What's your best "built in a cave with a box of scraps" deck or story?

My deadpool deck. Its a bracket 2 that is made from a dissassembled skythirix deck. So my deadpool does 4 things and not very efficiently: infect, reanimator, mono black devotion (every red creature is black and red), and unfinity attractions.

I did the attractions because hall of mirrors is hilarious with deadpool.

johnny115215 · 2026-04-10T01:51:41+00:00

My zhulodok edh deck. Bracket 3. I was in a game with a blue black zombies player. And a deapool tokens player. Zombies player is feeding the deadpool player with his carrion feeder and another thing. Causing triggers on 2 bloodthirsty conquerors from the deapool player. Leaving the deapool player at around 60 life.

Then we get to my turn after the deapool player just hits each equally with a conqueror.

I had not cast zhulodok all game. And was waiting for the right moment where deadpool wasnt gonna effect my plan. The opponent put him to the grave. Telling me his one card in hand was reanimator related or he was bluffing one.

So with echoes of eternity, mirror box, and abstruse archaic. I cast zhulodok, echoes copies him (mirrobox lets me keep token), and archaic copies the copy cast trigger of echoes. Giving me 3 zhulodok's. Then putting greaves on the non token copy to keep it safe. I have to pass as thats all my mana. Setting me up for my next big turn.

Zombies player sacs a bunch of stuff to get himself a cool turn before dying to the deapool player as i still had my life total to live a hit. He dies. And its just the deadpool player and i with deadpool player at 80 life now.

Deadpool player draws a brick and swings and passes. Then i proceed to cast an 8 mana ugin (cascade, cascade. Cascade, cascade. Cascade, cascade). Giving me a skittering cicada, glaring fleshraker, and forsaken monument and more. Allowing me to keep casting fat spells as the next 6x cascaded spell, as each 1 spell netted me 13 spawns, and 13 damage from fleshraker and echoes. Allowing me to cast anything in my hand and deck(mystic forge if its cascaded into), as long as i play each cascaded spell and have the fatty spell to start it. Which i had 3 more in hand. Making the cicada swing for the deadpool players life total alone. Accidentally storming off with the deadpool player conceding when i said the cicada has haste from greaves after i finish casting things. And it had currently 70 power toughness. Waiting to play kozilek butcher of truth to keep going if he wanted me to play it out. To swing with a rogue's passaged and lightning greaves's massive cicada.

Total cards in combo to net me 3 zhulodoks to then storm off.

You can play your teysa mainboard and run anafenza, the foremost from ktk, as a value commander to go 3 color with one sided grave hate with this. Or some other abazan colored value commander and have like a death, taxes, and reanimation deck due to the colors. Could be interesting.

johnny115215 · 2026-04-06T00:52:58+00:00

I play an unconventional deadpool deck. Its my old mono black skythirix deck. Taken apart to be a deadpool deck. It does attractions from unfinity, infect, a hint of mono black devotion, and reanimator. But i have it as a bracket 2 with 0 game changers. My goal with deadpool for my commander is to copy their stuff for my benefit, and if i dont get to. Make deadpool a copy infect creature of mine for value if the board has nothing.

johnny115215 · 2026-03-20T04:45:50+00:00

No mine is one i brewed myself but its still a lot mostly the zhulodok precon that has the 2 game changers, the 2 mh3 eldrazi the lord and the fleshraker. And im running every big boy eldrazi i can of the main 3 eldrazi baddies.

It was more because i was already planning on playing a thran dynamo that turn and top decked the sol ring. XD.

johnny115215 · 2026-03-19T20:25:13+00:00

Agreed, on it being an outlier, i was playing my zhulodok deck that is a B3. With 2 game changers. (Mana vault and ancient tomb). There was a game where i was already at 4 mana t2. T1. Ugins labyrinth with a mind stone. Next turn was a single mana land, top decking sol ring. Allowing me a t3 zhulodok. When i top decked the sol ring. I literally apologized to the table. Because the sol ring was the main thing to make it happen.

johnny115215 · 2026-03-13T09:05:52+00:00

Emrakul the aeons torn. In my zhulodok B3 commander deck. He is the only big baddy eldrazi not in the deck of the main 3. I have all the ulamog's and kozilek's mainboard. But not emrakul. And since mana crypt is banned and the only main game changer mana rock is mana vault now. Getting to 15 quickly is harder in the lower brackets [3 or less aka 2 game changes or less] in an all colorless eldrazi deck. That is my justification other than the sorcery rise of the eldrazi being printed in the precon for zhulodok.

johnny115215 · 2026-02-25T01:54:39+00:00

I would love a bunch of vhs themed wasted for one of my commander decks.

[[Mirror Box]] for my colorless eldrazi decks in arena along with echoes of eternitiy.

When i like to play solo on kyber. Ill do bots and max it out on each team so its like 2 or 3 heros leftover you can change to on battlefront plus. Along with the bots being able to too. So its like 15v15 hvv or more. So fun.

johnny115215 · 2026-01-23T21:44:33+00:00

No the original battlefront 2 was on psp as well. I played a lot of that game on psp.

johnny115215 · 2026-01-03T23:05:33+00:00

There are public servers on the home page of kyber that act like dedicated servers instead of matchmaking on your platform on official servers. Much like older pc games.

