Commander / EDH

PyroReason


This is my first Commander deck. I've been convinced to get into the format and am excited to get to playing. I've been working on this deck for a while, doing some serious trades and using some meta decks as inspiration for how I should build. I'm pretty confidant in the decks performance and reliable draws through play testing and I'm sure it's competitive enough and wont just simply fall apart in play. Tips and advice are greatly appreciated from experienced players.

My goal here is to open up with intimidating creatures on turn one and two such as Voice of Resurgence or Serra Ascendant and have a ramp creature in hand like Elvish Mystic, Sylvan Caryatid or Lotus Cobra. My plan is to have enough board presence early game to play my biggest threats by turn 5 and 6. Having Hammer of Purphoros or Surrak, the Hunt Caller out is ideal for maximum performance of this deck.

Having Courser of Kruphix or Oracle of Mul Daya out by turn 3 or 4 helps speeds up the process of gaining land, and removing excess land from my hand. They're highly effective in combination with Sylvan Library.

If necessary I have enough activation cards to generate tokens, or creature lands to compensate for lack of mana or not having a proper card to play on a turn. Casting Marath, Will of the Wild is also consistently an effective play if no other options are available.

Orbs of Warding , Archetype of Endurance and Dragonlord Dromoka seem necessary to avoid removal, bouncing and negating on my turn. Effectively, if I have Voice of Resurgence out early, I could benefit from playing out lesser needed cards to check for any tricks.

If things are not going my way or I have the weaker end of the board against an aggressive deck Day of Judgment and Wrath of God are the removal I have added in, in combination with Ajani's Presence to avoid a complete wipe.

Shaman of Forgotten Ways is a win condition that I want to test in play to see how reliably I can pull of his formidable ability. The haste features of the deck should prove this card more effective than I anticipate. His generation of two creature specific mana is helpful regardless.
