We've all been there. You stare at nearly a thousand cards you want to play but can only play a hundred of them. Who has time to cut 900 cards? Who wants to? Now, what if I told you it was possible to play them all? Now you can.
Everyone that knows me, and how I play, knows I'm that guy with a shrine to tribe Mardu so to speak, which happens when you've built one commander eight ten times. Now, you're probably thinking, how do you use all these cards at once? It's simple. Start with Alesha, Who Smiles at Death as your commander. Then set aside 38 lands (the lands are your call, you know what you want). Now, take all the cards you want to use, and before every game you're gonna take 61 cards at random from this stack, shuffle up, and just dive in! No two games will be the same, you'll be living on the edge of your seat as you don't even know what you'll be drawing next, every tutour will be a new experience as you figure out what you pulled this time. It's refreshing - although to this end of course it's not an "optimal" deck idea since you're giving up a lot of control of your deck choices. But if multiplayer isn't about the competitive edge as it prefers the environment of interacting with friends...what's the problem? I'm sure there's other colour combinations that work too, Mardu is just what I opted for because that's what I enjoy. And hey, maybe you even discover other cool interactions you never would have thought about otherwise. like brute forcing cards for new interactions. It's almost like a commander greatest hits for your colours!
