Power level is something to keep in mind also. You want to keep the decks on a roughly even playing field if you’re going to want to play them against each other multiple times.
Don’t want every game to end up one sided.
That’s just not super fun. You can adjust and swap cards as you play together. It’s not an exact science

When people talk about adding Ramp or Lands to their deck, do mana rocks count as Ramp, or as Lands? Trying to follow the prof's formula for making a Commander deck
median herald
When people talk about adding Ramp or Lands to their deck, do mana rocks count a...
Oh, I think I can answer this. I'm a new player of magic. It depends on the deck. But technically yes, mana rocks are ramp. But, they are not as stable as actual lands and spells that search for or tutor for land. Cultivate, and Kodama's Reach, 3 visits, nature's lore are common staples in green. The reason it's not as stable is the commander format is the contract players have with each other, like commonly not destroying lands in most decks therefore harder to destroy while artifacts and creatures most are okay with removing easily excluding the problematic strategies including Stax, MLD.

Exactly, after 5 in the opening hand, it feels like dimensioning returns. I like running 35 lands, nothing lower. My Bright-Palm Soul Awakener deck has 37 lands. I keep hands that I can play/use only and never go below 5 cards in hand. I have a great ramp in Bright Palm. Mana dorks, those ramp spells I mentioned. In all, it depends on the deck. The only rocks I usually run are Solring, and Arcane Signet in every deck of mine. A couple more in Veyran (spell slinger in Izzet.) Izzet rocks mainly in that one. So it depends on the deck. But rocks are easily destroyed so land is the sure safe option especially when not in green. Green has the best ramp.
Ideally, 2 or 3 lands out of 7 are land, and something to play turn 2 or 3 like a Birds of Pardice or a ramp spell. Turn-one plays are rare and a delight.

How many lands should I have in my deck? I have 16 I think from the booster boxes. Ive got a couple extra that I can put in if need be.Also, would anyone be down to help me build a good deck?
proper fiber
First, what format are you trying to build a deck for. Or rather, what format are the people you want to play against playing? Do they play commander? Do youguys just play casual "kitchen table" magic? (Aka just classic 60 card decks with cards you own)
It's gonna be hard to give you precise recommendations for the latter, since we don't know what cards you actually have. For 60 card decks, try bumping up your land count to around 24 lands though.
if you want to play commander, then the best way to start is to actually buy one of the preconstructed decks. Pretty much all of the commander decks that came out in like the past year or 2 are pretty playable out of the box, with some small and easy upgrades you can do.
Building a commander deck using only cards from boosters is going to be rather difficult, as you are very limited in your selection. One of the appeals of commander is that you have access to magic's entire card pool, barring some banned cards.
If you're completely new, then starting with a preconstructed commander deck makes the most sense. It is the most popular casual format.
Building a deck from scratch when you're completely new is not an easy task, it probably makes more sense to get your grip on an already built deck, not only to be able to get some games in, but also to see how a deck is generally constructed.

Any previous spellslinger deck I’ve run has been more control and value focused, outlasting my opponents until I have a combo assembled to win or just create a bunch of copies of a finisher. In comparison this deck is trying to have a single explosive turn, make Vadrik stupidly swole, and assemble some combo with the value engine that the draw, cost reduction, and mana generation make. So I’m brewing a bit outside of my wheelhouse here.

Include oswald, whir of invention, fabricate and reshape to find time-sieve and just do a kind of controlly artifact build other than that with lots of mana rocks and a few counterspells + some removal, including boardwipes. damn is just like 2$ and I also like Path of Peril, out of time and languish for budget wipes.
oh, and a thing I did in budget tivit that I loved is playing artifact lands, so oswald can fetch sol ring, then next turn you use sol ring to play tivit, then sac sol ring for time sieve

Web ui, I’m lazy and haven’t payed for API access. Just provided it raw text json, and corrected it for about 20 minutes. It could not learn from repeated instructions. It got color identity, curve, Typalness, total amount of cards. Nothing would get it out of this land list lol. It saw command beacon got into the list and was satisfied with making its user happy. Gave up on like the 100th attempt.
I tried to make a [[Haakon, Stromgald Scourge]] deck and didn’t want to manually type in mono black knights lol.
I’ll look into API access, being able to properly handle input would be nice.

