Lord_Olga on Going beyond 40 lands if …
2 weeks ago
So here's how i typically start with a build. 40% of the deck is lands. Thats 40 in a 100 card deck and 24 in a 60 card deck. I never raise it higher. If I feel starved that usually either means I need more draw or my average CMC is too high. If I have alternative sources of mana, like rocks, OR if my average CMC is really low, thats when I'll take some out. Commander decks pretty much always have numerous mana rocks and sometimes ramp in them so thats why a lot of decks will sit at 30-36 lands. It sounds to me like you need to figure out a good way to draw or cycle cards. If youre not getting lands with 40 in there you're just unlucky.

Universes Within could be a hub, but would Universes Beyond need a hub alongside it? Which one, if either, should be considered the default, especially with the changes to format availability?

Can you please explain the process you're looking at?
I see something like this:
Setup: Crystalline Crawler and Marath, Will of the Wild each have three +1/+1 counters with Doubling Season in play.
-
Remove a counter from Crawler to add a mana, let's say . Crawler has two counters.
-
Use that to activate Marath for X=1, choosing to put a +1/+1 counter on itself. Marath has two counters.
-
Season doubles the counter, so two +1/+1 counters are put on Marath. Crawler has two counters, Marath has four.
-
Remove a counter from Crawler to add . Crawler has one counter.
-
Use that to activate Marath for X=1, choosing to put a +1/+1 counter on Crawler. Marath has three counters.
-
Season doubles the counter, so two +1/+1 counters are put on Crawler. Crawler has three counters, Marath has three.
So that just puts you back where you started.

-
Season doubles the counter, so two +1/+1 counters are put on Marath. Crawler has two counters, Marath has three.
-
Use the other to activate Marath for X=1, choosing to put a +1/+1 counter on itself. Marath has two counters.
-
Season doubles the counter, so two +1/+1 counters are put on Marath. Crawler has two counters, Marath has four.
So that just puts you back where you started, but you moved a counter from Crawler to Marath.
Setup: Crystalline Crawler and Marath, Will of the Wild each have three +1/+1 counters with Doubling Season in play.
-
Remove a counter from Crawler to add . Crawler has one counter.
-
Use that mana to activate Marath for X=2, choosing to put a +1/+1 counter on itself. Marath has two counters.
-
Season doubles the counters, so four +1/+1 counters are put on Marath. Crawler has one counter, Marath has six. Removing any more counters from Crawler would kill it, so the combo stops.

I'm not going to brute force any more numbers, but I don't see an obvious path to infinite mana. The most positive net effect I see using those three cards is shuffling counters back and forth between the two creatures.

Andramalech - thank you, that’s very kind of you to say.
It’s still very much early stages, I like the look of those suggestions, I had forgotten about Braid of Fire, that definitely seems worth making space for.
vic - Yes, this is a new Secret Lair coming out in November. They have also made legendary creatures for Ironman, Black Panther, Captain America, & Wolverine.

2 weeks ago
I recently played a game with three opponents, in which one opponent controlled Grand Arbiter Augustin IV, and another opponent cast Blasphemous Act while more than thirteen creatures (at least sixteen, I believe) were on the battlefield, and I argued that BA would cost only a single red mana to cast, since its inherent cost reduction effect would reduce the tax from Augustin, but Augustin's controller argued that the tax was applied after the reduction, so which of us was correct?

legendofa: True. Btw, that deck should say hi to High Ground and Brave the Sands.
Green Scar, Cultivated Rage
Legendary Creature - Human Mutant Warrior Noble
~ enters the battlefield with X additional +1/+1 counters, where X is the total amount of damage dealt to players this turn.
Trample, Vigilance, Indestructible
When ~ enters the battlefield, it deals damage equal to its power divided as you choose among any number of targets.
4/4
World War Hulk was one hell of an arc.

Tbvh one of my favorite Marvel villains ever since I was a young lad was Taskmaster. The Black Widow movie messed him up bad. I don't mind the gender swap, honestly. But the core of the character was destroyed.
Now's my chance to make my boy whole again.
I wanted to get into experience counters and 2/2 black Mercenary tokens but honestly I felt like keeping it clean and simple was easier.
Unfortunately, if an opponent has 3 legendary creatures in play, Taskmaster sees them all. Once those three leave play, he loses those abilities.
But like I said, I wanted to keep things simple.
Repeat.

The Unending
Legendary Creature - Elder Elemental
Mutate
The Unending cannot be countered if it was cast for its mutate cost.
Ward
Aura spells you cast that target The Unending cost less to cast.
Creatures spells you cast for mutate costs that target The Unending cost less to cast.
The Unending gets +1/+1 for each aura attached to it and each creature mutated with it.
When The Unending leaves the battlefield, you may exile any number of auras that were attached to it and/or creatures mutated with it. Until the end of your next turn, you may cast spells exiled this way. At the beginning of the end step of your next turn, shuffle all cards exiled this way into your library.
1/1
Well, that was a complicated one. I'm not sure I used the right formatting to described parts of a mutated creature, but whatever.
Since the new Marvel cards have been shown, create a legendary creature based on a Marvel villain.

And on top of that, this dude made it mono-white, if they did 4 colors (U/G/R/W) and have Impact Tremors with Gremlin Tamer and Enchanted Evening it MIGHT work. There’s just so many other things to consider, you need protection that’s low cost to protect the tamer, maybe a card searcher for the pieces and ramp if they want enough mana to cast all of them.

@Bookrook with a 5-drop that is only at 2 count your combo is just not viable. Even at low power levels you expect that to happen in less than 5 turns? And even if you did, what’s gonna happen? Board state stays the same, you just keep creating gremlins but you can’t go to combat to use them and you can’t stop the process.

Gonna drop some love for you early because I've seen what else you build, and I knew someone would inevitably make a long-term build list. I'm so looking forward to commentary as new cards are released, etc. because this commander is rightfully going to explode. Good luck! +1 because game recognize game, playa.
Right off the bat I've gotta do diligence and recommend Grapeshot, Weather the Storm, Lightning Bolt, Royal Treatment, Manamorphose, Rite of Flame, and Braid of Fire.
Edit: After checking out the full parameters of your list, I think it's splitting hairs the way I made suggestions; this deck could go SO MANY ways. But I really like what you've done! Let me know if you make any substantial changes, I'd love to hear how it does. Best of luck.

We'd need to know your curve. Like, my mode for nonland cards tends to be at 3 mana.
I would suggest you goldfish a few times and record on which round you reach 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on up to the top of your curve. Since you're in green, I would recommend Sakura-Tribe Elder, Rampant Growth (strictly worse than STE, but still good), Nature's Lore, Three Visits (a Portal: Three Kingdoms card, but it has been reprinted in Commmander precons), and Farseek.
And remember, there's no shame in a mulligan. If this is a serious problem, you can partial Paris mulligan away all your nonland cards and see if you get one or two more.
