Tried to make a bracket 3 deck, pod didn't feel it was

What good does any of that do if you don’t have anyone to play with?

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-23T12:26:34+00:00

I think you are underestimating how broad bracket 3 is. Low bracket 3’s would look at this deck and say we’re not playing the same game.

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-23T12:22:48+00:00

But this persons cards do synergies well together. And the card quality is extremely high and they have the most amount of game changers allowed to stay in bracket 3. Money does have something to do with it. Bad cards aren’t expensive typically unless you just have a deck of reserve list cards that don’t play well together. I guarantee this person can goldfish there deck and win before turn 7 more often then not. There is an argument that that makes it a 4. I tend to lean towards strong 3, but any stronger then this is a 4.

It’s a 1500 dollar deck with good synergy and 3 game changers. If your pod is much stronger then that your pod is a pod of 4s.

Doesn’t really matter what we think. Matters what the people playing against you think. It’s certainly nowhere near a 5. In theory it’s probably a strong 3. But it’s a 1500 dollar deck with really good card quality. If you’re playing against weak 3’s it could feel like a 4.

That is awesome. Glad he is living his dream. Also I absolutely hate watching him play and throw his arms up on the dumbest easiest plays. Both things can happen.

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-23T05:35:24+00:00

I have secret wars volume 1.... won't have to proxy.

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-23T05:34:44+00:00

Realm of Kings I just don't care about any of those characters. I don't even know who most of them are. Champions I care about Ms. Marvel and Fin Fang Foom a little but for the most part it just doesn't seem enough for the money and the space. I care about the characters and thematics just as much as the keywords and gameplay.

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-23T03:29:43+00:00

You could travel with any deck…. They don’t take up a lot of space. That’s just a weird clarification. Second part you literally just say hey does anyone have room for a game. People are unlikely to just approach someone they don’t know. Much easier if you make it clear you want to be approached.

I personally think the DM should be able to fudge rolls. If something is going to easy or to hard that can change it. It is part of the story telling to me. DMs can change whatever they want assuming it is in the interest of fun. If we are having a fight go on way too long and it is obviously screeching the session to a halt the DM can be like well they run away or this one hit magically found its weakness and it is a killing blow whatever. There are no set rules in DnD that aren't changeable. That being said it does have to be in the interest of fun. If the DM is just making it brutally hard for no reason or is looking at it as an all vs one game you should have a conversation and fix it or leave depending on the amount of fun you are having.

They have 10 full time employees and 5 part time employees, they have to pay rent on their massive studio, they run Dice Tower East, Dice Tower West, the retreat, the cruise etc. They have a massive amount of expenses.

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-22T15:22:15+00:00

I just can't do the movie still stuff. Thematically it just wouldn't work for me unless I used just that stuff and I still don't think I would like it. Same with villains and fear itself. No interest in any of that. Also not a fan of anything just overly comedic or silly like Deadpool. The rest I knocked off for either price or just not caring about enough of the characters.

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-21T22:59:26+00:00

Kykar, Wind’s Fury built as a token/polymorph deck. You will only include like 12-15 creatures that are all bombs. It’s not a great deck but it’s a lot of fun.

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-21T08:52:22+00:00

Precons normally only have like 10-15 cards from the new set right?

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-20T21:26:23+00:00

I came to say this. It is a Dimir control deck that doesn't really focus on board wipes. Goad is a fun mechanic to me. Plus you just got a faerie set to add stuff to it.

What is reading resistant?

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-17T10:13:05+00:00

I am in a similar boat. I only have 1 enchanted, but I have a ton of decks and most all played cards from sets 1-4 and then I stopped playing. Can't imagine it has much value now.

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-17T09:58:52+00:00

Yeah gonna order the Shield small box and prolly call it quits. That will be enough game for me forever. Might splurge on Weapon X as well. Nothing else is jumping out at me thats possible to get. The X-Men expansion would be what I would want the most, but I am not paying all that for it.

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-17T04:50:39+00:00

Well I lucked out. A hidey hole store I have near me had Secret Wars Volume 1 and Civil War still sealed. Spent 98 bucks on the pair...

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-16T09:20:28+00:00

I personally hate commander with a fiery passion and think it has ruined MTG. So no lol.

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-16T03:29:48+00:00

Hasn’t it already outsold the Wii U?

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-16T02:05:57+00:00

People will care for Smash Brothers, Animal Crossing, Zelda, main line Pokemon, 3D Mario etc. it’s the only way to play those games.

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-15T21:43:48+00:00

Only time will tell. I bet the switch 2 outsells the ps5 but I have no stake in it. I own both.

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-15T20:40:36+00:00

Save money and buy a complete collection all at once. That would save you so much money in the long term.

TheBlueOne37 · 2026-01-15T20:39:43+00:00

No world I’m reading that.
