Could use some advice with my Vorosh deck

Commander Deck Help forum

So I've been making a Vorosh Voltron deck, and I could use some suggestions for it!

Any help appreciated! :D

Two things:

  • First, if you've got a decklist already on the site, you should link to it! To do that, you take the "slug" (the bit in the URL after "mtg-decks/") and put it between double brackets. So, for instance, [ [ 30-06-15-vorosh-voltron-help-appreciated ] ], without spaces, becomes Vorosh Voltron (Help Appreciated!) .
  • Second, since you've got a decklist on the site already, there's a separate forum titled Commander (EDH) Deck Help, which is the proper place to put decklists in need of help. No need to double post, though! I'll summon ChiefBell and Epochalyptik and one of them should move this to the proper forum soon enough.

Bwah, thanks for that.

I posted this when I first woke up so I was a bit foggy-headed xD

Off the top of my head you could:

  • Ramp even harder. Vorosh, the Hunter is really mana intensive. You've got some green ramp spells there, but I'd look into creature and artifact options as well. Sultai Banner and Mind Stone are easy suggestions.

  • Focus on protection and delivery. Vorosh, the Hunter is big, and grows even bigger, so stuff doesn't need to pump him as such, rather than protect him from removal. He also flies, so additional evasion may be redundant. Whispersilk Cloak and Lightning Greaves should be maindecked definitely, and you could even consider Neurok Stealthsuit and Specter's Shroud.

  • If voltron is your main strategy, what's the supporting strategy? I see discarding and graveyard recursion in there: my advice would be to pick one. Control (through removal and counterspells), stealing and copying stuff, graveyard shenanigans and I suppose discard are all valid options with these colours. Pick one and roll with it rather than dipping into all pools.

  • You have lots of single use targeted removal. I'd cut that, and add mass removal and ETB creatures instead.

  • You're playing blue, so focusing on better card draw seems like a direct improvement. Mulldrifter FTW.

  • I see no tutors on the list, despite you being in the best colours for them. Check out Brainspoil and other cards with the Transmute keyword, there's bound to be something useful there, even if you don't like straight up tutors. I think every deck should play at least a Diabolic Tutor if possible.

  • In light of the recent sets spawning ten tons of dragons into the cardpool, why not add some of them to the mix? Deathbringer Regent, Dragonlord Silumgar and Silumgar, the Drifting Death could be fun here.
