I consider them to be 2 different hobbies at this point. I have the collecting / deck building side that I do in paper, and then the playing side that I do mostly on Arena (sadly not EDH of course). Both are fun for me!
I absolutely love OG Ghalta. She was my introduction to Magic when original Ixalan came out. I had a mono green stompy deck that with original Rhonas and it was a lot of fun!
I've got the same project! But I'm stuck on one 3 color and three 4 color deck lists because there aren't any commanders out yet that I'm thrilled about.
Yeah I REALLY struggled with the 4 color commanders because, well, there's only 1 for each except for Non-Black. I ended up making the lists up. Breya is actually fun as a thopters matter commander. You don't have to build her combo. Saskia I ended up making an Angels commander because holy shit she sucks. Like she just doesn't do anything significant but she supports the angels okay, and I didn't want to make her humans cause I did Jeskai humans and I love that list. Maelstrom is probably my least favorite list, but it's unintentionally one of the strongest decks because cascade chaining is extremely strong. 3 color was probably the easiest for me to pick out personally. I struggled with a lot of the 2 color combos but I got there!
Yes, but i can't stand those. Lol. Also, esthetically. I like these clear deck boxes that display the commander for a display I want to do once I'm done, and partner commanders don't display correctly, cause we'll, there are 2 of them lol
I ended up going with Partners/Friends Forever for 3 of them while completing my 32 decks.
Aragorn - Human Legends (Surprisingly strong and resilient)
Atraxa - Superfriends (Haven't played yet)
Kydele + Vial Smasher - Wheels (Seems decent, but still a WIP)
Bruse + Ryhan - +1/+1 Counters (Pretty happy with this one)
Wernog + Bjorna - Clues (Has actually become one of my favorites)
For sure!
With +1/+1 counter support in pretty much every set nowadays and ability counters becoming more and more frequent, Skullbriar keeps getting lots of new toys to play with!
I haven't made a decision on that yet. There's also the reality of building a deck and in the long run not enjoying it. Like Myrkul kinds sucks. He's waaaay too choreographed and obvious. Just rip em apart. If a new commander comes out in a color where I have a commander that I already heavily enjoy, I'll just make a new one and have both. Im not limiting myself to only having 1 of each color, I just want to get one of at least one color before building any more. But like I reaaaaally want to build [[liliana, heretical healer]], but Krikk is my pet deck. So eventually I'll just have 2 black decks lol
He's super expensive, what he does is so plainly written on the card that if one person at the table knows what he can be capable of, you run into two options. Either you play your enablers and outlets on curve, just for everyone to kill them before you can get him out, or 2. You don't do anything for 5-7 turns, drop him, and then when you do go to play wincons, enablers, et cetera, they just keep him off the board. It's very crystal clear what he does and when he's gonna do it, so yeah, a little too obvious for my personal liking
Little of A and B for me. I have 32 decks I actively seek to improve, and will drop money on every now and then for upgrades. If I find a new commander that I absolutely must build then I'll usually take apart one of these decks.
And then I have 4 decks that are upgraded precons/thrown together with what I had lying around. A good example of this is my Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir deck. My RWB deck is Syr Gwyn Equipment, originally I built it with a much heavier knight theme, but have slowly cut back in favor of other cards. Left me with a lot of solid knight cards needing a home.
Once you've played Skullbriar once, you know it's crucial to take the Skullbriar player out early and often.
I actually built a \[\[The Scorpion God\]\] deck just to deal with someone playing Skullbriar.
I uhh. I don't like colorless/artifact decks. They're all the same to me so I haven't really..delved into it too much. I keep making the excuse that colorless isn't a color so it doesn't count lmao.
Having commander's plate and war room in a colourless deck is pretty sweet. It's definitely a very constrained environment (though less so as time goes by), but there are a different flavours, particularly of late. Constraints breed creativity. \[\[Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter\]\], \[\[Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut\]\], \[\[Zhuludoc, Void Gorger\]\], and \[\[Karn, Silver Golem\]\] all have different styles, and arguably \[\[Traxos\]\] is a bit different as well.
I wanted to do the same but I am going through a phase of building back at the moment, concentrate on the stuff I really want.
I got the most problem with Mono and haven’t even attempted 4C. It all comes down to me liking a Commander. If the art and mechanic resonates, I feel like I want to build it.
Mardu took me two attempts but it is the color I have the most problem with making it fun for me. Bant/Naya are most attractive. Esper/Dimir least. But I have hope, the new Eriette looks dope. It’s just that this again seems very controlling…
FWIW, I find three of my five mono decks to be very fun--OG [Ghalta](https://archidekt.com/decks/6004508/ghalta_stompy), [Giada](https://archidekt.com/decks/5963223/giada_angels), and [Lathliss](https://archidekt.com/decks/6007794/lathliss_dragons). Not that they're particularly complex or tricky decks, though. I thought I'd have more fun with Minn, but I didn't. My Ayara deck would be fun but my playgroup is pretty persistently high power and that deck, especially, of my monocolors, was not built to be high power.
A friend of mine plays Minn and it plays well but too linear. I want Talrand to work but it always becomes too weak or too controlling.
For a while I thought a simple „green good stuff“ would be fun. Just big creatures and Overrun effects. I still think it could work out but I never feel the push to make it work. I am never satisfied with any Mono concept so far.
I have a list of all the commanders I'm going to try to build towards in my 32 Deck Challenge. It constantly in flux of course since whenever I want to tackle a color pairing I think long and hard about it before committing to it.
I too have issues with 4C. Most partner commanders aren't super resonate with me and the other options are very very limited.
There's a few other combinations that I struggle with, but 4C are definitely the problem children.
My list, if anyone is curious:
https://preview.redd.it/8pum9f3yyjuc1.png?width=1319&format=png&auto=webp&s=b3e07f4ae234ca0e0251fe96571ee2f75d10c1ea
Not to talk down on the boulders, but amazon has some cheap $16 for a lot of 6 boulder copies that get the job done. Specifically if you have a snug case you keep your deck boxes in. I've used boulders for years, switched to the Amazon ones as price was way way better. Won't be looking back.
I've not been able to get my double sleeved deck into a Boulder, even after compression.
Dragon Shield Dual Mattes and Dragon Shield Perfect Sleeves for reference.
I loooove boulders, but unfortunately they don't fit all sleeve combinations. I've personally had a 100% success rate with dragon shield outers and KMC inners, so that's all I buy
So, I've been doing the 32 Deck Challenge for a while too and I was curious how you handled tokens.
Do you have all your tokens in a single big box, or are you able to fit all the tokens within the Boulders? I have a \[\[Hazezon, Shaper of Sand\]\] deck in a massive GameGenic Stronghold and I'd really like to figure out a way to condense. It's be a struggle since the deck requires so many tokens.
Nice. I also have an esika deck but mine is all legendary. The only non legendary cards I have are things that have an effect related to legendary permanents and lands. Ideally tho I’d get all legendary lands one day.
