Would be boring AF

warped flare
#

somewhere along that line, just so its barely not strictly better arcane signet

novel bramble
#

I wouldnt mind Solring at 2 mana

warped flare
#

and the colour identity will be irrelevant if Wotc are willing to go that low

#

sol ring is just a game changer that doesnt go on the game changer list

novel bramble
warped flare
#

dont need more game changers in bracket 2 than a single sol ring

novel bramble
#

Here btw, I wasnt sure where I was going at first so anything that mention equipments just pass on it

#

Not done yet ofc, I'm looking through a shit ton of legendaries

warped flare
#

[[rem karolus stalward slayer]] does this interest you at all

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

I'll prioritise anything that says recursion

warped flare
#

i do want to find a deck to play [[archangel avacyn]]

zealous ridgeBOT
#

Legendary Creature โ€” Angel
Flash
Flying, vigilance
When Archangel Avacyn enters, creatures you control gain indestructible until end of turn.
When a non-Angel creature you control dies, transform Archangel Avacyn at the beginning of the next upkeep.
4/4

Avacyn, the Purifier
Legendary Creature โ€” Angel
Flying
When this creature transforms into Avacyn, the Purifier, it deals 3 damage to each other creature and each opponent.
"Wings that once bore hope are now stained with blood. She is our guardian no longer." โ€”Grete, cathar apostate
6/5

novel bramble
#

I think its gimmicky but not useless

#

Better call Sorin

warped flare
#

XD not a bad theme deck if you can pull it off

novel bramble
#

Fun part: She loses Vigilance when she transforms

warped flare
#

true

novel bramble
#

Angel of hope is in tho: Recursion decks get away with that.

warped flare
#

not too sure how it happened but i guess it has something to do with

#

her guarding the people and losing hope

#

and gave up defending those

novel bramble
#

Also she's red

warped flare
#

[[!angel of hope ]]

๐Ÿ™„

novel bramble
#

Knew you would love it

warped flare
#

inb4 you put MLD in there

#

at least 75% of the people i played against

novel bramble
#

Whos mld?

warped flare
#

also put MLD with avacyn

#

the name not to be said out loud

#

MLD

#

B4 stax powerlevel

novel bramble
#

Oh Mass land Des

#

nanana

warped flare
#

if it is used fairly i think its fine

novel bramble
#

I dont make B4 decks

warped flare
#

i know

#

you know i dont believei n game changers

#

but some cards are just more salty for a reason

novel bramble
#

[[planetary anni]] is the only fair one imo

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

Anyway gtg, ttyl

warped flare
#

its like someone having to explain they dont have the two card infinite after they play one of the piece [[sanguine bond]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

ttyl

#

or they say nothing ๐Ÿ˜ถ

warped flare
#

last of all i think dihada being a somewhat budget deck would be reasonable, maybe with some exceptions but not all super expensive high power good stuff

#

so it makes you think twice about auto includes staples like mox amber

#

[[extus, blood avatar]]

zealous ridgeBOT
#

Legendary Creature โ€” Human Warlock
Double strike
Magecraft โ€” Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, return target nonlegendary creature card from your graveyard to your hand.
"Join me for the dawn of a new age."
2/4

Awaken the Blood Avatar mana6manabmanar
Sorcery
As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. This spell costs mana2 less to cast for each creature sacrificed this way.
Each opponent sacrifices a creature of their choice. Create a 3/6 black and red Avatar creature token with haste and "Whenever this token attacks, it deals 3 damage to each opponent."

warped flare
#

dang its non legendary only

#

idk if you need [[serra s emissary]] feels like its only a bit better than [[filth]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

i believe there are now better sun titans in the game that cost less

#

[[worn shaku]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

can tap other legendary including dihada

#

super friend subtheme would be interesting too with [[luxior gift]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

i think there is a thing similar to [[koll the forgemaster]] that can bring back tokens of stuff that died

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

idk about the dwarf treasure theme tho

#

hard to do that one

#

[[seven dwarfs]] tight list

zealous ridgeBOT
#

No card found for โ€œyoshimaru ever loyalโ€

#

Multiple cards match โ€œyoshimaruโ€, can you be more specific?

#

No card found for โ€œyoshimaru loyalโ€

#

No card found for โ€œyushimaru everโ€

warped flare
#

auto include

novel bramble
#

Best doggo is ofc in strong consideration

novel bramble
#

Im at 250 cards. Good place to start trimming manab manab manab

novel bramble
#

Thats the problem when there's so much legendaries

#

Welp, one category at a time. Draw, then Ramp, then Recursion, then Interactions, then Boardwipes and wonder how I can cut 20+cards now.

