Marduchesa, Zurgo and Kalemne routinely win games in my group.
Gabriel Foster
Xenagos is pretty damn aggro and pretty damn viable. Ramp up to Tooth and Nail, fetch Stonehoof Chieftain and Malignus, have fun smashing face.
Evan Morales
Since the last thread died as soon as I posted I'll ask here In the 15 or so years I have played magic I've never built a blue deck that wasn't a myr deck so I want to experience the fun of blue. Who's a good commander with blue for someone not use to that color. I'm leaning towards Prime Speaker Zegana.
Gabriel Morris
Should I switch my Volrath to Chainer? Suicide Voltron is pretty fucking fun, but mass reanimator and playing with everyone else's shit also sounds fun.
Fuck.
Ryder Nelson
how does marduchesa typically win. I can't get a win with her to save my life
Angel Torres
Maelstrom Wanderer. Hop on board the value train with no brakes!
Evan Miller
Chainer is always the answer. Chainer is fucking ridiculous and arguably the best mono-black Commander, bar none.
Kayden Watson
marchesa doesn't do any of the heavy lifting beyond providing reliable card draw via Monarchy. The deck usually wins with dragons (game of thrones danny was his inspiration)
Jacob Reed
Posting this again because I knew the thread was gonna move but I posted it anyways
>I have a shitty Baral deck. I am going to turn it into a better but still shitty Kefnet deck. Look at this link and tell me how shitty my deck is, also give me your thoughts other than how shitty it is.
Questions that have already been asked:
>why kefnet?
Infinite mana sink, one of only three in mono-u and arguably the best
Leo Cooper
>Come home from work expecting cards to be in mail >fucking nothing even though I ordered two fucking weeks ago Anyways what legendary has great or thick thighs?
John Wright
Yeah he seems pretty bonkers. How many sac outlets would you need to run?
Angel Lee
BSZ and frantic search might be good
Alexander Price
Not exactly sure, but I'd guess somewhere like five?
Evan Gutierrez
Akroma, Angel of Fury
Easton James
Guys, I'm thinking of making a Kemba deck and I'm too poor to afford swords. Any ideas about what to run? I already have argentum armor and two of the three kaldra set.
James Williams
>Motherfuckin' GODO
Nothing says manly melee men like slapping the hell out of people with tons of equipment, extra combat steps and mono red extra turns under a beautiful blood moon.
Ryder Walker
Literally any equipment
Juan Scott
My Godo deck is my pride and joy. You've got good taste, friend.
Luke Jones
Azami wizard tribal with combo cards like Mind Over Matter. Super fun control, tons of draw, Mind Over Matter is a perfect marriage of theme and mechanical power, really makes you feel like a god. You could also switch her out with Tefari and still do wizard tribal and it would be loads of fun. A hole nother deck that's fun is a Baral deck. Drawing loads of cards, ruining everybody's plans, super sneaky bullshit shenanigans, very blue.
Samuel Ross

Christian Flores
>Is aggro viable in your meta? My whole meta is aggro. >If so, who do you run? I'm heavier on the combo side, so I like Alesha and Zada.
Daniel Hall
Elaborate on how this works, please, this is too janky and I like it but I want to explain to my friends on why that will happen
Julian Johnson
I've been extensively researching (shitposting) in these threads, gathering data to determine who my next commander will be. Is Hidetsugu the ultimate "man with a gun" commander? Ie not preventing others from playing the game, but punishing them if they don't cooperate
Nathan Gomez
Kess, Jaya Ballard
Jeremiah Moore
>Razer enters >exile trigger goes on stack >sac/bounce/get off of battlefield in response to exile trigger >"leaves battlefield" trigger resolves first >ETB trigger then goes off, exiling all lands forever
It works like Fiend Hunter.
Anthony Sullivan
I want a commander that functions almost entirely at instant speed, can Tasigur do this?
Logan Thomas
Thanks friend, I will try to fit this card to my Ramos deck as well
Dylan Ramirez
Teferi mage of Zhalfir?
Chase Cox
I picked up Ib today planning to throw him into my Grenzo deck, but he looks more interesting as a commander. How do I build him?
Lucas Peterson
Surrak Dragonclaw works pretty good
Nathaniel Rogers
>that curve topper
Ayden Morgan
Did I fuck up building Nazahn or should I have gone Sigarda, Host of Herons?
Camden Reed
Vial Smasher/Thrasios enables you to have fun with a die and play Magic at the same time.
Mason Barnes
Sigarda.
Nicholas Martinez
>Considering Sigarda Be a fucking man, user. You're playing a bara furfag for a reason.
Nathaniel Stewart
>anything sissy about angels
Carter Bennett
I run him as a lot of goblin generation alongside shit like spellshock, manabarbs and the like to make everything painful
repercussion is a must, Voracious dragon for style points
Ryan Thompson
>keep planning out decks >can't decide what to build next
FUCK
Jeremiah Martinez
She doesn't on her own. However, tutoring up a comeuppance with sunforger is a fun win
Caleb Reyes
Literally me every day, why cant I just stick with one deck idea.
