I started playing at around IceAge. My first display was from Portal. I play mostly at the kitchen table with some occasionally drafts at FNM. My playgroup always played 60 card singleton decks and started to adopt to commander in the last two years.

My deck building philosophy (https://tappedout.net/mtg-articles/2020/apr/1/edh-deck-building-process-1/):

  • I love the deck building process more than playing (which I still love a lot)
  • As we mostly play casual I want to have everyone at the table to have fun. So I dislike I-Win-The-Game-Combos, discard strategies, land destruction strategies or mass land destruction and don't play or include counter spells very often.
  • I like janky tribal decks (SPOOKIE BONES / Ayula's Bears / Boros Samurai / Elephant Charge
  • I keep the health of my playgroup in mind when building, and try to build in the €100-€200 max price range for commander and €70-€150 for 60 card singleton decks.
  • As I mostly play in one playgroup I tend to have a lot of decks for diversity reasons.

Some upgrade suggestions:

You're playing way to less lands. Go up to at least 38 Lands.

Ramp:

Add more ramp (in sum you should end at around 9-11):

but cut Kodama's Reach wtih execption of Axebane Guardian the ramp should help you get out Arcades at round 3, if possible.

Protection:

Replace Intervene with a flicker spell for one mana. Same effect but better synergy with commander. For example:

Replace Miscalculation with Arcane Denial

Replace Remove Soul with Displace or even better a board protection spell like:

Replace Seedling Charm with one of the following:

Removal:

Replace Solemn Offering with Stroke of Midnight

Add an additonal one-sided massremoval like Slaughter the Strong

Backup for Commander:
