Daretti Commander '14 PreCon

Commander / EDH

jurrjurr


This is the red preconstructed deck from the commander 2014 series.
I use Daretti, Scrap Savant as the commander. As he is a Planeswalker, there are some rules concerning planeswalkers and combat and the use of their abilities that you should read up on here.

The deck revolves around Daretti's abilities to a) put high mana cost artifacts into the graveyard, and then b) to return the artifacts to play by swapping them out with other cheap artifacts you played early on in the game.
Strong artifacts that you could cheat into play this way are:
-Bosh, Iron Golem
-Myr Battlesphere
-Pentavus
-Steel Hellkite
-Wurmcoil Engine
and non-creature artifacts, such as:
-Caged Sun
-Dreamstone Hedron
-Spine of Ish Sah

Notable cards and strategies
Some cards provide special bonuses for getting sacrificed or entering the battlefield. Solemn Simulacum, for example, lets you find and play an extra land when it enters the battlefield, and it then lets you draw a card when it dies. You are allowed to sacrifice Solemn Simulacrum to Daretti, Scrap Savant's -2 ability and then choose that same Solemn Simulacrum as the card you return from the graveyard. The extra lands and cards will help you get a lead on your opponents. Other cards that can also be fed to the the Daretti-Engine are: Ichor Wellspring, Mycosynth Wellspring and Spine of Ish Sah.

Feldon of the Third Path and Goblin Welder also return stuff from your graveyard so you can swing at your opponents with high cost dragons and artifacts.