Landon Lee
>keep planning out decks >haven't actually sat down to play with any local edh groups since getting back into magic last month
Christopher Perez
Holy fuck, iktf. I've got a Doran deck, a Trostani deck, and a Niv-Mizzit deck all lying around half finished.
Oliver Cook
I want to build something slightly janky. Can't decide between:
- pic related: steal / control with a little pillow fort
- Radha, Heir of Keld: aggro + instants (more aggro and burn)
-Kolaghan, the Storms Fury: Dragons 'n Goblins
Wich one should it be ? Tech to make it work also wellcome
Camden Perry
remember you got rubinia soulsinger for bant colors.
Jacob Garcia
But Merieke is Esper. And you can do way more stuff with her then with Rubinia >When Merieke leaves play OR BECOMES UNTAPPED, destroy that creature
Blake Baker
you said you wanted jank. Coffin Queen is nice too. get double value from that same target. Also cloudshift to keep that creature permanently
Me everyday. Esp. with partners >Ramos Gold-Stuff Cascade >GW Mirri Tokens >Bruse Tarl/Ikra Beats >Reyhan/Silas Salty Robots >Ishai/Kraum Jeskai Spellslinger >Vial Smasher/Tymna Sunforger Punisher >Karador Goodstuff >Scarab God Steal/Mill >Toshiro MBC >Emrakul v.2.
Zachary Jackson
How do i build derevi that isnt lockdown?
Dylan King
You don't because anyone with a brain will target you for playing Derevi and if you don't have the oppressive deck to back it up you'll just get annihilated
Lucas Richardson
Well rip, i like twiddling and free commander tax
Xavier Wright
kinda like edric with evasive little dudes, and some good tap abilties to go nuts with like birthing pod, arcanis, or rhys the redeemed
Luis Green
some of us have friends who we play with regularly and dont have to deal with this problem
Colton Williams
Birbs and lots of them
Owen Adams
Only a little bit janky. Yea Coffin Queen would be nice in combi with Merieke. Would blinking the stolen creature with Cloudshift realy prevent it from dying if Merieke becomes untapped / leaves field ?
Neat
Jason Wilson
any other cool rite of replication targets like Vela I can include in sultai colors? Looking for ETB/LTB damage
Hunter Allen
gray merch and kokusho are damage but idk about "cool"
anything with an etb like e witness or shriekmaw seems like a "cool" rite of rep target to me
Colton Kelly
Doomwake Giant gives a recurring asymmetrical -30/-30 wipe
Benjamin Richardson
This has been an all-star in every reanimator deck I've made. Even just getting a ramp spell or a Brainstorm from each person is a huge amount of value. Using Rite on it could get absurd
Levi Richardson
Fog bank
Camden Parker
>Blade of Selves
Thomas Watson
Should I make Neheb burn or Sultai eldrazi-ramp first? I've already got Samut, Scarab God, Melek, Mazirek and Edgar Markov
Ayden Turner
thoughts on this? It's intended for MTGO 1v1
Joseph Young
>Attack with Godo >Blade of Selves triggers >Each Godo immediately dies, but searches out a different equipment >Get Hammer of Nazahn from the first trigger >Attach each other equipment to Godo as it comes in >Get another combat >Do it again
That could kill a whole table.
Isaac Ortiz
Am I missing out if I don't have blade of selves in my equip deck?
Adrian Harris
Sultai eldrazi ramp sounds pretty boring, and it's sounds like you already have a lot of creature decks. I suspect you'd lose interest.
Jason Nguyen
Really only want the deck because I took out the eldrazi from Xenagos when I made it into Samut and also have Vorinclex, Villanous Wealth and other BG/UG stuff lying around.
Luke Walker
So, you bastards made me wanna build Hapatra The problem is, I already have Skullbriar and won't take him apart Why do you do this, Veeky Forums?
Isaiah Jackson
We hate money and cardboard is our crack.
Elijah Nguyen
I've already got 3 decks, and 2 in varying stages of progress, not counting Hapatra
Levi Morgan
kid, you ain't seen nothing yet.. watch this *whips out 10 decks ranging from modified precons to OC donutsteal jank to tuned competitive* and that's only the beginning *view pans to two desks littered with piles of half-sorted cards and dozens of decks in the process of being built or picked apart* welcome to hell *we see a final shot of opened letters and packages and receipts showing absurd payments as we fade to black*
Jayden Smith
>Asterisk actions Is this 2007?
Kayden Hill
It's a neoclassicism.
