I can recommend Raffine as a very consistent aggro deck. Her innate looting means you almost always have the right cards for the situation you're in and you can run a true boatload of aggressive one drops with impunity. My list killed on turn 8 on average this past year.

[cunning spoke]

Thnks, guess i’ll upgrade my raffine left it gathering dust after a while

Dismantling a few esper decks since my resources are spread too thin too

[naive prawn]

If you build her aggro, I can't imagine there's that much competition for cards in other lists? A full 25 in my list are 1 and 2 drop creatures which rarely see play in other esper lists e.g., [[topplegeist]] and [[ingenious prodigy]] etc

Topplegeist <:manaw:1007102126813610074>

Ingenious Prodigy enters with X +1/+1 counters on it.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if Ingenious Prodigy has one or more +1/+1 counters on it, you may remove a +1/+1 counter from it. If you do, draw a card.

Here's my list: https://moxfield.com/decks/j_VN3I-gEUGxbbDwFUYxnw
Happy to let you know which cards are essential and which are there as pet cards etc.

It does require a decent manabase to ensure you have the right colors to play a few critters and then Raffine on turn 3 every single game.

[cunning spoke]

For me i mostly left the capenna stuff and added cards like waste not, bone miser, archfiend of ifnir. More focused on the discard aspect, and some cheap discard and draw like guardian of new benalia

[cunning spoke]

Niceni’ll take a peek after work

[cunning spoke]

Alright seffris and raffine think will be my main esper deck with aminatou blink on the side(idk i know she can be powerful but i build her weaker for my table but i think at this point i should go all out with thoracle and lab maniac)

And re do artifacts once ayara nekrons done

[cunning spoke]

Think concelead courtyard
Nombus maze
Morphic pool
And sea of cloud

Are the only ones i don’t have that are more then a dollar i’ll have to check when i get home

[tribal matrix]

Hmm good idea ty for that suggestion

[naive prawn]

Personally, I've rarely cast it, the deck doesn't generate enough mana for the x part to be very relevant and then a simple counterspell is usually just as effective in stopping a board wipe. All this to say, don't prioritize getting one

[cunning spoke]

I won’t i meant it more as in a general good card i still need

Did find my bloodghast tho so that was nice

[cunning spoke]

Don’t you just hate it when your building decks and you misplace the last card you put away y-y.

[wind wren]

Yes. Or when you remember a card that you KNOW you have somewhere but... that somewhere is not known

[cunning spoke]

actually that too, misplaced my underworld breach i was suppose to put in ayara rakdos, and when searching every deck and box didn't find underworld connection

[wind wren]

Hmmm yeah there are certain cards though that I make sure I know where they are... even while I sleep...

But it’s the other one furnace queen

Okay found my underworld breach and underworld connection can finally finish ayara

I checked every box EXCEPT the box of the last deck i worked on… cause it was an abzan deck but yeah mixed in the stuff i was separating in there

I guess she's neat in that you also get access to nonpermanents now. Idk if she's "absolutely necessary", Muldrotha decks were doing fine before Lier was released.

You can build in other ways to gain access to instants and sorcers in a Muldrotha deck

What are some overrun-like effects in Golgari that work from the graveyard?

[proper fiber]

depends on what you mean with "from the graveyard". does Reanimating a Cratorhoof Behemoth count?

[lunar slate]

I'm thinking more like unearth, flashback etc, where it's enough for me to have milled it

[unborn wyvern]

Whats the best way to get a good gauge on powerlevel. Im having a big debate with some buddies and outside opinions on the decklist I have would be appreciated

We are all experienced players but their perception on power level is heavily based on their local pods and lgs's, but as we all know spelltable and the "playedh" community have different takes

https://moxfield.com/decks/3AsmlFWSRU-cG3lJy4jhHQ

We cannot come to an agreement on this decklist

[wooden breach]

It's kinda hard for me to gauge too

Mostly because idk what your deck is trying to do

Are you using a ton of artifacts to abuse simulacrum synthesizer? like what's the gameplan