#

Honestly I think I'm set on the card draw package. I really like cards like Mangara and Trouble in Pairs

#

[[Smuggler's Share]] too since it works both draw and ramp

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

There's always a green player somewhere

warped flare
#

white is basically trying to be green

#

unless you go heavy red, there's not very many bad cards in commander

novel bramble
#

[[$ the soul stone]]

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

Calm the fuck down lol

novel bramble
#

Damn, what to keep as recursion depends on what I end up keeping as creatures. Gotta end with it then

novel bramble
#

Welp, thats not good. "First draft" done and I got 160+ cards

warped flare
#

i havent got a clear idea on exactly what to cut, but i think there is a bit too many reanimate or things at the higher 4-5 mana curve

#

things after 6+ is somewhat irrelvant as those are only reanimate targets

#

if there are better 4 drops before commander, it s probably okay to play dihada one turn later

#

[[collector's vault]] why do i see this so often in people's build. its jsut an awful card in the 99

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

i wouldnt even want it if my commander is [[zirda dawn]]

zealous ridgeBOT
#

Legendary Creature โ€” Elemental Fox
Companion โ€” Each permanent card in your starting deck has an activated ability. (If this card is your chosen companion, you may put it into your hand from outside the game for mana3 as a sorcery.)
Abilities you activate that aren't mana abilities cost mana2 less to activate. This effect can't reduce the mana in that cost to less than one mana.
mana1, manat: Target creature can't block this turn.
3/3

warped flare
#

repeatable looting after mana4 , mana6 so on, is really bad rate. no increase in card advantage, even green has better ways to make treasure

#

the activation cost on that card killed 90% of its potential

#

due to honor worn shaku's manac , instead of talisman, you can consider guild pair signet

#

[[alesha who laughs at fate]] this one i havent played too much, not sure how much it do in the 99

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

[[recruiter of the guard]] is unecessary when you dont even have room in the 99, i think its better for future upgrade after you know how well the deck functions

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

[[trouble in pair]] very generic good stuff, really have no synergy with the commander, i consider it one of those future upgrades

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

category

#

did you have other elesh norn deck or they are in almost all your decks? i think you want to pick the 1 or 2 with the best synergy but not all of them

#

[[unburial rites]] is about the highest rate i can accept for reanimation, once it goes over 5 mana, will have to think twice before putting it in

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

[[incarnation techique]] is ofc an exception and rakdos joins up is legendary with side -burn strategy

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

on the fence about [[sevinnes reclamation]] for the reason; if cast from grave, it cost 5

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

if it doubles as a ramp spell, then maybe let it through, but in that case it would not be consider a reanimate spell

#

[[phyrexian reclamation]] is a bit odd, because things re better in the grave than in your hand

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

with certain exception or combo-like engine

#

its kinda nice card advantage too depends

#

[[chainer, nightmare ad]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

yeah, dont need that, odrici is much stronger

#

in a deck that focus on self mill and reanimate, i actually feels like the value of TPro decreases in the 99, but neverless it is just a unbalanced good card. generic upgrade category

#

i think my chainer deck was the one i failed the most on, probably because i built it as a hellbent deck

#

not enough supports and struggle with card advantage

#

i feel like [[path to exile]] is not needed when you have white black, just much stronger removal option with no reward for the opponent

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

if i hate my opponent, i would rather [[despark]] but thats my subjective choice of removal

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

there is another one that exile a thing with~~ more than~~ one colour

#

[[vanishing verse]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

i go for those two over path unless i have the option of exiling my own token for emergency ramp

#

otherwise, i think i still value (non creature) removal [[fracture]] a bit more than creature only removal

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

because i can boardwipe, and 95% of the boardwipe i play cannot be counted by a [[heroic intervention]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

creature wipe is also a nice touch when your commander isnt one, or give that creature indestructible

#

side note would just be extra synergy with things like [[ardbert warrior of darkness]] with orzhov spells

zealous ridgeBOT
#

Legendary Creature โ€” Spirit Warrior
Whenever you cast a white spell, put a +1/+1 counter on each legendary creature you control. They gain vigilance until end of turn.
Whenever you cast a black spell, put a +1/+1 counter on each legendary creature you control. They gain menace until end of turn.
"Always we took the burden of fighting upon ourselves. That's what heroes do, isn't it?"
2/2

warped flare
#

i dont like mayhem devil too much in here because its not like you are going to get 10+ damage from it alone in your deck. if its not a perfect match up or giving treasures away, i think its worse than [[mirkwood bat]] in the 99 here

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

a bit sad you cut of [[lixior gift]]

zealous ridgeBOT
#

No card found for โ€œlixior giftโ€

warped flare
#

[[luxior ga 's gift]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

[[dragon breath]] too bad this is too janky for your deck

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

i use it when i have alot of high cmc creatures and commander is also in range

#

can sometimes politic an attack toward others

#

worst Urabrask is my go-to haste enabler

#

and never forget this, Odric Triggers on EACH combat

#

avacyn is strong, but also a little overkill when you can already give your creature indes before each boardwipe

#

in terms of power, i think i would rate valgavoth and/or piru below avacyn

#

i would consider cutting one of those 3, ofc olivia has slightly more synergy since it gives you a treasure, and has haste to trigger other things include its own ability

#

so it would be between sister or idemnity

#

sun titan is close to a no-way for me

#

[[holga relentless rager]] being a red secert lair card is by default more interesting to me

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

i think [[sheoldred//scriptures]] at its cost with mardu legend is underwhelming

zealous ridgeBOT
#

Legendary Creature โ€” Phyrexian Praetor
Menace
When Sheoldred enters, each opponent sacrifices a nontoken creature or planeswalker of their choice.
mana4manab: Exile Sheoldred, then return it to the battlefield transformed under its owner's control. Activate only as a sorcery and only if an opponent has eight or more cards in their graveyard.
4/5

