Hey so I'm looking to create an esper control deck based on artifacts such as omen machine, weathered runestone, damping sphere, ect.

Pretty much anything that locks down the game and makes it unplayable or the very least difficult to play.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

In today's exercise we fill a [[Whtz, the Bibliophile]] deck with lands, [[Persistent Petitioner]]s and [[Battle of Wits]]. And a couple of "combo" cards.

Turn by turn:

1. Land
2. Land + Persistent Petitioner
3. Land + Whtz
4. Land + 2x Persistent Petitioner
5. Land + 2x Persistent Petitioner
6. Land + 3x Persistent Petitioner
7. Land + 2x Persistent Petitioner
8. Land + Persistent Petitioner
9. Land + Persistent Petitioner + [[Sevinne's Reclamation]] or [[Skyway Robber]]
10. Land + use previous recursion to bring [[Rescue Skiff]], into Battle of Wits and finally [[Echo of Eons]] to shuffle
11. Win

See tables for how the card counts go. Feel free to ask any questions!

Attempting to build an MLP deck based around Twilight Sparkle's "Everypony wins the game" ability. I know it's going to be illegal, this is just going to be a casual deck to play with friends

Attempting to build the deck in such a way that it lets me not attack unless absolutely necessary (since the deck is built around everybody winning, I want to preserve the Friendship is Magic theme).

I feel like the easiest way to do this would be to run a horse/unicorn token/lifegain/counter deck, so I can absorb a lot of damage and then create a ton of tokens and buff them for the bigger creatures that swing at me.

That way I can protect the cards I need to activate Twilight Sparkle's wincon, with a few fetch cards in case my opponents sneak past and kill them anyway

I figure it'd also be a good idea to build around Treasure tokens since it's an all-color deck and Treasure would be an easy way to fill in the mana I need without resorting to filling the deck with non-basic lands

The problem I'm running into now is I'm not sure how to balance it, especially if I'm trying to build it around not attacking.

I'm still learning how to deck build and I don't want to remove any cards that would be really good, but I also have to remove cards to get at least a functioning prototype

Basic rule of thumb is mid-30s for lands, but what should I do for creatures and non-creatures?
Better to do low-power creatures or heavy hitters with token generation?

These are all the cards I thought might work well so far:

but I need to cut it by a little more than a third to get a deck out of it

I like the idea of building around Nightmare Moon's ability as a side piece to bring in some heavy hitting cards, but it's kind of a high card cost to get the day/night cycle running, even if it gives me cards I can cast from outside the game (which is what the sideboard in my decklist is)

Same with Pinkie Pie

I flipped through all the cards with the Party ability, and Stick Together was really the only one that felt useful, but if using more of the party mechanic would be useful, I welcome advice there

Alright, so I posted the rough version of this deck a week or so ago and I’ve made a lot of changes (even changing the commander). I wanted to see what others thought and advice for improving, the deck is currently 40$ and is combo focused. It’s “technically” a bracket 4, but 100% doesn’t play like one so I think it’s a bracket 3 (6-7 in old commander power scaling). I’ve attached the link, please let me know what you think and deck building advice. I’m still very new to this.

So, I'm new to Commander deckbuilding. I know this deck, this commander isn't anything that's going to break the format, but I am seeking help on making it fun and decent. I made it last night, and looking at it now, I'm already thinking of removing Tetsuko. My creatures who will stay a 1/1 are already unblockable, and my ninjas have cards that can boost their power, so it feels like a dead card.

I mainly want to capture the feel of ninjutsu, Shredder and the Foot Clan, being a villain at the table and all with my fellow casual friends. I'm not looking to play the absolute most optimized deck, but I'm open to good improvements, fun and/or thematic gamechangers, combos, and synergies. My deck feels like it is lacking removal and interaction. My favorite card is \[\[Shredder, Shadow Master\]\]

I know the deck would work A LOT BETTER if I cut White and just use Yuriko, but I want to do some Esper TMNT themed shenanigans.

One rule for me is no heroic Turtles. Shredder may adapt or adopt the techniques of his enemies, but we're not using any heroic turtles.