You definitely have tutors to go get your pieces, but I feel like if you're really really wanting to do artifact things you could honestly run urza as pilot

and there's cards in there that I can't for the life of me understand

Like why is wicked slumber in there

You've got very little counters to protect your pieces and slow opponents down, and the interaction you DO have is just bouncing stuff to hand

It's all in mono blue but with nothing to protect the all in

With the power level of the cards you have in there I'd say at best this is high power EDH

Not just casual but I doubt it'd take up space at a CEDH table

[cunning spoke]

Should i be worried i finally made a deck with a playstyle i been dying to do since i started playing and now i can’t stop making variations in different colors

Idk when i’ll be able to play with my pod but got 4-5 enchantress decks ready in esper abzan bant mardu and potentially five colored depending on how things go

7 if i make miracle aminatou and myrkul

[lunar slate]

better to know what you like and embrace it than force yourself to invest into a deck diversity that doesn't fill you with joy

just be aware that your friends are gonna start jamming bane of progress and friends more and more

[cunning spoke]

Tbh the fact they haven’t when i already made 3 variations on esper artifacts and they know i’m coming with ayara rakdos fling nekron

It’s their own fault

Hopefully ghen and ayara finally convinces the last one why graveyard hate is important her boyfriend always on her why she doesn’t run at least a bojuka bog

My true love is anything esper
But enchantment and enchantress in general have always been my favorite card type

That and planeswalkers but it’s specifically a few but i already got a sorta mardu deck done there and carth is just waiting for me to buy all the bear daddies planeswalker(garruk) to build him i got the important vraska’s and nissa and most lilliana’s

[wooden breach]

If you're having fun, you're having fun

[unborn wyvern]

@wooden breach the gameplan is just to drop as many artifacts as I can and either win with synthesizer or cyberdrive awakener. Im trying to run this in 7 power, am NOT trying to go higher than 8 so thats why you see a lot of goofy spells to double with kitsa's ability. The decklist is intentionally riddled with inefficiencies.

I played Teshar cEDH for 2 years so I dont know if my perception on artifact power is ruined, but I left so many good cards out, many you would expect to see in 8 power decks to keep this tame

[wooden breach]

Ah okay okay

I think you're in there, if not a little higher into the 8 ish territory

You can easily go and get the things you want to win, but you're kind of out in the open otherwise

[unborn wyvern]

Im glad someone else is seeing it the same way, ty

[boreal badge]

This is something I might be interested in doing as a commander deck just something I thought about angels are cool a I’ve picked out some cards I thought would be fun

Quick question, besides kamigawa have there been any more set with creature saga’s

Or is it saga creatures since they begin as saga’s

[cunning spoke]

Looks nice but i’d try adding in the human focused sigarda’s for more protections

The other one besides font sigarda i mean have both

And leinore too

Actually just all sigarda’s
Hero s grace protects humans with font and it’s always good to have repeated effects to improve your chances getting them

Host of heron since you already have dranith magistrate to avoid black shenanigans(and in this ones case it’s probably more flexible there’s always some sac shenanigans people have to answer. Trons or indestructible)

Champion of light is just really good in human tribal

38 is a great number, you could even cut it down a little more if you utilize the cards that allow you to play lands from your graveyard like ancient greenwarden, crucible/conduit of worlds, walk in closet etc. that’s what I do with my Omnath deck and it’s absolutely amazing

I'd recommend adding in a few more lands. A deck like this that wants to consistently hit their first ~6 or so land drops really wants closer to 36 lands than 32. Miasma Demon, Fear of the Dark, Horrid Vigor, Frantic Strength, and Torpor Orb would all be good cuts

[proper fiber]

generally any color combo with green and white in it will be decent with an Aura gameplan, since you just have the most options for synergy pieces. While I'm not sure if there's a specific commander in abzan or bant that cares about auras, you can probably make it work regardless by sheer vortue of being in the prime enchantress colors

That would very much depend on how much spare cash you have in your pockets.
Optimized 5 color mana bases tend to get pretty expensive

If you're building on a budget, what I would recommend is running mostly green mana sources with a few of the other colors, and then lean heavily into green land ramp spells to fetch the other colors you need.

