Do you usally hold starting hands with 2 lands? I had today 5 games like this and i misses alwaysbthe land drop while usally my opponenen nearly never getvstuck on 2 lands. After taht i ahve noticed that i am very often mana screwed im this scenario.

So are such hands playable or should i mulligan if i ahve no ramp an only 2 lands?

looking to tweak wherever i can to make this deck better, got me to gold during marvel

I’ve been really surprised by the variety of decks in Competitive. It seems like the place to go if you want to play your favorite deck and not be eternally stuck in the old Hell Queue with your pile of jank.

[[Library of Alexandria]] is known as the 10th piece of power for a reason. Having it on turn one (especially while being on the draw) almost guarantees that you’ll be drowning your opponent in card advantage the rest of the game if it’s not removed. I’m not sure if WOTC is monitoring this card or if they overlooked it being legal in Brawl when it came out in the SOS mystical archive.

If a control/tempo player (ie Nashi, Raffine, Rusko) is drawing with Library from t1, I usually just concede because I know the game is not going to go in my favor. This goes for competitive too, but I don’t think it should be banned in competitive because the swing-y nature of the card fits with other cards in the format (ie Mana Drain and Channel). Thoughts?

This is sort of weird. I am newish to mtg as a whole, and as far as I can see, blue is a very strong colour in general. I am not here to complain about why is it like that, but rather would like to learn how do you fight blue decks using non blue commanders. For example rn I am running a toph metalbender deck which is on built cheaply, but I am slowly upgrading. A lot of commanders I like omit Blue (Eddie Brock/Venom, All the Tophs, Tifa) and if I wanna step into competitive brawl, what is the mentality and habits I need to learn to fight blue based control strats and such? Especially if I cannot match it with Blue. I won't stick to these commanders, just giving examples.

This really needs a rule revision. All that needs to happen is acknowledgement that abilities that move the commander from the command zone into play are subject to the commander tax. That is all that is required. If that were done it would do so much to balance these commanders.

title.

Maybe, maybe, MAYBE you could make an argument for comp brawl

But playing against this thing in casual is just miserable and I don’t really feel like “oh just concede if you see it” really addresses the problem.

EDIT - Eye of Storms,

It feels like they messed with the matchmaker again? My queue times are fast now - they were getting over a minute and now are down to 5-10 seconds - but I'm facing Commanders I've never seen before and decks filled with uncommons!

None of my commanders are top-tier and I never face the 'hell queue' commanders but apparently something has unlocked an entire lower matching tier and I feel a bit bad in a lot of the games. Anyone else having the same experience?

As the title says my commander [[Elsha, Threefold Master]] is a removal magnet. I’m a f2p player and recently was able finish this deck that I was so excited for. The few times she isn’t immediately removed things pop off very quickly. Most of the time though she’s immediately incapacitated and it really puts the breaks on things. Any ideas to overcome this? I have [[Swiftfoot Boots]] and things like [[Dive Down]] but I’m not sure if that’s enough. Any recommendations would be very helpful, thank you!
