Black Panther - Help with deck building

https://www.archidekt.com/decks/10463378/black_panther

I'm trying to build Black panther deck based on landfall and +1/+1 counters. I chose cards that generate tokens for free as much as possible and I avoided enchants and sorceries as they do not trigger Black Panther's ability. Deck can operate with or without commander which I like. Do you have any other suggestions on how to improve this deck?

Feedback on Satoru with Yuriko as alternate commander

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/uTdCMm0jhUmeUiTQKbGNOw

Very casual group that I play with, and most games are upgraded precons. I’ve been playing for a few months now and I wanted to make a few changes to my Satoru deck. I don’t want to include any instant wins (blightsteel) as I like having friends. Trying to keep a mostly ninja tribal so I can sub in Yuriko as commander to change it up a bit. This is my first homebrew deck so I’m not super confident in my ratio of creatures/non permanents. If some more experienced deck builders could give their thoughts I’d appreciate it.

Shorikai, Genesis Engine - Deck Feedback (Commander)

Hi all,

Here i have 2 decks that both use Shorikai as a commander. The first one uses vehicles and the second uses creatures. Could anyone please give me as much feedback as they can on each and tell me which one is the better option as i can only really afford to purchase one at the moment.

The first deck requires 5 cards to be cut and im not sure which ones.

First Deck (Vehicle) - https://www.moxfield.com/decks/v_c1ZJePBkOgCJE5BaoD3g

Second Deck (Creature) - https://www.moxfield.com/decks/NM69ZqYLSU24okP6pPWpRQ

[EDH] Arabella token deck. Feedback and suggestions needed.

I tried to cobble up my leftover cards from my [[Winota]] deck and some leftover Boros cards from breaking my [[Zinnia]] deck. This is what I came up with:

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/-Mnq1wuqH0CVpxwlXSDZmA

My goal was to create a token burn deck with Arabella. I was tired of being scared so I thought I am just going to take as many with me as possible so I played very recklessly.

I did manage to field test it tonight at my LGS and this was the result:

Game 1: Took out 2 players, died from the last guy.

Game 2: Last person standing. Ran out of steam. The last person got a [[Gisella , Blade of Goldnight]] That basically made my pings useless.

Game 3: Game ended when I had around 20 odd creatures, about to create more with [[Rabble Rousing]] , and swing them all. [[ Iroas, God of Victory]] was on the field thus it was safe and on my 2nd main phase I planned to sacrifice everything to [[Goblin Bombardment]]. [[Solphim]] was my hideaway card.

Game 4: I felt bad. It was just one swing after another with the tokens that I held back on the 2nd game against the other 2 players. One was running a [[Bello]] and the other was a [[Dihada]]. They took their time having blockers and the presence of [[Charismatic Conqueror]] made the Bello player's mana dorks enter tapped to deny me my vampires.

Game 5: Had a board running, too many things going on. Last game for the night thus I tuned out especially after a board wipe. The ending was the bello guy got crazy with [[Mirror March]] and some other card to buff his guys and took out the other 2. Sent 2 160/160 with trample my way. I cast [[Deflecting Palm]]. Apparently it killed both of us and no one won. I am happy with that result.

Upgrade Plan: Try to probably transfer some cards from my other deck especially the expensive lands and some other spells and creatures (see considering section of moxfield deck list).

I will also try to replace [[Ajahni, Nacatl Pariah]], [[Skrelv's Hive]], [[Mentor of the meek]], and [[Prosperous Partnership]], [[Squee, Dubious Monarch]].

The possible replacements/additions I have in mind are [[Ojer Axonil]], [[Zurzoth]], [[Brimaz , King of Orezkos]] , and [[Cavalcade of Calamity]], and [[Hanweir Garrison]].

I am a bit unsure about [[Mass Hysteria]] but [[Fervor]] is kinda hard to find at my local stores.

Commander choice: Arabella seems fine but sometimes I wonder if I should focus on the pings and have something like [[Anim Pakal]] and try to buff my creatures with something like [[Cathars' Crusade]] thus possibly buffing Ojer Axonil but I am leaning towards letting creatures remain small so I don't have to redo the deck.

