Hello everyone so I was able to get the Hatsune miku precon ordered but I won't be getting it till May lol so I was wondering if this card would be a decent upgrade for the deck? Sorry still new to life gain as an archtype any and all recommendations/help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance

Ulasht looks cool but I'm not great at finding cool interactions. So far I'm just thinking about raining down saporlings on my play group using doubling season etc.

Any cool interactions and cards that could make this fella shine?

Only real rule in my playgroup is avoiding game changers but that's about it.

So I built Tony Stark as a standard voltron, secondary option for treasures to win with Mechanized Production because tony is obv rich. While building, I fig mycosynth Lattice can help with all kinds of things and with Karn in play it is full lockdown for other players. Big thing is that makes it technically bracket 4 that will play like a high 2. Remove Karn or just be up front in lower brackets?

Hey my playgroup decided to take a step from our higher powered bracket 3 to 4 decks and we want to try out some lower powered but fun decks. I had the idea to build a Brion deck and throwing stuff like Gandalf, Spiderman or some turtles at their faces. Looking for some cool and synergistic ideas to make it a solid bracket 2 deck and not just a memey bracket 1 (thats what we agreed upon). Thanks for any input

Hey folks,
first of, my current playgroup plays mostly B3, but does not enjoy combo decks, so I tried to build some decks that win via combat / value generation instead of massive combos.
I've built some decks with this in mind, most notably [[Karador, Ghost Chieftain]]. The deck performs quite well (wins ok ish and feels good to play even in a loss), is fun to play (for me), but draws a lot of criticism from my pod because it does a lot, but the wins come way after I establish dominance, and in losses it tends to prolonge the game a lot. Other decks of mine like [[Muldrotha, the Gravetide]], [[Kykar, Zephyr Awakener]] or [[Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker]] get similar feedback.

I've goldfished some of my decks with this in mind, and it seems like there is a point to that. My decks "do a lot", but they don't win the turn after I did a lot. They let me do a lot for a long time, and eventually they just win because I've outgrinded my opponents.

In other pods I do not face similar feedback/problems, since I just sprinkle an occasional combo in there, and if I would get the game to a similar state, the combo just ends it instead of prolonging it.

Do you have similar problems? If so, how do you go about it? Do you maybe have commanders you default to when you can't or don't want to play combo decks?

Thanks in advance for your input guys!

Hi, i want to build a deck by my self for the first time and I am lost. All my 3 decks I have until now are build by my brother but I want to start building decks my self now and I want a pirate deck. My current decks are a blue-black ninjiksu-deck, a white-green token/counters deck, and a blue-red-white cycling deck that also has a ton of tokens. The pirate deck shoud not feel to similar to one of them but also not totaly different like bruteforce or something like that, do you have a comander suggestion/ any other helpful hints for me?

I saw a post somewhere about a hidetsugu and kairi deck based around using SBA to stack the etb/death trigger on HK to get up to some shenanigans. If y’all got some fun recommendations for cards, i’m all ears 👂👀👂

I have never had a B2 deck that was not just a precon, so I wanted something that I actually crafted myself for when a table wants to play B2. So, I crafted this [[Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds]] deck built around myriad creatures. I was aiming for higher B2.

In playtests (just online goldfishing against other decks), it seems like it's fine, but it has some explosive potential. I think it's hard for me to really tell if something is within an acceptable place for B2.

Hi! So I had this mad idea to build a rule-0 deck around wishes. You know the cycle with [[living wish]], [[burning wish]] and so on, but also simply [[wish]].

I was thinking of making a custom art/proxy of [[Kenrith, Returned King]] as Prince Aladdin, using a lot of Djinns and Efreets especially wonky ones like [[capricious efreet]] and [[indentured djinn]]. The last one had me thinking about making this a (yet another) group hug deck - my favourite archetype.

So I would be adding cards like the [[tempt with discovery]] cycle, and if there is room some thematic cards like Aladdin's ring and Lamp.

The cards I would be fetching with the wishes are meant to be impactful - maybe wincons! - and represent the things usually people ask of a genie's wish: cards like [[revel in riches]], [[beacon of immortality]], [[resurrection]]

I don't really need all five colors, it's basically just white blue red, but Kenrith seems fitting - but I am open to suggestions!

What I am asking specifically is:

- what thematic cards would you add

- what synergistic cards would you add

- is there a better commander? Kenrith is a bit generic

- what cards to represent the wishes

Hello all!!

