Gtg back to work but I'll look at it. You want me to check how I can make it better or more janky?
warped flare
its not supposed to be too janky
just fast enough to be close to B3
i think the raceways are no longer in there but outside of mana base its mostly accurate

T6: draw 7, all lands. i am experiencing the same thing in my games
even tho my land count is already so low
i normally dont like the idea of including annihilator eldrazi, kozilek is the especially because it draws me cards
but the draws just never helps for some reason
i guess i now have the rakdos MDFC to add in
need little bit more ramp
or early fixing
or draw into land drop
[[$valakut awakening]] no way

duelist in (consider : cards i own) another deck that is more consistant with with getting high cost creature where this one may end up with smaller things. but the burn and card advantage is nice if i can get something that does both in here

i guess there are lot of down time for rest
so its kinda nice if oyu can withstand it
if i am doing something i like, i dont really get burn out
and i know most people get burn out
thats why i think it is bad to be over investing into a hobby and lose interest in it
so far, your "burn out" phase and "mentality change" of commander is all within my expectations 🤣
this is so stupidly expensive
those are things i would proxy without a beat if i want to play them
if i can fit it into the same deck using [[roar of resistance]] it would work nicely

each set dont really go down in price because of reprint
only the reprinted copy would be lower since the old copies get buries under collection and not circulate in the market
i guess 'excluding' older players sort of have that effect
reprints stopped being reprint long ago
warped flare
so far, your "burn out" phase and "mentality change" of commander is all within ...
actually i never know about the exact change in your mentality of commander, whats the switch from all MDFCs to less good stuff?
warped flare
i also figured out that something i've been doing "wrong" on the certain type of ramp/card advantage
because there is technically something we can call 'mana advantage' which is sort of what bounce lands are
they are not directly 1:1 like lands but closer to temporary mana like treasures
usually with enough tempo set back or loops to jumb through to get that extra bit of mana advantage
warped flare
[[champion of the path]] actually looks so strong as a budget terror of the peak?

actually i never know about the exact change in your mentality of commander, wha...
a mix of MDFCs being used for lands 90% of the time, and lowering my health to 25- before I even receive an attack. Also some MDFC enters tapped and that can kill my momentum. Case in point: I removed Bala Ged from my Bello because it completely killed my tempo and I lost because of it.
Couldnt get my 4-mana out on T3, which meant I didnt draw a card and had to curve out a turn later.

I always forget this exists for some reason, I guess I just rarely play 5 mana commanders
warped flare
lol
i dont like T3 on curve commanders
or i like when the commander isnt the first card that come out onto my board
novel bramble
warped flare
know about it already
there is also the mono blue playing all colours
i think this type of deck is more interesting to play against than to brew because of the limited card choice there is in the game
it doesnt really let me use anything i want as this type of deck building is restricted by that colour shifted old cards that will not get reprinted or future upgrades; so if you like old mechanic, able to afford any (important key) cards and fine with no new cards to add to the deck, its a nice janky machine type of fidge toy
ofc there is also my personal bias toward colours and i would probably say very different things if it is a red black deck

btw did you play that Vazi deck?
unless the deck is like 85+% plains its a really harsh condition that get overlooked for how good free reanimate seems to be

and its not like there are any crazy sheningans from obeka chaining upkeep or yavimiya into tons of land drops without green
warped flare
https://scryfall.com/card/vow/21/katilda-dawnhart-martyr-katildas-rising-dawn
i think the flying and big power part is okay, but it really depends on the number of spirits you have
less than 3-5 spirits the damage is kinda insignificant imo
since most of the spirits already have flying, i guess you need commanders double strike for some explosive damage
its probably better with the silverqur commander as a backup aura and a big creature to attack or block with
warped flare
i am thinking of ways to use [[storage matrix]]

do i want the 'nombo' as a piece to 'protect' something else such as the real synergy card [[awakening]] so that they cant destroy either one without giving me what i want

Hey man, sorry it took so long to reply; had a death in the close family so it has been pretty hard.
I never played that Vazi deck because I just didn't like how it goldfished, even assuming people would use up the treasure it felt like kingmaking instead of grouphug/slug.
If I were to proxy things stax wouldnt be my first idea lol. How dare you.
But Stax with a choice for the player is fine. Lots better. Sadly most of these are overcosted in mana imo.
I also been tinkering on Toph. Added some interaction and removed cards that I wasnt happy to draw. Replaced the One Ring with Rishkar's expertise too for testing
Ill probably reduce the amount of basic lands for better mulligans too, the deck manafix well enough that blood moon effects arent damaging me that much
I got screwed hard on colors last game
Maybe more fetches since it synergize well with toph
Or I go with Check lands

yeah, in mtg, people dont see that difference between 'hard lock' and 'soft lock' since they are all refer to as 'stax'
but most of the time the context, impression, and mechanical game play are all misjudged
mana denial is hard stax that stops the game from going, while certain conditions may shut down certain types of decks until a removal is found
i think the ones that force you to make different and potentially wrong decision due to lack of experience and forsight are the most interesting
giving some form of choice should be where stax brings MORE to the game rather than taking something away
warped flare
Or I go with Check lands
maybe
no worries, take your time to reply, everyone have irl life stuff to deal with
novel bramble
I'm going with fetches, tbh its not comparable considering it ramps with Toph and the deck run enough manafix to make them into actual lands anyway. I jsut gotta be careful to have enough fetchable lands
Do I put Urborg in though?
Might be good
10 fetchables, 7 fetches
I'll put in urborg instead of one fetch I think
