I would love to have a Grimgor or Azhag precon deck and also a Dark Elves one. But, for some reason, even when there are already Warhammer 40K precons, there is not any Warhammer Old World precons yet. I do not understand why.

Is there a reason for that?

Stuff like this:

• I have an [[Impact Tremors]] out. Someone else makes infinite creature tokens. I play [[Will of the Mardu]] and win.

• I have a [[Blood Artist]] and [[Teysa Karlov]]. There are 20+ creatures on the board and someone wipes = I kill 1+ player(s).

• Someone has a 40+ power [[Tifa Lockhart]] and tries to kill me. I [[deflecting palm]] and kill them.

imo these wins/kills are 100% clean regardless of what turn they happen on. Is that the consensus or is this still "too fast" for B3?

Before you get out your pitchforks, yes I know Zur is an old boogeyman, yes I know people will hate me out of the game, yes I know he can be exceptionally powerful and degenerate. I play with an established playgroup that I trust so some simple communication helps a lot of these issues. I'm playing Zur for one simple reason: to play my actual commander, [[Enduring Ideal]].

Enduring Ideal lets you tutor up any enchantment you want directly onto the battlefield for the low low price of not being able to cast any spells the rest of the game. With the newly printed [[Mornsong Aria]], we even have an enchantment tutorable with Zur that can tutor up Enduring Ideal every game (as long as it sticks). What better commander could there be than Zur, a literal walking enchantment tutor? Should be fun, and there's a ton of wacky stuff you can do with a deck built around this.

Onto the main question of the post. I've never played against a Zur deck, and I'm wondering what cards might be acceptable and what cards might be a little too powerful even if they don't seem like it. I obviously am not going to be playing stax or MLD, but what about pillowfort cards like [[Propaganda]], [[Ghostly Prison]] or [[Solitary Confinement]]? Are these too strong or hated for a B3 game when you can tutor them up? What about some premium removal like [[Oubliette]] or [[Darksteel Mutation]]?

I know these cards are good, and I know they can cause some saltiness as I've played them before. I suppose what I'm wondering is if they "cross a line" I suppose and become just another Zur deck.

I really am just trying to build a fun, interesting, yet still powerful bracket 3 deck here, so I don't want to do anything that causes my friends undue saltiness or cause them not to have fun, while still being able to include things like protection for myself and removal.

I made this deck as a fun experiment but I will never actually play it out of mercy for my mates. I just wanted to show it off and see what other players think of it.

Please let me know if you spot any true 2-card infinite combos that have slipped through. I would like to remove them and keep this deck as honest as possible.

This is a Ghave, Guru of Spores combo-synergy deck built around making tokens, sacrificing creatures, and abusing +1/+1 counters. Instead of relying on a few specific win conditions, almost every card interacts with another, creating hundreds of possible combo lines.

The deck uses engines like:

• Ghave + token/sacrifice engines
• Cathars' Crusade + token generation
• Mikaeus + recursion creatures
• Aristocrat payoffs like Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat

to generate value and win.

New to Mtg, I bought the turtle power deck with 5 mana because I like the art and the theme and so far it has been good..... Right now Im looking for some upgrades like some cards that would work well with leo as commander(maybe lands, rambs, mana stuff)

Should I buy the gift bundle from marvel and expect some good pulls or it is a bad idea and I should just buy singles for this deck?

Im planning to get the Lara Croft card bundle from a reseller right, as I really like tomb raider and I’m new to MTG. I wanna build a commander deck to be able to play but I would still need more cards to fulfill the 100 card requirement.

Thing is, I’m already splurging on the set, so I need the rest of the cards to be as cheap as possible. I’d be playing casually with friends, no tournament or anything.

Is there a precon that could work well with the Lara Croft bundle I’m buying? https://secretlair.wizards.com/us/en/product/879323/secret-lair-x-tomb-raider

Or maybe getting cheap cards individually would be cheaper, but of course cards that work well either way lara

Gwen Stacy // Ghost Spider

Looking for feedback on my [[Gwen Stacy // Ghost-Spider ]] Commander deck! The goal is to keep it 100% Marvel-themed using only cards from the Marvel MTG sets, built around exile, blink, and Spider-Verse synergy. What would you cut or add while staying true to the superhero theme?

