WItC on Budget Beginner Teach Decks (#1 …
2 days ago
major revision 2025. I replaced the Force of Nature with Ghalta, Primal Hunger. The pay mana at upkeep mechanic is awkward for a new player, and the simple Ghalta ability plays into the general theme for this green deck. Most importantly, this will really connect with the inner "Timmy" in new players and maybe help get them interested in the hopes they can do the big, flashy thing.

There's six copies of Fireblast and five Mine Collapses between main board and sideboard here. Maybe switch the extras out for more Goblins--something like Reckless Lackey or Fanatical Firebrand?

MaliciousMayhem Yes, Spectral Lynx has a color identity of black and white, so it cannot be legally ruin with a monowhite commander!

I love the premise, but I think your land count is too low. Yes, you’ll be playing cheap spells or cycling for 1 most of the time but 16 isn’t quite enough to guarantee the power to do so. Dropping some of the creatures down to 3x copies could let you bring the lands to about 18-19 or so.

I won't be changing the helm, unless to another Ob, as I want this to remain a nixilis deck. His story is one of my favorites so I want to showcase as much as I can in the deck, whilst keeping it functional.
I've considered varragoth before and I think he's just not good enough unless he's at the helm. He's basically a 5 mana vampiric tutor that has suspend 2, except he can be removed. Even getting 2 effects off over 3 turns is 7 mana tutor two. For that effect I'll take profane tutor.
Speed demon is interesting and a nice bloodgift demon alternative. And you don't need to wait for upkeep. I might make a swap.

I saw your list and thought I would suggest a couple of ideas.
Since you're running fetch lands you could consider running some number of Godless Shrine and a long side of it, Silent Clearing. My reason is that you can then substitute Damnation with Damn, it's far better than Damnation due to it being both spot removal and a board-wipe when needed. Silent Clearing will also give you additional card draw in the late game and since you run fetch lands you could consider Fatal Push since you will have a decent number of opportunities to have revolt.
Another card you might want to consider is Withering Torment. It costs one more than Feed the Swarm, but is an instant and only costs you two life points. If you do consider my idea of running dual lands you could even go with Vindicate as an option. It would effectively fill the role of Feed the Swarm and Fulminator Mage at the same time, the only downside is that you can't recur it like Fulminator Mage. Another option would be Anguished Unmaking in place of Feed the Swarm. It would deal with every problematic non-land permanent and could potentially cost you less life than Feed the Swarm would.
I would also suggest looking at adding cards like Hopeless Nightmare, The Meathook Massacre and Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet. Hopeless nightmare will still give you control over your opponent's hand and will add to your devotion count. In the late game it can be sacrificed to scry away needless cards. If you play both The Meathook Massacre and Kalitas you end up having a very strong combo. You can clear the board with Kalitas in play and gain some life while creating zombie tokens.
If you wanted some additional ideas you can take a look at my list on my profile.

FormOverFunction thanks for popping in- yeah, Nin was a consideration but having her hit the field and be static until I could use here ability- even if it does scale- made her a big target. I opted for The Emperor of Palamecia Flip with my most recent iteration. Don't forget to leave an upvote if you enjoy the list, make a recommendation- light a nearby peasant aflame.. whatever strikes your fancy. Cheers!

lil_cheez Thanks for the input I really appreciate it. This was originally going to be a 60 card deck but I had too many cards I wanted to use together and well I just had to go the Commander route. Lol! I know which cards I'm sacking right away and some of the ones you suggested I'm going to add right now. Thanks again!

Greetings friend, we've got a fine start here, I have some inputs but I'm not an equipment expert.
There are some cards that you can't legally run in this deck: Judge's Familiar, Vault of the Archangel and Age-Graced Chapel Flip. In commander there's a thing called "Color identity", that is, cards in your deck can't have colors or mana symbols that are not on your commander.
You'd like to up the land count do 36, maybe 37; try and shove in more or less, 10 cards each that ramp mana, remove problematic stuff from your opponnents, and draw you cards.
Ramp suggestions: Sol Ring, Sword of the Animist, Gold Myr, Jhoira's Familiar.
Draw: Rogue's Gloves, Mask of Memory.
Removal: Generous Gift, Argentum Armor.
Cut cards that don't escalate very well in multiplayer. Champion of the Parish for example may be a beast in a 60-card, 4-copies each deck, but here he would be just a body.
I hope this helps for now, good luck adjusting the deck and have fun!!

I'll be smoking some of that tree while you make decisions.
Was just being bold and trying to get you to think differently. Yawgmoth's Will is timeless and quintessential.
I will always have a soft spot for Nekusar and the other OG commanders. Your build is a good blend of old & new.

Forced to add more comments before am able to upload the decklist. This is a dumb feature that I do not like, nor have need for.
Put +1/+1 counters on creatures and turn them sideways at your opponents until, hopefully, their hp reaches 0 before yours does.

