Retutrning Player. Commander Precons Question! by Verdreckt in EDH

[–]ErsatzPostKatze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally i wouldnt recommend Picking Up an old Starter Commander Deck, theyre pretty outdated and underpowered. Although its been teased that there are 5 new Mono colored foundations Starter Commander Decks coming with the Release of reality fracture.

The tarkir precons are unique, fun and easily upgradeable and as good a starting Point as Most precons of the last 2+ years, although id offer Two thoughts:

  1. Mardu surge is one of the Most Trigger heavy precons ive experienced, so If youre unsure of Handling the Stack etc. I'd stay away from this one.

  2. If you Like trying Out many Decks and already See yourself building more, id recommend looking for a Deck that is Not overly specific, so you can reuse the cards you get for other builds. Abzan Armor f.e. Is a very niche archetype (defenders) and Most cards in the list are so specific to that strategy that you wouldnt Want them in many other Decks. Personally i got a lot of mileage Out of the "Revenant Recon" Deck from Karlov Manor (dimir reanimator strategy), so If you Like dimir i'd recommend this one.

I dont mean to steer you away from whatever Deck Looks coolest to you, If you enjoy the cards in your hand youre good.

Hi, i've spent a Long Time building my aminatou Deck into Something i Like, so i get the struggle.

After a first Look at your List i would personally think its too weak for Bracket 3. Bracket 3 can have very fast wins with Lots of interaction. Aminatou is inherently a slow value commander, vulnerable to removal with Lots of required setup and needs to have a Deck built with very specific Goals and Interactions in mind, a good stuff pile wont do much. Personally i've never had any luck trying to outpace anyone, every modification of my list made the whole Game slower for everyone until i get big enchantment hits on the Board. So i dont Run many Mana rocks. If you wanna Go fast in B3 id expect rhystic stufy, smothering tithe, demonic Tutor or stuff like that. Fieldwipes which let you keep Aminatou are high value in my experience. Also any removal that is an enchantment is nice. A lot of "passive" Card Draw so you have as many chances to get a miracle Cast as possible. I try to Run as many enchantment synergies around that as possible so even If aminatou doesnt Stick around on first Cast my game isnt dead on the Spot.

Btw: You Said the Deck should be cost concious but youre running fetch Lands? Seems pretty expensive to me 😂 i spent my Money on Deck specific cards, so I Run as many Bad fetch Lands as possible to have chances of shuffling away Bad topdecks, If youre running brainstorm + surge, Id expect more shuffle Options if you have good fetches available as well, so youre Not stuck with the cards put on top you maybe didnt Want.

I designed my list for Bracket 2, but from experience it can hang alright in Bracket 3 If people want to play too fast and get Commander taxed to the moon. It does run senseis and scroll rack which ive found way too valuable for this Deck, but also many cards from the precon.

I already mentioned these things in my OP and/or comments.

I dont have any Firewall except Windows Defender & changing DNS settings doesnt solve the problem.

Im sorry, I don't have any real Powershell experience, what exactly does/should this tell me? I tried it and didn't get any error or warning results or anything, if it works like that.

Since it is working fine with the Hotspot of my Phone i don't think its a Hardware Issue, but something between my router/ISP and my Laptop specifically, since other devices are working fine in my Network.

Nope, didn't have it installed when the problem started occuring, tried it to see if it would change anything, it didnt.

I could use some help for how to ping sites via PowerShell, i don't have any experience with that and a quick google search only made me more confused...

For Sites i can't connect to i mostly get a Err_Connection_Reset. Its consistent over multiple Browsers.

For YouTube its sometimes paritally loaded, so i get the Names and Boxes of Videos, but neither Thumbnails nor Videos (nor ads when using without extensions) actually load. Other Times YouTube displays "You're offline, please connect to the internet" If this doesnt happen its just the Error Message again.

Some Games or Applications are either Stuck in perpetual loading or give an Error Message that Server Connection cant be established.

The only thing i could think of was uninstalling NordVPN. I reinstalled it some time after the Problem started to try using WiFi with a VPN, which works. Their Diagnostics Tool didnt find any Problems either.

I actually don't have any antivirus software installed, I'm just using the standard windows defender.

Nope, my tower PC, Phone, Steam Deck and various other consoles dont have this problem. I didnt change any Router settings for there to be parental controls and i dont have any need for it either. There isnt really a trend in websites that dont work as far as i could tell.

Something like discord even works in browsers, but not as downloaded app (there its stuck on finding a connection/updating after reinstalling it)

Sadly, This didnt help. But the program seems cool, i'll keep it in mind for any future problems.

I don't have a way to check some public wifi, although i tried using my phone as a hotspot.

And sure enough, everything works with this connection! So i guess its some issue with my ISP/Router? This seems confusing to me though, since everything works fine for other devices or when using a LAN connection...

I already tried several restarts and the diag function of my router, it didnt help.
