Is this an all-time list?

rachelweeks.bsky.social•35 days ago

These are all the ones I built in paper that I still have lists for or remember. It is very possible there are more.

edhlove.bsky.social•35 days ago

That is quite alot 😅 How many Decks do you have in Paper ready to play?

rachelweeks.bsky.social•35 days ago

24 (plus 6 LOTR decks), lol

shadylikeatree.bsky.social•35 days ago

You've killed more decks than I've built. I bet it's awesome playing so many different decks.

rockerman.bsky.social•35 days ago

As a haver of Selesnya Katilda, any reason for taking it apart? If its vibe, I get that. It's a weird flux deck.

rachelweeks.bsky.social•35 days ago

The way I had built it was GRINDY. Gained a lot of life, recurred a lot of protection pieces, slow to close the game out. I just didn't need another deck like that.

rockerman.bsky.social•35 days ago

Oh, you took it in a wildly different direction than I did! I liked the aspect of "powerful humans can also ramp" and made some funky creature picks from there. Turn 4 Avacyn intoElish Norn
But I get where you're coming from.

Lord Windgrace is my pet deck. My heart hurts.

rachelweeks.bsky.social•35 days ago

I LOVE him. He's one of my oldest commanders. I just can't settle on a build that's appropriate for my playgroup and still fun to play.

mxplusb.bsky.social•35 days ago

Fair. He was my first commander and it’s just always a deck I like to tweak and build over time. This was turn 4 or 5 lol.

mavmagoo.bsky.social•34 days ago

Are there any commonalities between these decks that you find as being the reason you've parted them out? Are there some strategies you keep trying but finding no luck with?

spectrasean.bsky.social•35 days ago

Eloise solves a murder may be going away? RIP. That deck seems super cool.

rachelweeks.bsky.social•35 days ago

I just never play it. Aristocrat style decks really aren't my thing so I never reach for it.

spectrasean.bsky.social•35 days ago

I get it. It's a cool list, I hope at least that gets saved.

rachelweeks.bsky.social•35 days ago

Lists live on forever!

maxluellwitz.bsky.social•35 days ago

For Ayara, I’m assuming First of Locthwain? Any particular reason that deck got the axe?

rachelweeks.bsky.social•35 days ago

That's the one. I STRUGGLED to find a mono-black deck I liked. Nadier/Tevesh was the original draft. It was durdly and folks hated Tevesh. I switched to Ayara to cut down on turn time. Then she felt too repetitive, too on-rails. I eventually scrapped aristocrats and built reanimator with Blex.

What did non-CEDH Orvar do to deserve this? (Asking for my non-CEDH Orvar)

rachelweeks.bsky.social•35 days ago

He was far too powerful for the average table I played at. Never got to play him. On top of that, my turns took forever and often ended with an infinite combo. I loved the games I got with him, but I stopped playing him casually pretty fast.

Rebuilt him for cEDH and ultimately didn't love it.

cuboidpig.bsky.social•35 days ago

That makes perfect sense. I am trying to find a way to power him down so I can keep him going, but I haven't figured it out yet!

rachelweeks.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yeah. He refuses to chill.
