legendofa on Beta Brackets Update Today

1 month ago

TheoryCrafter I can see a Bracket 6 that basically acts as the banlist/anything goes area, but some of the stuff on the banlist makes Dockside Extortionist and Jeweled Lotus look like Strike it Rich and Chromatic Star. Even in the rarefied airs of Bracket 5, what would happen?

Usual disclaimer that I don't cEDH at all, but something like Oloro + Lotus + Lurrus (even in the 99--tutors ahoy!), or Temur Tolarian Moxen 'n' Treasures into copy-spammed Tinker and Upheaval with a side of Fastbond, sounds eye-rendingly miserable to my Bracket-3-or-less-dwelling carcass.

Okay, looks like some of my questions got almost answered.

https://mtginsider.com/mtg-commander-power-bracket/

This has a link to an hour-long video I don't have the time and focus for right now, but to summarize the summary:

Not every card will be bracketed. Some cards, like Thassa's Oracle and friends, will be bracketed based on their combo power instead of face value strength. Other cards will be bracketed based on "fun-ness". Stax, prison, MLD, and similar effects will probably be in bracket 3-4. Your deck's power level is equal to the highest individual card power level. Unbanning cards is possible, but not yet confirmed. No further cards are expected to be banned.

Moving into personal opinion, cards I'd like to see unbanned that I don't think will break anything too much:

• Biorhythm (alternate win con for green, high cost, sorcery speed)

• Gifts Ungiven (although double tutor + graveyard stuff might still be too much)

• Leovold, Emissary of Trest (probably over the line, but I want Sultai Elves!)

• Panoptic Mirror (probably in higher brackets for combo potential)

• Sway of the Stars (obnoxious, but not overpowered)

• Sylvan Primordial (borderline)

• Upheaval (Cyclonic Rift gets to hang out, but this doesn't?)

One of the things I really like about Obeka is how good she as at breaking niche cards, like who is running Darksteel Reactor or Chronozoa lol. I reaaaally like this build just because of how cheeky it is and the classic cards you are running...Clout of the Dominus, Dragonmaster Outcast, I don't even have any recs cause I haven't tried brewing Obeka yet we all know the staples and you are choosing to run cool tech instead. No Rhystic is a good sign :) Props on this!

---Actually I did a little looking at upkeep stuff out of curiosity and Recantation could be crazy in here, it's basically Upheaval which is banned! Gravestorm seems cool too esp. if you throw a Bojuka Bog in there.

Cyclonic Rift is an EDH staple that I try to avoid so my decks don't get stale. It's a power creeped Upheaval with a wonky mana cost. IMO it should be {6}{U}{U}. Reminiscent of the Invasion rare cycle of spells that could be played with flash for an additional {2}.

Land Equilibrium not the first time you have suggested this blast from the past. I don't think it will be as effective in this deck as it was in the other one. Mid to late game I've utilized Patron multiple times and will have nullified the hefty tax.

Moonfolk offering oddly enough can consistently bring out on turn 4, 5 or 6. What profitable mono blue ramp tricks do you have in mind?

Spellskite is a very cool suggestion. I'm going to chew on this.

I hate Cyclonic Rift. Never run it. Unban Upheaval! Haha

Planar Portal can potentially grab the 15 powerful spells.

Staff of the Mind Magus is very weak. High Tide although neat ramp is better in combo. Was thinking maybe Mirage Mirror?

Epidilius on Faster game starts and smoother …

The single biggest thing I have done to speed up games was convince my playgroup that it is okay to concede. There used to be so much "I might have something", "I want to see it played out", "What if he makes a mistake?", and other useless time wasting shit. We could spend up to an hour on a single turn because one player wanted to see if the combo player would mess up the combo. An absolute waste of time.

Now, if I get my combo out I say "This is my combo, I have X pieces of protection. Can anyone stop me?" and we either play it out or move on. If someone casts Upheaval and then refills their board, the rest of the table has a quick five second chat of "Does anyone have a plan?" (answer is usually "No") and we scoop and move on. If someone dies, the other two non-winning players have a quick talk "Can you deal with all the Eldrazi? I can't" and we scoop and move on.

I love the look of this! It's not quite in line with the tapping theme, but what about Upheaval or Evacuation as a finisher with Black Vise?

Unlife on What ONE card would you …

2 years ago

It may be just my playgroup, but based on how we play, there's a lot of cards I could see being unbanned and not warping the format. I agree that Iona, Shield of Emeria could easily be unbanned, Hullbreacher, Upheaval and Trade Secrets as well. Out of those 4, I think I would choose to unban Iona, Shield of Emeria because I'm most likely going to play her in a couple of my decks.
