Welcome to my weird deck emporium. My name is Austin and I am a lovable timmy currently living in Kansas City, MO.

My favorite format is commander, however I don't get to play commander too often. I've been branching out into the next best thing, Brawl on Arena. I also occasionally design a janky standard deck from time to time.

Need some suggestions for your deck? Leave a comment on my wall. I love helping people out with their decks. Just be sure to note which deck you need help with and what kind of help you need. Also, check out my deck folders for some great EDH resources.

Disclaimer: I do not like infinite or near-infinite combos. I will likely avoid decks that have a lot of infinite combos. I'm also not a fan of Sol Ring (and mana crypt for that matter). I have a Sol ring in a few decks but that's either because a) the deck is colorless and needs all the ramp it can get or b) I couldn't think of a 100th card to include.

Most of the decks I make are brewed on the internet, but these are my paper decks.

TypicalTimmy oh yes, forgive my squirrel brain, thought it was a beautiful card!

tbh, I dislike the dungeon mechanic, as well as The Ring Tempts You, whenever I see that trigger come up on MTG Arena, I ignore it and continue on my original plan and i've never lost a game while underestimating those mechanics.

But I think that card has potential. There are plenty of sagas and adventures to make that a powerful commander.

Also, I'm always happy to see your contributions on the Card Creation Challenge forum. Thanks for being a pillar of this community!

Thanks for the updoot on Yindri. I'm low-key heart broken he didn't get more love and attention.

I was looking at making a budget friendly deck for him as a custom commander. Lots of utility there with close to 400 card selections between both halves of Adventure, all of the Sagas and all of the Dungeons

Please login to comment

Embercleave is a good finisher/combat trick for your deck.

I might also recommend either Mana Tithe or Lapse of Certainty just to have a counterspell that you can find with Sunforger

looks fun!

Bant Epiphany

Choose one or more:

  • Draw two cards.

  • Put target attacking or blocking creature on the bottom of it's owners library.

  • Put target spell on top of it's owners library.

  • Destroy target artifct or enchantment.

  • Each player shuffles their graveyard into their library.


Based on Sublime Epiphany.

I think 5 is the highest number of choices ever printed on any modal card like this. Can't fit much more than that on a card.


Challenge: Make an artifact that makes enchantment tokens.

I just recently rebuilt a trostani deck too!

Have you considered Desolation Twin

Also, One fun interaction you might like is Emeria Shepherd and Sakura-Tribe Elder.

Thank you Profet93 for the suggestions! I really like shamanic revelation, alhammarrett's archive, and greater good and greater good, i'll try to find spots for some of those in the deck.

I hadn't really planned on putting in any token doublers to focus on the lifegain, but it's probably worth including one at least. I think I have a Parallel Lives laying around somewhere.

I also had not considered Emergence Zone, but I'll try to find a spot for that.

Thanks again for the suggestions!

Looks fun! You're probably better off going with a more stomp-y strategy, as aggro has a tougher time in commander than 1v1 formats.

Maja, Bretagard Protector can be a reliable token maker and anthem.

Battle for Bretagard can also help you make a bunch of tokens.

Soul's Attendant if you want an extra Soul Warden

Basri Ket is also worth considering!

Thanks for the upvote and comment Profet93!

Other than card draw I am looking for lifegain shenanigans and wincons. Not looking to spend more than $15-20 per card, just depends.

Civil Asset Forfeiture

Enchantment

Whenever an opponent targets you or a permanent you control as the target or targets of a spell or ability they control, you may pay . If you do, you gain control of that spell or ability and may choose new targets for the spell or ability. Then, if this ability was triggered by an ability created by a permanent card, gain control of that permanent card that created that ability.


God I hope this is worded correctly and is understandable. I think it's wordy enough to be interesting but probably not strong enough or useful enough to see any actual play.

I think white would only be able to steal things under two conditions.

  1. Like griffstick's card above, white could make an 'equal' trade for something.

  2. Like my card above, I think white could steal something as a de-arming for an opponent that has broken some pact/law/social order/hierarchy/etc. Somewhat inspired by the 'Crime' mechanic of Outlaws of Thunder Junction, though worded a bit differently to only affect yourself.

Also white is my favorite color of mtg :)


Challenge: You have options! See below.

  1. Repeat this challenge (make a white steal effect)(if you think I'm wrong and there's more ground to cover with white steal effects :) )
  2. Make a card based off one of your pet cards.
  3. Make a card based off one of your pets.

Estok, The Queen of Dust

Legendary Creature - Dust Elemental

Flying

Dust and/or elemental creatures you control have flying and +1/+1.

When ~ attacks, create a 2/1 colorless dust elemental creature token with flying. Then if you control three or more dust and/or elemental creatures, destroy target ooze.

3/4


What's the opposite of Ooze? Dust I think?

I'm imagining that dust storms are affecting the plane and turning parts of it into barren dusty deserts.


Make a card for a planeswalker in MTG lore, but give them an extra color that they don't usually have.

I really think you need more lands, 23 just seems too low.

Love mono-green stompy!

Have you considered Questing Beast?

Utopia Sprawl and Wild Growth would allow you to play your commander on turn two.

Mana Geyser can be bonkers in late game commander.

Bloodmired Badgers

Creature - Badger Berserker

Bloodmired Badgers power is equal to the number of badgers you control.

, : Create a token that's a copy of Bloodmired Badgers. Then, if you control 8 or more badgers, you also create a 1/1 green snake creature token with deathtouch and a 1/1 green fungus creature token with deathtouch.

*/3


Inspired by the old badger badger badger meme lol

Challenge: Make a legendary creature that is good at killing planeswalkers.

I like the deck!

To me 32 lands seems a bit low. Do you ever find the deck has mana issues?

Rune of the Gibbous Moon

Enchantment

At the beginning of your endstep, draw a card and lose 1 life. Then, if you control there are cards named Festering Newt, Bogbrew Witch, and Bubbling Cauldron among permanents you control and/or in your graveyard, you may sacrifice Rune of the Gibbous Moon. If you do, search your library for a card and put that card into your hand.

"The newt was dead, the cauldron was bubbling, and the witch stood ready. All she needed was the moon"


Hopefully this card is worded correctly lol


Challenge: Ninja'd, see above

April 14, 2024 3:46 p.m.

looks spicy!

What do you think of Disinformation Campaign

April 14, 2024 2:09 p.m.

oh nevermind i just reread the deck description, under $100.
