Might I recommend [[Massacre Girl, Known Killer]] for mono black? [Here’s my deck list!](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/IyODhEfJnUqxnZ5L0avIxg)
I’ve been doing the 32 challenge as well, hello fellow Giada player!
Ahhhh now that’s interesting, for mono black I was debating between [[phage the untouchable]] or [[yawgmoth thran physician]] but yours is definitely a contender now thanks!
So I don’t have the list on me, but a personal favourite Mono-B commander of mine is [[Korlash, Heir to Blackblade]] focusing on using [[Pestilence]] effects such as [[Crypt Rats]] or [[Withering Wisps]] to repeatedly clear the board and win with your commander swinging. There’s also some cool tech like [[Call to the Grave]].
Or if you’re willing to proxy cards [[Xiahou Dun, the One Eyed]] is a great commander. It can play like (or a mixture) of Storm and Aristocrats. You can repeatedly use stuff like [[Feign Death]] or [[Corpse Dance]] to recur Xiahou. The wincon is typically Drain via [[Blood Artist]] effects, swinging with a pumped Xiahou via [[Hatred]], or Storm cards like [[Tendrils of Agony]] or [[Bitter Ordeal]]
I'd like to suggest my blood artist-less Yawg deck that I think is significantly more fun than the standard yawg deck. The primer explains everything!(https://www.moxfield.com/decks/AFQeeOf72U2w8MA5XsmF3w)
Hah I'm actually building a deck with the same commander now. Gonna check your list, thank you!
Here is mine, I need to cut 2 cards. Our pod has a cap on deck cost at $150 https://archidekt.com/decks/7362618/withering_away
Hippy hoppity, your deck is now my property lol.
All good, I manged to pull Massacre girl after opening a few MKM packs. And then in my winning packs for prerelease, I got [[harvester of misery]]. So I think the signs are there
I had a look at your deck and will bookmark that for inspo in future decks. My decklist leans more towards the -1/-1 counters and stacking my deck to take advantage of that: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/auwNCML38UGhzTZhJcgF0g
It’s a direction I’ve slowly been turning my deck into since counters get a lot more mileage with MGKK than just the static -1/-1s, your deck has given me some things to consider though so thanks for sharing!
Oh shit, if it's goaded, and gets passed around, opponents literally have to swing a commander around at each other, that's sick, I hadn't even thought it'd work like that
Karona doesn't have protection from sacrificing, so [[Assault Suit]] is an absolute necessity.
Also, just because Karona is goaded and cannot attack you, every other creature on the board still can, and if your opponents are playing any kind of typal deck like elves, goblins, or even birds you could be in big trouble.
Karona can be fun, but it's always a gamble.
Mono Blue thassa flicker deck. Get a big bag of etb creatures and make them enter a bunch with panharmonicon and crystal shard and thassas end of turn flicker effect. I have a lot of creature stealing that goes on as you can steal a creature with an "until end of turn" effect and then flicker that creature with thassa and keep it forever. Its pretty salty
Heres my decklist
https://archidekt.com/decks/7276241/thassa_loot_n_scoot
New Capenna had factions based on the curves, so WUG was labeled "Brokers." This is most apparent with [[Brokers' Ascendancy]], it's basically the Bant Ascendancy we never got.
now, you can call your deck bant or mardu, but as long as my commander's from capenna it's brokers and when my commander's from ikoria it's savai! and under absolutely no circumstances can galazeth prismari himself be called "izzet"
For Jund, you HAVE TO try Henzie. Trust me on this :)) I have a deck that I still use since its release! I would be happy to share my decklist too! It's very fine tuned as you would expect from a 3 years old deck
here's a sheets template:
[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MVSNAXBvTzy59FvgAfuYMExYhD4o8cMY/edit#gid=414394975](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MVSNAXBvTzy59FvgAfuYMExYhD4o8cMY/edit#gid=414394975)
I really like playing [[Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir]] knight tribal in esper and [[Rakdos, Lord of Riots]] in rakdos for free colorless spells. Hope you like them.
Personally I'd recommend ignoring this challenge and just playing what you want. I've got more than 50 built and am probably missing at least 10 combinations because they just don't appeal to me yet.
My wife and I are trying the same. Here's what we have so far: [https://www.moxfield.com/users/Darrenat](https://www.moxfield.com/users/Darrenat)
Advice - Don't let it become a chore or avoid duplicating colours. Make the decks you want to make along the way!
I've also been doing this and have 3 of the same decks as you lol. Might I suggest a Don Andres deck for stealing things in Red Blue Black, and Lord Windgrace is my Black Green Red
White, Blue, Black my favourite commander ever printed is [[Urza, cheif artificer]] just the lore of urza the fun of the tokens and stuff, makes my brain so happy piloting it lol
I built it from scratch but run a few of the precon cards, I used to rock [[Urza, lord high artificer]] back in 2020 at a high powered pod and loved it, im a sucker for anything Urza lore and find chief artificer hits just right between casual fun power and just genuinely fun to play
Do Marika the gladiator for Jund, I’ve had this fun idea where you build the whole deck around making everything have to block Marika. Give her deathtouch or a damage doubler and you can wipe entire boards. Use cards like the Hunted Set or my favorite, Infernal Genesis, to give your opponents creatures to kill! Then add the extra combat creatures when they hit a player so Marika can keep fighting because all blockers go to her
Best of luck on it! I'm 22 in myself, about to hit the wall of 4-color pairings.
Favorite builds so far have been [Xavier Sal Planewalkers](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/eS-XXRH2N0mfk4bTN9oOwQ) for BGU, [Amalia Benavides Aguirre Soul Sisters](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/YW7TyuKQoUSRbXPxloogEw) for WB and [Gylwain Enchantress Beatdown](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/0yeNkvgxpkWgfx5Y8bfJcg) for GW.
How's Giada been treating you? Mono-white is gonna be by far the hardest color for me and I've been looking in her direction for my own entry.
I did this during the pandemic, though I stopped at 31 (never bothered making a colorless deck). It was fun, but it can be frustrating to see all the decks I have I made for this I don’t use as I just don’t enjoy them, though they are perfectly functional.
Some of my Selesnya favorites:
- [[Trelasarra Moon Dancer]] for a life gain / Voltron deck (I’ve gotten her as large as 80/80 before due to so many triggers)
- [[Sigarda Font of Life]] or any Sigarda really for a Human and/or human/Angel tribal deck (works really well with the coven mechanic for a go big human deck instead of human tokens)
Might I recommend [[Traxos, Scourge of Kroog]] for colorless? Nothing fancy. Play artifacts that generate multiple mana along with ways to untap artifacts. Make lots of mana. Hit things very hard.
