Goodstuffs resources?
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on March 29, 2017, 8:23 p.m. by thewyzman
I've decided to try Sultai Goodstuffs under Tasigur, the Golden Fang. What I'm looking for suggestions on:
1- Proven deck lists of "Goodstuffs" builds.
2- Resources or references that suggest or rank the best value cards in the colors.
3- Suggestions on how to build a deck in the theme, fitting with Tasigur.
I play in a completely multiplayer meta. I'm not really trying to build a deck with win-con combos, but rather one that just wins on balancing value, board presence, and tempo advantage. Please offer any help to a novice deckbuilder! My deck here Sultain Goodies.
like running Dictate of Erebos AND Dictate of Kruphix :)

I am not 100% sure if you are asking for this but here is my GW goodstuff selvala deck if you look closely you can see the main idea of a good stuff deck in general.
Good stuff is not just "play good cards" because no one is going to play bad cards. Good stuff decks are decks where all of the cards in it have a purpose and are useful in most situations not just fringe ones. For example, I am in GW so I cannot tutor for spells so a lot of my deck are utility creatures because I CAN tutor for them. Creatures that protect me and my board ( Avacyn, Angel of Hope , Dragonlord Dromoka, Hushwing Gryff , and Sigarda, Host of Herons ) creatures that blow things up ( Acidic Slime , terrastodon , Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and Duplicant ) you get the point.
Likewise here is my abzan value deck this deck is not at all tested but I think it has a similar idea that you want. Its just a fair deck that kills everything and then grinds out a fair win condition like a planeswalker or big creature.
Looking at what your deck has now lets look at things that are good value cards and just good cards. Sepulchral Primordial is a good value card its something that will give you multiple creatures for one. However something like Reaper of the Wilds is just a decent card that doesnt really do much but protect itself. Sheoldred, Whispering One is a good card that will grind out value but what does Coiling Oracle really do in your deck? Draw a card maybe? seems kind of lack luster
Here is my suggestion on what to cut : Baleful Strix Brainstorm (its not good unless you have quite a few fetchlands) Golgari Charm Abrupt Decay (replace it with Krosan Grip ) Lim-Dul's Vault Trading Post (I have never hated a card so much in my life) Bloodchief Ascension Archaeomancer (your commander basically does this idk just doesnt seem worth it) and Coiling Oracle
I cannot suggest too many cards because these are not my colors of expertise but hopefully this helped a little.

This is a fantastic resource for cards that are just good. There's also a list of similar lists in the description. Hope it helps. :)

EmblemMan Thanks so much for the suggs, I'm going to address them on my page, so stay tuned.
Tyrant-Thanatos Thanks, though my budget and card access is all over the place, it's a good place to cross-ref what I do have.

I think you will get the best value out of playing things like Reanimate, or play politics. politics is fun, its messing with the mental side of magic players. like have enchantment removal, but get the player you are targeting to do something for you so that you won't destroy whatever they have.
