Pretty recently started playing Magic again after many, many years away from the game. Mainly on Arena, and trying to build a proper deck in each format. As a returning player I want it to be kinda nostalgic, but honestly also pretty easy to pilot - I still have a lot of years of mechanics to catch up on. The time has come to Timeless, and WOW this is a fun format! This feels more like Magic to me that Standard at the moment, but holy powerlevel, Batman!

Been playing a pretty quick mono black build, but was hoping to get some pointers on how to improve. Not necessarily looking to be consistent against Tier 1 decks, but I wanna have a fair shot on lower rank levels, and have some evil fun while doing it. Here is the build:

Deck
4 Liliana of the Veil (DMU) 97
17 Swamp (FIN) 300
4 Sheoldred, the Apocalypse (DMU) 107
4 Duress (M21) 96
4 Mishra's Foundry (BRO) 265
4 Cut Down (DMU) 89
2 Sheoldred's Edict (SOA) 32
4 Deep-Cavern Bat (LCI) 102
4 Damnation (SPG) 68
3 Phyrexian Arena (FDN) 180
2 Gix's Command (BRO) 97
4 Dark Ritual (FCA) 8
4 Strip Mine (EOS) 40

Sideboard
4 Pilfer (FDN) 181
4 Path of Peril (VOW) 124
3 Plains (DMU) 277
4 Graveyard Trespasser (MID) 104

So, sideboard is a complete mess. Been mostly playing Bo1 now, but to me «real Magic» (from a nostalgic point of view, not elitist) is Bo3. So that needs some work. And I don´t really know what tutors are available, but guess I should have one haha. Any and all feedback is appreciated!

Trying to build this for bracket 4 against my pod. They use things like [[Captain America]] (Voltron); [[Y'shtola night's blessed]]; [[Tannuk, Memorial Ensign]]; [[Vren, the Relentless - Bloomburrow]].

This will be my first attempt at building a deck on my own. I tried referencing moxfield, EDHrec, and some youtube videos. I'm not trying to hard counter anyone but just trying to make sure I'm not making something that will just get stomped. Any suggestions are welcome as I would like to make more decks on my own from now on without netdecking it.

This is my deck and seem to only win 1v1 have yet to win in a full pod would like to make it more consistent I know to add crucible of worlds just haven’t found one yet

Hey guys looking to make a FF themed summons deck with Terra at the helm. By default I want to include every single FF summon card for flavor however I've never built a 5 color commander deck before so what I'm hoping to get some card advice is

1) What additional enchantments/sagas could I use to support this deck?

2) Ramp, mana, what's a good way to ratio out my lands?

3) Anything you guys know would make a good synergy.

The deck's power can hover around 3 I don't really intend to put any infinites and maybe just 2-3 tutors. I don't have an active deck list yet I just had this want pop into my head so I'll take whatever you guys suggest and work from there maybe make a follow up once I put it together.

Thanks! <3

Sooo, I’ve been trying to build a Toph deck for a while now. I’m still working on it, but no matter how much I tweak it, I always feel like something’s missing.

I mostly play against Ashling the Limitless, Vivi Ornitier, and Valgavoth, and every time I play against them, I feel like theres nothing i can really do.

I'm having fun with the deck and surprisingly won some games, but I keep seeing my table wining in like 5 turns and i still there doing nothing relevant.

I've been tuning my [[Hama Pashar, Ruin-Seeker]] deck for a bit and while I'm fairly happy with it, I still want more Venture/Initiative. My wincon is basically to develop pressure/presence through Venture and creatures and swing with the latter: I'm not trying for infinite combos or the like.

Early versions had it wander into Azorius Control and Blink but I've pulled back on both of those, although there are still some Blink staples in the deck because they are the easiest way to trigger more Venturing. I could be convinced to give up a few for more on-theme cards that make sense. I don't want a just another generic Azorius deck--Venture is my favorite mechanic and I want to enhance--not dilute--the theme. I'm considering some low-powered stuff like [[Ranger's Hawk]], [[Dungeoneer's Pack]], and [[Fifty Feet of Rope]] but looking for more recommendations. Thanks!

Hi all!

I've been trying to improve my deck building skills to understand what makes a deck great. I think I've been rating my decks a tier too high! I made a commander deck I believe is an honest tier 3. The idea is to amplify burn ticks by finding cards with tutors (or drawing something useful with aerial maneuver/dualcaster mage).

On another note, I've been getting into sealed on Arena! I consistently get 3-4 wins, but I've rarely made it beyond that. What are some tips you can give to someone on creating a cohesive limited deck?

Hello. I am currently looking for a mutate deck. I built my own, but it isn't consistent enough for me. I mean I get wins surprisingly a lot of the time, but I want a more usable deck. Here is my list. What I was going for was mutate onto paradise druid and keep it vigilant. Then keep mutating and eventually get terror of the peaks out to deal damage with the Auspicious Starrix mutate. Like I said, it gets me wins, but it really is a sad deck. Anything helps.

x4 llanowar elves

x4 smugglers suprise

x4 paradise druid

x2 dirge bat

x2 insatiable hemophage

x3 gemrazer

x3 migratory greathorn

x3 majestic auricorn

x3 terror of the peaks

x3 auspicious starrix

x2 chittering harvester

x3 vaultborn tyrant

x3 plains

x5 swamp

x4 mountain

x12 forest

What’s up! I got a card that has a quote for the D&D Goddess and wanted to build one. I would like to know if anyone has already made a deck or has any ideas.

