RecklessFable on Feather's spells

2 months ago

Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm not too worried about cost as I'm taking apart another Boros deck (The flip Avacyn) that never quite got to a good place for me, so the Mana Base, Sunforger , and even Land Tax are already my hands. I also love that I can go through my old collection from the 90s and grab junk that turns to gold here. I mean, I drafted Accelerate back in the day :)

Aria of Flame looks like an interesting risk. I guess it depends on how much removal people bring since you don't make back the life given away until the 8th cast if my math is right.

I'll see if I can find a "Target Each" wrath effect that I can save myself from using something like Ajani's Presence .

Kerakis on Feather's Spell Recycling Service

After playing last night, I get the feeling that the deck is being pulled into too many different directions. My advice is to lean into the cantrip effects while protecting Feather and the other creatures, and try to win through combat as soon as possible. I think that the token subtheme is solid, but I'd chuck the redirect shenanigans. It would make for a good laugh when/if it finally goes off, but the combo is too fragile, too expensive, and takes up way too many card slots.

My suggestions (in no particular order):

In: 25

• Gods Willing - Card draw/protection
• Balduvian Rage - Card draw/damage (potentially lethal)
• Niveous Wisps - Card draw/tap down a big creature if you sense that it will be coming at you next combat
• Panic - Card draw/get through a blocker
• Rile - Card draw/trample
• Chaos Warp - Turn tokens into value or deal with an enemy threat
• Samut's Sprint - Set up a card draw with the scry/more damage
• Shelter - Card draw/protection
• Vanguard of Brimaz - Token generation
• Boros Charm - Will likely be used to protect your board state, but could also be used to finish off an opponent(s)
• Aurelia's Fury - Can be abused repeatedly by just pinging one of your creatures/can be used as a finisher
• Seize the Day - Repeatable extra combats
• Ajani's Presence - Protection
• Balefire Liege - Lifegain and extra damage while buffing your creatures
• Iroas, God of Victory - Menace and damage prevention when you're swinging. Definitely.
• Titan's Strength - More damage/Scry to set up card draw
• Valorous Stance - Protection/Destroy an enemy threat
• Guided Strike - Card draw/might be able to first strike surprise someone
• Temur Battle Rage - Finisher
• Accelerate - Card draw/haste
• Grapeshot - You'll be casting enough cheap spells that this could be a finisher
• Swiftfoot Boots - Feather is key to the strategy, so hexproof is going to be very useful. I wouldn't bother with Lightning Greaves though.
• Aetherflux Reservoir - Definitely. Lifegain and one-shotting an opponent.
• Fellwar Stone - R/W are the two least played, so you may have more trouble getting what you want, but more mana is rarely bad.
• Darksteel Ingot - Colored mana rock

Maybe:

• Purphoros, God of the Forge - On the fence with this one, but I think you have enough token generation to warrant him.
• Twinflame - Multiple Heroic trigger and synergizes well with Purphoros
• Spawning Breath - Puke up tokens for ramp/Purph triggers. Bonus points if you proc Heroic.
• Assemble the Legion - Another iffy card that I'd probably only run with the Purph package. It pretty much has to be answered or it will get out of control, but it takes time.
• Skullclamp - Plenty of tokens to draw cards off of. May already have enough card draw, if there is such a thing. Test to find out.
• Bathe in Light - Protection for likely many of your creatures, but no card draw, and it doesn't protect against board wipes.
• Grand Abolisher - We aren't a particularly counter-heavy meta, but I think this might warrant an include to protect from getting hit with a 2-for-1 destroy spell in response to your targeting your creature with a spell. This deck will be reliant on swinging hard every turn.
• Duergar Hedge-Mage - We have a pretty enchantment/artifact heavy meta, but if you are fast enough, it may not matter.
• Runaway Steam-Kin - Useful for storing up some red mana for those X spells, but there aren't many in the deck currently.
• Vandalblast - cough Meta cough
• Soul's Fire - Good way to finish someone off, if you can't get through easily. Might not be necessary.
• Emerge Unscathed - Protection. The free cast is nice, but lacks the card draw.
• Sentinel Tower - Iffy on this one, but I think you'll cast enough spells to make this valuable.
• Graceful Reprieve - ETB triggers/"Protection". Definitely better than Gift of Immortality in this deck, but you should be able to keep your creatures alive without needing this.
• Teferi's Protection - Dodging boardwipes is useful, but this may be unnecessary. No way of abusing Feather's ability here.
• Gilded Lotus - Colored mana rock, but with such a low average CMC, this may not be necessary relative to the cost.
• Fell the Mighty - Board wipe that will let you keep at least something of yours. Test to see if it is necessary. You may be able to outpace opponents without it.
• Austere Command - Value city. Likely to be used to wipe other threats while keeping your own. Test to see if it is necessary. You may be able to outpace opponents without it.
• Chandra's Ignition - paired with one of the spells that give protection or indestructible, and targeting a heavy hitter, you can wipe everyone else's creatures and keep your own. Might be too heavy-handed, but probably worth testing.
• Bandage - Card draw/possible protection. The protection seems a bit weak, so I'd only add it, if you feel that you're stalling out on card draw.
• Heal - Card draw/possible protection The protection seems a bit weak, so I'd only add it, if you feel that you're stalling out on card draw.

