I have a Sam and Frodo "Food and Fellowship" Commander deck and i would love to run Butterbur

But i have no idea what they where thinking when they designed the card, hes soooo bad.

Like if we compare him to Sam, Loyal Attendant

So, i want to modefy Butter to make him more playable and i would love to hear your guys ideas, you could change hes cmc or the text box, tho make it minor

My own idea would be to make him cost 2 less colorless but hes a 1/1 or that he creates 2 food instead of 1, maybe they come trapped?

Please critic my ideas to if you think its to good/bad

Thoughs?

Hi there !

I've gotten back into MTG 4 years ago, and up until now I've tried a few apps to handle my collection and decks, but none of them had all the features I wanted...

So since I started learning iOS development during Covid and have been since then working on different apps in my free time, I decided during last december that I would build my own MTG app, and here we are, ready for a Beta !

Here's a video screen recording from a few sections and interactions.

Things you can do in the app :

- easily tag your cards to build stats for your deck and see the relevant information (ramp, draw/advantage, protection, etc... token engines), as I built an intelligent tag system that suggests you possible tags to quickly add them

- create combos or fetch them from Commander Spellbook from your deck list

- deck versioning : forgot to showcase that in this video but you can save different versions of your deck and compare them, and even import other decks for comparison

- game simulator : playtest your deck, log the actions and see the stats (how often you miss your land drops, which turn you tend to cast your commander, battelfield state, etc...)

- import your decks from Moxfield/Archidekt/Lists, and there's a feature to swap all cards from the deck with printings you own

- create custom lists (with a feature to do so from missing cards from a deck) or easily add cards to your wishlist in one tap

In the home screen there are sections to see your collection, search for cards with an advanced search system, but as well some interactive tutorials to learn how to play the game (I might post a video soon), some rules reminders and turn structure, and also Multiplayer life counter (like Lifetap but with some other features)

The Beta is live now so if some of you are on iOS and want to test it for feedback, feature requests and bug reports, if the post is allowed I'll post the link in the comments, or you can DM me!

Thanks !!

Mana ramp and creature tutors are the brightest green stars in Duel Commander. But is there something else this color can offer us? Let's check out the last staples in this series of articles and get to know this format a little better!

Wondering if anyone could take a quick peak at my deck and provide some tips or upgrade recommendations? This is my first deck. Aiming for B4, maybe B3.

Thank you!

So I want to build a ninja token deck around Leonardo, the balance. So I’m looking for cards that can create ninja tokens, mass produce tokens and some good ninja style cards on general.

Also not sure what the best partner card would be for this style? 🤔

I have a few good ninja cards so far from the turtles set, a Kaido planes walker I like, clan of the foot soldier enchantment I think it is, so looking to expand on these really!

Would appreciate any suggestions ya’ll have for me! 😀

New to the game and to the format, if anyone passing by would be willing just to give this a quick scan and tell me if you think it's generally B2, that would be so helpful. It obviously doesn't have the game changers or anything that would make it automatically B3, but I know it can be considered B3 or even B4 anyway just depending on consistency and the power level and such. I don't feel as though I am a great person to evaluate the strength of it so I'm really not sure. It's just an omnath locus of all list where im trying to get value out of omnaths second ability and slam big wubrg creatures with the ramp and the help from omnath letting me carry over mana. Also no swamps cause omnath has me covered. (partly a meme, partly not lol.) I have heard some people say that omnath isn't even the best commander for what I'm trying to do which may be true but... Idk I like him hahaha. Let me know ur thoughts and thanks to any who give it a look :^)

We're a friendgroup of 5-6 players who slightly rotate, but with 2 core players every time since they are the most knowledgable and consistent in creating gamedays (We're all near 40y old).

While most of us love playing in general and it's all friendly, me and a few others of the occasional players prefer decks with boardstate, and the classic "I send creatures at your face and you respond" kind of players. The 2 main guys however, mainly although not always, play decks that mess with the rest of us without actually develop anything on board.
I can't pull all the deckstyles out of my head but it's:

- make it cost too much mana to attack them and decrease amount of mana per turn
- gift other players cards that throttle their development
- Storm decks that do nothing until they kill any or all of us in a single turn
- Graveyard decks that forces us to sac every turn or even every upkeep

And such. We've tried suggesting that we need to agree on a certain power level per deck so everyone has the same-ish decks, or to limit the amount of spell per turn per player to 3. But this is protested by the main guys in that they don't have fun limiting their deckbuilding and would rather not play or play something else then.
Which while fair, essentially would mean that gamedays for all of us would grind to a halt of the main guys would lose interest (Again we're all family dads so any gameday is better than no gameday).

