Eloise, Nephalia Sleuth

Legendary Creature — Human Rogue

Whenever another creature you control dies (is put into the graveyard, tokens are put into the graveyard before they cease to exist), investigate. (Create a colourless Clue artifact token with "{2}, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.")

Whenever you sacrifice a token, surveil 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card into your graveyard.)

I would love to see a sultai investigate deck Lonis, Cryptozoologist and Eloise, Nephalia Sleuth deserve a good clue deck

Cool deck idea! Have you thought about Eloise, Nephalia Sleuth? Fits with the Investigator theme

For cards I would consider removing, Eternal Skylord gives you a small token and flying, which is useful but not essential.

Eloise, Nephalia Sleuth isn't especially efficient in this deck. It's not a bad card, but this isn't quite the right home for it.

Gravespawn Sovereign is a 6-mana 3/3, which is a very poor deal, and the ability ties up your creatures. If this guy was closer to 6/6 or even 5/5 I'd be happier about it, but its stats are just too underwhelming.

Curse of Unbinding is a cool effect, but it's 7 mana and doesn't directly affect your Zombie goals.

As another card to consider adding, Lich Lord of Unx is another card that can capitalize on large numbers of zombies to fill graveyards and attack from a couple of different angles.

Eloise, Nephalia Sleuth

Any basic ideas so far?

For ideas on clue or investigate synergies, take this.

Treasure synergies can be found here.

Food synergy can be found here.

I hope this helps.

Undead Unleashed has lots of great synergy, a handful of great reprints and has really good value all around. Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver is one of the best zombie commanders ever printed. The back-up commander, Eloise, Nephalia Sleuth is cool but requires a much different approach. The reprint commander, Gisa and Geralf is a much better "back-up commander" in this sense as they're more synergistic with the zombie theme.

Coven Counters is a bit clunky, from my experience. Like, all the pieces work together really well in theory, but it doesn't seem to work quite as well in game. The back-up commander for this deck, Kyler, Sigardian Emissary is incredible and is easily the best commander in this deck. He is a bit of a removal magnet, though, and would need a lot more protection if you decide to build around him.

Vampiric Bloodline is a bit similar to the zombie one. Some great reprints, good all around value and lots of synergy but I haven't actually played games with the VOW ones, sadly. The VOW decks also replace the back-up commander with a pair of partners, which is cool.

Spirit Squadron is a bit more complicated than the other ones. It runs pretty well, it's just that the deck has a lot more going on than the others. Like, the vampire one, the back-up commander is a pair of partners, which I love. Partner is a really cool mechanic. Again, haven't played games with these last two.

Overall? I'd probably recommend the one as the best all-around deck, being second, and and coming in after that.

For a new player, I'd recommend looking at the commanders that each deck has and picking out whichever deck has commanders/themes that interest you the most. Big zombie fan? Grab the zombie one. Love vampires? Get the vampire one. You'll be much more interested in the decks if the decks interest you, know what I mean?

Hope this helps!

I'd recommend Eloise, Nephalia Sleuth for getting extra value out of sacrificing those slugs

legendofa on Commander cards in Standard?

2 years ago

Hypothetically, if the Commander set cards were actually Standard legal, how influential would they be? Would an otherwise Standard deck that used two copies of Eloise, Nephalia Sleuth and three Curse of Clinging Webs, for example, affect the Standard metagame at all? (I just picked a couple of cards with some synergy, I'm sure there's better potential combos.)
