Why not Zoidberg?

I was thinking on the Commander some more, and personally, because he can deal Commander damage to everyone I would consider playing a bunch of free creatures on top of the life gain stuff you are already playing. Free creatures equal free sacs. You can ignore me. It was just a thought. **Zero Cost Creatures **

Wall-o-the-Bigs!

I have always wanted to build a Wall deck. If I do, my Commander is going 100% going to be Pramikon, Sky Rampart… No question about it.
No Fog Bank?
Wall of Water - kill attacking creatures?
Wall of Brambles – I love Regenerate, personally.
Living Wall – Because of Regenerate and because it is so old.
Shield Sphere – Free is always fun.
Suspicious Bookcase – I love this guy because you can activate it when your opponents are attacking each other.
Crashing Drawbridge – Haste is always pretty good.

Mono-Black 0 Mana Cost

SufferFromEDHD I appreciate it, man. Scale of Chiss-Goria is useful to protect Barricade Breaker from cards like Dismember. Lotus Petal and Mox Opal can't help cast my creatures with Improvise through their abilities. If I wanted to add both of them, I should probably swap Ornithopter, Phyrexian Walker, Scale of Chiss-Goria and/or Shield Sphere for Bone Saw, Paradise Mantle, Signal Pest and/or Springleaf Drum.

Defending budget commander deck
2 years ago
Hey, good changes so far. Looking nice with a really low avg. CMC.
Some budget defender upgrades to consider.
- Orator of Ojutai --> Hover Barrier
- Sunscape Familiar --> Gatecreeper Vine
- Wall of Roots --> Cathedral Membrane
- Shield-Wall Sentinel --> Geist of the Archives
- Wall of Stolen Identity --> Marble Titan
- Wall of Junk --> Fog Bank
- Walking Bulwark --> Consider
- Crashing Drawbridge --> Suspicious Bookcase
Orator of Ojutai is another two drop defender who can draw ETB if you control Arcades and it has flying. Sunscape Familiar and Wall of Roots are more defenders who ramp. Shield-Wall Sentinel is a defender tutor. Wall of Stolen Identity is good in multiplayer Commander and it ETB as the creature you choose with defender. Identity and Shield-Wall are some higher mana cost defenders, but their ETB abilities are worth it.
Wall of Junk has been errata to have defender, it can return itself to your hand if it blocks making it bonus good with vigilance. Walking Bulwark and Crashing Drawbridge are low mana cost defenders who can give other creatures you control haste.
- Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive --> Aegis of the Heavens
Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive makes your defenders unblockable. What makes Tower Defense good here is it gives all creatures you control the instant pump for two mana. Aegis of the Heavens only targets one creature for three mana.
Because Arcades triggers to draw when a defender ETB then blink can be a powerful effect. Blink can also enable an infinite turns combo where attacking Arcades and/or defenders are the wincon.
- Eerie Interlude --> Voidslime
- Soulherder --> Serra's Blessing
Eerie Interlude can protect all your creatures from a board wipe since your creatures return to the battlefield at the next end step. If Arcades is exiled along with defenders then when the creatures come back you draw. To price match for a possible cut, Eerie could replace Voidslime? Cutting Voidslime will also clear some budget to add some of the more price defenders I suggested above.
At your end step Soulherder can be repeatable blink of any creature you control. With Arcades blinking a defender is draw, if the blinked defender has an ETB ability it triggers again and gives the defender pseudo vigilance since it will ETB untapped. Blink can also reset Shield Sphere and Wall of Roots.
If your game plan is to attack with defenders thanks to Arcades then how about extra attacks from extra turns? Adding this combo and Eerie Interlude are some reasons to keep Mnemonic Wall.
Cast Aeons and at your end step Soulherder blinks Mnemonic returning Aeons to your hand. On your extra turn cast Aeons and repeat. If you control Arcades then you also draw at your end step, but you only get extra turns equal to the number of cards in your library.

U Artifact Affinity
2 years ago
This is indeed a very funny affinity deck. I can help here, friend. (:
-
Mystic Forge is going to give you pretty much as much freedom with playing stuff as you want. Unless you hit a land, that is. Taking out Gingerbrute and Aether Spellbomb for two of these is probably all you'll need.
-
Shield Sphere is a blocker for free. I'd replace either Memnite or Ornithopter with four of these.
-
Power Depot is too good to pass up. Swap out Spire of Industry, Razortide Bridge, and one Mistvault Bridge.
-
Treasure Vault is very snazzy and should probably replace the rest of the Mistvault Bridges.
-
Chromescale Drake gets you some extra artifacts. I'd swap him out for Sojourner's Companion.
-
Tormod's Crypt should replace Nihil Spellbomb, Pithing Needle, and Relic of Progenitus.
-
Qumulox, Broodstar, Somber Hoverguard, and Myr Enforcer are all just more affinity creatures.
-
Mycosynth Golem is going to make everything absurdly cheap.
I also think that you should replace Welding Jar, Shadowspear, and Gingerbrute either wil three copies of Welding Jar or three copies of Shadowspear, putting three copies of the other into your sideboard.

Alarm Ping - Premodern

Cloud works great, but some of the other 0 drops are really good - Shield Sphere in particular is an incredible wall, which really helps against creature aggro. Its also a little easier to chain a turn with intruder/enchant/0 drop (4 lands) than cloud.
