Sounds interesting. I'm thinking Riku for our deck, though obviously Azami is THE Wizard commander.

Tri color duel decks, I love it!

Always a fan of the duel decks, really the only MTG I pick up any more.

Well, if we're going tri-color, I'll suggest pic for the martial

So, uh...

How to make this set different from the official one?

>>54539643
Are we going to aim for a more low-power/casual theme like last time? I kind of liked that aspect where people weren't just throwing in general goodstuff.

Also, Soldier or Warrior are better fits for the martial side of things. Knights are a bit narrow.

>>54540295
What if instead of the typical Fighter vs Wizard, we went for Rogues vs Clerics or something like that?

>>54540300

We're going more Thematic than power. Wizards stay here and work on the deck, Warrior deck is here: >>54540334

>>54540346
We're going Tri-color, and it's a Commander deck on top of that. It should be enough to make it interesting.

>>54540295
Color combos mostly. For example a URG Caster vs a RWB Agro is going to play out very differnet than a typical R vs U deck.

Also the builds of official Duel decks is that of exploring brode themes with multiple victory conditions for each deck (no more than 2 of a card in each deck).

>>54540355
Well, to start us off, if we're going for Wizardly spellcasting, we'll want very in-real creatures. Illusions and Elementals to duplicate with our commander's second effect

Just be sure that, when we get to the UN-Decks, Frankie Peanuts is banned. If you ask a self referential question, you win the game.

"Is the answer to this question the same as the answer to the question, 'Will you concede the game at the end of this step?'"

>>54540469
Also some Wizard Tribal. I feel like we're going to have a lot of spellslinging needed here

>Eretai vs kresh the bloodbraided
kresh should get REB and some anti counterspell creatures
Eretai should get some boardwipes, tokens (creaturers or otherwise) and a few counterspells as he really should be the main source of counters

I think we need more spells

>>54542219
Actually, I was thinking about this. Both decks benefit from this, so I'm thinking Wizards get Doubling Season, and Martials Anointed Procession?

>>54542254
Those warriors only get some benefit from this if you get some more Raise the Alarms in the warrior deck if I see this correctly. But sure, sounds fun.

The fact no-one has suggested this already upsets me

>INSPIRED by yesterday's events
What happened yesterday?

>>54542910
Someone posted a thread with the Castle card and suggested people post cards to make a fun casual deck around it. That eventually spiraled out into duel decks and then others for a four player commander thing.

>>54542910
I think it's the castle themed duel decks.

Alright, you've got plenty of good cards here... but what are you going to use to cast them with? I'll include Sol Ring and the three signets for each deck if I feel we need it, and Command Tower will automatically be included in both, but... what about Mana Ramp?
