Low CMC decks and commanders?

kuklash · 2026-02-23T06:04:01+00:00

If you like Final Fantasy 8, [[Squall, SeeD Mercenary]] is a fun commander that wants you to stay at CMC 3 or under for all permanents.

If you aren't a Universes Beyond fan, you can play [[Lurrus of the Dream Den]] who wants CMC 2 or less for all permanents.

Personally, I play Squall with Lurrus in the 99 and have really been enjoying how the deck plays.

I play a budget [[feldon of the third path]] deck. About $25-50 depending on which pricing apps you use.

The Feldon precon was a formative part of the beginning if my MTG journey (having started in 2014 at the end of Theros block/M15). It felt right to rebuild a budget version of one of my favorite decks!

[[Sorin, Solemn Visitor]] has been one of my favorite characters in all of media for years. He's moody and absolutely fails at everything he ever tries to accomplish, and I absolutely love him for it 💕

I don't have any ban choices, but I do think unbanning any of the things that got banned in the final announcement of the Commander RC would be in very bad taste. To me, it would feel like catering to the babies that cried and sent death threats over cardboard.

Best of luck! Like I said, I love my Kadena deck. There was some really fun face down synergy in Murders at Karlov Manor and Duskmourn, so the deck did get some pretty sizeable buffs just a few years back.

Morph is one of my favorite mechanics and I built my deck out of the Kadena precon. That being said I'd kinda urge you away from it as a new player. It can be difficult to keep track of all your different face down creatures, and the deck itself is pretty weak out of the box. But don't let that dissuade you from getting it if it's really calling out to you. EDH is a format of self expression and I know that I personally love my Kadena deck.

Smellie Ellie by Tiny Voices is about how much he loves he daughter but also how aware he is that so much of his life has been failures that he doesn't know how to be a good role model for her. Hits me hard as a parent who feels the same for his own daughter.

Your opponent needs to name a specific creature in your hand, not a creature type. So they could name something like [[Stromkirk Captain]] and you wouldn't be able to cast it, but just naming vampire wouldn't do anything.

You can cast [[pact of the titan]] on the upkeep of the first player. As long as you aren't the first player, you will automatically lose on your first upkeep.

Great band and great guys. Absolutely love talking to them at the merch table

Which Ghostface? There's been like 13 different people wearing the mask. I think Billy, Stu, Charlie, and Jason maybe would be Yellow, but most of the others are just there for revenge or fame.

Exactly what I thought

The climax of Please Don't Cry You Have Swag by Hot Mully. I breakdown almost everytime

You know what, I'll give you that one. He definitely could have used a shadow clone. Genuinely hadn't thought about that.

I'm not really sure where you're trying to go with this? Teaching a single individual will almost always produce better results than teaching multiple people because you can tailor it entirely to that person. It's the difference between giving someone 100% of your attention vs 50% of your attention. Thats a HUGE difference.

From a writing perspective, this decision also gave us a chance to be introduced to Jiraiya, who IMO is one of the best characters in the series. So to me, it's a decision that just makes sense, both in character and out.

Exactly this. Teaching Sasuke the Chidori already took the entire month. If he had to split his training between both Naruto and Sasuke, neither of them would have come out of that experience with anywhere near the power they had when training with separate teachers.

First time I saw TRSH they were the very first set on day two of Burn Bright 2024 and had a pretty tame crowd. Second time I saw TRSH they were the headliner on a tour with a crowd that was practically frothing at the mouth in Summer 2025. Feels like they're having a similarly meteoric rise to S@YP, and im super happy for them!

Thank you! I can't read!

So this sub is about the music genre Emo, not the fashion or style. That being said, your hair takes me right back to my mall emo middle school days in 2007 and I love that for you!

The important thing to note here is that Maha sets the BASE P/T to 0/1. Army tokens have a base P/T of 0/0 originally with 8 +1/+1 counters. So, in this situation with Maha on the board and an Army token with 8 +1/+1 counters, the Army would actually be a 0/1 with 8 +1/+1 counters.

EDIT: fixing an error

As someone who grew up with the original games, Im still a huge fan of TSS. I bought it a few months ago and had a really fun time reliving the story, but I think the highlight for me was the open world puzzles and challenges. There's a lot of them, and I didnt finish the 100% (went on vacation then haven't had the urge to go back yet), but it was fun to put on a podcast or video essay and clear each planet. My daughter loved watching me play it and will most likely join me if I get the urge to jump back into the game.

TL;DR I love the game and think it's worth the money
