Dreadship Reef Discussion

yant0028 on Atraxa - Ohhhh, you wanted to play Magic...

1 month ago

Thanks, Delta-117. We're mostly on the same wave length for what cards come in/go out, but my main issue right now is that the main core of the deck still has too many cards in it. I still need to cut 6 cards and am struggling to choose which cards get the axe.

When in doubt, my brain tells me to lower the curve, but I feel like everything plays a role to some degree. I mean, Sun Titan and Nissa, Vital Force, for example, recur Stasis and blown up stax pieces, helping to disrupt other peoples' late games. Is that too narrow, considering how far they are up on the curve? Or could I stand to shave a board wipe like Austere Command or Merciless Eviction? I like these because they're selective and versatile, but maybe I already have enough interaction elsewhere in the list? This is what I'm struggling with mostly... there are so many cards I'd LOVE to find room to include, but I already have too many :/

Obviously there's no substitution for play-testing to answer these questions, but I don't get to do a lot of that these days... I was hoping someone out there with a better "EDH eye" than I have could suggest where to start in terms of cuts.

Regarding some of your other suggestions, I absolutely intend to pick up a copy (or 4) of As Foretold, Gideon of the Trials, Archangel of Thune, Oath of Ajani and Chasm Skulker. I just refuse to buy over-priced Standard cards (or prime reprint targets) knowing that it's only a matter of time before they come down a lot in price. Skulker and Oath are just waiting on a Wishlist notification from my LGS before they're added to my collection :)

Kalonian Hydra seems kinda sweet when you get to live the dream, if maybe a bit win-more? I don't own one but I might I add him to the wish list anyway to pick up at some point. I see it competing for the same slots that cards like Master Biomancer, Forgotten Ancient, Corpsejack Menace currently occupy. Because I'm already struggling to make cuts, which of these would you replace with the Hydra, if any?

I actually sold my playset of Primordial Hydras a little while ago... Everyone knows what the card is capable of so it has a huge target on its head. At the end of the day, it's still just a single threat. It dies to removal, gets tapped down with a single Opposition or Staff of Domination activation, gets nullified by a Capsize every couple turns, etc. Not saying the card is bad for these reasons, I just like the 4 cards mentioned in the previous paragraph a bit more because if they're allowed to do their thing, at least they distribute their power/effect across multiple threats, even if the buildup is slower.

I will give some more thought to Lifeblood Hydra... I initially dismissed it because GGG in a 4-color deck seems like asking for it, but it is a late-game card so that should be less of a concern. That said, I also have no sac outlets in the deck, so unless I'm going to spend one of my own "destroy a creature" cards on it, it gets exiled or bounced for zero value. That's a big investment of mana for potentially zero return. In a deck running green that also plays a few sac outlets though? Sure, the Hydra provides a great late-game threat with a built-in insurance policy :)

Lastly, I'm not sure I need the "no max hand size" cards, but I suppose I could try running Reliquary Tower in place of another colorless land like Dreadship Reef. I probably don't need 3 storage lands in here anyway.

Thanks for your suggestions, and sorry if it seems like I'm not open to your suggestions, I'm just at the stage of deck-building with this deck that I need to be very analytical about my choices. There's SO MANY cool cards that can do into a 4-color, versatile commander list like Atraxa that it's already really hard to find space for anything.

P.S. Pro-tip: Before you submit any form online (e.g. a forum thread or comment on tappedout), do a quick CTRL+A -> CTRL+C to copy your post to your clipboard. If your session has expired or there's an error in the middle of the submission, you still have your post in its entirety in your clipboard ready to be pasted in again. Or just write your really long posts in a text editor first! This has saved me quite a bit of time/frustration on several occasions now :)

Honor_Basquiat on Atraxa Superfriends

Your list is cool and I can see has already made many improvements since the last time I saw it, here is some constructive feedback you may want to consider. For the most part I avoided recommending creatures because it appears you are going for a very limited creatures sub theme.

Planeswalkers you should consider cutting:

Ajani Unyielding (minus ability seems good, but it's really win more because you have very few creatures. This means it's only good if you already have a lot of planeswalkers on the battlefield. Plus ability isn't good because you have very few creatures and Atraxa already has lifelink and vigillance. I also don't like that it's a 4 drop because it shares the same CMC as Atraxa and you are more likely to want to play them on the same turn.)

Jace Beleren (Decent, but there are better card advantage engines. Double blue is also strict for a budget mana base, but this card is very good if you only minus and Atraxa is out).

Tamiyo, Field Researcher (plus ability is decent at discouraging attackers, but it is difficult to guarntee card advantage because you have so few creatures. I also don't like that it's a 4 drop because it shares the same CMC as Atraxa and you are more likely to want to play them on the same turn.)

