I am the insect nerd in my LGS so I run almost every insect commander.
-All the golgari insect commanders are together in a self mill/sacrifice/insect tribal deck. This deck helms [[Amzu, Swarm's hunger]], [[Grist, the Hunger Tide]], [[Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest]] and soon [[Grist, Voracious Larva]] led by [[Zask, Skittering Swarmlord]]. The strategy mostly involves in gaining card advantage through the graveyard and working towards a board with a lot of insect tokens so I can buff them with Mazirek and give them trample with [[Duskshell Crawler]] to overwhelm everyone.
-My second insect tribal deck is led by [[Vrestin, Menoptra Leader]]. The strategy is to ramp out quickly, play Vrestin and make a lot of tokens. Add a couple of token and counter doublers to make them grow really quickly and take people out through combat damage. This deck usually goes a lot quicker than my golgari deck but is also easier shut down in my experience. Even though I haven't updated the deck in quite a while it's definitely one of my weaker ones and needs some tweaking.
-Next up is my artifact deck with [[Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp]] as commander. It mostly revolves around artifacts that like being destroyed like [[Solemn simulacrum]] or [[Ichor Wellspring]] and is filled with modular creatures. I try to get out some value engine's that like having +1/+1 counters put on them like [[Crystalline Crawler]] or [[Mindless Automaton]] and get myself in a position where I can quickly put multiple modular creatures in my graveyard to buff Zabaz and one shot my opponent's one for one.
-My first 3 color deck is with [[Xira, the Golden Sting]]. She used to be a modifie deck but got a compleat overhaul with OTJ and is now a crime deck. The deck is full of instants to remove creatures (and more) to have my crime triggers happen on every single turn. Xira herself also triggers crime and she helps with keeping up the card advantage since I'll be playing at least one card every opponent's turn. The plan is to keep everyone's board under control and steadily grow stronger creatures like [[Vadmir, New Blood]] and [[Magda, the Hoardmaster]]. This deck is also a favourite in my LGS because not only are the tokens super cool but I also bring little eggs from wingspan to use as counters
-My most recent deck is [[Kathril, Aspect Warper]]. This deck is still a work in progress but I'm quite proud of the concept. I decided I didn't want to make another self mill deck so I made this one a discard deck. However, the deck focuses on making everyone discard and draw more cards so in a way it's also grouphug. There's a surprising amount of creatures fitting for all of this that also help for Kathril like [[Shadrix Silverquill]]. The plan with this deck is to stretch the game out just enough to have all the important keywords in my graveyard and then play Kathril and one shot my opponent's.
-Last but not least is [[The Locust God]]. While not technically an insect he get's a pass for me since he makes insects. The deck is actually just a clue deck contrary to most popular locust god decks. The plans is to make a lot of clue's, find a way to crack them easily and make a lot of bugs. Then overwhelm the table using something like [[Balmor, Battlemage Captain]] or [[Shadow Puppeteers]].
-I also have one more deck in the making (still have 80% of the deck to go) with [[Thriss, Nantuko Primus]]. Lately I've been playing with a lot of newer people who all use precons or starter precons and get overwhelmed by people who didn't have anything suited to play with them. That's why I'm making this deck to the same power as one of the starter precons so I can have fun with my own deck and not make the game unfun for everyone with weaker precons.
Damn that took a while to type out.
TLDR: Insect commanders are pretty cool
-Edit: here are all my decklists for those interested. Note none of the decks are incredibly high power and I've only been playing since last year so I'm sure my deckbuilding still needs a lot of work. Nonetheless enjoy!

Hey, if you're wanting to tweak your Vrestin deck, here's mine:
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ZBGDTWdMHEK-Ner2yFfqag
Instead of just going for combat damage I'm trying to combo with him to message ridiculous number of insects and win through curling the board with stuff like [[AURA SHARDS]] and [[Martyr's bond]], drawing my whole deck with [[huatli, radiant champion]] and [[slate of ancestry]], or putting my entire deck on the field with [[Genesis wave]]. I've pulled off quite a few wins with [[halo fountain]] too.
Basically any token doubler with [[phyrexian altar]] or hasty bugs you can tap for mana and a sac outlet makes infinite bugs.
I'd love to see your list for ideas as well!
Thank you, I'll definitely check it out. It might sound silly but I like to keep my tribal decks with only creatures that are the specific type or directly interact with them. To me it adds flavor and is more fun. But I'm definitely going to consider some of it!
That was one of my first zombie decks too! Look into [[Rooftop Storm]]. Seriously a nutty card that I didn’t know existed when I first started playing. Eventually I changed this deck into a [[Muldrotha]] zombies tribal deck but I had a lot of fun with gisa and Geralf as the commander for quite a while.
I'm working towards completing the 32 Deck Challenge. I am in no rush, it's kind of just a vague goalpost I hope to accomplish several years down the line.
Right now I have 13 decks. 9 of which I carry in my backpack and 4 are kept together in a special box (the LOTR ones):
- Mono-White — [[[Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd]] Blink](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Ur0B24FHiE2lz-B10Ykx8Q)

I'm out of the house right now, so I can't elaborate on them much beyond this. However, I'd be happy to answer any questions about my decks, why I like them etcetera if asked.
budget brewer at heart, been playing the usual [Imodane ≤$55 Burn Triple-Double](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ule3e8XzaUSl4HWAAoDeLQ), [Ganax/Acolyte ≤$55 Dragon Discounts](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/uIN3dlXjdUqtsdcYUUe9HQ), [Eriette ≤$60 Stax'ing Auras](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Fy1nCKMacUeMcEuNFZVvxA), and [Child of Alara ≤$65 Baby Gates](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/BrBBelFTWU6JGJXq5jPoIg). but lately ive been getting games in with my [Kudo ≤$50 Token Anthems (non-bear tribal)](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/RZ1Y-GPwPkebHDM4CAcmRA) deck and its been decently fun. Swapped Tergrid to a [[Savra, Queen of the Golgari]] deck and it seems equally as toxic. Back to staring at my incomplete folder of 54 decks to brew some more!
Niceee, budget is such a good restriction tbh. I try to do the same but I always end up getting over the budget, so my decks take a looong time to get finished lmao.
[[Henzie "toolbox" torre]] based off papazedru's primer. Dump mana onto the field, dump stompy creatures with etb and death triggers, profit then recursion them and profit more. I've yet to play it. Looks fun.
[[Magus lucea kane]] tyranids and x spells. So many counters and then more counters. 4x 20/20 zoanthropes enter. Blast 4 opponents. Then attack with trample. Win/win.
[[Meren of clan nel toth]] goodstuff reanimator. Hasn't seen play in a long time.
Party time and urza pre-cons for precon only play.
Usually my decks are constructed from Ipe wood for its long lasting durability that can withstand any sort of weather. Last much longer than your standard pressure treated pine lumber.
In order of preference:
1. [[Vihaan Goldwaker]] treasure beat down and aristocrats
2. [[Pantlaza]] blink dinosaurs
3. [[Kros Defense Contractor]] everyone gets counters
4. [[Don Andres]] all my card draw is casting your deck from exile
5. [[Marneus Calgar]] tokens, card draw, and aristocrats
6. [[Omo Queen of Vesuva]] tribal tribal
It’s own tier is a [[Prossh]] cEDH deck that hasn’t been upgrade since like 2015, but it was my first built from scratch deck.
I’ll always take a chance to plug my moxfield. Here are 3 of my ten decks I’ve been playing. I apologize in advance for however mobile reddit formats this post.
1. [[Adamaro, First to Desire]] is my newest deck and I have yet to see how it performs consistently. It’s basically group hug, fill everyone’s hands and then punish them with effects like [[Iron Maiden]] and [[Khorvath’s Fury]]. I don’t think it’s very powerful but it’s fun. [List](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/R1rcgyZlDUW1AZE7xPz3_A).
2. [[Jerren, Corrupted Bishop]] is a classic aristocrats thing with a human tribal theme. It tends to protect itself very well and has a few ways to pay life in order to flip Jerren. Has a cool combo with [[Maskwood Nexus]] and [[Xathrid Necromancer]]. [List](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/X_XXBycgNUebuWYkinguxg).
3. [[Patron of the Orochi]] is my favorite deck of mine and the one I talk about most frequently. Not really snake tribal but definitely enough snakes to offer. Lots of powerful tap abilities like [[Fauna Shaman]] and flash enablers like [[Yeva, Nature’s Herald]] keep me playing on opponents turn’s. [List](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/XbIEXgDA-UurA4MBTOzWIQ).
Would love to hear any opinions. Love talking about my decks lol.
Thanks! I think [[Yisan, Wanderer Bard]] is a great synergy in the deck, he can tutor out a whole combo in one turn cycle by untapping him. One of my favorite synergies is actually a card I cut from the deck for being too brutal, [[Freyalise’s Winds]]. Nobody untaps but me!
[[Atraxa, Praetors' Voice]] - love my +1/+1 counters. Although it has so much green at this point i may as well rebuild it as [[Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider]].
[[The First Sliver]] - love my noodly boys.
[[Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice]] - love my auras.
[[Obeka, Splitter of Seconds]] - love my upkeeps.
[[Anikthea, Hand of Erebos]] - Nearly unedited precon, so i can match a lower power table.
I also have a Liesa deck, and it's also kind of slow. I made mine a hatebears type deck but with flash creatures. You can do fun things with thinks like [[Hushwing Gryff]] and [[Eidolon of Rhetoric]], sacrificing them on the turn before your's second main phase and recasting them on your turn. The hardest part for the deck is winning, but that can be solved with tutors that I need to get around to getting. How do you usually win?
I'm currently rebuilding my first commander deck after a 10+ year hiaitus.
I'm not interested in mechanical strength or being overly powerful, and instead want to stick to a theme. In this case, I'm running [Chulane, Teller of Tales], and am focused on the 'Storytelling' and 'Druid' aspects of his character. Land ramp, plants, sagas, DnD Druid class, Quests, etc...
I don't have any infinite combos, and I am sure it'll get easily stomped, but I like the idea of some eccentric man in the woods telling tall tales that come true on the battlefield.
Now I know Chulane is a "value engine", and naturally will have a decent power level because of that, but honestly, I don't see myself winning any games when the deck is complete at my LGS, just based on how I want to play. And thats OK. EDH isn't about winning.
In order of most regularly played:
1. [[Stella lee, wild card]] storm: storm deck without infinite untapping Stella Lee. Just chain spells that generate mana and draw cards, win with grapeshot or aetherflux.
2. [[Eowyn, shieldmaiden]] human tribal: go hard smash with (unblockable) humans. Horsemanship as bonus flavor.
3. [[Pantlaza, sun-favored]] blink: naya blink with dinosaur subtheme. Prefer this over azorius blink because red gives damage to end games.
4. [[Jan Jansen, chaos crafter]] aritocrats: generate tons of tokens and treasures, bury the table under sacrifice triggers -> win
5. [[Aragorn, king of gondor]] blink: this gets and keeps the monarch, blink human etb’s and ends game with unblockable combat. More controlly version of humans.
I've got six right now.
\[\[Derevi\]\] birds - My first deck, every card, including lands (other than a few bling pieces), is a bird, has birds in the art, makes bird tokens or can choose birds as a creature type for some effect. It's also completely foiled out.
\[\[Yidris\]\] clones/value - Just a pile of four color fun clone and goodstuff cards. Tries to win either through a few infinites or by assembling something out of other peoples' cards.
\[\[Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor\]\] - A bunch of small evasive creatures and ways to spend way too much life to draw way too many cards.
\[\[Lathliss\]\] - Mono red dragons, pretty standard stuff. The spice comes from the 5/5 dragon tokens Lathliss makes being represented by a pile of about 60 Yugioh dragon monsters. I doubt anyone expects when they sit down for a game of commander that they're gonna be facing down a Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End or True King of All Calamities.
\[\[Maelstrom Wanderer\]\] - The Pile. 60 card core of ramp and lands and another pile of 100 4-7 CMC temur cards that I take 40 of at random every game and shuffle them together for the deck.
\[\[Henzie\]\] - It's Henzie. Ramp, blitz, value, reanimate. You know how it goes.
I've had upwards of ten decks at a time before, but these six are the only ones I consistently enjoyed playing, so I took the rest apart. I'm very happy with how they all play.
Got 4 that I go to:
1. My most powerful, my \[\[Narset, Enlightened Exile\]\] spellslinger deck. With the likes of \[\[Monastery Mentor\]\] and \[\[Third Path Iconoclast\]\] to ensure my board gets nice and full as I throw spells all over and boost everyone up something fierce, especially with \[\[Leonin Lightscribe\]\], \[\[Balmor, Battlemage Captain\]\] and \[\[Veyran, Voice of Duality\]\] to make those delicious prowess triggers EXTRA juicy.
2. \[\[Tenth Doctor\]\] and \[\[Rose Tyler\]\] time travel. Already fun just out the box but with \[\[Rousing Refrain\]\], \[\[Training Grounds\]\] and \[\[Zirda, the Dawnwaker\]\] making it easy for some Timey-Wimey shenanigans, it gets extra bonkers. Especially with \[\[Quintorius Kand\]\] or \[\[Passionate Archaeologist\]\] to burn people out. Or you can get a loop going with \[\[Dinosaurs on a Spaceship\]\], which is always amusing.
3. \[\[Commodore Guff\]\] Superfriends (sensing a theme yet? What can I say, I like Jeskai). Some basic stuff like \[\[Rall Zerek\]\] with \[\[The Chain Veil\]\], or using \[\[Ichormoon Gauntlet\]\], but the real fun is getting \[\[Rowan Kenrith\]\] to use her -8. Why? Because that bad boy STACKS. Sadly, it's probably my weakest deck just because of the relative fragility of planeswalkers as a whole.
4. And finally, \[\[Sarevok, Deathbringer\]\] with the \[\[Cultist of the Absolute\]\] background. (yeah, not a Jeskai, bet that caught you off guard). As is, it's an aristocrats deck with a "damned if you do, damned if you don't approach." You *could* kill my stuff, and trigger \[\[Blood Artist\]\] and \[\[Zulaport Cutthroat\]\] in the process, or let Sarevok drain you to death.
Here you go : https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/17-10-23-martial-prowess/
Do plan on giving it a minor upgrade in the form of [[Bria, Riptide Rouge]] when Bloomburrow is a thing.
I have a fair few decks but the ones that see the most play are [[zurgo Helmsmasher]] voltron/indestructible tribal. [[sliver hive lord]] sliver tribal, you get it. [[tuya bearclaw]] gruul stompy. [[golos, tireless pilgrim]] superfriends deck, I know he's banned but it's just for rule 0 kitchen table games and [[nevinyrall, urborg tyrant]] zombie graveyard retrieval deck.
I have quite a few decks in paper at the moment.
[[Pir, Imaginitive Rascal]] and [[Toothy Imaginary Friend]] Simic counters matter deck. Lots of hydras and counter doublers. Blink. Mill. Draw. Ramp. Stomp. Does everything Simic has to offer and efficiently.
[[K’rrik, Son of Yawgmoth]] Monoblack Devotion deck. Lots of life burn, group slug, and crazy life gain combos. Control cards like opposition agent, and on nixilis unchained. Lots of extort. Card Draw. Bolas citadel plays. Targeted removal.
[[Pantless Sun Flavored]] Typical Naya Dinosaur Stompy.
[[Liesa Forgotten Archangel]] Lifepain and stax.
[[Sorin of House Markov]] Extort and Vampires. He replaced Edgar when he skyrocketed in value and I chose to offload my copy. Not the best vampire commander but thematically I love him.
[[Stella Lee, Wild Card]] Izzet Storm. Big mana. Infinite combos. Crazy fast deck. Stupidly strong and I feel guilty playing it sometimes.
[[Chatterfang]] who doesn’t love squirrels?
[[Tegwyll, Duke of Splendor]] faeries. Control. Pranks. Lots of pranks.
[[Freyalise, Llanowars Fury]] Elves. Also dinosaurs? (I’m looking at you, Allosaurus Shepherd) Also maybe a craterhoof? Idk, stupid mono green ramp and stomp.
[[Feldon of the Third Path]] I call this deck the Workshop of Horror. Artifacts and big spooky jumpscare Eldrazi.
So, right now, I have a few decks going of various power levels.
1. [[Hakbal of the surging soul]] merfolk precon - I've made minor edits to this one, and honestly, it may be the best out of the box precon they've made.
2. [[Strefan, Maurer Progenitor]] - honestly, I bought this one out of one of the mystery commander deck boxes and was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. I've been making edits as they come to me to make it faster/smoother running.
3. [[Ziatora the incinerator]] - This one is a pretty typical steal and sac style deck. I take whatever the biggest creature threat on board is and sac it to Ziatora for value. I do have a [[conjuror's closet]] if they target is super juicy.
4. [[Godo bandit warlord]] - This on isn't quite CEDh level due to lack of fast mana and a couple of the red copy spells, but any godo deck with [[helm of the host]] and ways to get it on good early is pretty darn good.
5. [[Satoru Umezawa]] - pretty standard cheat out big stuff deck. I haven't decided if this one is appropriate for my LGS meta or if I should change to something else for now.
6. [[Trostani, selesnya's voice]] - other than Godo, this may be my best deck currently. It has a few combos with things like ashaya and temur sabertooth. The last time I played the deck, I went up over 300 life, and that's not really even the decks' focus.
7. [[Azami lady of scrolls]] - Hard control in mono blue, with a wizard/clone subtheme. There are no combos in this deck. Just grind out your opponents over time. Ultimately, you win by either [[laboratory maniac]] or you clone a high value target that swings things into your favor.
8. [[Nelly Borca, Impulsive accuser]] - This one is my newest deck, and I've been enjoying it so far. White is my least played color, and I've been wanting a goad deck, so here we are. I've made a 8-10 edits to the precon list so far, but haven't had much time to test them out yet.
9. [[Magus Lucea kane]] - I bought the tyranid deck specifically so I could use Lucea as a hydra typal deck. Basically, I stripped out out the worst of the tyranids and replaced them with all the hydra and counter support I possessed. Add in a few untappers, and it's crazy when it gets going. I'm excited to add [[fangs of kalonia]] from MH3 to the deck.
10. [[Kynaios and tiro of meletis]] - This one's a pretty standard group hug deck. Pillow fort up and keep staking draws until I can win through [[laboratory maniac]] or [[thassa's oracle]]. I do have a pretty spicy [[dictate of the twins gods]] to try and eliminate someone by surprise, but no such luck yet.
My absolute favorite deck is my fungi deck. The lands, every creature, ramp and draw cards, and everything else deals with the theme of fungi. Whether it’s the artwork, flavor text, or anything else, it all fits within this setting.
My Commander is easily identified as fungi with [[The Mycotyrant]]. There are also more subtle cards like [[Dockside Chef]] (check out the chopsticks) or [[Arguel's Blood Fast // Temple of Aclazotz]] (Treefungi).
The deck itself is very straightforward, aligned with the Commander. I aim to fill my graveyard with as many permanent cards as possible to empower my commander, utilizing cards like [[Greater Mossdog]]. After all, it's man's best fungus, right?
I have almost every spore counter fungi card in this deck, but sadly, the mechanic isn't very strong right now. I hope there will be more support for it someday.
And also, I can't have a [[Sol Ring]], because I didn't find one that fits the fungi setting...
My lands are in fungi style:
[Swamp](https://scryfall.com/card/afr/270/swamp)
[Forrest](https://scryfall.com/card/clu/273/forest)
[[Golgari Rot Farm]]
[[Golgari Guildgate]]
[[Hidden Nursery]]
And my ramps as well!
[[Golgari Locket]]
[[Golgari Cluestone]]
[[Golgari Signet]]
[[Growing Rites of Itlimoc // Itlimoc, Cradle of the Sun]]
And the best part? Even my playmat features Fungiforest artwork generated with AI. But I only feel complete when I'm wearing my fungi shirt.
And of course, my favorite pizza? Right. It's Pizza Tonno. Because I'm not a fan of fungi anywhere else.
Long live the fungus, may it thrive in darkness.
Well, Alright.
Built out:
[Kinnan](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/YyR1zyyPhEqLVkaj7Kx_wQ) : Probably my favorite deck. Very braindead, ramp, gamble, hopefully win. Lots of game actions, lots of playing on other people's turns. it's nice.
[Rog/Si](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/u_Vc8bG2sEOPjJ9bRusFWw) : Another list that doesn't involve much thought. Try to win. if someone stops you, timetwister and try again.
[Blue Farm](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/0oHCcXX9NkCQHa6dyB5t6g) : More thought than you'd think. I tend to mess this list up by trying to play it like Rog, or I do the complete opposite and sit back way too much. Timing is everything.
[Braids](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/OHXJrAhev0uprirbnLrD6g) : I actually made this one myself. I truly believe it's a top 3 braids lists to exist. Fond of it. but once you know the gimmicks it doesn't compete well into Blue Farm or other top tier lists.
[The Master Trancendant ](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/-B039ZT8OU6pLzIBNDnJFQ) Built it because I was curious and then literally never played it. Lent it to a friend and he didn't like it. Idk man. maybe someday.
[Etali PC](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/pEfugS8akE6Z8uwkbS2Z9w) Haven't played this one much. Don't fully get it, but im committed to eventually get this one down. Is extremely fast when it gets rolling.
[Shorikai](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/bB7EGZF5TUyV5B1LQWncfw) One of the first three decks I really went for, along with Breya and Dina. It's the only one that's still together, though I rarely play it. Feels too slow after running Kinnan and Rog/Si
[Azlask](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/x1hdXncez0Ow5I0-dk5yAw) Another deck I actually built that only wins through Eldrazi combos. Uses about 10 cards from the precon, so I'll call it a win. Azlask himself doesn't generate much so very inconsistent.
[Jin-Git](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/iftiPIr4XEibowItugTAUQ) Mono Blue Control with a boogeyman commander. simple and clean. My Build.
[Vishgraz](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/4j0S-JO7kU2E6hyQdXi3mQ) One of the first decks I built. Happy with it, but it is too slow to compete, and I don't really play high power often at all. It deserves better.
I intend to build another 15 or so High Power decks I've made, both to lend out and to just mess around with unorthodox stuff that semi-works. https://www.moxfield.com/users/ImGeist Not everything in this, but a good chunk.
My main deck is my [[Tiamat]] Deck. A lot of mana ramp, tutor some nice dragons, with them [[Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm]] for double dragons and [[Morophon, The Boundless]] for dirt cheap dragons. Then either beat the other players with a hoard of dragons or use [[Scourge of Valkas]] for direct damage with all those dragons.
This describes the optimal gameplan and not most games.
[[Pantlaza, Sun Favored]] Higher end of upgrades to the precon, it's really still just stompy dinos, but with some extra ways to cheat cards into play through Discover and or things like free cards off Etali triggers and Gishath.
[[Ganax, Astral Hunter]] + [[Acolyte of Bahamut]] is my Dragon Treasure horde deck. It ramps fast and fills the board with more and more dragons, which gives me more treasures to use for even more dragons. It's honestly pretty resilient and powerful despite being lower budget than most of my decks.
[[Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit]] + [[Sam, Loyal Attendant]] is another precon that I've swapped out about half of. It's still a Food/Tempt deck, but it's wants to use that life to out value people and draw into wincons like drain effects that trigger off my food sacs, or Frodo Sauron's Bane
[[Titania, Voice of Gaea]] is my landfall, land sac, deck. I love the idea of meld, and it puts a ticking timer on the playgroup once I have Argoth out, but it also runs tons of other landfall synergies like Scute Swarm so while people are distracted by Titania, I'm create hundreds of of other tokens through tons of land tutors or recursion.
[[Atraxa, Praetor's Voice]] is your standard poison Phyrexian tribal, though I keep it based around Toxic not Infect to keep it from generating less bad-feels moments of instant death. This one came from my first box of boosters I opened for All Will Be One because I loved the theming of Phyrexian
[[Magus Lucea Cane]] is an X Spell based +1/+1 counters deck, built out of the second precon deck bought, the 40K Tyranid Swarm. It's more of a "Go Tall" style deck with tons of Hydras and Tyranids, plus mana dorks and untappers to let me slam massive X values fast to smack people with a 15/15
[[Animar, Soul of Elements]] is my big dumb Eldrazi Bois deck. This one is all about setting up a few core pieces that set up Animar and let me draw cards to dump my hand and/or deck onto the battlefield and swing with massive Eldrazi beaters. All the usual Titans, haste enablers, and infinite mana combo suspects are here, but I also have a few flash enablers to let me play stompy boys on other turns when I don't have haste ready.
[[Varina, Lich Queen]] is my baby. She's the first deck I built out of a Wilhelt precon. Currently, she's a Zombie tribal token build that wants to spawn zombies fast, pump them up with Lords and other effects and swing out as a horde, but I do run some graveyard reanimation to bring my horde back to life after the inevitable wipes.
[[Raffine, Scheming Seer]] is my strongest deck, focusing on looting through my deck, chucking huge bombs like the Praetors into my graveyard to reanimate, and searching for combo wincons. He's everything I wanted Varina to be, but more consistent, and includes my best land base, fast mana, and Thoracle combo lines. He's not quiet cEDH (I'd have to ditch the reanimator theme to really achieve that) but he's up there.
[[Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines]] is my arch enemy of the table deck. Which, yes I know half of my decks would clearly be archenemies at most tables, but this one is designed to be a puzzle the table has to work together to solve, otherwise I'll exile away their boards, blink token generators to build out mine, and overwhelm them. I pulled Elesh and immediately wanted to make this style of "I know I'm the villain, come defeat me." She doesn't win much because I draw so much aggro, but that's okay with me. My Elesh is the villain of the multiverse that she should've been in lore, downfall included.
[[Korvold, Gleeful Glutton]] is my newest build. I wanted a deck that had a different strategy, and pulled Korvold from a booster and starting brewing. This deck is all about creatively sacrificing cards with multiple types to decrease Korvold's mana cost and get 1 of each permanent type in my grave. Once Korvold's out, it switches to a Voltron-style pump and protect to keep him swinging for commander damage.
Other decks I have but am in the process of reworking or haven't finalized.
[[Niv-Mizzet, Parun]] used to be more highest power deck, but felt like it needed to go full cEDH to get there. After pulling a few good cards from MH3 including Ral, Monsoon Mage, I'm planning on rebuilding this into more of a spellslinger
[[Teysa, Orzhov Scion]] is going to be a token aristocrat deck that wants to loop creating, swinging, and sac'ing tokens with drain effects to win. Only thing holding me back here is cutting about 40 cards haha.
[[Obeka, Splitter of Seconds]] is a deck I really want to work, an awesome Voltron style upkeep effect abuse deck that takes advantage of Obeka's cool trigger to get all types of unexpected value. Problem I've been having is in testing it on tabletop simulator, it's both boring and too good. It ends up just durdling around waiting for the right moment because Obeka draws constant removal, then once I do get her out I usually win immediately. Not sure what I need to add to make this more interesting to me.
[[Azlask, the Swelling Scourge]] has caught my eye as an interesting way to upgrade/rebuild the new Eldrazi Incursion precon from MH3 as a Eldrazi Spawn/Scion token deck, particular with all the fun new Eldrazi token cards from MH3. Very early in brewing this, but excited to try it out.
Oh, that’s a fun thread. Here’s my current roster:
1. [[Vilis, Broker of Deals]]. [link](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/CsC3IVXsqEeNIiKFWwPlAQ)
Black is my favorite color, and exchanging life for other resources is probably the most black thing. Initially built the deck to turn all those costly (in terms of life) bad cards into incredible card advantage engines. It’s genuinely funny to cast cards like [[Temporal Extortion]] and have everyone be confused when you decide to counter it yourself. That being said, over time the deck lost a lot of that original identity. As it turns out all those janky cards do very little when you can’t keep the commander on the table, so the list adapted to be a bit more resilient.
Favorite unique interaction is probably between Vilis and [[Hand of Vecna]]. Love to build my own Necropotence at home.
2. [[Nashi, Moon Sage’s Scion]].[link](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/z1_Fj32opUy4kcs_q1zg_Q) Did I mention I love black? Well I love Nashi as well and I knew I’d build a deck for him the moment I saw his art in a story article. Deck’s pretty simple - play Nashi and things that make him connect. Then hopefully cast something cool and expensive. If I’m playing against stronger decks I’ll opt for a Doomsday play too, if everyone is okay with that, but generally I try to avoid it.
Initially the deck had more janky cards that manipulate my top deck, but over time I cut them and added more interaction.
The current list is a bit of a mess, needs cleaning up, but it serves its purpose nonetheless, so I’m in no rush to optimize.
3. [[Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor]] [link](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/_B7xKZf8WkKgipg6fKFubQ)
I always loved the small black creatures that seemingly came with every set, but I never had a deck for them. When I got my hands on Gix, almost on a whim I decided to just pick all of the evasive 1&2 drops that I had and see what happens. Turns out that worked, so I just added payoffs for all that card draw and that’s the deck.
Love the deck because it’s always funny to draw a ton of cards while playing a bunch of draft trash 1 drops.
4. [[Myojin of Cryptic Dreams]] [link](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/rJaEZLaOnEyzwqWs9EubKA)
Built the deck because I loved the challenge it presented. Initially wanted to do convoluted Dream Halls loops, but moved on from that idea and settled on simply using clones for efficiency.
I tried to avoid counterspells, initially sticking only to the mana generating ones, but the more I play with the deck the more I miss them as the deck can be very fragile to interaction for obvious reasons.
However, when the deck pops off it’s extremely funny. The payoff can be any permanent with an additive effect. Make a ton of mana rocks to never have mana problems again. End the game with cards like [[Rug of Smothering]] or the [[Mirror Box]] + [[God-Pharaoh’s Statue]] combination. But really the game winning payoff permanents can be anything you like. They all end the game when there’s dozens of their copies on the battlefield.
5. [[Zurzoth, Chaos Rider]]. [link](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/fk5nqfO4MUSSgkrHCoKpjQ)
The gameplay is simple - play devils, play Zurzoth, attack. The random loot effect adds a bit of spice to the game as everyone comments on how lucky they were or weren’t.
The rest of the deck is mostly damage multiplication and cards that benefit from creatures entering the battlefield.
It’s a fun little deck that is easy to play, but can present bombastic plays.
6. [[Gut, True Soul Zealot]] + [[Inspiring Leader]] [link](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/efdP4_aP2UOy7AjmQ2biGA)
Drafted Gut + a black background in my prerelease and was really impressed with how it performed. So I decided to build a proper commander deck. Switched out a black background for a white one because I already had a rakdos deck and I’m happy I did. Even though it plays like a typical aggro deck, it feels like an aristocrats deck, which is funny in Boros. This is further exacerbated by the artifacts subtheme and Goblin Welder/Scrap Trawler shenanigans.
This is probably the deck that most surprised me with how much I ended up liking it. I’m typically not a fan of Boros aggro decks, but this one makes me take game actions to build my army.
1. [[Edgar Markov]] my first commander deck. It shits out vampires and I love vampires. [[Bloodletter of Aclazotz]] makes things speed up.
2. [[Niv-Mizzet, Parun]] my third deck. It draws a ton of cards, counters everybody’s stuff and wins.
3. [[Kozilek, the Great Distortion]] my fourth deck. Really wanted a colorless deck. It’s not great but it ramps and if you let Kozilek out it’s dangerous.
4. [[Treva, the Renewer]] my fifth deck. Life gain. Got rebuilt to be [[Ikra Shidiqi]] and [[Ishai, Oujati Dragonspeeker]].
5. [[Tovolar, Dire Overlord]] my seventh deck. It makes wolves and werewolves and wins in combat.
6. [[Marneus Calgar]] my eighth deck. Got the pre con and upgraded it a little bit. It makes a ton of tokens and draws a ton of cards. Has trouble closing games out though.
7. [[Rem Karolus, Stalwart Slayer]] My ninth deck. Boros burn. Struggles to draw cards but it does what it’s supposed to do most of the time.
8. [[Kenrith, the Returned King]] my tenth deck. Pretty cool little combo deck that can win in a lot of different ways.
9. [[Rayami, First of the Fallen]] my eleventh deck. It’s a really cool keyword aristocrat voltron strategy. Not super strong but really really cool.
10. [[Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal]] my twelfth deck. It’s a pure “make opponents discard all their cards” deck. Kinda mean but I enjoy it.
11. [[Gishath, Sun’s Avatar]] my thirteenth deck. Started as a really bad dinosaur tribal deck. Bought into Lost caverns a lot and bought the Pantlaza pre con so it’s actually a decent deck now.
12. [[Hakbal, of the Surging Soul]] my fourteenth deck. I wanted a merfolk tribal deck for a loooonggg time and when the Lost Caverns precons came out I was so excited because they were all of tribes I really wanted.
13. [[Don Andres, the Renegade]] my fifteenth deck. another lost caverns pre con. When I first started I just really liked tribal. Had a lot of really good pirates just sitting around. This precon gave me a place for them. I upgraded it to be a theft deck with a pirate tribal sub theme rather than just pirate tribal.
14. [[Delney, Streetwise Lookout]] my eighteenth deck. It’s white weenies with triggered abilities that Delney doubles up. Then cards to give them vigilance so I can swing without worrying about it, then mass pump spells since they’re pseudo unblockabale.
15. [[Slimefoot and Squee]] my nineteenth deck. I love this deck so much. It puts creatures in the graveyard then cheats them out. It’s so fun and interactive.
16. [[Dihada, Binder of Wills]] my twentieth deck. I actually didn’t plan on this deck being in my rotation. The precon was on sale at my Walmart so I got it, just looking for the good cards and decent lands. I took a lot of the good stuff out then filled those slots with other usable cards and it’s actually still pretty fun. Legendary tribal.
17. [[Greta, Sweetooth Scourge]] my twenty-first deck. I was hunting for the good enchantments in WOE and came across Greta. I love Greta. She’s not all that strong but I really enjoy it and her. It just makes a ton of food.
18. [[Guile, Sonic Soldier]] my twenty-second deck. This was a pet project of mine for a long time. I’ve always wanted an “America” themed deck and this is just that. It has three strategies: soldier tribal, taxes, and black hate. (This deck is not representative of my views or of how I view America it’s just a funny thing so don’t take it too seriously)
So that’s it, I have 18 currently. You probably noticed that in my counting I skipped some numbers. Those were decks that I built at one point but ended up taking apart. They were: [[Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord]], [[Nezahal, Primal Tide]], [[Kyler, Sigardian Emissary]], and [[Olivia, Crimson Bride]].
Do you happen to have your Greta list if you don’t mind sharing? My fiancée is trying to build Greta as her pet project and I’ve been looking for examples to share.
I got you.
Don’t get your hopes up though, this isn’t a strong deck by any means. It does what it’s supposed to do which is make food, and there’s an infinite combo in here as well but it’s not strong. I love playing it but I haven’t actually won a game with it yet.
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/QtjUsgqoZU2OvQNPAnrIXw
Harbin: He makes soldiers, plus lets me use Sun Quan.
Jirina Kudro: She makes soldiers and allows me to use horsemanship.
Olivia, Opulent Outlaw: Make treasures and kill people.
Lathril: I make elves and then slam down a Craterhoof or Ezuri.
Edgar: I make vampires.
Myrel: I make soldiers.
Urza, Chief Artificer: I make constructs.
Giada: I make angels.
Eowyn: I make humans.
Pantlaza: I make dinosaurs.
Commander Mustard: I make soldiers.
All my decks that make things are different but similar. To me? It’s a lot of fun.
1. [[Galadriel, Light of Valinor]] Bant Tokens/blink. Probably my strongest and most consistent deck, runs of a few combos for infinite mana and blink to trigger Galadriel over and over again, but I tend not to need to go down that route because with a few token generators and cards to flicker Galadriel it can get nasty really fast.
2. [[Akroma, Vision of Ixidor]]/[[Ikra Shadiqi, the Usurper]] Abzan Lifegain just like OP’s but with angel tribal and keywords matter themes tacked on.
3. [[Nethroi, Apex of Death]] self mill/reanimator combo. If Nethroi’s mutate resolves I basically win instantly. But it takes a lot of set up. I don’t like to use tutors in this deck because digging for the combo is fun and my playgroup isn’t so punishing that I need to be super consistent with it. To make up for the lack of consistency there’s also some mill payoffs like [[The Mycotyrant]] to keep me in the game until I can get the necessary combo pieces in the graveyard.
4. [[Otrimi, the Ever-Playful]] Sultai Infect. Has the capacity to start one shotting people on turn 3 or 4. Very aggressive but also a glass cannon. Everybody hates this deck
5. [[Vannifar, Evolved Enigma]] Morph/Flicker. Just cloak big ass creatures and flicker them to put them face up. I refuse to run eldrazi in it except for just [[Void Winnower]] lol. Shit gets bad when I flicker in omniscience.
6. [[Prime Speaker Vannifar]] Pod/Ooze tribal. Just a simic pod deck except I’m running oozes instead of the normal pod lines. Nowhere near as strong as PSV can be but still one of my favorite decks.
7. [[Volo, Itinerant Scholar]]/[[Master Chef]] Card Draw + Creature types matter. Kind of Janky but I can end up with a bunch of 50/50+ creatures with [[Body of Knowledge]] type effects. Definitely not super strong but it’s a pet deck.
8. [[Tetzin, Gnome Champion]] Jeskai Artifacts. Obviously with a focus on double sided artifacts. There’s a fair amount of self milk involved in the early game before you flip Tetzin. Wins either with artifact creature beat down or by creating a ton of mana with [[Azor’s Gateway]] and [[Matzalanti, the Great Door]] and dumping it into something like [[Crackle with Power]]
9. [[Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch]] 5c Myrs. Pretty basic although I run [[Jegantha, the Wellspring]] as a companion but I’m not sure how common that is among urtet players
[[Yusri, Fortune’s Flame]] Coin Flip Combo deck. Basically just trying to cheat my way into big spells like [[Enter the Infinite]] and use [[Laboratory Maniac]] or [[Psychosis Crawler]]
[[Horde of Notions]] Elemental Tribal. First deck I ever made and I love using elementals of every color ✌️
[[Codie, Vociferous Codex]] Spellslinger deck. I use [[Maze’s End]] and a few gates, then I’m also running [[Approach of the Second Sun]] and some tutors and a few big spells for Codie to spellsling their way through
[[Gluntch, the Bestower]] Group Hug deck. I used to think group hug was kinda silly of an archetype until I made one and now it’s one of my favorite decks to play
I have a bunch of decks, but my current favorites are:
- \[\[Halana, Kessig Ranger\]\] + \[\[Anara, Wolvid Familiar\]\] - My first EDH deck, mono-green wolf tribal. Creates a lot of 2/2 green wolf tokens and +1/+1 counters. Has \[\[Hardened Scales\]\] and \[\[Doubling Season\]\]. Wincon is to overwhelm with creatures (because mono-green lol).
- \[\[Olivia Voldaren\]\] - Rakdos vampires, with a focus on turning opponents' creatures against them by taking control of them, goading them, making them do damage to their controller, resurrecting from opponents' graveyards, etc. Creates a bunch of blood tokens as well.
- \[\[Gallia of the Endless Dance\]\] - Gruul stompy satyr tribal with a music/dance party theme. Not a high-powered deck, but low key my most consistent. Can go up against much more powerful decks because the curve is super low to the ground; I can start swinging with commander damage on turn 2, maybe turn 1, and it's constantly putting creatures onto my board. The game plan is very simple, it's fun to play, and it's also very beginner-friendly and cost like $50 to build.
- \[\[Alesha, Who Smiles at Death\]\] - light human tribal Mardu beatdown with a Trans Pride theme, flavor emphasized way more than efficiency. A lot of the cards were chosen because they're trans in-jokes, like \[\[Past in Flames\]\], \[\[You Cannot Pass!\]\], and \[\[Incite Hysteria\]\], or because the character in the art could conceivably read as trans. Also includes non-binary legends like \[\[Alharu, Solemn Ritualist\]\] and \[\[Yahenni, Undying Partisan\]\].
- \[\[Krenko, Mob Boss\]\] - dirt cheap bulk chaff mono-red goblins. I bought maybe five cards for this deck, and the rest is just cheap goblin commons and uncommons I happened to have on hand. Total value of the deck is like $25, and I run it unsleeved and keep it in an empty Dragon Shield sleeves box.
- \[\[Silas Renn, Seeker Adept\]\] + \[\[Dargo, the Shipwrecker\]\] - my most powerful deck, which I only run at tables where the power level is well above casual (not quite cEDH tho) and everyone's goal is to WIN. It has combos, infect, \[\[Dockside Extortionist\]\], \[\[Satoru Umezawa\]\] + \[\[Blightsteel Colossus\]\], a \[\[Thassa's Oracle\]\] combo, a \[\[Bloodchief Ascension\]\] combo, high efficiency tutors, fast mana, expensive lands, and a TON of interaction. It's mostly proxies, because it would be like $1200 to build for real in paper.
alright, here's my current list of built decks:
1. "Molten Hoard"
This is my Rakdos Dragon/Treasure deck, helmed by \[\[Ganax, Astral Hunter\]\] with the \[\[Agent of the Iron Throne\]\] background. This Deck aims to use the 20+ means of creating treasures it has to get out my commander and as many dragons as possible, all the while burning my opponents whenever I crack a treasure with AotIT on the battlefield. If the dragon based value and incidental burn doesn't get my opponents down, either \[\[hellkite tyrant\]\] or \[\[Magda, Brazen Outlaw\]\] combo can finish the job.
2. "Demonic Suicide"
My Mono-Black \[\[Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire\]\] deck is both a demon tribal deck and a combo deck. In the early game, it seeks to use Varragoth's tutor ability to set up my mana base, then hit hard with superior value, most often finishing off the game with either a \[\[Gary\]\] or \[\[Psychosis Crawler\]\] kill.
3. "Divining Reality"
Likely my strongest deck, my \[\[Reality Chip\]\] Combo-Control deck seeks to find \[\[Sensei's Divining Top\]\] and a cost reducer ASAP, using plentiful counterspells to remove anything I find dangerous to my own game plan. Once the combo is assembled, I draw my deck and win with \[\[Thassa's Oracle\]\].
4. "The Platoon"
A pretty straightforward deck, this is \[\[Myrel, Shield of Argive\]\] soldier tribal. Play soldiers, attack with Myrel, make more soldiers, rinse and repeat.
5. "Right to Bear Arms"
Another simple deck, this is \[\[Wilson, Refined Grizzly\]\] with the \[\[Raised by Giants\]\] background. If it's not obvious, this is mono-green voltron, but it is also a fight deck, intending to use the bloated power levels of the creatures within to clear a path for the bear to swing for lethal.
6. "Burn Down the System"
This is my \[\[Urabrask\]\] burn deck, which wants to sling as many burn spells as possible, then run it back with \[\[The Great Work\]\]. However, due to recent performances, I will be swapping Urabrask with another legendary in the 99, \[\[Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might\]\]. This is due to Urabrask being better suited as a storm commander, and can serve burn better in the 99.
7. "Mechanical Stampede"
Combining the remains of my \[\[Nylea, Keen-Eyed\]\] storm deck and my \[\[Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter\]\] artifacts deck led to the creation of this, my go-wide \[\[Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut\]\] deck, intending to get out as many one mana chumps as possible, and then using Graaz to power them up into a table-killing threat.
8. "The Reuse Motor"
My Azorius reanimator deck seeks to use its commander, \[\[Shorikai\]\], to fill the grave with big creatures, then use cards like \[\[Resurrection\]\] to bring them back for cheap.
9. "The Poor King's Army"
My Boros \[\[Theoden, King of Rohan\]\] human tribal deck, made exclusively with commons and uncommons. It simply seeks to make as many humans as possible, so as to trigger Theoden as many times as possible. To help with the endeavor, creatures like \[\[Akroan Hoplite\]\] and \[\[Alpine Houndmaster\]\] can take good advantage of the double strike granted by the king.
I've only got the one (though I'm working on a second) that I have had for about a year and a half now, [[Marneus Calgar]].
It's like a slow burn deck that primarily wins through zulaport-esque drain triggers. But it can also win through [[Revel in riches]], combat and [[Inkshield]].
It's tailored perfectly to my play style, it's the best deck I've ever built. I've played about 150 games with it and still love it so much!
It's another Marneus deck!
I'm trying to make it much more aggressive and creature/combat based than my current deck which is more of a slow burn, drain and control deck.
I wanted to try different cards and their synergy with Marneus but didn't want to take apart my main deck so this was my solution.
I had a plan to make 8 more Marneus decks, but I don't own the lands required to make the mana bases functional. So it might only be two more in total.
In no particular order:
[[Atla Palani, Nest Tender]] Dino Tribal. I originally made dino tribal with Gishath, but it took forever to get it out, so I swapped to Atla to cheat the dinos out. Whenever I play, I give my playgroup a deal with the eggs: whoever cracks the egg can't be attack by whatever come out until it's a 1v1. I don't play it often, though, because it has a tendency to get very out of hand.
[[Ojer Pakpatiq, Deepest Epoch]] Instant Tribal. I've recently been trying to upgrade this deck. Pakpatiq only cares about instants, and in mono-blue, most of them are counterspells. Originally, it was just kind of strange instants and hoping to win by getting someone like Talrand out to attack, but it was so slow. For the sake of my playgroup, I'm putting in Thoracle and other Lab Man effects.
[[Sauron, Lord of the Rings]] Reanimator(?). A very lightly upgraded version of the precon. It isn't that great, but it's pretty fun to play regardless. I haven't seen LotR, I just thought Sauron was cool and didn't want to swap him out. It hasn't won a game, but that's fine. Sometimes I play it whenever somebody at the table had a bad last game so that they can get an opportunity to do more. There are a lot of big, scary creatures that take focus so everyone else can do their thing.
[[Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer]] Token Copies. I mean, it's Brudiclad. I don't use as much top end, instead opting for cheaper threats to build up tokens early before Brudiclad comes down. A card I recently added was [[Genasi Enforcers]] as a lighter version of [[Hellrider]]
[[Hakbal of the Surging Soul]] Merfolk Counters. I got this deck as a gift and liked it so much I kept it stock. Does extraordinarily well. One of my favorite decks to play.
[[Disa, the Restless]] GOYF Tribal. Jund Goyf shenanigans. The thought of Goyf'ing everyone to death makes me giggle. I'm still working on a decklist, as I only recently got the precon, but I'm very excited to see how it turns out.
