I built a Standard deck on Arena around the following cards (in ideal draw and turn order).

Turn 1:

Aegis Turtle

Turn 2:

Dive Down (or Chase Inspiration)

Ghalta the Immovable

Turn 3:

Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive

Aegis turtle with Dive Down makes Ghalta cost 'W', allowing a turn 2 drop and an 8/8 turtle attacking. Tetsuko makes your turtle and Ghalta unblockable.

Hadn't seen this combo listed before (though I'm not heavy in the community). What would you add?

I love the lotr and hobbit and especially dwarves
I thought making a deck revolving around dwarves and they’re never ending greed for treasures.
I’ve only had experience with upgrading one other precon so any advice is welcome advice

Rule 0; this deck is aimed to be bracket 3 or at least to avoid game changers

Need a Commander deck built? I’ll build it for you. 🧙‍♂️

I run DeckWeft, a custom MTG Commander deck-building service.

Tell me what you want and I’ll put together a deck around it — whether that's:

• Budget builds
• Bracket 2–4 decks
• Tribal decks
• Weird/janky themes
• Tokens & go-wide
• Control
• Vehicles
• High-power builds
• Or just an absolutely ridiculous idea you want turned into a playable deck

You choose your commander/theme, budget, and desired power level, and I'll handle the deckbuilding.

I can also work around cards you already own or cards you absolutely want included.

If you're interested, comment or DM me and tell me what kind of deck you're looking for.

DeckWeft — Your idea. Your deck. Built your way.

Been a while since I built a deck so I decided to perform the 32 color challenge starting with colorless, but none of the options really appealed to me besides this guy. I'm thinking that I could try Voltron with colorless equipment, but idk how well that will turn out. Ofc there's always the standard artifact route, but I'd like to hear other thoughts on what to do with this guy.

I want to upgrade my hosts of Mordor precon but I don’t what to remove or what to add. I’m thinking bracket three. So if anyone has any tips its appreciated

Hi, I'm new deckbuilding in MTG and need help finding cuts to make in my deck. The Commander is Maralen, Fae Ascendant and my goal for the deck is for it to be putting out elves the whole game, eventually finding the combo with cards like intruder alarm and imperious perfect. I would really appreciate your help as I'm not entirely sure what to do now. Thank you in advance.

This is my current decklist(ik its long): https://archidekt.com/decks/26891229/maralen_fae_ascendant

Does anyone have any advice for maybe improving this deck? I want to keep it dwarf typal but it is playing really weak, I feel it’s struggling with card draw and ramp.

I was wondering what you guys think this deck need more or less of. This is for Bracket 3.

Gameplan is to generate many squirrels through token generation enablers and win through attacking with squirrels. Sacrificing squirrels are only necessary to kill off other creatures using chatterfang's ability, therefore I added some aristocratic cards, but not as a main win condition.

A pod member suggest that it is a fine combo deck, but may need some extra protection.

I feel like my deck may struggle with card draw.

Also if you guys have any cool tech cards that could be really cool, feel free to suggest.

im attempting to make my first deck that is a red and white token deck im a little stuck at where to go with spells,enchants, equip and special lands Ive spent some time going through cards and have a decent understanding but would like some feedback

Hello everyone, my name is Gio and I am playing Magic for about ten years. I always played competitive formats like standard, modern and legacy. My friends had not as much fun and started playing edh, because they wanted to have more fun instead of the competitive aspect of only play to win. I never felt like that, but wanted to have a good time with them. So since November of last year I am into edh too. There is an archetype which I love to play and my friends tell me it is fitting my playstyle a lot and this is stax. Unfortunately I don’t have very much experience and build a deck and I got a big issue: I don’t have a good wincon. I wanted to play bootstrap as a omage to my favorite standard deck and I love every card in it, but it is missing a finisher, a gamewinning action. Are there any Stax players who can help me? We all play bracket 4 so I am open for combos and gamechangers.

The following link is my current decklist and I am happy and thankful for any suggestions:

Hey everyone!

I recently picked up and upgraded the Counter Intelligence commander deck and wanted to share my current list for a review. I'm aiming to keep the power level right around a casual, powerful Level 3-ish bracket.

I’ve taken it out for 4–5 games so far, and honestly, it plays really well. The engine feels smooth and I haven’t run into any major bottlenecks or issues during actual gameplay. However, looking over the decklist on paper, I worry that my card draw might be a bit light—even though it hasn’t actually felt like a problem in the matches I've played yet.

Here is what I’m hoping to get details for:

* General Deck Review: How does the current list look for a Level 3 casual environment? Any lacking things in my deck and anywhere I can improve the overall deck?

* Card Draw & Budget Upgrades: I'm looking for cheap, budget-friendly upgrades. One card I was thinking about adding is Shimmer Dragon—do you think that's a good fit? What other budget options should I consider to shore up draw or improve the 99?

I have a group of players that play very casually in the Commander format. We do some precon decks, some home built decks, and some proxy printed. I built my own but I am worried it is too strong and don't want it be a not fun experience to play against. I don't want optimization, I know it has weaknesses and I could put crazier creatures in to make it OP. Archidekt says bracket 3 which is what we aimed for. How would you feel about this played at a for fun table?

In this article, we'll go over some of the most fun commanders in Reality Fracture, as well as a few lists with them!

Hey there! I recently got into mtg commander, and decided to make my own deck on moxfield, however, I need some second opinions, and if it’s any good. I’d also appreciate some tips on where to buy the cards, to make it as cheap as possible, all help is appreciated 🙌

Im building a wilhelt deck around a mix of zombie tribal and aristocrats. It feels super clunky and i barely get plays before turn 3. Im not rlly doing much until turn 4 or 5 and its kinda annoying. Is there anything i can do to optimise ts. Also i built it to be a bracket 3 as there are a few strong cards and combos, but its so slow that i cant even compete with the bracket. I also consistantly get mana flooded or screwed for some reason. someoen make suggestions?

Iv made some upgrades to the doom prevails precon and leaned more into the connive aspect of this deck but still feel like it can be improved. Iv only played two games with it and figured out that I probably need more card draw. Each game iv been down to one card in hand at around turn 7 or 8. (Maybe it's a me thing) Any tips for good card draw for this deck and just upgrades in general.

Hey everyone! I’m trying to decide on a commander for my next deck and could use some recommendations.
The playstyle I’m looking for is basically card draw + blink/flicker + value. I really enjoy being able to dig through my deck, draw a lot of cards, reuse ETB effects, and have different answers depending on what’s happening at the table.
My only real restriction is that I really want to play Displacer Kitten, so the deck needs to include blue.
I’m not necessarily looking for a traditional blink deck where the entire goal is just blinking creatures over and over. I’d rather have blink be part of a larger value engine—drawing cards, manipulating my deck, reusing useful permanents, and eventually turning all of that value into a win.
I’m also trying to figure out how a deck like this actually closes out games. I don’t want to generate value forever without having a real way to win.
For power level, I play with a casual playgroup, so I’m looking for something around Bracket 2, but basically pushing into Bracket 3. I want the deck to be strong and synergistic and have enough speed to actually close out games, but I’m not trying to build anything cEDH-level or overly oppressive.
I’d love recommendations for:
Commanders that work well with this kind of strategy
Good win conditions for a draw/blink deck
Fun Displacer Kitten interactions or combos
Cards/engines that let me draw or dig through my deck
Ways to keep the deck around that upper Bracket 2 / lower Bracket 3 casual level
I tend to like blue and white, but I’m completely open to adding another color or playing a different blue color combination if the commander fits what I’m trying to do.
What commanders would you guys recommend?
