I'm just saying that know it's a craterhoof for trigger stacking
and i dont see these 5 drops being finisher
Also fair
like if you put all your overruns at 5 mana and then you go an put a 7 mana payoff in there then i think its fair
like yeah you should probably top out at 5 then
Also I'm not much of a green player. My husband is the one of us who plays that color more.
More often than not though, people will put mavren/ghalta with this idea that you're attacking more than once
gonna be honest if the idea is to finish around turn 5-6 i dont understand the heavy ramp inclusion even more
cause like what are you ramping into then?
Nothing has told me they need saving…
In terms of overlap with husband and most played IDs it's because of Azorius.
Azorius is cool
Nah, I’m good. I don’t need to be saved from something that’s not a problem.
That said I have been enjoying playing the other colors because of course; they’re all sweet
I am obviously joking with the whole "green players need saving" but the point before that is real, i dont get that kinda logic, i often do the "cmc>4 is unplayable" as a joke and people do push back on that a lot (i am often unsure if they do or dont get that its a joke) but then you see the same kinda point being made just 2 cmc higher
Also I wasn't saying it was unplayable. I was saying that people underestimate how fast she goes.
No i get that
[[Maja|khm]] is one I often see in Bess
No I hear ya.
I know you’re just poking fun around.
I do not disagree that the sentiment about the threshold of mana is kinda paradoxical.
That said. Bess is so fast as a deck and ghalta and mavren is fun in this deck, but it’s not going to matter super often in this deck specifically.
Wasn’t super interested in them, especially due to their cost and p/t
the thing i feel like you are actually missing is trample
outside of Garruk's Stampede there isnt really much
Bess decks that run Maja highly emphasize landfall
I've also seen bess decks that are about doubling her counters as much as possible
[[court of garenbrig]] [[bristly bill]] those
Enchantment
When this enchantment enters, you become the monarch.
At the beginning of your upkeep, distribute two +1/+1 counters among up to two target creatures. Then if you're the monarch, double the number of +1/+1 counters on each creature you control.
That’s the big thing I’ve been trying to figure out how to add
And uses like [[mirror entity]] to set p/t to 1/1
Mirror Entity is evil
Because Garruk’s uprising cares about big power and it’s a 1/1 deck
I use it in Frodo/Sam
I set all my creatures to 1/1 to be able to use Delney to have them unblockable and then i turn them into like 7/7s after blockers havent been declared
[[urdnan, dromoka]] is interesting for Bess...
Legendary Creature — Human Warrior
When Urdnan enters, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature.
Whenever you attack, target attacking creature with a +1/+1 counter on it gains first strike until end of turn. If that creature has two or more +1/+1 counters on it, it gains double strike until end of turn instead.
1/1
Finding evasion for the deck has been pretty tricky
Really?
There are, but I’m tossing up which ones
Not too much flying in WG
Trample is pretty common but it feels like the effects are just trample givers and not much else
There aren't a lot of 1/1 creatures that give it anyway. They're 2/3s etc
But it really isn't hard to get that for Bess at least
Because Bess is a voltron
Fucking autocarrot
Anyways, I might add surrak and goreclaw
I’m not super into stuff that does like doubling season stuff (other than the 2 effects in there already because they do other stuff)
Honestly I would go with:
Akroma's Will
Galadriel's Dismissal
Eldrazi Monument
in addition to your:
Champion of Lambholt
Garruk's Uprising
Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist also works perfectly fine as an Overrun
[[Mirri, Weatherlight Duel]]
okay, suggestions have been added. Deck is now at 104
idk why, I forgot that line of text on Champion lol
the one relevant line
lol yeah
So the conclusions of the deck so far: this deck is fast enough that I'm not getting to cast the big expensive stuff by the time it feels relevant. Idk if I keep Ghalta and Mavren in the deck
Give in, let the low cmc flow through you, only play stuff 4 cmc and below
Idk if I’ll go to 4 or less, but 5 yeah, maybe
I think 5 makes sense.
Some of the creatures work great in this like cultivator
Also tendershoot dryad is very good here too
But yeah, I don't normally think about commanders as having a very specific tempo that makes cards too slow for them but Selesnya commanders that cost 3 and have stuff related to their power are different
Bess, [[Sergeant John Benton]]
It's like they're so "shock and awe" aggro oriented that they probably need to be attacking on t3.
it does, but i will never not try to convince people to join the church of "5+cmc is unplayable"
I just feel like that view is anathema to commander
Whether or not I like playing them I can't view that as true
We can go to #format-philosophy for this though
you will never get me
also I appreciate this, but philosophy discussions in my thread are fine lol (even if its not the place i know)
Mana values can be wrong for a deck or a meta but not for the format.
yeah
I just want to respect your brew space
and I appreciate that
I also have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with philosophy and understanding social dynamics and games, so it's very much my jam
These are the curves of the decks I brought to play tonight.
Jinnie's (the first one) is funny with how hard it falls off.
lol
I understand where the "over 4 is unplayable" comes from, but I see it as the wrong way to view it.
The bottom left chart is lying because those 8 drops aren't that
[[Avatar of woe]] always costs 2
So, it's funny with the overlap of your Bess deck and my Jinnie
Partially because you definitely tried to avoid combos in it.
Or else you could have easily done scurry oak/rosie.
yeah
Amped raptor seems like a good way to exile your deck
This was the list I made for Delina for my "every elf color challenge" https://moxfield.com/decks/4sAPKtih-EOANmEyRFAL3Q
So I reread amped raptor
Since it only does the exile when cast from hand
It’s no longer in the deck
I missed that line. But the number of things it can stick in exile is a lot
It’s true
If it could exile off etb it stays in the deck especially since it keeps giving energy
I was more pointing out you weren't running Wyll or Brazen dwarf
True
Because Delina copying Wyll is a lot
Yeah. I don’t tend to brew combo decks much. I like hitting people in the face
It's still hitting people in the face, just a lot more all at once.
lol fair enough
Though if I do get sun titan in play the game would probably go a lot faster
?
