Labyrinth Raptor (new card from Ikoria) benefits creatures with menace. Are there any other cards that benefit creatures with menace? I'm thinking about building a deck around that mechanic.
I split this up by function rather than card type. At the bottom, I'll include a bunch of other ETB creatures I considered but didn't go with - either for practical reasons, affordability or personal flavor preference. Note that Elemental Bond can get out of control here - you don't want to mill yourself! Please let me know if you have any advice.
Unplayed Conjurer's ETB deck (I need a catchy name - something about tokens?)
I’m talking about cutting Saskia the Unyielding; Gisela, Blade of Goldnight; and Odric, Master Tactician. So just running the Blade and the Hydra with populate mixed in. It would probably be a white and green deck.
It seems like combining Myriad with Populate is more feasible. Populating the Hydra Omnivore token, for example, could be brutal. Got any favorite cards that would
complement those mechanics?
You aren’t wrong, but in this anything-goes format we play, the decks get pretty aggressive. I appreciate you replying to this. And yeah, any additional concrete advice you’ve got, I’ll take it.
But there wasn't anything else to the deck. I'm interested in putting this together, but don't know where to start. I do know I'll need to produce a number of colors of mana and possibly cheat out the cards above with the highest CMC. Any suggestions? The group I play with allows ANY cards that aren't silver-bordered.
Somewhere along the edge of my mind is a casual Undying deck (anything goes except silver border) that involves creatures with undying, Talon of Pain, Marchesa, the Black Rose and Warstorm Surge. But I can't figure it out. And in a way where it would win more than it loses, a.k.a. perform well. Any advice?
I made a deck specifically for playing multiplayer, but I feel like there's room for improvement. We play with any cards, as long as they aren't silver-bordered. I'm already thinking I need to replace some nonbasic lands with basic lands. Worth noting, I put in Kaya, Bane of the Dead so I could exile a creature if need be.

Purphoros, God of the Forge would also serve this deck well.
What should be more consistent?
