GC should be 'gamechanger', the weird restricted list that wotc maintains now. so for Kraj, stuff like Seedborn Muse, Rhystic Study, and Natural Order are restricted to "only three from this list" in bracket 3 and zero in 2.
"competitiveness" isn't the exact word I'd use, bracket is sort of a speed tier. bracket 3 expects to win a few turns earlier than 2.

>>97630494
GCs are game changers. Rhystic Study, Fierce Guardianship, Worldly Tutor, and Cyclonic Rift in your list are on the GC list which is a scaling pseudo-banlist for lower power play. They're on the list either due to play patterns or power level, sometimes both. Bracket 2, which is around where your deck's power level is looking, allows no GCs. Bracket 3 which is a middle ground, think the old "my deck is a 7", allows three at most. Bracket 4 takes off the cap and is basically rogue cEDH where players are there to win by any mechanical means making the play patterns and power level no longer a problem of player expectations.

I'd give this a read to understand what the expectations might be if you play in a pod that uses the system for matchmaking. It's a good way to get up to speed on the general mood of the engaged playerbase too.

>Remorseful Robot isn't even viable in bracket 2
this makes me the big sad

>>97630796
It's not terrible in some decks. If it cost 3 it would still see a lot of play simply due to that being where repeatable reanimation gets cut off nowadays.

>>97630828
I thought it cut off at 2 because that's where the black 1-drop removal is also placed.

>>97630862
I'm mostly thinking of Sevinne's Reclamation, Tayam, and Mardu Terra. I'm pretty sure there's more but I'm struggling to remember them.

>>97630515
>>97630777
Oh that's gay, my pod is high and low because we proxy (hence mana drain and cyclonic rift) but we're building midrange decks, just optimized/upgraded. So that probably effects the mental map I have on building tempo, because I'm grabbing the cheapest and widest targeting counter spells for instance, even though they don't really synergize. So based on the advice I got, I'd probably want to put GC engines like rhystic study on the back burner, hold onto my GC removal cards but expand those to be more deck centric?

Sorry, feel the need to clarify: like the commander is Yahenni, but I'm not skimping on cards due to cost or power level because I know I want to pilot Yahenni and do Yahenni moves, not build any obscure uncommon commander and load it up with CEDH combos just to "have an X commander deck that wins"

This is why I have a strict no proxy policy. If you play proxies when I say no, I ignore you cards. Simple as.

>>97630955
>the custom alts that made reading the table impossible,
Just ask what the card is if you can't remember. Its not that hard.

>>97630942
Removal on the GC list is limited to stuff like free counterspells (arguably the cards that can come off the easiest since their impact is actually fairly low in B2), oppressively repeatable removal that invalidates swathes of the card pool when they're in play like Aura Shards and Orcish Bowmasters, Cyclonic Rift that reads decisively win the game on the last end phase before your turn if you left up enough mana, and exactly Farewell due to it being a near game reset in B2 where decks aren't typically resilient enough to bounce back fast enough to not add another hour to a game that should have been wrapping up. Free counterspells and Cyclonic Rift are some of the cards most likely to be fine on a per-playgroup basis.
Keep in mind the bracket system is mostly developed for LGSes and Command Fest events where the game is still being played casually but there's a high chance of a power level gap based on what each player's expectations are. It's a base for everyone to touch back on to prevent total mismatches. If your playgroup is having fun you can ignore it but the outlines are good for figuring out what kinds of designs players might dislike. If you're like me and card design is interesting to you there's a lot of good info in the articles and explanations.

What kind of removal should I run with this guy?
ETB Destroy creatures like Alpha Deathclaw are so good because they can mount Gitrog, or just go in for a swing on the next turn if it's time to start closing the game out (unlike the 3cmc 6/6s which usually lack trample and have a downside that keeps them from attacking in the first place).
On the other hand, they usually cost 6 or 7 cmc and that's a lot of mana investment for a removal spell. I'd also need to carefully decide which of my lower cmc creatures to cut to make room for them, and that fucks up my curve pretty bad since I won't be able to get a creature on the field before Gitrog lands as consistently.

I usually build low to the ground decks with an avg cmc of 2 so I'm at a loss for how to build this guy efficiently.

Nah, solid bracket 3, maybe even low 4. I would not play this against precons.
You don't look like a threat at first but once you're drawing 10+ cards each damage step with unblockable, double strike, empyrial plate, inquisitor's flail, and blue's counterspells as backup, it gets hard to stop.
You've got the usual swords of this and that, swifties, commander's plate, draw and discard synergies, and with a couple of creatures that scale off of card draw you can easily take out two players in one go so you aren't picking players off one by one.

In some ways I'd say she's better than John Benton, but only if you're building her without a budget.
With a budget, she's not crawling out of bracket 2.

If I get particularly frisky I might do some theorycrafting on new decks or reworking work-in-progress ones, but with the Hybrid Mana question settled for now there's not a lot of extra work to do for my existing decks.

Definitely not pointless. If people even remotely follow them in building a deck and properly catergorzing it, it gives you a decent power level so you're playing against decks of similar power, which is what you want unless your a pubstomper.

Sleeving up the shork.

