I lost a game earlier with randos to a mono white artifact & equipment heavy deck where his commander was swinging for 16 on turn 3. Neither of the other 2 players (white/black and green/black) played any artifact, enchantment or creature removal. And I mulliganed down to 4 so I was fucked from the start but only had a single counter spell. I had damnation in my opening hand and other removal. And this was bracket 4

So yeah Voltron can work great when people run zero interaction. I do think it’s a good way to win though you just need a lot of shit to protect the voltron…NORMALLY. (Even people aren’t being retards)

Hey if that other anon is still here from the previous thread I was wondering who between BL & R-on made the most realistic white bordered cards like FWB duals and English unlimited, and maybe a few black bordered English things from more recent Masters sets.

Not foils at all and mostly what would have been plausibly bought 10-15 years ago (to clarify it’s not for reselling or scamming but so I don’t get interrogated at games with a no proxy rule)
>>
>>97838413
Because in a rare bout of sanity WotC quickly learned paying life is a fake cost and it's doubly so in a format where people have twice as much starting life.
>>
>>97838413
Oh this intrigues me. My secondary deck, which is like a B2/B3 is a white/black tribal Knights with squall, seed mercenary as the commander. And it works really well and I use some other legendary black/white cards with it, but I know I don’t have a totally comprehensive list like for example this one’s new to me.

I recently modified it to make use of the multiples of Nazgûl mechanic and it’s cool. But I’d like a blue white black Esper knight commander to integrate horsemanship but I don’t want to use the Esper commander either eminence that is from a recent pre-con

>>
>>97838902
Not that guy, but have you never seen a light paws deck? She's an absolute asshole who follows a brain dead flowchart like >>97838907 points out. What's even more disgusting is that she can make herself immune to everything (Spectra Ward + Unquestionable Authority) AND still attach more auras. And that's if she didn't beat you to death on turn 3 due to the stupid double life gain and "you get +1/+1 for life gained" nonsense.

It doesn't matter what it is, and what the deck does, he just will say every voltron deck is completely trash and bracket 1, 2 at best. He does it every time.
>>
>>97838902
bracket 2 turn 4 swing 20/20 double strike protection from all colors and creatures
>>
>>97838919
It's an aura voltron commander that needs multiple turns of setup to actually be lethal and dies to any edict no matter how well it protects itself.
No doubt a strong casual option and pretty consistent, but if it gets hindered at all in its gameplan it basically auto-loses because can't recover as well as equip-based voltrons.
>>
>>97838928
>I always have it
>>
Bracket 2 doesn't mean random piles or 2017 precons, it means you can WIN (not take out one guy, win the entire game) by turn 8 and even a bit earlier on occasion when you get lucky.
Most "bracket 3" tables go for far longer than that, but that's because most people are bad players and even worse deck builders, or they play decks that are deliberately slow.
Easy, aggressive flowchart decks like Light-Paws seem stronger than they are because they actually perform to the specs of their bracket without having to think too hard, but the reality is that it's not actually a very strong commander in Bracket 3 and a complete joke beyond that.
>>
turn 1 ?
turn 2 light paws
turn 3 ?
turn 4 kill somebody
turn 5 kill somebody
turn 6 kill somebody win
lightpaws is definitionally the gold standard of bracket 3
>>
>>97838967
I mean yeah if the entire table runs zero interaction and doesn't target you and you also have a great starting hand on top of that, but that should be the exception, not the rule.
Most half-playable bracket 2 decks could win by turn 6 if their table was made up of training dummies that just let them execute their gameplan with literally zero interference, but because that's not the reality of playing the game it almost never actually happens that way.
>>
>>97838959
>It wins, and it can win fast, and its optimized
>Its bad though
Okay.
>>
>>97838993
if your deck can win by turn 6 it's not bracket 2
>>
>>97838994
It typically wins at the speed that a decent bracket 2 deck should win, yeah.
>>
Rog/Si isn't that good because if your opponents have interaction for Ad Naus on turn 1 (which they always will), you don't win.
>>
>>97838997
No, the bracket system states that you should be able to typically expect games to last X turns, which includes your opponents taking actions on their own turns instead of just letting you win without playing anything at all themselves.
Any grug-brained green bracket 2 deck would win by turn 6 if their opponents just passed every turn without playing anything or ever interacting, but because that's not how the game works, those matches almost always last much longer.
>>
>>97839007
Correct tardo, absolutely bracket 2.
>>
>when a tribal card seems really good and fun but the rest of the tribal cards dont hold up

