Profet93 Alright. Let's do this.

Jeska's Will , Hanweir Battlements  ^Flip, and War Room are in the list. War Room in specific has become a favourite of mine.

I have steadily become averse to the slow Myriad Landscape , thence have excluded it from all lists.

I mislike spells blatantly designed for Commander, starting with the free cycle of spells from Ikoria. Deflecting Swat is thus ignored.

Blast Zone was considered, but I need a high amount of Mountains to actually cast my spells. The current swath of utility lands I have has worked out well.

Tectonic Edge is one I should add. I own a Gaea's Cradle and know all the power it imposes.

Finally is Champion's Helm , which does not work as you would think. Hexproof is not functional with Diaochan , for she targets herself, meaning that I control the ability maugre it being my opponent's choice. Thus, Whispersilk Cloak .

Thus is all.

Fair enough, I kind of figured as much but wanted to run them by you just in case. Thank you for discussing each reason for each card :) Do you have a budget per card? Any reason why you are running all basics and no valakut or atleast some minor nonbasics?

Jeska's Will - Value town

Hanweir Battlements  ^Flip - Haste for commander, politics (if you're into that), etc...

War Room - Draw

Deflecting Swat - Counter counterspells, redirect targetted draw, extra turns, removal, discard, etc... the utility!

The land that can make your dude a G-d and then if you sac it, you get an indestrucible counter. It came out in the last year, forgot the name as I haven't been up to date since March 2020. Can be helpful as a means of protecting your commander

Champion's Helm > Whispersilk cloak - I take it you aren't attacking with your commander nor the remainder of your creatures

Myriad Landscape - Ramp

Strip Mine / Wasteland / Field of Ruin / Tectonic Edge /Any similar card - Deal with cradle, coffers, urborg, field, etc.... meta call, but these lands are prevalent in my meta.

Blast Zone - Interact with enchantments/others. A bit expensive mana wise, but worth a look at if you have troubleseome enchantments in the meta

Omniscience_is_life thank you for the suggestions. Sword of Vengeance isn't the best weapon in Balan's arsenal, but those key words aren't the least relevant. Vigilance for blocking, trample for getting through blockers, and haste so she can go to town the turn she lands. Add to that a +2 power boost and it's not too shabby. I do like Infiltration Lens , but tbh it doesn't offer a power boost and I'm trying everything in my power to get Balan through unblocked lol. I do actually have Cartographer's Hawk , Verge Rangers , Burnished Hart , Endless Horizons and a few other rampy dudes in my list of considerations. Tbh though, blackblade puts in some real work, it only ever needs to get to +8/+8 but even at +5/+5 I'm only 2 away from lethal. I know my land is much lower than it needs to be, but that's why I pay close attention to the average cmc of the deck, it's currently sitting at a comfortable 2.18, which is probably going to get lower once i cut Batterskull (something of a pet card lol). I'm definitely investing in an Ancient Tomb asap, as well as a Conqueror's Flail , Champion's Helm , Sword of Sinew and Steel , as well as a few other things to help get the deck to it's highest potential. I'm even looking at some of the mdfc lands to help spice it up

Alright heres my main tips. First cut the creatures that dont matter, thats going to be swiftspear, and segovian angel. Next I dont really love being in on Auras. One removal spell and they all go away so, I believe that sentinel eyes and dragon mantle are going to be underwhelming, cut battlemastery. While its good, you can get more permanent sources of double strike from things like duelist heritage, bloodmist or True Conviction .

I think you are going to want 2-3 extra combat cards. Pick the ones that you have access to. Aurelia is the best, and Waves of Aggression and Aggravated Assault combo with sword of feast and famine. You are going to want a mask of memory, and probably a tome of legends, and because Tome of Legends , likely a Manifold Key . Finally you are going to want more things that put size and abilities on Rograkh. Thats going to be as many swords of X and Y as you have, with Sinew and Steel being the next best in line and dont forget about sword of DnD. I would get a Citadel Siege in the deck somewhere as another way to add more size. Other good equipment are Champion's Helm and Hammer of Nazahn , Maul of the Skyclaves , Loxodon Warhammer , Embercleave , Sword of Vengeance . A few value equipments you are missing are the alreayd mentioned, Mask of Memory , Dowsing Dagger  ^Flip, Explorer's Scope .

Once you get the equipment figured out, you'll want to get a bit more removal. 10-12 pieces for midpower metas and 13-15 for high power is usually about right. Volcanic Offering is a great piece, blasphemous act especially if you load up on red swords. Heliod's Intervention and Dismantling Wave are great artifacts and enchantments, Chandra's Ignition could be another nice 1 sided board wipe.

Since this is partner deck dont be afraid to go lower on the creature count. YOu have 2 in the command zone, so you could safely go down around 15 creatures or so. Good luck!

Looks fun. I disagree with the other commenters regarding draw/recovery. I think that these partners are best played as a glass-cannon, all or nothing, win early or bust strategy. This is just my 2 cents but I would make the following swaps:

Impulsive Pilferer -> Skirk Prospector. T1 Prospector = T2 Jeska!

Arcane Signet -> Simian Spirit Guide

Lightning Bolt -> Rite of Flame

Chandra, Torch of Defiance -> Lotus Petal

Leyline Tyrant -> Seize the Day

Trailblazer's Boots -> Dust Corona

Solemn Simulacrum -> Treasonous Ogre

Loyal Apprentice -> Inquisitor's Flail

Fireblade Charger -> Smoke

Champion of the Flame -> Neheb, the Eternal

Monastery Swiftspear -> Captive Flame

Koth of the Hammer -> Relentless Assault

Ruby Medallion -> Dockside Extortionist

Ring of Valkas -> Relic Axe

Whispersilk Cloak -> Champion's Helm. Rograkh having shroud could be problematic for you.

Lightning Greaves -> Taste for Mayhem

great deck. But you need some protection against removal/boardwipes as they are extremely common in commander. maybe.. Champion's Helm, Neurok Stealthsuit, Swiftfoot Boots, Blossoming Defense, Heroic Intervention, Fierce Guardianship just to name a few.
