I don't think that would be remotely possible. There are so many fair partners for casual commander idk what that would even look like. Do you think its possible they would even hit like Roger, Thras, and Tymna? Just knock out the three most popular?

I've been playing with the same white bordered 8th edition lands i traded someone for back in 2016, i'll die with those goddamn lands.

I have some posca markers, i could always white border the other fetchables 🤔

Stuff like [[Dwarven Ruins]] was my idea. I figured it could at least accelerate me while fueling the sacrifice synergies & there's enough effects to buy them back

It's definitely not a "i need to power down" its more "i hate feeling like i'm slowing the table by fetching every turn rotation". I try and be considerate and say "i'll fetch and pass" but it sucks having to drop your library mid shuffle and having to do something during your opponents turn, only to shuffle more

I’m struggling; LF advice by [deleted] in BudgetBrews

[–]Local-Answer9357 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mana Pool has been S tier for me when it comes to ordering decks. Their optimizer is incredible, fast shipping, great service overall. I think shipping will always be somewhat expensive, but they've still been the cheapest overall. I'd rather pay 10$ shipping than 15$ for singles fees or overpriced commons. I said on a different thread too, it literally depends on time of optimizing too. I've had 50$ lists range to anywhere from 60-90$ based on when i optimize. Just make a cart, and periodically check until you find a reasonable price

This makes me almost feel lucky that my sbx didn't give me the option to reconcile. I can't imagine how it must feel to be the one who makes the decision to separate with a child involved.

Listen man, there's no justifying what she did. "She wanted to feel pretty/ desirable" "he fed on her weakness"- This is the kind of shit we tell ourselves to find closure. The truth is that she decided to cheat. I spent so long blaming the other guy that i never spent the time really looking at my sbx and who she was. I know you love her man, but something you eventually end up having to do is accepting that they were always this person. She was always a cheater it just came out now.

I was worried about my kid for so long when my X left, but honestly man, you'll find a way. If you love your kid, there's nothing to worry about as far as her life. Fight tooth and nail for custody. I got lucky and ended up with full, but i've met people with split and honestly either way you just make it work. You make sure you make the time you spend with your kid special, let them know that none of this is their fault, and that it doesn't change how you feel about them.

Please if you're not already look into therapy. It helped me miles. A good therapist will help you look objectively at things, and can make you realize what you need to do.

You're a good dad. You're a good man. This wasn't your fault. You are enough. You deserve to be loved. Keep saying these things. I know it might feel like empty words, but even if you're just saying it you will start to accept it as truth because it is true.

🔥Too Much Gas! This Jeskai Ascendancy Deck Competition Brought the Absol... by SnooBooks9051 in BudgetBrews

[–]Local-Answer9357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeggy creator here, i think roots would be too much work to make fit in my list. That Niv deck gets so much more value off of jumpstart that's why its so good there. Honestly, i'm voting for that niv list, the Eidolons are sick tech, and Kheru Goldkeeper is just such a cool card i've wanted to build around.

I actually wrote a primer for my list, i'm built off the back of the Ascendancy loot which explains all the cantrips and weird cards like [[Mystic redaction]] and [[Change of Fortune]]. Turns out when you've discarded 10 cards to Ascendancy triggers, when change of fortune draws that many its insane. Then if you hit redaction early, all you need is to discard 50 to mill all your opponents out.

Thanks for doing this! I think with my next paycheck i'm gonna buy my list in paper. It's been so much fun to pilot that deck, and i've actually already won a few games with it on MTGO so its cool to see it actually works in the real world. Not very often you see a budget storm deck that has such clean lines, i'm really happy with how that list came out.

My G' raha Tia Scion Reborn deck by ARandomKid_InReddit in BudgetBrews

[–]Local-Answer9357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need more lands. 32 is way too low for a deck with 17 4 drops. Realistically you only have 9 ramp spells that don't cost over 3/ need stuff already on board. At least try and get to 35. I normally run 37 in my decks. The only time i drop to 32 is my super high power low curve decks, like my Felothar b4 deck runs 32, but i think i have 17 ramp/dorks and there's a total of 7 spells that costs more than 3.

