FormOverFunction on Your Cheap Obscure Overperformers?

Artificer's Hex and Encrust are two big-time aces in the hole for my haunted house and Briny Deep decks respectively. Very useful and packed with flavor. Roiling Vortex has SO MUCH packed into one little enchantment. The talismans, such as Lapis Lazuli Talisman have been a surprising amount of fun in my antique shop deck... though the activation cost is steep (can be mitigated). Vile Consumption can be devastating, primarily the first go-around after you cast it (because, often, you will immediately be murdered). Those are the first few that jump to mind, but I’m going to go back to see if they actually don’t meet the price restriction... I never know what things are worth nowadays. Alright: post-preview it looks like the tuberculosis tents from the vile consumption are more expensive than I remembered. Sorry about that one. I’ll give a different one for my wubrg natural disaster deck that’s been great: Virulent Plague has gotten a lot more important with all the new cats, dogs, squirrels, citizens, fish, umbrella-elementals, and tentacled-powerstones that people have now. Great thread topic!!

FormOverFunction on Goals as a Brewer

I love showing my hyper-themed decks off to people, and this was an additional venue. It makes me happier than I’d like to admit when I show people a card they hadn’t seen before, or make them think about a card that they haven’t really thought about (did you ever really THINK about what happens when you cast Encrust on something?). Secondarily, I enjoy watching the discussions and chiming in when I (rarely) have a relevant comment. It’s one of (maybe even half of?) the few places on the internet that I frequent, and I’m very grateful to everyone who has made me feel so welcome. Looking forward to another however many years!

tiffanyann I don’t want to be a jerk and keep on pimping my own Briny Deep deck, but definitely take a second to go through it. There are some cards in there, like Encrust, that are super themeful and easily missed. Flavor text is one of the most important aspects of M:tG in my mind.

One of the first decks I made, after getting into commander, was The Briny Deep. One of my favorite aspects of having these theme decks is perusing the spoilers as they come out looking for an ocean card (or torture, or haunted house, or natural disaster, etc). The ocean themes are often delightful; Encrust , Crush of Tentacles , and Giant Oyster are straightforward enough... but the powerful push and pull of Breaking Wave takes it up to eleven for me. What a fun color and theme!

I agree with epajula, artifact based ramp is a pretty good way to go. Here are a few suggestions on cards to cut for ramp.

Slow removal - Chant of the Skifsang , Time of Ice and Encrust . I can see the use on Encrust because it is flexible to artifacts.

Creature Auras - On Serra's Wings and Commander's Authority . With the limited number of creatures I don't know if there are good places for these to go.

Personal Sanctuary - I don't see a lot of ways that you are damaging yourself on your turn so this piece doesn't seem needed.

Inspirit - I can see that you want to untap and block to Fog a creature, but this is very conditional and probably not needed.

Good luck with this unique style deck. I like the idea and want to see how it plays when you are done.