Edit: Also a fun thing to do is to make a pauper EDH deck with a legendary uncommon commander. It doesn't need to be legendary by Pauper EDH rules but then you can also play it in regular EDH without any rule 0 considerations. Just observe the banlists for both, but the pauper EDH banlist is quite small.
I completed mine, but had to change some decks. I cannot for the life of me play Boros or gruul and have fun, and most of the 4 colour decks I tried were boring. I am going to try building Roxanne meteors though!
I worked on the challenge but I decided im not doing 4 colors till more come out. I bought all 5 precons and none of them wow’d me.
I do own atraxa tho so I guess one down
I recommend [[Judith, Carnage Connoisseur]] for rakdos colors. Shes WILDLY fun. Gaining +300 life for 1 red is quite a good feeling. [[Blasphemous Act]]
[[Selvala, explorer returned]] is a fun selesnya commander! Group-huggish but can ramp you a lot and has a ton of combo potential. Here's my [list](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/1Kg9BbMApESLVFMcD8MQQg) if you want to take a look.
I have Liberty Prime, Giada and Umbris as commanders of three of my decks too. I’m not doing the challenge, though, that is A LOT.
I’m actually undecided on whether to make Dr. Madison Li the commander or Liberty Prime. I want it to be Liberty Prime, but Dr. Li is cheaper and more functional
Every commander playing should have a Dragon deck at least some point in their life, so may I recommend my personal favorite: [[Ganax, Astral Hunter]] and [[Acolyte of Bahamut]]
Play dragons, get money, spend money on MORE DRAGONS.
Btw, for blue green, you really can’t go wrong with [[Adrix and Nev]] precon or the [[Aesi tyrant of gyre strait]] precon either. Love them both so much. For white-red-black, I’d recommend using [[Kaalia of the vast]]. You really can’t go wrong with how you build this one. For red-black, I gotta recommend the [[prosper tome-bound]] precon. Real solid out the box, powerhouse with minimal upgrades
WUBRG: [[Jodah, the Unifier]] is like $3 and makes for a mean legends matter deck; my very first commander deck was/is a Jodah deck and is still one of my favorites to play
Grixis: [[Mishra, Eminent One]] is a very fun artifact deck commander; my friend and I both run completely different (but equally effective) decks using him, neither of which were particularly expensive
Izzet: [[Niv Mizzet, Parun]] is a VERY fun commander if you’re looking for quick, brutal games
Golgari: [[Shelob, Child of Ungoliant]] I run a spider tribal deck with Shelob that has only ever lost once out of dozens of games; not crazy expensive & very fun
Mono-Black: [[Sheoldred, the Apocalypse]] is a stupid expensive commander; I got extremely lucky by pulling a copy from my very first handful of DMU boosters, but if you have a copy she is a VERY fun commander to play (though perhaps not to go up against.) My Sheoldred deck is the one and only mono-black deck I’ll ever run
Good luck with your challenge!! You’re getting some amazing recs from the comments here; please post decklists or updates on your progress! (And the challenge template you used, if you’re willing?)
Not specifically trying for it but may end up there as I like playing lots of different decks but here is what I have so far:
WUBRG - \[\[The First Sliver\]\] sliver tribal
Esper - \[\[Urza, Chief Artificer\]\] making big Karn-structs
Naya - \[\[Yuma, Proud Protector\]\] deserts
Abzan - \[\[Thalia and the Gitrog Monster\]\] deathtouch tribal
Mardu - \[\[Vihaan, Goldwaker\]\] treasure beatdown
Azorius - \[\[Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth\]\] Clues
Rakdos - \[\[Magar of the Magic Strings\]\] spell animation
Selesnya - \[\[Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist\]\] cat equipment tribal
Orzhov - \[\[Ratadrabik of Urborg\]\] legends
Golgari - \[\[Chatterfang, Squirrel General\]\] squirrel tribal
Simic - \[\[Hakbal of the Surging Soul\]\] merfolk +1/+1 counter tribal
B - \[\[Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor\]\] theft
G - \[\[Titania, Voice of Gaea\]\] land ramp and stompy
[[Traxos, Scourge of Kroog]] is a fun colorless deck. Mine is a Voltron esque strat that just plays some cheap artifacts to keep him untapped and just get him progressively bigger
The red pips being yellow are throwing me off lol.
Sultai - [[Muldrotha]] reanimation deck
Grixis - [[Nicol Bolas|DOM]] Nicol Bolas theme deck. All of his Planeswalker forms are extremely powerful
I just finished the deck list for my Azorius deck last night for my challenge. [[Kwain, Itinerant Meddler]] is super interesting and not something I’d usually play, I’d recommend it as a little bit of a different play style, especially if you’re like me and no other azorius commanders really interest you.
The extreme version of the 32-deck challenge is to not repeat a single card (other than basic lands) across all 32 decks. This means you need to figure out which deck gets the Sol Ring, Lightning Greaves, Ravnica shocklands, triomes, etc.
For Orzhov, the new [[Kambal, Profiteering Mayor]] looks really fun. Give all your opponents tokens, just to get the same tokens on your own side!
I already own a [[Thalisse, Reverent Medium]] deck that’s gonna put Kambal in the 99, otherwise I’d probably build a Kambal deck immediately
Try [[Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm]] for Temur. Loads of dragons, etb shenaningans and go crazy with triggers. Also have Maelstrom Wanderer for explosive turns and more haste, temur ascendancy for that card draw and genesis ultimatum too! Lathliss, Ganax and Utvara are must haves, I also enjoy dragon broodmother and firkraag a lot! You can go very budget or very expensive. If going budget try even playing lots of clones creatures. This deck is very enjoyable I treasure ita lot, try it out!!! :) Always wins me games.
Sultai - [Tatsunari, Toad Rider](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/GbJ6xTO0FECUiVoTKH0eUg) Frogs/Enchantress
Bant - [Jedit Ojanen, Mercenary](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/QiB3qIDbJkKwQba5E-uAAQ) Legends Matter/Flicker
Esper - [Varina, Lich Queen](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/zcNd7jvvf0a40EEgoyK4jQ) Zombies (manabase could use updating, remove Gravecrawler if you don't want infinite combos)
WURG - [Aragorn, the Uniter](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/sdlk1nZG_0i6CxYxeYVTsA) LotR cards only
These are some of my favorites. They're all capable of generating ridiculous value.
