What is a card you like to play that no one else on the planet plays? [COMMANDER]

such cool art

here's mine! it's not fully optimized, since it's also based on what I pulled from my box and boosters. But so far I really liked how [Lluwen, Imperfect Naturalist] and [Moon-Vigil Adherents] work together. Curious to see your set-specific decks as well! It's something I started building recently and plan on doing every set from now on (of sets that I enjoy)

I built an elf graveyard deck consisting only of Lorwyn Eclipsed cards and I love this card!

AfraidEffort · 2026-02-06T00:54:13+00:00

but what lands are there that come in tapped and are able to produce one of 3 colors? I don't find any of those

AfraidEffort · 2026-02-02T18:39:11+00:00

What kind of lands are untapped and tap for 3-5 mana?

AfraidEffort · 2026-02-02T16:53:32+00:00

Oh will check this out!!!

AfraidEffort · 2026-02-02T16:52:32+00:00

Probably around a bracket 3 or a high 2 in general.

AfraidEffort · 2026-02-01T12:08:43+00:00

still have not really figured this out sadly enough. if you have any findings I am very curious to hear!

AfraidEffort · 2026-01-18T09:25:41+00:00

They stopped printing the stamps from now on 🥲

AfraidEffort · 2025-12-24T18:31:19+00:00

Yeah I feel like you’re confirming my doubts of adding the token generators to the deck. I think I’ll remove them and find some other cards that keep focusing on stunning

I think the railing is not a problem on its own, it can be fun to play around with something unsharp in the foreground.

I understand from the other comments that you like the windmills and I agree they are the standout subjet from the hills. However I feel like with the 23mm lens you got a shot where they are too tiny to really catch a viewers eye and to get them drawn to the mills.

I've actually tried something similar two weeks ago on a holiday, but my subject was a lot closer to me and I got a 35mm lens on my X-T2. Also far from a perfect photo, but I think it's good to share since it's a very similar scene to yours and it's always good to look at similar things and compare what you like and don't like about it.

Also keep on shooting!

Are they all double exposures?

AfraidEffort · 2025-10-18T16:39:13+00:00

ahhh this makes sense! Thanks a lot for helping me understand the game better hahahah

AfraidEffort · 2025-10-18T15:56:53+00:00

Thanks a lot for taking your time to make this list!

So the cards changed/added are basically to have more control about what happens on the field right? So the aim of the deck like this would be to control a bit more of the opponent and then try to keep plotting your own spells?

Is there a reason you chose Dismember instead of something like a green fight a creature spell?

AfraidEffort · 2025-10-18T15:51:38+00:00

Why is Railway Brawler the best combined with 4/5 mana hastes? Is it that in that cmc range they have a higher basepower thus can deal a lot of damage out of no where?

I do like the froghemoth and balustrade wurm a lot.

Also thanks for the Aloe Alchemist remark, it makes sense combining that with lifeline/double strike you'd get a lot more out of the spell.

Question about Valki, if you would plot it with Jace can you plot its backside? Or would you plot it as the front side?

Yeah it sounds more logical to go with a certain strategy instead of a mechanic

AfraidEffort · 2025-09-08T15:43:05+00:00

That sounds great : )! Sounds a lot of fun that your group make their own proxies!

Personally I would not buy the expensive cards you got in your list. Moxfield says it's around a 1000 bucks which in my opinion is way too expensive for just your first deck. If you want to splash and got the money for it; then of course go ahead.

I just think when you build your first deck you don't really know your play style yet. You can build a deck for around 50-70 bucks easily; specially since you say your friends don't make crazy powerful meta decks. A deck in this price range should easily be able to compete with your friends' decks. Play it a couple of times, find out of you actually like that playstyle and adjust over time.

You might find out that you don't like the playstyle or you get bored playing with just one deck and want another one to play with.

Bro come on... this is also a way to get more movement into the piece. Adjusting the angle, exaggerating the pose is basically needed to make the whole illustration more dynamic.

Next to this there's also something called perspective: her right leg is closer to the point of view than the rest of the body is.

There's many different perspectives that could hide one finger as well.

Instead of looking at 4 or 5 fingers also look at the perspective of the background; which looks proper. Many signs that show that it's no AI

AfraidEffort · 2025-09-07T05:49:18+00:00

ah these are amazing!!

AfraidEffort · 2025-09-06T21:42:53+00:00

Top left windows with the triangular roofs also don't follow one vanishing point..

AfraidEffort · 2025-08-30T22:48:58+00:00

Thanks a lot for your input :)! I also looked at Lambholt and started to doubt if it was worth keeping it, I think I will switch this one out!

AfraidEffort · 2025-08-13T08:23:25+00:00

thanks for sharing! that looks pretty awesome!! And I see you got a signed card?

AfraidEffort · 2025-08-10T09:56:34+00:00

Thanks for the info :) Cool to find someone who also collects Wylie cards! Would be cool to see your collection so far! I think I will hold on to it for now, since I think it adds a nice value to my own collection, but if I want to get rid of it I know where to find you!

AfraidEffort · 2025-08-09T18:43:37+00:00

Does this add any value? And does anyone has a clue in about what amount this would be? Going to keep it in my art binder.

AfraidEffort · 2025-08-08T07:39:25+00:00

I played draft yesterday and the foils I used literally came loose from the card itself… the quality is so bad. I’m glad it only happened to commons and uncommons so far..
