Should I put either Stampede Surfer and/or Dragonlair Spider into this deck, since this deck does have an emphasis on generating creature tokens (albeit not to the extent of my Ghired, Conclave Exile deck)?

I have replaced Dragonlair Spider with Tzaangor Shaman, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.79 to 3.76 and also reduced the number of colored mana symbols in the casting costs of cards in this deck, as well, because I feel that the shaman is a better fit for the theme of this deck than was the spider.

seshiro_of_the_orochi, I did not deliberately choose to put so many legendary creatures in this deck; I simply found them to be what most appealed, to me, and, as for Phoenix Chick, that is a great cad, but I am hoping to keep all of the creatures in this deck multi-colored, so that they gain the maximum possible benefits from Boartusk Liege.

As for Dragonlair Spider, I would like to have a powerful creature with reach, to serve as a nice blocker to discourage my opponents from attacking me.

Came here from your forum post.

This deck has way too many legendaries, but I'll assume you want it that way. So why not add something to use the mana your Radha produces on attack?

Phoenix Chick would do good work here. It synergizes with Radha's attack trigger and also has haste for Samut. And it's quite the house when you target it with Al and Hal. It would overall be a great addition. So replace your two copies of Spidersilk Armor with it, and while you're at it, also take out either Dragonlair Spider or Runes of the Deus for Chicks 3 and 4. That way, you reduce your average MV by a ton and even increase synergy.

Sakaizokan, Ravenous Colony {X}{X}{B}{R}{G}

Legendary Creature - Insect Wall

Defender

When Sakaizokan enters the battlefield, create X 1/1 red insect creature tokens named Fire Ant. They have "{T}: This creature deals 1 damage to any target."

Whenever you are attacked, Sakaizokan deals X damage divided as you choose among attacking creatures equal to the number of insects you control.

Dragonlair Spider, Hornet Queen, Hornet Nest, Ant Queen, Beacon of Creation, Carrion, Grist, the Hunger Tide, Amzu, Swarm's Hunger, Izoni, Thousand-Eyed, Living Hive, Broodhatch Nantuko, Nest of Scarabs, Xira, the Golden Sting

I mean are you kidding me? And this isn't even all of them, and not even all of the best ones in these colors. Not to mention all of the all of the black punishment effects, all of the red ETB damage effects or all of the green propagation effects.

Your challenge is to make another interesting Commander, and showcase several cards that would be in their deck starting precon deck.

Remember this is a precon deck, so cards should largely be between $1 and $3 each, with maybe two or three $10 max cards.

And if you look, yes I did adhere to my own rule with Beacon of Creation, Grist, the Hunger Tide and Amzu, Swarm's Hunger being the expensive ones in the list.

You forgot to make a "goaded with the sauce" joke! 8c

Butt serially, seems fun. Also seems like you should have more Fog effects and should consider Predatory Hunger, Thundering Mightmare, Dragonlair Spider, Emberwilde Captain, and maybe Tahngarth, First Mate for shits n giggles.

Forgot to mention; for token generation consider Dragonlair Spider, Ant Queen, or Terastodon for another creature generator for both sides.

Or Curse of Opulence, Curse of Disturbance, Bloodvial Purveyor, Arasta of the Endless Web, Dragonlair Spider, Faerie Artisans, Howling Moon, Infested Roothold, Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs, Nath of the Gilt-Leaf, Overseer of the Damned, Revel in Riches, Snake Pit, Swarm Shambler, Thorn Lieutenant, or Waste Not.

The sentiment is a lot more {B}{R}{G} than actually {W}, that's all I'm saying.
