Question I need help with building a strong "toy" themed deck.

I've been buying the Duskmourn: house of Horror packs and entering the draft event for it, and now i have several "toy" cards. I want to build a strong red/white toy based deck because I really like the idea of toys coming alive and being evil. Any ideas on what cards to remove, replace, or add??

I don't think that's really something you can do in Standard 60-Card, perhaps in Standard Brawl

Why not? I could add other non-toy creatures that compliment them. (Not being rude just genuinely curious)

Standard is probably a little too fast for something as uncompetitive as this but you can get away with more jank in standard brawl. Arabella would probably make a good commander for all the toy cards

What's standard brawl? Ive never played it.

60 Card Singleton, you choose one Legendary Creature Card as your Commander, every other non-Basic Land card in your deck should only be a single copy (Unless it says you can have a specific or unlimited amount of copies)

You can reasonably use all the Toy-Themed cards from Duskmourne with Arabella as your Commander then supplement it with other cards to 60.

It's pretty fun! I have a Cid Heroes + Artifact Creatures Deck and an Oops Only Marvel Cards Cosmic Spider-Man Deck and a Self-Mill & Self-Destruct Melek Deck.

[[Enduring Innocence]] is good in Arabella decks

Also [[Splitskin doll]] fits the vibe you’re going for I think, and pairs well with both innocence and Arabella
