Looking for a 10th deck.
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on March 22, 2018, 9:42 p.m. by DrukenReaps
So I've got 9 decks, well 8 and 1 that I'm just waiting for the commander to be released now. I would like to make another because I can... Honestly there really isn't any logical reason for 10 I just like the number :P
What I have so far:
Divine Decree- My favorite deck it tends towards bleeding the table's life totals while stopping attacks with pillows.
The Druken Enraged- I have a fondness for Stuffy Doll and this is really just a deck based around stuffy doll type effects.
Marchesa's Demonic Toolbox- my tribal deck. It also has this weird semi-focus on ETBs/LTBs. Needs some work but can be quite powerful at times.
Mimeoplasm Just Millin' Around- pretty simple mill deck with a commander that can one shot undefended people. It has proven to be one of my stronger decks despite me not putting much effort into it...
Walker Engine- Planeswalker deck which I am slowly changing to be more focused on making lots and lots of tokens.
Should I Pretend This Or That?- Mairsil deck that does Mairsil things... Honestly it is such a weird deck and so much fun.
They Awaken- My first EDH deck really just artifact good stuff with a bunch of combos that catch me off guard half the time.
Glissa's Tech- absolute favorite color combination married into my favorite permanent type, artifacts. Wins via voltron.
The Fire Of Life- my first real attempt at a spellslinger deck and the one that isn't actually built as of yet out of these. Should be a blast though.
I don't have a mono-black deck which is my favorite color and I don't have a jund deck which is my favorite 3-color combination. I don't like stax which is why I stopped playing Hapatra Mistress of Poisons despite great success with the deck. Anything too oppressive or controlling just makes me feel bad....
I would rather avoid duplicating any strategy I already have, that just defeats the purpose of multiple decks. So tokens, voltron, spellslinger, mill, superfriends, group-slug are all off the list unless you got something really bizarre. I'm a huge fan of weird stuff. I don't really like goodstuff decks I prefer the deck to have some focus to it. I really like combo but I'll settle for some wicked synergies. I think that about covers it.
If you know of a strategy I haven't got covered or a really neat commander I'm not using I'm all ears.
I second Mikaeus, he is WOMBO COMBO. That being said, you should also look into Xiahou Dun the One Eyed The Descent Into Darkness. He is recursion, and unblackable, very good utility.
Regardless of your commander. Mono black is ALWAYS FUN! Card draw, creature wipes and OMNI TUTORS (so powerful in EDH). That being said you will need artifacts like Nev Disk, O-Stone and such to deal with artifacts and enchantments, black's achilles heel.
Being mono black, you get coffers, urborg shenanigans have MUCH more flexibility with your mana base (even more so with urborg)

Toshiro Umezawa maybe? Kill kill kill then kill again to kill again and again...

An odd suggestion but Mistform Ultimus tribal. A monoblue deck with a wincon of commander damage.

I have a fully built Edgar Markov deck if you have interest, would save you building something yourself. I'd be willing to sell it (paypal, tcgmid) or do trade value. If you're interested just let me know and I'll list it up.

Animar, Soul of Elements... get em while he's cheap(ish). He can be built to pretty much any power level, supports combo, aggro, tribal, or whatever, and is a blast to pilot. That and he always gets new toys... always.
Animar, Angry Hemorrhoid is my list. It's pretty optimized as a deck that can win via combo or aggro (usually a combination of both).

I was hoping for a few more thoughts, Ah well the suggestions you peeps have made all look interesting. I'll take some time to look through them. Thanks :)

DrukenReaps to be fair, you took a lot off the table... :) Check out my buddy's King Macar / vehicles deck - mono-black, artifacts, combo. He has a blast with it.

DerektheRed true I did take a lot off the table but I'm always looking for different stuff.
I think I have my next deck narrowed down to the following:
Gonti, Lord of Luxury- I don't even know what to do with this guy yet but he looks silly.
Mikaeus, the Unhallowed- I decided to retire my demon tribal which frees up my copy of him. Having all my stuff return over and over is fun.
Balthor the Defiled- black group hug! I can't hardly think of anything stranger than that.
King Macar, the Gold-Cursed- Certainly an interesting thing to toy with. Removal and accel makes a very strong case. Especially nice since he zaps gods and a friend just made a god tribal that has been gaining steam as he works out the kinks in it.

So this wasn't even part of the plan but due to recently deciding to retire demon tribal in favor of atog tribal I'm going to build Liliana, Heretical Healer Flip. Thanks for all the suggestions it really was helpful!

Balthor is actually a really fun commander. Macar seems like he would be fun. Too bad there isnt a way to get Freed from the Real onto him. I suppose Jandor's Saddlebags might be fun with him though.

Animar, Soul of Combos - Turn 3 Win - Seriously tuned creature-based combo deck that can hold it's own long game.

If you like black and combo, then something like this might be up your alley.
Unhallowed Be Thy Name
Commander / EDH* Azdranax
