In the Web of War

Enchantment

Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, it gets +2/+0 and gains haste until end of turn.

Seuchenschutz, thanks for the comment and suggestions

I have been looking to remove Solemn Simulacrum for a while. I have found I dont really need the land drop or 1 card draw in this deck so much. Of the cards you suggested, I really like Balor as a replacement. Having an extra flying blocker is nice. and the 3 card draw is funny. Any draw for my opponents that requires discard is always nice.

As for In the Web of War, I already have two haste enabling enchantments Fervor and Roar of Resistance. They both have a lower CMC, and although the +2/0 is nice, I usually have so many snakes in a 3-4 player game, it kinda doesnt matter.

I like Black Vise as a fun addtion, but not sure what I can take out for it. (thats always the hardest part. I will probably keep that one in my maybe board for a while.

Black Vise and In the Web of War are fun cards to play in the deck. Also Balor seems to be a perfect fit.

I have to agree with shadow63 generally relying on creatures like Ball Lightning is not the best idea in cmdr given the strategy is reliant on multi-combat or consistent recursion to get efficient use out of them. I think you would benefit from using more stable utility creatures like Etali, Primal Storm/Ilharg, the Raze-Boar and if you really want to drop a bunch of creatures at once Sneak Attack is a good option.

I'd also recommend including more stable ramp. Rituals are nice when you can set up a combo, but personally I usually prefer consistent ramp such as Boros Signet. Arcane Signet, Talisman of Conviction. Since you are combat focused Cursed Mirror might actually be worth considering as well.

Ardoz, Cobbler of War is a new card hat can give you that Ball Lightning-esque effect. Otherwise there are the high cmc versions in Ogre Battledriver and In the Web of War.

Utilizing tokens may also be a strategy worth considering especially since Boros still lacks in card draw although it is very slowly improving so if you are losing your creatures constantly you either need to recur them consistently or draw/create more creatures.

bobbyboo on Kresh from the Top Ropes

Hey goldlion , please excuse the much belated reply. This deck has been a little amorphous over the years, I had initially added a whole bunch of anti control with steal and fling elements but I found that it couldn't remove threats or reset the board quite so easily and would draw the ire of control players leaving the others at the table to get too unmanageable. By swapping the anti control to a recursion engine with repeatable sac outlets it made the deck play a whole lot more aggressively and, had the added bonus of more removal to get around these shortcomings.

One thing that might surprise you is that there are a number of draw spells that gel in to the main strategy and although I did have both Grim Haruspex and Harvester of Souls I found that they were a bit underwhelming if you are doing powerbombs from the top ropes. Greater Good is an all star in this deck as it can capitalise off a single giant creature, or multiple tokens that get the etb buff from Ogre Battledriver and In the Web of War . Rishkar's Expertise is another all star with a huge Kresh as the cast trigger let's you effectively cascade.

This deck ran Vicious Shadows which is an excellent card but because it and Purphoros, God of the Forge don't work off the creatures power or toughness it ended up not working quite so neatly. If I had a few more token generators it would be doable. Carrion does seem like a great card for that reason and I do have a Rite of the Raging Storm to add but I just never get around to it haha.

Thanks for mentioning the Cauldron Dance . I had loved the card when I first saw it (in like 2014 or so, before it's recent reprints), so I kind of built Kresh with it specifically in mind. I think it is so much value for 6 mana and at instant speed no less. Have used it to eat up two big attackers by dropping in even fatter bombs (which triggered Warstorm Surge and killed another player much to the horror of everyone else). There are a bunch of changes to make to this deck list so I will update it soon

TheMeadiator on Thantis

I love Thantis!! She's so amazingly fun.

A few things:

1) When Thantis is out, you can really only tap creatures at sorcery speed, so dudes like Goblin Diplomats don't mean much when she's in play. Which is fine if you're strictly using them to force combat on other people when she's not on the field.

2) Thantis likes being attacked, but you have lots of "don't attack me" deterrents in here. This is also fine, but you likely won't see many +1/+1 counters on her.

3) Your fog effects are great! Have you considered the flavour of Arachnogenesis, or even Undergrowth?

4) Totally optional, but there's a card called In the Web of War that is a thematic chef's kiss for Ms Warweaver.

Hi MTGPower314, thanks for stopping by + all of the suggestions. Here's my thoughts on all those cards:

  • Warstorm Surge: Great card albeit expensive to cast. That said, I love the effect and will be slotting in the freshly spoiled dragon equivalent: Terror of the Peaks
  • Fatal Frenzy: I like this! A less efficient Berserk, but it's on theme with what this deck tries to do. Definitely up for consideration.
  • Flameshadow Conjuring: I just removed this card from the deck to make way for the superior Molten Echoes. Not that redundancy is a bad thing, but substitutions are getting tricky for me here.
  • Frontier Siege: Really like this card too and ran it in this deck previously. Although I like the options/versatility, I found that I was always using it for ramp (Khans) and ended up subbing it out for more efficient ramp.
  • Somberwald Sage: Decent mana dork but too narrow (creatures only) & too slow. I like my current ramp options and don't see an obvious trade for Somberwald.
  • Shaman of Forgotten Ways: Not running for the same reasons as Somberwald. Although his formidable ability is hilarious, I want my opponent(s) dead long before that 11 mana requirement.


    • I hear what you're saying re. Crucible of Fire & In the Web of War. They're kind of clunky and I may sub them out for more efficient options, good call.

    I love absolutely everything about this deck. Don't change a thing ;)

    Well, except that I would love to see Squee, the Immortal in there, and Furious Assault in addition to the Impact Tremors you already have, because you have no enchantment fetch, and that's a good effect.

    Other cards possibly overlooked that are worth looking at:

    Though I could never conceive of a list of cards you could remove to fit all of that in.

    Finally, I do think that Chandra, Torch of Defiance is a better Chandra for this deck than Chandra, Fire Artisan. In my humble opinion.

    Anyway, I started this giant comment by saying you shouldn't ever change a thing. I mean that. The deck looks amazing as is. These suggestions are just food for thought.

    Cheers!

    Pain Magnification, Fervor, Rakish Heir, and In the Web of War are all decent red cards I run in mine, with Larceny and Oppression to add to the discard theme.