I worked out you can also do it with koth animating a mountain and valakut
I did have Valakut in the list originally but idk if I want it for this one necessarily
https://moxfield.com/decks/xe0mWUXnOUChHuk_DaQH3A So I have tagged 6 cards I think I'm gonna cut to swap a few more Dragon's Approach cards into the deck again, so it's back at 30
also so I can add one more removal spell/interaction effect
which idk if it would be Flare of Duplication because of how few nontoken creatures this deck has at any given moment
yeah
I adjusted it a bit to reflect where the deck will be
[[carnelian orb of dragonkind]] feels like it should be in this
part of why I wanted to add 5 DAs back is so I could hit the dragons I almost always pull out with them more often, and thus get rid of some of the dragons I don't usually find
thought about it
mostly not in for similar reasons as to the ones I'm cutting: not likely I go get them
nod
I'd look at a copy that will do a trigger
Instead of flare though it's free
Like a [[return the favor]]
You're right that I don't think you have enough nontoken red creatures to copy flare
no
The remainder of my Ygra deck is enroute!
So once I get that built, I can start to work on my Kiora deck
putting that to paper is gonna be fun, and then it's gonna be Anafenza and Gix, and after that Samut and whatever else
Only worry I have is that since I've been messing with so many brews that I might not be as into ygra lol, but I do wanna get that deck done
I have bad news over the getting skullclamp given game changer status motion you're trying for.
Tbf, Seedborn muse is in a couple precons and they’ve mentioned changing what it means for a deck to be Core beyond just “the average modern precon” so I do expect it to change
Skullclamp may be in the most precons for artifacts behind only like boots and sol ring at this point
Also there were quite a few people in format philosophy talking about skullclamp as a good GC.
That all said, I don’t think you’re wrong
Jesus
The bant one has ballista and farewell
Farewell getting more reprints is fine because I think that’s one people oversell on its power and annoyance level
Also people just choose all modes even when it hurts them
They at least didn't give Yuna an untapper
lol
This is a mistake we can rectify
I'm not saying we can't give her one, I'm saying that at least WotC didn't
“This just in, Yuna has been given a reprinting of Kiora’s Follower”
Follower wouldnt have been a problem
lol
I was looking at it (because I have only seen it once before) and was like “is it in red? Imagine if it was red and they reprinted FOMO in it…”
Tho that one does more combat in taps
the real evil reprint would have been [[Freed from the Real]]
Cause you could have reprinted that in flavour no problem
Taking a closer look now this is maybe my new favourite art for it, it looks so good
That one is amazing too
I do like how they try new things with Skullclamp every now and then
a lot of good shit there
This is the Canlander deck I’m getting for Vegas
Any final recs of course because I’m gonna order the deck
https://moxfield.com/decks/bDN1-907vk-reH_BAQVvTg Seeing my list having only 10 pieces of removal and some of them being stapled to "creatures" as well as the huge plethora of ramp this deck has, I kinda wanna change it around
already tagged 3 pieces of ramp I intend to swap out, but 17 still feels like a lot especially when the removal count is at 10, and is currently only set to go up to around 13...
Feels like its gonna be the Trailtracker as one
@sharp flax
idk if you have any ideas for it; notably the considering board has a mess of stuff in it, and I tagged a lot of the stuff I plan on maybe adding.
I sort of recommend muerra over the badger
[[muerra]]
Legendary Creature — Raccoon Warrior
At the beginning of your first main phase, add
or
for each Raccoon you control.
Whenever you expend 4, you gain 3 life. (You expend 4 as you spend your fourth total mana to cast spells during a turn.)
Whenever you expend 8, exile the top two cards of your library. Until the end of your next turn, you may play those cards.
2/4
tbf, this is not a racoons deck, and almost all the other ones have come out of there
Like, Trailtracker is the last one left other than Bello since it ramps on 2
[[Bramble familiar]]
I feel like Bramble is in there because its either ramp on 2 or a spell that gets me a big thing back
but its probably fair that it's a bit less helpful
I did get a couple of the raccoons from bloomburrow so maybe I should make that kind of deck lol
Her other expend triggers are great
You really don't need many to make her worthwhile.
I actually think the deck does well enough with card advantage
I think mostly what I'm looking at is improving my interaction
since rn I'm at 10 pieces, and half of that is sorcery speed
I do kinda like [[invasion of shandalar]] and maybe [[invasion of kaldheim]] in this deck since they're both enchantments on their backs that get animated by Bello
Battle — Siege
(As a Siege enters, choose an opponent to protect it. You and others can attack it. When it's defeated, exile it, then cast it transformed.)
When this Siege enters, return up to three target permanent cards from your graveyard to your hand.
Defense: 4
Leyline Surge
Enchantment
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a permanent card from your hand onto the battlefield.
Shandalar's wild magic stripped away the unnatural Phyrexian carapaces, reclaiming the true forms hidden underneath.
Battle — Siege
(As a Siege enters, choose an opponent to protect it. You and others can attack it. When it's defeated, exile it, then cast it transformed.)
When this Siege enters, exile all cards from your hand, then draw that many cards. Until the end of your next turn, you may play cards exiled this way.
Defense: 4
Pyre of the World Tree
Enchantment
Discard a land card: This enchantment deals 2 damage to any target.
