Commander Deck Help forum

I will get the EDH cat pre-con and i was wondering if there was any cats i should be getting right now before the pre-con is released

Not knowing what is getting reprints I would at least get a Regal Caracal for the tribal support, that doesn't feel like something they would reprint.

I think I have said it on multiple occasions but the most important cats for this commander will be Lost Leonin, Adorned Pouncer and Skyhunter Skirmisher. They don't cost anything but enable the fastest kills with the free boost from the command zone.

I would invest in a Berserk as well, and don't forget Worldly Tutor, Eladamri's Call and maybe Sylvan Tutor.

I'm skeptical that cards from Amonkhet block will make it into the deck. So I would pick up Regal Caracal, Prowling Serpopard, Adorned Pouncer, and Pride Sovereign. Perhaps some of the various Ajani walkers too (for flavor)?

Mirror Entity could also be interesting there because it makes all creatures into cats if you want to and it counts as a cat itself. Basically all of the good changeling creatures...but there aren't many.

Oloro_Magic Winterblast Thanks although I'm not sure about the Berserk

Wizno already have all the ajani :P

I'm scared to ask but my friend was wondering the same thing but for the wizards pre-con Is there anything you could suggest to him ? Other than snapcaster mage

First suggestion is switch the commander to Kess in the wizards pre-con and go from there after deciding how you want to play it.

Definitely a Docent of Perfection  Flip, Riptide Laboratory, and perhaps some combo enablers like Intruder Alarm or Paradox Engine. Ajani was more of a flavor thing than a practicality. I would want a cat planeswalker in my variant of the deck but I know not all of his variations are necessarily synergistic.

The Cats Precon looks like it REALLY wants to go Voltron. The five Swords would be good, but then again, they probably won't change in price much.

Actually, to be honest, the best cards in the Cat deck don't look like they will much care about Tribal synergy. Look more at who you want the Commander to be, then build a deck for them, because Cat Tribal looks the weakest so far.

Problem with that is that my Lgs only have copies of the inventions and selling them over 60$ each so no thanks

And there's plenty on cats power up and you can still go voltron and cat tribal at the same time also there's plenty of cards that isn't spoiled yet (i know you said it's weak so far) but you're right if it isn't getting more power when it's release voltron will be something i might do.
