@3drinks Thank you for the suggestions on the targeted removal cards. I will definitely be adding those to my next order of cards. And the artifacts just seem like good editions for almost all of my decks since our meta is pretty graveyard recursion heavy.
@Kaltovei Digging the anafenza idea. Definitely something that would be great to play against him 1v1.
I think a couple of these additions to my decks should help level the playing field against him 1v1 so my decks will actually be able to do something instead of being locked down 100 percent of the time.
I run Tormod's Crypt, Bojuka Bog, and Rest in Peace. I either never get them at the time I need them, or I will play them, he goes, oh well, kill it, and then continues to have another sac outlet or exile creature, etc.
I think I usually run into the issue of, I can play all my removal spells and try to stop his board and have no creatures. Or play enough creatures so he can't full swing each time without being overrun. Neither are options I'm truly fans of. Basically any creature based deck against his loses. My creature deck is a Najeela, turn 4 win if I keep the cards I need on board. My storm deck is Epic Experiment, so it takes some time to set up and then it comes down to what cards i flip. And then I play mill because I like it, but Mill versus gy recursion just makes him win faster.
I've been looking at building a Zurgo Bellstriker deck to just burn him. Another deck I've thought of building is Scorpion God. Neither of which I'm sure will do well against it. If anyone has any deck suggestions that are relatively budget friendly, that'd be helpful. I'll try to get a decklist for his deck so you can see what I'm up against, if that helps.
Heyo,
First post here and was unable to find a thread already dedicated to something similar.
My hope is to reach out and ask for ways any of you have been able to combat consistent exile of target permanent.
I'll give a little bit of background to help. My buddy and I enjoy playing Commander 1v1 (we play with a 4 player group too but I can deal with the meta there). The issue is he really enjoys playing Alesha, with countless creatures like Fiend Hunter and the like with a sac outlet to basically every turn permanently exiling my creatures. Even if I exile his sac outlet, he has 5 more he can bring into play. I have adjusted my deck as well trying to bring in hexproof or shroud, but then he'll just exile the thing that gives those, putting me back to square one of no protection. Obviously I could ask him to not play that deck, but as it is his favorite deck I am looking for something to combat it so we can be competitive. I also have a non creature based storm deck that will occasionally go off and win, but I need a very favorable hand and him to not wheel me or just 5 turn kill me.
Another object is budget, so I cannot just go spend 200 plus dollars on a bunch of really good cards. Really just looking for some ideas.
Plus those can go in any deck!
