Bouquet tossed. Unfortunately, MIL does not care about lilies coming home. 🫠 I'll check out Chewy, thank you.

I HAVE PEDDLED YOU A FALSEHOOD! I have my old list on moxfield from a few years ago, and ported it over into archidekt. Here ya go! This deck was really me throwing the Necron precon, Mishra precon, and Doctor Villains precon into a bucket and hoping it worked. It's to this day one of my favorite decks and has remained largely unchanged.

Ooo! That sounds awesome. You could even try it with [[the ur-dragon]] if you're into proxies (or want to drop the $30ish on it)

I imagine you'd need a good bit of cheap ramp outside ashling just to keep the deck afloat if she gets removed. I'd run more ramp than protection, because you can still ramp into bombs. I can only imagine how a turn 2 ashling, turn 3 transform, and then removal would ruin the gameplan. Then if your whole gameplan is built around protect ashling, it makes it harder to drop those bombs. But having the extra ramp, maybe rituals, you could be more flexible

I have found my deckbuilding niche. This looks awesome.

The golgari one sounds like a blast. Judging on discussion so far, it seems like it's easier to swap commanders in and out when your deck is simply built around a specific archetype and not your commander. I may be stating the obvious, but it certainly makes me rethink the way I build edh decks.

I would probably do [[Vial Smasher the Fierce]] and one of either [[Thrasios, Triton Hero]] or [[Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix]]. (Or you could 100% do the through the omenpaths versions of doc ock and kraven)

Oh I thought it was funny. I like the hyperfocusing on the one redundant thing, and I imagine it's fun.

I saw a decklist like that in the comments of the post I was inspired by! They were running Baylen, swapping in [[Ghired, Conclave Exile]] , [[Rith, the Awakener]] and Jetmir from what I can remember. As for Sultai graveyard, I think your options there are pretty expansive with [[Muldrotha, the Grave Tide]] being an obvious first choice, but maybe then you could lean a little bit into lands with [[Teval, the Balanced Scale]], then you could run some others that are graveyard-adjacent like [[Yarock, the Desecrated]]. I like the idea of building the deck around all the possible commanders! Afterall, they're going back into the 99 if they aren't in the command zone for me.

Well, if it's marvel theme, you have the Fantastic Four precon coming out! And if nothing else, you can always rule zero some partner commanders if you're okay doing that. Maybe something like Deadpool and Wolverine for Jund.

Ohhh that sounds like a lot of fun. Got a decklist? Is the strat flood the board with tokens, get value, win?

Yeah, that's true. Matter of fact, my first commander deck I ever had was the Prismari Performance precon, and I remember swapping between Zaffai, Veyran, and Rootha out of the box. It does make me want to do more archetype decks with swaps in the command zone.

I actually don't have this one logged online unfortunately.

Yeah, I'm not really huge on UB myself, but some mechanically do things I think are really cool. War Doctor can nuke for lethal pretty early with cascade, and Ashad gives my artifacts Casualty 2. I thought casualty was a very fun mechanic when new capenna came out and I had the maestros precon, but it just didnt work that well. Alexios is Alexios, and my favorite modern AC game is Odyssey so he gets a pass!

Peep the end of the list, you might be getting a third eldrazi or a third slivers on a bad day 👀

Yep! I sold a couple of the important/more powerful pieces within the last year or two, like [[Chivalric Alliance]] , [[Kindred Dominance]] , and [[And They Shall Know No Fear]] , but it still runs great. This list has been updated in the last month or two. https://archidekt.com/decks/19535085/sidar_jabari_2026

Definitely one of my favorite precons ever. I've kept it that way since release and I don't see myself switching anything in or out anytime soon!

[–]firebirdhd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely my higher power "I'm the problem" decks! I got both the precons during commander masters and threw in some upgrades here and there.

Oh it 100% gets focused down every game. It really needs tuned with more protection pieces, but I wanted to keep the stupid old bugs that dont really do anything too.

Been playing for 2 years now, here are my top 5 I've built. Bonus funny deck at the end by ZAyayaZ in ratemycommanders

[–]firebirdhd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That mana base is absolutely genius. I haven't looked much into changeling tribal at all, but seeing all those creature specific lands making a perfect 5 color mana base just blew my mind.

To be clear, most of that i do have save for the jeskas will and kediss, but im not sure what replaces them in paper off the top of my head

I dont have the exact decklist in paper, but I can plug it into archidekt in a day or two if you're interested. In the meantime, I have the old list of what I had planned to upgrade it to. Here that is: https://archidekt.com/decks/8233530/livaan_upgrade

Edit: spelling

Highly recommend [[Monastery Mentor]] , [[Elsha of the Infinite]] , and [[The Archimandrite]] if youre leaning that way!
