First decks NEO build

Standard Deck Help forum

Posted on March 31, 2022, 7 p.m. by Ragecody

Hi everyone! I am new to MTG and I have been trying to make two standard decks, using NEO cards exclusively, for kitchen magic based on Tamiyo, Compleated Sage and another deck around The Wandering Emperor. These decks are blue/green with a focus on enchantments, and a red/white Samurai deck, respectively. I think I have a decent start, but I think they could be more focused and I am having a hard time reducing the amount of cards to 60, so I wanted to ask for suggestions as to what to cut. Because I have been so back and forth on how they are built, I have most NEO cards from red/white/blue/green, so if you suggest replacing something, I may have it handy!

Second question is how many non basic lands are good to have in standard decks? I have a number of them, but I imagine having too many will disrupt things as they enter tapped.

Lastly, for Weaver of Harmony, does its ability mean that I can copy things that trigger from the enchantment sagas? For instance, Boseiju Reaches Skyward  Flip, if I can copy that ability, it would mean that I would search for a total of 4 lands from the first phase of the saga?

here are the links to the two decks

The weaver should work just fine with sagas, so yep, I think you are good there. Sagas have lore counters that trigger "chapter abilities" so at level 1 it is the ability of the enchantment that gets you lands.

I'd probably start making cuts with Shrines, Mirror Box, and Invoke the Winds.

The Shrines are a bit awkward outside of a deck that's genuinely about Shrines. Mirror Box is unnecessary in a deck that doesn't even play any four-of legends. Invoke the Winds is powerful, but it seems very hard to cast in a deck with only 14 blue sources.
