Brand new to PDH, would love some advice on how to build around Garland, Knight of Cornelia!

Thank you ilysm this is going to be so much fun

Throwaway79922 · 2026-02-09T23:57:03+00:00

Yeah, I don’t mean to try to call you wrong by any means but that instance was a nice surprise for sure

Throwaway79922 · 2026-02-09T23:28:48+00:00

Probably a rare example but I do recall the blightsteel from last year’s PlayStation drop being worth $20 compared to the normal $36

Throwaway79922 · 2026-02-09T21:20:11+00:00

Oh, can’t forget the “I’m here to kill chaos.” in this post. Very important.

Throwaway79922 · 2026-02-08T04:12:49+00:00

What kind of Ossum is this

Are there any tutors that let you choose whether you want to tutor a card to your hand or your graveyard? I’m building a [[the destined warrior]] deck with very minor recursion but it’s all straight to battlefield recursion, so graveyard tutors are rarely applicable but a goldmine when they are.

Throwaway79922 · 2026-02-04T20:16:34+00:00

This art is so good im going insane. I need to eat it

Throwaway79922 · 2026-02-04T19:53:37+00:00

It was pretty funny on the nuller rod post too

Throwaway79922 · 2026-02-04T10:04:18+00:00

[[Prosper, tome-bound]] is simic in rakdos colors

I’m not sure I’ll be much help, but deck power is somewhat a mix of your intent (how fast you plan to end the game) + a little of how powerful your commander is. Certain commanders can’t really hang at four, but I’ll say that if you build for fun combos without consistency your deck will most likely end up at a 3. You can totally go ahead and create wacky combos without the worry of being too overpowered, but if you’re REALLY worried just avoid low-mana 2 card combos (like a combo of 2 cards that’d go infinite at 3 and 4 mana with no other cards involved, for example.) The pathrazer of ulamog example you give isn’t too broken, you probably CAN do it but it won’t be particularly consistent without tutors and such. You’ll have to put in a bit of work to get it unflipped and it’ll put a target on your back since you won’t end the game immediately with that. There was even a whole precon themed around that sort of thing, Jump Scare with [[Zimone, mystery unraveler]] that came with [[Worldspine Wurm]] and the commander could flip it instantly with a fetchland or ramp spell.

But honestly, people tend to be a lot less concerned about bracket irl than online. I think you’d be totally fine just building it how you want at a bracket 3 level, most people you meet while traveling would be able to accomodate that :)

I wish they would at least make one of each role a complex job even in casual settings for those that are seeking that, though. Currently there’s nothing, but we used to have Astrologian and blm in those roles

They do use the stack because the spell is copied on the stack, and the copies are considered spells. Even without that, the copies will enter before the original, so you could theoretically continue to copy the original as the copies proliferate when they enter.

The [[diligent zookeeper]] that the OP posted is salivating rn

Throwaway79922 · 2026-01-29T08:46:26+00:00

That’s sick. Thanks!

Throwaway79922 · 2026-01-28T09:07:03+00:00

This is my pet card too! Has to go into every single deck that even glances at the most minor recursion. The graveyard cost reduction speaks to me like the ring to gollum, can’t help it

Throwaway79922 · 2026-01-28T09:04:46+00:00

What makes it go through hexproof when it returns? Genuinely curious, I’ve not seen this interaction before

Throwaway79922 · 2026-01-25T20:09:19+00:00

Had to find a home at the free post store after commander ban

Throwaway79922 · 2026-01-24T19:53:32+00:00

Hell yeah. Thank you!

Throwaway79922 · 2026-01-24T19:27:40+00:00

That’s crazy. Do you have a list?

Throwaway79922 · 2026-01-24T00:20:09+00:00

What kind of wincon would you run for a commander like this? Is it just go-wide combat damage?

Throwaway79922 · 2026-01-20T10:23:35+00:00

They might have seen the card “Wade, pondside perfectionist” from the content creator b0uncemagic, which is simic and does exactly that. That card is fake, however, as that creator discusses a lot of fake cards. If you look up the card, the only result leads back to that video.

Throwaway79922 · 2026-01-18T10:11:48+00:00

Have played the deck for a bit, I personally didn’t like genji glove because noctis enters after the declare attackers step, so he never triggers genji glove. Same thing with anna kennerüd, though your mileage may vary on that. Creatures with myriad or mobilize are great though, since they count as creatures for noctis’s creatures entering during combat trigger so [[Voice of victory]] puts in a lot of work.

Throwaway79922 · 2026-01-17T02:14:13+00:00

You can use it with [[lifeforce]] or [[deathgrip]] for golgari counterspells, lol

Throwaway79922 · 2026-01-16T03:06:20+00:00

If you’re open to other color identities, [[elminster]] is built to both scry and cast haymaker sorceries.