The True Scriptures
Enchantment โ€” Saga
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter.)
I โ€” For each opponent, destroy up to one target creature or planeswalker that player controls.
II โ€” Each opponent discards three cards, then mills three cards.
III โ€” Put all creature cards from all graveyards onto the battlefield under your control. Exile this Saga, then return it to the battlefield (front face up).

warped flare
#

too much powerful stuff in white when it comes to creature removal

#

3 for 1 is the only thing going for it but its opponent's choice

#

i love playing the card, but mainly because i dont have white available to most of my decks

#

if its my budget consideration, then mother of machine is the one i would never have, along with the salty that comes with it

#

i think it is one of those that may feel too salty even at B3 power level

#

love playing with [[karduar doomscourge]] too bad it has no synergy, its more like a one time fog

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

you can just do powerful removal instead of redirecting combat else where

#

if a good effect happens, i want to be able to copy it with [[the peregrine dynamo]] to make it worth

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

so the type of ability on something also matters

#

[[boromir, warden of the tower]] generically good, okay here but is just a 3/3 body that can come out early. its on par with a [[selfless spirit]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

self sac is nice if you need to dodge target exile

#

to reanimate later

#

instead of the phyrexian reclamation i am more favourited toward [[oversold cemetery]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

so the ramp you have i am completely fine with, although it maybe too much

#

only 7 of those have nothing to do with legendary but are efficient stuff

#

i think this deck is almost in the B4 bracket when
the best stuff [[ragavan nimble pilferer]] is involved

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

Recursion i would be able to cut just below 20 cards

OH another card i noticed, unmarked grave has no good place in the deck

frank vortex
#

flash engines are very good in evelyn e.g [[fae trickster]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
frank vortex
#

that being said, i think your density of vampires is quite high

#

lord of lineage champion of dusk won't get great mileage bc you're not go wide

warped flare
#

it was what the original thread was about, a B4 super salty vampire deck

#

the deck had leyline of anticipation in it at some point, idr if vodalken orrery was there or not

frank vortex
#

vedalken ornery is a bit more questionable bc its 4 mana sorcery speed

warped flare
#

yeah but not this thread topic anymore

#

[[dihada, binder of wills]] is the current deck

zealous ridgeBOT
#

Legendary Planeswalker โ€” Dihada
+2: Up to one target legendary creature gains vigilance, lifelink, and indestructible until your next turn.
โˆ’3: Reveal the top four cards of your library. Put any number of legendary cards from among them into your hand and the rest into your graveyard. Create a Treasure token for each card put into your graveyard this way.
โˆ’11: Gain control of all nonland permanents until end of turn. Untap them. They gain haste until end of turn.
Dihada, Binder of Wills can be your commander.
Loyalty: 5

warped flare
#

plan is -3 "draw engine", create treasures and mill powerful legends to reanimate

#

the most unique thing i can find would be Bomir, turn loyal retainer into a legendary, then copy the activated ability with Peregrine dynamo

#

my hate on the angel of indemnity is because it cant bring back the good big shitters

#

Plus with the other recursion target you can bring her back as an in between so you have a flyer with lifelink on board on top of your actual target.

I think I lack a way to put back the reanimator creatures in the grave. A [[Phyrexian altar]] would be great I think

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

[[Ashnods altar]]

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

But no way to tutor for them is meh at best. Doesnt help the consistency

#

Is there a legendary creature that can sacrifice other creatures for a good buff?

novel bramble
#

In the same vein, only two of then stays on the bf. Self sac isnt that important.

#

How does this thread have over 5k comments lol

novel bramble
warped flare
#

nah you build too slow, we only did like 5-6 decks in a thread XD

novel bramble
#

Since Evelynn? I made 10 decks after her.

novel bramble
#

Another LGS, another Marchesa win; I'm now at 6/2 I believe? The deck is certainly very strong but not in an overwhelming way. The big trick is to make sure the guy playing big shitters is winning (Today was Voja, the biggest shitter of all) without looking like you're kingmaking him.

warped flare
#

part of the win is actually from, not making yourself the threat early on and wait for everyone to exhaust* their resources on each other. most decks cannot keep up at that point of the game

#

mid range imo is the strongest in commander

novel bramble
#

Funny part about this is that I'm always the guy with the lowest hp come mid game. No idea why it seems I'm always suspicious.

#

First draft done btw

#

Ended up cutting lands to 35 (Gasp)

#

I think the treasure ramp from Dihada makes up for it

#

I dont wanna cast my big shitters manually anyway

#

Next deck?

warped flare
#

rip ardbert darkness

#

wow you removed incarn techn

#

seems about cuts make sense

#

dihada deck gone through in like 2 days ๐Ÿ˜…

#

because i said you took too long?

#

why keep [[unmarked grave]] just for anger? i saw the message i missed

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

saw this the other day [[norn's decree]] [[$norns decree]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

too expensive for me to want one but its unique and interesting in multiplayer

#

i think it has potential to be use in place of ghostly prison eff

novel bramble
novel bramble
#

And all 3 are very good to have in grave

#

I'm still unsure on how im gonna get the bigs in the grave in the first place but for a first draft this looks fine

[[Cabbage merchant]]

#

Instant add to my Hobbits

#

What a riddiculous card

novel bramble
#

Actually, It could be a Commander by itself

#

I already have a food deck tho

#

Buuuut it would be much more different from my Hobbits. No way to weaponize the food that much

#

No access to Black

#

AND I don't have a mono green deck

#

Yeah I'll make a list. I'm inspired.

