A 99 card deck of common cards led by a mythic rare commander, Damia, Sage of Stone! The self-appointed challenge with this deck was to only use common cards. At first I wanted to build a deck of only common cards including the commander, but almost all legendaries (save for a handful from Legends) are uncommon or rarer. So I decided that the commander could by any rarity and the rest must be commons. Damia thrives with many low mana cost cards, because the emptier the hand is before upkeep, the more cards that can be drawn. Commons are perfect for this, so Damia is the perfect commander for this deck. Plus Green, Blue, and Black all have some great commons. (And, to keep in the spirit of the deck, all lands are basic)

The understanding with a deck filled with only commons is that the opponent will typically have more powerful cards than me. Each color will bring cards that will help even out the playing field. To begin, Green is providing mostly mana acceleration and fixing. Common cards like Rampant Growth, Cultivate, Search for Tomorrow, and Font of Fertility can all help search for basic lands, which can find the proper lands needed for color and get more than 1 land out per turn. This will help the deck power through to get enough mana for Damia faster. Blue will provide some mana acceleration as well with Dreamscape Artist and Embodiment of Spring, but mostly the idea for Blue is to Unsummon enemy creatures. Black will synergize with this unsummoning by providing discard with sorceries like Mind Rot, Mind Rake, and Wrench Mind. By unsummoning creatures and then forcing discards, these two colors can effectively kill off creatures of any size or color, even indestructible!

The win condition for this deck is for Damia to deal lethal commander damage to players. This may be difficult and drawn out as she only has a power of 4. A couple green power-ups are in the deck, as well as some auras to help Damia. Ideally, the enemy board will be heavily slowed down by repeated unsummons and discard, and my board will be accelerated by green land acceleration.

This deck not only will be very friendly on a budget, but will offer a fun challenge for the player and their opponents. Playing with only commons will offer some nice recognition for some overlooked cards!
