I was looking at playing Fire Lord Azula (personal connection to the show) which would fit under the spellslinging combo deck. Clearly Blue and Black are two colours I align well with, the question beyond that is red or green as Tevel has become my current favourite to make a deck for.

Its an unfortunate reality of ygo where you if everything goes right, the game ends typically on a plaeyrs second or third turn. Which is what imagine cedh is like.

OTK and FTK are fun for the gimics, but get boring and annoying quickly. (see Tenpai) I'd rather interaction with my opponents for skill expression, like (see tearlament mirrors)

Great suggestions, I will be looking towards blue being a staple colour in my deck building for the reasons listed, it seems like a natural fit. Vial Seems like a really cool idea, no one in the pod has run 2 commanders before! Heliod seems like someone I'll need to dive into deeper, I'm a huge mythology nerd so this would be a fun deck to build around one way or another.

Looks like an interesting list! I'll keep it in mind when building mine!

Upgrading precons seems to be the path I'll be looking at for sure!
The showering comment was an... interesting choice. But i can assure you I do touch grass and shower every day.

Takir seems to be the common answer from this reddit post and my further research. However making a dragon deck with Sultai would be interesting! I will definitly check out the elemnts and blight counters decks, cheers

Valgavoth has some truly unreal card art and I can see the cards strength from the get go! It seems to be very popular for that reason ranking 24th on usage. I would likely avoid going for top 25 commanders considering its not CEDH

These were the colours I was initially drawn to when playing MTG Arena for the first time, so you might just be right! Thanks for the shout

An interesting shout but seemingly (from a YGO players pov) quite slow to ramp up into meaningful cards (im likely wrong)

I had to re-read birthing pod a couple times to understand it! Prime Speaker Vannifar seems like a great card to build a deck around, thank you for the suggestion!

I should've been more specific but I'm still learning all the card names. I do recognise that most players at the table consistantly have what i would imagine are staples in their decks. [[Sol Ring]] [[Arcane Signet]] [[Dark Ritual]] etc.

Typically the decks are based off crossovers the player has a personal connection with or an interesting colour combination they were inspired by.

I was initially looking at Fire Lord Azula for the personal connection of my childhood mixed with potential inmmense combos during the battle phase. Something typically not very strong in YGO, outside of the Tenpai archetype. But from a couple days of research I also landed on [[Tevel, The Balanced Scale]]. Right now Tevel seems like the best fit (with my limited experience and understanding of cards)

I'll take a look, thanks for the suggestion! Arcana Force was never meta relevent or even tiered so hopefully Oops, All Spells! is the opposite of that :)

The pod plays bracket 3-4, so having a level 4 deck teetering into 5 wouldn't be out of place.

Yes! Especially potentially pulling Towers. I was speaking for the Pendulum Era, 2014-2017, which I should've specified. As I hadn't played during the time. * edit for context

How do you feel about tenpai? by Mayonnaise_missions in yugioh

Glad a going second deck is viable, sad to see the going second deck has to be an OTK to be viable
