Partners for Life!

I went with the Vial Smasher the Fierce & Thrasios, Triton Hero combination. Reason for this is beacuse i´ve got a Lord Windgrace deck i´ve been wanting to convert into either a Golos, Tireless Pilgrim deck or one of the other partner combinations and this throws Blue into the mix. I´ve got a bunch of blue cards in my binder im not using even, cards like Force of Negation and Cryptic Command.

Vial Smasher the Fierce likes Big Spells, X Spells or spells where you dont pay full cost, like exiling a blue card instead of paying the CMC of Force of Will or Misdirection.

Cards with the "Undaunted" effect which reduces the cost of the card by how many opponents you have is very good in this deck. So for example Curtains' Call which normally is 6 CMC without any opponents, but depending on how you play it could be a 3 CMC spell beacuse of the Undaunted mechanic, but it still counts as a 6 CMC spell on the stack giving Vial Smasher the Fierce 6 damage to throw in your opponents face. Delve is also really good with Vial Smasher, it helps you PAY cost of the spell but doesnt change its CMC so a Dig Through Time delved to 2 Blue is still a 8 CMC card on the stack. Vial Smasher only works for the first spell cast each turn so to abuse that just take extra turns or cast spells on your opponents turns.

Thrasios, Triton Hero has very strong effects, being able to put the lands into play works well with Landfall cards such as Tatyova, Benthic Druid or Rampaging Baloths. Even if it isnt a land you could still draw into Ramp or something relevant for Vial Smasher the Fierce. His effect is very easy to abuse but im personally not a fan of using strategies like that, get infinite mana and draw your enitre deck while putting out all the lands in your deck on the battlefield.

Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle & Field of the Dead are two high value lands. Scapeshift with Dryad of the Ilysian Grove or Prismatic Omen out can oneshot someone out of the game depending on how many lands you´ve got out when you cast it with/getting Valakut. You´ll also get out a huge army of Zombies with it and if you can do it on your opponents End Step its even better. The one thing I am abit worried about is the amount of Mountains in the deck to make Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle work without the combo pieces, making the card equal to playing a Forgotten Cave but without the added value to be able to cycle it instead.

The deck also got a token package with cards such as Avenger of Zendikar, Rampaging Baloths and Omnath, Locus of Rage. Just your standard token makers in a "Lands Matter" deck. It does help that they´re alrdy over 5 CMC to cast for Vial Smasher the Fierce and that they synergize with Thrasios, Triton Hero putting lands into play and ramping early. Decided against running cards such as Parallel Lives and focus more on the actual commanders instead.

Before you say anything, yes. Im running alot of Basic Lands. I´ve had my Lord Windgrace deck for awhile and i´ve come to appreciate basic lands even more. Some lands like the Zendikar lands ( Cinder Glade for example) is very good since they´re fetchable, but im still drawn more towards basic lands and having more utility lands like Boseiju, Who Shelters All, Cabal Coffers, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Dark Depths + Thespian's Stage.

Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder is more of a fun card in the deck, Cascade in a commander game is really fun and since im running, or trying to atleast, alot of high CMC cards the Cascade gets more targets to hit. Considering cutting it for a mana doubler like Zendikar Resurgent or Crypt Ghast, the Ghast beacuse i´ve got 3 cards that make all my lands swamps in addition to their other types.

This deck is still in construction so I´d like some more suggestions on what to add. Check the Maybeboard to see if im alrdy considering some cards. Sry about my english ^^ <3