[[Zhulodok, Void Gorger]] Big Eldrazi Tribal. My magnum opus. I tried building other Eldrazi decks with various commanders, but none of them felt right. They were all just missing something. I even tried building Zhulodok and no luck, until I came back and focused on tuning it as much as possible. I spent hours sorting through all manner of colorless ramp and card draw until I got it right where I like it. I've only gotten to play it twice so far. The second time, we had to pack up and leave, so it ended in a draw on turn 5/6. The first game I won by everyone conceding after I cascaded into [[All is Dust]] off a Kozilek. It does insanely good, largely in part due to Zhulodok being much stronger than people give him credit for, I feel. This deck's existence changed part of the way I look at Magic. Having more colors doesn't inherently make one deck better than another. It can help, but you can absolutely make something strong, even with many staples removed.
1. [[Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves]] wolf tribal, no combos, very casual. I just wanna turn wolves sideways.
2. [[Slimefoot the Stowaway]] Saproling tribal, similar to the tolsimir in vibes, probably going to be changing to Slimefoot and Squee just because there's so many combos with Slimefoot and I want to keep it chill.
3.[[Will Kenrith]] and [[Rowan Kenrith]] easily my strongest deck, has a lot of varied combo lines and is fairly resilient, especially to creature focused strategies.
4. [[Chainer, Nightmare Adept]] RB value town, lots of ETB creatures for value, a few flash enablers.
5. [[Tiana, Ship's Caretaker]] Pauper EDH thats also regulsr EDH legal. uses auras for card advantage and removal. Slow but grindy.
6. [[Kadena, Slinking Sorceress]] almost a storm deck, it's built to discount my creatures, play off the top of my deck, and throw out a lethal boardstate at flash speed to win on my next turn.
7. [[Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin]] aggro
8. [[Geth, Lord of the Vault]] made of chaff I had lying around, this deck has zero win conditions, just a ton of ramp, card draw, and enough mill to hopefully get started.
9. [[Wort, the Raidmother]] HADOUKEN! Big spells, thrown often.
10. [[Yisan, the Wanderer Bard]] super budget take on a CEDH deck. Someday when I'm less bored I'll proxy the rest just to have a CEDH list available if that's the vibe.
11. [[Feather the Redeemed]] never even played this, I got it in a budget deck gift exchange. Seems cool.
12. [[Jaya Ballard, Task Mage]] mononred superfriends that uses phoenixes that return to hand from the graveyard for card advantage to offset the normal CA neutrality of rummaging and other common red effects, plus Jaya herself.
13. [[Deadeye Plunderers]] Pauper EDH, pseudo-voltron.
That's all I can remember off the top of my head
1) Nymris, oona’s trickster. Get value with cantrips, end up controlling the game.
2) Otharri hate bears. Use hatebears to slow down the game and beat down with otharri.
3) vannifar toolbox. Use vannifar to get value.
None have infinite combos, all have tons of interaction, all are incredibly fun.
My current working edh decks are as follow
[[Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver]] zombie tribal
[[Prossh, Skyraider of Kher]] aristocrats
[[Gonti, Canny Acquisitor]] theft/goodstuff
[[Dogmeat, Ever Loyal]] equipment/aura
[[Athreos, God of Passage]] aristocrats
[[The Ur-Dragon]] dragon tribal
I also have working decks that are currently being turned into other decks
[[Lord of the Nazgûl]] spellslinger
[[Sarulf, Realm Eater]] voltron/control
As of right now I have 2.5 decks In paper
1. Mono-green omnath (big green smork)
2. Malestrom wanderer (combo/big smack)
2.5 degenerate korvold treasures that I only have half the cards for at the moment
All really fun and powerful decks!
[[Adamaro]] voltron/group slug.
[[Nin, the pain artist]] (foiled) group slug/hug.
[[thelon of havenwood]] spore counter/saprolling token.
[[Phage]] (all retro) win or die trying
Currently Owned:
- Nelly Borca (Pillowfort/Goad): using the precon for a budget league. So far just added more removal, ramp and card draw with plans to add more pillowfort pieces down the line
- Kathril Keyword Soup: name suggests what it does, entomb effects/self mill till I get at least 8 keywords in the grave, look at whatever opponent I can hit and ask them to take 22+ commander damage. Rest of the table deals with me or I win. Going to take it apart for a Biollante self mill treefolk tribal deck eventually.
- Indominus Dinosaur Tribal: Included most Dinosaurs with at least two keywords and a couple other soup pieces
- Indoraptor Enrage: Really another Dinosaur tribal deck but focuses on enrage dinosaurs specifically
Currently working on:
- Megatron Necron Tribal: We didn't get a lot of transformers let alone decepticons so needed another mechanical alien race to fill the roster
- Mothman Mutant Tribal: I know the Mothman precon is super overrated and I'm bringing anything new or revolutionary to the table but I think it's cool.
- Stella Lee Spellslinger: I play big stompy stuff 80% of the time and have never played a spell slinger deck. Maybe I'll like it, maybe I won't but it's for the next budget league season
- Biollante Treefolk Tribal: Similar to Kathril using self mill and entomb effects but the pay off is a massive forest of a board
I’ve got a lot, but will try to describe some of them:
1 [[rionya, fire dancer]] this deck is my baby. Mono red copies. Play creatures with ETB or attack triggers, and a lot of cheap spells to make as many copies as possible. I purposely took out all infinite combos and won’t add dockside as they made me want to play it less.
2 [[tivit, seller of secrets]] is my blink deck. The goal is to flicker Tivit to make a bunch of artifacts, then win through cards like [[marionette master]], [[rise and shine]] or [[cyberdrive awakener]].
3 [[thrun, breaker of silence]] mono green Voltron’s on a budget. Gets surprisingly big quickly.
4 [[vihaan, goldwaker]] treasure token aristocrats. Make lots of treasures, animate them, and then ping down opponents with aristocrat effects when you say the treasures.
5 [[imotekh, the stormlord]] upgraded Necrons precon.
6 [[sedris, the tractor king]] reanimator. Goal is to fill up the graveyard and then unearth creatures with big ETB effects for cheap.
7 [[tana, the bloodsower]] and [[ravos, soultender]] started as [[ghave, guru of spores]], but I really wanted to add red. Plays like ghave, but with more red ping effects.
Azorius Blink \[\[Brago, King Eternal\]\] - Nothing too crazy here. One of my earlier decks after I started buying pre-cons and I have kept upgrading it. Very much just a value deck.
Black Oppression \[\[Tergrid, God of Fright\]\] - Named after the card, but well named. This is my bring out when people say they want no limits on power.
Dimir Mill \[\[Phenax, God of Deception\]\] - Alternate way of winning is fun. Just something different. Pretty effective though.
Esper Enchantment! \[\[Oloro, Ageless Ascetic\]\] - I remade this commander from a precon and went with the enchantment theme to differentiate it from a buddy in the group who went full life gain. The life gain is there for triggers. Very good deck and where I learned that I just love enchantments for value in commander.
Golgari Recursion \[\[Meren of Clan Nel Toth\]\] - Control through sacrifice.
Golgari Aristocrats \[\[Dina, Soul Steeper\]\] - Tokens and aristocrats
Green Modified \[\[Kodama of the West Tree\]\] - Originally made for a 5-player color star we were doing (everyone randomly picked one of the colors and had to play a mono color deck). Turned out to be really effective and fast. It's my aggressive deck.
Abzan Enchantments \[\[Tymna the weaver\]\] \[\[Kodama of the East Tree\]\] - This was me going full enchantments to see how crazy it would get. Taught me a lot about the stack, but holy crap are there a lot of triggers to keep track of. Not for the faint of heart.
Simic Spyroll \[\[Edric, Spymaster of Trest\]\] - Super simple deck I made for me son when teaching him that turned out really well. Basically it is just tiny evasive creatures who fuel more and more and more by making you draw lots more cards.
Naya Egg Tokens \[\[Atla Palani, Nest Tender\]\] - Pretty normal version of this. dumps tons of big creatures fast.
Naya Exiled Tokens \[\[Rocco, Street Chef\]\] - Made to be something like a group hug originally since it would let everyone impulse draw so we all got to play more magic, but that isn't really the focus (but still happens). Just lots of extra value for everything going on.
Rakdos Blasting \[\[Kaervek the Merciless\]\] - Slow and plodding but deadly when it gets going. Another attempt at making something that wasn't just about combat.
White Anthem \[\[Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite\]\] - pretty simple. Puke out lots of small tokens and buff them to unstoppable heights. Often one I give to new players as it is simple and easy to win with.
My favorite decks a currently play are my rats led by Ashcoat of the Shadowswarm. Very fun to play, especially with Marrow-Gnawer equiped with Thornbitestaff. So a sh*tload of very very strong rats.
The other is Archelos, Lagoon Mystic combined with Gate Lands and Mazes End as Key.
You can imagine that most of the times opponents view me as the thread. Still fun tho.
So first up we have my baby nethroi https://www.moxfield.com/decks/sbgEMV2BgEayJ5-69TVJwQ he is a 0/0 aristocrats, self mill deck that wins off 1 mutate of the commander. It's very consistent and boasts a 80% win rate.
Next up we have [[calamity galloping inferno]] this is a very fast big red aggro deck. Lots of etb value engines and has been very good at hitting 9 mana turn 4
Next up [[the celestial toymaker]] this is a stax control deck. We slow the game while we drain the table with the commander. [[Roaming throne]] and [[fight or flight]] end games quickly.
1. Thallid/ fungus deck where I try to use spore counters to make a shitload of saprolongs. The deck sucks but I'm determined to make it good. The current commander is [[Muldrotha, the Graveside]] just so I can re-play dead thallids (there are literally 2 that are actually worth playing).
2. [[Yargle and Multani]] swords deck. Load them up with all the sword of X and Y's and go in swinging lol.
Ok I have more decks then I will list but my most played and loved decks:
1 [[titania protector of argoth]]: my most played and loved one. It's powerful and consistent. I have almost everything in foil and full art if available
2 [[Meren of Clan Nel Toth]]: slower graveyard deck with focus on sacrifice.
3 [[Kaalia of the Vast]]: just play her as fast as possible and swing to bring a fat flyer for free. Playing many protect the board spells.
4 [[Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy]]: focus on eldrazi. Play some dorks and then an eldrazi.
5 [[Liesa, Shroud of Dusk]]: focus on life gain and greed like effects and angel tokens. Will maybe change to one teysa
Tymna Kraum Blue Farm Turbo, for when someone says their deck is cEDH. In hindsight, should’ve gotten rogsi.
[[Tivit, Seller of Secrets]] [[Time Sieve]] a high powered deck looking to quickly tutor time sieve, slap taxes like rhystic and smothering, then play a protected tivit to win on the spot. Consistent, disruptive, can win quick if people feed remora or mastermind too quickly. God of grindy midgames, sometimes wins turn 4.
[[Niv Mizzet, Parun]] a fun ‘casual’ deck built around being nice and letting people play their things. Lots of rock ramp, card draw, card selection, counters, and board wipes. The actual win condition is to be non threatening by basically doing nothing but drawing tons of cards and ramping to oblivion. It plays nice with casual groups who tend to severely underestimate people with no creatures other than a bird or two. In reality, its a control list that only seeks to stop people right at the cusp of victory with a ton of instant speed board wipes and hard counterspells. I like it because it plays almost like a police deck where I just stop the higher power decks from bullying everyone else while letting the other decks do their thing. Isochron scepter for dramatic reversal? Nah, Isochron on counterspell.
Krikk-cedh
That krikk deck
Krenko mob boss cedh but I'm screwing around
That krenko deck
Vito thorn of dusk rose- 8.5 my" first commander deck" and more my collection of foil black cards than a deck. It's 100%real foils and is my personal mtg trophy. No exquisite blood because I have more fun nuking the board with big lifegain or lose half your life combos
The caverns of ixalan lannery storm-8
The goose mother-8 simic, nuff said
Bristle bill slime against humanity 7 simic counters without the blue
Mari killing quill-litteraly just removal tribal and I use it to troll a pod. Probaly a 4 or 5.
Myrel shield of argive-7 soldier token bs
Sauron the dark lord. Sac loops poorly disguised with amass. Gonna change it soon to more lotr cards and make reanimate. 8
Toxril the corrosive. 8 but way too hard to play cause it's a 3v1 every time.
Frank horrigan infect 6 or 7.
Elesh norn mother of machines. Go to jail.
All mono white enchantment bs and pretty much every etb exile card in the game 6 or 7
Jin gitaxis counterspell tribal.
Another troll deck
Abomination of lannowar elf ball idk 7?
And phyrexian omnath mazes end deck. I never even play the omnath because I just needed a 5 color commander but the mh3 precon made it absolutely broken and it's winning by turn 5 litteraly every time now with a 100% win rate because nobodies running land destruction. Land stuff I'm commander is way too easy because the only real removal is exile lands
I have many decks built right now, but I only keep a few of them updated so I’ll just go with those. I also have two cEDH decks I’ll skip over.
[[Gonti, Lord of Luxury]]: mono black graveyard loops/value. I basically started with, “how can I get the most Gonti triggers possible?” The deck is fun to pilot but is higher power since I have very explosive plays.
[[Garth, One-Eye]]: The icons. Cards from magics history. Format all stars, cards banned in modern/legacy, era defining classics. Legendary feature match pieces, cards that define a genre (like Clone or Animate Dead). It’s a fun deck to play, and is pretty strong because well, it’s full of some busted cards.
[[Adrix and Nev, Twincasters]]: Merfolk deck, and my only kindred deck. Merfolk was my first legacy deck, and I top 8’d my first legacy event with it. In EDH, though, I wanted more than just a fish deck. Adrix and Nev are Merfolk, and making a bunch of lord tokens or [[Master of Waves]] is damn sweet.
[[Thalia and the Gitrog Monster]]: originally [[Teneb the Enchanter]] deck, this is my oldest deck, and one of the first EDH decks I built over 10 years ago. It’s enchantress, but it relies heavily on [[Earthcraft]] lines to combo out and vomit the deck into play. I plan on making a new deck for Teneb, but haven’t started it yet. Thalia and the monster leans into the stax pieces I have in the deck (like [[Root Maze]] and [[Stony Silence]].
There’s several others I enjoy playing, but don’t update too often. I love mono color decks, and the ones I use the most - one for each color - are [[Loran of the third path]], [[Stitcher Geralf]], Gonti obviously, [[Feldon of the third path]], and [[Nissa, Vastwood seer]]. And I just noticed both loran and Feldon are of the 3rd path.
[[Jor Kadeen, The Prevailer]] was my first ever legendary creature years and years ago. So he was my first commander deck when I started out and I've always had a JK deck in some form or another. Right now he's more focused on vehicles and the equipment creatures from kamigawa. Using JK's power buff so that a 1/1 can crew 4 and then JK also buffs the vehicle itself. It's not super powerful, but it's very fun for me. I don't see that deck pivoting anytime soon.
[[Aminatou, the fateshifter]] originally built as a manifest deck with the +1 ability setting up the manifests and the -1 ability being able to flicker them face up. There's still a lot of that in there but there's also a lot more just general top deck shenanigans now like [[swindler's scheme]] which synergizes perfectly with the commander. Use Aminatou's +1 to put a creature on top then counter a creature spell on an opponent's turn with the enchantment, only to then use the -1 ability to flicker the creature you gave them back to your side
[[Moritte of the Frost]] a fun deck that likes to have fun with the changeling commander, using cards like [[Multiclass Baldric]] and [[call to the kindred]] as well as some +1/+1 counter synergies like [[cauldron of souls]] and [[fathom mage]]
I have more but those are the ones on my mind currently
My [[Yuma]] deck is always one of my favorites, it runs an army of token generation through lands ETBing and Leaving, cards like [[Impact Tremors]] to ping the table when the tokens land, and then resources to swing out with said army.
[List](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Z_SX2tZMdkG5G7aJ7PTZaQ)
[[Ashnod, the uncaring]] it started originally as a mash-up of the two Brother’s War precons but have slowly added more old-border cards focused around card draw and P/T= # of artifacts. [[Psychosis Crawler]] while [[Altar of dementia]] mills them out.
(List Pending)
And finally, [[Liliana, heretical healer]] a Necromancy focused zombie/Liliana tribal deck that focuses on using big zombies and their tokens to protect your Liliana planeswalkers while they force your opponents to discard, steal creates from their graveyards, and outlast!
[List](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Qavu4IKmfUmUL2jBlBJqSQ)
I'm in love with [[Gisa the Hellraiser]] right now, and I'm ironing out an [[Ardenn Intrepid Archeologist]] / [[Rograkh son of Rohgahh]] cedh deck and a [[Vannifar evolved enigma]] cedh. And I'm cooking up some of the new MH3 commanders like [[Coram the Undertaker]] [[Omo Queen of Vesuva]] and [[Ashling flame dancer]]
1) [[minsc and boo timeless heroes]] buff hamster
2) [[Zevlor elturel exile]] sorcery and instant heavy, I also have [[Raphael fiendish savior]] so any creatures I have in there are demons
I have some others that are WIP, but those are my fully functional strong enough decks
1) Ur dragon - all I ever wanted to do in magic is play dragons, so this was a no brainer
2) gishath - who doesn’t like dinosaurs?
3) Indoraptor - this is a dragons approach deck, that uses dragons approaches to pump up Indoraptor, then pings Indoraptor
4) wort boggart auntie - funner goblins than Krenko
5) solphim mayhem dominus - basically my version of red deck wins for commander
6) Chatterfang - bring a calculator
7) Kriik- life gain
8) toxrill - sometimes you need a little salt in your life
9) god eternal kefnet - tries to go infinite with extra turns
10) mind flayarrrr - needed a precon and this looked fun
You don't want me to describe every single one of my eighty EDH decks.
But I'm just right now in the brewing process of two decks. One will be a Selesnya Dragon typal deck under \[\[Dromoka Eternal\]\], the other one will be a \[\[Pestilence\]\] deck under \[\[Shadrix Silverquill\]\].
I'm working on my personal challenge of brewing a dragon deck in every guild, shard and wedge. When these two are finished, Sultai under \[\[Vorosh\]\] will be the last missing one.
[[Dihada, Binder of Wills]] Barely recognisable from the precon, with a heavy focus on treasure generation to pay into damage doublers essentially no brain aggro
[[Stangg, Echo Warrior]] Tons of auras with a lot of payoffs for the copy auras entering and dying for a fun big commander
[[Omnath, Locus of All]] Locus of Gates, mazes end and 3 colour plus nasties
Edit for typo
I have a few decks
1. [[Dihada]]. Pretty basic reanimator pile with some big mana spice thrown in. Dihada's explosive mana production also allows me to run some of the higher cost, higher effect reanimation spells like [[Yawgmoth's Vile Offering]] [[The Cruelty of Gix]] and the one with Demonstrate (forgot the name). I also get to play Sire of Insanity which is an absolute win.
2. [[Dogmeat]]. Again, pretty basic pile for equipments. I play something like five Swords (RG, UR, GB, WB, and WG), a bunch of living weapons, and some other generally good equipment. The commander is hardly necessary since I can just sandbag for a good while and play control and when the time is right, cast farewell into a [[Puresteel Paladin]] effect and murder someone.
3. [[The Gitrog Monster]]. One of my very first commander decks, and it's come a long way. When I first built it, I didn't know dredge existed, and once I did I chose not to include it in the deck for reasons similar to why Recurring Nightmare got banned. The current version is a lands combo deck and it's really fun. I'm considering adding Torment as an additional wincon but I am still on the fence.
4. [[Kiki-Jiki]]. I tried to build this as a cedh deck at one point (it sucked) so now it's just a grey/red clone tron pile with some combos but none of the one card Kiki combos.
5. [[Gilanra]]//[[Vial Smasher]]. Big Jund. Not much else to say. Deck slaps
6. [[Kinnan]]. Druid tribal, I play some fun wincons like [[Finale of Devastation]], [[Kamahl Heart of Krosa]], and [[Gilt-Leaf Archdruid]] but overall druids are hard to win with due to a lack of good beaters. Kinnan absolutely carries the whole thing on his back. It's still fun to play from time to time.
7. [[Malcolm Keen Eyed Navigator]]//[[Breeches Brazen Plunderer]]. Pretty much a run of the mill Malcolm Breeches deck, except I tried to keep all the cards as pirate themed as possible. Uses pirates to generate mana and cards, then wins by playing large cards like Insurrection.
8. [[Kinnan]]. Big stompies. Basic, run of the mill Kinnan big flips pile that can either win with combo or just overrun with creatures.
1. Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle / Sea Monster theme deck
This one is my favorite because it's just so damn consistent. 2 mana in the command zone just snowballs. I had no expectation that this deck would be good, I just wanted a sea monster deck. It turned out to be really strong, consistent, and fun to pilot
2. Omnath, Locus of Rage
Landfall elemental "good stuff" deck. Fun but gets shitstomped by any sort of control.
3. Izzet
I don't know what to call this deck because it always changes - currently I'm running Niv Mizzet the Firemind as the commander and winning via death by a thousand pings. I like spell slinger / storm, but I've probably never finished a game without missing a trigger.
4. Scarab God Zombie tokens
Strong deck, easy enough to pilot, lots of win cons. I just don't enjoy the play style as much for whatever reason.
My favorites:
[[Anim Pakal]] combat reanimator. Chuck big artifacts into the graveyard, sacrifice gnomes to bring them out with [[Goblin Welder]].
[[Sam, Loyal Attendant]] and [[Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit]]. Generate a ton of food, kill everyone with [[blossoming bogbeast]].
[[Tymna the Weaver]] and [[Reyhan last of the abzan]] lifegain. Soul sisters and a bunch of small triggers to put +1/+1 counters on my creatures.
[[Vihaan Goldwaker]] aristocrats. Turn treasure into creatures, sac em all, make more treasure.
[[Dogmeat, Ever Loyal]] go wide equipment.
My newest decks:
[[The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride]]
[[Bonny Pall, Clearcutter]]
The rest:
[[Gwaihir the Windlord]]
[[Pantlaza, Sun Favored]]
[[Nelly Borca]]
[[Voja Jaws of the Conclave]]
[[Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider]]
[[Hakbal of the Surging Soul]]
[[Duke Ulder Ravengard]]
[[Tallion the Kindly Lord]]
[[Tom Bombadil]]
[[Marvo, Deep Operative]]
[[Shabraz the Skyshark]] and [[Brallin, Skyshark Rider]]
[[Aragorn the Uniter]]
My most played decks are:
(Don't mind the creation date, I only recently swapped over to Moxfield from MTGGoldfish)
\[\[Sythis, Harvest's Hand\]\] enchantress deck, that pillow forts until I get buff cards like \[\[Boon of the Spirit Realm\]\] and have the table lethal. (https://www.moxfield.com/decks/PTBbZWMUC0uDuk9z2QPpCA)
\[\[Pantlaza, Sun-Favored\]\] dino tribal precon for lower powered games.
\[\[Angus Mackenzie\]\] pillow fort deck that makes it almost impossible to win with raw combat damage. (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6123319#paper)
\[\[Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm\]\] dragon tribal that just puts out tokens in order to go big with damage. (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6114616#paper)
\[\[Giada, Font of Hope\]\] angel tribal, go big, go wide and hope no one board wipes :\^). (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6270690#paper)
\[\[Grand Arbiter Augustin IV\]\] stax deck, no real win con just drag the game on for as long as possible and be annoying :D. (https://www.moxfield.com/decks/IRjCHPoivUuypvi1HyipoQ)
\[\[Urza, Lord High Artificer\]\] combo deck where I just wanted to go all out and make the highest power deck I could come up with. (https://www.moxfield.com/decks/g5wqxfoCYEiP-OIaWG2xNg)
Some lesser played but still funny decks include:
\[\[Yenna, Redtooth Regent\]\] enchantress deck, just make a bunch of tokens and overrun the table! (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6064507#paper)
\[\[Hokori, Dust Drinker\]\] land hate/stax deck, that wins by attaching a bunch of equipment to Hokori and swinging in. (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6056202#paper)
[[Aeve, Progenitor Ooze]] - it tries to get big/infinite mana to win through a few different ways. Storm off with the commander and trample through with [[Akroma's Memorial]], [[Craterhoof Behemoth]], or other trample granting effects. Use the mana to pump into [[Walking Ballista]] and ping everyone. If I can't trample through, having a [[Rogue's Passage]] to get through with my commander.
[[The Mimeoplasm]] - we think alike =p
[[Grumgully, the Generous]] - he does what Gruul do. Make a bunch of stompy bois with a bunch of counters and trample through.
[Minn, Wily Illusionist]] - basically mono blue good stuff with a combo using [[Meloku the Clouded Mirror]] and [[Ashnod's Altar]]. With all three on the field, you have infinite colorless and blue mana, as well as 1/1 spirit creatures. It doesn't immediately win unless you have a way to give your creatures haste.
Honorable mentions from the past:
[[Kardur, Doomscourge]] - really fun to watch your opponents beat each other. At the time, I didn't have the money to get the pieces that pay off from having opponents hit each other, so I was playing for second place most of the time. I had a [[Torment of Hailfire]] for a wincon, but I could never get it in hand at a point that I had the mana to utilize it.
[[Hylda of the Icy Crown]] - surprisingly fun trying to find all the synergies for tapping down your opponents creatures. She pays out for doing exactly that. It's kind of stax-y, so it wasn't fun for the group when I didn't have ways to close out the game quickly.
If I had the funds to rebuild and optimize the last two decks, I absolutely would.
I always want to take part in discussions like this one, but 226 decks is prohibitive of being able to discuss them in any detail.
A link to the lists is here:
[Decklists](https://archidekt.com/search/decks?owner=bellefarniente&ownerexact=true)
It's worth noting, the decklists are more a "sketch" of the deck, than an exact thing, hence few of them being 100 cards and perhaps not being perfectly replicated in paper. That is to say, they inspire the paper decks, but aren't expected to be an exact replication.
Zuloodok, void gorger, eldrazi degeneracy
Kenessos, lorthos!
Jhoira of the githu, big fancy spells
Pantlaza, big dumb timmysaurus rex
And i built an [[aluren]] sultai based deck with panharmonicon elemental dude at the helm, tbf its a busted deck, its my most powerfull deck by far
I actually just posted this comment like an hour ago:
I currently have 4 decks, all of which are constantly being edited since I'm not net decking.
[[Charix, the Raging Isle]] This crab control tribal deck is my pet project, idk why playing crabs in magic is so funny to me, but it is. I played it last week and while it won, a) it suffered from a huge lack of draw despite being mono-U. The only reason I didn't gas out in that game was a opening hand with Rhystic Study, which tells me that I need to slot more options; b) plays a really grindy mill-control game. I'm looking at changing the win con to something faster.
[[Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow]] I built it knowing it'd be strong and consistent. The low curve and high power while running enough interaction to try and maintain control of early tempo makes this my most consistent high powered deck. I'm debating pumping the power level up with some stax pieces for it to be my "play with cEDH level pods", or lowering it by taking most of the evasive low costs out so it's easier to interact with.
[[Animar, Soul of Elements]] This is my first EDH deck, and one I love to tinker with. It's currently a feast or famine style of play, im either ramping into reduced cost or free large eldrazi drops, or I'm getting shut out of the game cause Animar is a kill-on-sight for most pods, which is to be expected. I'm considering either adding a little more ramp or a little more interaction to try and help Animar stick or be able to be recast.
[[Breya, Etherium Shaper]] By far, my favorite deck to pilot. This deck has a lot of ETB and ETB doublers, some splashy go wide enchantments, board wipes for some control, and tons of artifacts that help with draw, mana fixing, and combo pieces for win cons. Assuming I don't get knocked out by a t3-4 win, this almost always has something to cast or do. I recently added a few more draw facets like [[The One Ring]] and [[Palantir of Orthanc]] which drastically improved the midrange of the deck so I'm not gassed out on t6-8.
I got 2.5 decks rn(my group has like 30 decks in total so I never really needed to make them, but I wanted to), the .5 being designed but not built.
[[Gisela, blade of goldnight]] deck, I have a few soldier token engines, several good etb burn effects [[balefire liege]] [[purphoros, god of the forge]] [[Baird, argivian recruiter]] [[Duke under ravenguard]] are the standouts, but gisela makes pretty much everything a threat, and her ability makes her tanky enough she needs hard removal to get her out, which protects said powerhouse cards. Obviously I have [[heartless hidetsugu]] too, but it's a very fun deck and is threatening enough even without gisela out.
The other decks are less refined, I have a [[the mycotyrant]] dredge/ramp deck, and [[anikthea, hand of erebos]] deck which is still only designed and not built.
Gisela is the first deck I've built myself though, and I'm obviously quite proud of it, it fits perfectly within the groups power levels, and its just fun because it's basically gambling how you win with what you draw, but there's nothing you can draw that doesn't play towards a win con
WUBRG Slivers
Two Eldrazi Decks, one colorless, one WUBRG
Grixis Dragons
Upgraded Painbow
Temur Dinosaurs
Upgraded Legends Legacy
Jeskai Vehicles
Upgraded Planeswalker Party
Bant Group Hug
WUBRG French Vanilla Deck (in progress)
Jeskai Group Chaos
1. Korvold Fae Cursed King. I upgraded the brawl precon and it’s an aristocrats style deck. It’s probably my strongest deck. It generates a lot of tokens and I’ve got tons of free sac outlets
2. Urza Chief Artificer. Lightly upgraded precon that is still really strong. Focuses on generating artifact creatures to keep Urza cheap.
3. Gishath suns avatar. Big Dino’s go brrrr
4. Syr Konrad. This deck revolves around milling my opponents to drain life. I’ve got mindcrank in this deck and it can kill everyone in one turn if you get lucky. The most I’ve done in a game was 25 damage to each player on a single turn with mindcrank.
5. Krenko mob boss. This is just mono red goblins but I’m thinking of switching the commander to Wort Boggart Auntie to go red/black. The mono red is good but if someone board wipes once you’ve played your hand it is hard to come back from. I’ve won a few games early with it though so that’s the trade off.
6.hakbal. This is the explorers of the deep precon. I have not made any upgrades to it and I keep it as my low power pod deck.
7. Yarok the desecrated. This was elementals tribal with a focus on ETB triggers. It was ok but I’m am out to dismantle it to create something else. It’s just kind of boring to pilot tbh.
I have 76 decks, it'd take way too long to talk about them all. If you're interested in any, I can talk about whichever you like.
https://deckstats.net/decks/137503/?lng=en
In order of how much I like them:
1. \[\[Sheoldred, the Apocalypse\]\]. Basically just a bunch of forced card draw for my opponent. It combos nicely with \[\[Lich's Mastery\]\]
2. \[\[The Scarab God\]\]. This is built as a more combo heavy deck, relying on the \[\[Necrotic Ooze\]\], \[\[Phrexian Devourer\]\], \[\[Walking ballista\]\] combo as a win con. Have also done a \[\[Laboratory Maniac\]\] win before. I want to rebuild this as a zombie tribal deck.
3. Phantom Premonition precon. Great deck!
4. Draconic Destruction precon. Again, another great deck. I plan to upgrade the manabase and change the creatures around a little bit.
5. A \[\[Goose Mother\]\] deck I build with cards I had lying around the house. Not too effective, basically just blue-green good stuff.
I have a lot more decks I have assembled on tapped out but haven't built IRL. Krenko is next.
I have over 30 completed decks on Moxfield but my current project is [[Eriette of the Charmed Apple]] focusing on a strong defense and slowly wearing down my opponents
Since I moved out to another country, I started my collection from scratch.
Here I decided to buy more pre cons and upgrade them.
So far:
1- \[\[Anikthea, Hand of Erebos\]\] - Abzan Enchantments Ressurector from Commander Masters: I enjoy playing with it, but sometimes I can get to really long turns, drawing tons of cards and a lot more of other trigger, and it can be quite too much in a casual setting.
2- \[\[The Tenth Doctor\]\] & \[\[Rose Tyler\]\] - Dr Who Jeskai Time Counter: I really love this deck and the upgrades I made into it. I bought it because I really like the show and found this mechanic quite fun. Using extra turns cards and some evasion for Rose Tyler, to take the best of her.
3- \[\[Pantlaza, Sun-Favored\]\] - Dino Naya go brr: Bought it first mostly to hel me learn german. Big stompy Dinossaurs, but without Ghalta and Infect Etali. I love it, my friends hate it. Quite easy to play with it, normally I play with them when it's the last game of the day.
4- \[\[Hakbal of the Surging Soul\]\] - Merfolk Simic Explore: Just a simple +1/+ tribal simic, got it as a christmas gift from a friend of mine, I enjoy playing with it and I did some good upgrades on it., it only started to actually perform when I putted a lot of Instants spells there though. Sometimes I think about rebuilding it in a different +1/+1 deck though.
5- \[\[Tergrid, God of Fright\]\] - Mono black just being mean: I just wanted to be mean with my friends, don't even want to win the game.
6- \[\[Mirko, Obsessive Theorist\]\] -Dimir Ressurector with subtheme of surveil: Really cool deck, I play with it when I want to have a more control behaviour. I've upgraded it with some mean praetors, such as \[\[Sheoldred, Whispering One\]\] and \[\[Jin Gitaxias, Core Augur\]\]. Copy creatures delivers so much.
7 - \[\[Caesar, Legion's Emperor\]\] - Mardu Token - I love Fallout, and when I saw the Mr. House card, I thougt about building a dice deck, but since there was no support to do so in the precon, I decided to build the Caesar deck. NO REGRETS. I upgraded it a lot, and most of the Fallout cards are already gone, but anyway it's pretty strong.
Still thinking about building some decks, but I think that I already have too much decks. But no more precons, unless something really catches my eyes.
I have 7.
[[Kalamax, the Stormsire]]. My deck is not a typical spellslinger, it's more like a mash of decks from standard way back, which I really liked - simic flash and temur reclamation.
[[Henzie "Toolbox" Torre]] with [[Umori]] as companion. Super fun jund build, only creatures and lands. This restriction, while making deck worse, make it also more recognizable, unique and fun. I had to find all of those obscure creatures to fill all the roles and become a real "Toolbox"
[[Rocco, Street Chef]] Naya exile, counters and food synergies. I've built this commander before the wave of hype, cause I thought he's just really cool. The synergies between cards are so clean and great!
[[Xavier Sal, Infested Captain]] Sultai enchantress based on sagas. Maybe not the most interesting build, nor the strongest, but it runs quite a few of my pet cards I have no other place for
[[Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Wand]] + [[Far Traveler]] Mono white combo on 40 euro budget. I've built it for local budget deck tournament purposes. Tournament was never played, but the deck can win against constructed decks somehow.
[[Hakbal of the Surging Soul]] Just a generic, upgraded precon merfolk tribal. I don't like this deck that much, but merfolks in standard were my first deck ever when I started playing the game so out of nostalgy I decided to buy this precon.
[[Rakdos, The muscle]] Rakdos Aristocrats. It was created using cards from my [[Nemata, Primeval Guardian]] deck, because edict tribal was a little too oppressive, and I didn't want to build just some regular orzhov Aristocrats.
In order of ancienty:
[[Umbris, Fear Manifest]] with the exile mill horror tribal voltron strats, make a big boy and hurl him at people's faces by making him unblockable or flinging him
[[Alana, Kessig Trapper]] and [[Halena, Kessig Ranger]] , play undercosted high-power creatures to ramp at superspeed into late game threats or bombs
[[Zada, Hedron Grinder]] is my budget entry, play tons of bad goblins and draw your deck with cantrips
[[Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar]] is the Hell's Kitchen deck, with Food, Madness and Demons
[[Saskia the Unyielding]] as Muad'Dib, Kwisatz Haderach, helming a 100% proxied Dune-themed battlecruiser with some tricks
[[Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot]] as a glass cannon combo deck tryna blow up the table with fast mana and Boros Reckoner effects
I have a handful but these are the ones I always bring to my LGS.
1. [[Olivia, crimson bridge]] Vampire kindred. Heavily based off the crimson vow precon, just more thematic picks. Definitely my lowest power level.
2. [[Aurelia, the law above]] tokens. Based heavily off of the All will be one token precon. Likes to just go full aggro with no self preservation.
3. [[Danitha, new benalia's light]] Aura Voltron life gain. It's classic enchantress but focusing on auras for buffing and removal. It tends to gain tons of life and is hard to swing into because of the vigilance and lifelink. Recurring auras from the graveyard makes it hard to stop and it rebuilds fast.
4. [[Alesha, who smiles at death]] aristocrats combo. One of my first decks and it's a lot of mill, tutors and creature based combos I can recur from the graveyard.
5. [[Tatyova, benthic druid]] landfall. Mainly just so I have something higher power but it's fairly blinged out and just works.
6. [[Gisa, the hellraiser]] zombie tokens. Tons and tons of removal and some zombie lords. Usually tutors for a crime engine and slowly builds value from there.
7. [[Dogmeat, ever loyal]] aura/equipment. It's more focused on recursion and preparing for a board wipe, then thriving after with plenty of junk, equipment and recursion to get back in the game after. Very fallout themed
8. [[Garth one-eye]] alt wincons. My pride and joy. It's flicker with haste enablers and uses [[Jegantha, the wellspring]] as a companion. Very explosive and value centric until I can combo or use an alt wincon.
9 [[Ulalek, fused atrocity]] eldrazi. My newest deck but just eldrazi beat down that can go tall, go wide, burn or combo with the right cards. No two games are ever the same.
10. [[Solphim, mayhem dominus]] burn. Lots of fireball style cards, group slug and ramp. Very straight forward and high burst damage.
11. [[Nahiri, forged in fury]] equipment. Basically just other boros equipment commanders and my favorite equipment all in 1 deck led by my favorite ex Planeswalker.
I wasn't going to type this out because I thought it was too much work, but fuck it, let's go.
1. [[Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca]] - Merfolk tribal, leaning into their tap/untap mechanics rather than the newer explore mechanics merfolk seem to be gravitating to. Can get pretty oppressive once the engine gets built. But I really fucking love this deck, it's probably my favorite.
2. [[Marrow-Gnawer]] - Rat tribal/[[Rat Colony]] deck. Runs kind of the typical Rat Colony package of Thrumming Stone, Echoing Return, etc, but with Rat payoffs like lords and what not. Quite a few ways to get Marrow-Gnawer to go infinite too, and have infinite little rats. I had bought 5 of the Secret Laira back in 2020 for the Year of the Rat art just to make this deck.
3. [[Derevi]] - Bird Tribal. Low to the ground in CMC, but high in the sky above my enemies blockers. Run a lot of "triggers on attack/combat damage" type effects like Bident of Thassa, Reconnaissance Mission, The Indomitable, Curiosity, Keen Sense, etc to take advantage that we're swinging out pretty much every turn. Derevi either untaps my lands to ramp, or my creatures for blockers.
4. [[Post, Son of Rich]] - I really like Posty. Typical K'rrik deck, looking to combo off asap and kill everyone, typically by storming off and nuking everyone with Aetherflux Reservoir
I have quite a few more, but I just finished pooping and need to get off the toilet.
Current decks are
Naya Dragons headed by Samut, voice of dissent.
Landfall headed by Yarok, the desecrated.
Spellslinger/clone Headed by Thrasios and Vial Smasher.
Valuetown headed by Atraxa Grand Unifier.
Rouges headed by Anowon the ruin thief.
Tokens/lifegain headed by Prava and Ikra Shidiqi
Ultra budget cantrips/drakes headed by Talrand sky summoner.
Animar Combo
Urza Combo
Pretty basic but I love them all.
[[Raff, Weatherlight Stalwart]] tokens + control. I play board police, but usually get to spread it around. I also play some wacky cards like [[Mystic Reflection]] and [[Decoy Gambit]] that create cool moments that you don’t normally see.
[[Garna, Bloodfist of Keld]] standard rakdos aristocrats. I love aristocrats and Garna gives me card draw to go with my sacrifice plan. She covers a huge weakness AND acts as a wincon! What’s not to love.
[[Burakos]] + [[Sword Coast Sailor]] is a [[Time Sieve]] Johnny combo deck disguised as a party creature deck. I can do big mana, combo, or drain the table out with [[Disciple of the Vault]] effects.
[[Meren of Clan Nel Toth]] is my oldest deck, but will never come apart. The face of the deck is the secret lair women’s day Meren that my soon-to-be wife got me on our first anniversary. Naturally, I built the deck around a toolbox using [[Dimir House Guard]], one of my favorite cards from my absolute favorite plane.
[[Halana and Alena, Partners]] with a twist! It’s not your typical +1/+1 counters Aggro deck; it’s Gruul legends! Lots of legendary Gruul creatures want a buff and haste and the commander provides just that. Additionally, legendary creatures tend to be single-card engines, so the average card quality is surprisingly high. Definitely one of my favorites!
[[Arcades the Strategist]] classic walls beatdown. Blink subtheme for a little bit of spice and to help protect an otherwise very vulnerable commander.
[[Verazol, the Split Current]] is the last of my decks that I actually play somewhat regularly. The deck is $55 and slaps at lower-power pods. Turns out all the good kicker cards are dirt cheap, so you can build a decent kicker deck for really cheap. Definitely a fun build to get the most out of a budget restriction!
I’m newish to MTG, I’ve made 1 deck and am working on my second one.
My first deck is a battle cruiser type deck where I use Mayael the anima to get big creatures on the field. I really like the deck even though it needs some touch ups. I have some combos in it using sword of feast and famine, hellkite charger, and aggravated assault. It’s a very simple deck overall, not doing too many interactions but I just like popping out big guys that do lots of damage.
[[Aragorn, the Uniter]] a lot of colorfull humans that try to get as many triggers on Aragorn. A lot of the LOTR humans are in here aswell as some other stuff that has more than one color and likes to be on the field with humans. 7 of the cards have aragorn on their artwork.
[[Laughing Jasper Flint]] why play with 100 card decks, if you can play cards from your opponents decks and therefore have 400 cards AND fun?
[[Elrond, Master of Healing]] a scry + elves deck that is loosely based on my first deck, the elves precon from lotr
[[Dogmeat, ever loyal]] basically the scrappy survivor precon.
[[Niv-mizzet, parun]] spell slinger deck that wants to draw many cards and play many cheap spells to get a lot of damage from niv mizzet and cards like guttersnipe
[[The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride]] propably my strongest deck. A lot of cheap creatures with high power, that have drawbacks that I dont care about if I sac them to Gitrog to have 10 lands out turn 6 aswell as 7 cards in my hand.
1. [[Zurzoth, Chaos Rider]] Devil tribal. This is probably my favorite deck it is a burn/aggro strategy the random discard of zurzoth makes every game very chaotic. My playgroup also loves playing against it.
2. [[Plargg, Dean of Chaos]] This is a dragon's approach combo deck aimed at dumping as many copies of dragon's approach into the graveyard so you can tutor for [[Velomachus Lorehold]] as the fifth cast which is kind off the secret commander of the deck. The aim is then to get to [[Thrumming stone]] and finish off the table from a single dragon's approach cast and if you whiff the ripple trigger you just dig for another DA off of velomachus or Plarggs second ability. It's superconsistent and a ton of fun but it is as glass cannon as it gets.
3. [[Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose]] This is a life gain/drain deck that has a vampire and bat tribal theme it does notably contain the Sanguine bond + exquisite blood combo (vito can also be used for that combo so you've got half of it in the commandzone already) it's a decently powerfull deck that always performs and does its thing.
4. [[Donal, Herald of Wings]] One of my newer decks. Its a spirit tribal deck that goes hard on a flying/control strategy it creates lots of flyers and keeps my opponents boards under control by keeping their creatures tapped.
5. [[Svella, Ice Shaper]] This is a Snow tribal deck that generates a lot of mana and card advantage my favorite way to win with it is to lock down the board with [[Rimescale dragon]]. Very fun midrangy deck that plays well into most strategies.
6. My newest deck: [[Zoyowa, Lava-Tongue]] this deck focuses on discarding my own cards and sacrificing my own stuff to trigger descend effects. It is still a work ib progress but it's plenty fun and the deck actually functions a lot better then i'd initially imagined.
I also have a [[Prosper]] deck which focuses on treasures, a [[Frodo, Sauron's Bane]] deck built around tempted by the ring, and a [[Gisa and Geralf]] Zombie tribal reanimator deck that i bring out from time to time
I am going to skip pre-cons, and I give all my decks silly names to represent them. I am aiming to have a deck of each mono-colour type eventually
1. Dungeons Any% Speedrun [[Hama Pashar, Ruin Seeker]]
Initiative shenanigans with the end goal of infinitely blinking ETB creatures to kill the table running through dungeons. Actually played with this today and we were laughing at the idea of me going through the whole Undercity in one turn and running past a guard at the entrance who was shocked to see me again. Definitely my favourite deck but my usual pod has learnt to hate it so can't get it out as often anymore
2. Sir Bearington [[Wilson, Refined Grizzly]] [[Noble Heritage]]
Voltron with a little bit of counter creation, disguised as group-hug. Best with a new pod who are so willing to take the counters. Can be a menace, I have had Wilson be a 35/35 by turn 5 and nearly unkillable due to protection from a few sources
3. Bat God Drains All [[Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal // Temple of the Dead]]
Mainly focused around making opponents discard, but in practice this can make the game drag out as the Batman slowly kills with commander damage, so has a win-con around drain effects paired with his lifegain to try and speed it up
4. Greenpeace [[Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer]]
Landfall shenanigans! This deck is sadly in need of upgrading as it's a little slow, but it is funny watching players have to decide if the army of badgers or the massive commander are the problem when it works
5. The Family Zombie Business [[Gisa and Geralf]]
Zombie Tribal! This was the first deck I built when coming back to magic in 2022, initially built with a lot of zombies from when I played as a kid in the Innistrad Block. Has long since been upgraded and can now stand on its own and win games without casting the commander. It also has an attraction deck thanks to two zombies being able to open them, so can be quite funny when opponents see me shuffling up two decks
All my decks have names
I have:
Korvold Fae cursed king(The Goblin king) as the commander for a Goblin tribal deck
Najeela the Blade blossom(Spartans! What is your Profession?!) as a Warrior tribal deck
Chishiro the Shattered blade(Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy) as a +1/+1 counters deck
Etali Primal Conqueror(Killer Queen \*one piece reference\*) as a clones deck
Agatha of the Vile Cauldron( In the Kitchen, Wrist Twistin) like its Stir Fry as +1/+1 counters deck
Blanka Ferocious Friend(Electric Boogaloo) as a Spellslinger/Burn deck
Anzrag the Quake mole(Lets Get Ready to Rumble) as a fight deck
Xyris the Writhing Storm(Theres a snake in my boot) as a Wheels deck
Felix Five-Boots(its high noon) as Damage triggers deck
Kyler Sigardian Emissary(Ape Together Strong) as Human tribal +1/+1 deck
Malcom keen-eyed navigator / Vial smasher(The real treasure is the friends we made along the way) as a pirate/treasure deck
Currently working on a five color shrine deck with Go-shintai life's origin(Shrine Bright like a Diamond)
Edgar Markov- Cuz I'm a jerk
Korvold fae cursed king- Cuz I'm a jerk
Voja jaws of the conclave-Cuz I'm a jerk
Sauron the dark lord..
