Hey. First commander deck. I've tried building.
Need some insight!
I have almost 90% of these cards already. But does this look any good/fun?
#Aegar, the freezing flame

So I met a new friend at work. And we are playing mostly 1 on 1 atm.
Primarily is just for fun. Neither of us are looking for quick games. So I don't want a super competitive deck
gusty galleon
Hey! Looks fun. I did want to mention though that [[warstorm surge]] and [[battle of frost and fire]] won't trigger your commander. I think they're still fine to be in there, but I wanted to mention in case you included them to trigger Aegar

Warstorm surge works
The giant or wizard deals damage

They were there mostly for flavor ha ha
gusty galleon
Warstorm surge works
Oh whoops, you're totally right, my brain went right to thinking the enchantment was doing it
tough cape
Battle of frost and fire is a nice semi-one sided wipe
At least if you have anyone running smaller creatures
zealous plinth
He's played commander for a while. I'm going in with no experience.
I just don't want to get steam rolled
tough cape
Do you know what his deck is?
zealous plinth
He did mention he likes running lots of small creatures.
And I know he's building a goblin deck
So I should have lots of card draw opportunities
The goblin deck is almost all creatures i guess
tough cape
nod
I think this is a fun place to start
There are some giants you don't have that are fun but aren't like, necessary
[[firbolg flutist]] for example
thorny frostBOT
zealous plinth

Oh that is cool
tough cape
Just ones that I don't think would adjust performance up or down much but could be fun.
And not worth buying until you know you like the deck
zealous plinth
Yeah. That would be fun
We're playing our first game tomorrow night.
I figured It would be best to get a few games in and adjust after we see what works and what doesn't
zealous plinth
I just keep finding cards that look fun and coming up with more ideas ha ha
Yeah.
That was a worry of mine.
Everything i read says to start with 40
Most of the artifacts generate mana. So I was hoping they'd make up for it
tough cape
I don't think you need to be that high. But I'd look at getting up to 38
zealous plinth
OK.
That seems reasonable and doable
tough cape
But it could be something like [[kazul's fury]]
thorny frostBOT
tough cape
[[kazuul's fury]]
thorny frostBOT
Instant
As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature.
Kazuul's Fury deals damage equal to the sacrificed creature's power to any target.

Since I'm playing 1 on 1 giant warchief could go
tough cape
nod
zealous plinth
Mana geyser too
zealous plinth
Flame of Anor? I might drop that as it's lotr.
tough cape
Flame of anor is great, I'd drop the wizard cost reduced counter spell first maybe
You can cut if you don't have the flames yet or just feel weird having the mixed pool
zealous plinth
I don't have it yet, and it feels weird with it being a lotr card.
Yeah. The counter could go
I'll keep flame and drop the counter.
That gets me up to 38 lands
I'll figure out the cards i need to get.
Maybe get some proxies made for now and see how it plays
zealous plinth

Thanks for your help!
tough cape
Oh, one thing you probably know but may not. You don't have to be the person doing excess damage
You just have to have dealt damage with the right type of card
So [[prodigal sorcerer]] pinging for 1 if someone else hits something with excess works.
thorny frostBOT
Creature — Human Wizard
: This creature deals 1 damage to any target.

1/1
tough cape
Less likely to come up in 1v1 but still
zealous plinth

Oh yeah.
I was reading aegars card the other day arms just realized I can trigger it on any turn doing that sort of stuff
zealous plinth
Less likely to come up in 1v1 but still
Also in found a card for helping to do excess damage.

Land
: Add one mana of any color.
Whenever you tap this land for mana, target opponent creates a 1/1 colorless Spirit creature token.