[modest moss]

Alternatively, you can just build [[morophon]], who also happens to work well with progenitus, and that largely solves your problem with color fixing, just need whatever ramp you can afford

The deck this is for is a mono black slivers deck with [[Gisa, Glorious]]: https://moxfield.com/decks/8sJYaBQYaUKP9Dp6D31_Cw

[rare escarp]

https://scryfall.com/card/mid/103/gisa-glorious-resurrector#rulings

Rulings for Gisa, Glorious Resurrector

2021-09-24

Because creatures controlled by opponents aren't dying due to Gisa's replacement effect, any "when [this creature] dies" triggered abilities those creatures have won't trigger.

2021-09-24

Gisa does not grant haste to the creatures that are returned to the battlefield, so you normally won't be able to attack with them the turn they are returned.

2021-09-24

If a creature your opponent controls would die and more than one effect would cause it to be exiled, that opponent chooses which one to apply. If the creature is exiled due to some other replacement effect, it will not be returned to the battlefield with Gisa.

2021-09-24

Decayed represents a static ability and a triggered ability. "Decayed" means "This creature can't block" and "When this creature attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat."

2021-09-24

Decayed does not create any attacking requirements. You may choose not to attack with a creature that has decayed.

2021-09-24

Decayed does not grant haste. Creatures with decayed that enter the battlefield during your turn may not attack until your next turn.

2021-09-24

Once a creature with decayed attacks, it will be sacrificed at end of combat, even if it no longer has decayed at that time.

i have this enchantment deck that i really like playing, but it kinda need a last touch in order to smoothen some things out
https://moxfield.com/decks/QS-GzUsn1EubTrq4vwNGYw

the goal of the deck is to do enchantment stuff and maybe get the game basically locked up with a solemnity, phyrexian unlife, delaying combo, to eventually cast omniscience and a card draw engine. then start casting all the enchanchantments i can get my hands on while a lot of tokens are being created from cast triggers like third path iconoclast or murmuration, together with impact tremors.

The biggest problem I have is finding omnicience cosistently and a card draw engine to continue the omniscience train (surprisingly getting enough mana to cast omnicience is not that difficult in my experience until now)

The thing is that I don’t really want to add more tutors than I already have while I still am on a budget

heya. im trying to pinpoint the Bracket of my Mayael deck atm. Its either 3-4. out of the game changers it has OG Vorinclex and Smothering Tithe. It is quite optimized and has some other "swingy" cards liek Blightsteel, Craterhoof, and Wordly Tutor

is the moxfield bracket system already in alignment with wotc's?

I feel like they mislabled my rani goad deck as bracket 2 even though it's doesn't have any combo or extra turn?

https://moxfield.com/decks/Db17uY6nWkm2Od4iiVMo6Q

[vivid lily]

it at least is tracking the gamechanger cards

[proper fiber]

In the settings you can manually set the bracket or set it to autoestimate

Honestly I'm not really sure where the cutoff between 1 and 2 is

to me a 1 sounds more like either a "random cards" deck or one with a very heavy theme over a functional strategy

[cunning sail]

ahh i see thanks for the info

[proper fiber]

so, anything with at the very least a coherent strat would probably be a 2

a 1 sounds more like "I only play cards where there's a person wearing a hat on the art" or something

[cunning sail]

from the description in the article the only thing that differs from 1 and 2 is just extra turn cards, so im just wondering what exactly are the terms for it to be a 2 or 1

[proper fiber]

maybe the tutor is what pushes it?

you have tamiyo's journal

imo the lines between 1/2 and 4/5 seem very vague

maybe that's ok, i feel like 1s should be able to play with 2s

[cunning spoke]

I have a few questions for a deck i’m building

What’s the difference between stax and pillow fort? Is it just that pillow fort focuses mostly on avoiding being attack and punishing aggression towards me? While stax is just punishing everyone for anything?

