I mostly play Magic with people that I've taught the game and gotten hooked on it. Because of that I always keep the new player experience in mind when building decks and some of them are even built with that as a hard constraint.
These are the decks I keep that I give to newer or rustier players. They tend to have a bit everything or else commit hard to just the one theme where the theme is obvious.
Halana and Alena Counters - Make your commander big then they make something else big every turn.
Sloguurk Self-Mill - mill yourself, make your commander big, draw lands from the graveyard, play them.
Ramp City Svella - Ramp ramp ramp, cast fatties, profit.

A deck created using the deck building website, Moxfield.
We all have that deck that just survives even though it isn't the best. For me that's [[Torgaar, Famine Incarnate]]. It's not the best mono black commander in any way but its particular combination of effects to me is emblematic of mono black. It's a bit of a swiss army knife and so I find myself hard pressed to really change anything about the core of the deck.
What's your pet deck?
I'm personally excited to use LTR/LTC commander decks to get people into the game!

I finally did it. I went through the entire web fiction archive and turned it into EPUBs (except the NEO manga PDF).
All stories have the proper metadata with title, author(s) and series (set/block/anthology) and include the proper cover image as shown on the MTG Story Archive here: https://magic.wizards.com/en/story
This is the link to the Google Drive containing the files. The anthologies and chapters are separated by folder so you can choose your preferred reading experience.

It was A LOT of work but made much easier using a variety of software tools to automate the most important steps.

In the future I may write custom software that would let me scrape a database of links and do every step automatically but that would take longer than the one whole day it took me to do this. There's is also no source that I know of that has a complete mostly of all free web fiction with working links. It's a mess on the mothership.
Enjoy!