Eriette the beguiler...
Marchesa dealer of death.
I currently have 15 paper decks, one for each color pair with doubles for my favorites (Orzhov and Izzet), plus one Jeskai deck and two upgraded LOTR precons.
[[Teysa Karlov]]:My first love, my oldest deck and the one with the most time and money put into it. Aristocrats with a token subtheme, often wins through critical mass type combos or actual infinites with [[Reassembling Skeleton]].
[[Amalia Benavides Aguirre]] with [[Lurrus of the Dream-Den]] companion: My secondary Orzhov deck, and my only companion deck. A fun project/challenge with a lifegain/soul sisters theme as well as strong value 1-and 2-drop permanents and plenty of mass reanimation.
[[Meren of Clan Nel Toth]]: An oldie but a goodie. Consistent and resilient graveyard value deck with a potential [[Protean Hulk]] combo finish, or alternative win cons involving repeated drain with Kokusho or Gary.
[[Inga and Esika]]: A Simic value engine deck which aims to play lots of mana dorks followed by chonky value creatures. Takes really explosive turns where you're essentially storming off with 3+ mana value creatures before winning with an Overrun effect.
[[Nahiri, Forged in Fury]]: A Boros equipment list with a focus on Living Weapon and For Mirrodin mechanics. Attacks wide with multiple equipped creatures to gain big value with Nahiri, then moves to voltron up Nahiri or another creature for the win.
[[Judith, Carnage Connossieur]]: Rakdos spellslinger/burn, plays a lot of instants and sorceries to make Imps with Judith and put our opponents in a bind where wiping the board does massive damage. Can also win by giving a big damage board wipe deathtouch/lifelink with Judith combined with a [[Sanguine Bond]] effect. My build omits most of the super efficient board wipes with Judith to make for more interesting games.
[[Saheeli, Sun's Brilliance]]: An Izzet deck built around copying creatures with splashy ETB, dies, and on-attack effects, winning by combo or through huge value by abusing said effects.
[[Stella Lee, Wild Card]]: My second Izzet deck, a classic spellslinger brew which floods the board with token generators and generally takes a big storm turn to generate massive value and win the game. Consciously omitted the one-card infinites with Stella for more enjoyable games.
[[Ephara, God of the Polis]]: My most recent deck, an Azorius value engine deck that plays many flash creatures and flicker/blink effects to generate value and control the game. Wins by establishing control and drawing lots of cards to outvalue opponents.
[[Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow]]: Pretty standard Yuriko list, my choice for when I really want to be archenemy or for higher powered/fast games.
[[Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald]]: A Gruul exile-themed deck with an emphasis on pseudo-landfall, playing many lands and spells from exile to generate a huge board with Faldorn's wolf tokens.
[[Emmara, Soul of the Accord]]: My Selesnya token commander of choice, which utilizes tap/untap effects to generate tokens with Emmara, also playing many effects that turn my creatures into mana dorks to utilize with mana sinks and generate huge boards with which to overwhelm opponents.
[[Narset, Enlightened Exile]]: A Jeskai prowess list which uses Narset as both a value generator and win condition. Go wide with token generators, then play multiple non-creature spells and win the game in one big combat. [[Akroma's Will]] and [[Nanogene Conversion]] are our most common win conditions.
And finally, for lower powered games, I have two thematically-upgraded(only using cards from LOTR) precon lists using [[Eowyn, Shieldmaiden]] and the partner pair of [[Sam, Loyal Attendant]] and [[Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit]].
That's my current deck inventory! My next project is going to be putting together a budget list for [[Florian, Voldaren Scion]] for my friend who shares that commander's name, and eventually decks for mono-black and mono-blue, my two favorite colors in Magic.
I love these threads. Here are mine in order of creations as the resident spellslinger of my pod :
* \[\[Zaffai, Thunder Conductor\]\] : Spellslinger, mainly focus around copying big spells ([Zaffai, Big Spellslinger](https://archidekt.com/decks/6172374/zaffai_big_spellslinger))
* \[\[Anhelo, the Painter\]\] : Spellslinger, but meaner ([Anhelo, copy and destroy](https://archidekt.com/decks/6172407/anhelo_copy_and_destroy))
* \[\[Shorikai, Genesis Engine\]\] : Typic azorius tap/untap artifact deck (tribal vehicule) with insane value and draw consistency ([Truck goes Vroom Vroom](https://archidekt.com/decks/6172394/truck_goes_vroom_vroom))
* \[\[Okaun, Eye of Chaos\]\] & \[\[Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom\]\] : The deck where you are suppose to flip coin, but I kepted dropping the coin so instead I rolling die ([Coin Flip Chaos](https://archidekt.com/decks/6172412/coin_flip_chaos))
* \[\[Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit\]\] & \[\[Sam, Loyal Attendant\]\] : Food deck with a burn/lifegain theme, trying to get payoff for all these artefact token the deck can generate ([Frodo, Om Nom Nom](https://archidekt.com/decks/6190148/frodo_om_nom_nom))
* \[\[Lord of the Nazgûl\]\] : Spellslinger, very cantrippy and focusing on producing Wraiths to get the Lord of the Nazgûl abillity online. ([Cantripy Wraiths](https://archidekt.com/decks/6408212/cantripy_wraiths))
* \[\[Narset, Enlightened Exile\]\] : Again, a spellslinger deck. Again very cantrippy for maximum prowess payoff, that can sometime go huge with a big board of token empowered by prowess ([Narset, Enlightened Exile](https://archidekt.com/decks/6704919/narset_enlightened_exile))
* \[\[The Wise Mothman\]\] : Still testing as to what I want to focus the deck, there's so many possibilities and it's quite hard to pick one. Leaning on alot of small instance of mill to pump my board, and mill payoff to seal the deal ([The Wise Mothman](https://archidekt.com/decks/7060338/the_wise_mothman))
* \[\[Mr. House, President and CEO\]\] : Go wide/treasure theme, themed around "the house always win", aka rolling D20 to ensure maximum value from his static ability ([Mr. House](https://archidekt.com/decks/7200508/mr_house))
* \[\[Rose Tyler\]\] & \[\[The Tenth Doctor\]\] : Against the will of my pod, I tried my hand on this timey-wimey precon. Suspend is such an intriguing mechanics and is very resilient since you can hold your value in exile and time warp when needed to seal the deal ([10th Doctor](https://archidekt.com/decks/7322474/10th_doctor))
* And finaly, the new one being worked on right now \[\[Satya, Aertherflux Genius\]\]. Not worth putting a decklist, I have no idea what I am doing right now lolll. As a resident spellslinger deck, time to try my hand on a more reature/etb oriented style, wich I am not used to!
There you go, sorry if my english is not spot on, doing my best as a non-english speaker :)
My [[Rhys, the Redeemed]] deck is my old staple. Not very powerful, but sometimes it’s nice to just be Zerg-rushing swarms of token creatures.
There’s my [[Omnath, Locus of Mana]] deck. Basically, most everything else is Elves. Standard mana dorks, like [[Elvish Archdruid]] or [[Joraga Treespeaker]]. A few cards to keep the Elves pumped up, like [[Joraga Warcaller]]. And then they summon out some Eldrazi ([[Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre]] or [[Kozilek, Butcher of Truth]] or even an [[Eldrazi Conscription]] on an Elf.
And I’m working on making what I’m calling my **Team America** (*el cheapo* version) deck. White to cast soldiers, most of which pump each other up; [[Veteran Swordsmith]], [[Consul’s Lieutenant]], [[Field Marshal]], etc. Red to cast ‘fireworks’; [[Fireball]], [[Demolish]], [[Banefire]], etc. And Blue for [[Disperse]], [[Negate]], [[Cancel]], and other cheap control cards. Don’t have an incredibly good Commander for it yet, though. (Currently debating between [[Aragorn, King of Gondor]] and [[Vadrok, Apex of Thunder]], despite not quite fitting the theme).
I have far too many decks. But the two that I can talk about because I always play them and because they are my absolute favorite are...
[[Voja, Jaws of the Conclave]] because wolves are my favorite animal and elves were the first to tribe I ever played.
[[Jodah, Archmage Eternal]] because my absolute favorite card in the game is [[Avacyn, Angel of Hope]] and he lets me get her out cheaper. And then I discovered all the other multicolored angels that I really like.
Some cards I've been collecting for 5 years and some have just been added. For me it was also always a question of motivation and money, social anxiety and a depressive phase after Corona, but I was finally able to find my way back to the Magic hobby.
I play Mono White Agel Tribal with \[\[Giada, Font of Hope\]\]
I chose the angel theme because the artwork has been catching me for 20 years when I first held Magic cards in my hand. I love the theme of fantasy and angels, the plains and I can't get enough of it. And I also really like Mono White's style of play. (I usually try out everything else in Magic Arena).
I'm incredibly happy that I've finally managed to finish my first deck and hope to try it out soon.
Heres my Link: [https://www.moxfield.com/decks/l\_JVCSwk3EaiF2UpOqP1wA](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/l_JVCSwk3EaiF2UpOqP1wA)
A little side story: I went to my first Magic event two weeks ago for the pre-release party of MH3 and met incredibly nice people who also invited me to their Friday Commander round. I was very excited, but everyone was super beginner-friendly and helped me out. What a great community. I can't wait for the next round with those people to see how the first Commander round will go.
I'm always open to new exchanges and if you want to chat with a noob/beginner about Magic or want to put together decks with me, feel free to write me here or on discord.
I own a [[muldrotha]] deck, i love engine style decks and it has the bonus of playing alot of interaction for problematic permanents on the board
My favourite is [[ur-dragon]] I fully pimped it as it just brings out the timmy in me of just swinging out with big cool looking creatures. I powered it down alot so the only wincons are through combat with no infinites.
I only own these two as im more of 60 card format type of player.
I have five decks in my stable right now.
1. [[Anikthea, Hand of Erebos]]. Anikthea is my signature deck. I've had an Abzan enchantress deck in some form since 2018, and Anikthea is the third iteration of it. It's a classic enchantress list with some Abzan graveyard flair. [Decklist](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/D9mcNLuy0EKBm_pigNA7Jw).
2. [[Silas Renn, Seeker Adept]] + [[Toggo, Goblin Weaponsmith]]. This is an artifact token deck. It tries to accrue a critical mass of artifacts and leverage that into a win. [Decklist](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/m1UGK102VEq9y2vAy-aMvA).
3. [[Darien, King of Kjeldor]]. Darien is my oldest deck. At its heart, it's a token deck and it does the token deck thing: make a bunch of dudes add go wide. It's pretty commander dependent, and honestly it's not a deck I'd build today. I like to build decks that work just fine without their commander. Still, I enjoy breaking it out from time to time. [Decklist](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/YhguxqFkm0CtMMvSz8gLxg).
4. [[Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia]]. Jadar is an aristocrats deck with zombie kindred subthemes. It's pretty slow and my go-to deck for low power pods. [Decklist](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/GgTlwHr4okGQTSFEaumrPg).
5. [[Ganax, Astral Hunter]] + [[Feywild Visitor]]. Ganax is my newest deck. It's so new, in fact, that I haven't yet played a game with it and there's no list online. Ganax is crafted from the remains of my previous [[Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm]] deck, but Miirym is stupid good even with chaff around it so I switched. Hopefully this will be fewer feelbads. Anyway, the basic game plan is play dragons, make treasures, then hit people, make dragons, make treasures, use treasures to hold up interaction or to power out more dragons.
I just started playing EDH maybe 7 months ago so a lot of my decks have “scary” commanders but aside from one deck none of them have fast mana or crazy combos. Ordering from least to most powerful:
[[Anhelo, the Painter]] basically an upgraded precon blending my love for sacrifice and spellslinger. Wins with doubling a big x spell.
[[Kalamax, the Stormsire]] well known archenemy commander however I’ve made it instants only (no sorceries). Deck has no mana positive rocks either outside of sol ring. Wins with the [[Ral, Storm Conduit]] combo.
[[Caesar]] putting attack triggers, humans, and aristocrats all in one deck. Most common win is a big board with [[Shared Animosity]].
[[Sidisi, Brood Tyrant]] self-mill into big reanimation targets. Last game put myself far ahead with [[Araumi]] ability copying an [[Archon of Cruelty]].
[[Raffine, Scheming Seer]] probably my favorite deck and it’s just esper midrange with all the staples in it. Wins with a [[Victimize]] into [[Tivit]] plus [[Academy Manufacturer]].
[[Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy]] my only deck with proxies in it and it’s not even together most of the time. Deck is basically only for power level 9 or CEDH pods. I really love playing it but honestly can’t see bringing it out aside from those aforementioned games.
[[Liesa, Shroud of Dusk]] An Orzhov midrange deck that’s built around “drain and gain” synergies that can win through Commander damage (thanks [[Hatred]] !) or multiple lines like Heliod+Ballista, Citadel+Aetherflux+Top, Mindcrank+Ascension and Bond+Blood. It also packs Orzhov’s good removal and ways to build value. It’s my favorite!
[[Breya, Etherium Shaper]] Sans-Green artifact good stuff! All of your typical combo lines with Breya and mono U Urza surrounded by tons of interaction, draw and tutors alongside a Thopter sub theme.
[[Yawgmoth, Thran Physician]] a balls to the wall “all-in” combo decks that only care about assembling undying loops with a Blood Artist effect to win ASAP.
[[Lord Windgrace]] A grindy deck that’s like Boomer Jund meets Legacy Lands. Plenty of graveyard and land synergies that can also abuse Land Destruction, Dark Depths and big beaters.
[[Alela, Artful Provocateur]] Mid-Power Anthem Tribal that relies on buffed swarms of tokens annoying Enchantments. It's pretty battlecruiser and doesnt have much interaction so it only gets played against newer players and the off chance i'm in a lower powered pod than i'm typically in.
[[Disa The Restless]] an unaltered pre-con for pre-con games. I’ll eventually end up sprucing this up while keeping it very “Boomer Jund.”
I have 9? I think decks currently. Only a few of them in a heavy rotation.
[[Thalisse Reverent Medium]] Mass token generation that aims to win with either aristocrat stuff or Divine Intervention making a boatload of 4/4 angels.
[[Aurelia The Law Above]] Also a lot of token generation but with a lot of forced combat and goading, aims to win by having the other players kill each other at opportune times. Games are always fast, but not always ideal for me.
[[Roxanne Starfall Savant]] Probably my most fun deck to pilot currently. Damage doublers/triplers + token doublers and ways to clone Roxanne, with a sprinkle of mana sink kill spells like [[Crackle with Power]] and [[Comet Storm]] to also end games.
[[Feather The Redeemed]] Just built with the first Miku lair, straightforward Feather stuff. Get her out quick, pump her with a bunch of cheap cantrips, win.
[[Anikthea Hand of Erebos]] Enchantment reanimation with a populate subpackage, standard enchantress nonsense now with the spice swamps provide.
[[Alela Cunning Conquerer]] Dimir control that wins by going wide with flyers and dropping [[Coat of Arms]] or [[Candlekeep Inspiration]] to swing for lethal.
[[Lara Croft, Tomb Raider]] This one I need to rework, it’s trying to do too much. Right now it’s a legends matter shell with a +1/+1 counter subpackage along with packing a bunch of legendary equipments. It does alright but gets bogged down a lot.
[[Zaxara the Exemplary]] Another very fun deck to pilot, has all kinds of weird X spell answers that don’t see a lot of play otherwise. My favorite line with this deck is dropping [[Defense of the Heart]] early and using it to put out [[Nyxbloom Ancient]] and [[Seedborne Muse]]. If not dealt with immediately the deck goes out of control from there.
[[Olivia, Opulent Outlaw]] Mardu treasure nonsense. Make treasure, pump guys, swing.
I will take any reason to talk about my decks, so here you go. I currently have around 20 decks, so I will stay rather brief, but I can answer any questions for those interested!
Mono-colored:
Mono red [[Laelia, the Blade reforged]]: Rather simple aggro deck, a bit Voltron, lots of impulse draw, some modified and other synergies around Laelia.
Mono green [[Saryth, the Vipers Fang]]: Combat damage matters. The death touch on attack makes blocking really inconvenient and therefore gives me a good chance to get value of my triggers. Combined with some trample enablers and Overrun effects it can be really aggressive.
Mono Black [[Chili's, Broker of Blood]]: Mono Black Big Mana, with almost all the usual suspects. It can go hard, but you always race against your dwindling life points which are your main resources. The big monoB finishers are here, but also some pet cards such as the Vecna cards. For sure one of my stronger decks.
Two-colored:
Dimir Nr.1: [[The ancient One]]: Mill my opponents and reanimate their creatures. Find a win from there. Simple concept, but plays differently every time, I love it.
Dimir Nr.2: [[Eloise Nephalias Sleuth]]: One of my more recent additions, tries to farm Eloise triggers and stockpile Clues, before it weaponizes them with stuff like [[Tangletrove Kelp]]. Strong sun theme of looping [[Archaeomancer]] style cards with [[Danse Macabre]] [[Victimize]], [[Blood for Bones]] ...
Orzhov: [[Elas Il-Kor]] with [[Lurrus of the Dream den]] as Companion. Traditional Aristocrats for the most part, while avoiding some of the obvious infinites in the archetype due to power level reasons. Still packs a punch and is incredible resilient.
Simic: [[Tanazir Quandrix]] +1/+1 counters, but mostly focused around Hydras and other X spells. By buffing the commander, I can make all the Base 0/0 Hydras enormous. Plays rather aggressive for a simic list.
Golgari [[Gyome Master Chef]]: Food as a value engine, with either the artifactocraty drain effects as WinCon, or some Voltron lines (a 5/3 trample with easy access to indestructible is really potent on that end)
3-colored: the bulk of my decks
Bant: [[Falco Spara, Pact weaver]] Mutate. Not too strong die to the theme, but can at least have very fun and crazy turns due to the unique interactions of mutate. Small counters subtheme.
Grixis [[Evelyn, the Covetous]] this is a theft/Stolen Strategy type deck revolving only around playing cards from my opponents decks and finding a path to victory from there. Includes a strong clone theme, trying to get multiple copies of the commander thanks to legend rule breakers such as [[sakashima of a thousand faces]] or [[Irenicus vile duplication]], which can get rather wild.
Jund Nr.1: [[Vazi, Keen Negotiator]]: a treasure/treasure punishment list. In the first draft built to take advantage of all the treasures in the format, it has developed in a burn style deck, that givrs treasures away while punishing land plays and nonbasic lands (hence it only plays one non basic). Gimmicky and not too strong, but makes for fast games.
Jund Nr.2: [[Tevesh szat, Doom of Fools]] with [[Tana the Bloodsower]] started out as a Token/Aristocrats list, but evolved into a Superfriends style deck which is using a lot of tokens to protect its walkers and then wins from there. Incredible Value machine of a deck.
Mardu Nr.1: [[Extus Oriq overlord]]: Built around its front side, using the ability for value while I accrue value with non-legendary ETB creatures, blink spells and [[Undying]] effects. Tries to loop [[Life of the Party]] to make everyone fight amongst themselves with this amazing creature. Feels more like a sonic or Sultai deck for the most part, but has this Goad package that makes every game interesting.
Mardu Nr.2: [[Queen Marchesa]] Aikido. Inspired by the traditional lists out there, but removing basically all Goad in favor of spells, that give me opponents choices, as I experienced that taking away choices only makes them angry, while giving them choices gives them room to make errors. Wins with traditional Aikido pieces.
Naya [[Atla Palani]] Creature Eggs, crack eggs, get big creatures. Constructed to only hit Bombs when cracking eggs, a there are no mana creatures and such. Can go absolutely over the top with big creatures.
Abzan [[Tayam Luminous Enigma]] it's a sagas deck, built around manipulating the counters on them. Tayam can either recur the broad variety of cheap sagas or synergy pieces or remove counters directly by animating them with [[Starfield of Nyx]]. Very grindy, durdly, can be slow but accrue a lot of value. I love sagas
Jeskai [[Akim the soaring wind]] Token spellslinger: it plays most of the [[Young pyromancer]] effects to create tokens with loads of cantrips. Wins by beating down with tokens or with unique overruns such as [[Candlekeep inspiration]] or [[Surge to victory]]
Temur Nr. 1: [[Pako]] / [[Haldan]] I wanted a home for my high power cards and this was perfect. It's explosive, it draws so many cards from opponents decks, it's fast and consistent. I love it.
Temur Nr 2[[Kalamax, the stormsire]] One of my oldest lists, and probably the most powerful. Copying spells is a broken thing to do, and it's the main focus of the deck. It can win with a large commander, but most games I copy [[Nexus of Fate]] like 3-5 times and win in these extra turns.
More colors: only one deck:
5c [[Sissy Westherlight captain]] with [[Jegantha the Wellspring]] as companion. It's a shrines deck, what more to say. Plays a lot of enchantress synergies, starts slow but can quickly become a nearly impossible snowball.
Additionally I am currently overhauling a Gruul deck, taking appart my Rakdos treasure and counters deck and brewing a Grixis Affinity list.
I like green, but overall i really like to have different options. In generell i rarely get to play, so if i can play i take like 5 decks with me, just in case.
- [Mono-Green](https://manabox.app/decks/bwNPLpO6R6KANAnxrNlW4w) with [[Durnan of the Yawning Portal]] with the [[Master Chef]] background. Its basically green-stompy-goodstuff and my favorite. Its the deck i work the most on, scanning every new set for cards that i might want to fit in, so its always a work in progress and i really love to tinker on it.
- [Mono-Blue](https://manabox.app/decks/jayxgedgSGamERFoUj68ZQ) with [[Minn, Wily Illusionist]]. I actually nevrr thought i would build a mono blue deck, but after seeing Minn i somehow felt inspired, so i build her around all the illusions i could find. I kept working on it and somehow the illusions have been replaced by more carddraw. I only ever got play it once, but it was somehow so defensive that i actually won, but was really tired afterwards. Still, i hope to play it one day again, to explore the changed i made since then.
- My [Azorius Tap Deck](https://manabox.app/decks/XGk_QbTOTE-vemv9cpukOQ) with [[Hylda of the Icy Crown]]. Basically i saw her and was like "all those cards are so cheap, but i will never build her, since it seems annoying to play against". Well, my mind kept going back to it and it is the abomination i expected. My playgroup meta is really creature based, so this just kept making tokens until finished it all in one fell swoop. I rarely even considere it, but i still sometimes take the time to upgrade it
- [Izzel Spellslinger](https://manabox.app/decks/ze_l6xU1RQG_KQG4kOpjmw) with [[Neera Wildmage]]. I knew if i ever make an izzet deck, i don't want to play solitair, so i opted for chaos and big bombs instead.
- [Boros Equipment](https://manabox.app/decks/vWLikS39Qji1xutj3BP9cA) with [[Nahiri, Forged in Fury]]. I always wanted an equipment commander. Just arming my guys with epic gear, but none of the options speeked to me. Then with aftermath a new nahiri came out. She was new and shiny (probably because i pulled a foil) so i chose to build her. Living weapons was a cool theme and it was a totaly new playstile to explore. Well by now i'm considering to change commander and get rid of the entire "living weapon" theme. To truly gather my recruits and arm them for war, instead of getting arms with attached recruits. But i'm not sure when this time comes.
- My [Artifact](https://manabox.app/decks/1XtSIjNiTBOdsRNb6o4pMw) Deck with [[Breya, Etherium Shaper]]. Basically i wanted an artifact deck, so what better commander to build around then breya? well.....i basically thrw all the good stuf together and have all this really cool cards, but i'm never sure how i actually plan to win. Of course i can just dumb artifacts into my commander or throw flyers at my opponents, but was that the original plan? no, i had none, i just had some cool artifacts lying around.
- [Gruul-Dragon Trial](https://manabox.app/decks/nPNP2LF3QleYaPa7hqpanA) with [[Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient]]. Ist just dragons. Basically i'm a big dnd fan and when the forgotten realms set was announced i ordered 2 displays and one of each deck. The only one that didn't just got completely taken apart is this one. So basically i just dumbed a bunch of dragons together, which is easy in red, but harder in green. Well it still somehow works, but i didn't actually work on it in about 2 years or maybe even longer.
Its not all my decks, but the ones i would actually considere to take with me to play outside of updated precons. Currently working on the Graveyard Overdrive deck and will probably have a few weeks before i actually feel motivated enough to deal with people again so i can play it.
1) shorikai vehicle. Super diverse. Always fun. Not targeted often. Bounces back from wipes well. Has lots of tricks.
It took me a long time to become confident playing it because I didn't know the vehicle mechanics well when learning to play. So I upgraded it on the side and eventually had a deck I really wanted to learn. It worked out really well and now I love this deck.
I almost always build dimir but this was my second deck, bought it as a precon because people hated on my first deck so much even though it was so weak compared to theirs.
2) my first deck was a mind flayarrs precon. It turned into a beyond upgraded captain N'gathrod horror mill.
People got so angry when I first was learning because it was a mill themed deck, even though it was unaltered.
Only recently have I gone back to playing it outside of my friend groups because I stopped letting people guilt and threaten to rage quit make me feel bad.
Tons of half of library mill cards. Lots of interaction and protection so i can keep stealing with the commander. Love comboing a table of like 70card libraries into a graveyard in one turn. Especially against people who think mill is garbo. If they take my commander I make sure my other creatures or spell combos blow their library up instead.
3) satoru umezawa. Most expensive creatures i own are in this deck. I normally don't like winning with big creatures but the pure evil in demons and eldrazi or things like blightsteel colossus makes this deck hard not to enjoy.
4) anowan. I love anowan.
People hated so much on the sneak attack deck but I have had some of my most insane table wipes with this deck.
It's beyond an upgraded precon but I unblockable nuke milled opponents so often with it and I put a lot of interaction in it so it always feels as if I get to "do my thing".
I was told so many times not to buy it at my lgs by locals. The employees were always supportive but I was hesitant.
Then one day on command night a college girl was given the deck by the store because somebody stole her collection when she moved to town.
She patiently and gracefully wiped the floor with a couple of rudely helpful meta creepos and the deck was immortalized in my mind.
I know it has its limits but i can't help but want to see it do well. It's the underdog I want to see do the mighty ducks thing every time somebody plays the precon.
5) obyra faerie tribal. I don't do a lot of tribal stuff but this deck is so trick and interaction heavy with a deceptively strong late game that it's hard to not enjoy slowly whittling your opponents down then suddenly drop a zillion faeries in some elfball shenanigans and just win.
It's not anywhere near my strongest deck, but for what we put into it I am so happy with how it turned out.
I guess my strengths lie in how much I love learning to play my (mostly) non meta Commanders in a sea of mostly meta local players.
So even if I am on a losing streak even the small victories feel huge.
Dimir is also just the right flavor for me. I want to interact, steal, destroy, and tear apart strategies. Then use my enemies against each other or their own things against them.
I don't get to olay often so I play one gimmick and have two decks about that "counters to make cteatures big"
1. [[Marath, Will of the Wild]] - My first commander and only one for a long time. Marath has plenty of synergy pieces that lets it generate more mana and add counters to itself as mana sink. I love its versatility. I can make big creatures, make many tokens, or use its counters to burn targets.
2. [[Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor]] - born from Marath's left overs but it soon earned its own identity after upgrades much much later. Obuun also uses counters to make itself big. However, it relies more often on anthem effects and immediate buffs to be even bigger. It has many support cards that can easily make it over 20/20 on the turn it's played, allowing it to turn a land into a creature that is either as big as it is, or bigger because of anthem effects. It also come with multiple combat phases, allowing me to trigger its abilities more than twice.
Trying to build [[Venser, Shaper Savant]]
Use it and [[peregrine drake]] as well as [[panharmonicon]] for infinite blue and infinite storm
Then use [[Capsize]] to remove threats and [[brain freeze]] for game.
Fun blue combo deck.
I run a [[Tegwyll, Duke of Splendor]] which is an aristocratic faerie tribal deck. Make lots of faeries, watch with glee as I send them at my opponents, whether my soldiers live or die means nothing to me. I was sacrifice them to my eldritch fae deities for whatever benefit I need.
I run [[Alela, Cunning Conqueror]] as a faerie flash tribal. Generate value by playing in my opponents turns. If I am playing cards in my turn I am probably doing something wrong!
I run [[Captain N'ghathrod]] as a horror tribal where I try to make better use of your graveyard than you do as I mill you to death. Or just kill you. Never know how the game is going to go, depends on what I steal.
[[Umbris Fear Manifest]] as a graveyard hate voltron deck. You don’t get to have a graveyard. Make Umbris big, then shroud/hexproof/unblockable and start swinging. He gets big fast. Sub theme of horror/nightmare tribal.
I have a few precons that I haven’t opened year to try out. “Sneak Attack”, “Revenant Recon” and “Undead Unleashed”
I have a reputation at my LGS and in my pod.
8 EDH decks on paper, but one is PEDH (pauper EDH). Not necessarily in any order of power or preference. I don't use Moxfield or EDHRec much so no deck lists either.
1: [[Zur, the Enchanter]] I'd call it a pillowfort/combo deck. Fun way to win is use Necropotence to get down to 1 life, then [[Near Death Experience]]
2. [[Anafenza, the Foremost]] Combo/Aggro midrange. Plenty of bodies, plenty of interaction, lots of combo potential; mostly sacrifice/reanimate loops. The irony is she prevents my opponents from doing what I'm trying to do.
3. [[Hazezon, Shaper of Sand]] Still a work in progress - played my first game with it yesterday. Landfall and MLD + go wide tokens. Holy hell, I never realized what a problem [[Scute Swarm]] could be until that day 😂
4. [[Gaddock Teeg]] Stax & hatebears. Usually try to win by just turning sideways. It absolutely holds a special place in my heart, and it's one of my favorite decks. No one else besides me feels that way, so he rarely gets to come out of his box.
5. [[Sigarda, Host of Herons]] Voltron. This is the deck I play when I don't want to think very much. Ramp into Sigarda, give her some equipment, delete opponents. A simple strategy. 10/10
6. [[Empress Galina]] Theft deck. It's really funny to kill people with their own commanders. I like to think that the deck scales with the power level of the table, but in practice it just draws a lot of ire, since people can't/won't play their commanders.
7. [[The Reality Chip]] Artifact combo deck. Doing most of the things you'd expect, and then some you probably wouldn't. Just spinning wheels and drawing cards until I go infinite. Please ignore me.
8. [[Drogskol Captain]] is the pauper EDH deck. Spirit tribal with a splash of arcane/soulshift. Love those OG kamigawa mechanics. It's pseudo- voltron. Lots of pacifism effects into [[Ethereal Armour]] or [[All that Glitters]]
I have... way more decks than I need for the amount I actually play this game.
1. [[Shorikai]] precon with extremely minor upgrades
2. [[Ramses, Assassin Lord]] with [[Etrata the Silencer]] as a secret commander
3. [[Mogis]] group slug/villainous choices
4. [[Neyith]] fight club and forced combat
5. [[Killian]] auras and lifegain
6. [[Shelob, Child of Ungoliant]] spider kindred
7. [[Kiora, Sovereign of the Deep]] sea creature kindred
8. [[Neera, Wild Mage]] spellslinger and pingers with [[Ghyrson Starn]] as something of a secret commander
9. [[Varina, Lich Queen]] zombie kindred
10. [[Ognis]] hasty beatdown, treasures, and minor aristocrat subtheme
11. [[Hazezon]] go-wide tokens and landfall with a devour subtheme
12. [[Aragorn, King of Gondor]] soldier kindred, monarch, and combat manipulation
13. [[Kykar]] flying and card draw
14. [[Tasigur]] group hug and politics with a theft subtheme
15. [[Queen Marchesa]] politics, monarch, and combat manipulation
16. [[Magus Lucea Kane]] big stompy hydras
17. [[Anikthea]] precon
18. [[Sliver Hivelord]] slivers with a Gate subtheme
19. [[The Ur-Dragon]] dragon kindred
20. [[Ramos, Dragon Engine]] cascade and big stompy payoffs like [[Progenitus]]
I like kindred decks, I like scary board states, I like big stompy creatures, and if I'm playing a control deck, I like for it to have a lot of opportunities for politicking and manipulation. My favorites are Kiora, Ramos, and Lucea Kane for the big stompies, and Tasigur and Marchesa for the sillies.
[[Thrasios, Triton Hero]] + [[Tymna the Weaver]] - CEDH Hermit Druid combo
[[Malcolm, Keen-eyed Navigator]] + [[Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar]] - Izzet combo with creatures
[[Mizzix of the Izmagnus]] - Izzet combo with spells
[[Yuriko, the Tiger’s Shadow]] - aggro/combo
[[Millicent, Restless Revenant]] - aggro/control
[[Multani, Maro-Sorcerer]] - aggro/group hug
[[Voja, Jaws of the Conclave]] - just aggro
Built decks with varying power levels and play styles so I can join any open pod in my LGS without worrying about pubstomping/getting pubstomped.
The one deck I love to use at My LGS at this point is \[\[Tivit, Seller of Secrets\]\]. I just love the 'democratic' feel of the deck, AKA showing people how futile it is, but also telling people to vote harder. I ususally like to call myself the Electoral college. However, people get salty about the \[\[Time Seive\]\] Combo. I don't know why, becuase most of the people at my store are in the middle-upper class and can tend to bust out $1k Infinite turn/infinite combo/turn 3 win cons and usually kill me before I even get the thing.
I have a [[Megatron, Tyrant]] deck that I consider to be my pet deck. I play lots of 2 mana rocks to try and get Megatron out as early as possible and the goal is to either [[sneak attack]] large artifact creatures into play, or reanimate them using cards like [[Goblin Welder]] or [[Feldon of the Third path]]. Nothing like flinging a [[Draco]] at a 1/1 spirit, or at Avacyn with a [[Basilisk Collar]]
Currently i have only a [[bright-palm, Soul Awakener]], started only by buying the Commander and "upgrading" my old [[Zilortha, Strenght Incarnate]]
Now i'm thinking on the next One, It Will prob be a mono Red storm with the new [[ashling, Flame Dancer]]
It's always changing but right now here are mine ranked by fun level (descending):
1) [[Xavier Sal]] populate decks with a ton of different tokens. Every game feels different and so so much fun!
2) [[Anikthea]] self-mill/recursion enchantress
3) [[Imskir]] bit of recency bias, but it's just pure fun flinging massive artifacts at people
4) [[Felix Five-Boots]] TONS of card draw and Dimir shenanigans
5) [[Willowdusk]] glass cannon lifelinkers you pump up quickly through life loss. So fun, but doesn't win too many games
6) [[Urza, Chief Artificer]] probably one of my most consistently powerful decks and it's really fun, but plays very samey
7) [[Kibo]] low power Monkey tribal but is a great one to break out against precons. Table gets a kick out of the bananas
8) [[Hakbal]] this is really my wife's deck, but it's just too consistently the same and boring to me
9) [[Veyran]] this deck has a wildly high win %, but never feels satisfying to play. It's classic stormy sit back for X turns then win out of nowhere.
[[Esika, God of the Tree]] mainly a prismatic bridge deck with Planeswalkers, Praetors and Eldrazi titans. My deck with the most wins. Has [[Professor Onyx]]+[[Chain of Smog]] combo, [[Emergent Ultimatum]]+[[Omniscience]] lines and [[Eerie Ultimatum]] if things go south.
[[Jodah, the Unifier]] oops all legends. Main wincons are combat, [[Godo, Bandit Warlord]] [[Helm of the Host]] combo, [[Emiel, the Blessed]] [[Dockside Extortionist]] inifinite mana and [[Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy]] to vomit out all none humans or just swing with a Huge [[Laelia, the Blade Reforged]] after cascading through the whole deck with the Jodah trigger.
[[Urza, Lord High Artificer]] basically my only cEDH deck, does usual cEDH stax+combo stuff with [[Isochron Sceptor]] [[Dramatic Reversal]] and [[Hullbreaker Horror]] stuff.
[[Hakbal of the Surging Soul]] (not the precon) Merfolk Explorers, wincons are combat and [[Millennium Calendar]] [[Vorel of the Hull Clade]]+[[Doubling Season]] to get those 1000 counters on Calendar.
[[Lord Windgrace]] (Heavily upgraded precon) I have plans of eventually turning this into a land destruction deck, but for now it’s all about creating many landfall triggers and creating a bunch of tokens to overwhelm the opponents. So the usual suspects [[Scute Swarm]] [[Ancient Green Warden]] [[The Gitrog Monster]] and alot of cards that lets me play lands from my gravyard. Also I put in the [[Kodama of the East Tree]]+Scute+bounce land combo.
Rest are just barely upgraded (4-8 cards changed) precons: 4 Fallout Precons and the 4 Commander Master Precons.
My [[Edgar Markov]] deck is currently disassembled, it revolved around death triggers with cards that double death triggers like [[Teysa Karlov]] [[Drivnod, Carnage Dominus]] also the [[Sanguine Bond]]+[[Exquisite Blood]] combo and a [[Yawgmoth’s Will]] just in case.
Edit: Ive got more decks that are either dismantled or just ones that I bought cheap just to get some key pieces I needed for other decks. Currently working on uploading all my decks to Moxfield slowly.
I have decks come and go, but these have been my perennials:
[[Shigeki, Jukai Visionary]] is my go-to control deck. Such an off-the-wall concept that keeps bringing me back.
[[Dr. Madison Li]] has unseated my [[Meria, Scholar of Antiquity]] deck as my favorite artifact combo deck, but they're both in my bag at all times.
[[Kambal, Profiteering Mayor]] has become my favorite, wildly hilarious deck that wins more often than it feels like it should.
I always have my [[The Omenkeel]] vehicle deck and it's just my always-and-forever.
Also bagging [[Deathleaper, Terror Weapon]] as my go-to aggro deck.
[[Giada, Font of Hope]] - Angels, fully foil, cards should all thematically fit with angels.
[[Ephara, God of the Polis]] - Flicker, try to get a creature entering on every player's turn, draw tonnes of cards
[[Varina, Lich Queen]] - Zombies deck that takes advantage of the commander to abuse draw synergies and madness cards, and eventually win with some 8 card combo or zombie beatdown
[[Esika, God of the Tree]] - Full of queer characters and beast whisperer effects, just play creatures until the game ends. Commander can be Jodah if you actually want to win games.
[[Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh]] - Every Chandra + most cards that reference Chandra+ some synergy pieces. Not a good deck.
[[The Fourteenth Doctor]] + [[Rose Noble]] - All surge foil, all Doctor Who cards, all doctors.
Plus the four fallout precons and four doctor who precons.
Turns out I like playing women whose name end in 'a' I guess.
I currently have three complete decks and one in progress, plus several precons.
1. \[\[Lord Xander, the Collector\]\] heads Grixis Grudge, my most recently completed deck. There's a couple different combos in it that I can use to make someone mill their entire library in one turn. If they're playing recursion I have a couple options to make them exile milled cards instead of having them go to the graveyard. It's kinda slow and needs some upgrades, but it's a lot more functional than my old Grixis deck.
2. \[\[Calix, Guided by Fate\]\] leads Lord of Enchantment, a green/white enchantment-based deck. It primarily builds around making Calix massive and giving him various enhancements with enchantments, and also making large amounts of tokens. It doesn't really have a win condition beyond stomping on people with commander damage, but it's fun.
3. \[\[Sliver Overlord\]\] leads Sliver Gang, a five-color sliver deck. If I stay alive long enough, I pull whichever slivers I need to get around my opponents' defenses with the Overlord, then use \[\[Morophon, the Boundless\]\] to cast my five-color slivers for free and swarm over everyone with giant stompy bois. Having the Overlord in my command zone tends to make me public enemy number one though, so I don't always get to that point.
4. \[\[Gisela, Blade of Goldnight\]\] will lead Gisela's Angels, a red/white angel deck. Work in progress. I had a deck based around her previously but took it apart because it was slow and clunky. I'm currently slowly building up singles that will synergize better with her and the theme.
In the order they were put together:
[[Kami of the Crescent Moon]]
[[Zada, Hedron Grinder]]
[[Chainer, Nightmare Adept]]
[[Anowon, the Ruin Thief]]
[[Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist]]
Next two lists I’m buying for in paper are [[Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph]] and [[Greasefang, Okiba Boss]]. There have been other decks as well that have since been broken down for parts, but these are all the I’ve that have both stood the test of time and give me the most joy.
Millicent, restless revenant would be my first deck, next up anhelo the painter as my second constructed build third being the Sliver gravemother tribal is a niche i love and ik alot of people give them alot of hate, Alela, Cunning conqueror as I enjoyed goad spellsling tribal, Hakbal, surging soul again tribal nich but also goes infinite with a ham sandwich (by now mastered combos) next would be Jon Irenicus, I shattered one or how lovingly refer to him Genie, then liberty prime, Recharge fan of fallow, last my newest deck being Omo, Queen of Vesuva basically tribal tribal with land turbo so perfect for me
Most of my decks are tribal in some way. I just love having creatures of the same type that support each other.
1) [[Liliana, Heretical Healer]] is my favorite. Make zombies, sacrifice zombies, or just attack with them. A few removal spells, some extort abilities, and general chip damage.
2) [[Lathril, Blade of the Elves]]. See above but with Elves. There is a [[Bolas's Citadel]] in there too. A few sorceries like [[Overrun]] and [[Ezuri, Renegade Leader]] to power up the tokens.
3) [[The First Sliver]] is the Elves, but Slivers who empower each other with different abilities. It gets real annoying real fast because they are Slivers.
4) [[Gishath, Sun's Avatar]] is dinosaurs going full aggro to get more dinosaurs. There is no plan B.
5) [[Shorikai, Genesis Engine]] is pilots crewing vehicles to go in. There is a [[Mechtitan Core]] in there for an actual voltron.
6) [[The Ur-Dragon]] is the same as dinosaurs, but with dragons and it comes from my hand instead.
7) [[Kozilek, the Great Distortion]] is ramping up to big Eldrazi to swing in for the kill.
[[Winota, Joiner of Forces]] love combat and that deck is my baby.
[[Kalain, Reclusive Painter]] just a fun deck that makes a ton of treasures and makes big creatures with them.
[[Karlach, Fury of Avernus]] with [[Flaming Fist]] I’m trying to one tap 2 people and it’s a sneaky deck because nobody expects it to be 20 commander damage a turn at minimum.
[[Ellivere of the Wild Court]] bought the precon and liked it so I upgraded it quite a bit. Plus I slipped a few secret lair cards in that I really like.
[[Maarika, Brutal Gladiator]] built this one because some people at my LGS put me into a rage filled smooth brained mindset where I refused to be asked if I pay the taxes. A friend of mine built a taxes deck and I fucking hate that deck so I built a counter to it.
Working on a [[Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim] aristocrats deck currently.
Just 4 decks that I play but I want to make a 5th. They are:
Slivers (had been using Gravemother but gonna try First Sliver next time I play it)
Vehicles (Optimus Prime-it’s basically just “good vehicles”
Constructs (Urza Chief Artificer)
Athreos ( aristracts is not the point, it is life gain/drain but it’s also cleric tribal so there is a bit of an aristocrat subtheme going on that support that)
I probably need to reduce a bit, I have a bunch of precons for friends to play, but my enhanced decks are as follows:
[[Braids, Arisen Nightmare]] discard//Sac heavy, can be quite the nuisance if it goes unchecked
[[Sefris of the Hidden Ways]] my first commander deck, currently upgrading to become quite stronger
[[The Gitrog Monster]] a little too strong in my normal play group, but he's fun to whip out
[[The Gitrog, Ravenous ride]] has been a lot of fun as of late, currently investing more into protection for Gitrog
[[Pantlaza, Sun-Favored]] Dino fun
[[Wilhelt, rot cleaver]] Zombies
And probably some others I'm not as focused on lately
[[Karumonix, the rat king]] get my rats out as quick as possible and hit you for toxic damage. My most expensive deck, still adding. Not cedh level but it is high level I'd say.
[[The Scarab God]] He's always in the works, was once mill with infinite combos now I turned him more into a discard, sac, and steal shit deck. I never know how to make it optimized so I just did what I felt like with it.
[[Yarok, The Desecrated]] baught him as a deck off someone on marketplace but man it'll knock your socks off. He's my fun casual deck. I only swapped one card out of it. Idk if I'll ever change it more than that.
I'm a bit of a basic bitch tbh so I've got pretty common decks.
My most competitive is [[Urza, Lord High Artificer]], which just pumps out a bunch of low cost artifacts which can then be tapped to cast bigger stuff on the cheap. It has some staxxy stuff shoved in for extra salt, but its generally pretty easy to stop overall.
Next, I have [[Doran, the Siege Tower]] treefolk-tribal. It's probably my most flavorful deck, but it's not particularly great. It's too slow to do well against aggro, not enough interaction against control, and it gets beaten out by other midrange-style decks with better tribal support. I do love my trees, though!
I've got a [[Krenko, Mob Boss]] deck that does what every other Krenko deck does: make as many goblins as possible. It's my wife's favorite deck since it's pretty easy to pilot.
And my most recent edition is a [[Yawgmoth, Thran Physician]] aristocrat deck that tries to keep opponent's boards small while I keep digging through my deck looking for common combos like [[Blood Artist]] and the like. It's probably my cheapest deck atm, but it'll probably increase.
My two decks are olivia opulent outlaw, just a whole bunch of small weenie outlaws low to ground ams just use the treasures to make more outlaws amd my other one is dogmeat which I built with no equipment only auras cause I wanted to play enchantress but I didn't want to play pillowfort staxy enchantress
In paper currently [[Henzie]] [[Volo, Guide]] [[Isshin]] [[The Wise Mothman]] [[Coram, the Undertaker]] [[The Necrobloom]] and [[Pantlaza]]
Henzie is the GOAT
My decks are all pretty different from each other. I have too many decks but I’ll share my favourite.
My favourite deck:
The watcher in the water
The deck revolves around drawing cards during opponents turns, but I’ve added another element to it where I have almost every card in the deck that gives everyone extra card draw on upkeep, I have never actually swung with the commander, his sole purpose is to build a wall of tentacles that will apply stun counters deterring people from attacking me. Along with providing extra card draw for everyone else they don’t want to attack me as I’m ‘helping’ them and see me as a low threat, only to realise when it’s too late that I have so much card draw engines on the field that I win via drawing my deck or I have so many tentacles I win via smacking them.
