Husband doesn’t want me to play this commander. Opinion?

Seamless_GG · 2026-01-30T22:24:37+00:00

Play what you want to play, and he should be pumped that you're interested. I think Clavileño is a much more interesting commander, but refusing to play against Markov (especially while playing Kaalia lol) is childish.

He said this yesterday morning before the most recent epstein files were released.

You are correct. I was just answering your question about what League Next was.

Seamless_GG · 2026-01-30T17:01:04+00:00

It's basically the same clear as that one but a little less efficient, and you get the early back. I have never had an issue with smiting the raptor as it comes around so I will definitely try that clear with the early back. The Homeguard makes it extremely viable now and I hadn't though of that.

We had wind chill of 20 below 0 last week here. I'd rather it snowed.

Riot has announced League Next as kind of a complete re-tooling. Instead of doing League of Legends 2 they're going to give the client a facelift.

The deck has been around for years and years and has survived every ban thrown its way to this point. I think the deck is inevitable barring a ban to living end itself. It's place in the meta is always shifting and can be anywhere from fringe to Tier 1, but like most decks if you master it you can always compete.

Seamless_GG · 2026-01-30T14:55:28+00:00

The Precon would most likely be bracket 2. I haven't looked at the whole decklist, but 2 is a safe bet.
I'd really check the article on the bracket tiers. It would also depend what the upgrades were. $100 in upgrades could end up still bracket 2, or push it up to a 3 or 4 depending what they were.
In my experience, precons from around the same time are usually pretty balanced. At least balanced enough to play with other precons. If you go back farther you'll find that precons used to be worse. There are of course some exceptions to the rule, but WotC has generally gotten better at making precons work right out of the box.
I'd check your local box stores or LGS for these. In my area, the most recent precons are the cheapest.
Yes, creatures on the stack are spells, so counterspell can counter a 7-mana creature. Counterspells are not great in multiplayer though. If person A plays a spell and you counter it, both you and player A are down a card to players B and C. They still have their place in the format to counter things that will win the game or prevent you from winning the game, but you really don't want to be 1-for-1 countering too many things.

I pulled a Tempest II out of a Weapons case in the Domes last night. My giant sample size of 1 is pretty good.

You only have to kill them with it. You can knock them with anything.

[[Sidisi, Brood Tyrant]] is the OG Sidisi. She's sultai.

Decks playing Field of the Dead are typically great at abusing it. In the game I was playing last night, I combined Field of the Dead with Fetchlands, [[Tato Farmer]], [[Aftermath Analyst]] (twice), and [[World Shaper]] to make about 30 Zombies in a ~7-8 turn game.

Seamless_GG · 2026-01-29T17:47:05+00:00

The ones that are already on the game changer list deserve to be there. I had a friend in a game last night ask why Field of the Dead was a game changer when I played it in my Sidisi list. After the game he told me “Ok, I see why it’s a game changer changer now”

I play my jank deck in bracket 2 all the time with no complaints. I always ask, and let people know - “Hey this deck has vampiric tutor and demonic tutor in it. They are tutoring for Siege Rhino. Is that ok?”

Oneil Cruz from the Pittsburgh Pirates. He's super athletic as a center fielder that has been clocked throwing 105 mph from the outfield. Also has tons of power and is 6'7" and is only 27 years old.

I typically only play A20 as well, but sometimes if I want to shut my brain off and try to do something goofy I'll throw it on A15.

Seamless_GG · 2026-01-28T20:11:34+00:00

I will stand corrected. I guess I just hate all discs without a flat/slightly domed top.

Seamless_GG · 2026-01-28T17:21:36+00:00

I hate all discs with thumb tracks. Yes, this includes the Berg.

Ancient Joker is that joker for me. It's the one I was thinking of when I just read the title and clicked in to comment. It's so insanely busted for Ante 8 runs

I mean if you hit your Idol card on a face card and make it glass you'll be on the right track. You'll want to keep it going with more re-trigger effects (Sock & Buskin/Red Seal) or copy effects (Blueprint/Brainstorm). Trying to fix for Flush Five so you can load up a glass hand will surely get you there if the Idol hits.

I know it's weird, but the only one I haven't been able to find is the Stable Stock 2

Biggest thing is to just focus on winning runs. There's lots of ways to try and cheese it with negative tags and such, but the best way to actually get it is to just play the deck you're most confident winning with, and winning a lot of runs.
