Hey nerds! In this video, I wanted to share a general deck-building guide I use when brewing up new decks for the channel. This isn't the end-all-be-all guide, but I think it's a great starting point for all decks. Deck building is an iterative process, it takes time and is difficult. So just keep at it!

- Deck Building Template -
50 sources of mana; this includes lands, mana rocks, mana dorks, and MDFCs that have lands on the back.

9-12 targeted removal spells; basically, anything that can be used to destroy or exile a card I count as removal. Doesn't matter the type of spell so long as it gets rid of a threat, I'm happy.

2-5 board wipes; if I'm playing a creature-heavy deck I tend to stick to the lower side. If I'm a combo or graveyard deck, I'll stick to the higher end.

10-12 card draw spells; these are spells that draw more than one card. Cards like Opt, Consider or Serum Visions generally don't go towards my count.

2 graveyard recursion; these can range from Eternal Witness to Open the Vaults.

0-2 flexible tutors; I've been cutting tutors from decks since variance is part of why I enjoy Commander. But if you love tutoring, then do it.

0-2 graveyard hate; this is more meta-dependent, but if you don't play with a set pod, I'd aim for two pieces of hate generally.

0-1 game-ender; think of Torment of Hailfire or Exsanguinate, all you need is some mana and you can win the game. This might not be your main win condition, but it is good to have a backup. If you find yourself using these types of cards to win too often, you can always cut them.

Also, make sure to join the Discord server! It's a great place to talk to community members, suggest video ideas, and just hang out.
