Mishra, Artificer Prodigy with Possibility Storm is an oddball all by itself.

A little shameless self-plugin, I'm currently building Grolnok, the Omnivore as a "flash-in from exile" style deck. If you're interested, you can find it somewhere on my profile.

Great deck here. A fellow Mishra fan and if it counts:

Mishra > Urza

(Imo)

I've wanted to build Mishra for a long time but no variant of Mishra (I'm referring to Mishra, Artificer Prodigy being dead a.f. from an EDH perspective) has ever been cool enough to have me build. This kinda changed my mind!

BulletBombFTW on How can I make creatues …

I posted this question in the modern forum since that's my primary format, but I quickly realized how strong this could be as a commander deck if it were possible.

I ran across Mishra, Artificer Prodigy and came up with the idea to create a Persistent Petitioners deck with Mishra as the commander. It would be cool to have a Thrumming Stone effect from the command zone for such a strong card. The only issue being that the petitioners need to be artifacts on cast to trigger Mishra. The hope was a card similar to Maskwood Nexus but artifact instead of changeling. That or something to combo with a Liquimetal Coating effect. I've tried scryfall searches with no luck so far. Perhaps there is a super old card that everyone forgot about...?

Thanks in advance to anyone with ideas!!

BulletBombFTW on How can I make Creatures …

So I came across Mishra, Artificer Prodigy and came up with the idea of making a Persistent Petitioners deck with it. The idea of getting a second petitioner off of every cast sounded insane, and would likely be even worse in EDH. But I couldn't find anything that would do it. The hope was something similar to Maskwood Nexus but instead of changeling, making the creatures into artifacts.

Thanks in advance to anyone that might be able to help!

I'd like to add to my ideas:

The Prosper build would really benefit from Toshiro Umezawa and especially Syr Carah, the Bold.

Finally, I have no idea if there's a commander that could even do it, but a GX version of Mishra, Artificer Prodigy around cards like Wild Pair and Panglacial Wurm would be pretty wild. Does anyone have an idea for a commander for that?

Brudiclad needs 2 things to function token-wise: Lots of tokens, and good tokens (usually token creatures). You want a lot of tokens that can then become your good tokens. Bear this in mind when making cuts and additions.

I'm seeing your proportions of your deck are a little skewed. Your land is very light...even the most competitive and low-curve decks have more mana than you're running. I would start with about 35-37 lands depending on how our final average CMC and included mana rocks look.

Remember your core strategy: you want tokens. You have so many planeswalkers (and a few other cards like It That Betrays ) that don't help that. Those are the first things I'd cut to make more useful tokens. Check out cards that allow you to 'turn' non-tokens into tokens you can use. Things like Cackling Counterpart and/or Feldon of the Third Path .

Defending yourself is also important, so more removal...counterspells, removal such as Pongify and Chaos Warp , and bounce spells such as Perplexing Test might be helpful.

Your deck needs a few more cards to boot. A commander deck has 100 cards in it, including your commander.

Final note: You cannot play Mishra, Artificer Prodigy in this deck...Bruidclad does not have black mana in it's identity.

It will also help people make suggestions for your deck if you move the list out of the Maybeboard and into the 'main' part of the deck, so we can look at mana curve, etc.

May I recommend Marionette Master , I ran it in a janky Mishra, Artificer Prodigy deck and it was a house

Anjuna on Commanders by Power Level [EDH Tier List]

The reason why Mishra, Artificer Prodigy might be ranked so high, could be due to its colour identity. Grixis has a mostly commander independent strategy (storm and Demonic Consultation + Thassa's Oracle for example) which by itself is a high powered strategy. Second IF you build Mishra, Artificer Prodigy using storm in mind with Possibility Storm this might result in a reasonably strong deck. Stronger than those of lower categories at least.

So, I believe the reason Mishra is placed so high is mostly due to the inherent strengths of its colour identity, which enable stronger decks even if the commander does not enhance said strategy
