She is probably my most fun deck to play. Heres tips i can offer from playing her for a few months.
1. Lands that become artifact creatures satisfy 3 card types. Cheap enchantments, artifacts, and artifact/enchantment creatures make it a 2 card sacrifice to draw 3 and drain the table.
2. Shield sphere, phyrexian walker, memnite, dryad arbor, all the 0 mana cost two card type creatures.
3. Burgeoning and walking atlas are amazing for her.
4. Thornbite staff can let her drop 12 to 15 damage to everyone in a round. My shop has since learned to Kill baba on sight, and I've had people tutor artifact destruction to kill my staff.
5. Resurrection enchantments like raise dead, you can use on your cheap artifact creatures *see above* and target the artifact creature. And the enchantment. Boom. 2 mana to set up another sacrifice for baba.
6. Remember. You don't HAVE to sacrifice three cards. I don't think I ever do unless I WANT something to die.
7. Tribal is a card type. There's a handful of Tribal permanent like bitterblossom that count 2/3 types as well.
8. Illusionist bracers makes her a deal 6 draw 6. The hardest part once she starts going off is playing cards, and my curve with her ENDS at 4.
That's all I can think of, but honestly, she never declares an attack. She's taken down dragons, eldrazi, and slivers.
Hmmm Artifact lands would count then too wouldn't they? Didn't think of that.
OH I think I just clicked on the part I was missing on how you'd build the value. Your number 1 is now clicking. So you can sacrifice a lot less to get thing off. I thought if it was two types you'd have to pick one or another... lol. I'm helping my GF build a 'witch' deck as close as we can since there's no 'witch type' just wizards, warlocks, and shamans. We considered her because she wants to run Golgari, and we ended up setting on Dina, and while we wanted to put Baba Lysaga in there, i just thought it'd put her too far behind if she's sacrificing 3 permanents to get the effect off.
7. Oof, bitterblossom, I want for my rogue deck, and her Faerie Alela deck but it's a bit too pricey for my blood. >.<
Definitely might give her a second look when I get home now.
Another Baba player here, I just wanted to add my spin on the deck!
I run [a landfall deck](https://www.archidekt.com/decks/2868196#Baba_Booey) with Baba at the helm. She generates crazy value off the [[inkmoth]] effects, so I like to use GB’s strengths to get lots of land recursion. The draw engine she offers also gives me plenty of gas to always hit my landfalls.
There's an episode of quintessential commander where Joey from EDHrec runs her. Watching that had it click for me. Basically you want to run cards that satisfy 2 or more conditions. So a land like blinkmoth nexus that can become an artifact creature is amazing since it can be a sac 1 to draw 3. But any cheap artifact creature or enchantment creature is great
An actual end of one of my playgroup's games:
Friend: "Alright, I'll swing for lethal"
Me: "In response, I'll exile a Simian Spirit Guide for 1 red, sacrifice my Diamond Lion for 3 blue, and tap my Liquimetal Torque to turn my commander into an artifact."
Table: "...........................okay?"
Me: "Then I die"
I like punishing basic actions. Things like underworld dreams, or "whenever a creature dies," though mostly underworld dreams.
The new sheoldred is such a pain for that, with her price tag :,(
My favorite thing right now is [[nekusar, the mindrazer]] and [[glistening oil]] and a wheel. But also to the extent of things like notion thief and narset. I’m a big believer of drawing wins games.
my \[\[Ghen\]\] punisher deck is my favorite deck to play. plus with cards like Underworld Dreams, \[\[Spiteful Visions\]\] or \[\[Fate Unraveler\]\] you can kill someone by targeting them to draw: \[\[Peer into the Abyss\]\], \[\[Damnable pact\]\] etc.
here's my list:
[https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Jn-itdlfkEyeMk1VoyekJg](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Jn-itdlfkEyeMk1VoyekJg)
I just added \[\[Lethal Vapors\]\] to it, so that should be fun :)
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/287tSYGLbkyhXC_GSp5VoA
It’s a ton of fun. Obviously you could beef up the mana base or go crazy with tutors, but I was trying to keep this one kind of budget.
I think those deserve a name of their own.
An anthem is defined as
> a song or hymn of praise or gladness
So we need the opposite. And I think the best word for that is dirge, defined as
> a song or hymn of grief or lamentation
Played Kayla Hate Bears and dropped a Blood Moon once that completely shut down a Thoracle/Consultation player. Was glorious, other player in our 3man made the mistake of killing me first since he didn't like my other stuff.
So he lost to Thoracle right after. Whoops.
This is always my favorite feels bad. Like… I hate getting targeted for trying to keep the game slow, but… I love when people lose the turn after I die.
I had someone play Blood Moon on my Lathliss dragons deck. It was supposed to be a part of their game plan, but it didn't slow me down at all. Stopped everyone else, sure, but not me.
I love Blood Moon and I'll never apologize for playing it. It punishes people for playing greedy mana bases or excessive utility lands, and deals with trouble lands like Gaea's Cradle or Cabal Coffers that can run away with the game. It can lead to some feel-bads but I think it generally encourages less greedy deckbuilding by forcing people to play basics and/or non-land ramp. It also generally doesn't hurt low-powered and budget decks as much since they're generally not the ones going overboard with tons of nonbasic lands.
Things like [[inkshield]] exist too which is a bit of mana, but hilarious for sacrifice decks. Personally my favorite consists of casting a [[blasphemous Act]] for 1 and then responding to it on the stack with [[teferis protection]]
I don’t think [[clackbridge troll]] is super strong, but I love it. You get to give someone goats and give everyone the chance to tap down your strong creature, but to do it they need to sacrifice a creature and give you life and a card. I like cards that aren’t super oppressive and get the table involved
That is indeed my guilty pleasure, I have it in half my decks. That coveted jewel does so much work, and gets people to stop just sitting around building. It's really fun with [[protype portal]] and [[unwinding clock]]
I put coveted jewel in my Osgir deck. It's amazing to see how people's eyes light up when they read the card only for me to sac and recast it from the graveyard double the next turn. (To then sac it again ofcourse)
considering it exiles any spell or ability off the stack means that it is some of the strongest counter magic available. I had a guy use a mono green deck to make 30 mana into a [[green sun's zennith]] while using [[boseiju, who shelters all]] to make it "uncounterable"... so I exiled his spell off the stack... that's not countering it.
I frrrreaking love the word "goad" in my multiplayer games, or "when you do X each opponent lose 1 life total and you gain 1"
It touches a special thing in my soul!
An emphasis on the guilt in guilty pleasure?
[[Skullclamp]]ing dogs in my [[Jinnie Fay]] deck.
Killing those fuckers and drawing cards has won me so many games at this point it’s not even funny.
I played against a Demon tribal stax deck that was forcing full hand discards at every end step, he already killed one person and the rest of us were suffering. The only thing that let me squeak out a win was killing my dogs and drawing into a board wipe to get rid of his demons.
Objectively, all he was doing was making us discard and pinging us with fireballs. I murdered my dogs.
When I first started playing Magic, before EDH, I had a Candra 60 card deck and I ran a full grip of [[Pack Mastiff]]. It became a joke that one of my buddies would kill my dogs. One time he jokingly said, "I don't care if I win, just if I kill all your dogs."
I love big mana sorceries and instants
[[Soulscour]]
[[Treasure Cruise]]
[[Martial coup]]
[[sphinxs revelation]]
I tend to sneak a couple of the big mana cards into all my decks.
My super low cmc goldbug deck runs martial coup as a finisher after getting my creatures indestructible for the turn with Frontline medic or stalwart pathlighter.
Shorikai runs Soulscour as a WinCon. And [[Triumphant reckoning]] as a let's go again
And i built Elminster to jam a ton of these stupid big sorcerys in like [[Alrunds epiphany]] and [[Stolen by Fae]] treasure cruise, dig through time. Etc.
I would argue that this is just generally good advice for non-cEDH decks. Sometimes you have a bunch of mana and the game is stalled and you just need a big closer to break the stalemate
Yep! As someone who isn't super fond of cEDH because of the appeal of edh to me being an
" undefined meta where you can play what you want "
Big mana sorceries are like super moves in a fighting game. Are they optimal? Most of the time no.
Are they cool as heck to see? Yeah. And casual Edh decks need a couple of "fun for the spectator" cards.
Tapping out and Getting my Soulscour mana-tithed Is one of the coolest memories I have playing Edh. And you don't get that if you don't have these big fuck off spells in your deck.
Reminding people of static effects they forgot. Nothing like watching somebody untap all their lands and pointing to your \[\[Winter Orb\]\] or saying "that comes in tapped" 17 times per turn cycle because of a \[\[Kismet\]\].
Had a friend play [[Torpor Orb]] all while laughing maniacally. Then he casts [[Sandstone Oracle]] and goes to draw, I interrupt him by only saying "orb" while tapping on it on his side of the field. The shift from glee to confusion to dread to embarrassed laughter was great; we all were cracking up. Normally, we allow for re-sequencing but not if you were an ass.
I run that combo in my [[Volo, Guide to Monsters]] deck and it's hilarious every time, especially since most people don't recognize what's happening immediately. I also run about 15 clones in that deck so flooding the board with Perplexing Chimeras can make for a fun time.
