Deckbuilding Contest - February 2025 (Locked)

{"ops":[{"insert":"Hey all!\n\nThis is my Selesnya burn deck featuring "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Saffi Eriksdotter"}},{"insert":" as the commander: "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/10498446"},"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/10498446"},{"insert":"\n\nThe gameplan is to burn the table with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Stern Judge"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Karma"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Royal Decree"}},{"insert":" and finish players with an evasive "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Angry Mob"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Crusading Knight"}},{"insert":". All is based on the number of swamps your opponents control, so a small sidequest of the deck will be to tutor "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth"}},{"insert":" and put it into play.\n\nThe burn damage is amplified by making copies of the above mentioned creatures or enchantments with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Yenna, Redtooth Regent"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Springheart Nantuko"}},{"insert":", respectively. Also, your ramppackage comes in the form of grouphug –or in this case groupslug– cards, which let your opponents tutor lands to the battlefield and which will eventually be turned into swamps. Examples are "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Collective Voyage"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"New Frontiers"}},{"insert":". Supporting this idea, the deck takes advantage of removal that let you opponents put lands into play like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Path to Exile"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Field of Ruin"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Boseiju, Who Endures"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Settle the Wreckage"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Winds of Abandon"}},{"insert":".\n\nTo enable the gameplay, the deck relies on a fair amount of tutors, devided between tutors that let you tutor for:\na) lands; like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Weathered Wayfarer"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sowing Mycospawn"}},{"insert":",\nb) creatures; like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Recruiter of the Guard"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pattern of Rebirth"}},{"insert":",\nc) enchantments; like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sterling Grove"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Moon-Blessed Cleric"}},{"insert":".\n\nYour commander functions as a protection piece, card-draw-enabler for "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Welcoming Vampire"}},{"insert":"-type effects, or tutor-enabler for "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pattern of Rebirth"}},{"insert":". Other cute things the deck can perform are redirecting the damage you get from "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Karma"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Stern Judge"}},{"insert":" to another player via "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Glarecaster"}},{"insert":", or use "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gift of Immortality"}},{"insert":" to use "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Saffi Eriksdotter"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Spore Frog"}},{"insert":" every turn.\n\nThe deck is built to be resilient, therefore features a decent amount of protection, lifegain and recursion. Most notable cards are "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shifting Woodland"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Suture Priest"}},{"insert":" (doubles as burn), "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Disciple of Freyalise // Garden of Freyalise"}},{"insert":" (the dream is to sacrifice "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Crusading Knight"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Angry Mob"}},{"insert":" and return them via "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Saffi Eriksdotter"}},{"insert":"). Removal is, at least partly, included in tutorable forms of creatures ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Loran of the Third Path"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Commander Sofia Daguerre"}},{"insert":") or lands ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Abstergo Entertainment"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Field of Ruin"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pit of Offerings"}},{"insert":").\n\nIf you don’t want the deck to contain as much removal and/or protection, you could also include additional burn packages which can be found in the sideboard. To give a short description:\na) "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Giggling Skitterspike"}},{"insert":" + "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Flickering Ward"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Whip Silk"}},{"insert":",\nb) "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Psychosis Crawler"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Scrawling Crawler"}},{"insert":" + white multiple-players-draw-spells like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Your Temple Is Under Attack"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Secret Rendezvous"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cut a Deal"}},{"insert":",\nc) draining via extort like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Blind Obedience"}},{"insert":", or redirecting with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Eye for an Eye"}},{"insert":".\n\nThat’s it. Thanks to everyone who was reading this primer and took the time to look at my deck. 😊\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/11237334/arms_dealing"},"insert":"Arms Dealing - Azorius Goad"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nAzorius is known for controlling opponents by suppressing their threats, but this deck plans to force combat amongst our opponents and empower them with donated equipment, while profiting off the carnage. When the dust settles, we can take the gifts for ourselves and suit up for the win 1v1.