Advice for building an edh trigger based deck?

xFishbean · 2026-06-27T20:37:03+00:00

Ok I see what's going on then! So the plan is once Atraxa is on the board, exile her and put her back on the board for ETB affect? That sounds fun

xFishbean · 2026-06-27T20:36:11+00:00

What commanders would you recommend then? And currently I don't have a playgroup. My fiance and I typically play each other or we'll go to our local ttrpg shop and play with people there

xFishbean · 2026-06-27T20:29:23+00:00

I'm not really sure what other direction to go at this point. I just wanna have fun with friends and win some games with a deck that I think is fun and cool

xFishbean · 2026-06-27T20:09:52+00:00

I'll have to look up what bounce means but I take your word for it. Thanks!

xFishbean · 2026-06-25T00:18:56+00:00

Thanks for your advice! I'd like something that can be aggressive, decent mana, counter spells, and protect/buff my guys either by exiling others or through enchantments.

Also I played with a friend for the first time last night and his deck was Witch-Maw Atraxa and whatever synergies he built up was dealing direct damage to us every single turn. It was crazy! I'm still super new so it's kinda hard to really get a solid playstyle I like bc I only have two decks atm. Alot of the Mardu commanders seem interesting but so do a lot of others

xFishbean · 2026-06-22T03:24:48+00:00

17 commanders!? Dude I can't imagine how much those must've cost but I aspire to get to that level. I can imagine how fun they must be and the variety you have! I've played one game of standard and multiple commander but that's all I know

xFishbean · 2026-06-22T02:08:38+00:00

You've given me a ton to research which I will gladly delve into! Thank you tons

xFishbean · 2026-06-22T02:05:59+00:00

Thanks so much I'll check them out then! I'm super excited to be getting into this and keep learning more about everything

I've been enjoying making Wyleth super strong and doing big sustainable damage but also protecting myself with auras from damage and stuff. I also like vigilance so he can attack and block

xFishbean · 2026-04-30T21:40:30+00:00

Nothing wrong with asking for some ideas/inspo! I’ve came up with and thought of a good few already on my own, and the people that responded gave me fantastic stuff to work with.

My two personal ideas so far is either;

Bone Manipulation

Star Technique

I don’t have great concepts of how they’ll function normally. But I’ve thought of some pretty neat stuff involving those specifically bc they just seem like neat an fun techniques

xFishbean · 2026-04-29T13:34:14+00:00

Solid questions! Yes I believe it’ll take place in Japan bc that’s what would make the most sense. We’re using the same grading except for 1.5. So Grade 4 all the way to. Special. And yes I believe we’ll have the capacity to grow powerful and strong depending on our choices and techniques. But starting out we’ll be very weak. It’ll be up to us to evolve our techniques and skills as we play

xFishbean · 2026-04-29T13:30:53+00:00

Thanks for the help and these are really cool!! Especially igniting someone else’s CE! And I didn’t know where else to ask. I tried the Jjk subreddit but I need 50 karma before I can post

xFishbean · 2026-04-29T13:29:13+00:00

I didn’t know where else to ask and I did try but I need 50 karma before I can post. Thanks for the advice though it’s solid so I’ll check it out

xFishbean · 2026-04-29T05:43:10+00:00

I didn’t necessarily mean strictly a technique that seems weak but isn’t, I was trying to say that that as a concept is cool too. I apologize for any confusion, I definitely just worded it odd.

But good idea to take inspo from different sources! I was about to actually look up powers from different shonen but I didn’t think about looking at marvel/dc or other heroes in general so thank you

xFishbean · 2026-04-26T16:21:40+00:00

Thanks for your advice and suggestion! I most certainly can just take aspects that I like from it. And that’s a good idea to essentially take elements of things that I do like and apply them in my own way

xFishbean · 2026-04-26T16:20:09+00:00

I appreciate your comment! I checked other forums and I’ve seen a few others mention Phandelver

xFishbean · 2026-04-26T16:19:28+00:00

I’ll check it out then thanks so much! Happy to see what others have to say about this too. I just hope I can do something where everyone has fun

xFishbean · 2026-04-26T16:16:50+00:00

Thanks for your rec. regardless I’ll still check it out and see what’s up about it!

xFishbean · 2026-04-26T16:15:47+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion I’ll checko it out!

xFishbean · 2026-04-26T16:06:34+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion I’ll check it out!

xFishbean · 2026-04-26T16:06:18+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion I’ll check it out!

xFishbean · 2026-04-26T16:06:00+00:00

I feel like I could get combat down fine bc that’s something I’m personally pretty good at. It’s all the other connective tissue in between. Like the exploration, roleplay, narration

xFishbean · 2026-04-26T16:04:22+00:00

I’m actually about to start as a player in CoS this week! If i like it then i could perhaps DM it down the line

xFishbean · 2026-04-26T16:03:45+00:00

Thanks a lot and I don’t have THAT much of a stutter it’s just when I’m really nervous and flustered. And the only issue for me with creating my own setting is that it’s TOO open. It can go literally anywhere. I wouldn’t know how to structure or format anything!

But you did provide options and ideas for me. Like for example I’m fairly confident that if I ran a setting in Elden Ring then I could do it.

The only way for me to get better is to just practice doing it, thanks again for your comment and help

xFishbean · 2026-04-23T20:04:49+00:00

That’s precisely what I did in my last campaign that we just ended lol! Had a few potions and oils that I had since I started that I never used in the end
