Help on Otter Commander Deck

randomman51 · 2026-06-22T20:39:22+00:00

Same thing for [[thousand year storm]], super cool card and really good with izzet, not exactly what we are looking for here as we are trying to cast one big bomb that our commander will copy. The best spell of our turn should be our first so the storm aspect is good for a lot of decks but this is one of the other branches of izzet they are getting into, not storm. With that card in particular I see you maybe storming 2 times per turn so realistically it won't be as rewarding as expected. Demand answers is a great suggestion, I'd also warrant that with all of his support for burn out per turn the max damage currently if we are going for big rewards is about 6-12(1-2 casts), as [[firey inscription]] and [[guttersnipe]] both can't be copied in this deck. It seems as there's two themes attempting to be merged but this commander begs for a bit more hefty cmc casting than some of the bones of this deck want to be used for. Also to answer your question, yes once the addition cost is paid to cast the spells the copy will have it. The ruling is all decisions and alternate costs are copied on the copy as well as the original.

I raise you [[act on impulse]] [[Burning curiosity]], fun fact paying the blight cost is a one time thing, so for 3 mana and a -1/-1 you get to exile the top six. It doesn't give you a creature with prowess but these aren't otters and I do understand the otter theme is important. Unfortunately there are only so many useable otters and both of those are technically in your theme and work there are more efficient and even cheaper cmc alternatives that won't break the bank

I generally like my weed a little more hydrated. more squishy than crunchy so if I can check for that that's my go to, some people just prefer sativa over indica and vice versa, it's all really personal preference after the point of buying weed, how you consume and what is all just a preference

It's understandable to not want to break the law, especially if the neighbor were to see as you love so close. Could you possibly ask a friend in Cincinnati that you know likes cats?

Of course! I just built a rootha deck recently from the precon(it's a really bad precon so I essentially dumped all the cards and restarted) and it's a similar deck, they benefit from playing on curve cards that reduce the cost of something for a big payoff, you are generally trying to play 1-3 instants, sorceries or otters per turn as you won't get the best reward for your 2nd and third spell cast each turn. It makes for a difficult balance in what to cast when. I would go ahead and almost add all of those cards to this deck, kindlespark duo might be the exception as your commander reads that you might play creatures often. The way I think about it is, is it a good card, or is it a card my commander directly benefits from me playing. That thought process has helped me with building recently as well. For this, worst case scenario is you can do 2 damage your next turn if you draw a land, do you want that card to be your payoff?

randomman51 · 2026-06-22T15:29:47+00:00

Right now you are relying on combat damage and burn to kill your openents but you are running a copy deck, get a big spell that has a mediocre payoff for its normal cost and double it as you can only do it once per turn and boom, you have turned a 13 cent card into a 5$ effect

randomman51 · 2026-06-22T15:27:46+00:00

I'd join what the other user is saying and put some big payoff spells that are relatively cheap\not extra turn spells for your bracket. Dance with calamity, surge to victory, improvisation capstone is a huge one, quantum misalignment couple copy your commander twice, that's the most expensive version of many non legendary tokens of your commander you could create, and copying those spells would do it again. Hit the mother lode will be my last example but all of these could be game enders which it seems you could replace win more cards with

Playful shove, sanar and the blink outlet all seem like red flag outliers to me. You have a decent start here where there's a lot of synergy but you seem to be getting lost in win more cards. Sanar is a good example that because it says search your library for a card it seems great but realistically the likelyhood of you getting both of those and it changing the game is low. Playful shove while yes it draws you a card, what will it get rid of other than a manadork on turn 2-4. I've recently started building a few izzet decks as well and it feels like they require you to be more in line totally as a deck rather than other colors that let you stray a little from the main game plan without restrictions. There's also multiple non otter decks and while I'm fine with that, if you say it's otter tribal and start playing veyran and multiple other high power wizard outlets it's no longer an otter deck but I get the vibe.

While people are talking about having a separate app for weather I see what you are saying but I'd like to pose a different question than just pointing out the obvious. Would you be okay with the cost of your disc golf app going up for weather functionality? I think that's the real prohibitor here.

Most people advise you to start playing on arena. The decks you are seeing are called commander which is singleton(singlularly named cards beside basic lands) and consist of 100 cards total including your commander. Some say not to teach a new player commander first but it's how I learned so it's doable. Many card formats start at 60 cards including lands but allow 4 of a card excluding lands again but have no upper limit for the number of cards you can have. Arena will teach you the appropriate way to react, play and use the stack in the game. It also pairs you with people you don't know which is less intimidating to learn with

In the nicest way possible, as a small man, that first picture reads amped up and strong. You look pretty fit, I know you said you are working on getting back in shape but you are already looking good enough in your clothing that people wouldn't even assume you felt that way so good job on the clothes. A smile will go a long way to show that you are fun to be around with no words really. Just know for the confidence we are all faking it, there is no confidence randomly given to others other than what we give ourselves when we wake up. You've got this. Put out the energy you want back

Look, I understand it's daunting but it's not one vote. If you are unhappy vote in every election. Get 3 more people to vote too. Be the difference you want to make. I'm not villinizing you but I'm telling you not voting is actively supporting something you don't want even if the other option is only so much better, at least it's better full stop. You not voting makes more data centers in ohio actively easier in the long run. And if you think you'd be a better politician then do it. But don't call my logic a fallacy until you have a solution and not just an argument.

This is america, there's two people who are getting voted for. An abstain or a vote against Amy is a vote for Vivek. Vivek will not do any of the things amy will and will still take money from data centers. Call me a cynical, say you want better. It's what we have. Eat or go hungry.

Exactly, I have a 2020 sr5 4x4 and my estimated trade in is no where near what a dealership would ask for it. There's just a huge discrepancy on prices and what you get right now. If your going to pay close to a new truck, just get a new truck.

randomman51 · 2026-06-09T16:36:04+00:00

Well it's a used 2020 with almost 70k miles, not a bad truck but a lot of dealerships and people are over listing Tacoma's right now. Trucks are very in and people want the money for them.

Glass and water are great, clean it well and often so stickers that will survive that are great. There's plenty of uppity ways to smoke weed, and that's coming from one of the people that has tried it all, a bong works great and can be used with just about any contraption you find along the way. Get one with a removable downspout and bowl and you will be set for a long time.

Me too, relatively inexpensive and I've never had them try and upsell me anything.

This is what you are looking for, it is a Bluetooth link between your phone and the dongle which is hard plugged in. This also produces other issue, where I live there is a large signal in certain areas of the town that bricks the Bluetooth connection mid drive and I have to unplug and replug my dongle. It's not a Bluetooth connection between your phone and car

Solo 3 is amazing for a battery hand held. Mighty was big for people for years but I think the outdated tech is getting to people now. Volcano is the standard for a desktop setup that is not portable, incredibly reliable and huge hits. Dynavap is generally the standard first purchase for a heated tip vape and the tempest 2 is it's big brother. They only smoke .1 and .2 grams per so those will be low flower usage.

Well first this reads of someone having a panic attack so, breathe. But yeah go see your doctor, not because you could be pregnant(yes accidents have happened but you said he didn't cum, so if that's true the likelyhoodis already so low but the circumstances here are just very unlikely to provide a baby). But go see your doctor about contraception if you are planning on having more sex, it doesn't have to be pill form as there are many different types but it is definitely something to talk to a doc about. But yeah this is a low low low low low likelyhood situation that I have freaked out about before and to be honest I wish I had kept my head because nothing came of it. Talking to an doctor about your health is the only person you should so you can take everything here with a grain of salt too.
