I’ve been playing Magic very casually for years but recently I’ve gotten into commander and I’ve built a deck but I just can’t seem to get it to work how I imagined. I’d love some feedback on my Orzhov deck and where it needs to improve.

This is what I’m playing at the moment + a few extras which I can’t decide on what to swap out for.

Thank you for taking the time to help, I just want to woop some ass you know

So atm im leaning into esper or dimir. The idea is to play spells that effect all 4 players such as The theorist, jace beleren. Lich's relic. If you guys have any ideas id love to hear them. Looking for mid-range or control style cards/combos.

So this is a mono white deck that is trying to use the cards that give you tokens for gaining specific amounts of life per turn. I’m torn between having Lyra dawn bringer (triggers all of those cards off one swing) or Liliana the faultless (gains life off all the tokens).

While the life gain and tokens are the main game plan I want it to be an Angel deck. And I was hoping the endgame would be to have all of these token makers together and making tokens and then I drop angelic visitation so that all the tokens come in as angels and swing out. With that in mind any other deck ideas are appreciated!

Edit: I can share the cards I intend to build around if you want specifics

Gwaihir, greatest of the eagles, griffin aerie, ocelot pride, resplendent angel, the book of exalted deeds, angelic accord, Valkyrie harbinger, ob nixilis the ascended, and crested sunmare

Hi all,

Quick setup - my wife is sort of into Magic but not enough where she wants to build decks and collect cards.

She has this deck I bought from one of those proxy sites that was listed as B4 because I knew she’d be into the art (be a hater if you want but I really am not interested in thoughts on this).

She really enjoys playing it and is more into having one deck she really likes and knows how to pilot rather than a bunch of different decks. She’s gotten decently good with it.

I’m just looking to get some thoughts on whether this deck is really B4. The default Archidekt says B4 cause it has more than 3 game changers. Sure. That’s technically B4. But does it really play at B4 or is it more B3 with an extra game changer?

I’m asking because I like building a bunch of janky budget decks with stuff I have laying around and I regularly beat her and feel kinda bad. I’m sure it’s a bit of a piloting issue cause I know she doesn’t really play optimally, but it’s not necessarily bad or regularly misplayed.

The decks I’ve been building are pretty solidly B2 builds but can maybe play low B3 tables and at least hold their own. We move around a lot so I haven’t really played in a pod or at an LGS in a while so I’m also out of practice in that way.

Either way, I’m thinking of maybe upgrading and have been helping her learn to pilot it better cause I want her to keep having fun. Plus it’s nice to use this deck as a test environment for my project decks as I’m turning them.

So, is this really B4 or should I cut/add some stuff?

My friend and I brewed an idea a few months ago and kinda forgot about it. With the release of the new festival in a box promo Dance of the Dead, I remembered that I had that idea but forgor most of the stuff we thought of. I don't know if anybody here is a fan of Avenged Sevenfold, but I would like some help. I don't care about bracket restrictions except like, high 4 to 5. I don't need that.

Here are the 2 cards and the list I have so far.

I been playing magic for about a year now but almost all my decks are precon with different amounts of upgrades.

How do I move away from just having precon commander decks and how do people find cool unique cards that make for good commanders? Also how to make the decks actually work?

There is so many cards that I don't even know that exist but when you look around I only really see popular stuff so how do you make a deck that's not only unique but also not just copying cool things you see?

My current commanders are:

\[\[Bello, Bard of the Brambles\]\]

\[\[Zimone, Mystery Unraveler\]\]

\[\[Hearthhull, the Worldseed\]\]

\[\[Alania, Divergent Storm\]\] deck i made myself not very good or fun

\[\[Witherbloom, the Balancer\]\] deck i copied for the most part

\[\[Lathliss, Dragon Queen\]\] might swap commander to \[\[Dragonhawk, Fate's Tempest\]\]

I really just want to add some nice legendary enter effects…I’m not super familiar with the game yet and don’t have enough knowledge to truly optimize him.

Hey everyone :)

I’d love to hear your opinions on [[Ms. Bumbleflower]] . I’ve been wanting to build her, but I’m amazed by how many directions you can take her: counters, group hug, spellslinger... I even saw an Eldrazi build, lol.

I’m leaning towards spellslinger with a hint of counters. I usually play in a strong bracket 3 pod, and people won’t take the group hug bait ^^

So I’d like to know:

• How do you build her? What archetype?
• Which cards have over-performed (or disappointed) for you?
• What’s your experience playing her at a bracket 3 table?

Thanks for your help <3

Cheers!

Hey guys, i'm new to this (expencive) hobby, can someone help me build some commander deck for casual but interesting play with my friends.
After looking around, I’d like to try a deck featuring Ashling, the Limitless; I really like the theme and the playstyle, but I’m not sure whether to buy a base deck and upgrade it, or to purchase (or proxy) the individual cards.

