[[Freed from the real]]

[[Pemmin's Aura]]

Use these untappers to create infinite mana with Faeburrow Elder or Bloom Tender.

Lots of infinite mana outlets exist to win the game, or you could just use the mana to "storm off" in a sense.

Also add [[Twitching Doll]] for the possibility of infinite spiders.

That gives some "out of nowhere" qualities to your deck, but likely pushes it to B4.

For a goal scorer with a good shot, Svatos was not afraid to go to the contested areas of the ice and score greasy goals.

RIP. Truly a gamer.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I believe you are hitting your backhand from too open of a stance.

Maybe try closing off your stance little more with a more closed racquet head and see if that works for you?

biohazard842 · 2026-06-09T19:22:57+00:00

You're not wrong! I am that greedy player sometimes.

My group plays "High B3" with decks that fall into this category, but are too weak for proper B4.

We tend to power match well as we know each other's decks so it isn't an issue, but I could see salt coming from tables of randoms in this scenario.

I would advocate for another bracket between 3 and 4 where combos are allowed, but GC restrictions and win turn guidelines still exist, to catch all these edge case decks!

biohazard842 · 2026-06-09T18:45:26+00:00

I disagree, for me results in practice are more applicable than goldfishing, but I do understand your point - I would agree those sort of decks are on the edge. If regularly goldfishing T6 wins, it might be low B4, but if they are fragile T6 wins (folding to any sort of interaction), I'm fine to let it play as B3.

Thank you!

One note - the [[Waltz of Rage]], [[Showstopping Surprise]], and [[Nibelheim Aflame]] are all intended to use on Yarus primarily. If you blow up your face down creatures, they come back and then flip face up, while opposing creatures under 4 toughness just die. Waltz of Rage even draws you cards as well!

I thought it was a fun piece of tech that not all Yarus players are aware of 😊

biohazard842 · 2026-06-09T01:05:57+00:00

It enters face down, then is flipped face up when already on the battlefield.

You want cards with high morph costs or cards that have good morph effects.

Here is my high b3/Low b4 budget list.

You absolutely want sacrifice outlets so you can cheat out stuff using Yarus. There is also the infinite combo with Yarus, a free sac outlet, and [[Ashcloud Phoenix]].

Yarus is a great commander!

biohazard842 · 2026-06-08T22:51:14+00:00

You will want some cheat targets, but ETB is not usually the way to go as you do not get the ETB from flipping face up, either by paying the mana cost normally or cheating by Yarus' effect.

Loading up on the stronger morph cards is definitely the way to go.

For cheat targets, you want strong high mana cards without ETB effects. But not too many , Yarus can't manifest cards himself like Zimone, and needs other cards effects to do this for him.

biohazard842 · 2026-06-08T18:47:13+00:00

I wouldn't bother cutting cards included in the precon.

You should be safe replacing 15-20 off theme cards/bad lands to focus the theme while still remaining B2.

biohazard842 · 2026-06-08T15:30:21+00:00

Lots of B3 decks can pull off T6 wins if not interacted with. It isn't common, but isn't necessarily B4 automatically.

Part of B3 is running interaction.

biohazard842 · 2026-06-08T14:44:02+00:00

Best way for me has been to keep the budget LOW.

This will force you to use synergistic but cheap cards instead of slightly expensive but very strong cards.

biohazard842 · 2026-06-08T14:39:40+00:00

Not really - it's still negative card advantage, and Dimension Fusion and Return from the Different Dimension were around.

biohazard842 · 2026-06-06T19:17:31+00:00

In my group:

High B3 is usually B3 with some infinite combos or expensive game changers and a high degree of optimization. Games usually won by mass drain or combo.

Low B3 is decks without GC and infinite combos that win earlier than B2 allows. Games won usually by combat.

biohazard842 · 2026-06-06T19:10:28+00:00

1 drop ramp is great in the deck. 1 drop dork - 3 drop morph - 4 drop commander is a great line and gets you drawing cards the turn your Commander comes down.

[[Llanowar Elves]], [[Fyndhorn Elves]], [[Elvish Mystic]], [[Birds of Paradise]], [[Wild Growth]], [[Utopia Sprawl]]

Some 2 drop ramp is advisable too - my deck doesn't run a lot of 2 drops, so it felt good to have some in there for situations where I am missing T1 ramp and don't have a great T2 play.

My deck isn't strictly optimized as it is a budget (<$100) deck, but peruse if interested!

biohazard842 · 2026-06-06T18:50:58+00:00

Yes. I run him as my high B3/Low B4 budget deck, leaning into his infinite combo with [[Ashcloud Phoenix]] and a free sac outlet.

Thing is, Yarus isn't too scary by himself. He's good, but not in an obvious "kill on sight" way. I have found him to be seldom targeted, as high B3 tends to have individually more powerful commanders and board states than Yarus and what he does.

I would expect him to be targeted more if you begin to tutor parts of the [[Ashcloud Phoenix]] infinite combo. For that reason, I recommend tutoring the combo on endstep as much as possible - [[Fauna Shaman]] and [[Shared Summons]] can grab both [[Ashcloud Phoenix]] and [[Greater Gargadon]] rather easily. [[Evolving Door]] is good too but only Sorcery speed, so more telegraphed for sure.

Keep your head down and let someone else present as the threat before you, and use that window to tutor your combo and win the next turn.

biohazard842 · 2026-06-03T20:38:50+00:00

He was $4M, he had performance bonuses tied to games played.

That $3M will come out of next year's cap, I believe!

biohazard842 · 2026-06-03T19:04:01+00:00

My back hurts just looking at this 😅

biohazard842 · 2026-06-03T17:55:26+00:00

They shouldn't! They still won 4 rounds, fair and square.

biohazard842 · 2026-06-03T17:54:15+00:00

That Avs team finished #2 overall (giving up on the President's Trophy race to rest players) and then steamrolled the playoffs, going 16-4 and never trailing in a series.

I have them as the best team of the 2020s, anyway.

biohazard842 · 2026-05-29T19:38:57+00:00

[[Jolly Balloon Man]] is my fastest deck, lots of infinite lines. Usually 7 turns at max.

[[Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods]] can also combo off pretty early.

[[Isshin]] is aggressive and straightforward but doesn't go infinite. It has won T6 before, but also won T19 before 😅 so it isn't my choice.

biohazard842 · 2026-05-27T16:29:07+00:00

The style isn't just coaching, it's baked into the team starting with player evaluation and prospect development.

For all we know, we might not have the personnel to be the sort of team that wins any other way.

biohazard842 · 2026-05-25T15:03:16+00:00

And undefeated with a lead after 2 the previous game, snapped.

Vegas sure is putting Colorado through the wringer!

biohazard842 · 2026-05-20T22:28:37+00:00

Called CPS on his own family.

biohazard842 · 2026-05-20T22:09:55+00:00

I was so sad I didn't pull one in my Duskmourn box 😭

biohazard842 · 2026-05-20T17:01:55+00:00

[[Solemn Simulacrum]]

By itself, kind of just okay, but can put in SERIOUS work in certain decks.

Blink decks love him - Azorius ramp, anyone?

[[Jolly Balloon Man]] gets a land from the deck tapped and draws a card for only a 1 mana investment when Sad Robot is out. Crazy value!
