Balaam__ on Behold A Great Red Dragon

Thanks for posting, BirdieGirlie. You’re right about Tiamat, but I wanted to include him anyway for literary/biblical/historical reference and because he happens to be a 7/7 flyer, which is nothing to scoff at. Sadly his ‘if you cast him’ text won’t trigger, but them’s the breaks.

And thanks for suggesting Cursed Mirror too. I’ll maybeboard that one, I just wish it was ever so slightly cheaper. {2}{R} is not quite as appealing as {1}{R} would have been:/

ALSO SORRY I officially suggest Cursed Mirror because you can have it enter as a copy of Minion of the Mighty and swing with it and then you can put down an extra dragon!!!

I don't think you should cut all of your Talismans for the creatures you listed, at the very least maybe just Loyal Warhound or Knight of the White Orchid. Although those creatures do "ramp" you, they do so more as a "catch up" to your opponent(s) that are ahead. I totally get wanting to make copies of them with Satya, but once you've caught up, they're just chump blockers. The Talismans are more or less guaranteed mana, barring artifact hate, compared to situational catch up ramp. If anything, I'd recommend adding Cursed Mirror, since Satya could copy it while it's a creature.

I do agree with cutting an island for Glasspool Mimic. Depending on your budget and upgrade intentions, I'd recommend getting some more clone effects, especially something like Spark Double, which eliminates Legend Rule restrictions for your copies. Those kinds of clones can get absurd with Satya. Cadric, Soul Kindler is also a more budget option for that type of effect.

Burning Sands > Rite of a Flame

Or replace with a niche rock like Cursed Mirror or Machine God's Effigy

Lightning Greaves > Whispersilk Cloak

Catastrophe swiss army knife. Might be better than Jokulhaups as you don't want to blow up your rocks.

You are running the three Surveil lands and Crucible but other than that there's no graveyard theme. My suggestion: Forbid > Counterspell

Thank you for checking out my deck CommanderMeanderer, I appreciate it. I hope the primer was informative, but I'm probably overdue for an update.

Cursed Mirror is a fun card that I try to play in my Red aligned decks whenever it makes most sense. I love its utility & flexibility.

Cursed Mirror is so cool for this deck, appreciate the primer in the description too :)

You don't have the dragons for Zirilans' best lines though. On a turn where you have Zirilan available, pass. Tutor a dragon in the end step of the player before you, so it will be in play during your turn. Get either Terror of the Peaks or Scourge of Valkas. On your own turn, tutor Utvara Hellkite. Trigger scourge or terror, deal damage.

Ideally then you want to copy Utvara Hellkite with Molten Duplication, Heat Shimmer, Twinflame, or Cursed Mirror. If you do, you get more attackers AND double the tokens. It's even better if you had a 4-cost dragon before putting out Zirilan.

Then attack with all your dragons. In the ideal case, you create 8 tokens (4 attacking dragons x2 utvara hellkites) Trigger scourge of valkas or Terror of the peaks for each token. For additional triggers, play Dragon Tempest. This will often kill everyone at the table, and leave you with 8x 6/6 dragons (48 power) if they are not dead.

Suppose Scourge of Valkas was your second dragon after some random 4 cost dragon. Its triggers deal 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12=77 damage from the triggers alone and you are attacking for 4+4+6+6 = 20. So that's 97 damage on turn 6, consistently.

Hi there, I saw your comment on the feed and thought I'd offer some suggestions on potential cuts. Some thoughts from looking over your deck:

• First off, I think it's great that you have something like Insurrection as a top end finisher. Having played against some goad decks in my play groups ( mostly Kardur, Doomscourge), they can have trouble closing out games.

• Your 4 drop slot seems pretty crowded and I think where you could focus some of your cuts. I think some of the cuts can eventually get turned into a couple more 2cmc rocks to help you ramp. If anything, you could probably swap 2-3 of your land slots for a couple more rocks like Talisman of Conviction, Boros Signet, Mind Stone, and maybe Cursed Mirror to copy a valuable creature.

• Speaking of lands, I think if you stay heavy on the Enchantments, it'd be worth it to run Hall of Heliod's Generosity and maybe a few other utility lands like War Room, Minas Tirith, Scavenger Grounds, and Volatile Fault. Land destruction beyond Generous Gift/Beast Within isn't super common in most play groups. You could probably swap a few of your basics for some of these.

• Goblin Diplomats might be more trouble than its worth, since your opponents can still attack you. This could maybe get swapped with Grenzo, Havoc Raiser

• I think Fumiko can be a potential cut, mostly because she forces your opponents to attack, but not necessarily to attack each other like Goad might.

• Firemane Commando as a removal option seems kinda clunky. You could maybe swap her for something like Soul Partition, which can be a protective effect or removal.

• Mangara might be a potential cut, but I think this is more of a meta dependent call. I played him in a really early iteration of my Isshin deck, and oftentimes my opponents would remove him or play around his abilities by sending their 1 biggest and/or most evasive creature at me.

• You can maybe swap Agitator Ant with Nils, Discipline Enforcer, since you have control over the counter distribution, and he also punishes the utilization of any counters on your opponents' creatures.

• Assemble the Legion could be a potential cut, as it seems kinda slow for the payoff.

If you're interested, I theory-crafted a Nelly Borca deck that is trying to do what you want to do with this deck. I doubt I'll ever put it together, but it could be helpful to compare notes with. We definitely have some core similarities, but I think I lean a bit more into aggro elements for the deck to fall back to as a finisher, or if the Goad options aren't online. Check out The Slander Commander if you'd like.