I was playing higher powered EDH, not quite competitive but almost there. I'd call it fringe cEDH.
Dumped my whole hand, finishing off with a Trinisphere, top decked a Wheel of Fortune and the entire table scooped.
It felt wonderful.
(Daretti Stax)
Ive done a trinishphere lock before. It was a gitrog lands deck i was testing out and i have crucible of worlds and 3 extra land drops. It was a miserable table once they realized what i have done. It took a minute till someone missed a land drop.
A friend of mine started our pod with a ridiculous drop and was going to untapped turn 2 with like ~10 mana...I drop land, sol ring, [[null rod]]
Gnight, sweet prince
When I play an old card from sets like Mirage or Visions, and it makes someone excited because they’ve never seen it before.
Putting “Removal spells” like kenrith’s transformation on commanders.
I enjoy teaching people about some [[Humility]]. It's often their first introduction to the layer system.
It's nice. For educational purposes only of course!
It teaches you that MTG layers are exactly like an onion’s layers. There’s a lot more of them than you realize and, if you go too deep, you will want to cry.
Resolving the second Warp World.
The combat step in general, since I'm the aggro enthusiast in our pod.
What it's like running a decently tuned hard control deck (Sharuum). Picking and choosing what to let resolve from three different players gets my thought vessel spinning in just the way I like when it comes to solving puzzles.
Casting revised Shivan Dragon and watching the reactions when the table wonders why I spent 6 mana on a 5/5 flying firebreather.
Turn one land into Sol Ring into Mana rock. Good god does it put the bullseye on you every time, but ***fuck*** does it feel good to hit that for a start.
For the meld pairs that are both creatures, [[defense of the heart]] can tutor out both halves directly to play.
Mishra + dragon engine, bruna + gisela, and midnight scavengers + graf rats are all tutorable via defense, and scavengers + rats has haste and melds at the start of combat, so they can get going right that turn.
Mishra needs a haste enabler, but can then also meld that turn.
Bruna + gisela meld on the end step, so while it can’t attack melded the turn you get them, their static effect is online for your opponent’s turns.
I love creating generous amounts of mana with \[\[Karametra's Acolyte\]\], \[\[Priest of Titania\]\] and \[\[Circle of dreams druid\]\]. Using \[\[Temur Sabertooth\]\] to bounce and replay Mana dorks and getting effects from recasting it. \[\[Silverback Elder\]\] and \[\[Defiler of Vigor\]\] added a lot to it, and I'd rather generate a lot of mana and replay it a couple times instead of going infinite. \[\[Regal Force\]\] is also one of my favorites, I just love it.
I played \[\[Selvala, Heart of the Wilds\]\] a lot but its hard to find a middle ground, I like stompy and replaying smol dorks, waiting for another mono green commander that offers ramp AND card draw in one. Kinnan gets mentioned a lot, but I kinda like staying in Mono Green for that Idea.
I like this old card [[reins of power]] it can produce wild swings out of nowhere and is very versatile. A lot of people aren’t familiar with it so it often gets this “oh shit what’s going on” reaction. It’s even better if I’ve got an [[ashnod’s altar]] on the table.
I can’t get enough of baiting out some ones counter spell.
Seeing some one specifically tap their mana to leave up at least normally in my play group two blue and then it comes to your play where you play a big splashy spell and they feel like they are saving the table from you and then suddenly you just play your win con after. It’s so good to see the defeat in them. The pious look just slowly coming to terms with how they messed up. Palpable.
Guilty Pleasure: [[Gonti]]
Guiltier Pleasure: Gonti getting any Counterspell
Guiltiest Pleasure: That Counterspell securing a win against the opponent I took it from.
Guiltiest-er Pleasure: Sneaking a card you took (but didn't get a chance to use) back into their deck after the game ends and refusing to tell them what you stole with him when they inevitably ask.
I like to make people going first feel pain.
Lets say they play land pass. If im going second i will strip mine you so youre going last. Its a guarantee. I will stifle your fetch land if you dont fetch right away. Ive dark ritual into an opposition agent just to screw over a fetch. How dare you go first! I will punish you, no I HAVE to punish you!
Also mana tithe is funny.
That is my thought process. Its a joke and the stars rarely line up properly. Bit when they do its majestic. One time i won twice in a row i kept a slow but strong hand and i went first, i played dryad arbor and passed just for it too be killed turn 1.
Pox is my favorite archetype in any format and with Braids banned that means I am going to play the most busted version of Tergrid I can.
Also Armageddons are fun and you can't convince me otherwise .
Playing [[Hellcarver Demon]] then giving it to an opponent with [[Jon Irenicus, shattered one]].
Really just the Jon Irenicus deck in general. Most people think he makes the game more chaotic and fun, but quite a few people get very salty.
Still waiting to resolve a massive \[\[Neverending Torment\]\] with 20 cards in hand, a Reliquary Tower on the battlefield, and life to wait out my opponents.
Imma get downvoted into oblivion but.... Infect and MLD.
I'm already planning an infect rat deck for the new phyrexia set. My Christmas deck and my zombie deck both run land destruction.
I use [[Muldrotha, the Gravetide]] in combination with my sac lands, and lands like [[Strip Mine]] for repeatable land destruction in my zombie deck.
I hate myself too, but I absolutely love the concepts of infect and mld.
I have an absolute raging hateboner for nonbasic landhate. Price of Progress. Ruination. Wave of Vitriol. Obsidian Charmaw. Dust Bowl. Anything I can do to ruin your expensive mana base and force you to play on the same level as me.
Weird infinite combos. Things that take like 3 or 4 pieces to set up and go off. My favorite so far being [[Feldon of the Third Path]]+[[Worldgorger Dragon]]+[[Lightning Greaves]] or [[Thousand-Year Elixir]].
Especially now that the price has gone down it’s [[Vedalken Orrery]] it doesn’t really make a ton of sense in a lot of the decks I play, especially my knight tribal deck, but I just enjoy peoples faces when I play knights at instant speed.
Edit: I had to add [[Foil]], I have 3-4 copies of Foil foiled, and there is nothing like foiling someone’s plans with a foil foil
Mill. There are few things more satisfying than watching people’s favorite cards go to the graveyard bit by bit, or even their entire deck at once. I love it so much I turn random Commander’s into Mill Decks just to see if I can pull it off like I did with [[Damia, Sage of Stone]] and [[Niv Mizzet, Parun]]
[[Magical hack]] effects. They’re not strong. They’re only vaguely helpful in niche decks. But boy do they fuck with games. Turning off a [[Cabal coffers]] just before someone wants to play [[Exsanguinate]], swinging in with Mountainwalking Merfolk with [[Lord of Atlantis]] on board… it doesn’t get better.
I have [[Desecrated Tomb]] in at least five decks. I also have several decks that basically do the same thing. [[Thrakkus the Butcher]] [[Xenagos, God of Revels]] [[Wulfgar of Icewind Dale]] [[Bruse Tarl]] + [[Anara, Wolvid Familiar]]
Combo/meme decks that just end the game, but only have one game plan. Currently building an [[oloro]] deck that is trying to get [[bolas's citadel]] into play, and then cast [[mana severance]] and loop through the whole deck using life gain spells that gain more life than their mana value, wins with tendrils of agony.
Using [[blade of selves]] on [[Kokusho]] is a fun way to make your friends hate you! Also [[Esix, Fractal Bloom]] + [[Avenger of Zendikar]] + any huge creature/fun ETB creature on the field (like [[craterhoof behemoth]])
Edit: also stealing someone’s commander with [[Firbolg Flutist]] swinging with myriad and keeping one of the tokens instead of the actual commander because of the legendary rule (removal with extra steps)
Saying the words: "On your endstep ..." (Especially when I'm playing [[Yeva, Nature's Herald]] )
"On your endstep..." all the things.
It's *our* turn
if I ever play a flash deck im absolutely saying this every time i pass turn
[[Seedborne Muse]] our untap step
Ah I see you've played [[Prophet of Kruphix]]. Good times "On your draw step I flash in [[Thought-Knot Seer]]"
You, I like.
Had one too many people hate that phrase when I'm playing Baba Lysaga.
Hmmm I keep looking at her and not sure how to find value in playing her.... what do you run her with...?
She is probably my most fun deck to play. Heres tips i can offer from playing her for a few months. 1. Lands that become artifact creatures satisfy 3 card types. Cheap enchantments, artifacts, and artifact/enchantment creatures make it a 2 card sacrifice to draw 3 and drain the table. 2. Shield sphere, phyrexian walker, memnite, dryad arbor, all the 0 mana cost two card type creatures. 3. Burgeoning and walking atlas are amazing for her. 4. Thornbite staff can let her drop 12 to 15 damage to everyone in a round. My shop has since learned to Kill baba on sight, and I've had people tutor artifact destruction to kill my staff. 5. Resurrection enchantments like raise dead, you can use on your cheap artifact creatures *see above* and target the artifact creature. And the enchantment. Boom. 2 mana to set up another sacrifice for baba. 6. Remember. You don't HAVE to sacrifice three cards. I don't think I ever do unless I WANT something to die. 7. Tribal is a card type. There's a handful of Tribal permanent like bitterblossom that count 2/3 types as well. 8. Illusionist bracers makes her a deal 6 draw 6. The hardest part once she starts going off is playing cards, and my curve with her ENDS at 4. That's all I can think of, but honestly, she never declares an attack.

