TQ: Ever had a falling out with a friend over a game? how was it resolved?
>>
>>98503696
>TQ
I wouldn't call it a falling out but I used my Rat deck to mill out a friend with Altar of Dementia and he decided he was going to just go after me with his Edgar Markov deck. Instead he went after a 13 year old girl the entire game because she used Kaalia. It was so bad that she didn't want to play anymore and everyone dug into him about it.
>>
>>98503696
>TQ
No. I have certainly thought less of people for how they play, like using removal because they have it so they "need to" even when there's no good targets, or a player preconcieving what a deck is based on the commander and hard-targetting that player as a result despite the deck not doing what they think it does at all, or netdecking b4 decks just in general and bringing them to our high b2 low b3 game.
I don't hate any of them for any if these things, I just think less of them-- like my coworker saying he told his wife she should do onlyfans. I don't hate him, but I definitely think less of him for it.

Not a falling out, but my friend who has been playing Magic for 20+ years has gotten increasingly aggressive about "slop." His definition of a fun Magic card these days is effectively a bulk French vanilla uncommon, and he now runs strictly bracket 2 lists. If you run anything remotely strong he'll call your deck slop.

It's not like a fight or anything, but he's getting whinier and whinier as a person as time goes on.

Over a single game, no. I had a pretty big fallout with a friend over proxies though.
>He brings up to the group that he is getting bored of his decks, and wants to try new stuff but doesn't have the money to spend to buy cards only to find he doesn't like the deck. So lets proxy. He suggests, that we only proxy cards we will actually buy or cards we own that we don't want to buy duplicates of. Everyone agrees.
>Next week he shows up with a proxied Omnath, Locus of Creation deck.
>First play he plays a true dual and exploration, plays a fetch to get another true dual
>"So, are you actually going to buy those true duals?"
>"Of course not."
>Get into an argument because it had only be a single week and he already broke HIS OWN TERMS for proxy use in the group.
>:"Well you know, CEDH proxies bro, they're just lands!"
>Eventually he agrees to take them out and keep up with the agreement.
>Things go well for awhile.
>Everyone is doing what the said they would do. He got a better job, Now is replacing all his proxies with real cards. 7 real copies of Rhystic and etc. Which is fine, its his money, not like we aren't copying or staples either.
>After he finishes his last deck, comes to the group and says "I think or proxy usage is getting out of control. We should just go back to using real cards."
And, that went as well as you would expect with everyone and he stopped coming after a few weeks of tense sessions.

Then you just swap it from deck to deck but do it slow so that you make everyone wait 5+ minutes

Proxy use should be binary in regular pods for this reason.
Either all the way in, or none at all.

>>98504116

>>98504116
The only vaguely reasonable argument against proxies is that fags have no self control and will print power instead of building fun decks. Like that Edea deck a few threads back going ham with lands.
>>
>>98504136
It was just the lands? That is how you determine power? May I see the deck?
>>
>>98504137
>That is how you determine power?
For a bracket """""2"""" deck, yes. a 2k dollar landbase skews your power dramatically.
>>
>>98504142
Explain. Better yet, show me the deck. IIRC land bases have nothing to do with brackets other than gaea's cradle and Ancient Tomb being GCs, unless the RC finally decided to update shit.

