Icbrgr on bracket 5?!?!?! Yeah Right...
1 month ago
There really isn't a viable solution here... like unless card choices get shown in Red for not having enough supporting data for representation or something... this is where you need to be the judge and have your own insight when browsing "competitive/bracket 5" ect ect...
Take Spell Pierce/Dispel as examples... there was a time where I really thought they were weak cards because Counterspell exists... but in context of a format and what the meta is or even being on the draw or the play only after actually getting in a lot of games/experience did I understand why anyone would ever run those.
Let alone budget choices like for mana base compositions and things of this nature... "get a load of this guy running Temple Gardens instead of Savannahs"
A lot of it really is just splitting hairs... sure you can feel like your being click baited but you as the viewer need to look at a list with critical thinking too.

Big fan of Stubborn Denial, but also the other low costed specific counters like Spell Pierce and Dispel. That one mana can make the difference sometimes!

Thanks again, RiotRunner789! You have been the biggest help to me! I would use these cards, but I feel their instrumental nature is somewhat difficult to use. Ertai's Meddling is a very, very weird card to me. It doesn't seem as good as a tying-up-mana card. I'd rather use the rest of the opponent's mana when they cast something, which my other players in the commander game would enjoy and reward. I don't know why resolving it at a later turn would be better. Dispel is great, but I don't know if I can always draw it with instants resolving; surely they would use instants, it's just that I'm not completely certain of the outcomes in a game. Same goes for Confound and Intervene and Turn Aside. Negate is great; I could definitely use that. Forbid is also something I am considering.
I plan on drawing a petrifying amount of cards, haha. I have a bunch of creatures in slipspace for that to happen. I'd just have to complete myself by drawing a card that keeps my hand size from being limited. This is a huge problem for me. If you can help with this, I'd be doubly grateful!

Thinking of counter spells (especially budget),
Ertai's Meddling: Technically exiles, so gets around Dovin's Veto. Best used against other counters.
Dispel is just solid.
Confound and Intervene if you need your creatures or Turn Aside for any permanent.
Negate isn't in your deck but assuming it's for a reason.
Forbid and Dispersal Shield are both great but more synergy dependant. Do you draw a dumb amount of cards or have semi high cmc cards? I will say, Forbid
is a straight upgrade from Cancel even if buyback is almost never.

For your strategy, I'd focus on either infect or +1/+1 counters since the list seems to be a bit "busy" with too much going on. Once you choose which way you'd like to take the deck, we can further tweak - proliferation will still be central to your overall plan.
Here are some suggestions by color that you might want to consider adding to your mainboard:
:
Heroic Intervention, Nature's Lore, The Great Henge, Three Visits.
:
Akroma's Will, Flawless Manuever, Smothering Tithe, Teferi's Protection, Trouble in Pairs.
:
Cyclonic Rift, Fierce Guardianship, Mana Drain, Swan Song.
I think you can get away with swapping out removing some counter spells as it seems a bit overkill - Cancel, Dispel, Envelop, Negate, and Nullify could probably come out in favor of Fierce Guardianship, Mana Drain, and Swan Song (the others could just be cut).
For your land base, I'd work the following lands in to help with your color wheel:
Fetch Lands: Flooded Strand, Misty Rainforest, Windswept Heath
Filter Lands: Flooded Grove, Mystic Gate, Wooded Bastion
Pathways Lands: Barkchannel Pathway Flip, Branchloft Pathway Flip, Hengegate Pathway Flip
Shock Lands: Breeding Pool, Hallowed Fountain, Temple Garden
Tri-Cycle Land: Spara's Headquarters
True Duals: Savannah, Tropical Island, Tundra
For mana rocks, I prefer the talismans over the signets:
Talisman of Curiosity, Talisman of Progress, Talisman of Unity
I think your Kros, Defense Contractor list is in a good spot, it just needs to be a little more focused.

Sisay- CEDH Build

I'm not sure if you should be running that many guild Signets, why not just run more Green ramp that is better at fixing your mana? Artifacts do better in cEDH than more casual games, but you'll be feeding Dockside. I'd even run Talismans over Signets if you feel desperate for 2 mana rocks, Talisman of Indulgence is a more useful card in most situations than Rakdos Signet. Also Fellwar Stone exists fwiw.
Similarly, I'm not sure if you should run ETB tapped Fetches in a cEDH deck, but I will admit the fixing is nice. Stuff like Rocky Tar Pit belong in more casual games, at least in my experience.
I can see you have tons of combos in here, but I can't help but mention Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, she synergizes incredibly well with Sisay, Emiel and a Haste source (like Samut), usually netting you infinite mana and as many cards as you want (by flickering your Sisay, who should be the strongest creature). I only mention it because I think you've got everything Selvala needs to work, and she's a Legendary mana dork that can make any colours of mana.
If you're hoping to play cEDH I would recommend you run at least a couple Counters, some relatively affordable ones (that still hit relevant stuff reliably) are Swan Song, An Offer You Can't Refuse, and maybe Pact of Negation or even Flusterstorm. If these are too pricey you can also try Arcane Denial or Dispel. I would definitely run Dispel over Lightning Greaves in a deck like this, people don't run Sorcery speed answers very often in cEDH, so they'll just wait until you're going to equip the Greaves and then Swords you.
Do you have a plan for Opposition Agent? I feel like if people resolve one you're going to be having a very bad time, unless I'm missing a bunch of removal, and people love Oppo in cEDH. You might consider some of the more versatile removal options, stuff like Generous Gift, Stroke of Midnight, and Beast Within can hit pretty near anything you need gone.

People are talking me into Force Spike & Dispel. Idk where I’ll find room for them, but if vans bring something promising then I can focus on that :)
