Thanks for the upvote mate! I'm going to check out some of your decks too~

We seem to have a similar passion for deckbuilding, constantly improving on existing decks and great art. Where we differ is I have embraced the new art and the commander format.
I am most proud of my Lurrus deck for having selected art and flavor text that tells a story and keeping a palette that matches my commander. I like having a theme song and a story for my decks and have started integrating these in my pages.
I also dabble in CSS, but you obviously have skills I don't.
I wish I could show you the fun my friends and I are having in Commander and reconcile you with the format.
Sending you a friend request. :)

I love the concept at work here. I do wonder if more tinkering is necessary; it seems firmly in glass cannon territory. Although I’m not sure how to fortify or streamline it, if it’s even possible. If there were an artifact creature that could fulfill the role of finisher, I’d say lean into Transmute or a similar effect so as to pull Eon Hub and/or said creature, but to implement that now would probably alter the deck so much it would be u recognizable. Perhaps what’s already here is the optimal path after all.

Hey I wanted to post this here because I don’t like plugging my own decks in this manner, but if you check out my Many Blessed Returns you’ll see what I mean. It’s not a selectable hub, per se, but “counters” is one of the autosuggested tags you can attach to a deck if it meets certain card criteria.

I’m not positive, but I think there is already a counter tag that can be attached to a deck. It seems more generalized, and would cover +1/+1 counters, temporary counters, minus counters and so forth.

Thanks NonetheWeisser. To be honest, I originally built this for Standard, and since it rotated out I haven’t even looked at it again. It would need a pretty major overhaul for today’s post-MH3 Modern, and might end up not even resembling what’s currently here. It’s playable in the sense it’s legal and it technically functions, but to bring it up to speed is a daunting task indeed.

I realize I’m quite late but I second keeping Thud. The damage potential is significantly higher.

Thanks Craeter, I find I have a much more enjoyable time building in Pauper than any other format. Modern is my go-to for playing actual games, but there’s just something about trying to squeeze every last drop out of such a limited card pool that keeps me coming back to Pauper.

I haven’t personally put together a cube on this site, but if it’s anything like selecting cards during the normal deckbuilding process you would type the name of the card in and select which variant you want to add. I just tried it with Very Cryptic Command and noticed it listed different options (Very Cryptic Command A, B, C etc)

This is neat. I want to see a companion deck specifically designed for one on one play against this. You could call it Doorstop

I like what you’re going for, but this isn’t Standard legal. Looks like Vintage or Legacy are your only officially recognized options, unless you manage to substitute a few cards. Maybe something could be approximated for Modern.

No problem Craeter. I grew up on the Redwall series myself, so couldn’t resist taking a look at your featured deck. I don’t play EDH so I have no idea how good it performs, but I love the theme.
