So long as you are aware, your playgroup is aware, and you avoid the pitfalls; then good luck and enjoy. I can see how the flavor of the first 6 myr led to this design; but I have to admit that the design does not *feel* like a Lord or Legendary Myr. That said, taste is subjective. What does the fil...

Might I suggest using the Tribal EDH Varant , which primary say that creature types should be treated like color identity - as long as the creature type is anywhere on the card, the card "meets" tribal requirements. Myr have 35 creatures (37 with the above rule) and 10 direct Myr related n...

(You guys don't run fetches in mono decks?)

Sure:
- Terramorphic Expanse, Evolving Wilds, Fabled Passage, Ash Barrens, Field of Ruin, Prismatic Vista and Thawing Glaciers when possible.

DEATH TO FOILS. Seconded. Whenever possible I will avoid the foil version of anything. When it isn't possible (e.g. Commander Pre-Con Legends) I *might* use it if it is a deck I really want; otherwise, I'll just sideline the idea until a non-foil version is available or shift the deck to a non-foil...

I'm hoping to find a tribe that can run multiple directions, instead of just +X/+X beat down. It's fairly difficult to make suggestions with such an open ended "request;" did you have an specific themes/subthemes you were hoping to try? For example, some of my decks that aren't simply mid...

I've played Uril, the Miststalker in the past, when he was the only legendary beast (pre-Gahiji) and I wanted to try a tribal Beast deck. I'd hoped that having a theme (and only 1 aura in the whole deck) would make him more palatable (these were the days when he was really overplayed); however, I wa...

I've added a 0.4 second delay on opening the menus, but no delay on closing them. Does this feel better, less prone to error? Wow, thank you very much. Quick test seems to be a significant improvement. I'll update after a day or two of "testing" if that changes. Edit: Change seems to be h...

Does anybody know what the hover delay is for the forum/index page "Discuss - Explore - Tools" toolbar. It seems like the delay has been shortened or removed (maybe only on PC). The last few months I've noticed an increasing number of false clicks when I change the browser tab to Nexus, th...

Another thing to consider, just because you have already paid to activate something like Needle Spires , doesn't mean it can't be the target of Obuun's ability. Making a manland that already has abilities (doublestrike in this example) bigger through the support ability is another axis of flexibilit...

You definitely don't need to resort to zendikons... See, you say "resort to" and I say "enjoy bending"... For Example - My Estrid ManLand deck really likes prepping a few Zendikons, Elemental Manlands wearing a Wild Growth variant, etc. then dropping Infiltrator's Magemark . A z...

Directions? Don't forget the left turn at Albuquerque... On a more serious note: The "problem" with Obuun is that you don't make the creature until combat, so you can't buff the creature you are making during the combat you elementalize the land. You won't want to play your lands until aft...

Concur with all of the above. I have Tower and Temple in a few of my WUBRG decks, but only if there is a reason. Also, none of my WUBRG decks run less than 40 land*. I would recommend to him a goldfish I run with my WUBRG decks - I goldfish to turn 5 ten times in a row. If I finish with less than 5 ...

I've had some success with the Bow in midrange stompy decks, paired with things like Cream of the Crop , Sylvan Library , Wheel of Sun and Moon , and the aforementioned cards (not necessarily all together). I've tried it in Gahiji, Honored One Beasts, Kaseto, Orochi Archmage Snakes, and Captain Sisa...

While I agree somewhat that some players may over-value Chromatic Lantern (and Prismatic Omen ), they do have their uses. Sunburst decks may still want one or both of these in the 99 (Domain decks would only want the Omen), and decks heavy/themed on activated abilities (such as Cromat ) may also wan...

Huntmaster of the Fells // Ravager of the Fells was the Werewolf legend we should have had, if only WotC hadn't been afraid of making a legendary flip card the first time on Innistrad. He performs very well in Tribal Garou. He likes flicker effects, especially once Immerwolf is on the table and pro...

Why Seal of the Guildpact?

It's a CMC reducer that can be considered for the deck. As seen above

...And since you are often casting and recasting permanents, ways to reduce casting costs will probably be quite strong.

Here's my first pass at a maybe board of cards to consider, organized by theme function. I've liked clone effects with Ninja (yes, like most Japanese nouns, the plural does not use an "s") in the past, since you can use Ninjutsu to "reset" the clone, abuse E/LTB effects, etc. Equ...

What made this relevant when it was in Type 2 was: - As an instant, you could hit this EOT if you didn't counter, and draw the cards on your upkeep. - being card neutral, since permission had/has a tendency to keep a full grip you didn't want to have to discard from drawing "extra" (grante...

bobthefunny Ninja'd Does Feldon of the Third Path plus Lesser Masticore create a spare 1/1 Masticore token every turn? No, a token with Persist will still be removed from the graveyard as a state based action (since tokens can't exist outside the battlefield) before it can return with a -1/-1 count...

IIRC, I believe it is called a mirror when the connected cards are only in two colors and match each other (e.g. White Knight / Black Knight ) https://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=5860&type=card Even though I was playing during US, I don't recall any defined reason why t...

Welcome. Before starting EDH a decade ago, I mostly played 60-card casual formats such as Tribal Legacy , Emperor, Rainbow Stairwell , Star ( original , with blocking en passant ) and 5 Moons. The transition wasn't very difficult (but then some of the formats I played were already highlander), and I...

I haven't had an in-person playgroup in a decade, but I've been working to make MTGO more accessible for people who are willing to try it out, but don't have the money to invest up front without know if they will like it. I created a pool of cards to give to people wanting to try MTGO on the cheap ....

An unwitting demonstration of why skill probably has to go, and why the speed x approach approximation is a pretty sensible one :P Skill could be a similar fine-tuner of the social axis maybe? I'm not sure where to put that. Skill is a very hard to quantify thing, I mean if you are on the pro tour ...

Nice and well-thought-out approach. The product does seem to be paper specific (e.g. MTGO pick-up games don't really offer a chance for rule 0 interaction, and generally have minimal to no "banter" or socialization). For socialization in that venue, you really need to have a playgroup/clan...

In blatant defiance of the "less colors" preference, I would still like to recommend my example Rainbow Stairwell Horde of Notions deck here ; in case the concept appeals as a "try once, no strings attached" dealio. I'll also recommend our Group Think deck, so maybe we can get in...
