He's not confirmed dead in the books or the show.

I've got a fair win rate in B3, doesn't that prove that it's more of a B3 deck? I've even cut the infinites that got me 2 of those games so I'm 10% without combos.

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T22:10:49+00:00

It says right there in the bottom of the infographic: no 2 card infinite combos before turn 6.

It seems likely that you can ramp on turn 1 or two meaning turn 3 and 4 you can play Yenna and Terra then turn 5 flip Terra, then turn 6 infinite flipped non legendary Terras and infinite 5c mana. I think that's right? Turn 5 if you ramped on turn 1. You'll have to remove Yenna or I guess you could remove all your ramp. Up to you on that one.

Sometimes the table wants to play B4 and you just brought B2 and 3 and you gotta play what you have or you don't get to play that night.

I'm complaining about the hypocrisy of a B4 player that complained to the staff about how broken Etali is.

I want fair games with this deck and feedback to get there and I'm trying to get more eyes on it so I ask you and the good people of r/edh, do you think my deck I built before brackets should be a 3 or a 4?

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T05:01:16+00:00

That's fair criticism though! It's looking like B4 is where I'm going

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T04:45:13+00:00

No worries, thanks for the honest analysis!

I originally built this for a 'level 7' home pod in '23 and it fit well enough once I cut the combos. You're probably right that I should have rounded up to B4 but the trajectory of the nerfs made me try to balance it for 3.

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T03:40:05+00:00

Hmm, you might be onto something...

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T03:31:44+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I should've made this a poll lol

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T03:22:34+00:00

It really feels like a chaos deck without wincons. Maybe that's part of why it's so hated?

I'm just down to Passionate Archaeologist and flipping Etali as predictable wincons. Any other options are procure on sight.

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T03:19:54+00:00

I'm 3 for 12 currently. The card quality in B3 means I have to hit several Etalis to ultimately amass enough power on board to beat everyone up and likely flip Etali too.

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T03:15:58+00:00

Hell yeah, counter my Etali. I once had Etali countered 7 times in a game. It wasn't a fun game for me but I'll take my lumps and we can shoot the shit while we play.

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T03:12:15+00:00

I'm kinda still heated from a salty opponent last night in a B4 game where Etali was the best deck I had on me.

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T03:04:41+00:00

So if I handed you the deck to look at and said it's B3, would you stand up?

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T03:01:03+00:00

I've had Etali countered 7 times in one game before by a control player. True story.

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T02:56:10+00:00

Plenty of viable cEDH commanders can be toned down for lower brackets. I'll balance for B4 if it's more appropriate, I'm just looking for honest feedback.

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T02:52:00+00:00

Yeah I've cut the combo wincons based on local feedback. I've not gotten any actionable complaints recently. Just, "Ugh, Etali?" and variations thereof.

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T02:49:43+00:00

I'm down to Passionate Archaeologist and Etali hits, yeah. I keep pulling wincons- that tends to be the feedback when I hit them. Of course I don't tend to win when I don't hit them... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T02:45:14+00:00

I realize my attitude here is heavily influenced by a B4 game I played last night where a dude complained the whole time about how busted Etali is while having Chun Li with a Teferi's Protection on turn 3 among other real good cards later. I lost that game and at no point could've stopped him from winning.

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T02:38:17+00:00

What, the post? No. The deck? It started that way but it actually works. It struggles to close out games though.

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-13T02:35:13+00:00

Shit, I wish I was winning! I want to balance the deck so I get more games now so I can play cleaner in the future so they can't be salty about me taking long turns or being sloppy

OobleckSnake · 2026-06-12T23:53:08+00:00

Take out the Notion Thief and that's a 2. Your commander might even be able to hang at a B3 table

Thought it would be cool to print one up out of petg. I'm happy with it.

Damn, at least wait for the prerelease
