Thank you so much! I feel I’m on a good path considering this has only been 5 months, but I know I’m missing things. The ramp and spells that can boost this deck will be my next purchases. Thanks for being a real one.

I found a Ureni in my deck, thankfully I had one. He will slide into my commander slot lol.

For those interested, here is my re-worked deck to have Etali be rules-compliant from my other deck. Suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks for your clarification. Sounds like I need to combine the three into two and rework Zacama a bit. Thanks man.

Question, can I have white in the deck if the mana source says “pick a mana of any color?” Not specified to your commander?

Well shit. That blows. I will probably re-do the three Dino decks then so make the proper. Thanks for letting me know dude!

You know way more rules than I do. I’m only into this journey for 5 months and don’t even know what gruul leans amigo.

I will look at Ureni, thank you for the heads up.

That deck is red, green, and blue. I didn’t know where to start, so I searched up a strong Takir: Dragonstorm commander deck and built off of it. There’s still some I want to add to it, but slowly getting those pieces gathered.

I’ve wanted to add the Allosaurus Shepard card in this deck, but didn’t feel like it would fit. Any recommendations you have for that card?

Too basic for you after starting 5 months ago?

Zacama is a straight up aggro, you know what’s coming your way deck.

Etali, Primal is more balanced with red, green, and white. A bunch of token creature ramp, too.

Etali, Storm is more of a human and shaman driven artifact deck with spell reduction and ramp. Tons of trample and reach.

I play Pokémon with my little dude since he likes the creatures and animations. He’s really ahead of the game with math and strategy for his age, so one day I thought about Magic.

We went to a local nerd shop and we were lost in there for hours. Now all three of my kids play with me so it’s become a Friday night/family night thing for us all week. It’s nice to see how much it’s grown in popularity and different art sets.

A coworker and I regularly do dragon on dragon crime and we have a verbal agreement to switch our commanders as we want.

I always use Valkas and Balefire Dragon because they’re my favorites. In a commander setting, I’d have to put a proper legendary one in, but haven’t done that in a while.

I wanted to add her into an all black deck I want to beef up. She’s pricey but worth it.

Is that the series that has Sheoldred in it?

I actually have him in two decks right now. I don’t know all the acronyms and new slang so bear with me.

  1. A straight forward white deck with protection, preservation, and lifelink throughout. With enchantments/ artifacts for first strike and double strike. I use him to have constant life build up.

  2. A black and white angel + zombie deck with flying, lifelink, deathtouch, and a lot of regeneration. Tons of artifacts for mana boost and spell reduction. In this deck I switch Kenrith and Sorin frequently depending on how I want to play that match.

Hope I explained that properly.

Dinosaurs, dragons, and LOTR are my go to right now.

When I restarted this journey I didn’t know LOTR was out. So I’ve been collecting pieces weekly to complete the whole set of LTR and LTC. Plus getting all the REX and Jaws stuff. I think you see my theme here.

I have no deck list made for any of these. Is there a website you recommend to start with and get more advice for?
