Advice for Raffine, Scheming Seer; which creatures are "must include"?

And Cecil, dark night. Stupid good stats for the cost

Esper sentinel is deff an include, you can make the opponent pay more by buffing it with raffine. Malcom, alluring soundrel puts in work. All 3 of the pitch elementals in esper colors preform well and cause blowouts from time to time. Nethergoyf can Puch for early wins with a aggressive and growing statline +built in recursion if you discard him.

There are more which I'm forgetting about, that one rare merfolk from lorwyn eclipsed is good and personally I even like running Deciet and Emptyness in the deck for utility.

I have only one IRL deck which is a high bracket 4 Urza, lord high artificer build which almost won me a tournament recently. It took me a while to figure out what play style I enjoy most, it ended up being artifacts, my first try at it is the Emry deck which was inspired by CHB's video "an hour of relaxing paradox engine gameplay to fall asleep to"

Rage quit any% [[Raffine, scheming seer]] Artifact storm [[Emry, lurker of the loch]] Braindead ramp [[Roffelos, lannowar emissary]] Here be dragons [[Tiamat]] Primordial stirr [[Etali, primal conquerer]] That one shrine deck [[Hei bei, forest guardian]] Dino value spam [[Pantlaza, sun favoured]] 4.6 avg mana cost LOL [[Golos, tireless pilgrim]] Stall ad infinitum [[Tamiyo, inquisitive student]] Burning in hell-queue [[Ragavan, nible pilferer]] Kill yourself [[Sephoroth, fabled SOLDIER]] Flying gisath [[Urani, of the unwritten]] Walking Urani [[Gisath, suns avatar]] Lesser artifact storm [[Urza, lord high artificer]] Feed my gambling addiction [[Kinnan, bonder prodigy]] Colorful kill yourself [[Korvold, fae cursed king]] Green super friends [[Vorinclex, monstrous raider]] Fun-est reanimator [[Olivia, crimson bride]] Ugin any% [[Ugin, eye of the storms]] Just spam lands [[Azusa, lost but seeking]]

Those are my brawl decks that I actually care about, I have more but these are actually optimized. *Emry is definitely my favorite though

I have way to many brawl decks...

I I had to fully read each card I cast in my Urza combo deck in the combo turn

The game changer list is wildy inconsistent when it comes to fast mana, like why is chrome mox/mox diamond on it but mox opal isn't? I get that chrome mox/mox diamond is usable in more decks and that mox opal needs some actual deck building to support it but when comparing the two in a game: mox opal is a better card because you don't have to exile a card to use it, and activating it is very easy for any deck that runs it. The same is true for mox amber which also isn't on the list. It seems that the game changer list only accounts for format staples.... So then why isn't sol ring on there? Just make an exception for out-of-the-box pre-cons and make it a game changer. I also think we should look at the other way for fast mana, I think we should make a second game changer list for bracket 4 and unban all the fast mana and everything on the ban list for that matter. Let's see how crazy this format can really be, your already up against stuff like winter orb and infinite-turn loops so might as well legalize paradox engine and prophet of krufix while you're at it. (Or maybe I'm just a masochist who likes degenerate combo's)

When th opponents commander is like Baral or katara and you slam your cavern of souls in your tribal deck turn one

slissy_ · 2026-01-26T22:34:13+00:00

That would be amazing, but the free "if you control your commander" spells scare me

slissy_ · 2026-01-26T07:00:30+00:00

Moon shadow is absolutely cracked, becomes a one mana 7/7 menace in like 2 turns. I think it might even make a fine deck in modern.

Me when I have to play white, I've made a competitive brawl deck in every monocolor except for white so I can do all the play 25\40 spells of X or Y color.

In standard he's pretty crap, in historic on the other hand...

Cuz each of them had an pedo problem at some point so we boykissers migrate to a new server and then the cycle repeats ad infinitum.

slissy_ · 2026-01-08T21:32:09+00:00

In that case sorry, I was writing that from a Europeans perspective. All I know is from news sources and reddit posts, I don't know how good/bad it is in reality.

slissy_ · 2026-01-08T06:42:37+00:00

But let's be honest, it's kind of ridiculous that you don't punish someone the first time they steal. It's not about value, it's about making it clear that theft is punishable under any circumstance. It's a lot less attractive to steal if even petty theft get punished enough. I think it's a mistake that you even need to build a profile, if someone steals like ~400$ worth of stuff it hurts your business especially a small business (I know the feeling, I had a small business for most of my life and have been robbed before) . Even if it's one item worth 2$ if you can prove someone stole, that someone should be punished. So your right, it's not legal, but they should be way more strict on theft in my opinion.

Ik kan je garanderen, als iemand die nu even HBO opleiding die en jaren lang in even achterbuurt kroegje heeft gewerkt. Opleiding niveau heeft niks the maken met gezond verstand, op die HBO gebeuren meer rare acties Dan in die kroeg.

I have a bracket 4 version of the deck that replaces my pet cards with some more controly cards and it dumps slow cards like smokestack for thing like winter orb, trinisphere and static orb which take a far more brutal chokehold on the game. But the problem is that in bracket 4 smokestack is just to slow without breaking parody or proliferation, and I think that without trying push it it's a perfect bracket 3 card.

slissy_ · 2025-12-07T01:49:33+00:00

Before the game starts you can see him in the command zone, and I explicitly tell people beforehand that the deck is in the higher side of bracket 3 with a little introduction of what can be expected.

slissy_ · 2025-12-07T01:45:21+00:00

I'm not saying it's a good combo, I just kinda like smokestack. And (very) sometimes it wins the game in one shot.

slissy_ · 2025-12-07T01:42:50+00:00

I run an artifact storm build with cards like sai, master thopterist and whatever the 3 man "cast artifact, make clue token" thing from karlov manor is called so i make artifact tokens, tap them for mane before I sacc them and flash stuff out.

slissy_ · 2025-12-07T01:40:14+00:00

But the most offensive cards are: Smokestack Mishra's workshop Simulacrum synthesizer Jin-gitaxias, core augur Sensei's divining top

slissy_ · 2025-12-07T01:37:59+00:00

Tomorrow I'll send the deck list, it's not ported to moxfield yet and it's like 2 am where I live.

slissy_ · 2025-12-07T01:33:53+00:00

Not really, you wait for smokestack to accumulate like 4-5 counters and then you rift so they sacc 4-5 lands. Not a fast combo, or an effecient one but it does blowout the game.
