{"ops":[{"insert":"Consistency and protecting Lara\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"The deck is trying to sacrifice big creatures for value of Dina, Essence Brewer. I already have an aristocrats version of Dina, but trying to focus on the second ability. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I'm unsure of how strong the deck will be, and if there are any obvious mistakes with this deck. I've been trying to goldfish it and it seems to run fine, but sometimes a little low on draw. Would love to get recommendations regarding cards to add or cards to cut.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Cast and copy as many things with azula as i can to swing wide and big\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"a more consistent manabase in lands, or artifacts, nothing too crazy expensive. Other possible cuts and replacements with cards in avatar set for consistency and flavor\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck's trying to make a whole lotta artifacts and/or copies of historic spells. Mainly wins through burn or big giant artifact creatures that have trample due to the finishers.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"The deck tends to really need the Sixth Doctor to be on board to be threatening and the deck can be somewhat fragile as a result. So I'm mainly looking for recommendations on how to improve either the consistency of keeping him around, or making it so that the deck's not completely reliant on the commanders. Also, I don't really know if the pillowfort style enchantments are gonna do much for the deck in actual games as I had included them to disincentivize going after me while I'm setting up. If there are any recommendations on swaps for them, I'm all ears. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I'm trying to make a budget Cube, mythics < $3 on CardKingdom, everything else < $1.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is trying to get value from the table fighting each other. Through the mayhem it can hopefully get enough big bodies on it to finish off whoever is left standing.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"What are some ramp pieces I can add? I feel like 6 is not enough but I'm just not sure what would be good to add. I'd like to get to 10.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is a spellslinger/lifegain deck that tries to win by milling opponents through commander triggers.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I need to cut down to 100 cards.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is primarily trying to win through combos. Mostly ashnod's altar, nim's deathmantle + Breya, although Time Sieve and Thopter Assembly is another one. There's also just the potential to go wide with artifacts, make them indestructible and just win through combat eventually.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I feel like it's a bit too inconsistent. I have playtested it, but I find myself mana screwed a little more than I'd like. I'm wondering whether I'm low on draw cards? Additionally, some of the cards I have already so I'm trying to keep those in the deck: Breya, Time Sieve, Enlightened Tutor, Darksteel Forge, Nim's Deathmantle + Ashnod's altar are the main ones. In terms of power level, I'm not looking to go crazy. This is already going to be the most powerful deck I have, given that it includes a game changer and those combos. But I am trying to make sure it works before I buy the rest in paper. Thanks!\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Best of 3 \nTurn 4 kill via Ardyn reanimation -> any of the Payoff cards (Cactuar, Bahamut, Worldsire).

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is trying to be as Sarulf as possible while minimising cards that I must purchase, and purely using what's in my inventory. Not sure how I can make Edict effects affect me less with the low creature count, so I'm probably more likely to also end up sacc'ing Sarulf for the sake of casting an edict. \nOutside of more removal, I want to see how this current build can reach the finish line quickly. Some finisher or pump spell to make Sarulf safely two-hit one opponent perhaps after wiping boards.\n\nI am also interested in a definite answer on whether this build is still a Bracket 2 in the event that I get asked what bracket it is when I use it for play at stores.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Help with confirming Bracket tier\nCheaper removals less than 5 dollars rather than relying on edicts (although this might be contradictory with what Sarulf wants to do on average)\nCards to reach the finish line quicker rather than just being a player resetting states back to zero for an hour\nDoes not need help with lands. Those are filler but not main focus for the deck help\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"The deck play around cycling and self discards at every player turns for maximum benefit\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"i have some card too many and i am not that acustomed to cycling as the main mechanics\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is trying to win by casting big multi target spells and doing so cheaply. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I feel like I run into the issue with too many X cost spells and would like some assistance with cutting down the number of them. I find myself sometimes relying too much on Hinata and when she is removed it makes it difficult to catch back up. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Hi everyone! This deck focuses on using the Kamigawa dragons that trigger effects when they die. It’s a Dragon tribal deck that also relies on recursion, aiming to fully exploit those death triggers. I want to use Kyodai, Soul of Kamigawa as the commander because of the thematic connection to these dragons. I’d like to avoid a deck that just beats down; instead, I want to incorporate some control elements and perhaps one or two combos to use as finishers. I aim to an high bracket 3."},{"attributes":{"code-block":"plain"},"insert":"\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is already kinda good; what I’d like is some advice on: speeding it up, making the most of the dragons' death effects (very important), and improving the mana base.

