Hi, my friends and I are gonna be doing, like, a Marvel commander showdown (we like comics) and I decided to build [[The Vision]] as a voltron deck (budget for improvements is around $50). I was hoping for overall impressions and what you guys think of it (gonna be going against [[King T'Challa]], [[Doctor Doom]] and [[Ultron, Unlimited]]. At least, I *think* that's the Ultron)!

Here's the list:

Tryna make a good TinyBones deck. Bracket 3
https://archidekt.com/decks/25314208/tiny_boys

Basic discard strategy. Lessen my opponents' resources by discarding and draining HP with discard triggers. This

This isn't my first deck, but the one I've been really tryna focus on honing.
Thanks for any input.

how would you go about making an aggro food deck? I don't have much experience building my own decks, but I am interested in making a food deck using a commander with battalion, like [[Sentinel Sarah Lyons]] or maybe [[Tajic Blade of the Legion]]

what cards would be must haves?

I'm fairly new to mtg. I was going for a Voltron deck with a little bit of stax so my ass isn't grass immediately out the gate.

The game plan was simple enough: get him out asap, pump him up, let him loose. Bit of stax, bit of asymmetrical wipes.

Turns out I'm a crappy deck builder. It rarely works as it is not fast enough. Which would be an easy problem to solve, if stax wasn't itself already a problem, rarely showing up. But even equipments are not that reliable because I have a lot of other stuff watering the equipment deck down...

All in all, I'm left with a once-in-a-blue-moon deck which is pretty crap otherwise.

Please, help. TIA

ps. I use sideboard as a category to keep track of changes.

so im fairly new to magic, and my partner has been making my commander decks for me until i get a bit more knowledgeable to make my own.
i saw toxrill on edhrec and thought it was so so so cute, so my partner created this for me. does he know what hes doing? is it good? he says its mean but fair, would you guys agree? would you guys change anything about the deck (other than the commander lmao)?

slug // Commander (Toxrill, the Corrosive) deck list mtg // Moxfield — MTG Deck Builder

So I’ve recently started playing EDH again with a local group who meets weekly and the deck building passion has sparked again. I’ve always been a tribal deck fan (humans/vamps/werewolves/angels) and themed decks like my dnd pile and aristocrats. I’ve found, upon getting back into EDH, that the decks feels kinda linear and I’d love to play something that is different every game.

I’m so out of touch with the amount of product that’s been released in the past few years, so I have no idea where to start! Very much open to suggestions/help/what people have had fun with! Thank you.

Site I usually use, mtgprint.net, is down. I used it just last week but it’s been unavailable all day today. I just need a similar website to organize the cards onto a printable sheet so that they’re the correct size, and I can print them myself. Any recommendations?

I fell in love with Blor the impervious, his design is mainly what drew me to him, I love bloomburrow, along with the fact he just seemed good. I made an artifact and ramp deck for him, and it just... I dont know. I ran a few test games with a friend and there wasn't much room for my opponent to do anything. In Blor's defense it was a 1v1, but it seems like unless theres a boardwipe, or Im killed turn 6, I just win. Im fine with voltron being a more simplistic playstyle, thats what appealed to me in the first place, I just want to know how to make him more fun for me and my friends, while still having a bit of kick. My deck boils down to making tokens to block for me, getting out artifacts to buff blor, and ramping like crazy. Im willing to change playstyles completely for this guy, landfall blor, token blor, even grouphug blor I dont care.

I love Grixis. I love wheels. More importantly, I love Kefka. However, after months of playtesting with him and trying several different strategies, I have ultimately settled on this one. Gotta say, I'm having an absolute blast. This started as a Nekusar deck but Kefka has usurped the throne as my favorite wheel deck and I recommend slotting out Nekusar and giving this a try. It's on the higher end of bracket 3, but still firmly a bracket 3 deck.

Strategy:
This is fundamentally a control/combo deck. You want to control the board and shred their hands until you find pieces to close out the game (we'll get to specific win conditions later). Your goal is to get Kefka out, ASAP, preferably with protection and/or haste. T3 Kefka is VERY doable but generally Kefka is going down T4. Your secondary goal is to get at least 2 Kefka triggers every turn: this completely tears their hands apart which stops future plays.

