Aww thanks Bear! That's exactly what I was aiming for with a piece like this.

If you're an enfranchised player, this one probably isn't so much for you.

That said, there are a few cheeky mentions on there that have a touch of my personality about them.

The Best Mana Rocks that Aren’t Sol Ring or Arcane Signet - Card Kingdom Blog
When you build a new Commander deck, Sol Ring and Arcane Signet are the first artifacts you reach for. When you buy a Commander Precon, they’re always included. The power of Sol Ring and Arcane Signet...

it's kinda funny though how when that initial bracket beta was just forming, busted precons were still relative outliers. and then literally every one since has been absolute FIRE lmao
It's not anyone's fault, but the "precons are a 2" thing from the original bracket explanation was a HUGE mistake. Almost every pre-con commander printed recently is absolute gas, and almost any change you make to those lists make them a strong 3 if they weren't already there out of the box.

yeah honestly i'm being pulled towards it as well

So in the spirit of this article, which build excites you more: Boros Dragons or Rakdos Dragons?

And yes, Lightning Dragons. Let me cook.

If you can spare a few minutes to respond to this Home Office consultation on indefinite leave to remain, please do so.

The proposed changes are inhumane and beyond unfair.

i'm convinced we'd have seen senior members of Wizards resign well in advance of any HP products coming to light tbh

it wouldn't go down well at all

that "and more" might be doing a lot of heavy lifting to try and throw magic players off the scent

say it ain't so

Another example of this sorta grey-zone is that at -some- tables, I will mulligan a Smothering Tithe/Sol Ring hand with Hofri... but at other tables, I won't.

It's all about the vibe and the goals and the players and the decks at the table.
February 10, 2026 at 2:58 PM
That said, this really does touch on the grey-zone between 3 and 4 that could be 3.5 but also is fine with your approach - which is just to shuffle up again.

My Hofri deck can naturally draw into a combo early (involving Hofri), but is a five mana Commander without access to Green's ramp. I play him in Bracket 4.
February 10, 2026 at 2:55 PM
I generally feel like there's a difference in this sort of thing happening when it comes to your Commander being piece A of a combo versus when it's not.

If this was a multi piece combo they lucked into in the 99, id be way more fine with it than when one piece is their Commander.

vortex puts the fear of god in me and i always have to explain to the rest of the table how strong it is

and then there's always the "...ohhhhhh. OHHHHH! fuck..." once people get it lol
