TheSlowestBro on Burakos, Folk Hero

Hi, thank you for the comment!

Faller's Faithful is certainly interesting, I hadn't noticed that it can be used on my own creature as draw in a pinch, that's interesting!

Kutzil's Flanker wasn't at all on my radar, I think I will have to find a spot for it, really like the flexibility on it. Also flash cards make a lot of sense to look further into, thank you for that.

Assault Intercessor as much as I love 40k and marines, it's just too far removed flavorwise from the rest of the deck. I know I have a Chronomancer in here but somehow it still feels more wizardy-necromancy that I can sort of allow it as opposed to a guy in power armor (though this is highly subjective I'm aware heh).

The Party creature batching has so many fun options that allow for interesting meta picks. One of the fun things about checking out other Party decks is how unique each one is. Here's a few cards that I currently play or have on my radar for potential swaps in my Party stuff:

• Assault Intercessor - Can be a solid meta pick if you play against Aristocrats stuff pretty frequently. The keywords also make it a solid option on offense and defense.

• Faller's Faithful - I haven't found a slot for this one yet, but it offers some interesting flexibility as removal or a pseudo-sac enabler to draw from.

• Kutzil's Flanker - I've found that Flash creatures are pretty helpful once Burakos & Folk Hero are on board together. I've mostly used it for the surprise graveyard hate, or to have an unexpected big creature after a board wipe.

Burakos, Party Leader is such a fun commander. I really enjoy the flexibility of having all the party creature types already in the command zone. I have a suggestions if you're interested:

• If it's in your budget, I'd recommend adding Roaming Throne. It has some incredible flexibility in this deck, and will always work with Burakos.

• There is an infinite combo option that can fit pretty seamlessly into this deck. It utilizes Leonin Relic-Warder + Animate Dead + an aristocrat like Zulaport Cutthroat/Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim. I like this combo because Relic-Warder and the reanimation pieces can all work as separate pieces, and don't really feel like dead draws outside of the combo.

• Might be more of a meta dependent choice, but Assault Intercessor is one of my favorite Warrior options for the deck. Admittedly, I do encounter aristocrats strats in my meta often enough to play this.

• Kutzil's Flanker is another newer option with Flash and graveyard hate as some enticing options. Another more meta dependent choice.

• I'd recommend checking out Emergence Zone and Scout's Warning as means of playing creatures at instant speed. Most of the creatures in Burakos, Party Leader/Folk Hero decks tend to be fairly low to the ground. Helpful to get some additional cantrip-y draw on other players' turns.

I hope these suggestions are helpful. I'm down to chat through any others if you're open to it. Burakos/Folk Hero has a decent suite of creature options to fine-tune to different metas.

Dazard on Everybody in the Club Gettin' Keywords

I would suggest adding Bassara Tower Archer because it is cheap and it adds the powerful keyword "hexproof" to your graveyard. I play a kathril deck for myself: Who wants some keyword soup? where basically all you need is Buried Alive to put Zetalpa, Primal Dawn, Bassara Tower Archer and Vampire Nighthawk in your graveyard. (if you want to overkill the whole thing, also add Assault Intercessor to make your commander even bigger and less blockable) Now you can summon your commander with 9 (11 with assault intercessor) counters on it, so it becomes an unstoppable beast that usually oneshots your opponents due to commander damage. You don't even need that much creatures with keywords. Focus more on creatures that can tutor creatures into your graveyard like Corpse Connoisseur, Gravebreaker Lamia, Oriq Loremage or Vile Entomber. Add spells like Jarad's Orders or Final Parting and you will get your most valuable keywords in your graveyard easily. Also add some flicker spells (as already mentioned) to maximize your (commander's) etb effect and to give some sort of protection (f.e. spot removal)
