Thoughts, opinions, suggestions? https://moxfield.com/decks/Sr39SoQziEyd926t4x3ndQ

[young phoenix]

not trying to get involve or start a war, but isnt asking for help basically open to opinion on what to do with the deck direction? I can understand that sometimes social interaction through messages could be interpreted awkwardly and neither side had the best attitude either,,,

looking at the list. i believe i find a lot of things that need cut. whenever you want to hear any of that is up to you

[young phoenix]

never been a fan of cards like pacifism or arrest in the game of mtg, i dont think those are worth a slot in the 99 especially in mono white that lacks card advantage

whatever powerlevel you plan on playing at, being hellbent is usually not going to be fun

and after getting around the issue on card advantage, it will probably circle back to why aura isnt a popular strategy; due to how easy it is lose everything thing put onto a single/few creatures

you will probably want [[swiftfoot boots]] for bare minimum protection

got a start on upgrading my Y'shtola precon

[young phoenix]

seen it played but it is more on the niche and situational side of things. kinda need a good one sided boardwipe to make the most out of it. or protection so it stays around, get big, and attack with evasion

lot of hoops to make use of its raw power, unless you are doing ozolith then you can do more broken things by keeping the counters even if when it goes away

note that while it gets bigger, it looks for power of the creatures that dies... meaning that -X/-X wouldnt work

unless everything is like a [[!force of savagery]]

Thoughts on my newest deck?

https://archidekt.com/decks/14013882/for_the_aesir_to_valhalla

[heavy meteor]

I usually play at Bracket 3, and last game a player called me out for my combo. Even though the combo required 3 cards,
Mind you this was him swinging at me for lethal after killing 1 player and the other quit.

[glass thorn]

Howdy! Can anyone look over this deck please and confirm whether it’s a B2? It’s The Howling Abomination

https://moxfield.com/decks/5uqVGFOJik2wXlHmaWFVdA

I played a game just then and it did its thing and people complained it was a combo deck - but I’ve also had games where I run out of gas and don’t do anything

[glass thorn]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Monomon!

[young phoenix]

so whats wrong with going infinite in bracket 3. what turn was it, and I am curious whats your combo

[young phoenix]

welcome, I like seeing this stuff at a table because lot of the new cards feels so broken

deck doesnt look b3 but it is possible it can fight against 3

burn decks sometimes get good match ups

and the low to the ground curve means you can get there pretty fast

[glass thorn]

I was playing bracket 2 - no infinite it was more just an engine . I had Birgi on the field, goblin anarchomancer and Blanka on the field, I cast a past in flame so I was just getting mana value and casting from my small graveyard and from hand plus cantrips

There wasn’t even a 4 card combo just value engines I guess

But he called it a combo deck because it was synergistic

[young phoenix]

if anything i think it is the birgi /storm kiln problem

near infinite mana

[glass thorn]

Sometimes it does nothing cause I don’t get the draw I need

Oh yeah storm kiln wasn’t on the field but

[young phoenix]

exact that

[glass thorn]

I get what you mean though

[young phoenix]

same thing same card but different

insert "is this a birgi" meme

[glass thorn]

Ah hahah okay

Cause I just took it into a bracket 3 and the “bracket 3” jodah went off way quicker then Blanka

Turn or 4 was way too many legendaries

[young phoenix]

i think bracket 3 is just more consistent

[glass thorn]

Yeah I reckon

[young phoenix]

and the game plan

burn when your opponent have much higher life total than other format in itself

is a less optimal strategy

[glass thorn]

Yeah for sure

Thanks heaps for your help

[young phoenix]

Np

I really want my own Blanka/or the unvierse within version deck

Sol ring/altar of the brood for urzas

Would also drop Alquist Proft if you dont have any more ways to get clues or mass colored mana

I ask because playing with tutors does make you have to memorize your deck somewhat and some groups don't like them.

[outer gale]

wouldn't mesmeric orb be better to get rid of then brood, and do i produce enough mana to get rid of sol ring?

[rich yew]

You get it on the battlefield from your deck

Mesmorb costs 2, so you can't get it with urza

Oh you mean cuts

[outer gale]

ye

[rich yew]

I would keep all 3

Cause you got so many mill+ replacement effects a ton of ping mill is prob better than mass mill.

