TheAnnihilator on H: Devoted Druid Combo; W: ...

1 week ago

Hey all! I've recently decided to let go of my Druid combo stuff, since I prefer a more Pod-like approach as opposed to all-in combo, so I have the following available:

Playsets of:
Devoted Druid (Ultimate Masters)
Vizier of Remedies
Giver of Runes
Finale of Devastation
3 Duskwatch Recruiter  ^Flip
Eladamri's Call
Knight of Autumn
Birds of Paradise (2 M12, M11, Battlebond)

also:
1 Silent Clearing
2 Walking Ballista
1 Ranger-Captain of Eos
3 Postmortem Lunge
1 Chord of Calling (M15, Russian)
1 Collector Ouphe
3 Veil of Summer
1 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben (Dark Ascension)
4 Restoration Angel (Avacyn Restored)
3 Wall of Omens
1 Spellskite

So yeah, I'm keeping the lands, Hierarchs, Eldritch Evolutions, and Pod stuff (you can't pry Voice of Resurgence or Kitchen Finks from my cold dead hands), but most everything else I have is fair game. If there's anything else I may not have listed, feel free to ask about it. I probably have it. :)

I'm looking for:
Sword of Feast and Famine
4 Ice-Fang Coatl
1 Spell Queller
2 Monastery Mentor (I have 1 Korean if anyone wants to swap their English one)
1x Cavern of Souls (preferable Innistrad, either printing is fine tho)
2x Selesnya Sanctuary
1x Hornet Queen
I will also binder dive, but my binder seems to show only the foil/promos?

enpc on Saffi: Sac Back *cEDH Primer*

1 week ago

So a few other thoughts on the list (I saw your forum post):

You're running a few stax pieces (Aven Mindcensor, Gaddock Teeg) however these cards a generally less good that just progressing your win condidition if you're only running a few of them. I have seen Saffi stax builds before (Weenie Hut Jr is a good example and we have discussed many aspects of Saffi decks), however you need to devote more cards to it. Otherwise you won't get the value you want from it and you're just better off focusing on your win condition.

I also don't think that the Devoted Druid/Vizier of Remedies combo adds enough here. It's not like you're pairing it with Duskwatch Recruiter  ^Flip + Walking Ballista or something (and no, I don't recommend just adding this to the deck). The problem is that there's no real line with the combo. It's not like you can even assemble it plus Claws of Gix + Soul of the Harvest + Saffi to draw your deck, since you still can't spam Saffi from the command zone as you can't produce white mana. So the best case scenario is it enables a five card combo, as most of your other sac outlets are free and can at least form a 4 card combo with Altar of the Brood. In that same vein, I don't think that Claws of Gix adds much value either. I get that it's a sac outlet, however having these on creatures is generally better as you will have an easier time tutoring creatures and any artifact/enchantment tutoring is worth so much in Saffi since it can find stuff like Blasting Station.

On the other hand, I'm surprised you're not running Eldritch Evolution here. The card is awesome at setting up all kinds of combos as well as doing sneaky Grand Abolisher deployment (by sacing a medium cost creature, since you can get "X or less").

Vulnoth on Fur-Fag, The Deck

Upvote purely for the audacity in naming and describing your deck the way you did.

I recommend maxing out as many cards as you can for consistency, unless you just like particular cards too much to cut, which I'd understand. Rot Wolf will psych out a lot of new players because of Infect, but smart players will just tank the Poison Counters until dangerous levels because you have it inconsistently and it will cost you actual damage, so I'd cut it. Skalla Wolf sounds nice, but isn't worth the 5 CMC. Silverfur Partisan is great, but not in this deck as it wants you to run pump spells and the like, unless you play with people who pack spot removal into every deck. Spirit of the Hunt can do some cute tricks but nothing truly meaningful. Lastly, Emerald Medallion can do wonders for acceleration, but you'll lose games by only running one due to inconsistency, I'd personally cut it to include more relevant cards since you realistically only need one on board.

Duskwatch Recruiter  ^Flip gives you something to do with free mana and maxing Mayor of Avabruck  ^Flip helps accelerate tokens. Wicked Wolf can put in a lot of work purely because it picks off an opponent's creature on ETB. Ferocious Pup seems decent if you max out on buffs as it creates an additional body on ETB. Timberpack Wolf is worth trying, if only because Wolf as a tribe is limited.