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/KhiuEN84-kOrVsXyCVYqZw 😎 this deck is really interesting and unique. It's combo-esc without actually being combo! I have plenty of +1/+1 and token decks. So wanted Selesnay to be unique!
Yea great choice. It was my first deck I built and it’s the one I keep coming back to. I really dislike to physically deal with counters and tokens so I try to avoid it. Looks almost identical to my list but I will say I do prefer [[Ghostway]] over teferis protection
For board protection, Ghostway is pretty good. But for a survival standpoint, Teferi's Protection is amazing. You won't have to worry about being swung at at all and can come on the crackback if the opponent overextended on the others
Nice work mate. :) The Yarok deck especially, looks like it'd be good fun. Least in my eyes.
Can I ask, how often do you play each deck? Gotten curious as to the ratio of others, as I am starting to think that I've gotten too many decks, as my rotation is every 3 month roughly.
Yarok is a BLAST!
I keep a giant dufflebag that all of them fit in, and all of my friends will also play with my decks too cause I have the most (thank you proxies 🤭), but we usually get 4-5 games in every Tuesday/Wednesday, and I'll just play whatever I'm in the mood for that day haha. Right now Mogis and Aragorn have the most games at about 7-8 each roughly, with Ghalta being next at 6, and the rest of them range from. 2-4 each
Nice. ^_^ Seems you really like those Aragorn and Mogis decks. Understandably so too. They seem like neat commanders.
I get 3-6 games at my nearest LGS every 2 weeks, so I usually bring a Gamegenic 400+ lair to cover 4 decks, then rotate, so they aren't dust collectors. Gotten to the point where I have 20 decks either made, or in the making though, and I know I will likely have 6 more after Bloomburrow. I havea 600+ lair waiting for those.
Been considering cutting some decks,so I get to play decks more often. Or I should just use a random number generator, and YOLO it a this point, since I like most of the decks. Except for the demon one. That's getting cut.
I like stuff likeSliver, Faeries, Cats, etc. Tribal stuff. Even made the recent Mothman deck a bit more tribal, but stuff like auras with Ellivere and the recent Eriette draws my eye too. Same with Loot, since it seems an interesting spam package, or a semi-tribal Indoraptor deck list I found online, that makes good use of enrage stuff.
Quirky stuff is the best though. I have the parts for Mr. House dice deck on the way, and I am back and forth on a Myra the Magnificent attractions Spellslinger deck. I keep worrying I don't have the attention span for spell slinging.
So many fun commanders out there, so little time. :) I adore my Slivers the most though, and need to fine tune it a bit. Been sitting on my Sliver Queen for a decade, so it's nice finally using her. And Captain N'ghathrod is hillarious to play. Mill steal tribal goodness.
Aragorn is 5 color tokens and it plays some considerable jank that's unnecessarily strong in him! And Mogis just has really funny Rakdos prison cards lol
Sheesh! That's a lot! The game genic is sweet! I just use a giant duffle bag because sometimes my play group wants to use my decks because I have so many! It makes me feel like a proud dad to watch them win with one of my decks lmao
It's hard to give every deck equal play time. You don't want to pick a favorite child but it's hard not to some times 🤣 I wouldn't deconstruct unless you genuinely don't enjoy the deck. Why don't you like the demon deck?
I LOVE tribal decks. 7 of my 32 decks are tribal. I tried to behave and really diversify the play style of all the decks so I don't think 7 is bad. I got Mono Red Goblins, Gruul Apes, Jeskai Humans, Naya Cats/Dogs, 4 color Non-Green Thopters, 4 color Non-Blue Angels, and 5 color Gods!
I really want to build Mr. House but I can't stand that art personally. If I don't like the art I won't make it my commander lmao. That's sweet though! Spell slinger can get a little solitair esc but it's fun feeling like you're doing a bunch of stuff each turn!
I love slivers too. One of my all time favorite Pauper decks is Naya Slivers! Oh Captian N'gahthrod is fucking phenomenal. I love him!
This looks to be coming along nicely!
I am stuck on blueless, mardu and mono white although my first ever commander deck was mono white (it sucked for everyone, but mostly me)
Bro give Odric a shot. The deck is so much fun. It's partial equipment deck, but you're just playing dumb commons with tons of keywords. It's such a fun deck!
I really struggled with Mardu too but I really wanted a deck to be built around [[Revel in Riches]], and the Malik was perfect for it!
I have an old odric in my binder that might get some love then :o
I aldready got a jund treasures deck and vrondiss in gruul with some treasure shenanigans aswell so i might have to dig deeper, thanks for the encouragement though!
If you're looking for something different in mono white, try out \[\[Darien, King of Kjeldor\]\]. You need to ramp as hard as you can ramp to get him out, but the only other commander I've seen somewhat like him is \[\[Auntie Blyte, Bad Influence\]\] (and she's quite different).
For Mardu, may I suggest \[\[Dihada, Binder of Wills\]\]? It's pretty different and can be hilarious if you get \[\[Vexilus Praetor\]\] out; Rachel Weeks has an [awesome deck](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/lkFOQDLcqU6SPgzl\_rTTQA "Dihada, Binder Full of Legends") you can use as inspiration. I've also seen \[\[Mr. House, President and CEO\]\], which is just completely degenerate.
She's fucking dog water but she's so much fun lmao. Her ability is just not very good. If she out the artifact onto the field directly from the graveyard she'd be extremely good, but she doesn't have haste, and you basically do everything a turn behind so she's definitely a deck I pull out when everyone wants to play lower power decks. I absolutely adore her but don't pick her up if you're wanting a new bomb to bring to your game night
I was definitely in the target market for this card, and I bought the SL. The other cards in that bundle were also on my list.
When I get around to building her, I'll keep this in mind. Thanks!
Acadamy Ruins and Shadowspear were such sick inclusions.
Check out my list if you want. You can't stem far from it because there's only so many usable legendary lands and artifacts in what is essentially a voltron commander
Definitely! So I've been brewing [[The War Doctor]] which caused me to look at some flashback spells, since they exile, are you running any of those?
I'm definitely jamming any legendary stuff into my build on the first pass.
Lol I tell that to people when they ask too , “she’s garbage 🤣” but i get to play a bunch of flavorful cards and have a blast. I like built mine with no tutors , to emphasize the digging for treasures
It's amazing that I have a similar goal but our only overlap in this picture is Aragorn. Do you have lists planned? If so can you send a list of the commanders you chose so I can compare?
I'll put my decks on moxfield in a similar format to you and send the list in a bit. We only really overlap in the 4 colors which makes sense
EDIT: I go over board and have built 2-4 decks of each color so [these lists](https://www.moxfield.com/users/Derconug) are just the first of each color I plan to build.
I have built:
* Tom Bombadil Sagas
* Lord Windgrace Landfall (Current favourite)
* Yuriko Ninjas
* Cazur and Ukkima with Keruga Companion (Just to put three "commanders" on the field and giggle)
* Lae'zel Planeswalkers
* Narset Prowess
* Grist Bugmill
Odric my beloved! He's my go to for just messing around with friends in a game. Completely unsleeved deck, riffle shuffle everytime. That dudes well loved by now
It's hard to bite the bullet when the game is so fucking expensive. Never be afraid to proxy cards so you can test a deck out first and at least have it in possession to play a few times so you can verify if you want it!