Mindcrank would go before any of those

[outer gale]

so with your thinking what 2 cards do you think i should drop to have those tutors? i have alquist cause with 2 investigate counters can give me a bunch of mana and cards if i need them

[rich yew]

Still Proft. He only makes one clue and he can't use it when you play him. I personally don't like talisman of progress, urza'd be a good swap there

Up to you- I know Urza's is $$

i play on tabletop sim don't ever plan to own this deck, and even if i did id have to save up a considerable sum to buy it anyway

That player may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Then they put all cards exiled with this enchantment on the bottom of their library in a random order.

[young phoenix]

note that some of those spells with no downside will basically either never resolve properly

or the player with the least priority will have the best option

since everyone gets a copy of their choice

if 4 copies of a... say path to exile on the stack, but only 1 legal target, then 3 copies will fizzle

so there is no reason to make those copies

in a way

but with more legal target, some could fizzle and some could target new things

lot of mini sub games involve

and if you dont do a lot of those things, you want to consider how to avoid getting targetted [[repeal]] is a removal/protection that has to pick a specific mana value

Also making sure you know the opponent can choose to double the damage they take before adding the additional

Fate unraveler can go, too much mana for what it does. Sophim doesn't work well with your other damage buffs (if you ping for one with him and torbran, the opponent will choose to double then add for 4 instead of add then double for 6)

Ob also doesn't like his 1 damage being touched, he could still be good though if he gets big

Monastery swiftspear should go

Harsh mentor unless you play against some weird combo players (me)

Thats all I got for now

mayhem devil aint great unless you have a built in sac outlet you can work around imo, i run a valgavoth pretty regularly and you have a lot of the staples i include, though mine is more voltron focused. once valgavoth is out you gotta prepare for him to be removed because he only gets worse for other players. untimely malfunction is definitely a good pick to counter that targeted removal, but some auras or artifacts that return him to the field or give more protection is great. lightning greaves which i see you have is a welcome choice. fellwar stone can be replaced tbh. conquerors flail is an interesting pick but im not sure +2 max for this deck plus interrupt on your turn is worth it. im not certain of the synergy offered by grab the prize is either, considering its not damage on the enemies turn. could always use it to discarda big guy for disentomb or such, but i dont see many recursion effects either. i ran spiteful visions for a long time, myself, but with so many other ways to deal damage to players /without/ giving them more gas in the tank, i found it put me in more hot water than i got benefits from with my own draws. that being said, it all depends on the pod and who youre against. a combo deck would be debilitated by this. additionally, blood artist's lifegain is completely countered by rampaging ferocidon. now, it may be because i run valgavoth in a voltron-y way but i took ferocidons out and added both expedition map and witch's clinic so i can get the much needed lifelink necessary to be a big threat at the table when valgavoth is out

im mostly trying to build a spellslinger/storm deck and ive a few copies of both from over the years so im just trying to see if i can get a deck made around chain casting them a bunch will work if its a lost cause its no issue ive just never ran a deck with the can have any number cards

Dual-tribal is really hard to build well without a commander that can help both simultaneously.

If you want to keep the colors and like the doctor stuff I recommend [[the twelfth doctor]] for slimes against humanity. Any copies opponents make will be 0/0's (assuming they had no oozes) Clara works, but some other green doc's companions could be better.

Dragon's approach wants to exile 5 copies at a time, and you need to get 4 in your graveyard for it to work. Focus on either burn or self mill/rummage dragon cheating

General thoughts on this one?

[rich yew]

Probably a better commander for this. Ramos wants more colors for counters and affinity is typically colorless or low-end pip-wise.

[rich yew]

That kind of deck doesn't have the support it needs yet I think. You at most will get two counters (three with a +1 effect) per cast, and many of your artifacts are colorless. It's a hard fix. Ethersworn sphinx is the best card for this idea.

