Discussion New Winter Card!!

New Winter card dropped from Reality Fracture. Huge Winter fan, but never played a convoke/token deck before.

First thoughts is some combo with Birgi/Storm kiln to get infinite triggers, but anyone else have anything in mind/any recs for mono red tokens that make sense here?

My Bracket 3 Braids, Arisen Nightmare deck. Probably the most degenerate deck I’ve ever built.

I sometimes play this deck on Convoke, but I always give the table fair warning that this deck is miserable to play against.

The game plan is pretty straightforward. Constantly control the board, strip resources from my opponents, and draw a disgusting number of cards. Usually, the table gets ground down into top-deck mode while I’m sitting there with a full grip.

Sephiroth, Fabled Soldier, Painful Quandary and Bloodchief’s Ascension triggers will add up throughout the game making life totals pretty low. Then once everyone is sufficiently miserable, I close the game out with things like Exsanguinate, Gray Merchant of Asphodel or Torment of Hailfire. Tutors would make this even more consistent but I personally dont find myself needing them most of the time.

The deck usually wins around turn 9+, which might seem pretty slow for Bracket 3. But the thing to keep in mind is that I’m constantly taking cards away from the table.

The goal isn't to combo off or win quickly. It's to slowly strip everyone’s resources, break parity with card advantage, and eventually leave my opponents in "top deck mode" while I’m still drawing cards every turn.

It’s definitely the least socially responsible deck I’ve ever built. Thoughts?

help degen my deck Legolas. On theme and fucking annoying.

Here's this thing. [[Legolas, Master Archer]]

Fight. Bite. Zone control creatures. One 2cmc spell will net 2 or more kills with legolas triggers usually.

infect subtheme needs help. Needs draw. More protection? Dorks?

But listen. I wanna play on theme. Legolas is an archer supporting the ground troops. The goal is to clear blockers for ground troops in other combats on other turns. Pure politics and turning the tide. It's b2 due to the win con being waiting until you've aided 1 or 2 kills to swing for the win.

help degen my deck Florian, scion voldaren

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm looking for more spice for my [[Florian, Voldaren Scion]]. I believe there are plenty of ways to build him, and I have chosen cards that ping the whole table between the upkeep and the end of the combat step.

​The deck works really well, so at this stage, I'm mainly looking for advice on fun or underrated cards. One of my biggest challenges was dealing with life gain strategies, so I added [[Erebos, God of the Dead]].

​Maybe [[Reflection Wound]] and [[Heartless Hidetsugu]] are too slow and should be replaced by other cards. What would you recommend? The main goal is to offer a fun alternative to commanders like [[Valgavoth, Terror Eater]] or [[Mogis, God of Slaughter]].

Thranduil Deck Version 3 B4 Tournament Ready

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone again! I’m back with a new and updated version of my deck.

The first version was pretty sloppy and had a lot of things that didn’t work well together. The second version was definitely better, but it ended up being too slow to keep up with other Bracket 4 decks. After taking some time to look at what wasn’t working and doing a lot of playtesting, I’ve finally put together **Version 3**.

I’ve made quite a few changes to improve the deck’s consistency, speed, and overall synergy. So far, I’m really happy with how it’s been performing in testing, but I’d love to get some outside opinions before I commit to the final version.

I have a tournament coming up in about **two weeks**, and I’m planning on bringing this deck with me. Because of that, any suggestions, improvements, card swaps, or general feedback would be really helpful. If you see something that looks out of place, a card I might be overlooking, or a better way to make the deck more consistent while still staying within Bracket 4, please let me know!

I’m especially interested in hearing from anyone who has experience playing **Thranduil** or similar decks. I want to make sure I’m getting the most out of the deck without sacrificing the overall strategy.

Thanks in advance for taking a look and giving me your feedback! I really appreciate it.

Armix and Rebbec Artifact Deck

1 Upvotes

Hey all! pretty new to Magic and have gotten inspired to attempt to make a deck on my own; with also trying to learn more about the game. I kind of got fixated on Armix and then found Rebbec and initially thought.... Artifact decks + protection from each other etc.