Possible Path: I am looking into something like [[Caesar]] or [[Isshin]] and what bringing black and black aristocrat pieces in the future should I be bored of this. Something along the lines of [[Mirkwood Bats]] or [[Nadiers Nightblade]] and add stuff like [[Grave Pact]] or [[Dictates of Erebos]]. But for now I want to remain with Boros and see its limits.

End: Will appreciate Feedback and how I could make the deck as consistent and as nasty as possible.

Feedback on Glarb

Hello all! Looking for some advice for my Glarb reanimator deck. I'm trying to focus on the surveil mechanic to better support Glarb, dump a lot of creatures in the graveyard, and then pop them back on the battlefield to finish the game. Any help is appreciated.

Can someone help me look for a commander

Hey I was watching a tik tok on a guy who made a bloodborn theme edge deck and I’d love to try it but I really want to see if there are other commanders that would fit that specific theme or style I guess. I didn’t wanna copy the guy outright but I’d really like to explore other color options and all that if anyone has a suggestion I’d love to hear it!

In your opinion what is the most optimal two color land

Hello everyone I’m building a 4 color planeswalker deck with you guessed it Atraxa praetors voice as my commander. I’m having trouble deciding what non basic type I want to go with. Thought about using the ones that enter tapped and give life or some other benefit but I don’t want to slow myself down. I thought about using the lands that tap for two but return a land to your hand but that sounds like it would be even slower. I then thought about the non basic lands that tap for colorless or tap for either color and take a damage but I don’t want to help my opponents lower my life total. I do have some decent amount of life gain so it may not be an issue. For OCD purposes I’d like to use all the same two color non basic lands. I should also note I know my mana ratio and what color combos and how many of them I need.

Need help refining a colorless deck

My buddies and I just started getting into MTG. We bought precons and have been playing with those, but we’ve all started building our own deck. Was wondering if this deck I’ve made be any good or not. It’s a colorless Eldrazi themed deck. The whole point of my deck is to get my commander out as fast as possible, while the other creatures help destroy board state or will be big creatures to support my board. I have a lot of mana tapping artifacts because of just how expensive the creatures are.

I’d appreciate any help, suggestions, or comments!

First time making a deck, what cards could go for new ones coming in?

First time making my own deck, just ordered some cards and while they are on their way I need to stress over what to take out to make room. Its a commander deck and its themed (FF14 heavenward- knights teaming up with dragons) so its not too meta or anything but it will be my main deck for a while and I want to make it stronger. Ideally, the deck wouldnt be overrun with dragons and would have half knight and half dragon cards, but dragons seem to be what will give it more oomph and I cant find many good knight cards that help out dragons or are threats on their own. I also ordered a bunch of cards just to have lots of options and for when I want to try running the deck with a whole new team, also just to have a collection of similar cards- so I know that some will probably never see the light of day. I have some ideas on what to take out but any advice on which cards could make room for others would be appreciated. Also feel free to recommend some cards you think could fit and arent too pricey. The ones I have coming in are in the Coming in and Could be Skipped categories and the ones I've considered dumping are in Going Out and Can Live Without

Saruman of Many Colors deck, advice would be appreciated!

Tried my hand at putting together a Saruman of Many Colors deck, since I really love this card, but I haven't built many EDH decks myself so I am unsure how viable it is, I just want a kinda LOTR themed deck that actually works. Here is the link https://www.archidekt.com/decks/10540578/saruman_of_many_colours let me know your thoughts about it and what I could improve.

Thank you in advance!

First From Scratch Build

Hey all, i have been working on my first ever ground up edh deck. I've spent a bit over a month and a half reviewing, tweaking etc. And I'm pretty satisfied so far, but I wanted to see if anyone had any advice on upgrades or changes? I'm open to a lot of suggestions aside from changing the theme/color (Grixis/Theft). But i totally wouldn't mind some constructive criticism. So any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looking for advice on creature defector deck

I would like your help in tidying up my [[Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant]]deck that focuses on using defector creature. Cards like [[Xantcha, Sleeper Agent]],[[Slicer, Hired Muscle // Slicer, High-Speed Antagonist]] and [[Khârn the Betrayer]] just to name a few of them. I want to know if what I have here is synergistic, and focused to the theme. And any cards that I may have missed to better the list.

