I am a huge I. Rex fan girl, I love the giant misunderstood psychopath so much I genuinely collect Indominus merch any chance I get (and if it's affordable. Oh boy there are some products out there that make me wish I was rich).

So obviously when she got her own MTG card, I instantly brewed a deck with her. Over the last couple months I've been fine tuning it and now that I'm finally happy with it, here it is!

THE DECK

As far as the deck's playability is concerned, she has roughly an 80% win rate, and usually she comes down with 5+ keywords at a time when I cast her. I'd say the most hilarious victory was a 2 hour game where she was a whopping thirteen mana when I cast her for the last time.

However I am a huge I Rex fan girl, remember? I can't stop at just the deck, it needs to be perfect. So I booted up my custom card maker and decided that every nonland, noncreature card had to be an homage in some way. I even made alters of some of the utility lands. 51 cards in total, and in the next couple weeks I'm going to be getting them all proxied up and put into the deck.

All of the art is screenshots from the movie or official concept art, with a few fan arts for cards that I couldn't really get a good official reference image for.

THE ALTERS

Obviously with this many alters, the noncreature portion of the deck is pretty set in stone unless something truly incredible comes out. If/when that happens I'll probably just keep the art/name/flavor text of whatever card it's replacing and just change the name and rules text.

If you have any questions about the deck, feel free to ask!

EDIT: After a deck update, it now has slightly less than 51 alters.

I need some help to my [[Indominus]] deck. The problems I have: I have not enough board, often I have an unkillable and monstrous Indominus by turn 4 or 5 and other 1 or 2 other creatures in play turn 6 or 7. Often people trying to join forces to kill me so I can't do much. With commander damage I need at least 3 attack if I manage to get some +1+/+1 counter on it but generally is a 6/6. So I need to survive, I was thinking a [[No mercy]] and [[Damnation]]. And I need some other cards that put +1+/+1 counters. An other things is that I draw A LOT, after casting Indominus I draw from 3 to 8 cards is a row, but all I draw are monsters or reanimating engine (that is good) but are there some other ways to use all that card vantage in a more useful way?

Here is the deck: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/0cqnbc7JC0S_CmRSU2hQog

Hello fellow wizards,

I have currently build a deck based on the video of our beloved professor. You can see the video here: https://youtu.be/sOxQQnnp4oQ

I have basically just bought the upgraded version of the above mentioned deck and got some cards in addition to it as they where recommended in the comment section, e.g. [The Skullspore Nexus], [Blackblade, reforged], [Bribe Taker] or [Scavenged Brawler].

The deck itself has the goal to feed my commander with creatures which preferably have as many attributes as possible. My commander will therefore inherit these attributes (hexproof, indestructible, flying, etc) and let me draw a card for each creature discarded that way. In addition, the deck has a reanimation subtheme.

TLDR: I now have a deck with 106 cards total and cannot decide which cards to cut. I am sure that I want to keep all creatures with hexproof and indestructible attributes and creatures with strong abilities such as [Dire Fleet Ravenger], [Rankel, Master of Pranks], [Glissa Sunslayer] or [Gemrazer].

Which cards would you cut? You can find me current deck list here: https://manabox.app/decks/7P9H5J0XSTaZYyGc6a5u3Q

Thank you so much for your time and recommendations! I cannot wait to feed my dear mutant dinosaur and let it fly above my enemies armed with swords and with the possibility in mind to reanimate it anytime. Zombie mutant swordmaster dinosaur for the win! 🦖

Hi everyone!

I am currently trying to build an [[Indominus Rex, Alpha]] deck, and wow this feels hard aha.

I am fairly new to MTG and I started with EDH. I built my first deck recently with the help of EDHREC and Moxfield (Hydrax and everyone writing primers, thank you guys !). But this was a "simple" one ([[Ezuri, claw of progress]]).

For this dino I'd love to play, I looked on the internet and tried to do my own thing, here is the current state https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ZNtb7yHup0KtLvRDW-SQnA (do not hesitate to look at tags !)

So I am trying to build it as a keyword/reanimator deck. I read things on the internet about the use of clones, counter interactions when it enters the battle field ([[Essence flux]] and [[Ripple of potential]]), the Voltron part, I am still not quite sure about how I managed to do a little bit of the two lasts (I don't know about the clones part, what do you think of it ?)

I did not fulfilled the deck, some slots are empty. Why I am struggling, and what am I struggling on ?

• Draw. Usually I tend to include a lot of draw cards. Here, the indominus is supposed to make me draw but I don't know... I should not purely rely on it, what do you think of the draw tag cards ? I play a 3 green decks and I usually include [[Guardian project]] but here, I am not sure about it.

• Ramp is ok-isch ? I tried to include some ramp I could discard if I'd like to, so I did not include the classic elves I usually do. But I have the same problem with ramp that I have with draw: I don't know if I can count on card that ramps that I'd like to discard.

• Interactions and removal. Have I enough to protect my commander, as I believe it is clearly my main and (only ?) wincon ? Should I include some artifacts like [[Lightning greaves]] or [[Whispersilk Cloak]] ?

• General strategy and wincons. Should I play some clones ? I am not sure about how it works, whether they enter the battlefield with counters if they copy a creature that has counters on it, whether they trigger ETB capacities of the copied creature. Should I include more counter interaction to draw a lot of cards when it enters the battlefield ? Should I deep into a Voltron strategy ?

Nota: I included a lot of cards from Revenant Recon new deck as I plan to buy it, I'd love to play some reanimators deck ! (https://www.moxfield.com/decks/vZL4Rzjteka1s6-UU3okAg)

And I would like to make a semi budget deck, meaning I am ok to buy cards around 10-20$ if they are key cards, but I won't put 10$ on mana ramps or 30$ in any card like [[The Ozolith]]

Hope you are all fine !

EDIT: I finally converged to this full version. I'll have to think about it more but for now I'll sleep on it. I added only 3 clones that I plan to use both as wincons and draw engine. I also restricted interactions only to prevent board wipe that exile creatures (With hexproof and indestructible I should be protected from anything else). I am not sure about how this should work, we'll have a look ! I may lack of hexproof and trample keyword cards, but I do not know what to swap now.
