MysticSnake, thank you for your patience. Since you didn't mention budget, I just put what I thought could work regardless of price point. You should add some non-basics to provide utility, also, add maybe 1-2 more lands just to ensure you don't miss land drops.

Rishkar's Expertise - Draw, either as a replacement or in addition to soul's majesty. Same with Garruk, Primal Hunter

Nylea's Colossus - Big Guy

Bear Umbra - Works well since they can't 2 for 1 u in response to cast. Nice buff and the "ramp" aspect is good, all while being an enchantment

Song of the Dryads - Removal!

Nyxbloom Ancient - Supe ramp!

Herald of the Pantheon/Cloud Key - Ramp

Season of Renewal - Recursion

Composer of Spring and Weaver of Harmony - Potentially worth considering

Rofellos's Gift - I actually don't like this card but worth mentioning.

Creeping Renaissance - Crystal chimes #2 but can be used twice and is more flexible

Overgrowth - Ramp

Sylvan Library - Draw/utility

Greater Good - Draw that is also a sac outlet to prevent theft and exile.

Formless0209 today there was a leak releasing information about the upcoming Eldrazi commander deck set to release in Modern Horizons 3. I have decided to get a jump on things and start building a deck in anticipation.

hydrothermia Ojer Taq is great in token decks for sure, however it only triples creature tokens and the deck is mostly focused on Treasure.

I tried it out a few times in the past and ended up cutting the card because of its high cost and low reward in Treasure Matters.

Tokens are outside my wheelhouse, but I'll do my best to help. Also, I see you run the Emeria Shepherd + Sakura Tribe elder synergy, nice!

Shamanic Revelation - Draw with a side of lifegain

Alhammarret's Archive - Double lifegain, double draw!

Harmonize - Simple draw

Elemental Bond - Steady draw

Skullclamp - You run a decent amount of mana dorks.

Reliquary Tower - Maybe not needed yet but once you add more card draw, it should definitely be considered. Currently, Creeping Renaissance could warrant this inclusion.

Greater Good - Such a good card for draw. Also helps prevent exile and theft tactics.

Momentous Fall - Used in response to removal. Beware of the blue player! Also note Life's Legacy.

I understand that tokens are secondary, but have you considered at least adding one token doubler card such as Doubling Season? Not necessarily doubling season itself given the price constraint but any one of it's close cousins can fit the bill.

Winding Canyons/Emergence Zone - Flash would help primarily with Felidar Sovereign, Sunblast Angel and combat tricks. It also helps you from over-extending your board

Castle Garenbrig - Ramp

Wow, I love this deck! I’m building a Sixth Doctor//Peri Brown deck on paper and this is very helpful.

I’m pretty new to magic but I thought Clara Oswald wouldn’t be able to trigger the doc an additional time because the doctor states his ability can only trigger once per turn. And Strionic Resonator works because it is actually copying the ability.

Let me know what you think!

Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation  Flip would give you three times as many tokens on top of using Anointed Procession and Mondrak, Glory Dominus, so in theory you can get 7 tokens off of one token. Only issue I see is that you're unlikely to attack(Though cannon fodder 1/1's would do the trick.) with 3 or more creatures to turn Temple of Civilization back over to Ojer Taq when and if he dies.

Crow_Umbra on Countdown to Infinity (Counters Primer)

Great mana curve! I love a great curve like that lol.

The tough thing with +1/+1 Counters strats is that there's always so many good options to choose from; some a bit more meta dependent & narrow than others for sure. A few ideas for potential considerations:

  • Ripples of Potential - Board protection & proliferation, but def the priciest of the recommendations

  • Mutational Advantage - A more narrow Heroic Intervention that can also proliferate.

  • Ravenous Slime - I've played this in a few counters decks, especially since I play in a meta with a decent frequency of Aristocrats & Reanimator decks. Def a more meta dependent option, but one that can get huge pretty quick.

  • Wave Goodbye - Should be fairly asymmetrical most of the time.

dnthymamai on Urza's Iron Alliance

Nice artifact deck!

I would suggest you think about some of these cards:


  • Super winning condition: Masterful Replication! Its second mode can turn all your artifacts (pesky 1/1 fliers and artifact lands included) into your best creature. That can be a Construct that Urza makes (or Bronze Guardian, etc). This way all of your "useless" artifacts can turn into death machines of extreme power or double strike. Plus, you can also save your whole board when the enemy casts Wrath of God by turning every one of your creatures into a Darksteel Citadel if you are lucky to have it on board.

You can probably eat it!

You get to stack the triggers so you do n - 1 sacs each upkeep, so let it grow to 3 - 4 and leave it out for a turn or two, then sac it to its own first trigger on the turn you are ready to dump it.

pair with something that makes tokens during your upkeep and its pretty sustainable

My answer - Both are good, it's not hard to add in given your land centric focus of the mono colored deck

nbarry223 on Viga-BOOM! (better mana)

Well, I ended up swapping Bonny Pall, Clearcutter main for Colossal Skyturtle side, it just answers a lot of problems that we couldn't answer otherwise, and isn't really that horrible as a threat with some protection as its absolute floor.

