2-1 at FNM tonight.

BotaNickill, 1 month ago

Pretty happy with the Deck's performance tonight. I should have probably taken a mulligan on a couple of the hands to hope for better, but who knows, it could have been worse. I think I could have used some tutoring cards to help with consistency, and more card draw wouldn't hurt. I sure miss Defiant Strike. but, I picked up copies of Brightglass Gearhulk and Divine Resilience to try out. Tutor for the Venerated Rotpriest and target as many creatures as I can! Lets gO!!!

End of an era...

NonetheWeisser, 1 month ago

This is the final and most optimal build i have come up with. After years of testing, this deck netted us a 69% Win Rate at its best. Not bad if I do say so myself. If anything ever changes or new cards are released, I may come back to this. In the meantime, I am currently building a They Came From the Swap V2...stay tuned...;)

Tiny May 2025 Update

EscapingBurger, 1 month ago

In: Plea for Guidance

Out: Mystical TutorGC

I took the "budget" tag off this deck a bit ago, as it's accumulated some decently expensive cards by now, but I still very much build with a budget mentality. Mystical Tutor was here because I opened one and had nowhere better to put it, but now I do (A Target-Rich Environment). I always intended for an enchantment tutor in this slot, to find some of Oloro's major win conditions like Exquisite Blood/Sanguine Bond or Test of Endurance. I still don't have an Idyllic Tutor or Enlightened TutorGC, but Plea for Guidance was cheap and can find two enchantments. It's definitely clunkier, but worth a try for now.

got to playtest against Abzan aggro today

Major Revisions

octopimp, 1 month ago

I've done a lot of work the last few days, switched a lot of things around, drawn quite a few sample hands and playtested it here on TO. It is possible with a good hand to get a turn 6 win by raw damage alone, let alone commander damage. Barring new suggestions in line with my visions for this deck, this is probably it's Final Form. Let me know what you think!

Refined a bit

New Commander?

MarshalLaeroth, 1 month ago

Hello 2025;

So I am sitting here and reading an EDHrec article and I am now considering some changes to this deck -- the commander. While Arahbo, Roar of the World has been a good solid bracket 3 commander for quite a while, it's best ability is to buff multiple creatures with the 3 mana ability and he doesn't tend to last very long on the board. When your entire game wants to go through your commander, it feels bad when he is unable to stay in play. So what am I considering in exchange? Marisi, Breaker of the Coil. He expands my color selections, which opens up a ton of combat tricks and win cons, especially in Boros. He gives me defense in the combat phase which is where most of my damage comes from. Goad is also a very powerful mechanic. Lots to like about this cat, even if he doesn't give the pure power that Arahbo gives.

Cat cards I would also consider if I made the change: Jetmir, Nexus of Revels, Ajani, Nacatl Pariah  ^Flip, Roxanne, Starfall Savant, and Sunspine Lynx. Not to mention all of the red and Boros combat staples.

Much to consider.

Am I crazy?

BirdieGirlie, 1 month ago

I have been pestering all of my friends for thoughts and criticism on this deck and. I've been playtesting it obsessively and the first ten turns at least feel so ludicrously good imo?? Am I crazy for thinking this is actually shaping up pretty well??? Tell me the truth I want to crush my friends ;P Also, I inputted the current decklist into Card Kingdom and it came out to be cheaper than I expected, including the possibility of played cards. I kind of want to...upgrade that. I want this to be really, really good, as best as I can make it without going truly nuts. like $200? So like, what can I even upgrade? Like I don't want to put in a Cyclonic Rift level card...or do I? Should I? We're a pretty casual group but this deck premise is pretty flimsy and difficult to pull off in theory, maybe I should go all out to try to ensure I can pull it off???