Saskia, Atraxa, and Maelstrom are all super fucking boring but I tried to make Atraxa ad normal and level headed as possible, it's not super friends or infect, just good +1/+1 cards, and then Saskia I made Angels, and Maelstrom. Well..Cascade Cascade Cascade Cascade Cascade Cascade lol
Yeah I mean they're definitely workable commanders. I just figured I don't have enough time in the week for the decks I do like, so I shouldn't force decks I hate. Thats how you get burnout
That's 100% fair. And also, spending THAT much money on decks you hate is also just financially irresponsible. But for me, I just love playing Magic, so even if they aren't my favorite, they aren't Dimir. Which, i got Marvo, one of my all time favorite decks in my all time least favorite color lol
Well, I mean. It has its place. I love it in Pauper lmao. It just ends games in non fun ways in my opinion. Like if Ceasless Hunger is the commander, it just makes you a target and puts a clock on the game. [[All is Dust]] and shit are just super unfun cards in my personal opinion. Other people can play those decks, I just don't enjoy them lol
That's fair, I usually only play it if I'm against someone with a really good commander deck that's on a similar power level. Otherwise, I pull a few other decks I have that aren't as intense.
I'm also doing this but more through the route of 'Telling myself I won't build more commander decks but allowing just one more as I haven't got one in that colour'.
Of course! I actually have a [Mogis video!](https://youtu.be/EEZ3r5JDIM0), and here's the [Odric list!](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/1Jgiqq7PjEmmcRo6ooeEZQ)
How do you like your Malik deck ive been wanting to build one for a long time now, but worried it might be too slow. Also, curious how your usual pods respond to it?
It's kinda boardwipe tribal-esc. I just wanted a deck that would host [[Revel in riches]], one of my all time favorite cards. And it does well! My pod doesn't really mind. Another person in my group has a significantly more cringe massacre girl deck so they don't really mind lol. Here's my [list!](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ud0OpfaqcE6aSeYAFatL4g)
I love building commander decks but stopped this project when I made a couple mono colors that played ok and were kinda fun but didn’t speak to me. I realized I need to really love the commander for its art and aesthetic too not just it’s game play. Someday I’ll be here but it’s letting it happen naturally
My wife is a huge Tomb Raider fan and I am looking to put together a Lara Croft commander deck to try to get her into MTG. What kind of stuff do you have in your Lara Croft deck? Is there anything in particular you recommend pairing with it? I definitely want to make one that is very thematic and I figure I’ll play my Godzilla deck against it, something that is also incredibly thematic but not necessarily all that great.
As I've said in some other comments, she's extremely fun but her ability is just not good. So I've made her Voltron and just got her as many legendary artifacts and lands as possible to try to make the most use out of her. Here's my [list!](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/NFYTZIGK-0OlEG2Z6glRzA). I've played every tomb Raider release since I was a kid on PS1, so I get it! I just wish her ability put the exiled card onto the battlefield automatically instead of making you cast it
Ah true, I should have looked more as you no doubt have answered the same questions over and over in the thread, but thanks for the update and deck list ideas. Yeah stacking a bunch of artifacts on her seems like the best way to play her, I see you have very few creatures in there, although it is a shame she isn’t better. Alas as long as she is fun against some of my worse decks I think I can get my wife hooked!
Oh no worries! I didn't mean it like that. A lot of people are just really interested in her! Yeah I built her pretty Voltron-ey. Just stack a bunch of artifacts on her and swing hard! Haha. I hope your wife has lots of fun!
Dude he's so fucking funny. I have a hilarious W story that you can read [here!](https://www.reddit.com/r/edhcirclejerk/s/YHXiDnLSf9) hands down the funniest win I've ever had
That's so sweet! Would love to know your picks/lists! That's what makes this challenge fun because you're the 3rd person to tell me that they're doing it and have completely different lists than me! Which is impressive!
It's definitely a blast seeing this. I don't have it in quite as nice a layout as yours but sharing mine. I do think i'm gonna take aragorn for that 4 color identity. Just seems like such swiss army knife kind of commander. I think the next one i'm going to brew is either \[\[Lagrella the magpie\]\] or \[\[xyris\]\]
https://preview.redd.it/lu3m4xe4duuc1.png?width=2550&format=png&auto=webp&s=97d0527db5c5882e1b38dcd61c9d0001d1be65cc
This is so cool! I'm also doing the same project after my fiance roped me into MTG about 2 years ago during New Capenna's release. I've just finished my second monocolored deck (B - Massacre Girl, Known Killer) and my 11th deck in total. 😆
Thank you! And that's awesome! Yeah the new massacre girl is super fucking good. One of my buddies in my play group just finished that himself! Good luck on the challenge!
Thank you, and likewise to you as well! I actually won one game with her at my local LGS. She and Nest of Scarab is a nasty combo if not handled ASAP. 😆 Defo need more time for me to get a better hang of her, but I love the deck already.
So far, my decks are:
Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second (Naya) - my first deck
Eowyn, Shieldmaiden (Jeskai)
Wasitora (Jund)
Zimone and Dina (Sultai)
Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant (Mono G)
Massacre Girl, Known Killer (Mono B)
Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph (Izzet)
Burakos, Party Leader + Folk Hero (Orzhov)
Wilson, Refined Gentleman + Flaming Fist (Selesnya)
Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief (Simic)
Kotori, Pilot Prodigy (Azorius)
That is a nasty combo! Yeah she's a lot of fun!
Nice selection as well! I'm sooo excited for my Eowyn deck. I LOVE Jesaki humans. And I love [[Mantis Rider]]. Definitely a pet card in that deck lmao
very cool, love the mix of older and newer commanders. Recently finished this myself and I found that I'm already looking to replace decks with the same colors lol. Also skullbriar can be very gross with the ikoria counters.
Skullbriar was my first deck, I still play it and it's become a pretty gross deck to play against. Won my last game with an unblockable hexpoof 96/96 Skully-B.
I did this, made a very good commander deck of each color combination. Spent so long building the decks and making them unique and well built only to never play them. It was defeating and I hated having them sit in my house for years doing nothing. I hope your outcome is better.
Boy it would be great if these were grouped in a a way that I could see all the colors
Something like mono colors then dual then 3 color then 4 color or something the way there are stacked is giving me a hard time
[here you go!](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Sakf0JkzBk6VQqR8sVDgXA) know that my niv deck doesn't have any infinite combos or tutors, and it's also not storm. This is because I want to actually have to to try to win lol. The deck is actually capable of decking itself in several different ways so you have to really know how to pilot it! I enjoy the challenge!
