This is a starter list that I am handing out to prospective players who want to mess around with their first full sixty (60)-card deck. I created these out of a glut of repeat copies that I got from buying collections. (Looks like someone was harvesting Lost Caverns Commander decks!)

Fifty-eight (58) of the cards are set in stone. The two final cards in the deck are from a random pool, with one being only rares.

Initial build — July 25, 2025
Edit

I created a sort of assembly line, then operated this assembly line. The result is twenty-five (25) "starter decks" packed to the brim with starter material.

I have twenty-five (25) of this version. I will make a new list for each version, so that I can easily keep track of the different lists without needing to flip through again.

One option I will explore is simply continuing with the same cards, but throwing in more bonus cards for the other ones. It might help to keep some continuity.

Cards that ran out:

Three junk creatures that I used as filler (and classic "obvious cut" slots that can encourage creativity, making room for the new player), which are easily replaced even with random junk. I just happened to have twenty-five (25) copies of each of these (presumably from decks that the previous owner of this collection harvested), and I could even just wait around for something else to come along. Or, I can slot in cards like Prophetic Prism which can help to smooth out the deck. In any case, I have to pick a new front card so that it is easy for me to tell which version is which.

These logs will primarily be about who I gave decks to, I suppose?
