• I gave the edge to Giver of Runes for having an additional toughness, and can also protect from colorless, which is a bit niche.

• I addressed this in the Draw & Tutor part of my primer:

"Imperial Recruiter - An excellent option for this deck, especially given the potential for repeat uses. Recruiter of the Guard could be another supplemental option to Imperial Recruiter. She would be able to tutor up 18/34 creatures, with some overlap with the 22/34 that Imperial Recruiter can tutor."

I gave the edge to Imperial Recruiter since it can grab options like Professional Face-Breaker, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Preston, the Vanisher, and Burakos, Party Leader.

• Hall of Heliod's Generosity is more so a contingency in case I recur any of my enchantments. It's niche, but I like it.

• I run Vault of the Archangel in my Mardu/Orzhov aggro decks, espcially if they have the Treasure support in the mid-game to threaten or actually use the activation. It's worked for me before.

Crow_Umbra on Suggestions for a precon commander …

I have a few recommendations for precons, based off my own experience playing upgraded versions of each of them. Although none of them are artifact based, I think they can serve as aggressive compliments to a deck which might be more durdley or combo-focused.

• The Nalia de'Arnise Party PreCon is a lot of fun. I've had the deck for almost two years now, but swapped to have Burakos, Party Leader/Folk Hero as the commanders. It's a decent precon out of the box and can be pretty strong if upgraded. The nice thing is that you're bound to get new Clerics, Rogues, Warriors, & Wizards each set, so the deck has a pretty long shelf life if you decide to upgrade it.

• I'd also recommend the Ellivere of the Wild Court precon. The deck plays fairly aggro and has a solid core of the cards you'd want for most Selesnya adjacent Enchantress strats. Similar to the last precon, I currently play it with Gylwain, Casting Director as the commander, since I think he encourages more of a go-wide strategy, compared to typical Enchantress Voltron builds.

I've had a lot of fun playing Party shenanigans with Burakos, Party Leader. I'm excited for future Typal batchings like Party and Outlaws, as I'm not the biggest fan of single creature Type Kindred/Typal decks.

Lol yeah when I was reading your Vihaan primer, that part about repurposing Prosper resonated with me.

No prob Journeytodiscoverychannel, all good. I have a copy of Saw in Half, but haven't used it in any of my decks yet. My best friend has used it to great effect in a couple of his Aristocrats decks.

I also don't currently own this deck in paper. Definitely more of a concept brew in case I'd ever want to change things up & retire my Burakos, Party Leader/Folk Hero deck.

I honestly like Mastermind Plum more for Burakos, Party Leader than Prosper, as someone who plays both.

Generally excited for the Suspect mechanic. Very interested in Nelly & Agrus Kos. At face value, I like the potential flexibility for Suspect to help push damage through, or leave attacking lanes more open. Seems like that last little something that Goad decks might need once they get into 1v1 scenarios.

The Heroes of the Realm is a series of promo cards given to WotC employees. Here's a more concise gallery of past Heroes of the Realm cards on Scryfall, griffstick.

Not saying Harper Recruiter would be the defacto Commander for a "Wizard from Beyond" background deck, but would help smooth things out lol. Burakos, Party Leader has at least part of "Wizard from Beyond" lol

Burakos, Party Leader is such a fun commander. I really enjoy the flexibility of having all the party creature types already in the command zone. I have a suggestions if you're interested:

• If it's in your budget, I'd recommend adding Roaming Throne. It has some incredible flexibility in this deck, and will always work with Burakos.

• There is an infinite combo option that can fit pretty seamlessly into this deck. It utilizes Leonin Relic-Warder + Animate Dead + an aristocrat like Zulaport Cutthroat/Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim. I like this combo because Relic-Warder and the reanimation pieces can all work as separate pieces, and don't really feel like dead draws outside of the combo.

• Might be more of a meta dependent choice, but Assault Intercessor is one of my favorite Warrior options for the deck. Admittedly, I do encounter aristocrats strats in my meta often enough to play this.

• Kutzil's Flanker is another newer option with Flash and graveyard hate as some enticing options. Another more meta dependent choice.

• I'd recommend checking out Emergence Zone and Scout's Warning as means of playing creatures at instant speed. Most of the creatures in Burakos, Party Leader/Folk Hero decks tend to be fairly low to the ground. Helpful to get some additional cantrip-y draw on other players' turns.

I hope these suggestions are helpful. I'm down to chat through any others if you're open to it. Burakos/Folk Hero has a decent suite of creature options to fine-tune to different metas.

Yeah, Grixis Marchesa is a very future-proofed commander. +1/+1 counters & support pops up often enough in sets. I get the sense Isshin will stay fresh for a long while, especially since he can now be built in a handful of different, but overlapping archetypes.

I feel like Burakos, Party Leader is another future-proofed commander, since the Party creature types are sure to get a few printed each set. Definitely allows for tool-boxy & meta adjustable variants.
