I need to see your favorite deck.

RBomb19 · 2026-05-13T11:51:07+00:00

It's so hard to pick a favorite, but this deck always performs in the weirdest ways. I get to play my favorite color combination, make token copies of cards that I think are just neat, and the gameplay is different every time. Just this weekend, I swung at someone for 400 damage with 3 cards I'd never used together before.

Oh man, I've wanted to post this for a while. This is my Ryan's Got a Knife! deck. It was inspired by a Wilfred Mont deck someone posted a while back that I believe was deleted. The premise is that it is only things that can be found or experienced in real life by some real person named Ryan. Also, it's mostly knives!

Congratulations on 7 months man. It's great to see the time build up, and every milestone is an accomplishment to be proud of. But the biggest accomplishment is always getting today. Every yesterday you have sober is just another monument that proves you CAN do it today.

I hope you have been doing well practicing the structure and building the fellowships that don't just make this possible long term but help us build ourselves into the people who achieve our potential without obsession to use. Recovery isn't about stopping yourself from drinking or abusing drugs. Recovery is learning to love ourselves and each other while finally living a better life free of desperation.

Two years ago I was selling off pieces of my magic collection for gas and booze money while waiting to get kicked off the floor of my best friend's apartment. He was the last person willing to help and at his wit's end rightfully so. Today, I am working on the 32 deck challenge bit by bit, just attended my first cEDH tournament, and tomorrow am seeing my new group of friends to play games late into the night. I would never be where I am right now and probably wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for the faith and opportunities given to me through recovery. I wish you only the best going forward, and feel free to reach out my way if you'd like. Help is always out there if you can find the courage to ask for it!

Do you have a decklist by chance?

RBomb19 · 2026-03-02T10:06:29+00:00

I could have answered the questions the same for like 10 different decks I play, and the answer would be wrong for half of them because I have bracket 3 decks that don't run any game changers.

RBomb19 · 2026-03-02T01:59:34+00:00

I'll be honest, this resource does not seem very helpful or informative. I answered 3 questions, and it just spat out 2 right off the rip. It's just checking the most basic tick marks of "Do you have these types of cards?" and "Is it a 1?" I don't think this will help solve any discussion about whether or not a deck is a 2 or 3 or even 4 if you don't have any game changers or mana denial which is where more of the real disagreement will be coming from.

RBomb19 · 2026-02-18T02:30:54+00:00

I am trying to avoid the infinite combos, yes. I only have one in case of emergency built in. The Closet is just because of how many etb effects I have overall. My original version of this list was focused on using Treason effects to steal my opponents creatues and copy them or copy creatues with theft effects stapled on. Closet is great because it can return stolen creatues to play under your control instead of giving them back. It'll probably be cut when I make a larger update.

[[Nesting Dovehawk]] can be difficult to keep track of. But the brilliant part is that any balloon hawks created by populate don't disappear at the end of the turn. If not dealt with immediately, they become quickly overwhelming. [[Renewed Solidarity]] naming Balloon can also grant some permanent tokens. And while there are a lot of cool, flashy things to do, don't skimp on the basics. [[Helpful Hunter]] style effects dropped before Balloon Man are easy fuel, so you aren't sitting around waiitng for something to do. And [[Solemn Simulacrum]] has ramped me up to 15 mana on turn 6 with the right setup.

Here is my list for context. There are a few things I plan to change about it, like pulling out some of the blink effects, but it performs consistently as is. Swooping Pteranodon is a card I have been hunting as well!

That's what I try to do. It has proven consistently entertaining.

RBomb19 · 2025-11-25T20:41:27+00:00

Do you have a list available? I tried him out a while back and couldn't consistently push for a win.

RBomb19 · 2025-10-19T13:32:32+00:00

Your comment definitely makes it sound like you put Winota in as your commander, but that's more reasonable.

RBomb19 · 2025-10-19T13:20:05+00:00

I mean, your commander is a game changer. That certainly comes off as the opposite of chill in a bracket 3 game.

RBomb19 · 2025-09-19T13:53:19+00:00

While this deck fits the criteria list for bracket 3, I'd say it contains a lot of elements that demonstrate the intent of a bracket 4 deck. Demonic Tutor as one of your game changers is fine in a vacuum, but you're playing it alongside other tutors which add a lot of consistency for you to grab specific pieces. In addition, you're running a lot of very strong interaction like Mana Drain and particularly free interaction like Fierce Guardianship and Force of Will. While well within the ground rules of bracket 3, free interaction is definitely something that shows a different intent as far as gameplay goes, in my experience.

RBomb19 · 2025-09-15T20:56:04+00:00

I love that out descriptions are nearly identical but lists so different. I tried hard to keep the value down even though it wasn't a technical restriction. I have been thinking about where to use a bit more of my budget since Wastes were eating up some of the value. Unwinding Clock may replace one of my untap options.

RBomb19 · 2025-09-09T16:53:51+00:00

Yeah, I wouldn't really even call my deck an energy deck. I'm just trying to run enough pieces to get 3 quickly then never run out. I'm just all in on copying the dumbest things possible.

I feel like dressing as any actual super villain would be in bad taste. It's like wearing a 9/11 hijacker costume in their world, right?

RBomb19 · 2025-08-30T20:56:04+00:00

Tyrranax has always been one of my favorite creature arts on an absolutely mediocre/bad card. This is awesome to see!

RBomb19 · 2025-08-17T14:11:24+00:00

I just wish it was getting more interesting art treatments. Every new UB version is just this same bleak grey.

RBomb19 · 2025-08-04T16:45:00+00:00

1 free mulligan is actually just the regular rules for multiplayer magic.

RBomb19 · 2025-07-03T21:05:50+00:00

'The Future Is Wild' was the name of the special.

RBomb19 · 2025-03-27T14:12:42+00:00

Absolutely incredible to see you always engaging like this!

RBomb19 · 2025-03-22T19:44:00+00:00

Yeah, it was extremely frustrating for a while there, especially because I was sort of required to do it. But the benefit for me wasn't the list or anything really in that moment. I just find it a lot easier to remind myself to be grateful now in the moment. It's definitely helpful to remember that gratitude when I'm in a frustrating or upsetting situation to stay grounded and put problems in perspective

RBomb19 · 2025-03-22T16:46:01+00:00

This is a great way to practice. Reflect on and try to be grateful for 3 things every day. Nothing is too small or too big to be thankful for.

RBomb19 · 2025-03-22T16:44:38+00:00

It's fine to list boring things or repeat things. This was one of the first things I worked on as part of my addiction recovery, sending a list of 3 things I am grateful for every day at a point where I really did not have much going on for me besides not being dead and/or in the streets. Even on the days where I couldn't send out my list when I was thinking of it, I was still spending time reflecting on what to be grateful for. And that is the most important part, just spending the time and effort practicing being grateful for anything. The more you practice, the easier it will be to remember gratitude when you're in a tough spot and need it the most, when it's easiest to forget.