Howlpack Resurgence is worth maxing due to Flash, and trying out Curse of Predation could be worthwhile for keeping your field swole. It's not truly a Wolf, but Metallic Mimic puts in work for tribal decks.

Hope this helps.

5dollarMTG I think that Nissa's Pilgrimage might come out to be better than Cultivate, since the deck changed to mono-green.

Wren's Run Packmaster is a great card, but an elf synergy is needed. In this case, 3x Sylvan Ranger, 2x Wren's Run Packmaster for 3x Duskwatch Recruiter  ^Flip, 2x Cultivate + 4x Llanowar Elves, might be ok.

So, I remembered when I discovered this format I thought Duskwatch Recruiter  ^Flip should be tier one. After some brewing and reflecting I've found that without all the rare/mythic bells and whistles it's actually pretty hard to break him; still strong as a midrange creature deck but not as strong as I'd like him to be.

multimedia on Yeva

Hey, nice budget version of Yeva.

Your deck doesn't have an official Commander because you haven't tagged Yeva in the decklist. In the deck editor add the text CMDR after Yeva:

1x Yeva, Nature's Herald *CMDR*

This will show Yeva as the Commander of your deck and display the Yeva card image.

Temur Sabertooth is very good with Yeva because you can bounce creatures and play them again at instant speed. Sabertooth is great with creatures who have an ETB ability such as Fierce Empath and Eternal Witness . Being able to cast creatures at instant speed with Yeva and bounce creatures with Sabertooth at instant speed can enable some combos such as Eternal Witness + Beast Within to destroy your opponents permanents. Woodfall Primus can replace Witness + Within to destory opponents noncreature pernaments. Great Oak Guardian + Ulvenwald Tracker can destroy your opponents creatures. Use this combo after you have destroyed your opponents permanents with Within given your opponents a 3/3 Beast for each permanent you destroyed or with Primus.

Consider adding all the one drop mana Elves? These Elves help to play Yeva faster or they can help afterwards with creatures who can make lots of green mana. The Elves who can tap for a lot of green mana can be the mana enablers for combos with Yeva or just use all the green mana to play lots of creatures at instant speed. Marwyn, the Nurturer is especially good with Guardian because each time Guardian ETB it can give Marwyn +2 more power and untap her. Marwyn + Guardian + Sabertooth can be infinite green mana.

Yeva + Guardian + Sabertooth + Marwyn is the mana engine because Guardian can untap all your creatures which includes Elves who can tap for mana and Sabertooth can bounce Guardian so you can keep casting it. With infinite green mana you can sink this mana into infinite activations of Duskwatch Recruiter  ^Flip to find all the creatures of these combos and put them into your hand. Yeva + Elvish Visionary + Sabertooth is another draw engine. Yeva + Genesis Hydra + Sabertooth puts all your nonland permanents onto the battlefield. (Witness + Within) or Primus + Sabertooth + Guardian + Tracker can be a win condition combo.

---

Cards to consider adding:

• Temur Sabertooth
• Great Oak Guardian
• Marwyn, the Nurturer
• Duskwatch Recruiter  ^Flip
• Beast Within
• Llanowar Elves
• Arbor Elf
• Elvish Mystic
• Fyndhorn Elves
• Priest of Titania
• Elvish Archdruid
• Sol Ring : staple mana rock in Commander.
• Wild Growth : good green ramp and with Arbor Elf .
• Overgrowth : good green ramp and with Arbor Elf .

Cards to consider cutting:

• 3x Forest
• Rampant Growth
• Cultivate
• Harvest Season
• Kodama's Reach
• Ranger's Path
• Tempt with Discovery
• Howl of the Night Pack
• Primeval Bounty
• Farhaven Elf
• Yavimaya Elder
• Apex Altisaur
• Rampaging Baloths

In mono green and with Yeva mana Elves are better than land ramp spells. Lore, Wood Elves and Skyshroud are fine land ramp spells because these put the Forest you get onto the battlefield untapped, but the other spells don't making them much slower than mana Elves.

Good luck with you deck.
