I am a new player roughly 1 year into the game, and I bought the Y'shtola precon and really liked it. Since then, I have upgraded it in a few generic ways, but I recently found a way to build it, and I like the concept, but I don't really know where to start and how to play it.

Basically the Idea is entirely based off of [[bolas's citadel]] and gimicks that surround it. I pay life to play a card, and then I gain life with Y'shtola and lifelink cards. Because I lost life I draw a card at endstep I have limited knowledge of cards in this game, so Idk what would be best. I am looking for bracket 3 gameplay as well. All is appreciated!

Upgraded List so far: https://archidekt.com/decks/25944839/falco_upgrade

Trying to upgrade my old bracket 3 Falco Spara deck, just looking for some more suggestions to push it into more bracket 4 type of play. I am adding the Heliod and Walking balista combo, and the simic ascendancy, if yall have anything good to cut or add, or even some more combos I could run to add a separate win con it would be greatly appreciated. Also may or may not add the Thassa's oracle for a finisher to go with the Sensi's Diving Top and devoted druid combo.

I know she’s KOS, and I can appreciate that. I am hoping build this someone decent. I’m not sure if I have too many artifacts, not enough protection for Kaalia, or a game plan when she’s not on the battlefield. I do know I enjoy tribal decks here early on.

If my decks not good, I just ask for some advice on how I can improve it/or a thought process I need to investigate. I’m new to Magic, tried building a deck before it didn’t turn out well. I used EDHRec and looked at a few decks on moxfield. The artifacts are really to try and ramp but I don’t think I’m accomplishing that well. Thanks in advice yall

Hello! Im kinda new to mtg, I'm mostly a ygo player and have played a bit of mtg arena, but I would like to build and buy a commander deck to play with friends and other people i meet.

I know little about mtg and probably have a lot of bad deckbuilding habits because of my ygo experience. But I do know enough to know more or less what I want to play.

My idea was to make an abzan, tribal/semi-tribal treefolk deck with Doran, Besieged by Time as a commander. Ive made something on moxfield, putting together 100 cards that felt like belonged in that kind of deck.

But because of my lack of mtg knowledge, I feel like that thing i made have little coherence and must probably play like shit. Hence why im posting here today, to ask you to help me building something coherent. Not broken, not very good, but at least something playable to play with friends. Im aiming something like a bracket 3 maybe if I understand well that concept ?

Thank you ! Here's the link to the deck I made https://moxfield.com/decks/qORlUgmQH0aIrzeynt3gYA

I built this deck about 4 months ago, and it ran horribly. I originally built it for Bracket 4, but I couldn’t win, and some of the cards just weren’t working well together. The synergy of the deck wasn’t very good either. So, I spent all day upgrading and fixing it up. I’m here because I wanted to get your guys’ opinion on it before I buy some of the cards.

Never made a deck before and just need advice on if this would work or not

Trying to keep it as low cost as possible

Hello! I just started magic like a week ago, but I'm wanting to update ba commander precon

Counter Blitz - Tidus, Yuna's Guardian as the commander

Just looking for any recommendations really. I have what I think is a good start? I'm sure it could be a lot better, but it's just a starting point.

I'm looking to keep it in bracket 3.

If it's bad, just say it.

This is my work in progress, Lord of the eagles, I had a bunch of blue cards from my previous mono blue deck, I wanted to do something different, an agroo mono blue deck with extra combats, however we don't have the extra combats steps in that color, that's why I added the good old extra turns.

Right now I need some feedback on the cards to cut or add, I'm open to any recommendations.

I know is a bracket 4, however this deck is intended to be play between friends.

check out doc for more info and join discord!

I’ve been having fun these past few weeks building and playing this Balan deck, but I’m at the point where I don’t know what to cut anymore. Some times I struggle with playing all my cards then just top decking. I’m considering taking out a land or two currently. I tried to stay away from cards that are super expensive. Thanks for any help.

I've built this to be super simple for a completely new player to pick up, play and have a real chance to win the game with. Any suggestions for changes would be appreciated 😁

I recently got some upgrades to my eldrazi deck and adjusted it slightly, anywhere I should change? Any tips or opinions on the deck?

Hi everyone, I’m relatively new to commander and I need help with a Mirko, obsessed theorist build I’ve been working on. Right now, something feels missing. Could someone with more experience critique my build or make suggestions? Thanks!

Playgroup info: bracket 3 or low bracket 4. Lots of interaction 🥲

I just recently built this \[\[Zask, Skittering Swarmlord\]\] deck and ive never played a deck with this heavy graveyard focus. I want to see if anyone had any thoughts on cards I should cut or add.