Anti-Proxy fags, what do you do when you run into those 30-40 year olds who own multiple blinged out copies of all the cards you hate? What if your store is full of those types because you are cursed to have been born in California where a lot of techbros make way too much money and outspend you by a factor of 3?
>>
>>98504148
>Explain
Explain what? Bracket 2 is defined as the level of the average precon. Average precons come with terrible taplands, only basic fetches that also enter tapped.
Are you really dumb enough to believe a suite of every shock, every true dual, every fetch, both on color and off aren't going to juice the deck to an extreme degree?
Actually, you already know this, and you are just dragging up the same debate you already lost pretending to be someone else, so I won't waste my time giving you any more (You)s.
>>
>>98504116
Yeah? That's literally the best way to keep people from becoming total faggots with the game because then if you cross the money line too far all your buddies get to make fun of you for tryharding
>>
>>98504175
>Explain what? Bracket 2 is defined as the level of the average precon.
I don't think that is correct, iirc precons are Bracket two but not the only thing in bracket two. You can have High 2s and Low 2s. I think you might just be confused. Just like you can have a B1 Ur-Dragon deck and a B4 one. There are levels to this shit. Brackets are about how fast you want to win. Show deck.
>>
>>98504171
>Anti-Proxy fags, what do you do when you run into those 30-40 year olds who own multiple blinged out copies of all the cards you hate?
One in ten thousand players. Basically a unicorn. Meanwhile proxyfags are one in ten. I know which one's worse for my games.
>>
>>98504137
Land is part of the deck composition as a whole is taken into account. I don't know about the rest of the deck, but the landbase was just about as perfect as it gets, minus surveil lands, so to me that alone makes it b3.
>>
>>98504171
I feel like that’s less an issue with proxies and more so an issue with playing in pods with mismatched brackets.
>>
>>98504128
As reality should be.
>>
>>98504188
So would a precon that replaces all its tap lands with untapped duals be B3?
>>
>Someone brings up proxies.
>Their post isn't even shaming proxies, just a douchebag who broke the social contract
>Suddenly people are running in screaming "antiproxyfags!"
I'm pro proxy, but the victim complex is off the charts.
>>
>>98504193
All anti-proxy shit tends to be an issue of mismatched brackets.
>>
>>98504197
They get defensive because they're the people proxying for that reason.
>>
>>98504197
>Their post isn't even shaming proxies, just a douchebag who broke the social contract
By proxying.
>>
>>98504196
Most likely, yes. Its going to be gassing 3-4 turns faster than the other precons because its not losing turns to not having mana from a land just played and getting to all its best stuff quicker because its thinning their deck.
>>
>>98504186
It sounds like both of them are awful for the same connented reason: they're using prohibitively expensive cards that really shouldn't be played with (in your opinion) to begin with.

Same reason Sol Ring should be banned, but the sentiment applies to proxytards making my games worse.
>>
>>98504209
Yep, the difference is frequency. The proxyfags are more common and therefore worse.
>>
>>98504209
If you buy it then you have a right to play them.
>>
>>98504213
Sounds like the problem is The One Ring being too good. Almost like a card that can go into any deck, draws a million cards and saves your life for a turn is too good and should be banned.
>>
>>98504196
Possibly depending on the precon, but the Edea deck had much better deck composition than a precon besides the landbase, since it was pretty much all synergystic, as opposed to precons which tries to do multiple different strategies.
>>
>>98504220
Yeah, it is. And I've just elucidated why it's a problem when you add proxying to players' deckbuilding.
>>
>>98504223
Where is the Edea deck I keep hearing about?
>>
>>98504226
In the archive 2-3 threads ago. Go find it if you have to see it with your own eyes.

>Possibly depending on the precon
LOL
if your answer is not an unambiguous, unequivocal "NO" then you are terrible at Magic! Dismissed!
>>
>>98504217
They are a bigger issue, but they are not worse individually.
And again, that's just the ones that proxy power.
>>
>>98504213
This creates an issue where the game becomes about who is richer. I'd rather everyone have access to everything than richfags getting exclusive access to the most powerful stuff in the game.
>>
>>98504230
I don't really touch precons, but I have heard some are bracket 3 even with shit lands, like the elemental lorwyn deck.
>>
>>98504232
>This creates an issue where the game becomes about who is richer.
And that's a GOOD thing!
>>
>>98504231
Nah morally speaking they are far worse than older people that simply have been playing longer than you.
>>
>>98504232
No it doesn't you whiny little faggot. Most people just make do and DON'T play with every single powerful expensive card in existence. Hard to believe I know.
>>
>>98504230
Yeah they literally print infinite combos in precons now. Those land bases being shitty is what holds them back on purpose.

Yes. The rich fags would all hang out at their richfag table and the other 6 tables could just be chill and they would barely interact.
The 3's would likely have 1 ToR every 2 games instead of 1 in every deck, every single game.

I don't think it will work out. While some angels might lend themselves to control, you're not going to have blue for the most disgusting control aspects and will need white hatebears, which tend to be small, non-angel creatures.
I think if you want to run Seluma, just embrace the big flying bitches angle of angels and punch people in the face with them.

