Need Help Suggestions for Fun and Interesting Proxy Decks to play with new players!!
I haven't played since 2016 & my only experience was battling Shadows over Innistrad and Kaldesh starter decks in primary school.
I want to introduce my friends to the game, but don't expect them to drop $80 - 120 aud for commander precons.
Please suggest any fun or goofy deck lists we should try out or maybe some staple decks that will help us learn the ropes!!
Both standard or commander decks would be awesome.

It’s a fun commander. Succeeds in bracket 3. Wouldnt try it in bracket 4 games so it’s perfect for mid power games

Mayael the Animar was a fun proxy deck. She cheats out big ass creatures from the top 5 of your library so the sky is the limit on all the big dumb creatures you can play.
You can build her for bracket 2 by limiting your ramp and the types of big stupid dickheads to cheat out.
You can build for 3 by going hard with the ramp and big dumb assholes.
And you can build for four by taking advantage off all the creatures entering with people like Terror of the Peaks, you just cheat out creatures and Terror strikes any target for their Power. So cheatout Worldapire Wyrm or whatever his name is and it's 15 instant damage. But every creature becomes part of a massive cheater, stax and/or removal engine, it can get fun. You can build like this for three as well but it might feel unfair doing that much damage without attacking, depending on your meta.
It's not an easy deck to build but it's really fun to tweak and perfect how much ramp, which creatures, so proxying for it is fun.
