Based on my Moxfield version of the deck.

The Mardu Who's Who. The Mardu 30 Under 30.

This deck aims to play only Legendary creatures and turn them sideways. The concept of playing one's favorite Legendary Creatures seems like a lot of fun. I like that as a Legendary Matters deck, this allows for more wiggle room to play favorite legendaries and pet cards. I also like the potential for some other themes:

• Superfriends Planeswalkers
• Backgrounds and "Commander Creatures you control" legendary support.

For my deck I'm mostly looking to play a mix of Legendaries that work well in Aggro strats, as well as some with support and control elements.

No combos in this deck, just beats.

Upgrades & stuff under consideration

The Mardu wedge of the pie has a lot of awesome Legendaries, too many even to choose from. I think one of the fun aspects of this deck, is that I could probably swap out a handful of legendaries each game and try out new combinations of creatures to see what value I can get beyond "Legendaries that do well in aggro and midrange shells"

Obvious Upgrades I don't currently own

• Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer - The price of this monkey is probably never going down. I'm far more likely to proxy this card and Sharpie up a Ragavan token from Kaladesh. Seems like a no-brainer for this deck if it wasn't so expensive. It is absurdly good.

• The Meathook Massacre - A great card, but also absurdly expensive with very little dip in price on the horizon. I'm more inclined to play Toxic Deluge since I have a copy already.

• Both Sheoldred, Whispering One and Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. OG Sheoldred could be a cool edict and recursion piece. I think Mogis fills the edict effect space for now, and the deck has about 5 graveyard recrusion effects. Waiting to see how the prices on new Sheoldred play out after release. I would like some life gain on draws to off set the life loss from Shanid and other draw effects in deck.

Cards I own, but aren't currently in deck

These are all things I have in my binders that I'm far more likely to try out at some point. Most of them are in my considering list at this point. I've noticed that the 4 cmc slot is especially heavy:

• Breena, the Demagogue

• Kambal, Consul of Allocation - My playgroup tends to lean more creature heavy.

• Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire - A tutor on a stick. TBD if I need many, if any tutor effects beyond Search for Glory.

• Virtus the Veiled - Could be a fun & cheesy way to knock someone down significantly in a single swing.

• Gisa, Glorious Resurrector - She's alright. A toolboxy way to hose Aristocrats strats if needed. In a similar vein as Tergrid, God of Fright  

• Jaxis, the Troublemaker - I could see this maybe competing for a spot with Delina, Wild Mage. Jaxis is more predictable for making token copies and can also draw cards. Since I'm not playing with my graveyard, I don't like the discard aspect as much.

• Kardur, Doomscourge

• Liesa, Forgotten Archangel

• Mangara, the Diplomat - I tried this out in my Isshin, Two Heavens as One deck, but I felt it was pretty easy for my opponents to play around Mangara at little detriment to themselves.

• Yawgmoth, Thran Physician - Potential draw engine. I'd be more inclined to include if I were playing a more Aristocrats or Reanimator strat.

• Ilharg, the Raze-Boar

• Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant - Def under consideration in case I need a bit more draw and want to add a Goad subtheme. Apprehensive to add it since Shanid's draw has lifeloss stapled to it.

• Karlach, Fury of Avernus

• Syr Konrad, the Grim

Ramp

This is going to be a fairly standard mix of Rocks and Treasure production. I could add my copy of Smothering Tithe here, but I'd like to see how the deck functions as is first.

Rocks

• Sol Ring
• Arcane Signet
• Fellwar Stone
• Liquimetal Torque
• Mind Stone
• Talisman of Conviction
• Talisman of Hierarchy
• Talisman of Indulgence

Treasure Production

• Black Market Connections
• Captain Lannery Storm
• Atsushi, the Blazing Sky

Draw

A mix of cantrips, looting, impulse, and repeatable effects. In play-testing so far, I've experienced that Shanid draws fairly consistently with the volume of Legendaries in deck, but helps to keep a foot on the gas.

• Geier Reach Sanitarium - Bonus points for being Legendary, and can force opponents to Discard when they may not want to. Has the downside of feeding graveyard strats.

• Savai Triome

• Eye of Vecna - Can essentially be a Draw 2, lose 3 life if it ETBs with Shanid online.

• Mind Stone

• Night's Whisper

• Plumb the Forbidden - Helpful to turn a boardwipe into a draw if protection isn't available.

• Thrill of Possibility - I like that this can help feed Alesha and Garna.

• Black Market Connections

• Laelia, the Blade Reforged

• Tymna the Weaver

• Atsushi, the Blazing Sky

• Nashi, Moon Sage's Scion

• Heroes' Podium - Not necessarily draw, but I like the idea of dumping unused mana into this on the endstep before I'd untap.

Removal

I currently have about 10 targeted or board wipe type effects in deck. Feels a little light, but a few effects are repeatable.

• Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire
• Swords to Plowshares
• Damn
• Rakdos Charm
• Anguished Unmaking
• Dismantling Wave
• Generous Gift
• Wear / Tear
• Mogis, God of Slaughter
• Urza's Ruinous Blast

Alternate Build - Legendary Humans

This alternate build originally started off as Trynn, Champion of Freedom & Silvar, Devourer of the Free deck, but figured Shanid could easily swap in at the helm without much change.

Introducing, People You Know.

As one might guess, the deck focuses very much on humans. Ratadrabik of Urborg is currently the only non-Human in the creature base, in part to get additional value of legends, but also to enable a combo with Boromir, Warden of the Tower.
