Beginner This is a follow up post for my Frog centric [Nissa, Who Shakes the World] Commander Deck

2 Upvotes

I was able to get some help from my friend to put together a deck. My goal is to make it competitive with newer precons. The entire thing is to put out high cost spells utilizing my commander [Helga, Skittish Seer]. The concern I have is that I might have too much ramp. Let me know if you have any advice/ substitutions to make the strategy flow better: https://archidekt.com/decks/27577132/nissa_who_croaks_the_world

Question S.O.S. I need to bring down my deck to a 100 cards and I don’t know how

• Upvotes

Okay so the idea is to make the opponent mill as much as possible, to draw a lot and build an horrendous board made of my horrible creatures and as much of my opponent’s as well. (And also have a shit ton of mana to cast all of those pricey spells) planeswalker ultimate are a huge plus to my mechanic (helped by doubling season and vorinclex) but not necessary for win condition (I have other asset in my sleeves) I have a lot of draw mechanism (maybe too much) some unlimited hand to resist the milling and discarding. Other win possible (although improbable if not for an interminable game) is milling down my opponent and I also have huge creature and things to pump them to win by damage.
To resume the situation, I want to steal, i want to destroy, i want to be rich and have my hand filled with possibilities, what do you recommend?

I am fairly new to deck building so any input is greatly appreciated!!

EDH Need Help with my Dack Fayden, Helpin Hand Deck

• Upvotes

Greetings,

I am really fond of the new Set and luckily got my hands on the precon. I instantly wanted to build something around Dack Fayden, since the ability seemed quite absurd and fun+abusable. In the link below you can find my current version. I like the versatile mixture of ramp, protection, blink/flicker to return my creatures, I think all in all there's a really good ratio of "oil in the engine" cards and targets. I also would like to keep - at best - roughly the creatures that are in there now, since this playstyle for me depends heavily on chaining Dack ability triggers and pumping out massive amounts of creatures on to the battlefield. All in all I like this direction, in which I took the deck, since it is my direction. Originally I wanted to aim for Bracket 4 but I think you'd need to focus the deck more for that (also open for your opinions on this!)

[O] Handing out Candies w/ Dack Fayden, Helping Hand • (Mono-White Commander deck) • Archidekt

Nonetheless I am at a standstill. 110 cards and I don't know where to cut/where to focus on. Simply because I have never built a blink deck or anything like this before. I would really appreciate some help with:

  • suggestions for cuts
  • general analysis/feedback
  • suggestions for switches (meaning "switch card xy for yz")

Kind regards and many thanks in advance

Standard Help me finesse my mono-white standard deck?

Helloo! So I am just getting back into mtg after not playing it since high school (close to 20 years, so my deck-building skills are rusty. I would love to get some feedback on my mono-white deck, and also if there are some better cards I could purchase. I do have Giada, Font of Hope and Authority of the Consuls on the way.

I apologize for the crap formatting on mobile.

Modern I am new to MTG deck building and I would really like to build a Frog themed Nissa, who Shakes the World commander deck.

2 Upvotes

The goal would be to synergize Nissa with a lot of frog themed/pond themed cards. I just have no clue where to start. I'm aware the usual strategy for Nissa is to get a bunch of lands that can swing for big damage(that become indestructible). I'm not sure if this clashes with the frog "bounce" strategy. My question is: where do I start and what are some staples that may help me get a feel of where I'm supposed to go. This is for casual commander, but I would like it to be competitive against modern commander precons. Any advice?

Casual Im asking for help building a deck

2 Upvotes

I’ve been playing Magic very casually for years but recently I’ve gotten into commander and I’ve built a deck but I just can’t seem to get it to work how I imagined. I’d love some feedback on my Orzhov deck and where it needs to improve.

This is what I’m playing at the moment + a few extras which I can’t decide on what to swap out for.

Thank you for taking the time to help, I just want to woop some ass you know

EDH Life gain/token pay off commander

3 Upvotes

So this is a mono white deck that is trying to use the cards that give you tokens for gaining specific amounts of life per turn. I’m torn between having Lyra dawn bringer (triggers all of those cards off one swing) or Liliana the faultless (gains life off all the tokens).

While the life gain and tokens are the main game plan I want it to be an Angel deck. And I was hoping the endgame would be to have all of these token makers together and making tokens and then I drop angelic visitation so that all the tokens come in as angels and swing out. With that in mind any other deck ideas are appreciated!