You should add ways to find your affinity Tezzeret and maybe some colored alternatives to a few of your colorless spells

I would build Ramos cascade, but I understand if you aren't interested in that

5c affinity contradicts itself

[ocean junco]

In a mono green big creatures deck, would you run more mana dorks or spell based ramp? I'm afraid of my dorks getting board wiped before I can cast all my big creatures, or wiped with my creatures with no way to rebuild. But with so many big creatures, my board will be basically empty until later in the game making me the blood bag of the table

[modest moss]

The idea is to put counters on him with things like extruder and modular creatures, as well as the new UB mm'menon

There's 12 cards not counting the modular land that give counters, and 3 of the best ones are artifacts so they're easy to find with the amount of artifact pod effects im running

There's also a number of infinite Loops using scrap trawler, myr retriever, and something like Arcbound ravager

The main reason for using ramos, is that he can benefit from Affinity from mycosynth Golem, in addition to the Planeswalker and the new Sami, so there's a lot of Loops I can do with that as well

[modest moss]

Originally this was using the new five color spacecraft Commander, but running that many multicolored spells felt really cumbersome, and ultimately resulted in my Affinity plan feeling flat, because reducing the cost of a spell that's primarily colored Pips didn't feel like much of a payoff

[modest moss]

There's also chains like scrapyard recombiner into either brightglass gearHulk to grab the ozilith and one of the XX cost artifact creatures, or if I don't have the colored Mana right away, just snag the marketback walker

With either the ozilith or Blaster in play that can usually lead to a win

The recombiner can sacrifice itself to put two counters on Ramos right away, and if I have Blaster out, it enters with an additional counter and puts 6 immediately on Ramos

The only thing I'm not happy with really, is how inconvenient it is to tutor robots given how many of them are in the new set, but that's what all the artifact pod effects are for

Also my early game color fixing feels a little weak

[rich yew]

Ok I see now. I blanked on all the modular for some reason 😅 artifact decks can be hard for me to read

Lands. You need more.

I run minimum 35 in 2 color decks.

[modest moss]

With the amount of ramp that I am running, I don't feel like I need more lands necessarily, but maybe different ones? It's not that I don't have enough Mana for things it's rather that I just don't have all the colors that I need consistently in the first two to three turns

[rich yew]

I still think the gearhulks could be triomes/duallands at least

Sorry, besides cutting a couple nonlands for triomes I don't have much.

[modest moss]

No worries lol, I was thinking maybe some more rocks to keep the artifact density high

Fellwar Stone and maybe the dimir and boros talismans

I was really tempted to add a chromatic lantern, but I'm already so high on three drops

The only reason I'm not running more shocks or triomes is because I don't have enough room to also add the fetches

[rich yew]

That's the best stuff to get with fetchlands tho

Kill some things with double pips and replace them with slimmer versions or more lands.

Also I only came back to recommend CrLantern

Double pips as in UU, not RU

[modest moss]

The only double pips im running don't have functional replacements lol

They're BiS for what they do

MAYBE brightglass, since its just a tutor (albeit a fantastic one)

I dunno, maybe I do just go up one 3 drop with the chromatic lantern

Turn 1 mishra's workshop into chromatic lantern is a pretty solid play lol

I wanted to try a "meta" deck after playing a mono black skeletons deck for some time. I am currently using this one on Arena: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/standard-mono-black-midrange-woe#paper

But then I saw this one: https://mtgdecks.net/Standard/mono-black-demons-2-decklist-by-numbskull-2574772

I am a new player. My play group has challenged me to play a quicker deck that wins using combat damage, since I generally like slower, controlled combo wins.

[rich yew]

Generally, if you're new and facing experienced players, it shouldn't be a problem. It comes with practice too. Ask to play with decks others have made. Learn what you do and don't like about certain play patterns. This goes for all constructed games. Be forgiving; understand if you flood on lands that it may not happen the next game and shuffle well!
Another way to know if you're trying too hard in commander is to look at the bracket system and game changers. Look it up. Ask what your group plays and see if you need to match their league.

May be too good. Depends on how and where you use it.

Some people use it as an infinite mana outlet and cast their deck

[blissful mantle]

thanks, but i feel like that didnt really address my question at all

ive played a lot of commander and ive built a few decks so far, what i struggle with isnt playing the game its building decks that arent too strong for my playgroup

thats why i was asking

[bold rune]

I MIGHT grab saga, thinking maybe 5 of those effects I'm looking for is a decently good amount, especially with 2 being repeatable

Would have to see some decks. Still, using your friends' decks would help. And you can always nerf yourself with deckbuilding restrictions. (This deck only has lands and creatures, this deck has no creature cards, my commander is [[yargle and multani]])

[blissful mantle]

yeah i think deckbuilding restrictions are a good idea. im wondering what would be some good restrictions

only creatures and lands is a good one but i already have a deck with that restriction and it happens to also be my strongest deck 💀

[rich yew]

U saga can go in most decks. Good investment imo.

