@jasonsavory9748 usually, "don't feed the fish" means not casting noncreature spells into a remora and waiting until its dead and gone. Ofc, that does mean not having any of your fast mana available to you, which does make it hard to win

Godo had an opening turn 2, could someone explain why not go for it? Especially when all your deck does is try to win? Its not like you actually try to out grind a 4&5 colour piles plus a storm deck... what am i missing? He even had the land on turn 2 to make sure he hits 11

I'm curious about the stickers/dots on Chris's cards; are they used to sort between multiple decks? Are they on the inner sleeves? Is it noticeable when shuffling?
@Guerte11 ай бұрын
Those indicate cards shared between decks. They should be on the inner sleeves as that’s where I have mine and make the most sense. I personally haven’t noticed anything when shuffling, but it does add thickness to the side with the stickers. I store my deck in a Boulder, and have to take half the deck and flip it around in order to get the deck to fit, and it’s still tight.

Editing takes time. Going with the first image is simply more efficient with little downside.
@Knusti00011 ай бұрын
i think they have 1 image per card imported in their library so they just have to type it in their editing software of choice and then use it. Downloading and using all versions not only is tedious and adds editing time, it also takes a lot of ressources for the pc to even load them.

It's basically a rule at our table to kill the blue player first I remember a time that this was so prominent at an lgs I went to no one played Any blue commander decks for a solid 3-4 months it made the games way more interesting way more interactive. Like okay no blue so how do you deal with someone trying to combo off and win if you cant counter anything. Simple ya play stax God this was an amazing age of no holds bar smack each other or stax each other out or learn to adapt to what is at the table. I remember a crazy player who ran every single white counter spell he could find with scepter it went wild he protected that thing with his life it was such an interesting fun way to play.

You always have that one deck you just loathe playing against or outright don't like and for me it's Blue Farm. It's SO BORING. Yes, it is probably one of the most efficient decks in the format, I understand it, but for me, cEDH is figuring out ways to police the table and just go for it. Blue Farm has the same set of events that will lead to either a Thoracle Consult win or a Underworld Freeze win. It's just. So. Boring.
