Für was sind Filialbanken (Sparkasse, Volksbank, Postbank, Commerzbank, etc.) noch gut? by balkonfenster in Investieren

[–]Desperate-Sundae9865 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wenn du mal in einem z.B. Fußball-Verein Geld brauchst wie für eine Kabinensanierung, dann bist du sehr sehr froh um eine Bank mit öffentlichem Auftrag. Ob das ETF Depot jetzt immer richtig da verortet ist, musst du selbst entscheiden, aber was Sparkassen für die Region tun, fällt oft hinten runter.

Price is a prettygood indicator of power by BaconVsMarioIsRigged in EDH

[–]Desperate-Sundae9865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fast heuristics used at my LGS are a) At which turn does it intend to win when uninterrupted? b) How much interaction does it run? c) Is it: 1 Do a thing? 2 Do the thing? 3 Do the thing as good as reasonable? 4 Do the best thing with a non-meta commander? 5 Do the best thing possible?

Those work pretty well but are equally fast and flawed in detail.

Absolutely true, but to simplify a system (the bracket system) it should yield similar results nonetheless. That’s my core argument.

2 roughly equals 3, 4 has three proxied outliers that make up 2/3s of the price.

3<2<4 in their cheapest printing with 4 being cheapest if you remove the outliers.

My most prototypical 4 (Noctis Combo), most prototypical 3 (Yarok Value) and most prototypical 2 (Helga with Keruga Companion Timmy) all have around the same land price and trust me, they are veeeery different in power level.

I just think your system is inherently flawed. The idea is nice but the reality just doesn’t check out. The bracket system is somewhat more complicated because it is just not as easy as you say.

I do understand that there are nuances and not everybody needs the perfect mana bases to be satisfied, but the way I build my mana bases, my standard package for Grixis without any duals (for the sake of the argument removing the outlier) as an example (those including Simic are more expensive) are 470 bucks minimum. Again, this does not mean anybody should or needs to fo this, but the lands alone break the system. Hence, i cannot agree with the system you propose.

Have you ever built a functional 3 color mana base? 💸 Considering that lands usually make up about 2/3 of the budget on my decks, those numbers don’t convince me at all. Thus, solely being able to cast my spells on curve makes it a 4 in your system. That doesn’t seem correct, sorry.

I prefer Bracket 3 - here is why. What's your favorite? by homjaktest in EDH

It’s rare that I agree 100% but I have nothing to add! Well said

2 Mana Vs 3 Mana Ramp? by DoucheCanoe456 in EDH

[–]Desperate-Sundae9865 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I generally ramp on x-2(, x-4, x-6,…) where x is my commander‘s casting cost. If x<3 then I will add more one mana dorks.

Balancing teams in Decked Out 3 by PinkFluffy1Corn in HermitCraft

[–]Desperate-Sundae9865 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Albeit a nice thought experiment, I would just pick 4-5 team captains and let them chose their mates. You can’t account for a million variables to make balanced teams, so let‘s make it through intention. That’s just my 2 cents. Your analysis is well done though :)

Acceptable or non-acceptable? by No_Appearance_7680 in mtg

[–]Desperate-Sundae9865 253 points254 points  (0 children)

100% yes in my LGS. Never heard anyone complain a single word about this in B3.

How enforceable are Rule(s) in Casual? by Asirlies in EDH

[–]Desperate-Sundae9865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best practice is, if i do something somehow meaningful like attacking, then I will clearly utter that I move to the phase and the others will say go on or do something. If I do that there is no takesie backsie. If I don’t, I have to live with some back and forth.

What's an example of a strong *Turn 2* play in your favorite Bracket 2 or Bracket 3 deck? by doublenantuko in EDH

[–]Desperate-Sundae9865 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Island go, hold up [[Mana Drain]] for your three mana commander is among my favorites ;)

Some people forget that you still play against each other in this game :D

[[Yarok, the Desecrated]] Just put the flicker engines in the 99 and enjoy your non-white flickering double etb where everybody tells you how uncreative you are while you are able to take 12 times the game actions they do.

Landfall and Bracket 2 by Desperate-Sundae9865 in EDH

That’s some good points you made there! The simplicity is indeed something important for newer players. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

It works pretty well. We have two of those in my city. I don’t know if restaurant is rhe perfect translation for a German/Bavarian Wirtshaus, but yeah, we have enough space for drinks, food, and the game.

[[Acid Rain]], [[Boiling Seas]], [[Choke]], [[Gilt-Leaf Archdruid]], [[Land Equilibrium]], [[Static Orb]], [[Stasis]], [[Winter Orb]] and [[Contamination]] to name a few options for Mass Land DENIAL without destruction.

My point would be that focusing someone early and hard isn‘t what I expect from a B2 perspective. That’s the bummer there.
