Commander Deck Help forum

me and some friends are getting into commander and we will all be new to edh. Ive also played magic longer than most of them as well. i want to build a deck that i could play casualy with my friends but also can be upgraded easily to be playable at my lgs so i dont get blown out every game and can have fun with the deck. Im trying to keep the budget for these decks around 30-40$ plus cards i own to start. since my friends will probably be playing precons upgraded slightly with there cards and any cards i have available for them to borrow.

So here are the lists for the 4 decks. They are not really good and still need to be refined once i pick one but they give a general idea of the deck.

The first one house markov is just the vampire precon upgraded with some stuff i have. I like how it lets me play vampire tribal and can be built for aristocrat strategys as well. Its also cool that i can play a vampire tribal deck with sorin lord of innistrad. Also ixalan is going to have white vampires and if there any good i could pick them up for the deck.

Another one is drana monoblack. Drana is one of my favorite cards in mtg. She has cool art, a good ability, and i have a foil already. Ihaent played much control before but its something ive been wanting to play and i like mono black. Also since its monocolor i wont have to worry to much about the mana base besides trading for a cabal coffers.

I also have a drana vampires list dranas vampire coven. This one is a more vampire tribal focused list for drana. New drana and anowon can work as alternate commanders as well. My main problem with this deck is i might be better off buying the vampire precon and then buying the rest of the cards later when i want to make a different deck.

My final deck idea is teysas aristocrats. Teysa has cool art but i could never afford a foil LOL. she also works really well for combos with tokens. An aristocrat type of deck also seems fun to play as well. Actually one of my first decks in mtg was a kitchen table human sacrifice deck that i liked. Well that and my vampire deck. Also orzhov is my favorite color pair.

im not sure wich one i like better. which one do you think would work best just kind of curious what everyone elses thoughts are.

Drana voltron is really strong. She comes with powerful removal and easily one shots people with commander damage. Black is a good color too with all the silly things like Crypt Ghast, Nirkana Revenant, and Magus of the Coffers.

If you want vampire tribal go with the new precon. It is strong and gives you access to all vampire colors. You won't regret not having red or white later because a cool new vamp came out that you love in the wrong color.

Personally I like the Teysa deck, but I'm a sucker for Orzhov too. I think tokens are fun and her mechanics allow for a lot of options.
