Quote from Shea_0 »A word of caution if you netdeck older more experienced players will feast on you if you don't have an in-depth knowledge of mechanics, interactions and meta. I personally love hosing netdeckers with my homebrew decks designed to take advantage of them. I'm not alone!
Quote from FexFailsAtMagic »I am currently looking at either Ulasht, the Hate Seed or Nath of the Gilt-Leaf for a token commander.
Quote from Drain Life »Also, a deck is never finished. Build something and play with it. Note its flaws and how you want to improve it. Winning is not the end game. Having a fun experience with friends is.

I'm not alone! @OP, you should definitely ignore any comments of derision about 'net-decking' or whatever. There is no best way to build a deck for a casual variant like commander, and most people don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of every card ever printed, so using online sources for example decks and card recommendations to help you find cards that work for your deck that you never even knew existed without those sources is perfectly fine.

Meta not only relates to card selection but the mentality around their use So regardless of the emotional reaction my statement of fact has provoked, to disregard the notion that older players will pick up on netdecking new players, and to not try to gain a better understanding of your card selection to avoid this scenario (aka to have a better playing experience) - is bad advice. Ultimately, we all do as we please and hopefully you have some fun
Quote from FexFailsAtMagic »Hello, I want to eventually build a reanimation or token commander deck for my first commander deck, but I don't know where to start. Let's say I've picked a commander. Where do I go from there? I can't just search: Good commander removal, pick out some good cards, than move on. How do I know how many cards I need of each type like removal and draw? How do I find the actual cards? Thanks in advance.

Quote from papa_funk »Not running a card because you wouldn't have fun with it is the most important reason not to run a card.
