Hey there everybody! I was playing a game of commander a little while back and just got hit by a wave of happiness when I thought about all the good times with the deck I was playing. I instantly wanted to share it! So here's my idea: post your favorite or most beloved deck here (it doesn't matter what format) and share why you love it! Maybe share a great memory too!

Here's mine:


*Primer* A Hellish Crusade [Edgy Specter Tribal]

Okay, so this is a specter tribal deck I created in January of 2019. I know it's recent, but I already have some great memories with this deck! I like this deck because it's unique and it allows me to play cards most people don't even know about. For example, one user who commented on my deck didn't know that Specter was a tribe in Magic! The deck is ridiculously fun, especially when you cast Kindred Charge and swing for 30-40 damage and your opponents just discard their hands! One of the reasons this deck resonates with me is that I've always enjoyed discard. I think the ability to get rid of threats before they happen is really cool and overall, I like graveyard shenanigans. (Looking at you Body Double ) My favorite memory with this deck was when I got 10, yes 10 Sire of Stagnation . How did I do this? Well the deck runs a lot of clones so that I can make copies of my specters (there are only 22 in the game right now). One of the cool things the deck can do is say: "Hey you have something really nice? Now I do too!" So my friend Gareth plays Sire of Stagnation , I play Dack's Duplicate , then I play Mirror Image targeting the duplicate. Now I have two sires, but wait there's more! I play Clone making another sire, then I cast Cackling Counterpart and pay flashback! That's FIVE Sire of Stagnation . Every time my opponent plays a land, I draw TEN CARDS!!!!! Then I cast Kindred Dominance choosing Eldrazi and BOOM 10 Sire of Stagnation !!!! I killed two of my opponents passed the turn. Turns out I'm not running Laboratory Maniac and my opponent played I land, milling me out. I may have lost, but that is easily one of the most fun games I've ever played! That's why I love this deck so much!

This is a great idea for a forum. I have a great memory of this deck: Magic Roons, Laddie. I was playing a game and I wound up with Ashnod's Altar , Trostani Discordant , and Eldrazi Displacer on field and Walking Ballista in hand. At the time, I had no idea that this was an infinite combo. My friend groaned and said “Oh crap, you just win here, right?” “Huh? I do what?” I took another look at the board and everything clicked. I am not ashamed to say that I let off a bit of an evil laugh.

was my first 100% original deck that i brewed where i put my sweat and tears in. It was also the first brew of mine that had alot of success in tournaments.

It was the start of everything for me, i because of it i became known as a resident brewer that would try to make anything work to its potential with pretty good success too!

This deck will always be a fond memory just because of what it inspired me to become. That and 5/5 demons were hella fun in standard hahaha
