This is a bit of a different article. It is an attempt at providing a record and a resource as a byeproduct of some changes to routine over the past year. Historically I would build decks I wanted to play and toy with using real cards. This year was rather different with various lockdowns making in person play not a thing. As such I found I was making up decklists digitally on cockatrice rather than with cards (or as notes in drafts in this blog as I often do as a precursor). It transpires there are a bunch of advantages to building up a load of virtual decks. The main one being is that I still have them all, ready to be played with, updated, looked at, etc. The other big one is that I can ship them easily to others to load up for a quick battle. Originally I thought I had to do this with the saved .cod files but it transpires you can literally do it from a text file meaning I should be able to post the lists up here such that they can be copied and loaded up where ever you are with ease. As such, I am going to share all the decks I made for one reason or another over the course of the year. Mostly they are the showcase style of deck trying to push a specific synergy to the max rather than being the optimal build of that list. Power levels differ quite wildly as a result. This meant either cherry picking appropriate decks to battle or having some means of bidding on the lists in question. By all means take these decks and play with them however you like. Chop and change. Or not Do whatever. Just read the lists and take some inspiration. Or again, don't. This is one of those articles that will offer a bunch to some people and nothing to many so if a whole bunch of random singleton lists are not for you then here is the point to stop.
Some of these decks were build as "commander" decks, just normal 40 card cube decks but with commanders too! Some were entirely normal decks and others could transition between either mode. Most had sideboards but mostly these were cards I was considering and didn't make the cut rather than being actual functioning sideboards. Should you be as technically inept as me; to load these into cockatrice simply copy just the decklist and then in the deck editor section of cockatrice you can "load from clipboard" and presto, instant list! These are in no special order. I'll give a quick intro to each list so as to provide some context and useful breaks. As you will see, most of these lists are prompted by cards released over the year.
Before the actual decklists here is a list of the deck names in the same order they are copied here for quick reference. Some lists have a big or little 'c' after them. This is to denote if it is a commander deck. A capital C means it needs a commander to work properly, a lower case c means you can easily transform the list to be a commander deck or not as you see fit. I will also stick a picture for a key identifier card for each deck just before the list to aid in breaking up the lists and finding stuff while scanning through.

Gyruda
A deck build around the companion. Really this needs to be a commander list now (and run Jeweld Lotus) as this was built before the companion rules change and having to pay three to put into hand takes a fair bit of the power out of the deck. This disrupts some of the functionality of the deck although it is probably still workable as is using new companion rules. It is a pretty dull deck if played with the original companion rules, I nearly won a mulligan to two. It is fast and uninteractive and a little over powered if not met with the right disruption.

Tribal Cats
A Selesnya tribal deck that wildly outperformed expectations, so much so I think I published an article on the list. Turns out depth of high quality one drops is what aggressive tribal decks most want. Cats does that better than most other tribes and due to general lack of depth in the more powerful card slots the lords for the set are rather more potent. Kaheera the companion.

Kinnan Dorks
A commander list focusing on mana dorks and Kinnan. You could probably make this a normal deck with minimal effort but you would need to add in some things to find Kinnon and remove some things like Basalt Monolith that depends on him to free up the space needed. Plays a lot like a burst elf deck in what is a surprise to no one.

A commander synergy deck again abusing Kinnan but this time with artifacts as the primary support rather than creatures. This would be a little tougher to make into a normal deck but not impossible by any means.

Life Clerics
An Orzhov tribal clerics deck with a heavy life theme on the go. It has both a monstrous mana base that likely leans on Aether Vial too hard. It is then a ghastly 41 cards and should really be refined and trimmed. Orah or Ayli the obvious choices to turn this into a commander list.

Runaway Red
A quirky but powerful aggressive red deck that uses discard and graveyard effects heavily. A rare example of an aggro deck that usually sees most of the deck each game. Should likely be updated to include Birgi, in the main or even as a commander.

Splinter Twin
A classic version of a classic deck. Nice to have this kind of thing in the pool to test against and use as a bench mark. No real new cards or tech inspired this built, it is just a good one to have. This isn't optimal but it is a very good example list and still better than you could reasonably hope from a draft.

Twiddle Storm
An Izzet storm combo deck that uses things that tap for a lot of mana alongside effects that untap them to generate mana and storm rather than rituals. It is like a High Tide build that can be more heavily in a second colour while being far more consistent and not relying so heavily on one card. The cost to this is a little more setup and perhaps a touch less raw power in the god draws. A couple of nice little sub themes in this list too with arcane spells and splicing on to them featuring along with some Blood Sun action.

Vampires
An aggressive Mardu tribal vampires build that is pretty nutty when played as a commander deck with Edgar Markov and pretty reasonable when played conventionally. Edgar is a nice commander in this regard as he is one of the few you don't then put in the main deck when converting to a normal list thus needing no tweaks to move from one form to the other.

Yorion Control
A 60 card, but otherwise typical, Azorious control list so as to get the companion. A mild selection of otherwise good flicker targets so as to make Yorion more exciting than an overpriced Air Elemental. A nice middle of the road control deck that has some game across the field and will deliver if you are into that sort of thing.

Yorion Flicker
Another Yorion deck but this one is far more focused on flicker effects all round. It is more midrangy and more tap out. It has a sub theme of planeswalker modifiers (Oaths) which is a lot of fun if you get it going. Brago would be one of the more obvious choices for commander if you wanted to convert.