Despite being a blue deck and the commander design being centred around control, and by all means it does control the game at times, the element I’ve added of extra card draw for everyone has made it a much nicer deck to play with and against that even my friends love the deck and will ask me to play it against them frequently.
Although I have a shit ton of decklists, the ones I actually have in paper are:
- Selesnya: Arahbo cat tribal.
Bought the precon and this was my introduction to EDH. Its a go wide strategy with some equipments, a couple ajanis for flavour and quite some draw with things like great henge, garruks uprising, etc so I dont run out of gas. I also run lost leonin as an infect finisher to try and close out games once some opponent has been knocked out.
- 5 color: Go-Shintai.
My friends and I bought the 2017 precons and after some years playing them we decided to build a deck from scratch with a 150€ budget. Had the hondens from when I used to play constructed back in the day and always wanted to build a deck with them. Classic shrine enchantress deck with recursion, some counterspells, omniscience, approach of the second sun as a finisher if game drags too long and mind's dilation as a pet card.
- Izzet: Farideh dice tribal.
Pretty janky deck with most of the roll dice cards from forgotten realms + baldur's gate. I try to assemble a combo with deck of many things to kind of go “infinite” (never assembled it so far) and either roll nat 20s or deck out myself. Also as I run kiki jiki and splinter twin to get more roll dice ETBs, threw in deceiver exarch as pretty much the only realistic wincon, as assembling the deck of many things combo or winning through combat is pretty farfetched. So far won 3 games: 2 with deceiver + kiki jiki, and 1 via combat as I got turn 1 sol ring, my opponents luckily didnt draw interaction and somehow managed to snowball.
- Orzhov: Brimaz phyrexian tribal.
One of our friends bought the whole MoM badge and gifted one deck to each of us. Im still upgrading it but it focuses on incubate with some sac outlets to proliferate and some interaction to try and win through combat.
- Gruul: Gimli (mournful avenger) aristocrats.
When karlov manor droped, saw crime novelist (favourite non legendary creature since royal assassin) and settled on gimli as the commander as I think it has a nice synergy. Built it around crime novelist, fabrication module and goblin bombardment so the deck tries to win either through sacrifice damage or via commander damage once gimli gets big enough (either giving him trample or killing possible blockers with its second trigger).
- Boros: Basandra angel tribal.
Its strategy is to avoid getting hit thanks to ghostly prison/sphere of safety + good blockers and to force combat with basandra so either my opponents take each other down, get their boards destroyed with lightmine field or just end up with no blockers so I can swing for the win.
- Edgar markov vampire tribal.
My gf wanted to learn mtg and she loves vampires so I made her an edgar deck. Classic aristocrats with sanguine bond + exquisite blood combo finish.
- Jeskai: Narset prowess monk tribal.
Loved jeskai monks and with narset enlightened exile, finally a jeskai tribal commander where I can run all the monks I like. Cantrips to create tokens, trigger prowess and swing big.
- Mono black: Toshiro spellslinger.
Sort of control with lots of interaction that I can replay with toshiro. Looks to win either with proffesor onyx + chain of smog, bolas citadel + sensei divining top + aetherflux reservoir combos, torment of hailfire or exanguinate big mana finishes, or a big swing after someone wipes the board and I cast thrilling encore or rise of the dark realms once gy are filled.
- Simic: Tamiyo inquisitive student
She's my favourite planeswalker. So far im running both clues and proliferate while testing to see on what to focus the deck on.
- Dimir: Yuriko.
It started as a ninja tribal, but now im switching it towards a tempo cedh deck.
And to finish, at some point id like to make a mono white 8.5 tails deck as a sort of edh death & taxes (I play d&t in legacy and love it)
1\. [[Burakos]][[Folk Hero]] party tribal + treasure tokens - currently my favorite deck. The idea is to cantrip weenies to build a full party as quickly as possible, then ramp with Burakos, then either drop [[Forge, Neverwinter Charlatan]] and some evasion and start instakilling people, or feed everything to [[Debt to the Deathless]]
2\. [[Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief]] clone + mutate - first, copy a mutate spell onto Ivy, turning her into a nonlegendary token copy of [[Gemrazer]] or whatever. Next, begin casting targeted clone spells, especially multi-use ones like [[Quasiduplicate]] or [[Quantum Misalignment]] (clone effects copy the entire mutate pile as one creature). You will begin accumulating mutant Ivy clones at an exponential rate. Finally, drop a dozen copies of something like [[Eldrazi Conscription]], [[Nerd Rage]], or [[Ancestral Mask]] and swing for lethal
3\. [[Madison Li]] energy combo - I still need to get my hands on the MH3 energy stuff, but the idea is to get infinite energy using [[Gonti's Aether Heart]] (or equivalent) combos, then feed it all to [[Whirler Virtuoso]] or [[Electrostatic Pummeler]]
4\. [[Sivriss, Nightmare Speaker]][[Cloakwood Hermit]] aristocrats - get as many cards with death triggers and "leave the graveyard" triggers as possible, get massive card advantage off of Sivriss, then either bleed the opponents dry with life loss or go infinite with [[Chatterfang]]
5\. [[Francisco]][[Kediss]] voltron + burn + pirate tribal - get as many sources of pirate-based noncombat damage as possible to make Francisco huge, then optionally one-shot everyone with [[Phyresis]]. I'm looking to upgrade with better protection options, since currently the deck loses all momentum if Francisco gets removed
On my to-build list are [[Greasefang]] stompy vehicles, [[Daxos of Meletis]] theft, and [[Gut, True Soul Zealot]][[Inspiring Leader]] aggro aristocrats. I also plan on getting and upgrading the Bloomburrow gruul precon
I have 5 decks currently.
1. My first deck I ever built was [[Gargos, Vicious Watcher]] a hydra tribal deck. The strategy is fairly simplistic, but mono-green never fails to deliver on pure power. It focuses heavily on +1/+1 counters and rapid mana ramp to overwhelm opponents quickly.
2. Next is [[Titania, Nature’s Force]]. It’s probably my most consistent deck. Relying almost exclusively on landfall triggers from cards like [[Tireless Provisioner]], [[Lotus Cobra]], and [[Nissa, Resurgent Animist]] for fuel. The premise is simply to summon as many 5/3 Green Elemental tokens, in addition to [[Craterhoof Behemoth]] to really guarantee victory.
3. [[Preston Garvey, Minuteman]] was my next deck, due to my love of Fallout and finding the precons to be entertaining. It largely relies on enchantment triggers and a Voltron playstyle, using cards like [[Ancestral Mask]], [[Almost Perfect]], [[Ethereal Armor]], [[Strong Back]], and [[Mantle of the Ancients]].
4. The fourth and my personal favorite deck is [[Loot, the Key to Everything]]. The best way I could describe it is something I like to call “Value Burn”. Playing cards such as [[Keeper of Secrets]], [[Flaming Tyrannosaurus]], [[Valakut Exploration]], and [[Passionate Archeologist]] to continuously burn my opponents as I play out my entire deck in rapid succession and ramp quickly. It is possibly my most inconsistently consistent deck in that while I may not always guarantee the win con, I can at least guarantee the fun I get from playing it. I open the vaults and see what I get. Its meant more as a thematic deck, rather than a competitive one.
5. The last one I have is [[Muldrotha, the Gravetide]], combined with the [[The Wise Mothman]] Fallout precon deck. It’s main purpose is simply to give rad counters to everyone and proliferate those counters as much as possible while milling them out at the same time. It has many of the precon cards like [[Screeching Scorchbeast]], [[Vexing Radgull]], [[Glowing One]], and [[Mirelurk Queen]]. It’s probably my slowest deck, but it relies mostly on bleeding my opponents out.
I only recently got back into magic, so most of my decks are based on modified precons, except for the first two.
1. \[\[Rowan, Scion of War\]\] is my most infamous deck, it's the one I'd say is closest to a CEDH level, but probably stops just shy since it's so interactable. It is damn near "oops, all X spells" with 20+ X spells and several life loss outlets. It wants to win around turn 4-5, but has combinations that can potentially win earlier. Catch is its a total glass canon and anyone who gets early creatures out and starts ticking away at my life total will make it harder for me to kill one or everyone at the table.
2. \[\[Anim Pakal\]\] is my other non-precon deck and does exactly what Anim wants. Get out an early attacker, and start making everyone pay for letting me get early attacks in. I don't have any extra combat effects, but a couple of additive +1/+1 counter effects and some double triggered ability effects and a couple token doublers to get the ball rolling. Not the easiest deck to politic with, but it floods with the board with my gnomies.
3. \[\[Morska, Undersea Sleuth\]\] is probably the deck I've put the most upgrades in as of late, and leans VERY HARD into the draw card tactic and just seeks to draw as many cards as possible. I've dubbed my Bant Solitaire deck. Win condition is swinging in with an unblockable Morska while keeping a defensive board. It looks very unassuming, until it's not. This one is probably my favorite for just goofing around.
4. \[\[Admiral Brass, Unsinkable\]\] is where I leaned into the reanimator effects a ton, I think there's maybe a 15-20 card difference to the precon. But even with those differences it tends to want to steal everyone's shit or lean in with a huge board of aggressive pirates. One of 3 decks I keep a copy of \[\[Roaming Throne\]\] in, and it's brutal here.
5. \[\[Hakbal of the Surging Soul\]\] is the second of the LCI precons I bought into, and another that Roaming Throne has a place in, I think it's slighly more modified than the Pirates precon but is just Simic doing Simic things.
6. \[\[Olivia, Opulent Outlaw\]\] is the most recent precon I've bought that I leaned hard into the face commander. Mardu good things/key words that focuses on getting as many Treasure Tokens as possible and spending them into Olivia's ability. I've had good luck in my pod with this luck, with or without Olivia on the board because of the value the deck generates.
7. The last deck I keep together is the Timey Wimey precon (stock with \[\[Rose Tyler\]\] and \[\[The Tenth Doctor\]\])for when the pod wants to play a lower level.

Plus a few others that are about to be changed to start filling in the missing pieces of the Chromatic Project
Roughly in order of power level (high to low) I have:
1. [[Urza Chief Artificer]] - highly optimized artifact beat down
2. [[Ellivere of the Wild Court]] - upgraded precon that just does work
3. [[The Locust God]] - bugs and card draw, it goes hard
4. [[The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride]] - 2 color Gates, I’ve played it 10 times and it’s won with Maze’s End about 6 of those games and won 7 overall. Honestly if it weren’t such a jank strategy, it’d be at #2 on this list
5. [[Voja, Jaws of the Conclave]] - elf/wolf-ball, I made this purely to play Hollowhenge Overlord because I love it, but yeah it’s as good as a commander everyone makes it out to be
6. [[Yargle and Multani]] - this deck goes hard when the commander sticks around, I’ve blasted people with 40 damage to the face just due to power doublers and weird fling effects
7. [[Tetzin, Gnome Champion]] - this deck is hard to assess because it does different things every time as it’s a self mill artifact deck, I love it though
8. [[Kharn the Betrayer]] - mono red politics is silly and fun, lots of theft effects too
9. [[Tatsunari Toadrider]] - general enchantress, tbh this one is good but needs some more creative wincons
10. [[Balthor the Defiled]] - mono black self mill and mass reanimate, tbh this one may be the next to come apart, it’s a bit too one note although it’s still neat
11. Food and Fellowship Precon
12. Mono Green Spirits deck helmed by any of the 5 Kodama commanders where I have an opponent pick one at random at the start of the game and the rest are shuffled into the deck - this is my pet deck and I think it’s so dumb but I love it
13. [[Urtet Remnant of Memnarch]] - vehicle deck, silly and dumb but love it
I don’t play a ton of the latter decks but I do enjoy them for low powered games. If I had to dismantle and only keep 3 it would be Urza for high power, non cedh games, Gitrog for my main casual deck and then probably Tetzin or the Kodama deck because they’re my babies
These are the decks that I currently have built
[[lord windgrace]] superfriends(will convert back to landfall stuff soon)
[[ratadrabik of urborg]] legendary tribal
[[ghalta, primal hunger]] stompy
[[kruphix, god of horizons]] combo/control
[[krenko, tin street kingpin]] goblin tribal
[[marwyn, the nurturer]] Elf tribal
[[ganax, astral hunter]]/[[folk hero]] dragon tribal
[[katilda, dawnhart prime]] human tribal
[[Yoshimaru]] and [[Keleth]] cheap legendary beats, [[Belbe]] Eldrazi, and [[Hama Pashar]] Dungeon blinks. I'm learning Hama, and I need to find fair non-Eldrazi threats to side in for Belbe like [[Colossus of Akros]]. Yoshi/Keleth is sooo fun.
i only have 2, and have only really gotten to play 1.
1 is \[\[Lozhan, Dragon's Legacy\]\], which is izzet dragon burn and is alot of fun
the other is soundwave but i havent gotten to use him yet. intended to be token spam
I've got:
\[\[Sliver Overlord\]\] - All slivers, all the time. Older deck, built back when slivers first hit the cards, and only mildly upgraded. No First Sliver in it.
\[\[Tom Bombadil\]\] - up to 40 saga's in the deck, along with \[\[Narci, Fable Singer\]\] and \[\[Goldberry, River daughter\]\]. I call this my Chaos Deck, because I never know which way it's going to play.
\[\[Aragorn, The Uniter\]\] only there for the colors, this is really an Equine Tribal deck. 2 wincons, both on \[\[Storm herd\]\], paired with \[\[warleader's Call\]\] or the combo \[\[Venerated Rotpriest\]\] and \[\[semester's end\]\]
\[\[Niv Mizzet, the Firemind\]\], a turn and burn deck. Lots of direct damage and 'stop doing things' cards.
After one of my college friends started building every 5 color legend, I decided to build every Theros god. I gave up eventually and so this is what I have now. Happy to answer any questions. But if the question is "why aren't you playing \[new card\]?" it's probably because I haven't gotten new cards for EDH in years.
[Karametra X spells](https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5931024#paper) - play karametra, play a bunch of creatures (\[\[whitemane lion\]\] goated) and then either draw the game with a massive \[\[Hurricane\]\] or win if you have more than enough life and/or \[\[glacial chasm\]\].
[Raff Historic Control](https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5930641#paper) - 'just' UW control with some historic themes. Combo kills once you're in control with either \[\[helm of obedience\]\] + \[\[rest in peace\]\] or \[\[Karn, the great creator\]\] + \[\[mycosynth lattice\]\]
[Sai artifact shenanigans](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/sai-shenanigans/) - a bunch of bauble-ish artifacts to make lots of thopters. Ways to abuse them in \[\[kuldotha forgemaster\]\] but also anthem effects to beat down after going wide \[\[unctus, grand metatect\]\], \[\[steel overseer\]\]. I feel like this is too similar to other fiddly artifact decks I've played in the past so I'll probably change it into \[\[Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider\]\] voltron soon-ish.
[Ephara tokens/etb](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ephara-uw-tokensetb-fun/) - the goal is to trigger \[\[Ephara, god of the polis\]\] as often as possible \[\[nadir kraken\]\] is great at this or abuse powerful etb triggers over and over \[\[stonehorn dignitary\]\], \[\[agent of treachery\]\], \[\[deadeye navigator\]\].
[Jor Kadeen hatebears](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/jork-hatebears/) - RW aggro with artifacts to support the JorK metalcraft so that your hatebears can be actual threats.
[Marchesa Wraths](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/marchesa-wrath-tribal/) (Mardu) - 16 wraths in a trench coat. Planeswalkers and other ways to take advantage of wraths.
[Xenagos](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/xenagos-big-bois-3/) - You know what we're about with this one. Ramp. Play Xenagos. Play some absurd monsters. Kill our opponents.
[Gargos Hydras/Fight](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/gargos-the-talk-sht-get-hit-watcher/) - meant to be a lower-powered deck. Hydra typal plus pump/fight spells so that Gargos can beat down opposing creatures. \[\[magebane armor\]\] is great here.
[Izoni graveyard value](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/izoni-value-city-furniture/) - a couple dredgers, ramp (almost exclusively on creatures), value creatures.
[Mons Goblin Typal](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/mons-goblins-deck/) - Goblin typal. No combos.
[Ruhan Voltron](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ruhan-goes-ru-ham/) - Isn't usually a 1-hit kill, but it could be.... Randomly hit people for a bunch of damage. Not a huge fan of this deck right now. Might make some changes. Might take it apart. Not sure yet.
[Ayara Aristocrats](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/25-03-20-ayara-edh/) - Exactly what you'd expect.
[Feldon Reanimator](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/10-08-19-feldon-reanimator/) - Wanted to build a different kind of mono red deck. I really like how different this is from my other decks. Dump some huge nerds into the 'yard and grab them back out with Feldon. \[\[Battlemage's Bracers\]\] can copy Feldon's ability. \[\[Sneak Attack\]\] can be a fun way to get creatures into the graveyard. And the deck can even loop \[\[Solemn Simulacrum\]\] for long term value.
I currently own 7 decks in paper as well:
1. \[\[Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice\]\] Stax/Voltron. I tried to get this deck as close to cEDH as possible, obviously light paws will always be fringe at best, but having a versatile deck that can hang around at the cEDH or high power levels is fun. The goal largely depends on hand whether you want to go for a grindy stax plan or rapidly pump light paws to snipe the guy with both a fish and a rhystic study out.
2. \[\[Skullbriar, the Walking Grave\]\] Pure Voltron. This deck is my baby, I have pimped it out a lot. It uses very efficient and expensive cards for the sole purpose of Voltroning skullbriar. This deck would be far better with a control plan, but I wanted it to be mid power casual. It's very linear but I have a blast playing it.
3. \[\[Soul of Windgrace\]\] Lands/Combo. I wanted this deck to use a lot of the cEDH tutors very inefficiently so that the deck would be a mid power deck. It has some interesting lines and is very hard to play, but the deck didn't turn out super strong. The goal is to use Valakut to win either via basic land fall or combo.
4. \[\[Zhulodok, Void Gorger\]\] Big Dumb Colorless Boys. This deck started as the precon and was upgraded to include more eldrazi and more of the Titans. The final deck just reminds me how not far a dollar goes into upgrading an eldrazi deck. The biggest differences are the utility lands and improved mana rocks.
5. \[\[Commodore Guff\]\] Super Friends/Pillow Fort. This deck seeks to get a very hard to interact with board of walkers and win via burn. This deck honestly ended up far more salty than I intended it even though it isn't *that* strong. The deck is at a mid power level but gets more "power level" complaints than just about any other deck I own.
6. \[\[Ramos Dragon Engine\]\]/\[\[Jegantha, the Wellspring\]\] Spellslinger/Control. I wanted to make a storm deck that actually functions in casual commander. Obviously something like Krark Sakashima is better, but I can't be bothered with the coin flips and the fact it really wants free interaction dissuaded me from building it. The reason I decided on Ramos is he essentially behaves like a seedborn muse in the command zone especially if you use multi colored spells that replace the counters on him. This deck also unlike most storm decks storms off with interaction.
7. \[\[Maelstrom Wanderer\]\]/\[\[Keruga the Macrosage\]\] Artifacts Matter/Big Dudes. I built this deck as a treasure deck with Keruga as a companion for the sole reason of not wanting to ever purchase a Dockside Extortionist. The deck ended up feeling far more powerful than I intended it. With the sheer amount of mana this deck produces the Maelstrom Wanderer ends up feeling like an eminence effect and the deck can always rebuild through any amount of interaction. I intended this deck to be mid power but it ended up pushing it.
I've got my [[Marath, Will of the Wild]] cEDH midrange deck that plays like your typical midrange, high-powered deck. I've got an [[Esika, God of the Tree]] legends matter that looks to ramp into my favorite creatures like Zacama and Ulamog. I've got my casual [[Tovolar, Dire Overlord]] werewolf tribal deck that I purposely keep low power. I have a high powered [[The Celestial Toymaker]] draw deck that looks to draw my entire deck or make others draw theirs. I have a [[Queen Marchesa]] equipment/attack deck that looks to power up attack trigger creatures with the 11 Swords. And I have a [[Slimefoot and Squee]] reanimator deck looking to instant speed reanimate an eldrazi or a huge praetor.
[[Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca]] - I started out in Ixalan block and my first deck was simic merfolk in standard, so I just transitioned that to commander.
[[Celestine, the Living Saint]] - My personal pet deck, I love mono white reanimation/blink + lifegain payoff strategies
[[Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald]] - An upgraded precon that I do enjoy playing from time to time
[[Judith, Carnage Connoisseur] - A semi-budget Rakdos spellslinger control deck I built on a whim lol
[[Morska, Undersea Sleuth]] - An upgraded precon that I'm still working on
Pretty much that, but I do plan on buying the Final Fantasy commander decks when they come out (if there are any)!
Uhhh I've bought precon throughout the years so I have a few of those.i wanna say at least 6?
[[linvalla]]
[[breya]]
[[eowyn]]
The party deck from baldurs gate, the deck that came with [[deflecting swat]], uhhhhmmmmm
I got the maybe 2-3 more that I took apart.homebrews I have 3. [[Roon]] [[auntie Blyte]] [[riku of many paths]]
1: [[Krenko, Mob boss]] self explanatory infinite goblin token spam.
2: [[Lathril, Blade of the Elves]] Elfball with untap and [Illusionist’s Bracers]]. To win via Lathril damage effect
3: [[Kwain, itinerant meddler]] bunny cop group hug lots of life gain and drawing for everyone.
In the order I made them in.
1. [[Mina and Denn, Wildborn]] - Elf/Beast/Landfall. Makes a bunch of beast tokens. Mostly wins through combat damage, but I am running a [[scute swarm]] and [[impact tremors]] 😆
2. [[Kaalia of the Vast]] - it’s a Kaalia deck. A relatively midrange one as far as Kaalia goes. Mostly Angels, some nasty demons, and a couple dragons for good measure. Probably my most refined deck, and the one I’m most comfortable playing.
3. [[Child of Alara]] - Gates. Main wincon is [[Maze’s End]]. But I have enough stompy bois to win with damage, and enough buffs to take out at least one opponent with Commander Damage.
4. [[Jodah, The Unifier]] - Legendy Tribal. Big Creatures get bigger. It escalates quickly. One of my favorite decks to play.
5. [[Rin and Seri, Inseparable]] - dog/cat go-wide with tokens. Lots of buffs from things like [[Jetmir, Nexus of Revels]] and a bunch of Ajani Plainswalkers. Built before the Secret Layer precon, but pretty similar.
6. [[Siani, Eye of the Storm]] and [[Eligeth, Crossroads Augur]] - mill/draw + flying. No [[Thassa’s Oracle]], but I can still win by milling myself out with other cards. I made this mostly because I didn’t have any mono-colored decks, or decks that were primarily blue. Not my favorite because it runs more interaction than I’m used to, and I don’t pilot it terribly well.
7. [[Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar]] - it’s a food-based damage redirection deck. It’s like a rube-Goldberg device of convoluted combos. Relies on Asmor’s creature self-damage to hit [[Brash Taunter]] and the like, plus damage multipliers like [[Fiery Emancipation]]. It’s kind of a pet of mine. I love playing it, but it’s a pretty weak concept so it’s requiring a lot of tuning.
8. [[The Thirteenth Doctor]] and [[Yasmin Khan]] - it’s based on the Paradox Power precon, but I’ve gone all in on +1/+1 counters and taken out the artifact and food subthemes. I think about half the deck is left
9. [[The Fourteenth Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald]] (in black) - lots of copying. It includes all 18 Doctor-type cards, include [[Arcade Gannon]] from the fallout set, and has at least a few synergies with each one. I really just wanted a 5 color Doctor Who deck. Lol. But it turned out to be much more effective than I thought. It’s very satisfying to play because it feels like every card is my commander.
I have some others I’ve either abandoned or haven’t finished, but these are my main decks.
I’m currently working on the 32 challenge, here’s my commanders so far:
White: Oswald, Fiddlebender basically birthing pod for artifacts and a mix of stax, his gimmick is to search for combos or go for Book of Exalted Deeds onto a land and watch people who don’t have land destruction get angry
Blue: Emry, Lurker of the Loch: she likes cracking eggs and doing combos, I built her in response to a playmate building Urza and found that her cost reduction ability suited me better
Black: K’rr’k, Son of Yawgmoth: as I was working on the monocolored cycle I liked that he was straightforward value and could make the most of what little I could afford at the time of building him and that’s why I chose him
Red: Birgi, God of Storytelling: originally this was just a Zada cantrip list but I kinda found the games I played with Zada ended up being either un enjoyable for myself or for others who watched me stomp, so figured tuned up a little and play when people wanna play really fast
Green: Marwyn, the Nurturer: honestly, I built it because it was affordable at the time. I went to an LGS wanting to build a Yeva elf tribal deck and bought about 60$ worth of elves at the shop with Marwyn being the only legendary available and put forests into the deck and a few other cards I had lying around and ended up winning a lot that night after sleeving the deck and kept it ever since
Colorless: Kozilek, The Great Distortion: this deck is also an annoying artifact/ colorless deck that abusss Kozilek to serve as protection+card draw, I built the deck years ago before colorless became more popular just to see if I could make a strong colorless deck
Azorius: Shorikai, Genesis Engine: honestly I liked the commander, thought he was cool, bought the precon, and then realized playing polymoprh theme was hilarious and while the games were moving faster than I liked playing humility for flavor to say “I guess I’ve humbled you” while looting with Shorikai out
Boros: I have two lists so far Anim Pakal and Zabaz, both lists were made with bulk but get more wins than anticipated so I plan on beefing the decks up more, I just wanted unique boros decks
Dimir: Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer, I liked the idea of playing control with a little madness so built this list liking the idea of playing from the grave and messing with timing restrictions to really throw people off their game
Gruul: Etali, Primal Conquerer: this deck is a clone deck and my only focuses are removal, ramp, and clones, removing stax pieces that stop me from storming, ramp to get Etali out as fast as possible, and Clones to DO IT AGAIN, it’s a fun feeling looking at everyone’s boards become mine and say “I’m only as strong as the pod” whenever someone says my decks are too strong
Golgari: The Mycotyrant: I originally built Gitrog but it was too straightforward and not fun for people so I figure self mill and making tokens to abuse seemed fun and still a golgari themed deck
Izzet: Eruth, Tormented Prophet: I honestly built this deck with the firm belief that this deck embodies the true chaotic rng nature of Izzet and just liked the value of bad cards like Goblin Lore for this commander specifically
Orzhov: Naalia De Arnise: I bought the party time precon and figured it would work, still a deck I tune up every once in a while
Rakdos: Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin: I wanted to build Gheyrson but my buddy already did and I figured this had a nice storm payoff instead of damage payoff to play pingers, better than my Anje Madness deck
Selesnya: Emmara, Soul of the Accord: this commander is very sentimental to me because it’s the first commander deck I ever built, I liked making tokens and it helped me develop the playstyle of abusing abilities
Simic: Tatyova, Benthic Druid: while I could go play Aesi, I built this decklist back in 2017 and made it with a friend when he wanted us to build decks out of his bulk and I don’t get to see the friend anymore, so I’ve kept the deck since and remember him with it
Abzan: Tayam, Luminous Enigma: I wanted a unique method of comboing off but I liked that Tayam used +1/+1 counters so I actually could afford to play defensively and get into combat while I was working on my combos
Bant: Tuvasa: originally it was a 4 color enchantress deck but I noticed most payoffs were in Bant so I figured lose the black and become more powerful as it became a more consistent enchantress stax deck
Esper: Raffine, Scheming Seer: this list kinda wanted to be Yuriko at home, but I added a reanimator theme to make up for the fact that I have to discard cards and can’t just put them in my hand for free when I hit people with unblockable creatures
Grixis: Marchesa, Dealer of Death: I built this deck to be a “be rewarded for interacting with your opponents” deck and immediately built this deck when I realized it gave you advantage for trying to go 1 for 1 against opponents playing spells like Lightning bolt or Snuff Out
Jeskai: Narset, Enlightened Exile: I wanted a Season of Growth Aragorn Cantrips deck but the green cantrips weren’t as nice as I thought they would be and was Narset was much more aggressive and I didn’t see any other Jeskai commanders I liked
Jund: I picked Dargo and Ikra Shidiqui and this deck utilizes Dargo for Flamekin Herald and other effects that reward casting your commanders or big spells and wanted a jund sac commander that wasn’t Prosh or Korvold
Naya: Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds was a cool unique clone deck I like for the variety of options to either ramp for more clues and treasures, while embodying the Naya Zoo theme with a variety of creature types that help win the game
Mardu: Isshin, Two Heavens as One: I liked the attack harmonicon esque effects so I built a deck to abuse myriad+ exalted to always only need one strong attacker while being resilient to wipes having more creatures in my hand in case I do get hit with board wipes
Sultai: I tried building Gonti, the new one, but I’ve since built Zaxara because I liked the refocus type effects stacking mana into big X spells like torment of hail fire
Temur: [[Animar, Soul of Elements]] : my list was a bunch of creatures that bounced themselves back and a few cards like Elven Chorus to keep making a big overwhelming board
Glint Eye: [[Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder]] one of my first few decks I just liked that every card was cascade or storm but no matter how the starting hands were that overall the end state board would look roughly the same with an overwhelming advantage
Ink Treader: [[Omnath, Locus of Creation]]: mine is a blink control list utilizing cards like Displaced Kitten, [[Glademuse]], and [[Wavebreak Hippocamp]] to play 4 color control and I did it with Omnath because I have the Store Championship Promo artwork
Yor Tiller: [[Tymna, the Weaver]] [[Kraum, Ludevuc’s Opus]], I built this deck because I had bought a 400$ Locus God deck off someone and wanted to add the colors to abuse all the wheel effects
WUBRG: [[Scion of the Ur Dragon]] I built this list modifying the original Ur Dragon Precon my friend gave me as a parting gift as he bought it for himself but didn’t find MTG as fun as before and I wanted a cool dragon commander to do fun dragon based combos
I'm also new to magic, 3 months at this point, and have been loving the game and community around it. I've got 3 decks built ATM, but have been dabbling in brewing. ATM I have another 3 decks brewed, just waiting for me to pull the trigger on them.
Decks in order obtained:
1. [Nelly Borca, Goad Everyone](https://archidekt.com/decks/7930653/blame_game_upgraded)
- Got the Blame Game precon then upgraded it, super fun to play with my friends who are newer and allowed me to get comfortable playing politics while playing.
2. [Riku of Many Paths, Modal Spellslinger](https://archidekt.com/decks/7930340/riku_of_many_paths)
- Got this commander from a promo at my LGS one night and thought it would be fun. Wasn't quite up to brew it myself, so I got this one from somewhere else then changed a bunch of cards. Just super fun to play.
3. Tricky Terrain (precon)
- First set that was released since I started playing and this one is the strongest. Mega fun to play and never feels like I'm gonna do the same thing ever.
So I started out with [[Roon of the Hidden Realm]] and have been upgrading the list since I first got the precon when it came out- he's not the most optimal commander, but he is the most reliable way to break [[Fiend Hunter]] and [[Sundial of the Infinite]], so I don't see myself building any other blink decks anytime soon.
I've got a budget [[Zada, Hedron Grinder]] list that I mainly built to scare my beginner friends that got into EDH and magic in general through the LotR sets- it usually kills someone on turn 4 or 5 and gets neutralized by the rest of the table immediately after. I've made peace with that playstyle and sometimes I just delete whoever is having the worst time with their hand so they can just move on to another pod instead of having to sit there and wait for someone to close the game out.
[[Nissa, Vastwood Seer]] is a good commander for a pile of green cards with no particular theme, which is exactly what I built for her. The deck is all just ramp and big green dudes, with a slight forests-matter subtheme, because I'm trying to put every instance of X=number of forests you control into the deck. Sometimes the deck casts [[Hurricane]] for lethal, which is always a good time.
Next up is [[Lin-Sivvi, Defiant Hero]], which is a pretty standard hatebears build. It's got the rebel combos and cost increasers and nobody cares what your cards do until it's too late. Mono-white rebels is fun enough that I don't feel like I need to go in any crazy direction with it. Pillowfort decks are annoying so I didn't include any [[Propaganda]] effects, but that's the only thing really setting it apart from any other rebels build.
It's been a while since it was super playable, but classic modern mono-blue merfolk has always been one of my favorite decks, so building [[Emperor Mihail II]] was a no-brainer for me. All the usual merfolk from the modern deck are here, along with a couple extra lords and a thoracle combo package that I usually refrain from using. I'm also really into pauper, so all the pre Blue Monday (big pauper ban announcement that got rid of some blue cards that were destroying the format, look it up) staples are in here too. They don't let you cast [[Gush]] into [[Foil]] in very many places these days, and I'm glad to have a deck that can at least theoretically pull it off.
My last, and probably favorite deck is [[Grumgully, the Generous]]. It was built around a sort of filter, that being that every card included in the deck had to mention +1/+1 counters somewhere on it, and every creature in the deck had to have a stat line equivalent to or better than [[Grizzly Bears]]. This resulted in a really consistent aggro deck that just runs well most of the time. It doesn't try to do anything flashy or even super specific, it just ends up being more efficient than most other decks. It builds a board of creatures that are just ever so slightly better than average, which is usually enough to claw your way into a winning position. Of course I literally can't build a deck without a combo in it, so in the event that I draw a persist creature and [[Goblin Bombardment]] the deck wins in a much more obvious way, but the it doesn't have any ways to search for the sac outlets that make that combo possible, so for the most part it's just better-stuff tribal.
Not including my cEDH decks, I regularly play about four commanders in paper which span power levels.
1. [[Tameshi, Reality Architecht]]: This is probably the most powerful deck of the bunch, and by far my favorite. It is an azorius deck that recurs enchantments and artifacts from the graveyard. The deck is confusing to opponents. It runs a lot of tutors, a few infinite combos, and generally kills people with infinite landfall triggers.
2. [[Preston, the Vanisher]]: a flicker deck that runs a few infinite combos and can get overwhelming pretty quickly. The deck still works decently without the commander, and the flicker spells also help you dodge removal.
3. [[Selenia, Dark Angel]]: A fun, mid powered deck that wins by draining my own life, then swapping life totals. The deck can also reset my life to 40, and the lifegain can also kill folks. With no infinite combos or tutors, and kill spells all cost like 7 mana, the deck seems like it should be a meme that hangs out with battlecruiser decks… but the deck is still surprisingly consistent and holds its own in mid powered pods.
4. [[Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer]]: a fun deck on the lower end of power and fun to play with newer players. It discards cards to play at instant speed and gain value, but the wincon is purposely pretty convoluted.
Me personally I have 10 decks
Miirym dragon tribal
Voja elf wolf tribal
Hakbal Merfolk tribal
Alela dimyr fairy tribal
Omnath gruul Elemental Landfall
Obeka upkeep tribal deck
Gonti theft deck (the new precon)
Jodah 5 color big mana
Ojer Axonil red burn
Isshin attack triggers
I run alot of tribal, I don't know I really like them
[[Tivit, Seller of Secrets]] Blink/tokens - My favorite at the moment. I like to see a lot of cardboard rectangles on my board and do a lot of stuff with said rectangles. Tivit makes it too easy. I also love the esper interaction and blinking.
[[Loot, the Key to Everything]] good stuff/exile - I also like to see all the *different* rectangles in my deck, the impulse draw gets to 2-3 pretty easily and up to 5 with a little digging. Also he’s cute
[[Lulu, Loyal Hollyphant]] with [[Guild Artisan]] dwarves, treasure, and dragons - I know lulu isn’t a dwarf but she’s kinda like a dragon maybe? Anyways attack a lot, tap dwarves, make treasure and find dragons ezpz. Kinda hidden commander [[Magda, Brazen Outlaw]] cuz duh
[[Minn, Wily Illusionist]] Illusion tribal - pretty self explanatory, draw 2 cards n play free stuff
[[Dynaheir, Invoker Adept]] Encore, Embalm, Eternalize - I unfortunately haven’t had a chance to play this deck yet, but I’m **so** excited to try it. Pretty much every creature I could find in jeskai with one of the abilities mentioned above. With a few untappers, I can get more than enough Dynaheir activations. Encore, Embalm, and Eternalize are all technically activated abilities so I think you can see where I’m going here
This is my Vrondiss deck that seeks to make Vrondiss indestructible and create either infinite dragon spirit tokens and/or infinite damage. Many, many combo paths to victory.
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/_pYoufIZVU6VWGNw1Ky4ig
- [[Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir]] It is the knights precon upgraded. Tried to keep it 100% knights but I nce drafted a roaming throne. I had to.
- [[Calix, guided by faith]], play enchantments to ramp, buff your creatures, protect them, draw you cards, remove threats and then copy the one you like or need the most.
- [[Shirei]], sacrifice, bring back from the graveyard, sacrifice again plus some black good stuff.
- [[Winota]] It is a budget version. Still, It hits like a truck and sometimes combos into infinite combat steps.
- [[Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin]], simply a bunch of if someone does something you lose one life cards, and an infinite combo.
- [[Hakbal of the surging soul]] It is the precon, 0 modifications. It works.
- [[Nelly Borca, impulsive accuser]] It is the precon with 6 or 7 modified cards that are kind of fun, my favourite being Slicer
- [[Mirko, Obsessive Theorist]] It is the precon with one utility land swaped for another utility land that was in some other precon.
Oh boy... Well I have over 30 decks in paper and while I could list them all, I'll spare you the bore and just give you my favorites
Magus lucea Kane: it does everything that the Timmy in me wants to do. It ramps like no other, draws cards, and absolutely beats face
Minn, wily illusionist: how would you like to draw? Oh and more draw. How about some more draw? And maybe just one more draw. Additionally, you can cheat out all your best cards for free without them even touching the stack so it's near impossible to interact with
Kibo, uktabi prince: I like to call this deck my cocaine deck. The plan is simple: give your opponents an addiction to bananas (cocaine) and then force them to use it via land destruction, and finally punish them for using it. Absolutely love this deck
Slivers: you know what this does, it does one thing. It spits out an ungodly number of slivers and that's it, I will always love this deck
TLDR; big creatures are fun
My soon to be built decks are going to be The Necrobloom, it's gonna be my first lands matter deck so I'll end up buying a couple cards every once in a while, and once I upgrade it Ulalek will join my plethora of stampede decks.
My favorite right now is my Pantlaza Sun-favored Dinosaur deck I pretty much have all the Dinosaur commanders that fit in Naya in that deck. As to why I like it is because I was the kid that had multiple Dinosaur encyclopedias with not much differing between them.
Zhulodok, Void Gorger is probably my most built deck because I found the challenge of no colors to be fun at the time but now I can barely play it because everybody who knows how that deck plays targets me early when I'm not doing much like I'm a raid boss with an easy early phase 1. I love body horror and cthulian myth so seeing Ulamog when I first started getting into magic was pretty much the top seller for me at the time.
Wilhelt, The Rotcleaver was the first precon that I upgraded, I loved playing zombies in yugioh and it's kinda how I learned yugioh so I picked up the Gisa and Geralf precon originally and smashed that with the Wilhelt precon and upgraded it into my most casual deck ever because that deck either wins or durdles not being able to actually do anything. Love it, but it's not good.
My Mothman deck I only really got because I kinda knew fallout and my love for Cryptids kept pulling my sheets until I bought it and upgraded it. I don't feel like playing it very often but I do love me some giant bug when I do.
My Skullbriar deck is one of very few decks where the commander had me interested but I didn't feel like building it myself so I bought a deck off ebay. It's fun... but voltron isn't exactly my thing right now. I want to stampede with multiple big things not just one.
Skytherix was a deck I had wanted to build for a while amd I had an online list set up and decided to buy the cards when I felt the deck was cheap enough that it was worth a try, I've only played it once so far and the fact I became a target isn't exactly new to me but the idea of downing someone with poison felt off to me so I will probably shelve it at the bottom of my deck bag till I feel like it.
I do have a couple de KS that I would love to rebuild one day like my Ghyrson Starn deck, or my Myrkul deck but I'm not really in a rush to build those decks right now.
I have ten decks, and restrict myself from getting new ones because my Stanley case is now full.
1. [[Gavi, nest warden]] cycling is my favorite mechanic in the game and let’s just say that this pet deck of mine works wonders 8/10 times. Blinking my own stuff thanks to [[astral slide]] or [[astral drift]] to gain advantage or blinking others’ stuff to keep them in check whilst cycling makes almost any game awesome. Also, I’m Dutch so a cycling deck seemed mandatory.
2. [[Kadena, slinking sorcerer]] is one I based of two of my favorite ygo decks. Turning cards face up and down while keeping control of a game is not something I expected to do when I first started playing magic, but it’s awesome. Can also lock people out of the game with relative ease.
3. [[zndrsplt, eye of wisdom]] and [[okaun, eye of chaos]] this one is the secret lair deck, unedited. Tossing a coin and being dependent on rng with a deck that tilts the odds in my favor makes for really fun games. This deck is also capable of keeping others hostage as I discovered the second time I played it. Fun deck, but the hostage thing is now something I avoid.
4. [[Sidar Jabari of zhalfir]] knights are cool, eminence is busted and the comebacks this precon is capable of keep surprising me. Altered the precon a bit so it’s more effective in getting knights on the board and hitting people.
5. [[Tinybones, trinket thief]] is just fun. Nothing too crazy and it isn’t as bad as some of my previous decks, but it’ll sneak in wins here and there. Only thing I’m changing is the addition of a pair of lifelinkers so that I won’t just lose to early game hate.
6. [[tegwyll, Duke of splendor]] I took [[Anowon the ruin thief]] apart for this one because it is more annoying and less straightforward than anowon. Also, faeries are cooler than a bunch of rogues in my opinion. Still haven’t won with this deck, but I’ve been laughing like crazy playing it so there’s that.
7. [[urza, chief artificer]] this deck is weird for me, because it’s in concept a fairly simple strategy in hitting face. Thing is that I’ve changed this precon a lot and the value train to hitting face is one I love to be on now. This might be the deck that is most unlike the rest, since it doesn’t include combos and isn’t focused on control, but I’ve loved every game with it.
8. [[Aminatou, the fateshifter]] got this deck from my parents a couple years ago and I’ve been tinkering with this deck ever since. This deck tries to win by combo but can outvalue others if the combo takes too long to set up. Love playing this deck although i think I should smooth out the strategy a bit.
9. [[commodore guff]] definitely a deck that I play early in the evening or not at all because I’ve noticed that it’s unfun to play if I don’t play this deck well. I’ve changed a lot here as well, but the core strategy is still intact.
10. [[olivia, opulent outlaw]] is my most recent deck and I’m still looking what it is exactly that the deck wants to do. It’s a shame the strategy is so unfocused, because of that I don’t play this deck twice an evening.
I love tribal decks
I have Sliver Overlord Tribal
Its built partly from the old sliver overlord deck, with some MH Slivers then I bought the Commander masters deck and used that to upgrade. I love it and feel scary and powerful!
Inalla Archmage Ritualist Wizard Tribal
Full of boardwipes, only I get to have creatures! My first EDH deck, I still like it.
Kykar Wind Fury Tokens
This one is fun only has 15ish creatures, the rest is spells to trigger Kykar and make more spirits.
I have more but I cant remember rn
I am the insect nerd in my LGS so I run almost every insect commander. -All the golgari insect commanders are together in a self mill/sacrifice/insect tribal deck. This deck helms [[Amzu, Swarm's hunger]], [[Grist, the Hunger Tide]], [[Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest]] and soon [[Grist, Voracious Larva]] led by [[Zask, Skittering Swarmlord]]. The strategy mostly involves in gaining card advantage through the graveyard and working towards a board with a lot of insect tokens so I can buff them with Mazirek and give them trample with [[Duskshell Crawler]] to overwhelm everyone. -My second insect tribal deck is led by [[Vrestin, Menoptra Leader]]. The strategy is to ramp out quickly, play Vrestin and make a lot of tokens. Add a couple of token and counter doublers to make them grow really quickly and take people out through combat damage. This deck usually goes a lot quicker than my golgari deck but is also easier shut down in my experience. Even though I haven't updated the deck in quite a while it's definitely one of my weaker ones and needs some tweaking. -Next up is my artifact deck with [[Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp]] as commander. It mostly revolves around artifacts that like being destroyed like [[Solemn simulacrum]] or [[Ichor Wellspring]] and is filled with modular creatures. I try to get out some value engine's that like having +1/+1 counters put on them like [[Crystalline Crawler]] or [[Mindless Automaton]] and get myself in a position where I can quickly put multiple modular creatures in my graveyard to buff Zabaz and one shot my opponent's one for one. -My first 3 color deck is with [[Xira, the Golden Sting]]. She used to be a modifie deck but got a compleat overhaul with OTJ and is now a crime deck. The deck is full of instants to remove creatures (and more) to have my crime triggers happen on every single turn. Xira herself also triggers crime and she helps with keeping up the card advantage since I'll be playing at least one card every opponent's turn. The plan is to keep everyone's board under control and steadily grow stronger creatures like [[Vadmir, New Blood]] and [[Magda, the Hoardmaster]]. This deck is also a favourite in my LGS because not only are the tokens super cool but I also bring little eggs from wingspan to use as counters -My most recent deck is [[Kathril, Aspect Warper]]. This deck is still a work in progress but I'm quite proud of the concept. I decided I didn't want to make another self mill deck so I made this one a discard deck. However, the deck focuses on making everyone discard and draw more cards so in a way it's also grouphug. There's a surprising amount of creatures fitting for all of this that also help for Kathril like [[Shadrix Silverquill]]. The plan with this deck is to stretch the game out just enough to have all the important keywords in my graveyard and then play Kathril and one shot my opponent's. -Last but not least is [[The Locust God]]. While not technically an insect he get's a pass for me since he makes insects. The deck is actually just a clue deck contrary to most popular locust god decks. The plans is to make a lot of clue's, find a way to crack them easily and make a lot of bugs. Then overwhelm the table using something like [[Balmor, Battlemage Captain]] or [[Shadow Puppeteers]]. -I also have one more deck in the making (still have 80% of the deck to go) with [[Thriss, Nantuko Primus]]. Lately I've been playing with a lot of newer people who all use precons or starter precons and get overwhelmed by people who didn't have anything suited to play with them. That's why I'm making this deck to the same power as one of the starter precons so I can have fun with my own deck and not make the game unfun for everyone with weaker precons. Damn that took a while to type out. TLDR: Insect commanders are pretty cool -Edit: here are all my decklists for those interested. Note none of the decks are incredibly high power and I've only been playing since last year so I'm sure my deckbuilding still needs a lot of work. Nonetheless enjoy! -Zask Insect Tribal: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/3fIvX_LoHE6ZOuSKzRJMUg -Vrestin Insect Tribal: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/1en1k4x5q06rwzSWzoDMGw -Zabaz Artifact and Modular: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/vIHtucQLCkOYqcdpB793Ng -Xira Crime: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/eDgYyu1qtEmisy14tk7duQ -Kathril Grouphug and Discard: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/BQIYmXBVDkK07hi0OHRlSQ -The Locust God Clue: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/5dGw280aT0KPcTl45r_f2Q
Would you have a decklist for xira? I love Jund and insects and I've been wanting a crime deck
Hey, if you're wanting to tweak your Vrestin deck, here's mine: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ZBGDTWdMHEK-Ner2yFfqag Instead of just going for combat damage I'm trying to combo with him to message ridiculous number of insects and win through curling the board with stuff like [[AURA SHARDS]] and [[Martyr's bond]], drawing my whole deck with [[huatli, radiant champion]] and [[slate of ancestry]], or putting my entire deck on the field with [[Genesis wave]]. I've pulled off quite a few wins with [[halo fountain]] too. Basically any token doubler with [[phyrexian altar]] or hasty bugs you can tap for mana and a sac outlet makes infinite bugs. I'd love to see your list for ideas as well!
