Vulnoth on Equestrian Friendship Initiative

Suggestions:

• Ash Barrens, Evolving Wilds, and Terramorphic Expanse with Command Tower, Command Power Plant, and Command Mine. 3 land swap to replace land consistency with mana flexibility.
• the 10 Ravnica signets with: Reliquary Tower, Reflecting Pool, Path of Ancestry, The World Tree, Second City, Exotic Orchard, Reflective Gate, Commander's Sphere, Vexing Puzzlebox, and Guided Passage. 10 artifacts for 7 lands, 2 artifacts, and 1 sorcery [10 total]. This reduces rate of low/no-land hands while still offering mana flexibility and other utility.
• 2 of each basic land for the OG duals: Savannah, Scrubland, Taiga, Bayou, Underground Sea, Plateau, Tundra, Tropical Island, Volcanic Island, Badlands. This increases consistency in mana flexibility.
• Kibo, Uktabi Prince with Yes Man, Personal Securitron. Direct group hugging that ultimately rewards you when Yes dies.
• Harrow with The Ring Goes South. Due to the high density of Legends, this will simply net more lands.
• Tempt with Mayhem with Brass's Tunnel-Grinder. This replaces a situational spell with a short-term hand filter that turns into a value engine land after transforming.
• Skyscribing with Choice of Fortunes. This swaps a costly recurring draw/big draw spell with a draw 2 that also grands infinite hand size.
• Noble Heritage with Noble Benefactor. This trades a temperamental protection for an easily activated tutor.
• Caged Sun with Chromatic Orrery. Caged Sun does not well benefit 5color decks, while Orrery perfectly mana fixes while flexing as a draw engine if necessary.
• Well of Knowledge for Dictate of Kruphix. Kruphix does it for free. Benevolent Offering for Selvala, Explorer Returned. Lower impact but Selvala is stable resource generation plus mana and life.
• Fact or Fiction with Defense of the Heart. Unfortunately FoF is a one-shot injection of cards while Defense pulls creatures of your choice to better toolbox situations.
• Alliance of Arms, The Second Doctor, and Acorn Catapult with Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, and Norn's Annex. Pillow forting a little always helps.
• Plated Pegasus with Wheel of Fortune. Spell damage is less common than abilities, so better replace it with a hand refill.

Try these out.

DemonDragonJ on Should I Keep Basalt Monolith …

7 months ago

I believe that 40 creatures is more than sufficient for that deck, so what if I reinstated one of the mana rocks that I removed from it, such as either Chromatic Lantern or Commander's Sphere?

DemonDragonJ on Don't Blink, or You'll Miss It!

I have replaced Chromatic Lantern and Commander's Sphere with Dryad of the Ilysian Grove and Enduring Vitality, as this deck has a strong emphasis on creatures.

Should I keep Basalt Monolith in this deck? I put it in this deck specifically to combo with Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy, but how likely is it that I shall draw both of those cards in the same game?

I have reinstated Commander's Sphere in this deck, replacing Mind Stone, which slightly increased the average converted mana cost of this deck from 4.02 to 4.03, but that is still lower than what it previously was.

I have reinstated Commander's Sphere in this deck, replacing Mind Stone, which slightly increased the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.56 to 3.58, but that is still lower than what it previously was.

I have replaced Aura ShardsGC and Commander's Sphere with Hopeful Initiate and Kami of Whispered Hopes, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.60 to 3.56, since the enchantment was simply too oppressive, and the newer cards work well with this deck's theme of +1/+1 counters.

I have replaced Aura ShardsGC and Commander's Sphere with Hopeful Initiate and Kami of Whispered Hopes, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 4.05 to 4.02, since the enchantment was simply too oppressive, and the newer cards work with this deck's theme of +1/+1 counters.

SaberTech on Mana Rocks or Mana Dorks?

10 months ago

DemonDragonJ, Looking at your Mimeoplasm deck I don't think that the sacrifice theme is heavy enough to want to put a bunch of mana dorks in for potential fodder. That being said, Devoted Druid is pretty good in Mimeoplasm in general and could potentially replace Commander's Sphere.

Mana dorks could have more synergy in Kresh since it has far more sacrifice effects. Looking through your list, I don't think that it has an overabundance of draw power that would make the "unlimited hand size" effect worth running a 3cmc rock like Decanter of Endless Water. I could see that being swapped out for Ignoble Hierarch.

The sacrifice theme in Teneb also looks only mildly supported, so I don't think that you get real solid advantages out of running mana dorks on that basis. You do have some ability to throw around +1/+1 counters though, so a dork is a mana source that could be buffed for damage later. I think that Devoted Druid could replace Decanter of Endless Water in this one. You have a fair number of 4 and 5 drops that a turn 2 Devoted Druid could help you cast on turn 3, and the various counters and anthem effects would help you squeeze a bit more mana out of it.
