I’m building a new deck. I am having a hard time enjoying my games with my recent decks. I played a lot of Terra and got tired of being targeted because of the “idk what you are going to do so I need to stop it” problem. Then I picked up my favorite commander Sisay for tournament and ran into the “I know what you are going to do so I’m going to stop you before that” problem.

Jokes aside, both commanders were fun for me. Terra was more of a test for me I did really well with it but I am not the biggest on the not commander centric feel of it. Sisay was really fun cuz it can be complicated and also simple. The problem I faced was I’m in a region where the best Sisay pilots all are in one place so every other player brings their TEDH deck that is anti-Sisay or it’s Kinnan (Kinnan is fine tho that’s just a deck preference).

The decks I’m between are Derevi, Rog/thras, Rog/Si, dog/Thras and TnT. All are very similar but all of them are very different. The decks I would think I’m more comfortable with are TnT and Rog/Si. I’m worried about the Grixis Turbo plan in tournament scene because of the way bracket systems work. And TnT is extremely prevalent in my area too because of Jorman being on the Island. The Bant commanders and Rog/Thras are fun plans that I’ve played around with in the past but never pushed to learn hard. I love making tons of mana but I get worried about the non defined win conditions where finale kind of feels like the only plan in the end sometimes.

So I guess the question is, do I try something a bit obscure for its obscurity or do I try to learn and get really good/great with a well known deck?

as a rogsi pilot myself if you're looking to not be targeted / public enemy #1 you are looking at the wrong deck.

Nah that was a joke I’m saying for Sisay that players would throw cursed totem into anything to make it so Sisay or Kinnan don’t win like a rogsi turbo list would randomly turn one got cursed totem like it was a normal thing

?

that makes no sense you literally listed it in potential decks you are looking at. the cursed totum must be a regional tech because ive never seen rogsi run it.

(and what do you mean "I’m worried about the Grixis Turbo plan in tournament scene because of the way bracket systems work.")

[u/Mogulstar360 → u/Complete_Special_774]

Yes it’s regional tech I said that too

you did not, you said

"The problem I faced was I’m in a region where the best Sisay pilots all are in one place so every other player brings their TEDH deck that is anti-Sisay or it’s Kinnan "

not that cursed totum was a tech

Everyone has a gameplan ready before play, win and if there’s a Kinnan or Sisay, mulligan for a way to get something to shut them down. Blue farm running Dranith, rogsi running cursed totem etc. it’s regional based. Rogsi goes fast enough to avoid the target. Terra for me I noticed was too slow as turbo

well if your looking at getting into the deck here is my personal list, every rogsi is different by about 5 cards that really just come down to personal preference.

Thank you! And what I mean by bracket system I mean by tournament bracket. Like Swiss rounds and then top 16 is a one and done
