Pretty much, yeah.

I wont stop. I'm sorry that other people forced you out, but I won't let that happen to me.

I can message you a copy of the chart if you so desire.

I go off a chart on the Commander Plaza discord server for deckrating (which is where I have had my deck submitted and rated as a power 8 by multiple cEDH players). The lowest rating I’ve gotten is a 7.5 (dude cited no free countermagic, no imperial seal, no duals as to his reason).

Point being that my deck is definitely in high power-cEDH territory. It is just subjective ratings by different people with different mindsets that constitutes their own definitions of deck rating.

Not necessarily because a) there is so many cards I can’t remember, b) I look at what cards synergize with the deck and take those cards to brew my own deck

Netdecking is usually defined as buying/using/copying a deck seen in a tournament and sometimes on the internet (basically MtG plagiarism) The difference being I brewed my own deck using a bit of research, thus, it doesn’t fit the definition well.

The combo is popular and well known to the point that everyone knows about it because it is arguably one of the strongest combos in the game (outside of underworld breach line which I won’t go into). It’s not necessarily where I can’t point down a single spot where it’s been heard since it’s quite ubiquitous.

I use a website called EDHREC to build my decks. It’s the go to website for EDH players as for certain commanders it will give decklists that are premade by the public. It will also show you cards that synergies with the deck and combos that are popular with that commander.

Fair enough. I’ll still keep the post up tho.

Edit: This is simply for me just to vent. I’m not exactly looking for advice here and I do not expect everyone to know what I am talking about. I just want to get the point across that I did something wrong and allow for personal growth.

I do agree with you on the closeness to cEDH. It currently has a power rating of 8 (preventing cEDH is staples like dockside, ad naus, and mana rocks)I also have 5 decks on me at different power levels. I knew to pick that deck when there was a markov, an ivy, and a simic pairing.

And as far as the interaction comment goes, that was why I apologized after realizing I was wrong.

You’re not wrong, but I feel this sub would have a more unbiased opinion rather than the MtG subs.

People are sore losers, and it’s one of my pet peeves. I had 0 open mana so I was fucked if thassa got countered. Not to mention there was an ivy, markov, and a simic pairing so the power levels were matched.

Well the commander is Inalla. I have never netdecked and will never do that. I run 9 counter spells to cover my moves.

I will say that it certainly isn’t for everyone, but I do enjoy it and have found something else I like to do.

Edit: not to mention, as a shy person, this has grown my outlet to make friends.