Icbrgr you should definitely give pauper some brew time! My head is swimming with ideas seriously. And just look at how well spread out the meta is! It seems very healthy. Very old school magic feel too with the simpler card effects. But access to Counterspell, Lightning Bolt and friggin Dark Ritual! Lmao. Also I shall take your suggestion for more interaction into consideration! Thanks!

All really solid recommendations SufferFromEDHD, I'll shake the base of the tree and see what falls off.
Ahead of the curve though, Emet-Selch, Unsundered Flip and Emet-Selch of the Third Seat are both here in the stead of Lier, but Lier does reinforce the playability of my entire deck. I like this. Lemme see if it benefits me to change it in such a way, because this might just influence how I build Vivi Ornitier as their own commander instead.

Lier, Disciple of the Drowned > Yawgmoths Will (getting wild upon Andramalech request)
Dark Confidant looove this card in EDH but consider adding Sensei's Divining Top and/or Witch's Clinic to offset the serious life loss. Urza's Saga could grab it along with a playset of your other fancy jewels.

Mortlocke on Atraxa, infectious scream (Need help)

Sorry to spam your page, but just to clarify, all of the aforementioned pump spells only synergize with creatures that have infect. For creatures sporting the neutered Toxic mechanic, i'd highly recommend going the +1/+1 route primarily as it does help both creatures with Toxic and Infect - but splash in some of the really good explosive stuff like Hatred. You can literally hate out an opponent at random. Not to mention it has great synergy with Atraxa as she just gains you all that life back after spending it. No infect? No problem.
Alternatively, if you wanted to go some completely out of left field route, there is a creature in Edge of Eternities that does give all Artifact creatures you control Toxic 2 (technically). BUT this is a leak - so I can't link it or really discuss it at length. The leak does have some credibility is because on Mark Rosewater's Teaser for the set he does say under the "Things to Expect" section "poison card". So if you really desired it, you could go with an Artifact focused poison deck with an equipment like Grafted Exoskeleton.

It's about as fun as having a 'kick each other in the nuts' competition for game night, but I feel like this Commander would benefit from some stuff like Merciless Executioner, Plaguecrafter, and Accursed Marauder. The idea is you just play one of the many variants on the theme (there are many more), sacrificing itself each time, and then get it back to play again next turn. I had to limit myself in my Meren list to only 3 of them (and no Grave Pact enchantments), but depending on your play group it could be a significant inclusion.
Mortlocke on Atraxa, infectious scream (Need help)

I do have some ideas in mind when it comes to closing out a game with Poison counters. But you don't have to make it through a couple times - all it takes is once and it's the beginning of the end. Some traditional combo pieces would be:
And other spells of that ilk. Another synergy are +1/+1 counters. Forgotten Ancient, Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, Ozolith, the Shattered Spire and The Ozolith are real powerhouses if you wish to go that route. This synergy does telegraph your moves more and you'd be less explosive.
But what to do when the table goes against you? I recommend stax. Tying up the resources of the table, forcing slower and less impactful turns on your opponents while the clock continues ticking. Cards like Astral Cornucopia and Everflowing Chalice help break parity as you will likely have access to more mana than your opponents while they're being held back. Some oldies but goldies would be:
- Winter Orb
- Static Orb
- Ensnaring Bridge (This has good synergy well with the aforementioned pump spells as you can still attack with low power infect creatures)
- Tangle Wire (A personal Fave as you can proliferate these counters)
- Parallax Wave (A personal Fave as you can proliferate these counters)
- Parallax Tide (A personal Fave as you can proliferate these counters)
Playing pretty much any of these cards will likely earn you some ire - but the idea is to only play these when you have poison counters on your opponents and you can reliably proliferate them at least once or twice a turn. The idea is that you've already got your opponents where you want them, all you'd need to do is simply wait while the Poison counters end them.

I recommend using Worthy Knight to combo with Elspeth in this deck. Werefox Bodyguard is also a must-have due to it being potentially another form of removal to have access to. I like seeing Get Lost in White decks recently, by the way.
MilesHiles on The Ur-Dragon

41 lands is way too many. You probably don't need 2 of every basic land type but I would recommend some instants. Even just a Teferi's Protection or a Counterspell to keep your board state around for a turn cycle could do wonders for a deck like this.
Balaam__ on Mono White Knights

You could try the old deck thinning Flagstones of Trokair trick. Drop 4x Plains and run the full playset, grabbing the Plains you need (works on Snow-Covered Plains too) and increasing the odds of drawing into something better next. It’s kind of pricey, and that’s all it accomplishes, but it’s one of those little adjustments that can increase performance.

This looks nutty and fun to play
that being said I think Words of Worship, Honor the Fallen, Y'shtola Rhul, Ruin Crab, Swiftfoot Boots could be cut in favor of some more raw lifegain. You already have a ton of protection and counters so I'm not worries about losing boots. I would consider cards like Drogskol Reaver, Rhox Faithmender, Suture Priest, The Wind Crystal, and a few more lands. Maze of Ith doesnt count so you are really only running 33 which is way too lean
overall super cool deck tho
