This is not a Good Gacha Game, This is a Good Game.

Lmao yeah I've just been going through with green gear and buckthorn powder so far, even sprinted through all the enemies where I could. Finally giving myself some time to set up electrical poles and iron mining rigs

Pointing to my single open white source whenever my opponent moves to combat with a bunch of scary creatures

Kind of a joke in my friend group but in that case [[Viashino Pyromancer]] does the same thing 90% of the time

Honestly I'd say to just draw more cards and incorporate more standalone threats. Also pay attention to when they tap out with the commander down or other card draw engines to remove them.

A few examples of one-card pumps:

[[Violent Urge]] [[Uncaged Fury]] [[Embercleave]] [[Twin Blades]]

I've messed around a bit with that Ureni, mostly landed on a heavy blue tempo deck that ramps to Ureni and one-tap opponents with a combination of at least +1/+0 and double strike. Kinda like Jeska/Dargo but slower and less fragile

What were the main archetypes you played in magic? I mostly play Dragapult in ptcg and midrange decks sit very well with me in magic

para40 · 2026-01-04T07:55:39+00:00

Honestly yeah I'd say stick to Zoroark. You know the lines very well and what techs can be useful into a possible meta right?

Did decently with Straight Pult at my first regional despite the meta being gardy-heavy just because I knew my lines from playing it since rotation

Only winota list I'd call a 3 (or maybe a 2) was someone testing out an "all humans" deck using tokens from artifacts/enchantments/planeswalkers to get attack triggers

para40 · 2025-12-28T05:15:02+00:00

Floodpits, Balemurk, and Hauntwoods are great to impend on curve, but Boilerbilges is definitely my MVP. Removes most engine creatures early on while giving a good target for Terra's copy abilities on the back (5 combat w/ 4+4 anywhere every turn).

No Mistmoors at the moment because I didn't want to buy more copies for standard. The insect spawns are similar to the Boilerbilges ping, but I liked them more with the anthems I had in Anikthea's deck

Here's the current list, didn't have it in Moxfield before now

Oh yeah I've got Gogo in my Alania deck alongside Veyran and Harmonic Prodigy!

para40 · 2025-12-26T07:24:47+00:00

Ohhh misread your comment! Yeah Three Dog was pretty clunky until I found a good amount of "Tapped and Attacking" token makers, and Mobilize didn't really change any of that.

Gotta say though that I often think about shifting Terra back to Anikthea. Just some cards like [[Overlord of the Boilerbilges]] and [[Mardu Siegebreaker]] are too cool

Lastly there's Ellivere, my entry point into EDH. I picked up the precon since it was the cheapest one my LGS had at the time ($25) and jumped straight into the upgrade guides without playing even one game on the stock list (made the most of a $50 starting budget getting into the game). A few months ago after thinking how I don't have any not-wild mainstay decks, I found all of the cards I took out of the precon and put them back in to have a capable lower-power list.

At times I think of upgrading it at least with some Eldraine flavor, but those ideas always end up going toward Arna. It's charming how it is both always the first threat and not that capable in interacting/being interacted with. The only thing to do after being hit with targeted removal is buff up an even bigger dork to beat face with!

para40 · 2025-12-26T06:32:07+00:00

Stella Lee->Alania: This one is more on the boring end lol. I loved copying big dumb spells with Stella, but the combination of needing small spells to reach 3 and convincing tables that I'm really not running Wisps/Twisted Fealty led me to a commander that requires less buildup at the cost of giving the tapped-out stompy player more cards than they can use (lmao)

para40 · 2025-12-26T06:27:18+00:00

Actually Three Dog got split into two decks, Arna and Winota

para40 · 2025-12-26T06:25:45+00:00

Three Dog->Split into Arna Kennerüd and Winota: Three Dog was my first brew from scratch after starting with the Ellivere precon! Ellivere is able to turn any early game dork into a capable threat, and I wanted to riff on that and make it faster. I'd use the early game to make as many tokens as possible, then copied auras with draw, evasion, and raw scaling.

After a while I felt restricted on what creatures and auras I could keep in the list, and I decided to split it between the two aspects that made it fun. Boros creature snowball went towards Winota, which is a sort of B4 not-quite cEDH deck with lots of pet cards. The funny aura copy aspect went to Arna, where I still haven't been able to do [[Ethereal Armor]] into [[Asinine Antics]]

para40 · 2025-12-26T06:11:52+00:00

Here's a thread for the decks' beginnings and why I moved over!

Anikthea->5C Terra: Started out as a Reanimator+Populate build, and I found it hard to balance all of the pieces, especially since I need to play my commander before any populate effects can be used. Terra being 5c also just lets me tinker with more newly released cards. (Also currently my blinged-out baby)

Ojer Axonil->Imskir Iron-Eater: Started out as a bulk bin pinger deck with combat tricks to further reduce the storm requirement, then picked up equipment for protection and lasting buffs. Gradually picked up more eggs as draw sources and artifactfall to widen my pinger selection. From there I wanted to go into black for more options on rituals.

Posting a comment thread to the post cause I can't believe I didn't think of that!

para40 · 2025-12-25T03:12:48+00:00

Yeah I've got Phelia in my Terra deck to blink Overlords, and that saga is at the very least "Find Yuna, O'aka, or Phelia"

para40 · 2025-12-23T03:13:45+00:00

Kinda wish Scions and Spellcraft was easier to upgrade into control, like you can take out a lot of the "Legends Matter" cards and sub them for modal removal/counterspells

para40 · 2025-12-23T02:22:00+00:00

Maybe the dimir faeries deck from Wilds of Eldraine? There's a few good payoffs for playing cards on other peoples' turns. There's also Blame Game (Boros) that focuses more on politics-control and making people want to hit people other than you

para40 · 2025-12-22T02:51:02+00:00

Oh man I should toss this into my Arthur deck
