That’s exactly how I feel about it! I just started getting into MTG and bought the Animated Army bloomburrow precon after making a couple wacky modern decks out of the inherited cards I have and it just feels so generic. Like if I took it to a LGS I could very likely run into someone with the exact same deck and that isn’t quite as fun as something very uniquely you yah know?

EDHRec has been awesome to find some cheap spells though and I definitely spent too much time at work looking through other folks decks lol. But at least with being able to go through other folks decks I’m able to find some cheap(er) cards that definitely can have some use, and that’s really what I was looking for!

I was thinking keeping Gandalf as the commander would work great for the spell splitting property, but also using [[Stormsplitter]] to double dip more or less and just replace some of the red spells with lower cost instant casts. Again the card draw is still an issue but hopefully the suggested cards above help out!

These are awesome! I’ll have to take a good look at EDHRec, I don’t know how I never found that website. I’ve pretty much been exclusively using Moxfield and just searching cards there which has been painful to say the least. Thanks for the input!

Oh damn, I was under the impression that damage done by a commander abilities counted as commander damage. That definitely lowers the viability of this deck. Bummer!

Just built my own frog deck on mtga and having a lot of fun with it. This deck is also fairly cheap if you get rid of the super expensive lands tossed in there. While definitely useful, it’s absolutely doable with basic lands.

Different strokes for different folks! My partner and I have probably 300 hours between 5 different runs of multiplayer together, and it’s our jam for sure. What sort of issues have you been running into? (Aside from the lost saves of course)