[proper fiber]

Stax is basically just resource denial

Generally anything that makes spells cost more or prevents mana sources from untapping/being used etc is considered to be stax

pillowfort, as you said, is moer about preventing interaction with you specifically, mostly by preventing attacks, but it doesn't inherently impede other people's gameplans or taking away resources

[cunning spoke]

Alright got it so when i search edhrec i gotta go for pillow fort then

It’s a orzohv tomik deck but i wanna focus more on the pillow fort aspect

But will the affinity for planeswalker reduce the commander tax ?

[proper fiber]

yes, affinity can reduce commander tax

[cunning spoke]

Last question is if there’s a lot of cards with similar effects to trouble in pair

That punish players for drawing more then once, specifically pingers so i can play around howling mine either they get burned down for attacking me or passively by group hugginess of white giving everyone advantage

Also just pingers for attacking me too like tomik

[proper fiber]

there's a hand ful of cards that just punish card draw in general

Looking for some quick input/opinions. Is Iso-Rev combo playable in Bracket 3? I think at first youd think not because its 2 cards for 2 mana but also it requires setup for your nonland mana and payoffs before so with the setup time it becomes viable in Bracket 3? I dont know if i should run it in my azorious Spellslinger deck because of this so I wanted to see what others thought.

no its more then that as it needs atleast a sol ring in play to net even then you need stuff to do with the mana but i decided against it as i run a couple tutors which do hit dramatic reversal so i would rather not be like oh its a free win as often and use them as a tool box picks like i want to.

This will be a 2 part question. Firstly, I’m looking for Historics(preferably) or enchantments that have similar effects to Helm of the Host, Mycosynth Lattice, or Panharmonicon. Any suggestions are much appreciated! I already know about Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines and Gandalf the White that both have similar effects as Panharmonicon, but any others for these effects would be fantastic!

And secondly, I’d love if anyone wants to check out my deck and I appreciate any feedback you have. I don’t have many cards, so I’m somewhat limited in cards I’d like to have, and I’ll certainly be updating this deck as time goes on and I acquire better cards for it.

Hi all

I am building the new Aetherdrift Zombie deck, and I was wondering what the most optimal way to go with it would be

For instance, the core of the deck seems to imply a lot of cycling as an option to trigger the commander

But would I be better off removing these cycling cards for pure blue card draw (I already have brainsurge so we would be talking stuff like Opt or Consider now, whatever is instant speed really)

Or would I be better focusing on cycling for the option diversity

Hey folks, I just brewed up my first storm deck and tried it out on untap, predictably I stormed off and on a turn that took at least 15 minutes which resulted in a game win and thankfully most of the opponents seemed okay with it.

However, just a general question, do storm decks bother you. Should I not put this deck together in paper?

(Obviously in paper I would sit at home and practise this deck by myself until I could operate it at reasonable Proficiency however I expect there would continue to be long turns just due to the nature of the mechanic).

[cunning sail]

Personally I think storm decks and other solitaire style decks are fine as long as you can track your own triggers and finish your turn as effeciently as you can.

My friend had a [[bria, riptide rogue]] storm deck and the biggest criticism our pod always has is how he tracks his triggers. For example he always forgets either the prowess triggers from bria/[[balmor, battlemage]], [[artist talent]], [[ral, crackling]], etc whenever he would try to storm off.

This makes it very frustating whenever he bricked his turn because he forgot his artist talent triggers could've cycled his hand, or he would've had his ral's ultimate and could give every single cantrips he casted afterwards storm for more triggers if he hadn't forgot and we're forced to replay the turn just for his win.

15min turns is totally fine imo, just don't be like my friend that takes atleast 30 min to an hour just to finish his storm turn 😂

Now my Goblins are like bracket 5 in their Goblin dreams lol

[wooden breach]

It's bracket 4 because you have more than 4 game changers. Other than that this seems like a typical 3, maybe 3.5. It's optimized and has cards that work well for your gameplan, but no super fast ways to get there, especially with your mix of lands and ramp

For your mono blue list

[wooden breach]

Krenko can be cEDH playable...if you optimize to the meta you're going to be playing in. Combo decks like this want to be doing 2 things:

1. going off ASAP
2. making sure they're safe to go off
   And in Krenko's case where you can't counterspell, that means stax

Hey, I was thinking of taking out [[Aggravated Assault]] & [[Shared Animosity]] for [[Price of Glory]] & [[Stranglehold]] for the enchantment changes. As for the artifacts, I'd choose [[Sword of the Paruns]] & [[Ashnod's Altar]] for [[Damping Sphere]] & [[Defense Grid]]. Are these good switches or should I switch [[Phyrexian Altar]] in the switch?