Edit: I can share the cards I intend to build around if you want specifics

My friend and I brewed an idea a few months ago and kinda forgot about it. With the release of the new festival in a box promo Dance of the Dead, I remembered that I had that idea but forgor most of the stuff we thought of. I don't know if anybody here is a fan of Avenged Sevenfold, but I would like some help. I don't care about bracket restrictions except like, high 4 to 5. I don't need that.

Here are the 2 cards and the list I have so far.

EDH Is this Bracket 4?

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

Quick setup - my wife is sort of into Magic but not enough where she wants to build decks and collect cards.

She has this deck I bought from one of those proxy sites that was listed as B4 because I knew she’d be into the art (be a hater if you want but I really am not interested in thoughts on this).

She really enjoys playing it and is more into having one deck she really likes and knows how to pilot rather than a bunch of different decks. She’s gotten decently good with it.

I’m just looking to get some thoughts on whether this deck is really B4. The default Archidekt says B4 cause it has more than 3 game changers. Sure. That’s technically B4. But does it really play at B4 or is it more B3 with an extra game changer?

I’m asking because I like building a bunch of janky budget decks with stuff I have laying around and I regularly beat her and feel kinda bad. I’m sure it’s a bit of a piloting issue cause I know she doesn’t really play optimally, but it’s not necessarily bad or regularly misplayed.

The decks I’ve been building are pretty solidly B2 builds but can maybe play low B3 tables and at least hold their own. We move around a lot so I haven’t really played in a pod or at an LGS in a while so I’m also out of practice in that way.

Either way, I’m thinking of maybe upgrading and have been helping her learn to pilot it better cause I want her to keep having fun. Plus it’s nice to use this deck as a test environment for my project decks as I’m turning them.

So, is this really B4 or should I cut/add some stuff?

EDH How do I move away from precons?

6 Upvotes

I been playing magic for about a year now but almost all my decks are precon with different amounts of upgrades.

How do I move away from just having precon commander decks and how do people find cool unique cards that make for good commanders? Also how to make the decks actually work?

There is so many cards that I don't even know that exist but when you look around I only really see popular stuff so how do you make a deck that's not only unique but also not just copying cool things you see?

My current commanders are:

\[\[Bello, Bard of the Brambles\]\]

\[\[Zimone, Mystery Unraveler\]\]

\[\[Hearthhull, the Worldseed\]\]

\[\[Alania, Divergent Storm\]\] deck i made myself not very good or fun

\[\[Witherbloom, the Balancer\]\] deck i copied for the most part

\[\[Lathliss, Dragon Queen\]\] might swap commander to \[\[Dragonhawk, Fate's Tempest\]\]

After looking around, I’d like to try a deck featuring Ashling, the Limitless; I really like the theme and the playstyle, but I’m not sure whether to buy a base deck and upgrade it, or to purchase (or proxy) the individual cards.

EDH Thoughts on Ms.Bumbleflower

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone :)

I’d love to hear your opinions on [[Ms. Bumbleflower]] . I’ve been wanting to build her, but I’m amazed by how many directions you can take her: counters, group hug, spellslinger... I even saw an Eldrazi build, lol.

I’m leaning towards spellslinger with a hint of counters. I usually play in a strong bracket 3 pod, and people won’t take the group hug bait ^^

So I’d like to know:

  • How do you build her? What archetype?
  • Which cards have over-performed (or disappointed) for you?
  • What’s your experience playing her at a bracket 3 table?

Thanks for your help <3

Cheers!

EDH Serah Farron Toolbox Deck

1 Upvotes

Decklist: https://moxfield.com/decks/sTu2QpaSyUuFjNa7JGQ_BQ

There is no strict budget, but I want meaningful upgrades rather than expensive cards just for the sake of it. I do not want to add any cards on the Game Changers list. I play with different groups, mostly casual EDH around Bracket 2–3 power level, so I want the deck to be versatile without becoming too strong for those tables.

I’ve been working on this Serah Farron deck for almost a year. It’s a Selesnya legendary midrange toolbox focused on protection, disruption, card advantage, and winning through combat. I want answers to a wide variety of situations and a resilient board, with some hatebears and stax effects without turning the deck into dedicated stax.

I’ve organized the cards by their functions in the deck and written a primer explaining how I want the deck to play. I’ve also been researching potential additions and maintaining a list of cards I’m considering. I’m looking for feedback on gaps in the deck, cards that may not be pulling their weight, and which potential additions would make the biggest difference. I want to keep the deck within the casual Bracket 2–3 range. Thanks for any advice!
