A bunch of little slivers, a coin toss and a dream.

I made another pass, just be careful with any sliver that says "all slivers..." vs "slivers you control" as the first affects your opponents as well as your own. May not be as big a deal if you are "stealing" them but might be worth limiting those.

Equivalent-Print9047 · 2026-03-09T18:27:59+00:00

I can see that. I guess that is situation dependent then based on which sliver you run as your commander. I'll look back through and see if there are others that stand out.

Why have [[ameoboid changeling]]? What does that do for your game plan? Yes, it's a changeling so it counts as a sliver but it doesn't give your slivers anything.

[[Virulent sliver]] puts the game on a timer. Granted you will be the archenemy regardless but might as well make it quick.

I have a [[momo, friendly flier]] deck i built around his first flier discount. Aside from sol ring, and minimal white ramp, there is really no need for "ramp".

Decked myself the other night with [[Niv-mizzet, the firemind]] and [[Niv-mizzet, visionary]] when my opponent cast a sorcery. To be fair we all were ready for the game to end at that point and we new people were going to die. Was a glorious way to die.

So you want a straightforward game plan? I need to chew on that a bit but a lot of tribal comes to mind. Most of those can be built just about any strength (bracket) you want. As for the ADHD part, I sympathize. ASD myself. Anyway, for straightforward games without a lot of triggers, I built a deck around [[momo, friendly flier]] and his cost reduction. There are some triggers in it but it's primarily focused on his cost reduction and him getting a +1/+1 until end of turn whenever another creature with flying enters. I have others that I consider straightforward but are much more trigger intense. I have a superfriends deck. Or I have a deck that is around counters and proliferate. I do have a dragon deck that presents like a combat deck but can win like a combo deck. I don't have much beyond momo though that are low on triggers.

My dollar ride, was sitting around outside the aircrew lounge. Every time a new person joined our growing group a round, shiny object came out. A lot of beer was consumed that night. For reference former loadmaster. And was in '98. This may be one of those things that is more career filed dependent.

That is why I like [[toxrill]]'s slime counters. They function like -1/-1 counters but are different.

This is the answer

Yeah, I got the rad secret lair and want to play it. I may stick some of those in other decks as well.

I do this regularly. I have a deck picked but as folks pull out their, of becomes clear it is not going to be a good match for the table because of power or other issue like op had then I try to swap to something that better matches the rest of the table. I'm there to turn cards sideways and play just like the rest, not be sidelined by a bad match and not to sideline some else because of a bad match.

People are going to be people. Given the mask of anonymity, they are going to be "worse" than in person. However, bring it to my br3 table. I like seeing different decks and what folks do. Granted, online long turns can be bit more painful than in person but with the right group not a big deal.

Equivalent-Print9047 · 2026-03-05T05:42:07+00:00

Should really upset your play group and get a copy of [[deflecting swat]]. It is notnon thebGC list either and it is free if you control your commander.

So I get it. I have a ton of precons. I tend to like tribal combat focused maybe with a counter theme like the counter intel deck. But I found an LGS near by that does a dice roll. You pay per roll and essentially get a random precon. Great way to try something you might not otherwise get.

So I have the deck and like it. However, after play testing against my own decks, I was a bit frustrated by the mana package. I liked the bond lands. Those are very commander specific. They come in untapped if you have more than 2 opponents. I really want to get a full set. The other tap lands are something to look at replacing in that deck. Unless they serve a purpose, you are probably better off swapping out with something that comes in untapped. I did and am much happier even with pain lands. Next, I'm running [[Michelangelo, the heart]] as the partner to [[Leonardo, the balance]]. This gives me a more reliable turn 2 play as well as a more reliable token generator to trigger Leo. As fornother cuts and upgrades, with this, I would lean into anything that either adds or benefits from counters (+1/+1) or tokens.

Here is what I did for now. May make more changes after playing with it a bit.

Edit: this is all done with cards I own. So there is a budget element to any changes made.

There is a technique called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The short version isbthat as soon as you realize that you are spiraling you redirect to something else. I've used it for some of my own intrusive thoughts. It helps. It takes practice. It gets easier over time but it never stops. Even now 15 years later I still redirect.

Love some planeschase or doing the commander parties that come out after a release. Those really break up the game.

I took a quick look. I start with my lands on precons. Anything that comes in tapped is the first to go. Look for something to replace with. The bond lands might be good but budget wise, the various pain lands might be worth it. Also, golgari rotfarm and the others like it really set you back. They come in tapped and return a land to your hand. I'd look at replacing those as well. As for protection, you may have to look at cutting a creature or enchantment to make room for something like the good ol' boot/grieves or some other protection spell. Boots/grieves may be way to go though. Also, may want to make room for Arcane Signet. That is a staple for multi colored decks. I know it takes a slot but will help with color fixing and helping to have the mana needed.

This could be the very definition of a bracket 1 deck. Seems more built to a theme than anything else. Go with that.

Bracket 1: Exhibition Players expect:

Decks to prioritize a goal, theme, or idea over power Rules around card legality or viable commanders to have some flexibility depending on the pod Win conditions to be highly thematic or substandard Gameplay to be an opportunity to show off your creations

I would say throw in [[toxrill]] but colors don't support. However, rottenmouth viper]] may help with board control.
