One thing I've learned is to never take anyone seriously who says "this card is bad." Even if that's true, it's not generally true as time has shown almost every card can be good in a certain deck at a certain time. Second, that isn't the point of the format. It's to have fun and try new things, and be creative and play cards you like. If you're friends can't understand that then fuck them. You need to be playing decks at similar power levels for maximum enjoyment. If they are all trying to make good strong decks, and keep getting stomped by your bad cards then refer back to point one.
>>
>>97458822

>>97458851
Well, it has a few deterministic combo kills, but setting up the combo requires entering [EUROBEAT INTENSIFIES] with mystic forge biotransference type insanity as your life total slowly dwindles and you slowly realized the wrong half of the deck is showing up relative to your tutors. But this isnt the other version that is straight up kci second sunrise kci yawgmoth's will, cast 60+ spells in a turn.

I'm developing a theory. I found a significant overlap between "friends" and "people who are really, really bad at magic". Like, "I have to bring a budget bracket 2 deck to the bracket 3 table to not pubstomp everyone"-bad.
>>
>>97459022
Post your decks anon :D
>>
>>97458905
Glad you asked. It does a few things. There are three main combos in the deck: heliod balista (obvious, ends the game), that stupid blink cat from kaladesh and restoration angel plus a payoff, and paralax wave opalescence plus a payoff. The cat works with wave as well. The concept is to set up a flicker loop. Flicker the boys infinite times, impact tremors, laugh about it. Alternatively, any of the weird looking nonsense cards are usually payoffs of varying quality like molten hydra. That doesnt work? Get the big vagina demon or bonehording dracosaur out with zuko and just smash face with value until they die.

Now why this deck, why like this. My brother asked me to build him a stupid avatar deck with this card. I was mad. So I did. Everyone was on the impulse draw bandwagon, but I said fuck it and made this monstrosity.

This is not a combo deck. I know it seems like one, but it's a tempo deck. You have silver bullets, and usually your tutors are there to grab one and slow everyone else down. Apparently since I was gone people stopped running interaction, which is great for a deck like this. Wheel or discard your cards into the graveyard, do not give a shit about anything because nothing in life matters. Identify what will stop your opponents, or just make them discard cards so they need to waste time sculpting their hands. Then, replenish. Replenish will bring back your combo. If you mill replenish, past in flames. Most of your creature removal relies on bow masters and wheels or burning inquiry.

>>97458858
Yup, I feel that. Coming from legacy and vintage I mostly wanted to do crazy things, and they were all "if it isnt on mtgtop8 it's shit". I mostly shrugged about it.

Yes. That was the point. Hyper optimized? No. Not even remotely. Confusing? Extremely, and piloting it well versus piloting it poorly makes a massive difference. The mulligans alone are extremely punishing.

I agree, but it's also why I say there should be another bracket between 3 and 4. Sometimes you build a deck with a bunch of CG's but for whatever reason it's not strong like a 4.
>>
>>97458691
I just do my math fast, it’s not that hard. And when I take a really long turn is usually “the game ends now if X is not dealt with” type of situation. Teysa guy drives me insane, he does everything at a snails pace, is literally sleep indulcing (that’s what happens when you decklist and play someone’s else strategy and not something you thought on your own).
>>
>>97459249
>>97459258
I had one anon tell me no matter what it can't be strong, so probably bracket 4 strength isn't possible even if you throw all the syngeristic CG's on it. I still want to make one with him one day. I love the colors, the exalted mechanic and the one creature doing giant damage out of nowhere.

That's because certain strategies are too weak no matter how many GCs you shove into them (voltron will never be anything beyond b2), while heliod + ballista is cedh viable
Also there's no point in advocating for a 3.5 because then people would want a 3.25 so on and so forth, a line has to be drawn and gavin has already decided
>but i want my deck to be b3+
There's no shame in just being a b2 deck, b2 is the standard format of edh anyway
>>
>>97459416
>Also there's no point in advocating for a 3.5 because then people would want a 3.25 so on and so forth
And what would the criteria for that 3.25 be then?
>>
>>97459416
>voltron will never be anything beyond b2
this type of thinking is what 0 pussy does to a mf
>>
>>97459416
I think 5 is a bad number because the differences between 1-3 are so minor, then you get into nutso bonkers crazy land immediately afterwards if you run the wrong cards. I get having a soft banlist. Tiers? Not so much when there is no material difference.

