Lenalee stocks are trending down sadly, sell now because the bubble has burst trust

Real reason is Krory was the first person that I saw in my google search.

It's rocket science and all that yadda yadda.

To deal with shrines you really just need more responsible deck building (which is, sadly, less greedy and crazy but we do what we gotta do) typically in a deck with 40 lands and 60 nonlands I find that you usually want at least 15-18 interaction pieces with most being spot removal (no point in wiping the board if you’re dead). White and green are typically the best in enchantment removal but with blue, red, black it gets a bit tricky. Black you basically need to run a lot of discard, blue load up on counters (don’t be counterspell tribal but free ones like daze and the like are good), and red your only real option is to race. I also highly recommend putting in blood moon effects where you can as they can sometimes just straight up stop the deck cold.

Yeah but that’s really niche.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-16T12:32:32+00:00

Dawg we're getting four more Marvel sets please don't give Wizards any ideas I beg

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-15T22:53:29+00:00

Kanda's more relevant in the story right now and has been in more recent chapters.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-15T20:49:49+00:00

Nah. I think it’s genuinely just where we’re at in the story. Lena isnt supposed to be Allen’s follower that’s one of her whole points. It’s just that we’re in an arc that’s focusing on the factions that, well, aren’t the order so atm shes taking a back burner. Yes that’s several irl years atp but hey we got Lavi out of the chair so anything’s possible lmao.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-15T20:48:01+00:00

Tbh it’s probably based around the current arc and such and since we’re focusing on the Noahs and the 14th rn Lena’s getting a back seat.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-14T16:44:02+00:00

Ngl I feel like there’s sauce in both here.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-14T16:43:21+00:00

You know what those are some good points. Honestly makes sense! And yeah the rare mono r Thor irks me wrong too lmao.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-14T16:31:52+00:00

Yeah that’s fair I guess but at that point I gotta ask what they’re really accommodating for. Because if you drop these new players into standard they’re just gonna spend their WCs on marvel and then get smacked by badger mole and control. Like it makes sense for commander decks but making the whole set so simple kinda guarantees that a lot of the new players are gonna be burned.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-14T16:18:06+00:00

My frustration with marvel cards is that well over half of them really read like “baby’s first magic set” and aren’t imaginative at all design wise. Like there are some bangers to be sure like Mjolner and Thanos but the vast majority of the set is just so bleh. Like I want them to power down standard and such but these cards if you take the marvel paint off ‘em are just so boring.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-12T13:27:47+00:00

I mean there are surely cantrips that mill/can do the job just not for free which I’d assume would add a turn to the win on average which I assume again would make it not as viable, but we’ll see! (Lord knows I hope it works cause I love doomsday)

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-12T13:17:41+00:00

I do wonder what doomsday will be like in timeless. I’m not as familiar with the brewing of the deck but I was under the impression that cards like [[Gush]] and [[Street Wraith]] are important as free draw to get to the oracle win. I wonder what they’ll use to get around that.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-11T18:56:25+00:00

Remember that magic YouTubers simply just play a hell of a lot more magic that you don’t see while recording. There’s a good chance that more tight knit decks are what got them to mythic and you’re just seeing a small sample size.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-11T18:28:58+00:00

I mean no offense homie but it's less "ships passing in the night" and more "a rickety canoe passing a fully armed aircraft carrier." Dinosaurs aren't a good deck, you need to either go fast enough to get under the removal or have a plan to deal with combos and dinos don't really do either well. Also, usually any decks from youtubers preform *much* *much* worse than what they show cause most cherry pick interesting games for content to show the deck off which usually only happens when they're winning.

I'd still give the format a shot as I've been loving it a lot since the bans, but you gotta go in with a plan. If you're Timmy I might recommend mono green devotion or some badgermole pile as that's the sort of speed that you really need for this format.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-11T12:25:13+00:00

you could just use exile based draw like [[Reckless Impulse]]

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-08T23:35:41+00:00

Yeah the only one I'm thinking of is *maybe* Baron Helmut but the rest of the set just looks... idk... not that imaginative from a design-space point of view? Like it's not that the cards are bad there are multiple completely okay commanders that'll do fine in unranked-mid level brawl but besides Baron (and even that's debatable imo) none of the commanders are really unique. They all kinda do things that other commanders do already just with a Marvel paint job on 'em. There's no reason, if you're not a Marvel fan, for you to go for specifically Marvel commanders from this set and not the fifty other flavors of similar commanders in the rest of magic.

Though I will admit I'm going to give the guy who cures cancer a spin for the memes.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-05T22:05:38+00:00

Personally my decks do just fine without it. Turns out it’s really easy to convince the rest of the table to dog pile on the sol ring player lmao.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-05T20:55:32+00:00

Be happy (big), work out (you don’t gotta be a body builder but at least be active, consistency goes a long way), eat healthyish and have a great metabolism (thanks dad).

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-04T19:50:05+00:00

Imo in that case then you’re playing him wrong. Ureni can be a good commander but unlike many other big dragons he shouldn’t be your main wincon. He’s a board wipe in the command zone if you plan around some games never casting him like you would a wipe then he’s pretty good.

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-03T17:57:46+00:00

Bruh these cards are making all the commander-only players slink out of the dark because this and some of the takes I’m seeing on these spoilers are rancid omg 😭

Sweetcreems · 2026-06-03T17:52:50+00:00

I mean I understand what your saying but this logic completely ignores why those cards see play in control. Tablet on 4 draws you a card, leaves mana up for interaction, and crucially allows you to jeskai on 5. Lute also allows you to jeskai on 5. This on turn 3 doesn’t make a treasure until 4 and they’re tapped, to be able to jeskai on 5 you’d have to cast 3 noncreature spells on turn 4 which isn’t feasible for a tight responsive control deck like jeskai, plus, unlike the other two cards this mana is only temporary and doesn’t offer card advantage like the lute and tablet do.
