How The Most Dangerous Gamer decks play in EDH

The Most Dangerous Gamer is a Golgari commander in black and green costing 2BG, and its legendary creature - human gamer guest line shapes the whole deck around it. It cares about +1/+1 counters, so counter-doubling effects and creatures that grow on their own carry the deck. The card rewards attacking, so the deck is built to keep creatures pointed at opponents rather than sitting back. The cards below are the ones The Most Dangerous Gamer decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.

The Most Dangerous Gamer deck questions

What colours can I use in a The Most Dangerous Gamer deck?

The Most Dangerous Gamer has a Golgari colour identity, so every card in the deck must be black and green or colourless. That includes mana symbols in rules text, not just casting cost.

What are the best cards for The Most Dangerous Gamer?

The cards played most often in The Most Dangerous Gamer decks include My Precious // Allure of Power, Quarrel, Mirkwood. The full list of staples above is grouped by the job each card does, so you can see the deck's skeleton rather than just a pile of names.

How much does a The Most Dangerous Gamer deck cost?

The 20 most-played cards shown above come to roughly $7.22 at current market prices. A complete 100-card build costs more, and Grimoire can generate a budget version instead if you set a price ceiling.

Yes. Import your collection into Grimoire and choose "my cards" when you build. The generator will only use cards you actually own, and the Missing Cards page shows what you would need to buy to finish any list.
