For those who didn't catch it:

Duel Commander is finished. The last good remotely popular (singleton) format with a reasonable banlist and no politics BS: gone.

What the fuck are these people actually smoking. As if WOTC wasn't doing enough damage to the game.

Its 1v1 commander.

It's 1v1 commander with no politics BS and a sensible banlist. Same deckbuilding rules. Similar to Historic Brawl on arena which is shit because it allows gamewarping cards like TOR.

You got it wrong, in fact. Elder Dragon Highlander (which you mistakenly refer to as Commander) is already ruined.

Didn't know that existed. I've just always had an EDH deck I designed to play against one other player. I never knew it was a separate format. Since when? Like I'm going to change my deck because of some WotC BS.

>>97642424
>Elder Dragon Highlander (which you mistakenly refer to as Commander)
There is no such format as Elder Dragon Highlander and never has been.

>>97642433
Cope and seethe. Duel Commander was your last hope for a color limited Commander-centric singleton format. You are not technically a human being, therefore you are not capable of understanding the truth. Sad.
>>97642437
>Didn't know that existed
It's not an official WOTC format. It bans cards like Maddening Hex which are designed to be balanced around multiplayer games but become utterly broken in 1v1. While in EDH (commander) you have cards like Rhystic Study which are not incredibly good in 1v1 like in Multiplayer.
>>97642438
Yes, there is (and was). We know this because this why you take 21 "commander damage" to lose in the game that you today call Commander, because all the original Elder Dragons you used as your "commander" all had 7 power, for an even 3 hits to win.

>>97642449

And again you use the word "tranny" to distract yourself from the fact that you are not a human with relevant opinions, but an NPC. Luckily you're in good company, there are hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of you and you did a great job ruining Elder Dragon Highlander already.

You almost certainly own WOTC cardboard. You are pathetic.

I find I can only really have fun at my LGS if I'm running an answer-heavy/controll-y deck. Otherwise someone with an answerless value pile will just pop off and kill everyone.

Anyone got any unconventional control commanders?

So I decided to dust off an old forgotten habbit of mine and went out of my way to start building a tribal deck. I figured there might be some interesting support cards I could play. And yet, to my absolute dismay, I realize that the only actual good tribal card that exists in the game is this fucking thing.

Its like... why? Why in all the years of magic is it so hard to print generic tribal support that this card is the only thing I'm actually happy to put in my deck. It fucking baffles me.

No I don't care about the 10th fucking tribal emblem effect. Hell, even 3tree city is better for token spam. Lorwynn came and went and it barely nothing among it actually makes playing tribal any more viable.

When I talk about generic tribal support I am talking specifically about colorless cards. And I already mentioned 3tree city. The only one I'll give you is urza's incubator but that is sign of the problem that we still have nothing better than that, or even a sidegrade.

It has no special interaction with explore. Artifacts are lands on the field. It's not a Mycosynth Lattice where all cards you OWN are artifacts. And you should only play the pizzas if you have no shame. I have shame and will not be playing them despite Cryogen Relic being my favorite common.

I just sleeved up and test my janky Progenitus deck, that has every single exalted card in it. It's bad bros. I realized that exalted is useless without some kind of evasion or else you're attacking for 50 but getting chump blocked. I'm already seriously low on card draw, interaction and ramp, so not sure what to do. I also through in every single liege card for shits and giggles. Getting Proggy out is GG though, but I only have one mana doubler in it now. Might have to go that route. Who knows. It will never brak into bracket three.l

Exalted is an awful mechanic. Not in theory, but it pales in comparison to +1/+1 counters since it requires a giant janky board state.

>>97643189
I don't care. I just like the concept of one creature just doing massive damage. It's a cheap 5 color deck I'm putting together with extra cards. Thankfully the few missing exalted cards I needed were dirt cheap. I just want to get it at least working some of the time so I need to get it cooking.

They looked at how mildly successful is Yu-gi-oh! Genesys format and decided to copy it's design elements, except shoehorned into commander and with complete ignorance towards the fact that MTG has more cards and confusing edge cases.

This will implode and die after few weeks.

>>97643152
Progenitus needs an ungodly amount of ramp to work. Whatever you think is enough probably isn't. It is one of the slowest voltrons in the whole game.

>>97643328
progenitus also sucks as a voltron general because 21 commander damage means without any buffs you have to swing *three* times to kill a player in which case you might as well just add him in the 99 for him to kill a player in four hits, assuming you add him at all

Oh okay. I never got to continue my conversation with him. Guess he doesn't really play and is just here to argue about abstracts with smug remarks and reaction images
Many such cases

>>97644925
Even better have your opponent cut the deck so if you get a good card it's their fault

I still can't believe there isn't a good, solid PvE mode for commander. People love co-op friendslop, and the intrinsic problem with the format is player bitching.

