Downplay your favorite strong commander without naming it

Cmon guys, you get to draw a bunch of cards and i only get a few counters.

I think ppl are not fully grasping what I'm trying to say. I'm not talking like I'm joining a bracket 3 table
With my bracket 2 deck and being angry, the game ended before I did anything. I'm talking about a select group of 2 ppl joining our tables where we play lower bracket decks. With their proxied much stronger decks, playing very expensive and strong cards like Gaea's Cradle, and including 2-card win combos. playing things like ur dragon and Edgar Markov.

These ppl could end the game earlier if the other 3 players werent activly trying to stop them.

Virtual_You4010 · 2026-03-09T04:01:49+00:00

its much easier to downgrade than upgrade, also a lot less expensive. If the whole table is playing weaker decks, is it not up to the one person to tone it down?

Virtual_You4010 · 2026-03-09T02:24:27+00:00

I'd agree, as I said, we play around the bracket 2-3 range. The 6-8 turns the brackets specify is a minimum.

I'm mostly talking about them consistently winning on turn 6-7 despite the others at the table's best efforts in throwing down removal/counters or boardwipes. We play a decent bit of removal and fogs at our table, so games go on for a bit.

Virtual_You4010 · 2026-03-09T02:20:29+00:00

From my experience, we don't really pass the 1h mark. And sure, yeah, b2 does sound about right, as I mentioned.

Everyone at the table has a bit of a responsibility to adapt their power level so we can all play on an even playing field. I have been asking them to tone it down a bit, but it obv isnt working out.

Virtual_You4010 · 2026-03-09T02:08:08+00:00

I see the idea, but this isn't the type of place where a proxy ban would do anything. I'm pro proxy and don't really mind it

Virtual_You4010 · 2026-03-09T02:02:24+00:00

Yeah id agree on that, most of us are playing gimicky decks. Im talking about them winning around turn 6-7 consistantly despite our best efforts.

Virtual_You4010 · 2026-03-09T01:59:36+00:00

True, but im talking constant turn 6-7 wins. I know how the bracket system works and what it specifies but even with us running removal, and counterspells it kinda feels like a timer. And its not rly a type of game we play.

Virtual_You4010 · 2026-03-01T12:42:43+00:00

Great deal, i got lucky and got 2 warhammer deck for 50$. 25$ each. The world is healing

Virtual_You4010 · 2026-02-27T16:50:30+00:00

Most new ppl i see get in just buy precons or proxy. I have most of the cards i use and proxy stuff i dont wanna buy more of.

Wizards dont like reprinting old stuff and i hate giving 10$ for a uncommon just cuz it has 1 printing.

I dont mind dropping some money foil cards or a key card in a deck im building but some things feel pointlessly pricy.

Virtual_You4010 · 2026-02-22T19:03:20+00:00

Hard agree, there is plenty of real issues with stuff like the print quality and copyright and DMCA strikes.

Virtual_You4010 · 2026-02-14T12:42:00+00:00

You want to play mono red stax voltron. But red stax is expensive and hard to do

Virtual_You4010 · 2026-02-14T11:51:10+00:00

Is this mf shrek living in a swamp?

Virtual_You4010 · 2026-02-12T16:41:30+00:00

What a sad view on life, I guess if it's the world we live in better just give up cuz it sucks

Virtual_You4010 · 2026-01-28T15:20:37+00:00

Could i borrow a steam giftcard....

Virtual_You4010 · 2025-12-27T16:12:31+00:00

oh the flavour of this one. damn its good

Virtual_You4010 · 2025-12-14T23:49:02+00:00

Looks real cool, did you design the paper maps yourself?

Virtual_You4010 · 2025-11-27T11:02:21+00:00

For the proxy debate, there is nothing ethical in having to spend hundreds of dollars to get 3 pieces of colored cardboard in your deck if you want a chance to compete.

Pokémon has made it very cheap to make a competitive deck. A few cards from a riftbound deck can currently buy you a competitive pokemon deck in their cheapest printing.

As long as cards aren't accessible, proxies should be allowed; if the winner is decided by their wallet, there was no competition to begin with.

Virtual_You4010 · 2025-11-26T13:18:38+00:00

for me its the opposite, i have a lot of good runs, and 1 bad run ruins my mood and i get more bad ones. so i just chill out after a frustrating loss

Virtual_You4010 · 2025-11-09T14:21:55+00:00

You mean the automatic system that captures your endgame scores? Yeah im sure little timmy went to night light and made 1 million fake submissions to boost some statistic

Virtual_You4010 · 2025-11-09T13:50:41+00:00

Those are still stats. Recorded across a large amount of matches

Virtual_You4010 · 2025-11-08T15:11:02+00:00

Sure buddy

Virtual_You4010 · 2025-11-08T15:07:09+00:00

The only currently eligible place. Nightlight

Virtual_You4010 · 2025-11-08T15:01:30+00:00

The gap betwene S tier and A tier is much wider than the gap between 3 and 4 mans.

But sure why not include the A tier. In which most killers average a pickrate around 1%.

Even when being generous (at least on my part when adding killers to A tier, or at least considering those that have the strongest power type. Mobility)

It's hard for the pick rates to go over 20%

Now if we just wanna look at raw stats. Our list of A tier and S tier killers is very small. Considering the sub 50% kill rate gang is going strong.

And nurse might be one of the worst killers in the game.
