RockIV on Golgari commander deck Opinions

4 weeks ago

ive been thinking and im probably taking out Desecration Demon, Spiritmonger and Skarrg Goliath and add Stonehoof Chieftain, Plated Slagwurm and maybe Hydra Broodmaster and Gleancrawler or Carnage Wurm or Yargle, Glutton of Urborg

im also cheking some other supporting cards like Binding the Old Gods, Bone Shredder, Yavimaya Granger

also Ghoultree and Unnatural Growth that have been recomended by some users could be good adds too

ty for the advice guys, Ghoultree could be a good add, it will always be cheap. Unnatural Growth seems to be a very strong add for every creature centered deck.

Considering:

• Fae Offering
  ++ Introduces a fun little minigame. ++ Exciting with Academy Manufactor
  -- Unable to trigger on opponents' turns without flash creatures, but that's minor
• Victimize
  ++ Pet reanimation spell, fantastic with with tokens
• Invasion of Ikoria  ^Flip (+ maybe Vampire Hexmage)
  -- Can't fetch amazing humans (Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Species Specialist, Eternal Witness, Pitiless Plunderer, Jaheira, Friend of the Forest)
  ++ Less salt-inducing wincon than Natural Order->Craterhoof Behemoth or a giant Finale of Devastation
  ++ Battles are a fun minigame when not fetching Hexmage
  -- Hexmage is lackluster on its own
  -- Not as guaranteed of a win condition as a big Finale
  -- The Invasion being a permanent opens it up to removal before it flips
• Llanowar Elves et al
  ++ Get Chatterfang out on turn 2 to start going ham sooner
• Nested Shambler back in
  ++ BB to double your squirrel count still seems good
• Force of Vigor
  ++ Creature spot removal is shored up by Chatterfang and all other removal spells hit creatures, so might be reasonable to have this not
  ++ Probably better in-slot than Binding the Old Gods

Potential cuts:

• Craterhoof Behemoth
  == If Invasion of Ikoria  ^Flip goes in
  ++ Cutting makes Natural Order worse, but also no longer as groan-inducing
• Finale of Devastation
  == If Invasion of Ikoria  ^Flip goes in
• Witch's Oven
  ++ Cheap sac outlet that works with Academy Manufactor and Gilded Goose -- Slow and food otherwise sucks.
  -- The bonus only really happens if Chitterspitter has gone up several times
  ++ Is fetchable with Urza's Saga, but it's the worst option of the current three. Always fetch Skullclamp over this.
• Tireless Tracker
  -- Second-worst token maker behind Witch's Oven
  -- Only eight fetchlands + Binding the Old Gods and Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip to double-trigger
  ++ Does qualify as a (slow) draw engine
  ++ Works with Academy Manufactor
• Binding the Old Gods
  -- Worst ramp and worst removal
  ++ Removal count is still moderately low, though. Can't rely on Chatterfang's ability for everything.
  -- Probably worse in slot than Force of Vigor
• Saw in Half
  ++ Does function as bad protection against spot removal -- Not a lot of nonlegendary creatures worth copying that don't already win the game, so often dead
  Eternal Witness
  Tireless Provisioner
  Tireless Tracker
  Species Specialist
  Grim Hireling
  Academy Manufactor
  Tendershoot Dryad
  Nadier's Nightblade
  Deep Forest Hermit
  -- Even when there is a target, often win-more

Ik zou de Piranha Marsh inwisselen voor een Barren Moor of een basic. Je kunt ook evt een Desert of the Glorified kunnen toevoegen en ik zou sws een Ash Barrens en een Myriad Landscape erin stoppen.

Je kunt makkelijk naar ong 40 lands, ik zou de ruimte die daarmee vrij komt vullen met removal/draw, zoals Tear Asunder, Putrefy, Harmonize, Binding the Old Gods en Casualties of War

Nice, as well as the other additions you've got planned I'd definitely consider Bane of Progress - by the time you cast it this deck probably doesn't care about losing its enchantments or artifacts (honestly not sure you even need a Sol Ring, you're better getting more mana dorks like Tangled Florahedron  ^Flip) but it will annihilate some other strategies. Plus you ARE in green which is full of Regrowth effects that are pretty on-theme of you're desperate to get stuff back! The deck is maybe a little lacking in non-creature removal for me, simply as without blue you may struggle to interact with combo pieces. Thankfully Golgari has this in spades with cards such as Abrupt Decay, Binding the Old Gods, Putrefy and Culling Ritual/Maelstrom Pulse. Those last two are also ways to wipe all your saprolings if you don't have a sac outlet, something the deck might want more of it you're planning on them all dying to kill with drain effects - free ones with upside like Viscera Seer are obviously the best! Either would be better than Mandate for you here - that's really for when you are sure you'll have a big dude and need him to get in. All too often I think you'll find it only blows up Saprolings and if you're lucky some other small tokens opponents have, and if you don't have a creature to target it does nothing. Willowdusk is really worth considering if you're gaining life BTW, she'll quickly create big threats to distract people from what's actually going to win you the game. Also Vraska is a way better planeswalker than Ob Nixilis, I'd probably go with her Golgari Queen iteration but The Unseen is ok too. Finally you can always upgrade the lands but TBH basics will probably be fine here for the most part, especially given your ramp choices (could include Kodama's Reach in that package too?).
