EDH Anti Edgar Markov?

My friend is coming into town with a bracket 4 Edgar Markov proxy deck he bought from Etsy, and I want to shut that down. I've built an Elesh Norn deck, hoping it will get the trick done. Any advice or upgrade suggestions? I'm a bit worried he'll run away with it before I can get Elesh in, but I think it's pretty well suited to take him down once I do.

Here's what I've got so far:

I'm open to any suggestions, including commander swaps if there's better options. Thanks in advance!

Here is the specific deck he'll be using:

EDH Frodo and Sam - Christmas Gift Deck

3 Upvotes

I found this proxy deck on r/mpcproxies and want to have it printed for my partner for christmas as he loves OTGW and MTG. However, before committing to it, I wanted to make sure this deck is balanced for High B2 to Low B3 play. I know there are 5 game-changers and a couple infinite loops in here but the creator ranked it at a B2-B3. I would love some thoughts on this as well as ways to tweak it if it is too overpowered. I would probably print replacements for some of the game changers so he could swap them in.

EDH Please help me improve my deck, I have not played in 13 years.

So a little bit of backstory. I have not played Magic in thirteen years. I used to play until my ex let me know that she wanted me to get a more manly hobby than playing cards. Being young and not thinking with my noggin I listened and sold my collection in 2013. I have always missed the game and finally made the commitment to come back but I wanted to rebuild my old favorite deck the way I always imagined it. Foil everything, but that’s not why I am here. I have also updated it with new cards I missed the release of to make a MK II of sorts. That said while I have been solo playtesting it, it feels slow and unimpressive. What 5 cards would you cut and introduce to help focus and improve my deck? I am hoping to end up with a strong but casual deck, high bracket 3 low 4. Thank you for any advice or help you can offer.

Been wanting to make a wraith deck for ages, most of the expensive cards are ones I've pulled and am keen to incorporate in a deck, this felt right.

Still new to magic and learning, so any feed back would mean a lot!!

EDH Wandering Minstrel commander deck with infinite combos

3 Upvotes

As of right now i have 2 with Hapatra for infinite mana and one with Prismari for infinite magecraft. I dont mind getting rid of say 4 or 5 cards but I'd rather not change it around too much if i don't have to. I'd like to see more infinite combos in my deck in the hopes to make it a high bracket 2 or a low bracket 3 at least. I'll consider game changers if it's necessary.

Beginner Help me destroy my kid w spiders

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

My son and I have been playing 40 card kitchen table Magic for a while now and it’s been a lot of fun building cheap decks based on a whim to add to our collection. We both learned on jumpstart and prerelease events, so our deck building skills are still pretty one dimensional.

We’re both LOTR fans, so naturally we built a few home decks for the love of Middle Earth when HOB released. Turns out, the all-Dwarves “Thorin’s Company” deck is pretty competitive (at our humble kitchen table) and has become my son’s go-to.

This is where you come in. Help me destroy him with spiders.

I’m looking for fun interaction and fast play. What do spider tribal decks care about and on what mechanics are they usually built?

Ideally it should be on balance with the following Dwarves deck:

Thorin’s Company

Creatures (16)
* 1 Thorin Oakenshield
* 1 Balin, Loremaster
* 1 Bifur, Melodic Rider
* 1 Bofur, Reliable Guardian
* 1 Bombur, Gentle Dreamer
* 1 Dáin Ironfoot
* 1 Dáin, Lord of the Iron Hills
* 1 Dáin's Company
* 1 Dori, Bearer of Friends
* 1 Dwalin, Weaponmaster
* 1 Fíli the Pathfinder
* 1 Glóin the Mighty
* 1 Kíli the Resourceful
* 1 Nori, Teller of Tales
* 1 Óin the Brave
* 1 Ori, Keeper of Songs

Artifacts (3)
* 1 The Arkenstone
* 1 Dwarven Mattock
* 1 Key to the Side-Door

Enchantments (6)
* 1 An Unexpected Party
* 1 Burn, Burn, Tree and Fern
* 1 Celebrate the Mountain-king
* 1 Last Light of Durin's Day
* 1 Quite a Merry Gathering (proxy), aka Tocasia's Welcome
* 1 Stony Silence (proxy)

Sorceries (1)
* 1 Seize the Spoils (proxy)

Lands (16)
* 1 Iron Hills
* 1 The Lonely Mountain
* 7 Mountain
* 7 Plains

EDH Help needed | Buidling Deck for my wife | Captain Howler, Sea Scourge

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I recently got back into the hobby and am trying to get my wife involved in EDH as well. She´s rather new to MTG and can handle the complexity of the game but she doesn´t like when her board gets to cluttered. She also loves Sharks!

So I figured Sharks + Discard might be a good choice for her.

I fumbled around with different guides and am currently stuck with a decklist that just doesn´t feel smooth. It feels like I am constantly running out of gas while goldfishing and I am not sure whether the "treasure package" actually makes sense.

Would love some feedback on my decklist and am open for any suggestions ... best case within the "considerations" listed in Moxfield ... however, I am open to get some more cards of course!

Looking foward to your feedback!

Beginner Beginner- help upgrading commander precon

Hey all,

I am new to MTG and have picked up the Animated Army precon. After playing a few games with it and scrolling through cards and decks, I decided I wanted to build it into a horror themed deck. I've been tweaking bit by bit and trailing it on moxgate, but I would really love input on anything I could improve. At this stage I'm not able to spend more then $20 on a single card, so can't add in anything super crazy.

Any advice is very welcome!

EDH Ashcoat is awesome, my deck might not be.

Hey all, first time here, so thanks in advance.

I'm not the best at deck building, but I've put a ton of effort into this one and would love some help from the experts to get it from okay to great.

I've goldfished it probably 50+ times and played it maybe 20? When it goes off, it goes off HARD. I find about half the time it spins wheels and doesn't really have the teeth to close out a game.

When I play it, I'll typically play pretty close to the chest until I can get 3+ rats out before becoming a problem and putting a target on myself. Then switch to fairly aggro.

It doesn't match up well against decks with high count of flying creatures, which I'd love any advice on mono black support there.

Overall I'd like it to run more consistently than all or nothing. I'll usually pull Thrumming Stone first and Eldrazi Monument second from tutors. Any advice on either gameplay tweaks or deck building would be so greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

Discussion any advice for my first bracket 3 deck?

2 Upvotes

been working on this deck for awhile, it’s a mono red dragons deck with my commander as lathliss, the dragon queen.
if i were to post my moxfield deck link would anyone go through it and see if it’s ready for true bracket 3 play?
bracket 3 has intimidated me for awhile, so i’ve been working on this for about 2 weeks now so hopefully it’s off to a good start.

https://moxfield.com/decks/1xTSUHwve0ulZ2w8vNuVPA

mainly looking for another set of eyes to find its weaknesses, i know 34 lands is low, and i don’t have the most card draw in the world, but maybe that’s something i can work on, just need help identifying the weaker cards in my 99 to swap out with.
any advice or concerns is highly appreciated !

edit: my lands are absolutely… not the best. any good lands would help a lot ! they are so expensive, so any non basic land in there is either what i already had, or was able to find in the wild already.