I'd definitely keep at least one altar, and out of the two altars Ashnod's makes more mana

Phyrexian altar makes less, but like skirk prospector you can go infinite if krenko has haste and you have enough goblins on board

Think about how you want to win with this deck. What cards are part of your win? What cards don't do anything for your win?

Any goblin tutor is part of your win cause you go and get a haste enabler and skirk for mana

my skeletons don't really have ETBs so cloning them isn't the most impactful thing, and a lot of these options aren't very mana efficient, but at the very least they generate a little bit of board presense when skeleton crew isn't available.

I recently got a cheap $4 [[Time sieve]] from an auction and I'm planning on using it in my Rani Goad deck.

https://moxfield.com/decks/Db17uY6nWkm2Od4iiVMo6Q

The deck was a bracket 2 (swapped out gossip's talent for time sieve), and I was planning on using time sieve as just a sacrifice outlet and taking extra turn as a huge bonus.

I thought this would bump it up to a bracket 3 but reading discussions online, seems like if there's a chance that the time sieve can be used to chain extra turns but not as a guaranteed infinite people sees that as bracket 4.

Should I just slap in a thopter assembly to make it a part of infinite combo then? Feels kinda weird how the card usage went from a sac outlet and occasionally taking some extra turns into actually using it as a 2 card combo just to be able to fit in bracket 3 instead of 4.

[west fjord]

bracket 3 as you don't have any ways to get out a niv before turn 5 except for sol rring. If you added fast mana in the form of artifacts or rituals and more free spells you could push it to bracket 4

[wooden breach]

There's enough interaction to slow down the table for a Niv to come in

[west fjord]

yeah but just bracket 3 stuff

if you're tapping out on turn 5 for niv and plan to start doing stuff on turn 6 then its a bracket 3 deck

however if you cast some red rituals to make mana and can cast niv with some mana up on turn 4 or so and immediately burn the table then that is more bracket 4 shenanigans

[wooden breach]

Idk if you're ever tapping out for a commander in higher brackets unless it's your win and you have abolisher out

That's just asking for a blowout, especially with a Niv at the helm

But you're not slick I see the mizzix

[west fjord]

so if you're not playing niv on turn 5 because you worry about a blow out then it becomes turn 6 or later than niv comes down. That's definitely bracket 3 territory by then, no doubt about it.

[onyx ice]

I purposely avoided putting in rituals cause in my group I tend to pop off first which directly leads to me being killed first lol. I’ve also heard people refer to 3 different levels for bracket 3, low, mid, high

[west fjord]

i tend to make reference to high and low within each bracket. One aspect of Brackets is that a deck should be able to play up and down 1 bracket but in practise I find that it tends to be closer, but not exactly, either or, by which i mean, for example, a bracket 3 is a "high" bracket 3 that can enjoy a table with bracket 4's but will probably roll over unmodified precons or a "low" bracket 3 is vice versa. Also matters a lot what the actual match up is especially when some strong decks can be durdly and some weaker decks can be comparatively fast, especially if they get some good draws.

this stuff will also change a lot depending on the local meta and how good people are at building decks and playing those decks and nagivating the politics of commander. I try to have a broad view by playing a bit on spell table and also visiting different local game stores in my city. I was also lucky enough last year to travel to the states and japan and get to play at some LGS' there in some different cities.

[keen eagle]

4 because the combos are pretty possible t5-6 with a good hand

[keen eagle]

idk if Id count not comboing before turn 7 because you could choose not to lol

it’s entirely possible with ramp, and in upgraded precon territory theres not many decks threatening a win that early

[west fjord]

to combo before turn 7 you need ramp which makes it a 3rd card (besides land) in the combo which is perfectly fine. It's only 2 card comboes before turn 7 that are a problem.