This or ash barrens
I've only played magic for a year. I don't like either but if I have to. I'd run evolving wilds. You can crack it immediately. The other land you need to wait a turn to fix your colors
In general I don't like tapped lands unless they can do something special like +1/+1 counters or tap for any color like Jetmir Garden
rich fable
Thanks
proper fiber
This or ash barrens
ash barrens probably
I mean it kinda depends on the deck I guess
If you're playing a budget Landfall deck that you probably wnat evolving wilds
Ash barrens as a whole is a lot more flexible, because you can also just play it as an untapped land when you need to
They both have their pros and cons I guess
Like say you need to fetch a blue source. Evolving Wilds can fetch an Island but you can't use it that turn. Ash Barrens can fetch one and lets you play it immediately, provided you haven't played a land yet
In terms of speed, if you decide to fetch a land with ash barrens, they're pretty equal, but the fact that you can also just play ash barrens untapped imo gives it a bit of an edge

So last match with the Pirate deck it went well, but it killed people slowly and it made the match unenjoyable for the table, mostly because the deck has no trample or good evasion outside menace and some fliers.
So I thought about adding some evasion spells like [[Taigam's Strike]] and tappers like [[Sleep]] and [[Icy Blast]] so the pirates can get through. Maybe buff a [[Port Razer]] with Taigam's and Angrath's Marauders along with the typal anthems.

It depends on what payoffs you're trying to run. Obeka can be built in many different ways. if your goal is to run mostly Myriad and Flameshadow Conjuring type stuff, then Master multiplied might be a better choice. If you want to do other end the turn shenanigans, then stick with Obeka

- Mycotyrant feels pretty medium without more consistent self-mill or discard.
- Prized statue probably isn't impactful enough if it's only there to be sac fodder without much other synergy.
- Stitch together probably isn't as good as you think it is in this list. There's very few 5+ drops to make it good in the late game and not enough ways to ensure threshold is online in the early game.
- Compy swarm has always seen like a mediocre card to me if you're not dino tribal. The tension of wanting to use them as sac fodder vs not using them because of exponential scaling (though the scaling is really slow and you're often times better using a scute swarm) feels wrong to me.
- Hate to recommend cards when you're trying to find cuts, but I think the list would benefit from untap shenanigans like Sting, Glinting Dagger or Thornbite Staff to allow you to "storm off" with your tokens.

Is preordain fine you think or is it underpowered
Preordain on its own isn't really awfully impressive, especially not as a draw source. It is generally played in decks with a storm or instant/sorcery theme
it's a cheap spell that digs decently deep and replaces itself. It's great when your deck is built around casting multiple small spells during your turn, but if you're just adding it to dig, then I'd rather run a card that draws more cards
rich fable
Makes sense
Yeah I’d probably rather play coastal and struggle then. The good thing about struggle is that it just give you three more cards each turn , cause the opponents drawing isn’t a may trigger
It’s a forced trigger which I think makes it busted

I don't think Galina really makes for a great cedh commander. There may be some wacky combo where you make everything legendary and gain control of everything, but compared to what broken stuff is already played in cedh, Galina doesn't really hold a candle to that.
"Is it fun to play against" is subjective. A general sentiment among most casual players is that having stuff stolen is "unfun" when it happens repeatedly. So having a commander which screams "I can steal your commanders whenever I want" will probably make you a high target from the get go, even if Galina is relatively slow.

I been debating using Magda as my mono red commander. Never could figure out the best balance of dwarfs and dragons. I was thinking maybe 7 or so of the best ones than the rest being dwarfs
opaque iris
Ive seen mono red vehicle decks with magda. Tap dwarves to crew the vehicles, and then those make treasures. Treasures could be sacced with madga to search for better vehicles. If you are stuck with good vehicles in your hand and dont want to tutor through magda, the treasures are there for you to ramp into those pricy vehicles in hand
another helpful tip for decks like this; you can over-crew vehicles. If a vehicle says "crew 2" that means that you need to tap creatures with power equal to OR GREATER than the crew value. This is put in place to avoid issues like only having 3 power creatures but a vehicle with crew 2 and not being able to crew it. This also means that you can tap as many dwarves as you like in order to crew vehicles. if you have 5 dwarves and 1 vehicle, you can tap all of them to crew that one vehicle even if it has a low crew cost.

Recommendations for that before I go to Edhrec? Like have any dragons in it or focus on artifacts? A few dragons like terror of the peaks probably be good
opaque iris
depends how crazy into the theme you want to go. with magda its possible to sprinkle in good dragons that just do well on their own, but adding vehicles to tutor for means that they can also tap dwarves to get more treasures from magda
dragons that make treasures or make use of treasures/dwarves would probably be my only suggestion
terror of the peaks, goldspan dragon, cavern hoard dragon
that kinda stuff
I would include [[maskwood nexus]] in it because that means that your vehicles also become dwarves when they get crewed and if you are tapping them to attack with them, thats even more treasure

same thing with dragons in that case as well
A cool detail I take advantage of is that both magda, and the treasures she sacs for her ability dont need to be untapped for them to work. you can tap magda to crew, and you can tap treasures using cards like [[clock of omens]] to tap treasures to get additional value out of them before you sacrifice them to magda

