Hello fellow nerds! Started playing in 2016. Commmander exclusively for me except messing around on Arena (I just can't reconcile spending real money on 4 of the same card. I know, I'm awful).
Each of my decks begin pretty budget, but cards appreciate in value and I get/receive goodie upgrades over the years. I'm trying to make a deck of every color combo. I also strive to have my decks be diverse in mechanics as much as I can, but I'm still a sucker for tokens and aggro. As I grow and mature more and more sorceries and instants make it into my builds:
Mono:
White - Come Out Biting! -
Isamaru, Hound of Konda
enchantment/artifact voltron. Good boi go bite!
Blue - -
Black - - Glad Rags and Body Bags -
Tergrid, God of Fright
Flip sort of a charcuterie board of what black has to offer. A good stax presence without going too overboard with no-fun oppression.
Red - Anarchy Burger -
Torbran, Thane of Red Fell
Red burn. It can work in commander. Who said it couldn't??
Green - Bastards on Parade -
Marwyn, the Nurturer
big 'ol elf ball! Super budget. Turns out elves are a pretty supported tribal. Who would have known? This deck slays for the price 1v1.
2 color:
Azorius - -
Rakdos - Moocifer Rising -
Mogis, God of Slaughter
group slug with demons. This one is just too much fun. Just table-wide murder until you're taken out by angry opponents sick of drains.
Simic - MerMAN, father, mer-MAN! -
Vorel of the Hull Clade
abuses your dear friends with untappery and unstoppable 72/72s. Combos or aggro, can't go wrong!
Orzhov - Love at First Bite -
Karlov of the Ghost Council
life gain, vampires and counters. My first deck and probably my strongest deck. Karl starts up fast and does not screw around.
Dimir -Mermaider -
Sygg, River Cutthroat
mill and unblockable card draw. Some leviathans, a lot of murder.
Izzet - Human Fly -
The Locust God
BEES!?
Gruul - Ubangi Stomp -
Ruric Thar, the Unbowed
all creature (almost) aggro murder. Punish others for casting silly things like "spells."
Selesnya - Karametropolis -
Karametra, God of Harvests
all creature/enchantment psuedo voltron. Just keep drawing cards, dropping low cmc mooks and buffing big swingers.
Golgari - -
Boros - Wipe The Floor With Victory -
Iroas, God of Victory
soldiers, angels and so much aggro.
3 color:
Jund - -
Bant - -
Grixis - Return of the Loving Dead -
Inalla, Archmage Ritualist
recursion, oppressive control and wizard tribal. Kind of have some aggro bent to a wizard tribal here.
Naya - Dig Up Her Bones -
Gishath, Sun's Avatar
dinos. Nothing original here but goddamn do these dinos CHOMP.
Esper - Dead Girls Don't Cry -
Varina, Lich Queen
zombie aggro. Lots of draw and zombie recursion with a heavy Egyptian theme.
Jeskai - -
Mardu - Kill The Poor -
Mathas, Fiend Seeker
curses and trickery based around benefiting from murdering opponents' creatures. Try to stay safe and pull wins from their graveyards or draw into weird win cons.
Sultai - No Need For Any More Snake-Makery -
Damia, Sage of Stone
goodstuffs with plenty of snek for a Vorthos feel. Just draw and answers and plenty of deathtouch.
Abzan - Bugs in the Kitchen and Mold in the Sink -
Ghave, Guru of Spores
token/counter combos with some recursion thrown in. Based on a character from my table-top RPGs, so leaning toward oozes, rot and filth.
Temur - -
4-color
None
5-color
Shrubs -
Sisay, Weatherlight Captain
shrines. All shrines. I have always loved the Kamigawa shrines and now made a deck of them.
Said on Anarchy Burger...
#1X-Factor11105 thank you so much for the suggestions! I'm going to go over them in depth amd make some decisions, but wanted to say I always knew Dwarven Mine wasn't great, it's a holdover from the early, early incubation stage of the deck where I was thinking of going heavy dwarves. Obviously that was ultimately scrapped. I like the play-from-graveyard-double-damage of Injury though. Looking to find a slot for Isochron Scepter at the moment. I appreciate the thoughtful commentary!
