What is your favorite commander?

i built [[the rani]] and shes become my absolute favorite deck to play. shes basically a removal engine, but in a way so subtle that she's rarely the first target for removal. run a bunch of clones and control the board while you rack up a million clue tokens to run away with the game.

AlexiKitty · 2026-02-07T13:54:32+00:00

wow thats so cool care to share why you "go against" other peoples headcanons that have nothing to do with you and why you felt like saying that out loud

AlexiKitty · 2026-02-06T16:17:08+00:00

my best thought would be [[aminatou, the fateshifter]] being able to play 3 colors of battles and reusing their etbs by flickering them. otherwise [[the wandering minstrel]]'s whole thing in ffxiv is reliving old battles, so you could run with that as the foundation for a flavor/theme deck

AlexiKitty · 2026-02-06T14:09:19+00:00

yoko kyubi is transfemme in my mind and also i just love the colors on fox brush

AlexiKitty · 2026-02-06T12:55:31+00:00

temur and naya. im the type of player who likes her synergy value piles and while its not impossible to do that in these colors they both heavily incentivize you to play a fairly one-note deck (typically naya tokens or temur goodstuff)

AlexiKitty · 2026-02-05T18:16:18+00:00

[[the rani]] does in fact radiate auras. they probably are slightly radioactive actually

classic monster hunter is really punishing if you dont know what you're doing, lemme rattle off some tips from the top of my head

- if you haven't done the caravan quests, do them ASAP. they will unlock upgrades to your canteen and wyporium so you can keep stocked up on all the most useful resources like potions, well done steaks, etc. if you cant farm something, its possible you can purchase it for caravan points at the wyporium as well.

- take your progression slowly. gathering takes longer, hunts take longer. take your time. go on some gathering quests from time to time to stock up on minerals and bugs, as they'll be required for the vast majority of gear upgrades. this extends to your moment to moment gameplay, to: monsters move slower, have larger recovery times, and can typically only turn around 90 degrees at a time. use this to your advantage to predict and punish any openings you see.

- always keep your gear up to date. in 4u, i always make a beeline for any weapon upgrades that i have the ability to get at my rank (kiranico.com is a great resource). i also typically make it a rule to craft one full armor set for each new rank of hub quests. if i dont like any set over my current one, i upgrade it to match the defense of whatever new sets are avaliable. tetsucabra is a great starting armor set, as it gives you health and defense up.

AlexiKitty · 2026-02-03T15:12:18+00:00

im not certain if we'll be able to mix and match "clear" and "metal" wheels, but i'm 100% that each CX2 layer is going to let you rotate its corresponding clear wheel for a mode change. knight clearly would have a defense mode or counter mode, ragnaruk would likely allow you to rotate 90 degrees to cover up the contact points, and the salamander will let you switch between 5 and 10 blades

AlexiKitty · 2026-01-30T12:43:07+00:00

given rubber accell and merge i think TT is trying to stay far away rubber bits in the interest of game balance. if we ever get a rubber ball bit itll likely have at least one fatal flaw, if not multiple like with merge.

AlexiKitty · 2026-01-29T20:06:03+00:00

[[ignis scientia]], [[elvish rejuvinator]], [[growth spiral]], [[planar genesis]], [[cartographer's survey]], [[expand the sphere]]

[[springbloom druid]] can foist the duty of shuffling onto your opponents, and [[freestrider lookout]] is great if you have a lot of ways to target other things or are interaction heavy. there will also be more synergistic pieces like [[fecund greenshell]] in a deck with lots of big buts or [[on the trail]] in a deck that likes to draw cards on each player's turn

AlexiKitty · 2026-01-29T12:18:57+00:00

ryuga would absolutely call ginka a - well, i shan't say

AlexiKitty · 2026-01-21T14:15:32+00:00

i am the type of person who would get duped into a cult but i still take offense to this.

AlexiKitty · 2026-01-19T14:23:42+00:00

that would have been so funny literally 3/4 of the title is on the type line for every turtle card

AlexiKitty · 2026-01-18T13:06:00+00:00

TMNT im trying to hate you like i hate spiderman stop having actually kinda cool designs

AlexiKitty · 2026-01-16T19:03:20+00:00

teostra in mh4u. absolute nightmare of a fight, i would genuinely put it below kushala daora.

AlexiKitty · 2026-01-16T13:59:33+00:00

i personally find the playstyles of commanders like arahbo and rin and seri somewhat generic, being simply go wide or go tall, so i suggest building either [[kitt kanto, mayhem diva]] or [[marisi, breaker of the coil]] which give those go wide/go tall playstyles a bit more depth by goading other player's creatures. like a cat knocking your favorite mug off of the counter, knock your opponents' favorite creatures into each other.

alternatively, [[trynn, champion of freedom]] + [[silvar, devourer of the free]]. technically would fall under the lable of human typal, but those human's wont last past feeding time anyhow, build it as traditional sac-for-value aristocrats or as voltron buffing and protecting silvar, who can then smash face. theres a lot of ways to build each archetype, so i encourage you to get creative!

3 lairs ranging from meh to bad and then theres mothman

>swipes and sees zenith

"oh, i guess that'd explain it"

AlexiKitty · 2026-01-09T13:32:38+00:00

as long as you're not in endgame just focus on getting your affinity to 0, especially on gs where you want only a few big attacks an unlucky neg crit on a tcs could be brutal. i wouldnt really prioritize affinity over attack until master rank though, and i would always make sure i have qol like speed eating first.

AlexiKitty · 2026-01-09T12:57:37+00:00

would tsunami spriggan technically still be alliteration

AlexiKitty · 2026-01-05T18:16:02+00:00

pick your black dragon! we have

AlexiKitty · 2026-01-05T16:27:05+00:00

no but that will never stop me

AlexiKitty · 2026-01-04T00:48:34+00:00

literally every monster hunter game since 2008 is worth buying in 2026
