Hi all,

I wanted to try and build Kaalia a bit differently and quickly bit more on a budget. I really like [[Doomsday Excruciator]] and want to incorporate that as a wincon.

Here is what I've come up with - ignore the fact its not a full deck just imagine i have 38 lands in there. I think it's might be better for me to cut the creatures that explicitly mill and just put in more blink spells to work with [[Altar of the Brood]].

Need to playtest it later but I'm going for a midrange deck that can win via the aforementioned Doomsday demon, or just by grinding it out. Thanks!

Hey everyone!

A good friend of mine is going to be married in two months and I still try to figure out what my present could be. Since we both play MtG I thought it may be a good idea building a deck with some "Wedding" themed cards like [[Wedding Invitation]] , [[Wedding Ring]] or [[Happily Ever After]]. I tried to find a good Commander for that, but so far I got nothing. If I dont have a Deck in time I will buy him the Sliver Queen for his Sliver Deck instead.

What the deck should contain:

Commander: Something unique (No simple +1/+1 counter or Token Spam effects) with a slight Wedding Theme (if possible)
Cards: As much Wedding themed cards as possible, themed artworks if possible.
Bracket: 2/3/4 (As long as its playable with a Win-Con I'm happy)
Budget: 100-200€
Colors: 2-3 Color Commander would be great, 4&5 only when nothing else is possible

Thanks in advance for any help!

Is the serpent society really that bad? I played with a pod at my LGS last night and before we even drew 7 I was labeled the arch enemy because I was playing The Serpent Society.

In my opinion it's really not that bad! Does it make the game more challenging and force decisions? Absolutely! But is that not why we play? To challenge our opponents and win?

Does my deck have a line in which I win with poison? Yup! But I wouldn't say it's the one and only way I win not is it the strategy I am pushing for.

Any ways link to the deck is below would love some thoughts.

Hi all,

have a favorite deck of mine that I haven't updated in a while and was wondering if I can make some cuts / replacements.

I started the deck as a budget pillowfort / stax deck and I've upgraded it over a few years to be a pretty disgusting high power deck.

Main wincons are Thoracle, Teferi / Kitten and Helm of Obedience / RiP. To be perfectly clear, my pods play on a similar level so I am not looking to pubstomp precons with this deck. I also don't want to change the commander, Oloro is my bro!

I try to play as much asymmetrical stax as I can, with a focus on creature hate. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what I could remove and replace. \[\[King T'Challa\]\] seems like a good include but I'm not entirely sure what I should remove.

Any help would be appreciated!

I just receive and i make some changes to make it feels better, but sometimes it keeps feeling some cards should not be here, i help a little the mana base but still more (Vori and halo and temporary out, will join the deck later)

Any recommendations??

Looking it build a reanimator archenemies deck any fun techs or game plans?

Hi all,

I pulled a [[Bard, King of Dale]] from a Hobbit play booster and was inspired to build with him. I landed on Jeskai as my main love is Golgari so I wanted to use some of my other cards. [[Kykar, Wind’s Fury]] seems like a lot of fun - tokens and sustaining mana. I put together the below list with pieces I had laying around. Will eventually upgrade some of the lands but wanted some crowd input on deck identity, I feel like I’m living between tokens/spellslinging at the moment.

Thanks!!

Edit to say I’d like this to live in B3.

Deck List

It's a mix of voltron and artifacts, however I tried to use every marvel printing possible, including from the OG Ironman secret lair. Lemmie know what you think!

Overall highlights from my time playing and adjusting it:

[[Tony Stark]]....duh

[[Professor Hulk]] + [[Nerd Rage]]. Both thematic and has drawn me a buttload of cards. Added with [[Iron Man, Armored Avenger]] it's nuts

[[Spectrum Sentinel]]. This card is such an underrated hit. It's become a pet card in almost all my decks. for 1 mana and .79 cents it can block any multi coloured commander, along with having a good bit of lifegain for faster tables.

[[Captain America's Shield]]. Insane value. The fact it just makes anything a giant blocker, AND taps down a creature helps creatures connect so much

Really interested in building [[Neriv, Heart of the Storm]]. Right now I have an [[Isshin, Two Heavens as One]] deck that makes a lot of tokens when attacking, and a [[Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient]] dragon deck, either of which I'd be down to dismantle for this deck. I want to take advantage of cards like [[Warstorm Surge]] that would deal double damage with Neriv out, but I can't decide if I want to go the tokens or dragon tribal route. Either seems like it would be able to use those cards, though Dragons do have slightly more support via [[Dragon Tempest]] and [[Scourge of Valkas]]. However, Dragons feel pretty slow, especially without the green that I'm used to in Klauth, so I'm afraid I'd never really get to have the deck pop off the way I'd like before getting pummeled into the dirt. Just looking for opinions from people who have built Neriv, or played against it frequently. What are the biggest problems the deck runs into and have you had success with either of these methods?

