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! ❤️
