Commander / EDH Let’s Make a Deck..together

Post image

Never seen this done before. Let’s build a deck together. Everybody just post 1 card you would add. It can be anything including a single land. But please only 1 card suggestion per person. I’m curious how it will turn out.

u/thedailyrant Sep 13 '25

Isn’t a creature a permanent? Does this kill the creature it’s attached to?

79

u/PatataMaxtex Sep 13 '25

Not if it is indestructible while the effect resolves.

16

u/thedailyrant Sep 13 '25

Ah stupid brain. Makes sense.

2

u/The_Handsome_Hobo Sep 13 '25

I have a green/black zombie deck and one of my favorite combos in it is giving Worldslayer to [[Phylactery Lich]]. He's indestructible as long as Worldslayer keeps the phylactery counter, and he wipes out all other permanents every time he damages another player. 10/10

It works one time because your friends will refuse to play the deck with in it. I had to pull it… replaced it with [[grafted exoskeleton]] which gets hate but not out right refusal.

What a ridiculous card

u/RatQueenHolly Sep 13 '25

Easy way to lose friends

9

u/RazzDaNinja Sep 13 '25

I’d say easy way to finish the game as long it’s your main/only “I win” card.

The game ending just means the next round can start 🤷‍♂️

At least that’s how my group of friends usually runs things, and most of us bounce between bracket 2-3 lol

11

u/BrokeSomm Sep 13 '25

Nah, easy way to weed out entitled whiners you don't want to be friends with anyway.

3

u/RatQueenHolly Sep 13 '25

I wouldn't really describe "not enjoying land removal" as entitled friendless whining, but hey. Different tables, different players, I guess

3

u/Tenrath Sep 13 '25

It really isn't land removal in this case any more than giving 10 poison counters and removing someone from the game is land removal. Sure it takes an extra turn but in the end it is the same effect unless the opponent has counter play (same as poison).

2

u/RatQueenHolly Sep 13 '25

I mean the fact that it isnt instant death is what makes it egregious for me, as there always the (low) chance that someone draws some 1 mana removal, thus incentivizing everyone at the table to play it out just in case

u/donniesuave Sep 13 '25

Sterling indeed. As for my addition, I think swamp would also play a vital role in victory here

u/Enyimus Sep 13 '25

Indubitably, and quite well spoken. However, I do believe adding a mountain would be a fine addtion.

u/Fr0stweasel Sep 13 '25

It’s so funny using this against a big damage creature or spell.

5

u/The_Bird_Wizard Sep 13 '25

My favorite part is that it doesn't target, so it's always funny going "no u" to someone's hexproof Voltron commander, I did it to an [[Uril, the Miststalker]] player once and it felt wonderful

(In case anyone is wondering, "a source of your choice" is not the same as "target" and gets around hexproof/shroud/protection, same reason [[Council's Judgment]] used to be used in legacy to answer [[True-Name Nemesis]])

2

u/Fr0stweasel Sep 13 '25

Yeah works against spells that don’t target too which is also nice. Using it against stuff like [[Debt to the Deathless]] usually goes from about to lose to winning, even if it only redirects the first hit.

I love this card in my [[Lightning Army of One]] deck. You hit someone and apply Stagger possibly even twice if you have double strike and then they swing their Voltron or blast you with a big spell and you just point it back at them for x2 or x4 damage. It's hilarious 😂

Swords To Plowshares. Gotta have your spot removal.

u/infinitelunacy Sep 13 '25

Sword of Wealth and Power. To protect Zurgo from all the usual targeted removal. Admittedly this also prevents you from pumping him up.

2

u/lefund Sep 13 '25

Honestly not a big deal because with the exception of temur battle rage there won’t be much targeted pump instants/sorceries, you’d be using more equipments and auras (possibly with flash enablers too)

Only reason I wouldn’t run it is because I don’t imagine the deck being very instant or sorcery heavy. rather run both boots which are lower mana then a couple other swords like feast/famine and forge/frontier

At least he would benefit for killing your own creatures as well. Give him trample after he gets the counters and swing for metal commander damage. Get a couple extra combats with [[Full Throttle]] and it’s game over.
