There's a level of introspection about one's deckbuilding and if one's "bracket 2 with an asterisk deck" feels "angle-shooty" or not, which I hope to encourage. I don't think there's a concrete way to sort decks between the two. I just want to encourage everyone to be honest with themselves.

JJ Mickey @jjmickeymedia.bsky.social · 13h

On the contrary it wouldn't feel right to me to still run the gamechangers in my F&T deck and still insist that it's fundamental nature should still put it up against bracket 2 decks.

JJ Mickey @jjmickeymedia.bsky.social · 13h

Now there are decks that resemble what I'm talking about here but are really something else entirely. A bracket 2 deck built around a specific card and thus requires tutors is something that comes to mind here as perfectly acceptable so long as you discuss it with your playgroup.

For a personal example, my Fluros and Tana deck is fundamentally a "midrange go-wide creature deck". I used to run Urza, Deflecting Swat, and Seedborn Muse in the deck. But I took them all out when I concluded that my deck "wanted" to be a bracket 2 deck.

I believe this is part of what creates "bracket 2.5" situations, where what your deck does on a fundamental level is very much suited to bracket 2, but you've included bracket 3+ elements which while pushing it outside of bracket 2, aren't enough to change the fundamental nature of your deck.

JJ Mickey @jjmickeymedia.bsky.social · 13h

#edh I want to talk about "bracket 2 with gamechanger" decks, by which I mean "decks that fundamentally do bracket 2 stuff but include bracket 3+ elements that leave them in bracket limbo".

InfiniTokens are NOT on Amazon, so let folks interested (or people you ask for gifts) know that searching for "InfiniTokens" there will only get a lot of cheap imitators that are not the real, high quality ones. They mimic our product designs to fool people into thinking they are the original.

Also shout-out to @commandzoe.bsky.social who helped me come to this decision as what is best for me and my channel. Listen to Zoe, folks. She smart!

JJ Mickey @jjmickeymedia.bsky.social · 1d

This will both help me to keep a consistent schedule (which is good for my channel growth/metrics while simultaneously making me more consistently available on other days to guest on others' streams). I hope you will come with me on this journey and I appreciate you all very much!

Hey PSA to my YT people out there but Auto-Dubbing using AI is getting automatically enabled on your channel and opting out of it is buried deep in the depths of your channel.

Hey #edh I want to remind everyone that the equipment set-up threshold for getting into streaming/stream guesting is lower than you think!

Get started now, worry about upgrading later!