I run an Avacyn deck that pushes a level of control with small human hatebears like Thalia (both of them) while I develop my board state to safely bring out the big girl and once she's out, it's board wipe o'clock.

You could instead, actually play with real cards as the game is intended. Precons aren't expensive. You can also make powerful decks that are 20 dollars. They have decklists for them everywhere. But you know. Fred has a one ring, and you're smelly jelly, so you need one too.

Yes and no. I was in a club at uni and a large portion played EDH, and was my gateway into magic. The club prez had a very specific idea on how magic was to be played and most others went along with him. The prez also helped me learn how to play and gave me some deckbuilding tips. Even let me use his bulk to make some beginner self-brews. Lot of fun nights and games the pandemic, my place was were we meet every week to play in the later. The day before he left town after graduating he told me that some people in the group didn’t like playing with me, and that I was an inteachable player. Someone who I considered a close friend had apparently been nothing of the sorts, and left town after stabbing me in the gut. Never quite got his deal, and I don’t think I’ll ever care to figure it out.

There aren't any. It's called having self control and realising when your deck is too strong for the bracket you're playing in.
In bracket 2 if you want to be sure, I would stay away from all fetches, shocks, and true duals altogether.

>>
>>98504430
So then there is no problem. If there is nothing saying Shocks, True Duals, make your deck B3 or otherwise. then this is a non-issue.
>>
>>98504436
It is.
This was all explained to you last time you whined.
The reason hasn't changed.
The level of an average precon, is the level of an average precon.
Having an optimized landbase, removes it from that category. Precons don't have those levels of land bases.
It really is that simple. If everyone is telling you that you are wrong other than one retard, or sockpuppet. Its because you are actually wrong. Not because you're some genius prodigy. You're just a dipshit with no self-control angleshooting with proxies.
If you owned the lands, I would still tell you the same.
You need to sit down and actually self-reflect. Why do you need to beat precons so badly? Fix that. You won't, but until you do, you should probably fuck off.

More stuff that gives you benefits from getting tapped to crew.
More shit to find more vehicles. Way to give your vehicles some added protection maybe? More shit that gives small benefits from getting tapped?
I dunno. I don't fuck with vehicles. I think you need at least one piece of board wipe protection, in whatever for that might take. Yeah, I know she gets free recursion, but that still doesn't mean you can't get pushed back quite a bit.

Weirdly, no, and I got my hands on a deck with 10 minutes to spare before they went on backorder. There's probably a fuckton of orders to go through, so if your estimated ship date is also the 13th like mine, it might actually end up being as late as the 17th. Also, the production and shipping page is more than two weeks out of date.

>>98504349
I mean, yeah, if your deck's core mechanic is under supported or has a low power ceiling, why not counterbalance that with powerful enablers? Do people actually complain about this?

If I don't already own it, I proxy it. Ever since they announced multiple annual standard legal UB sets a few weeks before Foundations launched. I went from replacing all my proxies of cards I already owned that cost less than a color with the actual cards to not buying any cards (until this year when I bought a strixhaven prerelease kit for prerelease, and will contiue to to in-universe sets that don't look like shit).

>>98505392
>I just hate how blue is like 100% a necessity
blue is only really necessary when it comes to cedh as the disadvantage of countering one opponent's spell at the cost of a card is offset by your thoracle combo (also rhystic study)
you can definitely find success in b2 without using blue at all, just go boardwipe.dec

My stance on most of the rulebreaker cards is that you're better off just picking a commander in your actual color identity that lets you run fixing that isn't shit. The rewards aren't worth it.

I got sick of buying 40 cards, having them come in 20 packages, and then having one or two not show up for two months. If I end up putting a proxy order in these days I just proxy the entire deck to avoid having to buy 10 cent commons that have to be shipped by a blind one armed man in a canoe.
>>
>>98505456
for me I don't mind the multiple packages. I have a lot of the cards I need already. What I don't have is a bunch of 30-70 cent commons/uncommons. And it's impossible to buy them and get them shipped for <3 dollars.
>inb4 LGS
My LGS is shit and has a useless inventory
>>
>>98505464
It's not the mass packages. It's that one won't arrive on average or will be super late. If they all arrived on time, I wouldn't care. I've had to rebuy cards I ordered solely because they didn't arrived after over a month. This shit got way more common on TCGPlayer over the past few years.

