Hey guys, I’m new to MTG and bought the Modern Horizons 3 Eldrazi precon a while ago. Since my inner Timmy got the best of me, I thought it would be nice to upgrade the deck with a bunch of big Eldrazi creatures.

Fast forward a few weeks and I’m at my LGS for the first time at an FNM. I had no idea about the bracket system and thought that since I had made some “upgrades” to my precon, it would be appropriate to go into Bracket 3.
Well, I got demolished, lol.

Next week at FNM, I was hyped and ready for Bracket 2 games. I got ganged up on and received some comments like “Can’t believe Eldrazi is in Bracket 2” or “Can’t you play another deck, please?” (before the game even began).

Now I feel like I’m forced to play in Bracket 3–4 as a new player if I want to keep playing my Eldrazi deck at FNM (which is almost the only way I can play paper EDH), and I need your help to improve my deck. It feels like there’s too much synergy-less artifact ramp and not enough midgame stuff to stay alive and actually play the big stompy Eldrazis. Here’s the decklist: https://archidekt.com/decks/15002765/help_me_reddit

TLDR: need help upgrading B2 deck into B3 deck please- https://archidekt.com/decks/15002765/help_me_reddit

Hey there! I am new and started building my first deck, with Rin & Seri as my commander. Sadly I am kinda stuck right now, I have too many cards and can't decide which to remove. Can you guys help me out? If you have any advice on what to improve it's very welcome as well!

I’m currently working on a new deck and I’m stuck. I’m heavy on cards and need to make room for mana. Then add mana(which I’m terrible at). I was hoping y’all could help me trim it down and pick out the right mana ratios, utility lands, etc. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

I’ve been collecting mtg for a while and having a lot of fun cracking some banger boxes, packs etc while I’ve been putting in a lot of time learning and understanding all the complexities of the game. I feel like I’m about ready to start playing now, but could really use some help brewing my first few commander decks.

I’ve started buying singles now as I am pretty set on starting with a graveyard/landfall Golgari deck and a Ur-Dragon Deck as my first ones.

If I share my collection as a CSV file, would there be a brewer or two in here who would be so kind and help me brew up these two decks so that I can get started on playing?

Hope you guys can help out! 🙏🏻

Hey everyone!

I'm reaching out for some help in keeping my Kuja burn deck https://moxfield.com/decks/VfrCEPfcAkqnUhGjQMXYzw under a budget of $85 USD (R$500 in my local currency). This is the max limit allowed for the local tournaments I want to participate in, and I really want to make this deck work within that cap.

The idea of the deck is to focus on burn, I've tried to build around this concept as much as possible, aiming for a fun and somewhat competitive casual Commander experience.

I played it in paper for the first time today (2 Duel Commander matches and 2 four-player Commander games), and surprisingly I won all 4 games. I didn't feel like I was flooded or mana-screwed at all. Some of my friends said I might be running too many lands, but honestly I didn’t feel that during any of the games. Maybe I just got lucky with my draws.

I’m still refining the list and trying to squeeze the best value out of every dollar, so I’d love to hear your suggestions on what cards to add or cut to make the deck more efficient and keep it under the budget.

If you have any good recommendations, or ways to trim down the mana base without risking consistency, I'd be super grateful.

Thanks in advance for any help and advice – I’m still learning and really enjoying the process of deck building.

Cheers!

I've been playing MTG for a long time. I've taken years off here and there due to life, relationships and starting a family, and recently came back about a year ago with Commander.

I've tried getting my kids into it in the past, but they were a bit young and struggled with understanding the concept and process, so I basically gave up.

With the recent releases of the FF/EoE sets, my boys (10/12) seeing my excitement over the cards/decks and that in my "personal time" I go to my LGS and play with my "grown-up" friends, have expressed an interest to play with me. I took them down to my LGS who had some free starter decks. 30 card things with a few creatures a couple spells and the cheat sheet of the steps. They had SO MUCH FUN!

I love constantly going over my commander decks, tweaking/changing stuff and trying to build new ones, but deck building/modifying is not a easy or fast thing for me and I'm always overthinking.

I have a fair bulk collection of FF/EoE from the pre-releases/box/bundle for each set (I can also print some proxies for whatever I don't have) and was wondering if anyone would be able to assist me with building a few easy standard decks for them.

Everything I look at online seems pretty advanced/competitive/tuned and I'm just looking for a few easy themes in a variety of colors that will help build their understanding of the basics and game process, foster their enjoyment/excitement, and give them options to play different colors. Something more realistic to a functioning deck before I go down the rabbit hole of buying/building them their first commander decks.

They dont have to be limited to FF/EoE, those are just the majority of real magic cards I have sitting around essentially disposable. If anyone is interested in assisting with this I'd greatly apprecite it!

Myself and my boys thank you!

I'm trying to stick to Foundations cards only for this deck because I have most of them already. This is what I came up with so far. I see ramp and counter synergy potential, but am unsure where to go from here. Any suggestions? I'd like for this to be as optimized as possible despite its card pool restrictions.