{"ops":[{"insert":"Hey there! Thanks for taking your time to look at my Desk Help request! \n\nI started off by trying to build a Bracket 4 deck for "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Doctor Doom, King of Latveria"}},{"insert":" however, I feel like I've made it more suited for "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kefka, Court Mage // Kefka, Ruler of Ruin"}},{"insert":". \n\nI have never built a Bracket 4 deck before, but it is a format I want to really get into and join in some pods at my local stores. \n\nThe original plan for this deck, was to really start to leverage Doom's discard a land to deal 2 damage to an opponent, hence the inclusion of some cards such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Crucible of Worlds"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Roaming Throne"}},{"insert":" however, I wanted to try get away from Bracket 3 and start to include more Game Changer cards and include some infinite combos to close off the game as win conditions. \n\nI have also tried to keep the deck to include some thematic cards in universe such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Doctor Doom"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Doom's Time Platform"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"M.O.D.O.K."}},{"insert":".\n\nI also tried to incorporate some win conditions unique to this deck, with cards such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Doctor Doom, Unrivaled"}},{"insert":" hence the inclusion of some cards such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Demonic Consultation"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Doomsday"}},{"insert":".\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"My main concern with my deck right now, is I have made it particularly too combo heavy, and included some very strong combos such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Thassa's Oracle"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tainted Pact"}},{"insert":" which means it has ultimately gone away from what the commander is trying to do. \n\nI also want to try get away from being a generic Grixis, I will race you to the win to find my combos and more into a Bracket 4, utilise my Commander as part of my win condition. \n\nI would like to get some advise on ultimately how I would run this as a Bracket 4 deck, what the must-adds and must-cuts should be while trying to keep the deck fun to play. \n\nIt might be your honest opinion that this Commander is not suitable for Bracket 4 and not being used to the format, having some solid reasoning about this might be helpful too. \n\nAny honest, helpful and critical suggestions will be hugely appreciated, it's not a Bracket I tend to play in, but I sometimes feel left out when being unable to compete having to run my Bracket 3 decks against people's Bracket 4 because it's the pod I am with and what they tend to fancy to play.\n\nThank you,\nOopsMyBad\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Im trying to make a powerful (B4) Kefka using only cards I already own.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"This current list is all cards that I already own. I have not played high power magic in general, or Kefka. Please take a look and see if anything looks weird or out of place. Recommendations are welcome, but I am trying to only use cards I own, to decrease \"bulk\" I have lying around. Thanks!\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"My deckis trying to win via drain but more of the time it feels like I get a bigger creature and just have to attack to win. I would like to find a good slot for Ather flux reservoir and would like to have a few more win conditions I’m not working to add cards over like $30 and my tutoring is a little weak. I’m looking at worldly tutor and a few other parts.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I never feel like I can win with besides Mirkwood bats paired with academy, manufacturer peregrine took and Jahira a friend of the forest otherwise I feel like my main wind conditions is the ring with Frodo adventurous hobbit, but it takes a long time to win, I don’t have very explosive terms which would be cool to have like an explosive term with like 27 life gain and 27+ 1+1 counters with treebeerd I want better drain cards\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"The deck is trying to win by reanimating big creatures and making a big orc army also by the other creatures and lots of mill and then winning through combat or spell effects, I’m not trying to make tokens and would not like very expensive cards\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"There’s not a lot of reanimation and not a lot of mill effects that mill and not a lot of cards that have flashback, which makes it hard if you get a bad mill effect I would like to replace the commander if anyone has any suggestions and please don’t remove cards\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Get out quick and burn the table before they can establish a board state. The deck can and has won with 4 mana sources which is why the land count is very low, Especially with the very low mana cost of the deck.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Struggling with card draw if the deck gets slowed down at all. I recently put Elspeth, Storm Slayer in the deck for more tokens. I've had my eye on removing Jacked Rabbit but it has come in clutch with some recent games.