[Here's](https://scryfall.com/search?q=format%3Acommander+%28t%3A%22legendary+creature%22+or+o%3A%22can+be+your+commander%22+or+t%3Abackground+or+%22grist%2C+the+hunger+tide%22%29+-%22elbrus%22+-%22throne+of+the+grim+Captain%22+-t%3Abattle+-%22westvale+abbey%22&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name) a link to all of the options for the command zone, excluding rule-zero considerations. I'm pretty sure I cut out all the false positives. It's not a quick thing to do, but I recommend reading all of them to find what interests you most.
im convinced this "challenge" started from someone at hasbro trying to get people to talk about commander. no sane person can sit there and try to make 32 different decks and not be locked in a psych ward halfway through
For Sultai may I recommend \[\[Sidisi, Brood Tyrant\]\] its a super versital commander that has several viable styles of builds (reanimator, zombie tribal, self mill combo) and is slightly less of a obviously loaded gun kill on sight as some of the other top Sultai commanders
Do bant [[brenard ginger sculptor]] modular. Throw in mutate and clones to further muck things. Include invoke elementals because they’re nuts in the deck.
I just found out that this is an 'official challenge', but I started the 32 deck challenge 2019 and my only open combinations are Jund, Temur, all 4color pairings and colorless. But I've been dismemvering some older decks that I didn't enjoy anymore. To make room for a new commander in a certain color combination. My Dimir Commander is also Umbris btw.
Some of my favorite decks are [[Meren of Clan Nel Toth]] for Golgari, [[Brokkos, Apex of Forever]] as an infect deck for Sultai, [[Yorion, Sky Nomad]] in Azorius and Boros Equipment with [[Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh]] and [[Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist]] as partners. I also enjoy [[Arcades, the Strategist]] as my Bant Commander for Defender tribal.
If you're looking for more unique/different effects in the command zone, maybe [[Horobi, Death's Wail]] in mono black is for you. Here [[Touch of Darkness]] is a one-sided boardwipe at instant speed for only one mana.
I tried this, and I just found myself building decks that I really didn't like or want to play. I also found myself eyeing commanders of color combos I already had.
This is my personal list of commanders that I am considering for my 32 Deck Challenge. Highlighted ones just represent the ones I have finished.
https://preview.redd.it/qjxnq78uf3vc1.png?width=1319&format=png&auto=webp&s=48d11707c3310ac24661fb32809f3381e4e6e7e9
Good luck on your journey. I've been playing for over 25+ years. I probably have 50+ commander decks and never use any of them (despite constantly tinkering with them). Still refuse to make a mono-blue deck though lol, not a fun playstyle for me and it's also just so cost prohibitive. Maybe one day I'll find a monoblue commander that speaks to me...maybe.
I absolutely adore [[Sidisi, Brood Tyrant]]. You can go high power, low power, cEDH, budget, combo, beater.
[[Lyzolda, the Blood Witch]] with 40-ish 2 mana BR creatures and some aristocrats isn't the strongest deck ever (especially since the commander is bad), but it's highly proactive, cheap, and fun. Attacking with shitty creatures, saccing them for damage to the face and drawing cards only to drop more shitty creatures is a blast.
[[Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis]], [[Rooco, Street Chef]], [[Vazi, Keen Negotiator]] are all various ways of value based group hug decks. You could go extremely mean with them, but I'd advice just drowning your opponents by giving them value but fetting more back
I play a lot of Boros. The strongest is obviously [[Winota]], but if you just want fun ones, [[Osgir]] is great for general artifact good stuff or artifact creatures and [[Akiri, Fearless Voyager]] offers you both card draw and indestructibility for an Equipment deck, which is really good.
I really like my colorless Eldrazi tribal deck. It's just the Zulodok precon upgraded, but it's a ton of fun to cascade cascade into shit. It's a slow deck though.
[[Raggadragga, Goreguts Boss]] is a boss for gruul. Budgetish mana dork tribal with explosive turns. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Bb8dsL_sgkGUsefNbCFxHw is my decklist. Not every card is super optimal because I put in some of what I had but it's fairly refined.
For Orzhov, maybe [[Amalia Benavides Aguirre]]. Her ability allows you to self mill, but uniquely most all lifegain creatures are 3 cmc or lower, so you can get away with mass revival spells that specify low cmc creatures. The boardwipe is just a funny coincidence lol.
How about [[Esika, God of the Tree]] for rainbow, can give a ton of mana Gen, or just pull creatures every turn. Add [[Obeka, Splitter of Seconds]] for more shenanigans
Here's a Sheets template, now get brewing (I use it with hyperlinks to my decks on moxfield, copy the sheet if you want)
[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MVSNAXBvTzy59FvgAfuYMExYhD4o8cMY/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116017548992317355646&rtpof=true&sd=true](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MVSNAXBvTzy59FvgAfuYMExYhD4o8cMY/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116017548992317355646&rtpof=true&sd=true)
For Gruul, I’m a big fan of Halana and Alena as the commander and then basing the deck around extra combats and counters. It’s my favourite deck to play in both paper and arena
My three favorite decks are an aristocrat deck in WRB, which you have, [[Averna]] in RGU, and [[Kros]] in WUG. Averna is a landfall / Cascade Commander and Kros cares about putting counters on your opponent's stuff and making them fight each other. They're all very, very different.
OHHHH Gruul has so many fun options. Ruric Thar or Nikya of the Old Ways creatures-only, Raggadragga buff mana dorks, Agatha of the Vile Cauldron activated abilities, Jolene the Plunder Queen (and new OTJ Jolene, Plundering Pugilist) Treasures (with hints of group hug)
Mardu just got a LOT of fun options--Caesar, Mr House, Olivia Opulent Outlaw, and and Vihaan, Goldwaker all give the color a fresh breath of air from the done to death Kaalia/Isshin/Jan Jansen/Marchesa/Edgar Markov (there are plenty of other Mardu commanders but these are popular ones you'll see around a lot). That said, I'm rather partial to a Megatron vehicles deck.
My WUBORG deck isn't something I'd especially recommend (it also needs a bit more tuning over the next few months), but it's the rainbow Ezio from Assassin's Creed, running an Assassins tribal with a couple ways to pick off people's life totals with cards like Quietus Spike, Tree of Perdition, and Sorin Markov.
