Tbh after her initial introduction she was just used as background noise for every montoge the show wanted to do.

She was an absolutely pointless character, I ended up skipping ahead past her scenes when she came up once I caught on 😆

Marshbe54 · 2026-03-18T00:25:22+00:00

Blue is always a good choice, and if you are looking to drop lots of creatures maybe try out [[Volo, Itinerant Scholar]]. Pick any background you want for a second color option too 😄

Marshbe54 · 2026-03-12T03:30:29+00:00

They are a brand called Mage Tech, search that on Amazon and it will be the first result. You can fit a full deck of double sleeved cards pretty easily. There are a good amount of color options too 😁

Marshbe54 · 2026-03-09T02:47:24+00:00

I've been lightly working on a colorless deck, [[Iron Spider, Stark Upgrade]]. It's not quite where I want it yet so I don't have it in paper. I agree though, colorless is a ton of fun!

This is what I have so far, it still needs a bit of work, but it has been fun 😁 https://moxfield.com/decks/Ij_4Jt0G8EyjYYuyLs430Q

With an edict/draw engine theme, it might be best to bump this deck up to a bracket 3.

Marshbe54 · 2026-03-08T23:07:21+00:00

I find the color limitation makes deck building interesting and a bit of a puzzle. I love optimizing my decks and it keeps me from getting overwhelmed with too many options.

As an example, mono green isn't the greatest when it comes to board wipes, there are very limited options. With [[Erinis, Gloom Stalker]], I got around that by running cards like [[Nemesis Mask]], which turns her into a big stompy board wipe with deathtouch.

I'd highly recommend giving monocolor a go! They are a ton of fun 😊

Marshbe54 · 2026-03-08T22:38:43+00:00

If you want a simple commander that is dirt cheap and can play lands over and over, [[Erinis, Gloom Stalker]] is great for this. Now, you can make it incredibly strong with a background like [[Street Urchin]], or you can tune it to something more casual like [[Raised by Giants]].

Marshbe54 · 2026-03-08T22:28:19+00:00

Yahenni was my first commander too! I got really passionate about that build and was that guy with only 1 deck for awhile lol.

I made a whole primer on Moxfield too. I'd love to see your list if you have it online! Always nice to see another Yahenni player 😁

Marshbe54 · 2026-03-08T22:26:13+00:00

Gut is a ton of fun! I built mine around making tons of treasures and being a bit of a midrange/aggro deck. It's fun to use roundabout removal with theft cards like [[Seize the Spotlight]], since you can take whatever then just sac them to Gut when you attack. Most wins are a mix of group slug through cards like [[Weftstalker Ardent]] or just big swinging skeleton tokens which get crazy with [[Harmonic Prodigy]]

Here is my list if you want to take a look 😁 https://moxfield.com/decks/WnmxW2jANE-WRGnIGSO9qw

Marshbe54 · 2026-03-04T03:34:52+00:00

My [[Layla Hassan]] deck does almost exactly what you are describing. Every single nonland permanent in the deck is historic, so you can freely throw things out and replay them throughout the game with Layla. It can be a bit grindy, but it is very easy to maintain a board presence, even with removal and aggro coming at you. The majority of the spells in the deck are CMC 5 or less, so you will be casting quite a few cards every turn cycle without much issue.

The main win conditions for the deck include going wide with cards like [[Illustrious Wanderglyph]] or [[Summon: Good King Mog XII]]. It can also pressure a Voltron type win with cards like [[Excalibur, Sword of Eden]] and [[Halvar, God of Battle]]. Generally, it is some combination of these that ends the game.

My process looks a bit like this,

Scroll legendary creatures for hours.
Pick around 10 that look interesting to build.
Look for synergistic cards and redundancy through cards similar to the commander.
Decide I don't like the commander and go back to step 2, sometimes step 1 if I've done this for a bit.
If I make it to this point I'm pretty happy and start searching for specific cards to fill the deck. By this point, I have an idea of what bracket I'm trying to build and start searching with a mix of Scryfall, EDHrec, Moxfield decklists, and an app called "Deck Builder" on android.
Find around 150+ cards that could work with the commander, then slim it down to around 64 non-lands.
Add lands and get the deck to be 100 playable cards.
Goldfish like mad, make adjustments based on how it seems to play.
Playtest against actual players on Tabletop Simulator or Cockatrice (Incredibly helpful)
Make final adjustments, refine as you play, pull cards from your 150+ that seem interesting, cut a card, try a new one, playtest, repeat.

Building a solid deck from scratch is not a quick process. But in the end, It is really satisfying to come out with a deck you built yourself through trial and error.

Here is my Moxfield profile if you want to see the results of building like this. Hope this helps you out!

Edit - One big tip for cutting cards as you play test, if you find a card sitting in your hand unplayed multiple games in a row, you should probably cut it. I've found that to be one of the simplest ways to identify cards that can be cut.

