Looking to upgrade my MH3 Creative Energy Precon! Any suggestions would be a huge help!
appreciate youuu
As requested, here's a link to my Satya deck:
https://archidekt.com/decks/8249447/combat_combo
I built it as a aggro deck with a primary wincon of infinite combat steps. I think the main takeaway from my build would be how I handle the energy package. I definitely do have an energy subtheme to the deck, but every individual energy card is good on its own. They do become stronger when used together, but I don't play anything that relies on other energy cards to function.
I will let you know, though, that I never built this deck in paper. I played it online a fair bit, but ended up retiring it eventually. So I haven't worked out all the kinks nor have I tried updating it at all since MH3.

oh gotcha! see i have 2 combo decks already and my pod HATES them
I personally like to think that infinite combat is much more fair than a normal combo strategy, since it can ususally be shut down just by having blockers, but if you want to build the deck without that its very easy to do so
If your starting point is the precon, the first thing I would recommend doing is cut all of the vehicles. I do not know why they were included with the deck, because they are very much a nonbo with your commander

i know my first grab is [[Guide of Souls]]
i could get smothering tithe and rhystic study 😂😂😂
I was gonna suggest checking out the Fallout precon too, looks like you did already
Tbh smashing those two precons + the red and blue cards from the DFT precon together gets you a really good energy deck
See, that's the exact opposite of what I would recommend doing. Satya does not work well with artifacts, and really wants energy to be a subtheme rather than part of the forefront strategy.
If you're going to "smash the two precons" then I think Madison Li makes more sense as the commander
honestly i just grabbed them cause they are cheap and produce energy, next is mana rocks and grabbing guide of souls/mystic remora
I just mean take what works for your idea from each of them.
Not necessarily just “whatever combination you want”, but, like, look at the three lists and pick out what works
and honestly if the cards dont work it was only 10 bucks to get them and I can take em out and test different ones
Yeah. The main thing being that 99% of your good energy cards for commander are going to come from those three precons + MH3
In my version of the deck, I run exactly 2 cards from the fallout precon, Shaun and Electrosiphon. I looked through the whole thing, and came to the conclusion that they are just extremely different strategies, despite being the same colors and using energy. One if hyper focused on energy and artifacts while the other is more about creature copy tokens with a small energy subtheme
Shaun is so busted generally
oh okay! any other cards youd recommend? I'll be getting more money to upgrade within the next few weeks
I ran him in a Kefka deck and it was such a nasty combination
oh glad i grabbed him then 😂
Generally, you're just looking for anything that has a strong enters ability. Especially ones where the copy also triggers the original. Stuff like [[Terror of the Peaks]] and [[Coercive Recruiter]]
Creature — Orc Pirate
Whenever this creature or another Pirate you control enters, gain control of target creature until end of turn. Untap that creature. Until end of turn, it gains haste and becomes a Pirate in addition to its other types.
"Choose, vampire: our hat on your head, or no hat, no head."
4/3
Anthems are also very good, since copying them makes everything stronger. The precon comes with Angel of Invention, but [[Voltstorm Angel]] is another good example
remember, these are just examples of a whole category of cards. Use scryfall to find more and tailor it to what you want the deck to do. Another example is ETB-Removal like [[Witch Enchanter]]
Creature — Human Warlock
When this creature enters, destroy target artifact or enchantment an opponent controls.
Shilgengar's famine once starved Stensia into embracing vampirism. The Dawnhart Coven would not let the same happen to Kessig.
2/2
Witch-Blessed Meadow
Land
As this land enters, you may pay 3 life. If you don't, it enters tapped.

yep, but there are similar cards that aren't MDFCs but cost less.
ooooh
got them in the cart, 40 bucks so far and got 60 more to spend
If you’re on a budget, you don’t need Terror of the Peaks. It’s good, but it’s power to cost ratio isn’t worth it
well i got around 110 to spend in total for upgrades
Like I said, I'm mostly just pointing out the categories of cards that you should be looking into, rather than giving you specific ones. You should go onto scryfall and use the text from these cards to find more so that you can tailor your deck for your playstyle and add redundancy so you can always draw into what you need
ooooooh okay! I will take a crack at thatbwhen i have free time tonight and see what I find and send it here! thank you for the clarification!
this was the satya deck I built, it was ok, but too inconsistent https://archidekt.com/decks/17327000/satya
its extremely budget
oohh okay, see im trying to make the precons i currently have into power houses, been kinda rough 😂
I mean the deck I built goes off, but it needs a bit more work to hit consistently, there are a few infinite combos in there, but it needed more card draw mostly
itll still give you some ideas of things you can add, as you see that deck is classed as a bracket 4
but it cant live in b4, with the consistency issues, it either dominates or loses horribly
yeah and im trying to make a deck that isnt combo
(an energy counter).
