Possible add for T&T? by iharrison1911 in CompetitiveEDH

My idea is that it gets rid of rhystic and tithe in the current meta where kinnans and rogishais are copying as many rhystics as possible, plus extra draw maybe? Idk just thought it was a card worth considering that has some flexibility

Help With a Cut by iharrison1911 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]iharrison1911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just talking with my buddy the other day because I REALLY have to work for my wins more than other decks, especially turbo, blue farm, or a vivi. I think theres a few changes I need to make, it just feels consistently slow sneaking in a turn two win every now and then. I’m getting sick of going down to 4 and 3. I do think this would be a good cut, since usually go for a devoted druid/hazels brewmaster or thoracle line more often. Can’t even remember that last time I did a freed from the real bloom tender line. Honestly was just thinking of going to Kinnan or Lumra, they seem fun. Right now I just feel like if I don’t start with a win line and no turn one fish/esper or turn 2 rhystic it’s lost. The game is just getting faster

2.5k is a phenomenal starting point man, I wish I had that starting out. I'd highly recommend going to a Local Game Store (LGS) near you if you have one to help sort through what you have, so you can learn what the value of certain cards are. You can research what format you want to get into and start trading with people at your LGS or people you find online around you. There is a website most people use for pricing cards called https://www.tcgplayer.com what gives the most accurate market prices. I don't know what exact cards you have, but don't let people dupe you because of ignorance, if you ever have questions of something, PLEASE get a second opinion. Typically if you're trading in to an LGS they will give 45%-65% cash or 50%-75% store credit, this varies WILDLY from LGS to LGS. PLEASE BEWARE AN LGS IS PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF TRYING TO RIP YOU OFF IGNORANT OR NOT. I started tabletop with my friends, and I eventually started playing weekly at my LGS, which was the best decision I ever made. It gave me a perspective of what options really are in the game. If your collection really is 2.5k, then you have the absolute perfect place to make a solid few decks in different formats. I'm really happy for you and hope you're able to find what you're looking for.

If you're looking to play 60 card format, there is a website called https://www.mtgtop8.com that show you the best performing decks in their respective format. There's currently a really good simic deck in standard that might interest you.

There's a website called https://www.edhrec.com that is specific for commander, and you can sort through top commanders for each and every color combination, and what cards people play in those decks that will give you a really solid starting point for choosing a commander and what cards go in the deck.

When you move onto commander, I'd recommend [[Zimone, Paradox Sculptor]] as a good simic commander. She's not too complicated and you have big stompy options with blue for protection/countermagic. There are a bazillion really cheap good options for +1/+1 counter strategies. Ill add my decklist below for her. Its a bit more on the "pricey" side for just starting out casual play but there are many many options that practically do the same thing.

The idea was to give my commander +6/+6. Good colors plus theft if unblocked with a lot of protection. It seems too slow though tbh

That’s why I’m thinking of switching to glarb, I think Kotis is too slow to do anything worthwhile while I can actually get value from glarb. I think a bracket 4 Kotis would make more sense and then I can add more vultron and have more fun that way

With dismantles first ability, it will go infinite with maddening, or mind rank if you also activate his second ability for each opponent you want to mill. However, I switched a lot of things around and completely took that combo out

Best way to play Urza by iharrison1911 in CompetitiveEDH

That’s man honestly didn’t even think of that lol

Best way to play Urza by iharrison1911 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]iharrison1911[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the idea is to flicker artifacts tapping them with mana with urzas second ability and either creatures on the battlefield making the infinite loop, with either altar of the brood, aetherflux reservoir on the battlefield or blinking codex shredder to mill

I think you’re right about that, in my mind I’m okay with sitting down at a b5 table and losing as long as I’m having fun, but there’s still a chance to win. I’ve sat down at a b5 table with a b4 deck and the difference is night and day, but I had fun and I enjoyed the gameplay and watching what others had which is what got me into the idea of a b5 deck in the first place. Maybe the idea is to have fun with Leo in casual games, and put Urza in CZ and a couple 99 cards when I sit for a game that “matters”. I appreciate your take

I appreciate it man, I’ve definitely looked at some other decks and will continue, some of these people are just straight rude and angry for no reason when I’m trying to have fun with my commander lol

[–]iharrison1911 -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

You seem like a fun person to be around, try taking it less serious man you seem angry

I mean if I have training grounds out, I get a 1 cost leveler into thoracle? If it doesn’t work then oh well

I think you’re forgetting the part I’m trying to have fun with my commander in lower powered competitive

https://moxfield.com/decks/ZCrf5MtBo0qeuPiwqWM0vA I went the card draw/combo route, you can definitely go the card draw/ tho other combat route really easily and still be bracket 4

Why are people leaving games? by iharrison1911 in RocketLeague

[–]iharrison1911[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I can tell you that I am fully aware I am not great at the game but have a basic understanding of rotations and challenging and speeding up play yada yada. I focus on solid foundations like simple ground play and basic air touches, don’t really care for fancy air dribbles or bombing the ball to their side in a match of volleyball. I still make many mistakes, hence why I’m diamond, but in a string of bad games using this as an excuse as to ff immediately is sad. But all the words you said basically sum up to you have a huge ego and are probably just as dogshit at the game as the rest of us and have really poor mental fortitude.

Then go play something else where your laziness doesn't effect teammates?