>>97630337
>>97630352
How do you use double sided cards if you're running double sleeves? Maybe I'm crazy, but I double sleeve all my cards due to fear of some drunk spilling liquids on my stuff.

>>97632374

>>97632374
just don't eat and drink while playing
single sleeving also make it easier for you to shuffle a 99card deck properly

>>97632374
For double sided tokens, I use clear sleeves.

For cards in the deck, I use clear perfect fits into toploaders; so I can just take them out of the outer sleeve, reverse them and put them on the table. It takes almost no time at all if you get practiced at it.

>>97632387
That introduces air into the cards (between the outer and inner sleeves), and it's a bitch to press it out again.

I'm reputed to be the unluckiest nigga in town when it comes to gamble. For that reason i didn't open a single pack in the past 15 years.
Wanted to test if the curse was still there and boughted a whole box of EoE. Wanted to maximize my chances with the best value set out there still on sale.

Guess what? Didn't pull a SINGLE shock, all my foils were shitty co/uncos, only 2 stellar sights borderless (a 5c hissing quag + 10c nesting ground lol), 4 penny bin mythics, and my most expensive opening ended up being x1 Consult the Star Charts.

If you want to buy packs to open then buy collector boosters. Play boosters are for draft and sealed.

>>97632578
Do you think maybe if you'd just spent $160 on singles they would appreciate in value in a couple years and you'd have made money instead of pissing it away gambling on short-term gratification?

They're a different fucking species. I know what UB set I would be weak for, but I still know that the damage UB does to the game is not worth buying it. This is beyond the UBfag, and even more so if he is in that xellennial age range, the first generation to never really need to grow up.

It's still Lathril or Voja depending on which elves you want to play. For monogreen it's probably Lord of Leaves or Dionus, though I like Eladamri Korvecdal as a deck that looks like elves but is actually eldrazi.

is it?

>>97633125
technically no, pokemon can all have different resistances in the card game because the types are concatenated. bug and grass and sometimes poison are all grass, normal and flying are colorless, fighting and rock and ground are all fighting, ghost and psychic and sometimes poison are all psychic, etc. so weaknesses change to reflect the 'real' typing. the super weird bit is that a pokemon's outgoing damage is always the card type, ignoring if the move is a different type in the game and if it requires any other energy types.

crazy person idea I had: dega superfriends using ghen, the main idea being that he can toggle spark rupture on and off to mess with people trying to get rid of your walkers
pros: good stax colors to maximize annoying everybody
cons: not great walker colors

>>97633193
The Sultai deck from Tarkir but you probably won't be able to find it for a decent price. Mardu is a close second. The Final Fantasy 10 Bant counters deck is shockingly underrated as well since most of the new designs for that deck are bangers. For $50-60 it's an absolute steal.

>opponent has a different sleeve on their commander than the rest of the deck

I bought the Turtle Power precon. There are a lot of interesting cards within it that I want to use. I want to fuck over combat states with Swift Demise, Coin of Mastery is something I was hoping for, Game Over is a playable black boardwipe.

>>97633193
Question: Are you looking for something reasonably priced? Because I can sure recommend some precon like the dino one if not. Which is probably 100+ dollars

Is Glacier Godmaw the best haste enabler for a gw tokens deck? Gets hit by zenith / natural order. Fierce Empath (and therefore Woodland Bellower) grab it. 9 mana is harsh but doable. Also repeats if you have more lands later. It can be found / cast before you dump tokens.

>>97633390

>>97633405
I think ninja pizza will be the only card worth $20 a month from now. Just cause it pairs with nuka cola vending machine too damn well. Obviously years from now when the precon becomes rare and IF they don't do secret lairs and reprints a few of the precon cards might jump back up as per usual. But I do like the direction of finally printing usable lands in precons. I'm not even a turtle's fan I just like go wide battle cruiser decks.

>>97633446
Basically replacing all the bad tapped lands with the green shocklands like stomping grounds breeding pool etc. adding in reflecting pool and starting town keeping 2 of the rainbow tapped lands. And then cutting out the curve and adding obvious changes like harden scales, branching evolution. Cutting out the CMC bad draw with better draw like guardian project and inspiring call. Then throwing in nuka cola vending machine. And the only two TMNT set cards used is ghengis frog and Michelangelo weirdness to 11. With a dolmen gate to round out the go wide attacking. The commanders are Leo and Michelangelo.

>>97633446
Basically slightly lower the curve and add more redundancy.

They really can't build better than a precon. The only times I see someone build a powerful deck is usually cause they copied it from someone else or found a list. Then proceed to bitch when I zap Smothe & Rhystic out of existence with barrier breach. It doesn't take a genius to figure out redundancy in a singleton format = consistency.

Depends on the deck I guess. Some can still get some use out of him. I like him in Orvar as a way to dig through every basic in my deck once Orvar is doing his thing consistently. But in any of my other mono color decks I've never been able to justify the slot.

Dinos are big and annoying, but they aren't nearly as bad.

Eldrazi checks players for whether or not they understand to attack resources (You must kill the thran dynamo). Slivers checks for having something other than wrath of god (and understanding the 5c deck has counterspells), and Dinos checks for a pulse.
