I am doing something wrong building my decks and could use some help!

Hello everyone,

I am consistently losing in my LGS pod with these 3 decks, could use some help from more experienced Commander players who can kindly take 5-10 mins, scan my decklists and provide some input on what I can change/improve.

My best, somewhat consistent, performer is my big creatures, Helga the Skittish Seer deck, although still consistently losing. I usually get a really good turn with it where I have a lot of big creatures to deal damage with, but can't kill 3 people at once, at most usually one and then tempo falls off.

I also like to play with this The Jolly Balloon Man deck, but again consistently losing. This is an ETB and LTB blink-based deck, I have had a few very strong games with it, and even managed a couple of wins on 3 player pods, but feels like those were strokes of luck, rather than a well-built deck that performs consistently. I say that because I have also had a few horrible performances with it.

Finally, my last deck is a Reanimation Ratadrabik of Urborg deck, which hasn't performed very well either. I have managed to get to a couple of strong board states a few times, but the deck feels slow and hard to get off the ground.

The pod I usually play with is top tier bracket 3, and that's what I prefer aswell. So not a lot of tutoring, extra turns or infinite combos.

I know there are some weird cards in my decks and sometimes I kind of force things to fit where they shouldn't because I prefer to play with cards that I pull on packs/boxes rather than spending a lot on singles. My mentality is changing on that though as I'm trying to fine tune my decks with some singles purchases, so any advice/suggestion is welcome.

Thank you so very much to anyone reading this and especially to anyone trying to help!

Cheers and happy games!