Whenever you discard a land card, exile the top card of your library. You may play that card this turn.
The warriors of Kaldheim burned the soul of their world to keep it out of Phyrexia's hands.
Mine is too
They're probably more pet additions that happen to work lol
but I kinda like the idea of adding them
It has the exile cards in this now but haven't made the adjustment yet https://moxfield.com/decks/3SVXNb19WE2gwghZH2c_2Q
lol I could put slicer in mine, I do have one of them
my removal is 3 instant speed, 7 sorcery (1 board wipe)
I apparently have 10 additional at sorcery
yeah
im on 10 total
and only 3 is instant lol
I feel like that's a bit on the lower end, and even going up to like 15 would be much better
I don't know what it means that I feel bello is a lighter interaction deck
I mean, its a deck that just goes faster
Like, you probably want more interaction in the form of keeping your commander alive
[[collective resistance]] seems nice for that too
one thing I notice with [[bolt bend]] is its not super likely to be online when its not your turn
Yeah, there are 7 unbuffed creaturea
Most removal I see is on my turn to keep me from attacking though
true
I think that's when its best: stopping someone killing bello before damage
I didn't buy any cards specifically for the deck.
Storm's Brewing Thread (Commander and Canlander, mainly)
https://moxfield.com/decks/uhf14LTYo02E-7N3Wd6P_g chat, I wanna make this Teval Lich list
and I wanna figure out how to make it work lol
So I have a mess of cards in here now, but I think I've got something going, and now we just gotta smooth out the deck
still happy for any suggestions
I think Marina’s Grimoire is a bit too risky for that Teval
Also im gonna try making that song my ringtone lol
or my alarm
I gotta see if I can do that
I can give you some other Celtic/Shanty bangers if you’re interested
of course lol
No [[pact weapon]]?
Artifact — Equipment
As long as this Equipment is attached to a creature, you don't lose the game for having 0 or less life.
Whenever equipped creature attacks, draw a card and reveal it. The creature gets +X/+X until end of turn and you lose X life, where X is that card's mana value.
Equip—Discard a card.
I’ve never seen this card. I will be adding it once I’m home
It's just really good with Teval's lifelink
And for getting things into GY
Because of the discard to equip
It also has the lich effect I want lol
pact weapon is nuts with lifelink, can confirm
Okay, I still have 11 cuts to make to this thing
Why tree of redemption?
Ok you're running actual lich cards
Lich's mirror feels like a cut.
Yes, it keeps from losing the game one turn but you have nothing except a full grip of 7
Hogaak is confusing here
It's just a big beater.
True
FWIW the Mirror is a card I've looked at including a lot
The problem is one of two things happen. If you have 2 lich effects on the field if you lose to one of them it then prevents that and you die to the second. In the second option you're left with nothing in late game.
True
I actually run [[trickbind]] effects in my lich deck 😅
Instant
Split second (As long as this spell is on the stack, players can't cast spells or activate abilities that aren't mana abilities.)
Counter target activated or triggered ability. If a permanent's ability is countered this way, activated abilities of that permanent can't be activated this turn. (Mana abilities can't be targeted.)
To counter my own triggers.
lol not a bad idea
I don't know that you need that but they're like safety valves for queza
Remember the Angel of Suffering only works with damage
Not life loss
So it works with [[llanowar wastes]] but not [[horizon of progress]]
So [[cephalid coliseum]] works
True. The angel was added after the lands
Also they’re they’re because they all lower life total anyways
I love that angel.
It’s fun
https://moxfield.com/decks/IiUWarZUU0C3yAjp15s7Xw 4 cuts for this list
That's a heavy mld theme
mhmm
https://moxfield.com/decks/qmuKmne3NkOSn09bmWW0CA for those who frequent here, I am refining my Yedora deck to try and make it a bit more consistent and resilient; give it some more umph
Any suggestions for cuts mainly, but additions too, are appreciated
@trim minnow you alive?
I think so
lol
first off, good
second off, I am down to two cuts for my beloved deck. Got any ideas?
The Yedora deck?
mhmm
I managed to bring the removal count up to 18, and I think its possible for one of them to go
but idk
actually, I think Autumn's Veil is one cut
maybe, idk
Seems like a decent cut
What's the idea with proteus machine?
it can go infinite itself
you dont need to animate a land
if you have yedora, machine, and a sac outlet, you go infinite
mhmmm
Maybe you just ditch krosan grip, yeah


Hmmm
Hmmm
Hmmm
Literally just sending a message here a couple days ago so I could find this thread
https://moxfield.com/decks/OtfZWCCuwUuqIyZBNv3b4g aight chat, making another list
now I have 11 cuts
yeah, hearth and home was there at first but got cut. Only reason Forge and Frontier has stuck around is the card advantage
but yeah Feast and Famine can go for sure
{2} • Artifact — Equipment • Inquisition Agents — Whenever equipped creature attacks, create a 2/2 white Astartes Warrior creature token with vigilance that's attacking. Then attacking creatures gain menace until end of turn. Equip {3} ({3}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.) • Warhammer 40,000 Commander (...
Giving menace with like [[alpha authority]]
I think forge and frontier can probably go too then
this is in the list already, but I'll look at the Rosette
we do love Menacé
[[nazgul battlemace]] is nasty but too expensive
Artifact — Equipment
Equipped creature has menace, deathtouch, annihilator 1, and "Whenever an opponent sacrifices a nontoken permanent, put that card onto the battlefield under your control unless that player pays 3 life." (Whenever a creature with annihilator 1 attacks, defending player sacrifices a permanent of their choice.)
