Torsten's streak of domination continues. I used Azusa to get extra lands out faster and sacrificed Crystal Vein to rush my commander out as quickly as possible. That gave me resources to use High Market to kill Torsten, Karmic Guide to bring it back, then Eternal Witness to bring Karmic Guide...

Had a weirdly slow start with this deck, but still came pretty close to setting up a combo. After mulliganing away a hand with no red sources, I wound up with a hand that had four Mountains. The problem was that I had no cheap goblins. I cast Phyrexian Altar on my third turn, but had no...

I keep bringing this deck to tables where it's bound to get trounced. Still, my friend had to kill me first because if he didn't, my Brash Taunter was going to kill him.

I only got two games in on Wednesday night this week. Both were very long. This deck won an epic game just as the game store was closing. I was able to use Erratic Portal to get card advantage after Omarthis died with 7 counters, but killing Omarthis had also killed an opponent's Kura, the...

I actually had a pretty good game with this deck this week. The opponent with an artifact-based deck that was easily the strongest deck did a good job of getting an engine going while dissuading the other two players from viewing him as the archenemy at the table. Either of them could have...

https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/introducing-commander-brackets-beta Well, this is a steaming hot pile of garbage.

This deck has betrayed me for the last time. Tried to use it once on Friday last week and also for my final game last night. It was lousy. I need the manabase to build a Halfdane deck anyway, so it's time to retire Eriette.

Well, people knew Maelstrom Wanderer could be dangerous, but they still gave this deck time to set up. I needed it because I kept topdecking red cards and had no way to make red mana. There were multiple board wipes slung around in this game, so by the time I did cast Maelstrom Wanderer, I only...

Tried this deck a couple more times and it has has had no luck at all. :(

Well, I actually had a pretty good game going. Used Persistent Petitioners to commit crimes for Duelist of the Mind, then set up a board with enough advisors to mill myself a lot. If I actually might have won the game with Storm of Souls, but the turn before I got enough lands to cast it, the...

Got ahead of a Bruna auras deck by a turn or so and flooded the board with tokens for the win. This actually might be my most consistently powerful deck at the moment.

Another Omarthis beatdown win last week. The combos are cool, but sometimes just punching people with equipped creatures gets the job done.

This was the deck that I brought out for my final game last night. At first, it looked like I was maybe falling behind. Ulvenwald Hydra gave me some protection against flying attacks and helped me ramp toward Torsten. I kept Knight of the Reliquary ready to grab Glacial Chasm just in case, but...

Is this deck on a winning streak? Weird. Despite only getting three lands, my mana production was boosted by stuff other red players at the table did. First, there was Chaos Moon. Later, there was Extraplanar Lens with a Mountain imprinted on it. I attacked a lot and brought life totals down...

After getting trounced by high-power decks while trying to use my Legends legends, I played at the same table. The apparent consensus was that the big guns had been deployed and that it would be fun to play a more casual game. One of the players ended up leaving for the evening and a new one...

Played this deck last night. Ledger Shredder put in work, but one of my opponents popped off and slaughtered the whole table pretty quickly with Craterhoof Behemoth. I am running up against a lot of high-power stuff lately.

Well, this deck's first game was awkward. I kept a two-land hand and stalled out, discarding Fallen Angel to hand size. The next player used Reanimate on my Fallen Angel so that he could use the sacrifice ability as a combo tool. He popped off, but so did one of the other players at the table...

When I considered Tor Wauki as a commander option, it occurred to me that Repercussion might work well with that ability. So I built a Repercussion deck. Commander: 1 Tor Wauki 1 Akroan Horse 1 Arid Mesa 1 Ashnod's Altar 1 Atsushi, the Blazing Sky 1 Badlands 1 Black Market 1 Blasphemous Act 1...

I played this deck yesterday in a game that I'm counting as a win. And it's my count that matters here! :P Alright, so the clear dominant threat at the table was a Sliver Tribal deck (helmed by Sliver Queen). I shut that player down by using Bazaar Trader to give him a Grid Monitor. The other...

I threw this deck together on Tuesday night, then played it twice on Wednesday and once yesterday. Yikes, it's bad. I will need to exercise some patience in finding a game where this deck is actually appropriate, because the power level of most casual pods these days is just too high for it. I'd...