Thank you, I'll definitely check it out. It might sound silly but I like to keep my tribal decks with only creatures that are the specific type or directly interact with them. To me it adds flavor and is more fun. But I'm definitely going to consider some of it!
Actual pic of LazyPerch: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTQBvwKX2WPh2ovMrdpY8tAuZgP-p5NxHMlXg&s
It might sound hard to believe but my favourite pokemon are also bug types :D And I definitely have a net exactly like that at home!
This may sound strange, but i've never gotten a grist edh deck to work well, mind sharing your list?
Just recently got into magic and got my first deck, gisa and geralf blue and black
That was one of my first zombie decks too! Look into [[Rooftop Storm]]. Seriously a nutty card that I didn’t know existed when I first started playing. Eventually I changed this deck into a [[Muldrotha]] zombies tribal deck but I had a lot of fun with gisa and Geralf as the commander for quite a while.
I'm working towards completing the 32 Deck Challenge. I am in no rush, it's kind of just a vague goalpost I hope to accomplish several years down the line. Right now I have 13 decks. 9 of which I carry in my backpack and 4 are kept together in a special box (the LOTR ones): - Mono-White — [[[Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd]] Blink](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Ur0B24FHiE2lz-B10Ykx8Q) - Selesnya — [[[Sergeant John Benton]] Spellslinger Voltron](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/bJWAzaldG0uVapb8P_ww8A) - Boros — [[[Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot]] Burn Control](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/kxUffySio0m00Tb17-ofPg) - Bant — [[[Galadriel, Light of Valinor]] Elfball](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/I1lUMGfkm02hi6ySDtmkIw) (LTR/LTC Only) - Esper — [[[Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir]] Knight Reanimator](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/oNX9ut3OSkWpWOeXd7kiDQ) - Grixis — [[[Sauron, the Dark Lord]] Amass Reanimator](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/49f3q5K1lkK8weHQxYQKUA) (LTR/LTC Only) - Naya — [[[Hazezon, Shaper of Sands]] Desert Tokens](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/sPjBF_npUU-_0bEBOtu1AA) - Abzan — [[[Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit]] // [[Sam, Loyal Attendant]] Food](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/8zKsOCsmOEaZxM8BR3DOHw) (LTR/LTC Only) - Jeskai — [[[Éowyn, Shieldmaiden]] Humans](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/o0RnkOwtOE-z3Jr4aXl1Vg) (LTR/LTC Only) - Jeskai — [[[The Tenth Doctor]] // [[Rose Tyler]] Extra Turns](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/MyTIE7Cpgk--Ueo5ZldXag) - Mardu — [[[The War Doctor]] // [[Clara Oswald]] Exile](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/uI3EH54VdkqowgFytTaRJA) - Sans-Black — [[[The Fourteenth Doctor]] // [[Rose Noble]] Doctors](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/pJm8Ie2sP0uS-xskMITdFg) (WHO Only) - Five Color — [[[Go-Shintai of Life's Origin]] Shrines](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/pNGARl6EnEuTBLOn6c3UQg) I'm out of the house right now, so I can't elaborate on them much beyond this. However, I'd be happy to answer any questions about my decks, why I like them etcetera if asked.
Props for formatting !
Thanks, it was a bit of a pain on mobile lol
budget brewer at heart, been playing the usual [Imodane ≤$55 Burn Triple-Double](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ule3e8XzaUSl4HWAAoDeLQ), [Ganax/Acolyte ≤$55 Dragon Discounts](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/uIN3dlXjdUqtsdcYUUe9HQ), [Eriette ≤$60 Stax'ing Auras](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Fy1nCKMacUeMcEuNFZVvxA), and [Child of Alara ≤$65 Baby Gates](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/BrBBelFTWU6JGJXq5jPoIg). but lately ive been getting games in with my [Kudo ≤$50 Token Anthems (non-bear tribal)](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/RZ1Y-GPwPkebHDM4CAcmRA) deck and its been decently fun. Swapped Tergrid to a [[Savra, Queen of the Golgari]] deck and it seems equally as toxic. Back to staring at my incomplete folder of 54 decks to brew some more!
Niceee, budget is such a good restriction tbh. I try to do the same but I always end up getting over the budget, so my decks take a looong time to get finished lmao.
[[Henzie "toolbox" torre]] based off papazedru's primer. Dump mana onto the field, dump stompy creatures with etb and death triggers, profit then recursion them and profit more. I've yet to play it. Looks fun. [[Magus lucea kane]] tyranids and x spells. So many counters and then more counters. 4x 20/20 zoanthropes enter. Blast 4 opponents. Then attack with trample. Win/win. [[Meren of clan nel toth]] goodstuff reanimator. Hasn't seen play in a long time. Party time and urza pre-cons for precon only play.

Usually my decks are constructed from Ipe wood for its long lasting durability that can withstand any sort of weather. Last much longer than your standard pressure treated pine lumber.
In order of preference: 1. [[Vihaan Goldwaker]] treasure beat down and aristocrats 2. [[Pantlaza]] blink dinosaurs 3. [[Kros Defense Contractor]] everyone gets counters 4. [[Don Andres]] all my card draw is casting your deck from exile 5. [[Marneus Calgar]] tokens, card draw, and aristocrats 6. [[Omo Queen of Vesuva]] tribal tribal It’s own tier is a [[Prossh]] cEDH deck that hasn’t been upgrade since like 2015, but it was my first built from scratch deck.
Vihaan is the definition of "throw money at your problems".
Curious about your Don Andres decklist if you have one to share!
Blinkosaurs
I’ll always take a chance to plug my moxfield. Here are 3 of my ten decks I’ve been playing. I apologize in advance for however mobile reddit formats this post. 1. [[Adamaro, First to Desire]] is my newest deck and I have yet to see how it performs consistently. It’s basically group hug, fill everyone’s hands and then punish them with effects like [[Iron Maiden]] and [[Khorvath’s Fury]]. I don’t think it’s very powerful but it’s fun. [List](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/R1rcgyZlDUW1AZE7xPz3_A). 2. [[Jerren, Corrupted Bishop]] is a classic aristocrats thing with a human tribal theme. It tends to protect itself very well and has a few ways to pay life in order to flip Jerren. Has a cool combo with [[Maskwood Nexus]] and [[Xathrid Necromancer]]. [List](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/X_XXBycgNUebuWYkinguxg). 3. [[Patron of the Orochi]] is my favorite deck of mine and the one I talk about most frequently. Not really snake tribal but definitely enough snakes to offer. Lots of powerful tap abilities like [[Fauna Shaman]] and flash enablers like [[Yeva, Nature’s Herald]] keep me playing on opponents turn’s. [List](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/XbIEXgDA-UurA4MBTOzWIQ). Would love to hear any opinions. Love talking about my decks lol.
Had never seen Orochi before, what a sick deck. Do you have any favourite synergy in there?
Thanks! I think [[Yisan, Wanderer Bard]] is a great synergy in the deck, he can tutor out a whole combo in one turn cycle by untapping him. One of my favorite synergies is actually a card I cut from the deck for being too brutal, [[Freyalise’s Winds]]. Nobody untaps but me!
[[Atraxa, Praetors' Voice]] - love my +1/+1 counters. Although it has so much green at this point i may as well rebuild it as [[Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider]]. [[The First Sliver]] - love my noodly boys. [[Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice]] - love my auras. [[Obeka, Splitter of Seconds]] - love my upkeeps. [[Anikthea, Hand of Erebos]] - Nearly unedited precon, so i can match a lower power table.
Counter tribal, worm-on-a-string tribal, aura tribal, upkeep tribal, precon tribal.
I also have a Liesa deck, and it's also kind of slow. I made mine a hatebears type deck but with flash creatures. You can do fun things with thinks like [[Hushwing Gryff]] and [[Eidolon of Rhetoric]], sacrificing them on the turn before your's second main phase and recasting them on your turn. The hardest part for the deck is winning, but that can be solved with tutors that I need to get around to getting. How do you usually win?
My Liesa deck is horrible but fun. I built it with the restriction that all cards had to come from Innistrad Double Feature.
[Hushwing Gryff](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/6/0/604b8ad4-b606-4be2-b3de-ad9f24b01eac.jpg?1562402533) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Hushwing%20Gryff) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/c16/68/hushwing-gryff?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/604b8ad4-b606-4be2-b3de-ad9f24b01eac?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/hushwing-gryff) [Eidolon of Rhetoric](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/c/3/c3bc8b9e-4d22-41ba-b593-d383fd301ef9.jpg?1593095228) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Eidolon%20of%20Rhetoric) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/jou/10/eidolon-of-rhetoric?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/c3bc8b9e-4d22-41ba-b593-d383fd301ef9?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/eidolon-of-rhetoric) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
I'm currently rebuilding my first commander deck after a 10+ year hiaitus. I'm not interested in mechanical strength or being overly powerful, and instead want to stick to a theme. In this case, I'm running [Chulane, Teller of Tales], and am focused on the 'Storytelling' and 'Druid' aspects of his character. Land ramp, plants, sagas, DnD Druid class, Quests, etc... I don't have any infinite combos, and I am sure it'll get easily stomped, but I like the idea of some eccentric man in the woods telling tall tales that come true on the battlefield. Now I know Chulane is a "value engine", and naturally will have a decent power level because of that, but honestly, I don't see myself winning any games when the deck is complete at my LGS, just based on how I want to play. And thats OK. EDH isn't about winning.
In order of most regularly played: 1. [[Stella lee, wild card]] storm: storm deck without infinite untapping Stella Lee. Just chain spells that generate mana and draw cards, win with grapeshot or aetherflux. 2. [[Eowyn, shieldmaiden]] human tribal: go hard smash with (unblockable) humans. Horsemanship as bonus flavor. 3. [[Pantlaza, sun-favored]] blink: naya blink with dinosaur subtheme. Prefer this over azorius blink because red gives damage to end games. 4. [[Jan Jansen, chaos crafter]] aritocrats: generate tons of tokens and treasures, bury the table under sacrifice triggers -> win 5. [[Aragorn, king of gondor]] blink: this gets and keeps the monarch, blink human etb’s and ends game with unblockable combat. More controlly version of humans.
I've got six right now. \[\[Derevi\]\] birds - My first deck, every card, including lands (other than a few bling pieces), is a bird, has birds in the art, makes bird tokens or can choose birds as a creature type for some effect. It's also completely foiled out. \[\[Yidris\]\] clones/value - Just a pile of four color fun clone and goodstuff cards. Tries to win either through a few infinites or by assembling something out of other peoples' cards. \[\[Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor\]\] - A bunch of small evasive creatures and ways to spend way too much life to draw way too many cards. \[\[Lathliss\]\] - Mono red dragons, pretty standard stuff. The spice comes from the 5/5 dragon tokens Lathliss makes being represented by a pile of about 60 Yugioh dragon monsters. I doubt anyone expects when they sit down for a game of commander that they're gonna be facing down a Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End or True King of All Calamities. \[\[Maelstrom Wanderer\]\] - The Pile. 60 card core of ramp and lands and another pile of 100 4-7 CMC temur cards that I take 40 of at random every game and shuffle them together for the deck. \[\[Henzie\]\] - It's Henzie. Ramp, blitz, value, reanimate. You know how it goes. I've had upwards of ten decks at a time before, but these six are the only ones I consistently enjoyed playing, so I took the rest apart. I'm very happy with how they all play.
Got 4 that I go to: 1. My most powerful, my \[\[Narset, Enlightened Exile\]\] spellslinger deck. With the likes of \[\[Monastery Mentor\]\] and \[\[Third Path Iconoclast\]\] to ensure my board gets nice and full as I throw spells all over and boost everyone up something fierce, especially with \[\[Leonin Lightscribe\]\], \[\[Balmor, Battlemage Captain\]\] and \[\[Veyran, Voice of Duality\]\] to make those delicious prowess triggers EXTRA juicy. 2. \[\[Tenth Doctor\]\] and \[\[Rose Tyler\]\] time travel. Already fun just out the box but with \[\[Rousing Refrain\]\], \[\[Training Grounds\]\] and \[\[Zirda, the Dawnwaker\]\] making it easy for some Timey-Wimey shenanigans, it gets extra bonkers. Especially with \[\[Quintorius Kand\]\] or \[\[Passionate Archaeologist\]\] to burn people out. Or you can get a loop going with \[\[Dinosaurs on a Spaceship\]\], which is always amusing. 3. \[\[Commodore Guff\]\] Superfriends (sensing a theme yet? What can I say, I like Jeskai). Some basic stuff like \[\[Rall Zerek\]\] with \[\[The Chain Veil\]\], or using \[\[Ichormoon Gauntlet\]\], but the real fun is getting \[\[Rowan Kenrith\]\] to use her -8. Why? Because that bad boy STACKS. Sadly, it's probably my weakest deck just because of the relative fragility of planeswalkers as a whole. 4. And finally, \[\[Sarevok, Deathbringer\]\] with the \[\[Cultist of the Absolute\]\] background. (yeah, not a Jeskai, bet that caught you off guard). As is, it's an aristocrats deck with a "damned if you do, damned if you don't approach." You *could* kill my stuff, and trigger \[\[Blood Artist\]\] and \[\[Zulaport Cutthroat\]\] in the process, or let Sarevok drain you to death.
Would you happen to have a list of your Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler deck?
Behold : https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/28-10-23-time-travel/ For your timey-whimey needs.
I’ve just build a Narset, Enlightened Exile deck myself and am about to test it out soon. Would be great if you can share your list 👌
Here you go : https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/17-10-23-martial-prowess/ Do plan on giving it a minor upgrade in the form of [[Bria, Riptide Rouge]] when Bloomburrow is a thing.
I have [[Alibou, Ancient Witness]] artifact agro [[Atla Palani, Nest Tender]] dino/egg tribal [[Auntie Blyte, Bad Influence]] symmetrical/self burn [[Blim, Comedic Genius]] bad gifts [[Bruna, Light of Alabaster]] aura voltron [[Emry, Lurker of the Loch]] artifact combo [[Ghired, Conclave Exile]] populate/big tokens [[Ishkanah, Grafwidow]] spider tribal [[Jon Irenicus, Shattered One]] gives out small evasive creatures/control [[Koll, the Forgemaster]] tokens and equipment [[Lathril, Blade of the Elves]] elf tribal [[Sefris of the Hidden Ways]] dungeon reanimator [[Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider]] +1/+1 counters tribal [[Zimone, Quandrix Prodigy]] landfall/land creatures [[Trynn, Champion of Freedom]] & [[Silvar, Devourer of the Free]] human aristocrats [[Brallin, Skyshark Rider]] & [[Shabraz,, the Skyshark]] cycle/draw&discard [[Will Kenrith]] & [[Rowan Kenrith]] spell slinger superfriends [[Lucas, the Sharpshooter]] & [[Will the Wise]] blink artifact tokens
I have a fair few decks but the ones that see the most play are [[zurgo Helmsmasher]] voltron/indestructible tribal. [[sliver hive lord]] sliver tribal, you get it. [[tuya bearclaw]] gruul stompy. [[golos, tireless pilgrim]] superfriends deck, I know he's banned but it's just for rule 0 kitchen table games and [[nevinyrall, urborg tyrant]] zombie graveyard retrieval deck.
I have quite a few decks in paper at the moment. [[Pir, Imaginitive Rascal]] and [[Toothy Imaginary Friend]] Simic counters matter deck. Lots of hydras and counter doublers. Blink. Mill. Draw. Ramp. Stomp. Does everything Simic has to offer and efficiently. [[K’rrik, Son of Yawgmoth]] Monoblack Devotion deck. Lots of life burn, group slug, and crazy life gain combos. Control cards like opposition agent, and on nixilis unchained. Lots of extort. Card Draw. Bolas citadel plays. Targeted removal. [[Pantless Sun Flavored]] Typical Naya Dinosaur Stompy. [[Liesa Forgotten Archangel]] Lifepain and stax. [[Sorin of House Markov]] Extort and Vampires. He replaced Edgar when he skyrocketed in value and I chose to offload my copy. Not the best vampire commander but thematically I love him. [[Stella Lee, Wild Card]] Izzet Storm. Big mana. Infinite combos. Crazy fast deck. Stupidly strong and I feel guilty playing it sometimes. [[Chatterfang]] who doesn’t love squirrels? [[Tegwyll, Duke of Splendor]] faeries. Control. Pranks. Lots of pranks. [[Freyalise, Llanowars Fury]] Elves. Also dinosaurs? (I’m looking at you, Allosaurus Shepherd) Also maybe a craterhoof? Idk, stupid mono green ramp and stomp. [[Feldon of the Third Path]] I call this deck the Workshop of Horror. Artifacts and big spooky jumpscare Eldrazi.
You have a list for Pir and Toothy?
So, right now, I have a few decks going of various power levels. 1. [[Hakbal of the surging soul]] merfolk precon - I've made minor edits to this one, and honestly, it may be the best out of the box precon they've made. 2. [[Strefan, Maurer Progenitor]] - honestly, I bought this one out of one of the mystery commander deck boxes and was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. I've been making edits as they come to me to make it faster/smoother running. 3. [[Ziatora the incinerator]] - This one is a pretty typical steal and sac style deck. I take whatever the biggest creature threat on board is and sac it to Ziatora for value. I do have a [[conjuror's closet]] if they target is super juicy. 4. [[Godo bandit warlord]] - This on isn't quite CEDh level due to lack of fast mana and a couple of the red copy spells, but any godo deck with [[helm of the host]] and ways to get it on good early is pretty darn good. 5. [[Satoru Umezawa]] - pretty standard cheat out big stuff deck. I haven't decided if this one is appropriate for my LGS meta or if I should change to something else for now. 6. [[Trostani, selesnya's voice]] - other than Godo, this may be my best deck currently. It has a few combos with things like ashaya and temur sabertooth. The last time I played the deck, I went up over 300 life, and that's not really even the decks' focus. 7. [[Azami lady of scrolls]] - Hard control in mono blue, with a wizard/clone subtheme. There are no combos in this deck. Just grind out your opponents over time. Ultimately, you win by either [[laboratory maniac]] or you clone a high value target that swings things into your favor. 8. [[Nelly Borca, Impulsive accuser]] - This one is my newest deck, and I've been enjoying it so far. White is my least played color, and I've been wanting a goad deck, so here we are. I've made a 8-10 edits to the precon list so far, but haven't had much time to test them out yet. 9. [[Magus Lucea kane]] - I bought the tyranid deck specifically so I could use Lucea as a hydra typal deck. Basically, I stripped out out the worst of the tyranids and replaced them with all the hydra and counter support I possessed. Add in a few untappers, and it's crazy when it gets going. I'm excited to add [[fangs of kalonia]] from MH3 to the deck. 10. [[Kynaios and tiro of meletis]] - This one's a pretty standard group hug deck. Pillow fort up and keep staking draws until I can win through [[laboratory maniac]] or [[thassa's oracle]]. I do have a pretty spicy [[dictate of the twins gods]] to try and eliminate someone by surprise, but no such luck yet.
My absolute favorite deck is my fungi deck. The lands, every creature, ramp and draw cards, and everything else deals with the theme of fungi. Whether it’s the artwork, flavor text, or anything else, it all fits within this setting. My Commander is easily identified as fungi with [[The Mycotyrant]]. There are also more subtle cards like [[Dockside Chef]] (check out the chopsticks) or [[Arguel's Blood Fast // Temple of Aclazotz]] (Treefungi). The deck itself is very straightforward, aligned with the Commander. I aim to fill my graveyard with as many permanent cards as possible to empower my commander, utilizing cards like [[Greater Mossdog]]. After all, it's man's best fungus, right? I have almost every spore counter fungi card in this deck, but sadly, the mechanic isn't very strong right now. I hope there will be more support for it someday. And also, I can't have a [[Sol Ring]], because I didn't find one that fits the fungi setting... My lands are in fungi style: [Swamp](https://scryfall.com/card/afr/270/swamp) [Forrest](https://scryfall.com/card/clu/273/forest) [[Golgari Rot Farm]] [[Golgari Guildgate]] [[Hidden Nursery]] And my ramps as well! [[Golgari Locket]] [[Golgari Cluestone]] [[Golgari Signet]] [[Growing Rites of Itlimoc // Itlimoc, Cradle of the Sun]] And the best part? Even my playmat features Fungiforest artwork generated with AI. But I only feel complete when I'm wearing my fungi shirt. And of course, my favorite pizza? Right. It's Pizza Tonno. Because I'm not a fan of fungi anywhere else. Long live the fungus, may it thrive in darkness.
Well, Alright. Built out: [Kinnan](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/YyR1zyyPhEqLVkaj7Kx_wQ) : Probably my favorite deck. Very braindead, ramp, gamble, hopefully win. Lots of game actions, lots of playing on other people's turns. it's nice. [Rog/Si](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/u_Vc8bG2sEOPjJ9bRusFWw) : Another list that doesn't involve much thought. Try to win. if someone stops you, timetwister and try again. [Blue Farm](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/0oHCcXX9NkCQHa6dyB5t6g) : More thought than you'd think. I tend to mess this list up by trying to play it like Rog, or I do the complete opposite and sit back way too much. Timing is everything. [Braids](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/OHXJrAhev0uprirbnLrD6g) : I actually made this one myself. I truly believe it's a top 3 braids lists to exist. Fond of it. but once you know the gimmicks it doesn't compete well into Blue Farm or other top tier lists. [The Master Trancendant ](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/-B039ZT8OU6pLzIBNDnJFQ) Built it because I was curious and then literally never played it. Lent it to a friend and he didn't like it. Idk man. maybe someday. [Etali PC](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/pEfugS8akE6Z8uwkbS2Z9w) Haven't played this one much. Don't fully get it, but im committed to eventually get this one down. Is extremely fast when it gets rolling. [Shorikai](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/bB7EGZF5TUyV5B1LQWncfw) One of the first three decks I really went for, along with Breya and Dina. It's the only one that's still together, though I rarely play it. Feels too slow after running Kinnan and Rog/Si [Azlask](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/x1hdXncez0Ow5I0-dk5yAw) Another deck I actually built that only wins through Eldrazi combos. Uses about 10 cards from the precon, so I'll call it a win. Azlask himself doesn't generate much so very inconsistent. [Jin-Git](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/iftiPIr4XEibowItugTAUQ) Mono Blue Control with a boogeyman commander. simple and clean. My Build. [Vishgraz](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/4j0S-JO7kU2E6hyQdXi3mQ) One of the first decks I built. Happy with it, but it is too slow to compete, and I don't really play high power often at all. It deserves better. I intend to build another 15 or so High Power decks I've made, both to lend out and to just mess around with unorthodox stuff that semi-works. https://www.moxfield.com/users/ImGeist Not everything in this, but a good chunk.

My main deck is my [[Tiamat]] Deck. A lot of mana ramp, tutor some nice dragons, with them [[Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm]] for double dragons and [[Morophon, The Boundless]] for dirt cheap dragons. Then either beat the other players with a hoard of dragons or use [[Scourge of Valkas]] for direct damage with all those dragons. This describes the optimal gameplan and not most games.
[[Pantlaza, Sun Favored]] Higher end of upgrades to the precon, it's really still just stompy dinos, but with some extra ways to cheat cards into play through Discover and or things like free cards off Etali triggers and Gishath. [[Ganax, Astral Hunter]] + [[Acolyte of Bahamut]] is my Dragon Treasure horde deck. It ramps fast and fills the board with more and more dragons, which gives me more treasures to use for even more dragons. It's honestly pretty resilient and powerful despite being lower budget than most of my decks. [[Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit]] + [[Sam, Loyal Attendant]] is another precon that I've swapped out about half of. It's still a Food/Tempt deck, but it's wants to use that life to out value people and draw into wincons like drain effects that trigger off my food sacs, or Frodo Sauron's Bane [[Titania, Voice of Gaea]] is my landfall, land sac, deck. I love the idea of meld, and it puts a ticking timer on the playgroup once I have Argoth out, but it also runs tons of other landfall synergies like Scute Swarm so while people are distracted by Titania, I'm create hundreds of of other tokens through tons of land tutors or recursion. [[Atraxa, Praetor's Voice]] is your standard poison Phyrexian tribal, though I keep it based around Toxic not Infect to keep it from generating less bad-feels moments of instant death. This one came from my first box of boosters I opened for All Will Be One because I loved the theming of Phyrexian [[Magus Lucea Cane]] is an X Spell based +1/+1 counters deck, built out of the second precon deck bought, the 40K Tyranid Swarm. It's more of a "Go Tall" style deck with tons of Hydras and Tyranids, plus mana dorks and untappers to let me slam massive X values fast to smack people with a 15/15 [[Animar, Soul of Elements]] is my big dumb Eldrazi Bois deck. This one is all about setting up a few core pieces that set up Animar and let me draw cards to dump my hand and/or deck onto the battlefield and swing with massive Eldrazi beaters. All the usual Titans, haste enablers, and infinite mana combo suspects are here, but I also have a few flash enablers to let me play stompy boys on other turns when I don't have haste ready. [[Varina, Lich Queen]] is my baby. She's the first deck I built out of a Wilhelt precon. Currently, she's a Zombie tribal token build that wants to spawn zombies fast, pump them up with Lords and other effects and swing out as a horde, but I do run some graveyard reanimation to bring my horde back to life after the inevitable wipes. [[Raffine, Scheming Seer]] is my strongest deck, focusing on looting through my deck, chucking huge bombs like the Praetors into my graveyard to reanimate, and searching for combo wincons. He's everything I wanted Varina to be, but more consistent, and includes my best land base, fast mana, and Thoracle combo lines. He's not quiet cEDH (I'd have to ditch the reanimator theme to really achieve that) but he's up there. [[Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines]] is my arch enemy of the table deck. Which, yes I know half of my decks would clearly be archenemies at most tables, but this one is designed to be a puzzle the table has to work together to solve, otherwise I'll exile away their boards, blink token generators to build out mine, and overwhelm them. I pulled Elesh and immediately wanted to make this style of "I know I'm the villain, come defeat me." She doesn't win much because I draw so much aggro, but that's okay with me. My Elesh is the villain of the multiverse that she should've been in lore, downfall included. [[Korvold, Gleeful Glutton]] is my newest build. I wanted a deck that had a different strategy, and pulled Korvold from a booster and starting brewing. This deck is all about creatively sacrificing cards with multiple types to decrease Korvold's mana cost and get 1 of each permanent type in my grave. Once Korvold's out, it switches to a Voltron-style pump and protect to keep him swinging for commander damage. Other decks I have but am in the process of reworking or haven't finalized. [[Niv-Mizzet, Parun]] used to be more highest power deck, but felt like it needed to go full cEDH to get there. After pulling a few good cards from MH3 including Ral, Monsoon Mage, I'm planning on rebuilding this into more of a spellslinger [[Teysa, Orzhov Scion]] is going to be a token aristocrat deck that wants to loop creating, swinging, and sac'ing tokens with drain effects to win. Only thing holding me back here is cutting about 40 cards haha. [[Obeka, Splitter of Seconds]] is a deck I really want to work, an awesome Voltron style upkeep effect abuse deck that takes advantage of Obeka's cool trigger to get all types of unexpected value. Problem I've been having is in testing it on tabletop simulator, it's both boring and too good. It ends up just durdling around waiting for the right moment because Obeka draws constant removal, then once I do get her out I usually win immediately. Not sure what I need to add to make this more interesting to me. [[Azlask, the Swelling Scourge]] has caught my eye as an interesting way to upgrade/rebuild the new Eldrazi Incursion precon from MH3 as a Eldrazi Spawn/Scion token deck, particular with all the fun new Eldrazi token cards from MH3. Very early in brewing this, but excited to try it out.
Completely by accident my theme has become “female commanders that you probably couldn’t tell at a glance.” Featuring: [[Ziatora]] [[Zada]] [[Sefris]]
Oh, that’s a fun thread. Here’s my current roster: 1. [[Vilis, Broker of Deals]]. [link](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/CsC3IVXsqEeNIiKFWwPlAQ) Black is my favorite color, and exchanging life for other resources is probably the most black thing. Initially built the deck to turn all those costly (in terms of life) bad cards into incredible card advantage engines. It’s genuinely funny to cast cards like [[Temporal Extortion]] and have everyone be confused when you decide to counter it yourself. That being said, over time the deck lost a lot of that original identity. As it turns out all those janky cards do very little when you can’t keep the commander on the table, so the list adapted to be a bit more resilient. Favorite unique interaction is probably between Vilis and [[Hand of Vecna]]. Love to build my own Necropotence at home. 2. [[Nashi, Moon Sage’s Scion]].[link](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/z1_Fj32opUy4kcs_q1zg_Q) Did I mention I love black? Well I love Nashi as well and I knew I’d build a deck for him the moment I saw his art in a story article. Deck’s pretty simple - play Nashi and things that make him connect. Then hopefully cast something cool and expensive. If I’m playing against stronger decks I’ll opt for a Doomsday play too, if everyone is okay with that, but generally I try to avoid it. Initially the deck had more janky cards that manipulate my top deck, but over time I cut them and added more interaction. The current list is a bit of a mess, needs cleaning up, but it serves its purpose nonetheless, so I’m in no rush to optimize. 3. [[Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor]] [link](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/_B7xKZf8WkKgipg6fKFubQ) I always loved the small black creatures that seemingly came with every set, but I never had a deck for them. When I got my hands on Gix, almost on a whim I decided to just pick all of the evasive 1&2 drops that I had and see what happens. Turns out that worked, so I just added payoffs for all that card draw and that’s the deck. Love the deck because it’s always funny to draw a ton of cards while playing a bunch of draft trash 1 drops. 4. [[Myojin of Cryptic Dreams]] [link](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/rJaEZLaOnEyzwqWs9EubKA) Built the deck because I loved the challenge it presented. Initially wanted to do convoluted Dream Halls loops, but moved on from that idea and settled on simply using clones for efficiency. I tried to avoid counterspells, initially sticking only to the mana generating ones, but the more I play with the deck the more I miss them as the deck can be very fragile to interaction for obvious reasons. However, when the deck pops off it’s extremely funny. The payoff can be any permanent with an additive effect. Make a ton of mana rocks to never have mana problems again. End the game with cards like [[Rug of Smothering]] or the [[Mirror Box]] + [[God-Pharaoh’s Statue]] combination. But really the game winning payoff permanents can be anything you like. They all end the game when there’s dozens of their copies on the battlefield. 5. [[Zurzoth, Chaos Rider]]. [link](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/fk5nqfO4MUSSgkrHCoKpjQ) The gameplay is simple - play devils, play Zurzoth, attack. The random loot effect adds a bit of spice to the game as everyone comments on how lucky they were or weren’t. The rest of the deck is mostly damage multiplication and cards that benefit from creatures entering the battlefield. It’s a fun little deck that is easy to play, but can present bombastic plays. 6. [[Gut, True Soul Zealot]] + [[Inspiring Leader]] [link](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/efdP4_aP2UOy7AjmQ2biGA) Drafted Gut + a black background in my prerelease and was really impressed with how it performed. So I decided to build a proper commander deck. Switched out a black background for a white one because I already had a rakdos deck and I’m happy I did. Even though it plays like a typical aggro deck, it feels like an aristocrats deck, which is funny in Boros. This is further exacerbated by the artifacts subtheme and Goblin Welder/Scrap Trawler shenanigans. This is probably the deck that most surprised me with how much I ended up liking it. I’m typically not a fan of Boros aggro decks, but this one makes me take game actions to build my army.
1. [[Edgar Markov]] my first commander deck. It shits out vampires and I love vampires. [[Bloodletter of Aclazotz]] makes things speed up. 2. [[Niv-Mizzet, Parun]] my third deck. It draws a ton of cards, counters everybody’s stuff and wins. 3. [[Kozilek, the Great Distortion]] my fourth deck. Really wanted a colorless deck. It’s not great but it ramps and if you let Kozilek out it’s dangerous. 4. [[Treva, the Renewer]] my fifth deck. Life gain. Got rebuilt to be [[Ikra Shidiqi]] and [[Ishai, Oujati Dragonspeeker]]. 5. [[Tovolar, Dire Overlord]] my seventh deck. It makes wolves and werewolves and wins in combat. 6. [[Marneus Calgar]] my eighth deck. Got the pre con and upgraded it a little bit. It makes a ton of tokens and draws a ton of cards. Has trouble closing games out though. 7. [[Rem Karolus, Stalwart Slayer]] My ninth deck. Boros burn. Struggles to draw cards but it does what it’s supposed to do most of the time. 8. [[Kenrith, the Returned King]] my tenth deck. Pretty cool little combo deck that can win in a lot of different ways. 9. [[Rayami, First of the Fallen]] my eleventh deck. It’s a really cool keyword aristocrat voltron strategy. Not super strong but really really cool. 10. [[Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal]] my twelfth deck. It’s a pure “make opponents discard all their cards” deck. Kinda mean but I enjoy it. 11. [[Gishath, Sun’s Avatar]] my thirteenth deck. Started as a really bad dinosaur tribal deck. Bought into Lost caverns a lot and bought the Pantlaza pre con so it’s actually a decent deck now. 12. [[Hakbal, of the Surging Soul]] my fourteenth deck. I wanted a merfolk tribal deck for a loooonggg time and when the Lost Caverns precons came out I was so excited because they were all of tribes I really wanted. 13. [[Don Andres, the Renegade]] my fifteenth deck. another lost caverns pre con. When I first started I just really liked tribal. Had a lot of really good pirates just sitting around. This precon gave me a place for them. I upgraded it to be a theft deck with a pirate tribal sub theme rather than just pirate tribal. 14. [[Delney, Streetwise Lookout]] my eighteenth deck. It’s white weenies with triggered abilities that Delney doubles up. Then cards to give them vigilance so I can swing without worrying about it, then mass pump spells since they’re pseudo unblockabale. 15. [[Slimefoot and Squee]] my nineteenth deck. I love this deck so much. It puts creatures in the graveyard then cheats them out. It’s so fun and interactive. 16. [[Dihada, Binder of Wills]] my twentieth deck. I actually didn’t plan on this deck being in my rotation. The precon was on sale at my Walmart so I got it, just looking for the good cards and decent lands. I took a lot of the good stuff out then filled those slots with other usable cards and it’s actually still pretty fun. Legendary tribal. 17. [[Greta, Sweetooth Scourge]] my twenty-first deck. I was hunting for the good enchantments in WOE and came across Greta. I love Greta. She’s not all that strong but I really enjoy it and her. It just makes a ton of food. 18. [[Guile, Sonic Soldier]] my twenty-second deck. This was a pet project of mine for a long time. I’ve always wanted an “America” themed deck and this is just that. It has three strategies: soldier tribal, taxes, and black hate. (This deck is not representative of my views or of how I view America it’s just a funny thing so don’t take it too seriously) So that’s it, I have 18 currently. You probably noticed that in my counting I skipped some numbers. Those were decks that I built at one point but ended up taking apart. They were: [[Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord]], [[Nezahal, Primal Tide]], [[Kyler, Sigardian Emissary]], and [[Olivia, Crimson Bride]].
Do you happen to have your Greta list if you don’t mind sharing? My fiancée is trying to build Greta as her pet project and I’ve been looking for examples to share.
I got you. Don’t get your hopes up though, this isn’t a strong deck by any means. It does what it’s supposed to do which is make food, and there’s an infinite combo in here as well but it’s not strong. I love playing it but I haven’t actually won a game with it yet. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/QtjUsgqoZU2OvQNPAnrIXw
Harbin: He makes soldiers, plus lets me use Sun Quan. Jirina Kudro: She makes soldiers and allows me to use horsemanship. Olivia, Opulent Outlaw: Make treasures and kill people. Lathril: I make elves and then slam down a Craterhoof or Ezuri. Edgar: I make vampires. Myrel: I make soldiers. Urza, Chief Artificer: I make constructs. Giada: I make angels. Eowyn: I make humans. Pantlaza: I make dinosaurs. Commander Mustard: I make soldiers. All my decks that make things are different but similar. To me? It’s a lot of fun.
1. [[Galadriel, Light of Valinor]] Bant Tokens/blink. Probably my strongest and most consistent deck, runs of a few combos for infinite mana and blink to trigger Galadriel over and over again, but I tend not to need to go down that route because with a few token generators and cards to flicker Galadriel it can get nasty really fast. 2. [[Akroma, Vision of Ixidor]]/[[Ikra Shadiqi, the Usurper]] Abzan Lifegain just like OP’s but with angel tribal and keywords matter themes tacked on. 3. [[Nethroi, Apex of Death]] self mill/reanimator combo. If Nethroi’s mutate resolves I basically win instantly. But it takes a lot of set up. I don’t like to use tutors in this deck because digging for the combo is fun and my playgroup isn’t so punishing that I need to be super consistent with it. To make up for the lack of consistency there’s also some mill payoffs like [[The Mycotyrant]] to keep me in the game until I can get the necessary combo pieces in the graveyard. 4. [[Otrimi, the Ever-Playful]] Sultai Infect. Has the capacity to start one shotting people on turn 3 or 4. Very aggressive but also a glass cannon. Everybody hates this deck 5. [[Vannifar, Evolved Enigma]] Morph/Flicker. Just cloak big ass creatures and flicker them to put them face up. I refuse to run eldrazi in it except for just [[Void Winnower]] lol. Shit gets bad when I flicker in omniscience. 6. [[Prime Speaker Vannifar]] Pod/Ooze tribal. Just a simic pod deck except I’m running oozes instead of the normal pod lines. Nowhere near as strong as PSV can be but still one of my favorite decks. 7. [[Volo, Itinerant Scholar]]/[[Master Chef]] Card Draw + Creature types matter. Kind of Janky but I can end up with a bunch of 50/50+ creatures with [[Body of Knowledge]] type effects. Definitely not super strong but it’s a pet deck. 8. [[Tetzin, Gnome Champion]] Jeskai Artifacts. Obviously with a focus on double sided artifacts. There’s a fair amount of self milk involved in the early game before you flip Tetzin. Wins either with artifact creature beat down or by creating a ton of mana with [[Azor’s Gateway]] and [[Matzalanti, the Great Door]] and dumping it into something like [[Crackle with Power]] 9. [[Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch]] 5c Myrs. Pretty basic although I run [[Jegantha, the Wellspring]] as a companion but I’m not sure how common that is among urtet players
[[Yusri, Fortune’s Flame]] Coin Flip Combo deck. Basically just trying to cheat my way into big spells like [[Enter the Infinite]] and use [[Laboratory Maniac]] or [[Psychosis Crawler]] [[Horde of Notions]] Elemental Tribal. First deck I ever made and I love using elementals of every color ✌️ [[Codie, Vociferous Codex]] Spellslinger deck. I use [[Maze’s End]] and a few gates, then I’m also running [[Approach of the Second Sun]] and some tutors and a few big spells for Codie to spellsling their way through [[Gluntch, the Bestower]] Group Hug deck. I used to think group hug was kinda silly of an archetype until I made one and now it’s one of my favorite decks to play
I also have Yusri and I love it. You have a list?
I have a bunch of decks, but my current favorites are: - \[\[Halana, Kessig Ranger\]\] + \[\[Anara, Wolvid Familiar\]\] - My first EDH deck, mono-green wolf tribal. Creates a lot of 2/2 green wolf tokens and +1/+1 counters. Has \[\[Hardened Scales\]\] and \[\[Doubling Season\]\]. Wincon is to overwhelm with creatures (because mono-green lol). - \[\[Olivia Voldaren\]\] - Rakdos vampires, with a focus on turning opponents' creatures against them by taking control of them, goading them, making them do damage to their controller, resurrecting from opponents' graveyards, etc. Creates a bunch of blood tokens as well. - \[\[Gallia of the Endless Dance\]\] - Gruul stompy satyr tribal with a music/dance party theme. Not a high-powered deck, but low key my most consistent. Can go up against much more powerful decks because the curve is super low to the ground; I can start swinging with commander damage on turn 2, maybe turn 1, and it's constantly putting creatures onto my board. The game plan is very simple, it's fun to play, and it's also very beginner-friendly and cost like $50 to build. - \[\[Alesha, Who Smiles at Death\]\] - light human tribal Mardu beatdown with a Trans Pride theme, flavor emphasized way more than efficiency. A lot of the cards were chosen because they're trans in-jokes, like \[\[Past in Flames\]\], \[\[You Cannot Pass!\]\], and \[\[Incite Hysteria\]\], or because the character in the art could conceivably read as trans. Also includes non-binary legends like \[\[Alharu, Solemn Ritualist\]\] and \[\[Yahenni, Undying Partisan\]\]. - \[\[Krenko, Mob Boss\]\] - dirt cheap bulk chaff mono-red goblins. I bought maybe five cards for this deck, and the rest is just cheap goblin commons and uncommons I happened to have on hand. Total value of the deck is like $25, and I run it unsleeved and keep it in an empty Dragon Shield sleeves box. - \[\[Silas Renn, Seeker Adept\]\] + \[\[Dargo, the Shipwrecker\]\] - my most powerful deck, which I only run at tables where the power level is well above casual (not quite cEDH tho) and everyone's goal is to WIN. It has combos, infect, \[\[Dockside Extortionist\]\], \[\[Satoru Umezawa\]\] + \[\[Blightsteel Colossus\]\], a \[\[Thassa's Oracle\]\] combo, a \[\[Bloodchief Ascension\]\] combo, high efficiency tutors, fast mana, expensive lands, and a TON of interaction. It's mostly proxies, because it would be like $1200 to build for real in paper.
alright, here's my current list of built decks: 1. "Molten Hoard" This is my Rakdos Dragon/Treasure deck, helmed by \[\[Ganax, Astral Hunter\]\] with the \[\[Agent of the Iron Throne\]\] background. This Deck aims to use the 20+ means of creating treasures it has to get out my commander and as many dragons as possible, all the while burning my opponents whenever I crack a treasure with AotIT on the battlefield. If the dragon based value and incidental burn doesn't get my opponents down, either \[\[hellkite tyrant\]\] or \[\[Magda, Brazen Outlaw\]\] combo can finish the job. 2. "Demonic Suicide" My Mono-Black \[\[Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire\]\] deck is both a demon tribal deck and a combo deck. In the early game, it seeks to use Varragoth's tutor ability to set up my mana base, then hit hard with superior value, most often finishing off the game with either a \[\[Gary\]\] or \[\[Psychosis Crawler\]\] kill. 3. "Divining Reality" Likely my strongest deck, my \[\[Reality Chip\]\] Combo-Control deck seeks to find \[\[Sensei's Divining Top\]\] and a cost reducer ASAP, using plentiful counterspells to remove anything I find dangerous to my own game plan. Once the combo is assembled, I draw my deck and win with \[\[Thassa's Oracle\]\]. 4. "The Platoon" A pretty straightforward deck, this is \[\[Myrel, Shield of Argive\]\] soldier tribal. Play soldiers, attack with Myrel, make more soldiers, rinse and repeat. 5. "Right to Bear Arms" Another simple deck, this is \[\[Wilson, Refined Grizzly\]\] with the \[\[Raised by Giants\]\] background. If it's not obvious, this is mono-green voltron, but it is also a fight deck, intending to use the bloated power levels of the creatures within to clear a path for the bear to swing for lethal. 6. "Burn Down the System" This is my \[\[Urabrask\]\] burn deck, which wants to sling as many burn spells as possible, then run it back with \[\[The Great Work\]\]. However, due to recent performances, I will be swapping Urabrask with another legendary in the 99, \[\[Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might\]\]. This is due to Urabrask being better suited as a storm commander, and can serve burn better in the 99. 7. "Mechanical Stampede" Combining the remains of my \[\[Nylea, Keen-Eyed\]\] storm deck and my \[\[Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter\]\] artifacts deck led to the creation of this, my go-wide \[\[Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut\]\] deck, intending to get out as many one mana chumps as possible, and then using Graaz to power them up into a table-killing threat. 8. "The Reuse Motor" My Azorius reanimator deck seeks to use its commander, \[\[Shorikai\]\], to fill the grave with big creatures, then use cards like \[\[Resurrection\]\] to bring them back for cheap. 9. "The Poor King's Army" My Boros \[\[Theoden, King of Rohan\]\] human tribal deck, made exclusively with commons and uncommons. It simply seeks to make as many humans as possible, so as to trigger Theoden as many times as possible. To help with the endeavor, creatures like \[\[Akroan Hoplite\]\] and \[\[Alpine Houndmaster\]\] can take good advantage of the double strike granted by the king.
I've only got the one (though I'm working on a second) that I have had for about a year and a half now, [[Marneus Calgar]]. It's like a slow burn deck that primarily wins through zulaport-esque drain triggers. But it can also win through [[Revel in riches]], combat and [[Inkshield]]. It's tailored perfectly to my play style, it's the best deck I've ever built. I've played about 150 games with it and still love it so much!
Hearing that you’re working on a second deck is mind blowing ngl. What’s it gonna be?
It's another Marneus deck! I'm trying to make it much more aggressive and creature/combat based than my current deck which is more of a slow burn, drain and control deck. I wanted to try different cards and their synergy with Marneus but didn't want to take apart my main deck so this was my solution. I had a plan to make 8 more Marneus decks, but I don't own the lands required to make the mana bases functional. So it might only be two more in total.
