And land tax isn't just for "ramp" per say, It guarantees I never miss a land drop. It also removes 3 cards from my deck that I can no longer draw. IE, deck thinning.

Legendary Creature — Rat Warlock
Whenever Ashcoat of the Shadow Swarm attacks or blocks, other Rats you control get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of Rats you control.
At the beginning of your end step, you may mill four cards. If you do, return up to two Rat creature cards from your graveyard to your hand. (To mill a card, put the top card of your library into your graveyard.)

Legendary Creature — Naga Druid
Cascade (When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.)
Spells you cast with mana value 6 or greater have cascade.

So trying to goldfish a precon upgrade. The problem I'm running into is the commander is [[Abbadon the Despoiler]]. Anyone got suggestions for simulating what X would be? Since it's total life between my last turn and this turn, I'm not sure what the best way to simulate life loss would be since there'd be 3 more people swinging

#

Or wait is it strictly checking just on life lost between Main Phase 1 and main phase 2? Cause even then any suggestions? Like assume they never block?

what deck you think will be better? [[Pantlaza, sun favored]] or [[Huatli, Poet of Unity]] ?

rare escarpBOT
#

Legendary Creature — Dinosaur
Whenever Pantlaza, Sun-Favored or another Dinosaur enters the battlefield under your control, you may discover X, where X is that creature's toughness. Do this only once each turn. (Exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with that mana value or less. Cast it without paying its mana cost or put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom in a random order.)
4/4

#

Legendary Creature — Human Warrior Bard
When Huatli, Poet of Unity enters the battlefield, search your library for a basic land card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
mana3manarwmanarw: Exile Huatli, then return her to the battlefield transformed under her owner's control. Activate only as a sorcery.
2/3

Roar of the Fifth People
Enchantment — Saga
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after IV.)
I — Create two 3/3 green Dinosaur creature tokens.
II — Roar of the Fifth People gains "Creatures you control have 'manat: Add manar, manag, or manaw.'"
III — Search your library for a Dinosaur card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
IV — Dinosaurs you control gain double strike and trample until end of turn.

Looking to do some heavy duty trimming on some cacti today with some very spicy upgrades.

Legendary Planeswalker — Nissa
Landfall — Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, put a loyalty counter on Nissa of Shadowed Boughs.
+1: Untap target land you control. You may have it become a 3/3 Elemental creature with haste and menace until end of turn. It's still a land.
−5: You may put a creature card with mana value less than or equal to the number of lands you control onto the battlefield from your hand or graveyard with two +1/+1 counters on it.
Loyalty: 4

Just an idea

I agree, I have play tested with some already. I found more often than not, I drew them early game and I really needed a 2-3 cost to still be able to save for something to protect them while swinging

Whenever you cast a Kraken, Leviathan, Octopus, or Serpent spell from your hand, look at the top X cards of your library, where X is that spell's mana value.

Menace
Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, you may sacrifice an artifact. If you do, flip a coin. When you win the flip, copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy. When you lose the flip, Breeches, the Blastmaker deals damage equal to that spell's mana value to any target.

Depends on what you want to do

Do you want your commander early? Dark ritual

You don't have to swing with your commander

He just needs to be out

So you can ignore summoning sickness

For sure

In that deck

With dockside late game

Draw half your deck if sheoldred is out gain a ton of life and qin

#

As you don't have much control over it

#

Oil has 0 place in that deck

#

It's purely a like card

spark ermine
# left quail Oil has 0 place in that deck

Ah I figured with all the wheels oil could end the game in 1-2 turns. Probably win more.
As far as Waste Not, the card draw is the main goal of that, with the 2/2’s being a nice bonus.

# chilly mantle https://manabox.app/decks/YjH0zyXsTPizOovCuOc_jw

Ngl this is to all over the place let's begin with tiny bones he is a great card In the 99 but for a mono color black commander there are way better options depending on what you are trying to make this deck has a lot of mechanics like discard forced sac mill and self mill but nothing to tie it all up together and no rely good outlet or payoff to any of those and no reall game ender I would try for a first commander deck stick to one theme like discard and then look at the Internet what are the best colors for discard what cards I want to build around and search the right commander or the other way around find a commander that has such a unique and broken ability you can build around it

#

When building commander there are 2 ways find a theme and a good 99/98 foe it and find the best commander for the theme / colors or just good value commander or commanders that have such wild abilities you build the 99 around them or something in the middle where the commander is a great outlet payoff but the deck can exist even with him having high commander tax and not playing him

And just start testing see if you need maybe toughness pump spells draw counters removal ramp this 3 colors have it all just get a basic list and start Improving

ill share the list in a moment

#

so how should the landbase look like?

proper swallow
proper swallow
wraith onyx
#

does the rest of the deck look alr tho?

