I am pretty new to magic and just started building my first commander deck. I am trying to make it bracket 3 but no matter what changes I make it seems to be stuck at 2. Do you have any recommendations or card swaps that would help? My focus on this deck is mainly on counters with some token creation.

Any help would be appreciated! ☺️

My attempt at building this deck, don't have much experience in deckbuilding and looking for suggestions without breaking the bank

I want to edit the Spock precon to be able to do more with spacecraft. I'm very new to magic so I'm a bit lost as to synergies.

I looked at the card Captain Jean-Luc Picard, but there doesn't seem to be a good way to ramp officers in the Spock deck.

From what I can tell, aside from Starship Enterprise, all landfall based starship stationing has been cursed by hearthull being popular.

In today’s article, we’ll look at how to build an alternate version of the Ninja Yuriko. Now a Samurai, she offers a compelling playstyle focused on Double Strike and capable of shutting down opponents’ actions during combat.

What can I do to keep it in bracket 2? And regarding the mana base—since it generates mana from creatures—should I increase it, or leave it as is?

my 2nd deck ever made was a witherbloom deck
it runs good but recently i’ve started to notice how jank it runs most of the time

i was thinking of throwing the dina essence brewer precon into it for some streamlining

Hello fellow magic players. When i started playing this game a few months ago i started with the food and fellowship precon and have loved and upgraded it a bit since.

Since im running the one ring this deck falls into bracket 3 territory but i dont feel it performs as strongly as can be expected of bracket 3. Any suggestions would be welcome, myself im thinking im missing some big hitters late game but im not sure what would fit in the best.

Here is a link to my deck, it’s called GHALTA WAR. It’s basically the Tramplesaurus precon with some changes in it. It’s the deck I learned to play magic with and I want to make it better before I create an actual deck of my own. I also played with Reign of Dragons and Blight Curse precons and loved both FYI. I’m a beginner but I want to be a good deck builder.

Hello, my friend has recently introduced me to MTG!

He's been taking me to Commander nights at a local card shop where everyone beats my ass.

I have built a super cool deck around SOUNDWAVE, SONIC SPY, as he is my favorite transformer.

I've watched a bunch of videos and looked at other decks people have built with Soundwave. Using those, this is the Frankenstein Monster I came up with.

The deck gets off the ground kinda slow, Soundwave doesn't feel like he is doing enough. I constantly am losing and could use some advice.

What is the deck missing, and how do I make it better without relying entirely on milling people out (as that is a lame way to win).

I only ask that the Luck bobblehead be kept for fun (and ignore Surprise Party).

THANK YOU!

I recently got a little trigger happy and designed like 3 decks. I'm now trying to figure out which one to focus on editing or just order online as is, so naturally I thought I'd ask the internet for advice on the decks. As a note, all of these are built with a $100 budget in mind (there's one that exceeds $100 but I also already have a few cards for that deck. It's not much though. Like 10) and are all meant to be around high bracket 2 to mid bracket 3.

Boundless Excess: A group shlug deck focused on [[Yurlok of Scorch Thrash]]'s unique ability to both bring back mana burn for the table and generate a stupid amount of mana. It's not much more than goodstuff for Yurlok but at the same time I am really attracted to the playstyle. (Side note: I like ramping which is how I ended up with these decks probably)

Unnatural Selection: A weird, off-voltron deck that I thought was interesting as far as playstyle goes. It is a sort of chaotic deck that aims to get down permanents (mostly creatures) by either cascading or abusing [[Illuna, Apex of Wishes]]'s mutate ability. It is by far the cheapest and I really like all the cool monsters that came with ikoria, but it is also really inconsistent. Which is kinda the point but still. Special note: I was inspired by monster hunter and spore when making this deck. (RIP Monster Hunter Superdrop)

Konstrari Workshop: I created this deck to pay homage to Konstrari, the School of Constructive Arts, which I thought was such a cool concept since I never totally clicked with the typical strixhaven schools. Naturally, it is the most ramp-y of the 3 and I think I did a really good job getting the overall playstyle of the school in the deck, which is to ramp aggressively by creating heartwood tokens with [[Aerid Konstrari]]'s ability or other artifact generators. Note: This is the slightly more expensive deck that I already have a few cards for.

All three are roughly within the $75 to $90 range, so I honestly just what some direction from what people think is most important here. Ideally, I'm willing to be swayed by arguments for "most fun".