Equip 
Yeah
lol now I'm imagining Not of This World in the deck...
I hate that I keep wishing this was a selesnya list that could just be cleaner
oh you're telling me
So why green alone?
hmmm
It's one of those cards that were cheap forever but I think people started paying attention to it
[[$mark of sakiko]]
$2.31 • €0.96 • 0.03 TIX
oh not bad
I just wonder if this deck needs it that much...
"Green decks only ramp via lands"
well, look at this dumb list...
It was like 25 cents forever
I can imagine
I think outside of an artifact deck the medallion isn't worth it in green
It's a flat reduction which works well
But at the same time there are so many 2 or less mv things that provide additional ramp
But it also doesn't tap?
So it's a tradeoff
I think the big downside that could come from this one is that a lot of the other artifacts dont get a reduction from this ramp
and one of the ones that does has other ways to be cheaper
Yeah
[[Meria, Scholar of Antiquity]] is an example of a green inclusive deck I'd use it in
okay this QB deck is so damn fun
Quarterback?
pfft
all good
tbf, he is the quarterback... and the kicker, runner, etc... (I have no idea what positions are in football)
He's the setter
also the pitcher
And the umpire
Also the driver
And the five iron?
and the pit crew? no that's the 8 other creatures in this... checks notes... MONO GREEN DECK
Lol
https://moxfield.com/decks/aS9245VUjUy6rPOXTUbJiQ aight,time for the next brew: Rakdos gaming!!!
Rakdos gaming moment
I'm considering it lol
pay 6 exile 6 and then everything costs 6 less lol
id probably add something like [[twilight of prophet]] to help offset lifeloss
Creature — Vampire Cleric
Flying
Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.)
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have the city's blessing, reveal the top card of your library and put it into your hand. Each opponent loses X life and you gain X life, where X is that card's mana value.
2/4
also [[phyrexian arena]]
yeah
I definitely looking at that stuff
a little bit of lifegain
[[torment of hailfire]]
wincon card
I am making an active choice not to put ToH in
[[exsanguinate]]?
in already
in
im blind
[[song of totenatz]]?
[[jaya's immolation]]
No card found for “jaya's immolation”
this could be fun
Starstorm and Black Sun's Zenith for board wipes, Damnable pact for draw or one shot
finally a deck for this card
[[tempt with vengeance]] seems like a meme card
[[killing wave]] is disgusting, i might add that to yshtola
Was in from basically the jump
https://moxfield.com/decks/gswxg6UrT0eAiqU3WBqc6w I am heavily considering splashing black for Psychic Frog as a 10th point instead of one of my current ones...
I will note: you will get more help in #commander or in your own #1020353936592470147 thread; this one's more so for my own decks, but you can always make your own
Nah it’s all good
If I wasn’t settling in for bed after a work shift I’d take a look at the list myself
https://moxfield.com/decks/oWc8M-cMG02hyD-xMQWKcg chat I need to make a cut: trying to put Garruk's Uprising into the deck as an extra way to push damage through more with Ygra
@grim raft wanna help me make a cut before I leave in 2 hours?
that's probably it; scooze
ty frien
So I now have this to brew once I’m home. Once the con is done and I’m home I’ll start making a brew
[[Midnight Clock]]
Yeah
I know Pell had worked on a Rusko list
https://moxfield.com/decks/fqN00AX-PEKWkFK3wQnJVw here's the start
will slowly make this list online
happy for any/all recommendations
Okay, we’re pivoting this deck
I love the name of the deck
Thank you
so with the ability to play vehicles as commanders now has me thinking of a brew...
Lmao
this is before I make the reamining 25 cuts (oh god) but still
its gone down a bit now
so after being super torn on my mono-w deck and not being too happy w/ Anafenza and Delney, I have pivoted to Parhellion II https://moxfield.com/decks/99nv7UXuukS2G4PGSC4-vA
Cmc>4 detected
hey. hey...
Isn’t there a car that dia landfall
hmmm, maybe?
well
if there is one, it either doesn't have landfall or isn't a vehicle
at least not in mono g
oh, do you mean [[molt tender]]?
Creature — Insect Druid
: Mill a card. (Put the top card of your library into your graveyard.)
, Exile a card from your graveyard: Add one mana of any color.
The Speedbrood regards molting as a selfless act worthy of the highest of honors. It allows one to be born anew for the good of the brood.
1/1
oh wait not that
lol
there's like two...
[[hedge shredder]] and [[lumbering worldwagon]]
Artifact — Vehicle
Whenever this Vehicle attacks, you may mill two cards.
Whenever one or more land cards are put into your graveyard from your library, put them onto the battlefield tapped.
Crew 1 (Tap any number of creatures you control with total power 1 or more: This Vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.)
5/5
the thing is the Cat Car deck is less a lands matter deck and more a tokens deck
This is goated
its pretty good
the main theme is copying tokens using the chariot
There are a good number of vehicles now that can find lands
true
I still play at a store where [[eyes of the wisent]] will trigger like, once in a year
oh hell yeah
lol
yeah idk if I keep it in the list
it's probably a cut, but it does make a 4/4 that cat car can copy
There’s [[stridehanger automaton]]
Artifact Creature — Construct
Thopters you control get +1/+1.
If one or more artifact tokens would be created under your control, those tokens plus an additional 1/1 colorless Thopter artifact creature token with flying are created instead.
"Avishkar greets the Multiverse with an open hand, but do not assume we are defenseless." —Pia Nalaar
1/4
hmmm
I'm already in the cutting stage but I should see how many artifact token makers I have
It’s ok
I’m in that stage too
I have my Esper vehicle commander
And the dexk is 90 percent azorious
Im currently wondering about [[arboreal alliance]] for similar reasons: do I actually make enough elves?
