Big lifegain, big creatures - Willowdusk
3 days ago
Hey Walrighti, +1!
Congrats on your first deck! You have a lot of fun cards in here and it looks great! I imagine you want to tune and make it even more efficient so here are some ideas...
Add 3 categories: #Combo, #Lifegain, and #Evasion; and then sort your maybeboard the same way you've done your mainboard to easily rank your choices within a category (By "combo" I mean all your "if-then" cards like Trudge Garden that are slower and don't work by themselves). Remove #Creatures (most of them are #Combo).
Avoid most cards above 4 cmc... Willowdusk is fast and fragile, so play into that... Also, prioritize cards that can do 2 or more things or that give value on ETB... If you have pet cards that don't really fit and that hurt to cut, put them in a "I'll build that theme later" list.
-1 Pelakka Wurm
-1 Ezzaroot Channeler ... cut the fatties.
-1 Decree of Pain ... too slow
-1 Bow of Nylea ... meh
-1 Jarad's Orders < Diabolic Tutor
-1 Sangromancer ... amazing card but doesn't trigger when you need it to.
-1 Venser's Journal ... also amazing, but too conditional for this build
-1 Ranger's Path ... all your ramp should be on turn 2
-1 Temple of the False God ... this card is almost never good
+1 Devoted Druid ... this card is a beast
+1 Talisman of Resilience ... #Ramp
+1 Llanowar Elves ... #Ramp... the elves enable Willowdusk combos on turn 3.
+1 Viridian Joiner ... #Ramp... #Combo
+1 Boompile ... its a gem (hint: don't tap it on your turn) +1 Nightmare Unmaking
+1 Killing Wave
+1 Massacre Girl ... #Wipe
+1 Beast Within ... #Removal
+1 Golgari Charm ... #Evasion
~1 Rancor ... Trample and haste are important... #Evasion
~1 Destined ... the choices are really good.
+1 Soul Channeling ... #Combo with Willowbark and stick to the board...
~1 Phyrexian Processor ... fun?
~1 Lurking Evil ... maybe?
~1 Solidarity of Heroes ... #Combo
~1 Ooze Flux ... tokens at instant speed?
~1 Retribution of the Ancients ... removal?
+1 Thought Gorger ... (leaves)
+1 Return of the Wildspeaker ... #Draw
+1 Triskelion ... #Combo
+1 Nighthawk Scavenger ... #Fatty
...Always play at least 10 ramp spells under 3 cmc.
...Playtest and make sure Willowbark consistently makes a fatty (with evasion) before turn 6-7.
Here's another Willowdusk thread.
Happy building :)

Enchanting counters

king-saproling Thank you very much! For now I put in Good-Fortune Unicorn , Conclave Mentor , Sadistic Glee and Hamza, Guardian of Arashin . And I put Cathars' Crusade on my maybe board, because I think it is really cool, but maybe a little bit too much mana for this deck. Also, Bloodspore Thrinax and Spike Feeder looked really cool, but I'm not sure if I can really use it, so therefore its on my maybe board too.

na na na na, hey hey, goodbye(overwhelming tokens)
3 months ago
Hi! Thanks for the upvote.
A few suggestions:
Overwhelming Stampede
rather than
Overcome
; Sure your deck has many weenies, but by the time you're gonna want a 5 cmc mass trample for the win, you'll probably have something with larger than 2 power out.
Rule of Law
is great for multiplayer, but
Curse of Exhaustion
might fit if you're gearing the deck for 1v1. If you are going for multiplayer, then
Kismet
works great at slowing opponents down without impacting yourself.
With the amount of PWs in the deck,
Ignite the Beacon
and
Oath of Ajani
might be worthwhile.
Phyrexian Rebirth
could be a good board wipe, especially if you have crazy token amounts. Especially funny if you can combo it with
Fresh Meat
. Also funny with
Requiem Angel
out - a card worth including on its own, especially if you end up juggling your own tokens for other things.
Hardened Scales
,
Gavony Township
, and
Bloodspore Thrinax
, could play nice with the +1/+1 subtheme.
Ashnod's Altar
is great for utilizing creature tokens to get more things out.
Tireless Tracker
might help with card draw later and gets some counters on its own.
The deck comp is pretty balanced, so
Traverse the Ulvenwald
might be effective.
Congregation at Dawn
and
Chord of Calling
are other tutor options if you find that the deck is more successful with particular creatures out.
I love swapping weaker tokens with
Emrakul's Evangel
(another fun fresh meat combo play). Of course, there is always
Divine Visitation
as well.
It's easy to go overboard on doublers, but I figured I'd give a shout out to
Primal Vigor
and
Second Harvest
.
Swords to Plowshares
for
Pacifism
; might be better in some scenarios and always allows you to target your own creature to get some life out of it if you need to or if you go for the lifegain route.
Speaking of the lifegain route, if you want to go for it, here's some things that could work well:
Phantom Nishoba
,
Wall of Reverence
,
Cradle of Vitality
,
Fumigate
,
Congregate
,
Blighted Steppe
,
Blossoming Sands
,
Gingerbread Cabin
,
Radiant Fountain
,
Graypelt Refuge
,
Kabira Crossroads
,
High Market
, and
Phyrexian Processor
. The land balance will need to be played with if you want to swap the basics for some of those. Also, most Ajani PWs will work well for a more lifegain focused deck.
Now, when I think token generation, I think artifacts for many things.
Thopter Assembly
,
Genesis Chamber
, and
Summoning Station
come to mind. If you end up with more artifact tokens, you can use them with things like
Krark-Clan Ironworks
and
Kuldotha Forgemaster
. Also help with things like
Dispatch
.
Annnnnd one more suggestion if I haven't overstayed my welcome. Funny things can happen in token decks that put out a lot of creatures when you play
The Great Aurora
. Usually gives you a much stronger board state than opponents - might want to have a safety
Reliquary Tower
in for that hand size though!
Sorry if I doubled up on anything you had already considered!