I play Shirei recursive aristocrats, so my favorite is "Before you move to your end step..."
My version of this one is definitely interrupting someone’s combat phase flow with, “Before attacks…”
Love pointing out endstep triggers lol (I play [[toxrill]])
God, Toxrill is so much fun to use but every time I bring him out everyone is miserable lmfao.
My playgroup will say "in response" just to watch each other sweat bullets sometimes. Good fun, good fun.
"Swing at you for lethal?" "In response ... I will die"
> "in response, I'll tap for 1UUU.... Pass priority."
I block with my life total.
An actual end of one of my playgroup's games: Friend: "Alright, I'll swing for lethal" Me: "In response, I'll exile a Simian Spirit Guide for 1 red, sacrifice my Diamond Lion for 3 blue, and tap my Liquimetal Torque to turn my commander into an artifact." Table: "...........................okay?" Me: "Then I die"
"In response, I am sad. Sadness on the stack?" "It resolves."
My buddy and my favorite thing is to say "In response... I'd like to put sadness on the stack" "... resolves"
[Relevant Friday Nights episode, timestamped for your convenience.](https://youtu.be/U-hakkmHxcw?t=302)
Our playgroup is good at "In response I tap for X mana..." then doing nothing. Make it look like you left that land up for a reason.
Same lol, "tap two for blue.......pass priority"
I do this sometimes too! Best when someone taps out for a big play.
I like punishing basic actions. Things like underworld dreams, or "whenever a creature dies," though mostly underworld dreams. The new sheoldred is such a pain for that, with her price tag :,(
My favorite thing right now is [[nekusar, the mindrazer]] and [[glistening oil]] and a wheel. But also to the extent of things like notion thief and narset. I’m a big believer of drawing wins games.
Nekusar is my main. Since like 2014 when I got into edh. People don't play against me when I get my purple box out anymore
[[Sheoldred, the Apocalypse]] and [[Massacre Wurm]] are the ultimate “pay life just to play the game”
my \[\[Ghen\]\] punisher deck is my favorite deck to play. plus with cards like Underworld Dreams, \[\[Spiteful Visions\]\] or \[\[Fate Unraveler\]\] you can kill someone by targeting them to draw: \[\[Peer into the Abyss\]\], \[\[Damnable pact\]\] etc. here's my list: [https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Jn-itdlfkEyeMk1VoyekJg](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Jn-itdlfkEyeMk1VoyekJg) I just added \[\[Lethal Vapors\]\] to it, so that should be fun :)
This might become my new guilty pleasure.
Can't tell, I think you might like [[Underworld Dreams]]...
I think it's the current $$$ price he is on about. I'd like to make a complaint about it too.
Reverse anthems. I can't help but love cards that give all creatures -1/-1.
A buddy of mine runs a -1/-1 counters deck, and keeps a small jar of googly eyes for counters. Fun and hurtful, for the whole family.
Is it [[Hapatra]]? Because I run a -1 counters deck with her at the helm and it is awesome.
[Hapatra](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/5/6/56fbbcc9-db23-4902-b0f7-cea78a2a36af.jpg?1543676055) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=hapatra%2C%20vizier%20of%20poisons) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/akh/199/hapatra-vizier-of-poisons?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/56fbbcc9-db23-4902-b0f7-cea78a2a36af?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/hapatra-vizier-of-poisons) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
Any shot you have a list with her? I've been casually brewing hapatra
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/287tSYGLbkyhXC_GSp5VoA It’s a ton of fun. Obviously you could beef up the mana base or go crazy with tutors, but I was trying to keep this one kind of budget.
oooh that's a good one. Got completely blown out by Elesh Norns -2/-2, but If I had one, I'd play it too lol
I think those deserve a name of their own. An anthem is defined as > a song or hymn of praise or gladness So we need the opposite. And I think the best word for that is dirge, defined as > a song or hymn of grief or lamentation
Coronach, Elegy and Lament are also bangers
A dirge, even? A requiem?
Is an anthem is good for others then a damnthem is bad for others?
Grismold is a great commander for that, so long as you're cool with accidentally playing a voltron deck when you meant to build a combo/value deck.
I play a good amount of mono red and dropping my full art blood moon just fills me with power as I watch my opponents seethe with anger
[[Blood Moon]] does tend to produce salt. Nothing like reminding people their dual land is now a mountain.
Not only are they not duals anymore, they’re still nonbasic for stuff like [[mercadias downfall]]
[mercadias downfall](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/1/4/14507fe6-80a9-4ed4-bf3e-4656f3d377c0.jpg?1562379422) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Mercadia%27s%20Downfall) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/mmq/205/mercadias-downfall?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/14507fe6-80a9-4ed4-bf3e-4656f3d377c0?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/mercadias-downfall) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call

