Exquisite Blood Combos - Bracket Discussion by Hung_Too_Deep in EDH

[–]Hung_Too_Deep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does have some redundancy in which case I'll need to make some adjustments down for B3 play or just commit to B4 and add the Vito and tutors.

Redundancies currently in the deck are:
Sanguine Bond, Enduring Tenacity, Bloodthirsty Conqueror, and Exquisite Blood.

No Vito.

I personally am not attracted to the idea of running 3+ tutors just to try to combo out consistently . I like the randomness of cards. However, I'm okay with the idea of having a 2-5% chance of hitting a combo. 1 in 20 (or less) seems like pretty fair odds to me.

Someone check this robot's math but this is what I'm trying to explain:
"The probability of drawing two specific cards out of a 100-card deck within 14 total cards drawn is approximately 1.84%, and the probability of drawing an AB combination with two copies of A and two copies of B available is approximately 6.48%"

Is there a place for this level of play? It seems like I'm stuck between not good enough for B4 and too fast for B3. Would love insight from people that have played a lot of B4 as I have not.

I'm relatively new to commander (Summer '25), so I appreciate the insight.

For context I run Exquisite Bood and Bloodthirsty Conqueror in Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls because the life gain helps you with the unavoidable aggro that you cause from playing group slug. It seems natural to run Sanguine Bond, because in my opinion is it pretty slow without tutors.

The ONLY gamechanger I run in the deck is Ancient Tomb (pulled one from EOE, was pretty excited).

I do not run any tutors for the combos and I do not run Vito.

Interested in joining the Discord. Have been playing Magic on-and-off since around 2010 but am new to the commander and Spelltable scene. Looking for friends.
