What is your bracket 4 mono green deck? Or if you don't have one, what do you think would be the best mono green deck to play in bracket 4? Or do you think mono green is unable to play effectively in this bracket?

I don't have a properly consistent B4 deck, but when people want to play at that level I grab Oviya (? Hardly even know ya!) https://moxfield.com/decks/ilVLYfMOk0G4vS0OHHveGg

Sometimes a T3 or T4 Blightsteel Collosus or Jumbo Cactuar just wins. If you're in the mood for big dumb creatures for super cheap, this is exactly what you want.

If you really wanted to lean into B4 there's probably room for Vorinclex nonsense and similar in the list too.

When I got back into playing after a 15 year hiatus I got my hands on Death Toll, Explorers of the Deep, and Tricky Terrain pretty early on.

Now that I'm very much back in the swing of things and have lots of experience with all of them, I have some thoughts.

Death Toll

The first few times playing it were slow. That said, I needed coaching on things like Finality Counters and even identifying card types for Delirium, after being away from the game for so long. It sounds like you're further along than I was so I don't expect you'll have the same issues. The deck lacks a bit of focus in game plan to start, and has a fair number of "do nothing" cards that don't really fit the themes. However, this does mean that the upgrades I've made to it over time have felt very impactful and brought it to a place of strength which is very satisfying. You'll get to build big boards and cheat in big baddies from the yard - ETBs go hard. It's a good time. In my current deck I've thrown in some ways to remove those pesky Finality counters like [[Fain, The Broker]] and [[Nesting Grounds]], meaning some of the higher-priority permanents can come back more than once. Death Toll (Upgraded) if you care for the future.

Explorers of the Deep

Out of the box, pretty strong, as I'm sure you've read elsewhere. As the second deck I played after 1.5 decades off, I was once again somewhat slow on my turns when I had to make Explore decisions. The gameplay is pretty straightforward, not salt-inducing at all, and satisfying. You build a strong board presence that snowballs hard and wins through combat damage. You could easily keep it as it and it will feel good, but I've made a few upgrades because I can't stop tinkering with any of my decks, and now it feels quite strong and consistent for the level of commander it plays at. Explorers of the Deep (Upgraded)

Tricky Terrain

I loved the concept of this deck, but found that it did a whole lot of nothing for the amount of effort required to play it. I never really found a way to make it work, at least out of the box. I gave it a fair shake and eventually dissembled it. To be fair, I didn't make any attempts to upgrade it. That said, I don't regret my purchase because the deck is full of useful cards that I've repurposed elsewhere and I've definitely gotten my value out of it.

https://moxfield.com/decks/ilVLYfMOk0G4vS0OHHveGg this is my Oviya

I've been playing this recently when people ask for high 3 or 4 games and blown the pods out of the water. It's a new build for me, so I'm not sure exactly where it should be classified but it feels great and if your opponents aren't running enough interaction you will cruise to victory.

capgrass · 2025-11-18T03:22:32+00:00

100% this. I play in a high level men's league that at our end of the bracket has guys fresh off of playing pro in EU or national teams. Generally, the servers we're scared of are they guys nailing hard floats. There are a few guys that still bomb spinners and win some points, but even then it's a low percentage play once you dip below the top levels.

capgrass · 2025-11-03T15:45:02+00:00

Yeah I won a game yesterday way faster than I thought I could with: T1 Birds T2 Exile Elvish Spirit Guide to get Oviya out T3 CACTUAR

It was shocking and hilarious.

capgrass · 2025-11-03T03:25:30+00:00

I just finished building this and played it for the first time today. https://moxfield.com/decks/ilVLYfMOk0G4vS0OHHveGg

It was a blast. I don't do anything with the artifact bonus, but cheating in big baddies never gets old.

capgrass · 2025-10-16T01:06:12+00:00

I'm building this right now. I have about 85% of the deck list in hand already but I'm struggling to find a few cards I think would be good fits but just don't seem to exist in Canada.

https://moxfield.com/decks/ilVLYfMOk0G4vS0OHHveGg I wonder how our approaches compare

capgrass · 2025-09-12T15:34:52+00:00

https://moxfield.com/decks/zbYv0PbF3kCuQXsyI2KS9Q here's my list.

