Just spent an hour having my field looped by Orvar buying back Mind Games on Talon Gates of Madara so that game was pretty shit.

>>98749301
How did the Orvar player make that happen? Did he have infinite mana?
>>

>>98749314
He would duplicate Talon Gates of Madara with his commander then phase out my board on my upkeep every turn, so yes, he did have infinite mana because the loop was ramping him.

Aiming to ramp/ritual Avacyn out by turn 4-5 to establish the recursion engine, then use the multiple sac outlets to get max ETB/dies value on every player's turn once she's out.

you have no way to suddenly win on t7 with a combo, i would not recommend this on a b3 pod

I took out Forsaken Miner + Blood Artist infinite since it could be assembled super early, what are some T6-T7 combos available in Mono Black?
>>
>>
>>98749340
The TQ, probably
>>
>>98749667
you also need warren soultrader or phyrexian altar for that, making it a three card combo, which is perfectly fine in b3

I would also add chthonian nightmare for repeatable recursion for garry etc. in case you don't have your commander available, and maybe sensei's top so you don't get stuck with a land on top with citadel in play
>>
>>98749667
mike + ballista
ballista also functions as an infinite mana outlet for cabal coffers rings of brighthearth infinite mana combos
it also helps if your commander is a combo piece itself
since lower brackets put limits on how fast you can combo off the key is to look for combo pieces that also function as value pieces so you don't feel bad that you have to 'sandbag' and that your pieces do nothing by themselves should the game drag on to a grind
>>
>>98749519
Sure
I finished my 10 3c decks and now am looking to make them all truly Highlander (1 copy of non-lands between them, minus sol Ring)
In theory, what deck archetype benefits most from a 3 mana draw 3? A combo deck looking to dig for cards, control or a standard value engine deck?
>>
>>98749701
making distinctions between two-card and three-card is a fool's errand and is an outdated way from gavin to limit combo consistency; also people can't even agree on them, edhrec defines dualcaster + twinflame + any creature as 'two-card' for fuck's sake
the correct way to use brackets is to put limits on when you can combo off (in b3 that would be t7) regardless of how many pieces your combo constitutes, otherwise the whole thing gets silly once your commander is a combo all on its own

Good shouts anon, I'll try to work those in. Energy Counters aren't stored in Chthonian Nightmare itself, right? If I slowly accumulate 1-drop recursions i'll eventually have 6 or 7 energy by the third or fourth time it comes down?

>>98749706
Ooh I forgot about Mikaeus. He fits too lore-wise. Question about his Undying ability though -> If a creature with a +1/+1 counter on it dies, it comes back with a +1/+1 immediately. If I sacrifice it again, it comes back with Avacyn's rez on the next end step, but without the +1/+1 counter, making Mikaeus's insta-rez valid again?

That's right, you do need something to pull out of the graveyard with Salvaging Station but it is not particularly difficult to crack some shitty cantrip egg at some point during an edh game.
>>
>>98749806
Yes
A creature without a counter dies
Evilcyn sets up a delayed trigger to res it at EoT
Undying says res it with a counter now
It comes back now
Delayed trigger can't find it in your graveyard and whiffs

Creature with a counter dies
Undying doesn't care
Evilcyn sets up a delayed trigger
Comes back at EoT

If in the first scenario the undying trigger gets stifled somehow, the avacyn trigger will still try and fish it out of your gy if it didn't go anywhere between when it did and EoT.

You got someone complaining you betrayed bracket guidelines.

You start an argument there trying to discern the intentions of Gavin. I disagree with you, you think three random strangers would agree or not agree with you?

Final Fantasy was the best set in ages and I can prove that mathematically.

Well, okay. Deleted the previous post because for whatever reason it was tipped over.

Tried for living weapons/ninjutsu. Not quite where I want it to be. Got a little cute with it and cut some actual removal for etb counterspells. Afterward you can suit them up with equips to give them evasion, swing in, then put them back in hand with ninjutsu.

Perplexing Test isn't as good in this deck. It'll be going out for Soul Immolation. Looking for cuts for
>Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar
>Thought Monitor
>Thorin, Mountain King (good repeatable removal with ninjutsu)
if anyone has any ideas. It seems a bit light on card draw.

Ideally there'd also be room for lightning greaves since 0-mana equips can be important for ninjutsu shuffling. But I'm not seeing space for that either. There's a lot of tension in the deck as of now.

anyone can be kicked out for any reason, ranging from voltron to landfall to simic to discard to using terese nielsen art, but that's not what we're talking about, such people wouldn't be using brackets and would just play in their basements with rule zero to begin with
>given how poorly it is explained
it's not once you use common sense (brackets are all about limiting combos and not the combat step), i've also given you multiple reasons why my logic works and how it aligns to wotc's, you just refuse to accept it because ultimately you're afraid of voltron because you can't bear to bring creature removal in your deck

Let me stop you right there. Even on the very bottom of the totem pole in bracket 1 you are allowed to combo out, provided the combo is assembled using enough different pieces. If brackets were really designed to limit combos there would be a hard "no infinite" bracket. But there isn't.