Out: 25

• Crowd's Favor - Not sure that it does enough to warrant a card slot, especially without drawing you a card.
• Galvanic Blast - Part of the cut redirect package. Little use outside of said package.
• Liberate - Currently, the only ETB effects in the deck are Captain of the Watch and Stuffy Doll 's choose a player clause, both of which I would recommend cutting. It would synergize with the Purph package, but even still I'm not sure it warrants a spot, given all the protection you already have.
• Lightning Bolt - Part of the cut redirect package. Little use outside of said package.
• Lightning Strike - Part of the cut redirect package. Little use outside of said package.
• Magnetic Theft - There are currently only two equipments in the deck, and you're unlikely to face too many equipments in our meta, since your decks make up most of the equipment in said meta.
• Shock - Part of the cut redirect package. Little use outside of said package.
• Authority of the Consuls - The small amount of lifegain is unlikely to be needed. The hatebear effect is too easy to play around.
• Gift of Immortality - This card doesn't synergize with much of anything. You're better off running protection spells that Feather can return to your hand.
• Guilty Conscience - Part of the cut redirect package. Little use outside of said package.
• Indestructibility - With as many instants that give a creature indestructible, this card seems unnecessary and only serves to slow the deck down.
• Pariah - Part of the cut redirect package. Little use outside of said package.
• Shielded by Faith - With as many instants that give a creature indestructible, this card seems unnecessary and only serves to slow the deck down.
• Boros Reckoner - Part of the cut redirect package. Little use outside of said package.
• Captain of the Watch - There are only 3 other soldiers in the deck. She might (barely) make the cut, if you had Purphoros, but I'd likely still cut her.
• Coalhauler Swine - Part of the cut redirect package. Little use outside of said package.
• Fabled Hero - Basically, just a beater. I'd much rather proc the other Heroic triggers in order to get tokens to protect against forced sacrifice effects.
• Firesong and Sunspeaker - You have 1 white spell that can trigger this, and that is if you swords your own creature. You have 6 (cut to 2 with these suggestions) red spells that will gain you life. Using Blasphemous Act to gain a bunch of life is neat, but lifegain in Commander is often negligible due to commander damage, and with so few ways of actually triggering this card at all, it definitely doesn't make the cut.
• Stuffy Doll - Part of the cut redirect package. Little use outside of said package.
• Truefire Captain - Part of the cut redirect package. Little use outside of said package.
• Fire Diamond - Not terrible when you get it early, but coming in tapped is going to feel bad when you need the mana that turn.
• Marble Diamond - Not terrible when you get it early, but coming in tapped is going to feel bad when you need the mana that turn.
• Pariah's Shield - Part of the cut redirect package. Little use outside of said package.
• Pearl Medallion - Not enough high CMC white cards to warrant this, especially since it doesn't discount the color cost.
• Chain Lightning - Part of the cut redirect package. Little use outside of said package.

