libraryjoy on What strange old commanders do …

The oldest commander I've built and kept around is Asmira, Holy Avenger. It's probably due for a budget-y update as some of the cards are increasing in price and could probably be replaced with new cards (updates logged were just for editing description). We Who Are Going to Die Salute You - Asmira EDH and Asmira, Holy Avenger Budget Human EDH. At one time I had Kangee, Aerie Keeper, but no longer have a list for it.

I've built quite a few Kamigawa legends as well, including recently Patron of the Moon, Yomiji, Who Bars the Way, Celestial Kirin, and Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant  ^Flip

Earnest Fellowship is great in a multicolour-centric deck like yours. It's definitely worth including, but it will be somewhat of a nonbo with some of your targetting spells.

Supply / Demand is either a tutor or an army in a can.

Dragon Arch not only tutors, but will put the creature directly into play for you.

Archon of Valor's Reach can save you from boardwipes or spells you know your opponent might cast. Very useful to have in your deck.

Guildmages' Forum can distribute some free counters occasionally. It's not the most powerful card, but it's free value and filtering on a land.

Pillar of the Paruns is also pretty great in your manabase.

Vivid Revival seems like a great choice for card advantage in your deck, though doesn't necessarily do much when your Commander is out.

You're missing out on some multicoloured ramp creatures: Zhur-Taa Druid is such a good ramp card in multiplayer. It ends up dealing so much damage if played early. Knotvine Mystic seems to fit perfectly. You should definitely pick up a copy of Mirari's Wake.

There are a few boardwipe creatures that could interest you: Novablast Wurm and, if you want to be that guy, Realm Razer.

In terms of cuts, Asmira, Holy Avenger, Bloodshot Cyclops, Gruul Spellbreaker and Conclave Cavalier seem like a good place to start. I would start by adding more ramp since this is what you're missing most.

If you want a token commander that's Selesnya but works like it's Golgari and can suddenly transform from tokens to voltron if you have a sac outlet, there's always Asmira, Holy Avenger

Hi! Great deck man!

I don't know Your opinion about infinite combos, but if You add Fiend Hunter then You could create infinite mana and infinite counters on Asmira, Holy Avenger with Sun Titan/Karmic Guide + altars, or + Blasting Station and everyone dead.

Great choice of commander!

@synonimous_: Thanks for the kind words! I'd be happy to build you an enchantment deck but how about a different commander? Enchantments don't really play into Karametra's strengths. If you have your hopes set on Selesnya, might I suggest Asmira, Holy Avenger, Krond the Dawn-Clad or Sigarda, Host of Herons. If you don't care about color, you could also look at my decks: Srama Lama Ding Dong - Sram $40 Budget Voltron, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger - Uril $40 Budget and Whoomp! Zur It Is - Zur $40 Budget Enchantments.