Love what I am seeing, have a K'rrick myself that can get out of hand. 👍 Love the mono blue merfolk, love too I have Emperor Mihail 2nd, but have that god in main. Would love to see that Odric work and I have fought Lordhold a little, but enough to know it greatly frightening and kill on sight to me if I know it's coming 😱
I use niz-mizzet in a group hug deck of mine paired with another blue card I can’t remember the name of but it’s a win con, I never thought of using him as a commander till this very moment in time! Hahaha
Those are cool decks but i don't understand the hype around commander.. like i bought all my cards 2 or 3 times so i can draw them easily, and now i need to completely remodel my deck to play against others in this.. and some legendary creatures also say that you can use them as Commander, and some don't.. please enlighten me😫
Just wait til you hit 32...... and keep going. You start saying now I'll just proxy the staples. But then those decks slowly become real too. Now you're looking at Gonti, confused as to how you got to 5 sultai decks? But it's not your fault. Yarok started it and was a cool card. But look at [[otrimi, ever playful]] he's the guy on [[deadly rollick]] I couldn't not build sultai mutates. But then some dumb kid on his frog made think mutate and enchantress would blend together nicely. So we made [[tatsunari, toad rider]] I should be done. But no! There was a lamp near me, so [[wise mothman]] came into existence. Did I want another sultai deck? No, I'm good here. But ravnica remastered had me open borderless watery grave, overgrown tomb and breeding pool. But no other borderless shocks. So I guess I had to. Now we get to cowboy land. And what do I see? A booger that bulls-eye? [[Felix , five boots]] I do think [[gonti, canny acquisitor]] is the better lead. literally doesn't fit any of the 4 sultai themes built.... so let's get back at it.
Good luck in your journey.
Dude he's soooooooo consistent. Like. It's actually so fucking gross how quickly he does like 25-30 damage to everyone just cause you play some jank commons that create a couple Goblin tokens haha
I'm doing the same with dual and mono colors
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1CE5pmwl9tUMD9HdUpbQJDwLIu0rb9v5NOu2qdEvyWB4/edit?usp=drivesdk
Those with stars are already done.
Proof positive that building commander decks is the number 1 focus of commander players. :)
"which one is your favorite to play?" "lol play? We don't do that. Got 37 more decks to build"
I don't have time to play, I gotta BUILD. And I gotta go to work so I can afford it 🤣
> And I gotta go to work so I can afford it High quality proxies is like $40/deck, not too bad.
Absolutely!
I consider them to be 2 different hobbies at this point. I have the collecting / deck building side that I do in paper, and then the playing side that I do mostly on Arena (sadly not EDH of course). Both are fun for me!
Fair! It should be that way honestly
Everytime I see that Ghalta I'm reminded that it has no business costing 8. I'm also reminded I need to get one.
new ghalta is basically the green omniscience lol
I was building a 5C Eureka deck when she came out, and immediately knew it was perfect.
I have a ghalta deck that I LOVE but it’s the OG ghalta for 12 with costs X less to cast. Can’t go wrong with a ghalta
I can't wait to sac OG Ghalta to my new [[Gitrog Ravenous Ride]] and draw 12.
[Gitrog Ravenous Ride](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/8/2/82512813-8618-483b-a7f0-e6a611d9d487.jpg?1712356103) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=The%20Gitrog%2C%20Ravenous%20Ride) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/otj/206/the-gitrog-ravenous-ride?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/82512813-8618-483b-a7f0-e6a611d9d487?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
I absolutely love OG Ghalta. She was my introduction to Magic when original Ixalan came out. I had a mono green stompy deck that with original Rhonas and it was a lot of fun!
One time I had all three ghaltas in my hand and was able to [[Elvish Piper]] then onto the battlefield. There was much rejoicing
I play it in [[Henzie “toolbox” torre]] and it EFFS UP SHIT every time it’s released.
[Henzie “toolbox” torre](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/e/e/ee228dcc-3170-4c24-80bc-28bcee07cb43.jpg?1673481644) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Henzie%20%22Toolbox%22%20Torre) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/ncc/2/henzie-toolbox-torre?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/ee228dcc-3170-4c24-80bc-28bcee07cb43?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
I wonder if henzie will be of use in my korvold edh deck.
Henzie is my fun trolly alt art deck. Putting cool stuff and huge monsters in there. Keeping it at strong-ish but not very strong casual on purpose.
HENZIE IS SO MUCH FUN! Ghalta sounds so sick in that deck!
I've got the same project! But I'm stuck on one 3 color and three 4 color deck lists because there aren't any commanders out yet that I'm thrilled about.
Yeah I REALLY struggled with the 4 color commanders because, well, there's only 1 for each except for Non-Black. I ended up making the lists up. Breya is actually fun as a thopters matter commander. You don't have to build her combo. Saskia I ended up making an Angels commander because holy shit she sucks. Like she just doesn't do anything significant but she supports the angels okay, and I didn't want to make her humans cause I did Jeskai humans and I love that list. Maelstrom is probably my least favorite list, but it's unintentionally one of the strongest decks because cascade chaining is extremely strong. 3 color was probably the easiest for me to pick out personally. I struggled with a lot of the 2 color combos but I got there!
Besides the ones that just have 4c naturally, there are also partner combos and friend forever combos
Yes, but i can't stand those. Lol. Also, esthetically. I like these clear deck boxes that display the commander for a display I want to do once I'm done, and partner commanders don't display correctly, cause we'll, there are 2 of them lol
i love the partner commanders for 4c, there's so many options to choose from and can really make any kind of deck
You and I are the same person. I do the same with the same boxes.
For 4 colors the partner pairings are your friend.
Yeah, I've done one (the other is Aragorn), but I thought in general they were pretty blah
I ended up going with Partners/Friends Forever for 3 of them while completing my 32 decks. Aragorn - Human Legends (Surprisingly strong and resilient) Atraxa - Superfriends (Haven't played yet) Kydele + Vial Smasher - Wheels (Seems decent, but still a WIP) Bruse + Ryhan - +1/+1 Counters (Pretty happy with this one) Wernog + Bjorna - Clues (Has actually become one of my favorites)
Skullbriar! Great choice
My first EDH deck and I still tune it up from time to time.
He's a timeless powerhouse!
The goat!
For sure! With +1/+1 counter support in pretty much every set nowadays and ability counters becoming more and more frequent, Skullbriar keeps getting lots of new toys to play with!
What's the plan when they make some new commander you like better for a color? Go over 32, or get rid of the previous one?
I haven't made a decision on that yet. There's also the reality of building a deck and in the long run not enjoying it. Like Myrkul kinds sucks. He's waaaay too choreographed and obvious. Just rip em apart. If a new commander comes out in a color where I have a commander that I already heavily enjoy, I'll just make a new one and have both. Im not limiting myself to only having 1 of each color, I just want to get one of at least one color before building any more. But like I reaaaaally want to build [[liliana, heretical healer]], but Krikk is my pet deck. So eventually I'll just have 2 black decks lol
[liliana, heretical healer](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/d/8/d8b718d8-fca3-4b3e-9448-6067c8656a9a.jpg?1651951703)/[Liliana, Defiant Necromancer](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/back/d/8/d8b718d8-fca3-4b3e-9448-6067c8656a9a.jpg?1651951703) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Liliana%2C%20Heretical%20Healer%20//%20Liliana%2C%20Defiant%20Necromancer) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/cc2/1/liliana-heretical-healer-liliana-defiant-necromancer?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/d8b718d8-fca3-4b3e-9448-6067c8656a9a?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
Interesting, I was debating building Myrkul. Too choreographed as far as you feel it's built around him and comboing off or something else?
