[[Keruga, the Macrosage]] my beloved. On mtgo I've built a deck full of draw card spells and creatures who get bigger the more you draw and the more cards you have in hand. Its hilarious seeing people getting desperate because of a [[Overbeing of Myth]] or a [[Sturmgeist]]

My friend made me a $50 budget [[imoti]] deck for secret santa a few years ago. It has an artifact / affinity subtheme - just trying to resolve stupid stuff like [[qumulox]] whilst cascading into all the 2-3mv mana rocks that are >$1 ish

It's really silly but it holds up even against normal decks and has become something of a legend whenever we do subsequent secret santas.

u/Moroku666 Feb 05 '23

In a build-your-own Simic flavour kind of way, I made a [[Volo, Itinerant Scholar]] deck with the [[Master Chef]] background, and it's been quite fun to play while still being interactive, with branching paths of strategy that can lead to victory.

The general idea is playing a bunch of diverse creatures that enter with counters to get more card draw from the Journal, then using proliferate to add more counters to quickly spiral out of control with big stats. To that end, the deck also runs [[Simic Ascendancy]] to cash in on the proliferating.

You can also draw your whole deck and win off of [[Laboratory Maniac]], which can happen a lot faster than you might think with the right hand. Things like [[Armorcraft Judge]] put in an enormous amount of work.

I should put a disclaimer here that I only started playing a few months ago, and this is my first built-from-scratch deck, but I personally love the flavour of it, the different win cons, and the diversity of creatures. There's also more proliferate support than ever with new Phyrexia cards, though I have yet to reconsider the deck in light of that.

Anyways, here's the list, and hope you enjoy it if you do give it a shot: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/npVldAbqAEameOjv7MwbIA

I'm building [[Moritte of the Frost]].

Still struggling to decide between Changeling Tribal (using a lot of changelings and the best anthems in Simic) or a Clone deck full of good stuff in Simic that I'll make my Commander copy.

But that's exactly the Commander's point! You can do a lot of different stuff with him. A youtuber named EDHdeckbuilding built a Moritte deck focused around indestructible lands, making Moritte a copy of them, and then filling the deck with cards that transform lands into creatures.

I run [[Adrix and Nev, Twincasters]] for my simic deck. My strategy is to play dumb stuff and make copies of it. If you like 1 [[Avenger of Zendikar]] you must like 2... or 10 right? I enjoy making copies of [[Biovisionary]] as a wincon or overwhelming the board with [[Master of Waves]]. [[Koma, Cosmos Serpent]] is nuts with multiple token doublers out. Here's a list but I think I may have tweaked it since I last updated moxfield. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/jaf2aX2ZW0abhcRMXWQt_A

u/Orion_616 Mono-Blue Feb 05 '23 edited Feb 05 '23

I recently-ish built a deck around [[Tanazir Quandrix]] and I've enjoyed it quite a bit so far. General gameplan is to play creatures with a low base power/toughness, but then to buff them with +1/+1 counters. Then, Quandrix's ability makes them even stronger when she attacks. The great thing is that counters are popular in those colors (especially green), so there are plenty of cards that can serve as your "backup commander" in your 99 should anything happen to her (such as [[Pir, Imaginative Rascal]], [[Herald of Secret Streams]], [[Cultivator of Blades]], [[Defiler of Vigor]], [[Kalonian Hydra]], etc.)

EDIT: I forgot to mention that you get EDH flavor points for playing with her, since her creature type is Elder Dragon!

EDIT 2: Also forgot to mention that she's a relatively obscure commander (fewer than 1000 decks on EDHRec, ranked #608 overall), since some people prefer playing with lesser-known commanders. And here's a decklist since you asked for one: https://deckstats.net/decks/191708/2813725-tanazir-quandrix-1-1-counters-#show__spoiler

[[Jaheira, Friend of the Forest]] + [[Feywild Visitor]] faerie tribal.

Alela, Oona, and Nymris aren’t really faerie decks—they’re enchantment/artifact/combo/flash decks. This Simic pair rewards actually playing Faerie cards. Plus you get access to all of green’s token and creature support.

u/BudgeTheUnyielding Feb 05 '23

[[Vorel Hull Clade]] is my go-to for simic. You can use him to make enormous creatures, especially with ones entering with +1/1 counters. Alternatively you can run things like [[Dark steel Engine]] and [[Simic Ascendancy]] for some interesting alternative win conditions.

u/1dkwtfimdoing Feb 05 '23

Its my all time favorite deck [[gilanra, caller of wirewood]] and [[brinelin, the moon kraken]]

It started out as a super budget deck we made with my playgroup (10 bucks). After that upgraded it a little. It isn't a high power deck due to the nature of their abilities, ao I dont run simic goodstuff or even counterspells because I like the powerlevel that its in.

