do any of the old theme decks have anything worthwhile for edh?
Lucas Taylor
What do you mean by theme decks? Precons? Old commander products?
Isaac Butler
uh...like, the old precon 60-card decks? or do you mean things like duel decks?
Xavier Johnson
>stax meme
better break out the Narset :^)
Jackson Wood
like the old ass precons

reposting from other thread:
I'm not a huge fan of upheaval because it has no answers unless you're also playing blue, and adds a huge degree of power to a color that already has too much
I prefer the balance and limited resources over MLD because they at least leave some resources on the board, allowing opponents to have answers/additional plays
if the only answer that you have to a card is "just counter it" then it is too strong IMO. not everyone wants to play U
Julian Cruz
Jesus that guy's gross
Isaac Ross
uuuuuuuuh
just look at the decklists m8 they're all on the archive or sommat
for the most part they're shit though, and the ones that have good stuff are expensive as hell
Chase Ward
I made a Narset player scoop to a Mana Tithe once with my Hokori deck
Felt wonderful
Liam Brown
The majority were awful and have 0 value in them. Any of them that had value you likely won't be able to find for a decent price. Just get singles.
Isaac Ortiz
Time to be gross and build sedris infinite mana.
Matthew Ramirez
How to build hokori i want to play the archenemy no holes barred.
Dylan Ramirez
Going straight into both Liliana and Gisa. Holy fuck I love this card.
Eli Rogers
What does your playgroup look like?
Pic related is the decks we have played with for a while and are the most common. >MB Uses a Brago deck depending on how he feels. >TL Has an Archangel Avacyn. >MD Has whatever silly shit he feels like making five minutes before a game.

>empty the pits for 9. set aside the 9 zombies to be perpetual 3 extra cards a turn man when black gets card draw they can get some card draw. Load that into a deck with life from the loam and zombie infestation and laugh as you drown the world in zombies.
Gabriel Kelly
Empty the pits? That's the best you can do for 22 mana, or were you going to also Bog yourself? How about Underneath the Floorboards? Discard get a token, madness, get more and some life, too. Sadly, they all etb tapped, like most overflowing zombie spells. Hell, I'd rather use Army of the Damned than use Empty the Pits.
Or
I could just use Gisa with Phyrexian Dreadnaught.
Jonathan Turner
Are mono color decks bound to be shit?
Can you actually make a mono colored EDH deck work and be able to win pretty often?
Adrian Torres
>this
Xavier Gonzalez
>plus this
Wew
John Bell
Mono white and red suck. Mono green, black, and blue are fine.
Wyatt Campbell
>tfw wanted to make a Kazuul deck
Well shit
Xavier Nelson
I have a problem. I desperately need ways to flicker or otherwise reuse enter the battle field effects, in green black or colorless. I got conjurerors closet, roaring primadox, and I fear that's it.
Tell me there's hope.
Jaxson Allen
>green >black >colorless What you do is kill your own shit and reanimate it with Maren.
Henry Hill
Sacrifice and reanimate?
Carter Baker
Oh. Well I feel stupid, I forgot that whole schtick.
Ethan Scott
You sacrifice your creatures (ex: Ashnod's Altar), bring them back to your hand (ex: phyrexian reclamation), then cast them again using the massive mana you are generating as GB (ex: cabal coffers).
Owen Wood
Temur Sabretooth Mimic Vat Cloudstone Curio Deadeye Navigator Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle Voyager Staff
Don't worry, I did realize I seemed a bit dickish with how I responded. Here are some real answers.
Chase Adams
Not really flicker but reusable, you will need to use the graveyard to return stuff in GB the only flicker abilities are in WU
Joshua Sanders
Mono-red control is pretty okay if you're willing to put in the utilities you need that red lacks. Y'know card draw, mana rocks, mana doublers, etc. Kazuul can work, user. It just takes a bit of work.
Daniel Gutierrez
Oh thanks man, these are great.
Evan Cox
I have officially gotten my group to all hate my newzuri deck with a passion. I feel like I have succeeded in making a truly perfect commander deck
Alexander Wood
Link bro, mine doesnt do shit, i either get hatefucked off the table soon as they see um playing UG or i get durdled to death
Hopefully it can be of help to you. Quick edit was swapping a sylvan scrying for simic manipulator.