I do usually check my LGS but they have a serious issue with their system being down 50% of the time and being unable to sell any singles as a result.
>>
>>98505470
It's because Ebay bought them, fired everyone, then raised commission percentages.
I've had orders where they forgot a 10 cent common, then refund me it. Fucking annoying because I'm usually buying 20+ cards because I want commons/uncommons, so one missing is essentially a dollar+ mistake to get on its own

>>98505507
I once had someone send me a card with literally nothing to protect it. Arrived bent in half. Had to reorder it from someone else.
>>
>>98505456
>>98505470
Because fuckwads on tcgplayer have zero clue how to properly ship a large order of cards. By "large" I mean literally any amount of cards too big to fit into 2 top loaders and these niggers go total apeshit with packaging. They package envelopes incorrectly, they aren't machinable as a result, get thrown into a "non-machinable bin", then can sit at sorting facilities for weeks because those bins need to get manually sorted.

Sometimes random bullshit does happen with the USPS that makes orders take longer. But once it finally arrives you can easily tell if the seller fucked up the packaging that caused the delay.
>>
The absolute biggest scum of tcgplayer are niggers who list their bulk cards then cancel your order if it's "too big to ship". These faggots should be insta banned off the platform for pulling this shit even once. DO NOT LIST YOUR ENTIRE BULK INVENTORY IF YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO SHIP LARGE ORDERS

No but something happened when I was away for work for a month with my group where two of them won’t show-up if the other one is there.

tq: no because I have no friends and never have had any friends that played magic. me and all my friends only ever got back into pokemon like 15 years ago for the LULZ.

we had a large old house we rented and we needed 1 more dude and he was a FoaF.. HE used to do pro tour magic in the late 90s early 00's and showed me Magic.

eventually his brother replaced one of the other OGl roommates and those are the only 2 people I've known personally who I've played magic with, and I haven't seen them in like 16 years.

>RE: proxies
I've started now for b2 and b3 built decks to only include one true dual, up to 2 on-color fetches and no limit on shocks. (shocks are like $7 who is complaining about shocks?)

so a GUB deck might have: a bayou, overgrown tomb, breeding pool, misty rainforest and then some pain lands, bond lands, the new marvel lands, and a good amount of basics.

2 color decks might have the one true dual or none, and 5 color decks I might throw in a 2nd true dual. the important thing is having fetchable lands really.

I also like to have them be foreign white border ones so there is plausible deniability about any of the shit being proxies, and being in my mid 30s it's reasonable that I might have these cards.

I only play randoms, or sometimes some very brief acquaintances I only know at the LGS, and even then I cycle LGS' every once in awhile, show up to one a couple times a week for a couple weeks then go to one of the other ones in the town.


all that said, the land bases do not affect the bracket. I only do this to avoid drawing attention to using potentially Chinese cards and/or avoiding trying to flaunt off that I'm potentially rich and trying to pubstomp with my wallet. (and by rich to people that just means getting good deals when you started playing and not selling your shit off like a crackhead).


I also have the need in my deck to play a bayou and then slapping it on the table and saying "we're goinnnnn down to the bayoooouuuuu boiiiii"
>>
>>98506250
>>>
meant this to say I have no friends who play magic* ah well. I said what I said. they all played pokemon and now play nothing and have had zero interest in ever getting into magic, and I've never really met anyone at an LGS that I would want to hang with or talk to outside of a game

>>98503696
>TQ
No.
>>
>>98506329
If they don't matter, why are you running them?
>>
>>98506322
I do run them for flavor. and because theres no reason not to. the only reason I dont run all of them or all green related ones in a 5 color deck is to not make it seems over the top

also in a 5 color deck having a Savannah and a Tropical Island + Breeding Pool and Rejuvenating Spring, etc is going to be more effective than a Plateau and a Scrubland, if you're using green ramp to get domain.

there's also a point where it becomes over the top and unlikely to have all those in a mid power 5 color deck.

additionally you wouldn't even want to run every different variation of non basic lands since its generally a good idea to have at least 2 of each color basic in your deck and 4 or the lead color. even just for defeating blood moon in bracket 2.
>>
>>98506322
>Then don't run them. Your deck will preform the same

You run them so your deck is more consistent and isn't slowed by tapped lands. They matter and you retards need to stop pretending they don't.
>>
>>98506437
not a great idea.

even in low brackets where you think you might not find a blood moon, if you play randoms sometimes they creep in. and not everyone uses brackets. if you play randoms its sometimes 50:50 if they will abide or even know what that means. basic lands are good.

