legendofa on BBEG Deck Ideas

For my breakdown here, I'm focusing on characters who are villains in their story arc and characters who don't have much specific backstory. Pretty much any legendary creature can be flavored as a villain in front of the right deck. I'm also not focusing on the Forgotten Realms sets, I'm broadening the net.

What's available:

: Eldrazi or artifacts. Most of the artifacts are either hero-aligned or not an independent threat, like Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut. If you want a challenge, Omarthis, Ghostfire Initiate, but I wouldn't, just for lack of depth.

: Villains are oddly centered on Old Kamigawa. Konda, Lord of Eiganjo is a near-immortal emperor and master duelist. Hokori, Dust Drinker is destroying resources and the land. And, of course, there's the apocalyptic, unrelenting evil that is Hazduhr the Abbot.

: Heidar, Rimewind Master is an elementalist fanatic. The manipulations of Orvar, the All-Form or Kami of the Crescent Moon could cause problems, as could a big sea creature like Tromokratis or Charix, the Raging Isle.

: Pretty much everyone. It's easier to count the people who aren't outright villains.

: Relatively few actual villains, but a bunch of manipulators, dragons, and angry people that could fill the role.

: A bunch of wild animals and nature types. No scheming villains, but a good selection of rampaging monsters. Meng Huo, Barbarian King would be a unique choice (if you're willing to.proxy or drop $150+).

: Polukranos Reborn  Flip is the most (only?) villainous character in these colors.

: Lots of options, from the behind-the-scenes manipulation of Lazav, Dimir Mastermind to the illithid Captain N'ghathrod, Gisa and Geralf's necromancer army, whatever Umbris, Fear Manifest is, and a lot more.

: A few options, but lots of depth in them. Insane biologist Momir Vig, Simic Visionary and his magnum opus Experiment Kraj, nature's avenger Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, or maybe Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait is flooding the area.

: A very deep and wide pool for villains. Vampires, demons, dragons, demon dragons, warlords, torturers...

: Grakmaw, Skyclave Ravager joins the ranks of the big scary monsters. A more calculating BBEG would probably be one of the death lords like Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. Vhati il-Dal or Old Rutstein or probably more storyline villains than BBEG material.

: A very shallow pool. Storvald, Frost Giant Jarl, Rubinia Soulsinger, and maybe Falco Spara, Pactweaver or Katilda and Lier (mostly because of Lier) are the best options for an Archenemy villain. I'd throw Kros, Defense Contractor in, but goading is kind of limited when you're the Archenemy.

: This color set will probably be either a cold, distant, merciless villain or a manipulative puppet master. Raffine, Scheming Seer and Oloro, Ageless Ascetic fall into the first category, and Sen Triplets and The Ever-Changing 'Dane in the second. Varina, Lich Queen is another option for a zombie army.

: Big, angry, and violent, with some good dragons. Xira, the Golden Sting and Vazi, Keen Negotiator break out of this mold, but they strike me as more lieutenant-types, not arc villains by themselves.

: Not much; these tend to be either heroic or big smashy monsters. Uril, the Miststalker could work.

: Queen Marchesa is a classic, as you mentioned, and Edgar Markov is right there, too. Actually, this color set has some good depth and variety for an Archenemy. Some are more overtly villainous, and some are just very martial. My top picks would be Edgar, Licia, Sanguine Tribune, or Tariel, Reckoner of Souls.

: Mostly either weird esotericism or "nature's avenger" types. I don't think any of these are outright villainous in-story, but most of them have loose or vague stories. With the right deck, this could be a unique and interesting villain. Riku of Two Reflections is my top pick.

Four-color sets in general: Any of them would work, except for a couple of the .

: Use this color set if you want a truly apocalyptic feel. saluma mentioned Tiamat, which is a very good choice, and finding a way to get through Progenitus or O-Kagachi, Vengeful Kami is a story of epic scale.

Love a good snow deck! For more tappy shenanigans, you might consider Rimewind Taskmage. Another fun one is Heidar, Rimewind Master to boop threats (any permanent!) to your opponent's hand. Combos well with the taskmage! And to make any of your non-snow perms snow type to untap with Jorn, I like Rimefeather Owl. Plus, it's a giant flier. It's been a finisher for me in my snow deck.

Coward_Token, As it weird as it sounds, I gotta admit that sounds like a cool deck idea! This link gives you a good start for what can be used to return things to your hand, and it makes me think if it's better to use Sisay, Weatherlight Captain to get Heidar, Rimewind Master, to use Zur the Enchanter to get Words of Wind/Riptide Chimera, or Isperia the Inscrutable to grab Riptide Chimera/Shimmerwing Chimera/Tidespout Tyrant.

DrukenReaps on The Ice Queen

Your saying that Golos is very safe and that he is a huge target at your table. I feel like those are opposites... To me he seems exactly like a high risk high reward.

Some other potential options for you:

Heidar, Rimewind Master - This is neither high risk nor high reward but it is very snowy.

Chulane, Teller of Tales - I never would have thought of this but he actually seems like he would be pretty solid if you look at this page

The theme looks pretty neat but there doesn't seem to be a lot of support which makes me sad. There is a page for it in the Themes section of EDHrec. Maybe that will help? I saw K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth on that page but didn't see a lot of snow on the page for him...

Heidar, Rimewind Master is what you are looking for. Don't worry about bouncing your opponent's threats and countering them. Go for broke: Cast Stasis , then on the end-step before your turn, bounce it. Untap and recast it for the lock. Winter Orb and Static Orb also work!

What else to bounce? Perplexing Chimera can be a beast. Use Heidar in response to Mulldrifter 's sacrifice clause and bam! Two extra cards a turn. Solemn Simulacrum works with it too!

Abuse these cards with other copies like Tradewind Riders or with Aphetto Alchemist effects for more value! Magewright's Stone , Thousand-Year Elixir , Rings of Brighthearth , Illusionist's Bracers , Pemmin's Aura , Freed from the Reel, etc.!

Sure! How about a set of partners -- Virtus the Veiled / Gorm the Great ? I've got my own idea but it mostly revolves around combat tricks, guessing that'd be the same on such a hard budget but interested to see what you build!

I'll spare you the agony of trying to make anything out of Heidar, Rimewind Master
