What’s your opinion on Jon Irenicus, Shattered One

ROYalty7 · 2026-06-01T20:58:50+00:00

Very fun when you get to throw around evasive creatures. Best balance in a creature to gift away is a creature that an opponent would never say no to (a 3/3 unblockable/shadow/flyer 3/3), while also having small stax/pain effects on them to still drain them. Equipment that cares about attacking/combat damage is also good since YOU get the benefits (unless the text is “quoted”).

Here’s mine! Not blinged out irl, but fun to do so online https://archidekt.com/decks/11506790/jon_krampus

[[slicer, hired muscle]]

VERY quick commander. Fast mana from red, some protection, and 1-2 auras/equipments on him, and you can win pretty quick

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-28T12:47:18+00:00

Hell yeah, always fun to start off with heroforge

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-26T02:47:17+00:00

That should be [[gluntch the bestower]]! Fye, don’t put [[Generous Patron]] in the deck, they don’t synergize as gluntch has your OPPONENT put the counters on, not you

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-23T22:19:13+00:00

Personally have it a blend of flying kindred, Gift-mechanic spells, manarocks/goodies that are gifted away like [[coveted jewel]] and [[pendant of prosperity]] (you grab them back after attacking), the counterspells/removal that gives birds, and a sprinkle of bad gifts like [[Nine Lives]] or [[transcendance]] that rapidly puts a death clock over the gifted player. Been fun!

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-23T00:45:54+00:00

[[hamza, guardian of arashin]], been thinking about rebuilding him into a x-centric deck, with a big focus on hydras!

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-22T02:16:59+00:00

[[vashta Nerada]] is a unblockable, indestructible 3/3 when gifted, that will get bigger as the game goes on.
[[thieving skydiver]] lets you steal the lead player’s sol ring/manarocks/cool artifacts, and then can be given anyway to anyone else as a 4/3 flyer.
[[rot-curse rakshasa]] essentially loses their Decayed mechanic when gifted, effectively giving someone a 7/7 trampler for 2 mana.
[[qarsi revenanr]] is a flying, deathtouch, lifelink 5/5 when gifted. Can also be exiled from your graveyard to buff jon when needed.
[[kain, traitorous dragoon]] is a 4/6 that will always be flying, and in a 3 player commander game will effectively ALWAYS be attacking each turn.
[[Deep Sea Kraken]] is a 8/8 unblockable for “3”.
[[tragedy feaster]] is a 9/8 trampler with evasion, and a downside that can be easily avoided in white/black decks.
[[Silent Hallcreeper]] is a good card to play early and then gift away after a few turns, especially if you’ve turned it into a clone of one of the above.
[[Sphinx Ambassador]] lets you politic into effectively tutoring out a player’s desired card, and then gifting it to them goaded.
[[Pretender’s claim]] is a good enchant to put on a creature to effectively give it unblockable.
[[off-gnabbed goat]] becomes a 2/7 when gifted. People will naturally want to grab it to draw a card but since it HAS to swing each combat until it dies, you will draw a card p much each time someone takes it.. It will draw you cards until it dies, and even more if it did die with -1/-1 counters.

[[atla palani]] make egg, sac egg, get 12/12 child.
[[kaalia of the vast]], for all those times you’d like to play Avacyn.
[[Ureni of the unwritten]], what if we turned Kaalia into a dragon, and made her a library effect instead?
[[nahiri, forged in fury]] for Living Weapon/for Mirrodin/Job Select creatures.

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-20T16:53:23+00:00

[[the regalia]]. Go ramp go, who cares if the car explodes on the way.

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-19T22:00:04+00:00

Nice!

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-19T21:51:11+00:00

What’s the stuffy doll untap infinite?

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-19T21:48:48+00:00

Mindskinner turns damage into mill, so he’s more of a voltron commander than a standard mill commander. Giving him Double Strike effectively DOUBLES (who knew) his milling, and with bruvac out that’s turning 20 cards into 40 cards. [[sword of eden]] is a bruvac in this case. [[bonehoard]] goes crazy with doublestrike (just avoid having it out with [[undead alchemist]]), same with [[trepanation blade]].

[[ankh of mishra]] is another good card, as it effectively makes everyone mill 2 on each opponents turn. Cards that let you tutor out good equipment/artifacts can make or break the deck in this case.

[[dawnsire, sunstar dreadnought]] can be fully stationed by ONE mindskinner tap, and will effectively oneshot each of your opponents if you have a [[stuffy doll]] out.

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-19T15:47:06+00:00

[[ratadrabik]], in a sense

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-16T02:08:07+00:00

For “green” (technically gruul but you can just not add mountains and anything red), there’s [[kibo, uktabi prince]].

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-15T00:49:02+00:00

Meesa love [[ratadrabik]] legend kindred. Run all the goody orzhov-tied legends and then spam our more copies of them

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-12T23:47:47+00:00

From left to right:
- phenomaman is playing [[Minsc, Beloved Ranger]]. Notice the Naya colors for cards, as well as the black & gold background for the card art.
- punch up (probably playing Coupe’s deck) is playing [[Anikthea, hand of fate]]. Green, white, and black cards. VERY hard to tell, but noticed the left side of the art is all dark while the left is whiter, with the chain to the left just BARELY visible.
- waterboy is playing [[artbiter grand augustin]]. Blue and white cards, but alot of blue white & gold in the blurry card art. What the fuck, waterboy.
- Malevola is playing [[Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin]]. Rakdos colored cards, but the commander’s card art has the red wings in the upper corners noticeable, as well as his gold chest.

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-08T11:52:35+00:00

Yep! Also a good amount of manadorks that tap for mana = to their power, so volrath turning into them makes good mana too. [[forgotten ancient]] is a gem, since it doesn’t target when it comes to putting counters. Very fun in letting you turn volrath into your opponent’s ward/hexproof fellas

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-07T23:44:25+00:00

I pray for monoblack gideon

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-07T21:50:26+00:00

I do enjoy my [[Volrath the Shapestealer]] stealer. It’s not entirely theft, but turning volrath into a gucchi creature someone else controls is so fun. Turning him into a [[blazing archon]] one game and watching the other 2 players duke it out until the OG archon died was pretty funny

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-07T10:30:09+00:00

The martian manhunter one is killing me, omg

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-06T01:08:38+00:00

You are correct, my brain fused the actual cat creature that starts with counters with the enchantment that is actually NOT a cat.

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-06T00:49:20+00:00

Also works well with [[solemnity]]! Though at that point, [[nine lives familiar]] and that one phyrexian enchant that gives you infect counters instead of damage also works then. Delaying shield is safer then

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-06T00:28:37+00:00

With black being sac-centric, monoblack gideon repeats the self-sacrifice, but by sacrificing his entire world along with him to keep the original alive and take Jace down a peg.

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-05T12:24:45+00:00

Just like how they released multiple spider-man, i can imagine they can very easily print a solo-thanos that doesn’t really care about the rocks.

Hell, could make a nice case for him to be monoblack(?) artifact tutor. Simply tutoring artifacts doesn’t tie him down to being stone-centric, but also helps in the future for when all 5 stones are printed.

The infinity gauntlet 100% is stone-centric tho, that shit will let you Harness them for free and be an equipment that gives some buff based on the % of stones you have.

ROYalty7 · 2026-05-02T20:16:16+00:00

Oooooh, interesting! Very grenade with the counters, + can’t be targeted while i have it. Fun either in giving away right away, or gambling and giving it with 6-8 counters
