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.
Fightstarter Karaoke - Kardur, Doomscourge budget multiplayer-only goad and aggro. Force everyone to fight all the time and reap the rewards.
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!?
Verbal Intercourse - Nassari, Dean of Expression - Big spell sling and treasure creation. All about building mana and casting huge spells, preferably from exile and/or for free. Found out Nassari is non-binary too, which rules.
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 - Witch in the Woods - Korvold, Fae-Cursed King Big Witch energy sacrifice deck. Korvold is generally under-utilized considering his power ceiling, but I really, really wanted a witch deck. Eat your snacks, build a giant dragon and gun for fun witchy plays like infinite Cauldron Familiar.
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 - Da Mysteries of Chessboxin' - Elsha of the Infinite Prowess and Magecraft triggers. Make a swarm of tokens by casting all the spells. Inspired by Wu Tang Clan and the might of genius and the mysteries of Shaolin.
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 Danitha Capashen, Penny-pincher...
#1How well does the deck perform? Love seeing that price tag!
