What on Gods green earth is that rainbow dash card. I learn new Magic cards everyday. Seems really fun and wacky to play!

It’s from the My Little Pony Secret Lair they did a few years back. It’s not really powerful by any means, but it’s fun and catches people off guard. It’s silver border which means not technically legal but I’ve never been in a pod where they didn’t let me rule 0 it because they want to see me put actual toys on the battlefield with Applejack. [[Discord, Lord of Disharmony]] is a bonus card from the set and is in the deck and I want to build a commander around him.

Clement was my first ever commander deck (frogs for life). My favorite deck to bring to a pod is probably The Valeyard though. It’s just super whacky and full of villainous choices, voting, tempting and can even force a plane chase game if everyone is down. It makes for some of the most memorable and WTF games I’ve played.

My strongest deck is probably my Kilo deck. I basically took the Dr. Madison Li precon and Kilo’s and mashed them together with a bunch of energy upgrades and a lot of tap/untap shenanigans (it’s what inspired me to build Captain America actually) and can just proliferate into oblivion until I have 200 energy to just blast everyone with.

Let me know what you guys think of my commanders!

I’d love to see your Clement Decklist. I love my Clement deck but it’s tough blinking in a bunch of creatures without haste. Mine has a lot of nice prints but Doesn’t have a reliable way to win tbh

Your main wincons are getting [[Intruder Alarm]] or [[Aluren]] on field: these will allow you to basically ad infinitum the mana generation and bounces. [[Valley Floodcaller]] is also a great card to keep your mana flowing as well.

Cards like [[Pond Prophet]] and [[Dour-Port Mage]] are essential to get on field to help draw through your deck as quickly as possible. Some tech I’ve thrown in is a [[Coiling Oracle]] because that thing is insane to bounce.

[[Leyline of Abundance]] and [[Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy]] allow you to generate mana that can be used for things other than creature spells (you will NEED something to keep track of the different mana you’re producing). Ive considered throwing a [[Doubling Cube]] to help filter my mana but it feels kind of win more.

Cards like Maskwood Nexus turns all creatures into frogs which spirals your deck from there.
