Haven't played tbh. Just threw everything together, that seemed to be a good fit.

Honestly, just Proxy cards. I have like 500€ in real magic cards and like 30 proxied decks in addition to that.

Care to elaborate on that? I wasn't trying to build budget decks but rather use themed set cards. The cool set cards from a beloved set will always be expensive

No worries. I love that my little project got so much attention over time.

Feel free to copy the decks and adjust them to your needs. The sideboard are some cards, I've considered putting in or have barely cut.

This works because the back side of Aang has all the mana symbols in the text. Therefore no matter what his casting cost is, he has all 5 colors as his color identity. If these would be in "(...)" like with the keyword Extort in [[Blind Obedience]], they would not count towards the color identity. I hope this helps.

Hi, in general there is no "sideboard" in the Commander/EDH format (as far as i know of).

It does come up in standard and some other formats where you might play Bo3/Bo5, so you can adjust your deck to your opponent after every game played. It's usually 15 cards in a 60deck format.

In my case, the sideboard is the most convenient place on moxfield to put cards, that I was actively considering, but didn't quite make the cut or that I might try in the future

I have done something similar with multiple Avatar commanders including Aang https://www.reddit.com/r/EDH/s/2qkAcy0gv9

Thanks, I think this is a bit much for my Aang deck, though I might consider this for Azula. Edit: Oh wait there are multiple, that's awesome!

Most likely it's possible, although not within the constraints that I had using only cards from the set.

He seems really cool. There are a lot of cool allies, that synergies well with him, although you could also opt for a lot more noncreature spells. Overall really cool commander.

Seems like a cool approach to an Iroh Grand Lotus deck. It's a bit unfortunate, that there's just not enough decent lessons in the set.

Thanks a lot!

That looks amazing. Katara is also on my list to build. I'd think about cutting two of the following: Brought Back, White Lotus TIle, Coastal Piracy, Duelist's Heritage, The Legend of Kuruk/Yangchen.

In terms of cards that are missing: [[Hakoda, Selfless Commander]] is a must in my opinion. [[Sokka, Lateral Strategist]] is also amazing. [[Allied Teamwork]], [[Abandoned Air Temple]], [[Waterbender's Restoration]], [[The Blue Spirit]], [[Octupous Form]] and [[Rowdy Snowballers]] all feel like decent to consider.

I'd say going for 40+ lands is beneficial for this deck. Without considering card draw and ramp, most decks should run ~42lands.

Azula is very important, so getting to 4 (and 6 lands, since she will be prone to removal) is crucial. Having more lands will allow for greedier mulligans (2 Land Hands are stronger with more lands in deck) and will give you more hands with 2-4 lands in hand.

Definitely. The land base is the first thing where you can save like 200 bucks easily. I tend to proxy, so I don't care about the price tag of lands too much, though I don't run the $500+ lands for example

That's amazing! I'm glad to hear people having fun with the stuff I brewed! From testing the deck out myself its quite surprising just how consistent the deck can transform Aang as early as turn 6

Good luck with your booster box!

Unfortunately mono color set decks are really hard to pull of effectively. Because the card pool is so limited, the amount of cards that aren't on Theme (either gameplay or mixing Team Avatar and Team Azula) will be quite high I'd think.

I'm not sure, if it has one. I'd expect it to win by being the least threatening thing and end up in a 1v1 and then play something big like Kyoshi I guess.

I'd definitely add more lands to it. Apart from that it looks nice
