My favorite deck I own is my Jasmine Boreal of the Seven all old border deck. Lots of vanilla creatures and an enchantress subtheme for card draw. Its fun to work within the limits of old border only, and its a great excuse to look at tons of old cards.

Some favorites in the deck are Inheritance, Festival, and Moss Monster

Do you have any gimmick/special rules/unique ways of building a certain commander?

I have [[The Mimeoplasm]] as a "play your deck" commander instead of the usual mill and reanimate plan. Probably the most out-there card I include is [[Chaos Wand]]. This deck is really just an excuse to cast [[Villainous Wealth]].

Sometimes I think of interesting deck ideas but I'm too lazy to bother actually making a list and instead just browse cards on Scryfall for fun. I'm also just not playing nearly as much these days.

It's not together anymore, but I used to have an [[Oloro, Ageless Ascetic]] sitting in chairs deck. At the time I tried to mostly only use cards that had someone sitting in a chair, but cheated a little as long as a chair was somewhere in the art. I'm sure a lot more cards exist now, along with alt arts that you could probably fill a whole deck of seated people. That included instant, sorcery, and enchantments too. I let artifacts slide because a deck basically needs mana rocks to function.

I had no idea about this. Thats amazing.

[–] MacedWindow@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yes! Its very useful for the Jasmine deck. I think the search term for old border only is [is:old]

I'm still acquiring cards for this, but I have a really cool [[Mikaeus, the Unhallowed]] EDH deck that focuses on undying mechanics and ETB effects for creatures. Tons of reanimation effects, and [[Persist]] type cards.

Here's the full decklist

I'm still trying to figure out a way to make all of my Baldurs Gate legendaries play nice with all of my Fallout legendaries. Probably won't come back into the hobby until another major crossover event like what's been going on lately because I hate having to dump hundreds of dollars a year on staying up to date. Realizing I'd burned like 400 dollars back during Return to Ravnica just deck-chasing got me to reorient my priorities honestly

@MacedWindow My favourite unique deck is my Claire D'Loon deck: https://archidekt.com/decks/4162863/claire

It's plan B is to win with [[Battle of Wits]].

It's plan A is the obvious token shenanigans.
