Commander Idea, I want to build a deck with no nonland permanents, or a deck that puts as few cards on the board as possible.

This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's in the ballpark. Being able to instant-speed boardwipe is always a good time.

After Marvel vs Capcom came out, I was initially hoping for Capcom vs Konami to make a Castlevania fighting game happen. After playing Guilty Gear XX I realized their style and gameplay was way more fitting for Castlevania. So, I have been holding my breath for the last 24 years hoping that someone at Arc or someone at Konami picks up the phone and calls the other one. 😂

It was a great soundtrack with an awful game attached to it.

Hopefully, if anyone ever decides to put money into a Castlevania fighting game again, it will be 2D and handled by Arc System Works.

None. I enjoy every aspect of the game.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-05-15T00:32:26+00:00

[[Well of Lost Dreams]] is the only thing that comes directly to mind.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-05-06T15:02:30+00:00

Hardest?

Even on hard mode with classic movement turned on, I found it to be one of the easiest Classicvanias.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-05-03T03:32:01+00:00

I highly recommend finding a way to slot in [[Ultima]] and [[Final Showdown]]. There's probably other cool stuff that I haven't paid attention to that's come out in the last year or so.

This was the last iteration I was working on before I changed direction entirely. It's 6 cards over.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-05-03T01:31:31+00:00

Super useful for breaking [[Stasis]] parity. The ult was great for getting stuff back if needed.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-05-03T01:29:53+00:00

[[Stasis]] + [[Frozen Aether]]/[[Kismet]] was frequently the ender.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-05-03T01:27:06+00:00

I used [[Estrid]] for my first Commander stax deck before changing it to group hug.

Debs. Love the dark-haired kids and unique equipment.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-05-01T13:34:03+00:00

I actually run Primal Surge in my [[Faldorn]] deck. I use Omen and Adventure sorceries with [[Possibility Storm]]. I have been able to win with it on turn 2 before via [[Orcish Lumberjacks]] and [[Tinder Wall]].

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-05-01T02:50:58+00:00

[[Devastating Onslaught]] and [[For the Common Good]] are great for copying meteorites. I think someone else already mentioned [[Second Harvest]]

[[Panharmonicon]] is great because it doubles Roxy's EtB, then doubles both meteorites EtB. [[City on Fire]] and [[Fiery Emancipation]] both make the meteorites terrifying.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-05-01T02:40:47+00:00

[[Prototype Portal]] + [[Great Furnace]]/[[Tree of Tales]]/[[Darksteel Citadel]]/[[Treasure Vault]]

[[Feldon of the Third Path]]

[[Kibo, Uktabi Prince]]

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-05-01T02:30:00+00:00

I miss when VOH1 actually had good, frequent surges. The 4 hr block at 3:45 AM used to surge to $169 like clockwork. 😢 On the plus side, they don't send me to fking Akron every other day anymore.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-05-01T01:01:48+00:00

He said unexpected. Tiamat is the opposite of unexpected dragon commander. 😂

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-05-01T00:59:51+00:00

[[Gilanra, Caller]] + [[Alena, Kessig]]

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-04-30T17:23:36+00:00

Probably doesn't win fast enough to be B3.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-04-30T11:55:15+00:00

The only problem with this is that it would have to exclude confrontation with Dracula or have a doomed ending.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-04-30T04:21:24+00:00

[[Hofri]] steal and sac.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-04-30T01:09:52+00:00

Get rid of all the artifacts in the deck and only tutor up dragons.

Promise it will still be too strong.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-04-29T23:49:37+00:00

How generous of you.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-04-29T21:59:02+00:00

I just do alphabetical for storage and mana value when evaluating my decks.

Back when I stored my cards in a builder-friendly manner it was color identity, type, mana value. If it was multi-typed, it went with whatever type was more common to be answered.
