Blood Calls to Blood {6}{B}{U}{R}

Instant

Blood Calls to Blood costs {1} less to cast for each opponent dealt damage this turn.

Untap all creatures you control and after this phase, there is an additional combat phase.

Until end of turn whenever an attacking creature you control dies, each opponent sacrifices a creature.

Until end of turn when a creature you don't control dies, draw a card.

Rewards you for going wide in Grixis but tried to make something new.

Tolsimir Wolfblood is going to be in the new murder mystery / Clue themed set on Ravinca. Create a card of them that reflects a murder mystery setting. Also Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves for inspo.

Trostani, Selesnya's Voice , Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves and Emmara, Soul of the Accord might be fun.

Ok I'm pitching Ramosian Sergeant again - you have 11 changelings this can fetch (& 12 with the Guardian Gladewalker ), so for a reasonable portion of the game this will be a cheaper Birthing Boughs that gets some additional utility with fetching actually good changelings like Masked Vandal or Unsettled Mariner .

And IMO Necrotic Sliver / General Kudro of Drannith / Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves are the worst lords atm, since they're gonna get some of your changelings killed, which is at odds with all the "get as many changelings in play as possible" cards. Your recursion is not amazing either.

I know what you mean... I also just built a Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves deck just 'cause i think it will get a cool upgrade with next Innistrad's set. And yeah, I researched about Garruk Relentless  ^Flip before and was pretty upset when I found I couldn't use him... But when I saw your deck, I was hoping I had a bad source about the rules

libraryjoy on Looking for a fun budget …

I build a lot of budget decks. My playgroup plays mostly 60-card casual multiplayer. I'm looking for ideas of interesting build-around cards, especially from sets in the last couple of years (I started 7-8 years ago, and have not paid as close attention to recent sets). Some cards I have used in the past are Angelic Accord, Sephara, Sky's Blade, Armament Master, Hoofprints of the Stag, Blackblade Reforged, Nova Chaser, Faerie Swarm, Enduring Scalelord, Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves, Swans of Bryn Argoll, and Rimefeather Owl among others (especially elf decks). Today I started to build Crested Sunmare, only to find out they're $7 each! I had a similar problem when I started building around Behemoth's Herald and Godsire and then realized how much the price had jumped. I'm looking for cards that average less than $1 and provide an interesting building space. I do not play black but am open to any other color or combination of colors. I lean most heavily to Selesnya generally but also enjoy exploring other spaces. Deck lists are welcome, but mainly looking for card suggestions.

I just wanted to say that just because a Commander has not been literally just released, does not mean it has been "solved".

What I mean is, there are some older Commanders (both in and outside of these colors) which can be fun, competitive, adaptable, AND fairly unexplored.

The best example in my mind is Dragonlord Dromoka.

He can be built simply as a beatdown strategy and work fairly well, but, you can instead try building him as a heavy-handed infinite combo deck as well.

Effectively having Grand Abolisher as your Commander allows you to do your infinite comboing without any pesky interruption and win every single time you have the mana and cards.

And to boot, I've never actually seen anyone do it before. (I wanted to, but never did.)

And even if a Commander has been built by many people, many times, they may not have done it in all of the possible ways (styles of play).

Many people have made a Wolf-Tribal deck for Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves, but I haven't seen many people make a heavy blink/flicker deck for him, abusing the life gain with cards like Well of Lost Dreams and saccing the extra tokens with Phyrexian Altar.

Point is, I don't think the Commander has to have just come out to be unexplored/have unexplored avenues.

(A personal favorite of mine is Yasharn, Implacable Earth blink/lands matter.)

Natalbee, Our Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves deck lists are very different!
I really enjoy the Shielded by Faith tricks.
Here's the link to my Wolfslinger deck.

Manapool, The card Garruk Relentless  ^Flip is / in identity and not legal for Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves.
Check out Tolsimir, Wolf-Slinger!
