Venum Thanks for taking a look! I liked Szarel, Genesis Shepherd when it was spoiled, but I really wanted another Lands deck, and this one was a ton of fun to build.

I thought about Juri, Master of the Revue, but I like the feeling of repeatedly cycling through my lands, and she feels more like a one-time bomb if she gets built up correctly.

Mayhem Devil is on my short-list if/when I make further changes.

I'm already running Braids, Arisen Nightmare, and that kinda fills a similar niche to Braids, Cabal Minion. Plus, I like the potential card draw from Braids, Arisen Nightmare. I'm finding that I run through cards in my hand real quick with this deck, since I can usually dump all my lands onto the field by turn 3.

I've been slowly building a Goad deck, and Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainerfoil is already one of the big pieces in that one. I don't think it would have a ton of synergy in this deck, but I'll definitely consider this.

Love the deck! I bought the pre-con and re-built it around Szarel, Genesis Shepherd because i had now experience with a landsac deck.
Obviously, Hearthhull, the Worldseed is a much better and faster option.

Here's some suggestion outside the box :

Juri, Master of the Revue since you're sacrificing a LOT, this creatures becomes HUGE fast, give you a great blocker and if someone wants to destroy it, they eat a lot of damage too.

Mayhem Devil is already in your maybeboard, I love it. since we're going for non-combat damage.

Braids, Cabal Minion is also great, slows down everyone while giving you a sac outlet for free.

Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainerfoil While goading is great for your own protection, the fact that it creates treasure token to keep your mana up while sacrificing all your lands is great.

I like your build!

Here's a couple suggestions if you're going with the sac land win : Solphim, Mayhem Dominus + Mayhem Devil for extra damage at every land sac.

I also like the combo where you boost Juri, Master of the Revue and then Fling it to possibly kill two opponents.

As for a free sac and slow your opponents, i feel like Braids, Cabal Minion is a good way to do so, especially if you can get it out early game with Dark Ritual

You're def on the right track KBK7101, since God-Eternal Bontu was included in the stock precon list (along with Korvold, Fae-Cursed King and The Gitrog Monster).

Bontu is solid for sure. I've used it in a couple of Aristocrats decks before. I'll reconsider it as I play-test more, especially if I feel like I need another pseudo-evasive beater.

I want to put this deck together in paper, but am weighing my options on picking up the last 7 cards I don't currently own:

I'm considering which proxy service is fastest, or maybe picking up a couple of the cards listed here, and swapping the other slots for cards I already own in the next accordion block:

These are all prime candidates for swaps, until I figure out how and which of the others to pick up:

Other candidates for consideration:

Personally, if we're going to have a whole bracket system, we may as well just unban everything that isn't an ante, conspiracy or is racist and set a minimum bracket for specific cards. Such as all cards currently banned means you can only play it in Bracket five while a card like Teferi's Protection can only be played in perhaps(?) no lower than bracket 3.

With that said I don't think there was a bad call the whole announcement. I know Y'all aren't happy about Coalition Victory. However, it's a spell with a mana cost of 8 and every color except Green has at least one counter spell with a mana value of 2 or less that can handle it. Not to mention the countless spells that cost one black mana to force a discard and there's cards like Naturalize to destroy Dryad of the Ilysian Grove or Leyline of the Guildpact(which some players won't be able to afford purchasing, anyways) as soon as Coalition Victory is cast.

While I don't ever see myself building a deck around Braids, Cabal Minion I can definitely see someday putting her in the Juri, Master of the Revue Deck I am currently building.

Because Sway of the Stars is now unbanned, it's not that difficult to win a game of Commander with Battle of Wits in it. One just needs to activate Spawnsire of Ulamog's 2nd activated ability to put a lotta Eldrazi on the battlefield, target Battle of Wits with Oblivion Ring or Detention Sphere, then cast Sway of the Stars for the win. Provided you can find a playgroup willing to tolerate a wish board of 103 or more cards.

May you draw well.

When I was first getting into Commander, I bought Braids, Cabal Minion out of a binder with the plan to make her a commander. I later found out she was banned by my playgroup.

Not actually happy she is unbanned. I'm probably going to build her now but it's going to be degenerate. Braids, Sol Ring, Dark Ritual, Ophiomancer, et cetera. It's going to work great 85% of the time and anger people 100% of the time. I'll then shelf the deck and bring it out once a year. I know I'll initially try to build her weaker but the end result in a known.

Coalition victory also seems unnecessary. The other unbans seem fine. Sway of the Stars might make it into my suspend deck. Mostly glad to hear no more change for the rest of the year.

With today's banned and restricted announcement, I have removed Braids, Cabal Minion, Coalition Victory, Gifts Ungiven, Panoptic Mirror, and Sway of the Stars from this list, and, as a side note, I do not at all agree with Braids being unbanned, since she was banned for a very good reason.

I think Aura Shards and Seedborn Muse belong on the GC list, as fun as they are to play with.

I also wonder if Braids, Cabal Minion might not be so bad, but I'm looking forward to playtesting it.