Sorin, Solemn Visitor (plus ability hardly does anything because you have so few creatures and Atraxa already has lifelink. Minus ability isn't really worth the mana. I also don't like that it's a 4 drop because it shares the same CMC as Atraxa and you are more likely to want to play them on the same turn.)

Planeswalkers you are not running currently but should consider including:

Kiora, Master of the Depths (plus ability is ramp/mana fixing and has good synergy with mana dorks, minus ability is card advantage).

Tamiyo, the Moon Sage (very powerful plus ability, and with proliferation, she can ultimate quickly which is very powerful. Her minus ability can also generate a lot of cards against some match ups).

Karn Liberated (unconditional removal that you can repeat is a no brainer).

Removal Analysis

Your removal suite is good but the spells have too high of a converted mana cost on average. Higher converted mana cost is ok for spot removal, but if this is the case, the cards should be very verstaile (i.e. Sultai Charm)

Budget Options:OustCondemnGo for the ThroatUltimate Price

Nonbudget Options:Abrupt Decay

Vindicate

Maelstrom Pulse

Council's Judgment

Song of the Dryads

Card Advantage

Budget Options:Painful Truths

Fact or Fiction

Glint-Sleeve Siphoner (I know you aren't trying to run a lot of creatures, but it's a solid option)

Non budget options:Phyrexian Arena

Sylvan Library

Rhystic Study

Ramp Options:Nature's Lore/Three Visits allows you to search for shock lands or cycle lands that has the "Forest" sub type if you upgrade your mana base. These cards can also find Murmuring Bosk.

I understand you aren't trying to rely on creatures too much, but you should consider playing Avacyn's Pilgrim and Elves of Deep Shadow. Noble Hierech is very good but not a budget option.

Lands

I recommend you review my list to get an idea of what a 4 color optimized mana base can look like, but there will be some slight differences because you are running superfriends. From your list recommend you consider to cut Gavony Township because it doesn't produced color mana and you don't run a ton of cretaures anyway (although you have some tokens from your planeswalkers).

Temple of the False God also doesn't make colored mana, and doesn't do anything early game. Ancient Tomb is much better, but I'm not even running that one. If you were to run a colorless land, I would recommend Ghost Quarter or Wasteland.

I understand that you can proliferate Dreadship Reef but I don't think it's good because you have to pay mana to add counters to it, this makes it slow. Mirrodin's Core seems much better. Gemstone Mine you should be running for sure.

Feel free to check out my Atraxa list. It's different than your list because it is control and isn't superfriends, but I would imagine we both can learn from each other's lists and I'd love to hear any feedback you have.

Hi sonnet666,

I think I should specify sets before we go further. I'm definitely down to get a trade going though...

I have:

you have:

you have (lower priority):

I'm interested in as many of these as we can potentially trade for, thanks!

Hmm... more lands could help maybe? Storage lands are very useful for ramping with a such low land count.

Unfortunately there isn't a simic one, so maybe Dreadship Reef?

Firebones675 on The Many Many Many Arms of Mirrodin

Just so you know Bottomless Vault isnt modern legal. You could use Saltcrusted Steppe, Molten Slagheap, Dreadship Reef, Calciform Pools, Fungal Reaches or Mage-Ring Network for a similar effect.

Kraken's Eye also seems a bit out of place seeing as how you have no blue spells. Personally i'm not a fan of that cycle of artifacts but if you wanted to include any of them i'd go with Golem's Heart

Non-Basic Lands I Am Thinking of Adding:Blue/Black: Darkwater Catacombs, Dimir Aqueduct, Dreadship Reef, Secluded Glen, Sunken Hollow, Sunken Ruins, Temple of Deceit, Watery Grave.

Phoenix-22 on Atraxa counter shenanigans

4 months ago

+1 to Pentad Prism. It's broken in Atraxa builds, especially if you have other Proliferate triggers. Another card that is similar is Gemstone Array. It has the added ability to allow you to add counters when you have untapped land.

No Time Spiral storage lands? Dreadship Reef came in the Pre-Con. There is also Saltcrusted Steppe and Calciform Pools.

Inexorable Tide? It feels as critical as Doubling Season.

Give Etched Oracle a look. You can draw a lot of cards off him.

No Mikaeus, the Lunarch? I know the Persist trigger on Unhallowed is useful for board wipes, but the Lunarch is a great early game drop that will really strengthen your position all game.

Why not run synergistic lands like:

The Vivid lands: Vivid Grove, Vivid Creek, Vivid Marsh and Vivid Meadow;

The Fallen Empires Storage Lands: Bottomless Vault, Hollow Trees, Sand Silos, and Icatian Store;

The Time Spiral Storage lands: Saltcrusted Steppe, Calciform Pools, and Dreadship Reef;

Five Color lands: Gemstone Mine, Tendo Ice Bridge, and Mirrodin's Core;

And then there's Llanowar Reborn