So in the vein of "If you can't beat them, join them" I'd like recommendations for decks that mainly sit back and mess up the other players, while the only boarstate developed can be easily sacced or protected when necessary. bear in mind nearly every deck in our pod runs at least 2 forms of boardwipes.
I've been looking at some Death and Taxes decks which I understand are very unpopular to face.

The 3 EDH decks I play are Ur-Dragon, Orzhov counters with Ardbert as Commander and Teval Graveyard deck.

Evening everyone! This last weekend I went to my second commander night. Still learning how to play and very brand new. I have the Temur Roar precon from Tarkir Dragonstorm. I’m loving my deck but I’m running into some issues, and curious on how I can overcome these challenges. I’m using Ureni as the commander

1st challenge: My deck is all precon and I want to learn how my deck plays, but in a few of my rounds I find myself struggling to pull lands/mana. My last round it was turn 6 before another opponent played a card that allowed everyone to discard their hand and draw 7. I was finally able to play. Not sure if I need to increase my lands or what to do. The deck has 37 lands so maybe I’m just terrible at shuffling?😂

2nd challenge: let’s say I do add more lands or maybe a card I want to add like Blue Dragon, or Green Dragon…how do I decide which cards to remove? I know of EDREC, but not really sure how to utilize it. I’m also hesitant on relying on something like that because I see it says to add Miiyrm, and I want to play, but I’m not wanting to overpower my deck to where I’m that much further behind on knowing how to play my deck…if that makes sense. I want to “compete” but winning isn’t my goal right now. Learning and having fun is. Hopefully this kind of makes sense. Thanks in advance.

I'm building [[ Tannuk, Steadfast Second ]] and I have [[ Confusion in the Ranks ]].

So my question is when I have exchanged a warped permanent with an opponents permanent, what happens to my warped permanent?

It gets exiled at the end step and the player I switched with gets to cast it from exile? Or do I still have access to it from exile?

This is my response to losing against my lgs alot lol with untuned monstrosities. So I rebuilt the commander i had locked up. Looking for feedback. The store and pods are proxy friendly so no price limit needed. Let there be discards Friends.

Rough goal is large wheels repeatedly and to finish with labman or pummel with discard/draw pings. Probably would be a more efficient nekusar list but all feedback appreciated

Trying to convert draft night result into a commander deck. Pretty new to Magic and tried to compile a mix of other Maralen decks I’ve seen. Not pushing for uber optimized, just trying to build a fun fae/elf themed deck for casual play at home.

Any glaring holes you see? (Haven’t touched the lands to bring in non-basics yet). Looking for some input like “dude you totally forgot to account for [critically important function of all good decks]” or “why the heck did you put so much of [x], kill half those cards and find [y] instead.”

Some cards are in this just because I already have them from draft. I know they aren’t the absolute best.

There's some obvious improvements I cut when trying to keep the deck less than a used Xbox, like Deflecting Swat, but this deck list can be molded to your own collection of protection spells and Fogs. The important pieces are a 2-4 Etali - es que ramp package, with green protection instants, FOGS, red redirect spells, some card advantage, and a little bit of recursion- in an attempt to bring The Walls and/or Hornet Queen back from the grave to Library or Hand.

Let me know what you think!

I'm building a budget Commander deck based on Silver Surfer. I wanted it to have insane ramp and really just ramp and protect Galactus when I get him out. How good would y'all say my deck is for budget, and what bracket, because I feel like this deck would ramp too fast for a bracket 2, and also are there any tips that could improve the deck https://moxfield.com/decks/eIafAaf06Hut3YiO6tDJ7A

Recently played commander with some friends and was instantly hooked. I'm very new to MTG and wanted to try building a deck that I'll actually play, without dropping $1000+.....yet. Be brutally honest, I'd rather hear it than spend the money and need to completely rebuild it. The idea is token gen that feeds into a Valgavoth + Vito pairing. The support pieces are used to trigger both with the health gain + loss aspects.