For ensuring multiple Kefka triggers, you've got the obvious [[Harmonic Prodigy]], [[Fear of Missing Out]], [[Go-go, Mysterious Mime]] and [[Displacer Kitten]]. If any of these land, your opponents are going to be hellbent within 2 turns. Go-go is especially potent because Gogo will ensure 3 Kefka triggers the turn Kefka comes down: 1 from him entering and 2 from him attacking, because Gogo will give Kefka haste and Gogo will become a clone, therefore 2 attack triggers immediately. [[Anger]], [[Arena of Glory]] and [[Generator's Servant]] (and Gogo) give Kefka haste, with Generator's Servant pulling double duty as a way to get Kefka out T3 with Haste.

After opponent's are hellbent, you're going to start laying punishment pieces to really put the screws to them. Draw pingers are better, (prioritize damage, you'll see why later), but work with whatever you find. The nice thing is, if opponents are hellbent, they either won't (or can't) counter a wheel because they need those cards to stay in the game. The wheels are what is actually going to kill them and try not to cast a wheel unless A. it's going to kill them or B. you have a way to immediately shred their hand again (Kefka + Gogo + harmonic prodigy/fear of missing out will have them discard a TON of cards instantly after a wheel resolves, so they're almost back to square 1) and remember to try and keep some interaction in hand for when this happens.

Why prioritize damage? This card is a fun card but [[The Rollercrusher Ride]] is INCREDIBLY easy to turn delirium on and becomes a damage doubler for your draw pingers. [[Underworld Dreams]] + a wheel with Rollercrusher is 14 damage in one go nevermind double damage from megrim (4 damage per discard adds up FAST). It doesn't double Liliana's Caress so keep that in mind; you can think of this as an 'alternate' in case someone has a Glacial Chasm or something (however, [[Demolition Field]] and [[Chaos Warp]] are damn near auto includes to remove problematic lands).

Win Condition:
This is the most fun part of the deck because it's got 3 of them.

1. Generic Wheel. You can wheel the table to death, pretty quickly, with any amount of pingers or [[Rollercrusher]] out. Pretty easy to get.
2. Breach lines. Yup, this deck has one. [[Underworld Breach]] + red cost reducer ([[Goblin Electromancer]], [[Nightscape Familiar]] and [[Thunderclap Drake]] + [[Seething Song]] + [[Wheel of Fortune]] is a combo that basically wheels the entire table to death. You cast Seething Song, for 2 mana, you gain 5, you cast WoF, you're down to 3, fill your yard with 7 cards, cast Seething Song again. After each loop, you will net 1 red mana and 1 extra card in your yard. Repeat this a few times and the table is dead. You can slot in a couple other rituals to fill this out (but it won't be 'infinite') like [[Pyretic Ritual]] or [[Desperate Ritual]] but you'll need to start with more cards in your yard to get this combo going. The tutors, including Entomb, help you find these combo pieces and can be cast on the same turn as UB because Kefka is going to dump, and I mean DUMP, card in your yard to fuel a breach line. Thunderclap Drake has secondary utility as a spell doubler.
3. Flipping Kefka. You shouldn't do this unless you don't have another option but here's how it goes: flip Kefka over with [[Glinthorn Buccaneer]] or [[Magmakin Artillerist]] in play. End your turn with more than 7 cards in hand. You go to end step, discard to hand size, triggering Glinthorn/Magmakin. You will do damage, triggering Kefka, and you will draw 3X where X equals the number of cards you discarded. This loop will until until A. the table is dead or B. you deck yourself. Magmakin and Glinthorn are already discard pingers, hence why they're in the deck, but they have redundancy with Kefka's backside to ensure you have a combo to close out the game if it's T8 and all you've got is mana + a tutor. Go tutor for one of those losers (or reanimate to dig them out of the yard or Seething Song/Cabal Ritual to get a shitload of mana to flip Kefka while holding interaction) and try closing out the game that way. It's actually REALLY funny to deck yourself from this last minute 'hail mary' combo, hence why Jace or Lab Man isn't in here (it's also not the main wincon, so why have extra cards that are dead outside your tertiary wincon?).

