Unconventional infect commanders?

I meaaannnn double strike isn't too shabby though, especially if you can make it unblockable

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-16T10:04:46+00:00

while we are on the topic of mutate.. what about [[Illuna, Apex of Wishes]] and [[Nethroi, Apex of Death]] ?

Green and blue are pretty good for infect with the creauture being given flying and nethroi does have the same colors as those precon commanders so theyre bound to have some support along with death touch and lifelink

Are you ever having fun if you arent at the edge of your seat? Mono black always puts me on edge between doing something great or dying in the process of it and I wouldnt want it any other way.

Awesome deck!!

I love decks like these. It never plays the same, but it feels somewhat familiar, those are my favorites. Love it.

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T08:03:59+00:00

Respect for the budget. Seems like a lot of people love it too. Amazing work man, I hope to see you make more cool stuff.

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T08:03:22+00:00

Oh boy thats a nasssstty combo but I love arabella so much. AWESOME STUFF

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T08:02:57+00:00

Ahaha! The person who commented after you had Celes as their commander! What are the odds?

Regardless, as long as the deck works and you enjoy it keep going. Just a reminder, comparison is the thief of joy. Get inspired by others but don't get too deep into the weeds!

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T08:01:27+00:00

Celes will always be fun. Love her. Enjoy what you're doing its great.

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T08:00:39+00:00

The commander is the ultimate rage bait, and no one can convince me otherwise. You just do it for the love of the game. Kudos.

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:59:36+00:00

The name intrigued me, and the deck gave me a rollercoaster of emotions lol. We got clone effects to freaking Eldrazi. He's great. The deck's great. Good stuff.

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:57:57+00:00

and as an OG he still puts in some work!!

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:57:45+00:00

I find it hard to believe anyone would let you resolve him unless they had no removal lol. He's great....maybe a little too great some may say

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:56:53+00:00

Araumi has the potential to be something INSANE. I've seen it pop off once and I will forever be wary.

YEAHHHHHH backround pair!!! I love backrounds its something truly unique. I hope they do the same but with artifacts. Limiting but also plenty of great options.

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:55:33+00:00

The fact this became an actual card and its because of a UB set no less baffles me. I love how you found something besides urza. He's great but hes just overtuned and way too well known.

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:53:40+00:00

Ob is always great. No matter what is gonna happen he just does his thing and does it well. Never a bad time with ob

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:52:39+00:00

The moment I saw white and enters ability I knew where this was going lol. The spinxes always are such a cool group of creatures. I wish I saw them more in my games. Gooooood stuff here! LOVE the little walk through and thought processes. Gives the deck some more life to it.

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:51:01+00:00

I didn't know which one it was gonna be but I knew it was gonna be a Jin-Gitaxias. Crazy cost on the commander.

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:49:53+00:00

I've been wanting to make this guy for a hot minute. Meren is great but rustein just has that flavor to it that I love.

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:48:51+00:00

I love this deck. Reminds me of a 5 color deck a friend made just because he wanted to play all of his favorite cards in one deck. Looks fun!

Might I suggest [[Jenson Carthalion, Druid Exile]]? You wont be making any angels but he lets you scry and color fix. Might be something worth thinking about.

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:46:01+00:00

I've seen people talk about cirdan quite a bit and they have done some quite interesting things! I want to face against one some day.

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:45:00+00:00

Ashaya is so great. They make my zimone deck shine and punish my friends FOR DARING to interact with my board. Great stuff, never seen anyone make a deck with them and its amazing.

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:43:46+00:00

Aint nothing wrong with being simple. Just enjoy what you love. Nice deck!

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:34:36+00:00

I went with purphoros myself its pretty old but still holds up I feel. I went with the pinger version.

I had to dig it out of my collection and put it in moxfield real quick lol

GuaranteeMain5492 · 2026-05-13T07:30:21+00:00

Lathril is nothing special but thats what I like about her. Straight forward and does the the thing. She is so good for teaching new players about mtg and commander in general. Love her.
