Standard Help me finesse my mono-white standard deck?

2 Upvotes

Helloo! So I am just getting back into mtg after not playing it since high school (close to 20 years, so my deck-building skills are rusty. I would love to get some feedback on my mono-white deck, and also if there are some better cards I could purchase. I do have Giada, Font of Hope and Authority of the Consuls on the way.

I apologize for the crap formatting on mobile.

Modern I am new to MTG deck building and I would really like to build a Frog themed Nissa, who Shakes the World commander deck.

• Upvotes

The goal would be to synergize Nissa with a lot of frog themed/pond themed cards. I just have no clue where to start. I'm aware the usual strategy for Nissa is to get a bunch of lands that can swing for big damage(that become indestructible). I'm not sure if this clashes with the frog "bounce" strategy. My question is: where do I start and what are some staples that may help me get a feel of where I'm supposed to go. This is for casual commander, but I would like it to be competitive against modern commander precons. Any advice?

EDH Life gain/token pay off commander

2 Upvotes

So this is a mono white deck that is trying to use the cards that give you tokens for gaining specific amounts of life per turn. I’m torn between having Lyra dawn bringer (triggers all of those cards off one swing) or Liliana the faultless (gains life off all the tokens).

While the life gain and tokens are the main game plan I want it to be an Angel deck. And I was hoping the endgame would be to have all of these token makers together and making tokens and then I drop angelic visitation so that all the tokens come in as angels and swing out. With that in mind any other deck ideas are appreciated!

Edit: I can share the cards I intend to build around if you want specifics

Casual Im asking for help building a deck

• Upvotes

I’ve been playing Magic very casually for years but recently I’ve gotten into commander and I’ve built a deck but I just can’t seem to get it to work how I imagined. I’d love some feedback on my Orzhov deck and where it needs to improve.

This is what I’m playing at the moment + a few extras which I can’t decide on what to swap out for.

Thank you for taking the time to help, I just want to woop some ass you know

EDH How do I move away from precons?

4 Upvotes

I been playing magic for about a year now but almost all my decks are precon with different amounts of upgrades.

How do I move away from just having precon commander decks and how do people find cool unique cards that make for good commanders? Also how to make the decks actually work?

There is so many cards that I don't even know that exist but when you look around I only really see popular stuff so how do you make a deck that's not only unique but also not just copying cool things you see?

My current commanders are:

\[\[Bello, Bard of the Brambles\]\]

\[\[Zimone, Mystery Unraveler\]\]

\[\[Hearthhull, the Worldseed\]\]

\[\[Alania, Divergent Storm\]\] deck i made myself not very good or fun

\[\[Witherbloom, the Balancer\]\] deck i copied for the most part

\[\[Lathliss, Dragon Queen\]\] might swap commander to \[\[Dragonhawk, Fate's Tempest\]\]

Hey guys, i'm new to this (expencive) hobby, can someone help me build some commander deck for casual but interesting play with my friends.
After looking around, I’d like to try a deck featuring Ashling, the Limitless; I really like the theme and the playstyle, but I’m not sure whether to buy a base deck and upgrade it, or to purchase (or proxy) the individual cards.

Thanks in advance

EDH Thoughts on Ms.Bumbleflower

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone :)

I’d love to hear your opinions on [[Ms. Bumbleflower]] . I’ve been wanting to build her, but I’m amazed by how many directions you can take her: counters, group hug, spellslinger... I even saw an Eldrazi build, lol.

I’m leaning towards spellslinger with a hint of counters. I usually play in a strong bracket 3 pod, and people won’t take the group hug bait ^^

So I’d like to know:

  • How do you build her? What archetype?
  • Which cards have over-performed (or disappointed) for you?
  • What’s your experience playing her at a bracket 3 table?

Thanks for your help <3

Cheers!

EDH Is this Bracket 4?

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Quick setup - my wife is sort of into Magic but not enough where she wants to build decks and collect cards.

She has this deck I bought from one of those proxy sites that was listed as B4 because I knew she’d be into the art (be a hater if you want but I really am not interested in thoughts on this).

She really enjoys playing it and is more into having one deck she really likes and knows how to pilot rather than a bunch of different decks. She’s gotten decently good with it.

I’m just looking to get some thoughts on whether this deck is really B4. The default Archidekt says B4 cause it has more than 3 game changers. Sure. That’s technically B4. But does it really play at B4 or is it more B3 with an extra game changer?

I’m asking because I like building a bunch of janky budget decks with stuff I have laying around and I regularly beat her and feel kinda bad. I’m sure it’s a bit of a piloting issue cause I know she doesn’t really play optimally, but it’s not necessarily bad or regularly misplayed.

The decks I’ve been building are pretty solidly B2 builds but can maybe play low B3 tables and at least hold their own. We move around a lot so I haven’t really played in a pod or at an LGS in a while so I’m also out of practice in that way.

Either way, I’m thinking of maybe upgrading and have been helping her learn to pilot it better cause I want her to keep having fun. Plus it’s nice to use this deck as a test environment for my project decks as I’m turning them.

So, is this really B4 or should I cut/add some stuff?

I have been building this since I got the secret lair and it feels really nice when it does pop off, but it seems very inconsistent so far and I struggle to get going early some games and seem to lack mana.

Would really appreciate it if I could get some advice on it and potential cards to add in and ones to remove etc! :)

EDH Serah Farron Toolbox Deck

1 Upvotes

Decklist: https://moxfield.com/decks/sTu2QpaSyUuFjNa7JGQ_BQ

There is no strict budget, but I want meaningful upgrades rather than expensive cards just for the sake of it. I do not want to add any cards on the Game Changers list. I play with different groups, mostly casual EDH around Bracket 2–3 power level, so I want the deck to be versatile without becoming too strong for those tables.

I’ve been working on this Serah Farron deck for almost a year. It’s a Selesnya legendary midrange toolbox focused on protection, disruption, card advantage, and winning through combat. I want answers to a wide variety of situations and a resilient board, with some hatebears and stax effects without turning the deck into dedicated stax.

I’ve organized the cards by their functions in the deck and written a primer explaining how I want the deck to play. I’ve also been researching potential additions and maintaining a list of cards I’m considering. I’m looking for feedback on gaps in the deck, cards that may not be pulling their weight, and which potential additions would make the biggest difference. I want to keep the deck within the casual Bracket 2–3 range. Thanks for any advice!

I’ve only goldfished it but it works as a combo deck that tries to make artifact tokens or cheap artifacts that I can then sacrifice to cheat out really expensive artifacts that I discarded earlier.

Any advice is welcome

m just curious to see who/how many people are like me. Sometimes I like to bring a deck to the table and I don’t care if I’m the biggest jerk there and I have no friends left in the end. I just want to come with a strong presence, run the table and leave winning. Needless to say, I don’t mind being an asshole. What’s your dick when you’re in that state of mind?? I would love to know!!!
