Vren, the Relentless - Deck Help

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice on my [[Vren, the Relentless]] deck. I’ve played two games with it so far, and both were rough. I thought I had built something cohesive, but even with decent draws, I struggled to make an impact. I’d love to hear any feedback—gentle or harsh—on how I can improve!

Background Information

  • I started playing last year, so I’m still relatively new to deckbuilding.
  • This is my first and only non-precon deck, built from scratch.
  • My playgroup consists of experienced players with what I’d describe as Bracket 4 decks.
  • We don’t use proxies and I don’t mind investing in expensive cards if needed.
  • The main decks I face are:
    • Dragon Tribal
    • Eldrazi Tribal
    • Sliver Tribal
    • Voltron

Deck Struggles

  • Vren feels underwhelming once he’s on the board—I struggle to go off.
  • Not generating enough tokens or not fast enough to be a real threat.
  • Lack of interaction—I thought I included enough but still felt like I couldn’t disrupt opponents effectively.

What I Need Help With

  • How can I better leverage Vren’s abilities to be more impactful?
  • Do I need more token generators, support cards, or recursion?
  • How can I increase interaction to disrupt my opponents more effectively?
  • Are there any key staples I’m missing that would elevate my deck?

I am 100% committed to keeping Vren as my commander and willing to remove many cards or make major changes if necessary. I truly appreciate any insights the community can offer!

Thanks in advance for your help! ❤️