>>
>>97838967
You can usually kill even faster than that if you're running Aetherflux Reservoir.
>>
>>97838994
Speed, complexity, and inflection points for interaction are different things. Light paws is bad, but it is a linear easy deck with a wincon, which is much better than a deck without a wincon, but lesser than a faster deck or a more difficult to disrupt deck with more easily defended inflection points, which are usually more complex.

If the Light-Paws player dedicates mana to protecting their commander instead of exclusively casting offensive auras every turn then they're also not actually killing people that early. So again, it's all fine.
>>
>>97839049
Anon, are you seriously arguing about the power of a voltron deck? If you are below that power level, your opinions on the subject have no merit.
>>
>>97839049
Okay so like what's the order of events you are imagining where super state comes out on turn 4 and oneshots the table?
Tell us which cards are being played to make that happen.
>>
>>97839054
>You can't play auras and hold up a single mana for white's buffet of single drop protection spells
.>>97839057
That's not an argument.
You can't say "deck is bad because removal by good players" and expecting the white player to have no interaction of their own. I get that you want to believe all voltron decks are bad because you lost to one once and are still super salty about it, but you need to stop being a retard.
>>
>>97839032
The splash damage from super state doesn't count as commander damage sadly.
>>
>>97839084
>>You can't play auras and hold up a single mana for white's buffet of single drop protection spells
You're talking about LP killing people by turn 4, let me know how that's happening if you're holding up any mana for protection? Retarded ass faggot.
>>
>>97839084
I can say whatever I want, and it is an argument. It's a linear telegraphed deck. Even the most pimped out light paws deck on bleeding edge technology would be stomped consistently by old off meta decks, and the average player should be able to deal with it at maximum power level after fairly minor deck revisions, at most. If you cannot, you are below that threshold, and are either really new or really bad, which means your opinion on the subject should be taken from the point of view of someone who struggles to deal with voltron decks, and likely has limited or extremely convoluted and ineffective wincons/interaction.
>>
Lightpaws would rape by regular pod. Everyone's deck "is a 4" but all the tutors, rhystics, sphinx's and necropotences in the world won't help you when you will never draw into an answer.
Its been two years, and they still haven't caught on that the reason I win more than them is because I have more than a single boardwipe for removal in my decks.
Lightpaws looks really, really boring though.

I've been beating them with a Vivi voltron deck for fuck sake.

>>
>>97839116
Not really, bracket 3 decks can actually be very significantly more powerful than bracket 2 decks, given that they're even allowed to win with 2-card infinites from turn 6 onwards.
Bracket 3 is actually a pretty powerful format, retards at many stores just build bracket 2 decks with game changers and think that's the ceiling of the bracket.
>>
>>97839130
Its not impressive, or meant to be impressive, the point is that its fucking sad.
>>
>>97839131
They're practically identical in terms of power level from a pragmatic standpoint. And no, bracket 3 isnt "a pretty powerful format". It's an eternal format, at the power level of an eternal format. Like bracket 2.
>>
>>97839131
>can be
The vast majority of them are "bracket 2 deck where I put in some game changers"
>>
>>97839151
Bracket 2 doesn't have 2-card infinites and its decks shouldn't be built to consistently win before turn 8, that's a significant powerlevel downgrade from bracket 3's limitations.
If you also factor in the stated intent of the brackets then a bracket 2 deck would be even weaker, bracket 3 decks are allowed to be almost completely optimized minus less than a handful of suboptimal includes, while bracket 2 decks are supposed to be significantly unoptimized even within the limitations of its bracket.
>>
>>97839158
Yeah that's my point, most "bracket 3" players should really just cut the GCs and move down because their shitty piles would get stomped by real bracket 3 decks and then they're gonna be mad.
>>
Yeah I blatantly pub stomp, what are you going to do about it?
>>
>>97839197
I never actually see pub stomping happens.
>>
>>97839168
Oh, it's this guy again. That's all nice and everything, but "intent" doesnt factor into power level, and lots of combos with more moving pieces are actually much more effective in practice, but harder to pilot compared to an AB combo deck with maybe 2 or 3 wincons and some form of streamlining. Also, not even cedh decks are optimized, they're usually designed by a crowd where basically no one is an expert or a professional at the deck, because it isnt required considering the variance in the format.