#

I like the character so there's also that

warped flare
#

Whenever a creature deals combat damage to you, sacrifice a Food token.
wow they added a super relevant downside ๐Ÿ™„
/s

#

mono colour deck i somewhat struggle with

#

that would probably be a bigger challenge for me too

#

mainly because i run like no $5+ cards

novel bramble
#

Very rough draft

#

I think I wanna go with the token route?

#

ofc anything that says "You get +1 for each artifact you control" or w/e is a clear in

#

Monsters like [[Honored Dreyleader]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

thought about that saga deck you had as i came across [[eidolon of countless battles]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

and here i see a [[thorn of eldraine]] at $25+ tax ๐Ÿคฎ

zealous ridgeBOT
#

No card found for โ€œthorn of eldraineโ€

warped flare
#

[[thron of eldraine]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

[[$thron of eldraine]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

i feel like if i am any bigger on mono colour, i would have ended up buying it

#

i dont need a NM condition, i will wait for a HP before i ever get one

warped flare
#

its like a [[mystic remora]] in the CZ

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

Jaheira will be good redundancy and overall token synergy if your commander goes away, but i think unless you are going storm/endless card draw and massive nearly XX spells, the commander tapping 2 food for 1 mana is mostly enough

#

so in a sense, jaheira is almost a win more card unless you have too few tokens to work with

#

or win harder in this case

#

personally, because jaheira is kinda already a commander herself, i would try to build without for more in flavour of the cabage commander

#

i want to free up the 99 for more fun things but thats me

#

urza sage is very much one of those, once it becomes the staple in your decks, it basically exist in all your decks

#

with all the green and artifact staples, this will end up as a 15- cards deck instead of 97 (sol ring arcane signet)

#

generic deck

#

Themewise, if everything on your board can tap for mana

#

and 1/4 of the deck is in your hand

#

[[displace dinosaur]] looks like a nice overrun set up, without blue cant play [[rise and shine]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

with lot of boardstate, craterhoof is the obvious win con

#

going tall after going wide can add to the exponential scaling

#

[[sarinth steelseeker]] looks like a must

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

[[flimmer balrn]] looks too cute and weak, unless there are evasion jank stuff

zealous ridgeBOT
#

No card found for โ€œflimmer balrnโ€

#

No card found for โ€œglimmer barlnโ€

warped flare
#

[[walker ballista]] feels more like an infinite combo win con

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

may have artifact synergy

#

[[compost]] is meta dependent, some decks has enough good stuff that it can afford a dead card in the 99

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

KCI is very much feared among players as a combo piece

#

its almost never uses as a honest mana ramp

#

the weakness of the commander may seems to be the taking damage part, but i think the real, and biggest weakness

#

is actually, no one, casting non creature spells

#

as long as the table is doing all creatures, then the things that give you the food value is from ramp, draw, utility, reactive spells, rather than the creture portion of the deck

#

so the downside is that, it is either extremely easy to make tons of food, or fail to get any, in the extreme case

#

not only do i think that fogs are not needed for the most part

#

no one have enough creatures to tap out just to get rid of your cabbage

#

it is an upside if food get sacrificed as it can trigger more of your abilities

#

[[inspired statuary]] may finally be in the right deck here?

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

[[nettlyst]] [[herd heirloom]] [[tarrian soulcleaver]] haste boots s and food stuff do make sense to stay, but i would cut down on the artifact as much as i can

zealous ridgeBOT
#

No card found for โ€œnettlystโ€

warped flare
#

great henge do feel a bit weaker here since it will be less likely to see a 7 power creature and lot of the things are tokens/ early drops to come out, but its powerful enough staple to draw cards after that

#

[[heartwood storyteller]] i think you can further "punish" players from casting non creatures

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

almost like reverse Yshitola

#

as long as they are not [[nikya of the old ways]] you are set

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

imagine someone got stuck with a [[grind monitor]] XD that would be so sad that game

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

cabbage merchant is a friendly [[gaddock teeg]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

or maybe [[kambal consul of allocation]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

both i never played myself or want to see at my table

#

๐Ÿ˜…

#

i only went as far as using [[souless jailer]] myself

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

oh lol i found this thing [[nullhide ferox]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

i would add [[yeva nature herald]] in as well

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

but most creatures should have some form of token synergy if not create tokens itself

#

instead of [[trouble maker ouphe]] i would go for the standard 3 mana elf

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

[[bramble sovereign]] may have a nice spot since it can copy just about anything

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

the double value on anything in this deck should be crazy amount of scaling

#

and it will trigger all the "when you create, do one more" eff

#

from the "do nothing" with lot of small tokens to sudden overwhelm the table with a food fight

#

i am still not too sure how to make the most of food alone

#

what is there other than going for wide board cratherhoof

#

i think i listed 3 cards that isnt in the deck, i want to cut lot of the lower scaling things (starting with 2 drops) and find the big value after 3-4 mana curve

#

meh on [[feasting hobbit]] looks like a big price to pay

Creature decks are a weakness, sure, but people always plays ramp anyway. and my meta has a lot of varied players, but big creatures-only decks are rare.

#

And I don't agree that the deck's main path is tokens; this decks ramp like a motherfucker, so you can go pretty much w/e you want really. Big scary shit, Tokens, even artifacts like my Bello.

