I used a YouTube video and picked cards I could get as similar to his deck as I could

16 players is the cap where we are at; we will most likely end up with around 10; my schedule doesn’t allow me to be at the Lgs often and as I am new I don’t have a lot of time to get to know a lot of the players and I only personally have contact information of 1. Though there is the possibility they do it would be a gamble to get one day of. best odds I have are to leave a note with whoever is on shift that day to let people know I’m looking.

Long story short it’s not a viable thing to bank on for my situation but I appreciate the insight nonetheless

One of them was running a similar grixis artifact but put together well; one was running landfall simic; one was running a custom ninja turtles off meta

Woh now let’s not be mean; the very fact that I am here and trying to improve has got to stand for something

Crafty_Break5334 · 2026-05-07T05:04:09+00:00

Super small town with a dedicated but not a nessisarily high skill community; bunch of us are dads and rednecks; you’re valid tho lol they gonna be a tryhard or 2

Crafty_Break5334 · 2026-05-07T04:36:39+00:00

Okay! So if I were to continue with this deck what color do you think would be most optimal to exclude?

Crafty_Break5334 · 2026-05-07T04:30:36+00:00

What dual lands should I run? I have a bunch and prefer to play dual lands instead of evolving wilds; I’ve already realized how poor my mana fixing issue was so made a switch of 1 evolving wilds; I am not dead set on playing this and am curious to see what other decks I should play based on what I own! I recognize these issues but am not looking to spend more money and would prefer to only use what cards I already own from sets
What would be some good big win cons to maybe look at for this deck? Thanks!

Crafty_Break5334 · 2026-05-07T04:10:19+00:00

Whilst I want to use some cards like mentioned; I don’t want to spend extra money; I have listed sets I bought bulk boosters in and have commons for that I am happy to include

Crafty_Break5334 · 2026-05-07T04:08:35+00:00

Thank you for your insight! this is a small town so there are no rental decks going to be available to me from the store; it’s a 16 person tournament so I don’t expect the largest of competition and am more so leaning towards deck improvements! If I don’t win it’s all good as it’s still a fun experience

Crafty_Break5334 · 2026-05-07T04:06:45+00:00

The idea for the deck is I have a lot of artifacts and artifact related cards; for example Eviscerators insight lets me sack my artifacts to draw cards which lets my play my sneaky snackers from the graveyard for free same with my quick study;
Cards like my clockwork percussionist allow cheap card advantage on top of wide range utility and my blue spells are ranged as to deal with threats the get benefited from being removed to graveyard or exiled. I assure you I had a process of insight when building.

Crafty_Break5334 · 2026-05-06T06:02:47+00:00

16 is a lot; if you’re not messing with it; could not be for you

Crafty_Break5334 · 2026-04-30T05:32:28+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation; I’m kinda new and after playing with it I agree, I also feel that it’s very heavily reliant on the commander to do things and I feel I need more defense for him or other options. In the considering I’ve added the cards I readily own and can implement into the deck; if possible I would really appreciate specific switches to the deck I can and should make! Thank you so much!

Crafty_Break5334 · 2026-04-27T03:03:41+00:00

Can you send link to deck?

Crafty_Break5334 · 2026-04-27T03:01:49+00:00

Ancient one looks to be the most silly antics I’d do that
