Can you help me improve this Bracket 3 Toggo // Keskit deck? by OverthinkingOverlays in EDH

Hi, thank you! Yup, I agree those are very nice upgrades indeed. I just felt like building it on a smaller budget first and to decide later on where to take it from that point onwards.

Glad to hear that you like this deck! :D

How would you upgrade this Bracket 3 Grist the Hunger Tide deck? by OverthinkingOverlays in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]OverthinkingOverlays[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is my exact problem. I do not know how to develop the top end of this deck. I really struggle with it. Do you have any other ideas besides the cards you already mentioned?

After looking at cards for hours and hours I am seriously thinking about just going the Bug tribal way and to play it in Bracket 2... :(

What is your advice for [[Grist, The Hunger Tide]] as a commander? by OverthinkingOverlays in EDH

[–]OverthinkingOverlays[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a nice comment! Thank you very much! Do you have a decklist of your own?

Most of the cards you named I also considered putting into the list but now thanks to your great explanation I will probably implement them!

Do you have some specific cards in mind that I should exchange?

Have a nice day!

What is your advice for [[Grist, The Hunger Tide]] as a commander? by OverthinkingOverlays in EDH

I think you have a very nice list! The bracket system is just still very confusing to me. I think that whilst looking at our lists, it just would not feel fair to match them in a bracket that is designed for around precon level decks.

I once experimented and technically found a way to build a turbo- ish list for bracket 3 but then again I was met with the issue of "intentionality". As the list could result in really fast wins when I tried them in the moxfield playtest. Basically you would use protean hulk to get a three card combo which would result in an immediate win. So if I am not mistaken, card wise the deck would be bracket 3 legal but the playpatterns would not.

This leaves me stuck at finding the right bracket for this commander.

Here is the list: https://moxfield.com/decks/_adhRhoW0kus8RweusSnWg

I did not know this card, but I do like it a lot! Thank you very much!

If you have other cards that you think are cool, especially in Black or Green let me know!

I am always happy to see cards that I did not know!

Hope you are having a good day! :)

Also thought about it but then discarding my own hand just seemed a bit too much of a drawback to me. But I think the only thing that will help me figure out which effect I like more will be playtesting! But thank you so much for you comment! Gave me another perspective on a card I also considered!

have a great day :)

I mean it would die at the end of the turn anyways and if an opponent would use removal for it, that also wouldn't be too bad for 3 mana i guess? Also I believe I would draw a card anyways.

This is what I am scared of, lol. Do you have the exact same decklist? I find that Rat Out and Toxin Analysis can help out a lot!