Ayden Ward
I have a list I've been working on for a week or so. It's not finished yet, but most of the pieces are there. You could probably springboard off this and EDHrec if you want. Also, if anyone better at deck design than me has any input, that'd be great. tappedout.net/mtg-decks/kazuul-test/
Andrew Bennett
Flip Chandra or Ashling for mono red burn control?
Jack Jenkins
My list is similar, i have a gocus on counterspells because ezuri dies the turn he his the table if i can counter everything or give him hexproof, perhaps more creatures with tokens is the way to go, thanks for the info ill try ot out
Benjamin Gonzalez
The best commander
Carter Davis
There was an old Kamigawa theme deck that had a Sensei's Top in it, but I don't know which one specifically.
Logan Hughes
ResidentSleeper
David Jenkins
Either one would work desu but Flip Chandra seems more likely to have a target painted on her compared to ashling. If you really wanted to punish opponent's in an amusing way, try Zo-Zu
Daniel White
Originally bought one for use in my mimeoplasm deck and ended up switching it out when I pulled newlamog. But she still has a home in nekusar
Lucas Cox
Has anyone used one of these to store their deck? It looks cheap and super durable.
Juan Brooks
Jaya
Cooper Thompson
Burn control user here
Ashling is strictly better because of how easy it is for her to clear the board, but Chandra can be a lot of fun.
>Flip Chandra more of a target than Ashling
You have no idea what you're talking about. Ashling can swing for commander damage or wipe out the board.
Jaya is also good. More spotty than Ashling, but suffers from being a spellshaper.
Levi Turner
Jaya a fun!
F U N !
David Hall
Just get an Ultra Pro satin tower, user. Slightly cheap but sturdy and really good.
Jordan Hernandez
Jaya is great, nothing beats using her 'ultimate' with a scythe of the wretched equipped and stealing every creature on the board
Ryder Wilson
I love me some good one drops. I really didn't expect to see something this good. Don't underestimate red in this format. White though... White is a little special.
Aaron Robinson
Ashling can do the same thing.
David Morgan
Ashling kills herself when she removes the counters, dumbshit. Unless you figured out the mono red way to make indestructible ashling and count on someone not running proper removal or some form of counterspells, ashling will work, but seriously ashling is shit
Caleb Rogers
There are several ways to keep her alive, but I'm going to assume you're only pretending to be retarded.
Justin Martinez
Of course there are ways to keep her alive but you're the dumbshit for wanting to run a burn deck of all things in commander. If you manage to pull off a win I will be impressed but most metas will run you into the fucking ground
Jordan Bennett
Secret tek for teneb?
Deck is just Reanimator+Goodstuff
Cameron Ross
Mono white can play an interesting game with linvala or Tails, and in a 3 man pod pull off an aggro/voltron plan if (really) lucky
Red has the bonus of more virtual card draw/mana and haste effect which are powerful in edh, and hence more options if they don't go down the wrong oath
Isaac Turner
I've won many games with Ashling. It's amazing what a 2 mana commander can do.
Brayden Campbell
What do you think is the best commander for for D A N K S T A X ? like the bird wizard or...
Ayden Flores
>I won many games
I have nothing to go on but your word and you act like a faggot so I'm going to disregard it
Josiah Perez
Probably bird slut or GaAIV
Jason Reed
How does ashling actually win? Is there a combo or is it simply draw lands and kill her every turn for commander damage?
Sebastian Cook
Whatever you say champ. I'm not going to convince you. You're the one sperging.
Adam Roberts
I usually use Grafted Exoskeleton and Glacial Chasm.
Blake Johnson
Wow yeah i can see how that can make a quick game
Hunter Wilson
Those are some shitty wincons bro
Kayden Ortiz
I agree, hitting every player for 10 infect damage on t8 is pretty shit bro
Kayden King
>inb4 this guy always has a t1 counter or stiffle or whatever blue disruption he starts every game with in his hand 100% of the time
Austin Myers
Haven't tried the 110 version but I'd recommend the 150 count version especially if you plan on double sleeving. It can hold 100 sleeved cards no problem and 100 double sleeved cards snugly if you flatten all the air out of them (though to be fair different brands of sleeves have different thicknesses so beware). The nice thing about it other than the price is that it's compact and stackable.
