Help on Replacing a Card

Commander Deck Help forum

Deck for reference: Cojutron.

I've added more boardwipes, totaling ~7. Unfortunately, this means that Monastery Mentor becomes the weakest link, and I aim to take him out, but I'm stuck for options.

  1. Bastion Protector: As the deck is part voltron, the indestructibility comes in handy, including when I opt to add the sideboard cards in and switch the general.

  2. Recruiter of the Guard: I have 7 targets. Abolisher will be the weakest card in the toolbox, but the rest seem really good for the job, including Sad Robot.

  3. Thalia, Heretic Cathar: I already have Obedience, so what's stopping me from having a second effect? I'm wary of having too many of these kinds of effects, especially when I can tutor for them.

Any advice here? I will need it for tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

I would say do Recruiter of the Guard. its the best all around option, and you can always add more targets.

Recruiter is definitely the best.

Alright. Recruiter's in, since that's everyone's choice.

Even though Recruiter of the Guard IS the best of these options, I'd still try to find space for Bastion Protector. The card is really good, doubly so when you're playing many board wipes, triply so when your commander is hexproof.

Honestly, I don't think Monastery Mentor is the problem. I think the issue is that you have too many board wipes.

I get that you're a control deck, but you're not running a huge ramp suite.

Maybe looking at more tutors to get Cyclonic Rift would actually be the better way to go over as many wraths as you can fit in?

Daedalus19876: That was the card I secretly wanted in.

enpc: I've decided to cut two wrath effects, but I'm not replacing these with tutors. Nor is Monastery Mentor coming back. Bastion Protector would return before it, but I'm removing something else for it.
