Copied directly from @Treamayne thread and idea about making a deck specifically from MTG Nexus users suggestions.
I find myself too biased towards certain staples and ideas and power levels, so this will be a nice change of pace for me.
I literally have done no research or have any ideas behind the commander I've choosen, so looking forward to what people come up with.
With Treamayne selecting O-Kagachi, Vengeful Kami we can get a "MTG Nexus Group Think Versus Group Think" game going.
Hopefully others will also want to build other commanders with this idea, and anybody can obviously pick up the deck lists and play on Cockatrice or whatever.
But I'm going to specifically play this on MTGO and play it on a future MTGO Nexus Night.
Rules:
- No one person can put forth more than one card in any 24 hr period.
- We'll overshoot the deck size (Hoping for about 110-120 nominations) and also community source the cuts down to 99
- Because I am building on MTGO, if a card is not available on the client, I will let you know and you can change your nomination
(If you are unfamiliar, the client has almost everything since Mirage, and a lot that comes before Mirage - but not many of the more interesting Conspiracy/BattleBond cards like Fan Favorite) - We'll nominate by category, saving lands for last (so they can be informed nominations based on what the deck looks like so far)
- When we get to cuts, people will nominate a card to cut, and if it receives 5 votes within 24 hours, it's gone (until we are at 99)
- When cutting, you may post 1 nomination and 1 vote each day (they do not have to be the same post - but you can edit until I tally that day's votes)
I am looking to make a casual (6ish on the common scale) deck with the following characteristics:
- General, as above - Zaxara, the Exemplary
- No Mass Land destruction, unless it replaces with basics
- No Annihilator, Mindslaver effects, or Magister Effects (unless they set life based on starting life - e.g. Torgaar is okay, Magister Sphinx is not)
- Minimum Basic count will be 4 each (Starting at 5 each - that fills my "Land" nomination)
- Combos must be 4 cards or more and interactive
- Categories will be:
Creatures (until we get 25-35)
Non-Creature Permanents (Until we get 20-25)
Spells (until we get 15-25)
Lands (until we get 20-25)
