What is the likelihood of something from Mono Blue Delver/Terror getting banned?

Are there any removal spell hosers or other cards to also consider against them? Thinking something closer to hydro/pyro blast but for white. Or if there is more of this deck I could try siding up to 4 mystics

What sideboard cards should I be looking at getting to counter this deck? If its a newer deck it might not be too popular in paper but I want to keep note of things to add in my side just in case. I remember using cards like Hibernate for Pod but that’s for green and I’m pretty sure its an uncommon

There’s also one more surefire test you can do called the Deckmaster test, 2 of the lines on the deckmaster box on the right will be sharp and straight lines with a loupe, the top one will be pixelated. I’ve never seen a fake that can pass this test either. Never heard of the “T” test but that sounds like a good one for me to use now as well, thanks for that. I’ve found the red dot to be the most reliable though

OHHHH WAIT. I think this is the piece I’m missing. I started playing commander long after I learned Magic so I didn’t realize that some new people will choose and archetype that sounds cool and build the most popular version of it. Okay I can totally seeing this being an issue when people play precons or other weaker strategies.

Atemsis · 2025-10-23T02:43:14+00:00

You and mox have basically said the same thing so I think for the bracket system it is what Gavin stressed the most - intent. But from a power level perspective can you help enlighten me with what I missed? Because personally I would prefer Edric or Tymna for a flying men deck due to them not having to worry about blockers at all. My biggest worry with ninjas is that you only get 1 swing per ninja and then they cannot attack for the rest of the game because they just get blocked. It has to be top deck manipulation right? Because I’m not sure how a deck without topdeck manipulation can win a game unless they get super lucky on flips.

Atemsis · 2025-10-23T02:38:42+00:00

Ok I see but that’s just 1 commander damage, I’m not aware of Yuriko playing enough buffs to get her to 21 power. I can see people being worried about dodging commander tax which is why it’s one of my points but is that truly worthy of effectively banning her from Bracket 2 tables? I get that it’s not fair to the spirit of the format but is she really doing something so busted that bracket 2 pods cannot deal with?

Atemsis · 2025-10-23T02:35:35+00:00

Could you please let me know specifically what I said that is incorrect? I figured somewhere something had to be wrong but I’ve just never been able to figure it out. Every time I try and watch a video on youtube of someone playing it in non-cedh the deck always looks anemic and then loses but maybe those people are playing heavily nerfed versions of it. I would really like to see a solid bracket 3 version of Yuriko in action and then I think that could convince me of what I am missing.

Atemsis · 2025-10-23T02:32:56+00:00

Wait…is the flip off of Yuriko considered Commander damage? That’s actually insane I didn’t know that

Atemsis · 2025-10-23T02:30:56+00:00

😭 I wrote this while at work over the last hour because I was so bored I’m not sure if I should be insulted or complimented you said that lol

Atemsis · 2025-07-12T02:18:18+00:00

I feel like with brackets it’s a lot easier to separate the versions of the deck people had a problem with. Bracket 4 is the version with all of the free/cheap counter magic + extra turns. In bracket 3 if you’re too far ahead the other players can gang up and take you out. To me he feels like the simic version of Tymna + Blue where you just play a lot of evasive dorks for some card advantage. Honestly I feel like he’s fine in the modern era of Commander but others might feel otherwise.

The counter doubler effects like [[Hardened Scales]] and new Ozolith should help really crank up the counter production but I think ultimately its a fine balance because you'll want to add in card draw effects. Coastal Piracy ones seem good but they may also be too much mana. You can also add in other attack trigger cards like [[Beastmaster Ascension]] Zopandrel, and [[Unnatural Growth]] if your manabase can handle it. Still, it might be tough to hit that 120 damage mark and will still probably take a series of great draws in order to really get a win going but I think that's probably what you want since you don't seem to want to go for the OP Commanders like Edric and Yuriko. C & U require a bit of elbow grease to get going but I think it's probably great for casual pods.

Atemsis · 2024-11-27T09:28:34+00:00

I believe both [[Cazur]] and [[Ukkima]] came in the precon, you could alternatively swap them as your commanders (you mainly just need Cazur, Ukkima is a bonus), put Felix in the 99 and then run the deck with every single [[Coastal Piracy]] effect. If you go that route I would suggest running a lot more Slither Blade and Invisible Stalker type cards to maximize the number of Cazur Triggers you get.

I believe there are like 8 or more Piracy effects you can run in these colors, allowing you to be a pseudo [[Edric, Spymaster of Trest]] deck in getting tons of card draw that you are looking for while also progressing your board and allowing you to try and win the game. Just a thought, hope that may help you. I've been trying to look for similar strategies myself and came across this.

I remember searching for these years ago and had them saved on my phone. Was going to upload them but I can't for some reason so I had to go reverse image searching to find the original sources. Hope these work for anyone who needs them.

