Hey everyone!
I’m a very - very new MTG player, last year I bought my first deck and played one single commander game and I’ve been wanting to dip my toes in more but… it’s overwhelming.
I was wondering if:
A) How exactly should I go about buying card packs/decks? Is there a way to buy premade player decks like some online store or just pick whatever looks fun at a card shop?
B) I don’t play for meta, I don’t even know what the MTG meta is I’m purely a “for fun” player so I don’t need a min maxed super op deck or anything. I love playstyles that are themed around horde/swarming. I’ve been told there are goblin decks that do this but that doesn’t mean anything to me as a new player. What sort of decks or cards should I be looking out for that fits a horde/rush theme for commander? Bonus points if it can somehow be rat/skaven themed if that’s even possible (my favorite WH fantasy faction).
I’ll take any pointers, thanks!
[[Winter, Cursed Rider]] is this a legendary creature worth building a deck for or is it better in the 99?
I’ve never built an artifact or vehicle deck, curious to get a vibe check on this potential commander. Basic reason is I like winter and have golgari and Jund decks with winter as the leader.
Hello, I'm looking to add a few more lands to this deck to make it more consistent especially with a high CMC commander and curve, but I need to make a few cuts. Any suggestions? Maybe want to like like 2 more lands or so. Thanks!
I'm fairly new to deck-building. I was looking through cards and thought [[Kassandra, Eagle Bearer]] was an interesting card and began building from there. I have a knight theme in there as well with cards that synergize with equipment cards, but I'm curious if I'm missing anything. I only have 4 cards for targeted removal and perhaps that's too few? Or too many? I'm not sure what all needs to be included. Is my manabase too small?
I also haven't even thought about sideboard because I'm not sure what should or needs to be included. Literally any advice is much appreciated!

Edit: The deck is not intended for tournaments or anything, just casual games or modern nights at my LGS
I’ve been working on an idea of casting all 5 cost instant and sorceries that can be cast with [[Codie, Vociferous Codex]] and using Codie’s ability to hit [[Beacon of Creation]] every time. Uniquely this can be done with all forests as lands as well.
In my testing with the deck it has had some very powerful turns and wins, but just as bad losses.
The problem I’ve noticed is that I don’t do much before turn 3 and Codie is very susceptible to removal.
Wanted to know if anyone had any (budget friendly) ideas that don’t mess with the intention of the deck.

