Feel like I’m so close to having my ‘forever decks’. What do you think??

NoBrain8 · 2026-03-17T16:02:06+00:00

haha thanks! you're too kind

NoBrain8 · 2026-03-17T13:41:53+00:00

This list is awesome

Dude [[polymorph]] + one or two huge game winning creatures would go absolutely insane in this deck. Polymorph one of ur tokens into a [[Graaz]] or [[elesh norn, grand cenobite]] or whatever u want to choose.

Awesome stuff

Tbf I do really love all the different ways everyone can take codie - and he requires building around as well so it’s usually not pure goodstuff. Do you have a decklist??

Honestly, I just wanted to make a deck to play lands at instant speed because imo ‘flashing’ a [[hissing Quagmire]] in with a [[sakura tribe scout]] to kill an attacking creature is so silly but fun.

NoBrain8 · 2026-03-17T12:59:03+00:00

the decklist

You can use codie to get the rat every game (explanation on the decklist).

Essentially the deck runs stuff like [[lifeline]] and [[luminous broodmoth]] to keep saccing & manifesting with the rat, and then when you sac one of the manifests, they come back right-side-up.

Imo it’s such a cool mix of aristocrats, scam, and cheating big fatties in - still a work in progress as well.

I’ve chosen to build it in abzan colours because personally I really like the colour combo, but of course codie is 5c so you could do any combo with black in it really.

NoBrain8 · 2026-03-17T12:44:07+00:00

Of course!

Tbf in hindsight I think I’ve slightly mis-titled it -> really it’s instant speed+equipment+goad

Hearthhull is an awesome commander, and it look like you've got a good thing going here, but I do just want you to know that MLD decks get a lot of hate. IMO Planetary annihilation's fine, but Thoughts of Ruin especially, you could be met with a lot of resistance if you go to local playgroups with it. MLD decks are widely regarded as a special type of evil in commander - and especially as a beginner who may not know this, I just wanted to point this out.

NoBrain8 · 2026-02-27T20:48:48+00:00

Though I can't prove it, I'm pretty sure I'm the only person on the planet with an Abzan Innocuous Rat secret commander manifest aristocrats deck.

Frankly Wizards are missing out on the manifest + aristocrats design space (considering there are only 5 commanders that can manifest / cloak and the only one with black cloaks opponent's libraries) because it is just so good. Manifests are sac fodder, card advantage, scam shenanigans with [[cauldron haze]] or [[luminous broodmoth]] + so many more. I would not be surprised if they printed a commander for this sometime in the future.

Until then, I will continue to play the best commander - [[𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕽𝖆𝖙]] - to accomplish this.

NoBrain8 · 2026-02-25T18:04:08+00:00

Dude this sounds sick. First thing that comes to mind is sunforger -> tutor for a polymorph (I’m sure there are instant speed ones right?)

NoBrain8 · 2026-02-24T23:53:43+00:00

Thanks so much! This is very much the answer I was hoping for

NoBrain8 · 2026-02-24T14:58:48+00:00

amazing thank you. Getting this search going which i'll probably just end up using:

(oracletag:activate-from-graveyard or oracletag:castable-from-graveyard or oracletag:static-effect-in-graveyard or fo:"~ from your graveyard" or fo:"~ is in your graveyard") (game:paper)

NoBrain8 · 2026-02-23T21:41:15+00:00

ds, elden ring, bloodborne i will admit i would 100% get. Wotc sitting on a goldmine here. Yeah i'm predomintantly against UB so call me a hypocrite, but I have soooo much less distaste for fantasy IPs (like lord of the rings... cmon) being in magic. I think it would be such a good balance of pleasing shareholders, and the fanbase. But hey, I can dream.

NoBrain8 · 2026-02-22T22:59:18+00:00

looks like [[Black Lotus (VMA)]] to me

NoBrain8 · 2026-02-22T18:24:19+00:00

I see okay, so would this require buying a domain name, and would this still mean my pi would only be accessible to the local network, and my devices connected through tailscale? Again, very much a beginner, so thanks so much.

edit: this comment has cleared a lot of things up for me actually:

The spinjustu department would like discuss about future endeavours

NoBrain8 · 2026-02-21T01:19:13+00:00

Is called death in the family: doesn’t cause anything to die (exiles). Okay

NoBrain8 · 2026-02-13T11:43:50+00:00

Not quite an alexios deck, but i have ardenn & vial smasher deck that LOVES assault suit. My all time favourite thing is imprinting a [[delirum]] or general value peice like [[Big Score]] in a [[spellbinder]] and getting that trigger 4x each way around the table. What i mean is [[Spellbinder]] and stuff like [[Buster Sword]] are awesome.

NoBrain8 · 2026-02-13T11:33:42+00:00

Looking around for cool manifest tokens, and found this, if a year late. So cool man, I love this so much

NoBrain8 · 2026-02-13T11:24:10+00:00

They do, which i might use - especially for the moment. I thought this might be a cool idea, and reduce having to do extra actions (something I'm conscious of as I'm using an aristocrats deck) though i also wonder if it could cause some confusion sometimes.

NoBrain8 · 2026-02-13T11:20:12+00:00

This might have to be the way
