As of Jun 28, 2023, updates have been made to improve playability of this deck.

Playtesting with 2 opponents (3-player games) had revealed that the deck needed multiple methods that allow me to sacrifice Toluz, Clever Conductor when:

  • I'm ready to; maybe because I want to scoop up all the cards being held in exile (ability of this commander)
  • I need to short-circuit an opponent's attempt to exile Toluz, Clever Conductor

The deck now contains three cards to enable creature sacrifice:

Other (Additional) Deck Changes:

New MTG creature cards have been released which allow the player to momentarily exile their own creatures:

That's powerful for this deck, so those two cards have been added. They work well with the deck's function of sending permanents into exile, turn after turn:

I'm eager to play this deck again.

The deck was really neat! You definitely struggled against Tron though.

I'm not sure how good Leyline of Hexproof is, as it was never brought in, you can out race burn, and discard mostly helps your ultimate plan, plus Grief (If it stays in) shuts down opponents' options. Maybe a card for tron would help that matchup? Haven't followed reanimator lists too closely though so not sure on that one.

Following your thoughts on swapping out the elementals for other targets, these are all things that came to mind:

  • Terrastadons, as that card was beastly against everything.
  • Ashen Rider (Removes anything, including tron pieces)
  • Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur (Dies to bolt, but lets you dump cards/find reanimate spells really quickly and forces opponents to deal with it or lose)
  • Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger (Nasty critter that ends games if its allowed to attack)
  • Iona, Shield of Emeria (Shuts off mono colored strategies, and is annoying against even 2/3 color decks)
  • Sundering Titan (The more colors the more backbreaking)
  • Griselbrand (With some tweaking maybe its a comboey list? Nasty critter on its own too)

As for Temporary Lockdown, it definitively has legs in modern. It was super sweet against everything you went against, and there are many other tier decks it would hurt

Ashen Rider, Archon of Cruelty, and Agent of Treachery might be good entomb targets. You could also consider running Raffine, Scheming Seer, Varina, Lich Queen, Occult Epiphany, and The Celestus as good ways to fill up the graveyard for Sefris reanimation.

KongMing I am afraid, blink spells won't work here, since both Archon of Justice and Ashen Rider have to die. I am not 100% certain about Mangara of Corondor, even though I believe he needs to be exild too for the ability to resolve properly. Possible options I see for this deck are Unburial rights, Ascent of the Worthy, Footsteps of the Goryo, Hell's Caretaker or Persist in combination with Village Rites or Reckoner's Bargain.

If you’re intent on running a large array of big creatures, a reasonable way to do this would be to run a playset of Summoner's Pact. This way, you can run one-ofs of a bunch of cards, and fetch up what you need for the given scenario. This hopefully will get you down to only needing 10 “payoff” cards (4x Pact, 6x creatures).

As far as your big creatures go, there’s a fair-few better options to choose from, depending on your budget. Here’s a list of solid things to ramp into:

LMAO Ashen Rider GET FUCKED. New sideboard tech for Show and Tell. Ok, sure, they get rid of your Xander, but they discard half the cards in their hand. If they don't have the Ashen Rider when you Show and Tell, you can just win with your 6/6. I guess Swords to Plowshares is still good, right?
