Multiplayer Deck (Expert Help Needed)

Standard Deck Help forum

Posted on June 8, 2015, 4:06 a.m. by SapphireARC

Just going to start off by saying that I am usually the target of the majority of our 4 way magic battles. Since I have a decent 1v1 deck, they all target me first to get me out. I need to retaliate in kind.

Cards that have effects that threaten all my opponents at once began to intrigue me. Walls also caught my eye for protection.

Is this idea of 'multi-opponent' attacks, and walls foolish? Or are there any viable standard options for multiplayer that will allow me to survive longer, and potential pull a win at times when attacked from most angles?

Mardu is great for multiplayer games in standard.

Crackling Doom, Purphoros, God of the Forge, Mogis, God of Slaughter, Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Stormbreath Dragon, Sorin, Solemn Visitor, and Underworld Coinsmith are just a few cards.

You could also do Siege Rhino in an abzan deck.

Not to mention Atarka's Command.

Well it depends on what it is your after. By hitting all opponents with everything you do (I have a theme-atic Nicol Bolas deck where it hits everyone equally) it plays like an arch-nemesis deck, and so can attract a lot of hate from everyone.

I would take the focus as a compliment. But perhaps its time to build a goofy deck which doesn't attract focus.

But if your after punishing everyone else at the table, have a look through the cards here: Nicol Bolas

white and black are nescessary so you might as well run soul sisters withSoul Warden, Soul's Attendant, Suture Priest, Blood Artist, Falkenrath Noble, Deathgreeter which all power Ajani's Pridemate and Wall of Limbs.You could also add some orzhov extort cards such as Tithe Drinker and Crypt Ghast not to mention that Debt to the Deathless is perfect for this.

If your running abzan then Essence Warden and Ageless Entity are available

If I'm not mistaken, this is a standard deck forum, not a modern one.

Yeah sorry guys, I play Standard. I should have made it more apparent in my above post instead of the little nod at the end. I still appreciate the help though.

Any good STANDARD options like the Mardu suggestions?