{"ops":[{"insert":"what can i do to make it better \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"make it a stronger deck \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Should I remove or add anything to this to make it stronger\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"The four main goals with this deck go as follows. \n1: Spellslinging and damage dealt using the commander and creatures that do the same effects as the commander or help trigger the commanders effects repeatedly or cheaper to help trigger it more often., poison counters are used to help speed this win along.\n2: Card draw repeatedly during turns to ether fix my game plan or pump up creatures on my board or causing opponents to draw cards and deal damage to themselves in doing so.\n3:Control by making spells for opponents cost too much and making myself run away with the game in doing so.\n4: Boardwipes that are ether one sided or cause my treasure tokens wincon to trigger.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I have been told I need a higher mana base, I typically don't see this happening when playing in pods or goldfishing but mostly just want second opinions and suggestions for what I can do to help with these goals.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I want to win with either Mechanized Production, Hellkite Tyrtant, or with a Vivi, Kuja, and Black Waltz damage. I want to play a lot of artifacts and create copies of them to have more value. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I need help with getting the deck in a straight line so to say. I can find cards that seem fun to play or combos that would be cool to see but I cannot really get over the hump on what to cut and how to still have a deck that functions properly. I want to keep some cards in the deck as I enjoy them like Urza's Guilt, Mishra, Tamer of Mak Fawa, The Brother's War, and the Mightstone and Weakstone. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"The goal is to win with [[Frodo, Sauron's Bane]] while sticking to the 1-CMC-only challenge. That's why there's an absolutely stupid amount of protection spells and a kinda-sorta Voltron gameplan.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I started the deck by basically cramming in every protection spell I could find: hexproof, indestructible, protection from colors, and, probably the best option, phase out, since it keeps Frodo around with all his upgrades.\n\nAs for the rest, I'll be honest, I had no idea what to put in, so I mostly just threw in whatever caught my eye. Worth mentioning that budget isn't really a concern since this is casual. We play online and use proxies, but I still want the deck to actually work.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Can´t decide on cuts and could need help with the land base. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Doing this on behalf of a friend. Not my deck originally. The idea is to get spiders out, and swarm the table, also shelob acting as a beast that gives ward and also protection, as well as sustainability with the food tokens.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Power Matters Aristocrats. I wanted to really lean into Dina's second ability.\t\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"The deck feels pretty slow. I want to keep the deck in bracket 2 so it can be played at a casual table. A reoccurring play pattern I have is Turn 1 ramp > Turn 2 Dina > Turn 3 play a creature > Turn 4 creature > Turn 5 make a single creature larger which overall isn't bad it just feels a little slow.\n\nPrimarily looking for suggestions to:\nMake the deck a little faster or more consistent (is that even needed?). Often the deck goes to like turn 10. \nHelp finding definitive wincons. Right now I have some very solid engines with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Skullspore Nexus"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Beifong's Bounty Hunters"}},{"insert":" like cards but struggle to actually close out games in a timely manner.\n\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"It’s way to slow and I need help on cuts and more consistent wincons\ntrying to stay under 300 if possible\n\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I want to goad more creatures and make my opponents fight each other while i amass a big army of big creatures to take people out with if that plan does not work.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I dont have enough goad spells and enough ways to flicker kardur's ETB effect. I am thinking of making some purchases like conjurer's closet, disrupt decorum, and karazikar, the eye tyrant; and mirage phalanx. But other than that, what else can improve?\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Shrine Tribal\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Hasn't been updated in years and don't know where to start\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Steal creatures and turn them into copies of The Floods of Mars and going-wide\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Efficiency in achieving more and more copies of The Floods of Mars\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is trying to take advantage of ETB triggers while also making everything an artifact and buffing all those artifacts by giving them counters and abilities. For example, I'd like things like \"when this creature enters the battlefield put a +1+1 counter on other artifacts\" or \"give another artifact creature deathtouch/flying/trample.\" Also things things that are like \"while this creature is in play give all other artifact creatures +1+1\"\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I feel like my turns are quick and that whenever I play something It's never effecting more than just one thing. I'd like to have more things happening whenever I play a card.