MTG Salvation

Hi, as the title says I’ve finally crafted my first commander deck. I’ve owned several commander decks before but I used precons as a start for all of them, so this is my first completely from scratch commander deck, with Queza, Augur of Agonies at the helm


That being said, I’ve got a bunch of other potential cards I considered adding but left out and figured I should ask for advice and possible deck building tips/tweaks here before I test the deck against other people


Here is the current deck list: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5147113#paper


And here are the cards I have on hand I considered adding: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5147119#paper


I don’t really have cash to throw around so I’d like to make do with what I have here in my current deck list and my other potential addition cards

Thanks in advance!

So I had a look at your list, and it seems like there are two main themes; one being card draw to drain via your general, and the other is life draining.


I’m sure they synergise well together, but it could be worth mentioning that it’s usually better to double down on a single strategy than to have a strong plan B that somewhat goes with the plan A.


That being said, the new sheoldred could be good. It’s sort of the essence of what you’re trying to do, but still closer to plan A than B. It is an expensive card though.


How does your deck play in general? I don’t have the cards to whip it together, but it looks like it should be good fun!

Also, I counted 5 shuffle effects in your deck.


It makes brainstorm not nearly as good, going from a put the best 3 from library + cards in hand, and removing the worst 2 cards in hand, and shuffle them away into just gaining the top 2 best cards, but still being forced to work through the next few card draws before you see anything else new (hope ou get what I mean).

preordain could be what you want instead in that slot!