Not just screwing with the the draw step and putting THAT into exile, but giving the players additional cards to play each turn.

a bit hard to answer without further knowledge of the deck.
Imo, helm of the host is a bit of a trap card. It's a very cool and flashy effect but also relatively expensive to operate. If you have the mana to easily drop this and equip it the same turn, it might be alright depending on what you put it on.
I often see people drop Helm of the Host on the board but then not have enough mana to attach it, and then it or the creature they then move to attach it to get blown up before it gets to do anything

My first attempt at an aristocrat type build with [[Kels, Fight Fixer]] at the helm. Any and all feedback would be appreciated.
The main goal of the deck is to get as many [[blood artist]] type effects on the field as possible then loop creatures that can come back from the graveyard such as [[Nether Traitor]] and [[Reassembling Skeleton]] to get card draw and to draw into more value pieces such as [[Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia]] or [[Ophiomancer]] to consistently make tokens that I can sac.
To control the board I've added cards like [[Butcher of Malakir]] and [[Grave Pact]]

Weird question, but I'm new to the game, and haven't played so much yet.
Is it a good strategy to build around a commander combo that takes up 5-7 tutors and around 8 (redundant/overlapping) win condition/combo cards, and have the rest deck do something completely different in order to stay under the radar and not be a threat?
Example, I'm currently looking at [[Obeka, Splitter of Seconds]]. Let's say I found a win condition with [[Court of Embereth]], and all I need for it to work is one (or maybe two, depending on the situation) of 8 other cards that I've found (and of course, my commander has to be on the battlefield, without summoning sickness, and she needs to be able to attack someone).
If I build a deck with all the suggested cards from EDHREC and YouTube, I feel like I'm making my self a target right away. Those recommendations involve a lot of janky and potentially awesome (but not always reliable) things to happen during my upkeep. Venture into dungeons. Create a bunch of 5/5 dragons. Draw a bunch of cards. Drain life. Mill your opponents. But none of those cards really win you the game. And they make you a target.
What if the deck didn't have those suggested cards at all. During your game, nobody will spot any "at the beginning of your upkeep" cards on the table, they see no threat. You're playing another type of deck with other types of synergies that does not involve your commander being a target at all.
Then, hopefully, with enough tutors and card advantage, you get your win condition/combo with the janky "at the beginning of your upkeep". Until now, you have done no upkeep shenanigans.
The problem I guess, is that the rest of the 85% of the deck would just be about grinding out your opponents, lots of interaction, lots of counter spells, lots of removal, some casual friendly pseudo-stax, but no real way of winning. 85% of the deck would just be there to keep you alive until you get win condition.

And I understand that there are better ways to make a deck that just grinds until you find a better easier winning combo. But I like the jankyness of this one 😆 And it's not important which commander or combo we are talking about. I'm mostly asking about the strategy of building a deck where 80+% of the deck is not in direct synergy with your commander or win condition, it's just there to grind and give you cards and interact with others in a consistent and reliable way. 15%-20% of the deck is sort of sneaky, and deceptive, and will not reveal it self until you can make it work 🤔

Creature tokens you control have ": Add one mana of any color."
Whenever one or more creature cards leave your graveyard, create a 0/1 green Plant creature token, then put a +1/+1 counter on each Plant you control.

how do i build a deck Bottom to Top?

I first made this decklist 5 years ago with the premiere of the Guild Battle episode of Game Knights (Josh's first time playing Boros). The true commanders are Judith, Carnage Connoisseur and Firesong and Sunspeaker. I think I've been able to update/upgrade it so I can finally build it on paper. All suggestions are welcome. https://archidekt.com/decks/7293954/mardu_spellslingers

That's a fine way to build a deck. The higher up in power you go, the more of your deck is built around tons of removal surrounding a couple ultra efficient "engine" pieces. I will point out that the "surprise" of your strategy will only work so many times before people catch on and start just hating you out of the game even when you don't appear threatening (I'm all to familiar with this hahahah) because they aren't sure if you have the win yet or not and they'd rather not chance it.

how do i build a deck Bottom to Top?
Choose a handful of cards that you definitely want to play and then design the rest of the deck around making those cards as optimal as possible. Maybe that means finding ways to minimizing your average mana cost if you're building around [[dance with calamity]] or something like that.