#

Its biggest drawback is being mono green, because I wouldve loved to play Chatterfang in this

warped flare
warped flare
#

i dont think you are limited to tokens (or has to do tokens), i just think its the most obvious build around. and what i meant about "walking balista infinite" is more so how the card can be preceived as a combo piece

#

most of the food synergy are token matter cards

novel bramble
#

Sure, its the obvious one but not the only one

#

Still the one I'll use

#

now

#

I'm not sure Fog effects are that necessary, but green is not great at boardwiping

#

We can become the artifact/enchantment police quite easily

#

Creature interaction is meh at best

#

I think being able to tutor for pieces will be important

#

I still think Jaheira and Night of the sweets revenge are important since it doubles your accessible mana

novel bramble
#

I don't think I need much ramp. One mana ramp to get Merchant out T2 is nice though.

novel bramble
#

Lower land count seems fair here. Don't think I'll go over 35, maybe down to 32?

#

First draft, I'm gonna cut soon

warped flare
warped flare
zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

hmm not this thing

#

there is a construct that can sac 3 to tutor anything into play

#

i think 32 is too low, unless you go into Cedh mana base with lot of fast mana

#

32 lands basically means you avg land is no more than 3

#

so 4 drop is where you will miss the land drop. and then it rules out lot of the 5+ drops you can play in your colour as well

novel bramble
warped flare
#

yeah, my whole analysis was based on your way of building

#

which basically say that 85% of the deck is already set in stone

novel bramble
#

Yeah Ill start with 35 lands, and I'll let the commander pay the difference

#

Youre saying I'm boring lol

warped flare
#

๐Ÿ™„ oh no you catch me, jk

#

No worries Idc about that

its an efficient way of building deck and play style

#

but no room for that commander fun stuff

#

i am the extreme case where i m willing to tap out and drop a [[mana flare]] that will help the entire table with out asking for direct return

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

I see myself as a Challenging player to play against. When youre looking to test your shit vs serious opponents that will always try to win I'm the guy you look for.

#

Having fun is also the plan ofc. I'm not a salty player at all

warped flare
#

if i want to be mean, i can have all the [[arcane lab]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

and slowly making sure the table cant deal with me

#

so i am just more of the extreme case of, "either full fun mode, or full salt mode"

#

playing (any) games competitively force myself to get a ridiculous high win%

#

its more justified imo when i do 1vs1, in 1vs 3 i feel bad XD

novel bramble
#

Oh im 100% casual. Being competitive for commander makes no sense to me

warped flare
#

<.< you should try play more "bad" cards

#

subjectively bad

novel bramble
#

Theres a lot of janky players at my LGS playing bad cards that do bad and never win anything

#

Theres also janky players with actually strong decks

#

But that's not my playstyle

warped flare
#

[[Pygmy Kavu]] this has one good deck to go into

[[Transmutation font]] the card you were talking about earlier

I'll check it out

#

Another LGS, another marchesa win (I think im at 7/2 now)

#

You can always count on someone to have a huge board of scary creatures and swing for death into you.

#

[[Selfless Squire]]+Rogue's Passage secured the win

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

[[Soul Stone]] is out now

zealous ridgeBOT
#

Multiple cards match โ€œSoul Stoneโ€, can you be more specific?

novel bramble
#

[[The soul stone]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

yeah squire is surprisingly a good one, i had that from the group hug precon an it took me years to get that right

#

but since i had mostly basic mana base in a 4 colour deck, i cant really afford to use rouge passage

warped flare
novel bramble
#

Its certainly not OP, but good treat assessment to have an advantageous 1v1 vs someone with big creatures. The deck crumbles to combo and multiple tiny hits like Niv Mizzet and I got lucky enough to get rid of those first.

#

People love it a lot so far. Cant get mad from dying to your own power

novel bramble
#

Welp, LGS yesterday stacked 2 new losses for Marchesa, bringing it to 7-4. First game loss was to a combo deck who popped off extremely fast, 2nd game was because I wasnt able to draw one of my many answers to a big board. Infinite creatures would be the best for me usually. Bad luck.

#

On the other hand, Celestime finally won something. I think the deck is 1-5 or something lol

#

Cabbage man is pretty much done. I got 2 more cuts to make but Its ready for a test run.

#

So I've made; Dihada, Aragorn, Cabbage Merchant. I got Valgavoth and the village people left

warped flare
#

which aragorn?

#

mardu marchesa does remind me of my 2016 precon build around group hug theme, basically a late game mid range deck that is really good against decks that run out of resources but those games are 2+ hrs long

novel bramble
#

Aragorn King of Gondor.

Theres a lot of ways to build the Queen so its not obvious what I'm doing. Monarch, politics and aikido have a similar card structure too.

#

Those who know though... The guy yesterday attacked saying he's fine losing to a rakdos charm or w/e. Sadly I didnt have any of the tools.