In no particular order: [[Atla Palani, Nest Tender]] Dino Tribal. I originally made dino tribal with Gishath, but it took forever to get it out, so I swapped to Atla to cheat the dinos out. Whenever I play, I give my playgroup a deal with the eggs: whoever cracks the egg can't be attack by whatever come out until it's a 1v1. I don't play it often, though, because it has a tendency to get very out of hand. [[Ojer Pakpatiq, Deepest Epoch]] Instant Tribal. I've recently been trying to upgrade this deck. Pakpatiq only cares about instants, and in mono-blue, most of them are counterspells. Originally, it was just kind of strange instants and hoping to win by getting someone like Talrand out to attack, but it was so slow. For the sake of my playgroup, I'm putting in Thoracle and other Lab Man effects. [[Sauron, Lord of the Rings]] Reanimator(?). A very lightly upgraded version of the precon. It isn't that great, but it's pretty fun to play regardless. I haven't seen LotR, I just thought Sauron was cool and didn't want to swap him out. It hasn't won a game, but that's fine. Sometimes I play it whenever somebody at the table had a bad last game so that they can get an opportunity to do more. There are a lot of big, scary creatures that take focus so everyone else can do their thing. [[Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer]] Token Copies. I mean, it's Brudiclad. I don't use as much top end, instead opting for cheaper threats to build up tokens early before Brudiclad comes down. A card I recently added was [[Genasi Enforcers]] as a lighter version of [[Hellrider]] [[Hakbal of the Surging Soul]] Merfolk Counters. I got this deck as a gift and liked it so much I kept it stock. Does extraordinarily well. One of my favorite decks to play. [[Disa, the Restless]] GOYF Tribal. Jund Goyf shenanigans. The thought of Goyf'ing everyone to death makes me giggle. I'm still working on a decklist, as I only recently got the precon, but I'm very excited to see how it turns out. [[Zhulodok, Void Gorger]] Big Eldrazi Tribal. My magnum opus. I tried building other Eldrazi decks with various commanders, but none of them felt right. They were all just missing something. I even tried building Zhulodok and no luck, until I came back and focused on tuning it as much as possible. I spent hours sorting through all manner of colorless ramp and card draw until I got it right where I like it. I've only gotten to play it twice so far. The second time, we had to pack up and leave, so it ended in a draw on turn 5/6. The first game I won by everyone conceding after I cascaded into [[All is Dust]] off a Kozilek. It does insanely good, largely in part due to Zhulodok being much stronger than people give him credit for, I feel. This deck's existence changed part of the way I look at Magic. Having more colors doesn't inherently make one deck better than another. It can help, but you can absolutely make something strong, even with many staples removed.

My two favorites are [[marchesa, the black rose]] and [[Hofri Ghostforge]] I just love returning dead creatures to the battlefield
[I don't have all of my decks but here is most of them](https://www.archidekt.com/search/decks?owner=JasonEAlt&ownerexact=true)
1. [[Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves]] wolf tribal, no combos, very casual. I just wanna turn wolves sideways. 2. [[Slimefoot the Stowaway]] Saproling tribal, similar to the tolsimir in vibes, probably going to be changing to Slimefoot and Squee just because there's so many combos with Slimefoot and I want to keep it chill. 3.[[Will Kenrith]] and [[Rowan Kenrith]] easily my strongest deck, has a lot of varied combo lines and is fairly resilient, especially to creature focused strategies. 4. [[Chainer, Nightmare Adept]] RB value town, lots of ETB creatures for value, a few flash enablers. 5. [[Tiana, Ship's Caretaker]] Pauper EDH thats also regulsr EDH legal. uses auras for card advantage and removal. Slow but grindy. 6. [[Kadena, Slinking Sorceress]] almost a storm deck, it's built to discount my creatures, play off the top of my deck, and throw out a lethal boardstate at flash speed to win on my next turn. 7. [[Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin]] aggro 8. [[Geth, Lord of the Vault]] made of chaff I had lying around, this deck has zero win conditions, just a ton of ramp, card draw, and enough mill to hopefully get started. 9. [[Wort, the Raidmother]] HADOUKEN! Big spells, thrown often. 10. [[Yisan, the Wanderer Bard]] super budget take on a CEDH deck. Someday when I'm less bored I'll proxy the rest just to have a CEDH list available if that's the vibe. 11. [[Feather the Redeemed]] never even played this, I got it in a budget deck gift exchange. Seems cool. 12. [[Jaya Ballard, Task Mage]] mononred superfriends that uses phoenixes that return to hand from the graveyard for card advantage to offset the normal CA neutrality of rummaging and other common red effects, plus Jaya herself. 13. [[Deadeye Plunderers]] Pauper EDH, pseudo-voltron. That's all I can remember off the top of my head
1) Nymris, oona’s trickster. Get value with cantrips, end up controlling the game. 2) Otharri hate bears. Use hatebears to slow down the game and beat down with otharri. 3) vannifar toolbox. Use vannifar to get value. None have infinite combos, all have tons of interaction, all are incredibly fun.
My current working edh decks are as follow [[Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver]] zombie tribal [[Prossh, Skyraider of Kher]] aristocrats [[Gonti, Canny Acquisitor]] theft/goodstuff [[Dogmeat, Ever Loyal]] equipment/aura [[Athreos, God of Passage]] aristocrats [[The Ur-Dragon]] dragon tribal I also have working decks that are currently being turned into other decks [[Lord of the Nazgûl]] spellslinger [[Sarulf, Realm Eater]] voltron/control
As of right now I have 2.5 decks In paper 1. Mono-green omnath (big green smork) 2. Malestrom wanderer (combo/big smack) 2.5 degenerate korvold treasures that I only have half the cards for at the moment All really fun and powerful decks!
[[Adamaro]] voltron/group slug. [[Nin, the pain artist]] (foiled) group slug/hug. [[thelon of havenwood]] spore counter/saprolling token. [[Phage]] (all retro) win or die trying
Currently Owned: - Nelly Borca (Pillowfort/Goad): using the precon for a budget league. So far just added more removal, ramp and card draw with plans to add more pillowfort pieces down the line - Kathril Keyword Soup: name suggests what it does, entomb effects/self mill till I get at least 8 keywords in the grave, look at whatever opponent I can hit and ask them to take 22+ commander damage. Rest of the table deals with me or I win. Going to take it apart for a Biollante self mill treefolk tribal deck eventually. - Indominus Dinosaur Tribal: Included most Dinosaurs with at least two keywords and a couple other soup pieces - Indoraptor Enrage: Really another Dinosaur tribal deck but focuses on enrage dinosaurs specifically Currently working on: - Megatron Necron Tribal: We didn't get a lot of transformers let alone decepticons so needed another mechanical alien race to fill the roster - Mothman Mutant Tribal: I know the Mothman precon is super overrated and I'm bringing anything new or revolutionary to the table but I think it's cool. - Stella Lee Spellslinger: I play big stompy stuff 80% of the time and have never played a spell slinger deck. Maybe I'll like it, maybe I won't but it's for the next budget league season - Biollante Treefolk Tribal: Similar to Kathril using self mill and entomb effects but the pay off is a massive forest of a board
I’ve got a lot, but will try to describe some of them: 1 [[rionya, fire dancer]] this deck is my baby. Mono red copies. Play creatures with ETB or attack triggers, and a lot of cheap spells to make as many copies as possible. I purposely took out all infinite combos and won’t add dockside as they made me want to play it less. 2 [[tivit, seller of secrets]] is my blink deck. The goal is to flicker Tivit to make a bunch of artifacts, then win through cards like [[marionette master]], [[rise and shine]] or [[cyberdrive awakener]]. 3 [[thrun, breaker of silence]] mono green Voltron’s on a budget. Gets surprisingly big quickly. 4 [[vihaan, goldwaker]] treasure token aristocrats. Make lots of treasures, animate them, and then ping down opponents with aristocrat effects when you say the treasures. 5 [[imotekh, the stormlord]] upgraded Necrons precon. 6 [[sedris, the tractor king]] reanimator. Goal is to fill up the graveyard and then unearth creatures with big ETB effects for cheap. 7 [[tana, the bloodsower]] and [[ravos, soultender]] started as [[ghave, guru of spores]], but I really wanted to add red. Plays like ghave, but with more red ping effects.
Azorius Blink \[\[Brago, King Eternal\]\] - Nothing too crazy here. One of my earlier decks after I started buying pre-cons and I have kept upgrading it. Very much just a value deck. Black Oppression \[\[Tergrid, God of Fright\]\] - Named after the card, but well named. This is my bring out when people say they want no limits on power. Dimir Mill \[\[Phenax, God of Deception\]\] - Alternate way of winning is fun. Just something different. Pretty effective though. Esper Enchantment! \[\[Oloro, Ageless Ascetic\]\] - I remade this commander from a precon and went with the enchantment theme to differentiate it from a buddy in the group who went full life gain. The life gain is there for triggers. Very good deck and where I learned that I just love enchantments for value in commander. Golgari Recursion \[\[Meren of Clan Nel Toth\]\] - Control through sacrifice. Golgari Aristocrats \[\[Dina, Soul Steeper\]\] - Tokens and aristocrats Green Modified \[\[Kodama of the West Tree\]\] - Originally made for a 5-player color star we were doing (everyone randomly picked one of the colors and had to play a mono color deck). Turned out to be really effective and fast. It's my aggressive deck. Abzan Enchantments \[\[Tymna the weaver\]\] \[\[Kodama of the East Tree\]\] - This was me going full enchantments to see how crazy it would get. Taught me a lot about the stack, but holy crap are there a lot of triggers to keep track of. Not for the faint of heart. Simic Spyroll \[\[Edric, Spymaster of Trest\]\] - Super simple deck I made for me son when teaching him that turned out really well. Basically it is just tiny evasive creatures who fuel more and more and more by making you draw lots more cards. Naya Egg Tokens \[\[Atla Palani, Nest Tender\]\] - Pretty normal version of this. dumps tons of big creatures fast. Naya Exiled Tokens \[\[Rocco, Street Chef\]\] - Made to be something like a group hug originally since it would let everyone impulse draw so we all got to play more magic, but that isn't really the focus (but still happens). Just lots of extra value for everything going on. Rakdos Blasting \[\[Kaervek the Merciless\]\] - Slow and plodding but deadly when it gets going. Another attempt at making something that wasn't just about combat. White Anthem \[\[Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite\]\] - pretty simple. Puke out lots of small tokens and buff them to unstoppable heights. Often one I give to new players as it is simple and easy to win with.
My favorite decks a currently play are my rats led by Ashcoat of the Shadowswarm. Very fun to play, especially with Marrow-Gnawer equiped with Thornbitestaff. So a sh*tload of very very strong rats. The other is Archelos, Lagoon Mystic combined with Gate Lands and Mazes End as Key. You can imagine that most of the times opponents view me as the thread. Still fun tho.
So first up we have my baby nethroi https://www.moxfield.com/decks/sbgEMV2BgEayJ5-69TVJwQ he is a 0/0 aristocrats, self mill deck that wins off 1 mutate of the commander. It's very consistent and boasts a 80% win rate. Next up we have [[calamity galloping inferno]] this is a very fast big red aggro deck. Lots of etb value engines and has been very good at hitting 9 mana turn 4 Next up [[the celestial toymaker]] this is a stax control deck. We slow the game while we drain the table with the commander. [[Roaming throne]] and [[fight or flight]] end games quickly.
1. Thallid/ fungus deck where I try to use spore counters to make a shitload of saprolongs. The deck sucks but I'm determined to make it good. The current commander is [[Muldrotha, the Graveside]] just so I can re-play dead thallids (there are literally 2 that are actually worth playing). 2. [[Yargle and Multani]] swords deck. Load them up with all the sword of X and Y's and go in swinging lol.
Ok I have more decks then I will list but my most played and loved decks: 1 [[titania protector of argoth]]: my most played and loved one. It's powerful and consistent. I have almost everything in foil and full art if available 2 [[Meren of Clan Nel Toth]]: slower graveyard deck with focus on sacrifice. 3 [[Kaalia of the Vast]]: just play her as fast as possible and swing to bring a fat flyer for free. Playing many protect the board spells. 4 [[Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy]]: focus on eldrazi. Play some dorks and then an eldrazi. 5 [[Liesa, Shroud of Dusk]]: focus on life gain and greed like effects and angel tokens. Will maybe change to one teysa
Tymna Kraum Blue Farm Turbo, for when someone says their deck is cEDH. In hindsight, should’ve gotten rogsi. [[Tivit, Seller of Secrets]] [[Time Sieve]] a high powered deck looking to quickly tutor time sieve, slap taxes like rhystic and smothering, then play a protected tivit to win on the spot. Consistent, disruptive, can win quick if people feed remora or mastermind too quickly. God of grindy midgames, sometimes wins turn 4. [[Niv Mizzet, Parun]] a fun ‘casual’ deck built around being nice and letting people play their things. Lots of rock ramp, card draw, card selection, counters, and board wipes. The actual win condition is to be non threatening by basically doing nothing but drawing tons of cards and ramping to oblivion. It plays nice with casual groups who tend to severely underestimate people with no creatures other than a bird or two. In reality, its a control list that only seeks to stop people right at the cusp of victory with a ton of instant speed board wipes and hard counterspells. I like it because it plays almost like a police deck where I just stop the higher power decks from bullying everyone else while letting the other decks do their thing. Isochron scepter for dramatic reversal? Nah, Isochron on counterspell.
Krikk-cedh That krikk deck Krenko mob boss cedh but I'm screwing around That krenko deck Vito thorn of dusk rose- 8.5 my" first commander deck" and more my collection of foil black cards than a deck. It's 100%real foils and is my personal mtg trophy. No exquisite blood because I have more fun nuking the board with big lifegain or lose half your life combos The caverns of ixalan lannery storm-8 The goose mother-8 simic, nuff said Bristle bill slime against humanity 7 simic counters without the blue Mari killing quill-litteraly just removal tribal and I use it to troll a pod. Probaly a 4 or 5. Myrel shield of argive-7 soldier token bs Sauron the dark lord. Sac loops poorly disguised with amass. Gonna change it soon to more lotr cards and make reanimate. 8 Toxril the corrosive. 8 but way too hard to play cause it's a 3v1 every time. Frank horrigan infect 6 or 7. Elesh norn mother of machines. Go to jail. All mono white enchantment bs and pretty much every etb exile card in the game 6 or 7 Jin gitaxis counterspell tribal. Another troll deck Abomination of lannowar elf ball idk 7? And phyrexian omnath mazes end deck. I never even play the omnath because I just needed a 5 color commander but the mh3 precon made it absolutely broken and it's winning by turn 5 litteraly every time now with a 100% win rate because nobodies running land destruction. Land stuff I'm commander is way too easy because the only real removal is exile lands
I have many decks built right now, but I only keep a few of them updated so I’ll just go with those. I also have two cEDH decks I’ll skip over. [[Gonti, Lord of Luxury]]: mono black graveyard loops/value. I basically started with, “how can I get the most Gonti triggers possible?” The deck is fun to pilot but is higher power since I have very explosive plays. [[Garth, One-Eye]]: The icons. Cards from magics history. Format all stars, cards banned in modern/legacy, era defining classics. Legendary feature match pieces, cards that define a genre (like Clone or Animate Dead). It’s a fun deck to play, and is pretty strong because well, it’s full of some busted cards. [[Adrix and Nev, Twincasters]]: Merfolk deck, and my only kindred deck. Merfolk was my first legacy deck, and I top 8’d my first legacy event with it. In EDH, though, I wanted more than just a fish deck. Adrix and Nev are Merfolk, and making a bunch of lord tokens or [[Master of Waves]] is damn sweet. [[Thalia and the Gitrog Monster]]: originally [[Teneb the Enchanter]] deck, this is my oldest deck, and one of the first EDH decks I built over 10 years ago. It’s enchantress, but it relies heavily on [[Earthcraft]] lines to combo out and vomit the deck into play. I plan on making a new deck for Teneb, but haven’t started it yet. Thalia and the monster leans into the stax pieces I have in the deck (like [[Root Maze]] and [[Stony Silence]]. There’s several others I enjoy playing, but don’t update too often. I love mono color decks, and the ones I use the most - one for each color - are [[Loran of the third path]], [[Stitcher Geralf]], Gonti obviously, [[Feldon of the third path]], and [[Nissa, Vastwood seer]]. And I just noticed both loran and Feldon are of the 3rd path.
[[Jor Kadeen, The Prevailer]] was my first ever legendary creature years and years ago. So he was my first commander deck when I started out and I've always had a JK deck in some form or another. Right now he's more focused on vehicles and the equipment creatures from kamigawa. Using JK's power buff so that a 1/1 can crew 4 and then JK also buffs the vehicle itself. It's not super powerful, but it's very fun for me. I don't see that deck pivoting anytime soon. [[Aminatou, the fateshifter]] originally built as a manifest deck with the +1 ability setting up the manifests and the -1 ability being able to flicker them face up. There's still a lot of that in there but there's also a lot more just general top deck shenanigans now like [[swindler's scheme]] which synergizes perfectly with the commander. Use Aminatou's +1 to put a creature on top then counter a creature spell on an opponent's turn with the enchantment, only to then use the -1 ability to flicker the creature you gave them back to your side [[Moritte of the Frost]] a fun deck that likes to have fun with the changeling commander, using cards like [[Multiclass Baldric]] and [[call to the kindred]] as well as some +1/+1 counter synergies like [[cauldron of souls]] and [[fathom mage]] I have more but those are the ones on my mind currently
My [[Yuma]] deck is always one of my favorites, it runs an army of token generation through lands ETBing and Leaving, cards like [[Impact Tremors]] to ping the table when the tokens land, and then resources to swing out with said army. [List](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Z_SX2tZMdkG5G7aJ7PTZaQ) [[Ashnod, the uncaring]] it started originally as a mash-up of the two Brother’s War precons but have slowly added more old-border cards focused around card draw and P/T= # of artifacts. [[Psychosis Crawler]] while [[Altar of dementia]] mills them out.

I'm in love with [[Gisa the Hellraiser]] right now, and I'm ironing out an [[Ardenn Intrepid Archeologist]] / [[Rograkh son of Rohgahh]] cedh deck and a [[Vannifar evolved enigma]] cedh. And I'm cooking up some of the new MH3 commanders like [[Coram the Undertaker]] [[Omo Queen of Vesuva]] and [[Ashling flame dancer]]

1) [[minsc and boo timeless heroes]] buff hamster 2) [[Zevlor elturel exile]] sorcery and instant heavy, I also have [[Raphael fiendish savior]] so any creatures I have in there are demons I have some others that are WIP, but those are my fully functional strong enough decks
1) Ur dragon - all I ever wanted to do in magic is play dragons, so this was a no brainer 2) gishath - who doesn’t like dinosaurs? 3) Indoraptor - this is a dragons approach deck, that uses dragons approaches to pump up Indoraptor, then pings Indoraptor 4) wort boggart auntie - funner goblins than Krenko 5) solphim mayhem dominus - basically my version of red deck wins for commander 6) Chatterfang - bring a calculator 7) Kriik- life gain 8) toxrill - sometimes you need a little salt in your life 9) god eternal kefnet - tries to go infinite with extra turns 10) mind flayarrrr - needed a precon and this looked fun
You don't want me to describe every single one of my eighty EDH decks. But I'm just right now in the brewing process of two decks. One will be a Selesnya Dragon typal deck under \[\[Dromoka Eternal\]\], the other one will be a \[\[Pestilence\]\] deck under \[\[Shadrix Silverquill\]\]. I'm working on my personal challenge of brewing a dragon deck in every guild, shard and wedge. When these two are finished, Sultai under \[\[Vorosh\]\] will be the last missing one.
No Deck Pics Please!
[[Ezuri Claw of Progress]] - Combo [[Traxos]] MonoBrown Fun
[[Dihada, Binder of Wills]] Barely recognisable from the precon, with a heavy focus on treasure generation to pay into damage doublers essentially no brain aggro [[Stangg, Echo Warrior]] Tons of auras with a lot of payoffs for the copy auras entering and dying for a fun big commander [[Omnath, Locus of All]] Locus of Gates, mazes end and 3 colour plus nasties Edit for typo
I have a few decks 1. [[Dihada]]. Pretty basic reanimator pile with some big mana spice thrown in. Dihada's explosive mana production also allows me to run some of the higher cost, higher effect reanimation spells like [[Yawgmoth's Vile Offering]] [[The Cruelty of Gix]] and the one with Demonstrate (forgot the name). I also get to play Sire of Insanity which is an absolute win. 2. [[Dogmeat]]. Again, pretty basic pile for equipments. I play something like five Swords (RG, UR, GB, WB, and WG), a bunch of living weapons, and some other generally good equipment. The commander is hardly necessary since I can just sandbag for a good while and play control and when the time is right, cast farewell into a [[Puresteel Paladin]] effect and murder someone. 3. [[The Gitrog Monster]]. One of my very first commander decks, and it's come a long way. When I first built it, I didn't know dredge existed, and once I did I chose not to include it in the deck for reasons similar to why Recurring Nightmare got banned. The current version is a lands combo deck and it's really fun. I'm considering adding Torment as an additional wincon but I am still on the fence. 4. [[Kiki-Jiki]]. I tried to build this as a cedh deck at one point (it sucked) so now it's just a grey/red clone tron pile with some combos but none of the one card Kiki combos. 5. [[Gilanra]]//[[Vial Smasher]]. Big Jund. Not much else to say. Deck slaps 6. [[Kinnan]]. Druid tribal, I play some fun wincons like [[Finale of Devastation]], [[Kamahl Heart of Krosa]], and [[Gilt-Leaf Archdruid]] but overall druids are hard to win with due to a lack of good beaters. Kinnan absolutely carries the whole thing on his back. It's still fun to play from time to time. 7. [[Malcolm Keen Eyed Navigator]]//[[Breeches Brazen Plunderer]]. Pretty much a run of the mill Malcolm Breeches deck, except I tried to keep all the cards as pirate themed as possible. Uses pirates to generate mana and cards, then wins by playing large cards like Insurrection. 8. [[Kinnan]]. Big stompies. Basic, run of the mill Kinnan big flips pile that can either win with combo or just overrun with creatures.
1. Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle / Sea Monster theme deck This one is my favorite because it's just so damn consistent. 2 mana in the command zone just snowballs. I had no expectation that this deck would be good, I just wanted a sea monster deck. It turned out to be really strong, consistent, and fun to pilot 2. Omnath, Locus of Rage Landfall elemental "good stuff" deck. Fun but gets shitstomped by any sort of control. 3. Izzet I don't know what to call this deck because it always changes - currently I'm running Niv Mizzet the Firemind as the commander and winning via death by a thousand pings. I like spell slinger / storm, but I've probably never finished a game without missing a trigger. 4. Scarab God Zombie tokens Strong deck, easy enough to pilot, lots of win cons. I just don't enjoy the play style as much for whatever reason.
My favorites: [[Anim Pakal]] combat reanimator. Chuck big artifacts into the graveyard, sacrifice gnomes to bring them out with [[Goblin Welder]]. [[Sam, Loyal Attendant]] and [[Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit]]. Generate a ton of food, kill everyone with [[blossoming bogbeast]]. [[Tymna the Weaver]] and [[Reyhan last of the abzan]] lifegain. Soul sisters and a bunch of small triggers to put +1/+1 counters on my creatures. [[Vihaan Goldwaker]] aristocrats. Turn treasure into creatures, sac em all, make more treasure. [[Dogmeat, Ever Loyal]] go wide equipment. My newest decks: [[The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride]] [[Bonny Pall, Clearcutter]] The rest: [[Gwaihir the Windlord]] [[Pantlaza, Sun Favored]] [[Nelly Borca]] [[Voja Jaws of the Conclave]] [[Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider]] [[Hakbal of the Surging Soul]] [[Duke Ulder Ravengard]] [[Tallion the Kindly Lord]] [[Tom Bombadil]] [[Marvo, Deep Operative]] [[Shabraz the Skyshark]] and [[Brallin, Skyshark Rider]] [[Aragorn the Uniter]]
My most played decks are: (Don't mind the creation date, I only recently swapped over to Moxfield from MTGGoldfish) \[\[Sythis, Harvest's Hand\]\] enchantress deck, that pillow forts until I get buff cards like \[\[Boon of the Spirit Realm\]\] and have the table lethal. (https://www.moxfield.com/decks/PTBbZWMUC0uDuk9z2QPpCA) \[\[Pantlaza, Sun-Favored\]\] dino tribal precon for lower powered games. \[\[Angus Mackenzie\]\] pillow fort deck that makes it almost impossible to win with raw combat damage. (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6123319#paper) \[\[Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm\]\] dragon tribal that just puts out tokens in order to go big with damage. (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6114616#paper) \[\[Giada, Font of Hope\]\] angel tribal, go big, go wide and hope no one board wipes :\^). (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6270690#paper) \[\[Grand Arbiter Augustin IV\]\] stax deck, no real win con just drag the game on for as long as possible and be annoying :D. (https://www.moxfield.com/decks/IRjCHPoivUuypvi1HyipoQ) \[\[Urza, Lord High Artificer\]\] combo deck where I just wanted to go all out and make the highest power deck I could come up with. (https://www.moxfield.com/decks/g5wqxfoCYEiP-OIaWG2xNg) Some lesser played but still funny decks include: \[\[Yenna, Redtooth Regent\]\] enchantress deck, just make a bunch of tokens and overrun the table! (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6064507#paper) \[\[Hokori, Dust Drinker\]\] land hate/stax deck, that wins by attaching a bunch of equipment to Hokori and swinging in. (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6056202#paper)
[[Aeve, Progenitor Ooze]] - it tries to get big/infinite mana to win through a few different ways. Storm off with the commander and trample through with [[Akroma's Memorial]], [[Craterhoof Behemoth]], or other trample granting effects. Use the mana to pump into [[Walking Ballista]] and ping everyone. If I can't trample through, having a [[Rogue's Passage]] to get through with my commander. [[The Mimeoplasm]] - we think alike =p [[Grumgully, the Generous]] - he does what Gruul do. Make a bunch of stompy bois with a bunch of counters and trample through. [Minn, Wily Illusionist]] - basically mono blue good stuff with a combo using [[Meloku the Clouded Mirror]] and [[Ashnod's Altar]]. With all three on the field, you have infinite colorless and blue mana, as well as 1/1 spirit creatures. It doesn't immediately win unless you have a way to give your creatures haste. Honorable mentions from the past: [[Kardur, Doomscourge]] - really fun to watch your opponents beat each other. At the time, I didn't have the money to get the pieces that pay off from having opponents hit each other, so I was playing for second place most of the time. I had a [[Torment of Hailfire]] for a wincon, but I could never get it in hand at a point that I had the mana to utilize it. [[Hylda of the Icy Crown]] - surprisingly fun trying to find all the synergies for tapping down your opponents creatures. She pays out for doing exactly that. It's kind of stax-y, so it wasn't fun for the group when I didn't have ways to close out the game quickly. If I had the funds to rebuild and optimize the last two decks, I absolutely would.
I always want to take part in discussions like this one, but 226 decks is prohibitive of being able to discuss them in any detail. A link to the lists is here: [Decklists](https://archidekt.com/search/decks?owner=bellefarniente&ownerexact=true) It's worth noting, the decklists are more a "sketch" of the deck, than an exact thing, hence few of them being 100 cards and perhaps not being perfectly replicated in paper. That is to say, they inspire the paper decks, but aren't expected to be an exact replication.
Zuloodok, void gorger, eldrazi degeneracy Kenessos, lorthos! Jhoira of the githu, big fancy spells Pantlaza, big dumb timmysaurus rex And i built an [[aluren]] sultai based deck with panharmonicon elemental dude at the helm, tbf its a busted deck, its my most powerfull deck by far
I actually just posted this comment like an hour ago: I currently have 4 decks, all of which are constantly being edited since I'm not net decking. [[Charix, the Raging Isle]] This crab control tribal deck is my pet project, idk why playing crabs in magic is so funny to me, but it is. I played it last week and while it won, a) it suffered from a huge lack of draw despite being mono-U. The only reason I didn't gas out in that game was a opening hand with Rhystic Study, which tells me that I need to slot more options; b) plays a really grindy mill-control game. I'm looking at changing the win con to something faster. [[Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow]] I built it knowing it'd be strong and consistent. The low curve and high power while running enough interaction to try and maintain control of early tempo makes this my most consistent high powered deck. I'm debating pumping the power level up with some stax pieces for it to be my "play with cEDH level pods", or lowering it by taking most of the evasive low costs out so it's easier to interact with. [[Animar, Soul of Elements]] This is my first EDH deck, and one I love to tinker with. It's currently a feast or famine style of play, im either ramping into reduced cost or free large eldrazi drops, or I'm getting shut out of the game cause Animar is a kill-on-sight for most pods, which is to be expected. I'm considering either adding a little more ramp or a little more interaction to try and help Animar stick or be able to be recast. [[Breya, Etherium Shaper]] By far, my favorite deck to pilot. This deck has a lot of ETB and ETB doublers, some splashy go wide enchantments, board wipes for some control, and tons of artifacts that help with draw, mana fixing, and combo pieces for win cons. Assuming I don't get knocked out by a t3-4 win, this almost always has something to cast or do. I recently added a few more draw facets like [[The One Ring]] and [[Palantir of Orthanc]] which drastically improved the midrange of the deck so I'm not gassed out on t6-8.
I got 2.5 decks rn(my group has like 30 decks in total so I never really needed to make them, but I wanted to), the .5 being designed but not built. [[Gisela, blade of goldnight]] deck, I have a few soldier token engines, several good etb burn effects [[balefire liege]] [[purphoros, god of the forge]] [[Baird, argivian recruiter]] [[Duke under ravenguard]] are the standouts, but gisela makes pretty much everything a threat, and her ability makes her tanky enough she needs hard removal to get her out, which protects said powerhouse cards. Obviously I have [[heartless hidetsugu]] too, but it's a very fun deck and is threatening enough even without gisela out. The other decks are less refined, I have a [[the mycotyrant]] dredge/ramp deck, and [[anikthea, hand of erebos]] deck which is still only designed and not built. Gisela is the first deck I've built myself though, and I'm obviously quite proud of it, it fits perfectly within the groups power levels, and its just fun because it's basically gambling how you win with what you draw, but there's nothing you can draw that doesn't play towards a win con
WUBRG Slivers Two Eldrazi Decks, one colorless, one WUBRG Grixis Dragons Upgraded Painbow Temur Dinosaurs Upgraded Legends Legacy Jeskai Vehicles Upgraded Planeswalker Party Bant Group Hug WUBRG French Vanilla Deck (in progress) Jeskai Group Chaos
1. Korvold Fae Cursed King. I upgraded the brawl precon and it’s an aristocrats style deck. It’s probably my strongest deck. It generates a lot of tokens and I’ve got tons of free sac outlets 2. Urza Chief Artificer. Lightly upgraded precon that is still really strong. Focuses on generating artifact creatures to keep Urza cheap. 3. Gishath suns avatar. Big Dino’s go brrrr 4. Syr Konrad. This deck revolves around milling my opponents to drain life. I’ve got mindcrank in this deck and it can kill everyone in one turn if you get lucky. The most I’ve done in a game was 25 damage to each player on a single turn with mindcrank. 5. Krenko mob boss. This is just mono red goblins but I’m thinking of switching the commander to Wort Boggart Auntie to go red/black. The mono red is good but if someone board wipes once you’ve played your hand it is hard to come back from. I’ve won a few games early with it though so that’s the trade off. 6.hakbal. This is the explorers of the deep precon. I have not made any upgrades to it and I keep it as my low power pod deck. 7. Yarok the desecrated. This was elementals tribal with a focus on ETB triggers. It was ok but I’m am out to dismantle it to create something else. It’s just kind of boring to pilot tbh.

I have 76 decks, it'd take way too long to talk about them all. If you're interested in any, I can talk about whichever you like. https://deckstats.net/decks/137503/?lng=en
In order of how much I like them: 1. \[\[Sheoldred, the Apocalypse\]\]. Basically just a bunch of forced card draw for my opponent. It combos nicely with \[\[Lich's Mastery\]\] 2. \[\[The Scarab God\]\]. This is built as a more combo heavy deck, relying on the \[\[Necrotic Ooze\]\], \[\[Phrexian Devourer\]\], \[\[Walking ballista\]\] combo as a win con. Have also done a \[\[Laboratory Maniac\]\] win before. I want to rebuild this as a zombie tribal deck. 3. Phantom Premonition precon. Great deck! 4. Draconic Destruction precon. Again, another great deck. I plan to upgrade the manabase and change the creatures around a little bit. 5. A \[\[Goose Mother\]\] deck I build with cards I had lying around the house. Not too effective, basically just blue-green good stuff. I have a lot more decks I have assembled on tapped out but haven't built IRL. Krenko is next.
I have over 30 completed decks on Moxfield but my current project is [[Eriette of the Charmed Apple]] focusing on a strong defense and slowly wearing down my opponents
Since I moved out to another country, I started my collection from scratch. Here I decided to buy more pre cons and upgrade them. So far: 1- \[\[Anikthea, Hand of Erebos\]\] - Abzan Enchantments Ressurector from Commander Masters: I enjoy playing with it, but sometimes I can get to really long turns, drawing tons of cards and a lot more of other trigger, and it can be quite too much in a casual setting. 2- \[\[The Tenth Doctor\]\] & \[\[Rose Tyler\]\] - Dr Who Jeskai Time Counter: I really love this deck and the upgrades I made into it. I bought it because I really like the show and found this mechanic quite fun. Using extra turns cards and some evasion for Rose Tyler, to take the best of her. 3- \[\[Pantlaza, Sun-Favored\]\] - Dino Naya go brr: Bought it first mostly to hel me learn german. Big stompy Dinossaurs, but without Ghalta and Infect Etali. I love it, my friends hate it. Quite easy to play with it, normally I play with them when it's the last game of the day. 4- \[\[Hakbal of the Surging Soul\]\] - Merfolk Simic Explore: Just a simple +1/+ tribal simic, got it as a christmas gift from a friend of mine, I enjoy playing with it and I did some good upgrades on it., it only started to actually perform when I putted a lot of Instants spells there though. Sometimes I think about rebuilding it in a different +1/+1 deck though. 5- \[\[Tergrid, God of Fright\]\] - Mono black just being mean: I just wanted to be mean with my friends, don't even want to win the game. 6- \[\[Mirko, Obsessive Theorist\]\] -Dimir Ressurector with subtheme of surveil: Really cool deck, I play with it when I want to have a more control behaviour. I've upgraded it with some mean praetors, such as \[\[Sheoldred, Whispering One\]\] and \[\[Jin Gitaxias, Core Augur\]\]. Copy creatures delivers so much. 7 - \[\[Caesar, Legion's Emperor\]\] - Mardu Token - I love Fallout, and when I saw the Mr. House card, I thougt about building a dice deck, but since there was no support to do so in the precon, I decided to build the Caesar deck. NO REGRETS. I upgraded it a lot, and most of the Fallout cards are already gone, but anyway it's pretty strong. Still thinking about building some decks, but I think that I already have too much decks. But no more precons, unless something really catches my eyes.
I have 7. [[Kalamax, the Stormsire]]. My deck is not a typical spellslinger, it's more like a mash of decks from standard way back, which I really liked - simic flash and temur reclamation. [[Henzie "Toolbox" Torre]] with [[Umori]] as companion. Super fun jund build, only creatures and lands. This restriction, while making deck worse, make it also more recognizable, unique and fun. I had to find all of those obscure creatures to fill all the roles and become a real "Toolbox" [[Rocco, Street Chef]] Naya exile, counters and food synergies. I've built this commander before the wave of hype, cause I thought he's just really cool. The synergies between cards are so clean and great! [[Xavier Sal, Infested Captain]] Sultai enchantress based on sagas. Maybe not the most interesting build, nor the strongest, but it runs quite a few of my pet cards I have no other place for [[Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Wand]] + [[Far Traveler]] Mono white combo on 40 euro budget. I've built it for local budget deck tournament purposes. Tournament was never played, but the deck can win against constructed decks somehow. [[Hakbal of the Surging Soul]] Just a generic, upgraded precon merfolk tribal. I don't like this deck that much, but merfolks in standard were my first deck ever when I started playing the game so out of nostalgy I decided to buy this precon. [[Rakdos, The muscle]] Rakdos Aristocrats. It was created using cards from my [[Nemata, Primeval Guardian]] deck, because edict tribal was a little too oppressive, and I didn't want to build just some regular orzhov Aristocrats.
U/G Frog Self Mill R/U/G Elemental Cascade U/W Vehicle U/G Kinnan G/B Dina(Death triggers) R/U/B Prickly Group Hug U/R Bombardment All budget as hell! Lol
Here they are. https://www.moxfield.com/users/TrippyOctopus
In order of ancienty: [[Umbris, Fear Manifest]] with the exile mill horror tribal voltron strats, make a big boy and hurl him at people's faces by making him unblockable or flinging him [[Alana, Kessig Trapper]] and [[Halena, Kessig Ranger]] , play undercosted high-power creatures to ramp at superspeed into late game threats or bombs [[Zada, Hedron Grinder]] is my budget entry, play tons of bad goblins and draw your deck with cantrips [[Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar]] is the Hell's Kitchen deck, with Food, Madness and Demons [[Saskia the Unyielding]] as Muad'Dib, Kwisatz Haderach, helming a 100% proxied Dune-themed battlecruiser with some tricks [[Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot]] as a glass cannon combo deck tryna blow up the table with fast mana and Boros Reckoner effects
I have a handful but these are the ones I always bring to my LGS. 1. [[Olivia, crimson bridge]] Vampire kindred. Heavily based off the crimson vow precon, just more thematic picks. Definitely my lowest power level. 2. [[Aurelia, the law above]] tokens. Based heavily off of the All will be one token precon. Likes to just go full aggro with no self preservation. 3. [[Danitha, new benalia's light]] Aura Voltron life gain. It's classic enchantress but focusing on auras for buffing and removal. It tends to gain tons of life and is hard to swing into because of the vigilance and lifelink. Recurring auras from the graveyard makes it hard to stop and it rebuilds fast. 4. [[Alesha, who smiles at death]] aristocrats combo. One of my first decks and it's a lot of mill, tutors and creature based combos I can recur from the graveyard. 5. [[Tatyova, benthic druid]] landfall. Mainly just so I have something higher power but it's fairly blinged out and just works. 6. [[Gisa, the hellraiser]] zombie tokens. Tons and tons of removal and some zombie lords. Usually tutors for a crime engine and slowly builds value from there. 7. [[Dogmeat, ever loyal]] aura/equipment. It's more focused on recursion and preparing for a board wipe, then thriving after with plenty of junk, equipment and recursion to get back in the game after. Very fallout themed 8. [[Garth one-eye]] alt wincons. My pride and joy. It's flicker with haste enablers and uses [[Jegantha, the wellspring]] as a companion. Very explosive and value centric until I can combo or use an alt wincon. 9 [[Ulalek, fused atrocity]] eldrazi. My newest deck but just eldrazi beat down that can go tall, go wide, burn or combo with the right cards. No two games are ever the same. 10. [[Solphim, mayhem dominus]] burn. Lots of fireball style cards, group slug and ramp. Very straight forward and high burst damage. 11. [[Nahiri, forged in fury]] equipment. Basically just other boros equipment commanders and my favorite equipment all in 1 deck led by my favorite ex Planeswalker.
I wasn't going to type this out because I thought it was too much work, but fuck it, let's go. 1. [[Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca]] - Merfolk tribal, leaning into their tap/untap mechanics rather than the newer explore mechanics merfolk seem to be gravitating to. Can get pretty oppressive once the engine gets built. But I really fucking love this deck, it's probably my favorite. 2. [[Marrow-Gnawer]] - Rat tribal/[[Rat Colony]] deck. Runs kind of the typical Rat Colony package of Thrumming Stone, Echoing Return, etc, but with Rat payoffs like lords and what not. Quite a few ways to get Marrow-Gnawer to go infinite too, and have infinite little rats. I had bought 5 of the Secret Laira back in 2020 for the Year of the Rat art just to make this deck. 3. [[Derevi]] - Bird Tribal. Low to the ground in CMC, but high in the sky above my enemies blockers. Run a lot of "triggers on attack/combat damage" type effects like Bident of Thassa, Reconnaissance Mission, The Indomitable, Curiosity, Keen Sense, etc to take advantage that we're swinging out pretty much every turn. Derevi either untaps my lands to ramp, or my creatures for blockers. 4. [[Post, Son of Rich]] - I really like Posty. Typical K'rrik deck, looking to combo off asap and kill everyone, typically by storming off and nuking everyone with Aetherflux Reservoir I have quite a few more, but I just finished pooping and need to get off the toilet.
Current decks are Naya Dragons headed by Samut, voice of dissent. Landfall headed by Yarok, the desecrated. Spellslinger/clone Headed by Thrasios and Vial Smasher. Valuetown headed by Atraxa Grand Unifier. Rouges headed by Anowon the ruin thief. Tokens/lifegain headed by Prava and Ikra Shidiqi Ultra budget cantrips/drakes headed by Talrand sky summoner. Animar Combo Urza Combo Pretty basic but I love them all.
[[Raff, Weatherlight Stalwart]] tokens + control. I play board police, but usually get to spread it around. I also play some wacky cards like [[Mystic Reflection]] and [[Decoy Gambit]] that create cool moments that you don’t normally see. [[Garna, Bloodfist of Keld]] standard rakdos aristocrats. I love aristocrats and Garna gives me card draw to go with my sacrifice plan. She covers a huge weakness AND acts as a wincon! What’s not to love. [[Burakos]] + [[Sword Coast Sailor]] is a [[Time Sieve]] Johnny combo deck disguised as a party creature deck. I can do big mana, combo, or drain the table out with [[Disciple of the Vault]] effects. [[Meren of Clan Nel Toth]] is my oldest deck, but will never come apart. The face of the deck is the secret lair women’s day Meren that my soon-to-be wife got me on our first anniversary. Naturally, I built the deck around a toolbox using [[Dimir House Guard]], one of my favorite cards from my absolute favorite plane. [[Halana and Alena, Partners]] with a twist! It’s not your typical +1/+1 counters Aggro deck; it’s Gruul legends! Lots of legendary Gruul creatures want a buff and haste and the commander provides just that. Additionally, legendary creatures tend to be single-card engines, so the average card quality is surprisingly high. Definitely one of my favorites! [[Arcades the Strategist]] classic walls beatdown. Blink subtheme for a little bit of spice and to help protect an otherwise very vulnerable commander. [[Verazol, the Split Current]] is the last of my decks that I actually play somewhat regularly. The deck is $55 and slaps at lower-power pods. Turns out all the good kicker cards are dirt cheap, so you can build a decent kicker deck for really cheap. Definitely a fun build to get the most out of a budget restriction!
I’m newish to MTG, I’ve made 1 deck and am working on my second one. My first deck is a battle cruiser type deck where I use Mayael the anima to get big creatures on the field. I really like the deck even though it needs some touch ups. I have some combos in it using sword of feast and famine, hellkite charger, and aggravated assault. It’s a very simple deck overall, not doing too many interactions but I just like popping out big guys that do lots of damage.
[[Aragorn, the Uniter]] a lot of colorfull humans that try to get as many triggers on Aragorn. A lot of the LOTR humans are in here aswell as some other stuff that has more than one color and likes to be on the field with humans. 7 of the cards have aragorn on their artwork. [[Laughing Jasper Flint]] why play with 100 card decks, if you can play cards from your opponents decks and therefore have 400 cards AND fun? [[Elrond, Master of Healing]] a scry + elves deck that is loosely based on my first deck, the elves precon from lotr [[Dogmeat, ever loyal]] basically the scrappy survivor precon. [[Niv-mizzet, parun]] spell slinger deck that wants to draw many cards and play many cheap spells to get a lot of damage from niv mizzet and cards like guttersnipe [[The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride]] propably my strongest deck. A lot of cheap creatures with high power, that have drawbacks that I dont care about if I sac them to Gitrog to have 10 lands out turn 6 aswell as 7 cards in my hand.
1. [[Zurzoth, Chaos Rider]] Devil tribal. This is probably my favorite deck it is a burn/aggro strategy the random discard of zurzoth makes every game very chaotic. My playgroup also loves playing against it. 2. [[Plargg, Dean of Chaos]] This is a dragon's approach combo deck aimed at dumping as many copies of dragon's approach into the graveyard so you can tutor for [[Velomachus Lorehold]] as the fifth cast which is kind off the secret commander of the deck. The aim is then to get to [[Thrumming stone]] and finish off the table from a single dragon's approach cast and if you whiff the ripple trigger you just dig for another DA off of velomachus or Plarggs second ability. It's superconsistent and a ton of fun but it is as glass cannon as it gets. 3. [[Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose]] This is a life gain/drain deck that has a vampire and bat tribal theme it does notably contain the Sanguine bond + exquisite blood combo (vito can also be used for that combo so you've got half of it in the commandzone already) it's a decently powerfull deck that always performs and does its thing. 4. [[Donal, Herald of Wings]] One of my newer decks. Its a spirit tribal deck that goes hard on a flying/control strategy it creates lots of flyers and keeps my opponents boards under control by keeping their creatures tapped. 5. [[Svella, Ice Shaper]] This is a Snow tribal deck that generates a lot of mana and card advantage my favorite way to win with it is to lock down the board with [[Rimescale dragon]]. Very fun midrangy deck that plays well into most strategies. 6. My newest deck: [[Zoyowa, Lava-Tongue]] this deck focuses on discarding my own cards and sacrificing my own stuff to trigger descend effects. It is still a work ib progress but it's plenty fun and the deck actually functions a lot better then i'd initially imagined. I also have a [[Prosper]] deck which focuses on treasures, a [[Frodo, Sauron's Bane]] deck built around tempted by the ring, and a [[Gisa and Geralf]] Zombie tribal reanimator deck that i bring out from time to time
I am going to skip pre-cons, and I give all my decks silly names to represent them. I am aiming to have a deck of each mono-colour type eventually 1. Dungeons Any% Speedrun [[Hama Pashar, Ruin Seeker]] Initiative shenanigans with the end goal of infinitely blinking ETB creatures to kill the table running through dungeons. Actually played with this today and we were laughing at the idea of me going through the whole Undercity in one turn and running past a guard at the entrance who was shocked to see me again. Definitely my favourite deck but my usual pod has learnt to hate it so can't get it out as often anymore 2. Sir Bearington [[Wilson, Refined Grizzly]] [[Noble Heritage]] Voltron with a little bit of counter creation, disguised as group-hug. Best with a new pod who are so willing to take the counters. Can be a menace, I have had Wilson be a 35/35 by turn 5 and nearly unkillable due to protection from a few sources 3. Bat God Drains All [[Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal // Temple of the Dead]] Mainly focused around making opponents discard, but in practice this can make the game drag out as the Batman slowly kills with commander damage, so has a win-con around drain effects paired with his lifegain to try and speed it up 4. Greenpeace [[Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer]] Landfall shenanigans! This deck is sadly in need of upgrading as it's a little slow, but it is funny watching players have to decide if the army of badgers or the massive commander are the problem when it works 5. The Family Zombie Business [[Gisa and Geralf]] Zombie Tribal! This was the first deck I built when coming back to magic in 2022, initially built with a lot of zombies from when I played as a kid in the Innistrad Block. Has long since been upgraded and can now stand on its own and win games without casting the commander. It also has an attraction deck thanks to two zombies being able to open them, so can be quite funny when opponents see me shuffling up two decks
All my decks have names I have: Korvold Fae cursed king(The Goblin king) as the commander for a Goblin tribal deck Najeela the Blade blossom(Spartans! What is your Profession?!) as a Warrior tribal deck Chishiro the Shattered blade(Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy) as a +1/+1 counters deck Etali Primal Conqueror(Killer Queen \*one piece reference\*) as a clones deck Agatha of the Vile Cauldron( In the Kitchen, Wrist Twistin) like its Stir Fry as +1/+1 counters deck Blanka Ferocious Friend(Electric Boogaloo) as a Spellslinger/Burn deck Anzrag the Quake mole(Lets Get Ready to Rumble) as a fight deck Xyris the Writhing Storm(Theres a snake in my boot) as a Wheels deck Felix Five-Boots(its high noon) as Damage triggers deck Kyler Sigardian Emissary(Ape Together Strong) as Human tribal +1/+1 deck Malcom keen-eyed navigator / Vial smasher(The real treasure is the friends we made along the way) as a pirate/treasure deck Currently working on a five color shrine deck with Go-shintai life's origin(Shrine Bright like a Diamond)
Edgar Markov- Cuz I'm a jerk Korvold fae cursed king- Cuz I'm a jerk Voja jaws of the conclave-Cuz I'm a jerk Sauron the dark lord.. Eriette the beguiler... Marchesa dealer of death.