Maybe Wizards should actually make these cards affordable so I wouldn't have to resort to proxies
>>
>>97839630
The worst part is knowing if you custom built a deck that would be 14k it probably is still turboshit
>>
Query: Is there such a thing as a high (bracket number) and low (bracket number)? Or are there just good and bad bracket (number) decks?
>>
>>97839686
Brackets are arbitrary. There are just good and bad decks in brackets. Because the brackets don't control power very well.

But I dont feel the need to pretend to have cards I cant afford just to enjoy a children's card game; I guess that's the difference between us
>>
>>97839746
Oh boy here he goes again
>>
>>97839396
yes, because it will be a two card combo
>>
>>97839630
You dont have a printer bro?
>>
>>97839768
yeah bro lemme just pull an industrial grade printer and all that ink and all that card stock out of my ass
>>
>>97839783
>Print cards on a letter paper
>Cut it out
>Put a land in a sleeve
>Put cutout over it
Is this really a complicated process? The point of a proxy is that it's an approximation of the card you want, paying out the ass for fake cardboard just makes no sense.
>>
>>97839787
It does if you want AI generated porn or anime sloppa.
>>
>>97839796
Just... put those pictures onto the card...?

This thread gets way too angry about people buying proxies.

Say I brought picrel to the table. Besides the fact that it's a playtest card, why woudn't you let me run it?
>>
>>97839849
Because I have the ability to stop you from playing it. I have very little power in my life and I will abuse what little I have
>>
>>97839859

>>
>>97839849
didnt they make this into a real card? I actually would really like to make a high bracket deck out of this. white life gain tribal cats NOW WITH DOGS
>>
>>97839787
they dont let you play at game stores with this type of shit though do they? this is only kitchen table right? or I dont know I haven't done a sealed event since 2011
>>
>>97839925
and by sealed event I mean any non kitchen table or MODO game, ie haven't played at a card store since 2011
>>
>>97839630
hopefully they will soon. what site did you use, would they pass for real cards with all the correct info? I want to order some white border ones and shuffle them up a bunch for a couple weeks with bulk lands to make them have natural wear and then take them to local events without getting kicked out

you cant even use tournament edition cards or 30th anniversary though for that
>>
>>97839625
Depends. WPN stores can't let proxies through officially. Some players don't care, some do and just won't play with you (because it's important that you spent a couple grand on cardboard). If you're really concerned get some chinese counterfeits. I've been playing at WPN stores with those and no one bats an eye at them.

>>97839937
That website won't. Get something from USEA or the other counterfeiters. More expensive unless you join a group buy for 1k+ cards, but I've never had a problem after sleeving them. Looking at the backs of any of these or the sides (you can see the separation on 99% of these regardless of seller) will easily show they are fake. Fronts are usually fine especially while sleeved.
>>
>>97839255
Rituals are too explosive, they should be bracket 4, at least the best ones. Dark ritual is a game changer at minimum
>>
>>97839762
Play everything on curve and it happens turn 6, ergo b3.

>>
>>97839959
right on yeah I wanted to also buy a pack of smokes and hot box my car with cigarettes and the cards to age them.

this is what my cards from the 2010s are like since we used to sit around a big table playing magic and pokemon sleeveless chain smoking cigs in this big old house from the 1920s

plus I think it would just make the cards look more natural anyway, but I wonder how well those Chinese dudes can make both older unlimited cards and later 90's cards like force of will and chrome mox or mox diamond even. I guess I would have to see it to believe it

are you saying from the 'fitters the sides are bad or the cheaper "proxy" sites like you were just using? I thought BL and the other ones were like getting to be remarkably close in recent times. or is that only for certain cards ie modern ones, or 2000s ones or white border or what

ab-so-lutely

I dont run it in 5 color decks though because it's often not useful unless its an artifact deck. but its never not good
>>
>>97839289
buy these singles: Grim Tutor, Dark Ritual, Squall, Seed Mercenary, Lightning Greaves, Explore (possibly even Exploration), Brightclimb Pathway/Grimclimb Pathway, Lotho Corrupt Sheriff (surprised hes not in there actually), death cap glade, llanowar wastes, darkbore/ slither bore pathway, verdant catacombs, Godless Shrine, cave of kolios, black market connections, temple garden- you have the pain-land for green white its brushland, dark steel mutation, vindicate, anguished unmaking. PEST CONTROL oh yeah WRATH OF GOD

if grim tutor is too expensive and you won't use fakes, diabolic tutor but its pretty mana costly for what it is.