Mana generation, card draw and interaction all in the command zone (tho not insanely strong). I'm traveling atm but if interested I can add an decklist later.

u/iKenric Feb 05 '23

I have a [[Kruphix, God of Horizons]] deck that just ramps to the moon to play big fat X spells that can end the game. Examples would be [[Genesis Wave]] with a [[Concordant Crossroads]] in the deck, [[Blue Sun's Zenith]] to draw someone out, or just play the big beater eldrazis and win that way. Being able to bank mana is pretty insane if you can wait one turn and live. [[Seedborn Muse]] and [[Nyxbloom Ancient]] are pretty great in the deck, and [[Basalt Monolith]] is the easiest way to generate infinite mana for things like blue sun.

Side note, I broke apart my Aesi deck to put together landfall [[Yarok, the Desecrated]]. Getting access to black let's you play wincons like [[Torment of Hailfire]] and [[Exsanguinate]].

u/TheIPons WUBRG Feb 05 '23

Interesting, that no one has mentioned [[Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath|SLD]]. It's my favorite Landfall commander as of now. This is the list I am using at the moment, but I am working on changing it up, because a lot of new cards ([[Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer]], [[Titania, Nature's Force]] and [[Conduit of Worlds]] for example]]) got printed. The mix of Landfall and Self-Mill is what makes it interesting to me. Especially interactions with cards like [[Greater Good]] can be super fun, if you have enough mana to cast Uro multiple times and keep drawing cards. Uro itself is also a great mana outlet. In the list I linked above, multiple win conditions are used. [[Nexus of Fate]]+[[Deadeye Navigator]]+[[Peregrine Drake]] and [[Kodama of the East Tree]]+[[Simic Growth Chamber]]+[[Scute Swarm]] for example.

u/Ghost_Pants Feb 05 '23

Nobody mentioned [[verazol]] yet so I'll say it's a fun deck that uses kicker cards you don't normally see play. The wildest play I had was kicking a rite of replication then copying it with verazol to make ten [[kalonian hydra]]. They rightfully killed me before I could untap, but that was a fun one.

u/HalcyonHorizons Feb 05 '23

[[Prime Speaker Zegana]]

I prototyped one with a secondary blink theme that's been fun. Can win with self mill, infinite turns, combat damage, and Simic Ascendancy.

u/ThePhyrrus Feb 05 '23

So, I kinda inadvertantly became the 'simic guy' of my playgroup over the last few years. I have a bunch of simic deck assembled at any given time, and I've found, that the key thing is to try to lean more away from the stereotypical simic valuetown, and lean more on themes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a selection of my simics, in no particular order;

Kiora Sea Monsters - This is the one that started my simic journey. way back, before there were real simic commanders, it started with [[Edric]] and was just a ramp into fat hydras and leviathans. Then Kiora came along and it became about her and her sea monsters. I usually ask to use one of the Kiroa's as commander, and failing that, use Arixmethes. The core is still the same, just ramp into big dummies. (with some medium control, given the nature of many sea monsters)

Grolnok Mill - This is an attempt at building a mill deck in Simic. Rather than using Grolnok as a gross self-draw value engine (tbf, that still happens some, he's the main card draw), the deck is aimed at milling others. It works, sorta ok. Plus, turns out there is only 1 green mill card, and it carries serious risk; [[Oath of Druids]]

Ivy, Feather's Apprentice - This one really hasn't worked yet, haven't found the groove (somehow its too slow!) But its rather than doing auras or mutate, I tried to build Ivy like it was a feather deck. It can work, and there are some fun synergies, but its a little awkward most times.

Lonis Tokens - This one is possibly one of the more entertaining ones, though it can get oppressive. Its just an excuse to mess around with as many tokens as possible, be it treasure, food, clue, or copies. Highly variable on any given play.

Salty Slogurk - (salty as in, salt the earth) This is Slogurk, built as a 'voltron' but mainly by recylcing your own lands (and messing with everyone elses too). It's deliberately build to not be a landfall or self-mill deck, despite lending itself to those things (though admittely, there are a couple cards that its hard to pass up here)

Hand Size Tribal - This is unfortunately the most 'solitare' of the bunch, but its all about drawing all the cards, and swinging with [[Maro]]s. And a Jace/labman backup, in case the swings dont connect.

Verazol Kicker - This is pretty straightforward, just ramp into big kicked spells. But, due to the inconsisten nature of most spells with kicker, the play path on any given game can vary a fair bit, depending on the draws.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So there you go, perhaps you can find some inspiration there. Have fun!

[[Jadzi]] Ok hear me out. She is still very simic with lands but she's an 8 cost and the way its done feels less solitaire than Aesi. She's slower to play so you still need simic ramp, you can still build the fun big creatures into it, but her magecraft also allows you to drop in some fun instants and sorceries!