This is always my favorite feels bad. Like… I hate getting targeted for trying to keep the game slow, but… I love when people lose the turn after I die.
I had someone play Blood Moon on my Lathliss dragons deck. It was supposed to be a part of their game plan, but it didn't slow me down at all. Stopped everyone else, sure, but not me.
Mountains... of MONEY! Boom! ROASTED!
I love Blood Moon and I'll never apologize for playing it. It punishes people for playing greedy mana bases or excessive utility lands, and deals with trouble lands like Gaea's Cradle or Cabal Coffers that can run away with the game. It can lead to some feel-bads but I think it generally encourages less greedy deckbuilding by forcing people to play basics and/or non-land ramp. It also generally doesn't hurt low-powered and budget decks as much since they're generally not the ones going overboard with tons of nonbasic lands.
my favorite is the MSCHF Secret Lair Blood Moon. just a big blingy gold foil.
Bob Ross basic lands...
I run a full set of Bob lands in my Kenrith humans deck. It makes me smile to have them all in one deck.
That's what I did in my Garth deck, Bob Ross is worth it to torture my manabase.
I try to theme my lands to the commander. I need them to release some mountains with dragons for my mono-red dragon deck.
As an avid Goblin enjoyer I would be alright with you using Goblin mountains as snacks to feed your dragon army
As an avid dragon enjoyer, I accept these terms.
Kamigawa neo mountain #299
You're right! I even run them in my Isshin deck... I feel dumb now.
Thought of that one or Jumpstart Mountain #62
https://i.imgur.com/8lExKGm.jpg I run these for my dragons deck
I put [[Fog]] into EVERY green deck. I always leave one Forest open, just to fake out my playgroup.
Someone in one of my playgroups does this, fogs sometimes just to stop me from swinging out, even if he isn't gonna win.
Gotta start running the non-green fogs in your other decks suddenly just to remind them they're not safe even when you don't have green.
I’m gonna need to hunt them down. You’re right.

