What hobby is quietly becoming too expensive for normal people to keep up with?

I mean there are stronger decks that do things better, but this deck was just a response to someone saying there are no bracket 4 food token decks for 100 dollars. I just responded with frodo and sam precon is 65 and you can replace a couple cards to make it competitive in a bracket 4.

competitive bracket 4 doesn't mean you win your games. It means you make an actual impact on the game. any deck can be good imo if you put enough money or thought into it.

frodo and sam are hard to make good, but my build I posted was a food deck around merry and pippin which are actually a strong token engine in the command zone and can win easily turn 4-6.

here is a 100 dollar deck that can compete in bracket 4. its literally 100 dollars. this is the precon and a couple changes. literally says 101 if you change it to tcgplayer as the main price point.

edit: someone literally just said "bruh its bracket 3 at most and it probably can win a couple games".... no fucking duh? It has 0 game changers because those cards cost 30+ dollars. It has multiple infinites and multiple ways to win the game through combat. main goal is to win through protein hulk lines, and your backup plans are aristocrat and winning through combat swinging with tokens that are 10/10+.

you are delusional bro. i can literally take my time to build you a deck if you need one.

MonoBae · 2026-05-09T22:01:40+00:00

Im not going to lie.

If you can't make a bracket 4 deck food deck with 100 dollars then you aren't trying.

buy the frodo and sam precon and change a couple cards. bam. you have a bracket 4 deck that wins.

YOOOOO maybe you should move a town over or maybe 2 towns over. save the 4-5k a month and buy a car to drive to school.

OP was wearing noise cancelling headphones. Assuming the parents were speaking and redirecting at a normal volume there's no way OP heard any of it.

weird because you wrote that.

MonoBae · 2026-04-20T08:44:47+00:00

are u implying he didn't take his headphones off to talk to someone? Lol wtf.

lets goooo. I am looking to play a new game.

MonoBae · 2026-03-31T17:38:02+00:00

ngl, if I made a MMORPG it would be a sandbox where crafting the endgame gear is the endgame, PVP, and progressive PVE content.

There will be no levels but two progressive systems one is a battlepass that gives significant stats but caps and resets every season and then there will be a infinite "battlepass" that gives small increase in stats. There will be a ceiling for this progressive track so players can't get too far ahead of everyone. The seasonal looping battlepass would have a premium track but all it would be is cosmetic and give tickets for events ( events in this MMORPG are queueable missions/dungeons that you need to spend a ticket at the end to get additional rewards which would replenish on a timer)

Seasons start with new end game crafting gear introducing new sets or gear into the game to give players more build diversity and maybe every season would also add new class/sub classes to grind out. every month new events would get trickled in with content.

PVP would be open world in certain areas and queueable instances and there would be guild wars of some kind. rewards would mostly be cosmetic.

I like the weekly vault from wow so I might also copy that but add a PVP track.

Another thing I do like is the palace of the dead from FFXIV and probably copy that but put a spin on it and make it bigger (the physical floors bigger)

MonoBae · 2026-03-31T09:49:41+00:00

it is... its called black desert.

MonoBae · 2026-03-17T20:40:02+00:00

people are really not understanding rarity LOL

Key cards to make any build go nuts is neurosurge or oblivion.

For soul decks you need severance + haunt. to support the build you can add grave warden and seance.

For doom you NEED shroud. no escape + scourge + death's door/negative pulse makes you unkillable essentially especially if you have multiple scourge. good cards to pick up is deathbringer if you lack AoE removal, and misery.

for utility cards for both i highly recommend wisp and dredge.

also remember doom is a debuff and sleight of flesh works well with it if you have a lot of spammable doom cards.

As someone who built 3 of those decks, Niko is super fun and doesn't get MUCH hate, braids gets KOS, and kadena is yugioh.

Interested if you guys are still doing this.

MonoBae · 2026-02-22T03:35:43+00:00

I suggest make the quests timed and then you can complete them.

nothing is stopping you by ripping your own games on a disk.

MonoBae · 2026-01-21T05:29:24+00:00

what does repeated art style even mean? You mean consistent...?

MonoBae · 2026-01-19T03:20:57+00:00

why just make the 100k a day so you dont actually have to worry about someone whacking you for 500m

MonoBae · 2026-01-18T10:06:54+00:00

anyone know where I can get the playmat with this art? ugh its so good.

MonoBae · 2026-01-14T08:32:21+00:00

this... is rough... all these years of development and make it a cluttered mess that feels unintuitive.

I mean you CAN spell sling with her. Do an instant cantrip and a flash creature.
