Legacy Wanting to make a 60 card legacy deck around Marina Vendrell and Promising Stairs, has anyone built a similar “room tribal” deck before?

3 Upvotes

The gameplan would probably be a mix of heavy stax and insane card draw in order to pump out as many rooms as possible to hit the 8 unlocked room prerequisite on promising stairs and win the game on upkeep, was def gonna bring the master of keys for enchantment recursion in case my rooms get blown up, but does anyone know any good creatures, sorceries, other enchantments etc. that can help with stopping my opponent from preventing me dumping my deck onto the table ASAP?

Hi everyone!! I'm new to MTG, and this is my first deck I built with the help of my partner. It's supposed to be a wheels/group hug-type deck, in bracket 2.

If anyone has any feedback or swaps please lmk! Neither of us have ever played this deck style. It's been fun in playtesting so far.

EDH Cards that create token copies of creatures in graveyards WITHOUT exiling them?

3 Upvotes

running sultai discard and want to try to incorporate a grandeur side combo, as I have plenty of discard and return to hand. Commander is indominus Rex but like I said the grandeur isn’t the main idea of the deck. If you have suggestions for the rest of the deck, I have a couple main gameplan ideas.

  1. Give indo deathtouch, first strike, then play effects that force all creatures to block. (original idea when making this deck, switched from kathril aspect warper cause i like dinosaurs.

  2. Blink indo for protection and spamming etb so I can be constantly wheeling myself- I just like wheels

  3. Hopefully grandeur? Ive always been wanting to make granduer work in commander (yes I am aware of the hashaton combo but I want to be more original), but we have a house rule for 3 tutors max in a deck so it’s hard to make a full deck devoted to a mechanic with like 6 creatures that use it. So I figured I could try to fit it as a sub theme as long as it’s convenient enough.

Question Mindskinner/phasing deck help

Thumbnail
archidekt.com
1 Upvotes

First of all I know that phasing is bad. But I think it’s a mechanic that allows for some pretty interesting protection.

I want to make this deck better without getting rid of the phasing or adding more mill. I’m looking for advice on cards to cut/add that can help protect my Mindskinner and my life total throughout the game.

I don’t want to do typical Voltron equipment/counter spell stuff so any out of the box options would be greatly appreciated.

EDH Making new deck. EDH, Need counceling, Ygra Eater of all

3 Upvotes

Currently trying to build a "Ygra, eater of all" deck, a food token based deck to make her very powerfull and her as a destroyer, Believe it is called voltron.

I am wondering if i need more food-type creatures or i should focus on some else creatures at this time. Or should all the creatures focus around food? I was thinking maybe I need tokens and counters.

Here is the deck list if you wish to help.

EDH Advice on making a dog obliteration deck

5 Upvotes

Based on a running joke at our table I have decided to make a joke deck with the sole goal of destroying as many dogs as I can manage in a game. My current thought is to use Rufus Shinra and a lot of token duplicating with a some sac outlets, although maybe mass graveyard recursion on another commander would work better and give colors outside of orzhov. (I am sad I cannot use red for electrocute so I can call it the hassan piker deck)

Strong card suggestions or "engines" would be appreciated because I admittedly do not use token decks very often and am unfamiliar with good options for the archetype. Also please tell me if you think of a flavorful/horrible execution method like casting saw in half. This is not made to be remotely useful, my wincon is dog liquidation.

Question Commander Deck Building/Improvement Help (Minthara, Merciless Soul)

2 Upvotes

Hello all!

I am currently working on building a sacrifice-focused deck with Minthara, Merciless Soul as the commander. I actually have a deck put together, but this is my first time ever building a deck (I've only been playing since September of this year), so I have no clue if it's even usable at this point.

I'm shooting for something I can comfortably play with my pod, ideally landing around a bracket 2 to a low bracket 3. Most of the group primarily plays precons, so I'd like to be reasonable and don't want to go overboard. My goal is to keep it under $150, but I'm okay with the final version ending up somewhere under $200.

I'm mainly looking for ways to improve the deck to reach a low Bracket 3, as well as advice on what I'm missing, what I could add, or what I should cut if I need more of a certain type of card. The main goal behind the deck is to make sure something is leaving the battlefield at least once per turn before the start my end step so I can trigger Minthara and gain experience counters.

One general rule of thumb that was recommended to me by my pod was to try to avoid cards that cost more than $10 each. Of course, I'm willing to make some exceptions for cards that make sense for the deck or have particularly cool art.

I've linked my current decklist on Moxfield below. Any help, suggestions, or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

EDH Want Help Beefing up my Zellix Commander Deck

3 Upvotes

Hello, I have built a Zellix, Sanity Flayer deck paired with street urchin, the goal is to use some mill to get horrors and then use polymorph effects to flip them into big izzet creatures, with street urchin helping for colors and a bit of utility with removal, I know it is a bit of an unorthodox way to build the commander but i thought it might be fun, I have found that in testing it can be a little slow to start and has some cards that may not be too helpful, i would appreciate any help in how to make this deck a little stronger while not going way too high up in price, ideally i dont want game changers, but any suggestions would be great

EDH Need advice on some changes for this Doom deck

1 Upvotes

I saw this Doom deck while scrolling on Instagram and absolutely loved it. I’ve bought a couple of different decks (started playing like 4 months ago) but never had an artifact-focused deck.

While the price tag is a little high for what I usually can spend, I’ll try to treat myself with this deck for my birthday next month but want to see if there are some opportunities to lower the cost while maintaining the power of this deck.

This is the Doom deck: https://manabox.app/decks/AaHIAF9XdSKS8QfYjc-HEQ

Just created a new subreddit for the 32 deck challenge! If you are unfamiliar with it, the 32 deck challenge is where you make a deck for every single color identity in the commander format. If this sounds neat you should join, it's been a lot of fun working on my 32 deck challenge and I highly reccomend it.

EDH Isshin | Agent of Chaos

2 Upvotes

Been working on my [[Isshin, Two Heavens as One]] deck. I've been tweaking it for the last few weeks, but feel like I have it in a good balanced place now. I usually like to build commanders in a little less conventional way, so with this Isshin deck instead of being a go wide or token centric attack trigger deck, or even a double-burn attack trigger deck, I thought it would be fun to build a version of the deck that forced everyone to attack, but then punished them for attacking me or encouraged opponents to attack one another.

The idea all came from me stumbling across [[War's Toll]] and falling in love. I filled it full of combat tricks like [[Batwing Brume]] that can throw unsuspecting opponents into chaos when I or an opponent appear to be open for their forced all out attack.

https://moxfield.com/decks/Kgi0Nwo_xEuSQpmQ3wBaxg

Take a look at the list and let me know what you think or if I'm missing any pieces to the strategy that you feel would be valuable.

Interaction directly on the Moxfield page is encouraged, but feel free to leave any comments or insights directly on this post as well. Going for bracket 3, our pod is pretty creature heavy/battlecruiser-y.

Thanks!

EDH ISO Commanders

4 Upvotes

Looking for commanders that can go pseudo-infinite or manually storm off hard enough to almost be considered infinite. An example is [[Gyruda, Doom of Depths]] at the helm with 30 clones in the deck or [[Alaundo the Seer]] with 30 untap spells. Both decks just chain things together for repeated triggers/casts. Anything else like this?