Enchantment
When this enchantment enters, create an X/X green Treefolk creature token.
Whenever you attack with one or more Elves, populate. (Create a token that's a copy of a creature token you control.)
"First name the four, the free peoples: Eldest of all, the elf-children . . ." —Long List of the Ents
Yeah, you might be light on them
I do like the idea of copying role tokens w/ the cat car
@wheat horizon this is my current project
so the Parhellion is on the way, but in the meantime Nelly Borca is the next brew https://moxfield.com/decks/DMroDqPcek-8yhVtjGn6Rw
oh lol
Was this the wrong thread?
I can move it to the proper place if it’s in the wrong one
if you want to
I'm looking at the list now
we can move to #commander or you could make your own thread for deck brewing shenanigans
We can move this to #commander
https://scryfall.com/search?q=(type%3Alegendary+type%3Avehicle)+(game%3Apaper)+(not%3ADFC)+(format%3Acommander)&as=grid&order=name so this link is every card that's just a legendary vehicle
https://moxfield.com/decks/vEaVKwk47kSkdh0-m6BnlQ I have begun a precon upgrade list for this deck
[[iridescent vinelasher]] and [[ob nixilis the fallen]] might be good
I think I'm going to upgrade my gitrog deck to be Jund
maybe this one
okay @trim minnow convince me not to put skullclamp in this precon upgrade?
yeah
And nantuko
I think I'm cutting the kindred sorcery
fair
but now I have 9 other cards I am considering to add, and need to find cuts for
@wind bison for when you're awake; I started modifying this deck and I'm now poised to make anywhere between 3-6 cuts lol
on top of all the other cuts I've made
Word
I go to bed at like 10:30cst normally
I mean it’s effectively just a slightly better shorikai
I’m ngl
lol
Better colors, harder to get started and can put you down lands if you’re not careful
yeah, but also we can go real fast with this stuff
I wonder if Rampaging Baloths is a good cut...
I think it still is good here but idk if the tokens are the ones this deck wants/cares about
I’m ngl I took one look at the deck and went “yup”
Leaning into the sac stuff with mazirek is a new direction
And juri
I appreciate the use of soul of windgrace
Card is cracked
No scapeshift is crazy
I might cut Korvold, Rampaging Baloths, and Satyr Wayfinder
oh shit you're right
I should consider/add a scapeshift
Could even make this a valakut deck
oh god
3c valakut would be very funny
Scapeshift is 50 bucks
[[$scapeshift]]
$49.11 • €35.90
$49.14 • €23.88
$39.29 • €27.06 • 0.55 TIX
$42.68 • €23.97 • 0.32 TIX
I forgot valakut is mountain, not basic
god damn what
look forward to the "each land is a mountain in addition..."
They won’t print it
oh for sure
Unfortunately they’ve explicitly said those are a very low chance of happening
Not really that so much as synergy with the island one paired with boil or choke
lol
I think the next one they'd make is for Plains
so little problems to come from that likely
okay I might cut the new mono-b land from this one
thoughts on [[gaze of granite]]?
Meh
yeah that was my thoughts too
Might as well run, like, Casualties of War
Or just run In Garruk’s Wake and Season of Gathering
Or Call Forth the Tempest
lol I just looked up the Yund ultimatum...
this card sucks...
I do love Season of Gathering
the current "I am wondering if I should add these and what do I swap out for them?" board
thinking more about it now, I don't think repast will ever make it, but maybe stump stomp and six and life from the loam?
idk about loam in this one
Yes six + loam is a really strong combo
Umaru, my thoughts on this deck are shifting slightly
In what way
honestly, towards "do I bother upgrading this?"
I'm modifying my self mill deck, so I'm going to keep in a lot of self mill stuff
I’d probably build Tannuk myself because ETB>sac but that’s just me
Yeah shenanigans galore with keys, do you have a good creature base to station the ship?
I mean its not bad
Thoughts on [[Nahiri's Lithoforming]] in this list
hmmmmm
With crucible effects even if you don't draw replacement you can replay what you sacrificed
[[orcish lumberjack]] anyone?
[[greater gargadon]] is so weird too
Also lol, Yavimaya is cradle of growth obv
I was just trying to think of alternatives for scapeshift
you want me to jack it?
yeah because aint no way
[[destructive flow]]
[[Wight of the reliquary]]
any idea for a cut for this one?
update: I realized I was not reading all my cards
I want to upgrade this deck this way
reading is for nerds
What do you mean?
I wasn’t really taking advantage of the commander in my earlier goldfishes
And wasn’t leaning into it as much
Pin it bestie
I can’t
Nooooo
Undo that
https://moxfield.com/decks/JpoTTZdMRkKr_QP3zyigwQ been messing around with this idea for a Faerie/Draw-Go deck with Alela
I am way over the deck cap and I still need to sneak in some more ramp, card advantage, and similar
so I need to make a lot of cuts to the creature board
The balance with Alela is she's both draw go and needs to attack to goad
yeah
Oooo
Maybe I’ll make a Sigarda Humans list with them; that or the other one that casts from the top
I just ordered the last 5 cards I need for Kiora!
so that's another new deck in my possession
now to solidify on the mono-b deck and start working on that eventually
What's your final list for her?
I'm not looking forward to doin the update on my list
Right it's blue Kiora
I messed around a lot with Necrobloom to test it recently, mostly against 2020-2025 precons though
It's a fun commander with a fairly distinct take on landfall
Comparing our lists looks like this:
https://moxfield.com/decks/IiUWarZUU0C3yAjp15s7Xw/compare/B0HkrkmDk0ibu5NIGjQRJg
- I found that Squandered Resources simply wasn't as good as Zuran Orb; I cut it and Archaeological Dig.