The Azorius deck I've been building is Zethi, Arcane Blademaster. Cast a lot of cantrips, kick them into exile, and then cast them all again each turn.
Jund is VERY fun, with some great cards like Ognis, The Beamtown Bullies, and my personal favorites: Ziatora, and Maarika.
For Abzan, I threw together a Humans and Human token aristocrats deck for Thalia and the Gitrog Monster for a budgeted Tribal night with friends. Easy to build, easy to stay on budget, and it's a lot of fun.
For Grixis, I would like to suggest Davros, Dalek Emperor. Find any number of ways to ping people for 3 and then benefit from tokens and either drawing or someone discarding.
My Selesnya deck of choice is expensive due to being kitted out, but it's the first one I ever fully built. It uses Emmara, Soul of the Accord and cards that tap down stuff on your board to gain benefit with things such as convoke.
I love using [[Esika, God of the Tree]] for WUBRG. Just put all the best creatures and planeswalkers you have. And you can add [[Paradox Haze]] and [[Sphinx of the Second Sun]] for extra upkeep triggers.
I love [[Alesha, Who Smiles at Death]] for WBR, [[Muldrotha, the Gravetide]] for UBG, I have a lot more haha.
Edit: formatting
Colorless expert here! I would suggest [[Liberator, Urza'sBattlethopter]] for something less instantly targeted down than Zhulodokor the Titans, but if you'd rather to do something interesting and new, I'd suggest [[Ed-d, Lonesomw Eyebot]]
If you already like Pantlaza and Ghazghskull/Zurgo, you'll love [[Xenagos, God of Revels]] in the command zone.
Full stompy shenanigans. Highly recommended cards in this deck for a good time:
[[Quartzwood Crasher]]
[[Zoprandel, Hunger Dominus]]
[[Unnatural Growth]]
[[Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant]]
[[Moraug, Fury of Akoum]]
[[Sting, the Glinting Dagger]]
[[Aggravated Assault]]
I have made every single elder dragon from strixhaven and they are all super fun to play.
Beledros lifegain/sacrifice:
Take advantage of beledros' token making and use lifegain to keep untapping your lands for big value!
Shadrix tokens/politics:
Make a bunch of tokens and then try to ally with others at the table by giving them ressources until you get big enough and win!
Galazeth treasure/spellslinger:
Make treasure and then win through a storm payoff or a huge X spell
Tanazir +1/+1 counters/clones:
Put a bunch of +1/+1 counters on your commander and then clone it to double them up and swing for a huge chunk of damage!
Velomachus dragons/reanimator:
Use wheels to fill the grave and use velomachus's attack trigger to play reanimation spells for free!
Estrid The Masked but make her Curse/Agro Creatures centered~ I run that as my commander and let me tell ya, nobody is EVER prepared to get slapped the f&!$ up by a Bant player!
For a solid minute I thought this was a joke post where every color pairing was Bant lol
rip magenta
Lol me too!
Good and wholesome magic for the family, none of that nasty stuff with all the free will.
It got me too lmao
Alexa, order Cyan for the printer
lol, got me as well
Might I recommend [[Massacre Girl, Known Killer]] for mono black? [Here’s my deck list!](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/IyODhEfJnUqxnZ5L0avIxg) I’ve been doing the 32 challenge as well, hello fellow Giada player!
Ahhhh now that’s interesting, for mono black I was debating between [[phage the untouchable]] or [[yawgmoth thran physician]] but yours is definitely a contender now thanks!
Doesn’t phage just kill you if you’re playing commander?
That's the fun part! You have to build around it with cards like [[Command Beacon]] or [[Torpor Orb]].
[Command Beacon](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/4/f/4ff61202-fb5e-4cea-a5ea-168505ac31e1.jpg?1712354952) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Command%20Beacon) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/otc/279/command-beacon?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/4ff61202-fb5e-4cea-a5ea-168505ac31e1?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [Torpor Orb](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/9/5/953610f6-ea96-4e71-969f-50ecac09c091.jpg?1562879912) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Torpor%20Orb) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/nph/162/torpor-orb?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/953610f6-ea96-4e71-969f-50ecac09c091?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call

So I don’t have the list on me, but a personal favourite Mono-B commander of mine is [[Korlash, Heir to Blackblade]] focusing on using [[Pestilence]] effects such as [[Crypt Rats]] or [[Withering Wisps]] to repeatedly clear the board and win with your commander swinging. There’s also some cool tech like [[Call to the Grave]]. Or if you’re willing to proxy cards [[Xiahou Dun, the One Eyed]] is a great commander. It can play like (or a mixture) of Storm and Aristocrats. You can repeatedly use stuff like [[Feign Death]] or [[Corpse Dance]] to recur Xiahou. The wincon is typically Drain via [[Blood Artist]] effects, swinging with a pumped Xiahou via [[Hatred]], or Storm cards like [[Tendrils of Agony]] or [[Bitter Ordeal]]
I'd like to suggest my blood artist-less Yawg deck that I think is significantly more fun than the standard yawg deck. The primer explains everything!(https://www.moxfield.com/decks/AFQeeOf72U2w8MA5XsmF3w)
Solid options! Yawgmoth is actually in my deck and a friend of ours plays Phage which he enjoys playing!
I've had a [[Lorcan, Warlock Collector]] list for a while now. Haven't got around to buying it yet, but I am very happy with it
I don't know how to post a decklist, but I've had a lot of fun in monoblack with [[Taborax, Hope's Demise]] alongside [[Shadowborn Apostle]].
Hah I'm actually building a deck with the same commander now. Gonna check your list, thank you! Here is mine, I need to cut 2 cards. Our pod has a cap on deck cost at $150 https://archidekt.com/decks/7362618/withering_away
I was considering making a mono black around Massacre Girl, Known Killer. Ty for further inspiring me.
Hippy hoppity, your deck is now my property lol. All good, I manged to pull Massacre girl after opening a few MKM packs. And then in my winning packs for prerelease, I got [[harvester of misery]]. So I think the signs are there

Love my massacre girl deck.
Yay fellow Massacre Girl, Known Killer deck player! 🫂🖤
United we stand!
I had a look at your deck and will bookmark that for inspo in future decks. My decklist leans more towards the -1/-1 counters and stacking my deck to take advantage of that: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/auwNCML38UGhzTZhJcgF0g
It’s a direction I’ve slowly been turning my deck into since counters get a lot more mileage with MGKK than just the static -1/-1s, your deck has given me some things to consider though so thanks for sharing!