Mmm

[bold rune]

I once saw a dude at my locals with a deck but all his creatures had 0 Power

Aside from that the whole thing was Bounce and Lifegain

[blissful mantle]

thats a really cool gimmick

[rich yew]

Those decks are (0)powerhouses tho

They use toughness as their power

[bold rune]

Oh no, it was purely a gimmick deck, dude literally never attacked

[rich yew]

Oh

[bold rune]

Just block, Bounce and got life

[blissful mantle]

i really like companions in commander because they already have built in restrictions, but the deck i wanna build is mono red and theres no mono red companion

[bold rune]

Funnily enough, he was the main guy keeping Atraxa off field

[blissful mantle]

commander but only cards whose name starts with 'M'

i chose m so i could play mountains

there's about 200-250 cards in red that start with M

so i guess that would be barely enough for a deck

i guess it could be myr tribal xd

i realized i was only looking at creatures. theres actually closer to 400 cards in the red color identity that start with the letter M

Updated my list a bit. Norin stays, but I'm not trying to build a secret commander with him

Rocco does it way better so the Norin support is cut for now

[young phoenix]

i like at least 1/3 non-basics, try to keep tapped lands below 5 if you dont want to get stuck with tapped mana when you need to play an untapped, otherwise having tapped mana turn after turn can still scale just fine. i have played basic ramp in a 3 colour deck where i had about 30 basics (after half are forest) and it worked just fine with a few mana fixing ramp. no hard rules, just what you can get and personal perference. there are people with like 2 basics in a 2 colour deck, which imo is greedy af

1/3 would be like 13 non basics, 20ish basics and a few utility maybe colourless mana source

[blissful mantle]

i think 30 lands is too little unless you play an extremely aggressive deck

[young phoenix]

36+/-2 is my usual land count

the 30 i mentioned was alll basics

it was like 6 non basic lands

[blissful mantle]

oh

i see

[young phoenix]

yeah, 30/36 XD i was too lazy to fix that land base for a one time test deck

it was a 3 colour deck with green ramp

too oppressive so i took it apart within a week or two

[blissful mantle]

i guess ill shooot for 23-25 of each mana symbol

and then just put in as many non basics as that entails

[young phoenix]

afk

ideally, do the math on mana symbols and colour ratio

[young phoenix]

first of all, idk your pod/LGS avg power level/bracket etc, judging from the deck alone... i think it is an amalgamation of pet cards around snakes & serpent. since the 99 only have so much room, you will have to make cut depends on what you need the most. if you increase the avg mana cost, you may end up needing more lands, or play around card draw, but the point is that you can never add everything you want without taking something else away, even if it is another pet card

[north glen]

a 1 card mana that can be dangoures in early game

I useally bump it up on on a couple of turn

but mostly I like snakes

[young phoenix]

you play it because you like it, the rest doesnt matter as much since the fun you get from it outweight the cost and reward of the card in the game, i would call it a pet card in this case

i play tons of bad cards in my decks, but i can only put so many in a deck before it no longer function well in a game, so there is a limit of how many i can build into a deck

its not even competitiveness anymore if my deck doesnt work

[north glen]

I see

[young phoenix]

i havent finished the deck but i will be putting toward a [[progenitus]] commander with [[gyruda doom of depths]] as companion, with the high mana cost and card restriction, it means i will have to find wants to get as many lands and mana fixing in order to play anything at all. decks with lower mana curve usually dont have that same issue and every deck can supposedly run a sol ring

also, restrictions breed creativity, so i think it is fine if you want a card in a deck, but you have to evaluate the reasoning behind the card or it would just be a pile of a mess

Hey everyone!

I'm hoping to group-source some ideas for what to cut from my Isshin list.

( https://archidekt.com/decks/15498179 )

I have some of the cards already (Isshin, Shadowfax, Shock Brigade, Dalkovan Packbeasts, Nightblade Brigade, Zurgo's Vanguard, Bone-Cairn Butcher, and Mardu Siegebreaker) and unless they really don't work, I'd like to keep them to reduce the purchase price of the deck and use some fun cards that don't have homes right now.

