A Blog about the Commander (or EDH) format in Magic:The Gathering. Here We'll discuss new cards as they arrive, give deck tech on various possible Commanders, and otherwise discuss the mechanical and social metagame.

How did you go infinite with ugin's nexus and a cogworker? Ugin's nexus prevents any extra turns you would get from the legend rule.

Mother of God @stonednullibiety Prototype Portal is back boys

In my defense… how have I not been alerted of this until now??? Time to go commit seppuku.

Thanks anon I appreciate the heads up.

And this isn’t actually too big a change, I won’t even take out the Assembler as it goes infinite with other interactions and is always a good mana sink. Prototype Portal can replace Relic of Brogenitus

shit, i thought it was “an opponent” not a “a player” on the extra turn prevention

Yeah me too man that’s some Berenstien Bears shit

I thought the same as anon, but I assume there was a sac outlet or something else involved? Couldn’t you sac the tokens to get the same effect?

So with Slobad on the field I can sac the token even without the legend rule forcing me to sac either the hard copy or the token, but unfortunately the remaining Nexus has that line of text that prevents me from taking an extra turn. So even when the trigger goes on the stack, I skip the turn the dying copy creates.

Prototype Portal on the other hand lets me go infinite with a sac outlet.

I’m ditching Vial Smasher. I’ll liquidate the deck and use the funds to grab some cards I want for other decks; Jori only needs one card to be fully foiled and then after that the Mystic Confluence is only 30 now in foil. Surrak wants a handful of cards the most expensive of which is 20 bucks (🅱️atterskull). It’s just a deck I don’t enjoy and I don’t need as many decks as I currently have.

If I can flip Vial Smasher into finishing Surrak I’ll be pleased, and if I can’t do that but can pick up the last Jori Foil I’ll be pleased too.

Well put.

Or my greedy ass can save the manabase for my dream of playing Grenzo

I got a 99/100 on my final essay in my critical writing class and I emailed the professor asking what I missed a point on and she literally asked me if I wanted to have her re-grade it

No binch I’m an english major and want to know why I got docked one (1) percent on an essay that’s a full third of my final grade

I bet she just doesn’t give hundreds, my essay was phenomenal, best I’ve ever written.

Like honestly, its probably their pride or some other arbitrary reason. You submitted a perfect essay, but they were stubborn

The upsetting part was that she didn't even tell me, she basically just threatened to regrade it and we all know what that means

Commander Report 6/9

Nice Played three best-of-three matches with my buddy @stonednullibiety. First up, Surrak vs. Blind Seer. He won the first game, sticking an Arcanis the Omnipotent and countering or otherwise negating every attempt to remove it; I think he psuedo-countered all four of my attempts to kill it with Nature's Way. I scooped to sheer card advantage. The second game I just ran him over, he got mana flooded. Third game I got mana screwed but he ran out of gas and I stuck Surrak, Polukronos, and Pathbreaker Ibex and won that way. Watching a mono-blue deck resolve Gauntlet/Caged Sun is disheartening at best. Next was my Slobad vs. his Shirei. I won the first game around turn 5 by tutoring for and resolving a Paradox Engine and from there finding a way to continuously go psuedo-infinite enough to tap/untap my Staff of Nin for his remaining 30 life. Game two was literally turn three Ugin's Nexus and turn four Cogwork Assembler for infinite turns. The big game was Jori vs. Shirei in which his turn one was a bullshit Swamp/Sol Ring/Mind Stone that led quickly into Karn. Nothing I could do. Game two I managed to stay on top of Shirei, and just tempo it out to a win with a very large Chasm Skulker alpha strike. MVP of the day... probably... Izzet Charm, countering an Ugin that would have wiped my board for all it was worth.