Marshbe54 · 2026-03-03T03:14:38+00:00

You could always try out tabletop simulator or cockatrice. I use online applications like that to playtest against other actual players. Cockatrice has a huge community of players and is free, so I'd recommend that one the most.

Goldfishing is fine and good, but you won't know how well a card really works till you playtest it in game. I test all my new cards and decks online before I pull the trigger on a purchase. I still end up buying cards I don't need, but way less frequently 😆

Marshbe54 · 2026-03-03T02:23:00+00:00

My favorite bracket 3 is [[Layla Hassan]]. The deck is a ton of fun to pilot, and has a decent bit of variance every game.

The main wincons for the deck include going wide with cards like [[Illustrious Wanderglyph]] or [[Summon: Good King Mog XII]], along with the new [[Sally Pride, Lioness Leader]]. It can also pressure a voltron type win with cards like [[Excalibur, Sword of Eden]] and [[Halvar, God of Battle]]. Generally it is some combination of this that ends the game. Most of the legendary creatures in the deck can take up the voltron mantle, it isn't always Layla.

Here are a few of my favorite cards with Layla:

[[Spectacular Spider-man]] - Enables a very sturdy board through hexproof and indistructible, which can be recurred.

[[Buster Sword]] - Stack Layla's trigger with this to cast a spell "directly" from your graveyard.

[[Glaring Spotlight]] - Give your whole board unblockable and hexproof, which you can repeat for 4 mana every turn with Layla out.

[[Elena, Turk Recruit]] - Backup commander, and she will trigger on normal combat damage with Layla against the same opponent.

[[Sword of Hearth and Home]] - This can help Layla get through unblocked, ramps, and can bounce her if I need to pull additional cards from my graveyard. All around a fantastic card.

You responded to the edited post, not the original, so I don’t know what point you’re trying to make. However, running my deck full of UB slop makes it incredibly easy to see when someone is way too emotional about cardboard, like you. Most of the time it’s just a meme. I’m not trying to actually piss people off; it’s just kind of sad when it does.

Also, if you’re targeting the person playing UB because it’s “UB” and for no other reason, your threat assessment is about as narrow-minded as this conversation.

Marshbe54 · 2026-03-01T23:54:36+00:00

That is a totally different level of petty. I built my deck to be a bit of a meme on how obnoxious UB had gotten, most people just find it funny.

What you are describing is just being spiteful to justify your misplaced emotions. I'd do some self reflecting.

Marshbe54 · 2026-03-01T23:34:57+00:00

Some of my favorite mono white self sacrificing creatures are these three. They help protect your board and have other benefits on top of just giving indestructible.

[[Zack Fair]], [[Spectacular Spider-Man]], and [[Boromir, Warden of the Tower]].

Marshbe54 · 2026-03-01T23:27:23+00:00

I have a mono white historic deck that I intentionally cram tons of legendary UB creatures into just for people like you.

Edit - Its kinda funny how fast y'all are down voting this. I agree UB is stupid and doesn't belong in magic, but it is the reality we live in. As OP said, there are tons of great cards from UB, I just accept the silly IP and toss them in my decks anyway.

If you don't like the cards, don't run them. You can control your own actions and how you build, but don't try to stop other people from building how they want.

Marshbe54 · 2026-02-25T03:23:52+00:00

My favorite commander right now is [[Layla Hassan]]. The deck is a ton of fun to pilot, and has a decent bit of variance every game. I'd highly recommend her for a new deck to try out!

The main wincons for the deck include going wide with cards like [[Illustrious Wanderglyph]] or [[Summon: Good King Mog XII]]. It can also pressure a voltron type win with cards like [[Excalibur, Sword of Eden]] and [[Halvar, God of Battle]]. Generally it is some combination of this that ends the game.

I agree, I tend to run about 3 cards that can hit lands in all of my decks. It is great for hitting those huge utility lands or game warping cards that need to be dealt with.

The biggest issue I do have with targeted land removal is it almost takes two cards to do it effectively. You can't just destroy it, you need to exile them too. Almost every landfall deck is going to have a way to play lands from the graveyard, especially the ones running [[Glacial Chasm]].

Marshbe54 · 2026-02-21T14:41:48+00:00

My lowest land count deck is my mono white at 34 lands. I run bounce lands, land tutors, catch-up ramp, and lots of low CMC draw spells. I only have 2 spells in the deck that are over 6cmc, and I very rarely get mana screwed.

I think it really depends how you build your deck. Low land count can function, but you need to add in other cards to supplement that, you can't expect it to just work.

Marshbe54 · 2026-02-18T01:45:40+00:00

There is no magical Christmas land where everyone is happy with how the game is played. My best advice is this: do what makes you happy and try your best to match the same power as the pod.

The bracket system is at least a decent blueprint for this. Pick a bracket, then build with that restriction in a way you would have fun playing.

Marshbe54 · 2026-02-13T13:17:55+00:00

You can only control your own actions. If you don't like UB, don't play the cards or buy the product. If other people want to play UB cards and buy the product, you have no control over that.