- Overrun's good in this kind of deck, as is Moonshaker Cavalry
- Corpse Knight and Murkwood Bats are great, as usual.
- Prosperous Innkeeper is very good ramp
- Cryptolith Rite and/or On Wings of Gold do Insidious Roots better
- Since you're slipping in Edge of Eternities cards, get Formless Genesis. Spectacular way to build-your-own-threat if you draw lands while the bloom's in the command zone.
- Avacyn Angel of Hope is a nice top-end. Shalai, Voice of Plenty is also. Obviously they're not as good with Farewell running rampant.
- Traveling Chocobo is very good and accelerates you if you have Emeria Angel + Corpse Knight or Mossborn Hydra out
- Teval's Judgement goes hard with the dredge plan
- Kodama of the East Tree is hilarious when you can sac, dredge, and draw lands
- Gruesome Fate can convert your dozens of tokens directly into a table kill; better Torment of Hailfire
- Talon Gates of Madara is exceptional removal, good pick in your deck
There's definitely some jank 'testing stuff' picks in my list, like Tithe and God-Eternal Bontu.
Worm Harvest is probably especially good in your list compared to mine for your mass land destruction?
Honourable mentions are Ripples of Undeath, Command Beacon (pricy and I probably won't get), Westvale Abbey, Diamond City, and Territory Culler. Worth a quick glance
to a few notes: For Innkeeper, Shalai, Corpse Knight, and those kinds of cards might be worth visiting but I'm not sure rn. Mossborn Hydra is great for landfall but idk if its for this deck. This deck is not making too much use of dredge right now, tho that could change I suppose. Avacyn kind of goes against what I want from the deck which is to be able to let my lands die, rather than just strand my opponents
Oh yeah, that's a fair call. I'd honestly recommend Shalai alone then
I do plan to refine the list so I'll probably throw in some of the other suggestions as alt win cons
Hedge Shredder makes the dredge very silly. I didn't see many great ways to convert the dredge into damage or tokens though
that way I'm not leaning on Overrun too much
yeah I think I'd do something different for the deck if I wanna lean into a dredge game plan
Traveling Chocobo hits very similarly to Ancient Greenwarden in that it feels very win more
which is why both of those aren't in the list
For sure, even scute swarm feels quite a lot for this commander. Lands and tokens come easy
So I think utility lands and token protection are arguably bigger issues than making silly amounts of plants and zombies
look
I love Plants vs Zombies...
oh holy shit
I'm renaming this deck
thank you
anyways
New theme discovered? Gempalm Incinerator swapping in?
not a new theme but a better name
I think I cut bristly bill for the same reasons I'm not feeling Mossborn Hydra
For sure, they're very Timmy cards that just reward you without necessarily requiring any strategic play
I mean they're much more "eggs in one basket"
which this deck isn't super about that
Not necessarily freebies, just yeah
All eggs in one place is a solid description
In my deck, I'll probably swap out Mossborn Hydra, Scute Swarm, Tithe, Lotus Cobra, Thalia and The Gitrog Monster, and Generous Gift (I've got Strip Mine for lands and abzan has no removal quality issues). The drain on ETB and on dredge is a very reliable package, and On Wings of Gold is lowkey redundancy for Field and Bloom
Westvale Abbey and Barad-Dur work very reliably 👍
Chocobo will probably go too, ngl. It's great, but overkill
@rose iris my mess
Sorry my roommate came home and we got distracted talking for a while and then I passed out
some notes - I'm a huge fan of [[pitiless carnage]] as seen in it's standard legal combo with Aftermath Analyst. It may be worth looking into
The deck currently looks. A little. Unfocused? I don't know if that's intentional, or not; but it's reading as though it's split between
- Land shenanigans
- MLD loops
- Aristocrat token shenanigans
How has it been playing out in practice?
Sorcery
Sacrifice any number of permanents you control, then draw that many cards.
Plot 

(You may pay 

and exile this card from your hand. Cast it as a sorcery on a later turn without paying its mana cost. Plot only as a sorcery.)
Akul saw his Hellspur followers as little more than ammunition to be expended.
All good
So it’s currently figuring out what it wants to do, yeah
IMO I would try and focus on two of these three strats rather than trying to balance between all three because they're pretty significantly different in gameplay from each other
Right
I’d lean into both lands side of things then because that was the game plan
The etb stuff for the creatures was almost entirely backup
I’ll let ya know when I’m at my desk to work on the list lol
Yeah, your build is very land-loop focused. I cut Life from the Loam because mine's very aristocrats-like -- I'd recommend you keep it in.
So I think you'd get lots of mileage from redundancy for Overrun. And adding Worm Harvest and Formless Genesis so you can rebuild your board quickly. Gruesome Fate if you need a noncombat way to kill, but I'm not sure you go wide enough for that and your opponents probably stall and can't block efficiently under MLD conditions.
@rose iris @unkempt jungle since I kow Animu you've been interested in my list rn; I guess any cuts that stick out?
just cut Living Death
Squandered Resources, unless you're getting value from it for a combo
yeah
you get to feed a ton of mana into it to then wrath and get them back
its also just a land sac outlet
which this deck doesn't have much of
Ah, tapping out your lands to float, then sacrificing them?
mhmm
then you can get them back in many ways
like this deck is on most of the splendid rec effects
I guess it's a mana doubler that way. Carry on.
Any alternatives to Desolation Angel and Toxic Deluge?
