Need Help Upgrading My Endless Punishment Precon (Mostly Mana Base)

Hey everyone! I've been working on my Endless Punishment Commander deck and recently added some new cards to make it more consistent, but I haven’t really touched the land base yet. I feel like that’s probably the next step to making it stronger. Any advice on what lands to include or general suggestions to improve the deck?

Heres my decklist:

Marrow-Gnawer EDH deck I am having trouble changing a card out

I have a rat deck that I am constantly changing here and there. One of the cards I want to change is wave of rats, I want to change it to a few rats that might fit. The problem is I just don't know which one fits better.

I've also put my deck list in here so that it can be checked to see which sits better

https://manabox.app/decks/rBj_Pt1eQ16J-bRlOlrZZw

Card I'm changing

[[Wave of rats]]

The selection is

[[Tangled colony]]

[[Crypt rats]]

[[Nashi, Moon Sage's Scion]]

Please note I have since changed it out for tangled colony

Building a standard deck based on my draft pulls

I recently drafted duskmourn and built an aggro arabella/Jolly balloon man deck. I'd like to build a standard deck based around them for casual play at my lgs. We don't have a big standard scene, so I'd like to get involved to help boost the numbers and to take part in the casual standard events.

This is what I've come up with: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/VpmA9CLcEUevHZtPXNYlIA

Hoping to get some pointers from the deck building community to see what I've missed/what I I can improve on. Thanks!

Mono green Staples?

I was planning on building a voltron deck around [[Thrun, Breaker of Silence]]. Obviously, I have a lot of ramp cards, and counter increasers, but I don't know if there are any real staples that I should be running.

Any advice for my golgari aristocrats edh deck?

It’s fun but its a total slog. I don’t really like the commander as its just a value piece but i was looking for one that wasn’t super popular. I floated the idea of slimefoot and squee, though. let me know what you think.

Help building my first deck - Lathril

I just started getting in to MTG for the first time and have been playing an old precon I had bought a couples year ago.

One of the guys in my playgroup gave me a [[Marwyn, the Nurturer]] and I started researching decks and decided to incorporate that card into a [[Lathril, Blade of the Elves].

I want to lean into more of a voltron style. My ideal strategy would be to get Lathril really strong, and swing for player damage to create lots of tokens. I am still new to deck building so I just want to see if their are any big obvious changes I should make before I buy the cards.

Any general criticism or specific card swaps would be greatly appreciate!

I am generally trying to keep this on the budget side of things. I'd prefer cards to be less than 5 dollars, however I can make exceptions for really impactful cards. However more than $10 or so for a card is above my personal limit.

Beginner player looking for help with Zinnia Deck

https://www.archidekt.com/decks/9609212/trying_this_again

This is my Zinnia decklist. It is upgraded from the precon and I have not bought the upgrades yet. I thought it would be smart to ask the experts for some advice on any glaring issues first before ordering the cards. My budget is pretty middle of the road, no Mondrak, ojer taq, or anointed processions but I don't mind spending 15-20 aud for a card that changes the experience of this deck. Any help is so so so appreciated, thank you :))

New to Deck building, need help executing a dumb idea.

So, in an sleep deprived act of nonsense, I ordered every version of Ajani's Planeswalker cards I don't have, and got the idea to build a Commander Deck around them, so a Red, White, and Green Cat Deck, but I know next to nothing about magic. Who would be a good commander for the theme, and what are some cards to be on the hunt for? I can probably make some attempt with what I have, or will have, once I get the other Ajani cards.

Help polishing up a Sliver EDH deck

Howdy,

I play in a casual commander league where the max budget for a deck is $225 (cheapest version of cards, TCGP lowest). I’m working on getting a Sliver list going with Morophon as the commander. Through goldfishing, the deck feels very slow, so just looking for ways to make things a bit more efficient.

Some considerations I’ve already made -

-Adding something like Enduring Vitality and/or Cryptolith rites to complement the mana dork slivers and have a higher chance of ramping early

-Something like Sensei’s Diving Top to let me manipulate with Realmwalker better (and also trying to find more Realmwalker like effects, I know there’s Icon of Ancestry, but doesn’t seem super efficient)

-Swapping Morophon with Sliver Hivelord, but the Morophon value especially with Fist of Suns and the new leyline out are pretty good. The First Sliver is also a consideration, but I’d have to change my curve a good bit for it to hit more on the cascades.

Really anything that could help churn through and get a better, more consistent start would be helpful, so hopefully those of you who play a similar deck might be able to chime in.

Here’s my current list:

Marina Vendrell Deck Advice

I've been playing MTG for a few months and I tend to only make commanders that I find unique and interest, but they're usually hard to build. This is my first WUBRG commander, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to balance colors and mana production, as well as figuring out wincons. I would really appreciate some help, I've been on this one for while. Thanks!

Here is the decklist:

Branching out from Simic Landfall

Hello everyone!

I'm a relatively new player when it comes to my MTG knowledge. I've been playing commander on tabletop simulator with my friends for a while but I've only been netdecking, and have a relatively small knowledge base on what cards there are in the game. Coming from YuGiOh, I was a HEROs player through and through. The goal of HEROs is basically to combo monster effects to search for key cards, summon monsters, and fusion them into bigger, game-winning threats.

