I'm relatively new to magic and I've been enjoying all the various tribes/types/groups/themes you can build around. I like that you can build a cat deck or a dragon deck or a crab deck or an angel deck or a vehicle deck and all work with lots of options. What's your favourite theme and what are some of your favourite cards for that theme?

I like my big cool creatures, so I love my Dinosaur, Dragon, Sea Monster, Sliver, and Angel decks. I've actually made two Dinosaur and Dragon decks each, one in paper for Commander and one on Arena.

[[Gishath, Sun's Avatar]] is a super cool commander. Some of my favorite cards in the deck are the new dinos from March of the Machine: [[Ghalta and Mavren]] and [[Etali, Primal Conqueror]]. Ghalta and Mavren is a really fun card for the flavor, and Etali is ridiculously strong.

Some of my favorite Dragons are [[Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient]] who generates a ton of mana to cast more Dragons with, and [[Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm]] who gives you twice the Dragon per Dragon. Copying [[Niv-Mizzet, Parun]] creates a really strong effect that opponents always have a tough time figuring out how to handle, and copying [[Wrathful Red Dragon]] means that anyone swinging into your board is likely to just die from the retribution damage. I also opened a copy of [[Terror of the Peaks]] in a random sample pack from a draft that's still one of my best-ever pulls, and that thing puts in tons of work.
