Azoth2099 on Green/Black toxic/proliferate need recommendations

Balvron Welcome back to the game! As I'm sure you know, a lot has changed.

So, my personal deck building philosophy these days is to decide how the deck is going to win with specific cards and work backwards from there, filling in the rest of the deck with the means to win with those specific cards (ramp, draw, tutors, etc.)

I'll get straight to the point, I think a better approach would be to use your access to 4 colors to quickly Tutor up gear for Atraxa, Praetors' Voice such as Phyresis, Grafted Exoskeleton and Swiftfoot Boots as the backbone of your infect strategy. Cards like Enlightened Tutor, Steelshaper's Gift & Open the Armory can help with that. There are also a lot of tutors in Black like Diabolic Tutor and Grim Tutor that can get you where you're trying to go.

I'd also Include a high density of mana dorks like Bloom Tender & Llanowar Elves since you're in Green. That, along with a decent number of mana rocks like Sol Ring & Arcane Signet will help you get your commander out in the early game, as well as allow you to cut down on lands to between 29-35, depending on the numbers.

Blue cantrips like Ponder, Brainstorm & Preordain are great. Enchantments or Artifacts like Dark Tutelage, Phyrexian Arena & Scroll Rack could also work here.

As for proliferation, I'd recommend cards like Flux Channeler, Inexorable Tide, Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus, Viral Drake & Thrummingbird. There are also control options like Serum Snare, Reject Imperfection & Brokers Confluence.

Strionic Resonator & Lithoform Engine might pass playtesting, but maybe not idk!

Cheers!

DrukenReaps on Alternate Ban List

Caerwyn A number of these things is why I'm just spitballing the idea of this here. Obviously Falling Star and Chaos Orb need to be on my list and they aren't xD There are cards which just don't belong in a game like this. Looking at you Ante...

For Coalition Victory I see little reason for confusion over it referencing a creature's colors rather than identity. We have many cards that reference color all over the place with Bloom Tender and Sisay, Weatherlight Captain to name a few. All the devotion gods. To add to that we also have cards referencing identity with Commander's Plate. These are cards which often see play and I've never once seen anyone confuse a card's colors with the card's color identity.

Iona in the 99 doesn't feel like any more of a major issue to me than Void Winnower. I've played with and against Void Winnower and it has the same result more often than not of Iona. Frankly Void Winnower can be meaner, since it always hits every opponent. There are a number of these hefty lock pieces that come down and then everyone at the table groans or people even concede. I played against Iona when she was legal and I do see with Painter's Servant she has even more potential. I just see other cards that are just as effective and "unfun" not banned.

Gidgetimer on Why Are Secret Lairs So …

5 months ago

DemonDragonJ I'm not going to go as far as RiotRunner789 did and say that all lairs are a deal to some degree. But it is pretty easy to get a deal by buying Lairs.

The first time I ever bought Lairs was for the Shockland bundle where you got 15 shocks (2 of each allied and 1 of each enemy) for $120. Even taking the cheapest printing of each, buying those Shocks would cost $188. A savings of 33%.

My next purchase was for the Special Guest: Jen Bartel and Phyrexian Praetors Complete ones. Bloom Tender has caught a reprint since then, so the Jen Bartel Lair is only worth $9 buying cheapest printings, though Lair printings are still worth $43 and at the time Bloom Tender by itself was a $44. Praetors cheapest printing is a total of $53. So I am still up $2 total and up $40 if you use the going rate of the printings I have.

Rhystic Study by itself still pays for the entire Arcane Lair. Which has a couple of other $5+ cards in it. There are many more examples of this. I buy Lairs when the EV is over the price or when the art is too good to ignore. Nothing against my LGS. I buy supplies from them and singles when they have ones I want. I buy at least 2 pre-release kits every set because pre-release runs into when I take my boy to go play commander, so we do that instead. But if there is a good value to be had I will get a Lair.

This isn't even factoring in the bonus cards. I have spent about $600 on lairs over the last 18 months and am up about $2000 in value because of some extraordinary luck and selling cards at the right time. And this includes taking losses on some Lairs because the artist series ones are often phenomenal.

Megalomania: I hadn't thought of Sanctum Weaver. It's not bad and is definitely better inside of combo with Freed from the Real. The big selling point for Bloom Tender though is that outside of combo, she often generates 3-4 mana per tap which equates to more card draw. Still, I'll add weaver to the maybe pile.

cPute on Wait for it ... Legendary Cascade!

I know about Derevi, Empyrial Tactician (I play cEDH Najeela deck based on Pongo's Najeela tempo), but this deck was supposed to be "casual". Yesterday's victory with Bloom Tender, Najeela, the Blade-Blossom, and Samut, Voice of Dissent was a coincidence. :-)

I am not sure if this deck would benefit from Derevi, Empyrial Tactician (other than the above mentioned combo).

Derevi, Empyrial Tactician can also combo with Bloom Tender, if you're interested in more infinite.

DawnsRayofLight on Muldrotha reanimator 2.0

8 months ago

It's expensive, but Jeweled Lotus is amazing in Muldrotha. You can fetch it with Urza's Saga and recur it.

Speaking of Sagas, they're amazing in muldrotha, I run The Cruelty of Gix, Binding the Old Gods, The Phasing of Zhalfir, Phyrexian Scriptures, and I am testing out The War in Heaven. Those probably would work better than Oblivion Stone.

38 lands is a bit high, you can probably get away with 34-35, even 33 if you're willing to invest in Mana Crypt and Mana Vault.

In my hands, Muldrotha has been running better as a combo cEDH list. I have tried to build it other ways and it was honestly either too slow or too samey to my Zegana and Miirym lists. I think combo would work better, Muldrotha loves self mill and that can act as a sort of turbo way to draw through your deck.

If you're wanting to stick to ramp, you're going to need to speed it up

A good ramp package I use in U/G and U/G/X lists, tweaked for Muldrotha:

1 drop: 1-3

Sol Ring

sometimes Birds of Paradise and other related mana guys

for Muldrotha: Expedition Map and Wayfarer's Bauble will do wonders

2 drop: ~6

Arcane Signet

Bloom Tender: I play this in almost every 3+ color list

Farseek

Three Visits

Nature's Lore

Muldrotha Specific: Sakura-Tribe Elder, Skull Prophet, Rootcoil Creeper

3 drop: 1-2

Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath: hilarious to recur every turn

Cultivate, Harrow, Springbloom Druid are all good too

You will also want some more heavier hitters up top, generally, in ramp heavy decks I will run anywhere from 8 to 15 (depending on how well I ramp). I want to be able to have a big finisher and keep them going in Ramp lists (you can see these 2 to see what I mean: Nature's Revenge (not recognized by brackets for some reason) and Baby Dwagon Ehhhhhh?, both are very powerful and keep the pressure up, I rarely have an issue with either too many big guys and not enough ramp.

Sire of Stagnation

Toxrill, the Corrosive

Koma, Cosmos Serpent

I've been loving the ancient dragons

The other Jin-Gitaxias is also pretty potent

Here is my list if it helps give any ideas to help yours: The Circle of Life

Note:

Massacre Girl= Primaris Eliminator

Noxious Gearhulk= Necron Deathmark

The Eldest Reborn = The War in Heaven

I don't think I have put the combos down in the description yet but I can explain them if you want to know. Hope this helps!