[west fjord]

"choosing not to" is not a criteria for brackets. Either the cards are a 2 card combo or they aren't.

[lime pivot]

Stretching the definition of 3-card lol

To play thassa's oracle demonic consult u need like 3 lands or sth is it a 5 card combo now? XD

[lime pivot]

I think this is a weak 4 - multiple resilient 2-card combo lines make it hard to call it a 3

[west fjord]

2 cards at turn 7 is fine. How do you do the 2 card combo before turn 7 without adding extra cards?

[lime pivot]

all it takes is a single mana rock, of which there are several in the deck. there are many possible paths to niv visionary on turn 4 or 5 followed by niv parun (uncounterable) or equivalent the turn after or, if you prefer, niv parun/firemind first and then a cheaper curiosity (maybe even on the same turn) - this deck can reliably do 2-card combos before turn 7, and they are 2-card combos, because you don't count random ramp pieces which help cast the combo as part of the combo

all I'm saying is if someone told me they were playing a 3, and it was niv mizzet combo, and they got a kill on turn 6 and said "haha it's legal because this arcane signet I played on turn 2 is part of the combo 😁" I'd just never play with them again

[onyx ice]

Is the deck really that strong? It’s only got one tutor and outside of Visionary it’s weak on card draw. Even in goldfishing a t6 kill is very rare and the 2 card combos are mana intensive being 10-12 total with a ton of set up

[lime pivot]

i think the risk is it's in that danger zone where when the early kills happen people at the table will feel bad about it but it's not actually very good compared to decks which can consistently produce those early kills

lemme try goldfishing it

[lime pivot]

first game i goldfished put niv-niv on board turn 6, no way to trigger the combo but it's poised to go off whenever someone next casts an instant/sorcery or failing that your next draw step

didn't even draw a mana rock, just used [[offer you can't refuse]] and countered my own spell for 2 treasure which provided the needed accleration and mana fixing

at least one player kill on turn 6, probably 2, just via comboless burn stuff

idk. it might be fine

feels good to play though!!

[west fjord]

In this scenario you're leaving a Niv Mizzet on the battlefield for a whole turn cycle and it hasn't been removed. Maybe play more removal?

[lime pivot]

depends what combo ig!! if it's parun + curiosity could pretty feasibly be the same turn. and even if it is 2 nivs, at a table of all 3s it's a gamble whether anyone has removal in hand or not. I do think it's in very strong three or very weak 4 territory

@onyx ice u should probably just jam it a few times against whoever you're planning to play it with and see how it holds up against their 3s

[onyx ice]

@lime pivot @west fjord thank you for your input. Will keep this in mind when the deck comes in for the pregame conversations

[lime pivot]

this might be indicative that you could afford to be mulliganing deeper than you are?

like, I don't know if you're doing this but in case you are, u don't have to snap keep a playable hand on 7, u can dig a bit for one that has the gas

I was doing that in my testing but obviously if you do want to slow the deck down you can just choose not to do that xD

[onyx ice]

My group plays with a different mulligan rule, draw ten keep 7, you’re right tho I often keep “safe” hands rather than digging for gas

I just hate becoming the Archenemy all the time

[lime pivot]

ooooh that's interesting

[west fjord]

Yeah I put it in bracket 3 territory. No relevant tutors for parun or curiosity I think so that turn 6 play (assuming a signet) would be in the vicinity of 2.25% or less than 1/40 games. Not to mention requiring not missing a land drop and having a perfect izzet split pushing it down even more.

I am new to Magic.
First time trying to build my own commander deck and I was playing around with scryfall using different filters to find a commander that interests me.

I love Esika God of the tree because of her nice ability, cheap cost and that I can backside as a powerful enchantment.