Hudson Perez

Isaac Watson
So, a few months back, I asked you guys if you thought URBW Zombie Tribal using Ravos, Soultender and Kraum, Ludevic's Opus would be good. Well, I built it on a budget and it's actually pretty fucking funny. I don't have 2 of the Zombie Lords, but so far, the deck is 3-8, which, considering it's jank, I think is quite the achievement. So far, 3 vs 3 seems to be the best match up. First match was against Atraxa Infect and Zur Bullshit and managed to come away with the victory. Earlier it was against Edgar Vamp-Spam and Omnath land-spam and won that one too.
It's pretty fun, if anyone has tried something similar, how did it go?
Carter Young
Ive had fun with her as a commander. In a controllish shell she can dominate the battlefield when everyone's resources have dwindled. There is a u/b artifact that taps to untap target permanent (doubles as mana rock). Plus the blue unearth dude that untaps. Intruder alarm sounds like fun too. Never tried but...
Ayden Moore
I run whatever equipment I had laying around when I made it and honestly the deck still scores wins.
Bentley Wood
Overly Prolific Mumma-cat is fun. I personally have a Kemba budget deck and a few cards I recommend:
>Darksteel Plate (About £10ish) >Godsend (About £8ish) >Basalisk Collar (Recently reprinted, so not expensive.) >Ring of Thune (About £1.50ish) >Kaldra (The most expensive of them is about £2.50) >Bladed Pinions (Less than £1) >Captains Claws (less than £1) >Sword of the Animist (About £5 I think?) >Strata Scythe (Dunno, but it's not expensive and you can run almost all basics in this format, making her ridiculous) >Scythe of the Wretched (dunno, but it either steals creatures or puts through extra commander damage) >Slagwurm Armour (Less than £0.50 last time I checked.) >Shield of the Avatar (about £2ish) >Leonin Abunas (Less than £1.) >Annointed Procession (About £4ish. Double kitty-output) >Sigarda's Aid (Must have) >Sram, Senior Edeficer (Must have, less than £2) >Odric, Lunarch Martial (MUST HAVE. £3ish.) >Mentor of the Meek (£1.50 I think)
Those are just a few off the top of my head, but they are all less than £10. If you want to spend more than £10, you may also want to consider a Darksteel forge to further protect your equipment
David Rogers
Jeez, brit mtg must be expensive Thune is 0.3$, Animist is 2.15$, Shield of the avatar is 0.3$, Odric is 0.8$ and Mentor is 0.9$
John James
Some of those prices are too high. Even for UK sites.
Try and use CardMarket instead, you might have to wait a while for cards to arrive from countries like Italy and your prices are set in Euros but you can easily save a quarter off the bill from UK currencies, especially if the order has a lot of commons and cheap rares which would otherwise be a flat rate of 50p in the UK, but a few cents on CardMarket.
Jason Anderson
I want more colored artifacts.
Robert Rivera
Those looks expensive even for BR standards. I can buy those listed by at basically the same price, but in R$ instead of dollarydoos, which is around 1/3 of the value.
Lucas Parker
>tfw want to put Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Iona in my Sisay but don't want to bust open my FTV: Angels either.
Cards are meant to be played I suppose
Ayden Hill
Eternal witness is one of my favorite targets. It can get you four cards and Rite of Replication back from your graveyard so you can just keep recasting it.
Jose Foster
It will lose in 1 on 1. How has 40 lands been working for you?
Nathaniel Parker
Wrong. Rite is still on the stack when you choose targets for the witnesses.
Nicholas Hernandez
What's the point of holding onto it? Do you really plan on selling it some day?
Grayson Martinez
Crack dat shit.
Jackson Gray
That's not true, user. Abilities aren't put on the stack until the spell or ability being resolved is finished and leaves the stack, so Rite will be put into your graveyard before you choose targets.
Charles Hughes
Its the same condition for Collected Company being able to be returned by hitting an Eternal Witness. Otherwise that deck would be nowhere near as strong in modern.
John Stewart
Open it, you'll have to spend some time flattening them anyway.
Tyler Stewart
>not buying one to crack and one to keep in a temperature controlled area lad how new r u
John Mitchell
There are people just collecting cards. I know people with binders full of planeswalkers and expensive cards at home. Once I sold this guy 50€ in cards and he told me he just wants to have those cards and he will never play them.
Landon Myers
Is there any archetype more boring than stax?
Sebastian Long
For the pilot? Most archetypes For the table? the longer end of combos.
Jordan Phillips
40 lands is pretty good. It also has 4 ramp spells (Nature's Lore x2, Restore and Chalice) But I acknowledge the curve is a bit high
Justin Scott
>spent hundreds of dollars just so I could have a foil and normal version of every card with Briclot art That wurmcoil invention gave me an erection and filled me with dread simultaneously.
Liam Murphy
>guy in my group claims he only trades for cards and never buys >has a binder full of cards on the reserved list, like not the "crummy cheap ones the highly expensive nobody trades these cards" ones >only been playing since scars of mirrodin Uh huh sure buddy