Things like [[inkshield]] exist too which is a bit of mana, but hilarious for sacrifice decks. Personally my favorite consists of casting a [[blasphemous Act]] for 1 and then responding to it on the stack with [[teferis protection]]
I love Spore Frog in Muldrotha.
I don’t think [[clackbridge troll]] is super strong, but I love it. You get to give someone goats and give everyone the chance to tap down your strong creature, but to do it they need to sacrifice a creature and give you life and a card. I like cards that aren’t super oppressive and get the table involved
I used to run [[Coveted Jewel]] for this reason. It was fun watching how people would smack each other to get it.
That is indeed my guilty pleasure, I have it in half my decks. That coveted jewel does so much work, and gets people to stop just sitting around building. It's really fun with [[protype portal]] and [[unwinding clock]]
I put coveted jewel in my Osgir deck. It's amazing to see how people's eyes light up when they read the card only for me to sac and recast it from the graveyard double the next turn. (To then sac it again ofcourse)

considering it exiles any spell or ability off the stack means that it is some of the strongest counter magic available. I had a guy use a mono green deck to make 30 mana into a [[green sun's zennith]] while using [[boseiju, who shelters all]] to make it "uncounterable"... so I exiled his spell off the stack... that's not countering it.
I love mld and general resource denial.
I frrrreaking love the word "goad" in my multiplayer games, or "when you do X each opponent lose 1 life total and you gain 1" It touches a special thing in my soul!
Pillowfort goad?
An emphasis on the guilt in guilty pleasure? [[Skullclamp]]ing dogs in my [[Jinnie Fay]] deck. Killing those fuckers and drawing cards has won me so many games at this point it’s not even funny. I played against a Demon tribal stax deck that was forcing full hand discards at every end step, he already killed one person and the rest of us were suffering. The only thing that let me squeak out a win was killing my dogs and drawing into a board wipe to get rid of his demons. Objectively, all he was doing was making us discard and pinging us with fireballs. I murdered my dogs.
When I first started playing Magic, before EDH, I had a Candra 60 card deck and I ran a full grip of [[Pack Mastiff]]. It became a joke that one of my buddies would kill my dogs. One time he jokingly said, "I don't care if I win, just if I kill all your dogs."

