Played this deck for my final game last night. I kept an opening hand with Pyre of Heroes and Mana Echoes, so I thought I might have a strong early approach toward setting up big mana token-generating loops. I topdecked more lands and, eventually, both Muxus and Kiki-Jiki. Despite not getting...

After using Urza's Saga to fetch Sol Ring and get some mana, I found myself falling behind as I just couldn't get more than two lands. Omarthis was stuck on 1 counters for a few turns, while all three of my opponents pulled ahead. Clock of Omens helped me catch up a little and I started to...

Played this deck yesterday and it wound up being a pretty crazy game with lots of interaction. At various points, it seemed like any of the four players might be able to win. Ultimately, I found myself in a spot where I could eliminate either of my two remaining opponents with Brash Taunter, but...

I played this for my final game of Wednesday night. It had been a while, so I wanted to get another game in. I got a bit manadrowned and even topdecked Extraplanar Lens, so I had plenty of mana and not a lot of actual defensive tools. Using Phyrexian Metamorph to copy a Great Unclean One...

This game put up a dominant performance. I was a turn away from all of my goblins being taken out by Farewell. Won with token beatdown after using Goblin Matron to fetch Kiki-Jiki and then Kiki-Jiki to copy the Matron and tutor up some other goblins. Goblin Chieftain and Vanquisher's Banner made...

I built this stupid deck to be hyperfocused on Repercussion, and the one time that I finally win a game, I never see Repercussion or really even use anything similar to it! I had both Cabal Coffers and Vesuva in my opening hand, so I decided to go for broke and do a first-turn Vampiric Tutor...

Always use Humility. I played this deck for my final game last night. It was a good game. My friend was able to blow up Divine Intervention with Reclamation Sage, but I was protected by Solitary Confinement. I got Greater Auramancy to help protect Solitary Confinement and could have followed...

During what otherwise was shaping up to be a great game I derped into Metalworker + Staff of Domination. Well, technically, there was more to it. I had Liberator out and someone cast Glen Elendra Archmage. So I sacrificed Scrapyard Recombiner to its own ability and fetched Metalworker, then...

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.