\n\nThe deck revolves around "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist"}},{"insert":", who can equip auras and equipment to "},{"attributes":{"underline":true,"bold":true},"insert":"any permanent"},{"insert":", not just our own. This means we can deliver powerful weapons like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Blackblade Reforged"}},{"insert":", force our opponents into combat with things like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bloodthirsty Blade"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dulcet Sirens"}},{"insert":", and profit from their attacks with triggers like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Key to the Vault"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Argentum Armor"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Spirit Loop"}},{"insert":". Being able to equip opponents' creatures unlocks a bunch of neat ways to benefit from the their combat, even without goad's foundational color, red.\n\nCheck out the deck description for more details. It seems a worthy addition to the mere 5 azorius goad decks tagged on EDHREC, all built around Sokrates.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/10654337/atarka_blink"},"insert":"Dragonlord Atarka: Gruul Blink"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nI have always wanted to find a reason to play "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dragonlord Atarka"}},{"insert":" as my commander, and now I have one. This Gruul Blink deck aims to get a solid board of creatures with great ETB effects, and blink them with artifacts such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Conjurer's Closet"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Golden Argosy"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sword of Hearth and Home"}},{"insert":", or to achieve a \"pseudo blink\" effect by copying with cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Jaxis, the Troublemaker"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Heat Shimmer"}},{"insert":". It also serves as a reason to play the incredible "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Horned Kavu"}},{"insert":", though admittedly not an amazing one. There are even a handful of Panharmonicon effects to get more ETB per ETB, my favorite of which is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mirror March"}},{"insert":".\n\nWith ramp ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Topiary Stomper"}},{"insert":"), card draw ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Garruk's Uprising"}},{"insert":"), and removal ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Acidic Slime"}},{"insert":") all coming on ETB packages, a lot of toolbox value can be amassed just by blinking one or two creatures per turn cycle. The game can eventually be closed just by swinging the board (as most of the creatures come with big bodies), or with tokens from "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Avenger of Zendikar"}},{"insert":", possibly together with the pinging from "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Purphoros, God of the Forge"}},{"insert":".\n"}]}

It focuses around Tameshi's activated ability which can recycle a lot of cheap payoffs or engines for the deck (Lotus Bloom etc.). The deck aims to control the board long enough with its landfall triggers (Check \"Control\" section) and then win with infinite landfall triggers via Patron of the Moon, Amulet of Vigor/Tiller Engine and any activated ability that lets you bounce a land back to hand (or any bounce land). From there you can mill everyone out with Ruin Crab or Hedron Crab, make infinite 8/8 Krakens with Ominous Seas or generate infinite mana to win. The deck started off as a stupid idea but it turned out kinda cool and also kinda playable in the end.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Here is my "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Judith, Carnage Connoisseur"}},{"insert":" counterspells deck.\n\nhttps://archidekt.com/decks/11313557/rakdos_control\n\nThere are 18 different cards in here that can counter spells! No changing targets since that's a thing red does really well already. My personal favorite is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Withering Boon"}},{"insert":" because I was surprised to see a counterspell in black printed all the way back in Mirage!\n\nJudith rewards your counterspells by making imps, and she also lets you do some cool stuff with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Blasphemous Act"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Fire Covenant"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Smash to Dust"}},{"insert":".\n\nYou can really go into a control game plan with lots of ways to prevent aggressive decks from wiping you out. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Caltrops"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Circle of Flame"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ensnaring Bridge"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bothersome Quasit"}},{"insert":" all do a nice job with that. You also get "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Halls of Mist"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Glacial Chasm"}},{"insert":" with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Crucible of Worlds"}},{"insert":".\n\nI wouldn't really bank on combos since there are only two tutors, but I wanted the deck to feel a little different every time instead of playing the same lines each game. However, if you can pull it off, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Possibility Storm"}},{"insert":" plus "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vexing Bauble"}},{"insert":" can really shut things down once you get a big threat on board like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Emrakul, the Promised End"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kozilek, the Great Distortion"}},{"insert":".\n\nI also threw in three extra turn spells just to really make it feel like a blue deck! I think they could be swapped out for anything in the maybe board, but they are definitely neat.\n\nI hope you like it, and if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!