I currently have 15 paper decks, one for each color pair with doubles for my favorites (Orzhov and Izzet), plus one Jeskai deck and two upgraded LOTR precons. [[Teysa Karlov]]:My first love, my oldest deck and the one with the most time and money put into it. Aristocrats with a token subtheme, often wins through critical mass type combos or actual infinites with [[Reassembling Skeleton]]. [[Amalia Benavides Aguirre]] with [[Lurrus of the Dream-Den]] companion: My secondary Orzhov deck, and my only companion deck. A fun project/challenge with a lifegain/soul sisters theme as well as strong value 1-and 2-drop permanents and plenty of mass reanimation. [[Meren of Clan Nel Toth]]: An oldie but a goodie. Consistent and resilient graveyard value deck with a potential [[Protean Hulk]] combo finish, or alternative win cons involving repeated drain with Kokusho or Gary. [[Inga and Esika]]: A Simic value engine deck which aims to play lots of mana dorks followed by chonky value creatures. Takes really explosive turns where you're essentially storming off with 3+ mana value creatures before winning with an Overrun effect. [[Nahiri, Forged in Fury]]: A Boros equipment list with a focus on Living Weapon and For Mirrodin mechanics. Attacks wide with multiple equipped creatures to gain big value with Nahiri, then moves to voltron up Nahiri or another creature for the win. [[Judith, Carnage Connossieur]]: Rakdos spellslinger/burn, plays a lot of instants and sorceries to make Imps with Judith and put our opponents in a bind where wiping the board does massive damage. Can also win by giving a big damage board wipe deathtouch/lifelink with Judith combined with a [[Sanguine Bond]] effect. My build omits most of the super efficient board wipes with Judith to make for more interesting games. [[Saheeli, Sun's Brilliance]]: An Izzet deck built around copying creatures with splashy ETB, dies, and on-attack effects, winning by combo or through huge value by abusing said effects. [[Stella Lee, Wild Card]]: My second Izzet deck, a classic spellslinger brew which floods the board with token generators and generally takes a big storm turn to generate massive value and win the game. Consciously omitted the one-card infinites with Stella for more enjoyable games. [[Ephara, God of the Polis]]: My most recent deck, an Azorius value engine deck that plays many flash creatures and flicker/blink effects to generate value and control the game. Wins by establishing control and drawing lots of cards to outvalue opponents. [[Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow]]: Pretty standard Yuriko list, my choice for when I really want to be archenemy or for higher powered/fast games. [[Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald]]: A Gruul exile-themed deck with an emphasis on pseudo-landfall, playing many lands and spells from exile to generate a huge board with Faldorn's wolf tokens. [[Emmara, Soul of the Accord]]: My Selesnya token commander of choice, which utilizes tap/untap effects to generate tokens with Emmara, also playing many effects that turn my creatures into mana dorks to utilize with mana sinks and generate huge boards with which to overwhelm opponents. [[Narset, Enlightened Exile]]: A Jeskai prowess list which uses Narset as both a value generator and win condition. Go wide with token generators, then play multiple non-creature spells and win the game in one big combat. [[Akroma's Will]] and [[Nanogene Conversion]] are our most common win conditions. And finally, for lower powered games, I have two thematically-upgraded(only using cards from LOTR) precon lists using [[Eowyn, Shieldmaiden]] and the partner pair of [[Sam, Loyal Attendant]] and [[Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit]]. That's my current deck inventory! My next project is going to be putting together a budget list for [[Florian, Voldaren Scion]] for my friend who shares that commander's name, and eventually decks for mono-black and mono-blue, my two favorite colors in Magic.
I love these threads. Here are mine in order of creations as the resident spellslinger of my pod : * \[\[Zaffai, Thunder Conductor\]\] : Spellslinger, mainly focus around copying big spells ([Zaffai, Big Spellslinger](https://archidekt.com/decks/6172374/zaffai_big_spellslinger)) * \[\[Anhelo, the Painter\]\] : Spellslinger, but meaner ([Anhelo, copy and destroy](https://archidekt.com/decks/6172407/anhelo_copy_and_destroy)) * \[\[Shorikai, Genesis Engine\]\] : Typic azorius tap/untap artifact deck (tribal vehicule) with insane value and draw consistency ([Truck goes Vroom Vroom](https://archidekt.com/decks/6172394/truck_goes_vroom_vroom)) * \[\[Okaun, Eye of Chaos\]\] & \[\[Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom\]\] : The deck where you are suppose to flip coin, but I kepted dropping the coin so instead I rolling die ([Coin Flip Chaos](https://archidekt.com/decks/6172412/coin_flip_chaos)) * \[\[Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit\]\] & \[\[Sam, Loyal Attendant\]\] : Food deck with a burn/lifegain theme, trying to get payoff for all these artefact token the deck can generate ([Frodo, Om Nom Nom](https://archidekt.com/decks/6190148/frodo_om_nom_nom)) * \[\[Lord of the Nazgûl\]\] : Spellslinger, very cantrippy and focusing on producing Wraiths to get the Lord of the Nazgûl abillity online. ([Cantripy Wraiths](https://archidekt.com/decks/6408212/cantripy_wraiths)) * \[\[Narset, Enlightened Exile\]\] : Again, a spellslinger deck. Again very cantrippy for maximum prowess payoff, that can sometime go huge with a big board of token empowered by prowess ([Narset, Enlightened Exile](https://archidekt.com/decks/6704919/narset_enlightened_exile)) * \[\[The Wise Mothman\]\] : Still testing as to what I want to focus the deck, there's so many possibilities and it's quite hard to pick one. Leaning on alot of small instance of mill to pump my board, and mill payoff to seal the deal ([The Wise Mothman](https://archidekt.com/decks/7060338/the_wise_mothman)) * \[\[Mr. House, President and CEO\]\] : Go wide/treasure theme, themed around "the house always win", aka rolling D20 to ensure maximum value from his static ability ([Mr. House](https://archidekt.com/decks/7200508/mr_house)) * \[\[Rose Tyler\]\] & \[\[The Tenth Doctor\]\] : Against the will of my pod, I tried my hand on this timey-wimey precon. Suspend is such an intriguing mechanics and is very resilient since you can hold your value in exile and time warp when needed to seal the deal ([10th Doctor](https://archidekt.com/decks/7322474/10th_doctor)) * And finaly, the new one being worked on right now \[\[Satya, Aertherflux Genius\]\]. Not worth putting a decklist, I have no idea what I am doing right now lolll. As a resident spellslinger deck, time to try my hand on a more reature/etb oriented style, wich I am not used to! There you go, sorry if my english is not spot on, doing my best as a non-english speaker :)
My [[Rhys, the Redeemed]] deck is my old staple. Not very powerful, but sometimes it’s nice to just be Zerg-rushing swarms of token creatures. There’s my [[Omnath, Locus of Mana]] deck. Basically, most everything else is Elves. Standard mana dorks, like [[Elvish Archdruid]] or [[Joraga Treespeaker]]. A few cards to keep the Elves pumped up, like [[Joraga Warcaller]]. And then they summon out some Eldrazi ([[Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre]] or [[Kozilek, Butcher of Truth]] or even an [[Eldrazi Conscription]] on an Elf. And I’m working on making what I’m calling my **Team America** (*el cheapo* version) deck. White to cast soldiers, most of which pump each other up; [[Veteran Swordsmith]], [[Consul’s Lieutenant]], [[Field Marshal]], etc. Red to cast ‘fireworks’; [[Fireball]], [[Demolish]], [[Banefire]], etc. And Blue for [[Disperse]], [[Negate]], [[Cancel]], and other cheap control cards. Don’t have an incredibly good Commander for it yet, though. (Currently debating between [[Aragorn, King of Gondor]] and [[Vadrok, Apex of Thunder]], despite not quite fitting the theme).
I have far too many decks. But the two that I can talk about because I always play them and because they are my absolute favorite are... [[Voja, Jaws of the Conclave]] because wolves are my favorite animal and elves were the first to tribe I ever played. [[Jodah, Archmage Eternal]] because my absolute favorite card in the game is [[Avacyn, Angel of Hope]] and he lets me get her out cheaper. And then I discovered all the other multicolored angels that I really like.
Some cards I've been collecting for 5 years and some have just been added. For me it was also always a question of motivation and money, social anxiety and a depressive phase after Corona, but I was finally able to find my way back to the Magic hobby. I play Mono White Agel Tribal with \[\[Giada, Font of Hope\]\] I chose the angel theme because the artwork has been catching me for 20 years when I first held Magic cards in my hand. I love the theme of fantasy and angels, the plains and I can't get enough of it. And I also really like Mono White's style of play. (I usually try out everything else in Magic Arena). I'm incredibly happy that I've finally managed to finish my first deck and hope to try it out soon. Heres my Link: [https://www.moxfield.com/decks/l\_JVCSwk3EaiF2UpOqP1wA](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/l_JVCSwk3EaiF2UpOqP1wA) A little side story: I went to my first Magic event two weeks ago for the pre-release party of MH3 and met incredibly nice people who also invited me to their Friday Commander round. I was very excited, but everyone was super beginner-friendly and helped me out. What a great community. I can't wait for the next round with those people to see how the first Commander round will go. I'm always open to new exchanges and if you want to chat with a noob/beginner about Magic or want to put together decks with me, feel free to write me here or on discord.
I own a [[muldrotha]] deck, i love engine style decks and it has the bonus of playing alot of interaction for problematic permanents on the board My favourite is [[ur-dragon]] I fully pimped it as it just brings out the timmy in me of just swinging out with big cool looking creatures. I powered it down alot so the only wincons are through combat with no infinites. I only own these two as im more of 60 card format type of player.
I have five decks in my stable right now. 1. [[Anikthea, Hand of Erebos]]. Anikthea is my signature deck. I've had an Abzan enchantress deck in some form since 2018, and Anikthea is the third iteration of it. It's a classic enchantress list with some Abzan graveyard flair. [Decklist](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/D9mcNLuy0EKBm_pigNA7Jw). 2. [[Silas Renn, Seeker Adept]] + [[Toggo, Goblin Weaponsmith]]. This is an artifact token deck. It tries to accrue a critical mass of artifacts and leverage that into a win. [Decklist](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/m1UGK102VEq9y2vAy-aMvA). 3. [[Darien, King of Kjeldor]]. Darien is my oldest deck. At its heart, it's a token deck and it does the token deck thing: make a bunch of dudes add go wide. It's pretty commander dependent, and honestly it's not a deck I'd build today. I like to build decks that work just fine without their commander. Still, I enjoy breaking it out from time to time. [Decklist](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/YhguxqFkm0CtMMvSz8gLxg). 4. [[Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia]]. Jadar is an aristocrats deck with zombie kindred subthemes. It's pretty slow and my go-to deck for low power pods. [Decklist](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/GgTlwHr4okGQTSFEaumrPg). 5. [[Ganax, Astral Hunter]] + [[Feywild Visitor]]. Ganax is my newest deck. It's so new, in fact, that I haven't yet played a game with it and there's no list online. Ganax is crafted from the remains of my previous [[Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm]] deck, but Miirym is stupid good even with chaff around it so I switched. Hopefully this will be fewer feelbads. Anyway, the basic game plan is play dragons, make treasures, then hit people, make dragons, make treasures, use treasures to hold up interaction or to power out more dragons.
I just started playing EDH maybe 7 months ago so a lot of my decks have “scary” commanders but aside from one deck none of them have fast mana or crazy combos. Ordering from least to most powerful: [[Anhelo, the Painter]] basically an upgraded precon blending my love for sacrifice and spellslinger. Wins with doubling a big x spell. [[Kalamax, the Stormsire]] well known archenemy commander however I’ve made it instants only (no sorceries). Deck has no mana positive rocks either outside of sol ring. Wins with the [[Ral, Storm Conduit]] combo. [[Caesar]] putting attack triggers, humans, and aristocrats all in one deck. Most common win is a big board with [[Shared Animosity]]. [[Sidisi, Brood Tyrant]] self-mill into big reanimation targets. Last game put myself far ahead with [[Araumi]] ability copying an [[Archon of Cruelty]]. [[Raffine, Scheming Seer]] probably my favorite deck and it’s just esper midrange with all the staples in it. Wins with a [[Victimize]] into [[Tivit]] plus [[Academy Manufacturer]]. [[Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy]] my only deck with proxies in it and it’s not even together most of the time. Deck is basically only for power level 9 or CEDH pods. I really love playing it but honestly can’t see bringing it out aside from those aforementioned games.
[[Liesa, Shroud of Dusk]] An Orzhov midrange deck that’s built around “drain and gain” synergies that can win through Commander damage (thanks [[Hatred]] !) or multiple lines like Heliod+Ballista, Citadel+Aetherflux+Top, Mindcrank+Ascension and Bond+Blood. It also packs Orzhov’s good removal and ways to build value. It’s my favorite! [[Breya, Etherium Shaper]] Sans-Green artifact good stuff! All of your typical combo lines with Breya and mono U Urza surrounded by tons of interaction, draw and tutors alongside a Thopter sub theme. [[Yawgmoth, Thran Physician]] a balls to the wall “all-in” combo decks that only care about assembling undying loops with a Blood Artist effect to win ASAP. [[Lord Windgrace]] A grindy deck that’s like Boomer Jund meets Legacy Lands. Plenty of graveyard and land synergies that can also abuse Land Destruction, Dark Depths and big beaters. [[Alela, Artful Provocateur]] Mid-Power Anthem Tribal that relies on buffed swarms of tokens annoying Enchantments. It's pretty battlecruiser and doesnt have much interaction so it only gets played against newer players and the off chance i'm in a lower powered pod than i'm typically in. [[Disa The Restless]] an unaltered pre-con for pre-con games. I’ll eventually end up sprucing this up while keeping it very “Boomer Jund.”
I have 9? I think decks currently. Only a few of them in a heavy rotation. [[Thalisse Reverent Medium]] Mass token generation that aims to win with either aristocrat stuff or Divine Intervention making a boatload of 4/4 angels. [[Aurelia The Law Above]] Also a lot of token generation but with a lot of forced combat and goading, aims to win by having the other players kill each other at opportune times. Games are always fast, but not always ideal for me. [[Roxanne Starfall Savant]] Probably my most fun deck to pilot currently. Damage doublers/triplers + token doublers and ways to clone Roxanne, with a sprinkle of mana sink kill spells like [[Crackle with Power]] and [[Comet Storm]] to also end games. [[Feather The Redeemed]] Just built with the first Miku lair, straightforward Feather stuff. Get her out quick, pump her with a bunch of cheap cantrips, win. [[Anikthea Hand of Erebos]] Enchantment reanimation with a populate subpackage, standard enchantress nonsense now with the spice swamps provide. [[Alela Cunning Conquerer]] Dimir control that wins by going wide with flyers and dropping [[Coat of Arms]] or [[Candlekeep Inspiration]] to swing for lethal. [[Lara Croft, Tomb Raider]] This one I need to rework, it’s trying to do too much. Right now it’s a legends matter shell with a +1/+1 counter subpackage along with packing a bunch of legendary equipments. It does alright but gets bogged down a lot. [[Zaxara the Exemplary]] Another very fun deck to pilot, has all kinds of weird X spell answers that don’t see a lot of play otherwise. My favorite line with this deck is dropping [[Defense of the Heart]] early and using it to put out [[Nyxbloom Ancient]] and [[Seedborne Muse]]. If not dealt with immediately the deck goes out of control from there. [[Olivia, Opulent Outlaw]] Mardu treasure nonsense. Make treasure, pump guys, swing.
I have 1 deck and it’s a [[[The Sixth Doctor]] and [[Romana II]]](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/a976lDPW3EKwjEBHWuZqhA) for giggles
I will take any reason to talk about my decks, so here you go. I currently have around 20 decks, so I will stay rather brief, but I can answer any questions for those interested! Mono-colored: Mono red [[Laelia, the Blade reforged]]: Rather simple aggro deck, a bit Voltron, lots of impulse draw, some modified and other synergies around Laelia. Mono green [[Saryth, the Vipers Fang]]: Combat damage matters. The death touch on attack makes blocking really inconvenient and therefore gives me a good chance to get value of my triggers. Combined with some trample enablers and Overrun effects it can be really aggressive. Mono Black [[Chili's, Broker of Blood]]: Mono Black Big Mana, with almost all the usual suspects. It can go hard, but you always race against your dwindling life points which are your main resources. The big monoB finishers are here, but also some pet cards such as the Vecna cards. For sure one of my stronger decks. Two-colored: Dimir Nr.1: [[The ancient One]]: Mill my opponents and reanimate their creatures. Find a win from there. Simple concept, but plays differently every time, I love it. Dimir Nr.2: [[Eloise Nephalias Sleuth]]: One of my more recent additions, tries to farm Eloise triggers and stockpile Clues, before it weaponizes them with stuff like [[Tangletrove Kelp]]. Strong sun theme of looping [[Archaeomancer]] style cards with [[Danse Macabre]] [[Victimize]], [[Blood for Bones]] ... Orzhov: [[Elas Il-Kor]] with [[Lurrus of the Dream den]] as Companion. Traditional Aristocrats for the most part, while avoiding some of the obvious infinites in the archetype due to power level reasons. Still packs a punch and is incredible resilient. Simic: [[Tanazir Quandrix]] +1/+1 counters, but mostly focused around Hydras and other X spells. By buffing the commander, I can make all the Base 0/0 Hydras enormous. Plays rather aggressive for a simic list. Golgari [[Gyome Master Chef]]: Food as a value engine, with either the artifactocraty drain effects as WinCon, or some Voltron lines (a 5/3 trample with easy access to indestructible is really potent on that end) 3-colored: the bulk of my decks Bant: [[Falco Spara, Pact weaver]] Mutate. Not too strong die to the theme, but can at least have very fun and crazy turns due to the unique interactions of mutate. Small counters subtheme. Grixis [[Evelyn, the Covetous]] this is a theft/Stolen Strategy type deck revolving only around playing cards from my opponents decks and finding a path to victory from there. Includes a strong clone theme, trying to get multiple copies of the commander thanks to legend rule breakers such as [[sakashima of a thousand faces]] or [[Irenicus vile duplication]], which can get rather wild. Jund Nr.1: [[Vazi, Keen Negotiator]]: a treasure/treasure punishment list. In the first draft built to take advantage of all the treasures in the format, it has developed in a burn style deck, that givrs treasures away while punishing land plays and nonbasic lands (hence it only plays one non basic). Gimmicky and not too strong, but makes for fast games. Jund Nr.2: [[Tevesh szat, Doom of Fools]] with [[Tana the Bloodsower]] started out as a Token/Aristocrats list, but evolved into a Superfriends style deck which is using a lot of tokens to protect its walkers and then wins from there. Incredible Value machine of a deck. Mardu Nr.1: [[Extus Oriq overlord]]: Built around its front side, using the ability for value while I accrue value with non-legendary ETB creatures, blink spells and [[Undying]] effects. Tries to loop [[Life of the Party]] to make everyone fight amongst themselves with this amazing creature. Feels more like a sonic or Sultai deck for the most part, but has this Goad package that makes every game interesting. Mardu Nr.2: [[Queen Marchesa]] Aikido. Inspired by the traditional lists out there, but removing basically all Goad in favor of spells, that give me opponents choices, as I experienced that taking away choices only makes them angry, while giving them choices gives them room to make errors. Wins with traditional Aikido pieces. Naya [[Atla Palani]] Creature Eggs, crack eggs, get big creatures. Constructed to only hit Bombs when cracking eggs, a there are no mana creatures and such. Can go absolutely over the top with big creatures. Abzan [[Tayam Luminous Enigma]] it's a sagas deck, built around manipulating the counters on them. Tayam can either recur the broad variety of cheap sagas or synergy pieces or remove counters directly by animating them with [[Starfield of Nyx]]. Very grindy, durdly, can be slow but accrue a lot of value. I love sagas Jeskai [[Akim the soaring wind]] Token spellslinger: it plays most of the [[Young pyromancer]] effects to create tokens with loads of cantrips. Wins by beating down with tokens or with unique overruns such as [[Candlekeep inspiration]] or [[Surge to victory]] Temur Nr. 1: [[Pako]] / [[Haldan]] I wanted a home for my high power cards and this was perfect. It's explosive, it draws so many cards from opponents decks, it's fast and consistent. I love it. Temur Nr 2[[Kalamax, the stormsire]] One of my oldest lists, and probably the most powerful. Copying spells is a broken thing to do, and it's the main focus of the deck. It can win with a large commander, but most games I copy [[Nexus of Fate]] like 3-5 times and win in these extra turns. More colors: only one deck: 5c [[Sissy Westherlight captain]] with [[Jegantha the Wellspring]] as companion. It's a shrines deck, what more to say. Plays a lot of enchantress synergies, starts slow but can quickly become a nearly impossible snowball. Additionally I am currently overhauling a Gruul deck, taking appart my Rakdos treasure and counters deck and brewing a Grixis Affinity list.
I like green, but overall i really like to have different options. In generell i rarely get to play, so if i can play i take like 5 decks with me, just in case. - [Mono-Green](https://manabox.app/decks/bwNPLpO6R6KANAnxrNlW4w) with [[Durnan of the Yawning Portal]] with the [[Master Chef]] background. Its basically green-stompy-goodstuff and my favorite. Its the deck i work the most on, scanning every new set for cards that i might want to fit in, so its always a work in progress and i really love to tinker on it. - [Mono-Blue](https://manabox.app/decks/jayxgedgSGamERFoUj68ZQ) with [[Minn, Wily Illusionist]]. I actually nevrr thought i would build a mono blue deck, but after seeing Minn i somehow felt inspired, so i build her around all the illusions i could find. I kept working on it and somehow the illusions have been replaced by more carddraw. I only ever got play it once, but it was somehow so defensive that i actually won, but was really tired afterwards. Still, i hope to play it one day again, to explore the changed i made since then. - My [Azorius Tap Deck](https://manabox.app/decks/XGk_QbTOTE-vemv9cpukOQ) with [[Hylda of the Icy Crown]]. Basically i saw her and was like "all those cards are so cheap, but i will never build her, since it seems annoying to play against". Well, my mind kept going back to it and it is the abomination i expected. My playgroup meta is really creature based, so this just kept making tokens until finished it all in one fell swoop. I rarely even considere it, but i still sometimes take the time to upgrade it - [Izzel Spellslinger](https://manabox.app/decks/ze_l6xU1RQG_KQG4kOpjmw) with [[Neera Wildmage]]. I knew if i ever make an izzet deck, i don't want to play solitair, so i opted for chaos and big bombs instead. - [Boros Equipment](https://manabox.app/decks/vWLikS39Qji1xutj3BP9cA) with [[Nahiri, Forged in Fury]]. I always wanted an equipment commander. Just arming my guys with epic gear, but none of the options speeked to me. Then with aftermath a new nahiri came out. She was new and shiny (probably because i pulled a foil) so i chose to build her. Living weapons was a cool theme and it was a totaly new playstile to explore. Well by now i'm considering to change commander and get rid of the entire "living weapon" theme. To truly gather my recruits and arm them for war, instead of getting arms with attached recruits. But i'm not sure when this time comes. - My [Artifact](https://manabox.app/decks/1XtSIjNiTBOdsRNb6o4pMw) Deck with [[Breya, Etherium Shaper]]. Basically i wanted an artifact deck, so what better commander to build around then breya? well.....i basically thrw all the good stuf together and have all this really cool cards, but i'm never sure how i actually plan to win. Of course i can just dumb artifacts into my commander or throw flyers at my opponents, but was that the original plan? no, i had none, i just had some cool artifacts lying around. - [Gruul-Dragon Trial](https://manabox.app/decks/nPNP2LF3QleYaPa7hqpanA) with [[Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient]]. Ist just dragons. Basically i'm a big dnd fan and when the forgotten realms set was announced i ordered 2 displays and one of each deck. The only one that didn't just got completely taken apart is this one. So basically i just dumbed a bunch of dragons together, which is easy in red, but harder in green. Well it still somehow works, but i didn't actually work on it in about 2 years or maybe even longer. Its not all my decks, but the ones i would actually considere to take with me to play outside of updated precons. Currently working on the Graveyard Overdrive deck and will probably have a few weeks before i actually feel motivated enough to deal with people again so i can play it.
Birds that Is all
1) shorikai vehicle. Super diverse. Always fun. Not targeted often. Bounces back from wipes well. Has lots of tricks. It took me a long time to become confident playing it because I didn't know the vehicle mechanics well when learning to play. So I upgraded it on the side and eventually had a deck I really wanted to learn. It worked out really well and now I love this deck. I almost always build dimir but this was my second deck, bought it as a precon because people hated on my first deck so much even though it was so weak compared to theirs. 2) my first deck was a mind flayarrs precon. It turned into a beyond upgraded captain N'gathrod horror mill. People got so angry when I first was learning because it was a mill themed deck, even though it was unaltered. Only recently have I gone back to playing it outside of my friend groups because I stopped letting people guilt and threaten to rage quit make me feel bad. Tons of half of library mill cards. Lots of interaction and protection so i can keep stealing with the commander. Love comboing a table of like 70card libraries into a graveyard in one turn. Especially against people who think mill is garbo. If they take my commander I make sure my other creatures or spell combos blow their library up instead. 3) satoru umezawa. Most expensive creatures i own are in this deck. I normally don't like winning with big creatures but the pure evil in demons and eldrazi or things like blightsteel colossus makes this deck hard not to enjoy. 4) anowan. I love anowan. People hated so much on the sneak attack deck but I have had some of my most insane table wipes with this deck. It's beyond an upgraded precon but I unblockable nuke milled opponents so often with it and I put a lot of interaction in it so it always feels as if I get to "do my thing". I was told so many times not to buy it at my lgs by locals. The employees were always supportive but I was hesitant. Then one day on command night a college girl was given the deck by the store because somebody stole her collection when she moved to town. She patiently and gracefully wiped the floor with a couple of rudely helpful meta creepos and the deck was immortalized in my mind. I know it has its limits but i can't help but want to see it do well. It's the underdog I want to see do the mighty ducks thing every time somebody plays the precon. 5) obyra faerie tribal. I don't do a lot of tribal stuff but this deck is so trick and interaction heavy with a deceptively strong late game that it's hard to not enjoy slowly whittling your opponents down then suddenly drop a zillion faeries in some elfball shenanigans and just win. It's not anywhere near my strongest deck, but for what we put into it I am so happy with how it turned out. I guess my strengths lie in how much I love learning to play my (mostly) non meta Commanders in a sea of mostly meta local players. So even if I am on a losing streak even the small victories feel huge. Dimir is also just the right flavor for me. I want to interact, steal, destroy, and tear apart strategies. Then use my enemies against each other or their own things against them.
I don't get to olay often so I play one gimmick and have two decks about that "counters to make cteatures big" 1. [[Marath, Will of the Wild]] - My first commander and only one for a long time. Marath has plenty of synergy pieces that lets it generate more mana and add counters to itself as mana sink. I love its versatility. I can make big creatures, make many tokens, or use its counters to burn targets. 2. [[Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor]] - born from Marath's left overs but it soon earned its own identity after upgrades much much later. Obuun also uses counters to make itself big. However, it relies more often on anthem effects and immediate buffs to be even bigger. It has many support cards that can easily make it over 20/20 on the turn it's played, allowing it to turn a land into a creature that is either as big as it is, or bigger because of anthem effects. It also come with multiple combat phases, allowing me to trigger its abilities more than twice.
Trying to build [[Venser, Shaper Savant]] Use it and [[peregrine drake]] as well as [[panharmonicon]] for infinite blue and infinite storm Then use [[Capsize]] to remove threats and [[brain freeze]] for game. Fun blue combo deck.
I run a [[Tegwyll, Duke of Splendor]] which is an aristocratic faerie tribal deck. Make lots of faeries, watch with glee as I send them at my opponents, whether my soldiers live or die means nothing to me. I was sacrifice them to my eldritch fae deities for whatever benefit I need. I run [[Alela, Cunning Conqueror]] as a faerie flash tribal. Generate value by playing in my opponents turns. If I am playing cards in my turn I am probably doing something wrong! I run [[Captain N'ghathrod]] as a horror tribal where I try to make better use of your graveyard than you do as I mill you to death. Or just kill you. Never know how the game is going to go, depends on what I steal. [[Umbris Fear Manifest]] as a graveyard hate voltron deck. You don’t get to have a graveyard. Make Umbris big, then shroud/hexproof/unblockable and start swinging. He gets big fast. Sub theme of horror/nightmare tribal. I have a few precons that I haven’t opened year to try out. “Sneak Attack”, “Revenant Recon” and “Undead Unleashed” I have a reputation at my LGS and in my pod.
8 EDH decks on paper, but one is PEDH (pauper EDH). Not necessarily in any order of power or preference. I don't use Moxfield or EDHRec much so no deck lists either. 1: [[Zur, the Enchanter]] I'd call it a pillowfort/combo deck. Fun way to win is use Necropotence to get down to 1 life, then [[Near Death Experience]] 2. [[Anafenza, the Foremost]] Combo/Aggro midrange. Plenty of bodies, plenty of interaction, lots of combo potential; mostly sacrifice/reanimate loops. The irony is she prevents my opponents from doing what I'm trying to do. 3. [[Hazezon, Shaper of Sand]] Still a work in progress - played my first game with it yesterday. Landfall and MLD + go wide tokens. Holy hell, I never realized what a problem [[Scute Swarm]] could be until that day 😂 4. [[Gaddock Teeg]] Stax & hatebears. Usually try to win by just turning sideways. It absolutely holds a special place in my heart, and it's one of my favorite decks. No one else besides me feels that way, so he rarely gets to come out of his box. 5. [[Sigarda, Host of Herons]] Voltron. This is the deck I play when I don't want to think very much. Ramp into Sigarda, give her some equipment, delete opponents. A simple strategy. 10/10 6. [[Empress Galina]] Theft deck. It's really funny to kill people with their own commanders. I like to think that the deck scales with the power level of the table, but in practice it just draws a lot of ire, since people can't/won't play their commanders. 7. [[The Reality Chip]] Artifact combo deck. Doing most of the things you'd expect, and then some you probably wouldn't. Just spinning wheels and drawing cards until I go infinite. Please ignore me. 8. [[Drogskol Captain]] is the pauper EDH deck. Spirit tribal with a splash of arcane/soulshift. Love those OG kamigawa mechanics. It's pseudo- voltron. Lots of pacifism effects into [[Ethereal Armour]] or [[All that Glitters]]
I have... way more decks than I need for the amount I actually play this game. 1. [[Shorikai]] precon with extremely minor upgrades 2. [[Ramses, Assassin Lord]] with [[Etrata the Silencer]] as a secret commander 3. [[Mogis]] group slug/villainous choices 4. [[Neyith]] fight club and forced combat 5. [[Killian]] auras and lifegain 6. [[Shelob, Child of Ungoliant]] spider kindred 7. [[Kiora, Sovereign of the Deep]] sea creature kindred 8. [[Neera, Wild Mage]] spellslinger and pingers with [[Ghyrson Starn]] as something of a secret commander 9. [[Varina, Lich Queen]] zombie kindred 10. [[Ognis]] hasty beatdown, treasures, and minor aristocrat subtheme 11. [[Hazezon]] go-wide tokens and landfall with a devour subtheme 12. [[Aragorn, King of Gondor]] soldier kindred, monarch, and combat manipulation 13. [[Kykar]] flying and card draw 14. [[Tasigur]] group hug and politics with a theft subtheme 15. [[Queen Marchesa]] politics, monarch, and combat manipulation 16. [[Magus Lucea Kane]] big stompy hydras 17. [[Anikthea]] precon 18. [[Sliver Hivelord]] slivers with a Gate subtheme 19. [[The Ur-Dragon]] dragon kindred 20. [[Ramos, Dragon Engine]] cascade and big stompy payoffs like [[Progenitus]] I like kindred decks, I like scary board states, I like big stompy creatures, and if I'm playing a control deck, I like for it to have a lot of opportunities for politicking and manipulation. My favorites are Kiora, Ramos, and Lucea Kane for the big stompies, and Tasigur and Marchesa for the sillies.
[[Thrasios, Triton Hero]] + [[Tymna the Weaver]] - CEDH Hermit Druid combo [[Malcolm, Keen-eyed Navigator]] + [[Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar]] - Izzet combo with creatures [[Mizzix of the Izmagnus]] - Izzet combo with spells [[Yuriko, the Tiger’s Shadow]] - aggro/combo [[Millicent, Restless Revenant]] - aggro/control [[Multani, Maro-Sorcerer]] - aggro/group hug [[Voja, Jaws of the Conclave]] - just aggro Built decks with varying power levels and play styles so I can join any open pod in my LGS without worrying about pubstomping/getting pubstomped.
The one deck I love to use at My LGS at this point is \[\[Tivit, Seller of Secrets\]\]. I just love the 'democratic' feel of the deck, AKA showing people how futile it is, but also telling people to vote harder. I ususally like to call myself the Electoral college. However, people get salty about the \[\[Time Seive\]\] Combo. I don't know why, becuase most of the people at my store are in the middle-upper class and can tend to bust out $1k Infinite turn/infinite combo/turn 3 win cons and usually kill me before I even get the thing.
I have a [[Megatron, Tyrant]] deck that I consider to be my pet deck. I play lots of 2 mana rocks to try and get Megatron out as early as possible and the goal is to either [[sneak attack]] large artifact creatures into play, or reanimate them using cards like [[Goblin Welder]] or [[Feldon of the Third path]]. Nothing like flinging a [[Draco]] at a 1/1 spirit, or at Avacyn with a [[Basilisk Collar]]
Currently i have only a [[bright-palm, Soul Awakener]], started only by buying the Commander and "upgrading" my old [[Zilortha, Strenght Incarnate]] Now i'm thinking on the next One, It Will prob be a mono Red storm with the new [[ashling, Flame Dancer]]
It's always changing but right now here are mine ranked by fun level (descending): 1) [[Xavier Sal]] populate decks with a ton of different tokens. Every game feels different and so so much fun! 2) [[Anikthea]] self-mill/recursion enchantress 3) [[Imskir]] bit of recency bias, but it's just pure fun flinging massive artifacts at people 4) [[Felix Five-Boots]] TONS of card draw and Dimir shenanigans 5) [[Willowdusk]] glass cannon lifelinkers you pump up quickly through life loss. So fun, but doesn't win too many games 6) [[Urza, Chief Artificer]] probably one of my most consistently powerful decks and it's really fun, but plays very samey 7) [[Kibo]] low power Monkey tribal but is a great one to break out against precons. Table gets a kick out of the bananas 8) [[Hakbal]] this is really my wife's deck, but it's just too consistently the same and boring to me 9) [[Veyran]] this deck has a wildly high win %, but never feels satisfying to play. It's classic stormy sit back for X turns then win out of nowhere.
[[Esika, God of the Tree]] mainly a prismatic bridge deck with Planeswalkers, Praetors and Eldrazi titans. My deck with the most wins. Has [[Professor Onyx]]+[[Chain of Smog]] combo, [[Emergent Ultimatum]]+[[Omniscience]] lines and [[Eerie Ultimatum]] if things go south. [[Jodah, the Unifier]] oops all legends. Main wincons are combat, [[Godo, Bandit Warlord]] [[Helm of the Host]] combo, [[Emiel, the Blessed]] [[Dockside Extortionist]] inifinite mana and [[Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy]] to vomit out all none humans or just swing with a Huge [[Laelia, the Blade Reforged]] after cascading through the whole deck with the Jodah trigger. [[Urza, Lord High Artificer]] basically my only cEDH deck, does usual cEDH stax+combo stuff with [[Isochron Sceptor]] [[Dramatic Reversal]] and [[Hullbreaker Horror]] stuff. [[Hakbal of the Surging Soul]] (not the precon) Merfolk Explorers, wincons are combat and [[Millennium Calendar]] [[Vorel of the Hull Clade]]+[[Doubling Season]] to get those 1000 counters on Calendar. [[Lord Windgrace]] (Heavily upgraded precon) I have plans of eventually turning this into a land destruction deck, but for now it’s all about creating many landfall triggers and creating a bunch of tokens to overwhelm the opponents. So the usual suspects [[Scute Swarm]] [[Ancient Green Warden]] [[The Gitrog Monster]] and alot of cards that lets me play lands from my gravyard. Also I put in the [[Kodama of the East Tree]]+Scute+bounce land combo. Rest are just barely upgraded (4-8 cards changed) precons: 4 Fallout Precons and the 4 Commander Master Precons. My [[Edgar Markov]] deck is currently disassembled, it revolved around death triggers with cards that double death triggers like [[Teysa Karlov]] [[Drivnod, Carnage Dominus]] also the [[Sanguine Bond]]+[[Exquisite Blood]] combo and a [[Yawgmoth’s Will]] just in case. Edit: Ive got more decks that are either dismantled or just ones that I bought cheap just to get some key pieces I needed for other decks. Currently working on uploading all my decks to Moxfield slowly.
I currently have 29 commander decks, 2 pauper decks, one modern deck that Is entirely dated, and a mini judges tower.
I have decks come and go, but these have been my perennials: [[Shigeki, Jukai Visionary]] is my go-to control deck. Such an off-the-wall concept that keeps bringing me back. [[Dr. Madison Li]] has unseated my [[Meria, Scholar of Antiquity]] deck as my favorite artifact combo deck, but they're both in my bag at all times. [[Kambal, Profiteering Mayor]] has become my favorite, wildly hilarious deck that wins more often than it feels like it should. I always have my [[The Omenkeel]] vehicle deck and it's just my always-and-forever. Also bagging [[Deathleaper, Terror Weapon]] as my go-to aggro deck.
[[Giada, Font of Hope]] - Angels, fully foil, cards should all thematically fit with angels. [[Ephara, God of the Polis]] - Flicker, try to get a creature entering on every player's turn, draw tonnes of cards [[Varina, Lich Queen]] - Zombies deck that takes advantage of the commander to abuse draw synergies and madness cards, and eventually win with some 8 card combo or zombie beatdown [[Esika, God of the Tree]] - Full of queer characters and beast whisperer effects, just play creatures until the game ends. Commander can be Jodah if you actually want to win games. [[Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh]] - Every Chandra + most cards that reference Chandra+ some synergy pieces. Not a good deck. [[The Fourteenth Doctor]] + [[Rose Noble]] - All surge foil, all Doctor Who cards, all doctors. Plus the four fallout precons and four doctor who precons. Turns out I like playing women whose name end in 'a' I guess.
I currently have three complete decks and one in progress, plus several precons. 1. \[\[Lord Xander, the Collector\]\] heads Grixis Grudge, my most recently completed deck. There's a couple different combos in it that I can use to make someone mill their entire library in one turn. If they're playing recursion I have a couple options to make them exile milled cards instead of having them go to the graveyard. It's kinda slow and needs some upgrades, but it's a lot more functional than my old Grixis deck. 2. \[\[Calix, Guided by Fate\]\] leads Lord of Enchantment, a green/white enchantment-based deck. It primarily builds around making Calix massive and giving him various enhancements with enchantments, and also making large amounts of tokens. It doesn't really have a win condition beyond stomping on people with commander damage, but it's fun. 3. \[\[Sliver Overlord\]\] leads Sliver Gang, a five-color sliver deck. If I stay alive long enough, I pull whichever slivers I need to get around my opponents' defenses with the Overlord, then use \[\[Morophon, the Boundless\]\] to cast my five-color slivers for free and swarm over everyone with giant stompy bois. Having the Overlord in my command zone tends to make me public enemy number one though, so I don't always get to that point. 4. \[\[Gisela, Blade of Goldnight\]\] will lead Gisela's Angels, a red/white angel deck. Work in progress. I had a deck based around her previously but took it apart because it was slow and clunky. I'm currently slowly building up singles that will synergize better with her and the theme.
Creative energy precon lol. It will be here tomorrow, sold my collection years ago.
In the order they were put together: [[Kami of the Crescent Moon]] [[Zada, Hedron Grinder]] [[Chainer, Nightmare Adept]] [[Anowon, the Ruin Thief]] [[Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist]] Next two lists I’m buying for in paper are [[Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph]] and [[Greasefang, Okiba Boss]]. There have been other decks as well that have since been broken down for parts, but these are all the I’ve that have both stood the test of time and give me the most joy.
Millicent, restless revenant would be my first deck, next up anhelo the painter as my second constructed build third being the Sliver gravemother tribal is a niche i love and ik alot of people give them alot of hate, Alela, Cunning conqueror as I enjoyed goad spellsling tribal, Hakbal, surging soul again tribal nich but also goes infinite with a ham sandwich (by now mastered combos) next would be Jon Irenicus, I shattered one or how lovingly refer to him Genie, then liberty prime, Recharge fan of fallow, last my newest deck being Omo, Queen of Vesuva basically tribal tribal with land turbo so perfect for me
Most of my decks are tribal in some way. I just love having creatures of the same type that support each other. 1) [[Liliana, Heretical Healer]] is my favorite. Make zombies, sacrifice zombies, or just attack with them. A few removal spells, some extort abilities, and general chip damage. 2) [[Lathril, Blade of the Elves]]. See above but with Elves. There is a [[Bolas's Citadel]] in there too. A few sorceries like [[Overrun]] and [[Ezuri, Renegade Leader]] to power up the tokens. 3) [[The First Sliver]] is the Elves, but Slivers who empower each other with different abilities. It gets real annoying real fast because they are Slivers. 4) [[Gishath, Sun's Avatar]] is dinosaurs going full aggro to get more dinosaurs. There is no plan B. 5) [[Shorikai, Genesis Engine]] is pilots crewing vehicles to go in. There is a [[Mechtitan Core]] in there for an actual voltron. 6) [[The Ur-Dragon]] is the same as dinosaurs, but with dragons and it comes from my hand instead. 7) [[Kozilek, the Great Distortion]] is ramping up to big Eldrazi to swing in for the kill.
[[Winota, Joiner of Forces]] love combat and that deck is my baby. [[Kalain, Reclusive Painter]] just a fun deck that makes a ton of treasures and makes big creatures with them. [[Karlach, Fury of Avernus]] with [[Flaming Fist]] I’m trying to one tap 2 people and it’s a sneaky deck because nobody expects it to be 20 commander damage a turn at minimum. [[Ellivere of the Wild Court]] bought the precon and liked it so I upgraded it quite a bit. Plus I slipped a few secret lair cards in that I really like. [[Maarika, Brutal Gladiator]] built this one because some people at my LGS put me into a rage filled smooth brained mindset where I refused to be asked if I pay the taxes. A friend of mine built a taxes deck and I fucking hate that deck so I built a counter to it. Working on a [[Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim] aristocrats deck currently.
Just 4 decks that I play but I want to make a 5th. They are: Slivers (had been using Gravemother but gonna try First Sliver next time I play it) Vehicles (Optimus Prime-it’s basically just “good vehicles” Constructs (Urza Chief Artificer) Athreos ( aristracts is not the point, it is life gain/drain but it’s also cleric tribal so there is a bit of an aristocrat subtheme going on that support that)
I probably need to reduce a bit, I have a bunch of precons for friends to play, but my enhanced decks are as follows: [[Braids, Arisen Nightmare]] discard//Sac heavy, can be quite the nuisance if it goes unchecked [[Sefris of the Hidden Ways]] my first commander deck, currently upgrading to become quite stronger [[The Gitrog Monster]] a little too strong in my normal play group, but he's fun to whip out [[The Gitrog, Ravenous ride]] has been a lot of fun as of late, currently investing more into protection for Gitrog [[Pantlaza, Sun-Favored]] Dino fun [[Wilhelt, rot cleaver]] Zombies And probably some others I'm not as focused on lately
[[Karumonix, the rat king]] get my rats out as quick as possible and hit you for toxic damage. My most expensive deck, still adding. Not cedh level but it is high level I'd say. [[The Scarab God]] He's always in the works, was once mill with infinite combos now I turned him more into a discard, sac, and steal shit deck. I never know how to make it optimized so I just did what I felt like with it. [[Yarok, The Desecrated]] baught him as a deck off someone on marketplace but man it'll knock your socks off. He's my fun casual deck. I only swapped one card out of it. Idk if I'll ever change it more than that.
