Need Some Outside Thoughts Regarding My Decks
Hi! I just recently completed building a list of my decks that are in one of each color combination and I would like to get some thoughts regarding the balance of each one. I was planning to make a collection that kind of balances each other out while building a Commander I like from each color combination.
- I want to Balance out each deck so that they wouldn't overpower any set of 4.
- Each deck was originally planned to be $100 or less but since prices have gone up after I came back to it, I decided to have them around $100-200 Limit instead; with some of them going a bit above the $200 limit. Any changes on them should only make the deck cheaper and any improvements to them should not go beyond the limit.
- And with the addition of the Commander Brackets, I want them to be at Bracket 2-3 or less, preferably exactly at Bracket 2. I currently placed them at Bracket 3, so I would also like to know what bracket they actually are.
Currently, I have this as my collection in Moxfield. Each one is catered to my whimsy and/or the mechanics I want to try to build with on that color. These are the following decks I have for each color and their theme:
| Commanders | Theme |

| Colorless [[Karn, Legacy Reforged]], [[Super-Adaptoid]], [[Krang, Utrom Warlord]] | Artifacts deck that, depending on how you want to play, either aggro or control, you can swap commanders. |
| Mono White [[Yosei, the Morning Star]] | Stax heavy deck that maximizes itself using its mini spirits tribe. |
| Mono Blue [[Orvar, the All-Form]] | Combo heavy deck. Win by cloning or copying your cards. |
| Mono Black [[Horobi, Death's Wail]] | Group slug deck that wins with its crime subtheme. |
| Mono Red [[Norin the Wary]] | Stalls the game with its chaos effects and tries to win using burn. |
| Mono Green [[Questing Beast]] | Mono green stompy that leverages combat tricks with fogs and damage prevention. |
