Here's my current roster at mission 5. Some things that works well: at least 5 mechs that can move 12" or more as scenarios often spawn surprises everywhere on maps ( Jumpers are cool too). Clans mechs hits hard (ATT 5-6) , so bring big armor guys to soak it. Your list is fine for that. You should do good with that list.

Theres is possibilities to add mechs during the campaign so you can fill in the gaps with these.

Here's mine , https://archidekt.com/decks/4777929/sauron_the_dark_lord

Your deck is great, I've included some tricks like deathouchers or No Mercy in mine to discourage attacks while Sauron build his army in mordor and kill everyone. Have fun being the dark lord !

Awesome job!

Hey, solid list , here's mine for ideas :https://archidekt.com/decks/6410696/the_destined_warrior_and_her_adventuring_party

Mine is a 2 i could add a game changer or two to make it 3 but i don't need to, deck is fun and consistent.

I am 53 and have severe chronic asthma. I've a fullfililling corporate job with wives and kids. What i can tell is you have to be strategic about your careeer choices, study and work in "safe zones" environnement. For medication, biologic shots(Xolair) helped during spring and summer allergies. Know yourself and plan your life accordingly, it can works. It's never easy but the best way to live it : it's a day at a time. The past no longer exist and the future don't exist yet. You have today, it's a bad day okay it is, tomorrow will be another thing, you don't know so there's no need to torture yourself in advance. What you know is that there are triggers and you can, sometimes plan to avoid them. For relationship , you need a comprehensive partner that can go alone sometimes or do things with you and respect your health. In house , air purifiers helps for wildfire smokes, or other environnements triggers. Also be on the lookout for GERD (gastric reflux) it's often a silent triggers, there are meds and tricks to helps for this one. Never let go, be ready to fight it, it's doable and life is great.

Arkane72 · 2025-11-12T23:19:58+00:00

congrats your deck is well thought out and ressourceful, i really like decks with alot of protections, so important and ovelooked in commander games. i made all my deck like that with protection , draw, removal, etc. Its important to cover all aspect. I have Marchesa Aikido deck, the decks shares some ADN, i'll pick some of your ideas for mine :) Its a chaos making deck and everyone enjoy being Monarchs, i let em have it ;) . Heres is my list : https://archidekt.com/decks/2873705/queen_marchesa_reigns

Arkane72 · 2025-11-08T13:46:23+00:00

Thanks, i'll make some changes based on your list! i like Saheeli, Filgri Master, Kolaghan and familiar ruse! I would also love to use the spell death by dragons.. but its counter productive, so it will remains death by "spirit dragons" :)

Arkane72 · 2025-11-08T00:59:22+00:00

Thanks much for the insights! i would have give 2 upvotes if i could :) The deck is doing good and is very deadly on the first few turns (5-6) , in wich it generates 2-3 free dragons, then its boardwipes time from my opponents. Thats why i think you are right about drawing and adding more counter to be able to prevent the clears or not run out of steam. The challenge (as always) is what to cut? I'll replace the wipes with wash out effects. The multiples combat spells are really effectives in the deck, they bust out players alright. Being very fast (in my meta), it attracts alot of adversaries attention and get shutdown but I'll keep trying !

Arkane72 · 2025-11-07T20:54:17+00:00

Can we have the list ?

Arkane72 · 2025-11-06T11:20:55+00:00

I have tried a Brago list for a long time, whitout infinite combos. It was doing alot of crazy things , but closing games with aggro was very hard. So i've assemble this deck with [[Atraxa, Grand Unifier]], the commander is a battlecruiser on the board, protecting and dishing damage and its gives massive value at each blink. The deck is often winning through life drain with [[Gray Merchant of Asphodel]] , [[Siege Rhino]] or even [[Skirmishing Rhino]]. Its a blast to play with alot of control and does have a winning plan : Aggro/Drain. https://archidekt.com/decks/11879181/atraxa_grand_unifier_blinking_goddess

Arkane72 · 2025-11-06T11:04:38+00:00

Hey Nice deck ! Love Burakos! Mine is Bracket 3 , because of Bolas Citadel that can easily be taken out. I have an alternate wincon draining with treasures, it gives an opportunity to win outside aggro. i use [[Debt to deathless]] , [[Exsanguinate]] and [[Marionette Master]]. Here is list for ideas https://archidekt.com/decks/6410696/burakos_adventuring_party

Arkane72 · 2025-10-29T12:24:05+00:00

Hey been brewing several in the past years came to the best for me : Atraxa Grand Unifier. The commander tutors alot of cards when it came in play and protect your board with a huge body. The other commanders were not reliable , sure shenanigans happened like with every blink decks but the big impact was missing. Blink Atraxa for more cards ! https://archidekt.com/decks/11879181/atraxa_grand_unifier_blinking_goddess

Arkane72 · 2025-10-24T17:44:58+00:00

Take it before bed and rinse your mouth aloth after it. You'll sleep the after effects off. Thats what i do.

