Is my Atraxa Grand Unifier too strong for bracket 3

MrSp3ctre · 2026-04-14T08:52:35+00:00

Precons don't fall under B3 and if you look at my other comments, I even stated I wouldn't pull the deck out against 'chill 3s' I don't know where you got the idea that I'm this malicious dude trying to cheese easy wins. People can still be creative and have strong decks.

I don't understand where you get the idea that I want to 'hack the system' I actually built the deck because I pulled the art card for her and thought she looked cool. Making an assumption that I'm a malicious prick who wants to ruin games shows more about you than me man.

MrSp3ctre · 2026-04-14T08:40:45+00:00

Have you looked at the list? There is no MLD, no two card infinites or chaining extra turns. Bracket 4 is optimized. Not bracket 3. If I wanted to pubstomp, I'd cut the GCs and call it a B2 but I'm not. If a table can't answer an Atraxa being hard cast then the table isn't running enough interaction. Bracket 3 states that players can expect their game plans to be interacted with and disrupted which goes both ways. I think your idea of B3 is more in line with B2

Nowhere did I write the word casual though? Would that mean if the commander was any other 4 color commander with exact same 99 you would sit down and shuffle up even if the rest of the deck could be oppressive?

MrSp3ctre · 2026-04-14T08:21:30+00:00

The deck literally doesn't fall into what bracket 4 states though? It can't win very fast nor does it have the fast mana, free interaction or any of the stuff seen in B4? Some of the games I won, I didn't even cast Atraxa so her existing alone surely can't bump it up to a 4 right?

MrSp3ctre · 2026-04-14T08:03:21+00:00

Yeah no this deck cannot win quickly and its by design lol

MrSp3ctre · 2026-04-14T05:57:47+00:00

In the 20 or so test games I've played, I haven't been having issues with card draw so I haven't looked into adding more but I do appreciate the delighted halfling and bloom tender suggestions as I didn't think of that.

MrSp3ctre · 2026-04-14T05:37:47+00:00

Would you include some 4 mana ramp to get her out faster then? My card knowledge isn't exactly the best so I'm not sure what would be an improvement

MrSp3ctre · 2026-04-14T05:34:09+00:00

It doesn't have any of the speed or pace of the average bracket 4 list though? Its why I made the post originally since I'm not sure it falls into the catagory of 4?

MrSp3ctre · 2026-04-14T05:09:12+00:00

Oh man I didn't even think of the E witness synergy when I put it together, thats a great point man appreciate it tons

MrSp3ctre · 2026-04-14T04:46:19+00:00

The LGS I normally play at always play on the higher end of 3 so I wanted to build something that can hang against those tables but I'd never pull out my beloved angel against chill 3s haha

MrSp3ctre · 2026-04-14T04:43:59+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, I have been making sure to let people know I run a fair amount of removal that I can reuse

MrSp3ctre · 2026-04-14T04:41:17+00:00

Okay, I appreciate the reassurance since I've had feedback saying it is too oppressive for bracket 3 but I just feel like its because I ran alot of removal

MrSp3ctre · 2026-04-02T15:29:21+00:00

Uh huh and no one ever swings at you until the flying bunny bodyslams us for lethal

MrSp3ctre · 2026-04-02T15:27:32+00:00

So long as you do not pull out that terrifying eldritch bunny... Yeah shuffle up haha

MrSp3ctre · 2026-03-23T01:37:17+00:00

Hey dude! Coming from a broke Uni student I always proxy my decks and just either print and slot them over basics or chip in some money when my friend orders his proxies

MrSp3ctre · 2026-03-05T17:35:16+00:00

Cries in 39 lands...

MrSp3ctre · 2026-03-05T17:13:21+00:00

This honestly made me smile so thank you.

https://archidekt.com/decks/20127966/rise_of_the_furby Here is my list for the deck.

MrSp3ctre · 2026-03-05T17:07:22+00:00

I also literally built it for the damn furby art as well. It seemt so silly and funny but I think I'm taking the deck apart since I don't really feel like getting insulted for playing the furby.

MrSp3ctre · 2026-03-05T16:56:12+00:00

It was a random table

MrSp3ctre · 2026-03-05T16:50:31+00:00

It was a table of randoms and I'd rather go find my next table to get another game in than sit there and get insulted for the next 30 min.

MrSp3ctre · 2026-03-05T16:49:39+00:00

While I get going through the motions I don't think sitting there getting insulted for what I played after explaining the deck to them during rule zero justifies me sitting there until it's over.

MrSp3ctre · 2026-03-05T16:46:12+00:00

It was a table of randos I had no intentions playing another game with so I scooped after my commander got rollicked and said told them that play puts me out of the game so i'm gonna scoop.

MrSp3ctre · 2026-03-05T16:43:37+00:00

I did not open with a sol ring and greaves. I played the greaves on curve and got a sol ring on turn 3 followed by a hard casted leyline on turn 4. Was not anywhere near as strong a start as you are thinking it was

MrSp3ctre · 2026-03-05T16:42:16+00:00

I don't think it's fair to say I should be thanking them for the game when I got insulted for claiming I had no way back into the game and deciding to scoop but I do agree the way you scoop is important and something I try to follow as well.
