I have been playing more and more with people that do not play EDH and as such, they end up playing with one of my decks. What commanders do you consider to be good for loaning to others? Some criteria I'm considering:

• Straight-forward. No complicated combos and a deck that obviously works with the commander.
• Minimal tutors. They don't know what to look for in it so it just burns time.
• Powerful. Maintain as much power as possible with a simple gameplan; I want them to have fun and do big things.

Based on these criteria, I am currently leaning towards Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, but I'd like to hear about all of your experiences and opinions. Thanks!

I want to make a cube of custom homebrew cards that just aren't functional, let alone playable. A few ideas that got me started down this path are:

Stumble - U

Sorcery

Counter target spell

and

Misguided Retaliation - 1W

Sorcery

Destroy target creature that attacked this turn.

Then obviously, either of these could be turned on by a Leyline of Anticipation, but on their own just aren't playable. What cards can you think of that are non-functional. The more complicated the rules scenario to get there, the better I think.

Or more in general, how does "attack if able" work in multiplayer games? If there are four players in a game:

• Alex has Propaganda on the battlefield.
• Barry has Savannah Lions.
• Christy goads Barry's Savannah Lions.
• Dave is mana screwed. Dave always gets mana screwed.

Who can or must Barry attack with the lions?

• Can Barry say that he's going to attack Alex, but then refuse to pay the cost and not attack?
• Or does Barry have to attack Dave in this case?

Thanks!

Has anyone ever done it? If so, what rules did you use for merging the draft rules and commander requirements?

My initial thoughts are:

• Still only draft 45 cards, because trying to meet the 100 deck-size requirement would take too long.
• Create a cube of 360 unique cards.
• Pack the cube full of legendary creatures to let players arrive at a commander naturally during the draft.
• Build several core archetypes with multiple potential commanders for each to facilitate this.
• I like conspiracies, so I'd include them.

I was previously able to set AllowAnonymousConnections to false and create a list of user under ServerUsers, but with 1.0, none of that seems to be sticking. i.e., I can only join anonymously, because it doesn't recognize any of the ServerUsers. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?

I like to build my commander decks in pairs where the two decks both compliment and compete with each other. This can be based on a variety of things, but I was wondering if you guys could think of any commanders that I can pair with Angry Omnath?

The Omnath deck is your typical Elemental Tribal/Landfall deck. So, I'd like to potentially get another Tribal deck in non-RG colors that naturally conflicts (or shares) the idea of land-matters.

Noyan-Dar is definitely on my radar at this point, but I was wondering if you guys had any other ideas.

Thanks!

I apologize if this is already well-known, but I was curious when the loot from Horadric caches is determined. When you complete the act and get the bag or when you pop it open? More specifically, can you farm caches on one character and open them on another to get the benefit of smart loot on that character? Thanks!
