I've had a lot of fun playing Party shenanigans with Burakos, Party Leader. I'm excited for future Typal batchings like Party and Outlaws, as I'm not the biggest fan of single creature Type Kindred/Typal decks.

Lol yeah when I was reading your Vihaan primer, that part about repurposing Prosper resonated with me.

No prob Journeytodiscoverychannel, all good. I have a copy of Saw in Half, but haven't used it in any of my decks yet. My best friend has used it to great effect in a couple of his Aristocrats decks.

I also don't currently own this deck in paper. Definitely more of a concept brew in case I'd ever want to change things up & retire my Burakos, Party Leader/Folk Hero deck.

I honestly like Mastermind Plum more for Burakos, Party Leader than Prosper, as someone who plays both.

Generally excited for the Suspect mechanic. Very interested in Nelly & Agrus Kos. At face value, I like the potential flexibility for Suspect to help push damage through, or leave attacking lanes more open. Seems like that last little something that Goad decks might need once they get into 1v1 scenarios.

The Heroes of the Realm is a series of promo cards given to WotC employees. Here's a more concise gallery of past Heroes of the Realm cards on Scryfall, griffstick.

Not saying Harper Recruiter would be the defacto Commander for a "Wizard from Beyond" background deck, but would help smooth things out lol. Burakos, Party Leader has at least part of "Wizard from Beyond" lol

Burakos, Party Leader is such a fun commander. I really enjoy the flexibility of having all the party creature types already in the command zone. I have a suggestions if you're interested:

• If it's in your budget, I'd recommend adding Roaming Throne. It has some incredible flexibility in this deck, and will always work with Burakos.

• There is an infinite combo option that can fit pretty seamlessly into this deck. It utilizes Leonin Relic-Warder + Animate Dead + an aristocrat like Zulaport Cutthroat/Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim. I like this combo because Relic-Warder and the reanimation pieces can all work as separate pieces, and don't really feel like dead draws outside of the combo.

• Might be more of a meta dependent choice, but Assault Intercessor is one of my favorite Warrior options for the deck. Admittedly, I do encounter aristocrats strats in my meta often enough to play this.

• Kutzil's Flanker is another newer option with Flash and graveyard hate as some enticing options. Another more meta dependent choice.

• I'd recommend checking out Emergence Zone and Scout's Warning as means of playing creatures at instant speed. Most of the creatures in Burakos, Party Leader/Folk Hero decks tend to be fairly low to the ground. Helpful to get some additional cantrip-y draw on other players' turns.

I hope these suggestions are helpful. I'm down to chat through any others if you're open to it. Burakos/Folk Hero has a decent suite of creature options to fine-tune to different metas.

Yeah, Grixis Marchesa is a very future-proofed commander. +1/+1 counters & support pops up often enough in sets. I get the sense Isshin will stay fresh for a long while, especially since he can now be built in a handful of different, but overlapping archetypes.

I feel like Burakos, Party Leader is another future-proofed commander, since the Party creature types are sure to get a few printed each set. Definitely allows for tool-boxy & meta adjustable variants.

Crow-Umbra Yeah, I sometimes switch Nalia de'Arnise with Burakos, Party Leader/Folk Hero its just down to how i'm feeling on the day.

To be honest i've never had a problem with the higher cost cards, i've always pulled the cards I need or wanted. I've played it about 20 ish times and its been pretty solid deck and won most of those games. It must be luck then ;)

Hi there! I think you might have a smoother time playing Burakos, Party Leader / Folk Hero as your commander. I also bought and upgraded the Party Time precon, and initially tried it with Nalia de'Arnise as the commander. I've found having Burakos at the helm and leaning more heavily into the Party focus can make for a very fun and resilient build.

You have a lot of strong and higher mana costed cards, so having some Treasure production in your command zone will help you cast some of your bigger spells more consistently if you decide to keep your deck in its current form.

All that being said, I think that although you have many strong cards in your deck, it does lack some cohesion and synergy. Although you have Maskwood Nexus in deck to turn all your creatures into Party members, you may not always draw it or tutor it out, so having your creatures be primarily be Party classes will help with consistency, regardless if Nalia or Burakos is the commander.

Having Burakos and even a couple Party creatures can have you pumping out 1-4 treasure per combat, which is nothing to scoff at. This opens up additional alternate win-cons like Revel in Riches, and creates some fun synergy with things like Agent of the Iron Throne, Disciple of the Vault, and Marionette Master.
