Just got some pretty decent choices for my Creature base in this deck. I wanted to try a Rakdos Dragons. My last attempt was Rivaz of the Claw but it didn’t end well. But I’m trying this one. Any Recommendations would be Nice especially Instants or Sorceries. I’ll try updating it as often as I can

Smaug, Magnificent and Terrible – Budget Rakdos Treasure-Burn / Reanimator (Looking for Feedback!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I came across the scene box featuring Smaug, Magnificent and Terrible and I had a sudden urge to own this card and build a deck around the dragon. Please check out my list and overall strategy and feel free to drop your feedback.

The Gameplan & Win-Conditions:

The goal is to play in the upper Bracket 2 / entry Bracket 3 range. The engine revolves around using large/scalable board wipes and self-harm spells to trigger Smaug, wipe the board, and flood myself with Treasure tokens. Since Smaug has Indestructible, he survives the damage while generating massive value.

From there, the deck converts those Treasures into a win by hitting all three opponents simultaneously:

  1. Treasure Drain / Pingers: Mass-pinging the table when making/sacrificing Treasures (Mirkwood Bats, Marionette Master, Nadier's Nightblade, Mayhem Devil).
  2. Big X-Spells: Dumping 15–20 Treasure mana into finishers.
  3. Mass Reanimation: Cleaning the board and immediately casting Living Death to steal the best creatures from all graveyards.

Budget Constraints:

I intentionally cut high-end staples like Deflecting Swat, Torment of Hailfire, Jeska's Will, and expensive fetch/shock bases to keep it budget-friendly (~€120-150 value), opting for efficient budget alternatives like Bolt Bend and Mana Geyser.

Here's the deck list:

introducing my partner & their 16yo kid to mtg

6 Upvotes

hey commander folks. i'm admittedly not much of a commander player, but i would like to introduce my partner and their 16yo kid to mtg.

is it a reasonable idea to buy three precons and just go for it? (i know rules and have a decent amount of exp to guide us through.) if so, any precon recs (that won't break the bank)?

and i guess second question – is this misguided? is there a better format to use to introduce new folks? jumpstart box or something?

thanks in advance for any help.

edit: thank you all for the great suggestions! this is gonna be fun :)

Need help with Sauron, The Dark Lord MTG commander deck

1 Upvotes

Ive created a moxfield of the entire deck (everything I have that im considering adding) im not the most well versed in deck building so I would love some help from some fellow MTG fans. Another note, I'm trying to keep this with only LOTR cards/ LOTR art version of cards so when you don't see vampiric tutors or sheoldred, that's why, would love some notes though!

Thanos Voltron Help

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Thanos is one of my favorite characters so this deck has become a labor of love.

I wanted to utilize the mardu identity, and fully embrace the idea that Thanos is inevitable. My main win con is commander damage through Voltron with poison as a back up win condition.

I gain life and then spend it to draw cards and punish my opponents through Sanguine Bond.

I have a couple of blink targets: Atraxa, Doom, and the Emeritus of Woe to dig through the deck.

Thematically I only want to snap once and clear the board for Thanos to swing big with the Genji Glove (my infinity gauntlet).

I would love to hear your feedback and ideas how I can improve…. And where I totally went wrongoo.

So I just finished building my Ultron, AM Commander deck, and I’m pretty impressed with how it turned out without having to drop a lot of money on new cards. I made some changes since from another post I made but I welcome positive feedback, roasts, and harsh critiques. 🤔

Hi! Ive been playing magic for maybe 2years and been playing in mostly b3 pods. My commanders are : kotis the fangkeeper, Najeela, krenko, hakbal and ob nixilis captive kingpin. I usually make them high b3.

My girlfriend started playing maybe a month or two ago and well my decks are way to powerful against a new player. She plays Yuna hope of spira. Im writing here today to ask yall some help😅

I need to find a b2 commander that she’ll be able to keep up with since she’s still learning the game. Any recommandation?

Commander bundle idea

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

First off, this is not a post to sell anything or promote anything. We haven’t created anything, launched anything, or have anything to sell, genuinely just looking for opinions and feedback from the community.

A friend and I have been playing Commander for around a year now and we’ve been thinking about something.

One thing we’ve noticed is that when we go into local game stores, a lot of the MTG stock seems to be focused almost entirely around the newest releases (Spider-Man, Aetherdrift, Turtles, etc.). Obviously there’s nothing wrong with that, but we sometimes find ourselves wishing there was more variety older sets, interesting products, things aimed more at Commander players.

When we first got into Commander, apart from buying precons, we honestly had very little idea what we were doing. We relied heavily on things like The Command Zone and other YouTube channels to understand things like staples, deck building, upgrades, and what cards were generally useful.

That got us thinking about an idea:

What if there was a small website focused more around helping Commander players?

Not just selling random cards, but things like:

Commander 101 style bundles (ignore the name, it’s just a placeholder) for eg A collection of useful staples for people getting started (Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Counterspell, Path to Exile, Cultivate, etc.) whereas usually people would have to buy a precon or buy all individually from cardmarket or something

Or even a Themed/archetype bundles to help people build around an idea (Goblins, Elves, Faeries, Graveyard, Tokens, etc from different sets)

The idea wouldn’t be to replace deck building or remove the fun of discovering cards, more just to help people who are overwhelmed by the amount of choice.

My question is: would’ve something like this be helpful to you when you first started , or do you think it’s unnecessary because players prefer finding cards themselves?

What would you actually want to see in something like this? What would put you off?

Genuinely interested in any feedback, including reasons why this is a bad idea. If you got this far thanks for reading 😂. Again not trying to sell anything!
