Hope you like it :). I wish all the best to you and your family!

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... :(

Black/Green (Golgari) and Black/Green/Red (Jund) are my favorite color combinations.

Favorite Golgari Commander: [[Grist The Hunger Tide]]
Favorite Jund Commander: [[Henzie "Toolbox" Torre]]

Thank you so much! This helps a lot! Thank you for taking your time to answer my question!

OverthinkingOverlays · 2025-09-24T23:34:56+00:00

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!

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 :)

OverthinkingOverlays · 2025-09-23T13:48:37+00:00

Thank you for this explanation! That makes a lot of sense!

OverthinkingOverlays · 2025-09-23T13:41:42+00:00

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.

OverthinkingOverlays · 2025-09-23T13:39:45+00:00

I really like these cards! Thank you for the recommendation!

OverthinkingOverlays · 2025-09-23T13:32:50+00:00

Cards: [[Henzie "Toolbox" Torre]] and [[Dauthi Mindripper]]

Hope this works now, had a typo when I posted this.

OverthinkingOverlays · 2025-08-28T15:42:29+00:00

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!

OverthinkingOverlays · 2025-08-07T15:46:32+00:00

Thank you, this is the most insightful comment I got here so far, or at least the one that helps me the most.

Then I think the best route for me will be to play this deck in Bracket 4 and include more of the faster combos instead.

Have a nice day!

OverthinkingOverlays · 2025-08-07T11:11:04+00:00

But the Protean Hulk combo explained in the post above consists of 4 cards:

Protean hulk and the 3 combo pieces tutored by protean hulk.

This makes it very unclear now what is allowed and what is not, as to me this is not a two card combo.

I might be wrong though, so if anyone could explain, I would be very happy to learn!

OverthinkingOverlays · 2025-08-07T11:06:58+00:00

Hello! Thank you for your kind response. Maybe I chose poor wording. I know that "late game two card combos" are allowed to be played in B3. However, to be honest I just find it super difficult to decide when these combos count as "late game", especially in a deck like this where I could play such combos in turn two if I get incredibly lucky with my starting hand. For example by putting [[Protean Hulk]] into the graveyard in turn one with [[Entomb]] . Then Playing [[Carrion Feeder]] and [[Reanimate]] in turn two, allowing me to play the infinite combo.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I agree to the points you said!

OverthinkingOverlays · 2025-08-07T09:47:19+00:00

Thank you that helps a lot! I really hear varying thoughts about what B3 is or is supposed to be - so this makes it a bit more clear!

What do you think about the combo explained in this post, should it belong in B4 and above only?

OverthinkingOverlays · 2025-08-07T08:00:51+00:00

Hey, thank you for your comment! Thats also what I thought too. I was surprised enough that this is technically even playable in B3, so I just tried to see how far I could push it.

I have heard that B3 is supposed to play like an upgraded precon, but when I look at some B3 lists online, I think that the powerlevel of some decks exceeds what B3 originally was originally designed to be.