Bonny Pall, Clearcutter is super nice as an option in games with low amulets, but the double blue cost makes it hard to use in games vs red decks, which is a large percentage of the games we would want it for. That makes it mainly only for green decks, which we can just as easily race.

I might make the swap you suggested though since I added dualcaster it will win in more situations than souls fire (probably more even before I added dualcaster)

In some cases that extra damage to any target wins you the game, I get what you are saying, but no I did not think it made copies, stuff gets big

Gidgetimer on EDH Merens Reanimator

The most compact Hulk line is going to be Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Walking Ballista which requires you to add only Protean Hulk and Walking Ballista both of which are decent outside of the combo. The combo does require a sacrifice outlet, and I was having trouble thinking of how to grab one since the combo already uses all 6 CMC of the tutor and I am most familiar with the combo in Abzan where you get Karmic Guide. Luckily DreadKhan supplied the missing piece, if you add in Activated Sleeper you can tutor the Sleeper and Viscera Seer to provide the sacrifice outlet.

Combo I am describing in case you are not familiar with Mike and Ballista. Mikaeus, the Unhallowed gives non-human creatures +1/+1 and undying, so the Ballista enters as a 1/1 and doesn't die. Sacrifice Walking Ballista and it comes back with a +1/+1 counter. Remove the counter from Ballista and deal 1 damage to an opponent. Repeat loop of sacrificing Ballista and removing counter until all opponents are dead.

You are also already running Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, so you can add in a few low cost undying creatures and get that combo with low opportunity cost. Young Wolf and Butcher Ghoul are the easiest to cast ones since they only have a single colored pip. Treacherous Pit-Dweller, Geralf's Messenger, and Strangleroot Geist are perfectly defensible options too, though the pit dweller is more all-in on having a way to sacrifice for value before the trigger to give an opponent control resolves and as such I think isn't a great fit here.

In general you can also up the power level of the deck by adding tutors. The "good" ones you are not running are Worldly Tutor, Grim Tutor, and Vampiric Tutor.

Thanks for checking back in Profet93, and no worries. Emergence Zone is great! I have it in a couple of other decks that can surprise with Flash out of the colors you'd expect it.

I could likely swap Orchard or a basic. I feel like I tend to see Green and Black frequently enough that I haven't been lacking for colors via Orchard in the past.

+1 from me! I love this.

Wish I had some better or useful recommendations but maybe mainboard Phyrexian Arena and Molten Echoes? Swap out Aggravated Assault for Relentless Assault? Maybe the former is better for more uses out of it but I feel like that mana could be used for other things. That's all I got lol

Hypersayia9001 on Kykar kicks ass (Suggestions needed!) …

As a general addition, it always helps to keep your win condition in consideration when deciding on what cards you want to use in a deck.

Looking at it as is, I'd say you primary goal is to storm out your board with tokens form the likes of Young Pyromancer, Third Path Iconoclast and Kykar, Wind's Fury themselves, using the spirits Kykar gives you to help fuel a storm off.

This in mind, I think you'd actually want at least another full-board haste granter like Rising of the Day so you have an easier time swinging out when you go through a turn building a board state, and a few more 1 mana red cantrips like Expedite

I read your update, I'm unsure if I already suggested it so I apologize if so. Have Given your update and how seedborn + wild rec was instrumental, would you consider Emergence Zone or Winding Canyons? They are great for combat tricks + bluffing as well.

I think exotic orchard could be taken out given you are a 2 color deck, one of them being green. With orchard, there is a small chance that you don't get the color you need.

Crow_Umbra I mean, it looks fine to me, but just by looking at it you could swap out Vraska's Fall for something like Abyssal Gatekeeper, I know why Vraskas fall is there though. Most of the cards I would suggest are already in your sideboard, except for some like Cranial Plating.

i love to see another minotaur deck on here! and yours looks like a blast to play.

Though i wanted to let you know that maybe putting some menace tribal cards in here like Sonorous Howlbonder or Labyrinth Raptor could be a cool addition! I put these two in my sethron deck and i could say they work a treat and make defending my bulls a nightmare for my opponent, especially cause sethron can reliably give them all menace, along with Predators' Hour making it even cheaper to do so for one turn.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and if you think this would be a good move to include.

Zobeth on Zada, Hedron Grinder

I really like this Zada list! Unfortunately, Soul's Fire doesn't work how you probably think it should. Since it targets Zada and any other target it doesn't trigger Zada. You could try Heat Shimmer as another creature copy ability but this one also can copy an opponent if need be! Also, Feel free to join the Zada Discord
