ive been working on this speedy artifact combo deck for a few days, and im almost done. but i ended up cutting some slower cards and im wondering what could go in the slot. i have a large maybeboard but im wondering if there are any good pieces im missing/ if anything in my maybeboard should be in main. of course playtesting is needed to see what the deck needs, and if i were to say it needs anything it would probably be either some form of consistency improval like draw/tutors, but i feel like ive already added a decent amount. could also excuse more ramp and i have been eyeing [[tataru taru]].

if you need info on the decks curve/gameplan:

Good hand has a monolith/tutor, a outlet/tutor, ramp, and protection

T1: tutor / ramp

T2: either lay down protection like [[grand abolisher]] / ramp / tutor / push comes to shove play a draw spell

T3: Possible win / dig more with draw / set up for win next turn with protection

T4: should win / if bad hand im holding up interaction and drawing the best i can

T5: if not winning by now i probably have around 2 cards in hand and same gameplan as 4 until i can draw the win/ tutor

Hey yall, I would like some opinions on this Elsha Threefold Master list. Its a upgraded list from the precon, and all cards that have been taken out are in the sideboard. I’m open to any suggestions as I’m going to proxy all upgrades.

Firstly, which bracket do you guys think this deck should belong in? If it had no rhystic study and smothering tithe, do we think it could still fit in some b3 games or stay at b2?

Secondly, I am open to cutting any cards that you guys think aren’t a good fit/could be replaced by something better.

Here’s the list, don’t hold back!!

Hey guys,
I've been working on this Ragost deck for a while, and honestly, it's just not doing the thing.

The whole idea is pretty straightforward: I want to turn creatures sideways and crack skulls. Instead, half the time the deck feels awkward, I don't have the right pieces, and I end up watching everyone else do cool stuff while I'm trying to get my engine going.

Here's the list: https://moxfield.com/decks/QFU5XO05jk-LxQDN9Xw5WA

At this point, I'd love some outside opinions. What looks weak? What doesn't belong? What cards would you add if your goal was simply to make the deck hit harder and keep the pressure on?

No need to be gentle. If a card sucks, tell me it sucks.

Thanks!

Have you ever wanted to play a game of magic that didn't feel like any magic game you ever played? Do like confusing players with complicated rulings? Do you want a judge to look at your board state and just walk away in utter internal conflict?

Well this is the deck for you! Welcome help jodah navigate and construct the board to absolutely confuse your opponents constructing a board state so full of confusing enchantments and creatures, using instant and sorceries no one else knew existed to confuse the shit out of your opponents. And when your ready. Hit the nuke button and win with Barren glory!

Trying to see if I can get another look at my Lazav deck as my first post didn’t have much traction. Help me degen this deck further !

https://archidekt.com/decks/6156698/lazav_suprise_surprise

Figured with the Hobbit I'd do my own Thorins company,m (I didn't realize just how many others were too when I made it) I'm trying my best to stay on theme with only members of the company and this is what I came up with https://archidekt.com/decks/25428771/the_company I can't really think of anything off hand that can really make this as degenerate as id like, so I figured I'd go ahead and ask you folks about some opinions.

the goal is to use only 4 proxy cards with 96 real ones the budget is 120$ (usd) anything can be cut i use mana pool and basics dont count towards budget anything can be cut i just want orvar to work the best he can

thanks to those who will help and even if you dont thx for reading

Do you think it is possible to build a Bracket 3 Seluma deck or the high CMC of angels combined with the color limitation of only white spells aside basic land and angels make it limited to bracket 2 or less ?

I've been having an absolute blast playing The Scarlet Witch. My deck is currently b3, mainly because it can be a bit slow to finally pop off which I'd love some advice on speeding things up. But otherwise, her ability goes hard when you add in X spells, wheels and ways to give the spells in your graveyard flashback.

I've brewed my deck around cards like [[Zenith Festival]], [[Improvisation Capstone]]. [[Apex of Power]] and several wheel options to cast as many cheap spells as possible and dig through my deck for my main wincons.