#

actually let me add some ramp

proper swallow
#

Instead of snakeskin veil I would take the untap spell form lotr it has split second so it cannot be responded to

#

And for the mana base since your curve is topped at around 4 mana I would go for 18 lands with 5 fetch lands 8 shock lands of this colors 1 troime and 4 basics should be a good enough base you can always add or cut lands

#

Maybe even 20 lands add 1 more shock and 1 more fetch lands fetches are good to have in 3 color decks to help fix your mana easily

#

Also this guide can help you

wraith onyx
#

wowa

#

thanks

wraith onyx
proper swallow
#

I would had 2 more lands since 16 is to low for you to have a consistent curve to play a 4 drop on 4

wraith onyx
#

2 more fetch lands added

#

any other tips?

proper swallow
#

And instead of the ramp spells I would go wall of roots since it firs your theme and can be used both has a dork and has a part of the gameplan

#

And it's not a tapped ability so it can be used the turn it is summoned and it's stats are really really good for you gameplan

wraith onyx
#

Oooo yeah not a bad idea!

proper swallow
#

Also would think about maybe Sylvan carytid since it's a defender that can mana fix for you

#

And since its modern I would go with preordain instead of consider since how it works is that it gives you bigger selection of cards to draw from since you look at 2 then decide if scry or not so really you look at 3 cards

#

I mean 3 different draw options that you know 2 off and can order them

#

Just don't forget that fetch lands make it so you will shuffle so don't fetch before you draw something you scried to draw next turn

wraith onyx
#

something like this?

#

alright, it works (sort of)

proper swallow
# wraith onyx something like this?

Looks nice I would just side board some counter and removal speels and anti combo cards like pithing middle and this seems working againsf some very very casual modern decks

#

Tbh modern atm is kind of bonkers

wraith onyx
#

Isnt modern always bonkers?

proper swallow
#

Yea but now it is even more beacause outlaws just made temur prowess and mono affinity blue Into this extremely bonkers decks

wraith onyx
#

Like Gaak Summer, 'Razi Winter and right now it would seem that the best deck is a tie between Domain and Rakdos Scam

proper swallow
#

But high mono blue affinity is a top meta deck in modern for only 400 dollars that's cool

wraith onyx
#

Oh for gods sake
Whats the best right now???

proper swallow
#

Zoo mono blue affinity temur prowess and the regulars of yagmawth and amulet

Now that I've built my grixis deck, my last step is to look at lands.

I have 39 black pips, and 37 black producers.

I have 15 basic land swamps, I have 0 basic lands mountains or islands.

All my red and blue producers comes from dual lands (check lands, slow lands, shock lands, bond lands, etc).

Should I cut down on Izzit dual lands and introduce more basic swamp lands? 39 consumers vs 37 producers aren't that bad, or is it? Anyway, the distribution is quite skewed for red and blue 😄

I have 5 izzit dual lands

Horrors you control have menace.
Whenever a Horror you control deals combat damage to a player, that player mills that many cards.
At the beginning of your end step, choose target artifact or creature card in an opponent's graveyard that was put there from their library this turn. Put it onto the battlefield under your control.

How many cards that allow you to draw cards are a good rule of thumb?

#

Like should I have 5 cards that allow me to draw cards or is that too low?

#

I'm running a mono green deck and there are quite a bit of ways to draw cards with mono green but I wasn't sure how many to run

naive prawn
# lime hedge How many cards that allow you to draw cards are a good rule of thumb?

Yes.

It's impossible to answer that question generally as different decks can afford more or less card draw. You can build your deck to have zero card draw and instead ensure every single card is powerful enough on its own that you only need to play one card per turn to feel relevant. Or you can build your deck to be chock full of small spells so you can chain together 3,4,5+ spells a turn and thus need a massive draw engine to support that.

Mono-G has draw support in a variety of ways. You could build an enchantress list to take advantage of those powerful engines but this requires a hefty portion of the deck be enchantments. You could utilize the "draw based on large power" cards but these are vulnerable to interaction and there aren't that many of them. You could use tribal draw effects. The list goes on and on.

The better thing to do is to playtest the deck. You can theory craft all day long but it becomes rapidly apparent what does and doesn't work about a list the moment you try playing it. I always recommend folks use the playtest feature of whatever deck building app they prefer to solo play the first ~6 turns a dozen times to get a sense of how often they're running out of cards early or how often they're getting mana screwed.

Playtesting is the best educator.

