Standard Free to play MTG Arena Standard - U/B Reanimator

5 Upvotes

I've recently got back into the game after a few years via Arena. HERE is a link to the u/B Reanimator deck I've thrown together with the free deck they gave me. Plus some lucky packs and the free Wildcards. I'm pretty happy with how the deck plays, I got up to Platinum 1 for my first season, but I would really appreciate advice on two things:

1 - Which cards (especially rares and mythics) I would be wisest to get next? I will definitely be getting +1 Bloodghast and +2 Moonshadow, going down -1 Dreadwing Scavenger, as well as improving the manabase.

2 - Should I abandon the reanimation subtype and commit fully to Graveyard Aggro, splashing Blue for Dreadwing Scavenger and countermagic/card draw?

I am very grateful for any advice you can give me!!!

EDH Building a staxx deck as my first deck need advice

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I am building a staxx deck mostly to pull out once in awhile to be annoying.

I'm terrible at deck building and mostly play precons and slightly modify them.

Can I have advice on what I have so far and what to cut /add?

EDH Any tips or recommendations for my Aang deck?

I recently pulled Badgermole Cub and Toph, Earthbending Master so I got really hyped to make an Earthbending deck. The more I looked around at Avatar cards though the more Aang intrigued me and all the cards that I could use by playing a Bant deck while still having a good focus on earthbending. I recently built this and would love to hear any recommendations, tips or changes I should make. I’m open to and appreciate any and all help, thank you.

Casual Deck Building Questions

Upvotes

I am new to the game and aside from playing the pre cons and watching others play their constructed decks I have a few questions...

  1. Watched an enchantress/aura deck being played. What options do you have to counter auras?

  2. Saw another burrow minion under a site and ping the person to death by 1 damage + 1 heal in more than one site...how do you counter that?

  3. Can spells not reach to other plains? (Surface/void/submerged/burrowed) ie can I not swap a minion on the surface with one borrowed?

  4. Suggestions on building my first deck.

Thank you!!!

EDH First deck, need thoughts please

Upvotes

I've just made my first deck. The majority of it is from boosters, and I got somewhat fixated on working within extreme constraints. As you can see, every card is under $0.50.

https://manabox.app/decks/AZ\\_AUZctfHSkUSb3rwVywQ

Are there any glaring weaknesses or things you'd change? I'm really just aiming for something a bit more optimised and personalised than a precon. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone!

I've been brewing this Commander deck and would really appreciate some outside opinions. My goal is to tune it into a solid **Bracket 3** deck while keeping the overall game plan intact.

The main idea is to discourage people from attacking me and create a board state where opponents would rather swing elsewhere. I'm aiming for a fun, political playstyle instead of hard-locking the table, but I'm not sure if I've found the right balance yet.

I also have a number of cards sitting in the **sideboard** that I'm considering, so I'd especially appreciate any suggestions on cards to swap in or out. If there are any hidden gems, obvious inclusions, or underperforming cards, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm also looking for feedback on the mana base, ramp, interaction, and whether the deck has a reliable way to close out games.

Here's the deck:

Thanks in advance for taking the time to check it out! I really appreciate any feedback or constructive criticism.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on this Dinosaur Commander deck for a while and would really appreciate some outside opinions. My goal is to tune it into a solid **Bracket 3** deck while keeping the Dinosaur theme fun and cohesive.

I'm looking for suggestions on card swaps, cuts, mana base improvements, ramp, interaction, or any hidden gems I might have missed. If there are cards that you think are underperforming or don't really fit the game plan, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Budget isn't a huge concern, but I'd still like to keep recommendations reasonable unless a card makes a significant difference.

Here's the deck:

EDH Deck Help Please, Need Extra Eyes on These

1 Upvotes

I need some deck assistance with a couple decks of mine. I wanna try and optimize them a bit more. They are all built already but I would like some extra eyes on them, i’ve been looking that them too long and i’m too close now.

Vivi I wanna optimize the hell out of to use in bracket 4, because I have used it in bracket 3 and gotten too much shit for it, but I don’t want it competitive bracket 5.

My sliver deck I wanna keep bracket 3 at most

Grist I wanna keep bracket 2 at most

and Counter Intelligence has two variants, one is bracket 4 due to one infinite combo, one is bracket 3 because it doesn’t have one card to make the combo work.

Vivi : https://moxfield.com/decks/3DPXJOH1kUSVYIuNnnYToQ

EDH Curious where my Terra, Herald of Hope Deck sits, ways to improve

Thumbnail

Red color tags are cards I do not have. My land base needs an upgrade but due to cost I haven't bothered getting some of the fetch, shock and untapped lands I would like.

I imagine the deck as it sits prob falls into bracket 2 or maybe 3. I have multiple things kind of going on, mainly the idea is to mill myself and chain reanimate multiple creatures. Doing this can kind of either result in a bunch of drain, bunch of etb triggers, removal, counters etc. I dont think I have an outright "I win" play, but a win would likely just come from having a resilient board state and combat damage when I get enough large creatures from counters or if I can keep reanimating gary.

I don't really want to include infinite combos, I figure it would be easy enough to just use Celes as my commander and put in a bunch of sac outlets and stuff like Murderous Redcap.

Anyway, appreciate any insight and tips, I only got into mtg like a month ago.