The satin tower is also pretty good. It's definitely sturdier and more spacious. It has enough room for a double sleeved deck and token cards in addition to a bottom compartment for die and whatnot. Of course that means it takes up more space than the plastic box, not to mention that it's much easier to identify your decks with the plastic box since you can just put your commander in front.
I'd recommend the clear plastic box first if you're budget conscious and then to try the satin tower if you decide it's not enough.
Logan Price
I would not recommend the satin towers. There's a surprising lack of actual space, considering how tall they are, and the lid can be a bitch to get off. I've had mine for 2 years, and it still takes a decent bit of struggle to get the top off without using enough force to sling the cards across the room.
Chase Rogers
I love my satin towers, I actually have 6 of them, and I feel as if they're the sturdiest boxes you can buy for the price. They easily fit 100 double sleeved cards, and the dice compartment is nice at the bottom. It's like storing my deck in a brick. As long as you wiggle the lid back and forth while pulling open, it will click open easily. Can be a bit tricky, but that's the price you pay for the protection it gives.
Anthony Butler
Post 'em
Colton Baker
Keranos wincon is casting him and following with an Obliterate.
Oliver Bailey
Purphoros can be really good if your playgroup generally has games go on too long, it puts a clock on the game and doesn't draw much h8
We play with some other regulars from our LGS, but it's pretty rare, as we like to settle at one's home with drinks and play all night. 4th player absence is pretty sad, but we know enough players to be 4-6 each time.
Josiah Cruz
>doesn't draw much h8 >Purphoros the OTK machine for everyone on the table
Literally wot.
Blake White
Suggestions for artifact/enchantment destruction in Prossh? I have decimate and hull breach so far, and I'm undecided on what else. (I do have a creeping corrosion and wave of vitriol coming in the mail)
Ryder Foster
Cut the lelrandum shit. You'll never get to seven mana anyways. Then cut the more expensive goblins. Now add haste enablers (anger, swiftfoot, greaves, think you missed a goblin or two) and ways to untap krenko (thousand year elixir, puppet strings). Zada doesn't do much here, same with staff of the flame magus, leyline of punishment, the dragons, sin prodder. Consider Eldrazi Monument, insane advantage and you'll never run low on willing sacrifices.
Levi Jones
ok ty
Grayson Myers
I need this
Tyler Wilson
I've never had that problem with mine. And as says, the dice compartment is pretty nice and it is easy to open yet it never dislodges by itself as well.
Bentley Allen
>You'll never get to seven mana anyways But why
Logan Price
>Rafiq of the Many >Harem Voltron My sides
Isaiah Hernandez
Because you'll have a swarm of fucking goblins? But you're right, expect people to do their best to mess with your plans, in which playing overcosted chaos effects is still not recommended. Instead I would take ways to protect Krenko, ensure his ability activates often, and artifact ramp.
Wyatt Williams
Who's the best commander for a creatureless deck?
Dominic Price
Mizzix, probably.
Brandon Ramirez
Keranos if you want the commander to be resilient on his own
Easton Wilson
Child of Alara Anything white for ALL THE WRATHS
Noah Ross
Mizzix/Melek for spellslinger. If you don't care about turning other stuff into critters, Sydri and I used to have a 5color enchantress with progenitus at the helm. Mainly to use all good overcosted enchantments with Starfield of Nyx.
Henry Brown
Wanted to make a fight club deck full of werewolves and fight effects, is it possible?
William Sanders
I want to put this in something, but I don't know what
Andrew James
Runic Thar and 99 permanents. Unless you add that one sorcery, off course.
Joseph Richardson
BG spider legend that can win at instant speed with infinite mana.
Christian Robinson
Personally I can't stand that card (it was houserule-banned in our group for a long while) because it slows games to a screeching halt.
Juan Smith
Teferi
Josiah Phillips
Which one?
Justin Butler
OG Teferi. Since he shuts down casting spells outside of "during your main phase with an empty stack" for your opponents, it's a soft lock with Omen Machine since they'll never draw another card but they can't cast whatever card Omen Machine finds (but you can)
Levi Parker
Really? One of them untaps things and the other prevents people from casting spells.
Charles Evans
What are the essential stax cards/colours/commamders? Is blue a good stax colour?