So is it then possible to build a deck around the 5 main Theros gods?
Or atleast 2 of them but not as your commander
like putting in Nylea and Thassa into one deck
naive prawn
yeah, totally possible. You'd likely want ways to ensure you can find them
wraith onyx
So i'd need Tutors. So gotta include Black into the deck so i got access to as many as needed
naive prawn
Green has good creature tutors, white has good enchantment tutors, blue can draw cards like no one else. You're not forced into black
wraith onyx
Three aspects of colors i didnt know about
So, Thassa, Nylea and Heliod.
Which heliod do i use though? Cause theres the normal one and the Compleated version
and also the Revisited Theros Gods
naive prawn
I can't really answer that for you, that's all preference
wraith onyx
so as i have now decided, im gonna use Nylea Keen Eyed, Thassa god of te sea and Heliod sun crowned
Those seem like the best for the purposes of godly powers
naive prawn
For reference, the chance you draw one of three gods after drawing 20 cards is 51.10%, but that number jumps up to 76.68% with 3 tutors which feels very doable.
wraith onyx
so i should have the deck separated into Thirds right? like one third does Nylea stuff, the other does Thassa stuff and the other does Heliod stuff
and then sprinkle generically good cards to boost its overall power
naive prawn
That would make thematic sense, but you'd likely end up with a deck that doesn't do much when put all together. There would be a high chance you draw pieces from each strategy that wouldn't harmonize very well.
It's usually better to design around one central theme like "enchantments" and then sprinkle in a few cards for flavor for each of the three
wraith onyx
They are enchantment creatures thats true.. But what can i do with enchantments except Voltron?
naive prawn
wraith onyx
so i can make a pillowfort, control the board/accumulate resources, and ramp myself.
Hmm.
wraith onyx
Go nuts: https://edhrec.com/themes/enchantments
so now quick question: Which tutors do you reccomend for me to run?
And card draw in general
unique stirrup
so , buy the new izzet deck and my heart scream i need to win with [[Thousand-Year Storm]], and i feel like the new [[Stella Lee, Wild Card]] will be very Combo Heavy, it is my best option just play [[Veyran, Voice of Duality]] ?

Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, exile the top card of your library. Until the end of your next turn, you may play that card.
: Copy target instant or sorcery spell you control. You may choose new targets for the copy. Activate only if you've cast three or more spells this turn.

Upgrading a decklist that I haven't visited for a while, [[Karlach]] is at the helm with [[Hady Outlander]] as the background.
The main aim for this deck is to swing in at face and hopefully end up with infinite extra combats.
Any recommendations on what to cut from this or what to add?

How often has Dolmen Gate been useful? I imagine that large creatures + first strike means you rarely care about blockers anyways.

It's mostly there for a fail safe, because at my lgs quite a few people have commanders that have 6+ toughness or deathtouch/indestructable so it's there for those kind of situations

Could you solve the same problem with a more versatile card like [[renegade tactics]]? Niche cards meant for a specific situation can be powerful, but they're totally dead draws if your opponents aren't blocking anyways. Being able to cycle the niche card away can make the deck play smoother.
rare escarpBOT
naive prawn
And first strike probably handles the deathtouchers anyways?
tawdry hatch
Deathtouch with indestructable, I should'be been more clear, my bad
tawdry hatch
I don't really get the point of arcus acolyte as it's just slow and there are better cards with effects that have creatures etb with counters instead, Land tax really isn't worth it in green, the only way this is good is if you have that as the only piece of ramp in hand, other than that it's just a dead draw, instead of kodama's reach I would recommend natures lore or three visits (realistically you want to be running both) so that you can search for Lush portfolio or canopy vista, Wild defiance is just bad unless you're focussing on combat tricks but you're only running 11 by my count and for it to be worth it you want to be running at least 20 on the low end.
This is just on a first glance but other than that it seems solid.
Som things I'd recommend to add are [[Arwen, weaver of hope]], [[champion of lambholt]], [[fertilid]], [[mirri, weatherlight duelist]]

Creature — Elemental
Fertilid enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it.
, Remove a +1/+1 counter from Fertilid: Target player searches their library for a basic land card, puts it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffles.

Outlast (, : Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. Outlast only as a sorcery.)
Each creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it has trample.

Trample
As an additional cost to cast green permanent spells, you may pay 2 life. Those spells cost less to cast if you paid life this way. This effect reduces only the amount of green mana you pay.
Whenever you cast a green permanent spell, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
6/6
tawdry hatch
From my experience playing green +1/+1 counter decks these are in almost all of the ones I've built with some exceptions due to budget restrictions but other than that they make these kind of decks much more consistent.
Also [[Tributary Instructor]] makes the deck a lot more resilient to board wipes as it allows you to refill your hand so you don't run out of gas

As long as the creature count is 25% or higher it's pretty much an auto include I'd say
tawdry hatch
I could add green suns zenith as well
I'd say it would definitely be worth it, but if you're going to start adding tutors you may as well go the whole 9 yards and add [[worldly tutor]] [[natural order]] and [[eldritch evolution]] just to make it that much more consistent
tawdry hatch
Also [[sylvan tutor]]
