The State of This Subreddit

Hello! I'm Izzet_Aristocrat,

I'm a moderator of the subreddit, but not the head mod.

I was brought on about three years ago and the sub just kinda exists.

I was asked, and at the time, had free time to help out. That obviously changed.

What didn't however, was the sub. This place seems just as barren as it did before.

I have a job and attend college, so I'm not the most active as you can guess. But for the fuck of it, I'll try to steer the ship.

As for the card fetcher, I'm honestly not sure how to do that. I'm also listed as inactive so I can't do certain things. But I'm going to pretend to care and moderate this place a little bit.

Which is going to bring me to the new rules for posting, and pretending to care about post quality.

  1. Post whatever you want. Seriously. I'm not your fucking mom. I don't care. Within reason. Pet posts are fine, swastikas of magic cards and racist bigoted talk about trans people, isn't. This isn't one of those anti-woke places. I'd like to think if I'm in charge of one of these places, that I'm not a ruler of chuds. As long as it's related to magic or other card games, go ahead.

  2. Deck posts. Obviously this is the point of the sub. There's just one problem...

No one gives a fuck. Like the other subreddits for deck building, unless you're building something really popular, like edhrec top 50, most people won't help you. Especially for universes beyond stuff. You just end up with lists and posts that ask for feedback or advice...and no one responds. This is a problem for other subs such as r/edh and it's a worse problem here. How do we fix that? I'm honestly not sure.

  1. Don't be fuckwads. This one's obvious. I'm not even gonna give out warnings. I see someone being a dickhead to others in the sub and it's a ban.

I'm gonna try to steer the helm and when I can, add more active mods. Bare with me. -Izzet_Aristocrat.

Edit: I just tried to install and use card fetcher and reddit blocked me. So that's offline until I'm listed as active again.

Edit Edit: I'm gonna try to make this more a laid back sub. The point of the sub is to make the most optimal suboptimal lists. So bracket 3, and bracket 4 decks.

Tom, Bert and William, degenerates.

Hi there, I am currently looking for suggestions for my deck. My aim for the deck is to make it as strong as possible without using game changers.

Currently I am able to win pretty consistently on 5/6. Main win conditions are currently by sticking a [[psychosis crawler]] or [[starving revenant]] and pinging everyone with draw triggers.

The main mana/draw engine comes from [[lumra]] and [[cultivator colossus]] ETBs whilst having [[amulet of vigor]] /[[tiller engine]] in play.

The main thing I struggle with is consistency. In occasion I'll dig 40-50 cards deep and not find my win-cons and fizzle out. I need more ways to consistently tutor/dig for those win-cons.

About moderating

So as most can tell it’s been a bit hectic lately. All mods have been inactive including myself the creator. I’m currently in the process of adding mods. There are applications available that I will be reviewing. Currently I cannot currently add individuals straight up due to my recent inactivity.

With that said, I need your help and want your help and hopefully we can make this place better than ever before

It’s been difficult for me lately and this amazing community has far outpaced what I can personally due 24/7

Hopefully I can become active enough again to make more impactful changes. There’s a lot to learn on my end because wow this community has become much larger than I ever anticipated and I appreciate all this community has done

Atraxa but stun. Is it degen enough?

I have done plenty of looking around and decided I wanted to build atraxa, praetors voice. Instead of poison counters and +1/+1 counters; I wanted to be evil and build the deck around stun counters. I have a mock up of what I was thinking but I'm open to criticism on it and ideas. I'm mostly looking for like card draw help because it seems to be a bit of weakness of mine. I think i have a pretty good way to draw cards. And it is something I want to get better at. I'm also thinking about some more protection but I'm not to sure.

I know my land base could probably use some work too but this is a first draft.
