IQuarent on What if I changed Vorosh to Partners?

1 month ago

Vorosh is very weak. He wasn't even good when he came out, and since then he's been very powercrept badly. I've been wanting to build more partner decks with the 2016 partners ever since I bought those decks and this combination seemed like a natural fit. Adding white has also proved to be very beneficial.

This deck is built with high synergy in mind. Practically everything in the deck has to do with counters, Phyrexian Reclamation being one of the only exceptions. Jarad is a good card of course, and creatures in this deck get very large, but he has no synergy other than that. We also already have a way to win outside of combat with Simic Ascendancy.

I don't see Blade of Selves being good in here at all. It's only good with like 3-5 cards (Reyhan, Zegana and Quilled Greatwurm and arguably Railway Brawler and Ancient Bronze Dragon) other than those 3-5 cards it does basically nothing. There's a rule I follow in deckbuilding (the Rule of 7) where if I'm putting something in it needs to work with at least 7 other cards and this doesn't.

Gitrog is definitely a powerful card. It could potentially do work in here. That being said the deck isn't really hurting for card draw or ramp. One of the decks weaknesses lies in that there aren't enough cards that synergize with counters, ramp, and cost 3 are less to consistently get off to strong starts. Gitrog doesnt really shore up on that weakness being 5. I'll think about it.

I was aware of Agonasaur Rex (it's in the maybeboard as well as Basking Broodcale) and was considering giving it a try, the problem is there are already 3 protection spells in this deck (Mutational Advantage, Inspiring Call and Ripples of Potential) and they're all better. It's not needed.

Evolution Witness is already in here, I just haven't updated the description yet.

There are a lot of cards that do what Basking Broodscale does, namely Scurry Oak, Herd Baloth and Animation Module. I've tried several of them in the deck before and while making a ton of tokens can be good to combo, or on defense, or with Cathar's Crusade, I found that it's too much investment to be doing what is essentially a side objective. The deck doesn't need cards that are in there basically only to combo or to get incidental value when the main gameplan is already so effective.

indieinside on Byrke/finneas counter overload, WIP

You mentioned combos. Here are a few to suggest. I personally think that if it takes more than just two cards to combo, it isn’t worth it.

Cathars' Crusade + Herd Baloth = Infinite creatures and counters.

Cathars' Crusade + Scurry Oak = Infinite creatures and counters.

Herd Baloth + Ivy Lane Denizen = Infinite creatures and counters.

As for cuts, it really depends on the desired theme. You have too much for me to really make any firm suggestions. Green is known for mana ramp and you aren’t running any of that. These would be cards like Cultivate. Same thing with white. It is best known for card removal and I don’t see anything like that, with cards like Swords to Plowshares or Path to Exile.

As for what currently is in the deck list, if you can give me an idea of what the theme might be I could make some cut suggestions.

Hi, this looks like a lot of fun to play! Did you know that Rosie Cotton of South Lane actually goes infinite with Scurry Oak and Herd Baloth?

I will rather buy basic Counterspell than the denial. I'm not a big fan of filling opponent's hand with new cards to play.

Anguished Unmaking I do have in the wishlist in the main deck page but it wasn't available in my local card shop and I do not want to pay 2€ for a card and 10€ for shipping.

Vigor I do have in the list as well but same problem as Unmaking except this card is expensive by itself.

Ivy Lane Denizen is too monocolor focused.

Scurry Oak is pretty much the Herd Baloth but cheaper so might as well include it in the list but I already have Baloth IRL so don't see much reason to buy oak rn.

Genju of the Realm is pretty much just one of my most favorite cards. Was definitelly the top 3 cards I used 20 years ago. So the reason it is there is mostly nostalgia. Other than that it gives 5 +1/+1 counters on Ramos, Dragon Engine right away and triggers Alela, Artful Provocateur ability. Plus it is a 8/12 trample for 2 mana on demand. And if I put it on the indestructible artifact land then good luck getting rid of it. But sure I could see it replaced. It doesn't have that much synergy as the rest

Personally I would drop the Dispersal Shield, Path to Exile, Genju of the Realm.

Reasons and alternatives: Dispersal Shield, It is too situational / dependent on your CMCs. a better choice would be Arcane Denial in my opinion since it will replace itself.

Path of Exile, Removing a creature or one is good but giving your opponent a land is terrible. I think a much better choice even though the CMC is higher Anguished Unmaking can and will get rid of more problems other than just creatures.

Genju of the Realm, I think I know why your are running it looking at your commander. I would run Vigor instead since if worked right will net you far more counters.

I am also noticing you are wanting to run tokens it seems and have no qualms about infinite combos you might consider Ivy Lane Denizen with Scurry Oak since it is a combo you can end when you want to.

NeoLegacy on Toski's Squirrel Army

I also just did away with, Augur of Autumn for Ivy Lane Denizen, as Ivy Lane paired up with, Scurry Oak would give an infinite squirrel combo as well as infinite ramp for Scurry Oak.

Also replaced, Sword of Fire and Ice with Rancor. I just felt like I might be potentially overdoing it with the card draw, I don't want to accidently deck myself which this deck can potentially do if you're not paying attention. The protections are nice, but my only concern is keeping Toski alive and I feel I have enough of that already. This deck is gonna win most of the time off an army of pissed off squirrels anyways. Also felt, Rancor was a good fit for the single mana cost as it can go well with Toski or any other creature that could ramp up easily like, Scurry Oak with the Ivy Lane Denizen combo.

Only reason why I would use Finale of Devastation is if I’m aiming for an ultra budget build, but then again, I can just use dual tap lands and still use Chord of Calling. Look at it this way, before my opponents end phase if I have either Ivy Lane Denizen or Scurry Oak in the field and have plenty of mana to use, I can cast Chord of Calling to tutor either one that’s not on the field, I can get the combo going while it’s still their turn. And when it’s my turn I can immediately go to combat with however many squirrels I decided to create. Does that make more sense @Predator_90?

Predator_90 Instant > Sorcery. Why would I pay 10 additional mana for a sorcery? Chord of Calling have 2 targets: Ivy Lane Denizen and Scurry Oak. Paying that extra 6 or 7 mana for a sorcery makes no sense. Think about it. I don’t need that pump when I got 1 million squirrels. And on top of that if I have Impact Tremors, before I even get a million squirrels, opponent would be done at 20.