Any advice or suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Trying to Upgrade my teval precon to a strong 3 - any suggestions? https://moxfield.com/decks/OOgLQFL8JEG9FsIXQ4SH3w

[thin crest]

Looking for some players opinions - would I be disingenuous calling this a bracket 3 deck?

https://moxfield.com/decks/Xj1khOAfdkCebURirNIMzA

I know MM'menon is pretty strong on his own and is often compared to Urza, I intentionally tried to avoid going really heavy on the whole cheerios thing though, really I built this more because I wanted to make a dumb artifact aggro deck that could use Virulent Silencer well, that evolved into even sillier antics making a spaceships aggro deck, so it literally runs every spacecraft except the Elevator dude that just makes tons of mana, but in general the whole deck was built more with "space vibes" in mind than power. That being said, it does play cost-reducers, Senseis Top, and a fair amount of artifact tutors (that I always use to get fun stuff like big spaceships or Blood Forged Battleaxe) so I just dont want people to feel that I've been dishonest if I use the 3 card combo of Mm'menon + Top + reducer later in the game.

theres also Prologue to Phyresis + Radstorm in the deck, do people consider that a 2-card combo even though it also requires a high storm count?

i wouldnt be opposed to calling it bracket 4 at all but if so I'd probably add some of my fast mana and a couple more, stronger, counterspells if so

[gilded horizon]

is there some possibility on moxfield or edhrec or any related site to sort by % of cards owned?
Because a lot of the decks are very hard to build for myself given ... well ... I am a beginner and I kind of like having to build with what I got.

[wooden breach]

Honestly? Do that

I've put together like, 3 new decks based on cards I just found fitting around in my collection. Once those are put together, you can register them on Moxfield as part of what you own

Then when you look at a new deck, it should tell you which cards you have and don't have

Like dis

Blue check is "You have that specific version", gray check is "You have this but a different version"

hm I guess I can then use this feature to look up interesting decks in general and them compare against my collection.

Hey yall. I am wanting to build a rule zero (I'd be breaking two rules) commander deck with Chandra and nissa as commander partners. My question to yall is two fold: Which Chandra and Nissa do you think pair well? And is there a reliable way to search for cards with art featuring particular characters? Looking to fill the deck with cards featuring the girls.

Oh, I'm also trying to keep it bracket 3 or lower. Don't want to also power creep a deck that is already violating commander rules.

[wooden breach]

Having nissa means being in green so you already have creature tutors there

It really depends on what kind of cards you're searching for

While Chandra is only red, Nissa has 2 versions that are 2 colors: [[Nissa of Shadowed Boughs]] and [[Nissa Steward of Elements]]

I'd recommend one of those two, as those give you the most amount of tutors to work with, especially Shadowed

As for pairings for these 2 nissas, for Shadowed there's a lot of synergy with discarding, so [[Chandra Ablaze]] has you covered.

I think you may be misunderstanding me. I'm not looking for the most tutors. I was wanting to search the internet for cards with Chandra or nisss on them. I'd like to feature them on as many cards as possible.

Regarding the color pairing, I would prefer either of the the two color nissas, but I'm still open to ideas there.

[tribal spear]

i have a deckbuilding question. I want to make a bracket 3 deck but im worried about having "early game" 2 card infinite combos. Im not sure exactly what that means or whether I would have to remove cards that are just generally good in the deck to avoid the situation. two that have come up are toralf + blasphemous act (how early it is is situational to how many creatures are being played) and another is boros reckoner + take up the shield (needs damage to activate, does that make it a 3 card combo because it doesnt go infinite without it or is it two card because I can swing and if it gets blocked use the instant to get infinite lifegain). Either way, even outside of the combos I would want those cards in the deck. What do you guys think?

[dark void]

none of those are 2c infinites

perfectly fine in b3

[tribal spear]

edhrec specifically calls out blasphemous act + toralf as illegal in bracket 3, i think thats kind of a weird choice which is why i wanted other peoples opinions.

https://edhrec.com/combos/mono-red/1775-2484

[dark void]

i wouldnt really follow edhrec that closely for this

[tribal spear]

fair enough. at the same time i can see how it would be annoying if someone got infinite lifegain on turn 4. its not like I would be running tutors for the combo or anythign

[dark void]

brackets are all about vibes and intent

if ur rly concerned u can just take out toralf

i dont know what ur commander is

but personally i wouldnt worry about it too much

if u notice ur getting some feelsbad games from playing the cards u can always take them out later

[tribal spear]

yeah thats true, its for firesong and sunspeaker so toralf is like one of the best cards in the deck lol

[dark void]

yeah ur 100% fine

[exotic path]

@young phoenix do you mean of a commander deck?

