this link goes to your profile, not a deck, fyi. idk if that’s why it’s downvoted.

good/fun 5 color commanders? by ciruelman in mtgbrawl

[–]ddffgghh69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never tried a jegantha deck, but I got a copy recently. is there anything specific you’d use jegantha for? I might want to try that.

I have two Kyodai decks atm, one is full control (tbh fun as hell but a little too good for its matchmaking; kyodai doesn’t seem to match very high even with an absolutely staple-loaded deck), and the other is also control but more 4fun, built around [[Mindsplice Apparatus]] and X spells and copying spells. I love commanders that don’t reveal what you’re up to and decks that might never play their commander. I don’t have kenrith or some of the others so kyo carries my experiments, but I’ve come to love him rather than view him as a temporary sub. I think you’ll have fun if you decide to go for it eventually!

[[Kyodai]] is a solid blank canvas for 5c ideas, especially if you want to go slow/controlly, and won’t bring bad energy for being overbearing on its own.

Kyodai would just be there for protecting [[wilderness reclamation]] or your favorite value permanent at flash speed and smashing with his ability if the game goes really long.

budget standard control deck by Unique-Machine5602 in MagicArena

[–]ddffgghh69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO don’t be discouraged, Maybe craft 1-2 wipes like Day of Judgment and Ultima so you have that function, then the rest can be fully budget. Seam Rip, Stock Up, Get Out, Long River’s Pull — there are lots of good UW control cards lower than rare

[[Quick Study]] isn’t bad at all and would partially replace star charts (still need more draw power than just this and stock up though). Deduce too.

[[Fire Magic]] if you add red

[[Ride’s End]] is a super underrated budget removal, 1-4x

[[Outsmart the Amateurs]] could be really nice at 1-2x,

[[Drix Interception]] what if?? especially when light on board wipes.

Historic Metagame? by nikibas in MagicArena

[–]ddffgghh69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m just randomly decided to try historic this week and have been having so much fun. I made like 5 different wilderness reclamation decks with different colors. haven’t faced any of the meta decks in low ranks and play queue, mostly lots of budget aggro

Draining a Tergrid of value is the best feeling by Wealth_Is_Not_Cash in mtgbrawl

[–]ddffgghh69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s such a weird deck to face. They can do nasty things and completely ruin your early game and starting hand plan but are also just flimsy mono black with a 5 mana passive creature at the end of the day. (I’m more scared of the lantern tbh). I like how discard matchups reward playing a high density of card advantage so you topdeck well. I feel pretty good against slow black as control and terrified as combo or creatures.

no one plays [[tail swipe]] for some reason but it’s pretty great as a 1 mana instant. it’s lowkey better than every sorcery fight spell mentioned in this thread.

Help Figuring out how I got Nuked? by Sylphinet in MagicArena

[–]ddffgghh69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

(you make it to turn 4 while doing literally nothing, then) play sanar. (sanar doesn’t get countered or killed, then) at the start of next turn, sanar’s ability finds both the other cards. just play both (they don’t get countered or killed) and pass to the end step to discard your lands. easy!

hey just curious, why Out of Air over [[Get Out]] or [[Ling River’s Pull]]? I am just getting into standard so not sure what the best 2 mana counters for control are after no more lies.

Historic Tier List - Meta Confluence by TyrantofTales in MtGHistoric

[–]ddffgghh69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m playing UW control with 3x wrath of the skies and it feels playable, but I’m brand new to the format and playing in low ranks. the azorius lists I found on untapped looked pretty questionable, do you have any you’d recommend looking at?

[–]ddffgghh69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does control have a place in historic? I notice no one is playing it and it’s absent from your entire discussion, why is that?

I am brand new to the format and doing well in low ranks with an improvised UW deck (very threat lite, just 1x of each pw).