Mono white has a lot of commanders that just make tokens. Built-in evasion is good, but it needs to connect and doesn't do so until turn 5 in a vacuum. If you're trying to just beat face and use tokens for backup, you'll probably get more impact out of someone like Adeline.

>>98750283
>how the bracket guidelines unfairly undermine voltron/aggro I'll be here
I think for Voltron, the bracket system should be defined by how quickly they can deal 63 commander damage, because think about the typical problem: a voltron deck can target an opponent to kill them before the turn limit. A lot of Voltron decks can hypothetically spread their attacks, though, choosing to focus one player as a gamestate assessment. The key thing to note is that a lot of decks can hypothetically focus everything to target down a weak player similarly, yet rarely if ever are they judged by this metric.

Sometimes you evaluate cards based on the ceiling rather than the floor. Giving all your creatures indestructible that synergizes with sac outlets and also retriggers ETB effects is a pretty high ceiling.
Do you also think OG Avacyn is shit because exile exists?

Forgive me anon. My optimization brain takes over and I can't keep myself from running slop when I'm brewing. In bracket 2 the deck would look somewhat different, but I never build for bracket 2 except with my ironic decks. Bracket 3 is the sweet spot for my personal enjoyment. I actuallly like having those 3 "flex slots" for game changers, even if I'd rather see half the game changers flat-out banned for gameplay health.

I wish GCs were strict instead of loose, though. The list needs to be bigger not smaller. Urza should still 100% be a game changer. Mana Drain is also not one. There's a ton of power cards that should have a home, simply for the sake of bottlenecking deckbuilding at every bracket below 4.

Icetill Explorer, for example, isn't an obscene card. But the value it represents just makes it a no-brainer card in any green deck with fetches. In casual play it's borderline oppressive. It can create "accidental MLD" in the form of Strip Mine loops.

That's just my fantasy, though. I know WotC is lazy and loves minimizing upkeep because they think the average EDH player is pre Cro-magnon on the evolutionary chain.
>>
>>98750454
Okay.
Black and white can cause other players to draw cards.
Red has blue specific counter spells, and white has counters spells as well.
The only color that might struggle dealing with it is mono green.

>>98750464
>they think the average EDH player is pre Cro-magnon on the evolutionary chain.
They're right.

They probably are but you can't let those players stay that way. You have to beat them with sticks until they evolve. WotC's constant effort at leaving things frictionless also leaves new players afraid of friction, thus they end up with smooth brains and smooth-brained takes.

See: /r/EDH where you can spike your cortisol levels just reading about people's opinions on the game.
>>
I don't really think about brackets cuz shit's casual.
I build decks to be as good as I can afford and that usually means it can vacillate between 2 and 3. There's some high tier cards, but the inherent luck needed means more games will drag than instantly end, so generally it's cool.
If some faggot autist gets uppity there are two tools to overcome that: your sideboard and/or your middle finger.

I want to build a deck where I can cast cards like Decree of Annihilation, Apocalypse and Jokulhaups and then win after I blew everything up. I tried it with Abdel Adrian/Tavern Brawler and it was decent, but exceptionally boring to play with all the blink value town triggers.

I've looked through every commander with red in it and settled on the old classic OG Jhoira as the best option for my MLD needs, unless someone has a better suggestion.

How is Jhoira these days? Do people still fear her like they do with Kaalia?

the problem is that if the jhoira playing is losing the temptation to just boardwipe everyone's lands just to grief is always on the table and no matter how much one insists that they're 'not like other players'

Why wouldn't they? You yourself want to cast her then suspend a bunch of MLD. Why wouldn't someone who gives her the benefit of the doubt for a rotation only do so once?

I like how this card was so poorly-designed it caused them to backpedal on their original policy of making stax pieces asymmetrical.

MLD is the reason I want to play the deck, and I'm a hard-core griefer, so Jhoira seems like the girl for me. Thanks anon.

>>98750735
So it's best to cast her only when I have the mana to suspend all my fun bullshit on the same turn. Ok I guess it's best to build her as an izzet control deck.

Karn never fully turned, and left New Phyrexia for a bit. Norn took over New Phyrexia, corrupted a tree, invaded the multiverse, and Karn killed her, un-Norning everyone who got oiled (stop asking questions). The results desparked a lot of walkers, and opened up gateways between planes called the Omenpaths.
Jace and Vraska also got Norned. They got better. Jace and Vraska made a plan to remake the multiverse without Phyrexia, the Eldrazi, and a bunch of other problems. Vraska dipped out, Jace continued even though the plan made no sense, and made the Echoverse. The Echoverse is the multiverse but also not. The black Avacyn, the gold Karn, the Jeskai Vraska, etc etc are all from that. Don't get attached to the characters, because the Echoverse being real would somehow kill everyone in the multiverse, so Vraska and the Lorwyn five gang all team up to (successfully) kill Jace, while his daughter-but-also-tranny-self Tam frees Emrakul who eats the Echoverse almost as soon as it was tangible. Also Bolas is free again.
