Hylda of the Icy Crown Build-Your-Own Precon $45 Budget Commander Deck 🛠 "Frozen Fury"

[@joaoleite9250]

For me One of the best cards to have on the deck is a mana rock, and its victory chimes- a 3 CMC mana rock that untap each Turn and can give anyone mana. Since u have many cards that tap a creature each Turn (like Citadel Siege or Timin Youthful Giest) you basically have One free activation off hylda by havine 1 Open mana each turn

[@sera6170]

For an enchantment tutor effect for a budget maybe consider moon-blessed cleric, is also really good especially if you're using Thassa and other blink effects so you can search other enchantments like opposition or citadel siege which is also a free tap effect on every opponent's turn.

[@CommanderMechanic]

Good call on another budget enchantment tutor!

[@110890nick]

I think verity circle is better than rhystic study most of my games.

[@CommanderMechanic]

with Hylda, absolutely!

[@Lootprechaun]

I built my list without the opposition and other free tap outlets. After talking with many people at my LGS, they wanted to see what i could do without some of the more oppressive interactions and I won the first game I ever played with it. It might not be as consistent but it was a lot of fun and reminds me of an old standard deck i had a decade ago lol.

[@MrGeebee1983]

I would add Court Street Denizen and Elvish Mariner to create a token creation engine.

[@FakeDonut]

For me and my playgroup, I found Hylda to be more fun if she doesn't control the board by instant tapping everything that threatens me, but rather make it sorceryspeed or on attack, using the various tap abilites more to tap away blockers while growing my team. It became a pseudo unblockable tokens deck, which fit's my playstyle more, but I think it's difficult to not make her oppressive and controling. But that's always a problem I have with commanders that either remove or benefit from removal. And while tap isn't hardcore removing, in a casual environment it's still annoying enough if your whole deck is built on preventing attacks and politics through threats of tapping. A sorcery speed mass tap in that scenario is more akin to a finisher than a controll option. It doesn't use her potential nearly as much, but is still fidgety enough to give me the feeling of building a synergistic engine.

[@jayjayhooksch1]

Some more decent upgrades would be more untappers like White Plume Adventurer, Virtue of Loyalty and Invasion of Segovia. Not only are they great with the mana dorks and opposition effects but they also allow you to get more aggressive with some of the flyers in the list.

[@bluegumz]

Runnin merfolk wizard tribal with sharae of numbing depths as commander. Its really nasty

[@Murwiz]

Why not include Court Street Denizen? Every Elemental token you make triggers another tap effect!

[@CommanderMechanic]

Ooo great call!

[@derekstoll1282]

I think deep gnome terramancer is a very solid add in almost any deck that doesn’t also run green. Hylda’s engine is very mana-intensive as you’ve pointed out, so being able to just find a plains every time someone fetches or ramps will help out tremendously

[@derekstoll1282]

I also like ashnod’s altar. I haven’t thought much about it, but with opposition out, I’m sure there’s a way to “break” it by using a token to tap something down, then sac it to the altar and keep adding 2 colorless and just keep going until there isn’t anything left to tap down lol

[@red_spect3r833]

It’s possible to run a Search for Glory with the ability to search targets like Sharae of Numbing Depths, Kiora Bests the Sea God, Thassa, Faramir, Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset, etc. Also Moon-Blessed Cleric + Thassa/Teleportation Circle just lets you stack your deck with an enchantment for every turn if you choose to.

[@nathanielhill1412]

For protecting the commder I would put in swift footboots and I think with hokori dust drinker a meekstone

[@ITyraxI]

I want my friends to play with me, so I made my version much less absurdly oppressive.

[@CommanderMechanic]

good call

[@brianco]

nice decklist im just curious how come the moxfield price of the deck is over a hundred dollar . im asking cause my group is planning to have a budget edh game and we wana know how much the optimal price for a precon level deck is. maybe $45 is too low to make a decent deck and we have to do a $100 one instead. thanks

[@CommanderMechanic]

Card Kingdom low, the Moxfield display is $46!

[@eightballprime420]

I built mine with a +1/+1 counter sub-theme with Lux Artillery, Lae’zel, and the Abzan Falconer and Battle Priest

[@CommanderMechanic]

I love Lux Artillery

[@brandonherrington7080]

its 131 and change now lol

[@CommanderMechanic]

price spikes will do that 😥

[@brandonherrington7080]

@@CommanderMechanic always just makes me chuckle,still very reasonable for a solid deck. Im about to see what i have that you list

[@owl_on_caffeine1416]

I'm debating between building Hylda or just sticking with Derevi with a tap down theme. This video gave me some ideas.

[@joyboyhoy]

please make a brenard ginger sculptor decklist!!

[@CommanderMechanic]

I’ll add it to the list 😉

[@johnsato6109]

Nice! Will you also do one for Kellan? 🙏🙏🙏

[@CommanderMechanic]

Maybe, he's on the list!

[@Digihubtcg]

Rystic study and smothering tithe are great in this deck

[@kirkwright8954]

They’re great in any deck that can run them. But definitely not budget friendly.

[@diegoescalante97]

They’re also the price of the deck

[@ITyraxI]

Holy smokes Sherlock is in the house folks.
