Vote for the Random Combo Deck Build-Off Winner!
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on May 23, 2021, 11:50 p.m. by Hardhitta7
I put together a build-off with the help of some other members of TappedOut. We each got a randomly generated combo and built an EDH deck around it. We had a budget of $500.
So if you entered post your deck in the comments. If you didn’t enter please don’t post a deck now. Don’t worry I’ll have another build-off soon.
Anyone can vote! To vote simply like the comment of the decks you like the most, you can vote for multiple decks.
The deck with the most likes by 11:00pm Central Time (that would be 9:00pm Pacific) 5/27/2021 will be declared the winner the next day.
There are no prizes, this was just for fun and to improve deck building prowess.
Good luck to all the participants!
Congratulations to legendofa, Omniscience_is_life, and MagicMarc! They are the winners in a three way tie!

Make sure to upvote decks instead of posts because only the deck upvotes will be counted.

We are going by the likes on comments, not upvotes on the deck.

So when times up Thursday should I just announce the winner in here or make a new thread?
My new LGS is having a big event Friday so I’ll either have to announce the winner Thursday night or Friday morning, which is preferable?

Hardhitta7 Would it be legal/fair to deck cycle my entry?
May 26, 2021 12:50 p.m.
Hardhitta7 says... #19
Sure, we aren’t going by upvotes so it shouldn’t matter.
That’s the main reason I didn’t go by upvotes cause some people have more cycles or have feature tokens.

Currently we have a 3 way tie. How do y’all think we should determine the winner?

Hardhitta7 says... #22
Idk how to handle that lol you mean like webcam commander?
I guess they could if they wanted too. I don’t think most people have the set up though.

Hardhitta7 says... #24
I have no idea. I don’t even have a computer lol I just play paper magic.

Or we all recast the votes on just the three decks. Repost them and then tally it up again?
May 27, 2021 7:56 p.m.
Hardhitta7 says... #27
Hmm I think recasting the votes would be a good idea but it will just be the people who commented that get notified of the new comments.
legendofa, Omniscience_is_life, MagicMark what do y’all think? You are the ones tied with the most votes at 6 a piece.
May 27, 2021 8:12 p.m.
I'm up for anything. Reposting the decks would be the easiest, but it might end in another tie. A three-way match would be fun, but the logistics are the most difficult. I vote for a 24-hour build, but I'll go along with whatever.
May 27, 2021 9:03 p.m.
Hardhitta7 says... #29
What if we just reposted the decks in this thread and all voted on only one deck each. (So everyone doesn’t just like all three)
Of course I have no way to enforce one vote per person.
I agree a Commander game would be fun but would be almost impossible to set up.

Oops MagicMarc, typo’d your name. How’s this sound to you?

Hardhitta7 says... #31
legendofa, Omniscience_is_life, MagicMarc post a new comment here with your deck.
Everyone vote, but only vote for 1 Deck please! Your favorite one. I’ll let this run till I get back from my LGS tomorrow night.

I'm a little skeptical this is the way to do a tiebreaker. It was a good experiment, but so far only one vote has been cast, and it was from Omniscience_is_life for my comment. I'm not sure MagicMarc has seen this...
If I force the issue by upvoting Omniscience_is_life's comment, which I really want to do, would we be co-winners? (I'm totally good with mutual victory, but it kind of defeats the point of a tiebreaker, especially when only the entrants are voting.)

Hardhitta7 says... #35
Yeah I don’t think it’s working. Lol
I was waiting to cast my vote until Marc posted his deck but I guess I can go ahead a vote.
It’s not really fair to Marc either.

Three way tie it shall be! :D
In the spirit of jolly co-operation!

Hardhitta7 says... #37
Okay, we will just three-way tie it because I can’t find a fair way to do a tie breaker.
Congratulations to legendofa, MagicMarc, and Omniscience_is_life! You three have my respect, deck building is my absolute favorite part of Magic, it’s also one of the harder parts of Magic. Always be looking to increase your skill and card pool knowledge!
Thank you to everyone who participated, this was very fun! I will be doing another build-off in the future, probably in a different format. (Y’all like Pioneer or Modern more?) and hopefully by then we will come up with a way to deal with future ties!
May 28, 2021 12:13 p.m.
Apologies, I have been putting in a gratuitous amount of overtime this week and missed coming back here to see this,
I am happy with a three way tie, I like the other decks and their builders are people I like and respect.
May 28, 2021 12:23 p.m.
Hardhitta7 says... #39
No problem, this is my first time doing this and I didn’t consider a tie! Especially a 3 way one.
I’ll come up with something in case it happens in the next one!
May 28, 2021 12:33 p.m.
Omniscience_is_life says... #40
Great idea Hardhitta7! Excited for the next one :)

Hardhitta7 says... #41
If I did a different format one, which format would y’all be interested in? Or should it just be edh? Idk how popular the others are on TappedOut atm.
I’m most familiar with Pioneer and Modern.
Of course it probably wouldn’t be based on combos as there aren’t nearly as many combos.
May 28, 2021 1:37 p.m.
I always enjoy working on a budget, so any format with a stringent budget could be fun!
Maybe like no cards over $1, or build off a random bulk rare?
We did a $50 Modern Tournament at my LGM, it was pretty fun! Could see doing that for other formats!
May 28, 2021 1:40 p.m.
I'm more experienced with Modern (as in, I've never built a Pioneer deck), so I'd like to try Pioneer and see what happens.
May 28, 2021 1:41 p.m.
I'll pass on anything not commander. I haven't touched any other format in a long time.
Also, congrats to the winners.
May 28, 2021 1:45 p.m.
Hardhitta7 says... #45
What about a Pioneer or Modern challenge where you can’t use any of the top 50 most popular cards in the format? Mtggoldfish has a function where you can view most popular cards in various formats.
Or should we stick with something randomized?
May 28, 2021 3:06 p.m.
Hardhitta7 says... #46
1empyrean I’ll definitely do another edh one but I wanna do a different format first. Had some people ask about that.
It probably won’t be as popular, I’m pretty sure edh is the most popular format on TappedOut and in general.
May 28, 2021 3:08 p.m.
I'd be up for most things, primarily interested in EDH and modern.