if you can only afford 6 id get
1. lightning greaves (alt: swiftfoot boots)
2. black market connections (alt: phyrexian arena)
3. Godless Shrine (alt: cave of kolios)
4. verdant catacombs (alt: llanowar wastes)
5. Grim Tutor (alt: diabolical tutor)
6. Wrath of God (alt: Damnation)
7. dark steel mutation (alt: vindicate, generous gift or oblivion ring)

and really you should get Temple Garden too
and honorable mention to Lotho Corrupt Shirriff since its in LOTR
>>
>>97840122
oh and if youre just gonna print proxies for your "mods" just do bayou, savannah, scrublands, city of brass, demonic tutor, vampiric tutor, land tax, fastbond , mox diamond plus some of the others I recommended, black market connections, dark steel mutation, wrath of god, vindicate

oh yeah and who could forget smothering tithe. get that for sure no matter what. (its a "game changer" but it will really hook you up)
>>
>>97837940
I'm trying to build a suite of 3 underrated generals (ideally under 1500 decks, NO UB & preferably less color overlapping)
whats are good control, prison/stax & aggro commanders?
>>
shit's retarded lmao
>whenever you cast an instant or sorcery, copy it
is basically what it says
been playtesting and copying Raise the past with any sac outlet in the field or yard is absurd
>>
>>97840235
once people catch on to the bs i recon only lorehold and quandrix will be allowed to live a turn cycle. Maybe prismari if you immidiately show your hand publically and it's actually dogshit

wow this is shit

well alright then

OUT OF THE RING
>>
>>97840235
You got a list? I've had a big issue with finding an Orzhov commander I actually want to play and this guy came across my radar recently.

My initial attempt was some retarded attempt to try and copy buried alive and reanimation spells to pull out haymakers.
>>
>>97838066
I wish he was Naya or Gruul. Black does nothing for the doubler gimmick, and if we aren't getting access to white's extra combat options it'd be nice to be able to make a more streamlined RG deck.
>>

This would be typical for Dimir but which Boros commander would best abuse this?

>>97840604
Probably one that makes tokens when things leave the graveyard.

Imagine actually thinking any kind of Vivi deck isn't just overpowered value slop

Ofc proxytards dont know what they're doing is removing the flimsiest excuses tcgs have to not be taken down for illegal gambling, i'm shocked i tell you

God I love the future sight border. It's so incredibly tacky while being cool at the same time.

>just spend $200 on disjointed goodstuff with little regard for the decks theme or main engine
>>
>>97840841
Yes. An average deck is around $500 and that anon was very nice offering to help in the first place. If you feel differently, maybe post how you'd help or what you do on a budget.

>>97840235
It pulls the deck in two different directions (aristocrats versus spellslinger) in colours that tend to have lack luster spell support. You build the deck around the commander and it doesnt work without him.

I don't need another reason. It's not a real card. But also, why play meme tribal?

ok
>>97839289
Your main theme are food, life gain, ramp. Pick up;
>Samwise Gamgee
>Lotho, Corrupt Sheriff
>delightened halfling
>three visits
>rampant growth
>kodamas reach
>jaheira, friend of the forrest
>vito, thorn of the dusk rose
>smeagol, helpful guide
>cauldron familiar
>kambal, profiteering mayor
>ygra, eater of all
>nuka cola vending machine
If you're going to bracket 3 like most people, you can pick 3 game changers. I'd personally pick
>the one ring
>bolas's citadel
>orcish bowmasters

Nah all izzet commanders are like that. You just have to ramp like crazy.
Storm on all instants and sorceries is insane, more than worth the commander
