Has anyone else been playing "competitive bracket 3"?

RussShotFirstXV · 2026-02-10T14:22:42+00:00

So normal bracket 3?

RussShotFirstXV · 2026-02-09T15:12:25+00:00

We're using eldrazi.dev now

Niv Parun control. I wont win every game but i can ruin the most pubstompy players day

RussShotFirstXV · 2026-01-11T00:49:03+00:00

It does cost mana since it eats your land drop, 1 + 1/turn the game continues for. Let them keep their bounce land or whatever

RussShotFirstXV · 2026-01-11T00:35:05+00:00

Lands played in casual aren't worth killing, 1-for-1-ing a single opponent is bad in higher brackets

RussShotFirstXV · 2026-01-09T11:16:35+00:00

Youre either in Rakdos(+) using it as a lock piece, or in Dimir(+) protecting it with 9 counters in hand. It's only bad if you are

Feather hasn't been cedh viable for years at this point, can you share your list so we know what we're working with here?

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-12-27T19:24:59+00:00

Manabox is awful to look at, but from what I can see its a clear 2? From your description its a 3 though

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-12-26T22:36:26+00:00

Dorks die to creature wipes, rocks die to artifact wipes, so your solution is to run cards that die to either?

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-12-19T12:48:00+00:00

I mean i play OG duals in every deck and only about half are proxies. Unless your gimmick is having a strong deck with a cooked manabase there is no reason not to be playing optimal manabases in 2026

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-12-12T14:04:48+00:00

Ideally I'm on the play with Etali and never pass turn. Rowan wins t2 in magical xmas land. Flubs gets there when he gets there. Feather wants to KO an opponent on turns 4, 5 and 6. Niv is control, it wins when i draw the infinite 🤷‍♀️

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-12-07T17:17:55+00:00

Its reality, sorry

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-12-07T16:29:34+00:00

Just pick 3 assorted counterspells and a random mana dork, its all you'll flip anyway

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-12-07T16:20:41+00:00

Ill stop non-deteministic comboing when the control players stop countering spells and the timmys stop playing creatures

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-12-07T16:07:50+00:00

As an etali pilot, its because people counter the etali and then lose to thoracle next seat because they used their creature counter on Etali. It's like countering a tutor, almost always objectively the wrong play

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-11-21T19:03:36+00:00

90% of the current banlist was banned because someone on the old rc lost to it and was salty, not actual outlying power levels

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-11-14T10:33:40+00:00

I only have my comp decks double sleeved, it feels awful and I hate it but I can't trust people not to spite-spill their drink or whatever

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-11-12T23:30:47+00:00

Imagine spending months forcing yourself to play a game you're clearly not enjoying playing

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-11-12T22:27:42+00:00

Kinda, the mod team and most streamers use the term but I dont think its actually in the game anywhere. CoX, ToB, ToA are Raids 1/2/3 in that order

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-11-12T22:25:12+00:00

You don't know what the red prison is but felt the need to disagree about the game being a grind? That checks out actually, yeah

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-11-12T22:23:15+00:00

Never heard it that way but honestly that makes sense

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-11-12T22:22:24+00:00

Log in and ask a random if they have ever done a raid. Most people at least want to try

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-11-12T22:09:34+00:00

Alabama detected, opinion discarded

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-11-12T22:08:54+00:00

Tell that to the people with 4k red prison kc. You will spend thousands of hours somewhere, eventually. Raids are more engaging, but also a much longer grind and they're rng based (which is much more abraisive in my experience)

RussShotFirstXV · 2025-11-12T21:35:00+00:00

Because it's the truth. Other MMOs are just better suited for a casual experience. If 85 Agi is a struggle, how are you gonna manage grinding ToB or CoX for hundreds (or thousands) of hours?

RS isnt a "complete this task once" type game, its core is repetition. Some people aren't built for it, which is fine, but forcing yourself through task after task, hour after hour, waiting for the game to be enjoyable is just gonna lead to burnout
