How do you decide to buy/build a deck?
I am still new to commander and trying to map out my next 4 decks to explore a variety of budgets, archetypes, and power levels. I am not a deck builder or brewer and will never be, even after my knowledge increases. From my experience with other card games, I enjoy the gameplay, not the deckbuilding aspect of the game.
Right now, I plan to start with the archetype and then test specific lists by renting cards on MTGO before I hit the "buy" button and order singles in paper.
I am curious if anyone has suggestions for narrowing the infinite number of deck lists to arrive at an actual buying decision.
My Decks for reference (didn't follow my current testing process)
- Budget Cascade Battlecruiser - Radha - Salubrious Snail
- Budget +1/+1 and Tokens - Anim Pakal - Arcosa
- Budget Reanimator - Sauron, Lord of the Rings - Suris
I am considering the following:
- Voltron + Artifacts - Chiss-Goria, Forge Tyrant - Hydrax
- Aristocrats - Teysa, Orzhov Scion - Pawkkie
- Control - Kros, Defense Contractor - planesproject
- Enchantments - Bello, Bard of the Brambles - Hydrax