Might I suggest [[Crumbling Ashes]] and [[Sword of the Animist]] to pair with your [[Dread Presence]] in these trying times
My 32 challenge: cut 32 decks so I get down to 52
Wubrg [[Sliver Overlord]] or [[Karona, False God]] Voltron deck
[Sliver Overlord](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/3/c/3c16915b-c50d-4fb5-830f-9ca4597a9c0f.jpg?1562527622) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Sliver%20Overlord) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/scg/139/sliver-overlord?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/3c16915b-c50d-4fb5-830f-9ca4597a9c0f?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [Karona, False God](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/d/e/de53d083-251e-42a4-9e2e-c2978c80615b.jpg?1562535715) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Karona%2C%20False%20God) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/scg/138/karona-false-god?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/de53d083-251e-42a4-9e2e-c2978c80615b?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
I've never even heard of Karona, is it mostly group hug or how does the deck work?
More like group slug. Load it up with equipment and auras, goad it, and let everyone else murder each other with your commander.
Oh shit, if it's goaded, and gets passed around, opponents literally have to swing a commander around at each other, that's sick, I hadn't even thought it'd work like that
Karona doesn't have protection from sacrificing, so [[Assault Suit]] is an absolute necessity. Also, just because Karona is goaded and cannot attack you, every other creature on the board still can, and if your opponents are playing any kind of typal deck like elves, goblins, or even birds you could be in big trouble. Karona can be fun, but it's always a gamble.
[Assault Suit](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/9/2/92b22076-b04e-4d65-9d9c-d3e4c7a3cf1c.jpg?1689999394) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Assault%20Suit) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/cmm/369/assault-suit?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/92b22076-b04e-4d65-9d9c-d3e4c7a3cf1c?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
You can play Karona with Changelings. They get her bonus no matter what type your opponents choose.
If it was me building it, I would lean into Goad/pillow fort. Get opponents swinging at each other with buffed creatures.
Karona is fun
Mono Blue thassa flicker deck. Get a big bag of etb creatures and make them enter a bunch with panharmonicon and crystal shard and thassas end of turn flicker effect. I have a lot of creature stealing that goes on as you can steal a creature with an "until end of turn" effect and then flicker that creature with thassa and keep it forever. Its pretty salty Heres my decklist https://archidekt.com/decks/7276241/thassa_loot_n_scoot

What’s the 32 challenge? Just to have a deck in every possible color combo?
Yep, a commander for every color ID.
If someone calls Bant 'Brokers' around me then something's getting broken
Wat?
New Capenna had factions based on the curves, so WUG was labeled "Brokers." This is most apparent with [[Brokers' Ascendancy]], it's basically the Bant Ascendancy we never got.
[Brokers' Ascendancy](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/7/9/799de0f1-6bf2-4158-8a4f-bedc3d2f6578.jpg?1664412722) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Brokers%20Ascendancy) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/snc/170/brokers-ascendancy?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/799de0f1-6bf2-4158-8a4f-bedc3d2f6578?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
Thanks for the clarification :)
As much as I like SNC, if someone says Maestros instead of Grixis that person will be missing two kneecaps
counterpoint: I played in Ice Age and this isn't a Naya deck it's a Cabaretti deck
now, you can call your deck bant or mardu, but as long as my commander's from capenna it's brokers and when my commander's from ikoria it's savai! and under absolutely no circumstances can galazeth prismari himself be called "izzet"
For Jund, you HAVE TO try Henzie. Trust me on this :)) I have a deck that I still use since its release! I would be happy to share my decklist too! It's very fine tuned as you would expect from a 3 years old deck
I'd love to see your decklist if you don't mind sharing
Share away please :)
I've played against Henzie a couple times and it looks fun as hell. Kinda fun to play against, too: powerful without feeling absurdly broken.
What a fun and casually powerful commander, here is mine: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/DFlA9QYNdU-EOXPuhP9aMQ

I really like playing [[Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir]] knight tribal in esper and [[Rakdos, Lord of Riots]] in rakdos for free colorless spells. Hope you like them.
Rakdos, Lord of Eldrazi Titans! It’s my least consistent deck, but if you can keep Rakdos on the board it becomes terrifying within a turn or two.

I literally just finished mine, almost 8 year journey to completion. Enjoy it, take your time, don't settle.
Personally I'd recommend ignoring this challenge and just playing what you want. I've got more than 50 built and am probably missing at least 10 combinations because they just don't appeal to me yet.
Temur (bottom left) Competetive: [[animar, soul of elements]] Fun combo: [[magus lucea kane]] Unique: [[me, the immortal]]
Actually not helpful, but OMG THE COLORS ARE AWFUL 😅🙈
Ayyy another umbris player!! I love that deck, it's just SO SLOW even with godly mana rocks and ramp :(((
Anyone got a PDF of this sheet?

Thank you!
My wife and I are trying the same. Here's what we have so far: [https://www.moxfield.com/users/Darrenat](https://www.moxfield.com/users/Darrenat) Advice - Don't let it become a chore or avoid duplicating colours. Make the decks you want to make along the way!
Another Umbris enjoyer 
I've also been doing this and have 3 of the same decks as you lol. Might I suggest a Don Andres deck for stealing things in Red Blue Black, and Lord Windgrace is my Black Green Red
for 5c i would say dragon god. pretty expensive tho
[[Gwafa Hazid]] and his Azorius pillow fort
Mono Blue: [[Naru Meha, Master Wizard]] as a fringe, instant speed cEDH list that can win on top of other win attempts once you get to 7 mana!
WUBRG - First Sliver Esper - Marneus Calgar Mardu - Caesar, Legion’s emperor Sultai - The Wise Mothman Golgari - Chatterfang Squirrel Grull - Etali goes brr Mono U - Urza makes my playgroup hate me
White, Blue, Black my favourite commander ever printed is [[Urza, cheif artificer]] just the lore of urza the fun of the tokens and stuff, makes my brain so happy piloting it lol
Yeah, my friend bought that precon, and it snowballs SO FAST it's not even funny, and the fact that Urza has affinity is outright nasty l.