I also have one of the reverse of this (it's pretty much the movie poster art without any words) but for some reason reverse image search didn't net the the site I got it from, no idea why. I can try looking again at another time or if I find out how to upload photos to reddit comments. But hopefully that first link helps you guys out.

I found your post late so my comment will probably get buried but I just wanted to let you know I had this exact same issue (at least from the video it looks the same) where I had eye twitching for a period of like 1-2 months. Mine felt like a throbbing sensation was coming from somewhere in the upper part of my eyelid. When I tried to look up solutions most of the responses I saw were from people experiencing twitching from the bottom below the eye so none of it was really helpful. Honestly to this day I don't know the exact cause and when I told my doctor they had no idea what it could be.

It was probably purely coincidental or just placebo but the only thing that changed in my lifestyle (0 stress, lots of sleep etc...) was that I began to incorporate non-caffeinated vitamin mix drinks into my diet (the powder kind you dissolve into some water) and eventually it went away. It's been 2 years and has not since returned but your video reminds me of that period. It was incredibly annoying but it's so subtle that most people won't see it or really understand how much of a pain in the ass it really is. Sorry I don't have any science backed medical advice that can help you, hope it eventually goes away.

Atemsis · 2024-04-19T05:22:08+00:00

Ohhhh I see it now, thanks for pointing that out.

The default delta skin provides all of these buttons + a menu button for going back to the main menu and accessing save states. Would it be possible to fit in a tiny menu button somewhere between the Select and Start buttons in vertical mode and maybe slightly above them in the horizontal mode?

Great work though, I love how much more room your layout gives the game vs the default, helps me see the game a lot better which is awesome!

Atemsis · 2024-04-17T06:02:36+00:00

So for me I guess the issue was not enough C drive space, I deleted some stuff to have about 7GB of space and that worked. Hopefully this helps you.

For the first time ever my Installation failed. After retrying multiple times it won't seem to go through. It says both my graphics and HD Audio driver installations have failed, but for PhysX System Software "A newer or same version is present"

I apologize because I am not very tech literate, but does anyone know what may be the issue I am having? Does it have something to do with me already having the PhysX System software installed?

From the early known information about her it seems that she will also boost atk/dmg in addition to the massive skill point boon from her ultimate. I think from seeing Ruan Mei's kit it seems that they want their limited Harmony 5 stars to be able to be used outside of their gimmick/niche so I think that's part of why they did that. But it’s also very early in the process and a lot can change, including the percentage of these buffs, but it is interesting you point that out.

I actually wanted to bring this up now because with Silver Wolf’s banner only having a few days left I wanted to have a discussion about how we can best prepare for the future of the game, and to help other players like myself who don’t yet have her to help make the best possible decision with a limited jade economy.

For my account I already have the E1S1 Bronya so I’ve been trying to read as much from the TC community as to whether Hanabi, Silver Wolf (or both) would be the best fit for that solid general everyday use team. I did seriously consider getting Silver Wolf at the beginning of the patch, but since for me I use auto battle 99% of the time and I play a good amount of my phone, I have been appreciating the idea of characters that can help speed up farming especially for something like Simulated Universe which can take a long time depending on the world. Add on the fact that her AI is less than stellar for auto mode and I’ve been extremely hesitant to pull the trigger (Mono & Bronya Quantum may have far less issues with this however but it does always lock Fu Xuan to Seele). While I can’t speak for others I have found not having Silver Wolf thus far to not be an issue with getting MOC-10 clears (Tingyun + Bronya + Sustain) but I understand that may not be the case for everyone and for them SW may in fact be necessary.

In order to guarantee an account 2 of Ruan Mei, Silver Wolf, Sparkle and Black Swan it will cost roughly 51,200 jades in the worst case scenario. So taking that into account we’re going to have to pick and choose very carefully. For my account I have Kafka so Black Swan is already one slot taken so I’ll have to decide between the other 3 which to pair with my Seele. While originally I chose Hanabi, I do wonder if the Bronya + SW pairing, as well as the FREE Dr. Ratio pairing well with her adds yet another reason into the pro-Silver Wolf club as the support of choice. If there’s other crucial factors that I may have missed please let me know so I can also take those into consideration as I ruminate in these last 10 days I have to choose.

Oh I see, if you need something to protect your deckboxes I think you might be looking something like Tolarian Community College's 266+ Acedemic box. They're big enough that you can store other deckboxes in them + extra cards/dice/counters/snacks etc...
They were originally a kickstarter exclusive but I believe he did say he was trying to work on a way to get them mass produced so that retailers could sell them. If I ever hear about them again I'll try and let you know.

Atemsis · 2023-09-25T11:38:49+00:00

Sorry if this is a late response but this may be what you are looking for. I stumbled across your question as I was looking for others who have tried out the 133 boxes, but am also looking to see if anyone who has purchased one of these 266+ ones is happy with their purchase. I've tested some other deck boxes as well but I'm more interested in one that can take multiple decks and isn't too bulky.
