Seance

Enchantment

At the beginning of each upkeep, you may exile target creature card from your graveyard. If you do, create a token that's a copy of that card except it's a Spirit in addition to its other types. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step.

Would you consider running Sundial of the Infinite or even Discontinuity for the end of turn exile triggers on Seance/Feldon of the Third Path/Mimic Vat/Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker?

I get that it might be a bit gimmicky and it doesn't do a lot without those cards but I used to have a casual modern that used that combo to limited success and it is pretty neat and fun when you have both pieces going. :)

Could also combo it with an effect like Skybind for some fun removal with the sundial but that's probably also too gimmicky.

I'm pretty keen to try out your deck and squeeze in sundial somehow, if I had to take out one card for it which would you recommend?

Awesome deck, though glad I found this!

Seance and Selesnya Eulogist could find a home here

Polaris on Does Sundial work with Seht's …

There's no interaction here. There's no delayed trigger involved; the protection just ends once you get to the cleanup step (after the end step - it's when damage wears off and "until end of turn" effects end). Sundial of the Infinite exiles everything on the stack and skips to the cleanup step, so regardless of when you use Sundial, Seht's Tiger's protection will expire immediately after Sundial's ability resolves.

"Until end of turn" just specifies a duration. A trigger will instruct you to take an action at that time. The kinds of effects ending the turn gets around are things that explicitly set up triggers, like Glorious End or Seance. These cards set up delayed triggers for a specific end step (not just "the end step," which will trigger every turn), and you can Sundial in response to the triggers to skip them permanently.

Nightmare Shepherd is one of the best as it adds a lot of functionality with no upfront cost and allows you to exploit sacrifice mechanics like evoke. Creating token clones with etb/ltb can easily become overpowered, especially when combined with populate. In fact I built a great ETB Roon EDH deck around it using cards like Yosei, the Morning Star, Protean Hulk and Wayfaring Temples that clone themselves. Token clone generation is amazing because it's essentially ETB blinking as a side effect. You have some cards that do it already listed under abuse but I think the mechanic is good enough and has enough viable cards that it might be worth making a new category for it.

Listing the ones that specifically clone or blink artifacts in their own group might be helpful too.

I mean splicer definitely becomes much better with the Ephemerate and Seance

+1 my guy!

I really like ghired. A 5 mana 10/10 is a lot of fun in commander! There are a few populate tricks you could lean in to if you like the Mimic Vat effects like: Feldon of the Third Path, Seance, Stone Idol Trap, Zektar Shrine Expedition, Angelic Favor... were my favorites.

I would try to lower the curve and play some more ramp. The more you consistently play ghired, the happier you'll be.

Cuts..?

-1Song of the Worldsoul... slow

-1Courage in Crisis... proliferate wut

-1Cryptolith Rite... ramp is better... or play Druids' Repository

-1Colossal Majesty... slow... < Life's Legacy/Return of the Wildspeaker

-1Beastmaster Ascension... slow

-1Tendershoot Dryad... great card, but it has little synergy when you already make so many other tokens

Cheers!

Even though you are primarily Giant-Tribal, you may still want to have a small suite of "Brion" cards.

I have a Feldon of the Third Path and Mimic Vat, both of which are extremely good in Brion decks. I also have a Adarkar Valkyrie, which can be good too.

Gift of Immortality is extremely good with Brion. I don't have one though.

Sigil of the New Dawn isn't the most efficient, but can be good.

I have a Serra Avatar too, which is the best Fling-able creature around. Evra, Halcyon Witness is great too, but I don't have one. It's cheap though. A Stalking Vengeance would double up Brion's damage, but I don't think I have one either. Reya Dawnbringer is way mana-expensive but can be useful with such pricey giants dying left and right.

Flameshadow Conjuring can be good with Brion too. I don't think I have one though.

Phyrexian Processor is one of the craziest pieces of Brion tech around. It's not too expensive--I would totally slide this card in, even if I was doing Giant Tribal. You can get blown out, but the payoff is enormous.

Another piece of Brion tech is Grafted Exoskeleton, if you wanna be dirty.

---

Since Brion isn't the center of the strategy, protecting him isn't at such a premium. Cards like Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves are still good for protecting your big giants though. It may be worth sliding some cards like that in, but since it's a casual deck you may get away with none.

That said, I have Whispersilk Cloak and Mask of Avacyn in my collection.

Another option on a budget is Mirror Shield. Darksteel Plate is pricey but fantastic when you want to stick a huge beater and keep it around.

I have a Cradle of Vitality on-hand. Might be really good!

---

If you have any more Threaten-effects, those are functionally creature removal with your commander out. Perhaps a couple of cards like that deserve a slot. Captivating Crew is fun because it's repeatable. Song-Mad Treachery  ^Flip is cool because it's a land too!

I own: Hijack - Grab the Reins - Mass Mutiny - Traitorous Blood - Traitorous Instinct - Portent of Betrayal - Word of Seizing - Harness by Force

There are many more.

---

Illusionist's Bracers is very good with Brion, even with less of a focus on him. Probably worth keeping in.

I think Minion Reflector won't be good--too expensive. Seance is decent but probably won't be reliable often enough to make it worth a slot.