In Magic, I've taken that love of HEROs and turned it into being a Simic landfall player. Just being able to do a ton of draw, place down like 3-4 lands per turn and watch all of my effects trigger for each one is so fun. But after playing it a ton I want to branch out into something new! Are there any non-simic/non-landfall commanders that would give that same feeling? My favorite part of Magic is just getting my gimmick off at some point in the game, regardless of winning (but ofc winning is fun), so just looking for something that fills that void that isn't Simic landfall would be sick :)

Any and all suggestions are much appreciated !

Help Me Choose an EDH Deck

I sold some cards to CardKingdom, so I'm gonna be getting some store credit and I wanted to splurge and get a more "expensive" EDH deck in paper. I have two decks that I'm deciding between but I'm not sure which one I should get first. Looking at the lists which one in general seems more playable?

The Feather deck is a somewhat altered version of the Feather deck used in Shuffle Up N' Play. The Anafenza deck was made my myself.

Spellslinger deck

Crafted up a Jeskai Spellslinger, Kykar or Hinata can be the commander depending on the mood.

A few creatures I put in there just to make it playable so don't judge too harshly Though any ideas on cuts or additions? Thanks in advance!

PS. Bribery will be going to a Marchesa deck even though it's a solid spell :(

Struggling with My Kenrith Commander Deck - Need Some Advice!

Hey everyone! I’ve been running a [[Kenrith, the Returned King]] deck that originally started as the Painbow precon deck from Dominaria United. Over time, I’ve upgraded it and made a lot of changes. Overall, it’s been performing well, and it’s on par with the power level of the decks my playgroup uses, so no complaints there!

However, I’ve been having trouble with my maybeboard. I have a long list of cards that I regularly swap in and out, but I’m never fully convinced about the changes. I always feel like I’m leaving out cards that should probably be in the main deck, or I keep cards in that I should remove but just can’t decide.

Has anyone else gone through this? How do you decide on what to keep and what to cut? I’d love some advice because I’m feeling a bit stuck and want my deck to feel more cohesive. Thanks in advance!

Lathril, Blade of Elves

Hi all! I'm getting back into MTG and I want to build my first EDH deck. I used to run a modern Abzan Elves deck back in the day and I want to build off that for this.

It's been a long time since I've done any deckbuilding and I was hoping someone could help me out.

Some old favorites I'm looking to run are: Shaman of the Pack Elvish Arch Druid Cord of Calling Foul Tongue Shriek Kindred Summoning

(Lathril, Blade of Elves will be the commander obviously)

Does anyone have a decklist in mind I can go off of?

Help Me Cook! Creating A Food-Centric Commander Deck

Extremely new player here looking to grab myself a casual commander deck to play with the friends. I'm really digging Ygra's vibes and with a bit of suggestion from the friend group have slapped together something resembling a deck. It is, of course, far from perfect so I figured it'd be prudent to poke my head in here and get y'all's opinions!

I'm open to any and all suggestions but I don't really want to get too competetive with the deck. Just looking for something playable, sturdy and ideally fun for the table! Thanks in advance!

https://manabox.app/decks/AeKIlbcQTP-ZiE7fKA0GFg

In addition to your general suggestions, I had a few specific worries:

Is there enough ramp and draw? Too much?

Does Ygra have enough protection? I feel like Ygra and her ability are very important to this deck and I worry that things will unravel if she is removed often.

I feel like there's a strong secondary theme of +1/+1 counters from some cards (and of course Ygra herself). Is it okay to have cards that pivot into and capitalize off of them like The Ozolith and Innkeeper's Talent?

How many multi-colored lands in a commander deck

I'm building a few 4-5 color edh decks and am wondering how many basics should i be running compared to multi colored. Hypothetically running 10 shocks 10 fetches 10 duels and whatever other bond lands or something would be the BEST, but what is really necessary? Am I fine running a few fetches and shocks or should I run 7+ of each? That type of thing

Any recommendations to this Eowyn deck?

Hello,

This is my first deck build!

Do you have any suggestions regarding Land amount Or maybe the amount of creatures?

Do you think there is a way to make it faster and more reliable?

Do you think the mana curve is right or that it should include more lands?

Need help with my 3 Dogs deck

I'm looking to add [Flawless Maneuver] & [Clever Concealment] to my EDH boros wide aura deck but I'm having a hard time deciding what to cut (please don't say lands, I'm already 1 land under my comfort zone).

Besides those two inclusions is there any interesting changes that I could do to the deck? Not looking to add expensive cards, but any interesting synergistic cards would be welcome!

Attempted a Death Toll Upgrade. In Need Of Advice & Feedback.

Tried my hand at upgrading the Deathtoll Precon. Didn't want to lean into non-permanents, as no way to get them back, but wanted lots of multi-type cards, including adding Battles.

Lots of people seemed to think [[Izoni, Center of the Web]] was a great add, but collecting evidence to get 2x token creatures... I'd rather use Winters ability to exile for target creatures.

But a few adds might be questionable, but looking for help and feedback please. Any top switches you'd make on my deck. Many thanks in advance all!
