I made a thread a while ago where I offered to make people decks, and it turned out to be much more popular than I thought it would be. So, Vektor and I duiscussed making a similar thread, but with more people working on decks than just me, so that we could get more done. This is that thread.

The Deckbuilders:

Maraxas
Vektor480
Royk
Mown
Cats_and_Me
Nyktos
Tevish_szat
Mage24365
Chaoslight
Silasw
Theis999
Gtsynthvoice

Deckbuilders are free to work on any deck, including ones that are already being worked on or are finished, and can work together. Basically, whatever gets the decks made goes. We are not accepting new deckbuilders by request, although it is possible we may request for you to become one.

Submitting Criteria:

This is where you come in. To get a deck made, all you need to do is tell us what you want to have made, and we will make it. Mono- control? A deck around your favorite artist? A deck to answer your freinds goblin deck? Something really off-beat? It all goes.

Bring 'em on!

Cool! This sounds perfect for me, I have only been playing for about 3 months and I am still a total newb at building decks . I love to play decks that are fun, and i just like to DO lots of stuff when I play.
As for deck building help, I have some really cool cards that I want to make a deck with, but I don't really know where to start, or my attempts at building said decks have failed miserably, over and over.

For example, I really like Luminarch Ascension   (Yay, Angels!!) but have yet to make a deck that survives long enough to get Angels out on the board. Angels are really one of my favorite creatures, but due to my lack of experience ( I can only assume ), I have had little success with them when I build decks with Angels such as Lightkeeper of Emeria , Serra Angel , Shepherd of the Lost , etc. I have collected a lot of really cool angels, for instance I have Iona, Shield of Emeria , and Admonition Angel , which seem really really cool, but exceed my deck-making abilities. Any ideas or advice will be much appreciated, I really enjoy this game and I want to improve !

Thanks !

Edit edit: I know this generates a lot of hate from my fellow players, but they are big boys and they can take it. Also, they beat me so bad ALL THE TIME that i want a deck that will make them cry MWHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHA >. No, I am not above revenge. One dude exiled one of my plains then exiled ALL of them from my deck and i died a little inside... then i cried.

Okay, so there are a couple possible decks here. The first one I see is a Luminarch Ascension deck.
Luminarch Ascension Show


Luminarch Ascension

4 x Luminarch Ascension
3 x Idyllic Tutor
4 x Holy Day
4 x Angelsong
4 x Dawn Charm
3 x Leyline of Sanctity
4 x Wall of Omens
4 x Angelic Wall
4 x Wall of Glare
3 x Greater Auramancy
23 x Plains

The strategy is simple: stall, maybe tutor for Ascension, cast it, stall, pump out angels for 1W, win. Much of this deck is common and/or recent.

The next deck suggested is angel-based beatdown.

do you ceremonially light your deck on fire after a win?

There are things that prevent you from activating activated abilities, things that increase their cost, and things that counter them, but I don't think anything triggers from them specifically.

There are things that trigger from targeting, so that might be relevant, but I can't think of anything that triggers from targeting a player.

I'm almost positive there's nothing that triggers from damage being prevented.

Dear Deckbuilders...

I have been wanting to get in on the Tribal Wars scene for a while now, and there is going to be a tournament held in my area soon. There is also a prize for the most unique tribe chosen. As such, I have chosen GOATS. However, I cannot quite get my goat deck to function. :< As such, I present to you your challenge!

The first challenge is to ensure that the goat deck does, in fact, remain true to its goatlyness.
Second of all, I am on a tight budget, so please do not use cards more expensive than $3, with the exception of Door of Destinies , as I can simply borrow 4 from a friend.

I am still quite useless at building decks, so I am asking for assistance! This is my initial draft of what I was planning on building.

Lastly, I have to order and pay for the cards by [b]tomorrow, 2 PM GMT +2[/c] at the latest, so I am also on a deadline.

Help me, Deck Builders' Consortium! You're my only hope!

Fishmeister: There really aren't a lot of options here. Your draft looks pretty good, but I do have some advice.

You'll need more than 20 lands, first of all. 24 is probably good, considering you have firebreathing goats and Mirror Entity to use extra mana. Maybe make one or two lands Springjack Pasture s. New Benalia is a little weak, I would get rid of those.

I would also try to maximize Springjack Shepherd by using Glorious Anthem instead of Crown of Fury . You can also replace the Leyline. Keep in mind that you might want some dual lands to cast them with.

Turn to Mist is pretty subpar here, since your deck isn't that focused around Springjack Shepherd. Instead, Lightning Bolt might be just what you need.

Roar of the Crowd probably won't be worth the four mana, I doubt you can get lots of goats quickly enough. If you decide to add Springjack Pasture , an X-burn spell like Fireball would fit right in this slot.

If you don't mind the blow to your theme, Taurean Mauler would be a great addition.

Possible decklist:

Goats Tribal
4 x *Battering Craghorn
3 x *Colos Yearling
4 x *Mirror Entity
3 x *Crested Craghorn
4 x *Mountain Goat
4 x *Springjack Shepherd

2 x *An-Zerrin Ruins
2 x *Glorious Anthem
2 x *Shared Animosity
4 x *Lightning Bolt
2 x *Door of Destinies
2 x *Fireball

4 x *Boros Garrison
3 x *Springjack Pasture
4 x *Terramorphic Expanse
7 x *Mountain
6 x *Plains

I love the idea of pauper decks so I was wondering if you could build me a blue and black pauper deck?

llama_craig: A Mystical Teachings deck is the most obvious choice. A quick Google search brought me this article. If you want something more creative, then I'm sure someone in this thread can whip something up.
