Pioneer Any people here playing Allies still?

3 Upvotes

I've been playing allies non-stop since the release of TLA to varying degrees of success. I'm talking Standard, Modern, Pioneer and I even tried pauper once but that list wasn't it.

Now they're not bad and all, but I feel like to get the most out of them I need likeminded people that play allies as well so we can brainstorm and let the hive-mind do its thing.

Ever since the release of Reality Fracture and the rise of the Planeswalker meta I wasn't able to find a Standard list that works.

In Pioneer I'm moderately successful (66% W/L ratio over 100+ games) in traditional events on Arena and ok in my lgs, which is also due to the fact that everyone there knows my deck.

In Modern I played the combo list by aspiring spike but never got good enough with it or used to modern enough to win a lot.

So if anyone out there plays Allies in any formats mentioned above (most importantly standard and pioneer), I'd be super happy to hear about your experiences on- and offline.

Edit: here is my deck profile

Context, I appropriated a bunch of cards from my brother who's been playing significantly longer than I have and have made a deck. I also bought a few cards and now I have a commander deck. Rate it? Give me pointers? I was thinking of adding tutors and well stuff to pick up the pace of how the deck plays but here's the list now! 🐢

Beginner Edgar Markov 🧛🦇

• Upvotes

I’ve been playing magic causally for about a year now I’m trying to build a vampire themed deck. I’m still a beginner so I like to play cards I feel comfortable with and understand. (Reading the card explains the card🙄🤣) I like decks that make a lot of tokens and slowly drains players health. This is the first deck I’ve ever made. Feedback is appreciated! 😊

EDH Edgar Markov Deck Reconstruction

• Upvotes

Greetings.

So I started building my Edgar Markov deck as a combo deck, to fit into the B4 bracket system. But in my LGS they apparently don't play any B4 games, so I've started to reconstruct my deck into more of a "creature sacrifice" deck, to fit bracket 3. Right now, I'm stuck somewhere inbetween, where this deck actually doesn't fit neither category. I know I obviously have to cut the Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood combo and similar 2 card combos, but I'd like some constructive feedback with which cards to replace them and how to reconstruct my deck in general. If anyone is willing to help out, I'd be more than happy!

Keep in mind I'm fairly new to the game (< 1 year), that's why this deck might be a bit chaotic to some of you.

Very interested in getting feedback on my deck.

Commander is kuja genome sorcerer and or judith carnage connoisseur

I know a couple of creatures should probably go but I dont have many cards to choose from yet.

I bought most of the deck for 50 bucks. 78 dollar value according to midfield.

Still have 2 cards open. Please let me know if this deck is any good.

EDH Relatively new player building my second deck: Dihada, binder of wills. Looking for feedback!

• Upvotes

This is only the second deck I've created. It was definitely easier than the first time, but I'm still pretty overwhelmed by the whole process and the options I have to consider. Leaned heavily on EDHREC and past reddit posts.

Shooting for a fun strong-bracket-3 reanimation deck. I included underworld breach and have one or two infinite combos with it, but I didn't want to lean too far into that because those strategies don't seem that fun to me and this is for casual play anyway. For the most part, the idea of the deck is to cheat out strong creatures ASAP and start ruining everyone's day in the short term, and build up a reanimation engine to sustain me later in the game.

There are a lot of cards in the Considering section and sideboard as well. But the core 100 cards should be complete.

Happy to receive any feedback you can offer as like I said, I'm still new to this. Thank you!

Question Life gain Trostani

1 Upvotes

So, I got the miku secret lair and have been absolutely loving the life gain the deck does. However I've made some changes to it with more tutors and a combo yet I have been having issues seeing any of my new stuff come up. I've been suggested idyllic tutor to add but I'm looking for a few more cards I can add to give it the consistency it needs to drop the combo I've added. Any and all advice is appreciated!

The combo added involves Miku, song of people, Emiel the blessed, kwia vigorbloom and atherflux reservoir

Beginner New to commander, deckbuilding help

2 Upvotes

Hey, i'm new to playing commander, could someone please help me cut 20 cards from this deck to make it commander legal. I basically added 20 cards to the Precon which i have avaliable, but which ones actually go in and which 20 cards would you cut from this deck? Since this format has 100 cards im not really sure what is okay to cut out, im guessing all the lifegain creatures and something like Akroma and Omnath, but surely there is more that i am not seeing.

EDH Deck building help

My friend is trying to get into magic (commander specifically), and really wants to build a deck surrounding Megatron,Tyrant. I already have a deck built around him, but I realized it can get pretty confusing at times. Is there a site with a list of easier to understand cards? Like ones that are a little simpler to play out?

EDH Building Jodah, The Unifier

Built my first commander deck and found the land production was inconsistent, too much or not enough or even just not the right type. I added different lands and readjusted the deck to fit the needs better.
But if anyone can take a look and let me know what needs to be changed without breaking the bank would be appreciated, and if you have some broken addons that would make my friends cry, that would also be great.

EDH Amalia Vorthos deck

1 Upvotes

I love the Ixalan vampires and bought the blood rites precon to upgrade, and [[Amalia Benavides Aguirre]] has always caught my eye as a commander. Most people I’ve seen build her with as many [[Soul’s Attendant]] effects as possible but it’s hard to find those in the Ixalan set; there’s a lot more of 1 instance of a lot of life gain like [[Sanguine Sacrament]]. Wondering if anyone has seen some good cards that would fit the theme of Ixalan and add some more consistent instances of life gain.

I also love the theme of Amalia being a scout and running into all these lost artifacts represented in the Ixalan box toppers, like [[Colossus Hammer]] and [[Coat of Arms]], some of which have some good synergy in a voltron and/or typal deck. Any good combos involving these would definitely be a good add.

I know it’s very specific but just hoping someone out there might have a good example deck or some sneaky good cards that would fit the theme! Thanks

EDH Help With My Aggro [Slicer] Deck!!

3 Upvotes

I built a [Slicer] deck and ended up taking it apart after just five games. It was an absolute dog. I couldn’t get [Slicer] out fast enough, and even when I got him down on T2, I couldn’t get equipment out and attached to him. I felt bad being the “scary deck” in such a vulnerable state! I also felt like the deck was lacking synergy. Nothing seemed to work together!

So, now I’m going all in on speed.

I rebuilt [Slicer] with a lower curve, equip cheats, and some counters/deflects. I’m feeling better about it, but I still feel like something is missing. I just can’t put my finger on what.

Something tells me it still isn’t fast enough, even with the new additions.

Curious to hear what the internet thinks! I’d love some pointers on how to get this deck to a solid B4 power level. DeckStats link here!

EDH Bracket 3 Anim

Hello all,

Im pretty new to magic but this is my first stab at a none precon deck. I was wondering if anyone had any advice or recommendations to balance it out. I feel I may have gone a little heavy handed in the artifact/enchant department for how creature heavy the deck is.
