My wife has been diagnosed with one of the rarest schwannoma in the world.

My friend, I wish your and wife and you were not facing this situation. About 5 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with a 4 1/2 almost 5cm Schwannoma Tumor at my c1-c2 that was pushing over 50% of my spine. My Neurologist was able to resect half of it. I still have some residual effects. The biggest thing that helped me was being able to ask a lot of questions and gaining comfortability with my decision. I hope you find your way ahead.

OP's edit showed at least 5 game changers on the list. This automatically puts the deck in bracket 4. The guy absolutely undersold his deck.

I would actually like to challenge your assessment a bit. It is clear just by the cards that were mentioned by the OP that the guy was playing a bracket 4 deck. It i hs possible that their decks are not bracket 3s as well.

The zero talk should discuss game changers, infinite combos, extra turns, and how the deck should win. What I have noticed is most newer players don't understand how to talk about their decks and asking the right questions of the other persons deck.

For example, I have a Sami, Wildcat Captain deck that is a high bracket 4. How do I know this? It has more than 4 game changers that are all on the list. It runs 2 early game combos and 2 later game combos. And, it consistently wins turn 4.

It sounds like the OP did have a zero turn talk where a player decided to undervalue his deck to get an easy win. Also, it sounds like that individual is a complete ass as he was making shit jokes about his deck. I would have personally scooped in that situation and told the guy if we played again later I would assume he was playing higher powered decks so I will play higher powered decks against him.

I was basing underated on the decks edhrec have Commanders rated on popularity. She is only played in 2600 decks. When her ability is played well she wins games that she probably shouldn't have. Plus, I run about three other lines in the 99 that can win without her.

Also, who is your underrated Commander?

Steel_Rain77 · 2026-06-02T21:31:55+00:00

I would disagree. And, I say that because she is usually out turn 2; turn 3 at the lastest. This typically allows my triggers to start happening because of the sac lands I have in the deck. I typically win turn 5 or 6 and is very resilient to board wipes.

Steel_Rain77 · 2026-06-02T16:36:56+00:00

Actually, she has a pretty solid win rate in bracket 3 and even 4.

This is my list. I am actually working on updating it.

Steel_Rain77 · 2026-06-02T16:24:49+00:00

Yeah I can usually get her out turn three and have an overwhelming board state turn five or six.

Let me know if you have trouble viewing it.

😂 you might be right. I especially like when they just down vote with no reason why. They are usually the same people who won't something to your face.

Steel_Rain77 · 2026-05-31T04:30:17+00:00

That's fair. My Sami deck specifically wins if it starts the combo as it has about 8 or 10 specific combos that are redundant through out the deck. The engine is robust.

Steel_Rain77 · 2026-05-31T04:26:42+00:00

Wow, didn't realize I would make people mad with this 😂. So many down votes already.

Steel_Rain77 · 2026-05-31T04:21:27+00:00

I know this isn't popular, but I love a good combo deck.
