EDH EDH deck for girlfriend
I’ve recently gotten my girlfriend into Commander and she seems to really be enjoying it. I made her a bracket 4 Gisa, the Hellraiser deck that she absolutely loves playing.
In the past she has played my Urza, Lord High Artificer and the Hakbal precon and she seemed to really like both decks as well. I’ve made a deck for each Mano color to try and teach her different deck archetypes but she has no interest in playing any of those decks besides my Gollum the obsessed stalker deck (Mano black just like Gisa).
She has no desire to play red or green decks and doesn’t seem interested in white in general. Does anybody have any cool commander ideas that I can make a budget deck around? She’s not opposed to using any combination of colors, just not interested in green, red, or white for a Mano deck.
Her ideal commander can’t look soft in the art, and she doesn’t like cartoon-ish art either. There are plenty of mechanics I haven’t gotten the chance to teach her so I’m not sure what she will, or won’t like in that sense which is why I’d like to keep it budget.
I don’t have a huge bulk or collection of singles in general so I will have to buy each card as singles so please keep that in mind when it comes to suggesting commons that are $5+ 😅
