Trash Magic Commander: The series
This thread will house links to all my trash magic decks and whatever I want to say about them. These decks are jank and usually actively horrible. They may follow a theme, they may not. They will not win a lot of games.

These kinds of decks are my jam! Looking forward to the lists
Remember: not everyone is intent on 'growing as a player', analysing their meta and adapting to it, etc. For some people, Magic is just another board game.
Decklists:
A boy and his dog: an adventure (Rograkh & Yoshimaru) | Storytelling, Jank, Cute
Averna, Roulette Croupier: Cascade Chaos | Cascade, Chaos, Group Choices
The Ur-Dragon Tribal Tribal | Randomized Batches, Diverse, Quirky

Oh man, you've really got something special going on when Lay Claim looks like one of the best cards in the deck
I used to have a similarly dirt tier deck with wurms that was helmed by Dragonlord Dromoka. I found that the deck ignored the wurms and just played the commander and punched people in the face, as that was a far more reliable game plan in practice. Have you found yourself having similar issues with Nicky B in the driver's seat?
Looking forward to future instalments. Trashmander is the way out of the cEDH'isation trajectory.

Thankfully nick's upkeep cost and mana cost make that somewhat less good so not thus far. I did cast him as a chunk blocker several turns in a row once. I have not yet won a game but when I've been in pole position it was due to abandoned sarcophagus and then hour of eternity.Rumpy5897 wrote: ↑1 year agoOh man, you've really got something special going on when Lay Claim looks like one of the best cards in the deck

Lay claim is one of the best for sure
I did combo off with cartouches once which felt great lol. It's so cute.
Episode 2: orzhov midrange with Selenia dark angel
This deck plays almost only old old cards and very few staples (I think just ones that were around in revised era). This is it :

This deck illustrates a key to trash magic. It's a good idea to still pay attention to curve I think since otherwise you spend a lot of the time not playing your crap cards.
What I say when I play my Bolas deck is that yes the deck sees a whole lot of cards - it has a lot of cycling and a lot of the bolas themed cards draw. Unfortunately all the cards it draws are in the deck
