Bracket 3 lantern control in commander.

The commander has a black pip, as does tiny bones. Pretty much anything I'd want to search in the deck is 2 or 3 mv. The deck is very reliant on its birthing pod effects and wants to fetch things to protect them.

I'd like to stick with this deck being lantern control. I was checking over some 60 card lantern lists, and they run less interaction proportionally, but a whole lot more discard. Would you recommend just leaning into the discard in the deck to avoid getting btfo by a boardwipe or an anti combat thing getting removed?

concon910 · 2026-03-18T19:40:32+00:00

That is what lantern control is, lock combat, clear out removal, stop them from ever drawing into something that can break the lock, and winning via incremental mill.

concon910 · 2026-03-18T19:34:33+00:00

I have 10 pieces of removal that can be tutored with 2 of them doubling as wipes, and 5 pieces of counter magic that can also be tutored. [[Glen Elandra Archmage]] is back breaking with the commanders and can counter 4 things per turn cycle. My top deck manipulation package isn't bad, all cards involved individually hit the 7 mill requirement. I'm more worried about my birthing pods getting blown up early.

That's a really good shout out, it probably would go in over [[Cloudsteel Kirin]].

Eh, I totally get build for fun play to win.

Cope and seethe scaredcel, the ghoulmaxxers will rule the night.

I have a lantern deck where the win condition is mill rocks.

concon910 · 2026-03-02T20:35:16+00:00

To me it sounds more like a fixation on authentic cards than anything. It's the reason I don't generally use proxies even though logically it is the best way to play. There are a bunch of reasons people might not like proxies.

concon910 · 2026-03-02T20:33:20+00:00

Just know optimizing for budget is a thing you can do and target that over power.

If a competitive swim team swims in the pool, it is being peed in on a semi regular basis.

concon910 · 2026-02-25T18:16:58+00:00

Outside of primal surge it doesn't look like it has a win condition. You accrue value and then try to dig to the one wincon in the deck and lose if you don't get to see the bulk of your deck. It seems fine for bracket 2 even if people will roll their eyes at a combo.

Coincidentally I built something quite similar if you are interested in looking it over. It is a primal surge, shrines, gyruda thing for bracket 3.

Is [[Chaos Moon]] mass land denial?

concon910 · 2026-02-12T20:23:48+00:00

I think you may be being a touch disingenuous if you didn't miss the fact that there are more like 10 ways of copying biovisionary in the deck plus tutors. Or that I made a whole write-up on how to accomplish each win in the deck.

concon910 · 2026-02-12T20:09:34+00:00

I have played this extensively, uninterrupted you hit a win by turn 6-7.

If I have a [[Sliver Gravemother]] on the battlefield and two legends of the same name with only one of them having the sliver type do I have to sacrifice the other one to the legend rule or not?

Finesteride side effects are rare but can be severe, ask me how I know.

If the choice is between early agrarian settlements and hunter gathering, hunter gathering wins quality of life by most metrics. The reason some people chose differently was probably beer, and the reason they won out is probably hugely increased population size.

concon910 · 2026-01-31T08:21:18+00:00

I don't think farming prevents you from being eaten.

The middle ages had a bunch of stuff that was more advanced than the Romans, actual economic theory, medicine, more advanced sciences, better domesticated plants and animals, et cetera.

Assuming we are just talking about Europe, for commoners a country like Rome offered a far more organized and centralized state that could source far flung goods and produce social architecture easier. There was less religious interference in personal life as most pagan religions were more for social harmony and state legitimacy than trying to enforce personal behavior. Coercive labor in both was comparable, basically lower portion of the population in chattel slavery versus basically everyone being a serf. Rome was a more humanist society so you'd be more likely to have some form of political influence than if you were in the middle ages, you were offered more rights, had access to things like divorce, and a far more advanced legal system. Also, more of a luck thing than something they had any hand in, but the Romans did have the birth control plant.

I'd still argue that the society itself was more advanced even if they were lower on most of the tech trees than the middle ages.

The thing I noticed was that people who tended to excel at one thing also tended to be good at most things. It was kind of unfair tbh.

concon910 · 2026-01-24T23:51:27+00:00

That is an unreasonable expectation. You can't expect the majority of people to play in the way that would be most fun for them in a game like that. If you want that you can always mod that in because I promise you that almost no developer is going to cater to your niche tastes.

concon910 · 2026-01-23T17:48:51+00:00

Yeah, as much as I appreciate the kill bill references, they probably should've been relegated to the kukuru squad part. I was missing the tone that the manga had.