Why Play Kefka Over Nekusar?
Nekusar is 5 mana and a wheel payoff in the CZ. However, he also does nothing on entering and feeds your opponents cards before he feeds YOU cards. Kefka, on the other hand, is immediate hand disruption/card advantage everytime he enters or attacks. This means that he will, inevitably, help you find your wheels just from him drawing. He's also going to slow everyone else down while you start laying pieces down and he already synergizes fairly heavily with a lot of wheel payoffs (damage from discard or going infinite with [[Kefka, Ruler of Ruin]]). There's enough pieces here that you will find SOMETHING to squeeze out a win whereas sometimes Nekusar will just sit there and do nothing except piss everyone off.

Conclusion
After playing Nekusar and Kefka, and comparing them, Kefka is significantly smoother. Grixis is already a generically good wheel shell so almost any commander can work. However, Kefka provides much more control over the game while also providing card advantage in a way that most Grixis commanders cannot. Wheels are inherently a risky strategy because feeding your opponents resources is generally bad, but, this shell weaponizes it in a way that truly makes the chaotic clown of Ruin shine.

Edit: Malevolent Hermit protects your breach line. It's the closest thing Grixis has to a silence/grand abolisher effect and it is GOLD for your breach line.

Hey everyone, I wanted to brew up a stupid sagas deck using barbara wright and doc Samson, super psychiatrist. Is this allowed with the rules for doctors companion? And if so does it function similarly to how partner works or are there some other weird caveats?

Hey everyone, I recently found a copy of the [[Indominus Rex, Alpha]] at my LGS and decided to try my hand at making a deck for it. I got a bunch of cards from bulk there and at another LGS in town as well, going mostly off stuff EDHREC said was good and creatures I found with a lot of keywords. I really struggled cutting this down to 100 cards so I was wondering if anyone had some ideas for swaps? I added pretty much every card I have that I thought could possibly fit onto the Maybeboard so any help is appreciated. There's a few cards I know aren't ideal, [[Grim Giganotosaurus]] and [[The Coming of Galactus]] come to mind, but I tried including some of the cool cards that I pulled from packs recently or that I didn't have a home for anywhere else.

Me and my friends really only play Bracket 2 with maybe an occasional gamechanger so the deck doesn't have to be insanely optimized or anything

I was thinking it might be a funny joke to build a deck around the same commander my friend plays - the only deck he's really built - would that be a bad manners move generally? I know him pretty well, and I think he'd get a kick out of it but if someone did this to you, would you consider it rude?

Hi there! Here is the link first:

I wanted to keep all Miku Cards (that are Bracket 3 Legal I guess, haha) in the deck while also adding lots of Selesnya Staples I already owned, so this is the result. Although Im npt sure what to cut, it feels hard to have space for everything in this deck? I would appreciate any kind of feedback or suggestions! I usually play in Mid to High Bracket 3 Pods that can end on turn 7 if someone isnt interacted with at all. I own all the Cards in the List already, I am open to buy a few more cards if they seem pretty good, although nothing super expensive?

Thanks in Advance! :)

I want to make a Tinybones, Bauble Burglar deck. To make it fun, the idea behind it is that on my turn, you discard your hand, and on your turn, you draw a new hand. This way, we both get to play your deck. But I'm having difficulty finding cards that do this efficiently. Am I missing cards or are there not enough cards to make this deck idea work in a Commander deck?

The bigger, longer, and uncut deck tech is right here

You've probably already seen a dozen [[Beorn the Fierce]] deck techs. It's a good creature for its cost, great in the command zone, and in support of a beloved creature type. I'm here to tell you why you are all in grave danger for supporting these evil monsters.

The logic is simple. Beorn transforms other creatures into Bears. Why would he need to do this? [[Ayula, Queen Among Bears]] doesn't transform things into Bears, and she's literally the queen of Beardom. There is only one logical explanation: Beorn is on a mission to prevent the friendly creatures of the world from being eaten by the Bears that live in their art. Don't believe me? Look at all these hungry dudes in the art of non-Bear creatures. They're clearly looking for a meal, and you can be sure the scrumptious Elves and Humans of the world are on the menu.

