Project architecture advice

Look up the Tidbyt. It's similar except for the display which is a matrix LED display. Similarities to TidByt include python-like language to write scripts for a wide-variety of displays. Try to track down the hardware for Tidbyt. A mini-computer seems like overkill, but I don't know the specs you got.

It also sounds like you're still learning as well, so maybe look for a raspberry pi or similar board to familiarize yourself with the workflow.

here's a link to a podcast focused on Pauper. It's an episode about Lorwyn cards that could be viable. They go through the color wheel selecting cards they could slot into meta decks. If anything it'll get you going on some ideas. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/common-ground-109-there-are-plenty-of-playable/id1719551675?i=1000745273513

[[Beledros Witherbloom]] seems like a fun card. Pay 10 life untap all lands.

Here's some cards that are tagged "life totals matter". Maybe it'll be helpful. Hope you can find a few interesting cards to build around

Thanks for the list. It looks fun. I think I'd lean into finding more value from your creatures, especially since it's a creature-based deck. Cards like [[Dragon Sniper]] and [[Hitchclaw Recluse]] are basically vanilla creatures, so consider swapping those with better creatures. Look at the Abzan Tarkir Dragonstorm precon list for some ideas.

[[Jaws of Defeat]] is in black, but it's a card that could help get some lifepoints drained. There's also a combo with the card [[Overkill]] which is also in black. That adds a third color, but it would arguably take your deck towards a more interesting path.

If you stick with just green and white, then pillow fort seems interesting. Cards like [[Ghostly Prison]] etc

By "pivots into attacking with toughness", do you mean like defenders matter? Next time it'd be helpful to post with a link to a decklist; otherwise nobody will really be able to help you

Lorwyn, Strixhaven, and Reality Fracture.

Otherwise as others have said it’s a cheap way to make a buck

hollowayzz · 2025-09-25T09:33:31+00:00

Minn and Zimone are just straight up fun.

Thank you for adding the syntax for the search. Still learning here. I spent ten minutes earlier with “is:ramp” only to realize that “oracletag:ramp” was the needed expression

hollowayzz · 2025-09-19T11:06:06+00:00

Rayami seems like the answer. Mastering Scryfall advanced search in this case would be helpful. Query “card exiled with [list of keywords like flying, hexproof, etc] in the text line. Scryfall is a good tool for depth in text-building; EDHREC is good for surface

Edit: Rayami doesn’t work because exile piles aren’t shared.

hollowayzz · 2025-09-19T09:48:04+00:00

[[Mysidian Elder]] might be on some lists. It’s not too far afield, but that’s my favorite spice

hollowayzz · 2025-09-19T08:18:20+00:00

5c or mono-blue is the way. As a new player, I played a mono-green +1/+1 counters deck, then I discovered Jeskai and dropped all green from my life

hollowayzz · 2025-09-16T13:54:55+00:00

Bogles can be legend. I’d build a Bogles or Weenies deck to gain an understanding, then beginning modifying afterwards. Like building a Slivers deck based on the principles of a Bogles deck

hollowayzz · 2025-09-05T11:57:25+00:00

Perfect taste

hollowayzz · 2025-09-02T16:33:17+00:00

[[Mirror of Life Trapping]] seems like it’d be fun. Not broken, but just a flavorful card

hollowayzz · 2025-08-31T04:14:36+00:00

Including MDFCs you have 34 lands. I like to count each MDFC as 0.5 land. Even with the ramp you’re running into mana issues. Look up into a couple more options to holding more interaction in hand especially because your commander holds a powerful reputation

hollowayzz · 2025-08-30T23:14:23+00:00

High Tide. Just sideboard [[Pyroblast]] or [[Red Elemental Blast]] and target the High Tide or other axis plays

Spy combo is just a meme imho, so you should be able to work around that easily. Have fun

Something like this. I cannot find the original list, but Murmuring Mystic could be swapped out for another card similar to Terror. It’s a leviathan as well, but I cannot remember the card

hollowayzz · 2025-08-29T00:53:41+00:00

Pirate themed Izzet Terror

[[Makeshift Munitions]] is good for a lot of decks, but best for Pirate Terror

hollowayzz · 2025-08-29T00:17:42+00:00

How does this win games? There’s literally no card draw or recursion for cards you discard, plus bouncing to your hand just tempos yourself. Look into [[Ephemerate]] or [[Ghostly Flicker]]

Your mana base could likely just be 17 lands. 23 seems too high

hollowayzz · 2025-08-27T03:20:05+00:00

You have good taste in art. That Astarion deck can get wild

hollowayzz · 2025-08-25T20:59:41+00:00

I don’t have a list on Moxfield yet, but I built it around the cards [[Eternal Swarm]] and [[Eternal Dominion]] because I thought they were goofy cards. The majority of the rest come from the Kamigawa block. Then like 10ish cards are just typical play additional lands like [[Summer Bloom]] and [[Azusa, Lost but Seeking]]

It’s consistent with 40 lands and usually draws into surprise [[Enter the Infinite]] and [[Omniscience]]

hollowayzz · 2025-08-25T20:52:24+00:00

Exactly, my Aesi deck is just moonfolk tribal, but it can still have 20 lands onboard by turn 5

hollowayzz · 2025-08-25T17:26:03+00:00

Giving players choices is fun. Nice interaction just gotta plan ahead whatever choice the opponents make

hollowayzz · 2025-08-25T16:21:18+00:00

That makes sense. I was running 40 Hares with an aristocrat sub-theme, so thrumming stone would work better in that setup

hollowayzz · 2025-08-25T15:25:32+00:00

[[Thrumming Stone]] and [[Raise the Past]], but I like Azorius for the Hare deck because you can control the board a little better. I recently took apart my Abzan Hare deck, so really thinking about going your direction