#

I might tinker with a Raccoon deck too while I'm at it.

warped flare
#

oh yeah i forgot about that jeskai aragorn XD

#

i misplayed on midrange so many times in commander

#

its the hardest to play but the most satisfying to win with

warped flare
#

i think my worst deck is at a ~10% WR but its so fun

novel bramble
#

Half bad luck half just being a 5cmc commander that doesnt do anything on the turn she comes in unless I already have pieces of board

#

Half of my games I missed more than 2 land drops before T5

warped flare
#

when i cant do things with it, i get to in-respond with inappropriate joke

#

shes mono white right

novel bramble
#

I saw another list that looked super solid but there's combos inside

#

yeah

warped flare
#

maybe that one need more lands?

novel bramble
#

38

warped flare
#

yeah if you only play lands to get to T5 land drop

#

deck needs a lot

#

and white sucks at draw until you get the premium stuff

novel bramble
#

15 Ramp pieces, most being 3cmc+

#

Its not the best no, mono white is clearly the worst mono color I think

#

But hey, yesterday I popped off hard

#

Nobody had a board wipe to punish me flooding the board

#

and one Player was playing Mill so he filled my grave up

warped flare
#

nah mono red struggles more

#

white can off set its weakness

novel bramble
#

Hell no lol

warped flare
#

but limited to certain cards

novel bramble
#

One guy at my LGS plays Ragavan mono red and it's terrifying

warped flare
#

we can challenge to build the best of mono mana base?

#

well ragavan cheat T1 and treasure

#

without that in the commander zone

#

what else can you do

#

ritual is the best red has but then it double down on the card advantage weakness

#

if green always is 1 mana ahead of other colours

#

white can break even

#

red is half a step behind until they explode

novel bramble
#

White need to play catchup cards to keep up with green

#

Red can just explode

#

Also haste support> Vigilance/lifelink support

warped flare
novel bramble
#

Not a fair view lol

warped flare
#

and you know i am putting [[acheomancer's map]] in

zealous ridgeBOT
#

No card found for โ€œacheomancer's mapโ€

warped flare
#

still cant spell that name (โ•ฏยฐโ–กยฐ)โ•ฏ๏ธต โ”ปโ”โ”ป

novel bramble
#

No time to do that sorry, I'm tinkering on my Raccoon Deck rn

warped flare
#

its okay, you arent winning that unfair game of ramp XD

#

even [[temple of the false god]] cant save red since they have no proper land ramp

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

when i go over 38 lands i tend to put that in

novel bramble
#

They have treasure and sorceries to ramp

warped flare
#

meh, inconsistent ๐Ÿ˜… as a red player its painful

#

sometimes its like the difference of [[black market]] and [[revel in riches]]

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

I've seen enough Jeskai's will into a win

warped flare
#

<.< ofc you have to name the banned card for my B2 deck

#

dont mind me stealing your collection of proxies

novel bramble
#

What, you wanted to have a B2 contest?

warped flare
#

no, i mean i dont have that card

#

because i either have to buy a single, or the entire precon

novel bramble
#

Its like saying "Please my child has autism, fight with a blindfold and your hands behind your back and he has a gun don't move kthx"

warped flare
#

and i dont really play with the idea of building B3 in mind

#

so my decks automatically have no game changers in general

#

but rituals, red has like 20 of those

novel bramble
#

'Nyway, mono white is great at making everyone groan and hate you, mono red actually win

warped flare
#

they are just slightly worse [[dark ritual]] but are playable

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

eventually i will try to make the best mono red, and mono white mana base, you can be my judge when i do that

novel bramble
#

Sure

#

Here's a good idea for a pretty "bad" deck

warped flare
#

i will probably exclude the colourless stuff for comparison sake

novel bramble
#

I think Muerra is pretty mediocre as a commander

#

It's right in your alley ๐Ÿ˜‰

warped flare
#

nah thats playable i have done worse

novel bramble
#

Right now I got no direction

#

Tribal raccoon ofc

#

but besides that no idea

warped flare
#

first main phase, so the saga phase trigger

#

idk what are the best raccons but getting those out will be pretty good

novel bramble
#

I mean, "best raccoons"

#

They mostly suck

#

Not a lot of supports

warped flare
#

Turn X after commander out, untaps, will have like 6 mana, how to get to 8 for the advantage

#

i think the gain 3 is going to be consistent enough

novel bramble
#

What I think is to ramp hard with raccoons, then drop bombs like Apex Devastator and co to win

warped flare
#

maybe there is finially a place to play [[maskwood nexus]] ? :D

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

Expend 8 is what you're aiming for every turn

warped flare
#

ideally yeah but

#

you can also do that on other players turn

#

are we doing B3 with [[seedborn muze]] or no GC

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

those are the cheat code

novel bramble
#

ehhh, 8 mana is a lot to drop on another player's turn

warped flare
#

but timing wise its the best

novel bramble
#

Gotta go with X spells

warped flare
#

having all mana open, react to others doing things

novel bramble
#

Gruul

#

Reacting

#

sure

warped flare
#

in a perfect world

#

seedborn muse + flash is like 4 turns per turn

novel bramble
#

The nuts

warped flare
#

... you didnt know?

