Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on Sept. 3, 2019, 7:16 p.m. by xxxCYKOxxx
I'm wanting to build a RWU Trump deck full of walls and removal spells. Since I haven't had played in so long, I'm new to Commander format and need suggestions for a Commander for the deck. Help me please!!!!!

Not a troll post promise. I played in high school in the late 90s. Now that I have a better paying job, I decided to get back in the game.

My favorite Jeskai (name of red, white, blue) commander is Narset, Enlightened Master . She makes a better extra turns/combat commander but is still a respectable pillow fort option with Ghostly Prison , Propaganda , and Smoke type effects.

Commander tends to be very casual and is heavily playgroup-dependent. To that end, I would heavily recommend against making a politics-inspired deck as your introduction to the format. Not only does Magic make a fairly poor forum for political discourse, you run the risk of alienating or upsetting other players in such a casual environment.
More importantly, I’m not sure RUW is a great colour combo for what you want. Green gives you access to too many nifty cards, like Arcades, the Strategist and Assault Formation .
All that said, you’re of course free to build whatever you want. There are some preliminary matters it might be helpful to address before people can give more advise though. Specifically:
- What are your budget constraints?
- What is the power level of your playgroup?
- What decks does your playgroup tend to run?
Commander is such a variable format that it’s pretty difficult to just pop out advise.
One thing to look into, building a pillowfort. Cards like Ghostly Prison and Propaganda will slow down your opponents in combat, and can greatly hamper many casual playgroups. For a more competitive environment, you can go Stax - cards that slow down casting of spells, like Winter Orb and Sphere of Resistance .

You timed things well... they just released the first legendary wall and it's those colors. Pramikon, Sky Rampart
