"Quest" Decks
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on March 1, 2021, 8:48 p.m. by Kjellma
I am making two decks of a similar style, they "give quests" in the way that they will allow people rewards for finishing the "quest."
One had Karona, False God as the commander and focuses on Grothama, All-Devouring style ideas that either give rewards or make people want to kill the creature for some reason. Pursued Whale is another creature I am using to achieve this idea. This deck is more of a joke, hug, or fun deck style.
The second uses
Saskia the Unyielding
and
Mathas, Fiend Seeker
to be a more aggressive style of these quests. I am already finding curses to make other players fight.
What I need is more creatures that use something like Grothama, All-Devouring to either give rewards or make others fight to give rewards.
I am not sure if I want to use a lot of goad in the first deck, but I am willing to use it in the more aggro deck if there are enough good creatures to make it even more worth the others fighting each other to achieve these "quests."
Any help would be appreciated.
I had not found those yet. Thanks for the help, they are cheap and can be used as "quest rewards." Thanks for the suggestion.

In a similar vein to the hunted cycle, there's also Varchild's War-Riders which can continually be used to give oppoenents tokens.
Witherscale Wurm is an interesting card here as well with the mechanic to give your oppoenents' creatures wither.
Marisi, Breaker of the Coil
and
Goblin Diplomats
are good if you did want to use goad.
Assault Suit might make for an interesting card here.
Yurlok of Scorch Thrash is also decent as they can ramp each oppoenent but at a cost. Selvala, Explorer Returned (and even Selvala, Heart of the Wilds ) are in a more group huggish vein but could be decent.

Cards that pass around to other players generate a lot of fun too. I have a few in my Haunted House! deck... but one I still need to find a place for in there is the ol’ monkey’s paw Wishclaw Talisman . I love your ideas here!!

Along the same lines as Pursued Whale , the "Hunted" cycle could do you well--link here> https://scryfall.com/search?q=hunted+type%3Acreature+-set%3AGRN+-set%3AAVR+-set%3ABBD+-set%3A10E+-set%3A9ED+-set%3A8ED+-set%3AMMQ+-set%3APSAL&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name
