Having completed my quest to play all 52 of my decks, I decided to try getting a win with all of my decks.

Aug 30

Now helmed by Kess, Dissident Mage: another long game. I Cyclonic RiftGCed after Tiff's Cleansing Nova killed Blaine's huge lizard army. That was enough to win the game, getting the first w for my losers' bracket decks,1-4

This is a really neat and tidy deck right there! I am thinking of steering a rather aggro deck to this template. I hope you don't mind a few questions Do you feel like the indestructible tap-lands slow you down to much in aggressive match-ups? Also, which would you play if you only accommodate for 4 cards: Ensoul Artifact or Rise and Shine? Have you thought of a few copies of Cleansing Nova or Cease / Desist against artifact or enchantment heavy decks? Cease / Desist cantrips and helps you slow graveyard strats without taking a spot in your sideboard. Upvoted!

If your budget allows, consider those swaps:

• Terminate -> Soul Shatter (gets around indestructible and hexproof)
• Mortify -> Anguished Unmaking
• Fracture -> Rakdos Charm (good against graveyard, artifact and token decks)

If you're willing to streamline your creatures to be all Samurai, these are some good picks:

• Kindred Dominance
• And They Shall Know No Fear

Also, Mythos of Snapdax and Cleansing Nova stumble on your many artifacts. Consider those swaps:

• Cleansing Nova -> Merciless Eviction
• Mythos of Snapdax -> Patrician's Scorn (it is even free if you use alongside one of your many {W} instants)

griffstick on Which Mass Destruction Spell(s) Should …

I think the board wipes that hit early at a low cost are best here. Also board wipes that make the creatures deal damage to them selves. Since Gisela, Blade of Goldnight splits it in half on your stuff, it will not kill your creatures, additionally it doubles the damage your opponents creatures would deal to them selves.

Some of the board wipes I recommend are

• Day of Judgment
• Hour of Revelation

When paired with your cmdr

• Solar Blaze
• Wave of Reckoning

Other good ones when paired with your cmdr

• Incendiary Command
• Brotherhood's End
• Hour of Devastation
• Reckless Endeavor

Moving on to other good wipes, and noncreature wipes, and choice wipes.

• Austere Command
• Cleansing Nova
• Farewell
• Tragic Arrogance
• Dismantling Wave

Farewell Ruinous Ultimatum and Cleansing Nova are ones I use all the time

My super secret tech is Forsaken City

Council's Judgment one of the best removal spells in the game

Detention Sphere and Grasp of Fate the enchantment versions.

Farewell > Cleansing Nova

I would highly recommend Calamity Bearer, since it doubles the damage of all your giants and works very well with Kalemne's Double Strike.

I also would suggest you look into Boros Signet and Talisman of Conviction, as they are very helpful at securing your colors. I would consider them over the diamonds and Star Compass.

For removal, I would consider looking into Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Wear / Tear, and Cleansing Nova or Day of Judgment. Cheap removal allows you to continue to play the cards you want to, without having to decide between removing an opponent's threat or playing your own. Also, since your creatures have fairly high mana-costs, you can easily hold a board wipe in hand, wait for your opponents to play all their creatures, then remove them in one fell swoop before playing your own threats.

Lastly, Kalemne is actually a woman... I also thought she was a guy when I first saw her.

RiotRunner789 on Lands vs Enchantments

3 years ago

Any commander with green and white could do with green being more important for mass enchantment removal.

Cards to consider: Aura of Silence, Bane of Progress, Aura Shards, Aura Mutation, Allay, Aura Blast, Farewell, Austere Command, Back to Nature, Calming Verse, Cleansing Nova, Heliod's Intervention and Cleanfall.

If course the best enchantment removal is Disenchant.
