seshiro_of_the_orochi on Alternative themes/gimmick EDH deck ideas

Ok, a little bit of context: My job is basically a social worker in a youth project. There happen(ed) to be working other MtG-people besides me, and many of our youths/young adults are pretty nerdy, although they mostly play other TCGs. We still established some collections for various TCGs, among others obviously an MtG-one. From that pile of cards I build some janky commander decks, and some of them simply function hilariously at that level, and from playing them few times, the ones I like best:

Arni Brokenbrow:

Theme: "Stronger than you"

The deck basically has lots of pump spells, auras and equipment andput those on...no, not Arni himself, but another creature. This way, Arni's boast makes you benefit from the power-boost twice, once for himsrlf and once for his buddy he wants to be stronger then. The most important keyword for the deck to have is first strike to prevent Arni from dying. It is a really weird to play voltron with unusual, but really fun lines of play.

Eutropia the Twice-Favored:

Theme: "Float like a butterfly, hit like a truck"

Little creatures with value abilities, +1/+1 counter synergy, and enchantress effects to hit hard, fast and evasive. The deck has clear voltron qualities, and Eutropia is a lot more dangerous than she looks. The best wincon for the deck isn't included in that version, but if I wereto build her myself, I'd include Arcanum Wings, Colossification and Eldrazi Conscription. In our games there, this deck becomes archenemy in no time, and as it ramps like hell, re-casting Eutropia five or even sic times is usually not that big of a deal.

I also built Najal, the Storm Runner, but haven't had a chance to see him in action, yet. The deck looks super-fun, though, and as sorceries tend to be pretty bad in most games, you automatically get to play cheap cards and make them more powerful.

My latest deck I built at home a little powered down was Kosei, Penitent Warlord. It has a table-kill potential similar to Heartless Hidetsugu, but looks a lot less frightening.

What do say?

Arni Brokenbrow was pretty good. I like those stories with the viewpoint from a local, everything a character is doing isn't always so big & momentous. I liked Slimefoot, the Stowaway's mini-story on Dominaria, it was great to follow the fungi as he gained sentience on the Weatherlight.

Anyone else read the side story for Arni Brokenbrow from Kaldheim? That was definitely one of my favorite ones recently.

Could I offer an additional requirement? In addition to the random commander, add two random cards that work in that color identity and use them in a subtheme. This way, if someone hits Atraxa, Praetors' Voice or Kenrith, the Returned King or another popular commander, it's not quite so easy to just copy a deck.

I got Lovisa Coldeyes. The easy way to go here is Warrior tribal, with some interesting Barbarians and Berserkers to fill it out. Brighthearth Banneret, Kargan Intimidator, and Arni Brokenbrow will probably all find a home here. Give it some Viking thematic love and lean in hard to Ice Age, Coldsnap, and Kaldheim.

If I add two random cards, I got Extraplanar Lens and Trumpet Blast. Trumpet blast goes for go-wide aggro, so that's kind of where this deck wants to be. Lens could add a subtheme around ramp, but I'm going to go with Mountains matter and add Koth of the Hammer, Siege of Towers, and Earth Servant.

Looks good, but Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma really wants to join they fray. Also, Moraug, Fury of Akoum , Arni Brokenbrow and Siege Behemoth would like to offer their help.

Arni Brokenbrow 2R

Legendary Creature - Human Berserker

Boast - : Each other creature you control's base power becomes equal to Arni's minus 1 until end of turn

3/1

He still gets to boast about being your "strongest creature" but now he's a go-wide aggro guy instead of a bad firebreathing ability. Might be too strong with goblins though.
