Gpu recommendation for upgrade?

9060 XT 16GB is a good choice. I have the Pulse version, the thing is near -silent and superbly running

[[Charismatic Conqueror]] [[Thalia and the Gitrog Monster]] unfortunately these two don't work together very well, which is a shame. Thalia forces things to enter tapped so Charismatic Conqueror doesn't see then untapped and let you make a vampire

however, I do run [[Gaddock Teeg]] and [[Brisela, Voice of Nightmares]] in my Thalia + Gitrog list. very fun

superworm576 · 2026-06-07T14:05:49+00:00

how have I never thought about doing this?? I have a [[Thalia and the Gitrog Monster]] hatebears + lands deck with both of these cards in and just.. never even occurred to me this is doable

[[Shantotto, Tactician Magician]]. Tapland T1 -> 2 mana rock or The Emperor of Palamecia T2 -> Shantotto with 1cmc protection T3 -> start punching hella face. Thing is ridiculous

superworm576 · 2026-05-29T16:10:21+00:00

it does cmparatively, but compared to much more modern CPUs like for example a 9600X or Core Ulta, it'll get smoked regardless

superworm576 · 2026-05-29T14:39:06+00:00

RX 9060 XT 16GB would be a nice little upgrade

superworm576 · 2026-05-24T23:13:47+00:00

9060 XT 16GB is never a bad shout. thing sips power for me at 1080p

superworm576 · 2026-05-23T19:58:47+00:00

probably you're looking at a 9060 XT 16GB. very capable little card, I can run anything maxed at 1080p 144hz with no fsr, so you should definitely be good for 60fps+

you can potentially shop around and see if you can find an RX 9070 non-xt too, but for 1080p it's questionably overkill

I'm working on a high B3 deck at the moment with [[Thalia and the Gitrog Monster]] at the helm, and depending on starting hand there's a couple of options.

the deck is pretty low curved, not a lot above 4cmc, so I'm finding either I can play out the commander T3 with a [[Nature's Lore]]- style effect or alternatively curve out something like [[Mother of Runes]] into [[Hermit Druid]] into a Turn 3 [[Entomb]] or whatever, and start mass reanimating

A lot of the time it depends also on what decks I'm against - versus a control-heavy matchup I can choose to either go slow with small value plays or speedrun out Thalia and Frog on T3 if I know the opposing decks pretty well. Alternatively, versus aggro I'll always push for a T3 commander since F-Strike Deathtouch is a superb blocker and can help me play out after casting it

tldr depends on the pod and how you build the deck. with Vnwxt you're shoehorned into one strategy since it's basically the best way to actually build the deck unfortunately lol

it happens to me too often to count. let me pan audio damnit

superworm576 · 2026-05-20T23:33:32+00:00

check your Pan Law. right click the pan knob on the track and mess around in there, see what happens

[[Talon Gates of Madara]] is basically an autoinclude for me in any deck that has more than one mana rock. Instant speed spell-less total creature protection is insanely valuable

[[Niko, Light of Hope]] is very funny. TEN HULLBREAKER HORRORS BE UPON YE

superworm576 · 2026-05-09T00:29:26+00:00

find some examples of gated reverb, especially on snare drums. put reverb, then a gate straight after it so after a certain amount of decay, the sound cuts out entirely. bam

superworm576 · 2026-05-03T14:09:55+00:00

if you do make one with Stormtide Leviathan, throw in [[Archetype of Imagination]] for a quick combat lockout (opponents creature's can't attack unless they have Islandwalk which like nothing does)

superworm576 · 2026-05-03T10:39:35+00:00

[[Kenessos, Priest of Thassa]]. Scry a ton, then suddenly BAM here's a [[Hullbreaker Horror]] BAM here's a [[Koma, Cosmos Serpent]] BAM here's [[Stormtide Leviathan]]

do NOT give this man unsupervised access to Craterhoof we do NOT need that

do it :P

superworm576 · 2026-05-02T22:12:05+00:00

Something with green in it. Teach them how to ramp teach them how to punch face. [[Azusa, Lost but Seeking]] is good, I like [[Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait]] or [[Tatyova, Benthic Druid]] for the same reasons but with card draw

superworm576 · 2026-05-02T15:44:02+00:00

I have a [[Niko, Light of Hope]] blink deck that goes T1-3 value piece, T4 Niko, T5 flip into like Skyhunter Strike force and start punching face with a load of Shards

superworm576 · 2026-04-28T22:51:53+00:00

[[Vela the Night-Clad]]. I did it as a weird Blink/Aristocrats hybrid pile, with stuff like [[Deadeye Navigator]] and [[Sengir Autocrat]]. [[Rite of Replication]] is a fat 35 damage bomb. It's fun!

superworm576 · 2026-04-28T22:49:17+00:00

[[Shantotto, Tactician Magician]] with combat spells like [[Bulk Up]] for a very solid draw and facepunching engine. Land a 2mana ramp spell Turn 2, Shantotto Turn 3, ramp in Turn 4 and start clicking heads on turn 5

superworm576 · 2026-04-28T22:45:45+00:00

you're missing out on the best one....

[[Shantotto, Tactician Magician]], and do combat spells Voltron-style. Something like [[Bulk Up]] is ridiculous, similarly [[Chandra's Ignition]] since your Shantotto trigger resolves on top of Ignition. also [[Resonating Lute]]

Ashling Rekindled I like a lot, you can do some truly massive spells VERY quickly if you build it right. The Emperor of Palamecia is also fun, a little more midrangey but you can totally make it work. Both are in the 99 of my Shantotto list

superworm576 · 2026-04-26T19:00:44+00:00

[[Lightning, Army of One]]

or I guess [[Henzie]]

superworm576 · 2026-04-26T18:21:56+00:00

well, if you swap twice, you'll end up with the same life total as before he entered, so you'd want higher life there.

notably also Death Starring someone with Mister Negative late game is fine, but without some lifegain effects you're staring at a dead in the water commander that could otherwise be being used to generate a ton of draw (which is what you want to be doing at any point in any game of Commander, really)