#

thats a green extra turn spell

novel bramble
#

well yeah, but it's not consistent

#

I mean, playing a X tutor green spell to fetch seedborn muse and put her directly unto the battlefield would work

warped flare
#

depends on how often you flash yourself

novel bramble
#

Preferably paying 8

#

I flash others everyday

warped flare
#

i am looking at the raccons, not at you

#

dont have my attention on whatever you doing

#

trying to figure out how to build a boardstate

novel bramble
#

My plan is not hidden with Muerra exiliing stuff every turn

warped flare
#

but thats just card draw

#

not building a board

#

my focus is on the raccon = mana

novel bramble
#

With seedborn muse + flash is pretty much building a board every players turn lol

warped flare
#

but you dont have natural flash when its creatures

novel bramble
#

Nope

#

Yeva and the Orrerry are the only things that can I think

warped flare
#

yeah one of my first decks was Yeva

#

but i didnt know how to build a proper deck so i have no consistent card draw engine or win con

#

๐Ÿ˜ข

#

sad times

novel bramble
#

Did it ever improve since?

warped flare
#

<.<

#

i mean i have no cards so bulk $20 deck are limited to harmonize as your best draw spell

#

oof

#

Theres a guy playing ultra budget at my LGS

with a 0% win rate so far at my tables

warped flare
#

ouch

baby me felt that

you need your king making deck

#

the goal is to make the weakest opponent win

Whenever you cast a spell, add manar. Until end of turn, you don't lose this mana as steps and phases end.
Creatures you control can boast twice during each of your turns rather than once.

ragavan is about the best you can get in red

When this enchantment enters, create two Treasure tokens.
The first spell you cast each turn that mana from a Treasure was spent to cast has cascade. (When you cast the 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 in a random order.)

warped flare

can also spend more mana than you have

but then the deck cant really do spellslinger into [[ashling fame dancer]]

zealous ridgeBOT

Legendary Creature โ€” Elemental Shaman
You don't lose unspent red mana as steps and phases end.
Magecraft โ€” Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, discard a card, then draw a card. If this is the second time this ability has resolved this turn, Ashling deals 2 damage to each opponent and each creature they control. If it's the third time, add manarmanarmanarmanar.

if you get 6 mana T4, i think [[etali primal storm]] is a fun enough threat that will eat a removal

otherwise, every 2 or less mana [[universal automaton]] is in, and that only gives me very few raccons to work with

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

i think maskwood nexus can be worth it

#

to make up for the lack of raccoons

#

the impulse draw may work with [[wild magic sorcerer]] too

zealous ridgeBOT

and for once, i think [[caterhoof behemoth]] may belong it here since it will expand 8 by itself, and the deck is going wide with winnies

Cascade, 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. Then do it again.)
Call Forth the Tempest deals damage to each creature your opponents control equal to the total mana value of other spells you've cast this turn.

#

nah that would be too good

#

you can get a token on opponent end step

#

then get another token on your turn

#

attack with 3 copies of the same thing

novel bramble
#

Yeah

warped flare
#

get like 9x triggers

novel bramble
#

what else can copy before 1st mainphase in gruul?

warped flare
#

what are you copying

novel bramble
#

[[Mirage mirror]] could work

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

Muerra, to trigger ramp and abilities twice

warped flare
#

i dont think that work

#

expand keep track of your turn

#

like "second card draw this turn"

#

"8 mana spent this turn*

novel bramble
#

Whats the problem?

warped flare
#

isnt muerra legendary

#

you dont keep both out

novel bramble
#

Derp thats right

#

argh

warped flare
#

lol

#

you are overthinking it

novel bramble
#

I love that card since knowing it.

#

Such a good card

#

Copies anything at instant speed, even lands

#

anything permanent*

warped flare
#

but it end on end step

novel bramble
#

its fine

warped flare
#

i played it in [[zirda wake dawn]]

zealous ridgeBOT

Legendary Creature โ€” Elemental Fox
Companion โ€” Each permanent card in your starting deck has an activated ability. (If this card is your chosen companion, you may put it into your hand from outside the game for mana3 as a sorcery.)
Abilities you activate that aren't mana abilities cost mana2 less to activate. This effect can't reduce the mana in that cost to less than one mana.
mana1, manat: Target creature can't block this turn.
3/3

warped flare
#

havent played it since

novel bramble
#

Copy Roaming throne, trigger shit a billion times for the turn

warped flare
#

but thats just roaming throne doing its thing

#

unless you want toolbox

#

getting every seedborn muze roaming throne out

novel bramble
#

It can copy something on opponent board too

#

the versatility of this card is insane

#

I'll play the big creature tutor spells that puts them on board

warped flare
#

but it decrease the deck synergy if you copy other peoples stuff

#

unles they have usper generic cards

#

i know i can copy something from your deck, but are you sure you can copy my jank

novel bramble
#

Could be good.

#

people always play some strong ETB effect

warped flare
#

green dont do the best artifact supports

novel bramble
#

I'M surprised you of all people aren't drooling on this card tbh

warped flare
#

but every deck dont have colourless restriction so technically mirror and darkdepth can be in all decks

novel bramble
#

Mirage Mirror is just never bad imo

warped flare
#

you spend mana on ability

#

instead of spell

#

its not bad

#

just wasted mana on not expanding

#

why dont you try to build from the 99, no commander

#

do it backward

novel bramble
#

Sure that doesnt expend, but its still a swiss army knife for a lot of situations where copying a certain ETB or another artifact could be very beneficial

warped flare
#

i bet you cant play with [[staff of domaination]] without drawing your entire deck ๐Ÿ™„

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

I bet I can get this on board and not benefit from it whatrsoever

#

but no, no combos for me

warped flare
#

[[rollar crusher]]

zealous ridgeBOT
#

No card found for โ€œrollar crusherโ€

warped flare
#

[[roller crush]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

[[spiteful banditry]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

i think i would be going for those X spell since they have less homes to go into

#

then it becomes a big mana burn/control deck

warped flare
#

and ik you would not play [[upwelling]]

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

One day maybe, I'll ask you for the most janky deck you have

warped flare
#

it involve sacing all your own lands with no ways of getting them back, then exile all of them with delve

warped flare
#

[[rain of filty]] you dirty...

