3> Ahhh I've been wanting to play with Obosh, the Preypiercer and Angrath's Marauders - glad you found a spot for them. While you're at it, you could also consider other "damage doublers" such as Wound Reflection and Fiendish Duo. I've thought about a Vial-Smasher deck with a White partner just to add Gisela, Blade of Goldnight.

3> I see you enjoy big monsters and X-spells here. Oh to be young again... but seriously, this seems like a good deck to play them in as you would be rewarded. Instants are your friend, as you can Smash Vials on everyone's turn! No Comet Storm?

3> I would be worried about Vial-Smasher getting nuked from orbit as soon as your turn passes and it's no longer indestructible. You'll find Heroic Intervention and Slippery Bogbonder will help with targeted Exile removal. You already have Destroy and Sacrifice covered I see.

3> I see some cost-reduced and commander-free spells in there, but you have a limited suite. While doing research for my thoughts on Vial-Smasher, I found the following might be helpful - list is just copy/paste, so it will include some White and/or Blue cards:

abby315 on Picking a Partner for Tevesh …

Of the four, I think Tana, the Bloodsower has the most obvious synergy and Dargo, the Shipwrecker is the most powerful combo.

If you really want to play with Tevesh Szat as the spotlight, I would choose Tana and build a Prossh-style Jund sac deck; there are plenty of combos in those colors, but the focus would be on Tevesh Szat value engine.

If you build the Dargo deck, Dargo is really the important commander and Tevesh is just there to give access to black tutors and chump fodder if you can't find a faster engine. I've also seen that Dargo + a GB or GU partner is likely better if you want to go all-in on Dargo, since you can then also use him to Pod or Eldritch Evo into a wincon. It's definitely the more powerful deck, though. GLHF!

Arcaneful on Picking a Partner for Tevesh …

Hello.

I'll keep this short and to the point. I just got a Tevesh Szat and am looking to make a partner deck with him but I am stuck between 5 options. I don't want anything overly oppresive, but I want something that is a solid partner pair I can build off of on a fair budget.

My meta is casual/competitive usually in the 75% range. Example decks include: Glissa, the Traitor KCI, Golos, Tireless Pilgrim Consultation, Ramos, Dragon Engine charms/voltron, and Mizzix of the Izmagnus combo/storm.

Currently my ideas:

Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix: A proliferate/aristocrats deck. Maybe a back up win con in Thassa's Oracle.

Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa: Only here for the colors, but would win through Blood Artist loops and have a reanimator subtheme. Maybe some sort of Ashnod's Altar infinite mana loop for a Walking Ballista win.

Tana, the Bloodsower: Another aristocrats deck but this time with an overrun to win theme (End-Raze Forerunners and co for budget options)

Dargo, the Shipwrecker: I've seen some combo lines for him and I'd probably just follow those and go all in on comboing off.

Thanks for any responses.

EDIT: Fair budget means around $5-10 per card in my opinion.

VampDemigod: That comment ended up a lot more emotional than intended. Thank you still for cheering me back up.

@topic: I went through the possible partners, and I have another suggestion: Pair the kobold with Dargo, the Shipwrecker and make it a treasure deck.

Fallerup on Best Commanders in EDH [Tier List]

@ smilodex How it works. have Phyrexian Altar on the board and so sac fodder of some kind, cast Dargo, the Shipwrecker and sac him to the altar for a red. you can now sac Dargo over and over and over and over infinitely. then you cast Jeska, Thrice Reborn and -X her to kill the table because she enters with X loyalty counters for each time you cast your commander this game. possible Turn 2 kill, if you have 0 cost mana rocks to get out Phyrexian altar and stuff like that turn 1.you only need 3 creatures or artifacts to sac once and the loop in infinite.

I'll admit that I must have misread Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator (I thought he only made treasures when combat damage was dealt).

Anyway, Dargo, the Shipwrecker is probably better than I originally thought.

I guess if anyone would like to comment what they think a list of the best partner pairings would be, and some explanation, I'd reconsider my stance.

ZendikariWol on My Opinion on New Partners

Actually, Dargo, the Shipwrecker gives you infinite etb and death triggers with Phyrexian Altar or Pitiless Plunderer and a free sac outlet, and infinite mana with Food Chain, assuming you've sacrificed some stuff this turn.
