There are a few old black creatures that can ramp.
Theres blood pet, and there's a black sliver and two witches. All of them are pretty old cards.
One of the witches might not be legal in modern.
Using them as either blockers or ramp may be a way to help the deck, but more lands might be more foolproof.

Theres bontu's last Reckoning and damnation that might also be able to replace some darkness.

In old mill designs they usually had 2 damnation and 2 darkness in the sideboard and 2-3 ensnaring bridge in mainboard.

Because of lurrus in mill, most millers are abandoning ensnaring bridge, so it might be cheap at the moment.

The key is probably to seek out the commanders first, then think of the themes possible, but a few might do the reverse :)

With the mindstones you have 22 mana sources, but to cast any 5 cost asap, you will need at least 25 mana sources.
Holding them back with darkness is an idea, but you will need more to stop the more aggressive designs

Seems decent.
No fetch lands ?

Noxious revival to bring back your creatures, and add to the spell count :)

Being visible in here these days are hard, there's a troll in here that keeps trolling.
The result is that most decks are quickly ignored, and people wanting to chat often end up talking with the trolls posts without getting an answer.

Since the troll is often trolling just after I post something, I've taught myself to be a lot more visible than others, maybe you can copy some of my 'tech'.

The first tip is to be social.
If noone sees your deck and you don't talk to people, then noone knows how cool you are ;)
(Yeah, I'm definitely stealing from cgb here)

Apart from that I've written up an article with tips
Search again for the decktag: wdm 2018
The article is titled "how to be more visible"

I use tags to become easier to find, and I'm branding myself so that people remember me.
It's aggressive, but it works.

The most ironic thing is that I've become much better at a lot of things because I've been targeted by the troll ;)

Only the first 4 tags are visible, but with my amazing powers of observation, I conclude it's the roku one.
It will pop up if anyone searches for nostalgia, but noone can see it otherwise.

It will need to be one of the first 4 tags if you want to support it :)

I suggest you put one of the evergreens in the back.
Ah, and just saw this post get the tag ,so good morning.

Lol, the halfdeck halfdescription!
Let's hope others doesn't opt for that too. :0

Both builds seem strong, and I like that you are experimenting with the lands.

I love to teach about combo. Combo is perhaps my weakest point compared to my playstyle, so it's great to see a new players glee at beating the creep out of me :)

It is a problem :)
But multicolored commanders can be done to a degree.
The other guy actually tried out something interesting during his attempt.
He made a deck that could support several different commanders.
Each commander would change the overall nature of the deck, while the deck had some mechanics that the deck needed in general.

For example, a third of the deck could focus on draw which would be boosted by one commander, another third of the deck would be about +1/+1 counters which would be boosted by the second commander.
The last third might be ramp and would be supported by the third commander.

Yeah, I don't have arena either.

Mtgvault has a couple of features. One is mass import where you can dump a copy/pasted decklist and then it will become a deck automatically and can be exported. I don't know the exact details, but some other sites might be able to convert it to arena, so it might involve some steps.

So you might create a larger textfile listing all the halflists to transfer into the mass import feature of mtgvault, and it should be easy to copy two chunks of text to do that.

Halfdecks was meant to be a beginners tool.
It's a lot easier to "build a deck" in modules, than having to select all the cards by yourself.

They can print out these decklists we make for them and look at them while building the deck on arena.
The cards I've selected have been announced to be a core arena set always available to new players once they complete the tutorials.

Any old die hard magicplayer that wants to play arena too, but for free, will also have great use of my halves.

The most difficult part of construction is to make sure that a deckhalf is strong enough to stand alone.
It might have a theme, but the deck needs strength.
I'm not that fond of my 5th version which was based on knights as it was sort of the leftovers remaining.

If a half is put together with another half and there is just no synergy, then the deck will perform at a low level.

So far I'm just smashing stuff together at a fast pace, but at some time I will start to fine tune the halves
(When I got 5 in each color) and make sure that every deck has synergy with all of the other decks.

It's a longterm project, but I think it will be fun.

When wotc starts expanding the free core set I'll be upgrading everything.
Who knows, one day I'll see a top player play a combined halfdeck that he saw a newbie play, and upgraded it a little.

It should be recognizable :)

I did try to think of how to make it EDH once, but failed.
Someone else got closer but also failed.
It's a matter of time :)

Yeah, it deserves a second chance :)
Maybe arena is the best platform for it.
In real life, shuffling halves together is pretty easy, but splitting them back into their original setups was a little difficult.

Your "aggressive drawing" would probably play well with my "striketeam" as ping and first strike is usually a good theme.
It's in my white 3&4.

I looked at the legalities and saw they were all red.
Didn't notice it was because you only have 59 cards.

I like the "aggressive drawing" from your other page most with the "poisonous" here.
Combined they bring trampling deathtouchers to the scene and call of the death dweller makes it repeatable.
Any remaining blockers will probably be pinged to death.

Bad timing I guess, you are gone for 4 years, then post a uro-deck when uro is banned in almost all formats.
Such is life...

I've been around in here for four years, and a few days after I build around tibalt's trickery it gets banned.

They've been on a real banning spree this month :)

You got 32 decks, why not show some more of them?
You could start using tags to be seen a lot more.

Search for the decktag: wdm 2018
Click on the deck called "how to be more visible"

This could be tagged EDH.

It's a total of more than 90 decks released.
The first incident coincides with a burst in activity from a lot of new members chatting a lot together.
The second incident coincides with my arena posts and our chat.

Could be a coincidence though :)

My standard response to seing a cluster of old decks is to go through all the pages an like all new decks, that way other people have a higher rate at being seen than the single superposter

I'll be covering all of the other colors too, but this can be done in so many other ways :)
