Bulk Request

Every deck needs a great Commander, and we all know the amazing feeling of finding our first one. Let's make it a goodie for new players. It's harder to list or define what makes a good and/or fun commander for a new payer but here's a Scryfall list of all the commanders less than 50c US.

Commanders should at least be 1 of the following:

• Offer mana or card advantage

• Have a unique theme or ability. 

• Be well supported by their colours.

• Be mono, 2 or 3 colours.

The base of any MTG deck is lands and that's why we ask for any lands to be donated including Basics!

But as you know not every deck is just one colour so we ask that you consider donating multi-colour lands as well:

• Gates

• Bounce lands

• Tapped Fetch Lands 

  • Panoramas

  • New Capenna Locales 

  • Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse, Shire Terrace

• Snow Taplands

• Artifact Taplands

• Triple Taplands

• Command Tower and Exotic Orchard (and other rainbow lands)

• Lands for tribes (Path to Ancestry, Secluded Courtyard etc. )

This includes artifact-based ramp, creature-based ramp and land-based ramp, preferably with 2/3 mana value.

Here is a list of all ramp under 50c USD by Scryfall  
It's composed mostly of:

• Signets and Talismans

• Cultivate and Rampant growth-esque cards 

• 3 Mana value Artifacts

• Solemn Simulacrum, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Burnished Heart etc.

• Mana dorks (1 or 2 mana)

Creatures doing combat damage is the simplest way for new players to win, and are the heart of Magic. Here are some descriptors for playable creatures: 

• Are well costed for their ability and P/T

• Creatures that draw cards

• Creatures that are removal

• Creatures that have an immediate or guaranteed effect e.g. LTB, ETB, Static

• Creatures that care about their tribe

Interaction is a key pillar of commander deckbuilding and comes in many forms. We're looking for the generic catch-all's of the format:

• Counterspells 

• Removal 

• Boardwipes 

• Protection

For this to be a great start for new players and an enjoyable experience for all, we're committed to not handing new players 'unplayable' bulk. These cards would never belong in a non-draft or non-bulk deck, barring some strange slef-imposed restriction or commander-centric role. 

Cards that:

• Are Vanilla or French Vanilla creatures - no abilities or only a keyword

• Over-costed for their effect - e.g. three mana for a lightning bolt

• Care about the draft environment - e.g. Conspiracy cards

Additionally, we also do not want to hand new players cards that would hamper their experience of Magic as a whole or detract from gameplay. As such, we are also not using:

• Highly Played to Damaged cards

• Altered cards

• Cards banned in Commander 

We understand that sorting cards can be tedious, and we'd rather have your playable bulk than not. If you wish to donate any quantity of bulk, and are uncertain of its value to us, we'll happily accept it, sort it and return cards of serious value.
