Some suggestions:

In my opinion, the newer cycle of spellbombs is a lot better than the old one, since they let you do both options. For these colors that would be Horizon Spellbomb and Origin Spellbomb.

Ancestral Statue- Can get you an additional bounce effect on one of your splicers.

Triplicate Titan and Phyrexian Triniform- both expensive beaters that are resilient to most removal and generate a ton of value for you. Not sure what your playgroup looks like, but it didn't seem like you had many bombs in the deck, so these might fill that slot!

BrassLord, great suggestion! Added to the deck. I wasn't aware that Ancestral Statue existed; it's a fantastic card for any cost reduction commander, thanks!

A fun change indeed! Food for thought, animar also plays really well with creatures with bounce abilities. Ancestral Statue for example can bounce himself, leading to an oops infinite big animar! Also he reduces morph costs, so you could make a mighty morphing mutate deck!

deathjunky If I were trying to build a Modern Panharmonicon with Tron Lands deck, I think i’d initially set myself the following restrictions:

1. Make sure there’s a full playset of Panharmonicon. The card is important to have in play, so we should be ensuring we get it.

2. Ensure that the vast majority of the deck benefits from Panharmonicon. I would ditch the Eldrazi entirely for this, and focus on artifacts to make for a toolboxy build using Whir of Invention (this would allow us to get setup, while also getting pieces we need).

3. Figure out how much we need Tron active. We either need low-ish cmc with Chalice of the Void, or we need to splash green to ensure Tron becomes active. I’m personally in favour of option A, though i think i’d still splash green for the likes of Thragtusk.

I think i’d end up with something like this (just spitballing, so this can easily be refined):

• 4x Panharmonicon
• 4x Chalice of the Void
• 3x Prophetic Prism
• 1x Welding Jar
• 1x Cloudstone Curio
• 1x Jester's Scepter
• 4x Karn, the Great Creator
• 4x Ice-Fang Coatl
• 2x Thragtusk
• 1x Acidic Slime
• 1x Meteor Golem
• 1x Esika's Chariot
• 1x Ancestral Statue
• 1x Myr Battlesphere
• 3x Thought Monitor
• 4x Whir of Invention
• 4x Botanical Sanctum
• 4x Snow-Covered Island
• 4x Waterlogged Grove
• 4x Urza's Mine
• 4x Urza's Power Plant
• 4x Urza's Tower

(Note, after going through that exercise, the biggest takeaway I have is that I don’t think Panharmonicon wants to be in the same deck as Tron-lands. If i’d just built this as a UG creature list, instead of a tron based build, i think it’d have been easier to ramp, and have access to better payoffs (i.e Hornet Queen). I think the best path forward for your Panharmonicon might be to ditch Tron)

Last_Laugh on Animar, Soul of Combo's

11 months ago

Spellseeker and Neoform are both good on their own but they also enable the most efficient combo line in Animar. It only requires , 4 life, Imperial Recruiter in hand, and Animar only needs 2 counters. Imperial Recruiter looks up Phyrexian Metamorph. Metamorph for 2 life copies Recruiter and looks up Spellseeker. Spellseeker looks up Neoform. Neoform sacs Spellseeker to look up Ancestral Statue. Self bounce the Statue until Animar is double all of your opponents life totals and use the Statue's final bounce to return Phyrexian Metamorph to hand. Metamorph for 2 life again copies Imperial Recruiter to look up Walking Ballista for the win.

Weird Harvest is another effect to look up Statue/Ballista for the win.

Hey there! Hope all is well. Was checking out your list and could recommend running a copy of Ancestral Statue . It bounces your Merchant so you can recast from your hand rather than the Command Zone. Also Tortured Existence can help you recycle the Merchant from your graveyard so you can recast and net more gain.

Just a couple ideas I though might me pretty good to include.

Have fun!!
