I think you have a high enough density of humans to run [[vanquisher's banner]] over the Lifecrafter's Bestiary

I think you're a little light on lands. I get that you have a 2drop commander that turns everything into dorks, but you'd hate to see Katilda get Lightning Bolted early and then not be able to recast them

#

I'd likely swap in two lands for Kogla/Gilraen and Leyline of Abundance

#

Given the 6 boardwipe protection spells you have, you might be incentivized to run an additional boardwipe yourself (or at least swap to one less restrictive) to combo

#

Lastly, I will point out you do have an infinite combo of Gilraen + Village Bell Ringer + Katilda + two other humans. Pretty neat

or do you mean my current wipe (verdict) is too narrow and I should run more / a different one

#

Are the combos just there to occasionally say "oh, I win" or are you hoping to pull them off consistently?

#

I ask because the chance to naturally draw Kogla + Eternal Witness + Call to Arms (or Eladamri's call for one of the creatures) is just 2.71% after drawing 20 cards (or 13.83% for Kogla + Bellringer)

#

Adding Gilraen into the mix puts you around a 30% chance to draw a combo assuming you're 20 cards deep.

#

I'm specifically saying lands. Low land count is fine if you have lots of mana sources, but your mana sources all hinge on your commander; and a 1/1 stat line is rather fragile

#

You could potentially try a [[weathered wayfinder]] type effect or other human that tutors lands in some fashion? https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=(oracle%3Aland+oracle%3Asearch)+type%3Ahuman+commander%3AWG+(game%3Apaper)

You don't need to hit every land drop every turn, but even quick decks like this still want to hit their first 4-5 lands consistently

#

There's also certainly something to be said about lowering your board wipe protection effects as they're not really the kind of effect you want multiple in hand

#

Inspiring Call is definitely the least reliable of your options given that you only have 12 ways to add counters to creatures (and a lot of those are only to one creature rather than spread across your board)

#

Ooo, thinking about it, [[Knight of the Reliquary]] could also be a very powerful tool as you've already got some powerful lands and there's a handful of others that could be worth running instead of the less powerful nonbasics you're currently running

[[Minas tirith]] [[war room]] [[restless prairie]] are all great at providing some late game value for decks with inconsistent card draw

Minas Tirith

Legendary Land
Minas Tirith enters tapped unless you control a legendary creature.
manat: Add manaw.
mana1manaw, manat: Draw a card. Activate only if you attacked with two or more creatures this turn.

As is, you're running a few of lands that require some frequency of basics (or at least typed lands) to be good, but you've got so few of them that they'd frequently be tapped lands. I'm specifically talking about Fortied Village and to a lesser extent Canopy Vista

thank you thank you

#

Vanquish the Horde is pretty nice to combo with a protection spell as you'll likely contribute some number of creatures towards the discount?

#

otherwise, [[wrath of god]] is a classic for a reason

there's entire modern decks built around that creature

true

Emeria seems ambitious, but [[blast zone]] could be powerful given how much mana you expect to have

Blast Zone

Land
Blast Zone enters with a charge counter on it.
manat: Add manac.
manaxmanax, manat: Put X charge counters on Blast Zone.
mana3, manat, Sacrifice Blast Zone: Destroy each nonland permanent with mana value equal to the number of charge counters on Blast Zone.

Kinda hard for me to answer that for you. It's really going to depend on how frequently you find her getting killed. I know my group would kill her on sight everytime (they take the concept of "bolt the bird very seriously), but that's not necessarily true for your group.

#

I'd say test it out without the bonus katilda effects and keep track of how frequently she was removed

Ah yep. A hazard of playing low cmc commanders

#

(I also play low cmc commanders, it's worth it)

What do you like?

#

I built ratadrabik because I wanted a lotho deck without buying a lotho deck lol

I build a lot of odd decks:

  • Mono Green Umori Mill
  • Rigo Proliferate
  • 4c Clue polymorph
  • Mono Black Ashnod

And my pride of the oddities: [[Rograkh]] and [[silas renn]] but Rograkh is the only red card and purely used for ninjutsu