Feedback for Rowan

Haven't built a casual EDH deck for a while, did I downscale enough?

Lots of ways to win with my commander on the board, without her it's mainly Worldgorger combo lines.

Recommendations for a new edh deck

I have decided to make a new edh deck. Staring toggo, goblin weaponsmith and ich-tekik, salvage splicer as the commander duo. The plan is just throwing the rocks, made by toggo, thereby making ich-tekik huge. I am looking for general token and artifact good stuff. Any recommendations are kindly appreciated (especially the jank)

How can I improve this deck?

My boyfriend needs your help! 😂

I have a white/blue/green deck that is mostly angels and clerics and focuses on life gain and counters and 7/10 times I win. (Might be exaggerating but not by much.)

This is my boyfriend’s deck and he and my brother have basically banned me from playing my deck because they consistently lose to it. Help me make this deck better so it puts up a good fight! :)

For reference we don’t play any real play-style and just have fun.

The Goal of this deck is Spam mana, Get Protection on board (Shroud Flying, Death Touch, Vigilance, Double strike, Invincible etc) Then Get commander on board, Tutor Hivelord or other protection,

Then get sliver queen / Basal sliver

Once queen, Basal and protection is in play, Put every sliver in deck on board and create infinite Tokens, Sac, Infinite tokens for Infinite life then swing and kill all while in shroud with haste.

The Combos in this deck are:

Sliver Queen + Basal Sliver, Infinite Enter the battlefield triggers

Sliver Queen + Basal Sliver, + Lavabelly sliver, Infinite life and damage.

Sliver Queen + Mana Echoes, Infinite Slivers and Colorless mana

Sliver Queen + Manaweft or Gemhide Sliver + Intruder alarm, Infinite Slivers and Mana

Sliver Queen + Basal Sliver + Gemhide sliver + Heart Sliver, Infinite Slivers and Mana

Rings of Brighthearth + Grim Monolith, Infinite Colorless Mana

Infinite Colorless or Colored mana + Sliver Overlord, Infinite slivers, Mana, Damage, All Slivers in play, Infinite Ping, Infinite Lifegain etc......

Thassa's Oracle + Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact, Have no cards in Library, Go to draw and Win the Game!

Amoeboid Changeling + Sliver Overlord, Steal target permanent

Sliver Queen + Doubling season, Double the tokens for 2 mana, With Gemhide sliver or Mana weft sliver, that also equals infinate slivers!

Lines of Play, Enlightened tutor should only be used to get Mana Echoes or Intruder alarm to combo off,

always set up protection, Shroud, deathtouch, flying Ideally then Indestructible if possible before trying to cast your commander, If no Hivelord, Tutor him off Overlord before comboing off as protection from board wipes.

This deck has only 2 ways to recur combo pieces like sliver queen from graveyard, Reanimate and Gravemother through Encore and then it is exiled, so protection is a must!

Training grounds or Heartstone can also make comboing off for infinite etb or slivers and mana, colorless or colored, easier by reducing the ability cost and slivers that need to be tapped for mana from 2 to 1.

Only use scheming symmetry on a player that does not play blue to avoid counter magic or Stifle effects!

This is a very aggressive deck yes, Using slivers like Necrotic sliver or Amoeboid changeling to destroy or steal threats, and a commander than can tutor for toolbox answers like Harmonic sliver for Artifacts or Enchantment removal.

It can also be a fast combo deck with an impressive mana base, Thoracle, and Easy combos when the Queen is live that can out pace tempo decks and keep your head above water, Is slivers a Tier 1 Cedh Deck? The answer is NO, Can it beat them? Yes. While it is Hyper aggressive, it needs an infinite mana generator asap with commander on board or it can whiff, or lose to a combo like Ad Nauseum, Storm or Kinnan.

This decks Success is very Meta Dependent and should be tweaked potentially even with counter magic to keep viable as your personal meta shifts.

Still, Slivers has endless combo, Ramp potential and if Mana crypt and Jeweled Lotus becomes unbanned or more cheap, infinite mana engines are printed It's Viability only increases!
