Mr. House, President and CEO | Illustrated by Joseph Meehan

Hello, everyone! For this week's deck tech, I wanted to build around one of my favorite commanders from the new Fallout set, Mr. House, President and CEO

House wants us to roll dice to make Treasures and 3/3 tokens, so let's fill the deck with cards that want us to roll dice, preferably d20s, dice synergies, Treasure generation, and Treasure synergies, so let's kick things off, or should I say let's get rolling, with all of the dice-rolling cards.

Rolling dice was first introduced to Magic in The Forgotten Realms, where it wasn't very powerful, to be honest, then once again in Commander Legends: Battle for Baulder's Gate, you know, that set tha's criminally underrated? Finally, Unfinity gave us black border dice-rolling cards along with Attractions that roll a d6 on each of our turns. But more on Attractions later. Mr. House doesn't care if we roll d6 or d20s, just that we roll higher than four. 

Let's Roll!

Bigger is better

Let's start by getting the best chance to roll big numbers. The d20 creatures available are Hoarding Ogre

The 11 noncreature d20 spells aren't as flashy but still fun to cast. Of these 11, Vexing Puzzlebox

Quantity Over Quality 

The remaining dice cards include eight d6, including the commander, one d8, and one d10. Some of these cards require us to roll multiple dice, such as Grave Endeavor

The last d6 card I want to talk about is the best space boy, Comet, Stellar Pup

Loaded Dice

We've covered plenty of dice rolling, so now let's talk about dice synergies. When I say synergies, I mean payoffs and cards that let us manipulate the outcome of our dice. For example, Brazen Dwarf

Jackpot! 

Making Treasures

Next up, we have Treasure generation. Treasure tokens were introduced in Ixalan, seven years ago, and quickly became a staple in Commander decks, but unlike in the original Ixalan, the creatures that can generate Treasures now are powerful. Okay, technically Pitiless Plunderer

Spending Our Loot

But we want other outlets for our Treasure, aside from our commander. Rain of Riches

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Before we get into the upgrades and budget changes, let's talk about winning with the deck. I've found there are three primary and one backup win cons. The first is Mirkwood Bats and Brazen Dwarf burning out the table. Generally, save Mirkwood Bats for when you have a critical mass of Treasures and can win that turn. If you wanted to be cheeky, you could cast Tainted Strike

Budget Swaps & Upgrades

Budget Updates

Finally, let's talk about budget swaps and upgrades. If you love this commander but want a more budget-friendly version, don't worry, I got you! By swapping out 12 cards from the main and five lands, we can bring the price of the deck down from over $300 to $76 at the time of writing. Originally I wanted to add Attractions to roll more dice, but I realized I needed to add win conditions and value back into the deck.

Upgrades

Now if you want to upgrade the deck, we can do that too. I'd start by cutting the worst dice-rolling creatures and Treasure-producers and adding in token-doublers, better Treasure generation, better finishers, and protection. Notably, we get Roaming Throne

Not-So-Legal Cards

And before we wrap up, there are two silver-bordered cards I'd like to mention: Krark's Other Thumb

Dice Dice Baby!