Sure, here is one

https://moxfield.com/decks/Wse9gOf9JEiAPyXaqmKvhQ

[young phoenix]

is that 40 lands

[exotic path]

yes

8 MDFCs, but 40 lands total

[young phoenix]

do you have one with no MDFC

[exotic path]

Id always run MDFCs in basically any deck that could unless its 5 colors

the untap MDFCs basically cost nothing to put into most decks

[young phoenix]

it cost $

and they can be land OR spells

so it doesnt help with the 40 lands point you are trying to proof

[exotic path]

exactly, they are dynamic, and let you hit 40 lands while having spells when you have excess

It does, because when you need a land they are a land

and most come in untapped if you need it down early

[young phoenix]

i mean, if you want to bring a gun to a fist fight, no one is going to stop you

and you will probably win that fight

[exotic path]

My point has always been that the existence of MDFCs, channel lands, cycling lands, Final Fantasy lands, and strong utility lands makes it very easy to up your land count to 40+, and there is very little drawback to do so with them now.

Flooding is offset by strong utility lands and you limit your chances of mana screw

[young phoenix]

otherwise, you would need say "play 40 lands, but with 8 MDFCs"

[exotic path]

I mean MDFCs are lands

[young phoenix]

not just "every deck need to run 40 lands"

[exotic path]

they do though

Would you calsl this a 0 land deck?

https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-belcher-e9e93d4f-ed4a-44f6-9173-f8bd560e3900#paper

[young phoenix]

thats not 100 cards singleton

where we going

dont play modern, no idea why there is a basic in sideboard, maybe when they get path'ed by the opponent?

well, to get the point across, i think you need to show a deck that has lands, that can only be played as lands, and still doesnt get consistently flooded

not every deck is going to be playing fetches just because they are the best in the game

not every deck can have T1 ramp nor a T2 play unless they are using 2 drop mana rocks

0/1

[young phoenix]

so most non-green, limited-budget deck are stuck with ramp that are referred as "hot gabage" like that article stated

[exotic path]

This feels like an attempt to move the goal posts

there are tons of utility lands that have multiple functions, why would you deliberately not run them?

[exotic path]

or they could run more lands, ramp, even green ramp based on that article are considered hot garbage if you have to play one and not have a land to follow it up

[young phoenix]

because you stating "every decks need to play 40 lands to hit that curve" completely ignore the fact that you are adding MDFCs

[exotic path]

MDFCs can bep layed on curve

[young phoenix]

you didnt say "you need to play MDFC"

[exotic path]

MDFCs = lands

[young phoenix]

this applies to MDFCs too

and we didnt even get to a point of time where MDFC lands with no downside wasnt a thing

so this wont get anywhere

i think it will be hard for you to convince most players to put 40 lands in the 99. and i dont need to explain why i think that

[crystal wasp]

anyone know a good list for a budget mono black zombie deck?

what kinda of budget? commander?

zombie isnt exactly a strong/well supported archetype imo, but with a few good zombie card/ core power house, it is still decent at doing something

[crystal wasp]

i have my whole collection up at moxfield if that'd help? idk if theres like a way to search for decklists that include cards from my collection lol

[young phoenix]

hmm

since there are hardly any mono black precons, i dont think you can use the exact cards to get a full deck

lot of recent zombies go into esper colours as well

[young phoenix]

i guess you will have to see what cards you already have and what seems to be missing, since having one colour is part of the restrictive fun of deck brewing

if you see multi colour zombie deck, you can narrow it down to cards that can be played in mono black and draw inspiration from there

Locket of Yesterdays <:mana1:292901508373282827>

Artifact
Spells you cast cost less to cast for each card with the same name as that spell in your graveyard.
Every hour, at the turning of the glass, its owner had whispered to the locket, seeding it with secrets. This would be her legacy, her memory, if the rifts should take her.

