After being abscent of the MtG scene for a few years, I'm starting to get back on track in my most beloved format: Commander.
I used to own a deck in each colorpair. As of today, knowing my priorities in life, I cannot justify owning so many in the future. I do however would like to own a deck for each color (budget or non budget).
I currently "own" (cards are on their way) these decks:
- Teshar (budget)
- Naru Meha (budget'ish)
- Selvala (non budget)
These leaves me with gabs to fill for red and black, but I cannot decide on what Commander would fit the list above. I'm hoping y'all could give me some suggestions or input.
(Note; an other route could be to just rebuild an old Rafiq deck and toy around with that)
I love this idea, but from experience I've found it hard to keep all of the decks running smoothly and updated. If any single deck starts to feel stagnant or too weak to play, then you may be inclined to dismantle the deck, ignore updating/improving, or just leave it forgotten. Because of this I would be inclined to suggest either very fun commanders that lend themselves to chaotic & enjoyable games, or stronger decks with a higher win-rate.
Last time I did this, the white deck was my weakest link and the inevitable reason it all came down. I have a passion for the Akroma's and refused to run anything other than Akroma, Angel of Wrath, even tho the friends I was playing with at the time made running the deck always a guaranteed loss.
Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it very much. As you stated, I also fear keeping 5 decks up to date, or even just finetuning, will be alot of work.
I really like Neheb to be honest, seems like a very strong effect for mono red. Was exploring Scryfall yesterday and for black Drana kind of appealed to me.
As noted, the cards for the 3 mentioned colors are on their way. Maybe I'll just stick with those or just build 1 deck that I can can maintain more easily.
Akroma is redhot! She was my first Commander deck, angel tribal <3

For fun decks I'd suggest Etali, Primal Storm & Gonti, Lord of Luxury. For stronger decks with a higher win% I'd suggest Purphoros, God of the Forge or Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion in red, and K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth or Yawgmoth, Thran Physician in black.