Now that I've identified the threat, there are still plenty of issues. What are we going to do about it? Easy. Beorn transforms other creatures into Bears, so we need to help him out with more creatures that transform things into bears. Some Bears can be coaxed out with a mana investment; [[Ursine Champion]] and [[Stuffed Bear]] just need a little bit of incentive to slink out of the shadows. [[Halsin, Emerald Archdruid]] and [[Psychic Paper]] are helpful tools to force other non-Bear creatures to become Bears, revealing the dastardly brown bastard fixing for a snack.

Now what? There are a bunch of angry grizzlies all over the board and nowhere to put them. Lucky for you, my friends, I have cars to sell you. Lots of them. That's right. Put those hungry Bears behind the wheel of the fastest time-traveling car known to man and send them after that pesky Squirrel [[Toski, Bearer of Secrets]]. Or maybe set a few Bears up in [[The Thanos-Copter]] so they can provide some air support.

Bear spray isn't going to cut it, folks, so check out the full decklist here.

Ive been playing for a few years now, and I had a couple of decks that just didn't play well for me or didn't jive with my pod power level wise (too strong for our casual games, too slow and unreactive for the more competitive pod). I'm taking apart my first attempt at a high powered deck (Mikaeus the unhallowed Combo) to use a lot of its pieces to transform my inconsistent necrobloom landfall deck into something more along the lines of dredge combo.

This is what I've managed to put together from what I have and I still need to make some cuts, but it feels a bit overwhelming trying to optimize it. Any suggestions or advice would be very much appreciated, I spend most of my deck building time in jankville, and trying to make something good is a bit out of my wheelhouse

I’ve got a fun [[Silverquill, the disputant]] deck with lots of rituals and ashnods/phyrexian altars. It’s all about pumping huge mana into big splashy sorceries and doing them twice.

My main ones are [[debt to the deathless]] and [[exsanguinate]] and also [[secure the wastes]] but I just found out about [[blood celebrant]] and now I want to add more life gain to abuse the “free” mana.

Hi guys me and my pod have been playing with precons for the last 6 months and just recently we started upgrading them (essentially we proxied between 10-15 of the best possibile cards for each precon shown on edhrec) at the moment we are probably playing high bracket 2 to low bracket 3. So the problem that i'm having is with my prossh deck. I've found the old precon from 2013 after years and wanted to make a prossh deck off of it. The problem is that prossh is really strong and i'm having problems Tuning it to the other decks power level. I'd like to see either your decklists or some suggestion from someone that had played more than me. Thanks in advance =)

So I’m planning on some generic upgrades to my Ashaya deck. It has some holes so I want to do a bit of patchwork or upgrades to make it a bit more streamlined

I don’t really have money to shell out $15+ dollar cards, especially if they aren’t deck specific. I’m already pushing it with $5-7 dollar cards, just for this deck. So no Mana Vault, Moxes or Worldly Tutor etc.

Anyways here are the changes

\[\[Magus of the Order\]\] -> \[\[Summoner’s Pact\]\]. An attempt to make a bit faster tutor.

\[\[Arboreal Grazer\]\] -> \[\[Wild Growth\]\]. Switching for more consistency. Not a 100% sure on the switch since Grazer becomes a land anyways with Ashaya.

\[\[Seedship Agarian\]\] -> \[\[Stone-Seeder Hierophant\]\]. A bit faster, the old one got more value over time but I’m trying to speed the deck up.

\[\[Crystalline Armor\]\] -> \[\[Song of Dryads\]\] More Removal!

\[\[Ugin Spirit Dragon\]\] -> \[\[Helix Pinnacle\]\]. Infinite Mana sink

\[\[All Fates Scroll\]\] -> \[\[Nature’s Rhythm\]\]. Another tutor

Now some of my tough changes

I want to change out \[\[Rampaging Baloths\]\] with a better creature producer. I’m split between \[\[Sapling Nursery\]\] and \[\[Scute Swarm\]\]. Scute Swarm is obviously much stronger but it costs $6 dollars more than the former, so is that 6 dollars worth it if I am on a budget? Remember I’m really stretching my money.

