DreadKhan on Mishra's attackers

1 year ago

Berserkers' Onslaught is pretty handy if you've got big attackers, double power and first strike is sweet for 5 mana. Rite of the Raging Storm can help by giving you a 5/1 every turn to swing with, while also giving everyone else one to swing at anyone but you, which helps create some chaos as long as people don't run big blockers, and even if most people do, just someone not having a blocker will make that 5/1 a slow, steady source of damage, and people must hold back a blocker for it or take the 5. I like Onslaught with Rite, and if I can get a Mask of Griselbrand and Exquisite Blood you can do a tremendous amount of work with a 5/1, including drawing 5 cards when it dies. Mask is good in general in my experience, evasion is helpful in Rakdos, as is Lifelink for various 'pay life' effects that you might want to run. Some of those include Phyrexian Purge and Fire Covenant, both very strong old cards in many metas, but they work best with some life gain. 2 more cards that cost life and tend to feel pretty good in EDH are Ashes to Ashes and Reckless Spite, hitting 2 bodies is pretty helpful, and black Exile isn't super-common.

Kyren Negotiations are an interesting option if you have lots of goblins but can't swing through a Propaganda. Make an Example is very good value, you choose what dies (not targeted), and each player loses at least their best creature, maybe more). Volcanic Offering is a really solid card that can deal with 4 things that are bothering you if someone else is feeling helpful, but it can never directly hurt you, this can shut down an archenemy with one spell. If you find yourself troubled by Blue decks, there are Boil, Boiling Seas, Omen of Fire, and Citadel of Pain that are pretty helpful vs Blue and 2 colour Blue decks.

You might look at Rite of the Raging Storm and Exquisite Blood, maybe Berserkers' Onslaught, even a Mask of Griselbrand as a backup to your Skullcap idea, paying 3 to draw 5 always feels great in my Pavel build, and the Evasion/Lifelink are often relevant. I run a ton of wipes and removal, perhaps the best of which is Make an Example, which is just backbreaking to any deck reliant on having a specific creature on the board, and it hits each opponent in such a way that it's almost impossible to protect against short of countering it. As my deck hates being interacted with itself (it's full of chonky spells/effects just begging to get countered) I run Boiling Seas and Omen of Fire, alongside a Citadel of Pain, Pavel can soak up a lot of spare mana anyways. Pyroblast and Red Elemental Blast might be more reasonable than adding Boil, but the deck loves hosing Islands for some reason. Since I run lots of board wipes, I tossed in Tyrite Sanctum and Daring Fiendbonder to give stuff Indestructible. I mostly run utility creatures like Agitator Ant or token generators like Ophiomancer and Ogre Slumlord, I'm presently at 16 creatures in the 99, so it doesn't usually matter if I'm wiping the board 3 or 4 times in a game. It's not unusual to win off of a timely Thieves' Auction, it's funny when you have a deck full of questionable permanents, some people will just scoop to it as well, it's a salty card to some. I mean if you're already running Omen of Fire, why not throw in Thieves' Auction?

Hope some of these ideas can synergize with your build, Pavel is a great under-utilized Commander, I built him more janky, but the deck is truly a blast to play.

Especially the red one is questionable if it ever gets printed, because of its silly combo potential with Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle. For the modern Primeval Titan decks, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove already does the same, I know, but that one can't actually be found by Primeval Titan itself.

The blue one too, would have way too heavy implications on modern, with Boil and Choke being modern legal cards, and the same goes for the white one with Flashfires also being a modern legal card. Seeing how Armageddon was never in Modern either, I suppose it might take a while until they might ever show up, and if they do, it will probably be in a commander product.

Deforestation

Scorcery

Destroy all forests on the battlefield gain for each forest destroyed if X is 8 or more add two mana of any color combination for each forest destroyed

Bringing back old land hoses like Acid Rain or Boil. Plus took some inspiration from Orcish Lumberjack (which I'm sad he's not in plaid)

Create a legendary a card based off the last villain you watched or beaten

ThatWeirdPerson - Boil was in the deck, and I originally had a lot more land destruction like that, but with the current EDH format, land specific destruction cards may be less useful than I expected. Stench of Evil and the like are also in the maybeboard, so if I get around to getting all the cards and can test it IRL, then we shall see. Sadly, Ral, Storm Conduit is the only current win condition in the game, if you get a permanent target and Radiate so for now it will stay unless the deck actually wins in another way.

legendofa - Thanks for the suggestions, and I like Crypt Angel so we shall see how that goes. There aren't a ton of creatures, but it does target specific colors and has protection so...who knows. Thada Adel, Acquisitor is an interesting idea and makes me wonder if I could leverage landwalking abilities in this deck way more to win games, so could end up being the only reliable win condition with the deck.

Boil is great in this deck to wipe out opponents mana sources, run it over Ral, Storm Conduit

I meant to type Curse of Opulence. Once had a game where me and another player both cast this on an opponent on turn 1.

Boil would be my suggestion. Costly, potential deadcard, you don't need all of the anti-blue redundancy unless blue is prevalent within your meta. Orcish Settlers and Harsh Mentor are also potential cuts. You really want to play cards that ramp you, draw you and promote your game plan. Potential swaps could be Wheel of Misfortune for card draw. I would find cards that add treasure tokens or ramp you such as Sword of the Animist (eventually dockside one day), etc...

Sculpting Steel to copy your mana doublers, ramp or any powerful artifact on the board. Definitely add a bit more artifacts and remove some LD. For example, swapping Price of Progress for Commander's Sphere provides you with draw and ramp rather than potentially being anti-synergistic with blood moon. I think rather penalizing them for utilizing nonbasics via damage, why not go all in on crippling their mana base rather than hurting them a little? Once they can't cast spells, there shouldn't be much resistance, not to mention it's counterbait for blue.

What is your meta like? That can help determine cuts better as well as I don't know what silver bullets you may or may not need.

Lietenant looks nice on paper at a glance, but tbh I feel like he's for vamps with a very low, fast curve, and imo at least 8 turn 1 creatures.

Reasons to play Orzhov would also include Edgar, Charmed Groom  Flip, Blood Baron of Vizkopa, Adanto Vanguard and Welcoming Vampire. Edgar is the same base effect as Lietenant for twice the mana but Edgar has a much better body, being out of bolt range immediately and immune to Vanishing Verse, and even if he eats a Push or Unholy Heat he doesn't STAY gone. White also gives you access to some of the best sideboard cards ever made including things like Stony Silence and Rest in Peace.

Reasons to play Rakdos are numerous. Stromkirk Noble, Stromkirk Captain, Olivia Voldaren, Insolent Neonate, Falkenrath Pit Fighter, and from the non-creature side, Lightning Bolt, Terminate, Dreadbore, and a whole host of sideboard options like Rakdos Charm, Abrade, Shatterstorm, Boil, and so on.
