CommanderNeyo on The Ultimate Warriors (Updated)

1 month ago

I love Mardu! My favorite deck plays a lot like this one.

Below are some of my recommendations, but I would mostly recommend you check out the CommandZone on Youtube - they have a deckbuilding guide that is very good. Also, for some ideas on cards, you can check out EDHREC, which is a database for deckbuilding.

Anywho, here are some of my recommendations:

== ADD ==

Isshin, Two Heavens as One and Windcrag Siege double all your attack triggers.

Alesha, Who Smiles at Death and Terra, Herald of Hope if you face a lot of removal.

Swords to Plowshares, Damn, Blasphemous Act, and Ruinous Ultimatum for removal.

Boros Charm for protection.

Voice of Victory, Bone-Cairn Butcher, Infantry Shield, and Dalkovan Packbeasts for more Warrior tokens.

Hardened Tactician, Raiders' Spoils, Mindblade Render, Skullclamp, and Zurgo Stormrender for card draw.

Professional Face-Breaker for ramp and card advantage. Boros Signet, Orzhov Signet, Rakdos Signet, Talisman of Conviction, Talisman of Hierarchy, and Talisman of Indulgence for more ramp.

Shared Animosity, Fiery Emancipation, and City on Fire for buffs.

Reconnaissance to remove any creature your opponent blocks so it won't die, and Redoubled Stormsinger to double your tokens.

33 Lands is very low, especially since you have so little card draw and a high average cmc of 2.67. I recommend at least 38, if not 40 - you generally want to be playing a land every turn for the first 5 turns.

== CUT ==

Here are some cards I recommend cutting:

Aeronaut's Wings, Colossus Hammer, Greatsword of Tyr, Inquisitorial Rosette, Mardu Monument, Team Pennant, Amazing Alliance, Cartouche of Solidarity, Rally the Ranks, Shared Triumph, War Effort - Most of these provide modest buffs or require too much mana to use in one go. Most equipment are better in dedicated equipment builds, while Zurgo is generally more about going wide. If you do want to play equipment, I would recommend ones that provide utility (like Sword of the Animist, which you already have) or provide large buffs (like Blackblade Reforged). Cards that only buff your damage by 1 are generally underpowered.

Chromatic Lantern, Commander's Sphere - Your commander is 3-mana, so it is nice to have 2-mana ramp so you can still play your commander on curve.

Diabolic Tutor and Mastermind's Acquisition are a lot of mana for a tutor, and I would generally recommend cutting them.

Anywho, that's a lot, but let me know if any of it was helpful!

Crow_Umbra on Fire Lord Zuko, Honorable Exile

3 months ago

Hey there, glad to see that Fire Lord Zuko is finally on the site. I recently started brewing him up over on Moxfield, but I shifted focus to some of my decks I have IRL.

In some of my initial brain storming with Zuko, I chose to mostly focus on some primary themes that have some overlap: Playing cards from exile via Impulse draw (which you have), Blinking creatures for repeated ETB effects (which you have some already), and lastly focusing mostly on Ally creatures since many of them have ETB effects when they or other Allies enter.

Given that the ATLA set is going to focus pretty heavily on the Ally creature type, and Zuko himself has that as one of his types, I think Blinking to reuse Ally ETBs will eventually be what really fleshes this deck out. This is also party of why I'm waiting a bit longer to brew the deck more.

In terms of what you have for your deck, I would generally suggest focusing most of your deck edits in the 4 cmc and above range. You are pretty heavy on 5 drops especially, but don't really have a lot of ramp to help get you there. On this note, I'd recommend swapping out your two zero-drop Suspend rocks with some more "meat and potatoes" stuff like Talisman of Hierarchy and the others in Mardu colors, or Boros Signet, depending on your preference.

If you're interested, I can link you my deck on Moxfield if you'd like to check it out. I haven't written a primer for it yet, and it's still fairly early in development.

NV_1980 on Kaalia of the Waifu

Honestly I don't think I've ever seen a Kaalia deck quite like this one.

Some general notes: The deck could really do with some additional mana-sources aside from your lands to make it a bit quicker. I tried to play-test it ten times or so and each time, I couldn't do anything meaningful until turn 3 or 4 at the earliest. Stuff like the signets (Arcane Signet, Boros Signet, Orzhov Signet, Rakdos Signet and/or maybe the talismans (Talisman of Conviction, Talisman of Hierarchy, Talisman of Indulgence could all be of tremendous value in this regard.

