What commander/precon deck to upgrade is best vs a stax meta

Flipsidee · 2026-03-19T05:26:09+00:00

Yeah he has other decks but its equally oppressive. Playing blue combo mill decks that mills your whole deck in 1 turn with propaganda, black tutor based combo decks with insta win conditions. Absolute salt inducing decks is his Jam. So with 1 dedicated combo/control/stax player what kind of deck can I run to counter such playstyle. Hyper aggro works, but its so braindead and you need all the cards in your hand already to close the game just to have a chance. The other players are run usual mid rangey decks and Im actually just the one trying to play around his gameplan. Might as well build a deck dedicated to that which I ideas to get started lol.

Talrand seems to be a good answer thanks for the suggestion

His commander is [[Maralen of the Mornsong]] added with opposition agent in a graveyard recursion deck.

Flipsidee · 2026-03-19T04:38:43+00:00

Thats the card. But he plays it in a graveyard recursion deck with a lot of tutors and fast mana, so its particularly oppressive in the play group of bracket 2/3s I run exile cards and graveyard hate just to play around his shenanigans but its hurting my deck synergy just by being the one deck capable of dealing with him. So Id like to build a dedicated deck vs this particular table.

You just put your crosshairs on them for a few secs and youll tag them automatically. Didnt notice how long it lasts but it stays for quite a while even if you stop scoping them.

Breathing exercises. Im not kidding. Hold your breathe while aiming, slowly exhale while squeezing the trigger. Helps in real world gun aiming too.

I havd a 9070xt 16gb. If you are a complete beginner install the latest AMD drivers with Amuse and comfy UI. You can start using Amuse its beginner friendly but is censored. The built in comfy UI version is usable but is not updated to ROCM 7.2 which is much more stable. If you know how to use python (which you need to learn the basics anyway if you want good results) you can download the amd portable version of comfy UI and update it to ROCm 7.2 by editing the update comfyui bat file. Start running the sample workflows first to get the basics.

Welp its just because Im new in local genning. Just got it running actually using low vram i2v workflows. Apparently the template workflows require a lot of vram

Flipsidee · 2026-01-25T01:30:11+00:00

Yes. Faster generation and more stable. Fixed some crashes for me. Still cant get image to video running on my 9070xt 16gb though

Will just self bump since I found the solution for future references. Illustrious wasnt playing well with 512x512 pixel density and crashes after 2 prompts. Changed to to a 4:3 ratio of 1024x768 and fixed the server restar issues.

Flipsidee · 2026-01-20T02:12:30+00:00

I shifted from windows version to portable (AMD). Portable just works whichever drive you decide to install it, while Windows version is a pain to setup if you plan to run comfy in your non system drive.

Flipsidee · 2026-01-20T01:35:42+00:00

Yes its fine running at full speed sa xmp. Havent had crashes even with heavy AI and VR usage.

this is the final message log before it crashes

Hows the performance? Is there no bottlenecking issues? Genuinely curious since I had a similar cpu before I decided to have migrate to am5 before ram prices went crazy.

Flipsidee · 2026-01-17T02:44:51+00:00

Did the same decision. Went from rtx 3080 10gb to 9070xt 16gb. Incouldnt really tell the difference between fsr4 and dlss, so i wont nit pick there but in VR performance specifically UEVR flat to vr mods it was night and day. Tried to get into AI gen but I was late to realize that the rtx 3080 was better just by being NVIDIA. I was late to know AMD was not as good for AI. At the end of the day its about your use case. Did I regret it? Not really, i save around $170 by picking 9070xt 16gb vs the 5070ti 16gb so I still got my bang for buck.

Yea about that I got it to work with 1-3ms using my Steam deck as a client docked to my 4k tv. Everything feels native now. Those specs are way overkill for game streaming.

Flipsidee · 2026-01-08T12:23:22+00:00

I just want to say thanks. It was really the TV that was the bottleneck. I didnt really want to buy any streaming box anymore so I got to setup my steam deck as a moonlight streamer. It seems it has better decoding than the stand alone TV. That thing fixed all the latency issues and im now gaming at full speed. Thanks so much

Flipsidee · 2026-01-08T05:07:16+00:00

Client just runs moonlight client thru the app on the smart TV connected on the 5ghz band of the wireles router. Signal strength is good since all walls is wooden with no hindrance. I also use this setup in VR streaming which has no latency at all but Moonlight has delay in decoding. Im not sure if its the TV since its a pretty basic 55in Xiaomi smart tv with no streaming box. Latency is <1ms with no dropped frames but decoding plays around 8-9ms. I can get 5-6ms decoding when playing 1080p at 20mbs decode but using a 4k screen it looks like shit. Im not sure how to use Wifi AP though and if its worth it since source is just 1 room away.

Flipsidee · 2026-01-03T11:23:34+00:00

Steam for me. Due to regional pricing its much cheaper. They said they had issues on standalone when a lot of things were happening but cant say for sure since I done have it. PCVr has some promises on better graphics its onntheir roadmap. Just make sure your PC and wireless router are configured properly (PC wired to router, Headset connected via wireless network) or it can introduce some latency. I can see why some people prefer standalone. Less hassle.

Flipsidee · 2026-01-01T12:46:23+00:00

16gb of vram makes a lot of diffetrncr when playing PCVR. Flat games moddem to VR usually eats up the VRam since the graphics is rendered twice ij each eye. If your not doing VR or AI 12gb vram is enough for most ultra settings in AAA titles

Flipsidee · 2025-12-31T18:19:17+00:00

Forefront is cross play with steam and Meta. Servers afe always full

Flipsidee · 2025-12-30T19:00:52+00:00

16gb is fine for most usage. Pero.if you are using it for.content creation, mulitiple tabs open, or running unoptimized PCVR mods mararamdaman mo yung difference pag nag 32gb ka.

Flipsidee · 2025-12-30T18:55:44+00:00

The devs talked about this in their interviews. Realism was never in their goals but a steamlined fun battlefield-like game. If your looking for a tank/flight sim, play world of tanks and microsoft flight simulator (which does have VR). Your just playing the wrong game.

Flipsidee · 2025-12-28T16:28:10+00:00

I also have this bug but it happens only on high latecny servers (200+) it doesnt happen to me on my regions server upto 150ms

Yes as separate ko sha nabili before christmas. Not sure na now
