An Old-School Nightmare
Commander
25 Jul by Joeinabox
This deck was spawned from the fatigue of seeing and playing the same cards in every EDH deck. I wanted to make a deck completely my own, incorporating all my personal favorite elements of the game. I've always been enamored with the old borders and style of Magic ever since I was a kid and inherite...

Brago, Temporally Infinite
Commander
03 Jun by WanderingTaoist
This deck never dies. I swear. Unless you yolo and get mana screwed, you are likely to be the last player standing, and will probably win due to getting infinite turns. That being said... This deck is purpose built, and is all/only about setting up for infinite turns via Brago flic...
Extus, Combo Overlord
Commander
08 May by ragnarok114
Update 5/2021: Removed Mountain/Plains/Swamp for Altar of Dementia, Cathartic Reunion and Valakut Awakening. The curve of the deck is fairly low and I flooded with too few cards in hand several games in a row. The extra sac outlet and mill were quite nice as well. Welcome to the Society of the...

Osgir, the Reconstructor - Mill
Commander
18 Apr by ussgraf
Deck Summary This deck is primarily focused on mill, both self-mill and milling opponent's libraries. For your starting hand you should be aiming to have a draw effect in hand and hopefully a mill card in hand as well, or two of either would be fine as well. Additionally you'll want a ra...
Thrasios and Tymna - Efficient
Commander
17 Apr by ussgraf
Deck Summary These two partner commanders together are believed to be one of, if not the best commanders in the Commander format. There's good reason behind this opinion, as these decks can be constructed to be extremely efficient, and the card draw available to the commanders will allow you t...

Izzet wheel
Commander
14 Jan by AfricaShock
So, about papa. Main way to build around Parun is wheel archetype, meaning Windfall effects, about which Rule commitee whining so much. With Hullbreacher ban (sadface) it's not as broken as it was, but Narset, parter of veil remains, so it's still playable (for now, at least). Wincons. Your main tar...

Degenerate Yawgmoth
Commander
10 Nov by ragnarok114
Update 3/29/21: Took out Syr Konrad and Black Market for Vampiric Tutor and Feed the Swarm. Considered cutting Phyrexian Arena instead of Market. Syr Konrad is redundant to other pingers in the deck and the goal is to go infinite, not slowly chip opponents down; for that purpose his CMC is too high....

[Commander] Selesnya Tokens
Commander
19 May by sinpyro
If any of you know me, you know that in Brawl, Selesnya tokens is my favorite deck to run. Back when the precons for the last Commander decks were released, I purchased the Madness deck at first but didn't find it to my liking. Then I bought the Ghired deck and immediately felt like I was in my whee...