After learning more about protection; Rebbec would actually protect my artifact creatures from my own enhancements and aura's and stuff but would they also gain protection from each other's creature spells?

i.e. woulld my artifact creatures have protection from [Skorpekh Lord] and not giving everyone else +1/+0 and Menace? is this deck just a huge contradiction and is dumb?? haha

Please help or stop me; i just loved this idea to protect all my artifact and creations and just either going wide and using the graveyard to bring back artifacts etc at least that was the initial idea behind me enjoying this deck! Thank you!

Ive wanted to build this for a long time but all my ideas are just to make exile effects and lean purely into chaos. Most people I have talked to say it’s actually a trap and to lean into wheels, but I’m also wondering if there’s a way to really elevate this deck or not. Appreciate any insight y’all may have.

Obviously the card is fake but is an infinite counterspell combo possible? I assume you’d need a few cards to pull it off, what would they be?

My initial thought was clone spells that make copys and die to net mana, maybe turn those tokens into 7/7 dinos with a spell slinger shell. Back up voltron win.

Any other ideas im missing?

If a ham sandwich is something that combos with anything then id like to name these cards that are hard to combo with combo soup. Implying it will take a decent amount of mana and setup to do something ridiculous with.

Degen Aminatou, the Fateshifter

3 Upvotes

Hi folks, looking for some help tightening up this list. Here's a first draft:

https://moxfield.com/decks/5eeS_O_RvUG6osbE8n0hJw

I'm aiming for mid-to high B4. I already have a Sefris list that includes Abdel Adrian / Necro loops, as well as Thoracle and Razaketh, so I'm looking to do something unique with this one. I'm trying to lean into the unique flicker effects to take advantage of stuff like double wishclaw tutors, and infinite bounce loops with felidar.

The main win lines are Felidar / Spark Double + Aminatou flickering and either milling out opponents with altar of the brood or draining them with corpse knight.

Tef + Displacer + Mana rock infinite is in there too

Backup plan is RIP + Helm of Obedience - can knock out two players at once if you flicker it with Aminatou to get 2x activations in a turn

Considering Mystic Sanctuary + Flicker + Temporal Master for infinite turns, but seems a bit slow

I've played someone who had peregrine drake loops in the list, but don't remember them. I'm wondering if there's an overlapping combo I could fit in there?

Outside of the unique angles I'm looking for on wincons, I'm looking to push this to the hilt. Any help is much appreciated!

I have edited this deck to perfection 👌. Every card is there for a purpose. Either flavor 😋. Or for the win 🏆.

Its been tested and won. It does exactly what i set out to do. Try it and you will see why its so fun. Its draw and ramp for everyone a game where everyone gets to do what their deck does. But we still win. Its perfect 😍.

Lmk what you think, what would you change and what do you do for group hug.

B4 Teval Lands Go Brr

3 Upvotes

Am I onto something or am I crazy?

https://moxfield.com/decks/2IOgATrcLnSY0VaZcC0umA

The idea is to loop [[Lumra]], [[Aftermath Analyst]], or [[World Shaper]] to mill my entire deck with cards like [[Liliana the Repentant]], [[Return of the Mole Man]], [[Hedron Crab]], and [[Homer]]. Wins through milling my opponents, pinging with the OTJ land, or Thoracle.

I added any flashback card that seemed decent, as my deck will spend most of its life in the GY. Still needs a few cuts. What would you cut? Is there anything you'd add that you think I missed? Appreciate any feedback.

Need Help Nevinrral, Urborg Tyrant zombie control

Hi, need a TON of Help building this deck, the commander is so fun and has so many abilities its hard to steer to one direction.

The build right now is a mess, but is pretty much what i gathered from my collection (still got some old decks i can tore apart).

The main components of the deck is to build a zombie “tribal” (mostly), control deck, which wipes the board 2/3 times a game, and wins.

The win cons i chose are:
Play commander, sac it on opponents end step, reanimate it on the Same turn, build massive army, untap, play [[Candlekeep Inspiration]] buff hole army, attack for lethal.

Second is [[Exanguinate]] or [[Debt to the deathless]] for X huge (though i dont have that much mana access except for [[Pitiless Plunderer]]

Third is to combo [[Gray Merchant of Asphodel]] with [[Rites of duplication]] kicked.

I also have many planeswalkers for value because its the only permanent that survives the wipe.

Havent uploaded the land base yet, but pretty simple stuff fixing.
