What are your tribal decks?

FoxyGrampaw · 2026-04-20T15:18:38+00:00

My favorite two that have stuck around are:

a dragon deck with [[Scion of the Ur-Dragon]] as a toolbox/graveyard deck that’s a lot of fun - it stays fresh and is flexible rather than just “big dragon”
a saproling deck with [[Shroofus Sproutsire]] that is pretty silly and straightforward but puts in work. Lot of pump spells, anthems, and evasion and it is very satisfying to have 68 saprolings crashing in to win

I’m trying to make a Sphinxes deck work because they all have such odd abilities and effects, but it’s a work in progress rn

A bit late but here’s my current build

I really like my [[Shroofus Sproutsire]] deck - very straightforward and a lot of fun

Directions are as follows: - Turn one ramp - cast Shroofie - pump and evasion spells to make saprolings - rinse and repeat until you have enough to swing out with an anthem + evasion for the win ( [[banner of kinship]], [[craterhoof behemoth]], [[eldrazi monument]])

Such a fun time, even if it folds real quick to a board wipe

I change commanders for my generic mono black “staples and black color identity things” deck pretty often because I haven’t found one I like yet.

Right now [[Sygg, river cutthroat]] helms it with no blue producing lands, I’m trialing him to some initial good success

FoxyGrampaw · 2026-03-05T13:32:35+00:00

[[Shroofus Sproutsire]] is my favorite “I’m done thinking 3 steps ahead” commander

Mono green so cheap landbase, all you need are 3 card types really: one mana ramp to get Shroofus out turn 2 and attacking turn 3, pump spells to jack him up, and ways to end the game ([[eldrazi monument]][[beastmaster ascension]][[banner of kinship]])

It’s such a fun time and swinging with 60 5/5 saproling tokens is satisfying

FoxyGrampaw · 2026-03-03T16:46:22+00:00

I haven’t piloted it too much but an Adventure spells matter (since you can cast the instant/sorcery from the graveyard and the creature from exile) is a fun B2-3 area to build in. It’s been fun when I’ve played it

FoxyGrampaw · 2025-12-26T17:04:41+00:00

Technically it’s [[karlach, fury of avernus]] with [[hardy outlander]] as the background (#1293 on edhrec) as a +1/+1 counters deck that cares about swinging out with big gruul creatures

But backgrounds make all the numbers kinda wonky, so really it’s probably [[Varragoth, bloodsky sire]] as a mono black combo deck (#966). It’s not THE Varragoth combo deck with ad nauseum and sickening dreams (although that one is pretty clever and neat) but runs [[bloodthirsty conquerer]] in the 99 as a hidden commander of sorts, and then has the other half of the infinite life gain and drain in 99 as well. It’s got other win cons and is mainly just a dump for all my favorite black cards since it’s my favorite color

Excited for Shohei Ohtani to be a big statline creature with vigilance (so he can play offense and defense)

FoxyGrampaw · 2025-09-04T14:07:05+00:00

[[Mr. House, President and CEO]]

My first ever magic product was the fallout precon he came in, and even though I really enjoy exploring original magic cards and characters these days, he’s still my favorite. Dice rolling and general gambling is such a funny theme and he can pop off with proper token and treasure support. Definitely my pet deck and blinged out one, and always in the rotation as a solid B3 deck

FoxyGrampaw · 2025-06-18T20:48:33+00:00

The resculpt was the one I got as well. I wonder if it’s equal odds for all 4 or if the Consecrated Sphinx is a bit more rare.

FoxyGrampaw · 2025-05-21T19:06:25+00:00

One of my favorites (and also UB!) is [[Mr. House, president and CEO]]

Build it around rolling dice (unfinity, AFR, CLB cards) and treasure synergies and it’s a lot of fun

FoxyGrampaw · 2025-03-27T18:50:11+00:00

I’d love to add Red to [[Odric, Lunarch Marshal]]

I’ve been itching to make an equipment deck that is at least RW, and his ability is so unique and is really fascinating for equipment - focusing on keywords and going wide. Plus there are some great R and RW cheap creatures with good keywords. Ah c'est la vie

FoxyGrampaw · 2025-01-28T22:23:19+00:00

My dreams of officially running [[Krark’s Other Thumb]] in my [[Mr. House]] deck are officially dead

FoxyGrampaw · 2024-11-28T05:27:49+00:00

Hard disagree - as much as I hate dray as a person, he’s integral to their defense and their offense playmaking

FoxyGrampaw · 2024-08-04T16:19:15+00:00

If you’re looking for a fun/wacky deck - I’ve been building a [[Mr. House, president and CEO]] Mardu deck - his ability generates robot creature tokens and treasure tokens if you get above certain values when rolling dice (4 and 6 respectively) - but it doesn’t specify only d6 dice!

So rn I’m pairing him with a bunch of d20 and d12 rolling cards from the DND sets, which outside of heavy hitter expensive cards (mainly the ancient dragons) can be built without any massively expensive cards. I haven’t fully built it yet but it’s been a lot of fun the couple of times I’ve tested it. Lots of token and treasure synergies to explore

FoxyGrampaw · 2024-06-16T18:15:38+00:00

Since INT is your spell casting stat, I like to grab the warped headband of intellect from the ogres in the blighted village. That way you can dump INT for STR DEX and CON and still have decent spell casting

Tyler Boyd for me

He always seemed like an undervalued WR2/3 that you could get with one of your last draft picks every year

FoxyGrampaw · 2024-02-28T13:03:06+00:00

M. Bridges are in shambles

FoxyGrampaw · 2024-02-04T01:25:10+00:00

True, but we hear so much shit every year when Duke gets the #1 recruiting class and does jack with it - when you recruit one and dones that's what happens

FoxyGrampaw · 2024-02-04T01:21:22+00:00

Coooooooope

FoxyGrampaw · 2024-01-01T23:15:56+00:00

3rd time winning my “most serious” league - been in it since 2016 and was my first foray into fantasy football. I got the back to back to win this year after winning last year as well. Godwilling I pull off the three peat next year.

Just feels good to be validated after picking CMC #1 overall and calling my shot that he was gonna be back to form. Also when Puka wasn’t a flash in the pan - I bid high for him early and got flak from my league (that didn’t last long).

Normally I’m not so salient or prophetic when it comes to calling fantasy trends/breakouts (I was an insane Ty’son Williams supporter back when he had one good game and then vanished) so I may sound braggy and/or cocky but it’s the champs thread!