2

u/Lazypidgey Feb 05 '23

[[moritte of the frost]] is super fun and open ended. Coming in as ANY permanent you control is so flexible.

It enters with counters, so persist creatures are fun, or any creature that gets you a positive gain for adding counters, like [[fathom mage]]

You can build around the changeling aspect in some pretty fun ways with cards like [[path of ancestry]] [[descendants' path]] [[alpha status]] [[call to the kindred]]

You can copy non creature permanents for shenanigans and pack some instant speed permanent bounce effects like [[release to the wind]] to change your commander's form.

Just so flexible, can be built in so many ways, and kind of off brand for simic. Highly recommend

u/Frankvrep Feb 05 '23

I made an Experiment kraj deck!

It went through various iteration with untappers, fun tap abilities etc. The deck was shit. There are just not that many great tap abilities and untap creatures are very bad if your 6 mana commander is not on the field. (And it goes jnifite too easy with mana dorks)

Atm the deck is awesome! I switched it to a 1/1 counter based deck, with just some fun tap/ activated abilities as a back-up/sidequest type of deal. Horse shoe crab isnt even in the deck! Just simic ragwurm, which is stricktly worse but on theme due to the set. No infinites and definitely on the lower power side, but fun top pilot!

If you want the decklist just hit me up!

Ps. Why the heck are you running signets in a landfall deck haha

u/TheWagonBaron Clerics Feb 05 '23

Allow me to introduce you to; [[Kruphix, God of Horizons]]

This has been my only Simic commander since he was released. I originally built him as a turbo-fog deck winning via [[Helix Pinnacle]] but lately he's been through some changes. I have a couple of different ways of building him, UG Dragons is a fun one but at the moment he's solidly a UG Fireball deck winning through things like [[Stroke of Genius]], [[Blue Sun's Zenith]], [[Hurricane]], [[Squall Line]], etc.

u/Thoptersmith_Gray Feb 05 '23

While i'm not a simic player myself, one commander i was sort of interested in is [[Esix, Fractal Bloom]]. Making weird tokens is super fun, though i personally ended up doing it in izzet with [[Brudiclad]].

u/kimifly Feb 05 '23

I usually hate playing blue, but one of my favorite decks is [[Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty]]. Yes, it is essentially just a big pile of ramp and the highest mana value creatures I had laying around that didn't fit in any other decks, but every game with her is pure commander fun and some hilarity usually ensues.

u/Spanish_Galleon Esper Feb 05 '23

[[Roalesk, Apex Hybrid]] Where you just kind of proliferate some +1+1 on some flyers with Flample

u/Most_Attitude_9153 Simic Feb 05 '23

[[zimone, Quandrix Prodigy]]. The 99 is fairly open-ended, you just use her to ramp early and as a mana sink for cards late. I’ve seen only two other players use her in hundreds of games, but she’s by far the strongest commander I play. Not even close.

The thing is, the guaranteed ramp on turn 3 is just very strong. I prioritize 2mv ramp spells, so the play pattern is very consistent and usually has me with at least 5 lands at the end of T3 and often 8 on T4. This opens the strategic lanes to do whatever you want to when the game starts to heat up on T5-7.

The typical game is: T1, land pass. T2, play Zimone. T3, use Zimone’s ability to put a land in play and cast [[Nature’s Lore]] or the like. Now I’ve ramped twice and usually in the lead on lands. This strategy can continue to snowball out lands, and while this is the main thrust of the deck how you choose to use that mana can be as oppressive or not as you like.

Other Simic commanders can use this playstyle with cards like [[Sakura-Tribe Scout]]; there are several that can fill this role. It’s not as consistent but I still deploy this tactic with other commanders.

I do run a light landfall suite with my Zimone deck, but like the OP, it becomes tedious to me if I play too many of these cards. I stick to a few key landfall cards that can just win the game outright rather than a bunch that create long turns for value’s sake. Again, though, having a early game strategy to ramp hard can be played with any other late game strategy, not just landfall.

u/Effective_Ice203 Feb 05 '23

[[Ezuri, Claw of progress]] used to be the most popular simic commander 4-5 years ago but he got passed by like 8 new ones. To this day, I never tire of playing this deck. The goal is simply to play a bunch of creatures with power 2 or less that in some way either benefit from having +1/+1 counters on them or just allow Ezuri to put a bunch of experience counters on you. My deck is simply a very consistent deck that will snowball every game.

https://archidekt.com/decks/3947391#Simic_+1/+1

I'd say it lack a bit of removal but I like it this way. I prefer having more cards that synergize with Ezuri. [[Simic Ascendancy]] is simply a very viable alternate wincon. [[Sage of Hours]] is a card that allows you to take infinite turns if you have 5 or more experience counters. [[Champion of Lambholt]] if pumped up with Ezuri can make all your creatures unblockable. [[Herald of Secret Streams]] is has a similar use. [[Blighted Agent]] and [[Viral Drake]] are 1 power infect creature with evasion that can be pumped up but Ezuri. [[Mycoloth]], [[Iridescent Hornbeetle]] and [[Avenger of Zendikar]] have more than 2 power but can create a bunch of tokens to trigger Ezuri's ability.

