Sol Ring is in evry commander product. That would've created a logicstical issue. And it seems they think that Sol Ring on its own is ok, but when it gets more redundant it becomes a problem. Also, I think manacrypt is a stronger card by the virtue of it costing nothing and allowing you to get whole 3 mana(1 of which is colored) on your first turn, while continuing to persist later, unlike dadrk ritual, for example.
Outside of niche shit like having to pay more mana for Transmute Artifact or specifically needing a CMC 1 target, Mox Sol Ring that Bolts you every other upkeep is better than Sol Ring.
BE KIND AND STAY SAFE
This is honestly twofold in how weird it is to me. Players can still be involved if its a friendly game by trying to ally to someone to make them kill whoever killed them via BSing and ghostpoliticing and they can also see what they need to avoid in future games to potentially win. OR they can just sit on their phone for a hour, which they were probably doing anyways because the fucking blue player has a full grip and the white/red player decided to blow up their lands. Doing nothing in commander isn't """fun""" but it doesn't change the outcome of most commander games (them not being the winner), and if they cant be having fun while they (the hypothetical cEDH tranny we all love to yell at) aren't playing then maybe their playgroup (a bunch of other hypothetical sweaty tryhard cEDH trannies we also love to yell at) fucking sucks. Be a gigachad and learn to love playing shitty magic decks that are shitty rube goldberg nothing burgers or MAKE YOU LOSE THE GAME, or put another way: Kill yourself, but in Magic the Gathering.
The big thing for me is that even if you get
But I don't wanna learn. I want to jam a scepter and imprint dramatic reversal on it as soon as possible with nobody interrrupting me.
My core group and I play high powered decks to do dumb shit. At the end of our last game from a winning position, I found like a six card line to establish three Skirk Fire Marshal activations to kill us all at the same time.
Wizards doesn’t want you to know this, but this is peak MTG gameplay
Winning with Plan A that you have won with before and knew about building the deck..a C- Feeling, its okay.
Even better when you are a Theft Deck Enjoyer and combo off with other people's pieces. I was playing Tasha when everyone was going wide once and made someone mill over a Ezuri's Predation when I had Altar of the Brood out and cast it and made 2 people mill out on the spot and then sent the beasts at the third for the win.
we kicked around a few ideas on the thread
Or you find a way to make Gonti go Infinite and steal everyone's decks.
You can just steal somebodys exsanguinate being cast with Narset's Reversal. Funniest shit ever.
Depends on the precon. A good precon is extendable. My main EDH deck is a Anje precon I've souped out with staples and draft cards from limited. As for winning with them, depends on if you are playing with a casual group or cedh. Casual you might have a shot, but you are gonna have an issue playing against a $300 Yawgmoth deck.
Most of the precons these days are fine out of the box, and some - like the Baldur's Gate ones, or the black-red one in Duskmourn - are actually very good. They tend to be light on mana acceleration and quality card drawing or library manipulation spells, and the three-color ones generally don't have enough good color fixing, but you can fix most of those problems on a pretty tight budget if you want.
What about using SkullCrack just to cuck the person casting Exanguinate?
Unless your card portfolio stretches all the way back, I'd recommend strating from a precon as a base. Just look up decklists, check some reviews and choose a better one, or the one you like. You'll get a bunch of essential commander things, like sol ring, commander tower, other manarocks, mid-level staples for the colors, which they don't print in standart, etc. Also, I suggest not going over three colors.
Not going to matter. If someone casts it, it's usually for enough damage.
