Derp is actually right (I say, reluctantly). I can't imagine restricting CMC is one way to spice up the game; it just makes the game less about the big stuff and more about infinites.

aha; Takes skill and precision. plus it's between draft count and regular sixty card deck. And the limitation of spells to cmc three or less so..
I happen to want a further venture into Tiny Leaders. I also love Noble as a format.

I don't see it as a Bastardization of EDH. I see it as the lovechild of EDH and Legacy. High impact cards at low cmc, but in a singleton format with a general.

EDH was built on being a format with no consistancy and long plays so you can show your skill without doing things super early and playing for the long game instead. TL takes away both of those.

Like I said before, I haven't really gotten into EDH yet, but TL seems more appealing to me personally how the dames tend to be not as slow as EDH.

I've once made a singleton elf deck.. yeah that went well
Though an EDH deck happened since then

It seems that the bendjohnson bot has learned some better grammar than a month or two ago

Tiny leaders is great. I personally don't like commander at all and its very unpopular in my play group because people tend to me assholes with it back when it was played. Tiny leaders is fast paced and allows for a lot of archetypes that would suck in any other format. Its not really a combo format and often you are just getting your face bashed in with Geist of Saint Traft. Limiting the mana cost is sweet cause no eldrazi, but there still are stompy decks, they just play hydras.

I built a few TL decks, but did not spend anything on the format. I think it is a worse money pit then EDH. Seems to have a little staying power. it is much easier to run as a tourney.
I am still an EDH guy though.
May 28, 2015 11:18 p.m.
Oh forgot to say that it isn't meant to be multiplayer and really sucks if played that way, so its not a replacement for commander, nor was it intended to be so.

T1 Ritual into Hypnotic Specter
T3 Thoughtseize into Bad Moon is pretty degenerate.
But yea, I wouldn't buy any cards for the format, but throwing stuff i'm not using anywhere else into a deck is just like, why not?
May 28, 2015 11:19 p.m.
I really like tiny leaders. Overall, it's much cheaper, and degenerate combo decks are overall pretty bad (mainly since Aluren isn't legal, and Hermit Druid is unplayable). It also just has a lot of versatility.

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #15
EDH has versatility too.
except about 2.5X more of it.
also, I have a $57 EDH deck that works really well. hows that for cheap?
May 28, 2015 11:42 p.m.
TL decks are FAAAR more consistent, and are pretty much always cheaper.
EDH is cool too though. I just have no EDH decks, but Slivers looks cool, and so do a few others.

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #17
but thats the opposite of what EDH was built for. it was made to prove you could do well without hyper-consistancy in your deck.
May 28, 2015 11:46 p.m.
No, EDH was designed by five friends who wanted to roleplay as the five Elder Dragons, and build decks in their colors. You have no idea if they wanted these decks to be as consistent as possible in the framework of a singleton format, or if they wanted chaos. Hell, some of em might have wanted different things depending on if they were using Nicol Bolas or not.
You can't make a blanket statement like "EDH was meant to be an inconsistent format" because you don't know if that's true or not. There were plenty of tutors available when the inventors of EDH invented it, and I would assume they were using them.
May 28, 2015 11:50 p.m.
I could win by fifth turn in EDH is I was lucky with opening hand and cards drawn into..

Commander is EDH. Just different name so that it would be marketable with no issues with trademarks.
May 29, 2015 12:04 a.m.
I'm not tryna be mean Derp, I like EDH as well. I'm just saying that you can't know what the creators of the format were thinking when they created it. You can like that it's inconsistent and that's fine, but that doesn't mean it was created to be inconsistent. For all anyone knows, the first EDH decks had elder dragons as generals, and every other card in the deck was 4cmc or less.

I got really bored and wrote a story in my deck description. I also changed the name after one of my friends lost to it.

Okay, so I've been pretty busy for the last couple days, so I caught up on a few of the pages.
It never occured to me how unoriginal your guys' names are.
And then, those with actually decent sounding names just had no idea about them, and threw some letters together.
Seriously guys? STEP YO GAME UP.

Yours is one of the worst.
Anyone can take the word "Derp" (which isn't actually a word) and turn it into a username.
No offense of course. :)

I was trying to figure out what I wanted my xbox user name to be about 4 years ago or so. It was taking a long time, and I was playing my didgeridoo. I also had Zippity do da stuck in my head for some reason.
So that is what I came up with.

If only when I change to HARDsofty then I'll be complete..
It'll take some time for when upgraded or whatever

Pretending that bendjohnson is jaden smith makes it more bearable.