I wanted to ask what will be a good strategy to follow for this deck. I think I would want to fill it with lots of legendary creatures and planeswalkers.
Any suggestions and recommendations?

that guy was a dick

[molten nova]

I played it out and got hit with "a dual land? i thought we were playing casual" and it's been living in my head despite it being many months since it happened. it makes me really paranoid when I'm deckbuilding that I might stumble into another one of those scenarios since I don't really have a defined scope of what a card's true power level is. the GC list helps in that regard since I can avoid the outliers and try to keep my decks to bracket 2 levels but outside of that list I'm hella lost on measuring a cards power in a vacuum

[robust plover]

You're not going to really get a feel for it until you play more and see things/playstyles/decks/synergies, etc. Did you remind him that most of the non basic lands are dual lands (albeit, not as good as the OG dual lands since there's usually a cost (life, entering tapped, etc)). Nobody for a minute is gonna pull something like that if you play an [[exotic orchard]] which, if you're going 3rd or 4th, might arguably be BETTER than an OG dual land since you might have all 5 colors you can tap for with it...

[robust plover]

what a ridicuous, unserious person.

your deck, as a whole, determines it's power level. It's not like you were doing a turn 1-2 infinite combo... IMO, if you run into that in the future, don't worry about it. Ask them what they mean, explain how your deck IS a casual deck, and depending on how that goes, just don't play with them again.

People can be real wierd. I've had people refuse to sit down and play with me with an unaltered precon becuase "that's a bit higher power level than we're looking for." it was the food LOTR precon. Literally one of the most middle of the road precons for power level.

i'd also be cautious of people like this, as in my experience, a high proportion of them tend to misrepresent the power level of their deck in order to ensure that the win.

The idea would be to flood the board with Changelings then re-animate my Flagbearers if need be to have the effect in play

I can also make my commander become one of the flagbears then equip it with something to give it Hexproof to keep it safe while my other Flagbears swallow spells and abilities.

It's a bit "stax" but I think it could be interesting

[keen eagle]

breaker of silence, makes you work less and comes with a free commanders plate. Pretty hard to interact with besides a boardwipe but even then a snakeskin veil and they just wasted 4 mana

[lime hedge]

As long as I have 2 mana up isn't also really hard to destroy unless it says cannot be regenerated?

I'm not trying to argue if that's what it seems like I'm just not understanding why one is better

Cause I see a lot of people who say breaker of silence is better but hexproof is better, and as long as I have 2 mana regenerate works the same as indestructible as long as the spell doesn't have "can't be regenerated" which is harder to find than just casting a board wipe not in the turn of the owner of Thrun.

Yes The Last Troll doesn't have trample but giving a creature trample in green is so easy.

[wooden breach]

Indestructible is way more potent than regenerate

That, and breaker has way more potential to voltron since he starts with more p/t and already has the built in trample

Instead of adding voltron pieces that give breaker trample you get to cut those in favour of more powerful cards

[lime hedge]

Oh I see

That does make sense

[wooden breach]

You have a point that trample is easy to get in mono green but with breaker you don't have to worry about that in the first place

And regenerate means that you always have to make sure you have the mana open to pay it in case a boardwipe or something comes down

Last troll is better at protecting himself with hexproof + regenerate, but breaker lets you pack more punch. No wrong answer either way, but in terms of punch face breaker is better

And that's more or less all that voltron wants to do

Finding a new home for Ob Nixilis Reignited. I kicked him out of my Willowdusk deck in exchange for Tyvar Jubilant Brawler and I’m wondering if he’d be a better fit in my Temmet deck or my valgavoth deck. My Temmet deck really struggles with life gain so that’s a con but the entire deck is based around card draw to buff zombies, so in that way it’s good, but valgavoth struggles with card draw and his ultimate compliments her super well, but I don’t know if having Nixilis out will really get the chance to shine if the opponents realize what the ult does for me

trying to do budget cats for my niece. needs interraction and more card draw, but it's tricky to fit stuff without stifling the identity/budget. https://archidekt.com/decks/12190917/budget_cats

ngl, kinda wish wasitora just made the token, but the effect could be countered by that opponent saccing a creature.

rather just get a token honestly

[lime hedge]

Yea you're right. The Last Troll is better at sticking around assuming you have 2 mana up, but Breaker is just a bit more suitable for voltroning your brains out

[sage horizon]

Hey guys, my friend can play video games but when he found out about the final fantasy set he really got into that and so he pre-ordered one of the decks. He wants to play commander and so I was explaining to him what a Voltron deck is because he chose to purchase cloud. Now I made a cloud deck I’m not going to play it or anything. I just want my friend to see what a Voltron deck is or how to work it and what he thinks of it but I would like to know what you guys think of this build right now. Should I do something with this deck? Should I take some things out and if so, why and what should I put in?

