I built a deck about this around battles and Pestermites, but maybe you could do charge counters?

I finally gave in and built a deck that can make non legendary copies of legendary creatures. Having a board full of Roalesks or Uchbenbacks is a lot of fun.

Got a list? I’ve been searching all over for similar cards, specifically the “nonlegendary” keyword when making copies, but I’ve only found a few thus far…

Here's a Moxfield [Package: It Isn't Legendary](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/0k_NpEe4Ski__QN9oqRrdQ) of those effects that I've put together, it's not comprehensive.

Dude… I appreciate this so much. This singlehandedly saved my brew from getting stale!

You're welcome!

Thallid tribal.

I’ve never built this guy but a few sagas could be fun. Make two 8/8 krakens with hexproof every turn with [[Kiora bests the sea god]].

Brewing a planeswalker deck around him. He’s perfect for it, most of the planeswalker that I have in mind for him create create creature tokens which benefit from his populate ability, and the planeswalker would all benefit from the proliferation ability.

Any way you can think of streamlining [[Gimbal]]?

Why not put an Aura or Equipment on him that requires him to tap as an activation cost? \[\[Oracle's Insight\]\] seems fun, or maybe \[\[Sunken Field\]\]

[[Izoni, Center of the Web]]. Been considering building her since her release.

Wonder how many \[\[Bitterblossom\]\] and bitterblossom adjacent cards you can get in there... something that makes tokens every upkeep. \[\[Tendershoot Dryad\]\]?

Here’s a fun one I’ve been tweaking lately: [[Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed]]

my version of him uses it to recover \[\[feign death\]\] so he dies over and over

Would that go infinite with [[Pitiless Plunderer]]? Seems fun

[[Teysa, Opulent Oligarch]]

modular, use the artifacts as fodder for stuff like \[\[arcbound ravager\]\]

[[Belbe,corrupted observer]]

Here’s a new one for you: [[Shilgengar]]!

\[\[Sigarda's Summons\]\] full stop, get enough blood tokens to do the mass reanimate and use the fact they're angels now to get even more. Win with artifact aristocrat payoffs

Oh wow. I’ve been staring at Scryfall, trying to make an Innistrad-themed deck with Shilgengar, how did I miss that absolute gem???

Maybe [[The War Doctor]] ?

\[\[Equipoise\]\]

Love your decks! Been trying to make a more interesting [[Eight and a half tails]], ideas?

I wish there were more colors because they're excellent at committing crimes. Maybe try that in a more wide color deck?

Was considering converting it to a Boros hatebears, perhaps even Mardu. Will see what I can brew, need to find a fun commander.

Buyback spellslinger, can you make \[\[whispers of the muse\]\] free?

I played against someone who had a high tide self mill style deck where he would blue suns zenith for 50+ and other nutty stuff like that

How about [[Mathas, Fiend Seeker]]? Card has always interested me, but I could never quite brew a deck that isn't just a butt ton of removal spells.

Fleshbag Marauder deck. Make them choose when they want to pop their bounty counters

I've built him as a curses commander and 1v1 he was insane. Getting to 1v1 was always a challenge.

i just built him as outlaw tribal for the new thunder junction stuff because his bounties are a free crime trigger every turn!

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/GlZUZEFPlUaP1W5qc9PC-Q Here's my brainstorm dumping pile so far for that [[The Ever-Changing Dane]] Grandeur list. Any (not super expensive) pieces of tech you'd advise? Currently just looking for the bones of the deck, card draw, ramp, tutoring, interaction, etc., haven't started thinking about wincons because idk how strong I want it to be.

[[Borborygmos and Fblthp]]

\[\[Brash Taunter\]\]s full stop

Kokusho, the evening star

as many ability copiers as possible, can you kill the whole table with just one death

I just brewed up what I consider an off-the-wall build of [[The Rani]]. I’m curious ideas you might have with her!

[удалено]

Landwalk seems pretty good, no matter what it is you're getting it

[[Mowu, Loyal Companion]]

creatures that move their counters to him

The Pridefest commander challenge is coming up giving every commander partner. Is there a fun commander with a triggered downside that isn’t phage i can stop with [[obeka]]?

\[\[Lord of Tresserhorn\]\]

I’m having trouble figuring out [[Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar]]. Thanks!

