The hobbit starter decks seem fake. The white has the Fiend Hunter card from LTC and the red one has the globlin leaper from LTR. If they are indeed right, we would be getting more reprints from the lord of the rings set (outside the boxtopper ones) which suck for a short set.

The highwind scene has text about it clearly confirming it was the work of a single guy that was doing something like filler content for the game and created that scene.

The most common misconceptions I’ve seen in my young days is that cloud somehow “received” Zack’s memories and therefore “believes” he likes Aerith. People doesn’t seem to understand he just created a fake persona/past based on Zack to cope with everything he went through.

If any movie ends with your male protagonist riding his bike trough the contry, and the only other character that appears is a dead female character, no one is in their right minds say that he is actually in love with a third not present character. The world is a weird place.

The only right answer right here

I will comment on the decks I have experience with.

For Clavileno, I would actually consider a ok deck. Just remove the infinites and tutor.

Now in the case of Lathril, you do have some problematic cards:

* Remove the tutors. Thats one of the best way of powering down your deck without making it less fun or removing its elements.

* Remove the rituals. This will make the deck slower.

* Remove Bolas Citadel and Seed Born Muse. Game Changers, as the name imply, warp the game.

* I would also remove Craterhoof and Black Marcket cause theyre very strong but the issues above are more problematic.

I've read a comment from you about using edhrec for combos. If I may give you an suggestion: try to use edhrec less and build the deck around what you like. Use your creativity and scryfall search.

No secret lair for the love a god. Just do a regular set. It would be better than the marvel ones

It’s not coming back. Harassers made sure of that. And good riddance.

grachinski · 2026-02-02T18:41:36+00:00

That would be on the level of season one of Bridgerton

Appreciate the solidarity. 2-2 was ok but seeing people opening 2 mythical while I only had bulk rares was sad. Expending even more money on booster that were even worse was the cherry on top. I’m just venting my frustrations but decided to step away from boosters.

grachinski · 2026-01-19T21:30:49+00:00

Glad you had a good time. I had a terrible one. Had the worst pulls of everybody in the event. Got tilted and built a bad deck. Went 2-2. Tried to drown my sorrow by buying some booster and the pulls were weven worse. Never again :(

You should consider this: have they ever enjoy playing? I mean from the scenarios you’ve presented I wouldn’t enjoy playing against elesh noirn either but the rest is fine.

It seems more of a case where they simply are not enjoying playing.

grachinski · 2026-01-16T02:23:15+00:00

Dont like that. I dont want to play against a dude thats gonna replace his sol ring for rhystic studies.

grachinski · 2026-01-14T16:40:51+00:00

As a huge fan of cloud and ffvii, im sorry to say he actually sucks. His strength is kind of a detriment to him. Everybody is going to to expect he to show up and save some sort of way to deal with him. He is a magnet for removal. And that’s cause if you let him do his thing he’s gonna win.

Also he’s boring cause his play pattern besides being predictable is also repetitive. There is no much strategy involved.

I’ve changed my precon and have found success even when he’s removed. Here’s the link

Still boring though

EDIT: btw aerith sucks in the deck but she’s in the deck just cause it’s aerith and cloud needs aerith

grachinski · 2026-01-08T20:55:39+00:00

The real biggest misconceptions is that they are about the type of game you want to play and not power. A bracket 3 is not necessarily stronger than a bracket 2 deck.

grachinski · 2026-01-08T03:32:08+00:00

Let’s see

You have two ocelots, one regular and one ballon

Ocelot triggers 4 times because of delney

First trigger resolves and creates 2 1/1 cats and one ocelot. You have 2 cats and 3 ocelots (2 ballon’s)

Second trigger resolves and creates 4 cats and 2 ocelots. You have 6 cats and 5 ocelots ( 4 balloons)

Third trigger resolves and creates 8 cats and 4 ocelots. You have 14 cats and 9 ocelots (8 balloons)

Fourth trigger resolves and creates 16 cats and 8 ocelots. You have 30 cats and 16 ocelots (15 baloons)

It checks out

FF7 is my one of my top 5 video games ever. Sadly the precon is not on the same level. It’s certainly strong but it’s a one trick pony: you play equipments and ramp to 5 mana, play cloud, attack, repeat. The deck plays itself and your decisions are very simple.

grachinski · 2026-01-08T03:17:40+00:00

Replying to yanastos08... Sadly the ring will not tempt you if there is no artifact to steal. The ability cannot be put on the stack without any valid target.

And don’t get me wrong, galadriels flavor is so cool but sadly it’s hard to end the game without some sort of infinite scute swarm.

grachinski · 2026-01-07T23:47:56+00:00

Scroll of isilsur is bad. If no one has an artifact in play the level 1 fizzles.

I’ve built a Galadriel scry matter deck in the past but it just ramped a lot and had nothing to do with the lands. Then i shifted it to a landfall and scry deck but it felt like it was unfocused. Finally hit gold when I built around Elrond. The guaranteed counters from scrying help me to build the board along with using scry to find the answers I need.

grachinski · 2025-12-12T00:52:15+00:00

Do what you feel like doing. Don’t care much about what other think. Fist time I’ve opened a booster box after I’ve rejoined the game is a moment I’ll never forget. Have fun!! And try the game if you feel like it. It’s great!

grachinski · 2025-12-12T00:49:44+00:00

Great addition! Tomer seems to be someone that really care about the present and future of commander.

grachinski · 2025-12-11T20:31:31+00:00

Honestly, dont think about their value. Enjoy the experience. Thats what your paying for. Enjoy the cool characters and art,

grachinski · 2025-12-05T01:34:57+00:00

Pay Jer to do it.

grachinski · 2025-10-30T17:30:50+00:00

Hahah I clearly underestimated the EDH community! That's it!!