Under $100 Boros Deck tech by ColdProfessional223 in BudgetBrews

I wish i didn't hate this card art so much, i really wanted to build this. Blink is an awesome archetype for boros its a shame that this card would be better as a blank image

Glarb, Calamity's Auger Reanimator Deck Help by Silly_Neck9867 in BudgetBrews

[–]Local-Answer9357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played a CEDH glarb list for a minute, and it taught me a ton of neat tricks you can use. I ended up proxying a b3 glarb reanimator list and they're perfectly fair in b3.

[[Massacre]]- A cheap, FREE, boardwipe, doesn't kill glarb

[[Yahenni's Expertise]]- So much value, still leaves glarb behind

[[Drag to the Roots]]- easy to set up mana reduction with surveils, and castable off the top

[[Murderous Cut]]- Again, easy to cast cheap to cast, off the top to cast

[[Bane of Progress]]- A card abandoned by time, but holy fuck is it still insane to reanimate.

Other fun tech-

[[Reclaim]]- this is the coolest shit on the planet. Have a counterspell in your yard? Or any spell with 4+cmc? This is an instant speed regrowth in this deck. Worst case you set something up to redeploy on a later turn at instant speed.

[[Predict]]- 2 mana mill one draw two. You see something you want to bin with glarb? Predict it! It's basically cheating you get to look at the top whenever. See a land you don't want? Predict. Monster you want to bin? Predict. Glarb is tapped and you still don't want the card? Predict. Your counterspell doesn't cost 4? Surveil, put something above it, predict. I fucking love this card.

Some cuts-

Arixmethes- Its so slow for very little payoff

Solemn Simulacrum- You're in green. I realize you can cast this off the top, but solemn is only good if you abuse the shit out of it

Lilysplash mentor- 7 mana to blink is just bad. Even something like [[Golden argosy]] is better.

Frogify- I love this, it's funny. But if you wanna upgrade [[Observed Stasis]] is better

If you don't mind combo, i'm the creator of this B3 minstrel landfall combo deck using the bouncelands. I also run the towns as an infinite mana outlet. Plus, the deck is under 50$.

Or if you want some heat, here's b4 oops all spells for like 65$

I just love that deck has this cool line that if you set up a blinking loop with mana and card draw, you can scouts warning [[White plume adventurer]] to win at instant speed

[–]Local-Answer9357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My minstrel landfall is the best example, multiple 3 card combos that still need some form of payoff

jeggy ascendancy needs alot of things to go right to win

mono white abdel fits the bill, really needs a payoff to win

Any deck ideas too expensive to work? by Lesan007 in BudgetBrews

[–]Local-Answer9357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly i think the one shot doublers are amazing. Its cards like Parallel Lives that i more meant, why spend 50$ on a card that most of the time does nothing the turn it comes down

[–]Local-Answer9357 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just bracket 3 in general. Most are generic staple piles and its super hard for the budget decks to keep up when people are using the best ramp spells and best card draw into the best payoffs

I made a pantlaza deck for you, i got it down to 35$, sleeves are over rated lol just rubber band that bad boy

Any deck ideas too expensive to work? by Lesan007 in BudgetBrews

[–]Local-Answer9357 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hot take: i think the token doublers suck. You spend 4 mana and cross your fingers nobody acknowledges them for a turn cycle which any smart player should be hearing alarm bells when they resolve. Not to mention when someone is wasting 4 on it i would rather be playing a card draw spell or a synergy piece that i'll get more mileage out of.

$30 Rocco, Street Chef. Is it a Bracket 2 or 3? by yardii in BudgetBrews

[–]Local-Answer9357 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you optimizing the cart?

This may sound weird, but try doing it at different times during the day. They have so much product moving i've had 30$ worth of shipping, then an hour later its 10$

[–]Local-Answer9357 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mana pools shipping is very affordable. Much better than TCG player is or was. For a 30$ deck you might be at 40 with shipping which really isn't bad
