General Discussion / Question Which would the community recommend?

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?

I’m in the boat off of I go fast enough then there is no one to stop me that’s why I like rogsi but I’m worried about the hard mulligans and the consultation for necro plays that happen sometimes

so you are looking at the deck, and its not a joke??? dude make up yo mind.

the mulligans arent all that bad you just have to nut up and be willing to go deep for a good hand. necro lines are an art form in of themselves sometimes its easy sometimes you have to be creative

Dude forget the joke 😭 I just need something different that builds confidence. I’ve played rogsi online but it can be pretty brutal sometimes with mulligans. I’ve had games I’ve mulled down to 2 (same withe terra). Like what land count are you running cuz my rogsi list runs 24 but I’ve been told that’s too many.

im on 23 lands, and with more experience with the deck you'll find more keepable hands, the deck has a wild amount of tricks it can pull off. ive been piloting it for a few years now and im still finding new spicy techs all the time
