Animation Module

Artifact

Whenever one or more +1/+1 counters are placed on a permanent you control, you may pay 1. If you do, create a 1/1 colorless Servo artifact creature token.

3, T: Choose a counter on target permanent or player. Give that permanent or player another counter of that kind.

IQuarent on What if I changed Vorosh to Partners?

5 days ago

Vorosh is very weak. He wasn't even good when he came out, and since then he's been very powercrept badly. I've been wanting to build more partner decks with the 2016 partners ever since I bought those decks and this combination seemed like a natural fit. Adding white has also proved to be very beneficial.

This deck is built with high synergy in mind. Practically everything in the deck has to do with counters, Phyrexian Reclamation being one of the only exceptions. Jarad is a good card of course, and creatures in this deck get very large, but he has no synergy other than that. We also already have a way to win outside of combat with Simic Ascendancy.

I don't see Blade of Selves being good in here at all. It's only good with like 3-5 cards (Reyhan, Zegana and Quilled Greatwurm and arguably Railway Brawler and Ancient Bronze Dragon) other than those 3-5 cards it does basically nothing. There's a rule I follow in deckbuilding (the Rule of 7) where if I'm putting something in it needs to work with at least 7 other cards and this doesn't.

Gitrog is definitely a powerful card. It could potentially do work in here. That being said the deck isn't really hurting for card draw or ramp. One of the decks weaknesses lies in that there aren't enough cards that synergize with counters, ramp, and cost 3 are less to consistently get off to strong starts. Gitrog doesnt really shore up on that weakness being 5. I'll think about it.

I was aware of Agonasaur Rex (it's in the maybeboard as well as Basking Broodcale) and was considering giving it a try, the problem is there are already 3 protection spells in this deck (Mutational Advantage, Inspiring Call and Ripples of Potential) and they're all better. It's not needed.

Evolution Witness is already in here, I just haven't updated the description yet.

There are a lot of cards that do what Basking Broodscale does, namely Scurry Oak, Herd Baloth and Animation Module. I've tried several of them in the deck before and while making a ton of tokens can be good to combo, or on defense, or with Cathar's Crusade, I found that it's too much investment to be doing what is essentially a side objective. The deck doesn't need cards that are in there basically only to combo or to get incidental value when the main gameplan is already so effective.

Ignite the Future: Three spells for two mana seems pretty good. Flashbacking it later for six mana doesn't seem horrible either.

While I like the card, I don't really get your justification for Training Grounds. You're not going to activate the transformation abilty more than once per Norman casting; between those times it'll mostly just sit uselessly unless you got Burnished Hart out (which by the way is IMO overrated, as is Solemn Simulacrum). Animation Module seems out of place too, Norman conniving and other +1/+1 counter-puttings doesn't seem like they'll happen too often.

Missing Animation Module to Go with rosie. Add Krark-Clan Ironworks. KCI + Vending machine goes infinite with Peregrin Took or Academy Manufactor and adding Arcbound Ravager will increase redundancy in those combo lines. Idk what you should take out but not having KCI is a huge whiff. My best recommendation is toss Dusk / Dawn for it. As for Animation Module that one is a good card but im not sure it can make its way into the list as adamantly as KCI should.

I have a deck that utilizes a lot of the same combos. You should check it out. Vending Machine Slumlord CEO

I have recently noticed that the Kaladesh Modules aren't listed as a combo or synergy... I tried to add them as such and got a message saying it was previously rejected...

The cards are

Animation Module

Decoction Module

Fabrication Module

Can we please add this synergy combo.

Also just a single Animation Module can make the deck into a real grind machine, able to pump out a bunch of token which can be chump blockers or fodder for Arcbound Ravager or Throne of Geth

multimedia on Optimus Prime Rolls Out!

Hey, good version so far and nice Transmute Artifact. It's crazy only three cards here make up $1700+ of the $2k deck price.

Your deck doesn't have a Commander. In the deck editor where you see text list of the cards add CMDR to the end of Optimus?

Optimus Prime, Hero *CMDR*

When you save and return to your deck Optimus will be the Commander with it's own category and card image.

Definitely find room for Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp since it does a lot for a 1 drop. Zabaz + Optimus Prime, Autobot Leader  Flip is honestly all you really need since the little bug does it all. Modular and being a repeatable sac outlet for Optimus Prime, Hero  Flip is excellent. It can sac itself to then put all it's counters on Optimus Prime, Autobot Leader  Flip for a huge attack of lethal Commander damage to an opponent. It being a sac outlet for Optimus Prime, Hero  Flip is what makes it powerful.

Animation Module can be part of a combo for infinite counters on all creatures you control and infinite Servos with Ashnod's Altar + Cathars' Crusade. The only problem with this combo is Crusade is an enchantment, not an artifact. Without having tutors to get Crusade it could be difficult to assemble. If you add Crusade then enchantment tutors would help.

Some cards here to consider cutting for these:

Because of bolster and other counter sources then the small +1/+1 anthem effect is not really needed from Chief of the Foundry or Master of Etherium. You have three better creatures here who protect artifacts, Bronze Guardian is not needed. Arcbound Crusher could simply be cut for a better modular creature? Towashi Guide-Bot at 4 mana is too much for what you get. Yes, it could be repeatable draw, but you have to tap it to draw only once. It is good with Unwinding Clock, but without Clock it's subpar.

Before I make other card suggestions, what is your budget for making upgrades? You have some of the most expensive price cards in Magic here, but you also have some of the worst budget lands thus I don't know what to think. Some areas to consider expanding on are ramp and sac outlets? Ramp to make it easier to cast Optimus and sac outlets to abuse Optimus Prime, Hero  Flip convert. 9 sources of ramp is low when Optimus is 5 or 6 mana.

Optimus Prime, Hero  Flip has to die to convert, having some sources to sac him can be helpful and also give lots of value. Sac outlets let you repeatedly use both sides of Optimus and they help to get around having to cast 6 mana Optimus Prime, Hero  Flip. Instead, More Than Meets the Eye for Optimus Prime, Autobot Leader  Flip which can be even less than 5 mana with any effect that reduces artifact casting cost.

To get around summoning sickness you want to be able to sac Optimus Prime, Hero  Flip on an opponent's turn. If you sac Optimus Prime, Hero  Flip on your turn then when it returns to the battlefield it has summoning sickness, can't attack without haste. This isn't as bad if you have another creature to attack + bolster because Optimus Prime, Autobot Leader  Flip itself doesn't have to attack to convert, but still you want to be attacking with trampling Optimus Prime, Autobot Leader  Flip doing Commander damage.

If you're interested I offer more advice when I get a better idea what your budget is for upgrades. Would you like more advice?

Good luck with your deck.

Looking pretty solid so far! I suggest Animation Module with the Basri's Lieutenant , Good-Fortune Unicorn (Dreadhorde Invasion, Master Biomancer... ) package.

Also Rishkar, Peema Renegade is a more reliable Katilda, Dawnhart Prime in my opinion.

Perhaps my take on reyhan holds some inspiration. It also has a written primer about the cards I mentioned.

So, Massacar, I've realized that an Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar can go infinite in this deck with Animation Module. Sac a token creature to Altar to add . Grizzy's triggered ability adds a +1/+1 counter to him. Use to activate Module's ability to put a Servo token into play. Sac the Servo to start the process over again. Make Grizzy big and awesome. Nets on mana each time, too, if there are other shenanigans I can think of running. Would work with Phyrexian Altar too, just not with the infinite mana. Now that I know this, I may have to add this one little combo in...