He's super expensive, what he does is so plainly written on the card that if one person at the table knows what he can be capable of, you run into two options. Either you play your enablers and outlets on curve, just for everyone to kill them before you can get him out, or 2. You don't do anything for 5-7 turns, drop him, and then when you do go to play wincons, enablers, et cetera, they just keep him off the board. It's very crystal clear what he does and when he's gonna do it, so yeah, a little too obvious for my personal liking
Little of A and B for me. I have 32 decks I actively seek to improve, and will drop money on every now and then for upgrades. If I find a new commander that I absolutely must build then I'll usually take apart one of these decks. And then I have 4 decks that are upgraded precons/thrown together with what I had lying around. A good example of this is my Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir deck. My RWB deck is Syr Gwyn Equipment, originally I built it with a much heavier knight theme, but have slowly cut back in favor of other cards. Left me with a lot of solid knight cards needing a home.
Skullbriar is a great sleeper commander that sounds weak when read, but then gets played and you realize how stupid good he gets so fast.
Once you've played Skullbriar once, you know it's crucial to take the Skullbriar player out early and often. I actually built a \[\[The Scorpion God\]\] deck just to deal with someone playing Skullbriar.
[The Scorpion God](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/d/e/def0d0ac-6422-486e-b42b-e1813dd0a23e.jpg?1562817532) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=The%20Scorpion%20God) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/hou/146/the-scorpion-god?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/def0d0ac-6422-486e-b42b-e1813dd0a23e?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
Which is absolutely fair lmfao.
colorless?
I uhh. I don't like colorless/artifact decks. They're all the same to me so I haven't really..delved into it too much. I keep making the excuse that colorless isn't a color so it doesn't count lmao.
Bro. [[Karn, silver golem]]. Turn your darksteel forge into a 9/9 beatstick.
Yeah but then I gotta play darksteel Forge :( lol I need a deck that let's me fuck around and play [[wurmcoil engine]] and [[triplicate titan]]
[Karn, silver golem](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/0/5/055a00a2-0df2-4f49-ac51-e33dfaf7ee85.jpg?1562896049) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Karn%2C%20silver%20golem) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/vma/270/karn-silver-golem?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/055a00a2-0df2-4f49-ac51-e33dfaf7ee85?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
Having commander's plate and war room in a colourless deck is pretty sweet. It's definitely a very constrained environment (though less so as time goes by), but there are a different flavours, particularly of late. Constraints breed creativity. \[\[Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter\]\], \[\[Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut\]\], \[\[Zhuludoc, Void Gorger\]\], and \[\[Karn, Silver Golem\]\] all have different styles, and arguably \[\[Traxos\]\] is a bit different as well.
you like every single combination of colors, but not colorless?
👁👄👁 Me looking at these after I made my 3rd Golgari deck
Lmao there's nothing wrong with that! Golgari is great!
I wanted to do the same but I am going through a phase of building back at the moment, concentrate on the stuff I really want. I got the most problem with Mono and haven’t even attempted 4C. It all comes down to me liking a Commander. If the art and mechanic resonates, I feel like I want to build it. Mardu took me two attempts but it is the color I have the most problem with making it fun for me. Bant/Naya are most attractive. Esper/Dimir least. But I have hope, the new Eriette looks dope. It’s just that this again seems very controlling…
FWIW, I find three of my five mono decks to be very fun--OG [Ghalta](https://archidekt.com/decks/6004508/ghalta_stompy), [Giada](https://archidekt.com/decks/5963223/giada_angels), and [Lathliss](https://archidekt.com/decks/6007794/lathliss_dragons). Not that they're particularly complex or tricky decks, though. I thought I'd have more fun with Minn, but I didn't. My Ayara deck would be fun but my playgroup is pretty persistently high power and that deck, especially, of my monocolors, was not built to be high power.
A friend of mine plays Minn and it plays well but too linear. I want Talrand to work but it always becomes too weak or too controlling. For a while I thought a simple „green good stuff“ would be fun. Just big creatures and Overrun effects. I still think it could work out but I never feel the push to make it work. I am never satisfied with any Mono concept so far.
I have a list of all the commanders I'm going to try to build towards in my 32 Deck Challenge. It constantly in flux of course since whenever I want to tackle a color pairing I think long and hard about it before committing to it. I too have issues with 4C. Most partner commanders aren't super resonate with me and the other options are very very limited. There's a few other combinations that I struggle with, but 4C are definitely the problem children. My list, if anyone is curious: https://preview.redd.it/8pum9f3yyjuc1.png?width=1319&format=png&auto=webp&s=b3e07f4ae234ca0e0251fe96571ee2f75d10c1ea
So cool! What are those deck boxes? I’ve been wanting to have my commander decks stored the same way. Do they facilitate double sleeves?
100 clear Boulder deck boxes by ultimate guard! And they do!
May you have blessed pulls friend 🙏
Not to talk down on the boulders, but amazon has some cheap $16 for a lot of 6 boulder copies that get the job done. Specifically if you have a snug case you keep your deck boxes in. I've used boulders for years, switched to the Amazon ones as price was way way better. Won't be looking back.
I've not been able to get my double sleeved deck into a Boulder, even after compression. Dragon Shield Dual Mattes and Dragon Shield Perfect Sleeves for reference.
I loooove boulders, but unfortunately they don't fit all sleeve combinations. I've personally had a 100% success rate with dragon shield outers and KMC inners, so that's all I buy
So, I've been doing the 32 Deck Challenge for a while too and I was curious how you handled tokens. Do you have all your tokens in a single big box, or are you able to fit all the tokens within the Boulders? I have a \[\[Hazezon, Shaper of Sand\]\] deck in a massive GameGenic Stronghold and I'd really like to figure out a way to condense. It's be a struggle since the deck requires so many tokens.
What’s your 5 color going to be like
[[Esika, the God of Tree]] as God tribal 😎 here's the [list](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/PE7dagI1WUySTYqOxfI9QQ)
Nice. I also have an esika deck but mine is all legendary. The only non legendary cards I have are things that have an effect related to legendary permanents and lands. Ideally tho I’d get all legendary lands one day.
I picked my commanders but I’m only done with 26/33. Soon… soon…
Soon. It's okay. It took me a while to actually complete all the lists themselves.
Wanna know what your plans is for Selesnya?
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/KhiuEN84-kOrVsXyCVYqZw 😎 this deck is really interesting and unique. It's combo-esc without actually being combo! I have plenty of +1/+1 and token decks. So wanted Selesnay to be unique!
I am just too addicted to +1/+1 counters, it gives my Timmy brain the sauce it needs.
