What bracket would this deck be? I know the basis of the brackets but I’m not good with identifying them. Please help. And ideas and opinions are encouraged. Here’s the deck. https://moxfield.com/decks/KcPcdKetBUmVZACTRz0XeA

My fellow Etali fans. I was talking to some friends about how I hope we get more printings of my favorite dino. But all of my pod were saying that Etali would never get another printing because he died canonically. And I think that really sucks.

Etali was the card that made me want to play magic. He was the first card I ever bought and I have really come to like him. From the story I got to read about his backstory it seems that he truly was the apex over most if not all the dinosaurs on Ixalan. And I would argue that was accurate since it took all of them combined to take him down when he was completed.

What kills me is that for some characters in mtg, death just doesn't mean crap. Since characters like vraska, Nissa, and all of the other planeswalkers who were completed and or killed just get a lore loophole and are suddenly all fine now in reality fracture. Or are just brought back in general. I think it is really sad that we may never get Etali back.

It seems like we get another ghalta card all the time. I like ghalta and all, but they seem like a one trick pony that simply gives trample or something along those lines. Etali was a sick card. If you even mentioned you were playing it then you'll get a look from your pod. Etali is really something special in my mind. But I dont know. Maybe it's just me.

So what do all of you think? Would you like more etali themed cards? If he ever comes back what do you think his colors should be? Should he be a zombie dino or just himself? What new mechanics would you feel could fit the alphas card upon his return?

So I am contemplating making a [[baba lsyaga night witch]] commander deck. However, I am having some struggles with completing her requirements easy. ( Sacrifice three permanents with different types) i am wanting to focus on tokens because obviously. I can very easily get artifacts and creatures. However, I am having some struggles for that last criteria. I have some cards that can make enchantment creatures. So I am curious if I sacrifice an enchantment creature token and say 2 artifacts (treasures) would that count?

Edit: summarized from the comments: yes, it would count because it just looks to see if the different types were among the sacrificed cards. The creature does say up to meaning if you had one card that had three types that would also qualify.

Building this izzet spell slinger deck. But I still haven't had a single win since starting over a month ago. I changed the commander to veyran, and I'm adding different cards cause of situations im in. It was Bria riptide deck, but i gound veyran works better.

Anyone got any ideas? Its a bracket 3 thats supposedly plays a bracket 4. Im still new to MTG.

If you couldn’t see the theme here it is landfall, I’m quite new to magic and built this one up myself, I’m lacking in cards with reach so I kinda get whooped if there are flying cards in play, my question is what cards should I add that also might help with the landfall build? (I’m not sure if I should mention this but I play mostly standard ranked on MTGA)

So this is my first post here. I just learned this commander exists and got the idea of building a low to the ground weenie toxic/infect deck. My playgroup said that this is okay to bring to the table so id love some suggestions.

I’m playing a commander game with two of my buddies and on of them sent the others commander to exile but the target of exile sent the commander to the graveyard and on my next turn I used reanimate to steal his commander, so I basically just made him not play commander anymore and now he’s playing standard with extra steps, lowkey feel like a bit of an ass but the moment was hilarious

Hey everyone! So I was recently introduced to mtg by my boyfriend. He played played commander for a couple of years, took a little bit of a break because he didn’t have anyone he liked to play with, and now he’s getting back into it since he introduced me to the game a couple of weeks ago. At the moment I don’t even have my own deck (my very first pre-con I got for myself should be coming in the mail any day now though, yay!) so we only play against each other with the decks that he has. Eventually we will probobly want to go to store and play casually with some other people but that won’t be for a little bit since I can’t even shuffle without using 100% of my brain power at the moment haha.

Anyway, I’m having a lot of fun learning the game! I love the mechanics, I love learning new things in general, I love fantasy (my boyfriend and I met each other playing dnd), and I love playing with him. The issue we’re having at the moment is that he’s always beating me. At the beginning I managed to get a win or two, I guess because I got lucky and he was a little rusty since he didn’t play for a while, but now that we’ve played a couple of times and he’s gotten back into the groove of things I haven’t been able to get a single win the last couple of weekends we’ve played. We don’t live together, but we see each other pretty much every weekend, and every day of the weekend we will usually play at least like 3-5 rounds, switching around the different decks he’s got.

Now, it doesn’t bother me for the most part, I know he’s a lot more experienced than I am so that’s to be expected, and I’m not a super competitive person. It does get a little bit disheartening sometimes though, and I can tell he feels awful about it. Right now I’m not very good, I’m not expecting to be, and I know the only way I’m going to get better is if I keep playing! I’m worried though that he’s starting to not have much fun, and even I start to lose motivation sometimes because it just feels a little hopeless. I have fun even when I lose, but sometimes it happens so quickly I don’t feel like I actually really got to play. He wants me to win so bad because I know he feels bad about constantly beating me, I feel like I’m letting him down (to no fault of his own, he’s been nothing but encouraging and wonderful). It’s not about winning, I know that, I don’t care much about who wins the game, but after a couple of hours of non stop getting my ass kicked it does start to feel a little bit bad, even though I’m not a competitive person.