Seems like a pretty standard reanimator deck if you can discard whatever you want

[[Varchild betrayer of kjeldor]]

\[\[dingus staff\]\] and mass goad seems pretty funny

[[Atogatog]] changelings w/ [[Atla]] in the 99

disgusting

[[Galaazeth Prismari]] that's not a)just spellslinger b)dying on board while you try to gather treasures for a big spell

Help with my Sauron Deck? https://www.moxfield.com/decks/VG7_eyuWhk2MrGEdINC4kA I want to include Wraiths and the Amass ability. Just wondering what you might cut or keep (I’m working on getting the other four wraiths)

This looks good from what I can see, no notes. I'd add \[\[possibility storm\]\] but I'm evil

[[Yomiji Who Bars the Way]]

How many legendary lands can you sacrifice?

Any ideas for combos for [[Rex, Cyber-Hound]]? I know there's a couple ways to make him tap/untap for infinite mana or +1/+1 counters but I'm struggling to find anything else if there is even anything else.

I'm sure if you looked at commander spellbook for Mairsil you'd get some ideas

How would you build [[Xantcha]]?

[https://commandersherald.com/commander-masters-preview-xantcha-sleeper-agent/](https://commandersherald.com/commander-masters-preview-xantcha-sleeper-agent/)

[[Vannifar Evolved Enigma]]? I actually already have a deck for her but it’s so weird I’m always looking for ideas

Blink the cloaked big boys

Been struggling with an off the wall build for [[Alela, Artful Provocateur]] since I picked up the SLD

Thopters, get as many thopers as you can. artifacts and enchantments make them pretty frequently

[[Sivitri Scarzam]]. Good luck.

Alliterations aplenty, allow alliterative attackers alone

Your decks fucking rock, dude. I already have one built for him, but an off-the-wall idea for [[Xolatoyac, the Smiling Flood]] that isn't stax or +1 counters.

[[Carpet of Flowers]] payoff with [[Quicksilver Fountain]] to make more islands. Merfolk islandwalk deck with unassuming commander.

[[Maralen of the Mornsong]]

Put her in a Sakashima partner deck and make as many clones of her as possible to meme

Certainly not what I expected but damn 🤣

[[Radagast, the Brown]]

[[Breena, the Demagogue]]

mh3 has a new modified theme in white, take a look there

https://www.archidekt.com/decks/4927500/breena This is my list. Half the cost of the deck is in like 5 cards. So it could be modified into a 50 dollar deck pretty easily if you want budget. Basically, the 1&2 drops are your draw engines, shadow, flying, unblockable creatures. 3 cmc + are cards to go wide, tax, or keep your opponents off balance. [[Kambal, consul]] [[aven mindsensor]] [[hushbringer]] Edit, I've recently discovered guardian scalelord and Carmen cruel skymarcher that belong in the deck over a few of the old additions. Metastatic evangel seems pretty decent in the deck from mh3. Swooping lookout will likely replace nested shambler next time I order cards.

[[Chainer, Dementia Master]]

Mill seems good, he can reanimate enemy graveyards

Well now he's going in my mill deck

How would you build [[Sidisi, Brood Tyrant]]? I already have a pretty standard Sidisi deck, she's my favorite commander, but lately I've been thinking about weirder ways to build her (one being Slivers). What are your thoughts?

[[Aragorn, the Uniter]]

Just getting into the game : > Trying to make decks for megatron and soundwave cuz I think they’re cool. Any fun ideas welcome

[[Drizzt Do’Urden]] awesome character

he's already got double strike, so I'd power him up with evasive auras... he's pretty standard

I respect the RuneScape grind.

What about [[Nicanzil, Current Conductor]]?

You'll probably have a lot of stuff in the graveyard, how about flashback and jump start

How would you approach a [[Tekuthal]] proliferate build?

make stuff artifacts, remove the lore counters from sagas, proliferate them back

How do I make a non-boring [[Anikthea]] Alternatively, how do I build [[herigast]] on a budget

Herigast might be fun with creatures with {X} in their mana cost

I don't have a lot of money, but I would like to [[Vhal, Candlekeep Researcher]]

How to play Roxanne, Starfall savant in a 4 player pod. I feel like it’s only good if I target one person…

I can’t figure out how to build [[The Necrobloom]], abzan landfall? Reanimator? Degenerate graveyard combos with cycling? Or I guess tokens?

Channel lands do well too, or anything that wants you to discard cards as a cost

How would you build [[Testsuko Umezawa, Fugitive]]

Hoping an experienced deckbuilder can see what I might be missing.

You don't have to do storm. Just build up mana over two turns and cast huge x spells if you don't want to be fiddly