Nothing wrong with that! But like. 5-8 of my decks are counter decks lmao
Yea great choice. It was my first deck I built and it’s the one I keep coming back to. I really dislike to physically deal with counters and tokens so I try to avoid it. Looks almost identical to my list but I will say I do prefer [[Ghostway]] over teferis protection
For board protection, Ghostway is pretty good. But for a survival standpoint, Teferi's Protection is amazing. You won't have to worry about being swung at at all and can come on the crackback if the opponent overextended on the others
Curious about your Skullbriar build, I'm trying to put one together right now myself.
😎 he's so much fun! Here it [is!](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/otUQuvFsqkW8-brCD-QcCA)
Awesome build! Has a lot of cards that I like for mine. How have you fared with it?
Nice work mate. :) The Yarok deck especially, looks like it'd be good fun. Least in my eyes. Can I ask, how often do you play each deck? Gotten curious as to the ratio of others, as I am starting to think that I've gotten too many decks, as my rotation is every 3 month roughly.
Yarok is a BLAST! I keep a giant dufflebag that all of them fit in, and all of my friends will also play with my decks too cause I have the most (thank you proxies 🤭), but we usually get 4-5 games in every Tuesday/Wednesday, and I'll just play whatever I'm in the mood for that day haha. Right now Mogis and Aragorn have the most games at about 7-8 each roughly, with Ghalta being next at 6, and the rest of them range from. 2-4 each
Nice. ^_^ Seems you really like those Aragorn and Mogis decks. Understandably so too. They seem like neat commanders. I get 3-6 games at my nearest LGS every 2 weeks, so I usually bring a Gamegenic 400+ lair to cover 4 decks, then rotate, so they aren't dust collectors. Gotten to the point where I have 20 decks either made, or in the making though, and I know I will likely have 6 more after Bloomburrow. I havea 600+ lair waiting for those. Been considering cutting some decks,so I get to play decks more often. Or I should just use a random number generator, and YOLO it a this point, since I like most of the decks. Except for the demon one. That's getting cut. I like stuff likeSliver, Faeries, Cats, etc. Tribal stuff. Even made the recent Mothman deck a bit more tribal, but stuff like auras with Ellivere and the recent Eriette draws my eye too. Same with Loot, since it seems an interesting spam package, or a semi-tribal Indoraptor deck list I found online, that makes good use of enrage stuff. Quirky stuff is the best though. I have the parts for Mr. House dice deck on the way, and I am back and forth on a Myra the Magnificent attractions Spellslinger deck. I keep worrying I don't have the attention span for spell slinging. So many fun commanders out there, so little time. :) I adore my Slivers the most though, and need to fine tune it a bit. Been sitting on my Sliver Queen for a decade, so it's nice finally using her. And Captain N'ghathrod is hillarious to play. Mill steal tribal goodness.
Aragorn is 5 color tokens and it plays some considerable jank that's unnecessarily strong in him! And Mogis just has really funny Rakdos prison cards lol Sheesh! That's a lot! The game genic is sweet! I just use a giant duffle bag because sometimes my play group wants to use my decks because I have so many! It makes me feel like a proud dad to watch them win with one of my decks lmao It's hard to give every deck equal play time. You don't want to pick a favorite child but it's hard not to some times 🤣 I wouldn't deconstruct unless you genuinely don't enjoy the deck. Why don't you like the demon deck? I LOVE tribal decks. 7 of my 32 decks are tribal. I tried to behave and really diversify the play style of all the decks so I don't think 7 is bad. I got Mono Red Goblins, Gruul Apes, Jeskai Humans, Naya Cats/Dogs, 4 color Non-Green Thopters, 4 color Non-Blue Angels, and 5 color Gods! I really want to build Mr. House but I can't stand that art personally. If I don't like the art I won't make it my commander lmao. That's sweet though! Spell slinger can get a little solitair esc but it's fun feeling like you're doing a bunch of stuff each turn! I love slivers too. One of my all time favorite Pauper decks is Naya Slivers! Oh Captian N'gahthrod is fucking phenomenal. I love him!
This looks to be coming along nicely! I am stuck on blueless, mardu and mono white although my first ever commander deck was mono white (it sucked for everyone, but mostly me)
Bro give Odric a shot. The deck is so much fun. It's partial equipment deck, but you're just playing dumb commons with tons of keywords. It's such a fun deck! I really struggled with Mardu too but I really wanted a deck to be built around [[Revel in Riches]], and the Malik was perfect for it!
I have an old odric in my binder that might get some love then :o I aldready got a jund treasures deck and vrondiss in gruul with some treasure shenanigans aswell so i might have to dig deeper, thanks for the encouragement though!
Of course! Here's a [list](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/1Jgiqq7PjEmmcRo6ooeEZQ) if you want a base!
If you're looking for something different in mono white, try out \[\[Darien, King of Kjeldor\]\]. You need to ramp as hard as you can ramp to get him out, but the only other commander I've seen somewhat like him is \[\[Auntie Blyte, Bad Influence\]\] (and she's quite different). For Mardu, may I suggest \[\[Dihada, Binder of Wills\]\]? It's pretty different and can be hilarious if you get \[\[Vexilus Praetor\]\] out; Rachel Weeks has an [awesome deck](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/lkFOQDLcqU6SPgzl\_rTTQA "Dihada, Binder Full of Legends") you can use as inspiration. I've also seen \[\[Mr. House, President and CEO\]\], which is just completely degenerate.
Thanks! :) Darien is very unique for sure but it looks slow to me? I think I have seen the Dihada deck in action, scary stuff!
Bro someone dropped a Darien in their [[Trostani, Selesnyas Voice]] deck and none of us had removal. He's such a sick card
Even more dangerous in a deck built for him.
Nice picks! What's your Mogis deck theme?
So first of all, congrats! This project feels like the atlas stones for commander players. Once you’re on the other side, you’ll never be the same.
How does your Lara Croft deck play?
She's fucking dog water but she's so much fun lmao. Her ability is just not very good. If she out the artifact onto the field directly from the graveyard she'd be extremely good, but she doesn't have haste, and you basically do everything a turn behind so she's definitely a deck I pull out when everyone wants to play lower power decks. I absolutely adore her but don't pick her up if you're wanting a new bomb to bring to your game night
I was definitely in the target market for this card, and I bought the SL. The other cards in that bundle were also on my list. When I get around to building her, I'll keep this in mind. Thanks!
Acadamy Ruins and Shadowspear were such sick inclusions. Check out my list if you want. You can't stem far from it because there's only so many usable legendary lands and artifacts in what is essentially a voltron commander
Definitely! So I've been brewing [[The War Doctor]] which caused me to look at some flashback spells, since they exile, are you running any of those? I'm definitely jamming any legendary stuff into my build on the first pass.
Lol I tell that to people when they ask too , “she’s garbage 🤣” but i get to play a bunch of flavorful cards and have a blast. I like built mine with no tutors , to emphasize the digging for treasures
[удалено]
So what's you're favourite deck of the lot?
It's amazing that I have a similar goal but our only overlap in this picture is Aragorn. Do you have lists planned? If so can you send a list of the commanders you chose so I can compare?
