What can I build tool?

Hi,

I was wondering if there are any tools where I can put in my collection of cards, and it will spit out different decks or archetype decks I can possibly build, with a % of how many of the cards I have?

I play both modern and commander, and I am tired of looking through decklist after decklist to sit and try to look what I can build.

Another random question: what format can we play as 3players? We tried with totem, but often ran into trouble of which totem to take life from when e.g. Bloodchiefs ascension triggered.

Pioneer White/Blue heroic. Need advice

Hey there, I recently came back to magic and wanted to mess around with some old cards I have.
I came up with this list https://www.moxfield.com/decks/NUZRcFVxN0uiYYe6wojWRg. Number of cards in deck, sideboard and in consideration are exactly these as these are exactly cards I own. My problem here is that without excessive testing I can't determine relative power level of cards I put in deck and those in sideboard and consideration. Maybe I would better replacing some of them?
Anyway, would appreciate any advice!

Marionette Master - Pioneer Deck

Hello!
I am a casual player who plays friendly games with 3 friends on the weekends :)
I have a half-prepared deck, and I wanted it to be based around sacrificing artifacts and creatures/artifact to kill players using "Marionette Master".

Keep in mind that we play pioneer (more less) and that we play 4-player games, free for all (Sometimes we also play 2vs2)

The deck I've put together is intended to last on the board, creating servo artifacts and then sacrificing them to deal damage with "Marionette Master."

There are other win conditions, but essentially that would be the point.

Any advice or additions?

Keep in mind that we play friendly games, we know how to play and we are aware of the meta, but in these games, we try to use different or fun strategies.

Any advice will be welcome. Thank you!

Here is the deck:

Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad / Deck Help / Power Level Curiosity

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/YYB7dSMjSkWcL5A9o5XRnQ

I am building a deck for when Altaïr comes out in a few months. I’ve been changing it and working on it for a good bit now and wanted opinions. It’s built as a tribal assassin deck, hence the large number of creatures. I’m also curious where some might rank this in power level because I’m trying to make it around 8 if possible, just because that’s the level of the pod I play in most often. Wanting a deck that I love, but I also don’t want to be folded at the table. Power level isn’t the most important thing though. Mostly just want to see what others would do to streamline it. Budget is pretty rigid, not wanting to go more than $100 over its current price (TCG price)

Help with [[Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief]] EDH Deck

I'm just getting started with EDH deck building and could use some advice. I'm working on a mutate-centered deck featuring Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief. My idea is to capitalize on Ivy's ability to copy mutate and other effects, but I'm struggling to narrow down my card choices while trying to improve the over all speed and power of the deck.

I'm aiming to build a physical deck for some regular Magic games with a local group. While I don't want to break the bank, I'm more interested in creating a deck that's effective rather than strictly budget-friendly. Any help you can offer on which cards to include or eliminate would be very much appreciated.

Xavier Sal Commander Deck Help

Inspired by the latest MTG story I have set out to make a Jace/Vraska themed deck and I'm using [[Xavier Sal, Infested Captain]] as the commander and am looking to make it a proliferate and populate deck with a pirates and planeswalker subtheme. I need help finishing the deck by making sure it can run consistently. By nature the deck is pretty planeswalker heavy so Xavier's proliferate ability will be key but I'm having trouble figuring out a way to consistently have creatures to sac to his ability. Any tips on how to clean this list up?

Here is the link to what I am looking at so far: https://www.archidekt.com/decks/7243825/and_they_were_shipmates

Help with [[Aragorn, Hornburg Hero]] EDH Deck

Hello! I am helping a friend build a [[Aragorn, Hornburg Hero]] EDH deck. We've put together the following deck list on Moxfield:

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/5_8Z80xWj0-scXlG2r2KmA

We are feeling pretty good about what we've put together, but we wanted to run it by more experienced eyes. I've never built a counter-based deck, and I would love some advice on how to tell if I have a good balance of card types.

Any suggestions for cuts or additions would be greatly appreciated!

