MTG Salvation

Ive thought a lot about building him in mono red however I think he fits better in my Alesha, who smiles at death deck.

I just pulled him in MM2!! yay! I like him! He's good and will fit in my mono black deck where if need be I can sac him. Life? HA This is Black, we barter in BLOOD!

MM and MM2 is basically staples for Commander, older and IMO better pool of cards that the commander sets lack. Buy a few Precons and a box or 2 of MM or MM2 and you should be at a great starting place. EDH in a box

He's good enough for me when I only run Sol ring and Top!

im gettin board man! lol the more I accually think about it Nekusar is what im going to build, but I know myself well enough that once i start building, all that chaos nonsense will go right out the window and ill have a super fast grixis deck dedicated to mass draw. I would build an annoying controlish deck that isnt competitive enough, id lose 3 times and rip the deck apart. Just like my mill ideas and other odd ball ideas.

Not sure how to explain it but thought it would be fun to build a deck that is just, well abusive and mean. I want to be able to reasonably play it with out too much gripes but its a deck that is going to be played in a group that is well, more tough skinned than most. Semi competitive. Some ld is ok. Not exactly looking for the deck to be devoted to combos, im talking messing with boardstates, libraries, hands, some stax resource denialish mentaility. Torturous and a bit annoying.

So I looking at Nekusar or something I believe in grixis colors. I think Red is for sure due to wheel of fortune style cards and warp world. Blue is most likly going to be there too and im pretty sure black has a spot. Evil work must be done! Its gotta be a little bit quick though, and probably expansive, able to handle different threats.

Not a very serious thread, just looking for ideas or thoughts of card synergies and what not.

Ive tried and I generally just dont do it. The only exception is in my blue/white ephara deck. I run a lot of islands.

Im in the works with Sidisi, undead visier and Im super excited about it! its going to be a bad ass quick tempo get what I need and ramp up deck.

Skullbriar, the walking grave Simple, easy commander to play. Colors are awesome fun and engaging. Access to ramp, removal, tutors, great creature selection in G/B. Could go token or counter route or even recur/reanimate.

Any big mana mono black or mono blue commander would be good.

Bant tool box/ good stuff. Several great commands to use. Jenara, Asura of war Rafiq, of the many

Most of the good advice on this thread has been covered, but i'll make a suggestion that might seem obvious and silly, but if you really want to learn about commander and become good at deck building, lurk this forum and read into all kinds of posts! Also review and study most of the commander deck list data base. Ive been on this site almost 3 years (not as a member)and have picked up tons of info from great ideas on card synergy to rulings up to primers and guides on Stax and token builds. This site is a great tool next to just getting out there and experamenting with decks.

When I deck build I think balance. I like competitive decks that play fun, unique, somewhat fair with an edge.
I also like to make quirky hard decks work.
I build a lot of archtype and tribal decks.

A good deck is a relative term in EDH. The divide kind of exist between competitive and casual. Most I think live in between. Knowing this you will probably end up building a few decks like most of us. One mean quick or very well tuned deck that wins or really evades. A deck for multiplayer/1v1. A fun casual quirky deck or semi-competitive deck. And then a tribal or themed deck.This is just kind of what to expect, and the more decks you end up playing against, the more you'll be like "What a great deck! I wanna build one!"
Thats how I feel about Narset right now! I really wanna build her, and may I suggest she would be fun for you to play! But I am in between finishing my BRG Dragon tribal deck and I cant exactly deccide on a commander. However Sidisi, undead visior is coming in the mail and I super wanna build mono black with him. omg man OMG!
Welcome to EDH

force of will brainstorm jace

Working on 4 decks at once! Started grabbing cards from the pool to build a Mono black Mikey zombie tribal and ended up also pulling cards for a G/W enchantress Siguarda, Silly Silumgar B/U steal and copy, and Narset

Bant came to mind, first Teeg but after thinking more you need blue to really keep it competitive. Im going to say Oona, queen of the fae would be a fun general to consider. The colors are perfect and she can exile out a deck, essenrually pulling combo pieces. nebuchadnezzar could also do the job, honestly I like him better. Oloro would work but he's a bit too common for me and popular.

I think Slivers are the fastest, with posion counters. I think you can get the deck going in a few turns

I ran Triplets a few times, and thought I had a decent good stuff build. But I kept losing to faster decks. Decks with green just stomped me. I still think I simply havent found the right way to build it, but I have so much love for that card. I refused to play or build Sharuum, so she was the next best thing.