\n\nI'd like to keep the deck under $200 but also a solid bracket 3\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"The deck is centered in a vehicle engine that can crew for free and create payoffs from doing so. The deck is slow and requires too many pieces to fall into place for a finishing turn. I love the idea of uncapping and tapping creatures left and right. Most importantly to create an overwhelming number of engines that all feed from the captain itself. I need the deck to stand against higher tier decks, not upgraded precons. I have an extensive collection, but not many Game changers. This are not seen well in my play group, so I would like fro the deck to live within a bracket 3, but purely via cards that are not game changers or combos. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I feel like it needs consistency, improve the draw engines, create some type of protection and find a way to close games in a turn as opposed to two or three turns.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"My goal with this deck was to generate an insane amount of tokens to then later on sacrifice. However, I have tested the deck multiple times and I cannot find a sweet spot to finish games. I love the idea of burning the entire table and use sacrificing tokens to do so, but it usually turns into board wipes that I cannot profit from. The deck is weak to removal and card draw is dependent \ton certain cards. I want the deck to live within a bracket 3 level. In fact, maintain the number of game changers. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I need to improve ways of finishing games, create a more consistent way of winning games, more card draw engines that match the flavor of the deck and lastly become less prominent to board wipes that usually end my game when executed more than once per game. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"The deck, how i play it,pretty much just sits there and lifegain/life drain opponents by using large clerics to create my defense while I drain.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I am trying to get it to work more smoothly, possibly start switching out cards to narrow it's focus a bit. I find that it doesn't drain as fast as it could. Or on the flip side, would it go more smoothly as an Aristocrat cleric deck?\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is trying to win by creating tokens and then making a massive board with Blech using lifegain\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I feel like this deck isn't explosive enough. It either never gets enough tokens or doesn't get enough counters to build a game ending board state fast enough. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I need help deciding what is a good win strategy for this deck. Mill is not reliable.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I feel like I need a more solid win condition besides milling. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"cast from exile, landfall to go wide\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I feel like it needs a good closer? I know the coin flips are unnecessary, those are just for fun go with the \"idk what im doing what if I coin flipped\"\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I bought this beginner deck online, i believe its trying to be quite aggressive early game, but i have struggled playing it so far \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I want this deck to be more aggressive and have more of a win condition\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Legends typal. Get Cadric out early (preferably with a pair of boots) and start playing high impact legendary permanents (mostly creatures) to double up on enters, attacks, and dies triggers. Create multiple copies for extra value and explosive turns, sometimes keeping our tokens around with sundial of the infinite. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"There are a plethora of great legends in boros, and I struggled with the last 5-10 includes. I haven't played much boros, so I don't have in-game experience playing with most of these legends. I'd love some feedback on specific creature includes, with folks giving input on if I should reconsider something in my sideboard, or take something out of my main list, based off their experience playing the cards and it's impact. I tried to value creatures with enters and attacks triggers the most, as cadric copying these would get me the most value. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"create lots of food tokens to power up squirrels\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"the creation of the food tokens feels really slow in my test games and i'm unsure which cards i can switch out to make it faster and more efficient, i'm also trying to keep it more budget friendly so max. aorund 150$ and bracket 2\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"The deck should focus on buffing my Elves so they have a high attack power, allowing my commander, Harar, to sacrifice them to deal damage to everyone. This is an alternative win condition and a form of removal before the sacrifice.\nThe deck can also attack with all the buffed Elves before sacrificing them, but this isn’t necessary.\nThe main win condition is Jarad, while the primary way to ramp is through my Elves that generate mana.\n\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"My deck needs explosive sources of +1/+1 counters, but I don’t want to spread the counters across all my Elves. I want to focus on putting a huge number of counters on a single Elf, so I’m looking for cards that can generate a lot of counters at once.\nIdeally, I’d like things such as X spells that let me invest more mana to put more counters on a creature, or other effects that can stack a large number of counters onto one creature.\n\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"planeswalker stuff\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"its never strong, feels bad\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Use the looting engine + reanimation pieces to bring other combo pieces our of the deck/ burn.\n"}]}
