I quit for like 3-4 years when Summer Bloom was banned, and the deck’s evolved quite a bit since then (was either Tooth and Nail or Glittering Wish in the flex slots at the very beginning).

But thank you for the support. I do try to bump it at least once a day if I remember, as the community definitely helped to shape the deck multiple times.

Thanks, capwner! It is such a really fun combo, and adds such a layer of depth for the deck. It's just been a Collected Company deck for years, putting as many mini combos inside of it that worked.

It's funny that you mention Fury, because that was one of the pivotal cards that made me have to update and modernize the deck. It focused the deck on just the two card, most efficient combos, but still had to hope for the right drops against the right deck.

Agatha's Soul Cauldron was the final piece of the puzzle. It finally allows the deck to play through hate and interruption, and it adds so much more cohesion to the deck. My version of the deck adds in the Kitchen Finks/Viscera Seer combo, and the Devoted Druid/Vizier of Remedies combo, instead of focusing on the lifegain theme of other Heliod, Sun-Crowned decks. The addition of Glittering Wish makes it so much more consistent as a combo deck as well.

This new version of the deck I'm playing with has Sanctum Prelate as a backup almost playset to help the deck keep moving. Still messing with the numbers of each card, and seeing what I like.

Planning on writing a brand new deck description soon. But thanks for the kind words, and I definitely suggest playtesting it a bit yourself, the deck has been so much fun! :D

For clarity I'm going to use some notation to keep clear which game we are discussing at any point. G0 will be the main game G1 the game created from the first Shahrazad and so on.

If you cast a Shahrazad in G1 you will immediately start G2 and the player who loses G2 will lose half of their life in G1. Likewise if you cast a Shahrazad in G2 you will immediately start G3 and the loser will lose life in G2. Subgames start immediately and affect the game they were created in.

This is why Shahrazad is banned in all formats. With Glittering Wish you could conceivably have to play 9 games in a 4-of format to determine a single game.

Question: are these new adventure cards that span more than one color considered multicolored? Not asking about commander identity just looking to see if I can Glittering Wish an adventure spell. Unknown yet maybe.

Thanks, Batman18 for the kind words! Much appreciated :D. This deck has been the main one I've piloted since Collected Company first came out, and I knew I had my solution to the Birthing Pod ban. Glittering Wish just makes it all the sweeter

And nice deck there, yourself! I've always loved Solemnity, and have always wanted to find it a home. I love that you've combined both the Persist combo and the Prison combo into one deck, that's the way to do it! I've only ever seen them in independent decks, never really feeling like they're getting the utmost use out of the card like you are here :D

Gotcha, didn't see Glittering Wish mentioned so I figured I'd ask just in case. If Bring to Light works entirely better in practice, that's totally valid. I'll think on possible alternatives to The Gitrog Monster.

Gotcha. I figured having a searchable creature approximation of Amulet of Vigor could be worthwhile, but I can definitely see how another, less powerful one doesn't necessarily benefit the deck.

I see. I wondered if Wargate might be useful since it can get either a land for 3, an Amulet of Vigor for 4, neither of which Bring to Light or Eladamri's Call can do, while also getting creatures with enough mana. If those two upsides don't have enough payout, though, it's more expensive and not really worth it.

I ran Glittering Wish for a while (1 yr+ or so), but I found Fae of Wishes was a better wish option, since it had synergy with Turntimber Symbiosis  ^Flip and had more options when found with Mosswort Bridge. I ultimately cut it for Bring to Light in the current version. I definitely agree on The Gitrog Monster but I need a target for Bring to Light when I don't have Amulet of Vigor in play, and that was the best I could come up with. I am more than open to suggestions of an instant/sorcery or creature that does more at <= 5 CMC (4 or less would be ideal, as 5 CMC pushes it).

Lotus Cobra is also a card I ran for quite a while, and is okay, but doesn't really do much when we don't have lands in hand, and is less powerful than an extra land creature in most cases. If you can cast a titan, it is a free creature, since you get your mana back on the first land fetch, so it is pretty good. I view it as a less powerful Amulet of Vigor for all intents and purposes.

Wargate is a clunkier version of Bring to Light or Eladamri's Call (depending on CMC you want to find), so I prefer one of those two for the deck currently.

The Gitrog Monster and Turntimber Symbiosis  ^Flip stick out to me as maybe the weakest links. Grain of salt since I've never played with or against the deck. Thoughts on Glittering Wish, Lotus Cobra, Wargate? No idea if any of them would actually be good.
