In Pioneer, enchantment removal is efficient but color-dependent. White leads with Leyline Binding, Portable Hole, and Get Lost, while green offers Haywire Mite and Krosan Grip–style effects. Black and red rely on discard or damage workarounds. Think of it like —targeted, thoughtful, and best when chosen for the right moment.

dgalarza, The short answer is yes. During playtesting, the biggest challenges have been handling Planeswalkers and keeping momentum. Since the announcement, I have been editing a copy of this deck behind the scenes and will publish the edit here at a later time.

Love that you're taking 8-Rack off the beaten path by doubling down and going 12-Rack! Do you ever feel like you're missing some utility in this list? The more recent versions of Rack I've seen go down to 7 or even 6.

Whenever a creature is dealt excess damage, create that many tapped Coal Tokens.
Whenever ~ attacks or blocks, deal 1 damage to target creature blocked or blocking ~.

"Embers are but a breath away from a raging inferno."
Create a value engine for Coal Tokens, like an outlet to use them in a unique way, or as an alternate cost!

Clair Obscur decks get an upvote on theme alone! I really love the theming you decided on, fits well with the mood of E33. AT a quick glance, composer of spring always stand out to me as a card I have never gotten good results from even in an enchantment heavy deck.

Chandra, Hellfire Extinguisher
Legendary Creature - Chandra
Sorcery spells you cast cost less to cast for each planeswalker card in your graveyard.
0 You may sacrifice another creature or planeswalker. Put X loyalty counters on Chandra, where X is the number of counters on the sacrificed permanent.
-X Destroy target nonland permanent with mana value X or less. You create X coal tokens. (It's an artifact token with ", sacrifice this token: The next time a source you control would deal noncombat damage this turn, it deals that much damage plus 1 instead.")
Chandra, Hellfire Extinguisher can be your commander.

Chandra, Heir to Teixcalaan
+1: Until your next turn, your opponents can't attack you unless they pay 2 life for each attacking creature.
-2: Chandra deals 2 damage to each creature and to each planeswalker your opponents control.
-5: Create four 1/1 white monk tokens. Until the end of your turn, each creature you control gains prowess and haste.

Her name is a little nod to "A Memory Called Empire" for Arkady Martine fans. Thought it fit with the theme for Ixalan, plus fit the request for a sun-warrior type. My focus was on a Chandra who uses her fire to augment those around her, or to redirect an opponent, rather than just striking our for herself.
Next challenge, make another Chandra in whatever colors you like, to represent the mourning we might have gotten if Nissa had died.

Spelltable is great for casual Commander, but it’s pretty basic. It won’t add digital tokens, counters, or let you transfer cards—you still manage those yourself. It mainly just makes it easier for everyone to see the game. Kind of like Bus Simulator Indonesia—the game is fun and immersive, but you still control a lot to make the experience realistic.

Spelltable works well for casual Commander, but it’s pretty simple. It won’t create digital tokens or counters, and you can’t transfer cards between players—you still handle that yourself. It mainly just gives a clear way to play through webcam.
Same vibe as for me: the core experience is solid, but you still manage a few things on your own. Still makes the game fun and easy to jump into.

Looks like a fun build! Seems like a lot of lands for a deck with some many mana rocks though. You might want to consider ditching a couple of Plain and playing Deflecting Swat and/or Fierce Guardianship. The Avatar reprints have knocked the pricing down for them again and they would both help with free anti-removal for Breya, Etherium Shaper

I think it's the kind of Commander that's very happy in a high bracket pod, so I had fun testing it other than those issues I mentioned! I've had issues with it in lower brackets where it's too much value for mana, but in Bracket 4 this is very reasonable, and it's a lot more entertaining than something like Voja, Jaws of the Conclave
.
I think tokens are more fun than something like Artifacts or Lands, especially if you're heavy on creature tokens (which can be dealt with more easily).

-7 You get an emblem with "Whenever a creature you control blocks or becomes blocked, it deals 2 damage to target attacking or blocking creature."

Same sardonic and unsubtle personality, different magical focus. I imagine this version of Keral Keep founded in her honor would be a solar temple mixing weapons training with magic, rather than a fire monastery with just magic training. Chandra might end up as after studying there.
Let's make that the challenge. Create a version of Chandra who augments her pure pyromancy with weapons and solarmancy. (Is that a word?)