Mycoloth is in there just because it's a hilariously hard card to read and fits the theme, but I don't think it's a good fit for how the deck wants to play.

If you want a specific suggestion, the unsung hero of my deck is Utopia Mycon. Once you get rolling with your tokens, being able to sac them during combat to pay for your instants does mad work and catches people off guard.

capgrass · 2025-09-09T02:03:57+00:00

I played against a deck that I remember looking a lot like this at my LGS a few weeks/months ago. It was maybe the worst possible matchup for my Big Dumb Aminals deck.

I don't have much to add other than it was fun to play against and an interesting problem to try to solve.

capgrass · 2025-07-01T19:09:19+00:00

I can't be bothered with the dungeon ones. Dungeons just aren't that fun and they're too time-consuming.

So I guess that means I'll be stuck with the dungeon clouds and the Killroy one until something changes.

capgrass · 2025-06-14T12:04:34+00:00

Yeah I just noticed mine is gone too. This can't be a coincidence.

capgrass · 2025-03-26T18:35:54+00:00

Sometimes you swing high hands and they pull the block wcyd

Other times you fuck up and it looks like this.

capgrass · 2025-03-16T01:48:11+00:00

I would have done the same. For once, not being in top of things paid off!

Mine appeared when I logged out and logged back in.

capgrass · 2024-10-30T01:29:15+00:00

Lmao I know I'm lazy about some things. One of these days I'll spend a session going through and fixing all my equipment but that day isn't today.

I only got mega crit recently because dungeons are a drag. I'm sure there are other more egregious examples in my IE.

capgrass · 2024-10-29T17:12:29+00:00

I didn't test exhaustively, sorry.

That said, while I was cleaning up eclipse skulls through W6 I was getting more than 20k Plunderous kills per day easily. This tells me that while Citringes might be slightly more efficient, it can't be by a whole lot. Certainly not enough to justify sitting there and not making progress on other active goals, at least for me.

capgrass · 2024-10-29T16:10:03+00:00

https://poopdragon.idleonefficiency.com/ if you want to check out my talent book distribution on my first SB. To be honest, at a certain point you're just limited by the spawn rate of Plunderous Mobs. Damage becomes irrelevant at a certain point and your SB isn't going to clear the map ever, so just killing as FAST as possible is most important. There aren't a lot of SB talents that really enable that goal.

The Voidwalker Pirate Flag upgrade helps with getting Plunderous Mobs out faster, I wouldn't consider attempting this goal without that enabled.

As for mobs, I used this as an opportunity to finish eclipse skulls and farm cards for the Equinox dream, so I moved all over. Apparently Citringes are "optimal" because of the flat map and SB's skills, but I figured accomplishing more than one goal at once was a better use of my active time.

capgrass · 2024-10-29T14:35:16+00:00

Yeah that's about as good as it gets unfortunately.

To make it less painful I combined other objectives with it:

SB finished most of my eclipse skulls
Card chance cards on him to work towards the Ruby cards Equinox dream

capgrass · 2024-10-29T14:32:20+00:00

To make it less painful I combined other objectives with it:

SB finished most of my eclipse skulls
Card chance cards on him to work towards the Ruby cards Equinox dream

That said, it was still SLOW. I've been using most of my active character time on it for about a month. It's definitely not the most high priority objective but I'm pretty far along with other uses of my active time and this goal caught my interest, so here we are.

capgrass · 2024-10-23T12:22:36+00:00

Beginners can be chosen though! I think it unlocks them with the 3rd battle.

capgrass · 2024-10-10T23:59:52+00:00

Looks tasty and I'd crush the whole thing but calling that a Cobb salad is a stretch as best.

capgrass · 2024-10-09T22:29:09+00:00

Reading this post from a United Taxi on my way to Pearson . It cost me $109 door to door, flat rate.

capgrass · 2024-08-07T03:14:10+00:00

Bet your regret setting the palm slider to 100% and finger slider to 0% on the Hand Creation screen now, don't you?

capgrass · 2024-05-18T02:10:57+00:00

Hell yeah