The Beast | Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider | [Primer]
3 months ago
+1 my dude! @your reddit post,
More lands imo. Also more big ramp... seems like Vorinclex is a big target for removal, so ramping up to 15+ mana a turn seems like the way to go.
I think the biggest problem is that you're splitting themes and trying to jam infect. A lot of seemingly powerful cards don't have synergy with the rest of the deck. Only ~12 cards directly create +1/+1 counters. So (eg.) Hardened Scales really does nothing.
...Cut incidental Infect:
-1Viridian Corrupter, -1Spinebiter
-1Phyrexian Swarmlord... I love this card but, even when you're all in on infect it isn't that good...
(I think the other infect cards with 5+ power as soft, 2-card combos with your commmander are viable).
...Cut fatties with no evasion:
-1Renata, Called to the Hunt... if you're interested in playing "go-wide + pump" this could be good, but not better than Bloodspore Thrinax
-1Rampaging Baloths... incidental 4/4s aren't worthwhile
-1Crowned Ceratok... +1Champion of Lambholt
-1Ulvenwald Hydra... no synergy
-1Primordial Hydra... +1Managorger Hydra
When choosing cards ask yourself: (1) Does it work with my commander? (2) Does it work with my theme? (3) Is it strong enough with no synergy to play 1v3? (eg. Rampant Growth, Sylvan Library, etc.)
Happy brewing!

Hey Bobs_Army & Elasar99 (great name btw!), thanks a lot for your input! I really appreciate it.
As for The Great Henge, The Ozolith, Heroic Intervention, Hardened Scales, Doubling Season, Branching Evolution and so many other spicey - yet pricey - cards, please keep the description of the deck in mind. This deck is going to be a budget build to be an entry in a Secret Santa type thing. My playgroups' gentleman's agreement is ~30,00€/$40.00 maximum - plus cards that sit in our binders which we don't mind giving away.
Also, the deck's supposed to be played in a low powered pod, which we would score 3-4/10 by our metrics. The easiest way to do that is have most cards either fit the counters theme or one of the subthemes such as fighting instead of being generically good. Meaning, cards like Inspiring Call and Sporeback Troll fit a lot better than Heroic Intervention, Wrap in Vigor, Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots and the likes.
I still have Tuskguard Captain and Bramblewood Paragon in a box somewhere. I might add them as extras. For the moment i think Champion of Lambholt, Gnarlid Colony and Pridemalkin should be plenty to enable hits.
I'm quite sure Longshot Squad is one of those boxes, too. It'll have to be an extra for now, since i won't know if the deck's even facing flyers until all Secret Santas are revealed. Nice catch though!
Hydra's Growth and Increasing Savagery have been on my mind as well, yet they fit Mowu, Loyal Companion so much better than the other interchangable commanders. Going wide and wild with counters is a lot more entertaining than just going big. Same goes for Managorger Hydra. Sure it's straight forward, but something like Forgotten Ancient can enable a variety of things - at half the price.
As for Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig, there are only so few creatures that would trigger his second ability reliably at the moment: Bloodspore Thrinax, Renata, Called to the Hunt, Verdurous Gearhulk and Vigor. If i would be looking for creatures that do something similar to his first ability i'd propably consider Ivy Lane Denizen for its flexibility instead.
Anyhow, thanks again for your kind words and suggestions!
ps. MapPsycho thanks for your flattering words as well! :)

Now that I added Bloodspore Thrinax I want to put Kessig Cagebreakers in this deck to maximize the synergies (wipe my non-token creatures board, have a lot of tokens on Bloodspore Thrinax and a cemetery full, for Kessig Cagebreaker, it Works the other way around too, but slightly slower, but it can be repeated with basic reanimation for more chaos)
