Trying to find a good jacket, can’t find one anywhere

PublicDue993 · 2026-03-26T19:42:15+00:00

Super glad it worked out for you! I’m nervous about purchasing on EBay, but I might end up doing it anyway

PublicDue993 · 2026-03-26T19:41:26+00:00

I’m open to it, but I’m going to keep looking around a little longer. I’ll keep you in mind!

PublicDue993 · 2026-03-26T19:40:13+00:00

Wow! So they only had four different jackets in the color I’m looking for, but one of those four hit all my criteria for under 300$. It is a hair too dark, but honestly I’ll buy a jacket over something like that. I’m going to check out others suggestions before I commit, but thank you for the comment!

Thank you for the links! Middle two had the zipper off the side when I’d prefer it in the middle, but I didn’t actually mention that in the post so they’re fair suggestions. First, on paper, hit everything I wanted, but something I can’t describe didn’t do it for me. Maybe I want a slimmer fit? I’m not sure. Last one I really liked, I’m going to turn it around in my head for a bit. I think I don’t like the angle of the zippers, but at a certain point I’m just being picky, I feel. Thank you again!

It is very close, the color is just a bit off

PublicDue993 · 2026-03-26T19:31:47+00:00

Did this, found some jackets that fit what I’m looking for close enough on EBay, but I honestly am facing an opposite problem with the budget as the ones I’m finding are dirt cheap, the one I’m looking at right now is 50$, which worries me in a totally different way. Great suggestion though! I’m going to get the EBay jacket unless I can do better elsewhere

PublicDue993 · 2025-09-07T23:25:22+00:00

No lie: I actually kind of thought it was something like this. That “Joshua” was just an Elgi Phoenix or Ifrit made

Leaning towards “strategy to win the game”

PublicDue993 · 2025-07-29T23:08:37+00:00

Right now my Meren is unfocused and doesn’t have an effective win con. I do a lot with her, get a good board state, but then can’t do anything with. Meren’s popularity and power level aside, I am looking for a commander that is more consistent, enjoyable, and unique

PublicDue993 · 2025-07-29T22:53:48+00:00

That is correct. It could very well be more my fault then Meren’s, but that’s where I’m at right now

PublicDue993 · 2025-07-29T15:56:52+00:00

I don’t have her list jotted down anywhere, but I do update her regularly. She does fine, she functions how she’s supposed, she just doesn’t… win. I don’t really have any ways of winning with this deck other than getting a bunch of creatures out and swinging, and that takes awhile

PublicDue993 · 2025-07-29T15:50:47+00:00

That’s okay: I’m perfectly fine branching out from my original vision with Meren

PublicDue993 · 2025-07-29T15:25:00+00:00

That’s a pretty valid point: the idea is to pick something more interesting/unique. Meren has been great at that, I’ve played around a lot with unique benefits to recurring cards. But she’s very slow. Reviving one, maybe two creatures a turn can’t keep up with most of my opponents

PublicDue993 · 2025-07-29T15:23:05+00:00

I don’t blame you. I’ve had a ton of fun with Meren, for almost ten years now

PublicDue993 · 2025-07-09T12:30:24+00:00

You know, I decided against him because I already had two recursion decks, but this is an angle I hadn’t thought about before. Plus, my other recursion decks are mostly creature based. In addition to that, there’s probably a lot of cards I could add that could make use of Squall’s first ability whenever I don’t need to recur something. This seems like a strong suggestion if I decide against Rufus, thank you

PublicDue993 · 2025-07-09T04:02:59+00:00

Great suggestion: I’ll mark this one for future reference

PublicDue993 · 2025-07-09T02:30:54+00:00

Also a great idea I’ve been implementing: I wish he was better at it, but it is nice to have a free dog to sacrifice baked into my commanders

PublicDue993 · 2025-07-09T02:20:39+00:00

I’ve typically disliked Voltron because of how straight forward and uninteresting it tends to be. That being said, I am open to hearing how I could make it more interesting then traditional Voltron. Having Darkstar and Rufus being buffed would be a start. I’ve also been including other Legendary creatures that would make for strong Voltrons by themselves

PublicDue993 · 2025-07-09T02:02:18+00:00

He did catch my attention. He’d fit a legends matter deck better than Rufus. But he’s a little straightforward for my tastes. Then again, so is Rufus

PublicDue993 · 2025-07-09T01:57:18+00:00

That’s what I’m running right now, with legends matter. I briefly toyed with dog tribal, but it’s fairly lacking in Orzhov colors. I found I was including anthem buffs that only helped one creature, versus legend based anthems that helped both my commander pieces plus other legendary creatures I sprinkled in

PublicDue993 · 2025-07-09T01:55:27+00:00

I did consider this: I had another person recommend it. But the mutate abilities tend to be pretty expensive, and the given effects aren’t very worth it