\n\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Hi all! \n\nI would like to start by saying that I have only just recently gotten back into paper magic and - more importantly - gotten into theory crafting deck lists. So, when I logged into archidekt and saw that there was a competition I was very excited by the challenge. So, thank you for providing such a fun community event! Now, enough rambling and onto my brew.\n\nI have created an"},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/11242638/orzhov_energy"},"insert":" Orzhov Energy"},{"insert":" deck helmed by "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Laezel, Vlakith's Champion"},{"insert":", partnered with the "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Agent of the Shadow Thieves"},{"insert":" background. Typically Laezel is run as a commander in a +1/+1 counter or planeswalkers matter deck - both of which are subthemes of this deck - but I am instead utilising her ability to add an additional counter to the player who controls her to ramp up my energy production. Shadow Thieves may not be the most powerful background for this deck theme, but synergises really well with Laezel and can help in more combat orientated match ups. Although white is included in Jeskai energy decks which makes it a relatively common colour for the archetype, black isn't, and in fact as of Aetherdrift, has the least support in the archetype as green got a lot of new energy cards. However, I'd argue any two colour combination energy deck is rare enough, as with how few cards there have been in the archetype it was always more value to pick three colours.\n\nBut why Orzhov over any other two colour combination?\n\nAside from the value Laezel provides, white has access to some very useful spells that generate and use energy, with some highlights being:\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Aetherstorm Roc"},{"insert":", which generates energy off of creature etbs, can grow itself, and tap defending creatures."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Jolted Awake"},{"insert":", a versatile recursion tool or cycle card."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Razorfield Ripper"},{"insert":", a powerful solo attacker that buffs itself equal to your energy count, or equips to a creature to give them the same effect."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Salvation Colossus"},{"insert":", a strong attacker and utility piece for the late game that opponents will have a hard time removing."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nAnd Black's energy spells provide some unique and powerful effects that other colours don't, such as:\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Chthonian Nightmare"},{"insert":", an enchantment that generates energy on etb, and can spend it on bouncing itself whilst returning a creature from the graveyard to the battlefield."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Demon of Dark Schemes"},{"insert":", a big body on board that on etb can remove token spam - sorry Krenko players - and generates energy off creature deaths."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Glint Sleeve Siphoner"},{"insert":", a creature that can generate its own energy to use, and spend it to get the effect of a Phyrexian Arena, and with Laezel the effect is net 0."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Gonti's Machinations"},{"insert":", another way to reliably gain energy and spend it to drain your opponents life whilst keeping yours healthy."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nBeyond this, there are some very valuable colourless energy pieces, like:\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Aetherflux Codui"},{"insert":"t, a new artifact that generates a massive amount of energy, and with enough can draw you seven cards and allow you to play your entire hand for free."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Aetherworks Marvel"},{"insert":", another new artifact that can spend energy on a powerful draw effect."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Fabrication Module"},{"insert":", an artifact that provides a +1/+1 counter whenever you create energy."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Gonti's Aether Heart"},{"insert":", another versatile energy generator that can spend it on taking an extra turn."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nHowever, Orzhov offers a lot more than just its energy effects. Black is well known to have some powerful tutor cards - a lot of which are here because I don't have a budget on this hypothetical deck - and White offers some of the most consistent removal and protection options which keeps this deck in control of the game. Orzhov also has a fair few proliferate options like "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Vraska, Betrayel's Sting"},{"insert":" and "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Metallic Evangel"},{"insert":" which will boost all the counters this deck makes. There are also many other staples present in this deck like "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Dark Ritual"},{"insert":", "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Esper Sentinel"},{"insert":", and "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Smothering Tithe"},{"insert":" to keep it as competitive as possible.\n\nI also found a fun combo with my commander Laezel and the brand new planeswalker T"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"he Aetherspark"},{"insert":". When casting the Aetherspark and attaching it to Laezel, you can get it up to 11 loyalty counters in one turn, or more if Laezel has another effect increasing her power, all of which is ready to create 10 mana the next turn. And if this is done perfectly on curve, that is 10 mana on turn 5, which is more than enough to snowball the game. \n\nThis deck list has many ways to win the game and generally plays the way an Orzhov value deck would, which may not be the most creative divergence from the colour identity, but I believe the way it does it is very unique, and for one of my first ten brews, I am very proud of the list I achieved. I will also very likely create a budget version of this deck, because $650 is a lot and there are some weaker alternate cards that could be swapped in. I love aetherborn and by playing in black was able to include some of their iconic cards in this list as well. And so, I will leave you all with Live Fast and Die Young's wisdom. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"When you have the chance, take it. Laugh, sing, dance.
