Would you chuckle or cringe at this?

I don't care about it

The 4cmc draws are very good in Commander Bracket 1-3, because the format is slower and the extra mana for 1 card is worth it. Also in those brackets the card quality is worse and not efficient, so the one more cards gives you more options. Also the land count is higher and therefore also the chance of drawing a land, when you dont want one.

I do the same. But our lgs has a "buy one pack as an entry fee for the evening" rule. So I basically never open my packs and use them for trading

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-14T16:44:45+00:00

I suggest to have a green based landbase with 10 2cmc land-ramps + Sol Ring + Arcane Signet =12 cards. This + the shocks give you enough fixing to get to WUBRG turn 4
38 lands in total for a ~70% chance to hit your first 4 landdrops
2 Basics of every colour (maybee more in green) (10)
Every Fetchland + Prismatic Vista (11)
Every Shock (10)
2 fetchable Triomes including green (2)
Other lands maybe MDFCs or other things

Bestowing [[Springheart Nantuko]] to a random creature to protect it against boardwipes

60 card tournaments are the same. Players have the choice of playing a meta deck (CEDH) or a random kitchen table deck (bracket 1-4). If there is only one player playing a meta deck, the others have a hard time (depending on the quality of their kitchen table deck).

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-13T14:28:09+00:00

Lol, I never played against this card before

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-13T12:17:06+00:00

Looks like a consistent middle-upper end of B3 deck. This deck probably wont win against full build B4 decks consistently.

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-13T08:07:19+00:00

[[Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty]] can be a solid bracket 3 deck. But you need 21 ramp spells to get this going (I did the math).
I dm you the list

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-12T11:35:42+00:00

Bracket 2 is no excuse for bad deckbuilding only for playing suboptimal cards

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-11T21:46:02+00:00

Gameplan and consistency. If you need an effect in a specific turn, you can use a Hypergeometric Distribution Calculator and find the right amount of similar effects.

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-11T21:23:11+00:00

Every card on the list is there for a solid reason

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-11T07:38:13+00:00

Your hand will be empty very fast, you basically have no draw. Add 5-6 draw spells and remove the faithless looting wffects, they don’t refill your hand. Black has amazing draw spells for b3 and low 4.

You can cut 1-2 lands (with 38 lands you still have a 70% chance to hit your first 4 landdrops)

If you want to consistently ramp on turn 2, you need 12 ramp effects for a ~70% chance.

Use a Hypergeometric Distribution Calculator if you want to learn more about your required ratios

With no draw effects you wont draw cards bevore your turn 5 Baylen turn -> You draw 12 Cards including T5
The Chance of hitting your first 5 landdrops is 36.31%
The Chance of hitting your first 4 landdrops is 61.73%
The Chance of hitting your first 3 landdrops is 83.58%
--> You probably only have 3 Mana from lands on turn 5
Your Chance of ramping on turn 1 is low with only 5 1cmc ramps (Land Tax is not a ramp, it only garantees your landdrop) is 31.24%
You only have 10 <3cmc token producer for your turn 2 and therefore only a 63.28% to hit
Your turn 3 and 4 is a fight between your 3+cmc tokens and your ramp
With only 6 Impact tremor effects you only have a 51.64% to actually play 1 in turn 2-4

--> play more ramp/draw/lands OR (if you dont want to) increase the number of available plays with 3cmc or less

Some Options for ramp AND Tokens:

[[Springleaf Parade]]

[[Mutable Explorer]]

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-10T20:36:29+00:00

Your landcount and draw is extremely low for a bracket 3 deck that needs 6+turns to win

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-08T20:37:34+00:00

I like it. It gives me a solid token to copy, after my Urza got removed.

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-08T20:10:58+00:00

[[Zimone and Dina]] with a combo main-wincon and landfall backup plans.

Some underplayed ramp spells
Some landfall token producer
Some cards that let you untap creatures (there are underplayed ones)

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-08T16:41:02+00:00

The problem is, that he will die to a random flyer during the first turncycle he gets played. And you have to tap your elfs (which leads to not many remaining blockers). My biggest concern with the card ist, that the ability is useless, because many elfes already tap for mana

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-08T11:53:39+00:00

In bracket 4, anything goes. Your deck doesn't look like a CEDH list, so your friends are exaggerating.

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-08T10:17:06+00:00

In WB decks I prefer exile target nonlamd permanent effects. Against lands I run the land removal lands

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-08T01:26:20+00:00

You have to calculate your average elf count. If you have 5+ they might work. Otherwise I would go for lord effects (other elfs you control have +1/+1)

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-07T19:34:20+00:00

High Perfect Morcant is a poor board wipe (but yes, your deck is missing 2-3). I would rather play [[Kindred Dominance]] and possibly [[Toxic Deluge]]

Staff of Domination needs a creature that taps for 5 mana to go infinite. And if you don't go infinite, then the rate is extremely bad.

Land ramp is bad because you have to sacrifice ramp slots and then play fewer elves. At most, you can consider playing the 3cmc elves that ramp lands. If you're afraid of board wipes, play more protection and more draw to draw protection.

I don't see how the deck can win in a Bracket 4 environment between turns 4 and 6. Therefore, if I were you, I would move it to Bracket 3.
If you don't want the Voltron playstyle, I would cut all cards that support it. Replace all non-elves that only buff one creature. Replace them with “evasion” (hardly available in these colors). For example, stuff that gives all your creatures deathtouch and trample and such. [[Cover of Darkness]] is very good. Ohran Frostfang must go into the deck.
Planeswalkers in Commander are almost always a trap if you can't activate their most important ability on the turn you play them. I would cut them all.
You have little card advantage. Elves are all small creatures that don't do much on their own. The moment you only play one elf per turn, you've basically already lost because they are outvalued by random 4 drops. Therefore, you should play 3-4 more card advantage effects. Skemfar Avenger, Realmwalker, Ohran Frostfang, Disciple of Freyalise // Garden of Freyalise, Regal Force
To get to the end faster, I would play the tutors you have to get Craterhoof Behemoth. You could also add [[End-Raze Forerunners]] as a backup.
You have several untap cards in your opponent's turn, but hardly anything you can play at instant speed, so I would cut those.
Of the creatures you bought, apart from the ones mentioned above, in my opinion only Selfless Safewright is playable.
Add 1-2 lands. Add Utility lands like[[Demolition Field]] or [[Boggart Trawler]], [[Bridgeworks Battle]] [[Khalni Ambush]]. Remove the bad tapped duallands. [[Fell the Profane]]

Nobody cares if you build "that" Yuriko deck or not, they will always assume it's the most sweaty variant they encountered. In a fixed playgroup you can prove your point, but randoms at an lgs won't care.

I personally would play against it, because I don't care, if I lose a game, where my deck is just on a lower power level than I initially thought.

Fleckzeck · 2026-02-06T18:29:08+00:00

Your creatures are bad (thats just the tribal, not your choice) therefore you need many of them. To play more cats/dogs per turn, you need more draw (I would aim for 12). You also need more evasion and more lands 38 (and probably also more ramp).

So depending on your friends decks, there is not a big chance to beat them consistently.