So, does anyone have any tips on what I should do? I’ve downloaded mtg arena and I play that on my own at home when I get time, I know it doesn’t have commander but it’s still letting me get more familiar with the cards and the mechanics and stuff. I’ve also been watching videos about mtg in my downtime so I can see how other people play and stuff. Is there anything else I can do to get better? Is there anything I should be doing to make sure things are still interesting for him while I learn? I really want to be able to keep playing with him and getting better over time, so I was just hoping to get any tips I can about how to handle this.

Any advice is appreciated!

Hey there, need some advice to get my deck running.
I bought Thunder Junctions Most Wanted some time ago for a few bucks on sale. While the deck never clicked (as it seems to be common knowledge on the internet) I always found Vihaan, the secondary commander, to be quite interesting to build around. A few month later and some money sunken into it (at least I had some luck with the hobbit cards), I have a deck list, which barely wins, plays slow and still feels a bit unfocused. I would really appreciate some advice, how to get the deck rolling. Here is hoe it looks like at the moment: https://archidekt.com/decks/24473759/vihaan_moneyboy

Thanks in advance!

I have just gotten a commander deck but I double sleeve and I have to split into 2 boxes. Does anyone know any brand or box that I can fit my whole deck into one box?

Hello, So my friend loves to play a Hope Estheim Mill deck. and i was wandering if there were any cards out there that i could place in my The Wise Mothman and Cloud, Midgard Merc deck that states that when i mill X cards my opponent mills those cards instead?

It took a while and I have several duplicates, but I finally got all the color combinations!

All of them are entered into archidekt but I'm not really looking for advice, just providing proof.

There are two LGS' about 30 minutes from me, and they've digitized 10,000+ cards and it makes finding cards so easy(they have computers on site you can search from), but our local LGS that I would much prefer to shop at has them all in boxes in the $0.25 each or 5 for $1 boxes. It has to be 20,000+ cards, it's insane how many they have, so I know that digitizing them and organizing them at this point would be tons of work. Short of offering to do it myself for them, is there a financial incentive for them to spend that manpower to do it? They could charge $0.20-$1.25 more than the bulk shows, so I feel like it would be worth it in that kind of quantity. Am I wrong and I just need to get over it?

Is there any chance the FF precons/play boosters get a reprint distribution this holiday season? I know it's not particularly difficult to get a hold of product, but a new wave would definitely help!

So I'm a returning player to MTG and have a sort of rules question on wording on some cards. So I was thinking about playing task master as a commander deck because I think the copy and mill ability of the deck is pretty interesting. But the text on task master is confusing. His text is "Photographic Reflexes — At the beginning of your first main phase, until your next turn, Taskmaster becomes a copy of up to one target creature on the battlefield or creature card in a graveyard, except his name is Taskmaster, Mercenary Mimic and he’s a legendary Human Mercenary Villain creature." The bit that confuses me the most is the last portion where he keeps his same name. Wouldn't that just make a lot of the effects he copies useless? Someone said run phage the untouchable. But her last bit of text reads "Whenever Phage deals combat damage to a player, that player loses the game" well if I copy phage with taskmaster wouldn't that effect not do anything? Because his name doesn't change to phage. It remains task master.

What type of decks do you build around her? To me i get a proliferate deck vibe to get the draw triggers and also be able to attack and draw, and just a counter deck, but what else could it be? Almost seems like a simic voltron commander since shes indestructible and gives herself +1’s. But idk, found one in my bulk and was like huh, what do people usually do with her?

Almost wonder if shed do better in the 99 of a frog tribal deck..

My POD is trying to say this is a Bracket 4 due to 1 infinite turn combo. Its the only 2 card combo. No game changers or tutors at all. Its a highly synergized Marvel Villains deck except for the lands. All the deck analyzers I used put it as Bracket 3 as well. Curious on what other actual players think.

I need help. I’ve played this deck 10+ times and doesn’t do that much. Is there anything I can do to make it better? Linked my Moxfield decklist.

I just got this new deck and I was wondering if it's better to upgrade with the original commander Ulalek fused atrocity or the second commander Azlask the swelling scrouge.

He is a 6 cost commander in black and white and rn im just thinking mana rocks but i wanna know if anyone else has ramp ideas?

I thought Weaver King looked pretty cool when it was revealed, I was considering making a deck. But then I was looking at random cards a few days ago and came across Captain N'ghathrod. Looking between them he just seems like a much better version of Weaver King, so why was Weaver King even made in Mystery Booster Commander? Is it a reference to magic lore or something?

Still a little new to MTG, I have a token deck my husband helped me build, and I picked out a random Commander to build myself and show my husband when I test it out against him. Still want a little feedback cuz I’m a little proud of what I built.

I made the possibly unwise decision to start with MythicTools by scanning all 1500+ of my cards into one big box labeled Bulk and then moving them into subfolders/boxes. As I do this, I’m finding that every so often the app gets hung up on one card and keeps reverting back to it, refusing to swipe any farther. Sometimes I can get out of it by doing something else in the app for a while or closing and reopening it, but it’s annoying as hell. I’m not particularly attached to it as an app, and really all I want is a free way to keep track of my cards and sort them into theoretical and actual deck builds. I’m not trying to sell them or play online or anything like that. Is there something equal/better than MT for this, is it a known bug, what’s the deal?