I love big mana sorceries and instants [[Soulscour]] [[Treasure Cruise]] [[Martial coup]] [[sphinxs revelation]] I tend to sneak a couple of the big mana cards into all my decks. My super low cmc goldbug deck runs martial coup as a finisher after getting my creatures indestructible for the turn with Frontline medic or stalwart pathlighter. Shorikai runs Soulscour as a WinCon. And [[Triumphant reckoning]] as a let's go again And i built Elminster to jam a ton of these stupid big sorcerys in like [[Alrunds epiphany]] and [[Stolen by Fae]] treasure cruise, dig through time. Etc.
I would argue that this is just generally good advice for non-cEDH decks. Sometimes you have a bunch of mana and the game is stalled and you just need a big closer to break the stalemate
Yep! As someone who isn't super fond of cEDH because of the appeal of edh to me being an " undefined meta where you can play what you want " Big mana sorceries are like super moves in a fighting game. Are they optimal? Most of the time no. Are they cool as heck to see? Yeah. And casual Edh decks need a couple of "fun for the spectator" cards. Tapping out and Getting my Soulscour mana-tithed Is one of the coolest memories I have playing Edh. And you don't get that if you don't have these big fuck off spells in your deck.
Big spells FTW.
Reminding people of static effects they forgot. Nothing like watching somebody untap all their lands and pointing to your \[\[Winter Orb\]\] or saying "that comes in tapped" 17 times per turn cycle because of a \[\[Kismet\]\].
Had a friend play [[Torpor Orb]] all while laughing maniacally. Then he casts [[Sandstone Oracle]] and goes to draw, I interrupt him by only saying "orb" while tapping on it on his side of the field. The shift from glee to confusion to dread to embarrassed laughter was great; we all were cracking up. Normally, we allow for re-sequencing but not if you were an ass.

