A Doran toughness build. Your help is appreciated!

Commander Deck Help forum

Hi,

I am in the process of building a Doran, the Siege Tower deck. I am pretty unfamiliar with supporting cards for this deck. Since my meta checks my decks on here, I kept it on private until I have played it for the first time.

If you would like to help me shape this deck, then leave a message, so I will add you to the list to gain access. I have no intention of making it cEDH, but it has to smash good and play abit like a vanilla deck, with great support spells. The deck has a first setup of 100 cards, so we can shape from there on...

If you don't already know if it, EDHrec is a great website to see what cards go well with your commander.

With Doran, you want any card that makes toughness something good, I have used cards, in the past, like Spidersilk Armor, Slagwurm Armor, and any other artifacts that can voltron into a huge toughness creature. Give him double strike with Fireshrieker or something similar, and you can easily one-shot an opponent with just one or two well-thought moves. Don't hesitate to use the Brass Squire as well, because adding an equipment to an attack last moment can be a huge advantage. Also, Sigarda's Aid is a must for that kind of build.

These are just my thoughts, and one way to build that kind of deck.

I have various Doran decks I've put together (all online, but I know my way around Doran).

Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper and Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa are two really good commanders that recently came out to be in the 99, they grant bonus effects while having high toughness.

Gives evasion for big butts:

Behind the Scenes

Meekstone

Crackdown

Ideally, low CMC and high toughness critters reign with Doran. Vigilance is also amazing. Try to avoid plain vanilla creatures as tempting as they may be. Exceptions being Indomitable Ancients and Kami of Old Stone.