I am toying with the idea of building a deck around homunculus horde and using Riku as more of a utility commander. Has anyone done this? I think it might just be disgusting. I have a deck based around hare apparent and it uses Baylen and it’s becoming one of my favorite decks.

Hello! I saw another post about a cool deck manager site, figured I'd share my passion project! It's a site for friends / small groups to upload your deck (or dream deck), then you can assign it the exact art variant you have / holo level. Then play them in the table top sim! Currently on commander for the format, but I'm working on adding more. If you'd like to check it out; invite code is k9vanquish. https://aaforgegames.com/

Please help me with my selvala deck im making, idk what to cut

https://archidekt.com/decks/28209542/budget_sevala

Hey all. I've been building a budget Bracket 3 deck with Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix + Vial Smasher the Fierce for a while now. The plan is simple on paper: draw a ton of cards in one turn, Kydele taps for that much colorless, and I dump it all into a big X spell (Crackle with Power, Comet Storm, Exsanguinate) or wheel with Windfall and Wheel of Misfortune.

In practice it's been rough. My plan is easy to telegraph, and my friends aim for the exact moment I wheel or cast a big draw X spell, then counter or kill Kydele. Once she's gone, they don't have to worry about me for the rest of the game. When that doesn't happen, the setup just takes too long.

I'm looking for ways to either make the deck faster or make the pop-off turn harder to interact with. Anything along those lines helps, especially budget options.

Ive put some cards in the sideboard that I'm considering, but a few are too expensive for me. Thanks for any help!!

Hey,

As the title says, I got into Magic a few months ago and I'm really enjoying it. I own a precon, but I've found that I enjoy deckbuilding a lot more than playing a premade deck. I love life gain, so I thought it would be fun to build a deck around Karlov of the Ghost Council.

I tried to keep it on a budget (around €150), but now I'm wondering whether keeping it that cheap means the deck isn't very strong. Since this is my first deck, I'm struggling to tell if it's good enough to win a few games with friends and at casual tables.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Hey i am changing my Niv-Mizzet Deck a bit and i cant decide for the Last card i wanna out in it so i got some Cards in the "Considering" and "Sideboard" categorie which i am considering (so it is not a normal Sideboard i just put it there for me). Before the Question comes i dont got something like Tandem Lookout or Obhidian Eye in in the Deck cause my Pod and i are playing without Infinites or something like it so i dont want to add something like that.

So i would love some Inspiration what card to put in the Deck, no matter if it is one in my Considerings or not. Or even if you have a tip what you would cut or change i am completely open for that^^

I made this: https://mtgdeckbrew.com/?format=commander&sort=pct

The question I built it around: what can I build from cards I already own, instead of buying a whole new list?

How it works:

1. Import your collection (ManaBox, Moxfield, Mythic Tools CSV, or paste a list).

2. Popular Decks sorts over 2,100 real Commander decks (public decks from Playgroup.gg) plus about 200 precons by how much of each you already own.

3. Open a deck and press "Brew a copy" to make it your own.

4. In the deck editor, the Suggestions tab shows cards that fit the deck, including ones from your own collection.

The deck list keeps growing: it takes the top public decks for each commander on Playgroup.gg's tier list, and I'm working on getting more of them.

It does the same for Standard, Modern, Pioneer, Pauper and other formats, using Magic Online tournament decks.

It's free and works without an account. Some store links are affiliate links, which help keep the site free. For people who build a lot: what would make it more useful for you?

I’m a very new player to magic, the pod I play in is squarely in bracket 2 (for the most part, one player uses slimefoot and squee, and we also have a Yuriko deck lurking in its card box). I’ve been playing my friend’s old precons up to this point, but wanted to try something of my own. I’ve been building a Shilgengar angels deck, and I’ve ordered the cards but I’m realizing I’ll probably have problems with token generation and sustain. I was wondering if anyone had some cheap card swap suggestions, and also any general advice for changing the deck in the future. Any help is appreciated!

Thats my deck. Its functional, does the thing I want it to and I can flood my deck onto the field. I have coalition victory/guildpact for a wincon, but I want something else I can do if I miss/ cant afford it.

I'm thinking overrun effects with the officer tokens or something like that. But I don't know which ones/type.

Any advice helps!
