So here we go! Diving into the decks that currently grace my MTG shelf of the man cave. I have slowly begun to write up a blog post for each of the decks highlighting how I run them and also key cards that I feel make the deck tick.
Enjoy!
My first deck was Vrondiss Rage of Ancients from the Adventures of the Forgotten Realms release. I have tuned the deck somewhat and replaced many of the original cards. The main aim of the deck is to make Vrondiss indestructible and then churn out infinite tokens and infinite direct damage to my opponents.
It has worked well so far and I am still looking to improve it further.The deck is a fairly simple deck that can either go wide with tokens and swing for combat damage or combo off with Vrondiss’ enrage trigger.
My newest deck is a dragon tribal deck. It features Miirym Sentinel Wyrm as its commander and its main aim is to ramp out and put big dragons on the board. It’s a fairly new deck for me so it is still being tuned, however it packs a huge punch. The look on Jamie and Stu’s faces when I create 10 dragons in one turn and make 100 treasure tokens is hilarious.
Another of my decks that I absolutely love is my life link/counters deck. It was my first go at making a deck from scratch and origionally ran Trelessara the Moon Dancer as its commander. However after a couple of years of playing the deck I swapped out the commander for Lathiel The Bounteous Dawn! The decks theme is similar however I found that I gained so much life, Trelessara’s scry trigger just slowed the game down to much.
The deck now focuses on putting counters on my creatures and swinging for combat damage!
I also have a knight tribal deck that is a slightly upgraded version of the Master of machines knight precon. This deck features Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir as it’s commander and is aimed towards putting knights into my graveyard and then bringing them to the battlefield using Sidar’s ability.
Sidar is a fantastic commander because he brings back the powerful eminence ability which triggers whether he is on the battlefield or in the command zone.
A more recent deck of mine came in the form of Aragorn King of Gondor! As a lover of Lord of the Rings, I felt it was my duty to pick up one of the commander precons and I could not help myself my to run the King as my decks commander. It has an interesting mix of combat damage triggers, pillow forting and drawing cards that can become an unstoppable powerhouse if left unchecked.
The King has reclaimed his throne!
As if I did not already have enough decks, WOTC decides to release the Fallout precons and Dog Meat is a commander!
Here take my money!!!!
This deck is really interesting because it I see it as a go wide equipment deck to make as many junk tokens as possible. I have not played with this deck an awful lot so it is still a work in progress.
