View Full Version : Can someone suggest me a deck?

I generally like to play engine decks / combo. I have absolutely no clue what's good in the format, what isn't. Decks that can play many styles are really fun.
Decks I've liked to play elsewhere:
Legacy: Elves, Storm, BUG Delver, Infect, Death & Taxes
Standard: UW Reveillark-Blink (http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Standard_Reveillark_Combo_deck), Demigod Red (http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Standard_Red_Aggro), Junk Reanimator (http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=5680&d=232957&f=ST)
Pauper: UR Cloudpost & Infect (yay) => Affinity (kinda meh) => Izzet Drake (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/513160#paper) (yay) => Tron (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CzC2AEIUUAEsLPO.jpg:large), Boros Tokens (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/531877#paper)
German Highlander: GBW Pattern-Rector (http://deck.tk/6Swp09BE), UW Control
So lots of combo, recursion, general brokenness. Value Town.dec is fun as well. I want to play Magic and do broken things, not masturbate or play fair.

Just pick a Legendary creature you like. Commander is more degenerate than Legacy in reality. I recommend Breya if you want to pick an easy one to build.

Edric.
Your deck is beat as a mix of mana dorks, unblockable creatures, time walk effects and Counterspells. Notorious Throng and Regrowth becomes the most nasty combo you have seen outside of an instant win effect.

Check your German Highlander deck against the EDH banned list, remove a card, and pick a :w::b::g: legendary creature. :cool:
That will at least get you playing. Once you've gotten your feet wet, you'll have a better idea of what you want to play.
Is it for Multiplayer? The thing is the usually the more broken things get hated on harder in Multiplayer, so while the deck is better, you probably won't win much.
Obvious answers for "broken" decks are:
Narset, Enlightened Master (Pack the deck with extra turn cards, like Time Warp, or things like Relentless Assault and so one swing with Narset usually just wins the game.)
Zur the Enchanter (This one is the perennial broken Commander, when I played the deck, I made a more control build when Zur gets lock pieces and Necropotence and then win with Zur at your leisure.)
Arcum Dagsson (Artifact combos that are pretty easy to assemble, the rest is just Big Blue control.)
Riku of Two Reflections (Ramp spells into a ton of copy effects make winning pretty easy, but this isn't really a "combo" deck in the strict sense.)
Oloro, Ageless Ascetic and Derevi, Empyrial Tactician are also really good, but they aren't the "Volton-inveitability" sort, more of the "able to grind out a ton of value" sort. Tasigur, the Golden Fang fits into the category too.

You seem to have a lot of the pieces for a Karador, Ghost Chieftain deck. The deck is very flexible and acts as a midrange/grindy shell with a combo finish. It's also one of the top five ultra-competitive decks the format has so as your playgroup improves, you can "tune up" the deck, so to speak. It tends to run over builds that aren't optimized though.
You pretty much just use and re-use value creatures to control the pace of the game until you can get a sac outlet and Boonweaver Giant in play to go find Pattern of Rebirth which will give you the rest of your deck. The colors give you access to pretty much all the best stuff this format has to offer.

Yeah, Multiplayer primarily. Zur's an old favorite, and Karador mentioned below seems nice.

Ooh, nice. Is it good primarily in duel commander or multiplayer normal banlist?

Multiplayer normal ban list. French is pretty fast and disruptive and you can get buried under discard/removal. The number of opponents doesn't really matter (outside of interactions like counterspells) because your win condition is Reveillark/Karmic Guide loops.

I was mostly thinking about survival. Do you have any reference lists to try?

This is my current list which has been pulled back pretty hard on power level to help it be more interactive with a standard EDH group. You get to play some pretty fun cards while being relevant pretty much the entire game. I cut the Boonweaver combo because it's a little too consistent.

If you want to push the deck as hard as possible, look for a list online by someone named Cobblepotts. They have put a significant amount of work into making Karador as mean and fast as possible. Competitive EDH is strange format, so be prepared to cut a lot of "fun" cards that people like to play in their decks.

That looks really fun! Also took a look at Cobblepott build and that looks like a riot too.
