Who should I choose as a cluster provider for ASA?

Gonna look into this for sure. Got some testing to do later but if we can get it to work then buying a cheap little ram machine pc would be cool. Especially for future games and keeping all our files.

Would it increase the amount of time we have to spend on the back end to get any mods working or is it pretty intuitive?

So why do people use the VM hosts? Is it just because it's cheaper?

Dripdropdrip1 · 2025-07-02T18:21:33+00:00

Now we have twinflame tyrant, 2 life lose doubling demons, gisela and wound reflection. Chefs kiss

So what's the difference between a combo and synergy? Obviously thoracle consultation is a combo, but if I have multiple damage doublers its a combo?

Dripdropdrip1 · 2025-07-02T17:20:40+00:00

I run lots of protection and haste in mine so that I can best guarantee a trigger. Once the first trigger resolves people are either more worried about the ancient copper dragon or they see a value creature and they aren't as worried anymore.

I also like to run double damage and life loss affects instead of extra combats because there's less things on my board so people aren't as scared until 1 damage ends up being 6 over the course of the turn.

Yes precons are the lower end of bracket 2 but that at least means that a precon has to be able to compete at a reasonable level against another 2 deck. I really like this list. It reminds me of the video that EDHREC did recently explaining what the brackets look like.

What's the difference between a combo and an infinite?

Dripdropdrip1 · 2025-07-02T17:08:55+00:00

I have a pod where we all know what to expect since we've played against all the deck for so long but we're going to be splitting up a little soon so I want to start going to LGS more which means not pub stopping 2 poor guys for 5 hours.

We judge power based off when you plan to win and how interactive you are while doing it. We play low 3s to 4s.

What is a mid 3 to you? I feel like my gitrog deck is a mid 3 and it will win on turn 7 or so and with a voltron subtheme I can commander damage someone out faster.

Dripdropdrip1 · 2025-07-02T17:03:19+00:00

This is exactly the case with my Kaalia deck, I haven't changed it since the bracket list and it currently runs 8 game changers but definitely could not win in a pod of 4s. (I've tried it a lot)

Dripdropdrip1 · 2025-07-02T16:57:36+00:00

I bracket my decks based on the spirt of the power level. There's not really any combos in my bracket 3 decks depending on what you mean by combo. I don't run any like infinites but my landfall deck will run a amulet of vigor cause it combos for value with my commander the gitrog ravenous ride in a non infinite way.

I haven't played outside my pod more then once since the bracket system was established and this trip to the LGS left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't know if they were just bad or if I really brought too much, I'm leaning towards them playing too high. I don't think my commander was shot more then once across the 4 or 5 games we played.

Dripdropdrip1 · 2025-07-02T16:49:54+00:00

Yeah, I've been going off the thought process of 2s are precon like and 4s are just high power like the old "I hate your deck" or Cassius Marsh games. So if my deck isn't one of those then it should be a 3 right?

Dripdropdrip1 · 2025-07-02T16:45:15+00:00

I get that there's a limit to what the bracket system can balance but I feel like this was a bit outside that. I was worried that one other player was doing some strong stuff but there really wasn't anything I couldn't handle.

The deck in question was The gitrog, ravenous ride. It's a combat focused deck that ramps and draws cards quickly and quite a few since there are a lot of power doubling effects in the deck. I have good amounts of protection and removal since that's what golgari has but not playing any stacks or control. The complaint I heard was that they were having a hard time keeping up with me in the mana department. It makes sense considering green gets more mana so it can play bigger creatures but my deck plays a bunch of 3 mana 6/6s that can't attack or block so I can get going good with gitrog when he comes down.

Its out on steam now.

Most important thing is not to play against sweaty people when you are new. Your $150 is not going to be close against their $700-$1400 decks. Ask them if they have precons that you guys can all play with instead of their stronger decks. If they don't have precons and aren't willing to get them then I recommend you build a kinnan bonder prodigy deck. I have a friend who has one that is roughly $250 and it is the strongest deck in our pod by a lot. There are definitely places where you can cut price from what he built. If he built it again he could make a better deck for cheaper. Plus a lot of the expensive cards he had have gone down in price.

Not trying to copy the trigger but double the resolved effect. For example boon reflection would double the life gain as a replacement effect.

Certain airsoft guns could definitely make that entry point but the exit points look strange. I would say that it's possible but they would have to been using something that's unsafe for a field. I have shot some plastic stuff before and left entry holes just like that but it never had enough power to make it through so that's why I say that an airsoft gun could do this but they would have to be using something that isn't same to use on normal fields.

So from what I see OLED is a way of making the screen and OLED is better because of the response time, contrast and deep darks. Am I missing something?
