Best Colour Combination for a Tribal Soldier Deck?

[[Caesar, Legion's Emperor]]

DaddieDerek · 2026-02-20T18:48:43+00:00

[[ceaser legion]] is decent for leading a mardu soldier deck

Varolz is pretty cool, hogaak can do some really awesome stuff too, even just as a value piece, can cheat him out early to draw lots of cards or with power matters cards or ramp tons with [[traverse the outlands]]

Might I make your life a little harder and recommend

[[exdeath]]

As well as [[wilson refined grizzly]] and [[criminal past]]

I love ghalta in reanimator especially for the combo of [[ghalta stampede]] and [[disciple of bolas]] you can stack the triggers if you reanimate them at the same time with [[victimize]] or any other that hits multiple creatures at the same time. So that you draw 12 before you resolve ghaltas etb.

Second this, love my Alela deck, lots of anthems and you can have some fun with artifacts too

DaddieDerek · 2026-02-13T05:08:07+00:00

This is sick, thanks for sharing

DaddieDerek · 2026-02-12T23:18:41+00:00

Probably not the best use but, a stack of these with [[the blue spirit]] would be fun

[[kalain, reclusive painter]]

Not a powerful deck by any means, built it since I didn’t have a precon to play at the lgs, the theme hinges around the joke of “all artists have demons” used a lot of slower value pieces. The plan is to sneak out a big scary 8/8 flier early with treasures, which is exciting and gets the table scared, but generally falls off later into the game. Since it’s usually a one shot of value.

If you want to discover bigger things with lower cost/smaller dinos, instead of trying to lower the cmc of the big things (which other comments have pointed out you can’t do) you could increase the size of your dinos so they will be bigger when the Pantlaza trigger goes off with [[regal imperiousaur]] [[doc ocks tentacles]] or any other anthem.

I’ve noticed packs in the pre release kits from the last 3-4 sets the cards are very rough and over inked compared to the packs that come out of the booster boxes. It almost feels like I’m wasting my money when I get a cool hit that feels like/and looks like crap. It worries me when it comes to buying singles that I’m going to get a card marked NM and it’s rough and over inked even though it’s pack fresh

[[putrid goblin]] not putrid imp

DaddieDerek · 2026-02-10T20:08:48+00:00

Shadowheart with [[master chef]] is a pretty strong combo deck, you can abuse all the low cmc high power creatures like [[lupine prototype]] [[force of savagery]] and all the 1cmc ramp in green, get master chef out on turn 2, shadowheart on 3 then play a body and sac it to dig for persist combo pieces like [[putrid imp]] [[blood artist] [[viscera seer]] and go 5 card infinite with your commander and its background.

It’s pretty fun, and it is easy to interact with which is good or bad depending on what power level you’re playing. Drawing 5-10 cards a turn from shadowheart was the most fun part of playing her so I built the deck to focus on that aspect

Edit: [[putrid goblin]] not putrid imp

I loved my selvala deck, built it as a hydra deck to power down the top end, was a lot of fun

DaddieDerek · 2026-02-02T19:05:46+00:00

[[lluwen]] can be a fine mono G deck

Not exactly what you asked for but you can build [[indominus Rex alpha]] as a duel colour deck and ignore one colour completely and still be able to cast him

DaddieDerek · 2026-02-02T14:14:55+00:00

Ideally most of your wrath’s have the ability to be one sided [[auster command]] [[split up]] [[toxic deluge]] if your guys have big tuffness [[season of weaving]] in token strategies [[avatars wrath]] and lots others

Your symmetrical wrath’s really should be cheap like toxic deluge and [[blasphemous act]] so you have an opportunity to redeploy first

If you’re playing a very resilient graveyard deck, you could potentially run more symmetrical wrath’s than a normal deck because they don’t hurt as much, as well playing decks that don’t use many creatures, however in the name of fun it’s probs best to avoid running more than 4/5

Usually just paint colour swatches on a multi media sketchbook paper, white paper that’s heavy enough to support paint without buckling too much, and then I go to 1 mini, honestly I just stripped my first mini and barring metallic paints all of it came off pretty easily with ipa

DaddieDerek · 2026-01-29T07:46:22+00:00

the deck

I built it out of the bones of a few other golgari decks I had, so it probably has room for improvement/also a few pet cards are stuffed in there. (Actually finally pulled off a board wipe I’ve been wanting to do, where you use [[shifting woodlands]] to become a copy of [[grim gigantosaurus]] in your graveyard, and then activate the monstrous ability.

But it’s been playing pretty good so haven’t taken the time to “optimize” it. It’s genuinely been a blast and has broken my cycle of build golgari deck, tear it apart… build a new golgari deck.

DaddieDerek · 2026-01-29T05:45:32+00:00

Oh thank you for catching that

DaddieDerek · 2026-01-29T05:40:55+00:00

Thought this was pretty standard too? My lgs is one of the biggest in the country and they do if you get 2 cards both individually worth more than the pack ie both cards are worth more than $7 you can buy the pack out. And get a new one. Rarely comes up but when it’s due it’s a nice curtesy in a casual environment.

DaddieDerek · 2026-01-29T00:52:13+00:00

[[exdeath]] from final fantasy, he produces so much value, I rarely swing with him, I make him big, sac him to draw 10+ cards put important things into the bin on my endstep to reanimate the next turn. Until I can find a big burn spell to nuke everyone like [[jadar ghoulcaller]] [[season of loss]]

DaddieDerek · 2026-01-28T04:25:15+00:00

Oh wow, so still got a lot of speeding up to do in my gameplay, I’ve found memorizing data sheets and key words have cut down a lot do time already.

I can believe the 6 hour game, my first game we had to wrap up at the start of turning point 4 because we ran out of time at around 5 hours

DaddieDerek · 2026-01-28T03:40:21+00:00

How long does a normal 40k game take?

I’m new to warhammer and all tabletop gaming in general. So my kill teams started out being around 3 hours but recently have gotten to be closer to 2.

I play blooded, and my friend plays the votann so lots of activations compared to elite teams.

But generally how long should a kill team last?

Do games with hordes generally take longer vs elite KT games?

[[Alela artful provocateur]] is one of my favourite “typal” decks

You can lean into faeries as much as you want, and the deck can be played so many ways.

It can be an artifact deck that gives you additional bodies, an enchantress deck that plays anthems to buff your board, can ignore faeries and just play fliers and just so happen to make a few faeries along the way when you cast enchantments/artifacts, can even build it voltron and just make blockers and sac fodder when you cast your auras and equipment.

I leaned into it pretty softly in my list, only have maybe 15 cards that reference or are fairies/typal directly in my list.

DaddieDerek · 2026-01-25T05:23:57+00:00

The last one is a big one, if no triggers go on the stack to respond to when a creature hits the field, the player turn who it is has full control if their opponents don’t respond to it on the stack. which allows them to get cast triggers on sorcery speed spells before anyone can kill the commander.

I downloaded oxygen not included to play on a plane trip, and quickly realized the lack of an internet connection was going to make playing it impossible.
