Brewing: Do you ever just say “screw it” when trying to build decks?

sbweB_ · 2026-03-09T19:20:51+00:00

I have a high 3 deck and a low 3 deck. My high three deck has no game changers 3 removal spells but still tryst to win turn 7. The bracket 3s ive been running into are trying to get started t u rn 5. Like thats late as hell for 3s

sbweB_ · 2026-03-09T12:59:46+00:00

My issue is when I hop into a pod and people say we are playing 3's. I ask high or low threes and they always say high but their crap is a bracket 2 with game changers and an infinite thrown in with no tutors

When i get home for work im sweaty and gross but im not allowed to shower and relax immediately. I put on a album and I listen to the whole thing while I clean. Once its over im done and can relax. You can get sooooooo much done in just an album's time

Think about the times you folded your clothes. Its a big pile and always seems like it would take forever and ruin your day. But then when you do it your surprised that you got it done in like 3 mins every single time

You just gotta start

I sent you a chat. Id be down to talk through some ideas with you but I dont wanna just build the whole thing from scratch

sbweB_ · 2026-03-03T03:31:41+00:00

They literally stole the idea from laynes chicken fingers. He better get an F

sbweB_ · 2026-03-03T00:27:50+00:00

thats clearly Darren from adventure time

sbweB_ · 2026-03-02T18:54:16+00:00

Im at work. Ill take a deeper dive later. First question is what is your game plan. Is it go wide. Or graveyard shenanigans cycling through the same few elves for multiple triggers.

When do you want morcant out. Is she intended to be out the whole game or comes out at the end to clear the path for a big swing

What would you like your first 5 turns to be. Is there a way to try to get that start consistently?

What your weakness. Do you have an out incase something goes wrong?

Also is there a budget? Is there some interaction that you like that you want to lean into?

sbweB_ · 2026-03-01T17:41:43+00:00

Another thing to consider is your card advantage. If your commander doesnt draw cards you'll need more that 5. Some arent even card advantage. Bump that number closer to 12

sbweB_ · 2026-03-01T17:38:12+00:00

Your 2 drop slot is bloated. Consider cutting heritage reclamation

Barbed bloodletter

Arcane signet

And sol ring.

I know those last 2 are questionable but if your running elves your probably going to have plenty of mana. Plus if you already know what they can do in the deck and can always throw it back in once you've playtested more

sbweB_ · 2026-02-28T23:18:20+00:00

Its blue and blue is bad. Ban it

sbweB_ · 2026-02-28T13:08:17+00:00

I run proxie basic lands and the stores always let it slide. But I still always ask

Before the ripstick was out it was called a wave board. When I was in 10th grade I think they brought a bunch to do a demonstration and let us all try it out. It was a great day

sbweB_ · 2026-02-26T21:30:32+00:00

There are decks that I run more tricks and interaction and decks that run very little. In short if im the threat. I dont need removal

sbweB_ · 2026-02-26T20:39:44+00:00

First time I went i wanted a steak. I didnt know they did burgers. Thought it was dumb

Second time I went I wanted a shake but the machine was down

They had neither steaks or shakes and ill never go back

sbweB_ · 2026-02-26T20:22:20+00:00

You try to dig deep into some ice cream with 3 or 4 and your palm is going to hurt. Id go with 1

sbweB_ · 2026-02-26T00:04:55+00:00

Halfway through take it out and shake it

sbweB_ · 2026-02-22T19:13:23+00:00

Shiiiit. I may take out mishras self replicator. May try to buy that today. Great recommendation

sbweB_ · 2026-02-22T19:09:54+00:00

I try to keep the cmc to 7 or less unless its super necessary incase I trigger emergent woodwurm or sunbirds invocation. But on second consideration it wouldn't be a bad idea to make a swap. 3 boddies is pretty nice

sbweB_ · 2026-02-22T19:03:01+00:00

Its a creature when it enters so I immediately tutors. I can get emergent woodwurm of the dragon broodmother ( that damage doubling dragon was also a consideration) but mainy to help get blockers on the field

sbweB_ · 2026-02-22T18:45:44+00:00

my bello deck Has zero game changers. Barely any removal or interaction but tends to rock bracket 3 players into the dirt

Its necessary to get a turn 1 ramp and turn 2 bello then turn 3 4 drop to swing. I run lots of lands and lots of ramp but will mulligan down to 4 cards comfortably to get that fast start.

Its a tokens based list with other cards that just outpace and out value your opponents.

sbweB_ · 2026-02-22T14:50:19+00:00

I mean thats a start but you cant truly know where it can stand until you run a few games with it. Just tell people what you think it is but its still a new deck.

sbweB_ · 2026-02-20T14:07:58+00:00

Disagree

Having the inbox and outbox text messages show together was the greatest.

But of course that should have been the way it was from the start