Then there's draw. Right now the deck contains maybe 1 or 2 actual draw resources. You also have 5 or 6 tutors; most of which I presume are meant to find you your combo pieces. I see you have blink options in here too, which allows you to reuse some of your tutors, which is nice. However, most EDH decks contain at least 10 or so card-advantage options to keep things moving along steadily during games. For this deck, I'd recommend CA-options like Bloodgift Demon, Dark Confidant, Harvester of Souls, Phyrexian Arena and/or Rakdos, Patron of Chaos. I can think of more, but these are quite expensive (money-wise) and considering the deck's current budget, those might not be suitable.

Hope this brew works for you, good luck!

Another budget friendly option to think about could be Boros Signet instead of 4 of your lands since 20 lands with extra castable mana generation can help sometimes.

Azoth2099 on Kykar kicks ass (Suggestions needed!) (Budget)

1 year ago

Hey man! As someone who's brewed this one alot, I'm telling you right now you need waaay more mana rocks. Literally like 10+ rocks, plus a few rituals. The fact that they also generate a token is incredible in practice. Here's a list of the ones I'd include on top of what you already have: Fellwar Stone, Talisman of Progress, Izzet Signet, Boros Signet, Azorius Signet, Springleaf Drum, Jeweled Amulet, Lotus Petal, Pyretic Ritual, Desperate Ritual, Seething Song & Battle Hymn.

Also just so you know, Mystical Tutor, Personal Tutor, Enlightened Tutor & Gamble are all super cheap right now due to recent reprints! Gotta get it while the getting is good, ya know?

A great combo here is Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal, it generates infinite Spirit tokens on top of just being great individual utility pieces for the build outside of the combo!

Lots of great, cheap synergy pieces like Wild Research, Kindred Discovery, Opposition, Vicious Shadows, etc...

I'll stop rambling now, great Commander choice dude! Let me know how you feel about my mediocre suggestions lol.

DemonDragonJ on "Wake Up, Wasteland! It's Me, Three Dog!"

I like this deck, but I do have several suggestions or questions:

Have you considered putting Celestial Mantle in this deck, or is that aura too expensive?

Would you consider Commander's Sphere or Chromatic Lantern over Boros Signet, or are you seeking to keep the mana curve of this deck low?

Are you certain that you can reliably cast all of your spells with only 32 lands, and, on that subject, would you consider putting Clifftop Retreat into this deck?

Crow_Umbra on Battle Buddies

Hi there, I saw your comment on the feed and thought I'd offer some suggestions on potential cuts. Some thoughts from looking over your deck:

• First off, I think it's great that you have something like Insurrection as a top end finisher. Having played against some goad decks in my play groups ( mostly Kardur, Doomscourge), they can have trouble closing out games.

• Your 4 drop slot seems pretty crowded and I think where you could focus some of your cuts. I think some of the cuts can eventually get turned into a couple more 2cmc rocks to help you ramp. If anything, you could probably swap 2-3 of your land slots for a couple more rocks like Talisman of Conviction, Boros Signet, Mind Stone, and maybe Cursed Mirror to copy a valuable creature.

• Speaking of lands, I think if you stay heavy on the Enchantments, it'd be worth it to run Hall of Heliod's Generosity and maybe a few other utility lands like War Room, Minas Tirith, Scavenger Grounds, and Volatile Fault. Land destruction beyond Generous Gift/Beast Within isn't super common in most play groups. You could probably swap a few of your basics for some of these.

• Goblin Diplomats might be more trouble than its worth, since your opponents can still attack you. This could maybe get swapped with Grenzo, Havoc Raiser

• I think Fumiko can be a potential cut, mostly because she forces your opponents to attack, but not necessarily to attack each other like Goad might.

• Firemane Commando as a removal option seems kinda clunky. You could maybe swap her for something like Soul Partition, which can be a protective effect or removal.

• Mangara might be a potential cut, but I think this is more of a meta dependent call. I played him in a really early iteration of my Isshin deck, and oftentimes my opponents would remove him or play around his abilities by sending their 1 biggest and/or most evasive creature at me.

• You can maybe swap Agitator Ant with Nils, Discipline Enforcer, since you have control over the counter distribution, and he also punishes the utilization of any counters on your opponents' creatures.

• Assemble the Legion could be a potential cut, as it seems kinda slow for the payoff.

If you're interested, I theory-crafted a Nelly Borca deck that is trying to do what you want to do with this deck. I doubt I'll ever put it together, but it could be helpful to compare notes with. We definitely have some core similarities, but I think I lean a bit more into aggro elements for the deck to fall back to as a finisher, or if the Goad options aren't online. Check out The Slander Commander if you'd like.