[[Crackle with Power]] is my go to finisher, with [[Tempt with Vengeance]] and [[Song of Totentanz]] as some go-wide backup options. [[Dragon's Desire]] has been an amazing new ritual addition with Hobbit, which can be cast for just two red without even pumping Wanda at all.

Potentially the most important card in the deck is [[Past in Flames]], allowing you to recast anything and everything in your graveyard, making discards trivial (oh how many times I've cast a turn one Gamble and had someone comment they hope I don't discard what I searched for, usually Improv Capstone).

Ultimately, when this deck is at its best you get to play Solitaire, casting and recasting draw spells and rituals in a single turn until you can pump Wanda enough to cast a huge Crackle with Power or Fireball and finish the game having poured through 2/3rds of your library.

What I've learned is most important: Ways to draw, the biggest flaw the deck has is not getting much of your repeatable card draw early and stalling out.

It also could always go faster. I'm sure if I wanted to proxy some moxen or add another rock or two that may help. Right now I'm not using any proxies in my paper version.

Here's my list: https://archidekt.com/decks/24409389/wandas_discount_spells_emporium

Forget the reasons I just need a deck that can kill one player really fast. Say bracket four fast. I don't need to kill everyone just a problem player in a pod. I do t care if I am taken out and lose as long as I take out one player.

I was thinking ms bumbleflower with a ton of pump spells because of the flying being evasion. Plus she grows and gives sme card draw. She also is a commander when you voltron he you may kill one person then the table works to remove her.

Is there something else that is fast and gross to kill a single petson.

As stated. [[Ziatora, the incinerator]]

Looking for your *moxfield* lists. I've built one, love it. Looking for different human perspectives. Thank you

i haven't played since the last phyrexia set dropped and i pulled a foil showcase grand unifier + junji ito elesh norn, and just want the strongest thing to use them in lol

Title, saw the spoiler and wanted to build it almost immediately as this is everything I'd want in a commander and can't WAIT for it to drop in early October. Main goal is to maximize profit from attack triggers for lands, card draw and cheat out myriad with cards like [[Legion Loyalty]].

Trying to degen so any help would be appreciated, especially if there is anything better to substitute for card-wise or interactions I didn't know about.

Open discussion: How do you deal with graveyard hate in dimir colors?

When you find yourself stuffing that graveyard full for the impending doom, what do you do when they start to tell you no?

I’m yet to figure it out but when I do… that graveyard will become an impenetrable bubble of the stinkiest smelliest grossest gas cards you’ve ever seen.

By that point, it will be too late.

When you gaze into the abyss don’t get scared when you see everything looking back at you.

Thinking of building him as a fun fast all or nothing commander deck.

What cards would you include in a Kosei Voltron commander?

I'm in dire of need of making her more consistent, help me degen her please!

Hello, I'm looking for a reanimator commander that is great on Bracket 4. I'm mostly looking for a commander that can consistently reanimate instant spells or utility creatures that make them resilient to removal and end the game with a reanimate combo. The two that came to my mind are [[Kess, Dissident Mage]] and [[Meren of Clan Nel Toth]], but I'm not sure how to build a reanimator deck fitting of B4 for these two.

EDIT: Oh by the way, is there a B4 reanimator commander that wins the game through Finale of Devastation? That seems like a cool way to finish the game. I assume we want to have an infinite mana combo in the deck list and tutor for Finale of Devastation, in which we cast it to search for Craterhoof Behemoth and end the game through combat damage?

I'm looking at building a hard control Bumbleflower deck for B3. I've tried to lean away from any Group Hug pieces and more into getting additional value off of other player's draws while hitting multiple casts per turn. Wincons I'm currently including are Bumbleflower beats, [[Triskadeckaphile]], [[Twenty Toed Toad]] and [[Approach of the Second Sun]], although I'm certainly open to changing this directions.

I need to make five cuts and am just not certain where to make them, but am also interested in any other feedback as well.