>>98506444
very cool idea

>>98506442
>>98506322

I do also run them because almost all my paper decks I prototype and play against real people on MTGO where a Bayou costs $6 and an Underground sea costs $12.50. and at any bracket level its likely to see a tropical island, savannah, taiga (particularly green-related ones) on there. so its not weird at all.

I will often 1:1 the MTGO deck list for paper and if that includes an ABUR dual, if I have copy, whether it's real or a Chinese reprint I'll keep that in the deck.
>>
>>98506485
You the one who said it don't ,atter. It clearly do be matter. The first step any player takes is making day manabase bette
>>
>>98506507
No, I am not the one who said they don't matter.
Reading and understanding the chain is hard, I know.
>>
>>98506485
even if I took out the 1 or 2 ABUR dual I use, I still wouldn't have to deal with lands coming in tapped 98% of the time because the other lands I play don't come in tapped. like the bond lands, the "tapped unless two or more other [basic] lands" which the ones requiring basics have the basic subtypes so they can be fetched. Half the green land tutors put them in tapped anyway

this is also why, especially in 3 color and ESPECIALLY in 5 color you want to run basics, so in the event you arent running every ABUR or shock that you can get some other lands in your main colors that aren't going to be tapped.

that plus usually you have a primary and secondary color and its better to have 5 different green blue lands than rainbow of random color combos (this is more towards 5 color particularly).

A well-tuned manabase basically puts you ahead one turn in mana if the rest of the table plays taplands.
In bracket 5 and in some bracket 4 tables, this is necessary because those decks can't afford to go behind even one turn, since the game can end quickly.
In other brackets, since they last longer, the advantage/disavantage gained by any individual non-GC land drop is minisculed,) due to the sheer volume of land drops occurring.

Thus, a tuned landbase with duals is fine in lower brackets, even if it offers a noticable advantage, provided that the spell quality is an honest representation of that deck's bracket.

You might be thinking of the "Starter Commander Decks" product (SCD) from 2022.
Foundations (2024) didn't have any commander product associated with it. Although it did have a Jumpstart set which has the same straight-to-Legacy legality as commander products do.
>>
is there a way to search how many basics each color combo runs on average? there are exceptions if someone runs a lot of devotion but it would be neat to see some generic deck basic land distribution for 2,3 and even 4 to 5 color decks. just so I know how effective my from the ashes is on average
>>
>>98506850
Averages aren't a helpful metric, because the average commander player is retarded.
>>
>>98506850
Decks tend to run way less basics and sometimes no basics if they have 4-5 colors since they rely heavily on nonbasics for mana fixing, if you play in a pod that has alot of 4-5 color decks I think From the Ashes would be a solid choice

I'm thinking of building a Piru deck with a bunch of dorks that have protection from white, red or black so they all survive her big blast and then running some other mass damage effects such as Pestilence and Earthquake. Is it fair to classify this terrible idea as bracket 1?

>>98507052

That's bracket 2. Bracket 1 is not a real bracket, and if you're thinking of a "strategy" for your deck you've already failed at it.

The way to think of Backet 1 is if your deck has a non-mechanical theme. You're already putting too much thought into how the deck wins.

Does it? I just put in clones, bombs, steal effects, some sac outlets and a few pieces of low cost interaction. The deck does build itself. I usually use scryfall search and looking for specific things for a given deck, for example, right now I am deep diving
>function:mana-rock mv:3 type:artifact
Which I have already spotted a good synergistic 3CMC rock in Transmogrant Altar
>Turn a stolen creature into a psudo Dark Rit
>Or a 3/3 blocker
>Shores up one my weaknesses of needing cheap chump blockers.
Though, in retrospect, maybe this is the problem. I'm trying to make every thing synergistic.

its like closer to $40 now I think. I just added one to my bootleg mage order. Im not really employed or unemployed (self employed) and spend like 200 a week on magic cards. I couldn't justify $40 for the kitty.

however I do not balk at buying a $12 birds of paradise every time I make a new deck with green in it (I've bought 3 in last 2 months).

