Commander deckGUW
Lagrella, the Magpie
Blink friendly woodland creatures with powerful enters-the-battlefield abilities to ramp lands, draw through the deck, and overwhelm opponents with a flurry of value.
Asked for“A bracket two Olinda blink deck with heavy bloomburrow vibes (so no zombies or phyrexians for example). Land ramp favored over rocks (though not opposed to on theme rocks)”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.
Mana curve · 62 nonland cards
The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
