Nyx Lotus and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx the best devotion cards in the EDH library.

Thassa's Rebuff oh theme.

Thassa, God of the Sea seems good.

Rayne, Academy Chancellor and Otawara, Soaring City should be in the main.

Decent deck. You might think about getting that average cmc below 2.5 but besides that I like it

So don't take my recommendations as me disliking your deck, but I'd suggest adding Eidolon of Blossoms,Enchantress's Presence, Fertile Ground, Sigil of the Empty Throne, Wild Growth, Overgrowth, Tuvasa the Sunlit, Setessan Champion, Bear Umbra, Winds of Wrath, Arcane Signet, Thought Vessel. But consider which of the higher cmc ones you y like because average cmc is important

Suggested cuts would be: Charisma, Thornweald Archer, Rofellos's Gift, Grimoire of the Dead, Traverse the Ulvenwald, Predator Ooze, Revoke Existence, Rayne, Academy Chancellor, Lux Cannon, Stonecoil Serpent, Behemoth Sledge, Necropede, Wall of Denial, Spawning Grounds (as cool as it is, it's likely going to get the land it's on blown up), and think about taking out some of your etb tapped lands. Again these are suggestions and in no way am I saying these cards aren't good.

Anyways, hope it helps and I do like the deck, estrid proliferate is a good place for this commander

Well, I'll admit that I don't really know how to do that...

BUT

I know a pretty similar... equally spicy idea.

Basically, a while ago I tried to make a deck with Rayne, Academy Chancellor.

People crapped on my idea (not unusual) but here it is.

Basically, you use blue tutors such as Long-Term Plans to go get Spellskite, and use artifacts to give it indestructible and to provide life-gain. The rest should explain itself.

Are you committed to the colors/partners? I feel like the new Kodama of the East Tree would be a very good partner choice. You lose black, but Kodama is busted and very good in multiples!

As for some ETB legendaries that could be fun:
Kaho, Minamo Historian
Keruga, the Macrosage
God-Eternal Rhonas
Kogla, the Titan Ape
Prime Speaker Zegana
Tishana, Voice of Thunder

And here are some legendaries that don't have ETBs, but are good in multiples:
Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy
Edric, Spymaster of Trest
Kira, Great Glass-Spinner (SHEESH)
Rayne, Academy Chancellor
Reki, the History of Kamigawa
Nylea, Keen-Eyed
Thassa, Deep-Dwelling
Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty
Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger
Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur

And final note: If you could find a way to make Linessa, Zephyr Mage work in commander, it'd automatically be a fantastic deck.

If you're looking for something unique, there's always Rayne, Academy Chancellor. Commander Cookout did an episode on her. I really like my Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest U/W aura deck. There's something liberating about playing enchantress and not starting out with only 80 slots, because green.

Hi all,

Fairly new to the EDH format and looking to brew something with Rayne, Academy Chancellor . I'm not sure though what the deck could do. My playgroup is casual but they run some high power decks so I'd like a build that can hold it's own.

I'm not too keen on a self-mill win, no ill will if you do I just personally like feeling I've beaten my opponents is all. Infinite combos and things like that I'm happy to do.

So I'm wondering what ways can you brew with her? I don't want to spent a fortune. Luckily I've already got a Isochron Scepter and As Foretold which seem useful.

What ways can I go with this deck?

I've thought wizard tribal, voltron and/or artifacts. Are there efficent ways to direct opponents spells to you? Could you load your deck with enchantments like Frogify to disrupt your opponent's game?

Any ideas welcome! Especially mono blue win cons. Thank you!

Where the hell are Naban, Dean of Iteration and Panharmonicon ?

Alongside Arcane Adaptation , I'd suggest also Xenograft for the same effect.

Lullmage Mentor is a must in a wizard deck, alongside Voidmage Prodigy for control purposes.

Izzet Chronarch , Salvager of Secrets and Archaeomancer rebuy your spells! Twice, with Panharmonicon and Naban !

Barrin, Master Wizard loves tokens, as you can sacrifice them to him and remove threats! Galecaster Colossus is maybe the strongest Wizard in tribal commander decks.

Beguiler of Wills loves of you have a high creature count.

Descendant of Soramaro almost lets you stack your deck on need.

Rayne, Academy Chancellor draws lots of cards.

Serendib Sorcerer saves you from tight spots and it's politic.

capshanks01 Thank you for the comment and the suggestion, I do appreciate it. Could you also suggest a creature I exchange out of my deck to add in Rayne, Academy Chancellor? Thanks