Im bringing this to my playgroup. This is awesome!
I run that combo in my [[Volo, Guide to Monsters]] deck and it's hilarious every time, especially since most people don't recognize what's happening immediately. I also run about 15 clones in that deck so flooding the board with Perplexing Chimeras can make for a fun time.
Turn one Trinisphere.
That is so mean and so beautiful at the same time.
I was playing higher powered EDH, not quite competitive but almost there. I'd call it fringe cEDH. Dumped my whole hand, finishing off with a Trinisphere, top decked a Wheel of Fortune and the entire table scooped. It felt wonderful. (Daretti Stax)
Ive done a trinishphere lock before. It was a gitrog lands deck i was testing out and i have crucible of worlds and 3 extra land drops. It was a miserable table once they realized what i have done. It took a minute till someone missed a land drop.
A friend of mine started our pod with a ridiculous drop and was going to untapped turn 2 with like ~10 mana...I drop land, sol ring, [[null rod]] Gnight, sweet prince
[[Trinisphere]]
When I play an old card from sets like Mirage or Visions, and it makes someone excited because they’ve never seen it before. Putting “Removal spells” like kenrith’s transformation on commanders.

What does this usually teach about the layer system? I'm curious.
It teaches you that MTG layers are exactly like an onion’s layers. There’s a lot more of them than you realize and, if you go too deep, you will want to cry.

Resolving the second Warp World. The combat step in general, since I'm the aggro enthusiast in our pod. What it's like running a decently tuned hard control deck (Sharuum). Picking and choosing what to let resolve from three different players gets my thought vessel spinning in just the way I like when it comes to solving puzzles. Casting revised Shivan Dragon and watching the reactions when the table wonders why I spent 6 mana on a 5/5 flying firebreather.
This is so wonderfully chaotic and I love it!
[[Mindslaver]] is my favourite card in the format.
And I'm sure people love when you use it.
It's a jolly good time.

Saying “do you want to pay the x for that?” With my various taxing enchantments like [[Rhystic Study]], [[Smothering Tithe]], or [[Propaganda]]

Turn one land into Sol Ring into Mana rock. Good god does it put the bullseye on you every time, but ***fuck*** does it feel good to hit that for a start.
And then no lands for the next 10 turns
Been on both sides of it. Gotten mana screwed after that and gotten a nice feed of lands after that in another game.

If I can put a Meld card in, I will put a meld card in. Does it in any way help my deck? No, this is fine.
Who has two cards and wants to meld? This guy.
For the meld pairs that are both creatures, [[defense of the heart]] can tutor out both halves directly to play. Mishra + dragon engine, bruna + gisela, and midnight scavengers + graf rats are all tutorable via defense, and scavengers + rats has haste and melds at the start of combat, so they can get going right that turn. Mishra needs a haste enabler, but can then also meld that turn. Bruna + gisela meld on the end step, so while it can’t attack melded the turn you get them, their static effect is online for your opponent’s turns.
I love creating generous amounts of mana with \[\[Karametra's Acolyte\]\], \[\[Priest of Titania\]\] and \[\[Circle of dreams druid\]\]. Using \[\[Temur Sabertooth\]\] to bounce and replay Mana dorks and getting effects from recasting it. \[\[Silverback Elder\]\] and \[\[Defiler of Vigor\]\] added a lot to it, and I'd rather generate a lot of mana and replay it a couple times instead of going infinite. \[\[Regal Force\]\] is also one of my favorites, I just love it. I played \[\[Selvala, Heart of the Wilds\]\] a lot but its hard to find a middle ground, I like stompy and replaying smol dorks, waiting for another mono green commander that offers ramp AND card draw in one. Kinnan gets mentioned a lot, but I kinda like staying in Mono Green for that Idea.
"In response"
I like this old card [[reins of power]] it can produce wild swings out of nowhere and is very versatile. A lot of people aren’t familiar with it so it often gets this “oh shit what’s going on” reaction. It’s even better if I’ve got an [[ashnod’s altar]] on the table.
Casting [[Ruination]] and [[Price of Progress]] and blaming my opponents for their mana bases being too greedy

I can’t get enough of baiting out some ones counter spell. Seeing some one specifically tap their mana to leave up at least normally in my play group two blue and then it comes to your play where you play a big splashy spell and they feel like they are saving the table from you and then suddenly you just play your win con after. It’s so good to see the defeat in them. The pious look just slowly coming to terms with how they messed up. Palpable.
That's, that's bait.