Desolation Angel is in a bit of a weird spot
Yeah
Deluge is one that's probably hard to replace aside from maybe its conditional reprint [[Deluge of Doom]]
there's exactly 5 "Destroy all Lands" effects in Abzan
and one is also a creature wrath
Trying to keep your creatures when you can turn your lands into elephants and make zombies on landfall?
So you're noton either [[pitiless carnage]] or [[reprocess]]?
Sorcery
Sacrifice any number of permanents you control, then draw that many cards.
Plot 

(You may pay 

and exile this card from your hand. Cast it as a sorcery on a later turn without paying its mana cost. Plot only as a sorcery.)
Akul saw his Hellspur followers as little more than ammunition to be expended.
now this I was looking for
Both of them should let you sac lands and then just dredge for them
with replacing the draw
Yeah, I use [[God Eternal Bontu]] for this. They come back
Im not sure about Bontu
but it's solid
Carnage def goes in because I can plot it so its free then I can float mana for a splendid rec
Which deck is this for?
Basically 3mv hand replenishment and a 2mv 5/6 that survives Farewell
Levi
I'm doing MLD bullshit
lol
It's kind of funny that Pitiless Carnage says "permanents you control"
but yeah there's not a lot of symmetrical wrath effects
As if sacrificing ones you don't is an option on the others 😄
Icetill explorer is so crazy
yeah
I guess printing 3 cards on one card is the new schtick
the reason I returned to modify this list was because of that card
I like KotR in this deck, but I'm not so sure about WotR
I like wight, just in general but also because your tokens
current ones I'm wary of:
the tortise
avenger
azusa
abolisher
wight
gruesome fate
insidious roots
glacial chasm
it reads great, but its not for this deck
If you're doing attacking at all you don't want chasm
If you're wanting to sit and dredge, then go for it
Worse splendid reclamation. Tortoise is much better in aristocrats decks like mine where recovering lands is kinda incidental because I'm draining with creatures and dredging
So tortoise is a good cut
it's fun in my land animation deck, but even my Optimized bracket deck for Yedora couldn't hold it; I'll def find homes for it tho
Avenger should be fine, but it's probably going to be your 101st
Wight is great though
and I feel like it could hold
Wight is good but I was just unsure how the sac for land mode felt
Avenger's in a weird spot. Going off with the Necrobloom means its second ability is blank. And the first ability is a worse Worm Harvest. But while you're setting up, it's okay
I'd replace Avenger with a redundant Overrun like Moonshaker or Storm Slayer
and otherwise higher than it for splendid rec effects
Or double down on your MLD strategy
im about as far in as I can be
Necrobloom is a machine that turns lands into big board states, so I don't think cutting Overrun effects would ever be good until you've got 4+
it def wants to be a bit on the cheaper side
i like the ultimatum as a big top end thing
im cutting roots because I don't know how often I will have the ability to use it
Necrobloom wants even mana values 4, 6, and 8 available for recasting commander. So odd mana values in that range, or values 3- are most consistent.
Insidious Roots is only really there for ramping into Torment of Hailfire or Exsanguinate most of the time. Even with the dredge, you make like... two plants off Insidious Roots?
So I'd suggest On Wings of Gold instead
it does help with the stuff from necrobloom but not enough
Cryptolith Rite is my pet card for creature ramp
Insidious needs you to frontload tokens which just doesn't work great with bloom's patterns
But you have a LOT of MLD
On Wings of Gold though... plants turn into early flying blockers, and your dredge gives you flying zombies instead of buffing plants you don't have after the first wipe
yes
that's the point
im on 4 of the 5 land wrath effects
okay 10 cuts left
Azusa getting the axe
9 cuts
Do you need Grand Abolisher's lock?
Ah, I interpreted that as "wary to cut because they're relevant in my meta". I'd just pull them all to considering and call it a deck
Azusa has synergy with Life from the Loam tbh
So if you're able to cut azusa, I might tentatively suggest cutting life from the loam
Because you've got splendid rec and most of its support package
@rose iris thoughts on that?
I don’t disagree! You’ve already got a LOT of dredge to recur lands - I don’t know if you need another copy of the effect
also, as I've been kind of hinting at, I haven't been dredging the lands that much
tho that migth change more
(just via necrobloom tho)
Oh! I missed that. Then yeah cut life from the loam
A kutzil would be better than abolisher
But you aren't dredging, which feels like mistake (joking because always be dredging)
I have a bold statement
I don't think roots works here outside of as a [[cryptolith rites]]
Unless you're regularly keeping yourself at 6 or fewer lands
If you were doing Necrobloom/Yedora it would make more sense
Maybe bold to EDHRec data, but it's very evident if you playtest the deck a few dozen times. Cryptolith Rites is much more reliable as ramp, and On Wings of Gold is much better token quality
But you're not using like [[stinkweed imp]]
or any of the dredge creatures
That seems to generally be the sentiment outside Teval decks lmao
so there's no way to reliably pull creatures out outside of eerie and it only triggers once per animation (one or more)
Played the card many times to a very middling effect
I have it in Meren and it's great with her
But she always pulls a creature out of your graveyard
It just doesn't always go to the battlefield
Some deck where you’re regularly pulling stuff out with individual effects, anyway
maybe refresh the tab
(its already been cut)
lol yeah
Or did it right before you cut it?
cut it right here
OK, so I had a stuff happen around then and would be why
wondering about this
yep
I think mulching artifacts/enchantments are too good
I was thinking of hour of reckoning
yeah
I think the reason final showdown made the list currently is because I was thinking about it in tandem with hour of reckoning lol
Yeah
okay I'm sticking with command I think
Sorcery
Convoke (Your creatures can help cast this spell. Each creature you tap while casting this spell pays for
or one mana of that creature's color.)