Best multi-colored cards for each 2 and 3 color combination

this post was submitted to the casualmtg subreddit but that sub seems to not have any activity from the mods so it never got approved so i'm posting it here:

hello

i'm going to preface this by saying i'm a poor casual player but i try to keep my decks modern legal to make it easier to stay within a format (it makes sense in my head to do that but i can't explain why)

as the title implies, what would you say are the best cards for each 2 and 3 color combination that are modern legal with an emphasis on being cheap (like <$5 for a price point)? also if it helps, i like simpler, straight forward cards better than ones with complicated text or ones that require a lot of build around (think cards like lightning bolt, terminate, vindicate, etc)

also this is NOT for edh (i barely ever play and right now i have one of the newer pre-con decks and i'm not planning on upgrading it or buying/making any other edh decks) but i had to say that because google searches seem to only ever find me posts/decks/etc related to edh (not to bash anyone who plays edh more than i do but there are other formats out there that people might be looking for)

thank you in advance for any help/advice. if i could find this information from googling it, i wouldn't have had to make a post about it lol

Riders of Rohan Deck Help

So, I recently got into magic and bought the Riders of Rohan precon as my first deck. Recently, I’ve been trying to upgrade it a bit and I bought some recommended cards and a few lotr packs to help me do so, but I’m having trouble deciding which cards to add or remove...

[https://www.moxfield.com/decks/S7P2_ltixk68J1GQfH6VOQ](Here is the deck list.) All the extra cards are on the sideboard section. Thanks for the help in advance!

Also if you have a few extra cards I should order online that helps this deck a lot, that would be great too!

Help with Modern deck (8FB)

I wanted to make a meme deck to play at my local Magic club.

The deck is called Eight Fucking Bears (8FB) and it centers around using [[Mechanized Production]] to enchant [[Grizzly Bears]] (which is turned into an artifact by [[Encroaching Mycosynth]] or the such). This deck only wins by having eight artifact bears at the beginning of upkeep.

I know that it wont perform well whatsoever, but I want it to run as best as it possibly can. Is there any cards I am missing to make this deck more optimal? How many of each card should I be running?

Murder at Karlov Manor deck help

Hey everyone, I recently got a boatload of MKM cards from a friend and I have the strong urge to build a few standard decks out of it and an EDH one too. I've decided I want to have Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods as the commander in the EDH deck, but I am terrible at deck building. I have put a bunch of cards with disguise in there, but I am kind of stuck after that. For the standard decks I was think dimir and boros. Are there any good websites where I can look up decks people have already made with only the karlov manor cards? Or should I just do trial and error?

Upgrading precons help!

Hi!

Got in commander last year and I've bought two precons to start. Since then, I've built three deck, and my precons are collecting dust because they are juste not good enough. I would like to make them playable, and would be wlling to spend between 50 to 100$ per deck. I find upgrading is really harder then creating a deck.

My precons are : food and fellowship (Frodo and Sam, is actually not too bad) and Calgar/Fairfax from 40k (which is really bad).

Would appreciate any help!

Elephun with Quintorious Loremaster

This deck has been a little project of mine for the past week and I've finally completed a provisional list, the main aim of this deck is to surround [[Quintorius, Loremaster]] with lots of planeswalkers and use spirits to go wide.

Some key pieces to get cards into the graveyard include various wheels, e.g. [[Wheel of Misfortune]] as well as [[Queen Kayla bin-Kroog]] as another value engine and to help ramp along

General budget aims to sit between £200-£300, to fit with my local LGS standard of not being too early game winning but still able to put up a decent fight

Despite this strategy the deck needs polishing, such as improving ramp, overall wincons, and any other advice would be appreciated.

Need help with newbie deck Tormod & Ravos

I'm new to the game and I'm trying to make my first own (zombie) deck with Tormod & Ravos as commanders. However for past few days I've been a little bit overwhelmed when it comes to cutting amount of cards to 100 from 117, could someone more experienced tell me what would be best to remove?

I think it's a tribal deck with bits of aristocrat strategy. I have 7 draw cards (not counting getting cards from graveyard) and 11 ramp spells. Lands are not final.

Kellan the Kid Deck Win Con?

As the title suggests, I'm trying to build a Kellan deck and I'm struggling to think of a win con. This is my first commander deck that I've built, so I've read all the stuff about what ratios of removal, ramp, buff, etc. and I have plenty of those. My focus is all around casting cards from places other than the hand with a good chunk of ETB as well. Any ideas?

I need help with my life gain trigger Dina, Soul Steeper Commander deck

Link to the deck: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/R619Yv3EJkirMiDJXlfaaA

I've been working on this deck for a while and I can't get it to work consistently. The basic idea is multiple life gain triggers for lots of damage. At first I had different sources of life gain triggers like landfall, death, and ETB, but then I found it better to stack multiple sources of the same trigger so I switched to mainly ETB and death life gain triggers. That gave it a lot more late game combo potential, but then it needed more recursion, removal, and card draw. Added that and now, it's still just not very consistent. Sometimes it performs great and other times I don't draw life gain trigger cards and can't get anything going. Dina is by far my least consistent commander deck and I'm not sure if it's just because of how difficult it is to get all the needed combo pieces or if I can build this better.