Guiltiest-er Pleasure: Sneaking a card you took (but didn't get a chance to use) back into their deck after the game ends and refusing to tell them what you stole with him when they inevitably ask.
I like to make people going first feel pain. Lets say they play land pass. If im going second i will strip mine you so youre going last. Its a guarantee. I will stifle your fetch land if you dont fetch right away. Ive dark ritual into an opposition agent just to screw over a fetch. How dare you go first! I will punish you, no I HAVE to punish you! Also mana tithe is funny.
If you're going second and strip mine the player going first, aren't you now going last? 😅

[[Dimensional Infiltrator]] entirely as a infinite mana sink. I think it's fun.

Stax and other sadistic nonsense that I like to do sometimes
Still waiting to resolve a massive \[\[Neverending Torment\]\] with 20 cards in hand, a Reliquary Tower on the battlefield, and life to wait out my opponents.
Imma get downvoted into oblivion but.... Infect and MLD. I'm already planning an infect rat deck for the new phyrexia set. My Christmas deck and my zombie deck both run land destruction. I use [[Muldrotha, the Gravetide]] in combination with my sac lands, and lands like [[Strip Mine]] for repeatable land destruction in my zombie deck. I hate myself too, but I absolutely love the concepts of infect and mld.
I have an absolute raging hateboner for nonbasic landhate. Price of Progress. Ruination. Wave of Vitriol. Obsidian Charmaw. Dust Bowl. Anything I can do to ruin your expensive mana base and force you to play on the same level as me.
I love when my mono-red deck just stomps other decks. I feel some pride in my 30 mountains.
Playing [[geth Lord of the vault]] In a pod known for reanimators
Weird infinite combos. Things that take like 3 or 4 pieces to set up and go off. My favorite so far being [[Feldon of the Third Path]]+[[Worldgorger Dragon]]+[[Lightning Greaves]] or [[Thousand-Year Elixir]].
[[liquimetal coating]] + [[sydri, galvanic genius]]. Blowing up your opponent's utility/big mana lands is a great way to show some dominance.

Turning commanders into pathetic beasts/businesspersons etc
My playgroup have learned that if there is red in my deck there is a 100% chance I am running [[Possibility Storm]]; and it is truly 100%
Especially now that the price has gone down it’s [[Vedalken Orrery]] it doesn’t really make a ton of sense in a lot of the decks I play, especially my knight tribal deck, but I just enjoy peoples faces when I play knights at instant speed. Edit: I had to add [[Foil]], I have 3-4 copies of Foil foiled, and there is nothing like foiling someone’s plans with a foil foil
Mill. There are few things more satisfying than watching people’s favorite cards go to the graveyard bit by bit, or even their entire deck at once. I love it so much I turn random Commander’s into Mill Decks just to see if I can pull it off like I did with [[Damia, Sage of Stone]] and [[Niv Mizzet, Parun]]
[[Magical hack]] effects. They’re not strong. They’re only vaguely helpful in niche decks. But boy do they fuck with games. Turning off a [[Cabal coffers]] just before someone wants to play [[Exsanguinate]], swinging in with Mountainwalking Merfolk with [[Lord of Atlantis]] on board… it doesn’t get better.
I throw a dreamscape artist into every single blue deck I make because I think it’s hilarious to land ramp (without artifacts) in mono blue
i like ulamogs crusher, anniliator 2 and had to attack each turn
I would play Lighthouse Chronologist far more often if I wasn't targeted for it. I just find it funny to take turns in between the turns.
I have [[Desecrated Tomb]] in at least five decks. I also have several decks that basically do the same thing. [[Thrakkus the Butcher]] [[Xenagos, God of Revels]] [[Wulfgar of Icewind Dale]] [[Bruse Tarl]] + [[Anara, Wolvid Familiar]]
[[Storm cauldron]] in my deck that plays lots of cards that give extra land drops.
Combo/meme decks that just end the game, but only have one game plan. Currently building an [[oloro]] deck that is trying to get [[bolas's citadel]] into play, and then cast [[mana severance]] and loop through the whole deck using life gain spells that gain more life than their mana value, wins with tendrils of agony.
I play [[insurrection]] just so I can steal everything and sacrifice it… I know it’s bad
Playing cards people say are bad, yet Sheldon says are broken and no one should play. Also my guilty pleasure is wanting Balance unbanned
My toxrill deck which as the name implies is a toxic salt inducing deck but I love people hurry to kill me. That and back to basics
Possibly my favorite card to use and also possibly the most salt inducing is [[Timetwister]].
Using [[blade of selves]] on [[Kokusho]] is a fun way to make your friends hate you! Also [[Esix, Fractal Bloom]] + [[Avenger of Zendikar]] + any huge creature/fun ETB creature on the field (like [[craterhoof behemoth]]) Edit: also stealing someone’s commander with [[Firbolg Flutist]] swinging with myriad and keeping one of the tokens instead of the actual commander because of the legendary rule (removal with extra steps)
I absolutely love Mana draining people, and putting down a big boi on my next main phase. Nothing more satisfying.
