Throne of Eldraine Additions —Sept. 24, 2019

Some new additions that I think would elevate this deck better..

Removed: Utopia Tree & 1 basic land.

Added: Faeburrow Elder & Castle Locthwain

@Dragaan - haha! that's okay, try to make decks here and playtest them. EDH is a fun way to challenge your friends. I have considered Heartwood Storyteller before, but giving opponents ammo by having them draw is a disadvantage for a semi-aggro deck like this. Also I had Grizzled Leotau in this deck before, but i have replaced it with more tribal centric creatures like Ironroot Warlord . I might replace either Mastermind's Acquisition or Diabolic Tutor with Eladamri's Call , but my problem with revealing the searched card/s is that my opponents can prepare when i cast it, unlike the other 2 tutors i have.. I might playtest it first. Nameless Inversion is underwhelming for an instant targeted removal and Winds of Abandon is a desperation removal, plus its overload cost is worse than my mass removals. The only thing going for it is that it's an instant. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions!

I was about to say how Winds exiles as well... but I just noticed you had more exile/bottom sweepers than just terminus. I guess I tend to evaluate cards too much from a competitive modern/standard viewpoint, cause you're right - it does seem extremely lackluster when u have access to, and an easy time casting, any big removal in the game. I guess the target:2/all:6 option isn't much of a bonus in EDH when compared to other "actual" 6cmc sweepers.

I had another question for you, though. Have you ever tried playing Sapling of Colfenor as a commander for the treefolk deck? If so, which deck do you think is more fun?

@Dragaan - yeah, i got you.. mass removals typically goes through in an EDH game, especially when that's the only solution to a big threat to 2 or more players.. I haven't tried to use Sapling of Colfenor as a commander yet.. I'm guessing it will be a more agressive deck, focusing more on big creatures with 4 or more power and toughness which is higher or equal to the creature's power, while still using the treefolk tribal.. It loses a lot of possible white mass removals, but gains more space for targeted removals.. It could be centered on getting sapling of colfenor unblockable as well.. In my opinion, Doran has more options on the theme of the deck (lifegain, aggro, control, defense, mass removals) but Sapling of Colfenor has it's uses as a commander. Plus it has indestructible, which is hard to remove from your board..