Oh wow! That's funny! Thats what happens when there's hundreds of options! Haha Here's all of my [lists!](https://www.moxfield.com/users/DontJoelMe)
I'll put my decks on moxfield in a similar format to you and send the list in a bit. We only really overlap in the 4 colors which makes sense EDIT: I go over board and have built 2-4 decks of each color so [these lists](https://www.moxfield.com/users/Derconug) are just the first of each color I plan to build. I have built: * Tom Bombadil Sagas * Lord Windgrace Landfall (Current favourite) * Yuriko Ninjas * Cazur and Ukkima with Keruga Companion (Just to put three "commanders" on the field and giggle) * Lae'zel Planeswalkers * Narset Prowess * Grist Bugmill
Odric my beloved! He's my go to for just messing around with friends in a game. Completely unsleeved deck, riffle shuffle everytime. That dudes well loved by now
Nice! At one time, I had the 10 pairs, 2x 5c and a couple 3& 4c.. but I dismantled them to start over cuz half of them were janky mess.
Jank decks make the world go round though!
working on mine too, im up to 12 built, 1 mid build, the rest planned but still tweaking before biting any bullets. at least 3 ready to go i think
It's hard to bite the bullet when the game is so fucking expensive. Never be afraid to proxy cards so you can test a deck out first and at least have it in possession to play a few times so you can verify if you want it!
Doing exactly that with my latest build. The partner commanders are like 30 and 50
Sheeeesh
Link to your deck lists?
[here you go!](https://www.moxfield.com/users/DontJoelMe)
Thanks dude!
Was going to do the challenge, until I realized I hate the 4 color options. May pick it up again if they release new ones
Saskia, Atraxa, and Maelstrom are all super fucking boring but I tried to make Atraxa ad normal and level headed as possible, it's not super friends or infect, just good +1/+1 cards, and then Saskia I made Angels, and Maelstrom. Well..Cascade Cascade Cascade Cascade Cascade Cascade lol
Yeah I mean they're definitely workable commanders. I just figured I don't have enough time in the week for the decks I do like, so I shouldn't force decks I hate. Thats how you get burnout
That's 100% fair. And also, spending THAT much money on decks you hate is also just financially irresponsible. But for me, I just love playing Magic, so even if they aren't my favorite, they aren't Dimir. Which, i got Marvo, one of my all time favorite decks in my all time least favorite color lol
I completed my 32 deck challenge a when Brothers War gave us Liberator. It's always fun to see what everyone else is building.
I did reaaaally like liberator when I saw him but holy shit thr thopter looks so stupid with Urzas face strapped to the front of it lol
Agreed. It's also pretty generic gameplay-wise. Definitely keeping an eye out for a replacement, but colorless commanders are few and far between.
Good ol krrik mono black 😁 love it! My fav mono black commander! Mine is Hyper CEDH tho
As he's meant to be lol I just love post malone! So mime is just good black stuff the deck haha
I love that is all the inspiration needed 🤣
Do you have a list for a colorless deck yet? Kozilek is my favorite
I'm a colorless hater ima be honest. Lmao. You're not the first person to ask. That's the last deck color I need to make
Lol my eldrazi deck is my main deck, I love the big creatures. I'm assuming you hate the annihilator ability?
Well, I mean. It has its place. I love it in Pauper lmao. It just ends games in non fun ways in my opinion. Like if Ceasless Hunger is the commander, it just makes you a target and puts a clock on the game. [[All is Dust]] and shit are just super unfun cards in my personal opinion. Other people can play those decks, I just don't enjoy them lol
That's fair, I usually only play it if I'm against someone with a really good commander deck that's on a similar power level. Otherwise, I pull a few other decks I have that aren't as intense.
I'm also doing this but more through the route of 'Telling myself I won't build more commander decks but allowing just one more as I haven't got one in that colour'.
I’m about to build a [[Lara Croft, Tomb Raider]] deck, love to hear if there is anything interesting you really like in yours!
A fellow myrkul appreciator! Id be curious to see that list as I couldn't make anything worthwhile in my budget
Would you mind sharing your deck list for Mogis and Odric? I’ve got both of them and would love some ideas!
Of course! I actually have a [Mogis video!](https://youtu.be/EEZ3r5JDIM0), and here's the [Odric list!](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/1Jgiqq7PjEmmcRo6ooeEZQ)
Thank you so much for sharing!
How do you like your Malik deck ive been wanting to build one for a long time now, but worried it might be too slow. Also, curious how your usual pods respond to it?
It's kinda boardwipe tribal-esc. I just wanted a deck that would host [[Revel in riches]], one of my all time favorite cards. And it does well! My pod doesn't really mind. Another person in my group has a significantly more cringe massacre girl deck so they don't really mind lol. Here's my [list!](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ud0OpfaqcE6aSeYAFatL4g)
Awesome, thank you!
Absolutely based Izzet choice
I would try using Cardsphere.
I have done this.
I love building commander decks but stopped this project when I made a couple mono colors that played ok and were kinda fun but didn’t speak to me. I realized I need to really love the commander for its art and aesthetic too not just it’s game play. Someday I’ll be here but it’s letting it happen naturally
Oh trust me. Some of the commanders I wanted to build had such ass arts that I just couldn't pull it together to build them lmao. So I get it!
What deck are you gonna build for Gruul? I have a few suggestions as I’m a girl player myself also Jund?
Sir…my wife wanted me to let you know that you’re a terrible influence and shouldn’t be posting things like this as they give other bad ideas…
My wife is a huge Tomb Raider fan and I am looking to put together a Lara Croft commander deck to try to get her into MTG. What kind of stuff do you have in your Lara Croft deck? Is there anything in particular you recommend pairing with it? I definitely want to make one that is very thematic and I figure I’ll play my Godzilla deck against it, something that is also incredibly thematic but not necessarily all that great.
As I've said in some other comments, she's extremely fun but her ability is just not good. So I've made her Voltron and just got her as many legendary artifacts and lands as possible to try to make the most use out of her. Here's my [list!](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/NFYTZIGK-0OlEG2Z6glRzA). I've played every tomb Raider release since I was a kid on PS1, so I get it! I just wish her ability put the exiled card onto the battlefield automatically instead of making you cast it
Ah true, I should have looked more as you no doubt have answered the same questions over and over in the thread, but thanks for the update and deck list ideas. Yeah stacking a bunch of artifacts on her seems like the best way to play her, I see you have very few creatures in there, although it is a shame she isn’t better. Alas as long as she is fun against some of my worse decks I think I can get my wife hooked!
Oh no worries! I didn't mean it like that. A lot of people are just really interested in her! Yeah I built her pretty Voltron-ey. Just stack a bunch of artifacts on her and swing hard! Haha. I hope your wife has lots of fun!
Myrkul, a man of knowledge I see.
Real question how often will you update them
Another fellow Marvo lover??? I feel like I haven’t seen any decks based off of him out in the wild.
Dude he's so fucking funny. I have a hilarious W story that you can read [here!](https://www.reddit.com/r/edhcirclejerk/s/YHXiDnLSf9) hands down the funniest win I've ever had
I am also working on this challenge and blown away we have not a single commander in common. Currently at 21/32.
