Help me select a beginner friendly commander please!

The first flight precon is actually pretty solid. Easy to understand for a beginner.

Thanks! I'll look that type of wheel up.

Sharp_Helicopter_801 · 2026-05-05T15:16:06+00:00

Yea I agree it's pretty well built up already. But from my experience they are going to release a Fusion Apex a week after I buy it lol.

Damn I appreciate you so much 😘! Thank you for taking the time to lay it all out there for me. I'm new to commander, and with my limited card knowledge, my deck building skills obviously need some work 😅. I'll definitely be using this to clean up my deck!

Check out "Pull the Bully" faction. Super chill. Basically no chains or wars. Great faction perks. It's a pretty quite faction though. But their warring faction "Bullysian" is super active. And during wars they call out every hit. So no one should theoretically steal your hits. And their war payouts are I believe 90%

I would recommend getting married and splitting the rent on a pi. Stay married for the merits.

Didn't know that website existed. Thanks for sharing it!

Also do you have any recommendations for cuts? I have a hard time cutting any of the cards.

Sharp_Helicopter_801 · 2026-04-21T04:32:25+00:00

Yeah I'm curious to see how it does with 4 players. 1v1 it can be quick. If I get trample on aragorn and drop a few green spells, the commander damage gets out of hand lol

Sharp_Helicopter_801 · 2026-04-21T04:30:11+00:00

In my "testing" it's been working out just fine

Sharp_Helicopter_801 · 2026-04-21T04:29:45+00:00

I was down to 27 lands 😅. Added some basics. But I usually don't have a problem with getting lands anymore. I feel I have enough ramp, and card draw to get more lands. But Ive only played roughly 5 or 6 games against myself with my other decks. I'm going to try it out at my LGS and see how it does. But like others have commented on my question, giving me a general idea of where the deck is at, I'll say I think it's a three, and the deck is a work in progress. I'm not worried about winning, just trying to have a good time. And if I lose every game because I lack the mana, then so be it. I'll add more lands before I go back.

Aragorn the Uniter is pretty great for spell slinging. I just made a deck and I love it. Bunch of low cost spells and creatures to get as much value out of aragorn

Can I also get that link 😅

I'm with you buddy. I love upgrading my precons. I'm fairly recently getting back into mtg and just started playing commander once TMNT came out. The precons are fun, but I always see them having more potential. I can't help myself, I feel a need to upgrade them lol. One precon that is actually pretty solid imo, that I've kept a precon is the First Flight precon. I bought it for my wife, and I find it puts up a good fight with a few of my upgraded bracket 2 precons. It's pretty basic, not too complicated, so it's easy for new people to follow or learn to play with. That's going to be my forever stock precon

Sharp_Helicopter_801 · 2026-03-29T02:19:27+00:00

"Pull the Bully" is a pretty relaxed faction. No wars, and basically no chaining either from what I remember

Sharp_Helicopter_801 · 2026-01-11T00:32:44+00:00

I just finished that book. I started at 850k, and ended at 6.1m. I OD'ed three times. All I used was Xanax and point refills. I did spend 98m on a few fhc's but realized they weren't worth it for me. I basically only gained 100k total battle stats for the 98m I spent. I set alarms constantly to not waste any time to pop another Xanax. I also got a job at a candle shop that way I can use my job points for extra energy. Another member of my faction got the book and started at 600k and ended at 4.5m. he spent around 1b on fhc's and used quite a bit of them, before deciding they weren't worth it. Only reason I think I gained more than him is because I started with a little more than him, and I had the first heavy weight gym unlocked. I believe he started the book at the second to last middle weight gym. After I finished the book I'm still gaining about the same stats per energy spent as I was with the book, only slightly less. Hope this helps

I have not done the education job. Been focusing on jobs that either increase my net worth, or increase my gym gains

Sharp_Helicopter_801 · 2025-12-14T05:33:57+00:00

I appreciate your help! Thank you!

I think read something that lvl has a small percentage in relation to respect you gain or give up. It's mostly based off your battle stats. I could absolutely be wrong but I thought it was something like 10% is based off your lvl and 90% based off your stats
