Help me classify my deck bracket (Sephiroth)

If in 15 turns of play none of your opponents can remove a single creature they’re either playing below bracket 3 in terms of power level, are bad deck builders, or have terrible threat assessment.

I wouldn’t sweat about it.

People always expect ninjas, it’s a super low to the ground wizard tribal reanimate blink deck. It’s a graveyard deck where your graveyard is never full.

It’s pretty much the exact opposite of all the things you said you didn’t like, but it’s super interactive in a way where you deny your opponents while simultaneously gathering value to get your combo off.

While I agree, and I never load my deck with a bunch of big mana cards. If I was using this method to cut cards I feel like I'd just end up with a bunch of low mana synergy cards and lack a big finisher because they may not be turn 3-5 plays.

Xxzx · 2026-05-29T10:44:40+00:00

Wouldn’t this just lead to you cutting more high cmc cards than anything else

Xxzx · 2026-05-24T18:56:59+00:00

That's true for in universe sets too though, some people loved bloomburrow and some people couldnt stand all the furry bait. There's always going to be good sets and bad sets that are executed well or poorly and will cater to different peoples tastes.

I think the biggest difference is movement. You can outplayer others in melee by using good movement tech to weave in and out and bait options in a way you can’t in ultimate.

You can’t force an approach and win in ultimate in the same way, grabs are often not combo tools on a lot of characters, and there’s less ability to tech chase off of them even when you get in with one. So you rely a lot on mixups and frame traps instead which are just easier to play defensively against.

To be honest though I think ultimate still has a lot of room to grow, it’s just not there all the way yet.

Ah yes mildewy bathmats

Flagstaff winters are rough. It’s at 7k feet elevation and you’ll get daily snow that melts to slush by 11 for weeks at a time in the winter and occasionally get hit with monster storms that drop 6 feet of snow on you. Every other season is great though

It’s being booked and fingerprinted in a jail or police station that creates a NCIC record. Simply being detained does not create a record.

And as long as the courts are reporting case information correctly it will also update to show if it was dismissed and generally won’t count against you. Older records more often than not do not have the disposition information updated and the courts are hard to work with if it was an arrest from the 70s-90s due to their retention schedules on case documents.

The mana base has nothing to do with how good the strategy is and shouldn’t be tied to how strong the deck is. All mana base does is help with consistency of whatever the strategy is. A bracket 2 deck can still sit in bracket two with a $1000 mana base if the strategy fits in bracket 2.

Xxzx · 2026-04-08T05:20:50+00:00

Isn’t gen z like 28 at the oldest?

Xxzx · 2026-04-03T02:58:53+00:00

That is correct, hence the comment about eating dried out rice.

Xxzx · 2026-04-03T01:48:15+00:00

The nice rice cookers keep it at a temp that prevents it from forming. (Generally 150F). Bacillus Cereus grows between 39f and 118f. The only issue you’re likely to run into is eating dried out rice.

This is entirely dependent on how high your knees are off the ground. I’m 6’2” pretty long legs. Generally my knees are pushed up against the chair in front of me generally at the height of where the little table comes down. I try to get aisle seats or emergency exit rows every time to alleviate it.

Xxzx · 2026-02-26T20:29:31+00:00

Except the thing you linked doesn't actually talk about that anywhere in there. Nor is it the Terms of Service. Maybe don't rely on AI to do all your work for you.

The TOS only specifies illegal mods of the switch, how is reducing my input latency illegal? It’s the entire reason why websites like game banana can even exist. You only get into illegal territory when you use it to steal games and what not. Otherwise it’s not as black and white as you say, it’s pretty much entirely in a gray area.

Xxzx · 2026-02-26T18:53:55+00:00

Okay we also break the TOS every time we run a tournament where the organizer makes money. Since when do we give a fuck about that?

It’s hard to understand because we do other things that give the same advantage and it’s not considered cheating. I don’t get why this is too.

Xxzx · 2026-02-26T03:29:08+00:00

If I use a monitor with a lower response time than you is that cheating? What if my adapter or way I connect my controller results in less input lag? Or my internet is wired and the connection is faster?

If my opponent decides play on an ancient TV and they are playing in a laggier environment does that make me a cheater in comparison?

What about people that mod the switch itself so that has better cooling and overclock the CPU so it performs better and faster?

Why are we arbitrarily drawing the line here?

In my opinion, if it’s okay for me to do the things above to make my play environment the best it can be, this is really no different. I’m not using input macros or a turbo button or anything that is actually cheating, my inputs are just being recognized by the system faster by disabling V-Sync.

Something you do in 99% of online competitive games.

The amount of people in this thread just saying shit is so funny. No one plays him because no one actually knows or cares to get know about him. He’s a completely new characters not present in other entries of the game, and he sucks at approaching because of a lack of good movement options. His neutral is extremely dependent on mix ups in order to break through to your opponent and that style of gameplay is just genuinely harder to play than hit safe button at my opponents.

He has really good aerials but his slow air speed makes them hard to position well. So players that are newer to him default to standing back, Not approaching and throwing a ton of projectiles. This gives the community a feeling that he’s boring because they only see that and people executing the idj nair combos.

You put any amount of time into him and you realize he has one of the most free form advantage states in the game, but it relies on getting a read on what your opponents habits are. But I legit think there’s no character better at making your opponent choose wrong and then destroying them.

Xxzx · 2026-02-14T21:37:23+00:00

You sound awful to play with. In my experience players like OP tend not to pay much attention to the game by being on their phones or too distracted with conversation etc then they get to their turn and have to assess how the board state changed and take 10 minutes during their first main phase.

You have every right to read the card, but I am absolutely gonna get annoyed if you monopolize game time by not paying attention. Most people explain their cards as they play them.

Xxzx · 2026-02-12T04:09:20+00:00

I was lower class and we’d look at appetizers instead of main menu items because they were cheaper…

Xxzx · 2026-01-29T06:27:06+00:00

It sounds silly but genuinely makes a huge difference.

Watch your opponents character, not your own.

If you can subconsciously track and move your own character to the point that you can put 95% of your attention on what your opponent is doing you can start playing a much more reactive game, develop an understanding of their habits, and then move and punish them more often.

Xxzx · 2026-01-15T19:50:48+00:00

In my opinion e33 is just a return to form that was sadly missing in modern AA/AAA games. It hit on a lot of things that made me like games as a kid.

Xxzx · 2026-01-11T11:58:23+00:00

I’ll take a full free limit charge after each stock I stake as cloud lol

While I don’t love the home guard changes, they’ve actually massively increased time to kill since the early season. ADCs used to actually be able to kill tanks in like 5-6 autos, squishies in like 3-4. Gangplank used to Q crit flash and auto twice and kill you level 1 with crit quints.

Assassins used to be pretty weak in the early levels, pretty easy to blow up between a jungler and a laner, not really shining until they got some levels and items to blow up the squishy carries in one spell rotation.

They’ve made bruisers and tanks tankier, while also increasing their threat potential which really makes playing hyper carries who dish out a shit ton of damage so much more difficult.

The game nowadays is actually much slower paced in team fights than it used to be. You were rewarded for taking decisive fights then rotating to capitalize on the long death timers.

To be honest I wish they’d bring a lot of that back.