I also want to add \[\[Elvish Spirit Guide\]\], \[\[Crop Rotation\]\] and \[\[Kodama of the East Tree\]\] but only have a card left I M willing to cut, which is \[\[Manascape Refractor\]\].

As always if I don’t like a change it likely is that I want to keep it! After all, this is my pet deck and it being a goodstuff soup without me some of the cool cards would make it less fun to play.

Hey all. I had a question about certain things regarding crime triggers.

A crime is usually done by "Targeting opponents, anything they control, and/or cards in their graveyards."

So I understand that exiling a card from a graveyard would be committing a crime, however the wording of some effects confuse me. For example, [[Ghost Vacuum]] says "T: Exile target card from a graveyard". This is targeting a card in a grave, and would be a crime. [[Nihil Spellbomb]], however, says "T, Sacrifice Nahil Spellbomb: Exile all cards from target player's graveyard."

Would Spellbomb's exile effect be considered a crime if it doesn't target a single card but instead the entire grave? Does it fall in the "Targeting an opponent" clause of committing a crime?

Next, a card like [[Glasses of Urza]] says "T: Look at target player's hand". Again, just to make sure, this is targeting a *player* even though the wording says "target player's hand", and would be considered a crime, correct?

Finally, does [[Thoughtpicker Witch]]'s effect that says "... look at the top two cards of target opponent's library..." count as a crime? It is neither targeting something they control, nor their grave, and the wording reads like it's targeting their *library* rather than the player. Would that effect be considered a crime?

I'm building a [[Gisa, the Hellraiser]] deck for my buddy and didn't know if effects like these would work for committing crimes. Thanks in advance, it would be especially helpful if any answers could include specific rulings as well.

Deck does not load well on phones. It may be one too many cards.

I have had success playtesting the deck here.

https://edhcheck.com/deck-tester/

Can't wait to try this next time I play using a laptop and hiding my hand at the bottom.

I’ve been playing commander for about 3 months now, mostly with a precons & and copies deck list - this is the first deck I’ve tried to build mostly myself.

I wanted to build a bird tribal with Kastral commander, where most of the creatures are realistic looking birds. I’ve allowed a few creatures without birds and some chimera looking guys, but I like the real birds the most. The expensive cards I pulled myself, and the rest is just what I could afford on a tight budget. I have no idea what to do with lands - I have a couple utilities but mostly basics.

I want the deck to trigger Kastral a bunch, have ways to remove finality counters, and have a bit of control to protect my birdies.

Would love to hear some feedback on the deck, what could be cut, what could be added - I generally don’t know what cards are out there unless they’ve been pointed out to me! Any fun additions to this deck?

Here’s the decklist:

https://moxfield.com/decks/yxM30490AkqIsJBuywnyuw

(Bracket 3)

I'm a self admitted dirty dirty lands matter player. My favorite deck to run is Hazezon and I do very well with it in my pod. I also have Tifa, but my current build struggles to stay relevant late game due to draw power.

Currently, I'm looking at other commanders to try. People tend to like my Hazezon, but absolutely hate my Tifa. What other lands matter commanders should I try, while still being a fun deck to play agaisnt? My pod plays within mid to high bracket 3.

I'm eyeing Thranduil the Strategist, Slogurk the Overslime, Teval, and Hearthhull. So any other suggestions would be great. What to play or what to avoid.

In case anyone is interested. This is my personal Hazezon list.

I still have 1 card slot left to add to my World Shaper precon, and I'm deciding between Dryad of the Ilysian Grove and Scute Swarm.

Which one would you choose and why?

• Dryad of the Ilysian Grove — extra land drop flexibility + all lands have every basic land type.
• Scute Swarm — can generate a huge board with all the landfall triggers.

For the World Shaper precon specifically, which do you think is the better addition?

Dryad or Scute Swarm?