Exile all creatures except those that share a creature type with a creature that convoked this spell, all artifacts, and all enchantments.
"I can see every single atom of your existence, and I divide them."
maybe
okay currently 6 cuts
im currently on 6 ways to bring back lands on mass
actually, 7
I can probably cut World Shaper then
Yeah, I could see cutting it
But I think Mending of Dominaria might be better as [[summon:titan]]
Enchantment Creature — Saga Giant
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.)
I — Mill five cards.
II — Return all land cards from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
III — Until end of turn, another target creature you control gains trample and gets +X/+X, where X is the number of lands you control.
Reach, trample
7/7
I'm excited to play titan sometime
I considered it as well
Might make that swap
Anyways I’m at 5 cuts left, so any ideas are welcome
5 basics go
Bro I’m on a lands deck
I am at a higher basic count than I expected but I like the count
(I'm joking)
I know frien
okay what should I cut?
I truly have no idea...
kinda leaning towards tireless tracker?
they just offer extr adraw
Im also kind of looking at Lumra because I remembered I also have meld Titania
and I now have like 4 Crucible effects I think, which means I can probably just cut Ramunap Excavator
so I guess I'm looking at:
Tireless Tracker, Lumra (or another splendid rec), ramunap excavator (or another one of the crucible effects, might just be the crucible itself)
also probably Wrenn and Realmbreaker
or even Six considering how little I'm dredging
Lumra is demoralizing to opponents
mhmm
And abzan always seems to want that
lol you don't say
Like, playing against a good abzan deck, there will often be a moment where it's like when you realize you're dead to lantern control
yeah
okay, so probably tracker, wrenn and realmbreaker, crucible of worlds(?), Six(?), and a reclamation effect(?)
could cut Amulet of Vigor in favor for the other new "lands enter untapped" guy and also just make the deck that much more affordable
im gonna do that swap rq
put [[horizon explorer]] in instead of amulet
oh hi Umaru
I tried making that abzan stompy deck. Turns out it’s hard to make abzan stompy run well without simultaneously running some amount of staxy pieces
I honestly wonder if Abzan stompy is just enchantress
But what you said is related to what I meant. It's like Abzan has to chokehold you
definitely feels like that
And then overwhelm
I know Abzan does some counters stuff
Abzan has hella counters support
personally I'm more of a fan of Overrun and Triumph of the Hordes...
Especially human typal with a counters subtheme
Like, I think abzan human typal //+1/+1 counters is the best example of a strong subtheme you can do
[[Felothar|TDM]], her ancestor [[Reyhan, last of the abzan]]
Legendary Creature — Human Warrior
Reyhan enters with three +1/+1 counters on it.
Whenever a creature you control dies or is put into the command zone, if it had one or more +1/+1 counters on it, you may put that many +1/+1 counters on target creature.
Partner (You can have two commanders if both have partner.)
0/0
[[!Springheart Nantuko]]
that was the one I was considering
It's pretty meh for B4
for this deck
The other thought is whether you went overboard on crucible effects but you might be fine there.
https://moxfield.com/decks/mf_U4DrJ5EucKcnzR7gXbQ the list that's about to become a real deck
if anyone has any other ideas for it lemme know
time to sleeve this up
https://moxfield.com/decks/wEDT4T8hB0aGSn5t8JeTrw throwing my Toph list here for now (not finished, just threw a few things in so far just for ideas
lol
See some tech that looks goofy?
I ahven't looked at it yet, just saw "Man rocks"
https://moxfield.com/decks/_rRghsPuWki3j0g-c_RNHQ Chat, I'm making a prowess storm deck
currently at 73 cards, happy to go over before I start making cuts
So you've committed to focusing on instants/sorceries?
You may want [[taigam ojutai master]] because any rebound counts for prowess
Legendary Creature — Human Monk
Instant, sorcery, and Dragon spells you control can't be countered.
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your hand, if Taigam attacked this turn, that spell gains rebound. (Exile the spell as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast that card from exile without paying its mana cost.)
3/4
[[Olórin's Searing Light]] as well
This is my Narset. There may be some other things in here that could help but I think I took a different path than a lot of people https://moxfield.com/decks/ajXbO9NHvUe4qWUInV6uTA
It was funny earlier realizing I only had 14 slots left and had a combined 14 instants and sorceries
- #1405518114699087893
- to my understanding equipment that become creatures don’t have “when equipped creature attacks” triggers enabled since they aren’t equipped
- [[Black Panther]] seems like a fun inclusion
Legendary Creature — Human Noble Hero
First strike
Survey the Realm — Whenever Black Panther or another creature you control enters, put a +1/+1 counter on target land you control.
Mine Vibranium —
: Move all +1/+1 counters from target land you control onto target creature. If one or more +1/+1 counters are moved this way, you gain that much life and draw a card.
2/2
[[Storm cauldron]] is also neat, but I apologize for the lengthy discussion about what makes a mana ability a mana ability in the Toph thread
But my Narset wants to cast opponents' cards and my list is more about getting her big enough rather than a go-wide
yeah mine in general is jsut trying ot go-wide and crush my opponents with big monk creatures
okay I def need to get my spell count up for magecraft or whatever
@quasi magnet good stream last night btw 😉
wait what?!?
were you there???
also thank you 
Yeah, didn’t know you’d been playing lego star wars for so long
I didn't know you were streaming
He posted it in #self-promotion yesterday
: Until end of turn, creatures you control have base power and toughness X/X and gain all creature types.
less to cast.
: Tap enchanted creature.

. This ability costs