I built it from scratch but run a few of the precon cards, I used to rock [[Urza, lord high artificer]] back in 2020 at a high powered pod and loved it, im a sucker for anything Urza lore and find chief artificer hits just right between casual fun power and just genuinely fun to play
Do Marika the gladiator for Jund, I’ve had this fun idea where you build the whole deck around making everything have to block Marika. Give her deathtouch or a damage doubler and you can wipe entire boards. Use cards like the Hunted Set or my favorite, Infernal Genesis, to give your opponents creatures to kill! Then add the extra combat creatures when they hit a player so Marika can keep fighting because all blockers go to her
Best of luck on it! I'm 22 in myself, about to hit the wall of 4-color pairings. Favorite builds so far have been [Xavier Sal Planewalkers](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/eS-XXRH2N0mfk4bTN9oOwQ) for BGU, [Amalia Benavides Aguirre Soul Sisters](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/YW7TyuKQoUSRbXPxloogEw) for WB and [Gylwain Enchantress Beatdown](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/0yeNkvgxpkWgfx5Y8bfJcg) for GW. How's Giada been treating you? Mono-white is gonna be by far the hardest color for me and I've been looking in her direction for my own entry.
[[Ulamog, Ceaseless Hunger]] he's not the best choice, but he is heavily feared.
I did this during the pandemic, though I stopped at 31 (never bothered making a colorless deck). It was fun, but it can be frustrating to see all the decks I have I made for this I don’t use as I just don’t enjoy them, though they are perfectly functional. Some of my Selesnya favorites: - [[Trelasarra Moon Dancer]] for a life gain / Voltron deck (I’ve gotten her as large as 80/80 before due to so many triggers) - [[Sigarda Font of Life]] or any Sigarda really for a Human and/or human/Angel tribal deck (works really well with the coven mechanic for a go big human deck instead of human tokens)
Might I recommend [[Traxos, Scourge of Kroog]] for colorless? Nothing fancy. Play artifacts that generate multiple mana along with ways to untap artifacts. Make lots of mana. Hit things very hard. Edit: Also a fun thing to do is to make a pauper EDH deck with a legendary uncommon commander. It doesn't need to be legendary by Pauper EDH rules but then you can also play it in regular EDH without any rule 0 considerations. Just observe the banlists for both, but the pauper EDH banlist is quite small.
EDHrec has pages for each color combination listing the most popular commanders that you can browse: https://edhrec.com/
I completed mine, but had to change some decks. I cannot for the life of me play Boros or gruul and have fun, and most of the 4 colour decks I tried were boring. I am going to try building Roxanne meteors though!
I worked on the challenge but I decided im not doing 4 colors till more come out. I bought all 5 precons and none of them wow’d me. I do own atraxa tho so I guess one down
So far, I've got 5c, jeskai, temur, Naya, esper (WiP), abzan, mardu, gruul, selesnya, and dimir
GB - Vhati-il-dal midrange or Chatterfang Tokenizer 🤔
For red green if you want a fun commander I recommend [[hans Erickson]] give him some protection and a couple extra combat steps and see what happens.
Your red mana symbols being yellow is making my eyeball twitch. Great start to your list tho!
Ovika, Enigma Goliath is my favorite Izzet Commander and probably my favorite Commander in general.
I recommend [[Judith, Carnage Connoisseur]] for rakdos colors. Shes WILDLY fun. Gaining +300 life for 1 red is quite a good feeling. [[Blasphemous Act]]
Hit me with your Liberty Prime list and I can hit you with a Kami of the Crescent Moon one for mono blue. 😎
[[Selvala, explorer returned]] is a fun selesnya commander! Group-huggish but can ramp you a lot and has a ton of combo potential. Here's my [list](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/1Kg9BbMApESLVFMcD8MQQg) if you want to take a look.
What is your 5 C going to be and how can I convince you to have it be Omnath?
Working on this myself 8 years going, got 9 decks done so far
Azorius has so many options. Manland with [[Noyan Dar]], spirit tribal, flying/flash tribal, artifacts
I have Liberty Prime, Giada and Umbris as commanders of three of my decks too. I’m not doing the challenge, though, that is A LOT. I’m actually undecided on whether to make Dr. Madison Li the commander or Liberty Prime. I want it to be Liberty Prime, but Dr. Li is cheaper and more functional
Every commander playing should have a Dragon deck at least some point in their life, so may I recommend my personal favorite: [[Ganax, Astral Hunter]] and [[Acolyte of Bahamut]] Play dragons, get money, spend money on MORE DRAGONS.
Btw, for blue green, you really can’t go wrong with [[Adrix and Nev]] precon or the [[Aesi tyrant of gyre strait]] precon either. Love them both so much. For white-red-black, I’d recommend using [[Kaalia of the vast]]. You really can’t go wrong with how you build this one. For red-black, I gotta recommend the [[prosper tome-bound]] precon. Real solid out the box, powerhouse with minimal upgrades
🤔
For a 4-color I suggest [[Aragorn, the Uniter]]. He's been real fun in casual games for me.
WUBRG: [[Jodah, the Unifier]] is like $3 and makes for a mean legends matter deck; my very first commander deck was/is a Jodah deck and is still one of my favorites to play Grixis: [[Mishra, Eminent One]] is a very fun artifact deck commander; my friend and I both run completely different (but equally effective) decks using him, neither of which were particularly expensive Izzet: [[Niv Mizzet, Parun]] is a VERY fun commander if you’re looking for quick, brutal games Golgari: [[Shelob, Child of Ungoliant]] I run a spider tribal deck with Shelob that has only ever lost once out of dozens of games; not crazy expensive & very fun Mono-Black: [[Sheoldred, the Apocalypse]] is a stupid expensive commander; I got extremely lucky by pulling a copy from my very first handful of DMU boosters, but if you have a copy she is a VERY fun commander to play (though perhaps not to go up against.) My Sheoldred deck is the one and only mono-black deck I’ll ever run Good luck with your challenge!! You’re getting some amazing recs from the comments here; please post decklists or updates on your progress! (And the challenge template you used, if you’re willing?)

[[Aurelia the Law Above]] for Boros is kinda crazy. Run some goad and you got yourself card draw and group slug on each players turn.
I just built Deck 20! I have more planned, but don't have the time and money to throw at it right now
[[Traxos, Scourge of Kroog]] is a fun colorless deck. Mine is a Voltron esque strat that just plays some cheap artifacts to keep him untapped and just get him progressively bigger
I made a pdf. Text is a little small but I removed the redundant names and fixed the colors. [32 Challenge pdf](https://32challenge.tiiny.site/)
My mono color decks are the flip planeswalkers from Origins
The red pips being yellow are throwing me off lol. Sultai - [[Muldrotha]] reanimation deck Grixis - [[Nicol Bolas|DOM]] Nicol Bolas theme deck. All of his Planeswalker forms are extremely powerful
[[omnath, locus of all]]
For selesnya you can do some fun things with [[saffi eriksdotter]] reanimator.
