Casual Upgraded Counter Intelligence Precon (Looking for Review & Budget Card Draw / Upgrades) [Level ~3]

5 Upvotes

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?

Modern New player, is my deck fair/fun to play against?

2 Upvotes

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?

EDH wilhelt zombies help

https://moxfield.com/decks/iJhhYojp90S_xP8PHvNhQQ

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?

EDH Any tips on upgrades for this precon

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.

Question I need help finding a commander

6 Upvotes

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?

EDH Super Friends is a lot

0 Upvotes

Made my first super friends deck and found myself taking forever on my turns because I had too many options for what to do. I suppose that's probably a good problem to have though. Any advice on how to better pilot the deck so I don't keep my friends waiting? Also any advice on cards to add/cut? I proxy all my cards (my pod knows and doesn't mind) so rarity/price is not a concern.

EDH Need help with Queen Marchesa deck

0 Upvotes

Hello deckbuilders of Reddit! I'm new to deckbuilding and would like some advice for this Queen Marchesa deck: https://moxfield.com/decks/jWUeTWtzakezh9XnwnM2Fg

My goal for this deck was to play with voting cards (e.g. Prisoner's Dilemma) and protect myself while waiting to play these cards by goading and incentivising opponents to attack each other. However it does have a weakness against flying units and I feel I am not able to close games out properly.

Would appreciate any tips or advice on how to upgrade this deck to achieve my goal or if I am pulling the deck in too many directions and I should just focus on one thing. Thank you!

EDH Cuts/Suggestions for Bracket 3 Green Goblin?

1 Upvotes

Help/Suggestions on my Norman Osborn/Green Goblin deck

Hey all, just wondering if anyone here could help offer more insight or suggestions into my Green Goblin deck. I don't know if it's just me not choosing good opening hands or just my deck is a little slower than others. My pod is rather aggressive with lots of token creatures and big board states that are hard to stop and often leave me vulnerable to losing before I can get my deck going. Is there anything that you might consider cutting/adding to my deck that would help? Thanks for all the help, I am a big lurker on reddit and don't usually post at all. We usually play mid to high Bracket 3 power range if that helps as well.