Here ya go, Derrick,

Where is Gamble

Ramp or extra mana

Fellwar Stone , Fire Diamond , Marble Diamond , MindStone, Sword of the Animist , Thought Vessel , Hardened Berserker , Treasonous Ogre , Neheb, the Eternal , Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion Desperate Ritual , Pyretic Ritual , Seething Song ,

Target spells that are dope

Coordinated Assault , Enrage , Otherworldly Outburst is cool and you can loop it if the creature you buff dies making a token, Samut's Sprint , Titan's Strength , Accelerate , Aleatory , Chaotic Strike , Stun , Niveous Wisps , Carom , Formation gives banding which is spicy, Spiritualize , Stave Off , Bathe in Light , Feat of Resistance , Chaos Warp target tokens to get permanets from your deck for free, and is good removal.

Heroic/Prowess Creatures cuz value

Vanguard of Brimaz , Fabled Hero , Tethmos High Priest , Leonin Iconoclast , Arena Athlete , Akroan Line Breaker , Monastery Swiftspear , Soul-Scar Mage , Dragon-Style Twins ,

these are some cards I think you should look at, don't need all and some might not fit exactly but if you like them then put them in. Cut some lands you can go down to 34 if you add in more artifacts, which go great with paradox engine.

Cards I think you should replace: Emerge Unscathed rebound fucks with your commander it exiles them not letting you put them back into your hand; Aurelia's Fury really expensive to get any good use out of it, or if you want protection during your turns run Grand Abolisher or Silence ; Expose Evil is too slow of a draw engine Mentor of the Meek with the tokens you make is better for drawing; Burnished Hart and Solemn Simulacrum are meh, better to go with artifact ramp that can feed the paradox plan, plus artifact ramp is cheaper and faster; speaking of artifacts Boros Cluestone and Boros Keyrune are good flavor options but aren't that good as other artifacts; Inferno Titan and Sun Titan are good creatures but don't fit into the game plan as well better to put things that help with the gameplan.

This looks awesome. Have you considered Accelerate , Boiling Blood , Brute Force , Fall of the Hammer , Panic , Assault Strobe , Howl of the Horde , Renegade Tactics , Darksteel Plate or Goblin Chirurgeon ?

Chirurgeon is great to regen/protect and some of the other draw cards like panic and renegade tactics would be insane for drawing and wouldn't affect you much on your own turn.

mgc974 on How bad is a commander ...

10 months ago

I think there is no commander enough bad to not play it (exept the ones you mentionned, but there are different)

I think there are just more effective (they have better impact in the game, or they provide a better deckbuilding) commander than others.

For example a commander like Zada, Hedron Grinder i don't think she's bad on its own but the deckbuilding will need some weak cards, some cards that without Zada, will be useless. Like Accelerate or Crimson Wisps

Made extensive changes to this deck since my previous post a few weeks ago, and it's even more fun now with lots of different ways to win. Polymorph puts all creatures from your library into play to trigger Ally ETBs. Fiery Gambit lets you flip coins to burn opponents out or draw lots of cards and untap your lands. Polymorphous Rush adds a new dimension to the deck, comboing with Silverfur Partisan for an explosive number of Wolves, and creating unexpected synergies with cards already in the deck like Harabaz Druid and Reef Worm. Zulaport Cutthroat works great with and without Polymorphous Rush since the deck kills its own creatures.

Looking to include a few of the cards in the last section of the description like Graceful Reprieve, Reincarnation, Accelerate, Twinflame, Nivmagus Elemental, Jwari Shapeshifter, Chasm Skulker, Mitotic Slime, and Xenagos, the Reveler, so any suggestions for cuts would be great.

piedudecubed on Minotaur Commander

Target Minotaur is banned
Borderland Minotaur
Marauding Boneslasher
Abandon Hope isn't that good - hurts you more than opponent
Bend or Break hurts you as well - sure you want to destroy your own lands?
Replace Hijack with Insurrection
Onyx Goblet isn't good enough (1 damage is lame)
Nice job with Whip of Erebos
Replace Accelerate with Fervor
Check out Akroma's Memorial
I like Dark Deal - also put in Reforge the Soul and Wheel of Fortune
Check out cards like Door of Destinies, Obelisk of Urd, Vanquisher's Banner, etc
Add Rogue's Passage
You're playing black, find some cards to bring back all cards from your graveyard (like Rise of the Dark Realms)
Add the disk, as well as some anti board wipe cards
You need some double strike and multiple combat phases! Blood Mist and Savage Beating are some examples, there are better ones out there though

Overall good job though, looking like a mean deck