I feel like I may have too many creatures or maybe not enough graveyard retrieval for non creature things. I also had considered maybe a more sacrifice focused built but I think I ended up with a pretty unfocused deck, if anyone has any constructive criticism, thanks!

I got my girlfriend interested in magic with the Bloomburrow starter decks! She liked playing the otter and bunny decks, but she heard me talk about sone spooky plabes and now she wants a beginner spooky deck. I've gone ahead and built the spooky deck, but I'd like some people to double check it, and to help me make a deck to go up against it.

The spooky deck is linked in the post. It's an artifact sacrificing pinger / midrangeish kinda deck.The goal with this was to make a simpler deck that shows off some more mechanics besides just keywords, to give her plenty of things to do even without cards in hand, and to just have some cool spooky cards (she likes more serial killer stuff).

As for my deck, I'm not sure what to make against this. She's new to card games, so I kinda want a deck that's got a handicap to it. My only real goal was to make a deck that she'd be jealous of. I want her to like her deck, but maybe like mine even more! She likes to fidget with things and likes rolling dice randomly while we play, so I thought of making a deck that rolls dice. Besides that, I kinda just have a lile of cards. I'm thinking of rolling dice early on and build up to dragons or something else later on in the game. Similar to her deck, I want to show off some more MtG mechanics, so I'd like some sagas or adventures or something in there, and to be at a similar power to her deck, maybe even a bit weaker.

Any help on either deck would be appreciated!

Hi everyone!

I've been collecting quite a few cards from the Avatar: The Last Airbender set and had the idea of turning them into several 60-card decks that my friends and I can just pick up and play against each other.

The idea is basically to create a small Avatar-only environment rather than trying to make the decks competitive against normal constructed decks.

My main rules are:

Only cards that have an Avatar: The Last Airbender printing (including the main set, Jumpstart/Eternal cards and Avatar versions of reprints).

60-card decks with the normal maximum of 4 copies.

I'd like the decks to be roughly comparable in power so that picking a particular deck doesn't decide the game before it starts.

Flavor is important, but I'd rather have mechanically coherent decks than force every thematic card into its faction.

Ideally no very expensive cards. I'm currently aiming for roughly under €10 per individual card, although I don't mind having expensive cards as optional upgrades.

I've already been experimenting with quite a few archetypes, for example:

- Earthbending

- Firebending Aggro

- Fliers + Airbend

- Waterbending

- Katara instant-speed Tempo

- Iroh Lessons

- Sokka Allies

- U/B second-card-draw + Waterbend

- W/B sacrifice/attrition

- Four-color Avatar Aang

I've even been running the decks against each other using Forge AI simulations. That has been useful for finding some obvious balance problems.

I'd be really interested to hear what other people would build from this card pool and if anyone has already built something similar, I'd love to see your lists!

I'm also happy to post the decklists I've built so far if anyone is interested in helping optimize or balance them against each other.

Hi everyone,

I've been playing around with [[Norman Osborn]] for quite some time now, and I've been set on making it one of my highest power decks.

I decided to go with a more spellslinger build because I thought it would be more fun to chain, but I'm finding it hard to get the ball rolling on him quickly. The biggest issue I've found is the game is kind of a slow start, and by the time I can do something boards have already been built.

Would anyone have any recommendations on deck tech/things that could be hindering the deck? Admittedly, I'm not that great at deckbuilding, so feel free to be critical! :)

Still need to slot in Seedborn muse somewhere but haven’t gotten there yet. Idk if it’s bracket 3+ material yet

Tokens Are My Best Friends • (Selesnya Commander deck) • Archidekt

I wanted to make a commander deck that includes, and creates a bunch of different tokens!
I know it might not be the best, but how much would you love/hate to play against this?

Doesn't matter but if you know a way to create even more tokens, please share with me! I want an absolute army of tokens in the future

Hey folks, so I'm somewhat new-ish to MTG. I used to play growing up as a kid and as a teen, but then kinda fell off over the years until recently when I made some friends who play Commander, so I dusted off my old standard Black and Red vampire deck, bought and traded for some new ones, and tried to cobble together a Commander deck keeping the same sorta theme.

Here's a link to the deck: https://archidekt.com/decks/25955389/updated_brampire

There's still a few cards out there on my wishlist that I haven't been able to find in local shops near me (yet), but I'm open to suggestions on what to add/remove.
