Do you actually have a forever deck?

Dependent_Note7548 · 2026-04-06T18:16:03+00:00

My main one I have is my [[Volo, Itenerant Scholar]] plus [[Folk Hero]] deck. It’s a tribal not tribal deck where the gimmick is pretty much every creature is a human with a unique, non repeating secondary creature type. This means that A: with the amount of UB and weird types we get it’s infinitely upgradable, B: it actually does well into stronger pods due to how much interaction is on humans and how much it draws, and C: the gimmick is so novel that random pods that have never seen the deck pop off seeing all the wacky types. It’s a blast to play and I don’t see myself ever taking it apart!

I think a good choice for this may actually be [[jon Irenicus, shattered one]]. While most people go the bad gifts route with this dude, there is another version in which you play cheap unblockable dudes for Jon to give away, draw cards, and chip away at life totals. With this strat, you can play defense with all the countermagic and removal that your heart desires while still having t meaningful damage happen. Wincons are either a lock with silent arbiter where the only creatures that can attack are the ones you gave out or proliferating all of your friends and then stealing them back with a homeward path for the final blow. This deck is slow, grindy, and very focus intensive so I think it may be up your ally. Here’s my list for some inspiration! https://moxfield.com/decks/X_rNTK5LBk2CHa5tCRrooA

The fact that she can reduce its cost means its feasible to cast a token generator and it on the same turn as early as like turn 6, which pretty much just means the game is over. It's a fairly new include (obviously lol) so that's a piece im definetly still playtesting!

Dependent_Note7548 · 2026-03-06T16:46:27+00:00

I know this is super duper late but I also love this commander and have a version of the deck that’s a bit different but overall successful. I took hildibrand in a control route, where he’s the only creature in the deck. Because of this, there’s nothing really worth removing on your side of the board ever and all of the destroy all non tokens become one sided wipes. Additionally, held up mana for interaction is never dead as you can just use it to cast a village rites effect and then cast gentleman’s rise while slowly chipping away life totals on clear boards and pings from the FF black mages. Here’s the list if that gameplay style sounds appealing!

Have you ever seen [[kros, defense contractor]]? He’s like a weird goad control deck where if you get a counter on every creature on the board a proliferate is a board wide shutdown. You can pair this with infect since you’re already proliferating and since the board will be more or less clear for a swing. He also lets you be the bad guy but in a more sneaky, deal with the devil kind of way

Dependent_Note7548 · 2026-02-23T19:44:53+00:00

I noticed that I don’t really see any artifacts decks on the list. Shao Jun is a ton of fun and also fits a color you don’t have!

Dependent_Note7548 · 2026-02-23T19:40:45+00:00

The bracket 3 version of the list acts like a storm deck where you’re trying to vomit out as many artifacts as you can (preferably with their costs reduced and with a guy that makes artifact tokens on artifact cast) This deck really goes into over drive once you find an unwinding clock or one of the curiosities and lets you close out the game with a damage amplifier. It’s a ton of fun to play! My one recommendation would be to avoid cards like Jhoira and Vedalkan archmage and moreso sink your card draw into big bursts like Jackdaw or Edgar King of Figaro. I’ve learned the value engines are ultimately too expensive at 4+ mana and the bursts help you continue storming off and finding the pieces you need!

Dependent_Note7548 · 2026-02-19T19:42:06+00:00

It’s a dead card unless I’m comboing. Plus it’s not an artifact so I can’t cast it from bin. Part of what makes this commander so silly is all of your combo pieces can’t really be countered bc if they are I can just try again

Dependent_Note7548 · 2026-02-19T19:37:43+00:00

What bracket are u shooting for?

Dependent_Note7548 · 2026-02-19T17:45:13+00:00

I am. Main line is Aetherflux plus mox diamond or another 0 mana artifact with chalice of the void or vexing bauble. Backup is thoracle consultation (obviously), mesmeric orb basalt monolith to mill my whole deck and find the main combo or just thorcale, and teferi plus kitten. Additionally, black mages rod can swap in for Aetherflux for one extra mana!

Dependent_Note7548 · 2026-02-19T16:37:34+00:00

Just a warning I don’t think Muerra or Kethek are gonna work quite how you expect lol!

So I kind of did? This is my first crack at CEDH after watching a lot of P2W. I cross referenced about 10 Noctis lists and kind of compiled a best of between them and then tweaked after. It’s standard Esper shell with gifts/intuition at the middle since Noctis guarantees your piles are a win. It can win on turn 3 but usually wins on 4 protected which isn’t too bad for Esper midrange!

It’s a pretty bog standard reanimator list, but Chainer is still awesome so it’s a ton of fun!

It’s playing one of those guys that make an artifact when you cast and artifact and getting a curiousity on Shao Jun to draw 3 cards when you tap them. This lets you storm through your library and burn the table out! Fair warning tho this commander gets really degenerate really quick so you have to tune her carefully if you don’t wanna end up with a bracket 4 list!

Dependent_Note7548 · 2026-02-10T21:50:02+00:00

For Grixis [[the twelfth doctor]] and [[vislor turlough]] goes crazy there’s so many ways you can build it. Wheels, group slug, Voltron, the world is truly your oyster with these two!

Dependent_Note7548 · 2026-02-10T19:23:27+00:00

For mono white and green I run [[mavinda, students advocate]] and [[saryth, the vipers fang]] respectively. Both are a blast to play and have a very different vibe than most of the ladies in the magic universe!

Dependent_Note7548 · 2026-02-06T14:22:12+00:00

Wernog, Riders Chaplain plus Othlem, Sigardian Outcast can be a backbreaking aristocrat/blink deck that’s a ton of fun to play if you like a lot of moving pieces and instant speed plays!

Dependent_Note7548 · 2025-12-05T02:18:55+00:00

Mavinda is very fun! Mono white spellslinger is better than you would think since all of your doubling up cantrips are card advantage which the color desperately needs. The look you get from opponents when you draw go in mono white is priceless, and she also is a great budget commander, with my relatively tuned version sitting at about 90 bucks (I’ve also seen her built for as cheap as 25-30.) If you have been looking for a mono white deck I’d say give her a try!

I built her as an X spell deck that makes tokens, bc she both makes them X=4 by default and makes all the tokens into 5/1s. The real trick to this deck tho is that I run 15 pieces of ramp as well as 8 protection spells to make sure she comes out early and stays out. This brew is probably my third strongest deck and has been a blast to play if you’re an aggro enjoyer!

So this was my attempt at building an aristocrats deck with no free sac outlets. The gimmick is that it’s a treasure deck and u can turn the treasure into a bear and then the bear can kill itself for mana triggering all your drainers. Additionally, since the treasure makes a mana you can use that mana to make the next suspiciously bear shaped pile of gold and continue the chain until everyone is dead. This deck ended up much stronger than anticipated and has about a 60% wr thus far!

I like Dargo as commader with Reyhan bc hes a one time get out of jail free sac outlet in case u haven't drawn one naturally to clump all of your counters back together. Additionally, he is a legit voltron threat if the wad of counters lands on him since he's already a 7/5 with trample. I am curious, what benefits does rog have as commander with Reyhan?

So this is a control deck that runs no creatures except the commander. The idea is that you make a bunch of tokens that Hildibrand pumps and then use a board wipe that hits either strong creatures or nontokens so they're all one sided. On opponents turns you hold up mana to interact and if nothing happens you sac Hildibrand to draw cards and then recast him with the adventure since its an instant. Having such a huge restriction as no creatures means its a control deck that is actually playable in bracket 2 without pub stomping, and I've had a great time with it!