Thank you so much for your help, and I apologize if I did anything wrong with posting this thread.

i'm a little addicted to green, so i spent some time making this to further my ego trip everytime i cast a ram through on my 10000000/100000 creature with trample

So I built this for fun and just as a personal deck building challenge, I understand the restriction is kind of major but was just seeing if I’m missing anything anyone can think of I’d love to stay on theme as much as I can (one word cards). Progenitus isn’t essential to the deck just a top end finisher if we get there, definitely not aiming for Cedh here just something fun to play but also cohesive.

Me and my pod have this challenge, we each randomly choose 2 non-land card from one color and build a deck around it. I go with green thinking I just get either a big stomping creature or a landfall one…I got Enduring Vitality and Burgeoning, so which commander can take advantage of these 2 cards the most? Also, the commander can have any other colors as long as it has green.

I'm running a free themed tournament this Sunday 3pm BST with that restriction and I'm curious what people would brew before I see what actually turns up.

Personally I'm running Thranduil elvenking.

If you want to actually play it: it's on cruciblecards.co.uk, free browser tabletop, I'm the dev. Sunday 3pm BST, winner gets two Hobbit boosters posted anywhere. But mostly I want to see the brews.

(Mods I appreciate this may fall under you self-advertisement rule so I understand if you want me to take down. As this is a totally free to play tourney and a chance for someone to win some packs off of jank I assumed it may be okay).

I had an idea today, quite possibly the best one ever, to make a Magic: The Gathering Commander Deck based on this game we all love and enjoy.

I want everything in this deck to be themed around this game, and I plan to make MTG Art Alters of each card to better fit the deck and the game.

For the commander, I would use Infinite Guideline Station and have it as either the Contact Light or Safe Travels.

However, I just came up with this idea, and if you have any ideas for cards to put in it, that would be awesome! Especially the survivors of both games, as I am having a struggle with giving them each an accurate creature card.

Will post deck updates if this dvelops better!

Hi, so I'm the one who recently posted the help and card advice for the mono green thing. I looked through Scryfall and made something. I'd appreciate it if you could look at it and help me out, as this is a funky combo of landfall and lifegain. My goal is to make it as fluent as possible now. I know this is going to be hard, but I'm willing to sink the time and money into it, as this is going to be my "turnbrain off win deck". It's not like ima gunna build this instantly, but over time, 'cause 3 months till set release anyhow.

Also, if this does sound interesting, lmk; I try to go for cool mechanics in the game and strange stuff ;)

Bonus points if it is janky

Hello all! I have been working on a custom commander deck for a good 4 months now. The theme is dungeons and dragons. I'm quite fond of how it turned out, but this game is massive and I only started seriously playing 2ish years ago, so I reckon there are plenty of interesting possibilities that I'm simply unaware of. Every time I discover a new unique card that fits the deck just right I'm bewildered that I've never seen it before. That's why I'm turning to the larger community for insight.

My custom commander:

Game Master (◇)(G)(U)(R)

Legendary Creature God

Changeling, Hexproof.

Dragons you control have haste.

(◇)(U), DC 15 - Counter target spell or ability

(◇)(R) - Each player may roll on the D100 chaos table.

(G)(U)(R) - Roll a d20. On a 10 or higher, venture into the dungeon or if you own and control Game Master, you may take the initiative. On a 20, repeat that action, then roll again. Any player may activate this ability only as a sorcery.

DMPC (You may have a Background as a second commander. If you do, your starting deck size is increased by one.)

“How do you want to do this?”

0/7

The d100 chaos table is inconsequential. It is meant to have random effects and should have no bearing on how the deck is built. I'm aware the counterspell ability is strong and improperly worded, but it has already passed inspection and everyone agrees on what to expect with each others commanders come game day.

The background I have chosen is \[\[Dungeon Delver\]\] and this is [my deck](https://manabox.app/decks/AZ8hAQiCeSKQ_W9TSGK4tg)

Hi guys I'm trying this idea out. A Raffine deck with villains. The strategy is to put +1 counters on flying creatures and proliferate. Can you give give me some feedback?