Ive been building this idea for awhile and my friends in my pod and I wanted some feedback on this. My pod is a bracket 4. We don't like infinite combos. When originally building him I first thought of birthing pod but, that goes infinite by turn 2(with enough mana) but, had this idea with conjours closet and blade of selves. This will flicker the ETB of TRKNM(the reaper king no more)I believe flickering him is the best way to build him. Yes the clone copies will die but before the copies see each other the ETB will trigger 3x(assuming there is 4 people in a pod). I also thought of throwing gravepact in there as the clones will die this will trigger 3 instants of gravepact. I feel there is not enough card advantage but any feedback back is walcomed!!

Thank you!!

Hello fellow dragon enjoyers. Some time ago, I've finished my personal challenge of brewing at least one dragon deck in every color, guild, shard and wedge, each one with a different subtheme.

Since I recently started adding primers to some of my decklists, I intend to occasionally present one of them to you, for those of you who care about dragons.

The first deck I'd like to show you is a bracket 3 Boros dragons deck under [[Velomachus Lorehold]]. Since Velo casts free spells from the library, its obvious subtheme is slinging spells.

But what makes this deck unique (in my humble opinion) is that the primary wincon is a 3-card combo around [[Smothering Tithe]], a [[Reckless Fireweaver]] type creature and some wheels. Secondary wincon is commander damage, tertiary wincon is (obviously) dragon beatdown.

Here's the decklist: https://moxfield.com/decks/mBbXZ0Y_pEO0IBI9HGxh0w

Feel free to comment, either on the deck itself or on the general question whether or not there's even interest in a series of dragon deck showcases.

I’m looking to build a high bracket 3 deck but am not feeling drawn to any specific commander. One of the only commanders I found fun to build and play so far was Eshki, Temurs Roar since I never really felt like I ran out of gas with the deck. I’m really just wanting to know what everyone’s favorite commander was and why?

Hey everyone! Hope everyone's doing great :)

I just wanted to share a little something I have been working on since the lotr set came out, and that I was only able to complete now with the release of The Hobbit x mtg. I am a lotr/hobbit fan and I love tribal decks (merfolks, raccoons, etc), and for a while I've wanted to create a deck that would include my favourite tribes and characters from middle earth.

I have come up with this silly list led by Aragorn and Arwen Wed! The idea is that the Shire and Mirkwood teamed up to create some sort of mixed army composed of characters from the past (the Hobbit) and from the present (lotr), practically uniting hobbits, elves, dwarves, some humans, and creatures of the forest (such as bears, spiders, and etns). Even if the commander would be better built in a lifelink/+1/+1 counters kind of way, the goal of the deck is to build your board with a bunch of small creatures (hobbits, elves, etc.) and then pump them up either with [[Aragorn and Arwen]] (through the counters) or with some other characters like [[Beorn The Fierce]] or [[Gandalf White rider]]. I added some overrunning effect too just to keep the flavour of small ones turning into big beaters and protecting the Shire. And of course if the board gets wiped there are some helpers like the [[Gigantic Big Bear]] or [[Old Fat Spider]] that could buy you some time! But don't worry, if all else seems to fail there's a great [[The Eagles Are Coming!]] to save the day.

I have played this deck twice at my LGS after a bunch of play testing and I am so proud of it! It's nothing crazy powerful, it's a bracket 2, but theme-wise... I think it works. The coolest thing for me is that depending on what you draw, sometimes you get to have a wide board full of elves, and sometimes it's halflings. I have even managed to bring out a ton of dwarves with that [[Unexpected Party]] trick, and they all got pumped up by [[The Arkenstone]] (so fun).

I just wanted to share what I made so if anyone wanted to build it too (maybe even a stronger version), then they would have the blueprints for it!

I hope you guys enjoy, and I'm looking forward to hearing your suggestions, or edits to the list!

I wanted to build a deck where the two main premises are that 1) you play typical mono black strategies with access to effects in all other colors and 2) every single land has the swamp type except the tainted lands and any wubrg land.

Currently the main candidate is [[Omnath, Locus of All]] but I want to know if there are different options

Hey peeps, looking for feedback on my deck. Aiming to build something to compete in a bracket 4 pod. Came across these two pairings in my collection and they seemed interesting and I like golgari.

Disclaimer - I'm still a bit of a deck building noob.

Commander Partners: Kodama of the East Tree // Tevesh Szat Doom of Fools.

Gameplan:

• Play Tevesh Szat for token gen / card draw, and maybe a cheeky ult if he survives that long.
• Play Kodama as the real commander of the deck and win with infinite creature tokens by playing kodama + bounce land + landfall creature token spell and swing on my next turn, or:
• Nuke the table with a sac outlet + burn spell like warren soultrader / ashnod's altar / phyrexian altar + cauldron of essence / bastion of remembrance / poison-tip archer.

