More resilient Grenzo, Dungeon Warden?

Commander Deck Help forum

Posted on May 5, 2017, 5:57 p.m. by Nintendows

I have my Grenzo deck here http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/grenzofour-20/

The main problem is that the deck usually can't recover if Grenzo is removed via anything that doesn't put him in the command zone. If he's Imprisoned in the Moon, I'm pretty much toast.

How can I solve this problem? More hexproof/shroud? Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots are potential options, but I'd really prefer some sort of creature-based protection.

Thanks!

The best I can come up with at the moment is a sac outlet like Skirk Prospector to sac him in response to the Imprisoned in the Moon (this way he goes to command zone).

That's a pretty good one, but I have a lot of sac outlets already. Anything that sacrifices any kind of permanent, other than Greater Gargadon (that's already in there)?

Magmaw sacs any nonland permanent but I couldn't find something that sacs any permanent. It also fits the four power rule

The boots are usually the best choice.
Against Imprisoned in the Moon you can also play cards that redirect like Shunt and Ricochet Trap to throw it somewhere else. Also, protection from blue will prevent the creature to be targeted (Sword of Fire and Ice, Sword of Body and Mind). Unstable Obelisk and Scour from Existence can remove it. Even Pyroblast if you're frequently playing against blue.
