Excuse me, but you appear to have forgotten about STOMPY as an archetype. Not every deck that drops big beaters needs tribal synergy, and not every deck that wants spectacular sorcelating needs to chain rituals. Some of us just happen to like our spells like we like our romantic interests: BIG. I'm talking Cascade into Cascade into Cascade into You Done. I'm talking Ultimatums and Elder Dragons. Mayael don't want none unless you're 5 power, son! We keep lit the torch of the OG Spirit of the Format! Stompy players, I see you, and remember we always have players in these streets.

Imo, group hug done right follows a similar pattern to how you described wheels. 1. They accelerate everyone into the late game but you build your deck to be the most likely to win the late game. 2. Alternatively, you can play cards that accelerate everyone, with the catch that they accelerate you more.

My first fully built edh deck is an oloro control deck, the wincons are basically planeswalkers like teferi, ugin, emrakul or just looping infinite turns with kefnet + scroll rack + any extra turn spell. The deck also plays some number of anti creature stax pieces like tainted aether, spreading plague, etc, this is so that the deck no longer needs to play that many boardwipes and have rooms for other removals, counters or more card draw spells. The deck has been surprisingly effective so far, especially against creature decks, has been playing it for years and still loving it.

Agro mid-range and control are definitely deck types for sure, there's also tempo and Combo, these are more general terms while archetypes are more specific. For example, you could have an aristocrats deck that's focused on combo killing as quickly as possible or you can have one that's more focused on controlling the board with death triggers.

@egoish6762 2 жыл бұрын

I think it is useful to how the archetypes fit into the play styles, agro/combo/control, and how they stack together. For example zombie tribal is Tribal and Graveyard which can have some Self Mill, but it can also be Aristocrats and Tokens. I call mine Combo/Agro, but it is a mash-up of all those archetypes and i don't think there are many decks in commander that don't have some of that flexibility. Most edh control decks seem to have elements of stax, superfriends decks tend to lean into those two archetypes as well to stay alive. I think some of the most unique decks are the ones that combine them in unusual ways. Enchantress aristocrats stax was an interesting one i played against recently. Very controlling deck that tried to combo win but was holding the board back with prison effects and stax pieces.

Funnily enough I got my Teysa Karlov during 2021 for my first deck when I got back into MTG (I originally started out playing in old Theros but couldn't use my old deck for FNM), the Gideon the Oathsworn precon, not realizing she wasn't standard. After Theros Beyond Death dropped and I played at a pre release I fell off of Standard again because I realized how expensive it would be to continue playing and switched over to Commander, converting most of my Gideon deck to an Aristocrats deck using Teysa as my Commander, not even realizing she's one of the best Aristocrats Commanders. At the time I didn't even know the name for the strategy.

Another weakness for lifegain decks: voltron. It's always 20 commander damage to kill a player and they can't use lifegain to change that. That's how I killed a lifegain deck that got up to like 400 life. 23 commander damage in one hit and it was over. For control, I play Michiko and just punish people for wanting to chip me. Then we use indestructible + hexproof angels, luminarch ascension, monarchy, initiative, and "win the game" stuff like Approach of the Second Sun.

Play cards like sygg, curiosity and ophidian eye to have card advantage and the damage scales as the game goes on because your casting more expensive spells.

Anti-tribal card idea sounded pretty cool. To not make it a dead card it could be something like: as you cast this spell choose a creature type, creatures of the chosen type get either +X/+X or -X/-X until end of turn where X is equal to the number of creatures of the chosen type players control. Great tribal card that doubles as tribal hate in a pinch.

Adding in Control right at the end felt weird. Without the other evergreen archetypes, such as aggro/combo/midrange/tempo, it felt too vague compared to the other archetypes. In fact, I think the archetype least understood in edh is tempo. Sometimes it's referred to as a farm deck. But it's the deck that attempts to push its resource efficiency high. Draw extra cards, use your mana efficiently, etc. In CEDH, it's to push towards combos. But Jund Farm decks would be your more typical tempo strategy where you tempo out a board state, and swing the game in your favor with something like Selvala's Stampede or a medium sized Hoof to remove the most threatening player.

@ich3730 Жыл бұрын

tempo is weak at casual edh because you cant make efficient plays in EDH. its simply not possible. The "opposing side" is drawing 3 cards per turn and has 3x the mana you have :D

@ebbandfloatzel Жыл бұрын

@@ich3730 I find that argument very strange, because everyone is supposed to somehow come ahead of that "One vs Three" problem by the end of the day. A lot of the time I see games where everyone is keeping each other in check. And that's where a tempo deck, with some smart play and sand bagging, actually thrives. It doesn't have to be super high power level for a deck running Ledger Shredder/Kraum/Esper Sentinel/Smothering Tithe/other similar incremental value cards to end up being ahead. Jund Farm decks run similar cards, but gain their main advantages through combat with cards like Shakedown Heavy/Grim Hireling/Prof Face Breaker. Usually along some forms of stax and mass removal too. I don't think you've lived until you've hit a Culling Ritual for 8+ mana.

Sounds like you've not had great experience with group hug decks. They play by remaining innocuous, non-threatening, and gaining political advantage with players, helping them all with the resources they need to weaken each other. Then, once they're all shields down, the group hug deck can seize the opening to turn the tide in their favour. They're very similar to control and forced combat strategies, but play the politics dance in a different way. I personally think they're very fun and interesting to play with and against, adding a new dynamic to the game.

@austinsawicki9780 2 жыл бұрын

Group Hug decks, in my experience, almost always fall into the niche of "I know your strategy now, so you aren't innocuous." Like it's a gimmick for a game or two, but once people understand that you're threatening to win, they either use your group hug to speed up their game plan and kill you, or they just outright kill you.

No burn? I know it's much harder to pull off in commander since you have 3 opponents and each has 40 life but there are still decks that can pull it off with beefy enough spells (Neheb comes to mind). Mill's also worth a mention, not an archetype that sees a *ton* of commander play due to the whole 100 card decks thing, but still Also, to me, the most emblematic stax commander is not even Augustin, it's Gaddock Teeg. Because Augustin slows the game down, but you can still *sorta* play. Gaddock Teeg straight up says "oh, you're a Timmy? Well *sorry* Timmy, I guess you just don't *get* to play Magic today. Better luck next time." Though, I guess he's technically more of a hatebears commander than stax per se? Are the two different enough to draw a difference between them?

Storm is one of the strongest archetypes lol. Most people just don’t know how to build the deck properly because they are trying to use guttersnipe and effects like that which isn’t as strong as it once was. I don’t even play cantrips in most of my storm decks.

I like Storm as a concept but when I built my deck I had to intentionally remove half my storm stuff and implant a secondary gameplay strat because I gave myself a migraine during testing trying to keep track of all the bs on the stack 😅 I had that migraine for 4 days btw