[keen eagle]

you are severely overestimating regenerate and how hard it is to hold two mana up forever and also win

[lime hedge]

I'm more so putting emphasis on a cheaper creature, and hexproff. Regenerate is just a good bonus since it's not dependent on it being my turn

However I have lamented that Breaker of Silence is over all better tron

[keen eagle]

I think protection from nongreen is going to be better a good amount of the time since it means you also dont take damage from those sources, but I get you

the one mana can be a real difference

good luck with your trolling

[lime hedge]

It's not protection from non green...... what are you on about

[keen eagle]

oh righ tmb

[lime hedge]

Protection means I cannot block the breaker of silence with my non green creature. The breakers is just a worse hexproof since it can be the target of things like assassin's trophy

And I wasn't trolling I was asking a question, got proving wrong and admitted I was wrong.....

I wasnt trying to call you a troll hahaha sorry

I see how you would interpret it like that

Ohhhh I see now lol that is a funny joke

I just ran a game with Mt Breaker of Silence

My opponent had so many death touch creatures. Yea breaker of silence for sure better

Hey guys, also if you guys take a look at my Ultron deck, I wanna ask if you guys can let me know is this a bracket three or four?

[vestal summit]

if you have to ask it is likely a 3 ^^ bracket 4 typically includes fast mana, cheap tutors and interaction, stax, and easy/fast combos

[sage horizon]

I'm asking because my friend thinks it is bracket 4.

[vestal summit]

what turn does it win on in a vacuum?

[sage horizon]

That varies on my opponents. I don't believe this is a combo deck. This no Krenko deck

[vestal summit]

ok, well on average when does it win

how people interperet the bracket system is wildly different but I can say with pretty high confidence that this is a high 3 at best

[sage horizon]

That is what I was saying too! I thought this was bracket 3. This is what he said "Looks like a well built tuned bracket 4 Voltron list, which is rad but the general pod on Mondays is usually going for brackets 2/3 or a full blown cEDH game. That bracket 4 zone is hard to get going"

[vestal summit]

most likely because you are running mox opal, fast mana is pretty frowned upon below bracket 4

[sage horizon]

This is a new deck. It's like I said it varies on my opponent. I play test against my Atraxa deck, my Octavia deck and my Hashaton deck. It's tough. I haven't played at LGS because that card isn't out yet.

[vestal summit]

I mean, maybe if you are playing in person bracket 4 just means high powered bracket 3 lol

online it basically just means off-meta cEDH decks

if you aren't winning by 4 or 5 in a vacuum its probably not bracket 4

[vestal summit]

did he playtest it? its generally good to just go based on how it feels based on the power level of the table

[sage horizon]

The guy at our pod said we run 2/3 is BS because he usually runs his Goblin deck and I swear his stuff isn't bracket 2 or 3...

[vestal summit]

idk lol, its a casual format but I would just try to look at winrate and how everyone at the table is reacting to it

if people are consistently salty and saying it is too strong, it probably is

This is what I have been testing it against Cloud

[vestal summit]

did you play him and stomp bracket 3 games? I don't really understand why someone would say it is a 4

[sage horizon]

Cloud hasn't played live partly because its not out yet. I'm going to start playing on untap.in soon

[vestal summit]

fair, I would go based on that. also, I think if you are concerned about people assuming the power level of your deck I would cut some of the really generic staples for better synergy pieces

[vestal summit]

I can say w/ pretty high certainty it isn't a 4, at 5 cmc even with the absolute nuts you are getting him online on 3, and the deck has almost zero resiliency against interaction
