Niko9 on How Good is Pain Magnification?

2 weeks ago

Last_Laugh I agree with you, in commander it looks like a very snowballey enchantment. I think Pain Magnification might take the right deck to be great, it's not a rakdos staple, but in the right build it would absolutely be a must remove threat.

The main drawback I could see with it is that in commander players can get very salty about discarding and not everyone will have enchant removal, so you may become the archenemy when you play this.

Just throwing out ideas here, but Pain Magnification might be brutal in a rakdos Blade of Selves deck that runs Balor and Archon of Cruelty as reanimated blade carriers.

Maybe also Blade of Selves as a Magda tutorable card that combos with Copper Dragon and Blightsteel!

Blade of Selves on Reyhan is a commander damage kill as early as turn 3 (w/ 3 opponents). T1 Sol Ring into Blade. T2 Reyhan. T3 Equip and swing. The 2 Reyhan tokens die to the legend rule and those 6 counters are seen and replaced by all 3 Reyhans for 18x +1+1 counters on the original 3/3.

Thanks for checking out the deck Azoth2099. I wanted to try a different route from going the Ninjutsu route, plus I have a Satoru and Yuriko decks in my meta lol.

I used to have Genasi Enforcers in the deck, but recently replaced it with Saheeli, the Sun's Brilliance. I figured the ceiling was higher. Genasi Enforcers didn't feel great or impactful beyond mid-game turns.

I think I have Elemental Mastery on the Considering list for my Moxfield version of the deck (I peeped you're also on Moxfield from your profile blurb lol).

I haven't used Blade of Selves, but have also had it recommended for my Isshin deck. The 6 total mana to cast & equip is kind of a buzz kill for me. I don't really use equipment much in my decks besides Swiftfoot Boots, Lightning Greaves, & Skullclamp.

This Commander is so awesome lol. I've been wanting to brew it myself, but I keep getting distracted.

Have you tested Genasi Enforcers, Blade of Selves or Elemental Mastery here?

Have you ever considered Reyhan, Last of the Abzan / Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker as your commanders? They draw a LOT less hate, are easier on early mana to cast, and most importantly, having an Ozolith effect in the Command zone makes the deck far more explosive and resilient than a single proliferate per turn cycle.

It also opens up some really interesting possibilities like Blade of Selves or a kicked Rite of Replication on Reyhan. Blade is 18x +1+1 counters (a commander damage kill as early as turn 3... t1 Sol Ring into Blade, t2 Reyhan, t3 equip and swing.) and Rite is 90x +1+1 counters (this isn't even counting extra +1+1 counters or counter doublers.)

Feel free to check out my list for ideas and the deck description for a better explanation and the math for Blade of Selves/Rite of Replication. Little Rey of Ishine (Reyhan/Ishai)

Last_Laugh on Reyhan and Ishai make it happen!

Blade of Selves on Reyhan is a commander damage kill as early as turn 3. Each copy of Reyhan sees and replaces their 3 counters so 2 die to the legend rule and their 6 counters are seen and replaced by all 3 Reyhans for 18 counters. Rite of Replication kicked targeting Reyhan is 90 counters (or 30 increments of 3 counters). Check my deck description for the actual math when you factor in counter doublers etc.

Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Little Rey of Ishine (Reyhan/Ishai)

Deck Updates

These are changes based on game testing and new cards I think will improve the deck significantly. My goals are to increase the synergy but also the flow of the deck.

Cards I took out: - Athreos, God of Passage / I prefer creatures in the graveyard - Liesa, Forgotten Archangel / I prefer creatures in the graveyard - Syr Konrad, the Grim / Doesn't trigger enough for my taste - Wrath of God / I've noticed that board whipping is less effective than I thought in this deck and out of both Damnation Will be easier to cast with our mana production - Dictate of Erebos / As good as this card is Grave Pact does it for less. Additionally, I have never used its flash ability

Cards I put in: - Archaeomancer's Map / Better ramp - Blade of Selves / Myriad is crazy in this deck and can lead to quick victories or even infinite combos (which usually lead to victory) - Mondrak, Glory Dominus / This card is WAY TOO GOOD in this deck. It double tokens! It's a sacrifice outlet that makes it indestructible!! Also it combos infinitely with Blade of Selves and Ratadrabik of Urborg - Boromir, Warden of the Tower / This card alone is really good but it combos infinitely with Ratadrabik of Urborg and can be a powerful combo with cards like Grave Pact and Proper Burial - Gandalf the White / Double death triggers means double tokens with Ratadrabik of Urborg or quick wins with cards like Kokusho, the Evening Star

Things to change in the Future - Currently trying to fit "Samwise the Southearted" and "The Golden Throne" into the deck for a few additional mana combos / stabilize the mana production. - I might try to fit in "Dictate of Erebos" if possible...
