I’m a #PDH pilot and brewer. I love commons and people. Let’s paint alters of $0.25 cards and talk shop.
This one is a B E A U T Y for the format.

Here’s where I’d start on a deck dedicated to this newfangled wonder:

some weird combination of these cards makes me think that this isn’t unprecedented in effect, perhaps rate, but only if you’re picking the token…?

here’s a couple of low effort alters I’ve done in my hiatus from competitive magic #PDH #MTG

Coincidentally, the uncommon creatures feel like they’re getting worse.

The big commander is a great option, but I typically swing towards a passive strategy that generally rewards a long game by making X/X creatures, like:

- Crowd-Control Warden
- Seize the Storm
- Leyline Invocation
- Serpentine Curve

Bonus points if you’re running instant and sorcery recursion :)

There’s a host of recent effects I’ve enjoyed immensely from green, that is slowly becoming a stable archetype.

- Ambitious Dragonborn
- Tumbleweed Rising
- Miming Slime
- Dance of the Tumbleweeds

I’m very excited to get more of these as time goes on, and see how big things can get.

Santa and the Grinch but they’re in a geopolitical battle over portions of my LGS bulk bin.

I’m trying out Chainer’s Edict in my Morbid Opportunist list for cPDH, we’ll see how it goes!

Why not put the fog effect in the command zone? Here’s a decklist that surprised me in #PDH.

- card advantage
- growing threat
- cheap activation
- graveyard synergies
- cheap initial cost

I forgot to mention another one of my favorite cards. Shoutout to Ebony Horse, which serves so many purposes as a combat utility piece. A couple activation tricks:
- free attack triggers
- after first strike damage
- pseudo vigilance after damage
- targeting hardened escort

It’s cards like Hardened Escort that make me excited to play voltron-esk strategies in #PDH.

Also, what’s your favorite high-toughness Rasaad creature? Asking for a friend… 🫣

There’s nothing that quite matches the feeling of hitting a Bubbling Muck into a Pestilence.

“chat, is colossal dreadmaw broken?”

I tried to build indebted spirit and it really didn’t turn out all that great. I’d be curious to see what you come up with
December 14, 2024 at 3:24 AM
I would cut the rituals in favor of mana rocks, and add more card advantage, in the form of Fanatical Offering type effects. It’s a cool list!

Myriad is a house for multiplayer that is super underrated. Gives you tokens to sac, extra damage at the table, creature ETBs, etc.
December 10, 2024 at 5:50 PM
AND there are a load of cards that reward you for the amount of times the commander has been cast, like #PDH staples Opal Palace and Study Hall. It’s an awesomely unexplored concept.
December 10, 2024 at 5:29 AM
I knew I was catching heat. Favorite ACTUAL two mana 1/3 from recent memory has gotta be Outlaw Medic.
December 9, 2024 at 6:31 PM
I’ve never been so happy with my new cPDH commander, Morbid Opportunist.
December 9, 2024 at 6:07 PM
What’s a card that has fantastic art, but the mechanics make it rather unplayable?
December 7, 2024 at 7:09 AM
One of my favorite PDH commanders that makes a cute lil’ token from this year: 🎊