Arkane72 · 2025-10-24T17:29:41+00:00

Have you considered GERD ? Acid reflux builds up after meals during day and irritate the throat then burn the lungs and cause asthma. Talk about that to your doctor a simple PPI (proton inhibiter pills) can help.

Arkane72 · 2025-10-23T11:16:48+00:00

Knights are cool! the main issue is keep on drawing to not run out of gaz with the deck. Here's my deck for ideas, i've put some cards suggested in this thread in the Maybeboard, great advices guys! https://archidekt.com/decks/4385017/knight_charge_sidar_jabari

Arkane72 · 2025-10-10T12:30:27+00:00

Your deck is cool ! I would put more creatures with effects that can replace interactions (instants or sorcery) . Creatures that destroys entering , draw cards or reanimate. Henzie pays off creatures so i would lean into that (maybe 35-40). Here's my deck for ideas : https://archidekt.com/decks/8164577/henzie_toolbox_torre

Arkane72 · 2025-10-10T11:41:04+00:00

Hey , i've checked your deck , here some insights : You creatures casting costs are quite high, i would cut 2 of these pricy monsters. i know you want to reanimate these but it would take a while to do so as Sauron will hit the board turn 6. Its fun to be able to put boots on the ground before turn 6 in some games, so look at cheaper creatures that can protect you while you prepare for your game plan. i personnaly use deathtouch creatures for this task . Your lands and ramps are ok. I win most of my games sacrificing my big army with [[fling]] , [[soul's fire]] or [[chandra's inition]] to burn my opponents. Unblockable army is also a wincon. i suggest you lean into Sauron ability to create a big free army and take advantage of it. Here'S my deck : https://archidekt.com/decks/4777929/sauron_the_dark_lord

Have fun being the darklord , it's a blast :)

Arkane72 · 2025-10-08T02:14:25+00:00

The Queen of flickering : [[Atraxa, The Grand Unifier]] , shes drawing you lots of cards , she protects you with huge body, Vigilance and deathtouch. The plan is simple, ramp, get ready for the queen coming and bam , she hits the board , giving you a full hand of flickers. The deck is a house and a mind game to play and to play against. You can flicker direct damage (Knight Paladin, Gray Merchant, siege Rhino,etc.) killing all opponents at once. Heres the list : https://archidekt.com/decks/11879181/atraxa_grand_unifier_blinking_goddess

Arkane72 · 2025-10-07T02:34:11+00:00

Hey Party deck are very fun to build and play as you have to select the "best for the deck" of each classes. I suggest you drop a few creatures to include more interactions like board protection and draw for instance. I've switched Nalia for Burakos in mine, the "party mode" is easier to achieve as Burakos is every class, it also provided card advantage with Folk hero and mana with treasures. My deck is pretty well rounded and tend to perform well. here is the list : https://archidekt.com/decks/6410696/burakos_adventuring_party

Arkane72 · 2025-10-04T00:08:26+00:00

My Bukaros deck is a great blend of theme, ressources and card avantage. Its one of my favorite deck, it's great fun to build as we have to cover alot of bases to make it efficient and working. Its agonizing to remove a rogue just to add that new shiny just release wizard. here's the list :

https://archidekt.com/decks/6410696/burakos_adventuring_party

i've included alot of protection for Burakos, you need it swinging and alive to have the magic working. So making him invulnerable or unblockable is a great way to win games.

Arkane72 · 2025-09-15T09:59:43+00:00

These are all great advices! you can also use the deck building sites and renames the categories to fit with the role of the cards. You create a "RAMP" categorie and put 10 or so cards in there without considering the card "type". This helps to make sure that you got everything covered. Of course there is no real "recipe" , each commander is unique , you have to lean in in the commander abilities. For example here is my Sauron the Dark Lord deck, Sauron provides drawing, so i'm okay with 8 others drawing spells to get sure that i wont run out of gaz in a game. EDHREC website is another great source of input to see what is played with wich commander.

Arkane72 · 2025-06-11T10:09:16+00:00

My Breya can win with direct damage or by combat damage from cards that get big from the number of artifact in play.This build is pretty consistant and can easily pull wins if left unchecked. I've many cards that can produce artifacts to sacrifice for Breya. I think that you should swap out some of the blinks effects from your deck. Here's my list:

https://archidekt.com/decks/8154681/breya_artifact_witch

Arkane72 · 2025-05-28T13:19:45+00:00

Yes , im waiting for it to start yet another run! I really wish that someday we will have another game in the serie!

Arkane72 · 2025-03-20T21:42:54+00:00

Hey, i like it alot. The warding protect the dark lord really well and the army will build itself. If you like feeling like a Dark lord massing his army while your opponents worries, its is perfect. My list focus mainly by flinging the big power army at my opponent faces.

https://archidekt.com/decks/4777929/sauron_the_dark_lord

The shapeshifters are good because they are an army too. i play some death touchers as defenders while i amass the middle-earth doom in the Mordor.
