So, as the title states I want to build my first ever 1000pt army and I would like to go with Necron's.
Unfortunately, no one local plays combat patrol matches so I need to get to 1000pts.

I got myself an Imotekh the Stormlord because I like the character and the model and I can get myself to 1000pts with him and two combat patrol boxes if I wanted to do it as cheap as possible (with new models) of course some second hand deals could come along.

So, While I am not interested in the meta I haven't even looked up the meta because it changes so often I am interested in how I could build 1000pts a little better than just two combat patrols and Imotekh mainly bang for buck and easy to pilot.

So, what do you guys recommend for units to fill out a list if I would get one combat patrol and use Imotekh.

There are 465pts to play with.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions guys.

Deck to be discussed: Miirym

So, as the title states I have been working pretty hard on my first custom commander deck, it's been a long process that I have loved but with the massive range of cards available in this game it's simply a case of I don't know what I don't know, there may be entire mechanics I could make use of I don't know about.

Also just so everyone is aware I only started playing magic when my partner got me into it on the release of Foundations and this deck started in that first month and has gradually evolved into what you see, so you might understand my lack of knowledge to really push my deck to it's next level.

Problems. (in order of pain)
1: Reliability of play, what I mean by this is I get mana screwed often enough its a constant battle to get the mana base right I recently gutted 8 dual tap lands for basics to try and increase pace and try to get it off the ground faster but I think I have gone to low on the lands.
I am considering removing a bunch of the artifact mana rocks for basic lands.

2: Protection. Obviously the center of the deck is Miirym and she only needs to be taken out once to suddenly be quite hard to cast, I have some ideas for protection like I put [[Resurrection Orb]] in the deck and of course I have two counter spells but that's not many so I would like more ways to keep her alive and as I step into the more competitive brackets that will be needed so much more than it is now.

3: Tutors. I would love some suggestions on more ways to tutor for dragons, lands, enchantments or my artifacts as I have little of that and would like to introduce more.

I have a few cards sitting in my own wishlist/maybe lists.
First is [[Deceptive Frostkite]] this is of course an easy way to copy Miirym and [[Seedborn Muse]] as a way of untapping lands for other things.
[[Propoganda]] to protect against token decks a deck type I can struggle to fight.
[[Coat of Arms]] to boost the dragons but I am not sure they need boosting so that's why I haven't gotten this one.
[[Abundance]] is a card I recently added to my Wishlist's as it seems like a good way to get out of shit if you really need more lands.
[[Loki, Lord of Misrule]] This is a card that's yet to be available and even to me I am unsure if I want it but its a good way of duplicating Miirym and then playing a large dragon and getting a lot of copies.
[[Darksteel Plate]] as another way to protect Miirym.

In closing I am looking for idea's to get this deck to be solidly bracket three scratching the door on four and honestly I am jut not sure where to go and what to change to get there so let me know your suggestions and any advice for how to build decks for bracket 3/4.

Wanted to do this for a while, you can get the instructions from Rebrickable if you want just look up “Galactica” they are easy to find.
