Hey Guys!

I need your help. Im trying to build Blech, Loafing Pest only with cards i already have.
I found enough decent stuff. Now comes the hard Part: Cutting it down.
Can you help me identify cards (or even themes: like do i have to much ramp for example) which can go out?

Thanks!

I want to make a unique loot deck that doesn’t fully rely on EDHrec. Also trying not to drop like $500 on a deck but would consider it. I understand how the game works just not the greatest at building decks. Any suggestions for cards or strategies would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to build this creature focused tool box-y kind of list in sultai colors that centers around ultimately trying to get either [[Colossal Grave-Reaver]] or [[Summon: Bahamut]] on the board, or just filling the grave and then going for a [[Living Death]] for the win. I like the idea of having the grave be a second hand while also having cards like [[Birthing Pod]], [[Sidisi, Regent of the Mire]], or even [[Cauldron of Essence]] act as sort of the hidden commander(s) that are enabling the deck. I'm not necessarily trying to win with a combo, more so just overwhelming the board state or having Bahamut survive long enough for his thermonuclear blast to laser beam the other players. That being said, I want this deck to be able to survive in a strong bracket 3 pod.

There have been a couple of problems I'm running into though. Firstly, I think birthing pod might be a little redundant. Or rather, it is sort of rendered useless if I start milling like crazy. Though there are some times where I don't get many cards that mill in the early game which is where birthing pod sort of comes in clutch. I like that both Sidisi and birthing pod are asking you to build the same in terms of curving out on creatures, but I wonder if its better to go for more cards like Sidisi, the cauldron, and [[Hell's Caretaker]] and forget the pod all together.

Another issue I have is finding early game plays. A lot of the times, my opening hands are less than ideal for turns 1-3. This is in part due to the fact that I don't have very many one drop creatures, but I just couldn't find many that were super worth it. [[Stitcher's Supplier]] and [[Hedron Crab]] were obvious choices, but it kind of falls of from there. That also leans into another problem, where I have so few blue pips and blue lands in my deck because of how golgari based it is, but at the same time early game cards like the crab, [[Gran-Gran]], [[Careful Study]], and others are blue spells.

Finally, I'm also looking for feedback on the commander and color identity as a whole. I like the idea of sultai because it gives me that boggy, marshy, creature from the black lagoon kind of vibe, but I also feel like I'm just looking for justifications to splash blue. I'm not super comitted to [[The Master, Transcendent]] either, he just seemed like the best fit for the 99 since he is repeatable recursion as long as I'm milling

Overall, I think the deck needs smoothing out in terms of getting it online faster and the mana base. I play with my friends mostly over spell table, so out of budget cards are an option to consider ! Budget friendly options are great too, especially for the mana base if I wanted wanted to try and make this in paper.

Thanks in advance for the feedback !

My first bracket 4 deck- any tips? Cuts or adds you’d suggest? Deck list : https://moxfield.com/decks/jfhEOd6nGEWcaVIqj02I7g

I'm pretty sure my deck is bracket 3 AT MOST I could see it being is bracket 4 but I feel like that's only if I get super lucky. I was hoping to get more opinions from people who will have more experience than me https://moxfield.com/decks/9y9U5Oa80UejpGa20agn9A (If this isn't allowed in the subreddit I'm sorry)

Im pretty happy with this deck but im newer to magic and im looking for some recommendations or advice, I am generally looking for better lands that don't enter tapped

Deck has been updated

Hello,

I'm thinking about adding some cards to my bello decklist, using the tags on moxfield you can see which cards i'm hesitant to add.

I want to know which would be good to add and which would be good to cut.

I'm on a low budget so i'm not going to spend more that 5 to 8€ on a card.

here's the decklist : https://moxfield.com/decks/lKLXgVzQYEOdGYh1pRyofQ

I would also be very curious about which bracket you think the deck already is !

PS : english is not my language so excuse me for any typos

hey everyone!

Have you ever made the mistake of playing an incredibly powerful card with an amazing ETB, flickering it to get some bonus value and then realising that it requires you to cast the card to get the effect. Whomp-whomp.

Well, thanks to the Avatar set, we can fix that issue! And today I've got a deck that lets us play weather-wizard with a three-headed dinosaur for incredible value.

[[Zacama, Primal Calamity]]] is a classic Naya commander and is already known for the [[Temur Sabertooth]] combo; letting you untap your lands on cast, then return it to your hand with the Sabertooth and then cast it again netting you infinite mana.

And while that's fiiiiine, did you know you can also do it with airbending? The rules for airbending read that you exile a card, and then it's owner can cast it from exile for {2}. This means we can get our cast triggers all over again without needing to pay the nine (or more!) mana for Zacama.

There are plenty of airbending options to choose from. [[Airbender's Ascension]], [[Appa, Steadfast Guardian]] and [[Aang, Airbending Master]] to name a few. These'll also all give you bonuses too when you cast stuff from exile such as a 1/1 army or a bunch of experience counters!

The best airbending card though? [[Monk Gyatso]]. I think we all already knew this. He's basically mono-white Nadu, but if you cast Zacama, untap your lands, and then target Zacama with it's own ability to deal 3 damage while Gyatso is on the board, he'll get airbended and you can cast him again to do the loop all over again. Once you've done this enough times, you'll have infinite mana to pour into his other abilities to wipe the board of creatures, enchantments and artifacts and gain unlimited life!

But Zacama isn't the only card with a cool cast trigger. [[Kozilek, Butcher of Truth]] gets your four cards, [[Vibrance]] bolts anything, [[Herigast, Erupting Nullkite]] let's you churn through your library and [[The One Ring]] gives you protection from everything!

Once you've got the engine running, airbending means you can basically cheat your way through the game at your opponent's expense and it's a fun twist on a well-known combo.

Let me know your thoughts! Would love to know what you have to say, and if you'd like, feel free to check out the decklist and showcase video.

Hi!
I want to build a Commander deck with Adrix and Nev, the Twin Conjurers, but it always seems a bit clunky .

If you've already built a deck with this commander, I'd love to see your list and some recommendations.

Hello, I have been building my Bumi deck for a while now, and I'm nearly done. I did a lot of research and looked at a bunch of different builds and this what I put together. https://moxfield.com/decks/dNFXEObbFkSsKtDmzzVR6w

Really like earthbending and building around +1/+1. I get overwhelmed looking at decklists for inspiration.
I’d like to keep it bracket 3 and I’m going to proxy anything costing over $10. If there are any glaring issues with it I don’t mind hearing about it.