But all this is an aside. I have never once seen anyone refer to the system IRL. Online? Obsession. Most people at the game store are in three big buckets: people who build what they have, people who buy stuff to be better, and people who also play formats where the floor is having everything already.
>>
>>97459394
Squall has a niche in bracket 2 wherein he's voltron while retrieving combo pieces and removal from the grave, he can kill the most threatening player and then kill the other two with a warren soultrader combo

>differences between 1-3 are so minor
And yet watch how many people tremble at the idea of primetime and aeons torn being GCs

>>97459434
If you cant imagine a 3.25 being justifiable well gavin thinks a 3.5 isnt justifiable either so there you go
>>
>>97459461
People will be mad about anything. Emrakul is a bit iffy because that opens the flood gates for all the sneak and show tin fins type stuff weaker players would explode about, prime time is a cool guy who doesnt afraid of anything, and neither really make a big difference in the scope of all magic ever when applied to EDH.
>>
>>97459486
>Emrakul is a bit iffy
So now you're seeing b3 having an identity and b2 will be safe from those shenanigans, not so minor after all huh
It's not like gavin is keeping this a secret, any 60card tournament grinder worth their salt wouldve seen exactly what kind of "meta" he wants for each bracket/"format"

No, actually. I think they're both hysterical over literally nothing?

Try playing a deck w/o any GCs first, your perspective is skewed
>>
>>97459553
This was meant for >>97459177
>>
>>97459533
It's true. Hate all you want, the fundamental difference between "cards are good" and "structure is relational, a deck is a system, and even great cards are only good in context for the amount of the solutions they provide relative to the solutions you have" is so unbelievably vast that it's almost impossible to move between them.
>>
>>97459572
You're too autistic to accept that any delienation from cedh is by definition arbitrary and it just so happens that gavin is at the helm
And even cedh itself is arbitrary, sheldon banned the moxes just because he said so, and imagine how ridiculous it is that contract from below is banned when cedh games are done fully proxied
>>
They should ban every card over $50.
>>
>>97459559
Oh? To the point and to skip the bickering, it wont make a difference. I can make a crazed combo deck without them, I can make one with them, it's about literacy and experience, not the soft bans. Problem solving can be taught, and magic is a skill.

>>97459585
Sure, I'm autistic, but that's not really relevant, and I aware this is the bait specifically selected for you so I'll leave it here. They are two VASTLY different methods of deck building that do not care about tier or soft banlist. However, a soft banlist keeps the strongest proponents of the methodology on the side where they get the most toys, until there is incentive for them to come back. Like prizes.

>I was wondering what the attitude around it was
the attitude is awful. I can't figure the opinions though.
>if someone is bringing a really thematic deck that is super suboptimal but has a couple strong cards
depends on what you mean by "super strong cards" as there is essentially a "this moves you up a bracket" list, but generally that would probably be 1 or 2.
>as say a midrange deck
depends on a lot.
here's the issue, "strongly themed at the cost of power" is 1, "about your average precon" is 2. unfortunately it's half vibes and half "how early do you expect to win the game;" with tournament cedh being "t0 wins acceptable," bracket 4 "threaten to win starting on turn 4," bracket 3 "win starting turn 6," 2 is "win starting turn 8" and bracket 1 anything past that.
>>
>>97459963
Imagine opining about brackets without reading gavin's latest update
>>
>>
>>97459965
anon I literally have the article open to reference the turn counts. 'average precon' is deprecated language because dumbasses can't help but say "but this one has a gamechanger in it," but if you can remember what 'average' means it still works.
also I'm not opining, I'm explaining the guidelines in different words so it's hopefully easier to understand.

Isn't Hasbro getting sued for fucking up the game? Hybrid mana really was the straw that broke the camels back. wotc won't fuck with the rules until that gets resolved
>>
I really hate how every card game seems built for longer turn counts but never actually pans out that way
Even in the weakest formats you'd never be able to hardcast shit like the Eldrazi titans without ramp, because games simply do not go long enough for them to be accessible
I don't like every 5+ mana card being permanently impractical

The best part about commander was the colour pie as a deck building description. And now it's the worst.

I would use "average precon" in any way shape or form regarding bracket 2 as the average precon is in fact weaker than the world shaper precon even without the gitrog darkmor infinite
What actually defines b2 is how incremental and telegraphed it is compared to b3, "whenever x do y" commander design is a good example

Back in the day, like 2012ish, the colour pie was a real limitation. You needed to know the mechanics, the flavour, and a giant card pool of elaborate work arounds. Multiple colours (beyond two) was unironically a massive drawback. Jeleva and Kess used to be top tier JUST because they were grixis and had somewhat of an effect. Colour fixing was expensive, difficult, inconsistent, and a legitimate drawback. 3 colour commanders were rare, sought after, and limited. Anything beyond that was unheard of.

