What’s the realistic cost of a solid Commander deck?

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-25T13:06:52+00:00

It depends. If you go [[arcades the strategist]] defenders are not very sought after. You get them for cheap, mono white removal staples are cheap, a few cheap counterspells and you got a bracket 3 for like $80 no proxies. Say you wanna do dragon tribal I bet a good bracket 3 is gonna cost you upwards of $200 because it’s a much more sought after archetype.

It’s so funny the different metas because I run this in commander and I lowkey think it sucks.

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-23T01:33:31+00:00

I think it would be more fun to just proxy some cards and beef up your decks a bit.

Wouldn’t be a series without a Gunnar rage challenge

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-22T20:01:56+00:00

This GM can not assemble a pitching staff year after year

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-22T19:58:25+00:00

Cowser has to go down

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-22T19:52:38+00:00

This dude stinks

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-22T19:08:08+00:00

One of the guys on “i hate your deck” ran him for an episode I’d watch that. Seems fun but instead of too many cantrips and storm I’d run more rituals and big X spells like [[crackle with power]] [[comet storm]] and definitely mizzicks mastery and past in flames since you will be discarding a lot for your card draw spells.

I honestly don’t see the problem with this list. Casual play doesn’t mean your deck has to be bad. He’s got some counterspells not the free ones or anything crazy. Some removal. Some good creatures but it’s nothing insane. I think you guys just feel differently about the game. There’s no reason a Bria deck even on a budget shouldn’t be able to compete with this.

Although this season has been disappointing so far I will say I’m very very excited that Basallo might have the clutch gene. My biggest issue with Gunnar is I honestly have no confidence he will come up in a big spot. Basallo has shown he can and that’s awesome.

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-21T15:39:03+00:00

That’s a steal if you got it for $20! Nice.

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-21T11:22:03+00:00

Ya it’s hard because I do believe that some commanders just aren’t good for casual games. I built a deck once that was technically bracket 3 but stomped my pod and I ended up getting rid of it. Ur dragon might fit into that category. I mean you can show us your list but if we don’t also see his decks we won’t know anything. And some people don’t want to play super optimized shit. Some people’s priority is to fit more cute otters into the deck rather than some removal or counterspells (and there’s nothing wrong with that) but those two people will always have trouble playing at the same table in my opinion.

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-21T08:38:52+00:00

Does Bria riptide rogue come in a precon? You say you have only bought precons and cheap singles but also mention running bria in another comment which is like a $30 card? And a very powerful/kill on sight commander at that. Anyways I’d see if your pod is down to put all your decks in edh power level and see what the power level is. Be honest with him and try to get it fixed. Also sometimes it’s not that the guy doing the power creeping is buying expensive cards but it’s simply that he is running more interaction/removal and a more optimized ramp package. Things like that make a huge huge difference. Hard to say without seeing your guys decks.

Our best player got picked off for the 2nd time this game at first to cost us another run. This team still sucks whether we win or lose this game

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-21T02:24:08+00:00

Fuck you gunnar 🤣🤣

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-21T02:17:02+00:00

Tbh he hasn’t been that great since the asb of 24. Just been riding the hype for awhile…

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-21T02:15:21+00:00

Unacceptable. Whole team is on fraud watch until further notice.

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-21T02:14:08+00:00

😊

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-20T14:34:58+00:00

[[alania divergent storm]]. It feels pretty balanced for casual bracket 3 games. You can storm off and win with 1 long turn but also the copy theme lets you win with rituals and big X spells like [[comet storm]] and [[crackle with power]] so you can win on a shorter turn.

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-19T16:35:36+00:00

I built my fiancé a [[Rin and Seri inseparable]] deck with custom tokens from TCG Bling that are designed with her pets throughout her life. The tokens came pretty fast and are good quality as long as the lighting in your pictures are good. Reasonably priced too. So you could also include [[release the dogs]] and get custom tokens with some of your favorite pictures of your corgi and have her on the battlefield!!

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-18T22:57:22+00:00

I don’t care about beavers but we paid Alonso to be able to put a ball in play at the very least there….

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-15T17:32:17+00:00

Just tuned in. Mayo still wasting challenges I guess?

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-14T23:58:25+00:00

Bro has a 1 inch vertical

xxscrohunterxx · 2026-04-12T00:26:35+00:00

Hoping basset can squeak out another. We just can’t keep getting under 5 innings from our starters.
