Introduction

Welcome to the Magic 2015 - Master Deck List. This is the place to find completed decks from some of the best builders on NGA. It is organized in two ways, first by builder, and then by color. I will be curating this list, and will work to keep it updated as often as possible. In order to have your decks added to this list, please post them bellow, and I will add them into their appropriate categories. Please do not post deck lists here, but rather within the right color in the Deck List Subforum, and then link to them in a reply to this thread using the format described below. Please try to use the deck planner as it looks best, and is easiest to read (if you can't, please at least use the autocard feature). Please try to limit your posts to decks that are already tested, and make sure to read the ranking descriptions before posting your deck ranks. If you are looking to get feedback on new ideas, this is not the place. If, however, you have builds that are tested, and successful (or at least fun), post them here.

Links for submission should be formatted as follows: colors link (description) #starsranking: name of builder
ex: Raging Wilds (Aggro: Pump inconspicuous looking creatures for alpha strike wins.) ★★: djAMPnz

Rankings and Organization


Useful Instructions


This is the replacement to the original deck list, which can be found here: Deck Builder's Consortium

Much of this text (above) and the ideas behind this thread came originally from djAMPnz.

By Ranking


By Builder (Alphabetically)

By Color

Mono-Color Decklists


Dual-Color Decklists


Tri-Color Decklists


Multi-Color Decklists (4 or 5 color)

Thanks for doing this DJ

Rabble Red (Aggro: Very fast aggressive deck, aims to win before turn 5) ***

Total Control (Control: uses removal and counter spells to stop everything your opponent does) - in collaboration with Hakeem ***

Jalira Control (Combo, Control: uses Jalira as card advantage to abuse satyr wayfinder and archaeomancer, also has an infinite turns combo) **

Boris Tokens (Aggro: Very fast token deck that plays all the powerful cards red and white has to offer) ***

Warp World (Combo: an infinite combo deck that will leave your opponent with no permanents) *

UW Artifacts (Midrange: uses the powerful artifact cards available in white and blue. In particular the combination of courier's capsule, sanctum gargoyle and esperzoa can easily overwhelm your opponent with card advantage) **

Instead of adding every deck I have posted I have added the unique ones or the most powerful, I can dig up the rest if people want.

Stick with unique or powerful. thanks!

Edit: (do you mind editing and adding a short description?)

i have nothing to contribute

I would add the one deck I made that dies kinda well but I feel like eon's version of the same deck was better then mine. maybe I'll get serious about building when orgins comes out and every possible deck hasn't been made already

Make a discard deck. It's the only one that I feel is viable that doesn't have a concrete list.

I've already done it. ;-P

I haven't lost with it yet - although that is clearly luck, it's a lot of fun, and completely demoralizing to the opponent.

Btw, Please check and make sure your usernames are still correct, and complete. For example, some of you play on multiple platforms, please let me know if this information needs to be updated. For now, I'm just grabbing the info from the old thread.

DJ, one thing I would find really useful is for the master deckbuilders to identify which of their decks they consider the best. If they know that one (or more) of their decks are God tier too, they could mention that.

I find that really useful since they have so much experience in playing the decks that they know what tends to run over stuff.

I'll ask in the main-board thread, and see what people think. I don't mind implementing it at all, it's not even an extra step so far as I'm concerned.

It's mostly because the finished product will have a TON of deck lists and it'll be tough to decipher which are the fun ones (Hakeem's Dimir), which are the God ones (Legend's Izzet or Jund decks), and which are the terrible ones (any Beast deck, kidding)

If deckbuilders can talk honestly about their builds, it gives a good indication of which builds to use if you want something fun, something to run people over with, or something gimmicky that can be cool if you pull it off

Like I can't speak for Monk but his decks would be something like:

Total Control - my most powerful deck in this meta = tier 1
Rabble Red - most explosive, capable of winning fast, but inconsistent and fragile - tier 1
Boros Tokens - probably the best archtype in this meta - tier 1
Warp World - a gimmick deck, fun. - tier 3
Jalira - infinite turn combo. Good for causing rage-quitters - tier 3
UW artifacts - new and fresh - tier ...2?

That echoes the rating system I'd propose actually.
***: Top-Tier Spike
**: Can Go Off Like Crazy, but not perfectly consistent
*: For fun, but lots of fun

I could even make a rating list right at the top to make them easiest to find. That way people can search quickly by rating (e.g.: kind of deck they want to play), builder (e.g.: whose deck they want to play), or color (e.g.: colors they want to build with).

propose.

But yeah, i totally agree that's a perfect idea.

Izzet and Rabble Red are **
Total Control, Boros Tokens and Jund Midrange are ***
The rest of Monk's builds are *?

I probably agree, but I'd prefer to let him have the only vote on the subject.

Edit: although if Izzet Burn isn't *** I'm living in bizarro world. I had that deck in mind, before young pyromancer was even a thing, all the way back when Stevo and I started theory crafting prior to release.

i agree completely. I was just showing how ratings could work but yeah Monk should be the only one classifying his decks.

All my decks are tier 16, by the way

Yeah, you're right. Izzet has to be tier 1. It can win out of nowhere. I just find it to be inconsistent. If I don't draw into Fiend, Pyro, Gutterprofessorsnape or even Talrand, you're going to die fast.

I'd say, the only build that's good enough is my good old Selesnya ramp deck.

Selesnya Ramp (Midrange/TIMMY : Gain life, draw cards, ramp to huge creatures. Overwhelm the opponent)

I can't use the deckbuilder right now, if someone was kind enough to recreate the deck using the deckbuilder and link it in the thread, I'll be very happy

Platform: Steam
Ign: DaRkStAr

Boros BombWhacker (Aggro: A lot of small creatures and tokens, getting boosted with Goblin Bushwhacker and Coordinated Assault, or doing direct damage with Raid Bombardment.) ***
Izzet Draw (Aggro: Pretty much standard Aggro Izzet, but with Chasm Skulker and a lot of card draw) ***
Rakdos Sac&Steal (Combo: Steal the opponents creatures and sacrifice them to boost your creatures.) *

Esper Artifact with Cloudshift (Midrange: Standard Artifacts with a lot of ETB effects and Cloudshift.) **

why use * when you can use ★?