Now? Every set has 3+ colour this and that. WotC slaps effects on cards just to get around restrictions. All the good decks are lots of colours and monocolour is a massive draw back. Deck building is too consistent. Colour fixing is effortless. Partners have been around for a decade and are uncontested on top of the shitpile because they get around colour restrictions with upside, and every single deck is just all the best cards slapped together with some mild variation. New problems that require solutions not allowed in the colour pie have cropped up, and they are gated behind 3+ colour decks that can do everything.

They need to remove the colour limitation and just get on with it; it is only a negative and doesnt matter in a functional sense anymore.

Excellent question. I don't know. Here's the source from the clawmark rune.
I took it to mean the difference in "horrific" and "unwelcome", implying horrific things aren't inherently unwelcome.
But I guess it could also mean the difference between the "Beast" rune and the "Clawmark" rune. Where beast is unwelcome while clawmark is inviting.
I do like the first interpretation more.

it's a lot clearer with both subjects, anon. remember that you're supposed to be able to rearrange clauses separated by commas in (nearly) any way and the sentence will still make sense.

>>97460029
Oh, it is. Long turns that dont go anywhere. Harsh mulligans. You will kill yourself if you arent careful. But I love it. Based on my playtesting, you win no later than turn 6. Usually around turn 4. Rarely before turn 3. It's like... well I dont want to spoil the magic, but that B warp guy that's blood artist also works with artifacts.

>>97460082
shitty idea they though of in a 10-minute meeting, just makes multiple hybrid cards an autoinclude in all mono decks
they need to print cards that are inverse-converge to actually encourage monodecks. print more high-commander-cmc-matters cards, things that reward high cmc commanders (and uses the lowest cmc among commanders you own/control, fuck you dargo)
>>
>>97460133

>>97460155
The deck is cool. Once.
>>
>>97460105
>>97460157
So, I take that the difference between Beast and Clawmark is the favored interpretation.
I don't think it'll look good to have the entire paragraph on the card, so I'll likely paraphrase it or look for another source of flavor text.
>>
>>97459920
Brackets are mostly a way of better enabling rule 0 talks instead of the "everything is a 7" that plagued the format before.

The main thing I would suggest is readily knowing and being able to communicate how quickly you plan to win, how much you will be interfering with other people's gameplans, and how hard it may be to set you back once you get going.


>>97460000
So far as I saw it was specifically about things like the high release volume undercutting the long-term value of the brand which was demonstrated by huge reported growth followed by losses the very next quarter. It's still being laundered under the terms of "fiduciary duty to shareholders" but could be enough to potentially reign in aspects of this absurd release schedule since it is in terms that Hasbro execs can potentially be forced to understand. That said I'm not super optimistic, going public is bad for any even remotely niche company.

If you have a trigger doubler, like roaming throne and someone triggers a creature of yours with ward, do they need to pay the tax twice?
>>
>>97460241
yes
>>
>>97459920
>I was wondering what the attitude around it was, like if someone is bringing a really thematic deck that is super suboptimal but has a couple strong cards
this is covered by gavin wherein he gave an example of a nicol bolas bracket 1 deck getting the pass to run bolas's citadel even though that card is broken as fuck
>>
>>97460241
Ward is a triggered ability, so it would happen twice and they would need to pay the ward cost twice.

90% of any given set is useless pack filler. That's not going to change just because it's UBslop.

>>97460310
>90% of any given set is useless pack filler
Said this a thousand times, but anon what the fuck do you think happens if they try to make 100% of cards busted?
The power level of the whole game goes up and still only the top 10% of cards see play and you continue to say that 90% of the set is pack filler.

You would have to be an actual diagnosable retard not to understand this.

In most of the series Omega is a superboss with the shtick of traveling through the Interdimensional Rift, kind of like what Gilgamesh does.
The XIV one is designed to be a perfect weapon that chased Midgardsormr from the Dragonstar to the game's planet because Omega's race (the Omicrons) genocided the dragons. It's trying to finish the job and use the WoL to optimize its combat skills but can't because it's in a setting where passion and willpower make you stronger, and eventually it learns that and stops trying to blast everything, or at least that's the tldr
Basically it has nothing to do with lands/nature and is no more Simic than Memnarch was, but they made it that way because the YoshiP card is built for landfall and they were clearly meant to be played together. I really like Omega so I'm a little bit sour about it still.
They COULD have gone for the OMG route, where you can find Omega's little drone peacefully exploring the world after completing that questline, and that would have sorta made sense with the land synergy, but it wouldn't have done anything to represent the franchise-wide Omega.

No. Both Rafiq and the Exalted mechanic have been powercrept out of the game. Needing a Voltron commander that relies on 8+ not good creatures/enchantments sticking to the board to get lethal is laughably bad in 2026. Even his strictly better replacement isn't great.
