NV_1980 on Inalla - A New Foe Has appeared

Hi,

So I play-tested this a few times. What stood out most to me is that the deck lacks a bit in win-conditions. In terms of dealing damage to the opposing side, your best bet is currently summoning wizards and their copies with Inalla and then using cards like Impact Tremors and Purphoros, God of the Forge. The other win-conditions are powerful, one-use sorceries like Exsanguinate and Torment of Hailfire. I'm not seeing much else you can do to swing games in your favor, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I would advise to add some more avenues in here that will help you win. Make combat with your wizards more feasible by adding Marchesa, the Black Rose. As long as your wizards harass the opponent with the most life, they'll return to the field even if they die during combat (which allows you to benefit from their ETB's again). Cyclone Summoner and/or Galecaster Colossus can be used to put your opponents on a massive disadvantage in terms of battlefield presence. How about using Beguiler of Wills or Havengul Lich to steal whatever you fancy on the opposing side? The deck might also benefit from a few more powerful spells (especially since you already feature several means to retrieve them, copy them, etc. Clone Legion? ExpropriateGC? Rite of Replication?

I'll take a better look at it later, but here are some card suggestions for the meantime: Tectonic Giant, Prophetic Titan, Glimpse the Cosmos, Lightning Bolt, Phantasmal Image, Sunrise Sovereign, Stinkdrinker Daredevil, Cyclone Summoner, Thundercloud Shaman (pardon if there are repeats or if they are already on your list). I'm not saying everything here should be used or is super good, this is more me listing out a bunch of ideas and options. I'm sure you're more in it for the fun and the casual, but with everything said, this deck will have a hard time in the current meta with all the crazy turn 2 wins and shenanigans. However, you never know when Wizards will release some pretty cool giant stuff in upcoming sets.

Aegar, the Freezing Flame for card draw,

Cyclone Summoner for another Cyclonic Rift.

Fun list! Have you played with this deck yet? How does it perform? I'm interested to know if you often get to cast your high cmc cards like Cyclone Summoner. I have a Giants deck too, but I'm worried I'll die before I can get my big guys out.

This is a really solid build of an overlooked commander.

Clout of the Dominus is worth a spot.

Obsidian Battle-Axe you have a few other warriors in the main deck that would benefit from this. Could go wider and add Anger. Or both?

Negate could be upgraded to Dovin's Veto.

Divine Reckoning quality removal for this strategy.

Realm-Cloaked Giant is awesome tech! Maybe Cyclone Summoner since they are very similar.

Calamity Bearer something to think about. Narrow but definitely interesting.

Cyclone Summoner

Glasspool Mimic  ^Flip

Assuming that Glasspool Mimic  ^Flip was cast from hand, you will get the bounce trigger. When an object refers to itself by name it is referring to the object it is on. The bounce trigger is an ETB, and there is never a time when the Glasspool Mimic  ^Flip is on the battlefield and not a copy of Cyclone Summoner.

So to answer your question from the Advertise thread, the deck itself doesn't seem to be the problem. Your amount of ramp and interaction looks fine, and it's kind of hard to not play enough value cards in blue.

As seamonsters tend to be massive, maybe you really are getting ganged up on. To prevent this, Propaganda and Dissipation Field might be useful.

Krothuss itself is pretty small. Maybe include some ways to make it unblockable or protected. Whispersilk Cloak seems useful here, and Key to the City is especially cool here, as it helps you set up the transformation on curve and then helps Krothus get through.

Tidespout Tyrant would be a great addition in the fatty department. It's similar to hullbreaker horror, although it's not a seamonster. You could also try Cyclone Summoner as an additional boardwipe. Keiga, the Tide Star and Kokusho, the Evening Star are always great copy targets. And Wormhole Serpent does multiple things the deck wants.

Personal preference suggestion:

Drop Vapor Snag, Flame Slash, Coalition Relic, Cyclone Summoner, Sulfur Falls, and Lavaglide Pathway  ^Flip.

Add 3x Heartless Summoning, 4x Expressive Iteration, 4x Bloodstained Mire, and 1x Blood Crypt.