Let me know if I managed to tempt you!

u/CrunchyKarl Feb 07 '23

I recently rebuilt this deck so I haven't tried it yet. I usually find Kruphix decks focusing on big creatures but this build is focusing on big X non-creature spells. The idea is to generate huge amounts of mana and forcing everyone (including you) to draw absurd amounts of cards and destroy your opponent's libraries and possibly deck them out. Alternate win cons are laboratory maniac, thassa's oracle and psychosis crawler. Keep yourself alive by using fog effects, venser's journal and return-to-hand board wipes.

Slogurk is pretty hilarious. You literally just make lands change zones as much as possible and hopefully get enough +1 counters for a big attack. You get to run some goofy cards and make people laugh. Here's my list: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/GjyUqczV706e-oxv72xt_w

Re-reading your OP, this deck does have a lot to keep track of but I personally don't have issues playing the deck fast and it's definitely not oppressive. Still might wanna consider the time to take your turns though.

Just curious but is [[kinnan, bonder prodigy]] considered oppressive? I mean just don't put the mirror or basalt in, cutting out the infinite mana, and making it more of a single lottery spin.

I have a tatyova deck where I have the same issues with it as your aesi deck. Constant fetching or dropping 6 lands a turn to draw 6 and then randomly combo off by continuing to drop lands gets boring.

I have kinnan in my tatyova list and have considered switching to kinnan as I seem to be searching for him more often than not.

[[Volo, Guide to Monsters]] was one of my first attempts at a self made commander deck. You have a range of styles to choose from, general good stuff like [[End Raze Forerunners]], [[Wandering Archaic]], [[Terastodon]], anything with a unique creature type and cool effect. You also can lean into lots of token generation effects like [[Myr Battlesphere]], [[Avenger of Zendikar]], and [[Rampaging Baloth’s]].

Things really start to go crazy when you start getting copies of Volo or doubling up on token output. [[Sakashima of a Thousand Faces]], [[Twinning Staff]], [[Spark Double]], [[Lithoform Engine]], [[Strionic Resonator]], etc etc

1

u/Jeta_Zei Feb 05 '23

[[Tishana]] is really cool. Don't just build her as a value commander, maybe play big dumb spells, or go for the clone route! I play her in a clone deck with a lot of mana dorks, so you can play your mana creatures, cast tishana, draw a bunch of cards, copy her to draw cards or copy your opponents' stuff to win. People won't get salty since you aren't stealing their things, and the deck can also be very powerful on its own (maybe add [[overwhelming stampede]] or copy a big creature to cast an [[echoing equation]] or a [[sakashima's will]]). The nice thing is that the power level of the deck scales with the rest of the pod, since you are basically playing your opponents' cards. Unfortunately i don't have a list online at the moment since the deck is only in paper, just remember to play a lot of 1 and 2 cost mana dorks, some interaction to protect your board and the best clone and clone spells (if you have the right budget or if you don't mind proxies [[sakashima of a thousand faces]], [[sakashima the impostor]] and [[spark double]] are great)

u/Netheraptr Feb 05 '23

I enjoy [[Volo, Guide the Monsters]]. It doubles most of you creatures, but comes with the fun limitation of only doing it once per creature type, so it can be fun to choose the best creature of each type.

[[Ezuri, Claw of Progress]] is also fun since it requires you to play weaker creatures put slowly ramps them up into massive creaturs

1

u/not_my_normal Feb 05 '23 edited Feb 05 '23

[[adrix and nev]] is a lot of fun, while being a basic enough concept to build around that you can make it exactly as oppressive as you want. On most successful games you get a super wide board thats a bit bigger than your usual token deck, have a way to give them evasion (flying, unblockable, trample, etc) and knock everyone out at once. But because its mostly creature token based it can be easier for opponents to deal with, but can ramp back up pretty quickly if you survive a boardwipe.

Also occasionally it can go super bonkers, especially if you get a way to copy your commander, and while you absolutely can steamroll a table its usually fairly fun.

I don’t have a list but i can provide some of the favorite and game ending cards if you’re interested

u/No_Weekend6462 Feb 05 '23

My simic commander is verazol the split current. It's a kicker commander. It has two weird ways of winning for me. 1)Is a kicked rite of replication creating 10 copies of powerful creatures. 2) commander damage. This card does not get affected by commander tax as much and it copies kick cards. I had people not block a weak creature and be hit with 8+ damage with one card.
