DreadKhan on Fun cards make fun decks

9 months ago

When you talk about 'fun cards', it makes me think of political stuff, nothing makes for memorable games like politics showing up. I'm a fan of Axis of Mortality and Exquisite Blood, either is a useful card on it's own, but combined they can be really, really fun (opponent's exchanging life totals is treated as one gaining and the other losing life, so it'll trigger Esquisite). War Tax is a fun political trick, not sure if I prefer Tax or Flood, both can actually do valuable work.

Fractured Identity is a nice Azorius card that can both remove a problem card while also making a whole bunch MORE problems! Very weird with Strixhaven Stadium for example. Visions of Duplicity is an interesting spell if your Commander has a fairly high MV, the effect is quite strong potentially. If you like the idea of giving opponent's some choices to keep things interesting, there are also Callous Oppressor and the very $$$ Preacher. Fealty to the Realm is the final relevant theft effect that comes to mind, not sure if it's good enough.

I'm one of few people who cape for them, but some of the Advocates are very strong repeatable effects; I like Pulsemage Advocate, and I love Spurnmage Advocate. I love how vs some people you can actually hurt them by putting stuff they need in the graveyard into their hand, and that you can also give the player who's fallen behind a tiny leg up.

Oh, and if you ever feel like having a blocker that can feed people cards, there is Flumph, yet also Soldevi Sentry (which is a 'combo' with Smothering TitheGC in the sense that you can just feed someone as many cards as both people want, handy if you're helping them dig for a solution fwiw). Coveted Jewel is hilarious in the right meta, a real joy to see in action.

Dawnbreak Reclaimer can do a shocking amount of work sometimes, as can a World Queller (even funnier with Martyr's Bond).

You might want to look into the Hunted creatures, Hunted Horror is probably the best, but there some others that work a bit differently.

If you want repeatable (and kinda clunky) recursion in White you can try Dawnbreak Reclaimer, this can be politically powerful, as it's not just reanimating something, you can also help an ally out. There is also Pulsemage Advocate, which actually synergizes with Dawnbreak (so does my boy, Spurnmage Advocate).

If you just want weenies back use Sun Titan/Sevinne's Reclamation?

DreadKhan on Mathas, King of Politics

In Political decks with White I like stuff like Pulsemage Advocate, Spurnmage Advocate, and Dawnbreak Reclaimer. I'm not sure if it's strictly necessary, but Flumph (I agree with Mr Hammer above) and World Queller are pretty political and can do useful things in some metas, but they can also be really dead cards in others. World Queller can be infuriating if a deck runs a small number of key cards of a certain type and thus can't protect them.

Make an Example is an interesting new card that can be a lot better than Soul Shatter, it also hits each opponent, doesn't target (you choose the pile though) and is a sacrifice effect. It's not an Instant, but it has big upside if a player doesn't already know what you need gone and can isolate that creature. Another cool new card is Protection Racket, I didn't notice a ton of cards that your deck is completely dependent on, if that is correct then Racket is a really useful card, either pinging each opponent or giving you cards. It's even more absurd if you can get out Exquisite Blood.

With your Commander I feel like Volcanic Offering would be interesting, you should be able to draw 2 cards off it via your Commander in addition to blowing up 2 lands that aren't yours.

DreadKhan on Liesa final

There is an odd white Enchantment called Noble Purpose, which gives all your creatures Not-Lifelink, which stacks with Lifelink. There is also Axis of Mortality, which you can use to give your strongest opponent the lowest life total, possibly weakening them enough so that you can finish them off. There is also Martyr's Bond, which works with any sort of sacrifice effects, including fetch lands that synergize well with Sun Titan. Very good with Matyr's Bond is World Queller, which will trigger Bond to double up the effect. I like it's ability to hit permanent types that you might not even have, but hitting a type that you have but don't care about is also nice, very useful vs Voltron decks with very few creatures. Finally, I like Dawnbreak Reclaimer in a deck that cares about creatures and wants a big flyer. These are all fairly high MV, so keep that in mind, but Dawnbreak can be very politically useful, especially if you play vs non-budget decks.

Fireshrieker might be good for Liesa, Double Strike is really good on her, if you can giver her +1 power for one swing she's a 2 hit kill with just Double Strike, and she's already got flying.

A bit random, but Orzhov might like Conqueror's Galleon  ^Flip, which curves into Liesa and which Liesa can crew by herself. As long as a 2/10 can survive combat, you get ramp and some utility.

I would look at Tragic Arrogance over Kaya's Wrath, I always found that incredibly hard to cast, though I was Esper. Arrogance is a much bigger effect that is much harder on your opponents. There is also Promise of Loyalty if you are only worried about creatures, it not only gets rid of most, it prevents the survivors from coming after you.

Saw that you were looking for help and this commander seems pretty cool. Not sure what your budget is, but I'm going to make some suggestions at different price points.

Here's some cards I'd cut: Angel's Grace, Cleric Class, Angelic Accord, Treasure Chest, The Book of Exalted Deeds, Panharmonicon, Arcane Signet, Marble Diamond, Campfire, Mass Calcify, Brave the Elements, Cleansing Nova, Everflowing Chalice, and Gift of Estates

I can provide more explanation on why, but generally these cards are low impact, less helpful than they may seem, or off theme a bit. Some of these are life gain or ETB payoffs but they don't have many ways to trigger them.

I'm seeing a wincon through combat with the deck as is. Giada is Ramp in the command zone but only for Angels, and the starting list only has 17 Angel spells. Turn 2 Giada and hitting all your land drops means we can send out 4 CMC angels turn 3.

I recommend Emeria Angel, Guardian Seraph, Angel of Condemnation

A lot of the Angel's are high CMC but you're running a lot of cost reducers. Due to this I think you need more lands and more Draw. Arch of Orazca, Geier Reach Sanitarium, Sea Gate Wreckage and War Room are all utility lands you can run in mono color that tap for colorless mana and help you draw.

That leaves seven more cards to add back in. I'd go with Karmic Guide, Twilight Shepherd, Battlegrace Angel, Angelic Sleuth, Herald of the Host, Dawnbreak Reclaimer, and Aegis Angel

If you have either someone way behind, or an ally somehow, Pulsemage Advocate can reanimate stuff. It's also good if your area has a lot of people that try to use their graveyard. There is also Dawnbreak Reclaimer to repeatedly get stuff back in White. Black has a bajillion ways, but for repeatable, Coffin Queen can help. Coffin Queen can also steal other people's stuff, which is a nice perk. If you just want a one off, Reanimate, Animate Dead and maybe Dread Return or Victimize. There are a few version of Animate Dead that are generally worse, but these are some options anyways.
