two orbs in casual play groups just plain suck. Usually people get the point. I myself often have “sideboards” in my casual decks that make them a little less casual, for those situations where I need that little bit more oomph. So maybe that’s a way for him to go, leaving them out most games, but bringing them in every now and then, when he had a bad streak or faces some abomination himself.

If your pal is playing Urza and Winter / Static Orb, have a sit down with them and have a serious talk, because Urza + Orbs tends to at least scratch cEDH terrain – it might just be plain too nasty for your table.
On the other hand, Omnath as a green commander has access to a lot of the very best artifact removal – even free ones, like Force of Vigor. So Omnath – even if it is the mono green one – is quite prepared to take on Urza, if it is a more casual build (but casual build and orbs don’t usually mesh that well).
So, yeah, have a sit down and talk sounds like the more correct approach, because playing a tuned Urza at a casual table is just pubstomping.

Hi, folks!
We’re back with another video essay. This one’s about Commander, proxies, and class. We hope you enjoy it and that it inspires some charitable and productive conversations here and among your playgroups. Thanks for your attention, and I hope you’re having a good day.
(And watch for that cEDH shoutout near the end of the video!)

/u/bboomslang on Would sydri galvanic genius be a viable cedh commander.
I just realized that in a bears in cars List she could be a cool commander – not cEDH, but with bears in cars being more of a meme Deck anyway, I would give it more leeway there 😉 – her ability can pseudo-crew vehicles and her way to remove 0 cmc ramp…

When the inevitable "we hear you" from MaRo comes, reject it!
This post is in response to the depravity of Secret Lair: Cancelled Zombie Television Show.
We all know what is next: Mark Rosewater doing the kowtow mea culpa dance wearing the shreds of his employer’s integrity.
I say, “reject it!” This product betrays customer confidence like few I can recall, and that is saying quite a bit. This is a company. They want to keep testing the market with progressively unscrupulous actions? Okay. But, as a consumer, don’t let your conscience and good will toward an individual cloud your better judgement.
This never should have happened. If one of WotC’s patented feedback polls went out asking: “What do you think of brand new, mechanically-unique, black-bordered cards printed exclusively into a Secret Lair?” It would have been met with universal disdain.
I don’t care it WotC “hears me” as they run me over with their garbage truck while making an illegal turn.
