I love you hat you’ve done with this!

Tireless Tribe comes to mind as a nice threat :) especially if you pair it with madness or flashback effects.

Cheers!

Since you're playing Tireless Tribe , a couple copies of Whiteout plus snow basics seems like a shoe-in. Whiteout can let you just win the game out of nowhere, including on turn 2. Plus, it has some random utility in letting you block fliers with your ground guys in a pinch.

Honestly, I'm personally not a big fan of the oxen. Vanilla creatures with no additional upside get eaten alive in Pauper. Sure, they've got really big butts and will hit hard if all is going well, but if all is not going well, they're effectively doing nothing. Whereas, Trailblazer always has the threat to grow upon being targeted, and Tribe threatens to just win the game out of nowhere. I think those oxen slots would be much better served as something with added utility, even if they have smaller bodies. Heliod's Pilgrim comes to mind right off the bat. Plus, it'd allow you to have a small package of things to find in a pinch, such as a maindeck copy of Temporal Isolation , Cho-Manno's Blessing , or like a Mortal Obstinacy from the sideboard. Beyond that, Village Bell-Ringer seems like a decent option too, since it both can be flashed in unexpectedly and can allow your other creatures to block.

But that's all just my opinion. Carry on, my big butt friend.

I was curious as to why Sol Ring and Cyclonic Rift weren't included? I'm guessing there wasn't any extra laying around most likely?

Other things I'm surprised not to see in here: Teferi's Puzzle Box, Mindmoil, Arjun, the Shifting Flame. These don't necessarily combo with the Brallin side of the deck, but it DOES work with Shabraz. Not only that, this can help us get into other cards and keep fueling our draw and discard. I also personally don't like running Planeswalkers, but Dack Fayden can be pretty good. Faithless Looting on a body and then also stealing an artifact seems pretty good. Other cards I was surprised to not see were Thrill of Possibility, Cathartic Reunion, Frantic Search, Careful Study, Tormenting Voice, Rhystic Study, Jeskai Ascendancy, Whirlwind of Thought.

I'm curious as to why Shark Typhoon is in the deck though. A 6 Mana make an X/X Shark doesn't seem overly impressive when we only have small cantrip like spells. I also personally don't like Runehorn Hellkite, cause its either a 6 mana 5/5 with flying, or something we need to discard to then pay mana to wheel. I feel like the deck has a nice top end, but it lacks a lot of early game. We are basically hoping to get one of our commanders out ASAP, but it seems like we are hoping to hit a lot of ramp early on to then get someone out and THEN do our draw/discard thing.

Other fun things or cards not mentioned is Sigil of Sleep. Putting this on one of the pingers (Brallin, Glint-Horn Buccaneer, one of the Niv's) lets us begin to bounce creatures to players hands whenever we deal damage. So we start discarding cards, we can start returning problem threats to the player's hands. Tireless Tribe is an instant speed, repeatable discard outlet. Sure it doesn't do anything other than that, but it could be the difference between killing a person or not. Basilisk Collar/Loxodon Warhammer/Shadowspear are alternative ways to use Brallin like ping effects for things other than Infect (if play groups don't like it for example). This also fits into the "voltron" style of the deck, allowing intense lifegain. Early game cards we can add are Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  ^Flip/Magus of the Bazaar. These lets us repeatedly draw and discard, and Jace can flip to allow us to flash back cards. Wild Research is a cool way to help tutor up our wincons from our enchantments or if we need a counterspell or something while synergizing with Brallin pinger effects. We could also include some of the hatebear like cards from white to help slow down our opponents in the early game if it comes down to it.

All in all, I like the deck idea. I LIKE flexible decks that can switch gears when it needs to, and isn't solely linear ("I tutor this card and win). You can play casually and just try to voltron Shabraz, or enable combo kills with Brallin. Other than a handful of cards, I am REALLY interested in possibly building this deck!

@Komamura I like your style. Thank you for the insight!

Benthic Biomancer is kinda silly. My friend told me about it since he too was looking to build Shabraz and Brallin, Skyshark Rider  ^Flip. Usually involving Glint-Horn Buccaneer, you give it lifelink with Heliod, Sun-Crowned, discard to deal 1 damage, gain 1 life, put the +1/+1 counter on the Biomancer, draw and discard, deal 1 damage, gain 1 life, draw/discard, repeat until gg

Tireless Tribe is also odd. I added it because PlaytoWin on YouTube said so, but I now realize the tribe + Brallin + Curiosity is gg

Kozilek & Ulamog are mostly meant to be discarded to reshuffle haha but maybe I'll ramp to hard cast ?

