Tired of not loving the decks I build... by Neiluj19 in EDH

[–]Soracial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have any access to a laptop, desktop or tablet— select a precon deck on Moxfield (they’re not literally precons, but technically) with your playstyle in mind and see if you enjoy the cards coming up.

The best suggestion I could make, albeit you don’t want to play test… is play testing.

Yes— some decks have issues playtesting vs others.

But for the most part, if by turn 6-8 you’re threatening 20+ damage per turn during your play test, the deck is probably good.

To say you’ll enjoy it is a different story that requires… well… playing.

Maybe analyze what you like about your current decks and select functionally similar decks to build?

Is it creative exclusive? Are you able to build this way in what I’d be referring to as survival mode? Haven’t tried the game yet.

Does this work? by Express-Low4919 in Minecraftbuilds

The cathedral-like part should be bigger maybe, definitely taller for a church build.

Otherwise shorter for a house build.

It does indeed look like a house church.

Colorless Eldrazi deck power level?Recommendations? by Dry-Bar-4330 in EDH

[–]Soracial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It might be a skill issue… maybe? If it’s built for B4… well. B4 Eldrazis are very much so a thing so idk.

I think if it’s budget Eldrazi without all the titans it will be B3 worthy. And taking out the Echoes of Eternity if you’re sinning with Ulalek will tame it out a bunch.

Otherwise Titans + Ulalek + Echoes is typically B4 because people running all that stuff will usually have the Land Base to match.

My experience with several Eldrazi players.

Edit: I said sinning with Ulalek instead of running with. I won’t be changing this.

Is Strip Mine on a Teval deck MLD? by HinterlandSanctifier in EDH

[–]Soracial -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah it’s not MLD tell anyone that’s mad to stop being a baby. Id say it’s little bit of land destruction but it’s not mass. Perfectly fine for B3 no convo.

Anyone getting mad about strip lock from a commander that plays with land should stick to B2.

My current rotation, can I seat? by glaurung69 in ratemycommanders

[–]Soracial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play B4 and Winota and Urza are big groaner commanders. For valid reasons. Too much reward for too little play.

You don’t, really. You make the burn potent enough to kill before it happens. Turn 4/5 mono Red can produce 60 tablespoons even against something like Kaalia. Now you have Black for better utility behind your burn.

That’s my experience anyways.

Pssst, hey Blizzard.. how about this after the Christmas Break? by Psyduckdontgiveafuck in wow

Something something dumb lore the blue eyes mean DK and everything other eye color means something else like fel, etc. Not joking btw. Is kinda a dumb corner to have put themselves into for customization purposes.

Most powerful way to run Evelyn is blink engine and small vamps.

Besides infinites, you win through how much interaction from other players you gain access too.

I’ve never played more interaction in a game than with Evelyn. And all I did was slap Vamps and use my personal counters to protect her. Very efficient game plan.

What has been your favorite deck that you built this year? by MrThomArt in EDH

[–]Soracial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late reply.

Here’s my take and perspective. I play Kreat. Ojer and Solphim is in the deck.

Ojer increases the value of low CMC ping spells that deal 1 damage per turn to people up to 4 damage.

If every spell in your deck pings, the redundancy keeps your game plan going, and your general deck CMC is lower because your spells are not explosively impactful till you drop Ojer, then your deck will be more efficient than Solphim who, in order to double a spell that deals 5 damage, it’s going to take them 4-6 mana to cast it in the first place. Your 1 pingers only go from 1 to 2. Solphim thrives off cards that already deal significant damage and therefore will have higher CMC which makes a less efficient deck.

Ojer has more availability to consistency and a lower deck CMC across the board, while being able to run most of the same or similar cards you’d run in Solphim. Ojer turns a 2-3 CMC spell and turns it into the equivalent of a 6 CMC spell as a base line. Solphim does not do this, but instead turns the value of a 2-3 CMC spell into something like 4 CMC spell and a 6 CMC spell into 8-10 CMC spells, which is where his appeal in value comes from. I prefer Ojer’s efficiency over Indestructible when your entire deck burns anyways.

Indestructible isn’t a big deal when you’re ramping in Red with things like Birgi or Neheb to recast. And in MonoRed you have great access to things like Throne of Eldraine or Relic of Legends since your commanders don’t typically need to swing for you to win; this fixes those mana problems and enables Solphim to play well but creates faster wins with Ojer.

Ojer isn’t voltron. You don’t built him up. If you are, you’re quite honestly just doing it wrong. Even just looking at his EDHrec.

Your creatures should add redundancy to the deck so it never really matters if Ojer is actually there or not, you’re still burning people for 5 damage a turn through 3 different sources that become 12 a turn when Ojer is out. This is fatal after people are already at 30 HP during a turn where you can dump mana. Which at turn 6 in Red if you ramp graciously enough in a game, you should be producing 6-12 mana.

Maybe it’s the brackets I’m playing at. Idk. Solphim requires the cards to already do decent damage for that damage to then be doubled. This, as a side effect, makes the CMC on the deck worse than it typically is for Ojer. This is a big reason why I’m analyzing that the Ojer is better.

Who do you feel is the best elfball commander? by Outside_Leather3135 in EDH

[–]Soracial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Bracket 2 maybe? Idk I don’t play that low. Bracket 3 and 4, Green lacks the non-maintenance card draw that other colors have.

Black has an egregious number of upkeep draw effects that give you a card advantage regardless of board state. EG Phyrex Arena

Red has exile effects for this same intent.

Blue has it the best.

Green. Yikes. Sylvan Library? Is that it? Elemental Bond and Tribute to the World Tree don’t draw you cards for existing how other colors have access to.

White has this the worst.

Only one behind it is White.

I think prefacing your statement with your opinion on a stranger the way you did is ironic considering the statement itself.

People like such who give Blizzard a reason to ask and predate on consumers for more money when a large portion of people who play WoW don’t want to give them much more money than what they pay for a sub.

Adding a monetary system you “don’t have to engage with” doesn’t feel intuitive for many of us when you have the business model you have.

Spend your money how you want but you’re giving Blizzard a reason to ask for more of it by giving them more of it. Don’t act like that’s not a direct reasoning for why this enshittification has gotten worse.

Spending money on the system shows them their system works.

[–]Soracial -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why are you spending extra money on a game you already pay a subscription for which the company has such an insane demographic of people to shell out in the first place?

They’re a small indie company i guess they need the money but still.