Shit, we talking about alternative commander formats?
>tfw no one gives a fuck about 60-card singleton
I'd really like to see something like it because there's enough redundancy to have focused gameplans for a ton of archetypes but there'd still be enough variance to make games fresh. Lower life totals and more streamlined decks just sounds like a more ideal way to play the game to me.

Nice """format"""

I made a singleton sliver 60card deck and it's honestly refreshing playing games where it's not "first to get lucky and draw their wincon wins"

>>97644326
>Cant see my hand.
Well since the card says you play with your hand revealed and you didn't counter or remove I guess you concede. Thanks for the win ig

>>97645090
make a like 60 card deck that's strongly themed and play Xv1 against it, it just plays the top card of its deck every turn, maybe an extra 1 for every few players. roll for targets, rotate the player who controls its targeting, or just have the players consensus whatever the target is.
or just play sentinels of the multiverse

>>97645312
Oh look a dumbass who said something dumb. I played the card.

>>97645263
Agreed. I can't think of any archetype in EDH that doesn't function at all in 60-card aside from the most durdly of nonsense. The more aggressive cutting process also really helps me hone in the essence of the deck I want to build as well.

I think they would get sick of me making obligatory Megamund quotes

>The more aggressive cutting process also really helps me hone in the essence of the deck
Agreed, the deck I made is literally just 36 1-2c slivers across all 5 colors and 4x Lifecrafter's Bestiary for card draw. None of the 5c ones just the basics with 4x Secluded Courtyard and 4x Unclaimed Territory for easier mana colors. It's quite fun

That's actually great news and whining bitches like you should shut the fuck up and move on to 60 card formats.

>>97642400
So basically you make a cedh deck but you make the general the worst possible one in the colors you want, awesome idea

??? am I missing something

>>97645746
Well yeah if your commander is dogshit you get more pointed cards to make up for your deck's inherent weakness. What part of this do you not understand?

>>97642400
I'm not inherently against it but I do have to wonder the provenance of "aeon shift." Duel Commander tells you exactly what's going on, aeon shift suggests some sort of premodern type format.

Ive ordered this for my sea monster deck. looks pretty fun desu

>>97645818
I read the ability before first strike and almost had a brain meltdown wondering how the FUCK it comes in attacking after attacking is done. I need a fucking nap

>>97645818
Wait, what? It puts an attacking creature on the battlefield during the damage step and after blockers? Damage doesn't use the stack and all damage resolution happens at once so how does this even work? What happens if you put another creature with first strike onto the battlefield? Does it miss the timing for dealing damage that turn?

>>97645839
this guy >>97645838 explains it.

first time I saw it, I also thought that either I or the card designer had to be retarded.

but first strike solves this issue. bonus fun fact: the creature you put into play through his ability cannot be blocked

Whoa I made a Progenitus exalted deck years ago, also with all the lieges. Crazy how I find someone else using this idea. Pic rel is a fucking BOMB in the deck cuz I'll kill two people in one turn when Prog drops.
>I realized that exalted is useless without some kind of evasion
Yes, no duh. If you're trying to make genuine progress in your gameplan with anything else other than Progenitus himself you're doing it wrong. Might as well include a bunch of Shadow/Horsemanship creatures if you wanna attack with other stuff

>>97643028
I've played this game longer than you've known what it is.

>>97643066
Gate keeping on the front line requires compromise

>>97645839
oh wait I hadnt fully read your post. I guess if you put another creature onto the battlefield with first strike it would ignore that ? since the first strike phase is already over when that creature would enter

I've noticed a rise in these types of comments, tied to the amount of slop comments and cedh posting. Do cedh players really just go 'I'm gonna try my hardest to win' every game?

I've got so much meme shit that these competitive players get so ass mad when I cast pic rel on their force of will, draw 5, and they sit there just 'WHY THE FUCK DO YOU RUN THAT? GOD ITS SO STUPID.' then rants the rest of the game how only bad players run these kinds of cards while I mockingly talk about my overwhelming intellect
>>97645839
first strike. There are other interesting interactions with it entering attacking as well.

lmao, I wish I could cast that, but this pic rel

>>97645902
>702.7c Giving first strike to a creature without it after combat damage has already been dealt in the first combat damage step won’t preclude that creature from assigning combat damage in the second combat damage step. Removing first strike from a creature after it has already dealt combat damage in the first combat damage step won’t allow it to also assign combat damage in the second combat damage step (unless the creature has double strike).
Yeah, it just deals normal combat damage. The only thing it would mess up is double-strike because the first damage phase has already passed.
Which also means giving that thing double-strike will cause funny interactions as well.

Closed formats is the future of mtg, and the failure of pioneer and the uptick of premodern proves this
There's no need to expand eternal beyond vintage and legacy and while nobody likes "rotating" at first glance the truth is the average tournament grinder would be lucky to be playing for around 10 years before finally quitting the grind for good
