Corrupting Influence

Actually legit! Got my partner this for Christmas, and he pulled it apart for various decks and loves it!

Arrived undamaged, on time, and was exactly what was advertised; I can’t think of a better reason for five stars then that

After reading reviews here and elsewhere, I decided on this as my first Commander deck. I will say that it’s not a beginner’s deck (I’m not a beginner, but it’s been awhile since I played regularly). However, it is a very powerful deck right out of the box. I’ve won more than I’ve lost, and usually pretty quickly. It’s important to win quickly with a poison themed deck like this, as in the late game heavy hitters can be a real problem. I did buy a few cards from another vendor to bolster speed and multiply the poison effects. Notably, get a Necrogen Rotpriest (this has saved my game several times) and a Vraska, Betrayal’s Sting (yet to come up for me, but it’s a really good fit). Be watchful on timings, use the board wipes early and often, and have fun :) Update: It’s been a few months now and this deck holds up very well. My group is extremely wary, so I end up becoming archenemy when I lay that commander down. Even so, I get to the win condition often enough that it’s still satisfying for me. Note that a lot of your enjoyment is dependent on the group/pod: if they don’t like your deck, it’s not going to be fun to play, so you may want to tone it down a bit. If it’s like my group, OTOH, they like having a challenge like this in front of them, and so do I :)

Commander deck arrived undamaged, sealed, and with all of the special inclusions, including the demo booster pack. Fair price considering that the deck is a couple of years old by now. As with most commander decks, it's usable out of the box, and would be a good place to start if you wanted to make some customizations or additions to make it more competitive.

Accidentally ordered this after having ordered the complete 4 deck set so I was going to leave it sealed for later in life. My son wants to start playing so I cracked it for him to use and I opened the included collector booster pack it only had two foil lands and that was it

I've made a few individual card upgrades, but the core deck is a lot of fun to play - get people to 3 poison counters with early creatures and Ixhel's 'Toxic 2' ability, then you get one of their cards from the top of their deck to play later every turn! Winning through poison counters rather than dealing 40 damage may not be great for teaching or playing with newbie players (and I would recommend using card sleeves so you easily see which cards were taken by Ixhel to give back at the end of the game), but otherwise if it sounds like a fun playstyle to you then you'll probably enjoy it!

My son loves the deck. I was happy to know that it came in mint condition and that I can order products from Amazon even if I do it from Thailand. According to what he said is a nice deck for begginers and easy to build up from there. Thanks!

Product as described, arrived on time, no damages, easy to do business with, great seller.

Ho cominciato a giocare a Magic Commander proprio con questo mazzo, ora non é piú il mio mazzo principale ma é un ottimo, ottimo mazzo, con delle ottime carte. 5 stelle per la nostalgia e per la meccanica token che mi ha fatto odiare dall'intero tavolo un bel po' di volte, a volte anche piú del toxic/infect xD Se riuscite a trovarlo ad un buon prezzo, consigliato!

It is fun to play and have some amazing cards aswell.

El mazo es divertido de jugar, lastima que de salida de la caja no es aun tan potente y puedes pasar varios turnos en que te brickeas. Aun así, el valor de varias cartas en el mazo lo vuelve ideal para principiantes ya que no es tan complidado de usar, es economico y divertido, ademas mejora con relativamente poco prespuesto.

A fun deck to play and decent value for money

Overall decent starting point for a precon. Would recommend if you intend to do some edits down the line!
