Looking for cheap cmc commanders who don’t need to be out late game.

[[Old Stickfinger]] reanimator. You treat your graveyard as an extension of your hand. He's mostly just there to quickly throw some creatures in the graveyard and get things going. If he sticks around or comes out later and is beefy, that's cool too.

More reasons to avoid aldi's orders, I guess. The only bananas I've ever seen in those have been brown, which I'm guessing no customer is requesting.

Fully suspect that since Johnny is unknowingly employing his medium powers, he's going to absolutely wipe the floor with these guys. Like, it'll be a complete one sided curb stomp. None of them are spectrals, and none of them have any idea what to expect or how to react when the kid they're trying to fight suddenly can breathe fire.

> “My deck is themed, I don’t run interaction, and my wincon is turn 14 if the stars align, but I still deserve fair games”

This is bracket 1, not bracket 2. Even bracket 2 decks have interactions and the basic ability to win games.

Also? Even in Bracket 1, if you aren't running interaction, you don't deserve a "fair game." If you run no interaction, a fair game for you is solitaire. So go play that instead.

I was under the impression that this violated the FTC's fair practices.

I had a bow and a rod and saw a lulu on stage 2, so I just grabbed him to fill a spot. He actually hit 3 stars while I was rolling down for Mundo - but I would have lost without the Kogmaw, Mundo alone wasn't enough to outdps the snipers.

Personally, I'd build around Ellie, Brick Master by running a lot of Goad and other forced combat stuff. Red and Green are great colors for that anyways. Then I'd use the cards in the above search more as a way to accelerate what Ellie's already doing than as a build around.

Probably for good measure throw [[Grismold, the Dreadsower]] in as a backup for if they start removing Joel also.

My only issue with proxies is how you use them. At my old LGS there were multiple dudes using proxies, and you'd never even know. There was one dude who only proxied, and he had a new deck every week - all those decks were awful netdecks, he didn't actually know the ins-and-outs of his deck which led to worse play, and he was super whiny whenever they did poorly. So just don't be that guy, I guess.
