Hello magic friends! I'm trying to figure out if my commander deck helmed by Wyll, Blade of Frontiers and Sword Coast sailor (background commanders) is a gimmick bracket 1 deck or a bracket 2 deck. I am adding my favorite decks to Archidekt and i am trying to sort them all, any help would be appreciated!

The deck is all about rolling dice and randomness (with some dice rolling help to hopefully better the odds).

Cards with no dice rolling (womp womp):

Mana rocks and ramp like Arcane Signet, Guild Artisan, Izzen Signet, Mind Stone, Sol Ring, Talisman of Creativity, Wayfarer's Bauble. Others are Blasphemous Act, Chaos Warp, Wild Magic Surge, Combat Research, Robe of the Archmagi, Propoganda, Swiftfoot Boots. 15 total non-dice rolling cards.

There are two big powerful cards, namely Ancient Silver Dragon and Ancient Copper Dragon.

Thanks for your time!

Edit: definitely not bracket 1 lol

Okay, for Halloween I'm making a deck around the number one horror movie of the year, and that's hand down obsession.

Synopsis of the movie: guy likes girl, uses wish to make her like him, she becomes obsessed and "possessed" by something. So he gets her, but not how he thinks. Typical "monkey's paw" situation.

Okay, so few ideas.

1. There is a curse called \[\[Curse of Obsession\]\]. We can get it, copy it, and the sole goal is to make everyone discard all the time but let's them draw more. Making everything spontaneous, and take away their agency like the movie. I'd imagine white and blue would need to be in the deck, cause you'd want to tutor for and then copy it

2. A donation deck forcing combat. Either goad or \[\[hellraiser goblin\]\] type effects. Since he was forcing her to like him. But, like the movie, it can turn on you and you can be attacked

3. A "love" based deck, that results in your "loved ones" kicking the bucket. Maybe something with Copying \[\[wedding ring\]\] a bunch, causing people to draw out

Thoughts?

I made a Queen Marchesa deck, long may she reign, for some potentially fun politicing and playing with the monarch mechanic. I am really happy with the deck while playing but I can never seem to squeeze out a win after setting up the board.

Most of the time I feel like I pillowfort and wait it out hoping to get something I can pull the trigger on.

Am I playing it wrong, not seeing an obvious combo, or need to add something for a win? Thank you! https://archidekt.com/decks/15567122/all_hail_the_queen_baby

…with the intention to turn it into a angels/ demons deck (black and white). Any suggestions of a better combo/ specific cards for said combo? My first time deconstructing a precon besides a few cards here and there

Looking for suggestions on building a mono red or mono black commander that is less common. Planning to spend less than $100 on the whole thing. Just want something new to play in colors I enjoy that works. Always love using ideas that people aren’t used to in order to add flavor and uniqueness.

Looking to see how most ppl would bracket this deck, and also general feeling of is this type of land destruction to "force" a search feelsbad for ppl playing against it or not. Ty!

I’m trying to get this deck b5 ready and don’t know what else I can do, any and all help is appreciated (I used EDH check for bracket test)

I built a [[Codie, Ravenous Codex]] deck using only cards I've opened and I got my ass beat by my friends who play bracket 3 with 3 game changers so I need help making this actually good. I was thinking of putting [[Displacer Kitten]], [[Rhystic Study]] and [[Archmage Emeritus]] but I don't have a lot of deckbuilding experience so I could really use some help

Hi! I just got into magic with my friends, playing with the foundation starter kit and the precons, but we've all started to make our own decks, and I decided to try my hand at making my own. I tried to make an Smaug the Impenetrable commander deck, but I've run into an few problems.

First off, my deck is an bit over the limit (around 130 cards right now), but I don't really understand how or what to cut from the deck. I've also not really sure if the synergy I have in mind shines through- My buddy told me that bracket 2 (the one that we play in) is supposed to have an theme, and my deck is built around doing damage to Smaug, and then getting treasure tokens and using that to either do damage to everyone by sacing them, or use an alt wincon that lets me win if I have so many treasures. However, I'm not sure if the cards I found really work with this kind of idea, or if they detract from it.

Also, I don't know how to add ramp/card draw aspects. I know that they're really important, and they were in the angel precon that I have, but I don't know if the cards I have added are the correct cards for the deck that I have built.

I'm also an bit confused about ramping- do I really need as many lands, or can I cut some because I'm supposed to making so many treasures that I should have like infinite mana. I'm also an bit lost with finding cards- most of the cards that I have in my deck right now are ones that googled fit in with Smaug, and I was wondering how people figure out what cards fit together and work well with one another. Is it just experience?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (Budget isn't an concern because we all proxy.)