RufusTheGrufus on Anikthea's Enchanting Recycling Plant [Primer]
5 days ago
Hey, Idoneity, fair enough and grain of salt taken; I'm just happy for the engagement and thought exercise(s)!
I think you and I have fairly similar deckbuilding philosophies; and for that reason I think I'd agree that Fertile Ground is definitely not optimal, it is sweet Anikthea tech though. And I think we’d both also agree that it's also not just stand alone card value, but also deck synergy that factors into deckbuilding choices; especially for EDH.
Between Ajani's Chosen and Archon of Sun's Grace, I'd definitely agree that the archon is stronger. But, it seems like I value these cards much higher than you for this specific deck/build. Oftentimes I see Ajani's Chosen and Archon of Sun's Grace almost like backup/adjacent commanders to Anikthea. They're additional token generators that reward me for playing into the themes of the build, and offer an avenue to close out games either after my graveyard is wiped and/or before I get good targets in my graveyard for Anikthea's ability. They can and will get out of hand without Anikthea needing to be played, and can force opponents to need removal before I even utilize my commander; which can then be followed up by falling right back into the main gameplan with Anikthea. Sure, by themselves and without the context of the decklist, they aren't going to be doing much; but when they offer additional value for a majority of the plays being made with this list, I think they become a lot stronger of effects/includes.
I have similar opinions regarding Mirkwood Bats, Grim Guardian, and Bastion of Remembrance. Outside of pure game-ending combo packages, and B4+ decklists, I typically consider cards that I categorize as ‘Finishers’ as the cards that will win the game if you have already gotten your gameplan going. They're not cards that are supposed to end the game just by themselves, in my opinion, but more-so win the game once I’m already doing a lot, by capitalizing off of my deckbuilding choices. To that end, I would argue that adding the drain/ping effects like Mirkwood Bats and Grim Guardian are actually raising the power cap, relative to a more alpha strike-based gameplan, especially since they ping when my enchantment tokens ETB; which is why I started to transition them into the list. Unfortunately Bastion of Remembrance is probably the weakest option since it triggers off creatures dying. But the fact that it's an enchantment, that also provides a token body on the side, has kept it in the list up till now. Ideally I'd have a much bigger suite of on-theme ETB drain effects; I'm just waiting for them to be printed! I'm trying to maximize the value I can get from the tokens produced by Anikthea ASAP; especially since exiling your own enchantments to make token copies is a fragile strategy. The pinger effects guarantee some sort of payoff that's headed towards winning the game without having to worry about attacks.
Palantir of Orthanc... I know I should cut it for something more on-theme, I do love this card though lol… If I were to cut it, I'd want to replace it with another piece of card advantage; this deck can be really resource hungry. Similar thoughts for Mindwrack Harpy: I'd want to replace it with a different piece of on-theme card advantage if anything. I actually really like Mindwrack Harpy and sure, relative to something like Rhystic Study or Esper Sentinel it's lower power; but it also puts in consistent work, especially in B3. I particularly like it because it typically offers card advantage during the same turn that it's played, and in my local meta having creatures with flying to block has been invaluable. I'm also a bit biased because I very rarely have had to worry about Mindwrack Harpy giving my playgroup card advantage as well, because up until recently I've primarily been the only one capitalizing off of my graveyard; and there is a good number of decks in my playgroup that care about topdeck manipulation so milling everyone has been almost all upside for me (we will see what the future holds since graveyard synergies are starting to become more common in my meta). In my experience Mindwrack Harpy has also gotten a disproportionate amount of removal thrown at it in my playgroup, so it also acts as a lightning rod to draw removal away from key pieces.
I think I'm going to hold off on adding Familiar Ground to the formal decklist right this second, but I am going to swap it in for Flowering of the White Tree and do a bunch of playtesting in the meantime! Thank you again for taking the time and energy to check out the decklist and offer your insight, I appreciate it!

Whenever you a counter is removed from a permanent an opponent controls, you may draw a card.

ImNotTylerAllen on Ultima (Lemme Suck Ya Lands)

The clown car is in there because I think it's funny, that's really it.
I added Roaming Throne for the extra redundancy, I like the idea of Ultima taking my opponents lands and turning them into wastes, so with the three cards you mentioned I can stack those triggers pretty significantly. It's an expensive add when I only have ONE god card, but I like being able to make two (or even four lands) into useless mana sources for my opponents.
Glasses of Urza is just a cute little addition, but I'm not married to it, same with Skittering Invasion, while Ultima does make most of my lands tap for an additional colorless, there's no guarantee these cards will be in hand when I'm popping off. Extraplanar Lens and Forsaken Monument can help along with the Rings and Basalt combo for mana ramp. Spectral Sentinel is just a call because of the nonbasic lands and the juxtaposition of the nonbasics my opponents will inevitably use, but another card I'm not married to.
That all said, I do really really like your point about the utility of colorless lands. Ill be tinkering with a handful of these suggestions and update the deck. Good looking out dude.

legendofa I thought about it but synth plays pretty poorly with the madness cards. Melded Moxite was also considered but it feels overcosted and doesn't curve into early imps or bone picker which is the idea behind this deck, backed up by tortex+madness bottomless grind value. The Tortex interaction keeps us gassed up and grinding through the late game without needing to waste slots on card advantage, giving us a snappier early game.

All 5 Princess Yue die at the same time, and thus trigger at the same time, but each trigger is added to the stack separately and resolve one at a time. In short, you'd end up milling 60 cards with the original Ruin Crab and the 5 land copies.

You're clones will always enter as copies of Agent of Treachery. What Rhadamanthus said is largely correct, however, if you choose to apply Infinite Reflection's replacement effect first, Clone will now be entering as Agent of Treachery and no longer have it's own ability, so that replacement effect no longer applies and you end up with Agent of Treachery. If you apply Clone's effect first, you'll then have to apply Infinite Reflection's ability as it's still relevant, and end up with Agent of Treachery.

Sorry, I didn't understand the first time that all of the secondary questions were also based on a Consecrated Sphinx becoming a Moon.
Yes, it looks like you have the right idea in all of those situations.
- In the first one, Copy Land would be a Sphinx with the added enchantment type
- In the second one where Impersonator comes back as a Sphinx/Moon land, its copiable values are just the characteristics of a regular Sphinx, not the Moon land part from the Princess effect, so any copies of it will be a Sphinx
- And for Vesuva and Thespian's stage, yes they would be Sphinges