Hello, I was trying to brew an artifact/affinity deck Do you all have any tips on how to upgrade the deck or how to make some changes? Thanks
P.s I’m gonna call the deck the rumbling
I'm needing to make a lot of cuts for [[Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief]] to get down to 100. My main goal is to get out a low cmc creature with evasion or protection, then set up to copy aura's and mutate spells to win mainly through combat damage. Any suggestions on cuts would be very helpful.
I'm thinking of making a set of dual-colour commander decks based on the ten Bloomburrow main creature types (White/Blue Kastral birds, Blue/Black Vren rats etc), but I've hit a bit of a roadblock on how to continue-my primary aim is to use Bloomburrow cards or ones that seem to fit the flavour of the plane, with making a strong deck mostly a secondary concern. I've pretty much included every Bloomburrow card I can, but I've still got a lot of empty spaces in my decklists-any tips on what else I should be looking to include?
Hi all,
I've been fiddling with the 2023 starter kit: Day of the Dragon deck.
Currently, the idea looks like this: https://moxfield.com/decks/MdmXZmVtqUyeLM69jpED1Q
I'm a bit new to deckbuilding and I feel like I get stuck loving each and every card in there, and maybe have to shift around the amounts of certain cards... maybe I'm missing a fantastic dragon or board control spell? Am I lacking in the draw-department?
In short, I would appreciate any insight and tips for my dragon-theme deck!
Hi all, I am building a deck that was based on ships being in the art with a preference for art theme over efficient playability. It started out with all ships in art, it expanded to sea art and pirates. Ive figured, based on available cards, that it would be fun to have a ship vehicle deck based on edward kenway to include as much ships as possible. However, i find it very difficult to cut back down to 100. What cards should I cut?
I am still torn between the art theme of it and having an efficient deck. What do you think on this subject?
Hi, i'm fairly new to commander and TCGs in general. been working on this deck for a bit now, finally got a 100 that i'm kinda happy with, but i want to make it more consistent.
the main idea is to build a board full of angels, slow down other players, and then drop [[Aurelia the Warleader]] from the command zone and take everyone out with (potentially infinite) combat by blinking her using [[Cloudshift]] or [[Ephemerate]] and repeating it with [[Surge to Victory]].
i also included some start of combat tricks to really drive it home.
i'd like to keep as many angels as possible (the original plan was Angel tribal), but i'd be willing to substitute some for angel token generators or multipliers or just something else that gives better value. mostly because i'm concerned that i won't be able to cast a lot of my bigger mana spells with the mana i can currently produce.
i'm mainly ramping through treasure token generation, but a lot of that depends on what my opponents are doing (which i've been told is a consequence of playing Boros).
i also want to leave out any more tutors.
what would you change about this to make it more powerful and consistent? budget options preferably, the deck is already a bit expensive for me as is 😅. thanks in advance :)
New MTG and wanting to get into the game I went a bit nutz and ended up with like 15,000+ cards not bulk which I ended up scanning into manabox.
I know there are a bunch of good cards. Any suggestions what would be the best way to make some decks that are deck lists/precons out there already?
Kinda overwhelmed with the amount and where to begin.
Hey all, I've been researching group hug decks after primarily playing/brewing combat focused decks for a while, and I wanted to see if breaking parity on counters was a realistic way to group hug. The general idea is "Make everyone's creatures huge, don't have them come at me." The first commander I went to was [[Nils, Discipline Enforcer]] (for obvious reasons), but the mono white restricted my access to handing out counters on opponent's creatures quite a bit and being mono colored knocked off a lot of the cool options like [[Generous Patron]] as well as being lacking in a good way to break parity on the excess counters. The list I ended up putting together also had a lot of stax adjacent effects such as [[Windborn Muse]] that felt almost necessary with the way the deck would play out but don't sit quite right with me.
My mind is currently on [[Kros, Defense Contractor]], which provides access to a consistent form of goad allowing me to drop the "deterrent" style cards, allows for cool synergy with cards such as [[Hylda of the Icy Crown]] and [[Solitary Sanctuary]], provides more consistent counter access through counter spreaders like [[Sheltering Ancient]] and [[Aven Courier]] on top of proliferate accelerators such as [[Dreamtide Whale]] and [[Thrummingbird]]. My primary concern with this decklist is it has the potential to get very oppressive depending on how many effects tap creatures (which would happen on every single counter and proliferation) when my commander is out.
This is the current decklist I've thought of, but I can't help but feel like I'm missing some key pieces to make it all fit together: https://archidekt.com/decks/11168474/kros_group_hug?sort=cmc&stack=custom
I wanted to ask group hug players: How would you go about building a deck like this? Do I have the right commander in mind for what I'm trying to accomplish? Does breaking parity on buffing up your opponent's creatures make any sense without stax pieces? Are there any suggestions as to what should be avoided here?
Hey everyone! I'm new into magic, it has been like 6 weeks since I started and I’m building my first 40-card deck using the green and red colors from a duskmourn bundle (this event is strictly 40 cards using the cards I got).
My plan is centered around ramp and creature synergy, with a focus on scaling to bigger threats while maintaining board control. I’ve put together a list (see below) but would love some feedback to help refine it and make sure I’m not missing key synergies or strategic improvements.
Here’s my current list of all cards (Red/green/colorless): https://pastebin.com/Ur6Tapju
And here is a prototype idea of the deck: https://pastebin.com/nTgH5HnN
Thank you a lot.
Hey folks, I was given Edgar Markov and a few combo pieces for Christmas, and I'm having trouble building around him. I have a ton of cards that seem like they'd be great, but I have too many for one deck and don't know what to cut.
I need to know what to cut from this decklist to make the best deck possible out of the cards I've got. I don't really know what's possible but I'd like to do some kind of life-gain/life-drain Aristocrats if that's doable.
Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.
What do you think this deck needs? More draw, ramp?
I have recently started playing again after 15 years, I have built a deck that I have yet to play just looking for thoughts and comments on the build. Thanks https://moxfield.com/decks/fJRlbP2YuUCgMbjKe-gRAA
Hi was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for my tolsimir friend to wold edh Deck .
It's the first deck I ever built and it's one of my favourites I've pulled it apart and rebuilt it a few times now . But my friends have been playing stronger decks lately a d it struggles to keep up . So I'm trying to bring it up a bit. I got some help from another subreddit the other day and made some changes but thought I might ask here to. Thanks

Mostly just wanted to share this deck I put together and have been playing in arena, no fucking way will I actually buy the damn thing but any feedback would be appreciated, its one of the first decks I've made
Sanguine and Exquisite I think would be the wincon, both out and any source of healing or dmg leads to syphon
Haven't made a deck from scratch before and I'm making a Rin and Seri deck as my first attempt. Anyone got any tips, feedback, recommendations?

I wanted to make a pseudo casual deck with redshift at its helm, and use as many of the new aetherdrift goblins as I could. the idea is a vehicle goblins deck. I'm currently experiencing issues with the speed (heh) that this deck works at, as I have heard that turn 10 is usually the last turn in an edh game. any suggestions? please and thank you.
I pulled two Edgars from innistrad remastered and I'm trying to build a budget deck around him. I have a few vampirea like [[Olivia the Crimson Blade]] , [[Drana, Liberator of Malakir]] , [[Drana, the Last Bloodchief]] , [[Dusk Legion Duelist]]