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

well i got a [[lashwrithe]] sneaked through for a [[tainted strike]] kill, and then an exact damage KO with enough swamps next turn, then ended on the giving the [[platinum angel]] -1/-10000 on the opponent with 0 Lp

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

there is no kill like [[!OVERKILL]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

i think it was such a low power/messy threat assessment game tho it resemble a story telling B1 game

novel bramble
#

Another Marchesa win tonight. I had all the answers to any problem. Tons of treasures from [[Tataru Taru]] and 3 mass goading spells in a row

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

2nd Celestine wim too, but it was vs 2 precons and new players so doesnt count really

warped flare
#

is celestine that weak

novel bramble
#

I think she needs a bit of tinkering.

#

Anyway, what do you think about [[Eriette of the charmed apple]]

zealous ridgeBOT
novel bramble
#

Interesting concept

#

But I also need to do the village people dudes

novel bramble
#

I wanted an orzhov commander but not Aristocrats, this seems interesting enough to me to make a build out of it lol

#

Annnnnd theres a few janks that can be runned in here I<m sure

novel bramble
#

I'm still deciding if I wanna go with a group slug focus

warped flare
#

a card that say aura on it basically is leading is the core mechanic disadvantage where aura is easy to fizzle on target. on the other hand, curses are more likely to stay on board and players may underestimate the drain and "vow" type of pillow fort effect

#

who is village people

warped flare
#

it is interesting, but i dont think it is meant to be like salty powerful in anyways since it is more focused on aura on creatures as the main theme

#

not particularly a nonbo but i would try to stay away from [[stab wound]] types of cards because

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

making creatures smaller is generally bad (unless it is going to attack you)

#

bigger creature means harder to kill, goading is nice but it also leaves the chance of deathtouch trades

#

so the ideal symmetrical effect is something like a [[bedlam]] which is ofc not orzhov

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

[[pariah]] on a [[darksteel mutation]] is somewhat doable

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

but ideally, the aura can ALSO be used on your own creatures

#

[[flick wand]]

zealous ridgeBOT
#

No card found for โ€œflick wandโ€

warped flare
#

[[flick ward]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

nice with anything that cares about cast triggers

#

[[spirit link]] same as vampiric link

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

stacks nicely with your big life linker

#

otherwise they are like desperate fogs

#

[[$rashel fish of torm]] never seen that art

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

still $ as fuk

#

[[creeping bloodsucker]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

just thought of this one for life gain synergy

#

since there are so many ajani stuff that trigger of life gain

#

[[tresspasser curse]] is probably one of the best, most playable curse i have seen

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

must be hard for you to resist the [[sanguine bond]] combo :p

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

while i would want [[sphere of safety]] i may not try to do ghostly prison so there are more room for direct commander protection eff

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

overall, aura is almost always a 1 for 1 thing, if they dont last on the battlefield, they value dymatically decrease

#

[[revenge of ravens]] also feels too redundant for me

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

while toxic deludge is the good stuff solves all problem and really never a bad card

#

i dont think it is necessary when 90% of the nonland cards are probably going to stop the creatures coming your way

#

the fact it removes all your own creature auras kinda makes it slightly worse

#

austre can at least dodge it

#

[[cleansing meditation]] you forgot this one

Exquisite and Bloodthirsty also have the side effect of becoming target no 1. Which doesnt matter if you have enough auras on board but still.

novel bramble
zealous ridgeBOT

#

I'm juggling with all the cantrip auras too

#

You don't lose card advantage by casting them

#

and I like the auras that comes back to hand or field when the creature dies

novel bramble
#

Cutting time

novel bramble
#

10 cuts left, always the fun part

#

Lots of proxies to make now

#

[[illness in the rank]] from my exp is too weak, but i tried it in my low power deck that also has an obvious token weakness

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

but i do really like the one where is basically 2 of that in one card at the cost of mana2 manab tokens get -2/-2

#

downside is the inconsistency when it is a one of in the 99

#

other than tokens, i usually lose to flyers most often when i am not playing flyers myself

warped flare
#

covers the card advantage and makes up for card disadvantage

#

if it doesnt pack the power of darksteel mutation, i want that level of utility in general

warped flare
#

[[sanguine bond]] isnt needed

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

art wise i think [[esquisite blood]] is probably
less cool

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

the hand looks amazing, but the face + bite is a bit on the nose

#

i think i wanted like an extreme close up in the mouth

#

gorey yet elegant

warped flare
#

i think because i would compare [[scourgemark]] to [[feather of flight]]

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

there is basically no way i want to put that in a deck

#

but if your main plan is using those draw effect

#

there are virtually no different

#

[[underworld connection]] on a land means you have to use mana1 each turn for that draw, more synergy than blackmarket connection but is a much worse card than [[phyrexian arena]] (the baseline rate of 3 drop card draw)

zealous ridgeBOT
warped flare
#

i think i would use underworld if i care about synergy