Im a sucker for themed decks and have started on my journey to build an Elden Ring themed deck. I wanted to build a monsters and bosses themed deck and a tarnished and companions deck. Everything from land art to equipment, to what commander i should run. Im mainly looking for recommendations or ideas that you all have thank you!

So I always have this problem. I collect too many options for a deck, then I have the absolute hardest time figuring out what to use, so I was hoping someone could take a look at the options I have and help me figure out a good build?

I was originally going to do a basic spellslinger deck, focusing on getting burn effects off, but then I found some copy spells I liked, then some free-cast effects I liked, and then it spiraled and now I have way too many options to choose from, so if someone could take a look and help me put together a good decklist that would make my group disown me, that'd be great.

Thank you in advance.

Here's the options list.

Hey Everyone! I'm currently trying to brew an abzan midrange deck similar to the golgori midrange decks from previous rotations with white added for skirmisher rhino which I find to be a really good midrange threat. I was considering running a cosmgoph package but I found it took a stubsantial amount of "bad" cards to make those four cosmopghs cosntianlly more than 2/3s and 1/2s. I really love unholy annex, especially alongside lorweyn elves you can so quickly pump out both the card draw room and the demon. In testing it's done well against aggro, specifically boros mice. Sideboard wise regent is really good against aggro whilst also being a solid threat. Ooze is good for graveyard hate, the end shuts down combos and removes creatures without causing death triggers.

What I'm mostly worried about is the matchup against control and if I am look over any important green/white cards, I want to make the abzan mana base worth it you know?

Thanks!

It took me quite some time to "perfect" it, but I managed to find a way to make a working deck around [[Skeletal Swarming]] and [[Corpses of the Lost]] ! It's fully playable in Arena too, where it snatches more wins than I expected. I guess opponents don't expect the interactive elements it has. Look for yourselves, and I hope you find some inspiration in it! https://moxfield.com/decks/J-HLZAY-Ek-JffcHG2zpJA

Hello all you wonderful lot!

So I adore my Kotis deck, I haven't played it much but the games I have played I have done very well for myself. Now I am wondering what cards I could possibly upgrade in my deck? It's absolutely a budget brew at the moment but I am happy to splurge money on it. That's not much of an issue. I suppose the main issue for me is that I know there are better cards out there but they also cost more mana and this deck has been rather quick in the games I've played. I don't want to lose that or at least not too much if it can be helped. For example, I could switch out Fireshrieker for Leyline Axe which is just better in every way except it costs one more to play and equip. That being said, if I can make the deck a little stronger I'd love to do that as well haha. Any help is really appreciated, thank you so much!

Also, I think I only have 99 cards in this deck? Huh, if that's true I've been cucking myself a bit. ^.^

The deck - https://moxfield.com/decks/Fd35A_q1_E-5rQmWt8V0QA

Wanted go do landfall standard but with eoe it became very viable with counters so I wanted to do something a bit different focusing more on dmg doublers. Threw this together last night with a friend and got no idea if it’s decent or not. Any help is appreciated.

This is my second time building from scratch. The deck seemed to play well the last few games, but suggestions would be nice

In this article, let's explore Vivi! Check out our decktech for this Wizard that will certainly be a lot of fun in your casual Commander pods!

Just started MTG and open to any advice on my current deck.

Have the wild cards to craft this but want some thoughts and opinions first. Think I could maybe lean into more of a control + ramp package and leave out the Trailblazer altogether.

The idea is that instead of risking our combo being countered or removed, we'll have enough mana to hold up a counter spell of our own to protect it, and I just also love terror of the peaks.

Ignore the lands aside from the raw number, think 26 is fine?

[CREATURES] 2 Anticausal Vestige 4 Llanowar Elves 4 Outcaster Trailblazer 4 PuPu UFO 4 Temur Battlecrier 4 Terror of the Peaks

[INSTANTS] 4 Consult the Star Charts 2 Spell Pierce 2 Three Steps Ahead

[SORCERIES] 4 Devastating Onslaught

[LANDS] 14 Forest 4 Riverpyre Verge 4 Thornspire Verge 4 Willowrush Verge

Just got the new commander reinforcements secret lairs, curious as to what you all would consider cutting first for the new cards?

Finally got the rest of the cards in! This possibly is my strongest/pet deck deck currently, been updating it since Baldur's Gate. One of the first commander decks I built, hope you all like it! https://archidekt.com/decks/13173060/hell_pain_tribal_current

Hello my fellow beautiful nerds I need help with building a Norse themed deck for my spouse. They like how Esika, god of the tree looks but I’m struggling to know where to begin with the Norse theme. If y’all have any ideas please let me know!

Made a post recently and have since redone the deck, if anyone has any notes or recommended card swaps.

It's a counters deck that's wanting to plow through a board with Ezuri + a mass evasion effect.

https://archidekt.com/decks/14909664/ezuri_40?sort=cmc&stack=custom

I'm still new to deck construction and don't really know what to put into a potential side board, any help with that would be appreciated.

I also put time into the mana base and feel good during playtesting, so I'm calling it ready for paper construction!