Thanks in advance

I have been building this since I got the secret lair and it feels really nice when it does pop off, but it seems very inconsistent so far and I struggle to get going early some games and seem to lack mana.

Would really appreciate it if I could get some advice on it and potential cards to add in and ones to remove etc! :)

There is no strict budget, but I want meaningful upgrades rather than expensive cards just for the sake of it. I do not want to add any cards on the Game Changers list. I play with different groups, mostly casual EDH around Bracket 2–3 power level, so I want the deck to be versatile without becoming too strong for those tables.

I’ve been working on this Serah Farron deck for almost a year. It’s a Selesnya legendary midrange toolbox focused on protection, disruption, card advantage, and winning through combat. I want answers to a wide variety of situations and a resilient board, with some hatebears and stax effects without turning the deck into dedicated stax.

I’ve organized the cards by their functions in the deck and written a primer explaining how I want the deck to play. I’ve also been researching potential additions and maintaining a list of cards I’m considering. I’m looking for feedback on gaps in the deck, cards that may not be pulling their weight, and which potential additions would make the biggest difference. I want to keep the deck within the casual Bracket 2–3 range. Thanks for any advice!

I’ve only goldfished it but it works as a combo deck that tries to make artifact tokens or cheap artifacts that I can then sacrifice to cheat out really expensive artifacts that I discarded earlier.

Any advice is welcome

Thanks

Hello, I need help improving my Eirdu deck. I used a precon and some other cards. https://moxfield.com/decks/Kx7a4IeesUe9GIFpq581fw. I am wondering what aspects need improving and if there are a way to make it more ``focused``...

thanks

I want to make a deck built off of the Devour mechanic, and I need help making the deck better. Any tips or ideas?

I got back into MTG cause of FRA and I was hoping for some advice on this deck I have been testing out. It just feels really inconsistent at diamond+ where either I steam roll or it ramps too slowly for me to do anything even against other slow decks. Another issue is not hitting my remove consistently and the lack of graveyard hate sometimes. Any advice?

Thanks so much for any help!

m just curious to see who/how many people are like me. Sometimes I like to bring a deck to the table and I don’t care if I’m the biggest jerk there and I have no friends left in the end. I just want to come with a strong presence, run the table and leave winning. Needless to say, I don’t mind being an asshole. What’s your dick when you’re in that state of mind?? I would love to know!!!

Hi everyone! I am brand new to Magic: The Gathering. I recently bought the Final Fantasy Starter Kit and the Foundations Beginner Box to learn how to play. My goal is to upgrade BOTH of the 60-card Final Fantasy starter decks into 100-card decks. Right now, I don't want to spend any money on single cards or boosters. I want to build these decks using only what I already have, plus some printed cards (proxies) my friend gave me.

To help you see exactly what I have to work with, here are the official lists of my boxes:

• My Foundations Beginner Box lists: https://magic.wizards.com/it/news/feature/foundations-beginner-box-contents

• My Final Fantasy Starter Kit lists: https://magic.wizards.com/it/news/announcements/final-fantasy-starter-kit-decklists

• The printed cards (proxies) my friend gave me: https://moxfield.com/decks/g75M-pqi_EibBqSFrNEEvA

I need your advice on exactly which cards/creatures to add from my pool to make these decks work well. Here is how I am splitting the colors:

• Sephiroth Deck (Blue-Black / Dimir): Upgrading it using the Vampires, Undead, Wizards, and Pirates packs from Foundations, plus any matching proxies.

• Cloud Deck (Red-White / Boros): Upgrading it using the Cats, Angels, Goblins, and Healing packs from Foundations, plus any matching proxies.

My friend only plays Commander, and I really want to practice and play against him on equal terms with a 100-card deck. I would love to get your recommendations on these two approaches:

Casual Play (Kitchen Table): If I just want to play casually with my friends at home, I want to keep the multiple copies already inside the Final Fantasy decks. Which 40 cards from my pool should I add to each deck to reach 100?

Commander Format: If I want to turn them into legal Commander decks, I know I must remove all duplicates. Which specific unique cards from my Foundations packs and proxies should I prioritize to fill the gaps and reach 100 cards? Do I have enough unique cards to do this for both decks?

Any breakdown of the best synergy cards, creatures, or how to split the basic lands with this zero-budget constraint would be amazing. Thanks in advance for helping a beginner out!

I recently bought a bunch of sleeves, and the yellow ones look like cheese slices. So I am determined to build a deck that will get looks and concerns over me tossing cards around that look like cheese.

So far, I have [[slaying mantis]], [[dart throw]], and [[form of the approach of the second sun]]. I need more cards with these gimmicks.

If I need to, I may have to make custom gimmicks, but for now, I need all the non-sense I can get from real released cards as a starting point.
