#Coral's miscellaneous deckbuilding thread

I am a big fan of burn, and Niv, Visionary seems like a really good pick for a commander. I want to win through guttersnipe effects off of cantrips, with Niv being a cherry on top if the game gets that far. I've never built spellslinger and don't know how many of everything to put in the deck. Hoping for a definitive bracket 3, preferably no gamechangers although I can fold if need be.

ok but hear me out: what if niv mizzet WAS guttersnipe in the command zone, and drew you cards when you slinged your spells
also mystic confluence and fiery confluence are really really good cards you should look into, and I see you are on most of the good cantrips, except gitaxian probe because free is hard to beat
also if budget isn't a concern, I'd be on arid mesa flooded strand misty rainforest polluted delta scalding tarn and wooded foothills, as well as mystic sanctuary. Having shuffle effects makes cantrips signficantly better, and without access to consistent ones, I would just avoid playing brainstorm like the plague.
I'd also add the standard "play these everywhere" counterspells of counterspell, mana drain, swan song, an offer you can't refuse, and because you probably will be on some number of wizards (including your commander), the new card manasculpt is only slightly worse than mana drain, and often is just mana drain if you are on cost reducers. I've also loved flashback if you haven't read that card it's just snapcaster mage (a card I'd consider here anyways) but on a 1 mana instant, it massively overpreforms in my experience
speaking of cost reducers, a lot of people sleep on archmage of runes, because it's similar to archmage emeritus but costs one more, but A) having both in play is busted, and B) the cost reduction on something that doesn't die super easy matters, most of the cost reducers people play are tiny dudes that don't block and die to everything.
also firestorm is SOOOO good, along with flame rift and boltwave, if you can get your commander out
from there, that should get you start at least thinking about what to run, hope it helped and if you have questions or whatever just @ me, I've been playing storm/spell slingery type decks in almost every format since 2011-2012

Rebuilding my Henzie from the ground up and was enlightened by Henziecord to put around 14-16 pre-henzie plays. The goal of the deck is to put utility on field turns 1/2, turn 3 henzie, turn 4 blitz. If anyone has recommendations on fun, 1/2 mana toys for pre-henzie and/or favorite pet cards to blitz, please send them here.
Landbase is entirely filler and removal package is a WIP

Continuing on another stupidly good card is [[Deadpool]] a commanders a problem? Well just shoot it in the foot and take it for yourself
proven domeBOT
Legendary Creature — Mutant Mercenary Hero
As Deadpool enters, you may exchange his text box and another creature's.
At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 3 life.
, Sacrifice this creature: Each other player draws a card.
"Draw me like one of your French cards."

He's hilarious, the largest issue is that he's also $20
And I'm not opposed to big money for certain cards, but deadpool just, idk
Thank you tho
foggy wedge
Nah, tryna build henzie irl
dusky radish
also a really important part of Henzie is run as little non creatures as possible so [[Ravenous Chupacabra]] and similar cards are better over say [[feed the swarm]]
foggy wedge
Most expensive card I'm heavily considering is [[pathbreaker ibex]]
proven domeBOT

[[$pathbreaker Ibex]]
proven domeBOT
dusky radish
thats a really good card in budget Henzie for sure
also [[gray merchant of asphodel]]!
proven domeBOT
Creature — Zombie
When this creature enters, each opponent loses X life, where X is your devotion to black. You gain life equal to the life lost this way. (Each 
in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to black.)
2/4

I have thought about good ol' gary
dusky radish
[[Gwenom Remorseless]] is really useful as a mini Bolas Citadel
proven domeBOT
dusky radish
[[Primeval Herald]] two lands? Yes please
proven domeBOT
foggy wedge
I'm finding these are all cards I've considered or had in the old henzie list lmao
dusky radish
henzie plays the same cards over and over lmao
foggy wedge
Primeval herald and chupacabra were mvps, gwenom and deadpool were interesting to me but I decided against mainly for price
dusky radish
true their is [[Cauldron of Essence]] is a pretty new card
proven domeBOT
Artifact
Whenever a creature you control dies, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.

, Sacrifice a creature: Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. Activate only as a sorcery.
In the gloomy depths of Widdershins Hall sits an iron belly—always hungry, but generous to those who feed it.

I do have a couple copies of that one
The henzie community seems to be mixed because it's expensive
foggy wedge
Debating [[birthing ritual]] because
- little pricey and like to save where I can
- seems a little strong, maybe too strong

It is really good and can often just end games with cards like [[Etali Primal Conqueror]]
proven domeBOT
Legendary Creature — Elder Dinosaur
Trample
When Etali enters, each player exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile a nonland card. You may cast any number of spells from among the nonland cards exiled this way without paying their mana costs.
: Transform Etali. Activate only as a sorcery.
7/7
Etali, Primal Sickness
Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Elder Dinosaur
Trample, indestructible
Whenever Etali deals combat damage to a player, they get that many poison counters. (A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game.)
The contagion spreads and the Multiverse quakes.
11/11

Currently looking to mayhaps swap out some dorks for other utility pre-henzie, rest of the list is a WIP
Namely if you have draw engines or other sac outlets
dusky radish
cutting dorks is risky for Henzie as he wants to he able to play 2-3 blitz creatures on turn 6-7 but if you have good utility go ahead for sure 👍
foggy wedge
It is a maybe, and I like my dorks that also provide utility...
We'll see, but regardless if you find something fun in jund that's one or two mana let me know

Looking to cut two of my pre-henzie plays for rampant growth and shared roots
Tags enabled, likely gonna cut a utility mana dork or viscera seer but wouldn't be opposed to an argument for something else
https://moxfield.com/decks/qSAldCCAwE2c5dbYVj93mA
dusky radish
rampant growth is eeeeeeh its much better to just run creature versions of everything as your going to be playing reanim naturally
I would however drop umber collar zealot the less 1-3 drops you have the more 4+ drops you can play around with
i would consider Goreclaw a cut if you dont run enough 4 power creatures if you do run more thne she (he?) is a keep
Anger isn’t necessary its much better to just run a value 4 drop like [[solemn simulacrum]] which is so stupidly good two cards and a land for 3 mana is really good

I would agree except I've been fucked one too many times because my dorks get killed, land ramp is much more secure
dusky radish
you’ve been hit by [[massacre wurm]] one too many times lmao also a really good cards for henzie

No just wipes in general lol
I do enjoy a good massacre wurm
Especially when my partner has a [[hare apparent]] deck
proven domeBOT
dusky radish
that’s hilarious theres also [[primaris eliminator]] which is more targeted
proven domeBOT
foggy wedge
I'm debating running that one too but I'm probably just gonna go with the good ol' chupacabra
Two hate pieces specifically for go wide feels much
Especially considering the hares
dusky radish
I mean it can also double down as a chups and better yet shoot someone dorks to hell which can sometimes be useful
why run just chups when you can run both
foggy wedge
That's fair, idk
