His list is pretty pricey but you can build Reki for super cheap and it'll still be solid. It's pretty simple/linear, but the deck snowballs and is resilient and rebuilds fast after wipes.

An important part of Merieke with those auras is you can untap her with the ability on the stack, allowing you to do it again, and again. The creatures won't die so you can steal 4-5 creatures at a time and keep them all rather than just killing them

I love the classics! I have recently built a full old border deck helmed by Ertai, the Corrupted, which is great fun. A cool feature is that the commander can be replaced and the deck just functions slightly different with another twist: 1.) Ertai, the Corrupted with repeatable counters backing the win condition up. Synergy pieces are untaps and enchantments 2.) Merieke Ri Berit with more board control, synergizes with untap 3.) Zur, the Enchanter synergizes with the enchantments and turbos the deck

Back in the days (Era Mercadian masks) we had a saying, as Tempest block was largely gone but still seen pretty often... "how much mana does it cost to have flying, first strike, trample, can't be targeted by spells, has shadow, does not need to be tapped for attacking and can blow themselves up to give you directly? Yeah right. 2 Mana" - and then every sliver player near hearing it went into maniac laugh mode .... yeah... Sliver Queen was insane back in the day. Her ability is so simple but what happens after is basically a messy catastrophy gotta build sliver again with my 2 queens and overlords.

My stick ever since I started playing magic was Nicol Bolas. From him being Super OP in mtg 2013 on my Xbox, with the mox artifacts, to his less than glorious end in war of the spark, he has been my favorite deck to play. I have him as a hate deck, full of removal, counters, and discard. I recently made one around the ravager, filled with eternal and zombie tribal for the limited creatures for the sheer number of wipes he has, to decimate the board over and over till he’s the last one standing after recurring his board back to its glory.

Seton, Krosan Protector was one of my first decks. When Raggagragga came out I took it apart and turned it into that. But I had this for years, it was my craterhoof deck. Another fun thing I liked to do was to steal everyone's lands. what makes Seton special is that you can tap the druid right away, so if you have a hand full pf 1 mana druids, you can play them all for one mana, I did that many times and then I got 2 7 druids and then played the land stealing druids and whoops aæll the lands are gone and then I play a seedborn muse and I can do it EVERY TURN. I played a game where I recast Seton for 17 mana, because they kept removing him lol. I ran 26 lands in this deck, so what Rachel says is correct. I ran 24 forests, a nykthos and a homeward path, incase of creature theft

I've built a Oldschool Nicol Bolas deck using only cards legal in premodern. It is pretty unique I'd say! It has some old evil strategies but the only discard in the deck is Bolas himself. I see him as the evil scheming boss of the deck and he only enters the game when his plans or minions fail haha. I'm also going to build a new deck with him and all kinds of Evil characters that can join him. Kind of like a evil team avengers.

I don't know if this was errataed but Nicol Bolas only cares for damage, not combat damage. Might be a mean strategy to enchant it and make a pinger out of it. With untap effects your opponents won't ever have cards anymore. Even if they draw cards you can make them discard at instant speed. And, yeah, if that wasn't bad enough you can always try to get a Tergrid on board, as well.

Hakim Loreweaver plays nice with Abduction (which can be defense or steal), Pemmin's Aura and Octopus Umbra. If you play Imprisoned In the Moon then you can blink that to put on Hakim in response to a mass wipe that hits enchantments and creatures (like say yur own Nevinyrral's Disk) . Moving auras around is probably not worth it. Matron can go less wide with extra combats with a new pump on each combat or copies of his triggered ability.

I built an entire pod of Legends beaters, 1 of each colour pair, none of them being pricey. I made up some lore for each, but afaik the only one with actual lore in the game is Tobias Andrion, so my long distance telepath pot-head isn't canon afaik. Anyways, the decks are designed to be ~6 in power level, they skip most staples and go well out of their way to run weird cards, and each deck has it's own game plan. Only 1 is a combo deck, and only two have useful tutors. Each deck is designed to have Vorthos elements to it, the cards represent the character's true abilities, combining the power level restriction with the vorthos ones (cards have to 'make sense' in context of the roleplay for the deck, this definitely means some real suspect cards get included for flavor) result in decks that are subbornly hard to power creep. They are meant to be played against each other, but they can be played vs other decks, most of them are fine vs 7s, and 1v1 they can be surprisingly scary, using Commanders that offer very little synergy elements to exploit result in a LOT of space for 'role filler' cards, so these decks are some of my more responsible ones. I think most/all of the decks have alternative Commanders in the 99 you can just switch up if people feel weird playing against a 5 mana 4/4 vanilla (for example).

Also, I’m not saying it’s good, but I do own a Purraj of Urborg deck. I have combat tricks and a lot of ramp and try to activate her ability and put counters on her. It’s slow and easy to upend but I love it all the same.

@@serdna901 is the primary focus to goad opponent’s creatures? Because Karona might not be the best commander for that. You need to goad her the turn she comes in, or have some way to block her if you don’t. My build is based entirely on goading Karona. If I goad other things along the way that’s great. But Karona is the primary focus. Karona herself is of no help if the goal is goading opponent’s creatures.

How did you build yours? I went with a Voltron build. Unfortunately, I haven’t moved the deck list over to Moxfield yet.

Love the Bolas card, I'm building a Bolas Commander deck that has ALL the Bolas cards and any cards related to him though thinking about switching to a Dragon Grixis

Already got one. Turned into a commander last year but I already had a 70 card deck with every Bolas in existence. Just added 30 more

@@JohnnyBoy-wi4kn well it's worked very well in my playgroups. They said it's a high powered deck. In fact it doesn't lose a lot. So I'm definitely proud of it

I’d build a slivers deck if it weren’t for all the combo shenanigans. It’s a very cool tribe but your threat level is going to be very high if you sit down at a pod and pull out a 5 color sliver commander.

just get Cryptic Gateway for your sliver queen, Recycle for your druidballs, Martin just wants Aggravated Assaults and trample buff for the team... vigilance would be decent too for those who choose to use that planeswalker for his emblem.
