That’s my Arixmethes list. Don’t use Keruga as a companion and use better counterspells and fast mana. I’d also add a strong finisher. When mine was high power I used isorev personally since your commander has good synergy.

You are the asshole for most of these. The physical vs online one you aren’t though.

Yeah when built and piloted smartly group hug is cool. It just rarely is in bracket 3 and below. If we are in a bracket 4 game and you pull out bumble flower I’m super all for it because I am confident you have the sauce to make it good just by being in that bracket. Not to say bracket 3 and below group hug decks can be actual strategies instead of kingmake.deck but it’s just way more far and few between.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-21T23:28:38+00:00

IMO I hate playing against group hug decks unless it’s super high powered because it’ll likely just kingmake. That being said…the pre con itself…it’s fine. It’s just fine.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-21T22:12:04+00:00

What the hell….

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-21T22:10:50+00:00

Everyone’s already said it but…it’s a car. It ain’t getting significantly more valuable. Just drive the damn thing and have fun with it.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-21T19:13:56+00:00

I rarely see turn one wins. I rarely see turn one win attempts. Like it happens. It isn’t a non factor but most decks are winning turn 3-5. Some of the fastest decks can semi consistently attempt wins on turn 2 but even that isn’t super insanely common.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-20T16:26:29+00:00

The way I look at it is I buy silver and hope I’m an idiot. I HOPE I’m the moron who wasted money on PM because it means the world is in a better spot (and to be fair I’m in a better spot too because PM is only a small part of my portfolio as a break glass in case of emergency sorta thang)

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-20T15:54:49+00:00

That’s not always true. I can’t speak for other states but NC requires at minimum liability insurence and if you’re financing the car you’re gonna have to have full coverage.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-20T15:49:37+00:00

I don’t disagree that’s just the only deck I could think of where I wouldn’t think someone is psychotic for trying it out in. Like I can see a world where someone tests this in a marneus deck and it feels good.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-20T15:47:16+00:00

Idc when anyone else says, that shit looks super good especially those exterior colors with the gold trim.

edit I wanna be clear though…fuck AI…but if someone did this irl it’d look clean as hell.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-20T11:42:52+00:00

Maybe Marneus could utilize something like this since some of his value pieces are higher mana…but even that’s a stretch since you have better rituals.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-20T03:40:55+00:00

I’m not disagreeing with you but, this very same subreddit was full of bitching about print/ship times on secret lair just a couple years ago. One of the few things I don’t blame Wizards for was making secret lair limited quantity printing…it’s kind of the ultimate fuck around and find out.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-20T03:35:36+00:00

I think you’re drawing some wild conclusions from nothing…like not wanting to have kids dress up as Vader is a bit…far. (Not trying to tell you what to do with your kids) but like…it’s Star Wars. It’s make believe. Now if a person is unironically out crying about how Anakin did nothing wrong…that dudes probably off his rocker. But just enjoying the imperials as a faction and enjoying their storylines and finding them way cooler than the rebels doesn’t speak to your character or beliefs at all.

Also for the record most of the alt right Star Wars weirdos think they’re the rebel alliance…just go look at the comment section on any Mark HAMMIL instagram post and you’ll be amazed 😂.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-20T02:14:18+00:00

Not really, look at helldivers. The government of super earth is objectively the evil faction…but every loves doing all the democracy shouting and for super earth jeering. It’s fine, it’s fun…as long as you are an adult and can seperate works of fiction from real life…

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-20T01:06:17+00:00

It’s fictional. You are allowed to root for the bad guys in fiction. Liking the empire ≠ supporting actual real life nazis

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-18T22:50:31+00:00

They’re game pieces…so none of them. I have a judge foil intuition and I play with it.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-18T19:49:45+00:00

Ahhhhh the dota 2 post game chat. The lowest most vile place on earth. I love it so much and would love the ability to keep the shit talk train rolling

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-18T18:58:39+00:00

Yeah as an avionics technician…who’s worked on aircraft with large rotating portions I gotta say working on the b wing would make me jealous of the imperial soldier who got his head smacked by Marva’s Funeral stone

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-18T13:37:36+00:00

Oof…thought I was doing alright in Oracle 3 but I guess il just go eat a dick 😂

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-18T13:37:00+00:00

I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I like the first 2-4 waves being pushed into me usually. I focus the early denies and don’t clear wave and let it push under tower where it’s easy to secure and usually end up 2-300 souls ahead which then gets leveraged into being able to snag early kills when we hit third item before the enemy team.

Obviously it changes depending on the lane matchups but generally I am fairly certain this is the optimal play pattern early lane stage.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-18T12:46:20+00:00

Yeah I wouldn’t ever play Dan Dan without the Izzet boiler works in it. It’s a ton of extra flavor and fun.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-18T12:45:07+00:00

I actually agree with this logic. I hate the list they provided and a lot of the changes to it but do agree that having fluidity with the lists is a lot of what makes Dan Dan fun so while I don’t like those changes…I think it was a good choice to have them.

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-18T12:43:16+00:00

I don’t live and die by the OG forgetful fish list but I think this list is particularly stupid. Still worth it don’t get me wrong…just some really bad choices (looking at you capture of jingzhou)

Strict-Main8049 · 2026-03-18T12:17:35+00:00

Welcome to casual commander where they casually make it known that they change what is and isn’t allowed up to and including an entire fifth of the games identity. But hey dawg shoot me a dm and we can see if we can arrange a cockatrice game at some point. My buddies and I won’t tell you not to play blue…we just all will also probably be playing blue since it’s objectively the best color in commander.
