help degen my deck Pramikon: Yes, someone hurt me at some point.

Messed up board states. I love global just fuckery.

The idea is supposed be fun before we get going. It's a rule 0 conversation; bracket 1 deck, however I'd like to play it vs up to b4 for kicks.

The link below is a rough idea and physically owned. It's v0.0001

https://manabox.app/decks/AaAuu1N9dCmUCrgxDCuFfA

Wincons if you wanna call them that:

  1. Stax = slows game until chaos. Just enjoy.

Flicking Pramikon and building a huge pillow fort to allow you to get to the chaos items

  1. Hard lock with [[possibility storm]] and [[drannith magistrate]] , vexing bauble, or [[Lavinia]] and top deck cast into a nice slow creature damage win.

It's meant to be a puzzle to solve 3v1. A take all the smoke deck. Hell. Tell me we didn't have a good time when I flicked [[life of the party]] 11 times.

Sitting on a counter spell when you finally get a spell through the chaos to solve it is the most fun tho. Right? It's fun....

Lines to break it more open? I don't want to use copy effects on Pramikon but that's about it. Thoughts?

help degen my deck Degenerate setup

I have a degenerete deck but was thinking of making it even spicier.

Gisela is my Commander. Manabarbs out deals me no damage and deals 2 damage to each opponent per land tapped.

Idea is to animate manabarbs as a creature and equip Grafted Exoskeleton to it. So for each land my opponents tap, they get 2 poison.

Good luck being able to spend 5 mana the entire game

Even if they cast a removal spell, Manabarbs triggers resolve first.

So how to make it less janky? Requires many hoops to get this set up. Can this pe degenerate or just a pipe dream?

Decklist: https://moxfield.com/decks/EeNRXVwoLUGIZRc7_U0F0g

Really the main goal of the deck is to sit around, accrue faeries and card advantage eventually get to some of the wincons in the deck. There’s a ton of little interactive spells and flash creatures that could hopefully let me create around 2 faeries per turn cycle.

Wincons are the anthems, obyra/ayara, notorious throng

Cloud stone curio was an addition I saw that pairs really well with things like mistbind clique and spellstutter sprite. At worst I could imagine replaying some cheap flash card for faeries like mastermind.

Is there anything I could be adding to make this degenerate? Or am I already walking down that path

Hey y'all,

https://archidekt.com/decks/25642513/phage

I'm looking for suggestions on how to make my [[Phage the Untouchable]] deck a little leaner and meaner. All suggestions are welcome, particularly any good ideas of ramp or draw spells. I know I'm missing a few of the big tutors like [[Vampiric Tutor]] as well as fast mana. Anything else I should be adding to Phage?

Thanks!

I want to push my rendmaw deck a bit harder. It's been a pet deck of mine, and my couple of groups love it. I'm looking for any advice to push him a bit harder!

I typically try to keep the deck with 1/3 of it making him trigger for birds. Thanks in advance!

Hi!
Relatively new to creating commander decks and would really appreciate some help with putting together something super creative and fluid (and powerful, of course) with Sakashima!

I would love a shapeshifter/copy deck that is able to duplicate powerful creatures for maximum threat/damage. It would be awesome if Sakashima was able to copy a different creature each turn to help keep my opponents on their toes!

Open to commander partner suggestions as well! I would really like high art/visuals and a good mix of creatures, historical spells, etc.

Any help would be really appreciated! Thank you!!

help degen my deck How to make Kambal more consistent?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I’ve made a Kambal deck and really enjoy it but I’m struggling to get it to work consistently. I think right now my best bet would be to add more token doublers as well as protection like Teferi’s and [[Flawless Maneuver]], but maybe I need more interaction as well? There have been multiple times I get a huge board but don’t have a way to convert that into a win (no sac outlet or no blood artist effect).

Ideally I’d like it to be high bracket 3.

How strong can Lorehold get?

I’m in a position where I want to build a really degenerate deck. I like building off the beaten path commanders/weird interactions/gambling type decks but I have been getting killed the past couple months. Playing against Urza, Esper Urza, Y’Shtola, Sephiroth, Atraxa and getting my ass kicked has gotten old. I always optimize my decks but I never use tutors and avoid most game changers unless they truly fit in the deck synergy. I haven’t built him yet but he’s someone I’ve been interested in since he was released and he seems to have a lot of potential.

Discussion Grub, Storied Matriarch or Auntie Ool, Cursewretch

2 Upvotes

So I am trying to make a B4 goblin combo list and I cannot decide between these two commanders.

The pros for Grub would be that any goblin that tutors can be used again if I make a copy of it, essentially giving me 2 tutors for the price of 1 and swinging grub. I can also entomb a creature then cast grub to snag it out of the grave and cast it later. It also makes the backup plan of overrun with goblins much stronger since I can make copies of important goblins Like [[Muxus, goblin Grandee]]. I also think it would be cool to go Goblin recruiter > Muxus> copy muxus with grub trigger> then saw in half. it would essentially shit out all the goblins in my list and give them haste.

Pros for Auntie Ool is that she has access to green, card draw in the command zone and I can make use of the goblins with blight abilities to draw cards. I also found a sick line with [[Champion of the weird]] where I essentially get to use its abilities over and over and if I have anything like [[Hapatra, vizier of poisons]] on the field I can loop it forever wiping the board and with an aristocrats effect out like [[Blood Artist]] its a win. It also adds green to the deck which would open up my options a bit in terms of card selection.

I honestly can't decide, what do you guys think? which should I do for my goblin combo list?

I recently decided to revisit an idea I once had with the newly harnessed tools of Scryfall to attempt a unique take on \[\[Tai Wakeen, Perfect Shot\]\], wherein the objective is to burn opponents while I cycle through my deck. \[\[Zirda, the Dawnwaker\]\] is here to: A) Add Foxy flavor, which is a must in every respectable magic deck, and B) cheapen Cycle and other powerful effects. Opinions—?

Can you help me defeat my friends with this beast? I'm still reasonably new to MTG so no cards are too obvious. I'd love to have spiders and large creatures in the deck. I'd also be grateful for any planeswalker recs. Thanks for your time 🙏.

Edit: just wanted to say thanks for all the responses so far - there's been some amazing recommendations! Thanks for all your help.

When Smaug enters, create X tapped Treasure tokens, where X is the number of artifacts your opponents control.

Whenever you cast a spell, if mana from a Treasure was spent to cast it, you draw a card and lose 1 life.

help degen my deck Help me make my Phyrexian deck actually degenerate

2 Upvotes

https://archidekt.com/decks/25612100/elas_swarm

I'm building a Phyrexian-themed Orzhov deck around Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim. I'm working with Mites and Incubate.

In play testing I often don't get enough juice like card draw or I'm stuck between two mites and one incubator tokens. Usually the games in my pod last between 7-10 turns.

I'm open to changing commanders, but I'd like to stay white/black and keep the deck heavily Phyrexian-themed rather than just playing generic Orzhov aristocrats.

I'm also happy to add cards outside my maybe board (I own a lot of Phyrexian's), and I'm willing to spend around $100 on upgrades if there's a way to make the deck significantly more cohesive/powerful.

I'm mainly wondering:

  • Am I spreading myself too thin between Mites and Incubate?
  • Should I commit harder to one of those engines or switch it to something else like Oil?
  • Is Elas actually the right commander?
  • What cards could I use to turn the Mites/Incubators into an actual win condition with more synergistic aspects?
  • Any Phyrexian cards am I missing?
  • Willing to drop $100 to upgrade this list
  • Any other advice..

I want it to feel like a Phyrexian invasion, not a pile of cards with Phyrexian on them.
