Crow_Umbra Thanks a lot for the suggestion! Warleader's Call is a bit out of my budget, but I will keep an eye on it.Flowering of the White Tree is going directly onto the sideboard and it is a more manageable price.

If you can get your hands on a copy or two, I'd recommend Warleader's Call as a swap for Impact Tremors. Flowering of the White Tree might also be a potential swap with the Paladin Class in your sideboard.

Just getting to your message, since it was about 4:30am in California when you replied lol. Yeah, Moraug won't work with Sword of the Animist like that. Right now you only have 3 lands that could potentially get you 2 Landfall triggers during your mainphases (Fabled Passage, Evolving Wilds, & Terramorphic Expanse). Without the access to Green effects that increase the number of lands you can drop per turn, I don't think Moraug fits well with the deck. Even with a few Fetchlands to increase the quantity of lands that can get an extra land drop each main phase, I still don't think Moraug moves the needle much here.

Given the number of basics you're currently running, Sword of the Animist would be a better fit than Moraug, or could maybe swap with Two-Handed Axe. If your aim is to go wide with the deck, then doubling the power of a single creature (extra with Isshin), might not be as impactful, especially since about 9 of your 32 creatures have built in evasion (flying & trample), or grant an evasion anthem (menace).

Lastly, I think you could probably swap Paladin Class for Flowering of the White Tree. It gives the blanket Ward 1 that Paladin Class kinda does at its 1st level, & gives a more substantial static buff to all your Legends & same general static buff as Paladin Class, with less mana investment. Paladin Class is 7 mana to get to its 3rd level.

Pretty solid deck! I haven't made a mono colored deck in a while, but Red, White, and Black are the ones I'd probably take a shot at. Just a few quick ideas for stuff that might fit here:

• Scapegoat and/or Brave the Elements are pretty cheap protection options.

• If you're not opposed to Universes Beyond, Flowering of the White Tree could be an upgrade to Honor of the Pure. I've really liked it in my aggro decks that can run it. Mostly suggesting since I saw you already have Minas Tirith in your land base.

• Fanatical Devotion could be a repeatable means of protecting your high value creatures by chucking.

• More generally speaking, but I think one of the cool things about mono color decks is that you can run more utility lands like Volatile Fault or Scavenger Grounds than multicolor decks can typically get away with.

Best of luck with your deck if you've had a chance to play it irl. Ojer Taq seems ridiculous to get that creature token flowing.

To build off of lhetrick13's feedback, but I think you could replace Raksha Golden Cub with Sovereign Okinec Ahau. Sovereign is much lower to the ground, and works well with the pumping abilities you already have in the command zone, and sprinkled across your various cat lords. I think most people look at Sovereign and think it needs to be in a dedicated +1/+1 counter deck, but it is right at home in any strategy that can anthem up its creatures.

Additionally, I think you could replace Paladin Class with Flowering of the White Tree, if you're not against Universes Beyond cards. It gives all your Legends a static Ward 1, and anthems up your entire board. It's essentially the first 2 levels of Paladin Class with less mana investment needed, and a better baseline buff for your Legendary creatures. I've really liked it in the aggro decks I use it in.

Crow_Umbra on Should I Keep the "Demigod …

Swapping out Favor of the Overbeing for Sylvan Library seems like a pretty no-brainer swap. The Lifelink and Indestructible on the other two are arguably useful, even though their flying/unblockable are kind of redundant with the commander.

Flowering of the White Tree could probably be swapped for one of the other Demigod Auras, since it gives a static Ward {1} to your commander and other Legends, along with static P/T boosts to your whole board.

Just try out swapping any of the 3. Will probably lead to fewer "feelsbad" moments of getting 2-for-1'd on removal when one of those Auras is on a creature.

Ok, I have several suggestions for you. I'll try to break it down by category and keep it budget friendly.

Card Draw (load up on this effect, it's one of the decks biggest strengths): Aerial Extortionist doubles as annoying removal while drawing cards. Breena, the Demagogue draws cards and beefs up your dudes quick. Starscream, Power Hungry  ^Flip because the monarchy is pretty easy to take back and hold here and he's an artifact so he comes with a buddy. Tegwyll, Duke of Splendor is an anthem effect for faeries that draws cards. Bident of Thassa/Reconnaissance Mission will draw a LOT of cards here. Plumb the Forbidden I typically use in response to boardwipes so I have a grip full of cards to redeploy. Tocasia's Welcome is self explanatory. Robe of the Archmagi since Alela is a warlock.

Buffs/Counters: Anduril, Narsil Reforged's 2x +1+1 counters on everyone is nuts here. Skyhunter Strike Force will give everyone +3+3 just for attacking all 3 opponents. Nykthos Paragon is conveniently an enchantment and Alelas has lifelink built in (this thing is deceptively disgusting here). Flowering of the White Tree is another good anthem effect here.

Vault of the Archangel is expensive to activate but you typically don't need to. This affects combat in your favor just with the unspoken threat of potential activation. Hold up mana, be committed to using it if needed, and cast stuff on your 2nd main if you didn't activate it.