Key to the City will likely come out of the deck. Undecided atm.

Cavalier of Flame, Dream Trawler and Heliod, Sun-Crowned were all booster pack pulls. I'm stoked to have them.

Whirlwind of Thought is a whirlwind slam dunk, just gotta wait until the new set arrives. I'll have to print out Brallin&Shabraz proxies if I want to use the deck currently

Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur is super cruel lmao I'll think about it

@Thornspire my pleasure, and I very much appreciate the kind words!

I have a few friends that bring the heat, so I need to keep em on their toes with spot removal, boardwipes, and I should probably run more counterspells in my blue decks. They are a necessary evil

Cephalid Coliseum WOW I'm going online and ordering it right now

The Ozolith is interesting. Once I get some games in, if I feel like my commanders are being removed constantly I'll probably invest in one

Very torn on Sigil of Sleep. Been seeing it in a lot of lists and I know I have a playset somewhere. Two friends with graveyard theme decks run a lot of ETB creatures I'm scared of (Plaguecrafter etc), but it can be a continued control piece for one mana on Brallin

Land Tax is a great idea! It makes Tectonic Reformation 100x better. I'll pick one up if I find a good deal. I like where your head is at

Thanks again y'all! You both have fun builds and it's neat to see differences & similarities in the three.

I can't want to actually play the deck!

Hey, thanks for the nice comment on my list! I took a look at yours and I have to say it probably wins more games than mine, simply because you play a lot more interaction (which is good) and you have access to the zero mana ramp.

Some cards I would definitely consider:

Cephalid Coliseum: An amazing land in the later stages of the game with negligable cost of life loss. Three triggers from both commanders and with Narset you can make someone else discard three cards.

The Ozolith: Low opportunity cost and saves all the counters from both commanders (even if bounced or exiled). Also cute with Benthic Biomancer.

Sigil of Sleep: one mana to enchant Brallin and every time you discard a card you can bounce a creature from each opponent. Seems like a good deal to me.

Land Tax: Since you're not playing green, this will give you a lot of cards to discard and lets you keep the goodies.

There are not clear cuts to me, but I agree with some of the points from the earlier comment on Key to the City and Tireless Tribe.

Have a nice day :)

Cards I am unsure about:

Benthic Biomancer is interesting but unless im missing something it doesnt combo off. Having a draw engine is nice but a 3 card combo that doesnt win the game seems underwelming. (again, I may just be missing something there)

Psychosis Crawler is a good card but very expensive. Its also a card that generally draws in attention. People know what you are trying to do at that point and really work to kill you.

Tireless Tribe in theory is a great blocker or means to discard your hand. In reality I would say its a pretty situational card. Or a win more card.

Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre is one of the best creatures in EDH but is stupid expensive. You have a ton of artifact ramp so its probably worth it. Shuffling your graveyard into your library is great but you already have Kozilek, Butcher of Truth.

Key to the City is interesting. brallin gives shabraz trample so unblockable isnt as important. Definitely a niche card but could work.

Cards I like:

Cavalier of Flame Love the concept of the card but dont own one to test it.

Dream Trawler is a great one. Need to consider adding this to my deck.

Heliod, Sun-Crowned is a card i had in my deck to begin with but seemed like a cool extra. im already gaining life and increasing the size of my creatures.

Mana Crypt is just lovely. Need one myself.

Suggestions:

Whirlwind of Thought would fit into your deck nicely. You have way more artifacts and smaller spells to cast.

Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur would be a good card to replace the big boi ulamog. (if you wanted to take it out)

Maybe some simple free discard outlets to let you churn through your deck rather easily. when you put Curiosity on Brallin, Skyshark Rider, damage the whole table enough times for a win but if not draw your whole deck. Cards like Aquamoeba, Dream Trawler, Land's Edge, Mind Over Matter, Patrol Hound, Prognostic Sphinx, Resilient Wanderer, Thalakos Drifters, Tireless Tribe, Trained Pronghorn, and Patchwork Gnomes all work. Your choice
