Thank you for your detailed explanation, that makes a lot of sense. That's such a great synergy! At the risk of further exposing my ignorance, how does Victory Chimes commit a crime to work with your commander?

Targeting opponents, anything they control and/or cards in their graveyards, is a crime

Perhaps I'm missing it (like the Hex Parasite), where is the word "target" on victory chimes? I'm looking at the oracle text and I don't see the word target, it just says "a player of your choice."

"Use Urza's Saga to tutor for Hex Parasite firstly, as it allows you to pay 2 life to activate Gisa on every turn" - Can you explain how specifically that works? Santiago1011

I got some ideas, what kind of suggestions are you looking for? Budget per card?

Will try to provide feedback later.

Do you feel you have enough ramp? Your commander costs 7, 2 colored mana + tap for activated ability. No haste to even use it. I actually love your commander, I just wonder how often you get to use him.

Jeska's Will - Draw/Ramp

Spreading Plague - Could be super fun....could backfire.

Command Beacon/Volrath's Stronghold - Recur expensive commander

Crystal Chimes - Recur 25% of your deck

Why run gamble over an omni tutor, low cost?

Thaumatic Compass  ^Flip - Could be too slow, but ensuring basics could be nice. The land transformation works with your defense theme.

No Mercy > Sunstone? - Or do you need the lack of damage?

How has heartless summoning been working for you? You only run 2 creatures, why not just run a Jet Medallion instead? Easier to cast, affects all black spells rather than just 2 cards. Is an artifact so it might be more susceptible to removal but the benefits far outweigh the costs IMO.

I just noticed, thanks for adding me in your description to your Gorgussy deck

MysticSnake, thank you for your patience. Since you didn't mention budget, I just put what I thought could work regardless of price point. You should add some non-basics to provide utility, also, add maybe 1-2 more lands just to ensure you don't miss land drops.

Rishkar's Expertise - Draw, either as a replacement or in addition to soul's majesty. Same with Garruk, Primal Hunter

Nylea's Colossus - Big Guy

Bear Umbra - Works well since they can't 2 for 1 u in response to cast. Nice buff and the "ramp" aspect is good, all while being an enchantment

Song of the Dryads - Removal!

Nyxbloom Ancient - Supe ramp!

Herald of the Pantheon/Cloud Key - Ramp

Season of Renewal - Recursion

Composer of Spring and Weaver of Harmony - Potentially worth considering

Rofellos's Gift - I actually don't like this card but worth mentioning.

Creeping Renaissance - Crystal chimes #2 but can be used twice and is more flexible

Overgrowth - Ramp

Sylvan Library - Draw/utility

Greater Good - Draw that is also a sac outlet to prevent theft and exile.

Tokens are outside my wheelhouse, but I'll do my best to help. Also, I see you run the Emeria Shepherd + Sakura Tribe elder synergy, nice!

My answer - Both are good, it's not hard to add in given your land centric focus of the mono colored deck

SufferFromEDHD

1-2 fetchlands?

Crow_Umbra

I read your update, I'm unsure if I already suggested it so I apologize if so. Have Given your update and how seedborn + wild rec was instrumental, would you consider Emergence Zone or Winding Canyons? They are great for combat tricks + bluffing as well.

I think exotic orchard could be taken out given you are a 2 color deck, one of them being green. With orchard, there is a small chance that you don't get the color you need.

Based on your description, I feel like we are long lost brothers. I just went all out for my favorite holiday that just passed 2 days ago. Spent a little more than I thought I would, but I got lots of great items in the goodie bags.

One day I'm gonna try to find time to comment on your sliver and marwyn deck. Until then, keep up the good work.

stay lifted

I see your name and decks pop up on the homepage from time to time. Can you tell me more about the reason behind your username DoctorMunchiesPHD? I sincerely love it!

Mistveil Plains - Or is it too slow given it's tapped and your low to the ground avg cmc and narrow for sunforger?

Why run Into the Core > Vandalblast? Is the instant speed and exile aspect more worthwhile than destroying every opposing artifact rather than 2 specific ones?

Aria of Flame - Interesting card, how has it played for you? While I understand the potential benefit, is it not a bit slow? Perhaps it's removal bait? Would love your feedback on it.

MattMan1982 I'm gonna throw a bunch of ideas at you, some are better than others, just wanna see if anything interests you. I'm not gonna provide any creature suggestions yet. Yours are always solid and I want your thoughts on these cards first.

What kind of suggestions r u looking for? Budget per card or meta considerations?

austintayshus +1, good to see you again, nice description

Aside from card draw as you mention, what other type of suggestions r you looking for? Particular budget per card or meta considerations?

Papa_Dingo +1 , long overdue

SufferFromEDHD +1 because of you, interesting deck.

Dualcaster Mage - For the combo potential with hit shimmer and twinflame, as well as general utility.

At the risk of being winmore, Alhammarret's Archive?

What is the point of squee, synergy with survival of the fittest? Reminds me of when I used to run Genesis for a similar interaction.

Skullclamp - Draw, or is it not needed?

Crow_Umbra

Thank you for your detailed reply. I understand and respect your decisions. Now that I understand about the potential flying aspect of the meta, while perhaps being too specific/meta, have you considered swapping out Kura for Raking Canopy?