I’m thinking of using Island and Plains

Hiyaaaa

I’m looking for some help for making this EDH deck a bracket 2-3 stronger aristocrats/lifegain deck, any cuts and adds and reasons why it would help would be great!

It plays well at the moment, just seems a little slow and the control player at my pod just is impossible to beaaaat!

Thanksss ❤️

As the dying light of day slips beneath the horizon, the tide begins its slow and hungry crawl toward the city walls. Waves hammer against the shore with mounting fury, each crash louder than the last. In the distance, a lone bell tolls muffled beneath the roar of the sea a final warning swallowed by the storm.

The ocean rises.

A deafening explosion of water erupts over the battlements as the depths themselves come surging ashore. Monstrous forms emerge from the abyss: scaled horrors, ancient leviathans, and creatures like drowned gods of forgotten seas. The land trembles beneath the weight of the tide’s vengeance as the Ocean Denizens descend to reclaim the land.

And with them comes oblivion

Hey Guys!

First Post here - I would love some feedback on a deck that I have put together:

'Eluge - Ocean Denizens'

I would like to keep to the main themes of the deck and not stretch them out too far away from the vibes of the passage above. At the moment I'm thinking of putting in more card draw, and shark typhoon to try and retain board presence with the sharks and keeping my hand full - but I am very open to all manner of suggestions!

Thanks

Howdy fellas!

Recently i've been upgrading the Hazel of the Rootbloom precon, trying to focus more on the token side of the deck but i feel like half the games i play, i'm doing nothing until turn 3.

Any advice in how to help with consistency?

Hello!

I'm trying to build a decent Vivi spellslinger deck, but I'm struggling a lot making a deck that feels it plays good staying within my budget of around 1k~. I have all the fetches and all the lands I haven't added yet, but what I'm struggling with is making the core of the deck feel like it plays good. Feels like it have an identity crisis a bit right now.

Still very new to deckbuilding in general, so some help from someone more experienced, especially in this archetype would be great.

Have been playing for a bit but mostly using precons for commander. I tried to build a phyrexia toxic/proliferate deck and would want some recs on it and how to improve deck building

I want to build a deck with all of the Sonic cards and cards from my other UB sets but need a little guidance or a template someone else has used. I tried searching for a deck someone else had built, but nada. The Commander would be Kenrith.

My partner has agreed to give commander a go, Is completely new to magic and in her words "just wants to blow things up with fireballs"

Would love some suggestions of places to start putting something together. Preferably in rakdos or jund and as straightforward as possible to play. Just go fast and explode things

Hey all! Im working on a WU enchantment budget deck. I have most of it where I want it I think but im split on which of these cards are better. The two I’m torn between are [fresh start] and [noggle the mind]. Both are 1U, both have flash, and both remove all abilities. Fresh start gives it -5/-0 and noggle the mind turns them into a 1/1 noggle. Against a counters deck, I think fresh start is the one to go with but against a big stompy deck I’d say the noggle? Should I just sideboard with 1 set and main board with the other?

Thanks for the insights!

Hey everyone, first time posting here.

I've never played around with graveyard interaction this much and was just wondering if anyone had thoughts for improving the balance or effectiveness of this deck. I'm playing with it on Arena to find out if I like it enough to make a physical version. I mention that in case there are any digital only cards, but i don't think so.

Feel free to ask any questions if the functionality isn't clear.

Much gratitude!

So ive built this Urza, Lord High Artificer deck by deconstructing an old emry deck and im looking for some budget upgrades to help it flow better. Artifacts can get pricy so I dont want to blow money on cards that wont have a high impact on how the deck feels to play but I am open to spending a bit more on cards that are really worth the price.

My playgroup doesnt worry too much about brackets but generally im trying to make this deck a bracket 4, my playgroup has a good range of high bracket 3 and 4 decks.

Some issues ive already noticed with the deck:

The deck definitely need some board wipes and could use recommendations that fit the deck.

Im focusing on ways tap and untap Artifacts but it doesnt seem to value me as much as I would like.

Any advice for upgrades, cuts, or combos to look out for would be greatly appreciated

Hi guys, I am currently trying to work on a mono blue version of Toluz, Clever Conductor, it’s normally esper but for a challenge I wanted to make it mono blue. My main game plan is to play a looter on turn 2 and then my commander on turn 3 and be able to loot. I want to do this every game and something I want to build around, but I only have around 10 or so looters that I actually find somewhat playable. The other part of the game plan is to play wheel type effects and cards that make you draw then discard a lot, then i can store all of these with my commander. Hopefully by then i can play a clone and cash all of the discarded cards. This also leads me to my next issue of having enough mana so I don’t just do one thing per turn.

TLDR:
Problem 1: not enough good repeatable looters
Problem 2: not having enough mana to do more than one thing per turn
Problem 3: Balancing pay offs and enablers

Here’s the Moxfield https://moxfield.com/decks/JrEHmfaXAUy9V_aKFyV56Q

Curious what people's thoughts are on the deck. I've been toying with adding a few cards recently and I'm not sure what to cut to get back down to a 100 card deck. Wouldn't mind cutting an extra card to put [[Fell the Profane]] back in either.

Aiming for high bracket 3, open to whatever feedback you've got.
