Honestly, could you remind me why clown car is good in that deck? I remember hearing about some kind of synergy with it but I can’t remember/find what it was. It’s a very cute card and I want to find a place to run it if I can :P

@Qazplm601MC so clown car casting cost is X. So typically you never use any mana for it. X = 0. All you want is that crew ability to tap the dwarves to generate treasures. It's the cheapest way of getting the tap ability

Clown car could also technically double as a win con in emergency if you have infinite mana it's very niche case but it happens 😅

Clown car is one of my favorite cards lol, I run it in both my purphoros deck and my mr house deck

Love my slicer deck!

i still disagree with the rules for Slicer, because you are putting him under an opponents control and the equipment equipped onto him stay on him and are not "aura's" but equipment is treated like "aura's" and the only equipment that works likes that because of how it's worded is Bloodthristy Blade. And unless i'm mistaken, if the player has a way to sacrifice artifacts, they can sacrifice the artifacts equipped on Slicer.

@@MageSkeleton they cannot sacrifice equipment on Slicer. They control 'him', but can't activate abilities of, nor do they have control of, any equipment on him. Which is also how auras are treated as well.

Definitely a promising commander, i love what he does, but the numbers don't like. However, there are people playing him in ways that are so strange you'd think they were playing to lose and it messes with the statistics. i feel like he should be performing better than he seems to be but somehow every other mono color commander option is in the same % rate.

Do you mean, k‘rrik son of yawgmotj, industry plant of magic the gathering? I fully agree, what k‘rrik can do is pretty sick in some cases. There are some cases where you just win out right when drawing your first hand but you can also get pretty screwed more time Ethan I want to admit. Still a very satisfying playstyle

The Veracious Codex sure did a thing, sad it's a "gimmick deck."

This sounds cool

Hate tell you going get game lost for having proxy in your deck

@@Niv-Mozartto bad he gets DQ for having proxy and can’t play

@Dark-Pikachu1 why did you respond to me when you already responded to them? In case you didn't know, some CEDH tournaments are proxy friendly. Please don't respond thanks 😃 have a good day

With the shut down of more and more LGS's, doing an "in person" Cedh tournament becomes more difficult. While there are locations that are "proxy friendly" this could mean "only pretty proxies that look like the card it's meant to represent" or "as long as you have a real physical version of the card" which contradicts the whole "proxy friendly" thing, or "You can only proxy reserved list cards." At my LGS they simultaneously told me "we're proxy friendly" and while i didn't get DQ'd, i was punished for using proxies because they made sure to slow me down to ensure everyone knew what each proxy was representing while requiring me to play within a special "time limit" where they successfully ensured i ran out of time to present my "win." And i only needed 10 more seconds.

It's a 4 player format, and all the strongest decks can win out of nowhere at nearly any time. Turbo naus, thoracle etc. You don't have the cards in hand to police the entire board so you have to hedge against the threats you know can win on any of their turns after they get to three mana.

No. In multiplayer you’d take care of the drannith magistrate or use your Counter on Lions Eye Diamond.

Bad example, commander is meant to be a four player game, though can be five or three players in a "pod." Removal is normally "spot removal" and has to be used wisely. With that said, it's a strange phenomenon where players psychologically want to see what the thing does before formulating a plan. Think of it like playing Dark Souls and learning your opponent through losing to it multiple times before making a "winning attempt." So theoretically, someone could go into tournament with an "unknown commander" to the environment and just "get the win" as long as the opponents are confused to why your bringing that commander.

Not to mention that people who love this game also don't have access to funds, like me being a full time college student, in order to want to compete at such a high level

good thing top cEDH is proxy friendly, you just print out a deck easy. funds dont matter @@dr.pultandmrgrimm991

Most likely the upcoming one

I speak on behalf of orvar, and that deck has won me the most games out of all my cedh decks I've built. Been cedh since 2019 and orvar has the highest % win rate for me. Can be budget friendly too

It’s more that mono color decks will run very específic combos that only appear in that commander, so you can’t really expect people to know every single obscure combo piece, as opposed to the common ones in other colors. You’ll have mono color combo pieces that go for 50 cents because they’re useless in every other deck, but generates infinite mana/storm/etb etc in that specific commander, so it’s easy to be caught by surprise