Idk if you use archidekt or moxfield, but I'd recommend moxfield's playtest tool as the better option as it has hotkeys which allow you to do your playtesting really quickly. I usually playtest 6 turns in about 60sec

As far as squirrel commanders go, theer's really only [[chatterfang]], but more often than not, he's played as just a token/aristocrat commander and not a straight up "squirrel" commander.
As far as tribal synergies go, they're mediocre. There just aren't enough straight up "squirrel tribal" pieces for edh imo, just stuff that happens to make squirrel tokens.

After playing Minsc and Boo "Bite" deck on brawl I saw that it works reeeally well, but would it work in commander aswell? Im afraid it might be slow 4v4 , the themes of the deck are Bite+Riot and +1+1 counters incidently...thoughts ?

proper fiber
#

idk, hard to say without a deck list. it sounds doable for regular commander though, fight decks aren't out of this world

ancient rune
#

but fight is one thing bite is another, fight has payoffs like brash taunter and that green legendary with a gruul ability that draws you a card when you fight, but bite...not so much, and that means ill either have to play with mostly beefy creatures (increase ramp etc) or deathtouch

#

I was looking for payoffs like pandemonium or cards that deal damage to player when you deal damage to creatures that player controlls, stuff like that

#

the riot and +1+1counters is easier to build but since now there are enough playable bite cards I thought maybe I could use that as a subtheme, fight is a bigger subtheme because it has more payoffs i think

proper fiber
#

The payoff for bite is that you remove someone else's creature. i don't think you need specific payoffs for removal to be good

#

if you really want to play into that specific type of removal, maybe you could look into things thatsynergize with noncombat damage

ancient rune
#

yes for 1v1 thats great, in oathbreaker and brawl Minsc and Boo with a bitee theme is brutal, but against 3 more oponents is harder, lose 1 card per creature (some give 2 for 1 but still) and one opponent loses 1 creature but then Im out 1 card opponent A is out 1 creature and B and C get ahead

What kinds of edh decks could the fit into? I have a Dimir Reanimator/Steal deck where Hymn might be fun...?

Not the Demonic Consultation/Thassa's Oracle combo, please.

#

I guess if you really want to you can simply run demonic consultation as a very janky, risky tutor

#

Like, demonic consultation simply isn't a great card outside of comboing with it.

#

there is a very real chance that it just kills you if you try and use it "fairly"

#

there are a few janky options that want you to have an empty library that aren't thoracle or labman/jace or whatever. [[Out of the Tombs]] could fit that reanimator style you were going for. [[Ormos, Archive Keeper]] becomes a big beater I guess?

#

As for Hymn of Tourach, idk if it really fits into reanimator, as the results are random and I wouldn't count on your opponents to have valuable creatures for you to reanimate. You should be bringing those yourself. There are a few discard centric commanders like Tergrid or Tinybones you could try, although those are generally rather hated.

So, I was playing some games of commander with my friends. And by the third (and final) game, my brain was totally fried by all the stuff going on in my deck.

I'm curious if anyone can suggest something simple (but still precon-level competitive) that I can pick up and still have a good time with? For those evenings where we want to get another game in, but I don't have the mental capacity for anything complicated.

I would probably end up not swinging at all if it means I can't hold up defenses against your commander. It only really makes sense if there's some other piece that forces me to attack

Alternatively, it just makes me want to come for you

# neon iron But tbh it might be smarter to build it fast and aggressive

Something that Boros benefits from is that people usually underestimate what you can do, since it is generally considered a weaker color combo. I find that getting really agressive with this deck I can usually kill the table on turn 4-5 while going fairly under the radar. The other big benefit is most of the boros partners are low CMC so you can play less lands which opens up more potential for combos!

# drifting stump Hello! I'm a new player and I'm trying to build a deck with Ajani as my commande...

It's alright. I do question a few things. Like high market, and hall of helioid's Generosity. They seem rather odd for this deck. Rider of the mark and the entire human package seems odd. It would likely be more cohesive if you swapped those for cats rather then being pulled between two different Kindred themes. (Or just. Do full human since I'm pretty sure that's just better at swarming the board. If the +0 is all you care about)
Ojer doesn't really make much sense. You don't have much non-combat damage. And the most reliable source of it. Your commander doesn't care if ojer is on field, You're gonna have more then 4 creatures lot of the time. And just impact tremors and friends should be able to pull you across the finish line on their own.
And what's with kiki-jiki? You don't have combo pieces with it and nobody will see it as a fair card. You'll draw a lot of heat just by trying to play it fairly.
Even then, You don't have many things you'd want to copy for a turn.

Other then those few things. The biggest thing should probably be to focus on either humans or cats so you can use Kindred effects more easily (you can find a lot on scryfall by searching "choose a creature type" and filtering by colors.
And. Well you probably need more ramp and card Draw.
Claim jumper, loyal warhound. Magus of The wheel. And reforge the soul would help this deck a lot.

