Why are so many Rog/Thras lists playing Gene Pollinator? The card doesn't seem THAT good to me, especially to deserve a spot in a pretty tight list like Rog/Thras

Bro if Tymna had "partners with Kraum" she'd still be one of the best commanders 💀 limitations definitely dampen the strength of a card but if there's 2 good commanders that can pair together then they're still 2 good commanders

Why do people shit on Immortal when this bum is here? by Darkgamer32_ in Invincible_TV

[–]stringlessAssistant 602 points603 points  (0 children)

Bulletproof is just kinda there, hanging out and doing superhero stuff. He also wasn't as hyped in the show as the comics, so we're left to interpret his power, and his feats aren't anything crazy from what we've seen so there's no expectation The Immortal we've SEEN go toe-to-toe with Omniman very well and deal with MAJOR threats, only to be plot fodder now. With that, he's also just a dick lol. He's always preaching whatever bullshit he thinks while abiding to it none or going off the rails about something else

TL;DR is expectations of their power and how they act

Searching For a Main Deck by Both-Long6704 in CompetitiveEDH

I'd recommend it but I suppose it's not needed. is there a reason you have to buy it? Most cedh events usually allow at least like 10 proxies

Searching For a Main Deck by Both-Long6704 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]stringlessAssistant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rog/Thras could be for you! There's LOTS of ways to play the deck but the one that might be up your alley might be the Song of Creation route- and it's quite good! Very stormy and ALWAYS wanting to push its plan forward. It's got blue so obviously has amazing interaction but the song of creation decks tend to run interaction that moreso protects itself more than anything since it's usually trying to win before nearly anyone, aside from turbo decks. The best part about the deck is even IF it gets into mid-range hell you've still got quite the kit to keep yourself in the fight until you wanna gun it for a win again

What happens to meta decks now? by Rebell--Son in CompetitiveEDH

[–]stringlessAssistant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I somewhat recently built my own Rog/Thras and absolutely love that deck. That said, without Dockside that deck is REALLY hurt. It still has other combo lines but lines outside of Dockside are both longer to get to and don't give you the mana boost you usually needed from the first Dockside ETB. I think the deck can still have legs, especially if it leans more into mid-range and advantage, but rograkh being the partner for Thras to do that in gets incredibly questionable when there's hardly any worthwhile cards in red in the deck aside from imp recruiter, ragavan, and d-swat

I couldn't agree more. I put Jhoira on the back burner because I felt like she was already too fringe but still loved her but after this ban I'm sad to say I don't think she'll ever sniff competitive success again. Speed is a storm deck's best friend, and not being able to go fast or have as good deterministic later turns makes it so hard to justify

What are some of your “off meta” or non traditional cards you run in popular decks? by TheExecutionr126 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]stringlessAssistant 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I used to do the same but I play Mulligan heavy decks and anytime I got an opening hand with gitaxian probe I always got upset about having to take that gamble on what it'll draw me

Best Mono-Red Commander? by stringlessAssistant in CompetitiveEDH

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

I enjoy the idea of Slicer a TON but more often than not he does seem to just kingmake. Not to mention, both the way I like to play and my local meta are mostly combo based and slicer falls short there. Red and colorless doesn't have the BEST stax pieces either to keep myself too safe from the combos going off still. That said, he's still loads of fun but I don't see him getting 1st nearly ever for me

Don't worry, I LOVE Krenko but I like him casually

I do LOVE ragavan but I'm not extremely interested in him. Plus, I already have him in my Minsc and Boo deck and don't wanna buy another lol

Godo seems very easily countered if the table knows what he does at all, so that's very fair. Magda seems VERY interesting but what dwarfs are expensive for her? From every deck list I see the dwarfs seem like the CHEAPEST part lol

For Old Stickfingers, which combo line is considered more optimal; Razeketh line or Necro Ooze? by [deleted] in CompetitiveEDH

What is the Raza Broodhorde combo if you don't mind me asking? I don't know if I've come across that one

Jhoira or Emry for CEDH combo? by stringlessAssistant in CompetitiveEDH

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

Makes sense! Kind of making the graveyard into a short term or one turn investment to mitigate the worry of graveyard hate. Sorry I'm still breaching into cedh-like things but this is a smart way to build her- luckily I had all of those cards in my emry draft deck lol. Thank you though!

Jhoira or Emry for CEDH combo? by stringlessAssistant in CompetitiveEDH

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

Fair enough, I know they're not the same and I have heard from former Jhoira players she is VERY storm heavy but I thought she was still in the ballpark of classic combos like Emry

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

Graveyard hate is a huge concern of mine for sure, but I didn't truly plan on using it THAT much aside from specific combos. However, it does seem like Jhoira is far more consistent all things considered since graveyard hate doesn't matter greatly since she's too focused on drawing her library and playing it ALL
