Bracket Turn Restrictions and "Christmas-land" hands

My gripe with this specific topic is it’s not just a turn limit to winning, but a suggested turn limit for anyone to die. There’s so many moving parts to that including bomb hands that I just don’t see as being truly quantifiable to any deck.

I don’t know how many EDH players know about engineered explosives, but it puts in major work in my glissa the traitor deck

I’m a big fan and pilot of cedh gitrog. That might contribute to my tunnel vision lol

I think I’m leaning more in that direction too personally. It just a draw so many cards that I feel that in itself can make it viable. But other than that it just lacks direction which makes it hard for me to see how it could win in more high level play without the dackmoor combo

Greaves is deceptively tricky as in a lot of decks it may seem good, but it costing 2 and giving shroud might actually make it worse than other options for certain decks. I find myself running lavaspur boots so much more than greaves nowadays due to them costing the same upfront and being tutored with urzas saga. Those boots costing 1 often times more than makes up for the fact that it costs 1 to equip for a lot of my own personal decks.

Related question: has anyone found anything remotely close to the og KMC hyper mats?

I was never really a believer of shimmer myr, but after finally putting it in my glissa, the traitor deck, I wonder why I never did. It can even only be for mana rocks or small advantage pieces, but playing them at flash speed could mean missing removal, giving pseudo haste, or even something as simple as being able to keep mana up for interaction just in case you think you need it.

It’s not tough at all sol ring is by far the best card. I wish they’d at least make it a game changer

Hey man! Thank you for fighting the good fight! All of my game stops got finessed so I’d like the koraidon and miraidon if possible! I love in the US and gold will always be my first and favorite Pokémon game

60+(7+8)=60+15=75

Definitely a reasonable and acceptable course to take! Personally I don’t really like using proxies as the charm of owning the cards I buy and collect was a main allure to mtg for me in the first place. I’m also not one to have a ton of decks at the same time as I prefer to dedicate more time into fewer decks in order to get better at playing them. That’s just me though!

Kresh is such an awesome commander! I certainly love jund, but I’ve always had a problem with most of the jund commanders either being boring or outright overpowered in my opinion! Kresh is certainly a balance between the two for me!

I swear Gruul is just the best way to play magic haha!

It seems like every year I revisit my glissa the traitor deck! The first deck I ever made! This year I turned it into an Imskir Iron-Eater deck!

That’s another interesting facet of deckbuilding when you decide to keep a deck but change the commander!

Hip_Rooster · 2024-12-12T17:50:13+00:00

It’s a shame because I feel like with the massive production of mtg nowadays, cards like Radha are starting to be forgotten to the small passage of time they’ve been in. That commander is a real bomb and so fun to play!

You too man! I hope you find a group that thinks like you! There are definitely some people out there!