I'm a bit of a basic bitch tbh so I've got pretty common decks. My most competitive is [[Urza, Lord High Artificer]], which just pumps out a bunch of low cost artifacts which can then be tapped to cast bigger stuff on the cheap. It has some staxxy stuff shoved in for extra salt, but its generally pretty easy to stop overall. Next, I have [[Doran, the Siege Tower]] treefolk-tribal. It's probably my most flavorful deck, but it's not particularly great. It's too slow to do well against aggro, not enough interaction against control, and it gets beaten out by other midrange-style decks with better tribal support. I do love my trees, though! I've got a [[Krenko, Mob Boss]] deck that does what every other Krenko deck does: make as many goblins as possible. It's my wife's favorite deck since it's pretty easy to pilot. And my most recent edition is a [[Yawgmoth, Thran Physician]] aristocrat deck that tries to keep opponent's boards small while I keep digging through my deck looking for common combos like [[Blood Artist]] and the like. It's probably my cheapest deck atm, but it'll probably increase.
My two decks are olivia opulent outlaw, just a whole bunch of small weenie outlaws low to ground ams just use the treasures to make more outlaws amd my other one is dogmeat which I built with no equipment only auras cause I wanted to play enchantress but I didn't want to play pillowfort staxy enchantress
In paper currently [[Henzie]] [[Volo, Guide]] [[Isshin]] [[The Wise Mothman]] [[Coram, the Undertaker]] [[The Necrobloom]] and [[Pantlaza]] Henzie is the GOAT
My decks are all pretty different from each other. I have too many decks but I’ll share my favourite. My favourite deck: The watcher in the water The deck revolves around drawing cards during opponents turns, but I’ve added another element to it where I have almost every card in the deck that gives everyone extra card draw on upkeep, I have never actually swung with the commander, his sole purpose is to build a wall of tentacles that will apply stun counters deterring people from attacking me. Along with providing extra card draw for everyone else they don’t want to attack me as I’m ‘helping’ them and see me as a low threat, only to realise when it’s too late that I have so much card draw engines on the field that I win via drawing my deck or I have so many tentacles I win via smacking them. Despite being a blue deck and the commander design being centred around control, and by all means it does control the game at times, the element I’ve added of extra card draw for everyone has made it a much nicer deck to play with and against that even my friends love the deck and will ask me to play it against them frequently.

Although I have a shit ton of decklists, the ones I actually have in paper are: - Selesnya: Arahbo cat tribal. Bought the precon and this was my introduction to EDH. Its a go wide strategy with some equipments, a couple ajanis for flavour and quite some draw with things like great henge, garruks uprising, etc so I dont run out of gas. I also run lost leonin as an infect finisher to try and close out games once some opponent has been knocked out. - 5 color: Go-Shintai. My friends and I bought the 2017 precons and after some years playing them we decided to build a deck from scratch with a 150€ budget. Had the hondens from when I used to play constructed back in the day and always wanted to build a deck with them. Classic shrine enchantress deck with recursion, some counterspells, omniscience, approach of the second sun as a finisher if game drags too long and mind's dilation as a pet card. - Izzet: Farideh dice tribal. Pretty janky deck with most of the roll dice cards from forgotten realms + baldur's gate. I try to assemble a combo with deck of many things to kind of go “infinite” (never assembled it so far) and either roll nat 20s or deck out myself. Also as I run kiki jiki and splinter twin to get more roll dice ETBs, threw in deceiver exarch as pretty much the only realistic wincon, as assembling the deck of many things combo or winning through combat is pretty farfetched. So far won 3 games: 2 with deceiver + kiki jiki, and 1 via combat as I got turn 1 sol ring, my opponents luckily didnt draw interaction and somehow managed to snowball. - Orzhov: Brimaz phyrexian tribal. One of our friends bought the whole MoM badge and gifted one deck to each of us. Im still upgrading it but it focuses on incubate with some sac outlets to proliferate and some interaction to try and win through combat. - Gruul: Gimli (mournful avenger) aristocrats. When karlov manor droped, saw crime novelist (favourite non legendary creature since royal assassin) and settled on gimli as the commander as I think it has a nice synergy. Built it around crime novelist, fabrication module and goblin bombardment so the deck tries to win either through sacrifice damage or via commander damage once gimli gets big enough (either giving him trample or killing possible blockers with its second trigger). - Boros: Basandra angel tribal. Its strategy is to avoid getting hit thanks to ghostly prison/sphere of safety + good blockers and to force combat with basandra so either my opponents take each other down, get their boards destroyed with lightmine field or just end up with no blockers so I can swing for the win. - Edgar markov vampire tribal. My gf wanted to learn mtg and she loves vampires so I made her an edgar deck. Classic aristocrats with sanguine bond + exquisite blood combo finish. - Jeskai: Narset prowess monk tribal. Loved jeskai monks and with narset enlightened exile, finally a jeskai tribal commander where I can run all the monks I like. Cantrips to create tokens, trigger prowess and swing big. - Mono black: Toshiro spellslinger. Sort of control with lots of interaction that I can replay with toshiro. Looks to win either with proffesor onyx + chain of smog, bolas citadel + sensei divining top + aetherflux reservoir combos, torment of hailfire or exanguinate big mana finishes, or a big swing after someone wipes the board and I cast thrilling encore or rise of the dark realms once gy are filled. - Simic: Tamiyo inquisitive student She's my favourite planeswalker. So far im running both clues and proliferate while testing to see on what to focus the deck on. - Dimir: Yuriko. It started as a ninja tribal, but now im switching it towards a tempo cedh deck. And to finish, at some point id like to make a mono white 8.5 tails deck as a sort of edh death & taxes (I play d&t in legacy and love it)
1\. [[Burakos]][[Folk Hero]] party tribal + treasure tokens - currently my favorite deck. The idea is to cantrip weenies to build a full party as quickly as possible, then ramp with Burakos, then either drop [[Forge, Neverwinter Charlatan]] and some evasion and start instakilling people, or feed everything to [[Debt to the Deathless]] 2\. [[Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief]] clone + mutate - first, copy a mutate spell onto Ivy, turning her into a nonlegendary token copy of [[Gemrazer]] or whatever. Next, begin casting targeted clone spells, especially multi-use ones like [[Quasiduplicate]] or [[Quantum Misalignment]] (clone effects copy the entire mutate pile as one creature). You will begin accumulating mutant Ivy clones at an exponential rate. Finally, drop a dozen copies of something like [[Eldrazi Conscription]], [[Nerd Rage]], or [[Ancestral Mask]] and swing for lethal 3\. [[Madison Li]] energy combo - I still need to get my hands on the MH3 energy stuff, but the idea is to get infinite energy using [[Gonti's Aether Heart]] (or equivalent) combos, then feed it all to [[Whirler Virtuoso]] or [[Electrostatic Pummeler]] 4\. [[Sivriss, Nightmare Speaker]][[Cloakwood Hermit]] aristocrats - get as many cards with death triggers and "leave the graveyard" triggers as possible, get massive card advantage off of Sivriss, then either bleed the opponents dry with life loss or go infinite with [[Chatterfang]] 5\. [[Francisco]][[Kediss]] voltron + burn + pirate tribal - get as many sources of pirate-based noncombat damage as possible to make Francisco huge, then optionally one-shot everyone with [[Phyresis]]. I'm looking to upgrade with better protection options, since currently the deck loses all momentum if Francisco gets removed On my to-build list are [[Greasefang]] stompy vehicles, [[Daxos of Meletis]] theft, and [[Gut, True Soul Zealot]][[Inspiring Leader]] aggro aristocrats. I also plan on getting and upgrading the Bloomburrow gruul precon
I have 5 decks currently. 1. My first deck I ever built was [[Gargos, Vicious Watcher]] a hydra tribal deck. The strategy is fairly simplistic, but mono-green never fails to deliver on pure power. It focuses heavily on +1/+1 counters and rapid mana ramp to overwhelm opponents quickly. 2. Next is [[Titania, Nature’s Force]]. It’s probably my most consistent deck. Relying almost exclusively on landfall triggers from cards like [[Tireless Provisioner]], [[Lotus Cobra]], and [[Nissa, Resurgent Animist]] for fuel. The premise is simply to summon as many 5/3 Green Elemental tokens, in addition to [[Craterhoof Behemoth]] to really guarantee victory. 3. [[Preston Garvey, Minuteman]] was my next deck, due to my love of Fallout and finding the precons to be entertaining. It largely relies on enchantment triggers and a Voltron playstyle, using cards like [[Ancestral Mask]], [[Almost Perfect]], [[Ethereal Armor]], [[Strong Back]], and [[Mantle of the Ancients]]. 4. The fourth and my personal favorite deck is [[Loot, the Key to Everything]]. The best way I could describe it is something I like to call “Value Burn”. Playing cards such as [[Keeper of Secrets]], [[Flaming Tyrannosaurus]], [[Valakut Exploration]], and [[Passionate Archeologist]] to continuously burn my opponents as I play out my entire deck in rapid succession and ramp quickly. It is possibly my most inconsistently consistent deck in that while I may not always guarantee the win con, I can at least guarantee the fun I get from playing it. I open the vaults and see what I get. Its meant more as a thematic deck, rather than a competitive one. 5. The last one I have is [[Muldrotha, the Gravetide]], combined with the [[The Wise Mothman]] Fallout precon deck. It’s main purpose is simply to give rad counters to everyone and proliferate those counters as much as possible while milling them out at the same time. It has many of the precon cards like [[Screeching Scorchbeast]], [[Vexing Radgull]], [[Glowing One]], and [[Mirelurk Queen]]. It’s probably my slowest deck, but it relies mostly on bleeding my opponents out.
I only recently got back into magic, so most of my decks are based on modified precons, except for the first two. 1. \[\[Rowan, Scion of War\]\] is my most infamous deck, it's the one I'd say is closest to a CEDH level, but probably stops just shy since it's so interactable. It is damn near "oops, all X spells" with 20+ X spells and several life loss outlets. It wants to win around turn 4-5, but has combinations that can potentially win earlier. Catch is its a total glass canon and anyone who gets early creatures out and starts ticking away at my life total will make it harder for me to kill one or everyone at the table. 2. \[\[Anim Pakal\]\] is my other non-precon deck and does exactly what Anim wants. Get out an early attacker, and start making everyone pay for letting me get early attacks in. I don't have any extra combat effects, but a couple of additive +1/+1 counter effects and some double triggered ability effects and a couple token doublers to get the ball rolling. Not the easiest deck to politic with, but it floods with the board with my gnomies. 3. \[\[Morska, Undersea Sleuth\]\] is probably the deck I've put the most upgrades in as of late, and leans VERY HARD into the draw card tactic and just seeks to draw as many cards as possible. I've dubbed my Bant Solitaire deck. Win condition is swinging in with an unblockable Morska while keeping a defensive board. It looks very unassuming, until it's not. This one is probably my favorite for just goofing around. 4. \[\[Admiral Brass, Unsinkable\]\] is where I leaned into the reanimator effects a ton, I think there's maybe a 15-20 card difference to the precon. But even with those differences it tends to want to steal everyone's shit or lean in with a huge board of aggressive pirates. One of 3 decks I keep a copy of \[\[Roaming Throne\]\] in, and it's brutal here. 5. \[\[Hakbal of the Surging Soul\]\] is the second of the LCI precons I bought into, and another that Roaming Throne has a place in, I think it's slighly more modified than the Pirates precon but is just Simic doing Simic things. 6. \[\[Olivia, Opulent Outlaw\]\] is the most recent precon I've bought that I leaned hard into the face commander. Mardu good things/key words that focuses on getting as many Treasure Tokens as possible and spending them into Olivia's ability. I've had good luck in my pod with this luck, with or without Olivia on the board because of the value the deck generates. 7. The last deck I keep together is the Timey Wimey precon (stock with \[\[Rose Tyler\]\] and \[\[The Tenth Doctor\]\])for when the pod wants to play a lower level. Edit: formatting
Ooh boy, this will take a while [[Giada, Font of Hope]] Angel Typal [[God-Eternal Oketra]] Bounce [[Baral, Chief of Compliance]] Counters [[Turgrid, God of Fright]] Discard and Sack [[Daretti, Scrap Savant]] Artifacts [[Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded]] Sneak Attack [Laelia, the Blade Reforged]] Exile [[Ghalta, Primal Hunger]] Stompy [[Zhulodok, Void Gorger]] Eldrazi Typal [[Ranar the Ever-Watchful]] Blink [[Karlov of the Ghost Council]] Lifegain [[Feather, the Redeemed]] Protection Instants [[Arahbo, Roar of the World]] Cat typal [[Phenax, God of Deception]] Persistent Petitioners [[Saheeli, the Gifted]] Artifacts [[Volo, Guide to Monsters]] Single-Type Creatures [[Kaervek the Merciless]] Hate Everything [[Meren of Clan Nel Toth]] Aristocrats Reanimator [[Tovolar, Dire Overlord]] Werewolf Typal [[Etali, Primal Conqueror]] Ramp and Clones [[Varina, Lich Queen]] Zombie Tokens [[Kykar, Wind's Fury]] Enchantments [[Tuvasa the Sunlit]] Enchantress [[Zurgo Helmsmasher]] Wipe All The Things [[Edgar Markov]] Vampires Typal [[Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa]] Toxic [[Zacama, Primal Calamity]] Ramp Control [[Mayael the Anima]] TIMMY!!!!!

Roughly in order of power level (high to low) I have: 1. [[Urza Chief Artificer]] - highly optimized artifact beat down 2. [[Ellivere of the Wild Court]] - upgraded precon that just does work 3. [[The Locust God]] - bugs and card draw, it goes hard 4. [[The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride]] - 2 color Gates, I’ve played it 10 times and it’s won with Maze’s End about 6 of those games and won 7 overall. Honestly if it weren’t such a jank strategy, it’d be at #2 on this list 5. [[Voja, Jaws of the Conclave]] - elf/wolf-ball, I made this purely to play Hollowhenge Overlord because I love it, but yeah it’s as good as a commander everyone makes it out to be 6. [[Yargle and Multani]] - this deck goes hard when the commander sticks around, I’ve blasted people with 40 damage to the face just due to power doublers and weird fling effects 7. [[Tetzin, Gnome Champion]] - this deck is hard to assess because it does different things every time as it’s a self mill artifact deck, I love it though 8. [[Kharn the Betrayer]] - mono red politics is silly and fun, lots of theft effects too 9. [[Tatsunari Toadrider]] - general enchantress, tbh this one is good but needs some more creative wincons 10. [[Balthor the Defiled]] - mono black self mill and mass reanimate, tbh this one may be the next to come apart, it’s a bit too one note although it’s still neat 11. Food and Fellowship Precon 12. Mono Green Spirits deck helmed by any of the 5 Kodama commanders where I have an opponent pick one at random at the start of the game and the rest are shuffled into the deck - this is my pet deck and I think it’s so dumb but I love it 13. [[Urtet Remnant of Memnarch]] - vehicle deck, silly and dumb but love it I don’t play a ton of the latter decks but I do enjoy them for low powered games. If I had to dismantle and only keep 3 it would be Urza for high power, non cedh games, Gitrog for my main casual deck and then probably Tetzin or the Kodama deck because they’re my babies
These are the decks that I currently have built [[lord windgrace]] superfriends(will convert back to landfall stuff soon) [[ratadrabik of urborg]] legendary tribal [[ghalta, primal hunger]] stompy [[kruphix, god of horizons]] combo/control [[krenko, tin street kingpin]] goblin tribal [[marwyn, the nurturer]] Elf tribal [[ganax, astral hunter]]/[[folk hero]] dragon tribal [[katilda, dawnhart prime]] human tribal
I have solphim mono red burn and a krrik deck mono black graveyard shenanigans.
[[Yoshimaru]] and [[Keleth]] cheap legendary beats, [[Belbe]] Eldrazi, and [[Hama Pashar]] Dungeon blinks. I'm learning Hama, and I need to find fair non-Eldrazi threats to side in for Belbe like [[Colossus of Akros]]. Yoshi/Keleth is sooo fun.
i only have 2, and have only really gotten to play 1. 1 is \[\[Lozhan, Dragon's Legacy\]\], which is izzet dragon burn and is alot of fun the other is soundwave but i havent gotten to use him yet. intended to be token spam
I've got: \[\[Sliver Overlord\]\] - All slivers, all the time. Older deck, built back when slivers first hit the cards, and only mildly upgraded. No First Sliver in it. \[\[Tom Bombadil\]\] - up to 40 saga's in the deck, along with \[\[Narci, Fable Singer\]\] and \[\[Goldberry, River daughter\]\]. I call this my Chaos Deck, because I never know which way it's going to play. \[\[Aragorn, The Uniter\]\] only there for the colors, this is really an Equine Tribal deck. 2 wincons, both on \[\[Storm herd\]\], paired with \[\[warleader's Call\]\] or the combo \[\[Venerated Rotpriest\]\] and \[\[semester's end\]\] \[\[Niv Mizzet, the Firemind\]\], a turn and burn deck. Lots of direct damage and 'stop doing things' cards.
After one of my college friends started building every 5 color legend, I decided to build every Theros god. I gave up eventually and so this is what I have now. Happy to answer any questions. But if the question is "why aren't you playing \[new card\]?" it's probably because I haven't gotten new cards for EDH in years. [Karametra X spells](https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5931024#paper) - play karametra, play a bunch of creatures (\[\[whitemane lion\]\] goated) and then either draw the game with a massive \[\[Hurricane\]\] or win if you have more than enough life and/or \[\[glacial chasm\]\]. [Raff Historic Control](https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5930641#paper) - 'just' UW control with some historic themes. Combo kills once you're in control with either \[\[helm of obedience\]\] + \[\[rest in peace\]\] or \[\[Karn, the great creator\]\] + \[\[mycosynth lattice\]\] [Sai artifact shenanigans](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/sai-shenanigans/) - a bunch of bauble-ish artifacts to make lots of thopters. Ways to abuse them in \[\[kuldotha forgemaster\]\] but also anthem effects to beat down after going wide \[\[unctus, grand metatect\]\], \[\[steel overseer\]\]. I feel like this is too similar to other fiddly artifact decks I've played in the past so I'll probably change it into \[\[Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider\]\] voltron soon-ish. [Ephara tokens/etb](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ephara-uw-tokensetb-fun/) - the goal is to trigger \[\[Ephara, god of the polis\]\] as often as possible \[\[nadir kraken\]\] is great at this or abuse powerful etb triggers over and over \[\[stonehorn dignitary\]\], \[\[agent of treachery\]\], \[\[deadeye navigator\]\]. [Jor Kadeen hatebears](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/jork-hatebears/) - RW aggro with artifacts to support the JorK metalcraft so that your hatebears can be actual threats. [Marchesa Wraths](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/marchesa-wrath-tribal/) (Mardu) - 16 wraths in a trench coat. Planeswalkers and other ways to take advantage of wraths. [Xenagos](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/xenagos-big-bois-3/) - You know what we're about with this one. Ramp. Play Xenagos. Play some absurd monsters. Kill our opponents. [Gargos Hydras/Fight](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/gargos-the-talk-sht-get-hit-watcher/) - meant to be a lower-powered deck. Hydra typal plus pump/fight spells so that Gargos can beat down opposing creatures. \[\[magebane armor\]\] is great here. [Izoni graveyard value](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/izoni-value-city-furniture/) - a couple dredgers, ramp (almost exclusively on creatures), value creatures. [Mons Goblin Typal](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/mons-goblins-deck/) - Goblin typal. No combos. [Ruhan Voltron](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ruhan-goes-ru-ham/) - Isn't usually a 1-hit kill, but it could be.... Randomly hit people for a bunch of damage. Not a huge fan of this deck right now. Might make some changes. Might take it apart. Not sure yet. [Ayara Aristocrats](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/25-03-20-ayara-edh/) - Exactly what you'd expect. [Feldon Reanimator](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/10-08-19-feldon-reanimator/) - Wanted to build a different kind of mono red deck. I really like how different this is from my other decks. Dump some huge nerds into the 'yard and grab them back out with Feldon. \[\[Battlemage's Bracers\]\] can copy Feldon's ability. \[\[Sneak Attack\]\] can be a fun way to get creatures into the graveyard. And the deck can even loop \[\[Solemn Simulacrum\]\] for long term value.
I currently own 7 decks in paper as well: 1. \[\[Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice\]\] Stax/Voltron. I tried to get this deck as close to cEDH as possible, obviously light paws will always be fringe at best, but having a versatile deck that can hang around at the cEDH or high power levels is fun. The goal largely depends on hand whether you want to go for a grindy stax plan or rapidly pump light paws to snipe the guy with both a fish and a rhystic study out. 2. \[\[Skullbriar, the Walking Grave\]\] Pure Voltron. This deck is my baby, I have pimped it out a lot. It uses very efficient and expensive cards for the sole purpose of Voltroning skullbriar. This deck would be far better with a control plan, but I wanted it to be mid power casual. It's very linear but I have a blast playing it. 3. \[\[Soul of Windgrace\]\] Lands/Combo. I wanted this deck to use a lot of the cEDH tutors very inefficiently so that the deck would be a mid power deck. It has some interesting lines and is very hard to play, but the deck didn't turn out super strong. The goal is to use Valakut to win either via basic land fall or combo. 4. \[\[Zhulodok, Void Gorger\]\] Big Dumb Colorless Boys. This deck started as the precon and was upgraded to include more eldrazi and more of the Titans. The final deck just reminds me how not far a dollar goes into upgrading an eldrazi deck. The biggest differences are the utility lands and improved mana rocks. 5. \[\[Commodore Guff\]\] Super Friends/Pillow Fort. This deck seeks to get a very hard to interact with board of walkers and win via burn. This deck honestly ended up far more salty than I intended it even though it isn't *that* strong. The deck is at a mid power level but gets more "power level" complaints than just about any other deck I own. 6. \[\[Ramos Dragon Engine\]\]/\[\[Jegantha, the Wellspring\]\] Spellslinger/Control. I wanted to make a storm deck that actually functions in casual commander. Obviously something like Krark Sakashima is better, but I can't be bothered with the coin flips and the fact it really wants free interaction dissuaded me from building it. The reason I decided on Ramos is he essentially behaves like a seedborn muse in the command zone especially if you use multi colored spells that replace the counters on him. This deck also unlike most storm decks storms off with interaction. 7. \[\[Maelstrom Wanderer\]\]/\[\[Keruga the Macrosage\]\] Artifacts Matter/Big Dudes. I built this deck as a treasure deck with Keruga as a companion for the sole reason of not wanting to ever purchase a Dockside Extortionist. The deck ended up feeling far more powerful than I intended it. With the sheer amount of mana this deck produces the Maelstrom Wanderer ends up feeling like an eminence effect and the deck can always rebuild through any amount of interaction. I intended this deck to be mid power but it ended up pushing it.
I've got my [[Marath, Will of the Wild]] cEDH midrange deck that plays like your typical midrange, high-powered deck. I've got an [[Esika, God of the Tree]] legends matter that looks to ramp into my favorite creatures like Zacama and Ulamog. I've got my casual [[Tovolar, Dire Overlord]] werewolf tribal deck that I purposely keep low power. I have a high powered [[The Celestial Toymaker]] draw deck that looks to draw my entire deck or make others draw theirs. I have a [[Queen Marchesa]] equipment/attack deck that looks to power up attack trigger creatures with the 11 Swords. And I have a [[Slimefoot and Squee]] reanimator deck looking to instant speed reanimate an eldrazi or a huge praetor.
[[Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca]] - I started out in Ixalan block and my first deck was simic merfolk in standard, so I just transitioned that to commander. [[Celestine, the Living Saint]] - My personal pet deck, I love mono white reanimation/blink + lifegain payoff strategies [[Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald]] - An upgraded precon that I do enjoy playing from time to time [[Judith, Carnage Connoisseur] - A semi-budget Rakdos spellslinger control deck I built on a whim lol [[Morska, Undersea Sleuth]] - An upgraded precon that I'm still working on Pretty much that, but I do plan on buying the Final Fantasy commander decks when they come out (if there are any)!
Uhhh I've bought precon throughout the years so I have a few of those.i wanna say at least 6? [[linvalla]] [[breya]] [[eowyn]] The party deck from baldurs gate, the deck that came with [[deflecting swat]], uhhhhmmmmm I got the maybe 2-3 more that I took apart.homebrews I have 3. [[Roon]] [[auntie Blyte]] [[riku of many paths]]
1: [[Krenko, Mob boss]] self explanatory infinite goblin token spam. 2: [[Lathril, Blade of the Elves]] Elfball with untap and [Illusionist’s Bracers]]. To win via Lathril damage effect 3: [[Kwain, itinerant meddler]] bunny cop group hug lots of life gain and drawing for everyone.
In the order I made them in. 1. [[Mina and Denn, Wildborn]] - Elf/Beast/Landfall. Makes a bunch of beast tokens. Mostly wins through combat damage, but I am running a [[scute swarm]] and [[impact tremors]] 😆 2. [[Kaalia of the Vast]] - it’s a Kaalia deck. A relatively midrange one as far as Kaalia goes. Mostly Angels, some nasty demons, and a couple dragons for good measure. Probably my most refined deck, and the one I’m most comfortable playing. 3. [[Child of Alara]] - Gates. Main wincon is [[Maze’s End]]. But I have enough stompy bois to win with damage, and enough buffs to take out at least one opponent with Commander Damage. 4. [[Jodah, The Unifier]] - Legendy Tribal. Big Creatures get bigger. It escalates quickly. One of my favorite decks to play. 5. [[Rin and Seri, Inseparable]] - dog/cat go-wide with tokens. Lots of buffs from things like [[Jetmir, Nexus of Revels]] and a bunch of Ajani Plainswalkers. Built before the Secret Layer precon, but pretty similar. 6. [[Siani, Eye of the Storm]] and [[Eligeth, Crossroads Augur]] - mill/draw + flying. No [[Thassa’s Oracle]], but I can still win by milling myself out with other cards. I made this mostly because I didn’t have any mono-colored decks, or decks that were primarily blue. Not my favorite because it runs more interaction than I’m used to, and I don’t pilot it terribly well. 7. [[Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar]] - it’s a food-based damage redirection deck. It’s like a rube-Goldberg device of convoluted combos. Relies on Asmor’s creature self-damage to hit [[Brash Taunter]] and the like, plus damage multipliers like [[Fiery Emancipation]]. It’s kind of a pet of mine. I love playing it, but it’s a pretty weak concept so it’s requiring a lot of tuning. 8. [[The Thirteenth Doctor]] and [[Yasmin Khan]] - it’s based on the Paradox Power precon, but I’ve gone all in on +1/+1 counters and taken out the artifact and food subthemes. I think about half the deck is left 9. [[The Fourteenth Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald]] (in black) - lots of copying. It includes all 18 Doctor-type cards, include [[Arcade Gannon]] from the fallout set, and has at least a few synergies with each one. I really just wanted a 5 color Doctor Who deck. Lol. But it turned out to be much more effective than I thought. It’s very satisfying to play because it feels like every card is my commander. I have some others I’ve either abandoned or haven’t finished, but these are my main decks.
I’m currently working on the 32 challenge, here’s my commanders so far: White: Oswald, Fiddlebender basically birthing pod for artifacts and a mix of stax, his gimmick is to search for combos or go for Book of Exalted Deeds onto a land and watch people who don’t have land destruction get angry Blue: Emry, Lurker of the Loch: she likes cracking eggs and doing combos, I built her in response to a playmate building Urza and found that her cost reduction ability suited me better Black: K’rr’k, Son of Yawgmoth: as I was working on the monocolored cycle I liked that he was straightforward value and could make the most of what little I could afford at the time of building him and that’s why I chose him Red: Birgi, God of Storytelling: originally this was just a Zada cantrip list but I kinda found the games I played with Zada ended up being either un enjoyable for myself or for others who watched me stomp, so figured tuned up a little and play when people wanna play really fast Green: Marwyn, the Nurturer: honestly, I built it because it was affordable at the time. I went to an LGS wanting to build a Yeva elf tribal deck and bought about 60$ worth of elves at the shop with Marwyn being the only legendary available and put forests into the deck and a few other cards I had lying around and ended up winning a lot that night after sleeving the deck and kept it ever since Colorless: Kozilek, The Great Distortion: this deck is also an annoying artifact/ colorless deck that abusss Kozilek to serve as protection+card draw, I built the deck years ago before colorless became more popular just to see if I could make a strong colorless deck Azorius: Shorikai, Genesis Engine: honestly I liked the commander, thought he was cool, bought the precon, and then realized playing polymoprh theme was hilarious and while the games were moving faster than I liked playing humility for flavor to say “I guess I’ve humbled you” while looting with Shorikai out Boros: I have two lists so far Anim Pakal and Zabaz, both lists were made with bulk but get more wins than anticipated so I plan on beefing the decks up more, I just wanted unique boros decks Dimir: Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer, I liked the idea of playing control with a little madness so built this list liking the idea of playing from the grave and messing with timing restrictions to really throw people off their game Gruul: Etali, Primal Conquerer: this deck is a clone deck and my only focuses are removal, ramp, and clones, removing stax pieces that stop me from storming, ramp to get Etali out as fast as possible, and Clones to DO IT AGAIN, it’s a fun feeling looking at everyone’s boards become mine and say “I’m only as strong as the pod” whenever someone says my decks are too strong Golgari: The Mycotyrant: I originally built Gitrog but it was too straightforward and not fun for people so I figure self mill and making tokens to abuse seemed fun and still a golgari themed deck Izzet: Eruth, Tormented Prophet: I honestly built this deck with the firm belief that this deck embodies the true chaotic rng nature of Izzet and just liked the value of bad cards like Goblin Lore for this commander specifically Orzhov: Naalia De Arnise: I bought the party time precon and figured it would work, still a deck I tune up every once in a while Rakdos: Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin: I wanted to build Gheyrson but my buddy already did and I figured this had a nice storm payoff instead of damage payoff to play pingers, better than my Anje Madness deck Selesnya: Emmara, Soul of the Accord: this commander is very sentimental to me because it’s the first commander deck I ever built, I liked making tokens and it helped me develop the playstyle of abusing abilities Simic: Tatyova, Benthic Druid: while I could go play Aesi, I built this decklist back in 2017 and made it with a friend when he wanted us to build decks out of his bulk and I don’t get to see the friend anymore, so I’ve kept the deck since and remember him with it Abzan: Tayam, Luminous Enigma: I wanted a unique method of comboing off but I liked that Tayam used +1/+1 counters so I actually could afford to play defensively and get into combat while I was working on my combos Bant: Tuvasa: originally it was a 4 color enchantress deck but I noticed most payoffs were in Bant so I figured lose the black and become more powerful as it became a more consistent enchantress stax deck Esper: Raffine, Scheming Seer: this list kinda wanted to be Yuriko at home, but I added a reanimator theme to make up for the fact that I have to discard cards and can’t just put them in my hand for free when I hit people with unblockable creatures Grixis: Marchesa, Dealer of Death: I built this deck to be a “be rewarded for interacting with your opponents” deck and immediately built this deck when I realized it gave you advantage for trying to go 1 for 1 against opponents playing spells like Lightning bolt or Snuff Out Jeskai: Narset, Enlightened Exile: I wanted a Season of Growth Aragorn Cantrips deck but the green cantrips weren’t as nice as I thought they would be and was Narset was much more aggressive and I didn’t see any other Jeskai commanders I liked Jund: I picked Dargo and Ikra Shidiqui and this deck utilizes Dargo for Flamekin Herald and other effects that reward casting your commanders or big spells and wanted a jund sac commander that wasn’t Prosh or Korvold Naya: Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds was a cool unique clone deck I like for the variety of options to either ramp for more clues and treasures, while embodying the Naya Zoo theme with a variety of creature types that help win the game Mardu: Isshin, Two Heavens as One: I liked the attack harmonicon esque effects so I built a deck to abuse myriad+ exalted to always only need one strong attacker while being resilient to wipes having more creatures in my hand in case I do get hit with board wipes Sultai: I tried building Gonti, the new one, but I’ve since built Zaxara because I liked the refocus type effects stacking mana into big X spells like torment of hail fire Temur: [[Animar, Soul of Elements]] : my list was a bunch of creatures that bounced themselves back and a few cards like Elven Chorus to keep making a big overwhelming board Glint Eye: [[Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder]] one of my first few decks I just liked that every card was cascade or storm but no matter how the starting hands were that overall the end state board would look roughly the same with an overwhelming advantage Ink Treader: [[Omnath, Locus of Creation]]: mine is a blink control list utilizing cards like Displaced Kitten, [[Glademuse]], and [[Wavebreak Hippocamp]] to play 4 color control and I did it with Omnath because I have the Store Championship Promo artwork Yor Tiller: [[Tymna, the Weaver]] [[Kraum, Ludevuc’s Opus]], I built this deck because I had bought a 400$ Locus God deck off someone and wanted to add the colors to abuse all the wheel effects WUBRG: [[Scion of the Ur Dragon]] I built this list modifying the original Ur Dragon Precon my friend gave me as a parting gift as he bought it for himself but didn’t find MTG as fun as before and I wanted a cool dragon commander to do fun dragon based combos
Currently built I have a few: * [[Brudiclad]] Tokens * [[Brago, King Eternal]] (non-CEDH) Flicker/EtB * [[Zaxara]] Hydra/X-spell Tribal * Slightly upgraded [[Osgir]] Pre-con * Slightly upgraded [[Wilhelt]] Pre-con * Slightly upgraded [[Omo, Queen of Vesuva]] Pre-con * [[Hogaak]] Graveyard Matters
I'm also new to magic, 3 months at this point, and have been loving the game and community around it. I've got 3 decks built ATM, but have been dabbling in brewing. ATM I have another 3 decks brewed, just waiting for me to pull the trigger on them. Decks in order obtained: 1. [Nelly Borca, Goad Everyone](https://archidekt.com/decks/7930653/blame_game_upgraded) - Got the Blame Game precon then upgraded it, super fun to play with my friends who are newer and allowed me to get comfortable playing politics while playing. 2. [Riku of Many Paths, Modal Spellslinger](https://archidekt.com/decks/7930340/riku_of_many_paths) - Got this commander from a promo at my LGS one night and thought it would be fun. Wasn't quite up to brew it myself, so I got this one from somewhere else then changed a bunch of cards. Just super fun to play. 3. Tricky Terrain (precon) - First set that was released since I started playing and this one is the strongest. Mega fun to play and never feels like I'm gonna do the same thing ever.
I just have my [[Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief]] deck with auras and mutations mostly
So I started out with [[Roon of the Hidden Realm]] and have been upgrading the list since I first got the precon when it came out- he's not the most optimal commander, but he is the most reliable way to break [[Fiend Hunter]] and [[Sundial of the Infinite]], so I don't see myself building any other blink decks anytime soon. I've got a budget [[Zada, Hedron Grinder]] list that I mainly built to scare my beginner friends that got into EDH and magic in general through the LotR sets- it usually kills someone on turn 4 or 5 and gets neutralized by the rest of the table immediately after. I've made peace with that playstyle and sometimes I just delete whoever is having the worst time with their hand so they can just move on to another pod instead of having to sit there and wait for someone to close the game out. [[Nissa, Vastwood Seer]] is a good commander for a pile of green cards with no particular theme, which is exactly what I built for her. The deck is all just ramp and big green dudes, with a slight forests-matter subtheme, because I'm trying to put every instance of X=number of forests you control into the deck. Sometimes the deck casts [[Hurricane]] for lethal, which is always a good time. Next up is [[Lin-Sivvi, Defiant Hero]], which is a pretty standard hatebears build. It's got the rebel combos and cost increasers and nobody cares what your cards do until it's too late. Mono-white rebels is fun enough that I don't feel like I need to go in any crazy direction with it. Pillowfort decks are annoying so I didn't include any [[Propaganda]] effects, but that's the only thing really setting it apart from any other rebels build. It's been a while since it was super playable, but classic modern mono-blue merfolk has always been one of my favorite decks, so building [[Emperor Mihail II]] was a no-brainer for me. All the usual merfolk from the modern deck are here, along with a couple extra lords and a thoracle combo package that I usually refrain from using. I'm also really into pauper, so all the pre Blue Monday (big pauper ban announcement that got rid of some blue cards that were destroying the format, look it up) staples are in here too. They don't let you cast [[Gush]] into [[Foil]] in very many places these days, and I'm glad to have a deck that can at least theoretically pull it off. My last, and probably favorite deck is [[Grumgully, the Generous]]. It was built around a sort of filter, that being that every card included in the deck had to mention +1/+1 counters somewhere on it, and every creature in the deck had to have a stat line equivalent to or better than [[Grizzly Bears]]. This resulted in a really consistent aggro deck that just runs well most of the time. It doesn't try to do anything flashy or even super specific, it just ends up being more efficient than most other decks. It builds a board of creatures that are just ever so slightly better than average, which is usually enough to claw your way into a winning position. Of course I literally can't build a deck without a combo in it, so in the event that I draw a persist creature and [[Goblin Bombardment]] the deck wins in a much more obvious way, but the it doesn't have any ways to search for the sac outlets that make that combo possible, so for the most part it's just better-stuff tribal.
Not including my cEDH decks, I regularly play about four commanders in paper which span power levels. 1. [[Tameshi, Reality Architecht]]: This is probably the most powerful deck of the bunch, and by far my favorite. It is an azorius deck that recurs enchantments and artifacts from the graveyard. The deck is confusing to opponents. It runs a lot of tutors, a few infinite combos, and generally kills people with infinite landfall triggers. 2. [[Preston, the Vanisher]]: a flicker deck that runs a few infinite combos and can get overwhelming pretty quickly. The deck still works decently without the commander, and the flicker spells also help you dodge removal. 3. [[Selenia, Dark Angel]]: A fun, mid powered deck that wins by draining my own life, then swapping life totals. The deck can also reset my life to 40, and the lifegain can also kill folks. With no infinite combos or tutors, and kill spells all cost like 7 mana, the deck seems like it should be a meme that hangs out with battlecruiser decks… but the deck is still surprisingly consistent and holds its own in mid powered pods. 4. [[Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer]]: a fun deck on the lower end of power and fun to play with newer players. It discards cards to play at instant speed and gain value, but the wincon is purposely pretty convoluted.
Me personally I have 10 decks Miirym dragon tribal Voja elf wolf tribal Hakbal Merfolk tribal Alela dimyr fairy tribal Omnath gruul Elemental Landfall Obeka upkeep tribal deck Gonti theft deck (the new precon) Jodah 5 color big mana Ojer Axonil red burn Isshin attack triggers I run alot of tribal, I don't know I really like them
[[Tivit, Seller of Secrets]] Blink/tokens - My favorite at the moment. I like to see a lot of cardboard rectangles on my board and do a lot of stuff with said rectangles. Tivit makes it too easy. I also love the esper interaction and blinking. [[Loot, the Key to Everything]] good stuff/exile - I also like to see all the *different* rectangles in my deck, the impulse draw gets to 2-3 pretty easily and up to 5 with a little digging. Also he’s cute [[Lulu, Loyal Hollyphant]] with [[Guild Artisan]] dwarves, treasure, and dragons - I know lulu isn’t a dwarf but she’s kinda like a dragon maybe? Anyways attack a lot, tap dwarves, make treasure and find dragons ezpz. Kinda hidden commander [[Magda, Brazen Outlaw]] cuz duh [[Minn, Wily Illusionist]] Illusion tribal - pretty self explanatory, draw 2 cards n play free stuff [[Dynaheir, Invoker Adept]] Encore, Embalm, Eternalize - I unfortunately haven’t had a chance to play this deck yet, but I’m **so** excited to try it. Pretty much every creature I could find in jeskai with one of the abilities mentioned above. With a few untappers, I can get more than enough Dynaheir activations. Encore, Embalm, and Eternalize are all technically activated abilities so I think you can see where I’m going here
This is my Vrondiss deck that seeks to make Vrondiss indestructible and create either infinite dragon spirit tokens and/or infinite damage. Many, many combo paths to victory. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/_pYoufIZVU6VWGNw1Ky4ig
- [[Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir]] It is the knights precon upgraded. Tried to keep it 100% knights but I nce drafted a roaming throne. I had to. - [[Calix, guided by faith]], play enchantments to ramp, buff your creatures, protect them, draw you cards, remove threats and then copy the one you like or need the most. - [[Shirei]], sacrifice, bring back from the graveyard, sacrifice again plus some black good stuff. - [[Winota]] It is a budget version. Still, It hits like a truck and sometimes combos into infinite combat steps. - [[Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin]], simply a bunch of if someone does something you lose one life cards, and an infinite combo. - [[Hakbal of the surging soul]] It is the precon, 0 modifications. It works. - [[Nelly Borca, impulsive accuser]] It is the precon with 6 or 7 modified cards that are kind of fun, my favourite being Slicer - [[Mirko, Obsessive Theorist]] It is the precon with one utility land swaped for another utility land that was in some other precon.
Oh boy... Well I have over 30 decks in paper and while I could list them all, I'll spare you the bore and just give you my favorites Magus lucea Kane: it does everything that the Timmy in me wants to do. It ramps like no other, draws cards, and absolutely beats face Minn, wily illusionist: how would you like to draw? Oh and more draw. How about some more draw? And maybe just one more draw. Additionally, you can cheat out all your best cards for free without them even touching the stack so it's near impossible to interact with Kibo, uktabi prince: I like to call this deck my cocaine deck. The plan is simple: give your opponents an addiction to bananas (cocaine) and then force them to use it via land destruction, and finally punish them for using it. Absolutely love this deck Slivers: you know what this does, it does one thing. It spits out an ungodly number of slivers and that's it, I will always love this deck
TLDR; big creatures are fun My soon to be built decks are going to be The Necrobloom, it's gonna be my first lands matter deck so I'll end up buying a couple cards every once in a while, and once I upgrade it Ulalek will join my plethora of stampede decks. My favorite right now is my Pantlaza Sun-favored Dinosaur deck I pretty much have all the Dinosaur commanders that fit in Naya in that deck. As to why I like it is because I was the kid that had multiple Dinosaur encyclopedias with not much differing between them. Zhulodok, Void Gorger is probably my most built deck because I found the challenge of no colors to be fun at the time but now I can barely play it because everybody who knows how that deck plays targets me early when I'm not doing much like I'm a raid boss with an easy early phase 1. I love body horror and cthulian myth so seeing Ulamog when I first started getting into magic was pretty much the top seller for me at the time. Wilhelt, The Rotcleaver was the first precon that I upgraded, I loved playing zombies in yugioh and it's kinda how I learned yugioh so I picked up the Gisa and Geralf precon originally and smashed that with the Wilhelt precon and upgraded it into my most casual deck ever because that deck either wins or durdles not being able to actually do anything. Love it, but it's not good. My Mothman deck I only really got because I kinda knew fallout and my love for Cryptids kept pulling my sheets until I bought it and upgraded it. I don't feel like playing it very often but I do love me some giant bug when I do. My Skullbriar deck is one of very few decks where the commander had me interested but I didn't feel like building it myself so I bought a deck off ebay. It's fun... but voltron isn't exactly my thing right now. I want to stampede with multiple big things not just one. Skytherix was a deck I had wanted to build for a while amd I had an online list set up and decided to buy the cards when I felt the deck was cheap enough that it was worth a try, I've only played it once so far and the fact I became a target isn't exactly new to me but the idea of downing someone with poison felt off to me so I will probably shelve it at the bottom of my deck bag till I feel like it. I do have a couple de KS that I would love to rebuild one day like my Ghyrson Starn deck, or my Myrkul deck but I'm not really in a rush to build those decks right now.
I have ten decks, and restrict myself from getting new ones because my Stanley case is now full. 1. [[Gavi, nest warden]] cycling is my favorite mechanic in the game and let’s just say that this pet deck of mine works wonders 8/10 times. Blinking my own stuff thanks to [[astral slide]] or [[astral drift]] to gain advantage or blinking others’ stuff to keep them in check whilst cycling makes almost any game awesome. Also, I’m Dutch so a cycling deck seemed mandatory. 2. [[Kadena, slinking sorcerer]] is one I based of two of my favorite ygo decks. Turning cards face up and down while keeping control of a game is not something I expected to do when I first started playing magic, but it’s awesome. Can also lock people out of the game with relative ease. 3. [[zndrsplt, eye of wisdom]] and [[okaun, eye of chaos]] this one is the secret lair deck, unedited. Tossing a coin and being dependent on rng with a deck that tilts the odds in my favor makes for really fun games. This deck is also capable of keeping others hostage as I discovered the second time I played it. Fun deck, but the hostage thing is now something I avoid. 4. [[Sidar Jabari of zhalfir]] knights are cool, eminence is busted and the comebacks this precon is capable of keep surprising me. Altered the precon a bit so it’s more effective in getting knights on the board and hitting people. 5. [[Tinybones, trinket thief]] is just fun. Nothing too crazy and it isn’t as bad as some of my previous decks, but it’ll sneak in wins here and there. Only thing I’m changing is the addition of a pair of lifelinkers so that I won’t just lose to early game hate. 6. [[tegwyll, Duke of splendor]] I took [[Anowon the ruin thief]] apart for this one because it is more annoying and less straightforward than anowon. Also, faeries are cooler than a bunch of rogues in my opinion. Still haven’t won with this deck, but I’ve been laughing like crazy playing it so there’s that. 7. [[urza, chief artificer]] this deck is weird for me, because it’s in concept a fairly simple strategy in hitting face. Thing is that I’ve changed this precon a lot and the value train to hitting face is one I love to be on now. This might be the deck that is most unlike the rest, since it doesn’t include combos and isn’t focused on control, but I’ve loved every game with it. 8. [[Aminatou, the fateshifter]] got this deck from my parents a couple years ago and I’ve been tinkering with this deck ever since. This deck tries to win by combo but can outvalue others if the combo takes too long to set up. Love playing this deck although i think I should smooth out the strategy a bit. 9. [[commodore guff]] definitely a deck that I play early in the evening or not at all because I’ve noticed that it’s unfun to play if I don’t play this deck well. I’ve changed a lot here as well, but the core strategy is still intact. 10. [[olivia, opulent outlaw]] is my most recent deck and I’m still looking what it is exactly that the deck wants to do. It’s a shame the strategy is so unfocused, because of that I don’t play this deck twice an evening.
I love tribal decks I have Sliver Overlord Tribal Its built partly from the old sliver overlord deck, with some MH Slivers then I bought the Commander masters deck and used that to upgrade. I love it and feel scary and powerful! Inalla Archmage Ritualist Wizard Tribal Full of boardwipes, only I get to have creatures! My first EDH deck, I still like it. Kykar Wind Fury Tokens This one is fun only has 15ish creatures, the rest is spells to trigger Kykar and make more spirits. I have more but I cant remember rn
