Philosophy

I enjoy all aspects of Magic, but I am definitely a Johnny first and a Spike last. I certainly play to win, but will do so with a deck that meets all of my own, at times nonsensical, criteria. Each deck I create follows a pretty familiar pattern for its creation.

The numbers below are not fixed, but are my starting point when I begin brewing. You will notice in my skeleton it has a hard requirement for "Tribal". Well this is my inner Vorthos coming out to play, and admittedly hamstrings decks in tribes with poor support and card pool. If this is not of interest to you, then I recommend shifting the "Tribal Amplifiers" into "Card Advantage", "Mana Acceleration", "Interaction" and "Commander Amplifiers", and then simply removing the "Tribal" from "Tribal Standalone Threats".

Card Count:

• 37 Land
• 8 Mana Acceleration (Ramp, Rocks, Dorks)
• 8 Card Advantage (Draw, Tutors, Recursion)
• 8 Interaction (Removal, Disruption, Boardwipes)
• 8 Commander Enablers
• 8 Commander Amplifiers
• 12 Tribal Standalone Threats
• 4 Tribal Amplifiers
• 7 Win Conditions

As checksums each deck should have the following:

• 25 Standalone Threats
• 20 Tribal Creatures
