Am very new to building decks, been playing for awhile but never built one on my own. For starter how do you start off with cards. Also is there any current “necessary” cards for a current deck?
Edit: Is there good counterspells for White/Black and would it be needed in this kind of deck?
Hi guys, relatively new player starting to mess with a basic deck a friend helped me build months ago. It had a weird gate package in the mana base which didn’t really work so I’ve been trying to fix that but I’m not sure if this is a solid and well proportioned mana base or not. Any feedback would be appreciated.
I just thought to build a deck with a bunch of combos that end in a draw. Does anyone have good ideas for this? im thinking just to add card draw ramp and tutors then a bunch of card combos that end the game in a draw. Or something more interesting than that if you have ideas. im thinking a 5 color commander for this even better if the commander itself can combo to end in a draw
I really want to make this deck work, but over the last 8 commander games i finished last every time. I really tried til tune the deck to be faster, stronger and have more survivability, but nothing helps. My play group says they think it's just bad luck, since they all play bracket 2-3 decks that should'nt be out of reach for my deck. But maybe the really just like winning. Could someone see if something is off with deck and if there is something i might have missed?
I have been playing commander for nearly a year, and i greatly enjoy it. Yesterday a thought for a bracket 1 deck hit me and i would love to build it.
I want to build a bracket 1 deck where I can steal an opponent's creature, Dress it in [[Groom's Finery]] and/or [[Bride's Gown]] , Gift them a [[Wedding Ring]], Send them a [[Wedding Invitation]]
You hopefully get the theme. I essentially want to be able to steal a creature and preferably be able to return it after in the wedding dress. Then i want to give my new husband/wife gifts.
I need help finding cards that can help me do this mechanically, and also cards that would make for a fun wedding, like [[Ballroom]] for the venue. I would need an officiant and flower-girls and guests and all the dumb stuff i can fit into the deck. The "Wincon" would be "The person i Married wins the game" but i am also more than happy just marrying someone.
Another possibility is marrying the commanders of 2 of my opponents to each other, but i do not want to steal someone's commander in a Bracket 1 game for more than like 2 rounds, so that would need a way to return them.
Any and all help is appreciated!
Hey all, looking for suggestions on my Temmet deck. I initially started building him since I have a bunch of zombie cards that looked fun to use. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Looking to build as a low bracket 3 or 2.
These are some of the cards I like for their flavor
[[Army of the Damned]], [[From under the floorboards]], [[Death baron]], [[Undead Warchief]], [[Graveborn Muse]], [[Josu Vess, Lich King]], [[Shepherd of Rot]]
Hey all, I've been really interested in making a Boromir deck for a while because I have a really interesting deck concept that I think could make a fun Bracket 2-3 deck. I want to mass cheapen all players spells so that I can trigger Boromir's ability. I'd defenitely need some hexproof ect, but I think it could work. I'm definitely gonna be on a budget here, but as he's a relatively nieche commander, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of what cards would work well with him.
I’ve been in between building Tergrid for a long time and I’m finally caving and building it but don’t really know the best ways to build it budget friendly. I have a list that’s pretty cheap but need some help/suggestions for building it budget. I’m trying to stay around 80-$150. Thanks!!
List I built so far
It’s my first time really trying to upgrade a deck with just my knowledge and not just edhrecs haha. I’d like to see what everyone has to say. I think a few things could be different but I’d like to here it from you guys
Are there any more cards like Helm of awakening that arnt Helm of awakening
So I have this Aloy deck, it has been working pretty well for me, but it could use some help. What I know the deck needs are some more support artifacts, but the only ones I can seem to find are the expensive ones like [[Simulacrum Synthesizer]] and [[Sensei's Divining Top]]. I do plan on adding more cards for protection and interaction, but all I have at the moment are in the deck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So... A few weeks ago I finally pulled an Ulalek. I've been collecting and on some occasions playing Eldrazi since BFZ/OGW, I don't have a full collection, but as a collector my main thing is trying to figure out how to use cards I have. This did NOT go well in Legacy, so commander it is.
