SufferFromEDHD on Mono Green Poison and Proliferate

This is a solid list but from a play perspective I REALLY like what you accomplished in your creatureless Gruff list. That janky combo shines!

Mono Green Infect/Poison/Toxic take a look at my mana base for some potential utility upgrades. 27 Forests is a bit much and you are missing some major poison enablers.

Invigorate ends games.

Whip Silk nice with the Rotpriest.

Kinda off-topic but for actually triggering Aragorn, the Uniter, Whip Silk and friends seem under-used.

DadHumanPraetor on EDH: Sythis Combo Enchantress

I love sythis

Have you considered Whip Silk and Cloudstone Curio? much like Flickering Ward, they can draw the library with infinite mana, and they are also terrific value pieces even without a combo.

With your library in hand, or with infinite tokens, you could use Concordant Crossroads to just win on the spot without passing the turn.

Just some thoughts.

Nice deck!

DixietheGod on Chishiro's Enchanted Horde

Hi! I like the deck, good to see that other people are building Chishiro! I think you could use some cards that I found for mine Ch-eye-Shire-O, the Shattered Dilk. For instance Whip Silk, Crown of Flames, and Mark of Fury are strong and low cost.

Hello!

You aren't running any sac outlets outside of Elvish Reclaimer which only hits lands, so I'd advise cutting Pattern of Rebirth as it doesn't really do you any good just sitting on a creature. I'm not sure what your budget is, but I'd recommend running Survival of the Fittest instead. It's cheaper CMC-wise, but tutors to hand instead of the battlefield. You could also run Chord of Calling which tutors to the battlefield, but is an instant.

In addition, I have personally found Smothering Tithe to not really be worth it. The treasure tokens you get from it are shut off by Collector Ouphe and Stony Silence. You could replace it with something like Carpet of Flowers which can generate mana for you, albeit it's dependent on other decks at the table. At it's worst though it's a one mana enchantment, which with any of your enchantresses out can still draw you a card. You could also go with something like Flickering Ward or Whip Silk which are both one mana enchantments that can bounce themselves, allowing you to draw more cards from them for pretty cheap if you have enchantress effects out.

I've ran a Sythis, Harvest's Hand deck since she was spoiled, so if you have any other questions on cards feel free to hit me up. Albeit, I will say - I go a completely different route you're going with your deck. Instead of trying to draw my deck and ramp as quickly as I can, I try to slow the game down as much as possible and keep opponents from being able to play Magic. I've found great success with my list, so I'd recommend checking it out if you're interested. My deck can be found here: [EDH][Primer] Sythis Enchantress Prison. As I said, if you have any questions or need help with it, feel free to hit me up!

Hey, well done if you haven't done a Sultai deck before.

If you want a combo that can be a win condition with Keimi then consider adding Pemmin's Aura and Freed from the Real? Either enchanted to Sanctum Weaver is infinite mana of all colors. Use infinite blue mana with Shimmering Wings to infinite cast/bounce it which triggers Keimi to be the win condition. Infinite green mana works with Whip Silk or Broken Fall. Incubation Druid can be a backup to make infinite mana with Freed or Pemmin.

Temple of the False God is not a good land here or really in any Commander deck, it's bad, but not here because you only have Shigeki, Jukai Visionary as land ramp and it's slow/unreliable. You're depending on land drops to enable Temple meaning consistently it will not tap for mana until turn five or after making it unplayable.

Some changes to consider:

The Signet could be cut for the mana dork. Reflection is less needed as a source of opponent life loss if you add the combo since the combo is infinite opponent life lose. Ancestry could replace Temple for another budget Sultai land and you have some Humans to potentially get some scry from it.

Good luck with your deck.

Chishiro, the Shattered Blade is a new Commander from Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. If you decide to build him, Crown of Flames and Whip Silk will be great staples as they each cost 1 mana and can be returned for 1 mana. This is a cheap and fast way to build out an entire boardstate of 2/2 tokens who have menace.

If they also have haste, such as with Fervor or Fires of Yavimaya, you can also tap them for mana using something such as Cryptolith Rite. What this does is it will effectively double your mana production.

For example, suppose you have enough mana available to you for 3x castings of Crown of Flames and 2x returns, or a total of five mana. With haste and Cryptolith Rite, you can pay and that'll get you a 2/2 token. You can tap the token for to return the aura to your hand. From here, you still have 4x sources left. Each one will get you another 2/2, which can be immediately tapped to return the aura to your hand.

So rather than getting a total of two 2/2 tokens with five red mana, you get five 2/2 tokens. Now they all become tapped, but with any ETB damage effect, this can rapidly hurt everyone.

You can actually go infinite and win the game with this combo, too.

Now when the aura ETB, you get two 2/2 tokens. Tap one to return the aura, tap the second to cast it. It ETB, you get two more 2/2 tokens. Tap one to return, tap the other to cast. Two more 2/2 tokens.

Each time this happens, you stack damage.

It's a complex combo, but with so many redundant cards in Gruul, it'll easily be made.

So if you enjoy these sorts of combos, this one might just be for you.

You can also replace the haste and Cryptolith Rite with Mana Echoes and Chromatic Orrery.

Xenagos, the Reveler immediately comes to mind for far more mana, as does Nissa, Who Shakes the World. Her ability to make Forests add a second partners nicely with Whip Silk. Now each land pays for both the cost to cast and the cost to return. Merely having Nissa and Whip Silk equates to haste + Cryptolith Rite + token doubler.

Want to draw out your library? Boom, now you can.

Want to make sure pesky blue players can't stop you? Boom, now you can.

Want just one more way to deal damage to face? Boom, you got it.

Need some life? Boom, we got you.

Wanna swing for lethal? Boom, we got that too.

:) Gruul Enchantments just became a thing <3


Oh, and don't forget Storm ;D
