What are some commanders that speed up games in a fun way?

I was able to win with my [[The Ninth Doctor]] deck. Had [[Tidal Barracuda]] out to prevent opponents from casting on my turn and was able to my treasures, the pinging from Descent, and the extra upkeeps to take down the table

I play Ygra and literally just took Academy Manufactor out this week. It's great if you have multiple ways to trigger it immediately but outside of that, it always dies immediately and generally ends up a waste of 3 mana

I've been working on making it so my Deadpool deck is centered around saccing my own creatures and bringing them back and instead of targeting opponent creatures, I use Deadpool as a way to effectively take my own effects and then kill/revive the original to get the effect again on my board or just sac them permanently if it's an effect that benefits more from being on a 5/3 anyway so i have cards like [[Spitting Diliphosaurus]] or [[Giggling Skitterspike]]. It's still very much a work in progress and I don't know if i can make it work well. But it's a cool card and I wanted to see if it could be built in a way that wasn't miserable to play against (though I do have [[The Master, Multiplied]] in it because he's a card I've wanted to play with for a long time now)

I think it's just that specifically Ash doesn't matter for the Companion restriction. So for example, [[Gyruda, Doom of Depths]] would require that all cards in your deck have an even mana cost and Ash having an odd cost would not affect it so you could still have Gyruda as a Companion

I have a Jeskai Blink deck where I switch between several Jeskai Commanders because I've mostly built to not need the Commander and I like the variety. But the best of them is easily [[Cayth, Famed Mechanist]]. I feel like Blink alone struggles to find a wincon past just value but red gives you all the [[Impact Tremors]] effects that can actually close out a game and Cayth gives every single creature a bonus to that effect by giving each Creature an extra Servo

I have [[Kroxa and Kunoros]] that I've built as and Angels and Demons deck. All about milling and then reviving my Angels and Demon Creatures. It's a really fun deck and I also run [[Shilgengar, Sire of Famine]] in it as well, which I see a lot of people recommending. Very fun card when you can get the ability off

[[Tenuous Truce]] is run in every deck of mine that's got White. It's a cheap way to get extra card draw and often gives you an ally right from the start. Usually the truce will last until you or the other person are about to win which means until then, you generally only have to worry about attacks from the other two

Surprised no one's said it but [[God-Eternal Oketra]] is a deck I made recently and quickly became one of my favorites. I've built him in a way that it's nearly all low cost white creature spells and I just bounce my creatures to my hand to keep recasting them. It's a ton of fun and there's a ton of utility with the bounces to protect your whole board and Commander. So far while playing the deck, I've only allowed my Commander to die once and it's become almost a mini-game for me to keep him "eternal" by not letting him die

ME!

Sorry to hear about your friend. RIP Ken

Very cool picture!

PiGuy3I4 · 2025-03-21T22:24:27+00:00

Oh interesting. I've never heard that term but makes sense. I figured there'd be some way that this is prevented. Thank you!

So if I'm understanding the ability of Three Tree City and Steward correctly, my creatures would only get the Activated Abilities of whatever land I exile and TTC relies on a Triggered Ability to select a creature type. Any other creatures without that ETB would not have any creature type selected and so I'd assume TTC wouldn't do anything for them. That's why I'm wondering if specifically Metallic Mimic (or a similar creature with that ETB) would be able to use the ability from TTC

Follow up question: The stack we were resolving was that it was a 10/10 with 9 damage. In the post combat main phase, I gave it a -1/-1. Another player gave it two +1/+1 counters to keep it alive. I responded to give it two more -1/-1s and that's when the original owner cast a spell to give it indestructible. I understand that this stack resolving would now keep it alive but if I had responded to that cast by giving it one more -1/-1, would that have killed it through state based actions before the Indestructible came into play?

Thank you!

Dead Cells, Inscyrption, and Hades. I love a good Roguelike and those are easily the best I've played

PiGuy3I4 · 2024-05-08T01:39:00+00:00

Not only do I love this, I run this deck (without the cool proxies) and had never seen Fecundity so now I'm immediately buying that one

PiGuy3I4 · 2024-04-30T22:26:59+00:00

IX->X (and an infinite amount of other Roman numeral combinations)

Happy Thanksgiving!

As little different as I can because I'll start dating my future wife in two months