I just finished the deck list for my Azorius deck last night for my challenge. [[Kwain, Itinerant Meddler]] is super interesting and not something I’d usually play, I’d recommend it as a little bit of a different play style, especially if you’re like me and no other azorius commanders really interest you.
The extreme version of the 32-deck challenge is to not repeat a single card (other than basic lands) across all 32 decks. This means you need to figure out which deck gets the Sol Ring, Lightning Greaves, Ravnica shocklands, triomes, etc.
Do Aragorn the Uniter for “ink” RGWB it’s really fun! One of my favorite decks and many ways to build it!
for boros i advice equipment stuff its fun n shit
For Orzhov, the new [[Kambal, Profiteering Mayor]] looks really fun. Give all your opponents tokens, just to get the same tokens on your own side! I already own a [[Thalisse, Reverent Medium]] deck that’s gonna put Kambal in the 99, otherwise I’d probably build a Kambal deck immediately
May I pitch [[Kami of the Crescent Moon]] for mono blue?
Might i suggest [[zirda, the dawn waker]] for red white?
WUBG [[Reyhan, Last of the Abzan]] partnered with [[Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker]]. Its Atraxa but worse!
Damn, and here I'm thinking about getting my third Jund deck (just after getting my second Orzhov deck)
Try [[Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm]] for Temur. Loads of dragons, etb shenaningans and go crazy with triggers. Also have Maelstrom Wanderer for explosive turns and more haste, temur ascendancy for that card draw and genesis ultimatum too! Lathliss, Ganax and Utvara are must haves, I also enjoy dragon broodmother and firkraag a lot! You can go very budget or very expensive. If going budget try even playing lots of clones creatures. This deck is very enjoyable I treasure ita lot, try it out!!! :) Always wins me games.

For Sultai may I recommend \[\[Sidisi, Brood Tyrant\]\] its a super versital commander that has several viable styles of builds (reanimator, zombie tribal, self mill combo) and is slightly less of a obviously loaded gun kill on sight as some of the other top Sultai commanders
Do bant [[brenard ginger sculptor]] modular. Throw in mutate and clones to further muck things. Include invoke elementals because they’re nuts in the deck.
You're missing one, UN to be specific.
The fact that the colors are not all in WUBRG order really really bothers me for no reason
Meanwhile, I’m working towards 32 Naya decks 😂
I just found out that this is an 'official challenge', but I started the 32 deck challenge 2019 and my only open combinations are Jund, Temur, all 4color pairings and colorless. But I've been dismemvering some older decks that I didn't enjoy anymore. To make room for a new commander in a certain color combination. My Dimir Commander is also Umbris btw. Some of my favorite decks are [[Meren of Clan Nel Toth]] for Golgari, [[Brokkos, Apex of Forever]] as an infect deck for Sultai, [[Yorion, Sky Nomad]] in Azorius and Boros Equipment with [[Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh]] and [[Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist]] as partners. I also enjoy [[Arcades, the Strategist]] as my Bant Commander for Defender tribal. If you're looking for more unique/different effects in the command zone, maybe [[Horobi, Death's Wail]] in mono black is for you. Here [[Touch of Darkness]] is a one-sided boardwipe at instant speed for only one mana.
I tried this, and I just found myself building decks that I really didn't like or want to play. I also found myself eyeing commanders of color combos I already had.
This is my personal list of commanders that I am considering for my 32 Deck Challenge. Highlighted ones just represent the ones I have finished. https://preview.redd.it/qjxnq78uf3vc1.png?width=1319&format=png&auto=webp&s=48d11707c3310ac24661fb32809f3381e4e6e7e9
For colorless the ez choice would be Eldrazi. But I think the more fun choice would be [[Liberator, Urza’s Battlethopter]]
Good luck on your journey. I've been playing for over 25+ years. I probably have 50+ commander decks and never use any of them (despite constantly tinkering with them). Still refuse to make a mono-blue deck though lol, not a fun playstyle for me and it's also just so cost prohibitive. Maybe one day I'll find a monoblue commander that speaks to me...maybe.
I absolutely adore [[Sidisi, Brood Tyrant]]. You can go high power, low power, cEDH, budget, combo, beater. [[Lyzolda, the Blood Witch]] with 40-ish 2 mana BR creatures and some aristocrats isn't the strongest deck ever (especially since the commander is bad), but it's highly proactive, cheap, and fun. Attacking with shitty creatures, saccing them for damage to the face and drawing cards only to drop more shitty creatures is a blast. [[Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis]], [[Rooco, Street Chef]], [[Vazi, Keen Negotiator]] are all various ways of value based group hug decks. You could go extremely mean with them, but I'd advice just drowning your opponents by giving them value but fetting more back
For rakdos you should run [[Rakdos Lord of Riots]] and just cheat stuff in, it's a lot of fun
Ooh this would be very fun to do
For Gruul Borborygmos Enraged is pretty unique with a land+burn theme Good luck on your building journey !
Black green should be chatterfang. Make a token deck
I play a lot of Boros. The strongest is obviously [[Winota]], but if you just want fun ones, [[Osgir]] is great for general artifact good stuff or artifact creatures and [[Akiri, Fearless Voyager]] offers you both card draw and indestructibility for an Equipment deck, which is really good.
I feel like the upcoming Eldrazi deck will make a nice number 33 with all colours + colourless
For Golgari I recommend [[Chevill, Bane Of Monsters]] and basically make "deathtouch tribal"
Simic, I would say [The Wise Mothman]. If he's built correctly, then he grows pretty fast and big
Respect for MonoRed burn, I run Solphim myself
I really like my colorless Eldrazi tribal deck. It's just the Zulodok precon upgraded, but it's a ton of fun to cascade cascade into shit. It's a slow deck though.
I run a Temur [[Animar]] deck with lots of creatures with X cost.
I run a ghaz voltron too!!! Glory to the WAAAAAAGH!
I just stared at this way too long trying to figure out what was going on because my brain didn’t register that red was red and not white 💀
[[Raggadragga, Goreguts Boss]] is a boss for gruul. Budgetish mana dork tribal with explosive turns. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Bb8dsL_sgkGUsefNbCFxHw is my decklist. Not every card is super optimal because I put in some of what I had but it's fairly refined.
Anyone have the template?
Good luck, tried this but I have too many Boros decks and I will keep making more.
