We sit at 11,111 questions. That is all.

Re "How do other sites do it, if not that way?", It's not really an issue on SO because most questions are tagged with a language tag, and those already exist. I don't know about other sites.

SO has a ton of tags other than language tags and someone has to make them

I believe this site has had a few meta questions about this, answered with the solution I gave

It's also something that comes up all the time on Arqade because there are a lot of new games

yeah though the issue is when you have no tag at all for your question

on SO you always have at least one tag to post the question with, because you're always using at least one language, and you're almost certainly not the first person to need the tag for it

I think I found the canonical meta question from Arqade on questions with no existing tag : gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/813/…

@murgatroid99 of course i COULD win with the eldrazi, but at that point i'd just play animar or something. That just happens to be one of the best ways to win with battle of wits, which is what I want to do.

@CollinB It might just be me, but I find it pretty frustrating when an opponent could easily win but durdles around before actually winning. Though I guess it's not so bad if they're actually opening themselves up to losing during that period.

Honestly, I do understand the appeal of building a Commander deck that can win with Battle of Wits, even if it requires bending the rules pretty far.

But I would have serious doubts about the actual fun of playing with or against that kind of proof of concept deck

I remember years ago my friend built a "chaos" UR deck, with cards like Hive Mind, Eye of the Storm, Knowledge Pool, Possibility Storm, Confusion in the Ranks, and Scrambleverse.

It was an interesting idea, but the actual result was that you'd spend 20 minutes in a turn resolving 5 copies of Scrambleverse in a ~4 player game

We had a player with a chaos deck once. The winner of the group had Sylvan Library out, so they could cheat a lot of stuff into play.

That player stopped doing that chaos.

chaos can be really frustrating bc it takes so long to do things

i hate it when someone has clearly won, but refuses to end the game. This deck is easier to deal with if you think about it less like i'm prolonging the game and more like spawnsire has "20 colorless to put any amount of eldrazi into your library!" i can very well lose during that period, as opposed to someone who can't possibly lose, but refuses to end the game anyway

But Spawnsire doesn't put any amount of eldrazi into your library. You cast them.

So you get a ton of on-cast effects and presumably over 100 eldrazi creatures on the battlefield

sac, elixir of immortality

or terminus

I guess I can't really object that much to that win condition. It's basically "I probably win next turn by attacking with over a hundred big creatures" vs "I probably win next turn from Battle of Wits' triggered ability"

What gets me, really, is justifying a wishboard of over a hundred cards in a commander game on the basis of "I'm just doing something wacky that just happens to involve getting all of the Eldrazi ever onto the battlefield at the same time"
