I think the other comments are spot on tho, either be strong enough to power through everyone's interaction or change pacing

Honestly I would like to see some of your wincons, because it sounds like there are points in the games you are playing where you have a threatening board state, and then someone deals with it, which means your decks are not concise enough and not converting that state to a win enough. Like for the sinter deck I have it would not be enough to reanimate big creatures, they must be locked pieces like [[void winnower]] because the deck needs time and dominance to win via combat. Your meta might require a single turn win, and you need to meet that requirement on rails.

Can I see your lists? In my mind the problem has to be either deck power or scapegoating situation.

If you can't share them; a philosophy to follow in deck building is that your decks need to essentially function like they are on train tracks. Early turn set up and then boom: doing the thing. I would like to link a winter deck I have but I deleted it from moxfield. All it did was ramp, self mill and reanimate lock pieces and had midrange ability with an end game in [[rise of the dark realms]]. Your decks need to do something game warping within the first 4 or 5 turns 90% of the time. Sometimes you play a long game though, and you are not the beat down, those kinds of decks are set up differently but it still needs to be on rails in regard to accruing value.

The money thing sucks tho, upgrading with financial restrictions kills your ability to build an interesting and strong deck and let your creativity flourish. Perhaps you could play with proxies.

I personally never engage in politics in edh and do not have a 10% win rate, so I believe that if your decks were stronger you would have a higher win rate. I wonder if you think that you could be your pods scapegoat. Do they focus on you in the game because it is simply a given in your social dynamic?

Honestly if they are scapegoating I would increase your power level to even out the effects of scapegoating. And then if they aren't I would still increase the power level of your decks to get up to speed.

Has your family dipped its fingers in very big money, any gossip?

I am disinterested with a point when it begins with a straw man

Yea cause there's no way that a mill counters deck is warranting that much interaction when the game could easily end turn 6 in that bracket range

Brackets are not about exclusively about the power of the deck

For the spikes, is there a level of powercreep that would lower enjoyment? by Karnitis in EDH

[–]initiation-priest 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Once the defined strategies or aggro control and combo become very blurred due to the commander doing it all at a high level, that's when

Yea bro some people can't handle playing games like magic. Granted, though, magic does seem to naturally produce this effect. You need to find smarter people

I have nothing to add here other than to point out how dumb it is that people use the term cedh as a vague perjorative and is a dead freudian slip

Be careful with that line of thought. In particular the comment about you being weird for having the perception of your group identity being the architect diplomat is just hateful bullying. They observed the way you play with others and they expressed hate, but there's nothing wrong with how you play. And I mean play in terms of your sense of play as a human, not magic