I also thought about adding [[Daredevil, Fearless Fighter]] , [[Daredevil's Billy Club]] , [[Stick, Fearless Mentor|], and the 3 Talismans used for jeski
i'm not trying to be Uber competitive just casual fun in bracket three with my brother. We're all building marvel centered decks

I've been playing magic for a bit and my absolute favorite deck to run is a mardu tokens deck, I love all aspects of it and it feels perfect for me. The only problem I consistently run into is I cannot counterspell stuff. I play other decks and ad much as I love them none of them call out to me like mardu does, but it just seems like im missing out with no blue. Is there any way to get consistent counterspells in mardu so I can actually interact and stop my opponents from playing their combo pieces and other such things?

Hello! I recently took the FF6 precon 'cause I didn't have a base for a reanimator deck. And Now, I have some questions:

is it good out of the box? Which cards should i keep/cut/add?

I'd like to use Celes, rune knight as a commander (no b4 persist infinite combo, just a simple reanimator deck) is that a good idea with the cards already in the precon?

That's my first time with a graveyard deck (except for land sac hearthhull, but it's a bit different). Thanks in advance!

I've been interested in [[Tifa, Martial Artist]] for a while, and I've finally gotten myself to sit down and start building her. I'm aiming for a Bracket 3 deck, and I feel like I'm *almost* there, but I can't quite seem to get this in a place where I'm confident with her.

I had originally tried having some equipment, but cut those. I had more mana dorks, but I keep going back and forth on how many to have. One minute there's a bunch, the next there's two. I want big creatures, or creatures that have combat utility, but I keep ending up with creatures too expensive to do much with. So I keep swapping them around. Sometimes I have a bunch of 4+ CMC combat fellas, sometimes I just have a couple to make room for cheaper creatures with more utility.

If I can get Tifa going, she can hit hard. But getting her to the that point can sometimes feel tough if I don't have a haste enabler.

The main weakness of the deck is that if Tifa gets online, she's all gas. But remove her and I stall out. I'm trying to mitigate this, or hit hard enough it's not a huge problem, but it's tough to find the right balance.

I might be at a point where I'm overthinking it, but this deck has gone through multiple drafts. I keep looking at other decks on Moxfield and such for inspiration, but can't quite seem to settle on a final product.

This is far from a final draft, but I'm open to suggestions and ideas. Which direction to lean more into, better cards to throw in, cuts, etc. Open to all ideas here.

EDIT: Forgot to note, but me and my pod are cool with proxies. I proxy a lot actually lol. So if there's cards to add that are expensive, I'm still open to it.

Is teysa karlov still a viable commander and if so could she do anything in a bracket 3 deck or would she be considered to slow I’ve never played a commander game before but I’d like to start and I’d like to try and build her just not really sure what I should be building towards

I was given the Warhammers Necron Dynasty Precon as a gift and I honestly don’t even know what to do with it. It’s the Collectors edition as well so it makes it even harder. What would you guys do if you got something like this? Would you keep it locked away unopened or would you rip the box and play with it. Honestly I don’t know what to even do so I’m just looking for some community advice.

Hi,

I just built a deck around [[Gwen Stacy]]. I looked at all the mechanics that cast from exile like cascade, Prepare etc. and mostly Impulse and picked what I thought was fitting as well as some payoffs for doing so like [[Nico Minoru]] or [[Quintorius Kand]]. Yet allthough I included lots of impulse draw, I feel like I cast way too few from exile... mostly I use an impulse spell and cast one of the cards but then I m out of mana, and it did not really matter...

Am I missing something? Should I ditch the impulse spells for stuff that impulses on its own without having to spend mana? (like [[Araña]])

Or is the paradox playstyle just lackluster? so maybe I should rather use noncreature payoffs?

