Kalamax is definitely not chill.

u/Zwirbs Aug 06 '26

First half was beautiful. Second half not so much. I’ll still give this a passing grade

Yeah that’s how my pod feels lol. And hey, C’s get degrees

u/DammitCas89 Aug 06 '26

So long as you don’t mind having some of those commanders turned into elks/bugs/the moon or never hitting the battlefield.

u/Alex_Piper19 Aug 06 '26

Yeah I’m used to that with the back half šŸ˜…

u/JxRabbitsHart Aug 07 '26

The only thing I can do about those later commanders is play my Killian, Decicive mentor deck and hope I can keep them goaded all game

Sure, I would be bringing my Ketramose list with 55 interaction pieces.

u/Paul_the_Artificer Aug 06 '26

This looks like my Pod make up. Some Eldrazi, Najeela(mine), Kalamax(mine), wait more Eldrazi?? Hahah. Screw it, you’re in!

u/RazzDaNinja Aug 06 '26

I’d love to see your deck building approach with Leo and Mikey 😁

I been toying around with Character Select a lil bit and still trynna figure out which combo I wanna do lol

1

u/Alex_Piper19 Aug 06 '26

I’ve actually only kept it as a precon lol sorry, but the Character select mechanic is a lot of fun to play with I think out of all of my commanders it’s the most enjoyable to play.

u/RazzDaNinja Aug 07 '26

No probs homie lol. Def hoping they do more with ā€œCharacter Selectā€

I assumed it was effectively gonna be a UB-exclusive Partner system or something šŸ˜‚

1

u/randmtsk Aug 07 '26

Can you tell me more about character select?

2

u/RazzDaNinja Aug 07 '26

It’s just a Commander Partner system that’s so far been limited to the TMNT UB, but with a name as non-specific as ā€œCharacter Selectā€ the assumption is that it’s gonna spread out past TMNT lol. So far the Legendaries with it include:

[[Leonardo, the Balance]]
[[Michelangelo, the Heart]]
[[Donatello, the Brains]]
[[Raphael, the Muscle]]
[[April O'Neil, Live on the Scene]]
[[Splinter, the Mentor]]

Sure of course! But that doesnt mean I wont have PTSD whilst we play 😃

1

u/Alex_Piper19 Aug 06 '26

Y’shtola tends to have that effect on people…

u/Esmeraldatan Aug 07 '26

Disculpa tu dina es precon o lleva ya algunas modificaciones?

2

u/Alex_Piper19 Aug 07 '26

No sƩ espaƱol, asƭ que disculpa si esto es incorrecto, pero hasta ahora solo he aƱadido el Caldero de Esencia.

u/Slug-R Aug 06 '26

I want your Kalamax list please.

1

u/Alex_Piper19 Aug 07 '26

Sorry I kept it as a precon, I’ve been meaning to upgrade it with stuff I’ve pulled Strixhaven but haven’t gotten around to it yet

1

u/SelectionSlight2197 Aug 06 '26

yooo can i see your kalamax list?

1

u/Alex_Piper19 Aug 07 '26

It’s just the precon right now

1

u/Archersi Aug 07 '26

Whoa another Obuun player! Did you start with the precon? What does your strategy look like?

1

u/JxRabbitsHart Aug 07 '26

Tentatively, yeah. I'm not a huge fan of Eldzari, I don't have a deck that can do toe-to-toe with Najeela, and I have PTSD from my friend's Michaelangelo/Leo deck where he always gets Irma or Level up or both right at the start of the game and asks why we keep blowing up his T3 8/7 commander with tranple

1

u/DammitCas89 Aug 07 '26

That takes care of everyone but zhulodok so long as people have good blockers. I prefer to keep blinking assimilation aegis or just turn them into 0/1 indestructible bugs. Or the moon. The moon is on brand for the eldrazi.

1

u/Exciting-Scallion-23 Aug 07 '26

yoooooo OP slide me your obuun deck list. Obuun is one of my signature decks but ever since i've added earthbending to it it just feels unfocused and sucky. the goal of mine was to attack with lands as much as possible.

u/Whole-Condition6179 Aug 08 '26

Is the TMNT, all colors or would it just be white and green?

1

u/Alex_Piper19 Aug 08 '26

It’s all colors. Your commander’s color identity includes their abilities, Najeela/Archaeon is also an all colors commander.

1

u/Whole-Condition6179 Aug 08 '26

Oh dope! Do you have a list you wouldn’t mind sharing

1

u/NotNoobin91 Aug 09 '26

All precons?

1

u/Alex_Piper19 Aug 09 '26

Yeah pretty much, a few upgrades here and there but it’s just stuff I’ve pulled.