Here is where I am at:

https://moxfield.com/decks/CbIewPo5jUyYk7Po5ek_3Q

Hello, just wanted to see how I can make him broken. Any infinite combos? Does he do well in bracket 4 or is he best in bracket 3? Anyone experienced with him who would like to teach me a few sick combos?

I was working on optimizing my manabase for my bracket 4 deck but I wasn't sure if it's worth running the whole fetch cycle for esper if I don't have the OG duals because I was worried about running out of lands.

I currently have:

pain lands
triome
shocks
legendary lands
1 of each basic
surveil lands
mana confluence
starting town
city of brass
battlebond
on color fetches
bloodstained mire and windswept heath

Thanks in advance for your help!

I want to make a creature-sacrifice-focused deck designed to trigger [[Vengeful Bloodwitch]]-style effects, with cards like [[Marauding Blight-Priest]] then firing off those Bloodwitch effects for added pain. Given just how many similar cards there are to those two I can stack multiple triggers per sacrifice for lots of pain and life gain. I'll use token generation, cheap creatures and recursion to drive the sacrifices. I know there are lots of ways to go infinite with those effects; I want to stay bracket 2 despite the temptation for *unlimited power* (insert Palpatine here).

**What I need help with is picking a good commander.** [[Dina, Soul Steeper]] is near-perfect, but green almost feels extraneous in this deck, with the exception of ramp and some 1/1 deathtouch stuff. Do I just use her anyway and have the deck be mostly black? Or is there another viable option?

Thanks!

I've been working on my first built from scratch deck for a while, and am getting ready to playtest, but thought I'd see if anyone had any suggestions or feedback. The group I'll be mostly running this against generally play bracket 3 I think but tend to avoid having more than one game changer in a deck.

I mostly play Orzhov Aristocrats in Pioneer, and I already had some of the cards I needed for it, so I've stuck with that but have gone for more of a graveyard recursion theme than the heavy token generation i normally go for, so my commander is Liesa, Fallen Archangel (Teysa Karlov and Teysa, Orzhov Scion are alternate commanders that i think i can swap in with minimal replacement cards needed for when i want a slight change to how it plays).

Basic game plan is group slug in terms of both causing opponents to sac creatures (Fleshbag Mauruder effects, Braids Arisen Nightmare, and Grave Pact effects) and life drain (Bastion of Remembrance, Sephiroth etc), while keeping my creatures coming back from the graveyard to hand or battlefield depending on method so that I've got more fuel for the slug effects. There's still some token generation but not as much as I'd normally go for in this style of deck if I was building for 60 card formats.

Theres a pretty substantial maybe/considering list on the moxfield for the deck, which is a mix of potential cheaper alternatives for some components, some I'm just not sure if they have a place in the deck, and some cards that i know I'd like but probably can't afford right now (like The Soul Stone).

There's also some cards in the Sideboard section that are my current focus from a "can I fit this idea in" perspective. The current version of the deck has Kaya the Inexorable, Lolth Spider Queen and Liliana Heretical Healer//Liliana Defiant Necromancer), and while I'm not too worried about getting the Lolth emblem, I do want the Kaya and Lili ones, so I was trying to figure out if I can fit some Proliferate options into the deck. Yawgmoth seemed to be the best option and I actually have him already, but only putting a single source of it in feels dicey, so I was looking at what I can cut to replace with other creatures and instants/sorceries that proliferate could without massively shifting the focus of my deck. If I can't fit them in, I may drop the planeswalkers as the odds of getting the emblems drops significantly.

I'm hopefully going to be able to proxy some of the stuff I'm missing and start playtesting in the next few weeks, so keen to hear your thoughts. Like I said its my first scratch built commander deck (and probably my only one for quite a while, mostly I play precons where the whole pod is using the FF or Fallout decks) so I'm sure I've probably missed some obvious considerations.

I was directed here for a high power B4, Jeskai list, looking on some direction commanders wise! If anyone has experience with them, advice welcome