Hey all,

I found a list online and started doing some modifications. I think it's an OK place, but I'd love if someone could run a critical eye over it and offer feedback.

https://archidekt.com/decks/24035129/edhrec_hulk

Specific issues I've come across while playing:

• Hulk gets removed a lot - which is very fair and expected. I've tried to build a wider protection package for him, but not sure what the optimum number should be.
• A lack of creatures. I've only got 16 creatures - which seems fine for this kind of strategy. But it often leaves me defenceless for the first few turns. I tried to add professional face breaker and a few other creatures in to at least provide some blockers.

Also, while I do have caltrops in the 99 (as I think it's always helpful to have a finisher) I'm not planning on tutoring for it. I appreciate that it's probably the most contentious card (as a 2 card combo) but feels like it's heavily telegraphed enough with Hulk being the threat.

So, any advice welcome really. I'd appreciate suggestions on cuts/things that look stupid from an outside perspective. And anything you think would make the deck flow better!

I have this deck that is WAY too strong for bracket 3, but in bracket 4 lobbies it can struggle, seeming to be one or two turns behind at most times. I'm usually looking to win with a windfall/lab man combo, or with something like a crackle with power for a trillion damage. How can i make it a little more consistent?

This deck list I have if more of experimental deck and I wanted to see how far I push it to it's limits.

This is what I created, I all of the cards minus the tutors and infinity stones. I can get them slowly but I'm wondering if it's worth making the deck like this?

Have you ever made a deck like this and can win early? What are your opinions on running tutors and having so many? I personally love this deck and I have another deck like this too but those are because they're my favorite, I constantly look up better cards for them and upgrade them as soon I see better cards?

First, here's the decklist:

https://moxfield.com/decks/abseK4UPLUGUekgNO-ioVw

Second, the power level I'm looking for is Bracket 2 or 3. Meta is very grindy and ramp-heavy.

Third, my commander... is either [[Ognis]] or [[Minsc and Boo]] or [[Saskia]] and the problem is... I can't decide who works best.

So, I wanted to build an RDW list for commander that focuses on small creatures with haste that put a serious clock on the game turns 1, 2, 3, and then drops a 4-drop commander that puts pressure on my opponents.

Let me be clear: I don't expect to win every game. I expect to put a timer on the game. Too much of the games I've played are ramp, ramp, ramp, something big, but it takes about 5-6 turns for things to get going.

I want to put a clock on the game where by turn 4 or 5 someone is either dead or almost dead.

My ideal turn 1 is either land - [[Goblin Guide]] or land - [[Bomat Courier]]. With [[Earthshaker Khenra]] on turn 2 and [[Ahn-Crop Crasher]] turn 3. Not exactly those three, but you get the idea.

My original commander for this was Minsc and Boo. Which made sense. Make my tiny hasty creatures BIG on turn 4 and make people really sweat. But I felt like it never really succeeded.

So then I saw Ognis. Turn 4, make a bunch of treasures, turn 5 cast... Something big? Something impactful? It seemed like a good idea. Still isn't quite working.

I then thought about doing Saskia, turn 4 double my damage? But I already have a Saskia deck that is a taxes/punishment deck. I don't want to run 2 decks with the same commander.

But I'm not sure which way to go:

1. Minsc and Boo to make my small creatures big?
2. Ognis to make a bunch of treasures then drop bigger spells?
3. Saskia to effectively double my damage?

How would you build an RDW-ish deck for commander to put pressure on your games?

I have seen some rule zero threads on here before but was curious to see if anyone does anything a little against the grain. I pulled a [[Mox Poison]] out of my MB2 box last year and thought it might be an interesting idea to keep it in the middle of the table and allow each player to use it on their turn. The poison counters would prevent it from being over used but it would also open players up for proliferate effects. Anyone do anything like this?

I got the idea to build this commander from tiktok of all places but it seems like a cool concept, relying on landfall triggers to build my boardstate and using the commanders ability to cheat some big stompies on the field. This is the first deck i have ever built completely from scratch so i am looking for any and all helpful suggestions on changes or ideas for this deck

Hey everybody, I built a Satoru Deck and am curious if you think it fits into Bracket 2. I uploaded it into Deckcheck.co and apparently it's a Bracket 3, but you can't really rely on that.

There are some cards I had to subtitute, since a cardmarket order got lost on it's way and I plan to use this version of the Deck this weekend.

