RiotRunner789 on When does Bracket 4 move …
1 month ago
Played a game recently with a player known to play absurd decks. I was playing Auntie Ool, Cursewretch modified precon which I would consider bracket 2. Another player was playing Kastral, the Windcrested with a Tempest Hawk theme (also would consider a bracket 2, maybe even 1). No idea what 3rd player played because we didn't get very far (mono white maybe?).
The issue was the 4th player who played his "strong bracket 3" Zhulodok, Void Gorger. Having played him and the deck before, I knew the match wasn't going to be fun but despite the pre-game conversation, he said he was playing bracket 3 (different but aggravating issue).
On turn 3, he played Scorched Ruins which let him cast his commander (Zhulodok, Void Gorger). I convinced one player to blow up his only land to slow him down (Generous Gift). I blew up a land un-tapping artifact with Putrefy. So, he went into turn 4 with no lands. He only had a 3/3 token and his commander.
He dropped an Ancient Tomb, some ramp piece and played Bygone Colossus, which led into Void Winnower and several other cards including Excalibur, Sword of Eden dropping that turn (not in that exact order). He swung for 17 commander damage that turn. He effectively locked myself and the bird player out of the game with winnower. Turn 5 he drops ~20 permanents, including Darksteel Monolith and Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter. He was then able to tutor All is Dust. We all scooped when he cast the board wipe at instant speed before his turn.
This is what leads into my question. When he was exploding on turn 4 and 5, I asked, "How is this not competitive?" To which he replied while obviously annoyed, "Someone would have won by turn 3 already." Has the competitive meta changed so much, that any win post turn 3 isn't cEDH? His build, to me, came off as bracket 5 since it was insanely resilient. Where is the line between bracket 4 and 5?

I Know You Are,
Sorcery
Target creature an opponent controls becomes a copy of target creature you control and target creature you control becomes a copy of target creature an opponent controls. These events happen simultaneously.
but what am I?
Aside for the pun, the benefit of forcing identity changes is that each player maintains control of their own permanents. No "return to owner" nonsense involved.
Also, you can go after two different opponents. Make the commander of one become a 1/1 token, and make your 1/1 token become the powerhouse of someone else's.
Arguably this works better under Silverquill with their Inklings and text change, but based on color theory this is a Simic mechanic.
Although I suppose Silverquill / Orzhov could still benefit from a nice switcheroo card so take your pick:

NCRxRanger thanks, any questions please feel free. It’s my favourite deck and I’m in the process of foiling it out( exc lands ). Controversially I think they’ve done some good exploring and learning what worked and what doesn’t work for the werewolf transform mechanic, Night/Day gives you more agency because it’s active player casting or not castinh spells triggers a flip. From playing with a list prior to Tovolar it really sucks doing nothing on your turn then someone casts one spell to fuck over uour transforms at end step : -) Not perfect but that’s why the deck has a lot of activated abilities to give you alternatives to just “play lots of spells per turn”

Thanks for the suggestions shivanlord. More than half of the deck is either lands, mana rocks or ramp spells so I think I'm good on the mana dorks, for now at least. I haven't gotten to play test this much yet. I really like the Cascading Cataracts suggestion though and am adding it in. Cheers!!!

If a nonbasic land would enter under an opponent's control, it enters tapped unless that player reveals a basic land card from their hand.

Turn all your opponent's nonbasics into Snarls. Truly a prank for the ages.
Another prank style card, Strixhaven or otherwise.

Man, I've been playing since Return to Ravnica came out, and I fell in love with Werewolves instantly. I had my Boros deck as my main deck, but I always had my Werewolves on backup. Now that I've been playing commander exclusively, I figured I'd try to make an EDH Werewolves deck. But oh my god has this been so difficult. And that was before I knew that transform forcers like Moonmist don't work on the new breed. Honestly, Wizards really screwed the pooch (pun intended) with werewolves. But reading through your guide has given me some hope. I'm looking forward to playtesting this with my group. Thanks for all your hard work!