I've thrown together a deck, I'm not sure it's any good, I have no idea what bracket it's in, if it's even really playable and I could use some deck building tips.

I've got a "considering" list on there already, but I didn't go through all my cards, obviously.
If anyone could take a look at this and let me know where I'm (probably) going wrong, it'd be much appreciated. If you have specific card suggestions like "drop X for Y" that would be great, but again, I don't go out of my way to get singles. I have larger collections of M15, BFZ/OGW, SOI (yep, I missed Eldritch Moon), DMU, NEO, LCI and more recently have been cracking MH3, DSK and OTJ, but I'll be cracking some more EOE, SOS and ECL over DSK and OTJ moving forward.
I'm planning on building a somewhat budget ($50-100) commander deck with Minthara, Merciless Soul.
From what I see, any decent Proliferate card is an auto-add, since they would boost the experience counters far past Minthara's one per round trigger. Similarly, cards that help create token creatures are needed to take full advantage of the boost Minthara provides.
However, I'm having troubles deciding whether to use blink or sacrifice as the other main theme.
Blink Pros
Blink Cons
Sac Pros
Sac Cons
Those are the main considerations I came up with. I'm definitely leaning towards blink, since it seems more reliable to trigger Minthara. But it just seems like blink doesn't do much else, due to lack of payoffs. Maybe I'm wrong about that though.
On a side note, I was looking at the keywords: amass, mobilize, and myriad as a possible replacement/synergy to the sacrifice strategy, since mobilize and myriad both sacrifice the created tokens, therefore triggering Minthara. Theoretically, I'd like to include them since it seems cool, but not sure it'll actually be helpful. Myriad flops in 1v1, Mobilize creatures need to attack (and hopefully not be killed)(and someone online said that it wouldn't work since the LTB needs to happen before the end step?), and Amass seems synergistic with blink since there's a couple that trigger when ETB, but it supports go-tall more than go-wide. I'd love any input on this.
I'm somewhat new to magic and deck building, so any suggestions / hints would help!
Thank you!
The Idea is definitely more on the silly side. I want a Deck with as many Siege Wespons as possible. Capapults, Rams, Trebushees, ect. Most of them ar black or Red i think. Haven't made a full list. What command would fit the flavour?
I made a kitchen table deck a while ago and I found that it has literally been one of my most successful decks. I really wanna make it more powerful though. Any opinions on what to add or replace?
How's it going guys. I just modified my quandrix unlimited precon deck from some stuff I saw online!
I am trying to include a few different win cons like twenty toed toad, Simic Ascendancy and a few others. I think I've got a good amount of card draw and counter cards. I have kind of moved away the fractual tokens but figured I would post here. Casual player here just trying to get some feedback on what I could change and if you guys have any land suggestions that don't break the bank it is mostly the precon lands
Hi, these last weeks I have been trying to make a Blech loafer pest deck.
I have been trying to create a casual B2 or B3 Blech deck that focuses primarily on triggering his ability as much as I can every turn, mixing it with cards that double +1/+1 counters. My problem is that when I playtest with him, it doesn 't feel consistent enough in both aspects or I just get behind very easily.
I'm trying to make it more balanced, not only having very good or bad early turns but also being able to maintain the rhythm in longer games.
I would love any advice from you guys who know a lot more than I do, as I'm a newbie, and also card recommendations or changes...
Restrictions :
- Under $ 100
- No more than 1-2 game changers; I don't really like them
- Preferably some help to make it B3
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
I started playing MTG about 2 months ago when I learned it would be a good way to spend some time with my son.
Since then I've played mostly with precons or decks he has built, but I finally made my first deck and would love some advice on how I can improve it. Please be gentle, I am still learning.
It's a commander deck, like I said, and my commander is Urza, chief artificer. I scanned my cards into manabox. I have all the cards, no proxies.
Ok, so I'm being told that my post may qualify as "low effort content", but considering the name of the sub, I'm hoping it's not considered this! If it is, can someone please tell me where I should post it for advice?
Thanks in advance!!