I plan to add some flavorful cards like [Debt to the Kami] and [Imprisoned in the Moon], as well as [Moon-Circuit Hacker], [Moonsnare Specialist], [You Are Already Dead] and [Key to the City].

What would you cut, if it is more of a bracket 3? Apparently the Theft-cards could be problematic, but I imagine that to be one of the most fun aspects of the deck. I'm excited for some feedback!

Deck:

https://moxfield.com/decks/OHefAfj8LHagehHZCeOZAg

Legendary Creature — Time Lord Doctor

Casting Cost: 2 Generic, 1 White, 1 Red (4 Total)

Card Details: Whenever one or more other permanents phase out and whenever one or more other cards are put into exile from anywhere, put a time counter on The War Doctor.
Whenever The War Doctor attacks, it deals damage equal to the number of time counters on it to any target. If a creature dealt damage this way would die this turn, exile it instead.

I recently got back into Doctor Who and I want to make a deck featuring the War Doctor. I want to utilize all the exiling, phasing out cards I can but I'm not sure what are the must adds to make this a strong deck. I'm not much of a staxy player so Im going more for speed and strength to take out opponents quickly with cool exiling spells or abilities.

In addition, I'm not sure who to use as a companion, specifically from Doctor Who since several characters can be a companion to the Doctor. Ive been Told Clara Oswald is good because you can pick a complementary color (like Black) and she doubles his triggers but she costs 6 mana. Who are some good picks that can make this build even more powerful.

I know not many people like universes beyond, but if you have any input or suggestions I would gladly appreciate it as I'd love to build this deck.

Hey, im playing "Clavileño, First of the Blessed" as my Commander and in the deck is the "Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose" + "Exquisite Blood" combo, i also run a "Vampiric Tutor" since i happened to have one and i like the flavor in a Vampire tribal Deck.

I thought it would be a weak Bracket 3 Deck but it seems like some people think its more of a bracket 4, even if i dont know how the Deck would ever have any chance in that Bracket.

I´m curious about your opinions and insights.

This is the Decklist: https://moxfield.com/decks/jjqbn8pou0SpsCieAbcEZA

(Its my first ever reddit post, i hope its alright)

Hey all trying to think of a fun everything is random deck.

I need cards that do things at random. Cascade works but im also looking for the things I cascade into to do random thing to random opponents.

I was thinking trying to do it with Umaro Raging yeti but im open to other commanders.

Searching "random" with legendary creatures just ends up things on the bottom in a random order.

Although I could just have every card say random too.

Any commander or card ideas are welcome budget is preferred but I can add to my wishlist for solid upgrades.

What a whirlwind of a weekend it was for spoiler season. A peek into the future at Magic's releases in 2027, a bunch of new cards from The Hobbit, and Reality Fracture planeswalkers — plenty of stuff to look at.

In case you missed the reveal streams, need to catch up on what was released, or just want to remind yourself about what was released, here are some quick-and-dirties for the highlights:

Mystery Booster Commander in 2026 and a glance at 2027 releases

A look at the latest appearances of the Lorwyn Five and their Echoverse counterparts, as well as some miscellaneous Reality Fracture previews

The cards making up the lovely Scene Box collages for The Hobbit were spoiled

A note on The Hobbit: I opted not to write about the main-set spoilers since I prefer to wait for all of the spoilers to come out for the main set before I start reviewing. Besides, there's been plenty of coverage on Queen of Dale and Beorn already, so there's no shortage of analysis on the new competition to Ledger Shredder (if you buy into the hype).

As much as the infinite spoiler season can get exhausting, I'm still really excited about what's to come in the near future for Magic. My #1 most-wanted item is a revisit for mutate for Titanbreach. What's yours?

Is this combo okay in bracket 3?

Had a player who stated they had this and their commander was the Ezuri. The table wasnt cool with it (per no chaining extra turns in b3) and he switched decks.

The guys was salty about it and couldnt let it go making comments when a player took an extra turn like "I hope you dont hit your second extra turn spell that would be awkward" and kept bringing up that the combo "is on two creatures so it's fine".

Was the table wrong in telling him the combo was innappropriate for b3?

Id like to hear the general consensus on this.