Ruxa, Summerschool Mentor
Legendary Creature - Bear Druid
Whenever a nontoken creature with no abilities enters under your control, you may put X+1/+1 counters on it and gain X life, where X is its power.
Whenever a creature with no abilities you control becomes the target of a spell or ability, Ruxa deals damage equal to that creature's power to target player and you draw a card.
4/5
Let's see a little more Strixhaven, but not necessarily a pfofessor.

From your Maybeboard, to finish up the deck with the last two slots, I highly recommend Priest of Titania and either Marwyn, the Nurturer or Craterhoof Behemoth, depending on what you have.

capwner That's an interesting one. Need to see how well the deck can support Contamination. I like it, but that might be a side board option. Black doesn't look super popular in the meta lists (not that I'm trying for meta, I'm just messing around), so definitely will have its place.
I'll also take a look at the ramp enchantments. Enchantress's Presence is pure gold here. Still testing and tweaking.
capwner on Shielded

Looks like it's coming together well! I was thinking about this deck earlier, I was wondering if Contamination might work somehow to provide another lock. Maybe paired with another enchantment that can make dudes such as Squirrel Nest? I would also try to go up on Enchantress's Presence that card is gas for you and maybe some Wild Growth/Fertile Ground to round it out?
EDIT - isn't contamination already just really sweet with Umbilicus for the same reasons as solitary? lol

I just revamped my own version of Auntie! She's so awesome. I turned mine mostly into a wither punch deck. Some excellent cards I added into mine were Boggart Ram-Gang, Stigma Lasher, Banewhip Punisher, and Hapatra's Mark.
It's interesting to see you added quite a few cards that give +1/+1 counters. I assume that's just to offset the -1/-1 counters. I went the opposite route and added cards that were counter sinks to soak up the blight damage - most of them can get rid of their own counters too. Witherscale Wurm is a pet card of mine. And Bristlebane Battler gets rid of her counters easy if you skew the average CMC of the deck with a few more 1 and 2 drops.
If you're interested in my build it's here Not Your Auntie's Goblin Stew

Personally I suggest hard counters like counterspell over conditional ones like spell stutter just on the premise that they will work no matter the board state. Otherwise I don't really have anything to add.

Nontoken creatures you control have Mentor.
Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to an opponent, you may remove up to one counter from it. If you do, place a counter of the kind removed on target creature that opponent controls. Then tap that creature and goad it.
2/3
Create another Strixhaven instructor, repeat on Lorehold or Silverquill if you'd like.

Whenever a chapter ability of a Saga you control triggers, you may create a 1/1 white Student creature token.
At the beginning of your endstep, if you control 3 or more Students you may return target Saga from your graveyard to your hand. If you control 6 or more Students, return that card to the battlefield instead.

Plan is to ramp into big pinging dragons using cost lowering or treasure tokens then generate token dragons
Finisher is infinite dragons with astral/ rite of replication with one of the pingers out or infinite combat with agg assault and treasure generators (ancient copper/reaver cleaver)
Might put a sword of feast and famine in aswell

@capwner that’s what a figured, just wanted to double check. It’s a great suggestion, but I went with the old school border for aesthetics. I’ll do some playtesting and see how many I want to add and what to replace. Thanks!
capwner on A Means to an End

Yes that is correct, in fact it gets better because Death's Shadow's characteristic defining ability will amend its p/t as you pay the life so generally it will not die to Toxic Deluge even if you already had your shadow in play.

@capwner refresh my memory: the spell only affects creatures currently in play at the time it resolves, correct? So by casting a Death's Shadow afterward (should the mana be available), I wouldn’t kneecap my own creature?

Love it Balaam! Very elegant way of extirpating basics that fits nicely in a jund-y shell. Might I recommend Toxic Deluge, both for your shadow and for possibly MLDing the opponent when you're ahead on board?
