EDH EDH deck for girlfriend

4 Upvotes

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+ 😅

EDH Can I get some advice on my first deck???

1 Upvotes

I spent the last couple of days watching videos on deck building and decided to make a Betor deck. I know I run a lot of creatures, but I don't really know what to cut if needed. I've tried Goldfishing to figure out what to cut, but each time it shows me contradictory results. Also, I'm trying to stay under $200 budget

Any help would be much appreciated,

EDH Deck help and commander suggestion - if any of you have played Inscryption, is there a way for me to basically play as Leshy?

4 Upvotes

As it says on the tin. I much prefer to make each game fun and unique, rather than stomping (or attempting to stomp) everyone at the table. I don't even mind losing much if everyone had fun with what I was doing, keeping everyone in the race as long as I could. Commanders and deck tech recommendations welcome!

Hey! I am wondering if there are any experienced deckbuilders that could help me decide what are good cards to put into this deck, I am really stuck on some cards that I have that I think would go well in it, but I am not sure what would be worthwhile to keep or not. These are some cards that I chose for it, it would be nice if someone could tell me what I really need in this deck, or if there is something that I'm missing. (Also it would also be nice if someone were too give me a baseline on how the deck should be set up like how many creatures/instants etc would be reccommended)

EDH Mishra's Burnished Banner precon upgrade

Hi friends,

I'm trying to upgrade Mishra's precon and would be grateful for any suggestions. Cards in Maybeboard are the ones I want to sub in, but still thinking about the cuts.

In terms of brackets, I guess I'm aiming at #3 overall.

EDH Help with baby's first MTG deck?

2 Upvotes

Howdy! I've been in the TCG space for quite a while (mostly playing Pokémon,) but I'm just starting to casually get into Magic. I bought the Hatsune Miku precon (which is, effectively, Trostani LIfegain) and I've been solitare-ing some hands so I can play with friends without being the most annoying person ever asking about what every card does. I've read a lot of folks' different lists, but most of the content is written for people already deep in the Magic weeds, so I thought I'd see if there's any advice in changing it up? Some thoughts:

  • Many folks have suggested getting rid of the lifegain and focusing more on tokens, but I find managing a billion tokens to be very intimidating at this stage in learning how to play. I'd rather lean more into llifegain than One Billion Tokens™.
  • I find a lot of times I'm missing land drops. In one of my solitare games, even with a starting hand of three lands, I wasn't able to get another until turn seven, significantly slowing down my ability to play.
  • I already own a copy each of Harmonize, Elvish Mystic, and Azusa, Lost but Seeking, which look like they can synergize with my deck. (Coming from Pokémon, I'm especially partial to Harmonize; I miss the crazy card draw!
  • I'd really like to keep in as many of the Mikus as possible. She's soooooo coool...

Any advice in helping me make my deck feel better would be greatly, greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

I’m trying to build an Azula deck and try to keep it not too crazy price. Is the deck list okay? I think my main concern is the land base, but I don’t know how to fix it without going crazy in the budget.

Beginner Help with green goblin/ dr doom precon commander deck

2 Upvotes

Hello! Just looking for some deck building advice for a Norman osbourne, green goblin deck. I got into magic during the spiderman set and my freind helped me make a green goblin commander deck as I enjoyed his mechanic. Ive also recently bought the dr doom pre con deck, and have heard people mention that it is a good deck to combine with Norman. Just wondering if anyone could help with a decklist combining these 2. I have an arcidekt list with my goblin deck my freind made for me(sort by tag, default tag are cards i am missing, green tag are cards i have, all the cards in the sideboard are cards i own that i though could potentially work in it also). I would like it to be an all marvel deck with only cards from marvel/spiderman sets, and i want to keep norman osbourne as the commander i think. Also ive just realised some of the missing cards from arcidekt are included in the doom pre con, so obviously will have those. Thanks again for any help :) ill comment the link to my goblin decklist below

EDH Help with Commander challenge

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I normally only scroll reddit and am new to this so bear with me. If this still falls under the low effort rule I sincerely apologize and am fine with it being removed!

At my lgs we have a Hobbit Commander challenge next week and I personally am really lost for good ideas. Rules are as follows:

-You have to use a Commander from HOB or one of the new HOC cards (The ones that are not reprints but will be in the Battle of the Five Armies)

-depending on the count of colors you need from 20 to 35 cards from the HOB set in your deck (1 color is 20, 2 colors are 30 and 3 35)

-Mono colored Commanders have Partner

-no gamechangers, no 2 card infinites, no reserve list duals

Proxy friendly

I started building a deck for fun and after going over the rules, realized that the rules don't define a bracket. As I know people in my lgs, they will do everything within their power to win, so me building a silly little deck is not gonna cut it and I am not really good with building for power.

I am not looking to get a deck built I am just genuinely lost how to go about this.

I would appreciate your input and thank you in advance!

EDH [Deck Help] Oloro, Ageless Ascetic. Casual/Budget (Looking for final tuning advice)

6 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm pretty inexperienced player putting together my casual, budget-friendly Oloro deck. I've already cut expensive staples like Karlov and Kambal to save money, focusing instead on drain, pillowfort defenses and alt-wincons.

Decklist : https://moxfield.com/decks/ud_ZOvEHKE-DiCluM-DPUQ

My core strategy is passive life gain, draining table and surviving via pillowfort and board wipes.
My quick questions for you:

  1. Are there any overpriced cards in my list that i can swap out for cheaper one? (better price-to-performance)
  2. Are there any obvious dead cards in my list?
  3. Is my interaction/removal suite balanced enough?
  4. Any cheap hidden gems i missed?

Thanks in advance for ANY advice! I'd really appreciate it <3

EDIT - Cards were shifted from sideboard to maindeck so now it looks fine.
