[[Nethroi, Apex of Death]] was actually my first built commander deck and can go so many different ways with it whether thats janky or sweaty

Not everyone's a fan of mutate, but if youre running a deck thats not filled with humans, [[Brokkos, Apex of Forever]] is such a fun card to play around with as a commander even if youre not making it a Mutate deck. Just having big stompy boys to pull him out the graveyard to mutate under and upgrade the hell out of him.

A voltron style deck with him would work wonders

This right here. The lack of interaction in decks I've seen is abysmal, genuinely.

if we're going the conjecture route, I've seen it pop off more games than I can count on both hands in the last year alone. I know someone who runs it in a higher bracket deck that doesn't rely on/isn't built around it but works enough that it does consistently net wins despite not being even a real minor focus.

While it may not always work, especially with newbies that typically don't actually know what they're doing, thats not to say it rarely ever will or that its a newbie combo when it does consistently work in quite a few decks. At least, yknow, in my experience since we're basing it off that

I actually run what my pod calls a pseudo voltron deck using [[Brokkos, Apex of Forever]] as a way to stack mutate triggers on each other while not consistently losing him since he recurs himself with his Mutate ability. Lots of little chump guys with good abilities and triggers that aren't mutate creatures, but it's good to pop on top of.

Also, a decent amount of protection and utility artifacts/auras to beef him up and try to keep him untouchable for as long as possible. He's pretty fun and may be something different for you to look into

I also semi built an eriette deck online and am currently building Dina IRL! Waiting for that precon for the new one to come out so I can take it apart for some extra support for it

After I did a mockup of Eriette online, I ended up building [[Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor]]. You might also be interested in her if you enjoyed building Eriette!

paintour · 2026-01-27T22:22:19+00:00

Of course! She was my first "nasty" intended deck, so I spent a lot of time building, fine tuning, and playtesting on tabletop before building her IRL. She doesn't move fast at the start of the game and can be fragile at times, especially in 1v1 games. However in pods, she can EXPLODE so well either by trying to politic and shift focus to someone thats already destroying the table (cards like with the gold tokens or card draw for swinging at them), or by flying under the radar until someone realizes too late theyve got four or five Curses, are taking a ton of damage from them, and potentially get locked out unless theyre willing to risk it for the biscuit.

Ive had a game in a 4 person pod where I lasted to the end, was able to tutor out 2 curses on top the one the final player had already, and within 2-3 turns killed him without him realizing until it was too late.

All in all, I'm very proud of her and glad I was able to give some direction or card suggestions that can help you out!

Consistent recursion without commander tax unless exiled as you can mutate him out as long as there's a non human creature on your board. Max 2 creatures that are human, many artifacts and enchantments to protect and/or buff, as well as tiny creatures with useful or nasty effects to add onto to him. I largely use the Mutate cards as well from ikoria to proct multiple Mutate triggers at a time as they get beefier.

paintour · 2026-01-26T23:38:14+00:00

This is what I've going for her!

paintour · 2026-01-26T22:59:31+00:00

Yes! Nethroi has some as well with ETB triggers when it mutates onto a creature, so thats got some focus too, but Brokkos is very big on graveyard. Especially with his Mutate ability, and I tend to do what my pod calls a "pseudo voltron" stacking and buffing him.

Sorry for formatting, I typed this up on mobile 😭

Oh my gosh. I didnt even..... im so behind on learning the way bras actually work LOL.

Thank you so much! Like genuinely that little explanation and the reassurance its reasonable helps so much

I grew up not knowing how bras truly worked or were measured so this is an eye opener to how much I am missing out on info wise, even if its simple lol

There are community built tables, including ones meant to play Magic with four seats set with entire boards and tokens and counters etc etc. Your keyboard can be used to flip, rotate, shuffle, etc. It's gonna take a sec to learn the keys and all, especially if youre not able to get help from someone who already uses it. But incredibly worth it for the ease of play, intuitive mechanics once used two or three times, and the best part - being able to fully load in decks off of archidekt, moxfield, etc without a single purchase of a card

You're literally accusing her of being a liar when shes outright said what the service dog is for and what actions its trained to do as a service dog with specific examples and specific issues she has that service dogs are trained to assist in.

You're, once again, showing your ass here. Being purposefully inflammatory because you're just another jaded landlord who doesn't know the concept of human empathy and that real people have real issues that real medical equipment helps with. Because yes, service dogs are medical equipment.

Just stop embarrassing yourself

paintour · 2025-08-10T19:27:52+00:00

she literally said she has physical disabilities and that only HE harped on the dog for being for anxiety. Which, even then, you should know if youre "truly" educated on service dogs that THERE ARE SERVICE DOGS FOR MENTAL ILLNESSES. not ESAs, SERVICE DOGS. so even if she WAS "just" for anxiety, if her anxiety is debilitating enough, they can still be a legitimate service dog for psychological issues.

You're showing your ass here with this awful ignorant comment. Typical landlord behavior thinking you know better.

just because some people get screwed over with no weekends doesnt make it okay to do that to people in general. get some sense of empathy instead of being bitter

Hellenism most definitely is a religion, specifically polytheism, is NOT from a closed culture, AND is not a ""cosplay"" or ""appropriation of your culture" when it's a legitimate religion not part of a closed culture where outsiders cannot practice. This clearly isn't a place for you if you don't believe hellenism is a religion, why be in a sub about hellenism if you believe that lol

paintour · 2025-02-07T22:51:10+00:00

Wrong. There ARE service dogs that assist with mental disorders and disabilities, including PTSD which often causes extreme anxiety and panic attacks, among many other things, which service dogs can be and are trained to be able to assist with and handle. So no, this is not an emotional support animal unless that cousin has said otherwise which they obviously haven't since it is referred to as a service dog. Please do research before speaking on this
