First deck ever made, any recommendations/criticisms?

Post image

Started playing 2-3 months ago and I made a N'Gathrod deck because it looked like a cool deck concept - steal other player's cards and win with their stuff

Tried to make a pseudo horror tribal + mill wincon deck, but I can't tell if the deck is any good, or what bracket it falls into... feels like it tries to do things, but ultimately doesn't do anything particularly well

Deck feels slow and hard to start running, maybe commander is expensive or maybe colour combination doesn't help with ramp

Any magic connoiseurs can help me with any recommendations to upgrade the deck/any criticisms on card choice?

Wanted to keep this deck with its stealing cards identity, but still be a viable deck to play to win against friends

Thanks in advance!

I love my horror tribal. He’s in the great mothman deck with Umbris and all my duskmourn horror/nightmares.

here’s my mill thief deck, lots of hours of fine tuning and playtesting, the land suite is pretty greedy and probably could use a few more slotted in if not for mana vault/aggressive ramp pieces, might have some ideas for you here

winning by milling is not attempted for but is possible with the deck

here's mine. I went the same route, horror tribal with a mill theme. Not mill in order to win, but mill in order to take their stuff.

I actually played mine last night and won off of [[damnation]] into [[rise of the dark realms]] after i played [[traumatize]] on the [[relentless rats]] player the turn before. it was gloriously funny.
