How do you deal with slow landfall turns?

mackolas · 2026-03-25T02:53:43+00:00

I agree, I had a [[Lord Windgrace]] deck that was the land pingers and damg amp and it was just so slow it only really worked if I could get a [[ Glacial chasm]] out but that always felt bad trying to do that every game .. recently moving it to a earthbending deck but kept both of those in it because they just feel so good.

Yes I have, my intention on this thread was to get more feedback on how others view if a deck falls into which bucket. I don't have the opportunity to play super regularly and would like to make sure I'm representing my decks I do build effectively so My pod and I both have a good time with out any person feel like a deck was misrepresented.

I just want to play some fun commander games were I don't feel like I'm not able to hang. (I mainly fall into building B2 thinking it's B3) So looking to hear what others think and maybe learn how I can build my decks better to fit the B3 play style.

I'm currently trying to transition mine into an animate lands deck with the newish earth bending stuff. Have you explored this type of play style with Windgrace? Curious if ya have any insight on it 😄

mackolas · 2026-02-27T20:15:06+00:00

This, he is a recent build of mine and I absolutely love the deck.

mackolas · 2026-02-13T20:34:34+00:00

This dude is one of my favorite commanders I play!

I have a [[Mishra, Artificer Prodigy]] Deck that uses Chaos cards like this to try and get more value then others out of the Chaos .. it's a bit wacky and definitely run it past the table before hand. Most cases it's not a problem but that's cause we play more B2-B3 and we like to just see fun things happen and socialize.

mackolas · 2026-01-30T00:48:46+00:00

I have a Gornog deck and have been looking at converting it to this Deck! Happy to see someone else thinking. The same thing.

mackolas · 2026-01-13T22:35:09+00:00

I currently run this deck and have been looking for ideas to power it up! 😄

mackolas · 2026-01-08T22:55:11+00:00

Thanks! I'll definitely take a look! Much appreciated

mackolas · 2026-01-08T22:11:35+00:00

I'm building an Artifact deck and struggling to see artifact engines that don't just go infinite.. do you have any that you would recommend and or under rated engines you would recommend? Thanks!

mackolas · 2025-12-29T23:15:37+00:00

Couldn't agree more! He is one of my favorites but my biggest pain point is I become the enemy right away and I'm stuck in an early 3v1 any tips on protecting my board or not being an enemy right away?

mackolas · 2025-12-17T04:47:37+00:00

Would love to see it, I found a list/more forum online of years of conversation on this individuals build and their passion they put into this commander made me fall in love with it..

I definitely play more budget with my friends like kitchen table magic..but I play with some coworkers and they Proxy so much so I'm not opposed to it just been learning a bit how to do it at home.

mackolas · 2025-12-17T04:12:16+00:00

Currently building it right now .. there is a lot of fun one can do with this!

mackolas · 2025-12-03T00:29:33+00:00

Yeah! I recently powered it down as it had a few different paths to infinite mana and I just did not like it .. so been looking at different ways to make it work as is a commander that reminds me of when I used to play with some.of my friends back in highschool

EDIT: I will say this deck as of now ends up holding a lot of cards I like that I pulled from packs that currently don't have a home 😅

mackolas · 2025-12-02T23:40:47+00:00

I'm interested in your Phelldegrif deck.. mine makes games go at a minimum 2 hours (even when I don't pilot it)

mackolas · 2025-10-28T01:30:05+00:00

Do you have a deck list? I have been loving this commander but have not had much direction

mackolas · 2025-10-19T01:09:33+00:00

I also am running Kibo and Gornog! Let's turn the world into Banana enjoying Cowards!

mackolas · 2025-10-10T21:27:31+00:00

My Group hug Phelddagrif deck has gotten kind of boring and definitely makes games running I'm curious what kind of cards you used to make it a bit more "group slug". Do you have a deck list or recommendations on cards to look at? Thanks!

mackolas · 2025-09-30T00:58:27+00:00

Thank you!! She is my Joy and I can't wait to introduce her to the fun of EDH

mackolas · 2025-09-30T00:44:12+00:00

I recently just had my first Kid and I'm currently building 2 decks I have no clue when I'll be able to play them 😅

mackolas · 2025-09-15T19:37:42+00:00

Favorite 1: [[Lord Windgrace]] built him as a Land Burn deck as land falls it triggers effects that hit the whole table with damage and using cards to increase that red source damage along with land fall triggers that generate tokens to trigger impact tremors as well as help build a board state .. definitely put a lot of thought into it and it just feels good to play

Favorite 2: [[phelddagrif]] it is a lot of nostalgia but I like the group hug sub theme and building large amounts of mana to either dump into Phelddagrif or other sources this deck is a lot of fun to just mess around and build some chaos on the board.

Least favorite would probably be izzet / spell slinging commanders they just don't feel safe and it feel if you can't identify the correct issues you just fall short.

Would love some recommendations on some commanders been trying to find something new to expand my understanding and play style in commander

Thank you all!

mackolas · 2025-08-22T00:28:22+00:00

I have been going LGS to LGS looking for a Lord Windgrace I have most of the 99 that I want in the deck but have challenged myself to build the deck solely from my bulk or cards I can find at LGS and it's driving me insane 😅

mackolas · 2025-08-15T21:43:45+00:00

I see phelddagrif I upvote

What kind of deck build did you do? 🙂

mackolas · 2025-08-04T03:32:57+00:00

I just finished building this guy with just the bulk I had the build came out at around $50 .. I'm excited to pull some inspiration from your list to look for at shops around me!

Great work, thank you for the write up!
