Mono Black Control/Midrange
Traditional Historic
01 Aug by PenguinHugs
This decklist is centered around building up toward an inevitable end and has multiple ways of getting there, which is something I always enjoy as it keeps things fresh from game to game. I chose BO3 as I find there are fewer gimmick decks where you're either building specifically against them or...

Kiora's Unsealing

26 Jun by lAmebAdger
Therapeutic Midrange
Sarkhan's Unsealing
Once in a while I get the itch to play Sarkhan's Unsealing, drop some big creatures and smash everything with satisfying cracks. It's cathartic! I also love grinding and drawing cards. Naturally this led me to put together ...
Abzan sacrifice STX
Traditional Historic
27 Apr by Razaele
Another set, another sacrifice deck :)
Kind of combo-midrange, our plan is to play a bunch of dorks and kill them to trigger lots of death effects, killing the key pieces of our opponent in the process.
As a Collected Company deck, we feature 31 maindeck creatures of c...

Kefnet Control
Traditional Historic
14 Apr by SoC
Haven't played Magic in about two years and sorely lacking in cards, but at least this old Kefnet control list with a few updates still seems to perform well, even in historic. I'm a little behind on the meta so I might be updating this list as I play more.

Mono-Black Midrange
Traditional Historic
06 Apr by Chahzel
Overview:
This is a Historic mono-black midrange deck built around Phylactery Lich and Phyrexian Obliterator. I found the devotion build with Gray Merchant of Asphodel to be unreliable and slow, so I built the deck without weak devotion creatures like Tymaret, Chosen from ...

While being an aristocrats (or sacrifice) deck, this list packs lot of card advantage (most of the cards either filter with scry, draw cards or reuse the graveyard) and ton of incidental damage (which is the main win conditi...

Big red control, yepp thats right red can do control too. How? Just jam all of the Chandras and run the board while shooting your opponent in their smug teferi avatar thats how.

Feather
Traditional Historic
28 Dec by fossar__
This is a Historic-ready import of the Naya Feather deck that was present in the War of the Spark and particularly M20 meta.
Quick disclaimer before we get too far in, this deck is far from top tier and we'll talk a bit about why soon. However, it can hold it's own and has insane burst pot...