Best of luck in your deckbuilding journey

drifting stump
# thorny trench It's alright. I do question a few things. Like high market, and hall of helioid'...

Thanks for the reply, im using high market as one possible sac outlet for a cat to flip ajani just incase i have no chance to get rid of the my cats naturally - this is also why im using goblin bombardment and ashnod's altar. I'm using token generating humans to swarm the board for ajani's +0/purphoros/impact tremors/warleaders call but i also want to keep the token generating cats so i have more chances of flipping ajani. I thought my deck depended alot on my enchantments as well so i put in heliod's generosity as a possible way to get my enhancements back incase they were removed by other players. Focusing on cats in red/white was difficult for me as they dont really swarm the board much and the red cat options are quite bad but if i go pure humans then the only cats I will have is the cat warrior token that Ajani creates on ETB. I have 2 combos with kiki jiki which are kiki jiki + felidar guardian and kiki jiki + combat celebrant. What cards do you suggest I replace riders of the mark and Ojer for? I also wanted to include hot guys and cat dads in my deck thats why i skipped goblins

thorny trench
# drifting stump Thanks for the reply, im using high market as one possible sac outlet for a cat ...

Tbh hot guys and cat dads are a totally valid reason to include the cards.
For the swaps. Probably just the ramp/card Draw I suggested earlier.
And ah. I think I just missed those combos. My bad. Totally fair to keep it in.
Do be prepared for how that might affect how people see your deck though. If the combo is a lot better then the gameplan of the rest of your deck. Your opponents might see it as less of a fun token deck and more of a combo deck in a trenchcoat

Link me when/if you finish the deck!

I will 🫡

#

So far it's just the 2 cards

#

I wonder if there is a scryfall tag for "complicated" or "wordy"

speaking from experience playing lots of mono white outside of equipment or tokens you kinda have to take what you can get. Red has some alright stuff that could enable some mild GY synergies or you could stick to stuff like firemane avenger and chivalric alliance that reward attacking

#

you could always resort to secret rendezvous and friends if it comes down to it, I try to use it as a last resort though

actually i might run [[alela, artful provocator]]

even then my goal is to win without tivit, provided he lays on the board it will be a problem but the gameplan is to smoke and mirrors all the heat on tivit then the hullbreaker horror death by extortion combo. that might be the casual questionable aspect as it's smoke and mirrors and not direct in the way that it wins with the information that you're presented with

Makes sense. I think I have enough card draw as is (currently I have Wojek Investigator, Battle Angels, Firemane Commando, Mangara, new Aurelia, Seize the Spotlight, Herald’s Horn, Staff of Compleation and Grenzo to an extent), but I will find a spot for Firemane. I cut her initally cause I thought she was a weaker version of [[aurelia, the law above]].

@keen eagle

#

Oh wait I was thinking of a different card

#

I already have Firemane Commando in the deck already

#

[[firemane commando]] [[firemane avenger]]

#

Yeah avenger doesn’t draw cards

#

Commando does and I have her already

#

Also, if my friend is willing to proxy, I was planning on cutting [[inspiring overseer]] for [[trouble in pairs]], which is a fantastic card for this style of deck

I would not count wojek (depends on a full turn cycle plus 2 mana), mangara(controlled by opponent), Aurelia(controlled by opponent), seize(controlled by opponent), heralds (inconsistent), and grenzo (you dont really want other peoples cards if youre in a kindred deck) necessarily towards card draw, you need to have at least a few ways to unconditionally draw a card. Since I cant think of something that will consistently trigger off of aurelia, Im thinking of things along the lines of The One Ring if your friend is okay with proxying or Cut a Deal/Secret Rendezvous. I think Horn of the Mark may be reasonably consistent?

[[horn of the mark]]

esper sentinel if theyre ok with proxying as well

My friend does have a one ring from a bundle, but I think it’s best home is in his artifact deck so I think he’d rather keep it there. Yea he could proxy but

need to double check your angel count but one in five will be significantly better odds than just the top deck

#

kinda just what is available in boros though, rough in drawing

deep dune
#

I think I’m at about 25 angels atm

#

Do you think that just adding Trouble in Pairs would give me enough card draw as is?

keen eagle
#

ah yeah maybe not then

keen eagle
#

you need to have a certain amount of your deck be reliable card draw for the sake of consistency, trouble in pairs is amazing but you wont draw it every game

Fair

I could use some help with mana distribution, basic lands, and ramp. I would like to just use the lands I have on the Sideboard if possible, but if there are budget adds I could acquire that would also work.

#

Those should help cause I personally think inconsistent card draw is better than none at all

Thoughts?
