This deck started out as the preconstructed (retail) commander deck: Merciless Rage. The Commander Anje Falkenrath made me curious about fun ways I could make use of her "Discard" ability.

STARTING ADJUSTMENTS - All my decks

For every new Commander deck I develop, I start by evaluating if the deck might play better by inserting the following cards:

What additions would you make to this list?

• Arcane Signet
• Command Tower
• Commander's Sphere
• Empowered Autogenerator
• God-Pharaoh's Statue
• Guildmages' Forum
• Manalith
• Path of Ancestry
• Sol Ring

• Vessel of Endless Rest

• Something/anything for drawing additional cards (from library or graveyard)

• Something/anything with the "landfall" mechanic
• Something/anything for making creatures unblockable

STARTING ADJUSTMENTS - My Black Decks

For every new BLACK deck I develop, I consider if the deck might play better by inserting these cards:

What additions would you make to this list?

• Demonic Tutor

STARTING ADJUSTMENTS - My Red Decks

For every new RED deck I develop, I consider if the deck might play better by inserting these cards:

What additions would you make to this list?

• Lightning Bolt
• Shatterstorm
