Greetings!
I've been playing MtG for over 20 years.
is my favorite color. My favorite formats are cEDH, Modern, Standard, and Legacy. My hobby is tinkering with competitive builds which utilize the strongest aspects of - Control, disruption, graveyard interaction, reanimation, sacrifice, suicide, etc.
I avoid playing online and own my decks in paper. Nothing beats sitting down, handling real cards, and playing against a live human being!
Lately I’ve been playing mostly Commander. I am always updating my 3 cEDH decks:
TINY PUNISHER - Discard/Stax [cEDH Primer Update] (featuring
Tinybones, Trinket Thief
and focusing on hand-discard and graveyard exile, now with
Tergrid, God of Fright
Flip and
Professor Onyx
), and
PHYREXIAN DOOMSDAY - K’rrik Combo [cEDH Primer] (hyper-competitive build featuring
K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth
and multiple infinite combos, including
Doomsday
), and
KAALIA'S CATACLYSM - Aggro/Stax [cEDH Primer] (my hybrid aggro/stax build featuring
Kaalia of the Vast
. I picked up a Kaalia pre-con many years ago and the deck has evolved over the years into the beast it is now).
I’m a big fan of Kaldheim and I like developing Standard deck concepts for fun. Note that I haven’t updated my decks since the release of Strixhaven:
THE NIGHT KING COMETH - Snow Zombie Tribal (Finally viable zombies in standard! This deck features self-mill and the new Kaldheim cards
Narfi, Betrayer King
, and
Egon, God of Death
Flip).
TERGRID’S TORTURE CHAMBER - Discard Control (focusing on discard effects and the “8-Rack” of
Tergrid, God of Fright
Flip and
Liliana, Waker of the Dead
).
SHEPHERDS OF THE FALLEN - Angel Reanimator (concept focusing on self-mill and reanimation, featuring the new
Renegade Reaper
and
Shepherd of the Cosmos
).
LILIANA’S EMBRACE - Self-Mill Reanimator (I’ve been running this deck for a couple rotations. This latest iteration focuses on reanimation and features
Archfiend's Vessel
and
Liliana, Waker of the Dead
).
The format I enjoy the most is Modern. The decks I am currently running are:
TWIN LILIANA CONTROL - Black Devotion (Primer) (the most brutal and reliable Modern deck I own - essentially Mono-Black devotion featuring
Phyrexian Obliterator
and splashing White for removal),
KAMIKAZE SHADOW RACK - Suicide Discard (the most fun of all my decks because it puts both players on a timer and requires great skill to pilot - 10 Rack featuring
Death's Shadow
),
FEAR FACTORY - Vial Zombie Tribal (my most reliable zombie aggro variant which functions against graveyard hate - featuring
Aether Vial
and
Skaab Ruinator
),
GRAVE BLASTER - Vengevine Reanimator (an explosive and unpredictable self-mill zombie variant that annihilates decks with no graveyard hate - featuring
Vengevine
),
SCOURGE BOLT - Suicide Burn (an aggro-burn variant designed to utilize
Scourge of the Skyclaves
and
Death's Shadow
),
FULLMETAL ALCHEMISTS - Blightsteel Combo (for when I want to relive my old Tinker days - featuring
Kuldotha Forgemaster
and
Blightsteel Colossus
), and
AURELIA’S AVENGERS - Angel Tribal (I designed this build for my wife to compete against my Black decks, and it’s very effective - featuring
Resplendent Angel
and
Aurelia, the Warleader
).
My Legacy Reanimator deck hasn’t tasted blood in a while and is waiting for a victim...
GRISELBRAND REBORN - Ultimate Reanimator (which can consistently reanimate
Griselbrand
on turns 1 or 2 and win via
Children of Korlis
and
Tendrils of Agony
).
So far I have designed 9 decks which have reached #1 on T/O, plus 10 others which have broken top 20.
I appreciate any comments or suggestions! My decks have improved over the years thanks to the great advice from fellow T/O users. I am also happy to help if you have any questions for me!
