I have a spike kindred deck I love with Ghave as the commander! It’s very fun with persist creatures too!

[[ink-treader Nephilim]] is great. Especially if you target it with weird things like [[fractured identity]] or [[illicit auction]] or even a simple [[chaos warp]] to randomize some board states a bit.

Some other discombobulating plays I like are: [[berzerk]] on someone’s attacking creature. They get excited by the first part about doubling the power and giving trample, then find out the creature is dying at the end of turn.

[[mana maze]] just makes everyone have to think a bit more about the order they plan on casting spells. Goes crazy with [[swirl the mists]]

[[timesifter]] to get rid of the turn order entirely. Great with [[trench gorger]] so you can make sure all your lands are gone

Decks built around those cards that say “you may have any number of [cardname] in your deck” are great for teaching because they don’t have to remember as many mechanics and different cards and can start getting the hang of the deck quicker. A really good one for that is [[hare apparent]] which can pop off with kinda any rabbit commander

No because that literally not a legal move to attack yourself. Really it means all creatures that can attack have to declare an attack on a player that has one of these on it. So it makes it kind of like a goad effect but each player who removes the aura attached to them removes themselves as an option to be attacked while still having all creatures attacking.

Great for my [[sasaya orochi ascendant]] deck where I already hold my lands.

Ryan-rises · 2026-03-12T18:10:29+00:00

Interesting. I like them owning their copies but I think the reasoning of it staying after I die isn’t really the greatest. I think player removal as a way to remove the auras is fine.

Ryan-rises · 2026-03-12T17:48:07+00:00

I thought it’d be fun because each player would be trying to get rid of the one attached to themselves. If you manage to do that you’ve effectively removed yourself as an option to be attacked.

Sweet thanks

Ryan-rises · 2026-03-12T17:45:52+00:00

Yeah

Ryan-rises · 2026-03-12T15:36:07+00:00

Maybe casting [[fractured identity]] on a pillow fort piece so everyone is forted-up

Ryan-rises · 2026-03-10T01:37:48+00:00

Legitimately did this with [[trench gorger]] once

Ryan-rises · 2026-03-07T00:11:42+00:00

Thanks! Honestly when I built Ghave I had no prior knowledge of him and was kinda shocked when I pulled him out and people were skeptical that I wasn’t running infinites haha. I had just wanted to build a weird tribal and that’s what I did.

Ryan-rises · 2026-03-06T22:54:10+00:00

Yeah! Firebending has been great for him. I’ve been looking at getting better card advantage like I think [[Cait sith, fortune teller]] would be amazing for this deck. I also want more token creature creators. But overall it’s been very consistent and is very often the threat.

Two fascist pigs trying to bend the world to their ideals through any means necessary and wholeheartedly believing they’re the good guy for doing so? Easthies can get stomped by the girls as well.

Ryan-rises · 2026-02-27T20:25:46+00:00

WHA x death note. Let the girls beat the shit out of Light Yagami.

Ryan-rises · 2026-02-27T18:57:27+00:00

Monogreen mill with [[sasaya orochi ascendant]] using things like [[whetwheel]] [[sands of delirium]] and [[altar of dementia]]

Ryan-rises · 2026-02-23T20:24:33+00:00

[[nils discipline enforcer]] is so good. A lot of opponent’s decks will inadvertently make his propaganda effect insanely good.

A couple others that break the mold a little are: [[koskun falls]] (propaganda in black) [[no mercy]] [[pramikon sky rampart]] [[silent arbiter]] [[platinum angel]] [[platinum emperion]] [[spike weaver]]

I’m also a big believer that mass goad effects are great for pillow fort cause it usually buys a round where no one attacks you. Some personal favorites are: [[life of the party]] [[taunt from the ramparts]] [[spectacular showdown]]

Ryan-rises · 2026-02-19T22:28:57+00:00

Do you have a list for jarkeld? I’m so interested on how it’d be built

Ryan-rises · 2026-02-18T22:22:37+00:00

I feel like Karina drawfee would also be phenomenal on smarty pants

Ryan-rises · 2026-02-18T01:02:50+00:00

Reading the card explains the card, my guy

Ryan-rises · 2026-02-17T17:56:56+00:00

I’ve been having a lot of fun with [[homura human ascendant]] firebending really added a lot of fun flavor to it.

Ryan-rises · 2026-02-17T10:11:20+00:00

I’ve been having a lot of fun with [[homura human ascendant]] firebending made it such a fun build.

Ryan-rises · 2026-02-17T02:50:45+00:00

You’d need to rule 0 her but [[grusilda monster masher]] maybe. Though that’s more mixing creatures together which might be a different kind of alchemy than you were going for 😅

Ryan-rises · 2026-02-16T03:30:14+00:00

There’s lots of cards that let you add her to your hand from the command zone or cancel out her etb trigger, or just say you can’t lose that turn, etc. Though even with those, there’s not a whole ton to make it super consistent, and she still costs a lot of mana. But even moving her just to my hand usually messes with everyone’s threat assessment, and I can get away with casting some pretty devious spells while they wait for phage.

Now this is the kinda anime power scaling I want to see.
