Cards to force Unfinity on my play group
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on July 4, 2023, 11:29 a.m. by Makeborosgreatagain
Hey. I had to idea to force my brother and a huge mtg fan to play one of his least favorite sets. The unfinity one. As commander, I thought about Ognis, the Dragon's Lash as he plays with cards like Act of Treason and I could give the stolen creature a sticker before handing it back. Can you imagine getting your Rakdoss back but with a hot dog as a hat? :D I aim at a low-mid power range.
Any other cards you know that could force my group to play unfinity cards? Something like spell exchange or each player copies this spell?

First, Id be careful how you proceed. Forcing someone to do things they dont want to do can leave a bad taste in peoples mouths, even if they do decide that doing the thing wasnt as bad as they expected. Second, as far as stickers go, remember, the rules state that players are not allowed to put stickers on cards they dont own. So if you gain control of something from your opponents deck, you arent allowed to put stickers on it. Sure, you might be able to Rule 0 it so that you can, but good luck talking someone into it, if they already dont want to play with stickers at all. Just some food for thought for you.

Edit: Though I am not sure there is truly an appropriate forum for asking this kind of I want to annoy others for no purpose other than annoying them advice.

Using commander-legal un-set cards in your decks is a good path forward without breaking the rules. Saw in Half is an incredible card in aristocrats decks and is perfectly commander legal.

Of note, i’m positive that the rules for stickers dictate you can only sticker cards you own. Even if you temporarily control an opponents creature, you’re not allowed to put stickers on it.
A more on-topic question, is why do you want to make this person unhappy?

My friend has a Captain Rex Nebula deck where he crashes random things into people and it’s a lot of fun. Smash a planeswalker into your brother! Lol

I don't think "forcing" people to play a game they don't want to is the right approach. Why doesn't your brother like Infinity? Find cards that you think will engage his interest, avoid cards that won't, and always ask permission before handling someone else's cards. Even your brother's.