I do think it is fun getting like 3 envelopes a day when actively building decks with tcgplayer and eBay singles. I'm sure my mail lady hates it though

mono red you will wish you included zuko's exile or intro to annihilation. I have also ran this in mono green for creature exile (although song of the dryads + beast within is usually better. )

No, that'd be you retard-kun. Explain what makes this random anon's deck such an outlier. I'll wait. It's threaten.dek, and if your commander is out you can't even get rid of the cards you sacrifice. They just go back under the control of their owners.

This deck is definitional bracket 2.

From what I skimmed in the last threads my deck is
>Too optimized
>The manabase is too good
It is my "default" deck for when pods and players are "unsure" what bracket they are. A safe option who's main wincon is my opponents creatures, but 2 players now have accused it of not being bracket two and I want it to stay my "safe, default deck" for new players/pods.
>>
>>98507151
That's because the average Magic player is a fucking moron. This is 100% a bracket 2 deck.
>>
>>98507110
ive looked some potential cards up on there but never made a purchase yet. I'd definitely consider it. I think tcgplayer is gay just because they won't sell the "banned" cards like Cleanse and Crusade which is SJW posturing BS.

why is mana pool better though? I'm definitely interested

>>98507151
I made suggestions a few threads bavk on what to cut. I would implement those if you are conserned. Mana base was the biggest and most obvious that likely has people you're playing with thinking it's very much not bracket 2.

i told you all. you could build a legendary angel with a 5c identity in any way you want. want control? you can focus on any gameplay aspect you like. but with this card, you are just playing a white deck that gets to play a couple different angels than usual at the price of a worse mana base. rule breaker reduces deckbuilding options, it doesn't open them.

oh damn yeah that is enticing. TCGroomer's is unbelievably bad. and they have the audacity to poll you every once in awhile on how often you use it. as if it's actually usable.

>>98507180
to be fair, its a high IQ inclusion (higher than the general IQ of average bracket 2 & 3 commander players at least).

that is to say if they have any removal of all. the amount of times I've played Leyline of the Void or this lil bitty to shut down token swarms and Smo-Tithe and they have no disenchant is comical. especially on MTGO.

its somewhat loosely mass land denial but I dunno. I think blood moon is fair in bracket 3 (play more basics). certainly is harsher the less colors someone is running.

still trying to decide if this is safe to include in either B/W or 5c bracket 3 decks– what are the most common cards that would get blown up? command tower? also would take out sol ring, and of course treasure and creature swarms.

also bonus for it causing the original legend rule to come back into effect. or at least the way it was for a long time up until fairly recently (like Clone being commander removal)

now just need an enchantment to restore mana burn and we're back in '09
>>
>>98507604
WotC has jewishly revised history and made MLD = "Mass Land DENIAL"
>>
>>98507604
neither does blood moon or back to basics but the argument is t hat MLD is also DENIAL of land. not being able to access your mana base is what "they" mean by MLD.

I think its wack, I mean armageddon shouldn't be in every bracket 3 game but lands are not holy grail and should not be treated as such.

I mean it's not weird to blow up someone's Maze of Ith with an Acidic Slime but just the nature of lands being destroyed is too "holy" now outside of bracket 4 (and bracket 5 isnt commander). and that aint right
>>
Conker's Bad Fur day UB when??
>>
Where does this card land on the MLD bracket conversation? It can potentially cripple a greedy deck but it's very survivable for most 1c, 2c, and some 3c decks.
>>
>>98507638
I believe Gavin explicitly said this one is not MLD. It has the potential to MLD but it's entirely on the player for loading their entire deck up with nonbasics.
>>
>>98507638
This card is based. FUCK CREATURES, FUCK ENCHANTMENTS, FUCK NONBASIC LANDS
>>
>>98507638
It replaces the lands it hits, so it's not mld
>>
>>98507638
It was included in a precon which means it is a fair card that can do no wrong, much like sol ring.
>>
>>98507679
This card doesn't touch creatures you idiot
>>
>>98507729
I mean, they admit sol ring is too powerful and is broken and shouldn't be in precons but it's grandfathered in at this point