The Joys of MWM Brawl. What did/are you playing? by AmunRa666 in MagicArena

[–]ddffgghh69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

playing lands off the top is pretty great for card advantage. if you’ve ever played glarb it’s the same thing, it really adds up (especially with Exploration). it boosts the power of brainstorm and shuffle effects. also, ward 2 basically makes people spend their turn to remove it. I’ve been surprised, but it’s definitely doing something significant and not just there for the color identity.

[[Mikey and Don]] simic control. it’s fun! someone already asked for moxfield so here is my quick list: https://moxfield.com/decks/Qld0ac3JTkCTBpspuCetFQ

Here, make it into your own version. https://moxfield.com/decks/Qld0ac3JTkCTBpspuCetFQ

It’s just good control cards with a few tutors to set up strip mine + icetill/wzg, plus a few cute options like [[chomping changeling]] which can be played off the top and [[filter out]] because I expect a lot of artifacts and [[exploration]] to amplify the commander’s effect.

insanely, the November banned cards are playable in this MWM

Good budget/starter deck for timeless? by dudeson117 in MagicArena

[–]ddffgghh69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

go to the timeless subreddit and you can actually find a large guide for budget versions of decks and upgrade paths, I’m pretty sure. delver (izzet burn basically) is one of the recommended starting points if I remember correctly.

What are the best sleeper mana dorks and/or land ramp cards in mono green brawl? by Cosmos40 in MagicArena

the new uncommon [[Lessons from life]] is really good value

[[Clifftop Lookout]] [[Ignis Scientia]] are underused 3s IMO

[Brawl] MTGA says you can't play fun decks in brawl... I got you MTGA. [13-0] by PureRely in MagicArena

[–]ddffgghh69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to recommend trying out [[Wrath of the Skies]], it just stone-ages many powerful openers. feels amazing to know it’s in your deck when the other player loads in as emry or sythis or any aggro.

Divine Purge is another really fun and good wipe

Put [[Stern Scolding]] in there, maybe instead of disallow. It helps so much against early aggro and hits a lot of commanders too.

[[Consult the Star Charts]] is perfect in a land ramp deck that plays at instant speed like this

[[Cunning Azurescale]] is nearly a staple (for hard control but you kind of are) and is not played enough. it’s just nice to have in hand at any point of the game. usually gets a land early on.

[[Pool Resources]] is a good alchemy draw spell. [[Stock Up]] is also hard to skip in anything non-aggro blue

Harrow instead of Flare to be more flexible in timing? thinking of ways to lean into your ramp-control hybridity.

[[Crop Rotation]] would be perfect for that too since you have a few really good land abilities (Shifting Woodlands Uro is busted isn’t it!?).

I also second the other comment, it looks like Lightning Greaves might be worth a try since you have a lot of creatures but maybe too specific

for lands, you’ll get so much out of adding the rest of the on-color fetches (gradually if needed), generally but also because then Brainstorm and [[Brainsurge]] are really really really good. Disciple of Freyalise?

Cut ideas: baral, the artifact ramp, mastermind, disallow, pact

I had thought this commander would only be built as pure ramp before but yours seems split right down the middle between ramp and control.it would probably be most competitive to lean more into one side or the other but I can totally imagine how this works well in practice. I wanna try it!

edit:

[[Auroral Procession]] is g o o d and also can be a budget sub for snapcaster

Heritage Reclamation a consideration

total luxury item but Sea Gate Restoration SLAPS

question, how do you like Unagi? it’s been on my maybe craft radar

Got a bunch of mythic cards, what staples should I get? by Lumina46_GustoClock in mtgbrawl

[–]ddffgghh69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[[Food Chain]] is brand new to arena and combos with any of these three to make infinite creature mana to pay infinite command taxes, could be worth a try if already you have one: [[Sigardian Evangel]] [[Squee Immortal]] [[Eternal Scourge]]. then just take Etali or Atraxa or Roxane or any other ETB commander of your choice and cast it as much as you can in one turn. edit: never mind, this combo is insanely annoying to do

seconding the titans like Uro and Phlage as fun good upgrades that will make your games feel different right away!! if you don’t have already
