griffstick on What are the best defensive …

Everdawn Champion and Seraph of the Sword seem like perfect blockers. Other cards like Hundred-Handed One and Watcher in the Web . Also theres cards like High Ground and Brave the Sands help out big time as well. Someone mentioned Stuffy Doll I think that's a great one. Someone mentioned Guardian of the Gateless that card and all the cards that allow you to block multiple creatures go great with Godsend . Theres so many great blockers. Someone mentioned Ophiomancer , that's a fantastic suggestion.

Crow-Umbra on Alesha, No Idea

Alesha is also one of my favorite commanders, and one I've spent a lot of time tinkering on. I think your list as you have it now has a lot of similarities to the list I had about a year ago. Here are some additional suggestions for your consideration:

• Valakut Exploration --> Outpost Siege - Valakut Exploration hits on land fall, but the cards it exiles eventually hit your grave yard and don't get stranded in exile.

• Slaughter the Strong --> Crackling Doom - Slaughter the Strong has an easier cmc to cast, and it can hit bigger boards, instead of just one big creature.

• Grasp of Fate --> Oblivion Ring If you can, try to make sure your removal pieces can hit the whole table when possible.

• Reconnaissance or Ghostly Prison or Authority of the Consuls or Dolmen Gate or Blind Obedience --> Brave the Sands - Reconnaissance can be especially helpful when attacking with Alesha and using her ability, since you can remove her and the reanimated creature from combat. The other enchantments mentioned are also helpful for putting up some defense, and putting your opponents at some kind of pacing or taxing disadvantage. Dolmen Gate is also helpful in a similar vein of Reconnaissance.

I hope this feedback is helpful. No worries if these suggestions don't line up with your budget or what your playgroup is cool with.

Metroid_Hybrid on Mardu Humans and their Cat

Your deck seems a little unfocused. For example, you're running Stoneforge Mystic (a non-Human btw), but not enough bomb Equipment to take advantage of her value.. Also, it's hard to tell exactly how you plan on winning in face of a stalled boardstate (outside of Odric).

I suggest dropping the Aristocrat stuff from the 98 (but keep the Xathrid Necromancer ), as well as a boardwipe or two, and replacing them with some fun (Voltron) toys for Kitty.. One equipment in particular is Vorrac Battlehorns , as it renders creatures with Menace effectively unblockable..

On the Tribal side of things, Champion of the Parish & Gallows at Willow Hill are worth considering. Brave the Sands is a thing. And finally, since you're a Mardu deck that likes to go wide, you may really appreciate Fervent Charge . Pair that with repeat combat effects (ex. Aggravated Assault ) for maximum value

Might swap out the Crawlspace and try Brave the Sands — fulfil's a similar function by giving walls vigilance and allowing them to block extra targets. Plus, it can be tutored with Muddle the Mixture if needed. Not as "on-theme" however.

Ocelot44 on Ruhan Shenanigans

I really enjoy what you've built here! Ruhan was one of the first commanders I ever built, and I love him so much. I just recently realized how good Burning Anger is with Ruhan because it lets you choose where his damage is going if you don't care about commander damage. It also works extremely well if he has vigilance due to something like Brave the Sands or Haunted Cloak .

Also come on, if you're playing Willbender, you GOTTA play Zoetic Cavern ! :p

TheVectornaut on The Battalion - Soldier Tribal Deck

Preeminent Captain is a strong soldier staple since it can get in big threats like Captain of the Watch early. Odric, Lunarch Marshal could be one of those threats seeing as you have so much first strike and vigilance naturally. That could free up slots since he'd make Archetype of Courage and Brave the Sands potentially redundant. If you do go that route, some useful inclusions might be Aerial Responder , Fencing Ace , Adanto Vanguard , and Kytheon, Hero of Akros  ^Flip. Otherwise, Brimaz, King of Oreskos is a very efficient soldier, if a bit pricey, with some degree of lore connection to Elspeth. Finally, I'd probably include at least a singleton copy of Sunlit Hoplite for your walker to grab. It's not a remarkable creature, but then, Elspeth, Undaunted Hero isn't a remarkable planeswalker when compared to Elspeth, Knight-Errant or Elspeth, Sun's Champion . You may as well at least have the flexibility of recurring a Hoplite when your board state has been diminished and you don't have the luxury of going for the ultimate.
