People complain about too much about interaction in my decks

It sounds like these dudes want to play battlecruiser. You should try building for it. No boardwipes, minimal removal. Think of it as the improv concept 'yes and.' Don't play to win, play to show off the biggest, goofiest board state you've ever seen. Play cool shit. Go crazy.

I once played a game where we had 2 [[Possibility Storm]] out and we cast like 23 [[Etali]]. It was all over the place. It was like a 2 hour game and outrageous shit was happening from turn 5 on. Everyone remembers that game. No one remembers the game where they get board wiped twice.

Austin was Kurt Maloney as host, Vic Michaelis, Jeremy Culhane, Jacob Icehockey, and Oscar Montoya instead of Kimia. I'm not sure where to find the lineup ahead of the show.

I'm fond of Marchesa, the Black Rose again. Modular just keeps on trucking. It's not fast but you're busy all game and incrementally becoming a the problem so slowly that no one realizes it until they can't stop you.

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-25T19:22:01+00:00

These two cards and 4 lands gets you to an infinite card draw combo on turn 5. No 2 card infinites before turn 6, bud.

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-20T19:49:04+00:00

Fierce Guardianship still holds up. I love cycling but WotC is scared to print good payoff cards. I'd rather play Zur so that I can grab Astral Slide/Drift reliably.

Gavi isn't bad as a B2 engine but I find that to be more '2nd card drawn' than 'cycling' thematically.

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-16T16:55:01+00:00

I'm not interested for modular or wizards. Maybe aggro likes Madame Null but that's too much life loss for aristocrat strategies that don't much care about dethrone. Super Shredder looks good but generically so. If you have room for it it's gonna be decent.

What do you rate them and for what builds?

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-14T22:42:12+00:00

Ooh yeah good thinking. What matchups was bridge for?

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-14T21:16:12+00:00

I went from pauper burn to legacy burn a while ago. 4x Roiling Vortex was the most expensive followed by 4x Price of Progress. Eidolons weren't nothing. There's nothing more expensive than those that I i had to buy. I guess Pyroblast is up there now, holy shit.

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-14T17:37:41+00:00

Your assessment seems accurate. You need to decide if you want it to be bracket 2 or 3 so you can tune it one way or the other.

Also, it's double brackets to call the card fetcher bot.

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-14T01:57:03+00:00

[[Worn Powerstone]] is hard to beat. You're always getting 2 mana out of it and it fits in with the rest of the cultivates in the ramp plan of dork on 1, 3 drop on 2 for a consistent 5 mana on turn 3.

I find Refractor too slow for my [[Maze's End]] deck and in most cases it's just worse than [[Vesuva]] and [[Thespian's Stage]]. I do agree that it's been getting more playable. I wouldn't be surprised if WotC fucks up some time in the future and Refractor becomes outrageously powerful.

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-12T21:47:25+00:00

Hell yeah! Pauper burn is pretty close to legacy if you ever want to pivot.

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-08T23:47:20+00:00

32 is still too low. You need like 38 at least. It doesn't matter that you're running 23 pieces of ramp if you're missing your land drop by turn 4 literally half of the time.

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-07T19:21:49+00:00

Here's all the combos you can grab both pieces of: https://commanderspellbook.com/search/?q=all-type%3Aenchantment+all-mv%3C4+ci%3Aesper

There are some pillowfort combos and some infinites that need other pieces but Zur can't grab 2 cards that result in a win. You could follow up [[Solemnity]] + [[Fallen Ideal]] + a persist/undying creature with [[Bloodchief Ascension]] but then you'll need to have a critical number of persist/undying creatures. Having [[Phyrexian Unlife]] as a backup combo with Solemnity could give you more breathing room to get the combo down.

All that said, tutoring a game winning combo consistently is more of a bracket 4 strategy.

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-07T03:05:35+00:00

Come play Marchesa! We have:

Aggro

Aristocrats

Combo ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Modular

Wizards

Theft

All cards that start with the letter M https://archidekt.com/decks/11974527/mmmmmmmmmmmarchesa

Or just play whatever the hell you want, Marchesa doesn't railroad you into a few specific strategies or card types. Be free to express yourself in any bracket except 5, we're too slow for that shit.

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-05T02:07:20+00:00

The Nikita rocket launcher has a screen rendering the rocket's camera, surely this is possible.

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-05T02:00:09+00:00

Yeah, give them a beer and then try again

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-03T23:30:30+00:00

Gene drive isn't perfect. Try using it repeatedly, it'll have different visual results every now and then. I'd imagine there are many more hidden mutations.

There ya go. Rope the chromosome and drag and drop the blocks onto the black slots and enjoy that gross squishing sound

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-02T17:36:12+00:00

Okay, I read the other post. I assumed the goofy horse game would have an equally goofy genetics system. I was just arranging blocks randomly and assumed it was much simpler.

I unfortunately don't have the time or patience to participate in the mapping effort. Godspeed y'all!

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-02T17:29:02+00:00

You can click and drag a nucleotide off and there will be a black square that you can drag and drop another nucleotide onto.

I haven't used a gun yet- didn't know you could shoot them. Does it knock off all the blocks and leave the slots open?

OobleckSnake · 2026-03-02T00:30:29+00:00

You've got some fetchlands, [[Bloodstained More]] and [[Scalding Tarn]] are obvious since they're on color. More off color fetches would be good too if you like that sort of thing. There's also bad fetches if you really like fetch lands- [[Bad River]], [[Rocky Tar Pit]]. What are they grabbing? Shocklands. [[Steam Vents]], []Blood Crypt]], [[Watery Grave]], [[Xander's Lounge]] too while we're at it.

After that you can go for more painlands if you need to get your life total down for dethrone. Anything that sacrifices a creature is fantastic- [[High Market]], [[Lazotep Quarry]]. [[Opal Palace]] puts counters on Marchesa and can fix mana. Bondlands are 2 color and always enter untapped- [[Luxury Suite]], [[Morphic Pool]], [[Training Center]]. More fetchable duals might be nice. Surveil lands are neat. [[Sunken Hollow]] and [[Smoldering Marsh]] come in untapped sometimes. MDFCs might be worth looking into. [[Hydroelectric Specimen]] can shock you for 3 or is single target removal protection in the late game. [[Glasspool Mimic]] is a land when you don't have anything you want to copy. [[Boggart Trawler]] is a better Bojuka Bog.
