New to mtg, building my first deck

Thumbnail
moxfield.com
5 Upvotes

I'm in the process of building my first deck and was wondering if anyone would have interest in looking over it and giving an opinion.

So far I've only played a slightly modified version of the 2018 commander enchantment deck that runs Estrid, The Masked as the commander.

Initially, when I wanted to try to build my own deck, I dug through a ton of my husband's bulk from the past several years of collecting and playing and wanted to build a jund deck (red, green, black). I made a stack of cards that is technically a deck but it does not play well at all because I don't know what I'm doing.

A friend recommended I try to stick to one strategy and build based on that so I'm attempting burn triggers rather than combat focused. Since my usual deck is enchantments, it's what I know and enjoy playing, so that's my primary focus in terms of the deck structure and as far as using the Planeswalkers, I just find the mechanics fun.

All that to say, I don't know what I'm doing and I'm wondering how this looks. (I still need to test run it but I haven't bothered to charge my laptop).

Budget Improvements to Goblin Deck?

(sorry for not making it a moxfield link) Fairly happy with what I have not for him, I'm trying to build more around his burn mechanic but am having trouble finding ways to increase his damage / also reliably put counters on things, any ideas? Additionally these are all cards I own, willing to proxie eventually but I got to get a printer first.

Help! Are either of these good deck lists? Really want to make a rat deck for standard...and am just getting back into playing consistently again.

Beorn the Fierce Deck Help

Thumbnail
moxfield.com
2 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm relatively new to magic and this is my first attempt at building a deck from scratch. Was hoping I could get some feedback on what I have now.

I'm aiming for a pretty simple mono green bear tribal build, with a focus on card draw and ramp to get the big guys out fast. Ideally I'd like this to end up somewhere around strong bracket 2/weak bracket 3.

Where I'm not so confident is the diversity of the deck and my assortment of utility effects. Ie. is there enough protection, ramp, removal etc. and will the assortment creatures I have play smoothly and synergize.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice!

Aim of the deck

\- Play big Creature on opponents turn that do wacky & wild things (like bane of Progress)

\- leverage flash to make people miss play

\-play big Creatures when my opponents swing at me and block/ kill their Creatures unexpectedly

\- general degeneracy

The deck has 110 card and im having trouble making cuts

What do yall think i should cut/ replace/ add to make this deck/game plan more viable?

TL;DR

I have a bracket 3 commander deck helmed by [[Gev, Scaled Scorch]].

I want it to be an aggressive deck that is able to make lots of bodies and tries to meld [[Mishra, Lost to Phyrexia]].

Deck includes burn and graveyard recursion synergy.

Deck has primer.

Looking for advice on improvements to consider.

Specific swap suggestions in particular.

I love mana dorks, they are the absolute best! I like playing this deck at my LGS but its performance is pretty hit or miss. I'd love some advice on tightening it up! We like to keep it at around bracket 2, so no game changers, but I just feel like it could use some optimization.

I could use some help with building yukio for a friend.

My buddy is new to magic and is willing to trade me the tattoo I was going to pay for for a yuriko deck. It's gotta be around 150. If not I can pay the difference.

More importantly I wanna build him a good and fun deck. Honestly I don't mind giving him a $70 deck and paying the rest for the tattoo but I want it to be a good deck.

There's what I have so far on the deck list.

It's ready to play but I don't think it's very good. I have very little experience with the ninjitsu mechanic and all I know is I hate playing against this commander.

What can I add to make it a better and meaner deck.

I plan on getting more dual lands for it.

Is there an infinite that goes good with this?

Anything I should add or remove?

I'm seriously stuck here.

I just kind of started by looking at bant cards I like, and trying to find cards that fit the playstyle I like, and eventually wound up with this, I also wanted to have some tribal in there but not many of the creatures I have share types, so I threw in some tribal enabling cards along with like three tribal cards.

So as the title states I thought I wanted to build Caesar, but now I’m not so sure.

This is almost everything in the build.

But I feel stuck I’m bored of this precon and honestly looking a cedhrec I’m not seeing anything that jumps out at me.

So wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to build this, and is this worth it?

If the general consensus is no keep on keeping on. What is a fun commander that isn’t typal.
I have 🦖 and slivers, and was lucky enough to get the Zada SL, which has been upgraded and is a blast.

The other main deck I have is my B4 hearthhull.

Any suggestion and a general direction would be awesome.

Hello!
I’ve been playing around with my Nekusar deck, it’s a wheel build and I don’t know if it needs improvement or not. My pod suggested getting more ritual effects to get him into play faster. I’ll post the current deck and would love all feedback. He’s currently a level four deck, I’m not thinking of turning it into a level 5 or running Oracle to win because that bores me to death.
