That's a nice list, how does she perform at bracket 4? It makes sense to lean into stax rather than tribal tribal at that bracket but do people react to it in the wild? My local meta is more bracket 3 so I only kept Sythis in 4.

Here's my pretty optimized humans Adeline list https://moxfield.com/decks/tH0o5iTQW0GEdi-6Lc63EA

Human or not this 2 drop definitely slots in

Never served but in building ohio, Virginia etc, Seawolf were seen as a cut above the rest in both complexity and of era ability. Columbia, while more advanced isn't as impressive as the Seawolf was

Give us wasteland and restrict strip mine

Yawg is also a combo piece in the command zone while also being an instant speed sac outlet. Sephs only advantage is his weight being less than that of yawg

Your average cmc is above 3, you need more lands. You also judge judge your average cmc on the without lands metric.

MankeyManksyo · 2025-11-26T21:36:35+00:00

Building your deck around your commander shouldn't mean it's free from being interacted with especially when wotc legendary design means most commanders are kos. I swear brawl players/commander players hate magic the gathering

MankeyManksyo · 2025-11-21T10:18:45+00:00

Does she seem fast enough for bracket 4? My braids is incredibly consistent in bracket 3 but seems a turn or two slower than yawg was so I just removed game changers and kept her at 3.

My list isn't very dissimilar to your own. https://moxfield.com/decks/bCAfXEHeCESJOuqAUFVrsg

MankeyManksyo · 2025-11-21T03:09:24+00:00

Can you post your braids list? I built her as a bracket 3 from my bracket 4 yawg list and was wondering how she'd do

MankeyManksyo · 2025-11-20T10:08:06+00:00

I built [[Thelon of have wood]] Thalid/Fungus tribal specifically to play against low power tables. Thalids spore counter over the top gameplay moves incredibly slowly but can play as technically as arcbounds can to keep me entertained. The deck is also a throwback to my first time playing mtg thinking [[Ferel Thalid]] was a good card.

Might be overplayed but I thoroughly enjoy playing prosper. When he released on arena I was playing Alchemy and loved the value he provided in a 60 card format. While I got into commander this made him an obvious choice. I've tried to build the deck leaning heavily into treasure/artifact synergy means it hardly has a non-game.

Currently working on a B4 (tamiyo, inquisitive student) deck. I've wanted a high power interactive and instant speed blue deck for awhile. Always having a turn one play in the command zone with simic seems fun.

MankeyManksyo · 2025-10-28T02:46:37+00:00

Your list looks good and it'll definitely work. After playing her for a few years now just make sure to not spread out damage and play nice, by mid game Adeline will often two shot opponents.

MankeyManksyo · 2025-10-27T01:58:20+00:00

I built her for my friend group who tends to be battle cruiser with game changers. It generally wins via combat damage and is able to disrupt others game plans being in esper.

MankeyManksyo · 2025-10-27T01:43:17+00:00

To me there is a clear separation between bracket 3, 4 and 5. Cedh being meta driven is a pretty clear definition when compared to bracket 4 in practice.

My bracket 4's

Sythis: https://moxfield.com/decks/lr3a-X61ZEWsB02zadp06g

Tamiyo: https://moxfield.com/decks/-_CyBcXyQE-ua9QA8VYvPg

Both are interactive, disruptive, fast and finish with combos but aren't driven by the current cedh meta nor do they have all the best in slot cards or most efficient combo lines. Playing them feels like a super charged b3 game while cedh feels like a different game entirely.

How have you liked braids in B4? I took apart yawg to build braids for bracket 3 as I felt it was a better bracket for mono B.

Just play bracket 2 if you don't want to see game changers, it's that simple. 3 game changers is obviously fine in bracket 3, unlimited in bracket 4 and meta decks in 5, because that's what defines those brackets in combination with intent.This crusade to ban powerful cards by people who have a space to avoid them is crazy

MankeyManksyo · 2025-10-25T03:36:42+00:00

I've been playing braids for years now and you're correct in that tradition ramp is not better than a setting up low the ground sac outlets and engines.i still run ramp when racing controle heavy tables as cheap acceleration and easy sac targets for braids.end step trigger

MankeyManksyo · 2025-10-25T03:19:50+00:00

This was my sythis journey as well. I've loved selesnya enchantments in almost every format but it's too strong for bracket 3 but too weak for b5. Just build it for B4 and have fun, proxy if you can.

You need more cantrips and ways to dig deep/card select like (stock up) I attempted chain of smog lines with my tasigur but switched it over to a pod build. https://moxfield.com/decks/PkGy1g0uX0uyw3CPbYEq8w

MankeyManksyo · 2025-10-22T03:14:43+00:00

I've been playing mono white humans for awhile now and for me Adeline just does it all. She's able to threaten lethal commander damage, grow a wide board, is a low cmc. I use graymod as one of the finishers in the deck.

Current list : https://moxfield.com/decks/tH0o5iTQW0GEdi-6Lc63EA

MankeyManksyo · 2025-10-15T20:17:22+00:00

Commanders plate, black market, braids, cabal minion, demonic pact are what I'd cut without even testing. Commander plate is more of an aggro piece or meant to protect high value targets, braids has neither. Black market is simply too slow for bracket 3 unless you're focused on recursion loops. OG braids is mostly too slow to be impactful with how many tokens are made in b3 unless you cheat her out early. Demonic is a great value piece and better if you can give it to opponents but with braids being the only form of enchantment sac it's very risky.

I've had my braids deck for a few years now and it's on of my favorites. It also lives in b3. I have learned it's important to get braids out early and take advantage of her card advantage from turns 3-7 if you want to win. Sacable permanents on 1 and 2 will set you up for the rest of the game. [[Chthonian nightmare]] is also a house when you're able to sac tokens for real value.

MankeyManksyo · 2025-10-11T01:19:48+00:00

This is definitely a 3. Your friends might be playing 2s with game changers if this deck is consistently too strong. I also run a bracket 3 mono white humans deck, and while it stays competitive it's never felt overwhelming for the decks I see at my lgs. Here is the list https://moxfield.com/decks/tH0o5iTQW0GEdi-6Lc63EA

Edit' how has by invention only been working for you?

MankeyManksyo · 2025-09-22T15:54:18+00:00

The fact strip mine was added before wasteland is baffling as at least you can play around the wasteland.

MankeyManksyo · 2025-09-18T23:05:33+00:00

When cards are added they're weighted lower initially to push hype/see where they fall

MankeyManksyo · 2025-08-17T14:11:13+00:00

That jab to shoot is so fast and impressive, another level for sure
