FormOverFunction on Running out of epithets

One of my first commander decks was a natural disaster deck, built back in 2013-ish. As I searched and watched for more natural disasters I started noticing this same phenomenon (though I hadn’t really seen the creature aspect you’re pointing out). It was clear that they were starting to struggle a little with new variants of natural disasters, and I figure that’s why there have been so few in the years since. I’ve referred to this situation in prior posts, complaining that everything is more tied to set plots (“Jace’s Backflip” and “Ajani’s Powerful Swing From Page 14 Of The Book”) because they’ve been making SO MANY cards in 30 years. It’s a serious challenge that is, honestly, a good problem to have.

Swapped four cards. Two with the goal of improving graveyard recall (of which there was previously none).

Oh hi there, Mortlocke, thanks for checking out the deck! I haven't been able to focus my attention on commander in a hot second; apologies for the late response.

I was a little bemused by your comment when I first read it because I wasn't aware of the website you referenced. After checking it out, I'm a bit disappointed in how the website explains the bracket system and gamechangers.

The website seems great as a quick overview of commander, but I wish there was a bit more nuance to prevent misunderstandings like this.

There's a serious lack of clarification differentiating between the actual rules and restrictions for the format, and guidance meant to support finding a similar power level when playing with strangers.

For some context, I put together this list well before the bracket system was announced by WoTC. The intent has always been for this list to fit into what my playgroup would describe as a 'mid-power' play experience, which is now officially conceptualized as 'bracket 3'. When the bracket system was introduced, and during official statements made by the Commander Format Panel, there has always been an emphasis of:

1. The bracket system is not a definitive set of rules that must be abided by; it's tool to guide rule zero conversations.

2. The importance of deckbuilding intent and playstyle when determining how to group decks by bracket.

Additionally, this build did also meet the gamechanger suggestion for bracket 3 initially, but after a few revisions to the gamechanger list, a lot of cards have moved off and also added on to it. The bracket system is in beta, is not-yet definitive, and cards will likely continue to rotate on and off of the gamechanger list. So, I'm not going to micromanage what cards in my list are considered gamechangers at this time. Especially when again, for all intents and purposes, this decklist functions as a bracket 3 deck.

As an aside, this is my in-paper Anikthea deck, minus the Serra's SanctumGC; as that card is much more than I'd like to spend on any individual magic card. I only have it in this list since I also use this decklist for online play with friends. Without that one land, this deck falls back to 3 Game Changers; which is likely how most people would probably build/play this list in-paper anyways.

Thanks again for checking out the list though, I'll make sure to give yours a look as well!

Looking through Reality Fracture and immediately settled on Koth, the Geomancer going on. Did I miss any others?

Blue creatures you control can’t be blocked this turn.

All damage that would be dealt to you or creatures you control is reduced to 0 this turn.

PrismariPete: The facebook thing is actually due to an issue on facebook's end. It really should be clarified/removed on our end though.

Use the contact form on the bottom of the site detailing your issue and in it also mention the email associated with the facebook account that was paired with that account.

(I'm now noticing that the contact form should have the request to use facebook login removed as well, but that's a minor thing.)

I'd cut Scroll of Avacyn, might be a good idea to run Chromatic Lantern! Oh and you can technically run both Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth/Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth for extra fixing. Folk hero seems rough since your commander is 5 mana so at best it provides 1 card a turn starting turn 6? I'd cut it. Similarly, Chronicle of Victory feels like too much mana with all these big angels, at best you slap it down and it buffs like 1-2 angels... Archangel Elspeth can also go, she doesn't actually do a ton, since all your dudes are already angels that fly! could also include Abundant Countryside, Cavern of Souls, City of Brass, Prismatic Vista, Fabled Passage, Grand Coliseum

You might have to drop the protection pieces Lightning Greaves/Rebuff the Wicked, your commander doesn't actually seem too scary and they won't be any good if you're stuck with big angels in hand. a final cut may need to be sword of the animist because you have a high curve... so how quickly can you really attach it and get value?
