Frog Control to Major Tom - 9

Yes I did. It was one of the first ones I made when I first started learning magic so now that I have better knowledge I decided to redo it

Considering that you only have 23 decks, I do wonder about your "deck numerations"
If they were design numbers you'd have a lot more decks on this site, so what's up with that ?

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean?

Just ignore him. WDM is a conspiracy theorist who insists that everyone on here is a part of some secret cabal sending coded messages through their decks.

And 99% of the accounts are just fakes.
I've provided plenty of examples.

A growing part of this community seems to throw random numbers at the end of their decks, and considering that speedy only has 23 decks, but have plenty of decks ending with a "high" number at their end it can't be because he is nummerating them, and sometimes I get curios at all the stupid new trends in here that I just have to ask.

I might as well ask why so many are using the new "letter is the new card picture" trend, but the answer is likely to be secret messages anyways.

I also keep a secret archive of usernames and deck names which is how I knew you were doing a "rerun"

If you use the mtgvault search engine to search for the usernames Matt cher and rie you might be in for a surprise. Or try usernames with bear, or Jan or Ian or yan.

Just look at the oldest of them to see how large a percentage is trolling this place.

I used to look at the oldest deck of user accounts because the first think trolls do with a new account name is trolling.

Or he could just be using the numbers to indicate version numbers. I do the same thing with some of my decks. Maybe the previous versions are set to private.

I actually accused someone of being a bot recently. I'm talking an EDH deck with duplicate cards, off-colour cards and no mana sources for some of the colours - I was convinced it was an AI generated deck, but it turned out they were just really, really bad at deckbuilding!

Well there's one oddity about the combined "version numbers" if that's what they are.
They almost never go above 10.

Chatbots are definitely getting better.
Did you know you can get chatgtp to write in different styles ?

You can have it write an analysis of a magic deck wired as if it was a pirate, and orc, an angst filled teenager, or as if it was David attenborough talking about wildlife.

It can even imitate your favourite comedian...
(Provided that he is well known and has enough material)

So like I mentioned I was new at deck building when I first made this deck but I have friends that have been playing for years and years and they have been the ones teaching me and best way to learn is practice I redid this deck specifically because I realized it was all wrong and I also use EDH rec to help me with building. I don't even do much on here other than use it to build my decks because this is where my friends build theirs lol

As for the number to the side...that is the power level of the deck. I put my deck in a power level calculator online

Brother,the number to the side is the power level of the deck.

1-10.My brother in Christ

And so far that Iv seen in the ONLY person who does it ?? if not one of the few

Im*….well one of the few not the only one.

And if you don’t believe me literally google “power level commander” and look at the images.

A power level calculator ?
Sounds like a new way to get people to play what you want if you made the calculator ;)

I can believe that people are gullible enough to accept such a golden nose ring :)

As an example, if you build a deck on respectively mtgvault and mug goldfish and use the "draw a new hand" feature there is an odd bug on mtggoldfish that causes decks with 17 lands to give better draws.

As a result most decks on mtggoldfish have 17 lands, even the tournament results which is odd because humans always have idiot outliers that try to defy common wisdom.

The engine on mtgvault reflects real life hands closely, so by drawing a 100 hands on each engine you can explore what cards the mtggoldfish engine seems to highlight.

So power level calculators, that is a thing I can believe in.

That does explain why most of these are high end numbers, because who would ever post a power level 1 except for a few noob suporters.

If you look at the image it says 1 is a random pile of cards lol

That actually makes it interesting.

You could open some boosterpacks, type in the stuff you get and see if it scores 1
Anything build this way shouldn't get a score higher than 1 or the calculator is a lie.

That said, it would be fun to use it to measure new sets compared to old.

I wonder what a random unlimited deck would score :)

This is the site I use to calculate the decks - https://mtg.cardsrealm.com/en-us/tools/commander-power-level-calculator

I entered a pauper deck and got a power 4 rating.
It suggested a bunch of cards and because my deck was burn I immediately looked at how many 1 managed spells it suggested, and there was only 1.

It would be fun to feed it some other pauper decks to see if I can score a 10 somehow :)

Hmm, second deck, based on affinity also scored a 4, it suggests lots of duals, but doesn't suggest any artifact lands at all

Third deck scored a 5 due to draw and combo potential.

I also made a deck of 99 grizzly bears, and it only suggested taplands to support it...

Ofcourse, I'm not really giving it commander decks to work with, 33 cards are missing from most of them, so I might get more points with more cards.

its only used for commander

Not anymore ;)

But that said I did perform some experiments based on commander.
First I gave it a pauper deck that it gave a ranking of four, then it gave me a lot of suggestions that I wrote down, then I cleared it and entered all the suggestions instead, getting a five, then I entered the new and old suggestions, getting a 6. I did this one more time, but then it ran out of suggestions. I did however add a random commander pressing things up to a 7.

On second thought it was still a 6.

But the suggestions looked a lot more random than 99 Grizzlies in my opinion ;)
(It can certainly be argued that it's a very purposeful move, bad but not random...

It jus doesn’t grade accurately or if so the formula is different outside of commander

You don't get it...
I had it build a commander deck for me...

It's program is rather simple, the lure is the "goal" of creating power level 10 decks.
Anyone blindly trusting the "suggestions" are buying into a bunch of dubious cards.

There's no synergy involved, points are based on some classic mechanics that doesn't necessarily make the deck good.

It's a "parrot" it talks, but not in a coherent way.

Not what I mean nor do I use the card suggestions I just build my decks myself then rate it and leave it as it.

Since everyone seems to rate with it, then some are bound to adapt the suggestions.

well i guess im not everyone, i do not what so ever and never have.