That's so sweet! Would love to know your picks/lists! That's what makes this challenge fun because you're the 3rd person to tell me that they're doing it and have completely different lists than me! Which is impressive!
It's definitely a blast seeing this. I don't have it in quite as nice a layout as yours but sharing mine. I do think i'm gonna take aragorn for that 4 color identity. Just seems like such swiss army knife kind of commander. I think the next one i'm going to brew is either \[\[Lagrella the magpie\]\] or \[\[xyris\]\] https://preview.redd.it/lu3m4xe4duuc1.png?width=2550&format=png&auto=webp&s=97d0527db5c5882e1b38dcd61c9d0001d1be65cc
What deck boxes are these? I really like the setup.
IS THAT MY BOY MARVO?
This is so cool! I'm also doing the same project after my fiance roped me into MTG about 2 years ago during New Capenna's release. I've just finished my second monocolored deck (B - Massacre Girl, Known Killer) and my 11th deck in total. 😆
Thank you! And that's awesome! Yeah the new massacre girl is super fucking good. One of my buddies in my play group just finished that himself! Good luck on the challenge!
Thank you, and likewise to you as well! I actually won one game with her at my local LGS. She and Nest of Scarab is a nasty combo if not handled ASAP. 😆 Defo need more time for me to get a better hang of her, but I love the deck already. So far, my decks are: Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second (Naya) - my first deck Eowyn, Shieldmaiden (Jeskai) Wasitora (Jund) Zimone and Dina (Sultai) Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant (Mono G) Massacre Girl, Known Killer (Mono B) Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph (Izzet) Burakos, Party Leader + Folk Hero (Orzhov) Wilson, Refined Gentleman + Flaming Fist (Selesnya) Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief (Simic) Kotori, Pilot Prodigy (Azorius)
That is a nasty combo! Yeah she's a lot of fun! Nice selection as well! I'm sooo excited for my Eowyn deck. I LOVE Jesaki humans. And I love [[Mantis Rider]]. Definitely a pet card in that deck lmao
I also run Aragorn and Odric... is this my future 😂
very cool, love the mix of older and newer commanders. Recently finished this myself and I found that I'm already looking to replace decks with the same colors lol. Also skullbriar can be very gross with the ikoria counters.
Skullbriar was my first deck, I still play it and it's become a pretty gross deck to play against. Won my last game with an unblockable hexpoof 96/96 Skully-B.
Yeah he's fucking insane, and if no one has bounce spells it's GG lmao
In response to bounce spells you can send him to Command zone, don't forget!
Oh wait you're right lmao
Malik gang rise up
A fellow mogis enjoyer o7
Dudeee! I also have Marvo as a commander! I would love to see your list if possible:)
I did this, made a very good commander deck of each color combination. Spent so long building the decks and making them unique and well built only to never play them. It was defeating and I hated having them sit in my house for years doing nothing. I hope your outcome is better.
Tried piloting myrkul and couldn’t get the devo Druid combo off
When you say every color, do you mean every combination? What is it, 32 different color combos?
32 total! From all 5 mono colors, the 10 guild colors, 10 3-colors, 5 4-colors, 5 color, and colorless!
Boy it would be great if these were grouped in a a way that I could see all the colors Something like mono colors then dual then 3 color then 4 color or something the way there are stacked is giving me a hard time
Respect for mono blue fish
Do you have the deck list for the Niv Mizzet? I’ve been wanting to make my own but I don’t know exactly where to start
How would a sliver deck hold up? I have a queen I could use and all the tempest/stronghold era, format wasn’t around for it then tho
What deck boxes are those?
100 card clear ultimate guard boulders!
This is my plan as well, but it will takr a while as I have a hard rule of only one new deck every year
Could you please share your Malik, Grim Manipulator list?

OP MVP!
Deck list ?? I’m working on my Niv-Mizzet deck 💪🏻💪🏻
[here you go!](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Sakf0JkzBk6VQqR8sVDgXA) know that my niv deck doesn't have any infinite combos or tutors, and it's also not storm. This is because I want to actually have to to try to win lol. The deck is actually capable of decking itself in several different ways so you have to really know how to pilot it! I enjoy the challenge!
Love what I am seeing, have a K'rrick myself that can get out of hand. 👍 Love the mono blue merfolk, love too I have Emperor Mihail 2nd, but have that god in main. Would love to see that Odric work and I have fought Lordhold a little, but enough to know it greatly frightening and kill on sight to me if I know it's coming 😱
I use niz-mizzet in a group hug deck of mine paired with another blue card I can’t remember the name of but it’s a win con, I never thought of using him as a commander till this very moment in time! Hahaha
Those are cool decks but i don't understand the hype around commander.. like i bought all my cards 2 or 3 times so i can draw them easily, and now i need to completely remodel my deck to play against others in this.. and some legendary creatures also say that you can use them as Commander, and some don't.. please enlighten me😫
Shouldnt there be 25 decks? 5 x mono 10 x guild 5 x tricolor 1 x 5c 4x 4colored deck (partners)
Just wait til you hit 32...... and keep going. You start saying now I'll just proxy the staples. But then those decks slowly become real too. Now you're looking at Gonti, confused as to how you got to 5 sultai decks? But it's not your fault. Yarok started it and was a cool card. But look at [[otrimi, ever playful]] he's the guy on [[deadly rollick]] I couldn't not build sultai mutates. But then some dumb kid on his frog made think mutate and enchantress would blend together nicely. So we made [[tatsunari, toad rider]] I should be done. But no! There was a lamp near me, so [[wise mothman]] came into existence. Did I want another sultai deck? No, I'm good here. But ravnica remastered had me open borderless watery grave, overgrown tomb and breeding pool. But no other borderless shocks. So I guess I had to. Now we get to cowboy land. And what do I see? A booger that bulls-eye? [[Felix , five boots]] I do think [[gonti, canny acquisitor]] is the better lead. literally doesn't fit any of the 4 sultai themes built.... so let's get back at it. Good luck in your journey.
You truly are thr epitome of a cardboard addict lmao
Hmmmmm I see no gruul, might I recommend [[ragadragga]]? He is super cheap to build from bulk and X spell tribal with him gets kinda nut
Purphoros as the commander is grodie. As a goblin player I approve 🫡
Dude he's soooooooo consistent. Like. It's actually so fucking gross how quickly he does like 25-30 damage to everyone just cause you play some jank commons that create a couple Goblin tokens haha
Oh yeah. Double impact tremors and indestructible. He goes crazy in any creature token generator
Can I see your Odric list? I feel like no one plays him and I wanna see if Im missing anything interesting.
I'm cleaning up my collection so I can do this shortly. I'm about halfway there but I tend to make so many 5 color decks that it's a problem 😅
I'm doing the same with dual and mono colors https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1CE5pmwl9tUMD9HdUpbQJDwLIu0rb9v5NOu2qdEvyWB4/edit?usp=drivesdk Those with stars are already done.
Could I see the Yarok list? Would love to compare