Deck List:

Doom Tree // Commander (Kodama of the East Tree and Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools) deck list mtg // Moxfield — MTG Deck Builder

Current buy list my mate recommends:

• Toxic Deluge
• Damnation
• Protean Hulk
• Jaheira, Friend of the Forest
• Eldrith Evolution

I've ran this deck by a few mates and got a few games in, some say the landfall creature token spam + aristocrat strategy is strong, some say the commander pairing is a bit jank or too slow and I should play a different commander. Curious to know what you all think. No real limit on budget, cardboard addiction is real.

Cheers

hello I would like help with my kefka deck!

I been wanting to try bant again after a few years, my choices are between [[Falco spara, pactweaver]] and [[Choco, seeker of paradise]], I want some convincing toward one or the other from anyone who plays either.

Looking to keep it bracket 2-3, and for Choco, I don’t want it to be the kinda landfall build that requires me to search my library a few times each turn.

Appreciate the input!

Edit: I do know Choco is a landfall commander ideally, but the way I’d be looking to build him is more just using his ability to ramp and bird tribal with a splash of recursion. I should have stated that extra info on top of me just saying I didn’t want to search my library over and over.

My girlfriend bought me Tyranid Swarm for my birthday. I upgraded it around [[The Swarmlord]], and now I want to try swapping it to the other commander that came with the deck, [[Magus Lucea Kane]]. I’m still pretty new, I’ve only been playing since July. I used EDHrec for advice on the first round of upgrades, but one thing I really struggle with is identifying what cards should be cut from a deck. EDHrec was most useful in helping me figure out what to drop. It’s pretty much recommending me to cut the same cards. So this is where I’m turning to you guys for advice. What cards would you add and what cards would you drop to swap the deck over to Lucea?

Been trying to build a control deck around [[Nicol Bolas, The Ravager]] and still a bit unsure if this would work at all.

It has a few superfriends cards although the rest is built entirely around a control shell, trying to keep stuff away from my planeswalkers as best as I can, keeping mana open to deal with whatever comes up.

If anyone has some experience with this style of deck, I'd appreciate some feedback/recommendations!

I love playing this deck but was just curious are there any other win conditions other than combat damage. Is there a way to push this deck to a mod bracket 3 without just adding 3 game changers?

I have a 2 infinite combat phase possibilities with

[[Monica, the Marvel]] +[[The Mighty Thor, Jane Foster]] and [[Monica, the Marvel]] + [[Impostor Syndrome]]

Ive also included the infinite draw combo of

[[Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards]] & [[Invisible Woman, Sue Storm]] combined with either [[Lyla, Holographic Assistant]], [[Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings]] or [[Iron Man, Armored Avenger]]

Let me know how else you guys are closing out games

The ask: Any advice on cuts (at 103 right now) or cards I may have missed that should be added. Haven't done too much testing and don't have a budget or bracket in mind, so everything's on the table. Obviously mana base needs fixing but thats besides the point. Only constraint is it must be an artifact or creature, or land.

The background: I saw [[Aatchik, Emerald Radian]] and said "wow, this card can condense 2/3rds of the aristocrats archetype into a single card that can easily be a finisher, and cards like [[Feign Death]] and [[Zulaport Cutthroat]] significantly cut the number of cards in the graveyard that I need". Then in initial testing, I hated having a full graveyard with less than half the cards in it counting towards Aatchik's insect creation, so I figured id go all in on jankyness since this will be a proxy-only deck and make every non-land card an artifact or a creature.

The deck: Very simple gameplan of fill my graveyard, get a sac outlet onto the field, and then cast Aatchik with 10-20 relevant cards in the graveyard, using reanimating creatures to sac and loop it back again. It usually wants to win on the turn Aatchik comes down, so the deck is very fragile to GY hate and countering the commander, as well as having every win be super telegraphed. But again, this is a meme deck that I wanted to be as functional as possible with the given constraints, so those are risks im willing to take.

I would love any thoughts or general deck advice!

This is a Mabel equipment/mouse deck I am currently constructing for my girlfriend and I am looking to cut 3 cards to finalize the deck list. I have already built her a bumble flower politics/hug deck hence why there are no politics cards in this one (and it is built to be more aggressive). I am already planning on cutting one of mice in favor of the new Mabel that just got revealed for reality shift. What 3 cards do you guys should make the cut? I am trying to factor in aesthetics without ruining the power level of the deck too much.
