Hi everyone. On YouTube have been released all the five decks. You can find them on these channels: Command Zone, Commander's quarters, mtg goldfish, Jumbo Commander and Starcity games. What are your opinions on the decks? Which One(s) are you looking to buy?
Personally i think they tried to make more peculiar and synergic decks than the last two years and they are probably fun to play, especially against each other (like Always they are basically made to be played like that). However, even if i appreciate this intent (especially After what they did with 2018 and 2019 editions), i don' t find intresting anyone of them because of my personal tastes in terms of playstyle. Timeless wisdom Is the only One i would eventually buy If i had to pick among them.

Thats funny those are the first two decks I would buy (if i hadn't preordered all 5) And those two are second on my list to build around!
The human deck looks pretty solid and I'm going to give Jirina Kudro a fair shake but she just seems underwhelming as a face commander. Which is why the deck will likely shift to Trynn and Silvar and become more focused as an aristocrats type build.
All in all I think all the decks have some very exciting elements and look like they'll be fun to play out of the box (unlike the flashback deck last year, that was brutal). That being said I don't find the face commanders to be anywhere near as interesting as some of the secondary or partner commanders for most of them.

The decks look great, even if people are complaining about the mana bases (yet again...). They're miles better than the previous two releases and none of the new legends are overpowered. THey're just...fun designs all around.

I'm 3000% getting the Otrimi deck. Because Hydra Commander.

I preordered all 5, but am most excited to play with the sultai deck. I want to build a mutate deck and I love the partners in that deck the most

None of the decks especially stood out for me. I suppose I'll buy one or two eventually. I'm still more excited about the C18 and Brawl precons.

I might get the Jeskai deck but will more than likely just save money and build something new that nobody else is playing at my locals like I did last year ;)

I kind of want to do a bit of deck alchemy and smash the Temur and Sultai ones together to make a Mutate-themed goodstuff deck with Illuna, Apex of Wishes running the show. Thoughts?

Jirina Kudro is better in the 99 of a deck led by Trynn, Champion of Freedom and Silvar, Devourer of the Free - she adds up how my times you have cast both your commandeers and does not care if she is said commander.
Personally, I want a few cards out of those, so I am probably ordering some singles.

I agree Trynn and Silvar are probably the better commanders to build around. The aristocrats theme is well supported at this point in Mardu and tweaking it to be Human tribal as well won't be hard.
Out of the box though? There are a few aristocrat type payoffs but the real focus of the deck is swarm and swing, in which case a +2/+0 buff to all your creatures might be more beneficial than a conditional 1/1 at the end of each turn.
I will definitely try both before taking it apart and building something new because they are both good for the deck as it is.

Pre-Ordered Timeless Wisdom because I already have a bunch of Cycling cards and the Fierce Guardianship + Arcane Signet are too good to miss out on :D
Fingers crossed that I can be back in the LGS later this year to give it a whirl...

I like the decks! Though the reprint value is still fairly low, at least they seem like functioning decks that can stand on their own, and run quite smoothly with some simple upgrades. Personally, I'll probably get Ruthless Regiment, and maybe Symbiotic Swarm as well... Looks like they'll be reasonably fun. Eager to try to make Trynn, Champion of Freedom and Silvar, Devourer of the Free work as a deck!
