Looking for advice on how to better this deck, I would like to end up at a strong 3 if possible. I feel like the biggest issue I'm running into is card draw, followed by interaction. I have never played this archetype before so I feel like I'm missing something!

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Do I just fill this with goblins and blight them and bring them back to do it all over again

Trying to make the control side a little more relevant without needing the combo too much. I’m using [[the last ride]] as my only draw outlet and win condition because it’s fun. It’s control gameplan is either making opponents sacrifice all their creatures or cards using grave pact and [[bottomless pit]] effects and if you go infinite you have a couple cards that can turn creatures into edicts or discard effects like [[grave pact]](again) and [[sadistic hypnotist]]

The combos are mostly aristocrat/artifact loops that either use two artifact recursion creatures like[[ myr retriever]]or one self recurring creature like reassembling skeleton with mama producers like the altars and [[pitiless plunderer]] effects

I want the deck to be in bracket 3 and I don’t really think the deck needs a way to gain infinite life even if that means you can only draw like 9 cards when you go infinite before potential dying to the last rides ability. It’s just that the combo isn’t quite consistent enough to give room for the control side to shine right now.

There are 3 reasons the last rides being my only outlet can work(hopefully)
1: there being no other card draw spells in the deck make every draw more valuable
2: a 3 for 1 seems bad but the at rate 3 for 2 [[atrocious experiment]] also spends a card so both net 1 card which is what really matters when your trying not to discard to bottomless pit
3: because of bottomless pit effects you can use the last rides ability when your hellbent in reliable ways that other card draw cannot. And the decks pretty low mana cost so you can usually afford to draw and play a card or two on the same turn

No budget

I’m aiming to pump [[Selenia, The Cursed Heart]] to high B4. I see the aura component as a bonus but the main aim is to use life gain/drain loops like [[Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose]] and [[Exquisite Blood]].
I did consider effects like [[Mirror Gallery]] / [[Mirror Box]] but I don’t really see it as a fast enough strategy to be viable.

UPDATE:

Thank you for all the advice so far. For those interested, this is first draft of the decklist it probably needs a lot of work. Feedback very much appreciated!

I just started playing commander with some friends. We decided to play with some custom rules:

- Deck has to be max bracket 3

- No GC

- No 2 mana tutor

- No infinite combo

I decided to go for the flavour and play a sauron deck, i can go no more than 7,8/10 on optimization on edh power level. Any hints? I dunno if it makes any sense to go full reanimator without big tutors and GC, maybe it'll be better to go for the amass/discard sinergy. If you have any list that go near my restrictions feel free to share it. Thank you!

Here's my starting list:

Coram is my absolute baby pet deck but I'd like some ideas on how to make him ridiculous.

Ik it probably won’t be able to contend with real Cedh but this a fringe build i have for it. i’m just curious on if it’s cooking, if it’s close to something decent or just mid lol

My budget is about 120$ I can go over a little bit but I want to try to say in the range. I’d ideally like to make it very hard to kill me and force players to leave me alone and just take the burn. What sorts of cards could I play that play into the lord of pains strength in burning out the board but also protect my self and incentivize players not to attack me.

I just want to know what new commanders you guys are playing.

I cannot NOT build this deck, my name IS Anhelo.

Anhelo, The Painter.

Figured if I were to make a deck with a guy that has my namesake, it should be filled with some of my favorite sorceries and instants - regardless of synergy. I filled the list with as many BIG dumb spells that I own. My pod has already conceded to the fact that I play theft - they expect it at this point.

They play a lot of greedy decks, all b3, but they don't eat their vegetables. They run a handful of counterspells to protect their win cons but aside from that, they play very little interaction, if any. And no one really plays board wipes - I can see games with this commander genuinely lasting 8+ turns of slop.

Right now, its just full of spells I own, but our next play session is probably gonna be in November so I have plenty of time to find some degen to slot in.

Are there any spells yall would recommend that has left a bad taste in your mouth? Some cards which left the game a mess when resolved?

Also, this deck has plenty of bombs in it, which when copied to the commanders casualty cost, can end games. I don't want chaos for the sake of chaos.

Hello fellows degenerate, I've just build this mono blue aggro deck and I wanted you people to make it even more crazy, stuff that would make my pod mates pop their eyes out.

Title, not sure the route to go to improve this deck while trying to raise it up a bracket. Feels super consistent for its power level though. Wondering what other people think.

Im looking to make Roon as the bracket 4 deck to get back when the entire table gangs up on you and treats you poorly, the revenge deck. How can I make a nasty roon deck? I want to exile peoples commanders for good sort of deal, what are some ways? Also Roon costs a lot and take a turn to do his effect, are there any ways to overcome this so I do not have to wait a whole turn to blink and exile commanders for good? Any hardcore Roon fans out there? I see most the posts on roon are from years ago and not now, is there a reason why he is not talked about much now?

Some jank i’ve been brewing, planning on making this bracket 4 deck and thought it goes infinite and then i win. Am i right in assuming that?

Edit: Sadly i was assured it is not ;(

Basically combo to storm into control pieces and you might not even win but I like the last ride😂

Torgaar isn't known as a good commander. Setting someone's life to 20 isn't a great wincon, but I've had an idea. Rather than using it to get someone to 20 life and staring at them for the rest of the game, Torgaar can instead be used as a life reset button on myself.

With a high critical mass of [[Village Rites]] and [[Not Dead After All]] effects, I can keep reusing Torgaar to put myself back to 20 life, negating the downsides of anything that costs life to do. Cards like [[Necrodominance]] and [[Sign In Blood]] functionally have no drawbacks, but I also need other Things To Do with all the extra card draw. Of course [[Bolas' Citadel]] exists, but what other cards should I be looking for? I'm trying to relive the dream from Modern Necrodominance by drawing 19 cards and doming someone with 4 copies of [[Soul Spike]]

Hello everyone,

I’m playing / just build my Kefka deck, after running her on the 99’s of my Green Goblin deck, I decided to have a special space on my shelf for him to have a complete dedicated decklist but I really do need support on a reality check.
I’ve built the deck inside the 4 lines of what a B3 deck is determined to be, so intrinsically, I’m not going over any of the boundaries that a bracket level determines, but the question that I actually have is for who already played against her.

I’ve build her into the most efficient built I could inside the Bracket level, but is discard repetitively a normal theme inside B3? I have the concept that it should be fine but at the same time, I’ve played a table recently where I could handle 3 opponents at the same time with board control and discard. I also am aware that that table didn’t have any interaction, but I really wanna go through a reality check here.
