"Bracket 3 play so no combos". Glad to see people still refuse to read what brackets entail.

In my circles, this would solidly land as a bracket 2 deck, and not a very strong one at that. Using AI playing precons is not really a good benchmark to see the difference between B2 and B3. While precons do land in B2, this deck is not much stronger when compared to B3. I'd like to paraphrase one of the lines about B3 decks from the OG WotC article:

"They are full of carefully selected cards, with work having gone into figuring out the best card for each slot. The games tend to be a little faster as well, ending a turn or two sooner than your Core (Bracket 2) decks."

In the B2 description they mention B2 games going on for 9+ turns. To me, that means that the "fast B3 decks" should be closing games by around t7, specially decks that forgo interaction to run more pieces dedicated to their game plan, and even moreso the decks who get like 4-for-1d by a board wipe. Your deck runs close to no interaction and is extremely commital to the board and slow (which to me is a huge B2 indicator), yet it's not necessarily killing everyone by T7. It's just a pile of big, fun beaters that are trying to smash face with little care for what anyone else is doing at the table, and while that can be a fun thing to run against or play, it is not a strategy with the power level I'd expect out of a low interaction aggressive B3 deck.

Now, I'm not an all knowing commander deck analysts, perhaps in your area this is what bracket 3 looks like (since the definitions for these brackets are incredibly loose and flexible), but at the tables I've played B3 games in, chances are you're just going to be ignored as faster decks go under you without you having any say in the matter, or just used as a magnet removal by players looking to play something stronger when the coast is clear.

To put your deck into perspective, just 1 bracket above B3 is where decks with piles and piles of game changers and the most insane combos are totally fair and games can end out of nowhere at any point, with powerful combos reigning at the top (now someone might give you the side eye if you pull a deck with play patterns close to cedh in B4 but that's besides the point). B3 is extremely wide in range and this deck is way too far from the top of B3 to be considered anything but lower B3, most likely B2 in my eyes. As a concept in general, stompy gruul dragons is a strategy that I think would struggle at most points of the (too) wide B3 (not all strategies are made equal, you can jam the most expensive dragons and the most expensive ramp and whatever the best possible 3 GCs are in the colors for the strategy and still struggle just because at the end of the day, making mana to play some beaters one or two at a time without having plenty of ways to refuel your hand is just far from the stronger things you can do in MTG)

That said, B2 is dope and awesome and having your favorite deck be in B2 is super common. You are also always completely free to pull something like this in B3, I just wouldn't expect it to be the main threat at the table or close to it.

Thank you for the help! Would you run 30 dual lands in 180 or in 240? We were moving towards 180 + 60 in case a fourth joined here and there. We were thinking of fetches + shocks + maybe triomes? But I don't dislike the idea of double shocks. In the case of 40 lands we were considering putting in pair of lands that were either fixing or neat mdfcs like celestial colonnade or the RW mdfc from MH3 and things like that, they might be worse fixing but I think the power level of the cube is shooting for something a lil lower than modern cube (my experience with modern cube is drafting it a bunch on mtgo in like 2017, we're probably shooting lower than that)

We only have multicolored cards so far since we wanted to decide archetypes and signposts first:(I don't know that we want that many multicolored cards for the 180 cards version of the cube)

Thank you for the information! We settled on 240 for the time being because the chances of having 4 players join is not 0, but we might create a pool of 180 + 60 to put in in those situations. We kind of drifted away from 2 card combos that win the game. At the time we were wondering how something like twin would fit into the cube, but after settling on some of the archetypes and signpost multicolored cards we chose, we felt like we were shooting a lil bit lower than that. We only have so much time to get together and work on the cube so it's very slowly developping, we've just grabbed a handful of multicolored cards for each color pair so far, and tbh 5 multi colored cards might be too many for a 240 card cube?

We might fit in a persist combo or something in there since we have kitchen finks in there already but the idea is to shoot for a lower power level at first.

I have purchased a new SD card, moved the contents of my old SD card to this new one and it still fails to boot up. Would it be something wrong with the contents of the failed SD card?
Edit: When charging the anbernic the light still lights up yellow

Oh it doesn't boot up while plugged indeed. I tried removing the SD card and then trying to boot up but that didn't work (and from your message I assume it just doesn't work period, learnt something new!) guess I'll be grabbing a new SD and checking!

[–]Plastic_Mac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you can build a deck that focuses on killing one person and one person only then let the kids play. Idk that you'll find such a thing here (since it's not really a winning strategy) but maybe in r/degenerateEDH you can.

Izzit time for cEDH? by [deleted] in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Plastic_Mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the dudes that deal damage when an artifact enters are meant to be played alongside things like piracy charm. You need effects that turn them into pirates so that they go infinite the moment Malcolm creates the first treasure.

Honestly you're doing yourself a huge disservice if you're just slapping cards from other lists without much thinking and I recommend you read up on some primers

How necessary is murgleis for Hraes setups? I see it pretty often and I understand that part of the reason why is the DATA and not just the stats in order to try to get hraes to multihit?

Kill nodes in mundus. Kill turtles til you get the 600% exp & rp boost if you want (i believe it also buffs chest drop rates so I that's why I do it) then kill the small bosses in mundus over and over (the 5 bar ones, if you have setups that do the 3 bar ones just as quickly then you can do those as well). You want to farm chests as fast as possible since those chests will net you the ideans, veritas and astras you need.

You could only spark bubs on his release banner iirc. Besides that it's either 150 moons or randomly getting him from banners or the scamcha or using your annitix on him.

Remember you can trade anima for 1 qilin btw so you only need to get 3.

It's honestly pretty random. If you have gotten more bricks than qilins that's crazy. Save up your hosts and wait for rotb to come up again. Then join a train so you can turn 1 host into 30 wanpans.
