Hello! I've been working on this Rocco, Street Chef deck for some time now. Are my card ratios right? Do I have everything I need? And are there some sleeper hit or just good cards I should think of including? Let me know!

redid parts of my Daryl deck. Hansk, Slayer Zealot isn't a real card. I refuse to believe.

Commander Deck Reviews / My Commodore Guff Superfriends deck! Looking to finalize the list.

I'm hoping I got the balance of PWs, support, interaction and draw right, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. I went for a combo centric list, with some spicy PW based combos. Let's see how many you can find!

After two and a half years of deckbuilding experience and a whole lot of thought, I have redone my old forced combat Thantis, the Warweaver list. The new list has some notable improvements, which are detailed in the list, and overall feels better. Any thoughts?

Deck Reviews / My first attempt at a cube

This was my first every attempt at building a cube. It is a amalgamation of a regular budget cube with added elements of multiplayer games and utter chaos. It still needs a significant amount of work, but I've enjoyed it throughout the testing so far.

Overarching Draft Archetypes:
Sultai Attractions (this one needs some fixing or changing)
Abzan Hatebears (works well with other weenie and aggro strats)
Mardu Politics/Aristocrats (strangely fun)
Jeskai Chaos (probably going to refine this into a more noncreature spells matter theme, but keep the chaos)
Temur Dragons (Dragons :3 -still working on making it feel like you'd want to draft a dragon tribal rather than throwing dragons at something else)

Jund Cheating (as in reanimation and cheating creatures into play - just realized I should add Sneak Attack as I was typing this) (also needs work)
Naya Tokens (good for now but other cards need to produce some more tokens to support this)
Bant Counters (straightforward, slight adjustment needed)
Esper Dungeons (I like dungeons, and initiative also pairs well with the Mardu monarch cards)
Grixis Spellslinger (good old fashioned cantrips and removal fun)

Some of the changes that I intend to make soon will be adding in more AFR cards with dice rolling to increase randomness, tweaking the flawed overall themes, especially Sultai, and taking recommendations or suggestions on how to improve. I've used CubeCobra's playtest feature to try drafting, and it's been pretty fun so far. Thank you for reading, and I welcome any help from more experienced cubers!

(Oh, yeah, there's conspiracies for more options, and I am welcome to adding UnSet and Playtest cards if anyone knows some good ones.)

Commander Deck Reviews / We all love Aristocrats decks

« on: January 25, 2023, 07:56:14 am »

This is my Teysa Karlov deck. I run it at my LGS and it does very well. With the release of Phyrexia: All Will Be One, I am thinking of updating the list, looking particularly at Drivnod, Carnage Dominus, Skrelv's Hive, and some more tutoring power. Any suggestions?

(Yes, I know it's not arranged in custom sections, I had to retype the list after wifi died.)

Commander Discussion / CMC 2 Commanders -a discussion

« on: July 30, 2022, 10:23:01 pm »

This started out of a weird bit of research and a challenge.

Have you ever built a really cheap commander? As in CMC 2 or lower? I decided to explore this today, and came across this. Every single guild has at least three legends with a CMC of 2 that can be played as a commander, and every mono colored option has even more. In addition, backgrounds and partner pairs add even more options, with Selesnya coming up on top, with around 9 options to chose from.

Now for a challenge: Using one of these CMC 2 legends (any guild color pair) as commander, build a deck without any cards that cost more than $2.

In addition, what are your opinions on commanders that come down early and have a large impact on the game? Cards like Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy have huge impact and can combo off extremely easily, and as threats and legends become cheaper, how does having a cheap card with guaranteed access in the command zone impact the format?

Thank you.

Commander Deck Reviews / Feedback and touching up on my Daryl deck

Finally got around to building this deck. I've given it a little testing, and it feels pretty consistent, but I know it needs some tweaking, most likely in the noncreature removal department. Any suggestions?

Commander Discussion / Challenge: Create a unique deck!

« on: May 11, 2022, 04:52:03 pm »

This is a deck building challenge I randomly cam across while speculating and theory crafting. The challenge is to go onto EDHREC and either find a commander and build it in a way that nobody else has, or put together a new partner combination that hasn’t been tried yet. My initial idea was a Kydele/Prismatic Piper (black)/Keruga creature storm/combo deck that would seek to draw the entire deck by using Kydele to cast the Prismatic Piper repeatedly with Greater good and Intruder alarm in play. What are your new, unique, never-built-before decks?

General Magic / Underplayed and Overlooked gems

« on: January 21, 2022, 07:57:05 pm »

Question: Are there any cards you can think of that are criminally underplayed but could be extremely good?

Here's Blessing of Frost. Cheaper than Shamanic Revelation, and better if you prefer playing chonkers and buffing them up. Plus it plays nicely with snow lands and mana sources. I think it's not popular enough, anyone else?

Commander Discussion / Mix it up - a EDH deckbuilding challenge

« on: August 01, 2021, 08:16:51 pm »

There's so much variety in EDH, but so many of the new decks built are on-theme with ideal cards and commanders. But sometimes, a little shake up is needed. The challenge is to take a random color combination and theme from the lists below and build an interesting deck. Roll a d20 on each of the lists, and try to build something new. Avoid partners if possible, they make it a bit too easy.

Colors.                                            Theme.
1. Azorius                                        Artifacts
2.Boros                                           Aristocrats
3.Dimir                                           Lifegain
4.Golgari                                         Lands
5.Gruul                                            Sacrifice
6.Izzet                                            +1/+1 Counters
7.Orzhov                                         Equipment
8.Rakdos                                         Enchantment
9.Selesnya                                      Tokens
10.Simic                                          Planeswalkers
11. Bant                                          Spellslinger
12.Esper                                          (self)Mill
13.Grixis                                         Blink
14.Jund                                          Discard
15.Naya                                          Graveyard
16.Jeskai                                        Legends
17.Abzan                                        Chaos
18.Temur                                        Theft
19.Mardu                                        Burn
20.Sultai                                         Voltron

Here's a draft of my Selesnya Self Mill deck I made for inspiration.

Let the building begin!

Commander Discussion / Triple Commander Challenge

« on: May 18, 2021, 11:35:30 pm »

Partners are rather interesting in EDH, since they give you incredible flexibility in what you deck can do and which colors it can have. Companions are almost like a second commander, but have extremey rigid deckbuilding restrictions.

The challenge? Build a commander deck with partners as commanders and use a companion.

Lutri and Yorion don't work, and there is no Gruul companion, since Jegantha, the Sellspring is 5c. Good luck!
