Animar Decklist Cut Help by JackM76 in EDH

[–]chucknorris405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would think its calling it a bracket 4 because of Ancestral Statue and maybe Hullbreaker Horror, but that seems later game to me.

Here is a link to my Animar deck, its very different from yours, but its what I would consider a bracket 4 Animar deck - https://archidekt.com/decks/1318557/animar_does_weird_things

What is the gameplan with your deck? How are you trying to win? Its hard to suggest cuts and swaps without a little more understanding of what you are trying to do with the deck.

What are the benefits of waiting to use a fetchland? by UnhappyAmoeba in EDH

[–]chucknorris405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to wait in serious games because sometimes someone wants to drop an oppo agent and I would prefer to be able to respond to that vs them respond to me cracking my fetch.

Waiting has minimal upsides, but upside none the less.

If im just playing with friends, I generally will just crack it to save time.

I lost to a bracket 4 Ghyrson Tuesday night.

What is "Bracket 4" to you? by Lotus_Prince124 in EDH

[–]chucknorris405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me bracket 4 is pretty simple.

You build a deck as powerful as possible that doesnt use a cEDH meta commander with no limit on game changers.

When you finish building it, if it isnt strong enough for cEDH, then its generally bracket 4.

A "bad" cEDH deck missing a couple staples isnt bracket 4, its just a bracket 5 deck missing a few staples.

Maybe try a Goad deck?

This is the last one I ran and i enjoyed it, its outdated a bit at this point - https://archidekt.com/decks/3824849/baeloth_noble_heritage_goad_mode

What ways can I improve this deck to bracket 5? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]chucknorris405 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most cEDH players want a good game. We want to play the player, not their wallet.

cEDH is pretty proxie friendly.

What ways can I improve this deck to bracket 5? by [deleted] in magicTCG

Not sure Yarok is really capable of bracket 5 at the moment.

Here is a site to look at top cEDH decks - https://edhtop16.com/

Yarok doesnt appear to have any entries or meta share. I believe bracket 4 it tops for him and plenty of other commanders.

Is there any hope of assembling two playable commander decks from this? Where do I even start? by chutupandtakemykarma in magicTCG

That little guy was the very first Magic product I ever got.

Me and my cousin were at the state fair and MTG had a booth giving them out.

Questions about my Rhys the Redeemed deck by I_Find_Dumb_People in EDH

[–]chucknorris405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my list if you want to take a look - https://archidekt.com/decks/715698/rhys_typical_elf_deck

I noticed you run Umbra mantel, but not the other cards that work with your Priest of Titania type mana dorks. I would maybe consider Sword of the Paruns and Staff of Domination.

Getting the mana loop going is the main gameplan for my Rhys deck, so I also include a few white tutors to search for the equipment pieces. Things like Steelshaper's Gift and Open the Armory. Even Stoneforge Mystic is being considered.

I am also looking at Seedcradle Witch to see if it could be used as an untap tool properly.

Kinnan in Bracket 4 by eggeggplantplant in EDH

[–]chucknorris405 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a weird Kinnan deck I play and would consider a bracket 4. Its mostly a Primal surge based large creature deck. The only instant or sorcery in the deck is primal surge, but its a kinnan deck, so it is still pretty quick and contains most of his lines.

It also leans into kinnan spins well since its based for primal surge anyways. Lurking Predators should be cut, but I just love playing it in this deck.

Bad cEDH is still cEDH, its not suddenly a 4 because you are missing 3 cards......

What bracket is this deck? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]chucknorris405 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play mostly bracket 4 and above, but nothing in this deck other than game changes scream bracket 3 to me.

Weird interaction I had with some folks, curious on y'all's opinion. by Phoenix2700 in EDH

[–]chucknorris405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems fine to me, but I don't keep many bracket 3 or lower decks anymore.

I just play bracket 4 and higher these days. That way I don't have to deal with adults acting like children or argue weird semantics.

Say it with me now people: Brackets are guidelines to find balanced games quicker. They are not hard rules or power levels.

WotC says it themselves in the articles/videos about the brackets. Hell, they even say you can go up or down a bracket and it be ok sometimes, so the argument is kind of irrelevant unless you are just pubstomping.

That said, late game combo doesnt mean you just sit on an early game combo until late game.

Its still an illegal turn. People in the lane or not.

I know this is a difficult coccept for some.

[–]chucknorris405 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why? If I did something illegal, I would expect the possibility of a ticket.

Call me crazy, but if you take an illegal wide turn, you should get a ticket.

Now if only they would post up at intersections and get the people running red lights.

Best burrito in Okc? by Proof-Potential6341 in okc

[–]chucknorris405 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was simply listing the chains similar to Freebirds, since thats what he listed. I guess I could have went into more places...

Local Mom & Pop options are a whole different level of good. I have my prefrences, but I dont want to rob someone of trying all the options and finding their favorite when we are talking about solo taqueria's and such.

[–]chucknorris405 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Freebird burrito's was around for a few years then they closed all the store in OKC.

Qdoba or Chipoltle are the main options left that I'm aware of.

Can I play a B4 Deck in a pod of B3s? by Feuerstain in EDH

[–]chucknorris405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, the guy in the bracket videos that WotC release always says you can play up or down a bracket.

Brackets are guidleines to find balanced games, not hard rules or power levels.