A really funny one is [[chatterfang squirrel general]]

Chatterfang, Squirrel General <:mana2:292901509060886528><:manag:292901508654301185>

Legendary Creature — Squirrel Warrior
Forestwalk (This creature can't be blocked as long as defending player controls a Forest.)
If one or more tokens would be created under your control, those tokens plus that many 1/1 green Squirrel creature tokens are created instead.
, Sacrifice X Squirrels: Target creature gets +X/-X until end of turn.
3/3

[wooden breach]

Cause when you make a slime, the counters go on the slime AND the squirrel token

[sand oracle]

I'd considered everything you mentioned except for that last one. I was not aware of that last one.

[wooden breach]

Yeah. Replacement Effects™ are silly things. It's a good spot for cards like Slime cause it makes chatterfang go kinda crazy

[sand oracle]

I'm mostly torn between:

• Katilda and Lier: The flashback synergy is really good and the irony of a Humans Matters commander playing "Slime Against Humanity" is just peak design.
• Umori, the Collector: The avatar of the namesake card, synergizing perfectly with both the cost reduction of 30+ sorceries, and comboing with black extirpate effects.
• Illuna, Apex of Wishes: The combo commander. Exile a chunk of cards, hit a combo piece, and now all your ooze cast for more going forward. If the commander ever dies, suddenly a spare ooze is lethal commander damage.
• Flubs, the Fool: An oddly synergistic commander that gets to also play with all of Illuna's toys.
• Storm, Force of Nature: Another very synergist commander that gets all the RUG toys.
• Shalai and Hallar: This is probably the most powerful commander.
• Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar: This is probably the most under rated commander.
• Sovereign Okinec Ahau: The Yang to Kutzil's Yin.
• Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second: This is probably the most interesting commander.

[wooden breach]

A common theme I'm noticing is you like RUG

That trims down decisions quite a bit

[sand oracle]

I kind of want to steer away from "need the commander out to work and the commander is a threat" so that pushes me away from Storm, Force of Nature, Shalai and Hallar, Sovereign Okinec Ahau, and Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second.

Umori, the Collector feels like it'll rarely die, but it's kind of expensive and slow to deploy. Katilda and Lier also has that slow set up vibe.

Flubs, the Fool feels a bit faster, enabling discarding oozes so the first one is larger than a 2/2 and enabling ramp right out the gate. It feeds into itself and lets me play with many of the cards I like in Illuna.

Illuna, Apex of Wishes feels too good. Maybe it's fine, just ramping into the best part of the deck right away, and the 7-10 permanents can give the deck variety. But it could also get stale fast.

Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar is hard to remove, unassuming, but kind of slow to set up.

CHATTERFANG... I hadn't considered that. Are two oozes for the price of one worth playing this instead of anything else?

[sand oracle]

I really do like the RUG 99 card choices. There's so many "copy this niche spell" effects.

[wooden breach]

That narrows things down to Flubs or Illuna since you're being pushed away from Storm

[sand oracle]

I think if I want variety, Flub might be the way to go. And if I want consistency, Illuna might be the way to go.

[wooden breach]

And which one do you want more? Variety or consistency?

[sand oracle]

I want to experience it all 😂

Which is why choosing has been so difficult.

Looking at deck lists, all of them look so unique and fun.

[wooden breach]

Well then how about this: Come up with a 99 you like and go from there

You're in RUG so you're gonna be using one or the other without changing card colours anyway

[sand oracle]

Heck, I could build both. There's probably going to be a LOT of overlap in the 99, and it might just be 20ish cards different between them,

What are your thoughts on the other commander options for Slimes?

[wooden breach]

I personally think the best variants are the ones that let you clown around with your graveyard, since Slime doesn't care if they're in graveyard or exile

[[tasigur the golden fang]] comes to mind

[rare escarp]

Tasigur, the Golden Fang <:mana5:292901508796645386><:manab:292901508872273920>

Legendary Creature — Human Shaman
Delve (Each card you exile from your graveyard while casting this spell pays for .)
: Mill two cards, then return a nonland card of an opponent's choice from your graveyard to your hand.
4/5

[sand oracle]

My friend would hate me if I played Tasigur, lol. We just convinced him to pick another commander because it was a BUG good-stuff deck that really didn't do anything except play 20 game changers.

[sand oracle]

I'm really drawn to Illuna and GB for Surgical Extraction effects because of this synergy.

[wooden breach]

One of my buddies has a modern deck that does that lol

Exiles 20 slimes then on turn 2-3 plays a +20 power slime