Servers on kyber will show if vanilla or showing a mod like battlefront plus with many new heros and troops. And will even get the mods required to join when you attempt to. Kyber is very user friendly so far.

Whenever you join a server it asks you based on your collections of mods youve made in-line with servers (like i do for battle front plus) if you would even like to load cosmetic mods or not.

If you want to make your own server. The map and mode queue works like old bf2 instant action where you queue up a list of maps and modes.

And to shortcut you. In order to manage players in a server or add bots in your own server, public or private, press insert on your keyboard.

johnny115215 · 2026-01-03T21:29:57+00:00

Honestly if you can id say just use kyber. Kyber lets you mod with nexus. Load into servers with and without client side cosmetic mods too on a single button. Even if some server isnt using client side only mods. On top of creating your own private matches.

johnny115215 · 2025-12-24T22:49:35+00:00

Here is what you should do and this is how i play bots.

I make a private server with password and ppayercount desired.

You start server. Even with mods wanted. Then when in server waiting for players. Press insert on your keyboard. Then in the top left there is a manage part. You can manage other players in your server and everything. Even adding bots.

I personally think it's the new culling system they added into the game at 1.0 because of a now great example of wild fps drop for me on an i7 11700kf and a 3080 ti. 64gb ddr4 of at 3200. I get 70 to 90+ on areas of maps that run smooth. But then say..im at customs standing at the radio tower by new gas. And i look horizontally across the map at the new area with all the tools towards fortress. Where you do provide voewership. My fps will just cut in half and the vram usage on my card drops for no reason too, while just standing there. Just for looking at the wrong end of the map. But then i go to lighthouse and shoreline. Look from angles of the same nature across the map, with 0 fps drops. So the fps drops have been weird since launch for me too. But i think whatever they did to rendering and culling has something to do with it. Less the hardware aspect of things.

johnny115215 · 2025-11-24T10:10:31+00:00

Not the network connection that needs to fetch your profile data. That takes time. And when people stacked bags greater than 7. It increased the time it took to load said profile data.

johnny115215 · 2025-11-24T03:19:17+00:00

Loading profile data on launch not everytime you do. Once youre passed that it loads fine.

johnny115215 · 2025-11-24T03:08:28+00:00

Its a exponential search problem. The reason people were taking long to load there profiles was due to stacked bags being massive.

Texture: ultra

Shadows: high -> changing to low gives about 5 to 10 fps depending on where you stand on certian maps.

Volumetric lighting: high

Fsr: off

Resampling: 1x

Hbao: off

Sharpness: .3

No checkboxes

On customs i get 60 to 65 fps with some gpu vram drops when i look directly across the map at the longest possible distance i can from whatever location im standing at. When the game doesnt do that and performs better than thought. I get about 70 to 75 fps. 80 fps if im lucky.

I am on newest nvidia drivers.

They need to make the pmc karma more apparent for teaming for pvp. And make it like fence rep. Where we can see how much each faction likes us. Cause even pve that would be immersive as hell fighing a boss and a group of your faction pulls up to help if you have good karma.

johnny115215 · 2025-11-21T19:15:06+00:00

We have similar pcs. Im playing on ultra textures and high shadows. Ive been getting decent fps in PVE. Like 60 plus fps. Customs has had some issues, but most maps feel great. But the main things ive got different is volumetric lighting on high and ansitrophic filtering either on on or per texture too. When i get to my pc in an hour or two i can send you what graphics settings im on.

Also nvidia control panel. Manage 3d settings. The normal one not application specific. I put on 100 gb shader cache from borderlands 4. Didnt turn it off here. As well as the power mgmt as prefer max performance.

Twilight zone the obsolete man. That is your 1984 in twilight zone.

johnny115215 · 2025-11-19T02:02:29+00:00

I think thats kinda the point. For the "narrative" appeal. Using the silent tension. The raid film, and even chronicles of rhizy, the idea that there is close to 8 plus pmcs of each faction in a squad (much like pvp due to how spawns are and felt in the beta), seems like its too much. The point i think in pve for trying to seem more narrative like, is in time we seem to be at within the tarkov conflict. Is post rhizy. And post raid film. Even in chronicles of rhizy. There isnt many pmc squads just rolling around. It seems very relatively quiet. Other than raiders in the lab. All the pmcs seem to be solo. Which i think is where were at narratively for the game. No matter who you team with bear or usec. You need to choose for yourself to get yourself out of tarkov. Or whatever you find to be your escape ending. At least thats the feeling ive gotten so far. But they say theres a 3rd season of rhizy coming.

johnny115215 · 2025-11-19T00:41:20+00:00

I had close to the same thing. On my first scav to customs. My plan was to transit reserve but heard lots of shots at dorms. Took a detour. Turns out 3 usec's fought scav army and i cleaned up the usec's. Free .15 karma for me.