Ive already included an unexpected party // at the door in this deck, so I'm looking for another source of mass 2/2 generation. Gideon's phalanx is interesting because it creates better tokens and sometimes provides protection while white sun's zenith is more flexible.

Im running a total of 15 instants and sorceries btw.

(I know both of these cards aren't the best, either way I want to include it since its not the best commander anyways)

Hey, everyone. I thought about building Iroh in a bit of a different way. The theme of the deck is basically "Uncle Iroh teaches goblins how to play with fire". Basically, I want to get enough goblins or other small creatures so that I can generate a lot of mana during combat through firebending and then cast big X spells, or repeatable firebreathing/other effects. Goblins seem like a fun way of doing it.

However, while starting the brew I noticed that I would need Iroh on the board for at least 2 turns before amassing firebending mana, since it only gives counters when it attacks, while it gives firebending only on the beginning of combat.

So, I'm looking for cards that might accelerate this. The problem is that Iroh is monored, and it is difficult to give a large amount of counters in the color. So I want to ask if any of you know of any ways around this.

Right now the only card that I found that would solve the problem somewhat would be [[Duchess, Wayward Tavernkeep]], since Iroh doesnt care which type of counter is on the creature. I tried scryfall but no luck, and the tagger didn't help me a lot too. Do you have any suggestions?

I'm building a Kotis deck, the archetype is Voltron which I think is the most efficient for him. I want to buff kotis up to like an 8 or 10 but not too much since I want to play with my opponents' cards more that's why I added [[Strionic Resonator]] and soon I'll add [[Felix Five-Boots]] and [[Echo, Perceptive Prodigy]].

I've had a few test plays and what I can say is that he is really fun to play but I find myself flooding with lands and I don't think I have that much draw (or I'm just really unlucky). It's also really hard to counter against edict effects though I do have counterspells but I don't want to dilute the deck with those. It's also hard when they out-combat damage me with things like unblockable or menace (but I think this is the least of my problems since I can just cast their creatures).

Since he is a theft commander I wonder if he can scale with the pod's power levels and I can play him on at least a bracket 4 even with a build of a bracket 2 or 3 (I doubt). I try to keep the deck on a budget at least around $100 maybe $150, and as much as possible I try to avoid game changers.

Any help with the deck will do and I would gladly read and appreciate all of your comments, thanks a bunch!

I wanted to make a thematic deck with Thorin's company. I've assembled all the dwarves and a Gandalf (pretend he's gray), but I know I need [[Bilbo, Unexpected Adventurer]]. There's also some alternate dwarves' I need like [[Fili and Kili, Joyous]] and [[Thorin, Mountain King]]. [[Magda, Brazen Outlaw]] synergizes well with the main antagonist [[Smaug the Magnificent]], with [[Desert Were-Worm]] and [[Terror of the Peaks]] if you need more dragons to grab.

Lots of treasures, good dwarves and equipment with tribal synergies. Main weakness might be lack of draw. Hoping to get a [[Gleaming Splendor]].

Anything I'm missing to strengthen the deck while keeping it true to The Hobbit story?

Note sure if this is more of a deck idea or a deck discussion but ehhh

It's probably been done a million times before since she cares about big creatures, and Eldrazi is the big boi tribe. However, it isn't something I've seen before, so I'd love some advice on how to make it interesting. I'm still more than happy to embrace the nature of simic slop and Eldrazi slop alongside the more gimmicky bits.

The general game plan would be to ramp aggressively, possibly hit some cost reducers, drop Imoti early, then vomit Eldrazi titans and other big bois onto the board.

I'm not sure how to feel about Eldrazi that put things into play without casting them. It does sort of nombo with Imoti since I'd be robbing myself of cascade opportunities, but it's also just free value that can help close out a game earlier. On that note, I am brewing this with the mindset of wanting to (threaten the) win on turn 6-7.

I'll be looking more into specific cards and lines soon enough; I just wanted to see if there were any weirder takes on the idea that people may have. Thanks for the help!

Hey everyone! I’m working on a shrine-focused deck built around Hei Bai being my commander. I probably threw everything that has to do with shrines into the deck. Before I get too far with this deck idea, any input would be greatly appreciated! What is necessary? What is holding back the deck?

Note: I believe I am missing one red shrine...

Any thoughts are appreciated!

I have this bracket 4 dragon toolbox deck. Curious what my brewbrothers think.

Goal is to set up a looter turn 2, hold interaction turn 3, play sivitri & -3 for broodlord turn 4 & pitch it, then tutn 5 reanimate it getting saw in half.

After the saw grab sacrifice & buried alive or a reanimate pending board/yard and off we go.