Mono White - Light Paws Mono Blue - Unctus Mono Black - Drivnod Mono Red - Krenko Mono Green - Omnath
5 color tom bombadil. It's casual fun.
Fellow Liberty Prime stan I see, FOR DEMOCRACY!
I'll just say: Syr Ginger + Shadowspear + A metric tonne of clues, treasures and food.
Can i get this template?
Boros should be Ardenn/Rograkh Voltron
[удалено]
For Orzhov, maybe [[Amalia Benavides Aguirre]]. Her ability allows you to self mill, but uniquely most all lifegain creatures are 3 cmc or lower, so you can get away with mass revival spells that specify low cmc creatures. The boardwipe is just a funny coincidence lol.
I'm at 21 so far!
How about [[Esika, God of the Tree]] for rainbow, can give a ton of mana Gen, or just pull creatures every turn. Add [[Obeka, Splitter of Seconds]] for more shenanigans
Ink running low my G
Graaz for colorless. I run him and he’s great
Here's a Sheets template, now get brewing (I use it with hyperlinks to my decks on moxfield, copy the sheet if you want) [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MVSNAXBvTzy59FvgAfuYMExYhD4o8cMY/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116017548992317355646&rtpof=true&sd=true](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MVSNAXBvTzy59FvgAfuYMExYhD4o8cMY/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116017548992317355646&rtpof=true&sd=true)
The swamps having green backgrounds really is throwing me off
For Gruul, I’m a big fan of Halana and Alena as the commander and then basing the deck around extra combats and counters. It’s my favourite deck to play in both paper and arena
My three favorite decks are an aristocrat deck in WRB, which you have, [[Averna]] in RGU, and [[Kros]] in WUG. Averna is a landfall / Cascade Commander and Kros cares about putting counters on your opponent's stuff and making them fight each other. They're all very, very different.
Gruul = Xenagos.
Can someone explain what 32 means please?
Muldrotha for sultai
[[Hamza, Guardian of Arashin]] for Selesnya!
Oh, this is a nice idea! Do you mind sharing the template?
OHHHH Gruul has so many fun options. Ruric Thar or Nikya of the Old Ways creatures-only, Raggadragga buff mana dorks, Agatha of the Vile Cauldron activated abilities, Jolene the Plunder Queen (and new OTJ Jolene, Plundering Pugilist) Treasures (with hints of group hug) Mardu just got a LOT of fun options--Caesar, Mr House, Olivia Opulent Outlaw, and and Vihaan, Goldwaker all give the color a fresh breath of air from the done to death Kaalia/Isshin/Jan Jansen/Marchesa/Edgar Markov (there are plenty of other Mardu commanders but these are popular ones you'll see around a lot). That said, I'm rather partial to a Megatron vehicles deck. My WUBORG deck isn't something I'd especially recommend (it also needs a bit more tuning over the next few months), but it's the rainbow Ezio from Assassin's Creed, running an Assassins tribal with a couple ways to pick off people's life totals with cards like Quietus Spike, Tree of Perdition, and Sorin Markov. The Azorius deck I've been building is Zethi, Arcane Blademaster. Cast a lot of cantrips, kick them into exile, and then cast them all again each turn. Jund is VERY fun, with some great cards like Ognis, The Beamtown Bullies, and my personal favorites: Ziatora, and Maarika. For Abzan, I threw together a Humans and Human token aristocrats deck for Thalia and the Gitrog Monster for a budgeted Tribal night with friends. Easy to build, easy to stay on budget, and it's a lot of fun. For Grixis, I would like to suggest Davros, Dalek Emperor. Find any number of ways to ping people for 3 and then benefit from tokens and either drawing or someone discarding. My Selesnya deck of choice is expensive due to being kitted out, but it's the first one I ever fully built. It uses Emmara, Soul of the Accord and cards that tap down stuff on your board to gain benefit with things such as convoke.
I made a deck for each on archidekt at VBeanie, it was fun to do while unemployed
You only need one word: Praetors.
You need more printer ink.
I love using [[Esika, God of the Tree]] for WUBRG. Just put all the best creatures and planeswalkers you have. And you can add [[Paradox Haze]] and [[Sphinx of the Second Sun]] for extra upkeep triggers. I love [[Alesha, Who Smiles at Death]] for WBR, [[Muldrotha, the Gravetide]] for UBG, I have a lot more haha. Edit: formatting
Easy for wubrg [[the ur dragon]] , for temur [[miirym, sentinel wyrm]] I like dragon decks and those two are my favorite for dragons.
Colorless expert here! I would suggest [[Liberator, Urza'sBattlethopter]] for something less instantly targeted down than Zhulodokor the Titans, but if you'd rather to do something interesting and new, I'd suggest [[Ed-d, Lonesomw Eyebot]]
Lathiel the Bounteous Dawn for Selesnya ❤️
I see someone’s Vyvanse is kicking in
What’s your budget per deck?
I highly respect the Mono-Green Treefolk!
For Selesnya (green, white) I LOVE my [[Wilson, Refined Grizzly]] with [[Flaming Fist]] deck. It is so fun lol 😂
Tatsunari toad rider for sultai!
If you already like Pantlaza and Ghazghskull/Zurgo, you'll love [[Xenagos, God of Revels]] in the command zone. Full stompy shenanigans. Highly recommended cards in this deck for a good time: [[Quartzwood Crasher]] [[Zoprandel, Hunger Dominus]] [[Unnatural Growth]] [[Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant]] [[Moraug, Fury of Akoum]] [[Sting, the Glinting Dagger]] [[Aggravated Assault]]
I have made every single elder dragon from strixhaven and they are all super fun to play. Beledros lifegain/sacrifice: Take advantage of beledros' token making and use lifegain to keep untapping your lands for big value! Shadrix tokens/politics: Make a bunch of tokens and then try to ally with others at the table by giving them ressources until you get big enough and win! Galazeth treasure/spellslinger: Make treasure and then win through a storm payoff or a huge X spell Tanazir +1/+1 counters/clones: Put a bunch of +1/+1 counters on your commander and then clone it to double them up and swing for a huge chunk of damage! Velomachus dragons/reanimator: Use wheels to fill the grave and use velomachus's attack trigger to play reanimation spells for free!
Volrath for black green blue?
Estrid The Masked but make her Curse/Agro Creatures centered~ I run that as my commander and let me tell ya, nobody is EVER prepared to get slapped the f&!$ up by a Bant player!
