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.

After rolling a few times, I got a few cool ideas.

Gruul spellslinger - Wort, the Raidmother
Boros +1/+1 counters - Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice
Jeskai lands - Numot, the Devastator
Simic Aristocrats - Koma, Cosmos Serpent
Esper lands -Dakkon Blackblade

Any other weird deck building ideas?

Fun idea. I got Esper Legends and Boros Graveyard... I think I already have a Boros Graveyard (or at least reanimator) deck or two, though I'm not sure if I've ever actually tried them. Esper Legends sounds fun though.

I got Dimir Spellslinger but my build is more like Dimir controll/controllslinger. And i couldnt be bothered to build a real landbase, so that needs some fixing.
