Added - Lightning Greaves, Aetherflux Reservoir and Spark Trooper

Removed - Prophetic Prism, Dragon Throne of Tarkir and Dragon Mantle

Zealous Conscripts can steal anything for a turn, but if it's a particularly large creature, fling it at their face with Brion for maximum lolz.

Malignus instantly cuts an opponent's life total in half, or finishes off weaker players.

Mimic Vat generates the same big creature every turn for Brion fodder. The fact that it can improve what it's creating tokens of is incredibly powerful.

Adarkar Valkyrie and Gift of Immortality rescue creatures sacrificed to Brion for more fling action.

Grab the Reins is either an instant speed Act of Treason, Fling, or both in one card. The utility is what makes it powerful.

Molten Primordial and Conquering Manticore are two more cards that steal opponent's creatures for flinging.

Feldon of the Third Path generates tokens of giant dead creatures in your graveyard already sacrificed to Brion.

Archon of Justice is quite the removal in conjunction with instant-speed sacrifice.

Haha! First time I've seen a Commander like this. Awesome! Anyways, i was just going to recommend a few cards and take my leave. Grafted Exoskeleton, to put on your commander for an extremely quick game. Insurrection, a bit pricey of a card, but you get to take everyone's guys. Great wincon. And maybe Dragonmaster Outcast to give you a sac-able guy in every turn by the time your commander comes out. Just random thoughts to mull over.

Thanks ay.lobo!

Brion is a ton of fun and you can make a really good deck pretty cheaply. With the use of Thornbite Staff the exoskeleton could make short work of everyone. I've definitely been thinking about Insurrection mostly because with enough mana and again Thornbite Staff it would be absolutely hilarious!

Thank you so much for the recommendation of Dragonmaster Outcast!!! I've been looking for a way to bring down my avg cmc and he is perfect!

Since you are gaining so much life, why don't you try Aetherflux Reservoir? It could be very crazy. Also, Karmic Guide helps on getting your creatures back to fling them again. And you may try Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, Furnace of Rath and Dictate of the Twin Gods to double the damage. It would win you the game when you fling a Malignus or Serra Avatar.

Addrum Thanks for the input!

I've thought about damage doublers just haven't had a chance to play test them yet, same goes for Karmic Guide.

Aetherflux Reservoir is an interesting idea! I have a couple but didn't even think about adding one! I'll play test it a bit and see how it goes.

A fun interaction with Aetherflux Reservoir is Children of Korlis.

Also any reason you aren't runnning Lightning Greaves or Swiftfoot Boots to protect and activate Brion Stoutarm when he comes out?

Also forgot to mention steal cards like Act of Aggression and Act of Treason to hit someone with their own creature functions as a removal spell.

+1 deck looks like loads of fun!

Thanks WillySmasher!!

The deck is a ton of fun! I've really enjoyed it so far.

Children of Korlis looks like it has the potential to be a great little combo!

I had more steal cards in the deck at first but noticed I was sitting on them more than I used them. I kept Unwilling Recruit because I love the added insult of making my opponents creatures bigger before Brion throws them at their face.

Like the description says this is my first Commander deck and I still don't have a lot of the staples. Both the boots and greaves, as well as others like so ring, I'm on the lookout for. I like trading for the cards I want rather than just flat out buying them but they will be added eventually!

Thanks for the +1!!!

Fun looking deck, Test of Endurance is another win condition to go with your Felidar Sovereign. If you think it's worth the price.

Thanks for the +1 BPWyndon!!!

That's a great recommendation! I'll for sure test it out! Currently I'm looking for more creatures to make the most out of Brian's fling ability.

I LOVE this concept. I am so totally stealing this.

Cards to think about: Warstorm Surge and Stalking Vengeance hit them coming and going.

Thanks for the concept!!

Thanks Treehugger003!!!It's a ton of fun and really my favorite commander I've had a chance to play with.

I've play tested Warstorm Surge and it works well! I throw it in depending on what kind of decks I'm up against.

I've wanted to try out Stalking Vengeance since I've seen it but haven't had the chance.

Looks like great minds think alike. If you ended up building a Brion deck let me know what yours ends up like.

I will post it on tapped out but it will be a while. I'm running a Daxos of Meletis Deck atm. I'm going to keep running this till I win one.

Sun Titan looks perfect for this deck. Recurring War Elemental or pretty much anything is amazing.

Also, why is Sol Ring not in the deck?

Thanks TheGeneralAdvisor!

Sun Titan could work amazingly. The only reason he isn't already in here, other than the fact that I don't have one, is I don't do a ton of attacking. But I guess returning 2 creatures to the battlefield for 6 mana is worth a play test.

As far as commander staples like Sol Ring and Lightning Greaves not being in the deck yet is just because I don't have them... yet. I like to trade for the cards I want rather than just flat out by them, but it will be in once I get it!

April 13, 2017 7:54 p.m.

Sol Ring is pretty cheap atm, and also don't forget Sun Titan gets ANY permanent 3 or less, so any equipment, enchantments, and lands are also good to grab. I think both are under $10 so snag em up!

I'm a little biased because Sun Titan is my favorite creature, but he's so efficient and amazing!

Haha I'm the same way with Avatar of Woe, she is what got me into magic!

I totally glanced over the word permanent. Dang! That's is for sure going to be added. I just kinda feel like I'm cheating when I buy singles... but I always break down and do it if I can't find anyone to trade so don't worry it'll get in there soon.
