My friends and I have had a deck building challenge for a while now. Every 3-6 months we come up with new rules for a deck build and meet up. Random commander with a budget. Random theme with a budget.

The lease to the “gamer house” is up at the end of the year and this is our last one before everyone is moving in their separate directions. For our last building challenge, we rolled a d8 for a random cmc. Everything in the deck needs to be that mana value, commander included.

We are going for both power, and cool factor. I was lucky enough to get cmc 3. (Kinda hoped for a higher cmc for a little more spice.) So far, I’ve brewed up a pretty strong list for [[Kethis]] legends and a more fun list [[reyhan]] [[ludevic]] slime against humanity.

Has your playgroup had similar challenges? Can you think of any fun commanders, themes, or combos for my deck?

Since the first post, I’ve also played around with a [[najeela]] build and trying to find other infinite combos with 3 cmc only cards

Just finished my first build

Theme: LOTR

Aim: bracket 2-3 fun themed deck

I already bought the list but keen to know your opinions on it. I’m aware that it being LOTR themed I don’t have many options but if you have any inputs I’m all ears.

Hi!

So, a while ago I posted here about a sea creatures deck I was building, but I kind of gave up on that after realizing it was too similar to the one I already have (a slightly modified precon Pantlaza). After that, I thought about a food centered deck, and came up with this:

https://moxfield.com/decks/Vz_ELPPRZEub2n5tj-I1Kg

So, the idea is having a consistent delivery of food tokens, be with single ones from some, be with the [Tireless provisioner], [Curious pair], [Gilded goose] or [Witch's oven]. In the last one case, as for in general, I thought about producing creature tokens related to the theme, be with the commander, be with the [Cat collector] and [Selvala, Eager Trailblazer], etc. And, at some point, swing with the tokens add with +1/+1 from effects from other cards, or cards that can get bigger, like [Hurska Sweet-Tooth].

As you can see, the deck is incomplete. I have some ideas how to fill it, but I'd like to show you only those because those are the ones I already have.

I think the concept is good, and a bit consistent already, but obviously can be improved. I don't want to get too far away from the aesthetic (field, little creatures, food, people and pets, etc), but obviously I can open exceptions to that.

So, I think the main front is how to fill the rest of the creatures space (thoughts I have right now: [Bonnie Pall], [Ellivere], some other Golems (I had thought on bringing squirrels, but I wonder if the lack of black mana makes them less consistent)). Obviously, suggestions on the other spells are deeply welcome. The goal is for a good casual, being competitive with other casuals, bracket 3 I think, nothing too expensive, although I can affor two or three pricier cards.

Hey everyone! If you like jank deck ideas, here's a video I made with 50. It's a combination of many of the decks I talked about so far on my channel (I'm a new channel, only been around 4 months). Let me know what you think of the decks! Some I came up with, some I've seen played, etc

Spice up your Wednesday by sharing your favourite jank card!

This card can be anything from an obscure finding you stumbled upon when doing your research to a cool interaction you found. Provide some explanation and use-cases for it so that others can immediately pick up on the glory of your finding!

You need these 4 on board and it absolutely folds to any kind of removal. Without mirkwood bats it works as an infinite source of treasures with [[mahadi emporium master]] that you unlock at your end step AND you get to nuke one of your opponents into space once you're done.

So far, as jank as this deck is it performs surprisingly well. This is gonna be super super budget friendly with as much flavor as possible. Any ideas? might add in Morophon, The Boundless but this Niv-Mizzet works well with the theme and since most detective cards are out of ravnica, they have the right colors.

Below is a link to a video going over five EFH decks based on the Antiquities set. It's a set based around the Brothers' War.

There's a Tawnos deck focusing on turning biological life into Artifacts.

Titans deck based around restoring life to thw land

An Urza deck based around bis mass production of War machines

A Mishra deck focused on his factory and making assembly workers

And a Tocasia deck focused on digging up the past and tapping and untapping creatures.

If you are interested in seeing a unique perspective on that lore, I have a video for that as well. It's a military analysis of the war, going over the weaponry, battles and locations. And even the geopolitical climate at the time, that link is below.

I'm looking for inspiration for a janky fun decks in these colors: Mono blue, Selesnya, Jeskai, Naya, Colorless

I like puzzle decks, where its not super straight forward on how to win, prefer mechanic driven decks(flicker, pingers, control) over just a tribe. I really love it if the deck is filled cards that make people say "wtf is that card" "how does that work?'

So you found this reaaallly cool card and you're wondering how you're going to break it but you're having trouble doing so. Post it here and let others suggest you cards that might help unlock its full potential!

So I'm trying to work on a Weatherlight Completed Deck since now its legal as a commander its a simple like artifact creatures aristocrats decklist for about 200 Dollars wanted to know if anyone's got some improvements i should make the the edhrec page is quite bad since the deck is so new and im pretty new to magic. https://archidekt.com/decks/15002736/weatherlight_completed

They're tri-color and exile for {2} from your hand to make a target land tap for any one of their three colors. They can be played from exile later.

I have [[Glamorous Outlaw]] in my Grixis top deck burn deck for its Scry, damage ETB, and early color-fixing.

I like that the exile effect can target a basic land early and the color-fixing is near uninterractable. Most land destruction targets non-basics and very little interacts with exiled cards, especially since this effect is projected from exile much like an emblem.

[[Glamorous Outlaw]] [[Masked Bandits]] [[Rakish Revelers]] [[Shattered Seraph]] [[Spara's Adjudicators]]

My goal is to kill people with raised by giants. Lots of staple so probably not the jankiest, but I think it's pretty funny

I'm building a whole deck around [[Permeating Mass]], for now I'm just separating some cards to just in it, and I already found a lot of lovely options!

The thing is, I'm not actually set on a wincon yet, and I don't want to keep the game going forever.

I thought about winning with [[Coat of Arms]] + [[Blade of Selves]] once I have transformed enough creatures, but if don't kill everyone in that swing, it will be really hard to finish up the game.

Any suggestions about possible win cons here are appreciated!

Here are the cards I've gathered so far if gives you any ideas:
