To my complete bewilderment, this bad deck won the game in its very first outing. I think it's a bad deck. I'm almost sure of it. The commander is virtually dead weight and I threw this together almost entirely out of miscellaneous cards that I hadn't sorted back into my collection after using...

Having already done a Sunastian Falconer deck years ago, I've been somewhat stumped as to what approach I want to take with building decks helmed by the two other mana dork legends among the original 55. I was trying to think of an appropriate "princess" theme of some sort, and the art got me...

Yet again, I got my graveyard exiled. This time, it didn't matter. Also, I have a bit of a misgiving here. I was manascrewed and one of my opponent started using Dust Bowl to blow up the three lands I actually had. So things could have been very uneventful for me. But I was able to get...

I lost a game with this deck a couple of weeks ago, but I forget exactly what it was that I did. I think that I'd left myself open thinking that I was safe, and I just ate more attacks than I expected. I vaguely recall that the player who took me out was trying to win and managed to down another...

I just calculated the probability, by the way. Although my fate was sealed before I topdecked the fourth of my 5+ CMC goblins, it still actually happened. And there's a less than 0.0014% chance of that happening. So yeah, I probably don't have to worry about seeing that again. Also, the...

I got shut down hard while playing this deck last week, with countermagic and some mana denial. I was short on lands, but ordinarily should have had the tools to get going. Skullclamp stuck around for a long time. Unfortunately, my commander had been taxed to the point that I couldn't cast it...

Fourth turn Eureka into sixth turn kill. This deck is probably a bit too consistently strong for its own gimmick. I dunno.

I lost a couple more games with this deck, but forced last night's game to end in a draw. One of my opponents had Archon of Sun's Grace and failed to notice that resolving Enchanted Evening would mean the next permanent to enter the battlefield under his control would create an infinite loop and...

To my utter amazement, this deck won another game. Rampaging Aetherhood is a powerhouse if left unchecked. I was able to take an extra turn with Gonti's Aether Heart and then set up the activation of Aetherflux Conduit. This drew me into Lightning Runner, which let me kill two opponents. The...

Oops. I guess I posted this in a thread for the wrong deck a few weeks ago. Copying it over to this thread now. I got manascrewed and then tag-teamed! Kept a one-hand hand because it had Sol Ring and Basalt Monolith. Despite failing to topdeck a second land, I was able to use artifact mana to...

Although I didn't type up my list for this deck until earlier this week, I've actually been playing it for the past three weeks. It's been the deck I've played most in that time. It hasn't won a game or really even come close at all. Still, there's just something special about this classic...

It had been over a year since I built a walls deck and apparently I can't help myself, even against my better judgment. Should Rolling Stones be in here? Probably. But it's not. We're not attacking. We're defending. Eventually, if no one kills us, I guess we win. If opponents somehow let this...

https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/commander-brackets-beta-update-april-22-2025 Oh look, the "gamechangers" list just got bigger. :rolleyes: The article doesn't summarize the changes cleanly, so I did that work for them. Two cards have been removed from the list: Trinisphere...

Oops, this got posted in the wrong thread. I got manascrewed and then tag-teamed! Kept a one-hand hand because it had Sol Ring and Basalt Monolith. Despite failing to topdeck a second land, I was able to use artifact mana to built a decent board state. One of my opponents was playing a...

Played this deck on Wednesday night. It was brutal. I kept an opening hand with Repercussion, although my only lands were swamps. Well, I never found a single source of red mana, but kept topdecking more red cards. Died once someone finally put me out of my misery.

Playing this deck on Wednesday night, I struggled through some lousy topdecks. Opponents kept hitting my artifacts with pinpoint removal spells for some reason, which slowed me down a lot. I was not an archenemy or anything, but someone would look at the table and go, "You know what looks most...

Wow. This deck actually won a game. After building up energy with Rampaging Aetherhood and taking a beating, I managed to catch the table off-guard with a combo of Aethersquall Ancient + Aetheric Amplifier. No one had a way to stop me and I was free to finish my opponents off with a flying...

Played this deck last night, but I botched it. Opponents kept blowing up my artifacts and I didn't have enough goblins. It was partially my fault. One of my opponents had Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and managed to get Filth into his graveyard, so he was attacking all three of us. His attacks...

This deck is more fun than I expected. Well, one of my opponents cast Saw in Half on my Hunted Horror and I couldn't resist the temptation to give all four centaur tokens to the same player I'd given the first two tokens. This worked out well for that player because he couldn't find any islands...
